Hey I was wondering if you could help me with finding a fic. It’s a Joel miller x reader where in part 1 he fixes things in the reader’s house with telling her as an expression of kindness and then in part 2 she goes on patrol with Tommy even though Joel protests it and then she gets hurt and has blood on her but it isn’t all hers but Joel still freaks out anyway. Sorry for the godawful summary but I’ve been trying to find it all day.
Hi! I vaguely remember reading something similar to this (or the exact fic lol) but I'm not sure who wrote it 🙈 anyone who knows?

Carrillo slammed his face on the steering wheel of his car with a groan. He had just spent all day in court finalizing his divorce—which had been going on for months—and just as he had gotten home, he realized that he had forgotten his service pistol at the office. Something he was not allowed to bring in the courtroom.
Fuckers.

The air is thick with heat, sweat and long lost memories. Some better than others. Not a single breeze rushes through the air. It’s all still, almost as if dead.
In all honesty, Laredo is both comforting and haunted.
Can’t be any worse than Colombia though, Javier thinks fleetingly as he tosses and turns in his bed. The heat is holding him in a chokehold, but you think he’d be used to it after facing years of it both here and in the drug paradise. But there’s a certain sadness attached to his hometown.

series masterlist | AO3
There’s loud screams all around him. Smoke, screams, and the unmistakable scent of death and despair, all around him.
Someone’s screaming for him. Saying his name on a loop. Javier, Javier, Javier. Followed by Javi. Then a toe-curling help me and please, and then—silence.
A silence so loud his ears are ringing and pouring blood.
Except when he looks around him, there’s blood everywhere.
Blood, mass destruction, and an impending sense of doom that no matter how far he runs, no matter what lies he tells, it never leaves him. It is then, in that very second as he’s looking down at the bloodied and bruised face of a woman he once thought he could be with and save, Javier realizes that sense of doom will never leave him. He will remain forever locked in its harsh and cold grip, forever followed by the inevitable shame and guilt, doomed to drown in them.
“I’m sorry,” he mutters. “’m sorry—I’m—I couldn’t—“
“Javi. Hey. It’s okay. Can you hear me? Javi. It’s me.”
His name on a loop, pronounced so carefully and sincerely, so rich with care and an almost soul-crushing sweetness, awakens him at long last. He’s disoriented as he looks around, his temples and forehead dripping with sweat. There’s a hand gently resting on his chest, steadying his heartbeat, and it’s then that Javier’s eyes come into focus and they see your face. And then slowly the realization that he’s no longer in Colombia, no longer surrounded by pain, comes into focus as well, and that he’s in his bed, next to the most wonderful woman he’s ever known.
“Are you alright?” you ask, gently rubbing his chest through the t-shirt.
“Yeah. I’m definitely better now.”
He cracks a reassuring smile and so do you.
“Nightmare?” you ask next.
Javier nods, rather hesitantly. “I was back in Colombia. In Bogota.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Upon noticing the hesitation on his face, you’re quick to add, “It’s okay if you don’t want to though. I don’t have to know everything about your past.”
Something about that feels oddly endearing; Javier hasn’t met anyone who has been as kind and understanding as you and for every genuine word you throw at him, for every gentle caress of his hand or his cheek, he feels his chest impossibly lighter, as if all the pain he has been carrying with him for the past few years is beginning to wear off at long last.
Though his tongue aches for verbal release, Javier isn’t certain that he wants to burden you with the horrors he had witnessed and done in Colombia. You are far too tame to handle such harsh realities, even if you clearly expect the truth and nothing but it.
“I did things I’m not proud of,” he lets out in a coarser than expected voice. “Terrible things. Either for information or out of… helplessness or desperation.”
You don’t say anything; you adjust your position so that you face him clearer, even in the darkness, and let him continue.
“I’m no saint, by no means. I guess sometimes I thought my actions were justified because the end result would be good. But it rarely ever was.”
And before he knows it, Javier is telling you the chapter of his life which he deemed closed some time ago, from start to finish: he tells you about him and Steve and how they worked together; he tells you about working with the most gruesome group in all of Colombia in order to get to Pablo Escobar; he tells you about Helena and how he cared about her and how he got her traumatized simply because he pushed her too much for information; he tells you of all the people he threatened, shot, of all the plans he made and failed, how he got the so-called promotion in Cali and how it meant that Steve was the one who ended Escobar eventually. By the end of it, it’s nearly morning and you’re cuddled at his chest, listening to him breathe and caressing his cheek.
“I appreciate you opening up about this,” you murmur. “I know it can’t possibly be easy.”
“It is. It feels easier with you.”
You smile, chastely kissing his lips. Javier’s chest rises and falls with each additional shaky breath he takes as he forces his mind to collaborate with his mouth in order to get out those pesky three words that have been pressing on his conscience for weeks now. Yet the way you kiss him tenderly and sweetly, as if to reassure him that he’s safe and sound from any harm in this world, it shuts him up real good.
His mother once told him that when he’ll meet someone special, he’ll know it and he’ll know just what to say and when. He was still a kid at the time and he dismissed his mother’s words, but now he feels them to be truer than ever.
“So if we were in Colombia,” you say suddenly as a smirk graces your lips, “would I be one of your girls?”
Javier turns to you, faintly amused. He cocks an eyebrow at you, his interest visibly peaked.
“What?”
“Would I be one of many girls that fall at Javier Peña’s feet? One of the lucky ones who get to go to bed with him?”
Something aches inside Javier as you pose that question. It’s a playful one and while you have no ill intentions behind it, it dawns on Javier that the idea repulses him on a certain level. The idea of you being just another pretty face to add to that seemingly endless list of conquests, another forgettable name on there… he doesn’t want that.
Especially not when the reality could not be more farther from the truth.
“No,” he responds, shifting closer to you and removing a strand of hair from your face. “No, absolutely not.”
You smile, somewhat confused. “Why not?”
“Because you’re—better. You’re—you’re everything, you—“
His heart starts pounding, his throat feels beyond dry and it feels as if there is a huge ball of fire in his chest, waiting to burst at the slightest movement.
“I—what?”
Tell her. Tell her now.
Tell her you fucking coward!
“We should get some rest,” Javier mutters, stroking your hair and coaxing you into his arms so that you fall asleep as soon as possible. Once you do, he finally exhales, still burdened and haunted, but much more secure in his decision to finally come clean to you tomorrow, no matter what.
Except that when tomorrow comes, Javier receives an unexpected invitation.
“You free in about two hours?” Steve’s voice asks through the phone, and Javier gulps out of instinct.
“Yeah, think so. Why?”
“How would you feel about having brunch with me and Connie?”
He falters, and it’s as if Steve can sense the hesitation on his part because he’s quick to add, “Hopefully my sister’s gonna be there too. Also Sylvie and her boyfriend Zack, they’re coming too. You know, my sister’s friends.”
“Right, yeah, I think she mentioned them at some point.”
“Yeah. I thought a nice friendly meal would do us all good. What do you say?”
Javier meets your face from the corner of his eye and notices the question written all over it. He shakes his head briefly, a little “I’ll handle this for us” sign, and resumes his conversation with Steve.
“Sounds nice, I’m in,” he tells Steve.
“Great. Just gotta call my sister now. Or hope to get in touch with her at least.”
“Just call her, I’m sure it’s gonna be fine.”
The moment he hangs up, he stares at you with the same guilty face he’s been having whenever Steve’s been around lately.
“You need to go to your apartment,” he tells you in a grim voice.
You frown. “Are you kicking me out?”
Javier makes a face. “No, of course not. But you need to go to your apartment because your brother’s gonna call you and you need to answer the phone.”
“I could be sleeping in. It’s Sunday, after all. I could’ve been out last night. Hell, I could’ve been with somebody. Maybe I was with Dean and we—“
“Okay, stop.”
You try not to smile seeing the bothered look on Javier’s face. Instead, you inch closer to him and wrap your arms around his neck.
“Aw, honey, are you jealous of Dean?” you peck his lips.
“I think we’ve already established that I was. But not anymore. I’ve got you, and he can go suck a lemon for all I care.”
You scoff, kissing him again, utterly enjoying the sensation of Javier simply melting into your arms, into the kiss you share.
“You really should stop with this because if you don’t, we’re gonna be stuck in here for the rest of the day, spent and sweaty,” Javier warns, to which you cock an eyebrow at him.
“Okay, so what did my brother want?”
“He invited us to brunch.”
“Us?”
“Well, me. And he should be calling you any moment, so if you could go to your apartment and answer the phone, I’d really appreciate that.”
“But I could be—“
“Please. For me?”
You roll your eyes, sighing. “Fine. You’re lucky I’m sweet on you.”
Javier presses a kiss to your cheek, stroking your hand.
“But we need to set up some ground rules for this brunch,” he tells you sternly.
“Rules? For what?”
“We said we’re not gonna tell Steve about us until we’re ready, and we’re not really there yet, so no sitting together, no touching, no looking at each other unless absolutely necessary.”
“Don’t you think that makes it more suspicious?”
“Hopefully not.”
You chuckle. “For someone who used to be a bad boy, you sure like setting down rules.”
“I’m just saying—okay, just—just go upstairs.”
“Ooh, yes, sir.”
He knows you’re joking; he knows you’re teasing him, especially in that falsely impressed and sultry tone of voice, and yet a part of him still twitches at the thought of you being so willing, so malleable and needy for him.
It’s a thought that will never leave his mind—or his body.
Tumblr media
The little bistro Steve chose—aka claims, because everyone knows Connie is the one who actually picked it—for the brunch is quite cozy: floral arrangements adorn the outside windows, little lights hang from the walls on the inside, and plenty of people buzzing and chatting, completely immersed in their conversations.
If he were honest, Javier preferred if the two of you showed up at this brunch separately—although in hindsight, that would probably raise more questions instead of burying them for good. But he still has a knot in his throat even when you assure him that nobody’s going to bat an eyelash and that they will all think you coming together here was nothing more but an act of convenience.
“I’m telling you, it’s fine,” you sneakily squeeze Javier’s hand. “Could you at least try to look less constipated? Just—you know, for at least an hour or two.”
Javier frowns at you, taking a deep breath and taking one last, long look at you, as if he’s trying to memorize every single detail about you. You crack a smile.
“It’s going to be fine,” you reassure him. “You care far more about Steven’s opinion than I do. I don’t care if he finds out.”
“I kind of do.”
“I know you do. And it’s so sweet. But so what if he finds out? I mean… what’s he gonna uncover? That his little sister is in the healthiest and best relationship she’s ever had?”
“With his friend and partner whom he particularly asked not to fool around with his little sister.”
“Javi, we’re not just fooling around.” After a pause, you continue somewhat concerned. “Are we?”
“No, absolutely not.”
“Then you shouldn’t worry this much.”
It’s quite astounding how fast you’re capable of calming Javier down with minimal effort. But it works, and when the two of you enter the place and take your seats at the table, greeted by the rest of the party, Javier breathes a little easier. He avoids Steve’s eyes as he shakes hands with Zach and Sylvie, guilt weighing on his conscience like the heaviest boulder. He tries his best in remembering your words that this isn’t about Steve, it’s about the two of you and your newfound happiness, but alas, he remains just a little bit stiff throughout brunch as conversation starts flowing between all of you.
On the brighter side, Javier smiles to himself seeing you and Steve engaged in conversation, laughing with each other. You’re sitting side by side to your brother, which means Javier is right in front of you and gets to notice the two of you mending your relationship.
Then he thinks again of how hopelessly in love he feels with you, how he has been for the past several weeks, if not more, and how it’s all happening behind Steve’s back. Maybe you were right, though; maybe it wouldn’t be so bad for Steve to find out at last. He’d find out that his little sister is happy, and that his best friend is content, at peace.
Would that be so bad?
And then he feels your foot rubbing against his, sneaking its way up, just in the slightest; he inhales a sharp breath, giving you a death stare, and he gets his answer.
Maybe it would be so bad.
“I hear you finished writing your book?” Sylvie asks you, redirecting Javier’s attention to the subject matter.
“I did,” you proudly say. “I need to do the final editing, run it by someone, but I’m pretty confident it’ll be out by next year. At least that’s the hope.”
“That’s so damn cool,” Zach says in between mouthfuls.
“Truly amazing,” Connie adds.
“I’m so proud of you.”
Everyone turns to look at Steve, who’s got the brightest smile on his face and his glass raised up. They all follow suit with the gesture, toasting your accomplishment as you stare at your big brother.
“Really, I am,” Steve goes on. “I’ve always been. Always thought you’re amazing. Much cooler than me.”
“By miles.”
The table laughs.
“But it dawned on me that I never really told you this. So… I want you to know that I am very proud of you, every day. And I love you.”
“Thank you. And I love you too.”
“Here, here!”
 The conversation begins to flow easily afterwards: Connie shares Olivia’s latest endeavors and how she started walking; Zach and Sylvie talk about their relationship and how it is to live together, to which you make a tasteful joke about her pretending to still live with you as well and how you and Zach basically share Sylvie; then Steve talks about work and how he enjoys it, being similar and yet different than what he used to do in Colombia. Javier remains silent during this portion, sipping on his black coffee and pretending not to feel your leg sliding up his.
“What about you, Javier?” Sylvie asks.
“What about me what?”
“How do you like it at the precinct?”
“It’s okay.”
You eye him briefly, affectionately rubbing your leg on his shin, concealing a smile as you see him squirm in his seat.
“Javi’s having a bit of a tough time adjusting,” Steve intervenes.
“It’s police work. It’s what I know, and it’s what I do.”
“It’s what gives you nightmares.”
Everyone at the table turns towards you, the same surprised look on all of their faces. You shrug, ignoring Javier’s deadly stare.
“And you know this how?” Steve asks reticently.
“By talking. By asking and by actually getting to know people, Steven.”
“Let’s move on, shall we?” Javier suggests.
“What do you mean?” Steve resumes, focusing solely on you. “I know people, I talk to them.”
You take a deep breath, maintaining a neutral tone even if your pulse increases rapidly.
“You refer to Javier as your best friend, but besides work, how much do you really talk to each other?”
“We talk.”
“Sometimes too much if you ask me,” Javier adds.
“Point is, he is my best friend.”
“Really? Did you know that he has night terrors? Not nightmares, terrors. And not every night, but he has ‘em. He mumbles and groans in his sleep, sometimes cries or even screams. He apologizes over and over to dead people, to you and to Connie.”
“Oh, Javi…” Connie mumbles.
“Do you know how I know this?”
There’s a lightbulb moment happening inside Steve’s head, and it is perfectly legible on his face as he stares at you, then at Javier, who gulps. Steve says your name, still processing, and it is only then that Javier stands up abruptly, his eyes shooting right at you.
“Can I talk to you for a minute? All the way over there?”
You raise your eyebrows, quite surprised, but nod and follow Javier all the way to the buffet table. You notice the little crease between his brows, the way he purses his lips and you can tell something’s making him uncomfortable. Suddenly the thought makes you feel guilty.
“Javi, I’m sorry if I crossed a line—“
“You thought at brunch would be a good idea to rub your leg against me? With your friends and brother right next to you?”
You furrow your brows, even more taken aback. “Okay, not where I thought this conversation was headed,” you confess.
“Tell me.”
As much as you’d like to deny it or pretend like it doesn’t affect you, Javier’s demeanor is getting through to you in ways you wouldn’t have thought possible; the way he’s being so adamant about his request, his voice low and husky—
“I thought it would be fun, yes,” you shamelessly admit.
“You gotta stop it because otherwise I might excuse us again and fuck you in that bathroom.”
Speechless, you stare at him, mouth ajar and heart pounding in your ears. You find yourself incapable of saying anything for the next few seconds, and even more shocking, you find yourself seriously debating Javier’s words.
“Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about it,” he says.
“Don’t tell me you’re not,” you chuckle.
Javier huffs, frustrated to the point of taking his own words into consideration.
Except he is trying really hard not to be that kind of man and be more respectful and wary.
“Gotta be honest, I thought you were gonna be upset about me saying you have nightmares,” you mutter.
“No, I’m upset because you were rubbing up against me with your brother right next to you, and I can’t keep going like this. So either you tell him about us, or I do.”
You stare at him incredulously. “Wait, seriously? You wanna tell him?”
“I need a clear conscience. And I really need it so next time I fuck you, I won’t feel so guilty.”
You chuckle, stroking his arm. You’re fully aware that the gesture hasn’t gone unnoticed by the four people who are most likely still staring at you two, but all of a sudden, you no longer care. Javier is right; just as he doesn’t want to deny or hide it anymore, neither do you.
So when you return to the table, the perfect comeback is hatched from your brain.
“Sorry about that,” you smile, turning straight to Steven.
“What’s going on?”
“As I was saying, do you know how I know all of those things about Javier?”
“Don’t say it.”
“I’ve been spending the nights at his place. Every night for like three months now.”
Connie and Sylvie are the only ones smiling, except the latter is sipping from her cup of coffee with utmost interest.
“Three months?” Steven repeats. “So you chose to sleep with my best friend to what? To prove a point, to—to laugh in my face?”
“Neither. Actually, it did start as a way to get back at you. But as it turns out, he’s great in the sack.”
“As advertised,” Javier adds.
“And you wanted to skip brunch today,” Sylvie whispers to Zach, who’s watching the exchange as speechless as Connie.
“Don’t—“Steve shakes his head.
“Oh yeah, he’s fantastic. Knows his way around a woman’s body better than she knows it. I’m talking about waves and waves of endless pleasure.”
“I think I’m gonna throw up.”
“Actually, I think I might too. We haven’t really been careful, you know? It’s been a lot of sweaty, rough and yet so passionate—“
“Okay, stop! Why are you being like this? Both of you!”
You exchange a glare with Javier, both of you smiling at each other.
“Like what? Wild, unhinged?”
“Kind of, yes!”
“The way you’ve been treating me since I was 15? Which I haven’t been in years, by the way.”
“Please tell me you were using some form of birth control though.”
“Ew, shut up! Would you calm down already? We’re both responsible adults, we know what to do. Besides, we’re not just sleeping together. We’re going on dates and spending time together and… we like each other.”
“We’re not just fooling around,” Javier adds, unable to look away from you. “I’m in love with her.”
You stare back at him, ignoring Connie’s soft oh my God in your vicinity, even Sylvie’s I fuckin’ knew it towards Zach.
“Javi, it’s okay, you don’t have to—“
“I love her, Steve. And I did keep my promise to not fool around with her. What I can do is promise to keep her safe and treat her with respect and care.”
It dawns on you that this is the first time you’ve heard Javier say those words, and realizing he also hasn’t said them since his last real relationship. It’s a huge milestone in both your lives, and the fact that Javier chose this moment to confess makes you realize how much he must care about you.
“It’s true,” you add. “I—I love him too. I have for quite some time.”
“I fuckin’ told you,” Sylvie smiles. “I told you, and I knew sooner or later—“
“Not now, Syl.”
“Right, sorry. Continue.”
“Honey?” Connie presses her hand to Steve’s shoulder. “Don’t you wanna say something to them?”
“I’m really sorry, guys. I never wanted to… to treat you this way, to push you even further, sis. I guess I was just afraid that what Colombia did to me and Javier would be too much for you to handle. I know Connie got overwhelmed at some point. Rightfully so. But after all, I had her to come home to. Javier was… alone, and burying his problems in alcohol, cigarettes and random women. Relationships were out of question for him, and I saw what Colombia did to him overall, what all of that did to him. I didn’t want any of that for you. I obviously want you both to be happy, that’s all I’ve ever wanted. And I see you guys now being so happy with each other… it makes me happy.”
“We’re sorry we didn’t tell you earlier,” Javier says. “I guess we needed some time to figure things out ourselves.”
“Doesn’t matter now. Point is, I know my sister, she’s an amazing woman, and I—I missed the angle where that might be something good for Javier. Which it clearly is. And clearly he was full of shit when he said you’re not his type.”
“Just out of curiosity,” you intervene, “what exactly is Javier’s type?”
“The usual sexy, sultry woman.”
You raise your brows, to which Steve panics. “Not that you’re not! I mean, not that I think you as my sister are sexy… okay, this is weird, let’s move on.”
“Yeah, let’s.”
“I meant, you’re more the next door girl kind of woman, I suppose, and Javier usually went for the ‘right in your face sexy’ kind of a woman.”
“Relax, I know. I’m just teasing you.”
“Yeah, it’s what you do best.”
Everyone laughs, with Connie affectionately rubbing Steve’s arm.
“But listen, as glad as I am that we are talking about this and being open and mature about it, please do be safe, okay?” Steve says, and you make a face. “Also I know this goes without saying, probably—hopefully—but please don’t have a baby just to spite me.”
“Steven—“
“Please, I’ve learned my lesson, I swear. I promise I’ll be good! I’ll stay out of your relationship, just don’t—“
“Steven!”
“I’m not totally ready to be an uncle. I need to mentally prepare myself for a baby that’s half Murphy, half Peña.”
You roll your eyes. “Would you relax? We are not there yet. We may never be there. I don’t know. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but for now we’re good the way we are. Plus he’s teaching me Spanish too.”
“Oh, that’s nice.”
“But don’t worry, we only do it when I get a full sentence right.”
Seeing the scandalized look on Steve’s face, you burst into laughter, and the rest follow suit.
“I’m kidding! Oh my God, it’s so fun messing with you.”
“Something is seriously wrong with you.”
You can’t help but share the laughter with the rest of the company, never quite managing to capture Javier’s eyes in your direction, not even on the way home. It only hits you the weight of the words that had been hastily, yet calculatedly, been spilled at the brunch table among friends and family once you get the inside of his apartment. You look around, finally allowing the day’s events to hit you, and then you turn to look at Javier, a warm smile gracing your face.
He confessed to everyone present that he loved you, standing up to your overly protective older brother.
“What’s going on?” Javier asks.
It somehow still surprises you that he’s able to capture the concern on your face, even when it’s not there. You’re not concerned this time around. Quite the opposite; you’ve never felt more at ease and more impressed by a partner. Granted, not that you had many serious relationships in the past, but this right now with Javier, it has so much potential to be something grand that it astounds you.
“About what you said before,” you start, your heart thrumming in your ears. “At brunch.”
Then it hits Javier as well. He inhales deeply, steadying himself.
“Right. So here’s the thing,” he clears his throat. “I’ve only ever said those words once before, and as we know, it didn’t end very well. Okay, in all fairness, it wasn’t paradise city from the beginning, it was more of a masked—that’s not the point. Anyway—“
You conceal a chuckle, staring at him with anticipation and a warmth that exceeds any expectation.
“I’ve only said those words once,” he resumes, “and I did mean it at the time. But I wasn’t really… in love when I said them. It didn’t feel like it should. But now, I think for the first time in my life, I feel those words the way they should feel. I thought I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t do relationships because I suck at them and there was never any time back in Colombia but… I think I just needed to find my match.”
You take his hand into yours. “Javi…”
“I’m serious. I’ve never met anyone so witty and funny, so—so badass. Frankly you could probably kick my ass and I’d be hella turned on.”
You don’t stifle the hearty laugh that escapes your mouth this time, and it triggers the same reaction out of Javier.
“The point I’m trying to make is… I meant what I said. I didn’t just say it to shut Steve up. I—I do love you. The best that I can, which I don’t think is near enough to what you deserve, but… I’m trying to do better, to—“
You cup his cheeks, kissing him tenderly. Javier blinks surprised at you, and his flustered face with his big brown eyes is so sweet it weakens your knees.
“You’re doing just fine, Javi,” you reassure him. “Are you kidding me? You’re so attentive and sweet and—and I love you too.”
Javier blinks in surprise again. Somehow it slipped right by him that you could reciprocate his feelings, hence why he’s rendered speechless for several seconds.
“What uh—I mean… you do?” he finally asks.
“I do. I love you. I should’ve said it sooner, I think, after you turned my story into a book. That’s… kind of when I knew. I guess I chickened out.”
“You chickened out? Why?”
You sigh. “Because… I never said the words before.”
“Wait, you never said ‘I love you’ to someone?”
You shake your head, slightly shuddering. “Well, you know my dating history and patterns, so none of those boys stuck around long enough for me to actually develop real feelings. And there was never any real connection between us. All we really had—“
“Ah, okay, I can—I can visualize what you had.”
“Aw, honey, are you jealous?”
“No. Just… not really a fan of picturing you have sweaty sex with some douchebag.”
“How about if I have some sweaty sex with a very good man?”
Though his interest visibly peaked, Javier still gulps at the notion of being referred to as “a very good man”. It’s the lie he’s told himself countless times back in Medellin and Cali and Bogota, and the same lie he operated under with the hope of excusing his horrid choices. But to hear now as something factual, something that someone as wonderful as you actually believes in…
“You could,” he finally says, stepping closer to you.
His hands roam around your waist, teasing from the small of your back; shivers run down your spine, prickling your skin.
“Is this how you were with the women back then?” you dare ask.
“Why the sudden interest?”
You shrug. “Not sudden. I’m a writer. Everyone has the potential to be an interesting character. Besides, I find the Javier stories fascinating.”
“That so?”
“Mhm.”
“Well, that Javier isn’t really around. All he was good for was some fast and rough outlet for release and… not much more.”
“So I take it that dominant, needy Javier is gone?”
He raises his brows, chuckling at the way you’re sneakily handling him. A part of him still fears this power you hold over him, but a bigger part of him is thrilled even by the still of your hand, let alone the way you’re capable of handling him.
He’s never had that, he realizes; he’s never had a woman meet him right where he’s at, handle him like a pro and then some more, and he enjoys it far more than he would’ve expected.
“I meant gone as in… gone on a vacation, not dead.”
You smile, teasingly playing with the hem of his shirt.
“That what you need now?” Javier teases.
“I want whatever you’re comfortable with giving me.”
That’s what ultimately sets him off. So when he finally kisses you, it’s rugged, needy and asserting dominance, but there’s also something very tender in the way Javier is holding you, pulling you into his body. Javier’s sole focus right now is exposing more of you to him, feeling you as close as humanly possible; therefore, he doesn’t tell you just how affected he is by your choice of words. He doesn’t tell you that this is the weakest, yet strongest he’s ever felt. If someone were to ask him how he feels, he’d easily reply “disgustingly happy”, words which he never used before.
He doesn’t tell you any of this; he lets actions speak louder. Calloused fingers, accustomed to manhandling and roughhousing, caress and cup your ass. With each passing second, the kiss you share deepens further, his pulse quickens and his jeans become more and more constricted. Never mind that it’s the middle of the day, in broad daylight; Javier wants—needs—to marvel at every inch of you, exactly as it is.
“Whatever you want from me,” he tells you through a shuddering breath as he slowly undresses you, “it’s yours. Anything.”
Javier surprises himself at how malleable he finds himself to be, caught under your spell, but he does not care one bit. When you look into his eyes and see his blown out pupils, you know he means it. You feel his words to be true.
You smile as you close your eyes and pull him in for another hasty kiss, stumbling your way to the bed. Javier strips you slowly, stealing kisses down your body while a breath catches in your throat. The sun shines right through the big windows on this crisp fall day, so there’s nothing to hide. It’s only when Javier’s hands finally pull down your panties and expose you to him that you notice you’re facing the mirror hanging from the wall of his bedroom. You shiver and on cue, Javier’s hungry eyes look up to meet yours. He smirks—because of course he does, son of a bitch.
“It’s a great view, isn’t it?” he murmurs, tentatively licking a stripe up your pussy.
His eyes don’t leave you when you sneak another glance at the mirror: it’s not huge, but big enough to fit your naked body and Javier’s head right between your legs. No good words cross your mind, even if your mind is in overdrive, begging your mouth to release some form of verbal speech. Your knees buckle and your heart beats rapidly when Javier takes his first taste. It feels like the first time he’s ever done this, though it’s really old news by this point. Recently you thought Javier’s existence is limited to one place and one place alone, and that is in between your legs, based on how much he loves spending time down there—whether he’s snug inside you or eating you out.
“Watch how gorgeous you are when you come on my tongue,” you hear Javier’s voice, lustful and dark.
“Presumptuous, aren’t we?”
You laugh a little, but it quickly fades when you feel two digits moving slowly in and out of you, a tongue collecting the slick gathered in your most sensitive spot. His nose nudges your clit, his whole mouth is seemingly buried in your pussy, and all you can do is moan helplessly, let one of your hands grab a handful of his hair and keep your eyes locked on the way your body curves and aches at his mercy. God, he’s so needy, so eager to please you and to give you orgasms; almost like this is his purpose in this world.
“Does it feel good?” you hear his husky voice.
His fingers feel like they’re splitting you open while you nearly fall apart in his mouth, and at the same time it’s not enough. It drives you insane.
You nod frantically, locked in the same trance of watching yourself getting ate out by Javier.
“With words, señorita.”
Oh fuck. You hadn’t expected that, certainly not the reaction it triggers out of you.
“Yes,” you exhale. “It feels so, so good, Javi.”
“Good. Touch yourself.”
Though your mind is in a haze, you’re able to follow his instruction. Your hand bolts to your clit, rubbing in circling motions. That, paired with his fingers pumping in and out of you and his mouth like a hot furnace devouring your pussy, it doesn’t take that much longer to get you to where you desperately need. Seeing you like this, being able to make you feel this way, it’s all getting to Javier too; he’s gotten so hard by this point it’s borderline masochistic how much pain he’s voluntarily taking in, so he unconsciously starts to rub against the edge of the bed. The friction is so good, but nowhere near enough. It’ll have to do for now, he thinks. He needs to get you off first.
A moan is harshly ripped from the back of your throat, your legs jerk and nearly trap Javier between them as pleasure jolts throughout your body. It’s electric, overwhelming, and simply unmatched. It’s too much all at once, to look in the mirror and see how painfully needy you are for this man, how beautifully fucked out you look in at this very moment. You notice his hips, desperately humping the bed, unbeknownst even to himself.
Javier pulls out his fingers, only his tongue remaining on your overly sensitive area, the strokes of it now gentler. You tug on his hair to make him attentive, and when he looks up, you see his face contorted in a mixture of delight, pleasure and neediness. And just like that, your body aches again, only this time for something more.
“Ah fuck,” Javier groans in his fast attempt to dispose of his clothes. “Didn’t notice I was—“
He sighs right as you smile, taking in the sight of a naked Javier, all in broad daylight for you to savor. He’s so hard now it almost pains you, so when you make a motion to get to him and stroke him, Javier nearly swats your hand away.
“Why not?” you ask with a pout.
“Because it’s gonna be a fucking miracle if I last more than a few seconds and I wanna be inside you when we come.”
You raise your brows. “We?”
“What did I tell you in the beginning that you’ll always have from me?”
“At least two orgasms.”
“I live up to my words.”
He’s wrapped the condom around his cock, now crawling in between your legs, the place he has claimed as his own and by far the most incredible place he’s ever resided in. He’s done this plenty of times before now, it’s nothing new; and yet, this very moment which reeks of anticipation and desire, this single moment in time when his hand is curled around his cock, guiding himself to your already soaked entrance, Javier wishes he could freeze it, keep it to himself forever.
When he slides right at home, deep inside you, you both moan in tandem. And it is the most damnable, beguiling and intoxicating sensation he’s ever known.
Probably because you’re not just another girl passing through his life and his bed. You’re not another random face or a number to the list of women he’s been with.
You’re the woman he loves, the woman he’d take a bullet for if he had to, the woman he’d move mountains for.
“Javi?”
You have this ability to bring him back with his feet to the ground whenever he tends to wander off, and Javier is nothing if not grateful for it, particularly now.
“Can you move? Please?” you plead and it’s so sweet he could come just from that.
Javier chuckles, the sound resembling that of a madman—and he supposes he is one, in a sense.
“Keep lookin’,” he instructs, a little bit of his Texan roots slipping in his tone as he starts to roll his hips. “Want you to watch how good you take me. How—beautiful you are when you take me.”
The grip you have over his shoulders tightens as his hips pick up a moderate pace, pounding into you with a mixture of greed and love. The more he sinks into you, whispering sweet nothings and giving the occasional order, the more you feel pressure building inside your belly. You do as he says, watching your body writhing beneath his in the mirror, and you shudder. His back covers a lot of the frame, so you mostly notice him from behind, pounding into you, and your nearly limp body underneath, taking him as he is giving himself to you.
The sensation of having him atop of you is stellar, something almost like it was meant for you and you alone; Javier’s stealing the occasional kiss from you, his hips more erratic with each additional thrust and his mouth whispering that he’s so close, so fucking close.
“D’you see?” he manages to get out through a wicked smile. “See how—how fuckin’ good you look hmm?”
“Yes—yes, I see it—“
“Mhm—good girl. My good fuckin’ girl.”
Javier loses any train of thought, be it rational or not, and when his orgasm finally hits, it’s all too much and too sudden, and when he can’t stop cussing or thrusting furiously into you, you cup his cheeks and tell him a simple “I love you”.
And he lets go, almost violently.
He’s struggling to catch his breath when he feels you spasming around him, and there’s pride to be felt even when he’s dumbfounded that you came almost at the same time.
“I’m sorry,” he says, and you make a face at him trying to regulate his breaths. “I was kinda hoping… I’d last longer.”
You kiss him sweetly, gently, still feeling him ache inside of you. “It’s the sexiest thing,” you murmur.
“Having the endurance of a teenage boy?”
“No, the idea that someone needs you this desperately they can’t hold themselves in one piece. I love that. And I love you.”
Javier pecks your lips. “I don’t think I’ll get used to you saying that.”
“You should.”
“I love you too.”
You stay snugged up like that for who knows how long, while the sun rays beam down on your naked bodies. And then it starts to get dark, and you’re on Javier’s lap, slowly riding him and kissing him, aiming for nothing in particular but intimacy.

series masterlist | AO3
There’s loud screams all around him. Smoke, screams, and the unmistakable scent of death and despair, all around him.
Someone’s screaming for him. Saying his name on a loop. Javier, Javier, Javier. Followed by Javi. Then a toe-curling help me and please, and then—silence.
A silence so loud his ears are ringing and pouring blood.
Except when he looks around him, there’s blood everywhere.
Blood, mass destruction, and an impending sense of doom that no matter how far he runs, no matter what lies he tells, it never leaves him. It is then, in that very second as he’s looking down at the bloodied and bruised face of a woman he once thought he could be with and save, Javier realizes that sense of doom will never leave him. He will remain forever locked in its harsh and cold grip, forever followed by the inevitable shame and guilt, doomed to drown in them.
“I’m sorry,” he mutters. “’m sorry—I’m—I couldn’t—“
“Javi. Hey. It’s okay. Can you hear me? Javi. It’s me.”
His name on a loop, pronounced so carefully and sincerely, so rich with care and an almost soul-crushing sweetness, awakens him at long last. He’s disoriented as he looks around, his temples and forehead dripping with sweat. There’s a hand gently resting on his chest, steadying his heartbeat, and it’s then that Javier’s eyes come into focus and they see your face. And then slowly the realization that he’s no longer in Colombia, no longer surrounded by pain, comes into focus as well, and that he’s in his bed, next to the most wonderful woman he’s ever known.
“Are you alright?” you ask, gently rubbing his chest through the t-shirt.
“Yeah. I’m definitely better now.”
He cracks a reassuring smile and so do you.
“Nightmare?” you ask next.
Javier nods, rather hesitantly. “I was back in Colombia. In Bogota.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Upon noticing the hesitation on his face, you’re quick to add, “It’s okay if you don’t want to though. I don’t have to know everything about your past.”
Something about that feels oddly endearing; Javier hasn’t met anyone who has been as kind and understanding as you and for every genuine word you throw at him, for every gentle caress of his hand or his cheek, he feels his chest impossibly lighter, as if all the pain he has been carrying with him for the past few years is beginning to wear off at long last.
Though his tongue aches for verbal release, Javier isn’t certain that he wants to burden you with the horrors he had witnessed and done in Colombia. You are far too tame to handle such harsh realities, even if you clearly expect the truth and nothing but it.
“I did things I’m not proud of,” he lets out in a coarser than expected voice. “Terrible things. Either for information or out of… helplessness or desperation.”
You don’t say anything; you adjust your position so that you face him clearer, even in the darkness, and let him continue.
“I’m no saint, by no means. I guess sometimes I thought my actions were justified because the end result would be good. But it rarely ever was.”
And before he knows it, Javier is telling you the chapter of his life which he deemed closed some time ago, from start to finish: he tells you about him and Steve and how they worked together; he tells you about working with the most gruesome group in all of Colombia in order to get to Pablo Escobar; he tells you about Helena and how he cared about her and how he got her traumatized simply because he pushed her too much for information; he tells you of all the people he threatened, shot, of all the plans he made and failed, how he got the so-called promotion in Cali and how it meant that Steve was the one who ended Escobar eventually. By the end of it, it’s nearly morning and you’re cuddled at his chest, listening to him breathe and caressing his cheek.
“I appreciate you opening up about this,” you murmur. “I know it can’t possibly be easy.”
“It is. It feels easier with you.”
You smile, chastely kissing his lips. Javier’s chest rises and falls with each additional shaky breath he takes as he forces his mind to collaborate with his mouth in order to get out those pesky three words that have been pressing on his conscience for weeks now. Yet the way you kiss him tenderly and sweetly, as if to reassure him that he’s safe and sound from any harm in this world, it shuts him up real good.
His mother once told him that when he’ll meet someone special, he’ll know it and he’ll know just what to say and when. He was still a kid at the time and he dismissed his mother’s words, but now he feels them to be truer than ever.
“So if we were in Colombia,” you say suddenly as a smirk graces your lips, “would I be one of your girls?”
Javier turns to you, faintly amused. He cocks an eyebrow at you, his interest visibly peaked.
“What?”
“Would I be one of many girls that fall at Javier Peña’s feet? One of the lucky ones who get to go to bed with him?”
Something aches inside Javier as you pose that question. It’s a playful one and while you have no ill intentions behind it, it dawns on Javier that the idea repulses him on a certain level. The idea of you being just another pretty face to add to that seemingly endless list of conquests, another forgettable name on there… he doesn’t want that.
Especially not when the reality could not be more farther from the truth.
“No,” he responds, shifting closer to you and removing a strand of hair from your face. “No, absolutely not.”
You smile, somewhat confused. “Why not?”
“Because you’re—better. You’re—you’re everything, you—“
His heart starts pounding, his throat feels beyond dry and it feels as if there is a huge ball of fire in his chest, waiting to burst at the slightest movement.
“I—what?”
Tell her. Tell her now.
Tell her you fucking coward!
“We should get some rest,” Javier mutters, stroking your hair and coaxing you into his arms so that you fall asleep as soon as possible. Once you do, he finally exhales, still burdened and haunted, but much more secure in his decision to finally come clean to you tomorrow, no matter what.
Except that when tomorrow comes, Javier receives an unexpected invitation.
“You free in about two hours?” Steve’s voice asks through the phone, and Javier gulps out of instinct.
“Yeah, think so. Why?”
“How would you feel about having brunch with me and Connie?”
He falters, and it’s as if Steve can sense the hesitation on his part because he’s quick to add, “Hopefully my sister’s gonna be there too. Also Sylvie and her boyfriend Zack, they’re coming too. You know, my sister’s friends.”
“Right, yeah, I think she mentioned them at some point.”
“Yeah. I thought a nice friendly meal would do us all good. What do you say?”
Javier meets your face from the corner of his eye and notices the question written all over it. He shakes his head briefly, a little “I’ll handle this for us” sign, and resumes his conversation with Steve.
“Sounds nice, I’m in,” he tells Steve.
“Great. Just gotta call my sister now. Or hope to get in touch with her at least.”
“Just call her, I’m sure it’s gonna be fine.”
The moment he hangs up, he stares at you with the same guilty face he’s been having whenever Steve’s been around lately.
“You need to go to your apartment,” he tells you in a grim voice.
You frown. “Are you kicking me out?”
Javier makes a face. “No, of course not. But you need to go to your apartment because your brother’s gonna call you and you need to answer the phone.”
“I could be sleeping in. It’s Sunday, after all. I could’ve been out last night. Hell, I could’ve been with somebody. Maybe I was with Dean and we—“
“Okay, stop.”
You try not to smile seeing the bothered look on Javier’s face. Instead, you inch closer to him and wrap your arms around his neck.
“Aw, honey, are you jealous of Dean?” you peck his lips.
“I think we’ve already established that I was. But not anymore. I’ve got you, and he can go suck a lemon for all I care.”
You scoff, kissing him again, utterly enjoying the sensation of Javier simply melting into your arms, into the kiss you share.
“You really should stop with this because if you don’t, we’re gonna be stuck in here for the rest of the day, spent and sweaty,” Javier warns, to which you cock an eyebrow at him.
“Okay, so what did my brother want?”
“He invited us to brunch.”
“Us?”
“Well, me. And he should be calling you any moment, so if you could go to your apartment and answer the phone, I’d really appreciate that.”
“But I could be—“
“Please. For me?”
You roll your eyes, sighing. “Fine. You’re lucky I’m sweet on you.”
Javier presses a kiss to your cheek, stroking your hand.
“But we need to set up some ground rules for this brunch,” he tells you sternly.
“Rules? For what?”
“We said we’re not gonna tell Steve about us until we’re ready, and we’re not really there yet, so no sitting together, no touching, no looking at each other unless absolutely necessary.”
“Don’t you think that makes it more suspicious?”
“Hopefully not.”
You chuckle. “For someone who used to be a bad boy, you sure like setting down rules.”
“I’m just saying—okay, just—just go upstairs.”
“Ooh, yes, sir.”
He knows you’re joking; he knows you’re teasing him, especially in that falsely impressed and sultry tone of voice, and yet a part of him still twitches at the thought of you being so willing, so malleable and needy for him.
It’s a thought that will never leave his mind—or his body.
Tumblr media
The little bistro Steve chose—aka claims, because everyone knows Connie is the one who actually picked it—for the brunch is quite cozy: floral arrangements adorn the outside windows, little lights hang from the walls on the inside, and plenty of people buzzing and chatting, completely immersed in their conversations.
If he were honest, Javier preferred if the two of you showed up at this brunch separately—although in hindsight, that would probably raise more questions instead of burying them for good. But he still has a knot in his throat even when you assure him that nobody’s going to bat an eyelash and that they will all think you coming together here was nothing more but an act of convenience.
“I’m telling you, it’s fine,” you sneakily squeeze Javier’s hand. “Could you at least try to look less constipated? Just—you know, for at least an hour or two.”
Javier frowns at you, taking a deep breath and taking one last, long look at you, as if he’s trying to memorize every single detail about you. You crack a smile.
“It’s going to be fine,” you reassure him. “You care far more about Steven’s opinion than I do. I don’t care if he finds out.”
“I kind of do.”
“I know you do. And it’s so sweet. But so what if he finds out? I mean… what’s he gonna uncover? That his little sister is in the healthiest and best relationship she’s ever had?”
“With his friend and partner whom he particularly asked not to fool around with his little sister.”
“Javi, we’re not just fooling around.” After a pause, you continue somewhat concerned. “Are we?”
“No, absolutely not.”
“Then you shouldn’t worry this much.”
It’s quite astounding how fast you’re capable of calming Javier down with minimal effort. But it works, and when the two of you enter the place and take your seats at the table, greeted by the rest of the party, Javier breathes a little easier. He avoids Steve’s eyes as he shakes hands with Zach and Sylvie, guilt weighing on his conscience like the heaviest boulder. He tries his best in remembering your words that this isn’t about Steve, it’s about the two of you and your newfound happiness, but alas, he remains just a little bit stiff throughout brunch as conversation starts flowing between all of you.
On the brighter side, Javier smiles to himself seeing you and Steve engaged in conversation, laughing with each other. You’re sitting side by side to your brother, which means Javier is right in front of you and gets to notice the two of you mending your relationship.
Then he thinks again of how hopelessly in love he feels with you, how he has been for the past several weeks, if not more, and how it’s all happening behind Steve’s back. Maybe you were right, though; maybe it wouldn’t be so bad for Steve to find out at last. He’d find out that his little sister is happy, and that his best friend is content, at peace.
Would that be so bad?
And then he feels your foot rubbing against his, sneaking its way up, just in the slightest; he inhales a sharp breath, giving you a death stare, and he gets his answer.
Maybe it would be so bad.
“I hear you finished writing your book?” Sylvie asks you, redirecting Javier’s attention to the subject matter.
“I did,” you proudly say. “I need to do the final editing, run it by someone, but I’m pretty confident it’ll be out by next year. At least that’s the hope.”
“That’s so damn cool,” Zach says in between mouthfuls.
“Truly amazing,” Connie adds.
“I’m so proud of you.”
Everyone turns to look at Steve, who’s got the brightest smile on his face and his glass raised up. They all follow suit with the gesture, toasting your accomplishment as you stare at your big brother.
“Really, I am,” Steve goes on. “I’ve always been. Always thought you’re amazing. Much cooler than me.”
“By miles.”
The table laughs.
“But it dawned on me that I never really told you this. So… I want you to know that I am very proud of you, every day. And I love you.”
“Thank you. And I love you too.”
“Here, here!”
 The conversation begins to flow easily afterwards: Connie shares Olivia’s latest endeavors and how she started walking; Zach and Sylvie talk about their relationship and how it is to live together, to which you make a tasteful joke about her pretending to still live with you as well and how you and Zach basically share Sylvie; then Steve talks about work and how he enjoys it, being similar and yet different than what he used to do in Colombia. Javier remains silent during this portion, sipping on his black coffee and pretending not to feel your leg sliding up his.
“What about you, Javier?” Sylvie asks.
“What about me what?”
“How do you like it at the precinct?”
“It’s okay.”
You eye him briefly, affectionately rubbing your leg on his shin, concealing a smile as you see him squirm in his seat.
“Javi’s having a bit of a tough time adjusting,” Steve intervenes.
“It’s police work. It’s what I know, and it’s what I do.”
“It’s what gives you nightmares.”
Everyone at the table turns towards you, the same surprised look on all of their faces. You shrug, ignoring Javier’s deadly stare.
“And you know this how?” Steve asks reticently.
“By talking. By asking and by actually getting to know people, Steven.”
“Let’s move on, shall we?” Javier suggests.
“What do you mean?” Steve resumes, focusing solely on you. “I know people, I talk to them.”
You take a deep breath, maintaining a neutral tone even if your pulse increases rapidly.
“You refer to Javier as your best friend, but besides work, how much do you really talk to each other?”
“We talk.”
“Sometimes too much if you ask me,” Javier adds.
“Point is, he is my best friend.”
“Really? Did you know that he has night terrors? Not nightmares, terrors. And not every night, but he has ‘em. He mumbles and groans in his sleep, sometimes cries or even screams. He apologizes over and over to dead people, to you and to Connie.”
“Oh, Javi…” Connie mumbles.
“Do you know how I know this?”
There’s a lightbulb moment happening inside Steve’s head, and it is perfectly legible on his face as he stares at you, then at Javier, who gulps. Steve says your name, still processing, and it is only then that Javier stands up abruptly, his eyes shooting right at you.
“Can I talk to you for a minute? All the way over there?”
You raise your eyebrows, quite surprised, but nod and follow Javier all the way to the buffet table. You notice the little crease between his brows, the way he purses his lips and you can tell something’s making him uncomfortable. Suddenly the thought makes you feel guilty.
“Javi, I’m sorry if I crossed a line—“
“You thought at brunch would be a good idea to rub your leg against me? With your friends and brother right next to you?”
You furrow your brows, even more taken aback. “Okay, not where I thought this conversation was headed,” you confess.
“Tell me.”
As much as you’d like to deny it or pretend like it doesn’t affect you, Javier’s demeanor is getting through to you in ways you wouldn’t have thought possible; the way he’s being so adamant about his request, his voice low and husky—
“I thought it would be fun, yes,” you shamelessly admit.
“You gotta stop it because otherwise I might excuse us again and fuck you in that bathroom.”
Speechless, you stare at him, mouth ajar and heart pounding in your ears. You find yourself incapable of saying anything for the next few seconds, and even more shocking, you find yourself seriously debating Javier’s words.
“Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about it,” he says.
“Don’t tell me you’re not,” you chuckle.
Javier huffs, frustrated to the point of taking his own words into consideration.
Except he is trying really hard not to be that kind of man and be more respectful and wary.
“Gotta be honest, I thought you were gonna be upset about me saying you have nightmares,” you mutter.
“No, I’m upset because you were rubbing up against me with your brother right next to you, and I can’t keep going like this. So either you tell him about us, or I do.”
You stare at him incredulously. “Wait, seriously? You wanna tell him?”
“I need a clear conscience. And I really need it so next time I fuck you, I won’t feel so guilty.”
You chuckle, stroking his arm. You’re fully aware that the gesture hasn’t gone unnoticed by the four people who are most likely still staring at you two, but all of a sudden, you no longer care. Javier is right; just as he doesn’t want to deny or hide it anymore, neither do you.
So when you return to the table, the perfect comeback is hatched from your brain.
“Sorry about that,” you smile, turning straight to Steven.
“What’s going on?”
“As I was saying, do you know how I know all of those things about Javier?”
“Don’t say it.”
“I’ve been spending the nights at his place. Every night for like three months now.”
Connie and Sylvie are the only ones smiling, except the latter is sipping from her cup of coffee with utmost interest.
“Three months?” Steven repeats. “So you chose to sleep with my best friend to what? To prove a point, to—to laugh in my face?”
“Neither. Actually, it did start as a way to get back at you. But as it turns out, he’s great in the sack.”
“As advertised,” Javier adds.
“And you wanted to skip brunch today,” Sylvie whispers to Zach, who’s watching the exchange as speechless as Connie.
“Don’t—“Steve shakes his head.
“Oh yeah, he’s fantastic. Knows his way around a woman’s body better than she knows it. I’m talking about waves and waves of endless pleasure.”
“I think I’m gonna throw up.”
“Actually, I think I might too. We haven’t really been careful, you know? It’s been a lot of sweaty, rough and yet so passionate—“
“Okay, stop! Why are you being like this? Both of you!”
You exchange a glare with Javier, both of you smiling at each other.
“Like what? Wild, unhinged?”
“Kind of, yes!”
“The way you’ve been treating me since I was 15? Which I haven’t been in years, by the way.”
“Please tell me you were using some form of birth control though.”
“Ew, shut up! Would you calm down already? We’re both responsible adults, we know what to do. Besides, we’re not just sleeping together. We’re going on dates and spending time together and… we like each other.”
“We’re not just fooling around,” Javier adds, unable to look away from you. “I’m in love with her.”
You stare back at him, ignoring Connie’s soft oh my God in your vicinity, even Sylvie’s I fuckin’ knew it towards Zach.
“Javi, it’s okay, you don’t have to—“
“I love her, Steve. And I did keep my promise to not fool around with her. What I can do is promise to keep her safe and treat her with respect and care.”
It dawns on you that this is the first time you’ve heard Javier say those words, and realizing he also hasn’t said them since his last real relationship. It’s a huge milestone in both your lives, and the fact that Javier chose this moment to confess makes you realize how much he must care about you.
“It’s true,” you add. “I—I love him too. I have for quite some time.”
“I fuckin’ told you,” Sylvie smiles. “I told you, and I knew sooner or later—“
“Not now, Syl.”
“Right, sorry. Continue.”
“Honey?” Connie presses her hand to Steve’s shoulder. “Don’t you wanna say something to them?”
“I’m really sorry, guys. I never wanted to… to treat you this way, to push you even further, sis. I guess I was just afraid that what Colombia did to me and Javier would be too much for you to handle. I know Connie got overwhelmed at some point. Rightfully so. But after all, I had her to come home to. Javier was… alone, and burying his problems in alcohol, cigarettes and random women. Relationships were out of question for him, and I saw what Colombia did to him overall, what all of that did to him. I didn’t want any of that for you. I obviously want you both to be happy, that’s all I’ve ever wanted. And I see you guys now being so happy with each other… it makes me happy.”
“We’re sorry we didn’t tell you earlier,” Javier says. “I guess we needed some time to figure things out ourselves.”
“Doesn’t matter now. Point is, I know my sister, she’s an amazing woman, and I—I missed the angle where that might be something good for Javier. Which it clearly is. And clearly he was full of shit when he said you’re not his type.”
“Just out of curiosity,” you intervene, “what exactly is Javier’s type?”
“The usual sexy, sultry woman.”
You raise your brows, to which Steve panics. “Not that you’re not! I mean, not that I think you as my sister are sexy… okay, this is weird, let’s move on.”
“Yeah, let’s.”
“I meant, you’re more the next door girl kind of woman, I suppose, and Javier usually went for the ‘right in your face sexy’ kind of a woman.”
“Relax, I know. I’m just teasing you.”
“Yeah, it’s what you do best.”
Everyone laughs, with Connie affectionately rubbing Steve’s arm.
“But listen, as glad as I am that we are talking about this and being open and mature about it, please do be safe, okay?” Steve says, and you make a face. “Also I know this goes without saying, probably—hopefully—but please don’t have a baby just to spite me.”
“Steven—“
“Please, I’ve learned my lesson, I swear. I promise I’ll be good! I’ll stay out of your relationship, just don’t—“
“Steven!”
“I’m not totally ready to be an uncle. I need to mentally prepare myself for a baby that’s half Murphy, half Peña.”
You roll your eyes. “Would you relax? We are not there yet. We may never be there. I don’t know. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but for now we’re good the way we are. Plus he’s teaching me Spanish too.”
“Oh, that’s nice.”
“But don’t worry, we only do it when I get a full sentence right.”
Seeing the scandalized look on Steve’s face, you burst into laughter, and the rest follow suit.
“I’m kidding! Oh my God, it’s so fun messing with you.”
“Something is seriously wrong with you.”
You can’t help but share the laughter with the rest of the company, never quite managing to capture Javier’s eyes in your direction, not even on the way home. It only hits you the weight of the words that had been hastily, yet calculatedly, been spilled at the brunch table among friends and family once you get the inside of his apartment. You look around, finally allowing the day’s events to hit you, and then you turn to look at Javier, a warm smile gracing your face.
He confessed to everyone present that he loved you, standing up to your overly protective older brother.
“What’s going on?” Javier asks.
It somehow still surprises you that he’s able to capture the concern on your face, even when it’s not there. You’re not concerned this time around. Quite the opposite; you’ve never felt more at ease and more impressed by a partner. Granted, not that you had many serious relationships in the past, but this right now with Javier, it has so much potential to be something grand that it astounds you.
“About what you said before,” you start, your heart thrumming in your ears. “At brunch.”
Then it hits Javier as well. He inhales deeply, steadying himself.
“Right. So here’s the thing,” he clears his throat. “I’ve only ever said those words once before, and as we know, it didn’t end very well. Okay, in all fairness, it wasn’t paradise city from the beginning, it was more of a masked—that’s not the point. Anyway—“
You conceal a chuckle, staring at him with anticipation and a warmth that exceeds any expectation.
“I’ve only said those words once,” he resumes, “and I did mean it at the time. But I wasn’t really… in love when I said them. It didn’t feel like it should. But now, I think for the first time in my life, I feel those words the way they should feel. I thought I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t do relationships because I suck at them and there was never any time back in Colombia but… I think I just needed to find my match.”
You take his hand into yours. “Javi…”
“I’m serious. I’ve never met anyone so witty and funny, so—so badass. Frankly you could probably kick my ass and I’d be hella turned on.”
You don’t stifle the hearty laugh that escapes your mouth this time, and it triggers the same reaction out of Javier.
“The point I’m trying to make is… I meant what I said. I didn’t just say it to shut Steve up. I—I do love you. The best that I can, which I don’t think is near enough to what you deserve, but… I’m trying to do better, to—“
You cup his cheeks, kissing him tenderly. Javier blinks surprised at you, and his flustered face with his big brown eyes is so sweet it weakens your knees.
“You’re doing just fine, Javi,” you reassure him. “Are you kidding me? You’re so attentive and sweet and—and I love you too.”
Javier blinks in surprise again. Somehow it slipped right by him that you could reciprocate his feelings, hence why he’s rendered speechless for several seconds.
“What uh—I mean… you do?” he finally asks.
“I do. I love you. I should’ve said it sooner, I think, after you turned my story into a book. That’s… kind of when I knew. I guess I chickened out.”
“You chickened out? Why?”
You sigh. “Because… I never said the words before.”
“Wait, you never said ‘I love you’ to someone?”
You shake your head, slightly shuddering. “Well, you know my dating history and patterns, so none of those boys stuck around long enough for me to actually develop real feelings. And there was never any real connection between us. All we really had—“
“Ah, okay, I can—I can visualize what you had.”
“Aw, honey, are you jealous?”
“No. Just… not really a fan of picturing you have sweaty sex with some douchebag.”
“How about if I have some sweaty sex with a very good man?”
Though his interest visibly peaked, Javier still gulps at the notion of being referred to as “a very good man”. It’s the lie he’s told himself countless times back in Medellin and Cali and Bogota, and the same lie he operated under with the hope of excusing his horrid choices. But to hear now as something factual, something that someone as wonderful as you actually believes in…
“You could,” he finally says, stepping closer to you.
His hands roam around your waist, teasing from the small of your back; shivers run down your spine, prickling your skin.
“Is this how you were with the women back then?” you dare ask.
“Why the sudden interest?”
You shrug. “Not sudden. I’m a writer. Everyone has the potential to be an interesting character. Besides, I find the Javier stories fascinating.”
“That so?”
“Mhm.”
“Well, that Javier isn’t really around. All he was good for was some fast and rough outlet for release and… not much more.”
“So I take it that dominant, needy Javier is gone?”
He raises his brows, chuckling at the way you’re sneakily handling him. A part of him still fears this power you hold over him, but a bigger part of him is thrilled even by the still of your hand, let alone the way you’re capable of handling him.
He’s never had that, he realizes; he’s never had a woman meet him right where he’s at, handle him like a pro and then some more, and he enjoys it far more than he would’ve expected.
“I meant gone as in… gone on a vacation, not dead.”
You smile, teasingly playing with the hem of his shirt.
“That what you need now?” Javier teases.
“I want whatever you’re comfortable with giving me.”
That’s what ultimately sets him off. So when he finally kisses you, it’s rugged, needy and asserting dominance, but there’s also something very tender in the way Javier is holding you, pulling you into his body. Javier’s sole focus right now is exposing more of you to him, feeling you as close as humanly possible; therefore, he doesn’t tell you just how affected he is by your choice of words. He doesn’t tell you that this is the weakest, yet strongest he’s ever felt. If someone were to ask him how he feels, he’d easily reply “disgustingly happy”, words which he never used before.
He doesn’t tell you any of this; he lets actions speak louder. Calloused fingers, accustomed to manhandling and roughhousing, caress and cup your ass. With each passing second, the kiss you share deepens further, his pulse quickens and his jeans become more and more constricted. Never mind that it’s the middle of the day, in broad daylight; Javier wants—needs—to marvel at every inch of you, exactly as it is.
“Whatever you want from me,” he tells you through a shuddering breath as he slowly undresses you, “it’s yours. Anything.”
Javier surprises himself at how malleable he finds himself to be, caught under your spell, but he does not care one bit. When you look into his eyes and see his blown out pupils, you know he means it. You feel his words to be true.
You smile as you close your eyes and pull him in for another hasty kiss, stumbling your way to the bed. Javier strips you slowly, stealing kisses down your body while a breath catches in your throat. The sun shines right through the big windows on this crisp fall day, so there’s nothing to hide. It’s only when Javier’s hands finally pull down your panties and expose you to him that you notice you’re facing the mirror hanging from the wall of his bedroom. You shiver and on cue, Javier’s hungry eyes look up to meet yours. He smirks—because of course he does, son of a bitch.
“It’s a great view, isn’t it?” he murmurs, tentatively licking a stripe up your pussy.
His eyes don’t leave you when you sneak another glance at the mirror: it’s not huge, but big enough to fit your naked body and Javier’s head right between your legs. No good words cross your mind, even if your mind is in overdrive, begging your mouth to release some form of verbal speech. Your knees buckle and your heart beats rapidly when Javier takes his first taste. It feels like the first time he’s ever done this, though it’s really old news by this point. Recently you thought Javier’s existence is limited to one place and one place alone, and that is in between your legs, based on how much he loves spending time down there—whether he’s snug inside you or eating you out.
“Watch how gorgeous you are when you come on my tongue,” you hear Javier’s voice, lustful and dark.
“Presumptuous, aren’t we?”
You laugh a little, but it quickly fades when you feel two digits moving slowly in and out of you, a tongue collecting the slick gathered in your most sensitive spot. His nose nudges your clit, his whole mouth is seemingly buried in your pussy, and all you can do is moan helplessly, let one of your hands grab a handful of his hair and keep your eyes locked on the way your body curves and aches at his mercy. God, he’s so needy, so eager to please you and to give you orgasms; almost like this is his purpose in this world.
“Does it feel good?” you hear his husky voice.
His fingers feel like they’re splitting you open while you nearly fall apart in his mouth, and at the same time it’s not enough. It drives you insane.
You nod frantically, locked in the same trance of watching yourself getting ate out by Javier.
“With words, señorita.”
Oh fuck. You hadn’t expected that, certainly not the reaction it triggers out of you.
“Yes,” you exhale. “It feels so, so good, Javi.”
“Good. Touch yourself.”
Though your mind is in a haze, you’re able to follow his instruction. Your hand bolts to your clit, rubbing in circling motions. That, paired with his fingers pumping in and out of you and his mouth like a hot furnace devouring your pussy, it doesn’t take that much longer to get you to where you desperately need. Seeing you like this, being able to make you feel this way, it’s all getting to Javier too; he’s gotten so hard by this point it’s borderline masochistic how much pain he’s voluntarily taking in, so he unconsciously starts to rub against the edge of the bed. The friction is so good, but nowhere near enough. It’ll have to do for now, he thinks. He needs to get you off first.
A moan is harshly ripped from the back of your throat, your legs jerk and nearly trap Javier between them as pleasure jolts throughout your body. It’s electric, overwhelming, and simply unmatched. It’s too much all at once, to look in the mirror and see how painfully needy you are for this man, how beautifully fucked out you look in at this very moment. You notice his hips, desperately humping the bed, unbeknownst even to himself.
Javier pulls out his fingers, only his tongue remaining on your overly sensitive area, the strokes of it now gentler. You tug on his hair to make him attentive, and when he looks up, you see his face contorted in a mixture of delight, pleasure and neediness. And just like that, your body aches again, only this time for something more.
“Ah fuck,” Javier groans in his fast attempt to dispose of his clothes. “Didn’t notice I was—“
He sighs right as you smile, taking in the sight of a naked Javier, all in broad daylight for you to savor. He’s so hard now it almost pains you, so when you make a motion to get to him and stroke him, Javier nearly swats your hand away.
“Why not?” you ask with a pout.
“Because it’s gonna be a fucking miracle if I last more than a few seconds and I wanna be inside you when we come.”
You raise your brows. “We?”
“What did I tell you in the beginning that you’ll always have from me?”
“At least two orgasms.”
“I live up to my words.”
He’s wrapped the condom around his cock, now crawling in between your legs, the place he has claimed as his own and by far the most incredible place he’s ever resided in. He’s done this plenty of times before now, it’s nothing new; and yet, this very moment which reeks of anticipation and desire, this single moment in time when his hand is curled around his cock, guiding himself to your already soaked entrance, Javier wishes he could freeze it, keep it to himself forever.
When he slides right at home, deep inside you, you both moan in tandem. And it is the most damnable, beguiling and intoxicating sensation he’s ever known.
Probably because you’re not just another girl passing through his life and his bed. You’re not another random face or a number to the list of women he’s been with.
You’re the woman he loves, the woman he’d take a bullet for if he had to, the woman he’d move mountains for.
“Javi?”
You have this ability to bring him back with his feet to the ground whenever he tends to wander off, and Javier is nothing if not grateful for it, particularly now.
“Can you move? Please?” you plead and it’s so sweet he could come just from that.
Javier chuckles, the sound resembling that of a madman—and he supposes he is one, in a sense.
“Keep lookin’,” he instructs, a little bit of his Texan roots slipping in his tone as he starts to roll his hips. “Want you to watch how good you take me. How—beautiful you are when you take me.”
The grip you have over his shoulders tightens as his hips pick up a moderate pace, pounding into you with a mixture of greed and love. The more he sinks into you, whispering sweet nothings and giving the occasional order, the more you feel pressure building inside your belly. You do as he says, watching your body writhing beneath his in the mirror, and you shudder. His back covers a lot of the frame, so you mostly notice him from behind, pounding into you, and your nearly limp body underneath, taking him as he is giving himself to you.
The sensation of having him atop of you is stellar, something almost like it was meant for you and you alone; Javier’s stealing the occasional kiss from you, his hips more erratic with each additional thrust and his mouth whispering that he’s so close, so fucking close.
“D’you see?” he manages to get out through a wicked smile. “See how—how fuckin’ good you look hmm?”
“Yes—yes, I see it—“
“Mhm—good girl. My good fuckin’ girl.”
Javier loses any train of thought, be it rational or not, and when his orgasm finally hits, it’s all too much and too sudden, and when he can’t stop cussing or thrusting furiously into you, you cup his cheeks and tell him a simple “I love you”.
And he lets go, almost violently.
He’s struggling to catch his breath when he feels you spasming around him, and there’s pride to be felt even when he’s dumbfounded that you came almost at the same time.
“I’m sorry,” he says, and you make a face at him trying to regulate his breaths. “I was kinda hoping… I’d last longer.”
You kiss him sweetly, gently, still feeling him ache inside of you. “It’s the sexiest thing,” you murmur.
“Having the endurance of a teenage boy?”
“No, the idea that someone needs you this desperately they can’t hold themselves in one piece. I love that. And I love you.”
Javier pecks your lips. “I don’t think I’ll get used to you saying that.”
“You should.”
“I love you too.”
You stay snugged up like that for who knows how long, while the sun rays beam down on your naked bodies. And then it starts to get dark, and you’re on Javier’s lap, slowly riding him and kissing him, aiming for nothing in particular but intimacy.

series masterlist | AO3
There’s loud screams all around him. Smoke, screams, and the unmistakable scent of death and despair, all around him.
Someone’s screaming for him. Saying his name on a loop. Javier, Javier, Javier. Followed by Javi. Then a toe-curling help me and please, and then—silence.
A silence so loud his ears are ringing and pouring blood.
Except when he looks around him, there’s blood everywhere.
Blood, mass destruction, and an impending sense of doom that no matter how far he runs, no matter what lies he tells, it never leaves him. It is then, in that very second as he’s looking down at the bloodied and bruised face of a woman he once thought he could be with and save, Javier realizes that sense of doom will never leave him. He will remain forever locked in its harsh and cold grip, forever followed by the inevitable shame and guilt, doomed to drown in them.
“I’m sorry,” he mutters. “’m sorry—I’m—I couldn’t—“
“Javi. Hey. It’s okay. Can you hear me? Javi. It’s me.”
His name on a loop, pronounced so carefully and sincerely, so rich with care and an almost soul-crushing sweetness, awakens him at long last. He’s disoriented as he looks around, his temples and forehead dripping with sweat. There’s a hand gently resting on his chest, steadying his heartbeat, and it’s then that Javier’s eyes come into focus and they see your face. And then slowly the realization that he’s no longer in Colombia, no longer surrounded by pain, comes into focus as well, and that he’s in his bed, next to the most wonderful woman he’s ever known.
“Are you alright?” you ask, gently rubbing his chest through the t-shirt.
“Yeah. I’m definitely better now.”
He cracks a reassuring smile and so do you.
“Nightmare?” you ask next.
Javier nods, rather hesitantly. “I was back in Colombia. In Bogota.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Upon noticing the hesitation on his face, you’re quick to add, “It’s okay if you don’t want to though. I don’t have to know everything about your past.”
Something about that feels oddly endearing; Javier hasn’t met anyone who has been as kind and understanding as you and for every genuine word you throw at him, for every gentle caress of his hand or his cheek, he feels his chest impossibly lighter, as if all the pain he has been carrying with him for the past few years is beginning to wear off at long last.
Though his tongue aches for verbal release, Javier isn’t certain that he wants to burden you with the horrors he had witnessed and done in Colombia. You are far too tame to handle such harsh realities, even if you clearly expect the truth and nothing but it.
“I did things I’m not proud of,” he lets out in a coarser than expected voice. “Terrible things. Either for information or out of… helplessness or desperation.”
You don’t say anything; you adjust your position so that you face him clearer, even in the darkness, and let him continue.
“I’m no saint, by no means. I guess sometimes I thought my actions were justified because the end result would be good. But it rarely ever was.”
And before he knows it, Javier is telling you the chapter of his life which he deemed closed some time ago, from start to finish: he tells you about him and Steve and how they worked together; he tells you about working with the most gruesome group in all of Colombia in order to get to Pablo Escobar; he tells you about Helena and how he cared about her and how he got her traumatized simply because he pushed her too much for information; he tells you of all the people he threatened, shot, of all the plans he made and failed, how he got the so-called promotion in Cali and how it meant that Steve was the one who ended Escobar eventually. By the end of it, it’s nearly morning and you’re cuddled at his chest, listening to him breathe and caressing his cheek.
“I appreciate you opening up about this,” you murmur. “I know it can’t possibly be easy.”
“It is. It feels easier with you.”
You smile, chastely kissing his lips. Javier’s chest rises and falls with each additional shaky breath he takes as he forces his mind to collaborate with his mouth in order to get out those pesky three words that have been pressing on his conscience for weeks now. Yet the way you kiss him tenderly and sweetly, as if to reassure him that he’s safe and sound from any harm in this world, it shuts him up real good.
His mother once told him that when he’ll meet someone special, he’ll know it and he’ll know just what to say and when. He was still a kid at the time and he dismissed his mother’s words, but now he feels them to be truer than ever.
“So if we were in Colombia,” you say suddenly as a smirk graces your lips, “would I be one of your girls?”
Javier turns to you, faintly amused. He cocks an eyebrow at you, his interest visibly peaked.
“What?”
“Would I be one of many girls that fall at Javier Peña’s feet? One of the lucky ones who get to go to bed with him?”
Something aches inside Javier as you pose that question. It’s a playful one and while you have no ill intentions behind it, it dawns on Javier that the idea repulses him on a certain level. The idea of you being just another pretty face to add to that seemingly endless list of conquests, another forgettable name on there… he doesn’t want that.
Especially not when the reality could not be more farther from the truth.
“No,” he responds, shifting closer to you and removing a strand of hair from your face. “No, absolutely not.”
You smile, somewhat confused. “Why not?”
“Because you’re—better. You’re—you’re everything, you—“
His heart starts pounding, his throat feels beyond dry and it feels as if there is a huge ball of fire in his chest, waiting to burst at the slightest movement.
“I—what?”
Tell her. Tell her now.
Tell her you fucking coward!
“We should get some rest,” Javier mutters, stroking your hair and coaxing you into his arms so that you fall asleep as soon as possible. Once you do, he finally exhales, still burdened and haunted, but much more secure in his decision to finally come clean to you tomorrow, no matter what.
Except that when tomorrow comes, Javier receives an unexpected invitation.
“You free in about two hours?” Steve’s voice asks through the phone, and Javier gulps out of instinct.
“Yeah, think so. Why?”
“How would you feel about having brunch with me and Connie?”
He falters, and it’s as if Steve can sense the hesitation on his part because he’s quick to add, “Hopefully my sister’s gonna be there too. Also Sylvie and her boyfriend Zack, they’re coming too. You know, my sister’s friends.”
“Right, yeah, I think she mentioned them at some point.”
“Yeah. I thought a nice friendly meal would do us all good. What do you say?”
Javier meets your face from the corner of his eye and notices the question written all over it. He shakes his head briefly, a little “I’ll handle this for us” sign, and resumes his conversation with Steve.
“Sounds nice, I’m in,” he tells Steve.
“Great. Just gotta call my sister now. Or hope to get in touch with her at least.”
“Just call her, I’m sure it’s gonna be fine.”
The moment he hangs up, he stares at you with the same guilty face he’s been having whenever Steve’s been around lately.
“You need to go to your apartment,” he tells you in a grim voice.
You frown. “Are you kicking me out?”
Javier makes a face. “No, of course not. But you need to go to your apartment because your brother’s gonna call you and you need to answer the phone.”
“I could be sleeping in. It’s Sunday, after all. I could’ve been out last night. Hell, I could’ve been with somebody. Maybe I was with Dean and we—“
“Okay, stop.”
You try not to smile seeing the bothered look on Javier’s face. Instead, you inch closer to him and wrap your arms around his neck.
“Aw, honey, are you jealous of Dean?” you peck his lips.
“I think we’ve already established that I was. But not anymore. I’ve got you, and he can go suck a lemon for all I care.”
You scoff, kissing him again, utterly enjoying the sensation of Javier simply melting into your arms, into the kiss you share.
“You really should stop with this because if you don’t, we’re gonna be stuck in here for the rest of the day, spent and sweaty,” Javier warns, to which you cock an eyebrow at him.
“Okay, so what did my brother want?”
“He invited us to brunch.”
“Us?”
“Well, me. And he should be calling you any moment, so if you could go to your apartment and answer the phone, I’d really appreciate that.”
“But I could be—“
“Please. For me?”
You roll your eyes, sighing. “Fine. You’re lucky I’m sweet on you.”
Javier presses a kiss to your cheek, stroking your hand.
“But we need to set up some ground rules for this brunch,” he tells you sternly.
“Rules? For what?”
“We said we’re not gonna tell Steve about us until we’re ready, and we’re not really there yet, so no sitting together, no touching, no looking at each other unless absolutely necessary.”
“Don’t you think that makes it more suspicious?”
“Hopefully not.”
You chuckle. “For someone who used to be a bad boy, you sure like setting down rules.”
“I’m just saying—okay, just—just go upstairs.”
“Ooh, yes, sir.”
He knows you’re joking; he knows you’re teasing him, especially in that falsely impressed and sultry tone of voice, and yet a part of him still twitches at the thought of you being so willing, so malleable and needy for him.
It’s a thought that will never leave his mind—or his body.
Tumblr media
The little bistro Steve chose—aka claims, because everyone knows Connie is the one who actually picked it—for the brunch is quite cozy: floral arrangements adorn the outside windows, little lights hang from the walls on the inside, and plenty of people buzzing and chatting, completely immersed in their conversations.
If he were honest, Javier preferred if the two of you showed up at this brunch separately—although in hindsight, that would probably raise more questions instead of burying them for good. But he still has a knot in his throat even when you assure him that nobody’s going to bat an eyelash and that they will all think you coming together here was nothing more but an act of convenience.
“I’m telling you, it’s fine,” you sneakily squeeze Javier’s hand. “Could you at least try to look less constipated? Just—you know, for at least an hour or two.”
Javier frowns at you, taking a deep breath and taking one last, long look at you, as if he’s trying to memorize every single detail about you. You crack a smile.
“It’s going to be fine,” you reassure him. “You care far more about Steven’s opinion than I do. I don’t care if he finds out.”
“I kind of do.”
“I know you do. And it’s so sweet. But so what if he finds out? I mean… what’s he gonna uncover? That his little sister is in the healthiest and best relationship she’s ever had?”
“With his friend and partner whom he particularly asked not to fool around with his little sister.”
“Javi, we’re not just fooling around.” After a pause, you continue somewhat concerned. “Are we?”
“No, absolutely not.”
“Then you shouldn’t worry this much.”
It’s quite astounding how fast you’re capable of calming Javier down with minimal effort. But it works, and when the two of you enter the place and take your seats at the table, greeted by the rest of the party, Javier breathes a little easier. He avoids Steve’s eyes as he shakes hands with Zach and Sylvie, guilt weighing on his conscience like the heaviest boulder. He tries his best in remembering your words that this isn’t about Steve, it’s about the two of you and your newfound happiness, but alas, he remains just a little bit stiff throughout brunch as conversation starts flowing between all of you.
On the brighter side, Javier smiles to himself seeing you and Steve engaged in conversation, laughing with each other. You’re sitting side by side to your brother, which means Javier is right in front of you and gets to notice the two of you mending your relationship.
Then he thinks again of how hopelessly in love he feels with you, how he has been for the past several weeks, if not more, and how it’s all happening behind Steve’s back. Maybe you were right, though; maybe it wouldn’t be so bad for Steve to find out at last. He’d find out that his little sister is happy, and that his best friend is content, at peace.
Would that be so bad?
And then he feels your foot rubbing against his, sneaking its way up, just in the slightest; he inhales a sharp breath, giving you a death stare, and he gets his answer.
Maybe it would be so bad.
“I hear you finished writing your book?” Sylvie asks you, redirecting Javier’s attention to the subject matter.
“I did,” you proudly say. “I need to do the final editing, run it by someone, but I’m pretty confident it’ll be out by next year. At least that’s the hope.”
“That’s so damn cool,” Zach says in between mouthfuls.
“Truly amazing,” Connie adds.
“I’m so proud of you.”
Everyone turns to look at Steve, who’s got the brightest smile on his face and his glass raised up. They all follow suit with the gesture, toasting your accomplishment as you stare at your big brother.
“Really, I am,” Steve goes on. “I’ve always been. Always thought you’re amazing. Much cooler than me.”
“By miles.”
The table laughs.
“But it dawned on me that I never really told you this. So… I want you to know that I am very proud of you, every day. And I love you.”
“Thank you. And I love you too.”
“Here, here!”
 The conversation begins to flow easily afterwards: Connie shares Olivia’s latest endeavors and how she started walking; Zach and Sylvie talk about their relationship and how it is to live together, to which you make a tasteful joke about her pretending to still live with you as well and how you and Zach basically share Sylvie; then Steve talks about work and how he enjoys it, being similar and yet different than what he used to do in Colombia. Javier remains silent during this portion, sipping on his black coffee and pretending not to feel your leg sliding up his.
“What about you, Javier?” Sylvie asks.
“What about me what?”
“How do you like it at the precinct?”
“It’s okay.”
You eye him briefly, affectionately rubbing your leg on his shin, concealing a smile as you see him squirm in his seat.
“Javi’s having a bit of a tough time adjusting,” Steve intervenes.
“It’s police work. It’s what I know, and it’s what I do.”
“It’s what gives you nightmares.”
Everyone at the table turns towards you, the same surprised look on all of their faces. You shrug, ignoring Javier’s deadly stare.
“And you know this how?” Steve asks reticently.
“By talking. By asking and by actually getting to know people, Steven.”
“Let’s move on, shall we?” Javier suggests.
“What do you mean?” Steve resumes, focusing solely on you. “I know people, I talk to them.”
You take a deep breath, maintaining a neutral tone even if your pulse increases rapidly.
“You refer to Javier as your best friend, but besides work, how much do you really talk to each other?”
“We talk.”
“Sometimes too much if you ask me,” Javier adds.
“Point is, he is my best friend.”
“Really? Did you know that he has night terrors? Not nightmares, terrors. And not every night, but he has ‘em. He mumbles and groans in his sleep, sometimes cries or even screams. He apologizes over and over to dead people, to you and to Connie.”
“Oh, Javi…” Connie mumbles.
“Do you know how I know this?”
There’s a lightbulb moment happening inside Steve’s head, and it is perfectly legible on his face as he stares at you, then at Javier, who gulps. Steve says your name, still processing, and it is only then that Javier stands up abruptly, his eyes shooting right at you.
“Can I talk to you for a minute? All the way over there?”
You raise your eyebrows, quite surprised, but nod and follow Javier all the way to the buffet table. You notice the little crease between his brows, the way he purses his lips and you can tell something’s making him uncomfortable. Suddenly the thought makes you feel guilty.
“Javi, I’m sorry if I crossed a line—“
“You thought at brunch would be a good idea to rub your leg against me? With your friends and brother right next to you?”
You furrow your brows, even more taken aback. “Okay, not where I thought this conversation was headed,” you confess.
“Tell me.”
As much as you’d like to deny it or pretend like it doesn’t affect you, Javier’s demeanor is getting through to you in ways you wouldn’t have thought possible; the way he’s being so adamant about his request, his voice low and husky—
“I thought it would be fun, yes,” you shamelessly admit.
“You gotta stop it because otherwise I might excuse us again and fuck you in that bathroom.”
Speechless, you stare at him, mouth ajar and heart pounding in your ears. You find yourself incapable of saying anything for the next few seconds, and even more shocking, you find yourself seriously debating Javier’s words.
“Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about it,” he says.
“Don’t tell me you’re not,” you chuckle.
Javier huffs, frustrated to the point of taking his own words into consideration.
Except he is trying really hard not to be that kind of man and be more respectful and wary.
“Gotta be honest, I thought you were gonna be upset about me saying you have nightmares,” you mutter.
“No, I’m upset because you were rubbing up against me with your brother right next to you, and I can’t keep going like this. So either you tell him about us, or I do.”
You stare at him incredulously. “Wait, seriously? You wanna tell him?”
“I need a clear conscience. And I really need it so next time I fuck you, I won’t feel so guilty.”
You chuckle, stroking his arm. You’re fully aware that the gesture hasn’t gone unnoticed by the four people who are most likely still staring at you two, but all of a sudden, you no longer care. Javier is right; just as he doesn’t want to deny or hide it anymore, neither do you.
So when you return to the table, the perfect comeback is hatched from your brain.
“Sorry about that,” you smile, turning straight to Steven.
“What’s going on?”
“As I was saying, do you know how I know all of those things about Javier?”
“Don’t say it.”
“I’ve been spending the nights at his place. Every night for like three months now.”
Connie and Sylvie are the only ones smiling, except the latter is sipping from her cup of coffee with utmost interest.
“Three months?” Steven repeats. “So you chose to sleep with my best friend to what? To prove a point, to—to laugh in my face?”
“Neither. Actually, it did start as a way to get back at you. But as it turns out, he’s great in the sack.”
“As advertised,” Javier adds.
“And you wanted to skip brunch today,” Sylvie whispers to Zach, who’s watching the exchange as speechless as Connie.
“Don’t—“Steve shakes his head.
“Oh yeah, he’s fantastic. Knows his way around a woman’s body better than she knows it. I’m talking about waves and waves of endless pleasure.”
“I think I’m gonna throw up.”
“Actually, I think I might too. We haven’t really been careful, you know? It’s been a lot of sweaty, rough and yet so passionate—“
“Okay, stop! Why are you being like this? Both of you!”
You exchange a glare with Javier, both of you smiling at each other.
“Like what? Wild, unhinged?”
“Kind of, yes!”
“The way you’ve been treating me since I was 15? Which I haven’t been in years, by the way.”
“Please tell me you were using some form of birth control though.”
“Ew, shut up! Would you calm down already? We’re both responsible adults, we know what to do. Besides, we’re not just sleeping together. We’re going on dates and spending time together and… we like each other.”
“We’re not just fooling around,” Javier adds, unable to look away from you. “I’m in love with her.”
You stare back at him, ignoring Connie’s soft oh my God in your vicinity, even Sylvie’s I fuckin’ knew it towards Zach.
“Javi, it’s okay, you don’t have to—“
“I love her, Steve. And I did keep my promise to not fool around with her. What I can do is promise to keep her safe and treat her with respect and care.”
It dawns on you that this is the first time you’ve heard Javier say those words, and realizing he also hasn’t said them since his last real relationship. It’s a huge milestone in both your lives, and the fact that Javier chose this moment to confess makes you realize how much he must care about you.
“It’s true,” you add. “I—I love him too. I have for quite some time.”
“I fuckin’ told you,” Sylvie smiles. “I told you, and I knew sooner or later—“
“Not now, Syl.”
“Right, sorry. Continue.”
“Honey?” Connie presses her hand to Steve’s shoulder. “Don’t you wanna say something to them?”
“I’m really sorry, guys. I never wanted to… to treat you this way, to push you even further, sis. I guess I was just afraid that what Colombia did to me and Javier would be too much for you to handle. I know Connie got overwhelmed at some point. Rightfully so. But after all, I had her to come home to. Javier was… alone, and burying his problems in alcohol, cigarettes and random women. Relationships were out of question for him, and I saw what Colombia did to him overall, what all of that did to him. I didn’t want any of that for you. I obviously want you both to be happy, that’s all I’ve ever wanted. And I see you guys now being so happy with each other… it makes me happy.”
“We’re sorry we didn’t tell you earlier,” Javier says. “I guess we needed some time to figure things out ourselves.”
“Doesn’t matter now. Point is, I know my sister, she’s an amazing woman, and I—I missed the angle where that might be something good for Javier. Which it clearly is. And clearly he was full of shit when he said you’re not his type.”
“Just out of curiosity,” you intervene, “what exactly is Javier’s type?”
“The usual sexy, sultry woman.”
You raise your brows, to which Steve panics. “Not that you’re not! I mean, not that I think you as my sister are sexy… okay, this is weird, let’s move on.”
“Yeah, let’s.”
“I meant, you’re more the next door girl kind of woman, I suppose, and Javier usually went for the ‘right in your face sexy’ kind of a woman.”
“Relax, I know. I’m just teasing you.”
“Yeah, it’s what you do best.”
Everyone laughs, with Connie affectionately rubbing Steve’s arm.
“But listen, as glad as I am that we are talking about this and being open and mature about it, please do be safe, okay?” Steve says, and you make a face. “Also I know this goes without saying, probably—hopefully—but please don’t have a baby just to spite me.”
“Steven—“
“Please, I’ve learned my lesson, I swear. I promise I’ll be good! I’ll stay out of your relationship, just don’t—“
“Steven!”
“I’m not totally ready to be an uncle. I need to mentally prepare myself for a baby that’s half Murphy, half Peña.”
You roll your eyes. “Would you relax? We are not there yet. We may never be there. I don’t know. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but for now we’re good the way we are. Plus he’s teaching me Spanish too.”
“Oh, that’s nice.”
“But don’t worry, we only do it when I get a full sentence right.”
Seeing the scandalized look on Steve’s face, you burst into laughter, and the rest follow suit.
“I’m kidding! Oh my God, it’s so fun messing with you.”
“Something is seriously wrong with you.”
You can’t help but share the laughter with the rest of the company, never quite managing to capture Javier’s eyes in your direction, not even on the way home. It only hits you the weight of the words that had been hastily, yet calculatedly, been spilled at the brunch table among friends and family once you get the inside of his apartment. You look around, finally allowing the day’s events to hit you, and then you turn to look at Javier, a warm smile gracing your face.
He confessed to everyone present that he loved you, standing up to your overly protective older brother.
“What’s going on?” Javier asks.
It somehow still surprises you that he’s able to capture the concern on your face, even when it’s not there. You’re not concerned this time around. Quite the opposite; you’ve never felt more at ease and more impressed by a partner. Granted, not that you had many serious relationships in the past, but this right now with Javier, it has so much potential to be something grand that it astounds you.
“About what you said before,” you start, your heart thrumming in your ears. “At brunch.”
Then it hits Javier as well. He inhales deeply, steadying himself.
“Right. So here’s the thing,” he clears his throat. “I’ve only ever said those words once before, and as we know, it didn’t end very well. Okay, in all fairness, it wasn’t paradise city from the beginning, it was more of a masked—that’s not the point. Anyway—“
You conceal a chuckle, staring at him with anticipation and a warmth that exceeds any expectation.
“I’ve only said those words once,” he resumes, “and I did mean it at the time. But I wasn’t really… in love when I said them. It didn’t feel like it should. But now, I think for the first time in my life, I feel those words the way they should feel. I thought I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t do relationships because I suck at them and there was never any time back in Colombia but… I think I just needed to find my match.”
You take his hand into yours. “Javi…”
“I’m serious. I’ve never met anyone so witty and funny, so—so badass. Frankly you could probably kick my ass and I’d be hella turned on.”
You don’t stifle the hearty laugh that escapes your mouth this time, and it triggers the same reaction out of Javier.
“The point I’m trying to make is… I meant what I said. I didn’t just say it to shut Steve up. I—I do love you. The best that I can, which I don’t think is near enough to what you deserve, but… I’m trying to do better, to—“
You cup his cheeks, kissing him tenderly. Javier blinks surprised at you, and his flustered face with his big brown eyes is so sweet it weakens your knees.
“You’re doing just fine, Javi,” you reassure him. “Are you kidding me? You’re so attentive and sweet and—and I love you too.”
Javier blinks in surprise again. Somehow it slipped right by him that you could reciprocate his feelings, hence why he’s rendered speechless for several seconds.
“What uh—I mean… you do?” he finally asks.
“I do. I love you. I should’ve said it sooner, I think, after you turned my story into a book. That’s… kind of when I knew. I guess I chickened out.”
“You chickened out? Why?”
You sigh. “Because… I never said the words before.”
“Wait, you never said ‘I love you’ to someone?”
You shake your head, slightly shuddering. “Well, you know my dating history and patterns, so none of those boys stuck around long enough for me to actually develop real feelings. And there was never any real connection between us. All we really had—“
“Ah, okay, I can—I can visualize what you had.”
“Aw, honey, are you jealous?”
“No. Just… not really a fan of picturing you have sweaty sex with some douchebag.”
“How about if I have some sweaty sex with a very good man?”
Though his interest visibly peaked, Javier still gulps at the notion of being referred to as “a very good man”. It’s the lie he’s told himself countless times back in Medellin and Cali and Bogota, and the same lie he operated under with the hope of excusing his horrid choices. But to hear now as something factual, something that someone as wonderful as you actually believes in…
“You could,” he finally says, stepping closer to you.
His hands roam around your waist, teasing from the small of your back; shivers run down your spine, prickling your skin.
“Is this how you were with the women back then?” you dare ask.
“Why the sudden interest?”
You shrug. “Not sudden. I’m a writer. Everyone has the potential to be an interesting character. Besides, I find the Javier stories fascinating.”
“That so?”
“Mhm.”
“Well, that Javier isn’t really around. All he was good for was some fast and rough outlet for release and… not much more.”
“So I take it that dominant, needy Javier is gone?”
He raises his brows, chuckling at the way you’re sneakily handling him. A part of him still fears this power you hold over him, but a bigger part of him is thrilled even by the still of your hand, let alone the way you’re capable of handling him.
He’s never had that, he realizes; he’s never had a woman meet him right where he’s at, handle him like a pro and then some more, and he enjoys it far more than he would’ve expected.
“I meant gone as in… gone on a vacation, not dead.”
You smile, teasingly playing with the hem of his shirt.
“That what you need now?” Javier teases.
“I want whatever you’re comfortable with giving me.”
That’s what ultimately sets him off. So when he finally kisses you, it’s rugged, needy and asserting dominance, but there’s also something very tender in the way Javier is holding you, pulling you into his body. Javier’s sole focus right now is exposing more of you to him, feeling you as close as humanly possible; therefore, he doesn’t tell you just how affected he is by your choice of words. He doesn’t tell you that this is the weakest, yet strongest he’s ever felt. If someone were to ask him how he feels, he’d easily reply “disgustingly happy”, words which he never used before.
He doesn’t tell you any of this; he lets actions speak louder. Calloused fingers, accustomed to manhandling and roughhousing, caress and cup your ass. With each passing second, the kiss you share deepens further, his pulse quickens and his jeans become more and more constricted. Never mind that it’s the middle of the day, in broad daylight; Javier wants—needs—to marvel at every inch of you, exactly as it is.
“Whatever you want from me,” he tells you through a shuddering breath as he slowly undresses you, “it’s yours. Anything.”
Javier surprises himself at how malleable he finds himself to be, caught under your spell, but he does not care one bit. When you look into his eyes and see his blown out pupils, you know he means it. You feel his words to be true.
You smile as you close your eyes and pull him in for another hasty kiss, stumbling your way to the bed. Javier strips you slowly, stealing kisses down your body while a breath catches in your throat. The sun shines right through the big windows on this crisp fall day, so there’s nothing to hide. It’s only when Javier’s hands finally pull down your panties and expose you to him that you notice you’re facing the mirror hanging from the wall of his bedroom. You shiver and on cue, Javier’s hungry eyes look up to meet yours. He smirks—because of course he does, son of a bitch.
“It’s a great view, isn’t it?” he murmurs, tentatively licking a stripe up your pussy.
His eyes don’t leave you when you sneak another glance at the mirror: it’s not huge, but big enough to fit your naked body and Javier’s head right between your legs. No good words cross your mind, even if your mind is in overdrive, begging your mouth to release some form of verbal speech. Your knees buckle and your heart beats rapidly when Javier takes his first taste. It feels like the first time he’s ever done this, though it’s really old news by this point. Recently you thought Javier’s existence is limited to one place and one place alone, and that is in between your legs, based on how much he loves spending time down there—whether he’s snug inside you or eating you out.
“Watch how gorgeous you are when you come on my tongue,” you hear Javier’s voice, lustful and dark.
“Presumptuous, aren’t we?”
You laugh a little, but it quickly fades when you feel two digits moving slowly in and out of you, a tongue collecting the slick gathered in your most sensitive spot. His nose nudges your clit, his whole mouth is seemingly buried in your pussy, and all you can do is moan helplessly, let one of your hands grab a handful of his hair and keep your eyes locked on the way your body curves and aches at his mercy. God, he’s so needy, so eager to please you and to give you orgasms; almost like this is his purpose in this world.
“Does it feel good?” you hear his husky voice.
His fingers feel like they’re splitting you open while you nearly fall apart in his mouth, and at the same time it’s not enough. It drives you insane.
You nod frantically, locked in the same trance of watching yourself getting ate out by Javier.
“With words, señorita.”
Oh fuck. You hadn’t expected that, certainly not the reaction it triggers out of you.
“Yes,” you exhale. “It feels so, so good, Javi.”
“Good. Touch yourself.”
Though your mind is in a haze, you’re able to follow his instruction. Your hand bolts to your clit, rubbing in circling motions. That, paired with his fingers pumping in and out of you and his mouth like a hot furnace devouring your pussy, it doesn’t take that much longer to get you to where you desperately need. Seeing you like this, being able to make you feel this way, it’s all getting to Javier too; he’s gotten so hard by this point it’s borderline masochistic how much pain he’s voluntarily taking in, so he unconsciously starts to rub against the edge of the bed. The friction is so good, but nowhere near enough. It’ll have to do for now, he thinks. He needs to get you off first.
A moan is harshly ripped from the back of your throat, your legs jerk and nearly trap Javier between them as pleasure jolts throughout your body. It’s electric, overwhelming, and simply unmatched. It’s too much all at once, to look in the mirror and see how painfully needy you are for this man, how beautifully fucked out you look in at this very moment. You notice his hips, desperately humping the bed, unbeknownst even to himself.
Javier pulls out his fingers, only his tongue remaining on your overly sensitive area, the strokes of it now gentler. You tug on his hair to make him attentive, and when he looks up, you see his face contorted in a mixture of delight, pleasure and neediness. And just like that, your body aches again, only this time for something more.
“Ah fuck,” Javier groans in his fast attempt to dispose of his clothes. “Didn’t notice I was—“
He sighs right as you smile, taking in the sight of a naked Javier, all in broad daylight for you to savor. He’s so hard now it almost pains you, so when you make a motion to get to him and stroke him, Javier nearly swats your hand away.
“Why not?” you ask with a pout.
“Because it’s gonna be a fucking miracle if I last more than a few seconds and I wanna be inside you when we come.”
You raise your brows. “We?”
“What did I tell you in the beginning that you’ll always have from me?”
“At least two orgasms.”
“I live up to my words.”
He’s wrapped the condom around his cock, now crawling in between your legs, the place he has claimed as his own and by far the most incredible place he’s ever resided in. He’s done this plenty of times before now, it’s nothing new; and yet, this very moment which reeks of anticipation and desire, this single moment in time when his hand is curled around his cock, guiding himself to your already soaked entrance, Javier wishes he could freeze it, keep it to himself forever.
When he slides right at home, deep inside you, you both moan in tandem. And it is the most damnable, beguiling and intoxicating sensation he’s ever known.
Probably because you’re not just another girl passing through his life and his bed. You’re not another random face or a number to the list of women he’s been with.
You’re the woman he loves, the woman he’d take a bullet for if he had to, the woman he’d move mountains for.
“Javi?”
You have this ability to bring him back with his feet to the ground whenever he tends to wander off, and Javier is nothing if not grateful for it, particularly now.
“Can you move? Please?” you plead and it’s so sweet he could come just from that.
Javier chuckles, the sound resembling that of a madman—and he supposes he is one, in a sense.
“Keep lookin’,” he instructs, a little bit of his Texan roots slipping in his tone as he starts to roll his hips. “Want you to watch how good you take me. How—beautiful you are when you take me.”
The grip you have over his shoulders tightens as his hips pick up a moderate pace, pounding into you with a mixture of greed and love. The more he sinks into you, whispering sweet nothings and giving the occasional order, the more you feel pressure building inside your belly. You do as he says, watching your body writhing beneath his in the mirror, and you shudder. His back covers a lot of the frame, so you mostly notice him from behind, pounding into you, and your nearly limp body underneath, taking him as he is giving himself to you.
The sensation of having him atop of you is stellar, something almost like it was meant for you and you alone; Javier’s stealing the occasional kiss from you, his hips more erratic with each additional thrust and his mouth whispering that he’s so close, so fucking close.
“D’you see?” he manages to get out through a wicked smile. “See how—how fuckin’ good you look hmm?”
“Yes—yes, I see it—“
“Mhm—good girl. My good fuckin’ girl.”
Javier loses any train of thought, be it rational or not, and when his orgasm finally hits, it’s all too much and too sudden, and when he can’t stop cussing or thrusting furiously into you, you cup his cheeks and tell him a simple “I love you”.
And he lets go, almost violently.
He’s struggling to catch his breath when he feels you spasming around him, and there’s pride to be felt even when he’s dumbfounded that you came almost at the same time.
“I’m sorry,” he says, and you make a face at him trying to regulate his breaths. “I was kinda hoping… I’d last longer.”
You kiss him sweetly, gently, still feeling him ache inside of you. “It’s the sexiest thing,” you murmur.
“Having the endurance of a teenage boy?”
“No, the idea that someone needs you this desperately they can’t hold themselves in one piece. I love that. And I love you.”
Javier pecks your lips. “I don’t think I’ll get used to you saying that.”
“You should.”
“I love you too.”
You stay snugged up like that for who knows how long, while the sun rays beam down on your naked bodies. And then it starts to get dark, and you’re on Javier’s lap, slowly riding him and kissing him, aiming for nothing in particular but intimacy.

series masterlist | AO3
There’s loud screams all around him. Smoke, screams, and the unmistakable scent of death and despair, all around him.
Someone’s screaming for him. Saying his name on a loop. Javier, Javier, Javier. Followed by Javi. Then a toe-curling help me and please, and then—silence.
A silence so loud his ears are ringing and pouring blood.
Except when he looks around him, there’s blood everywhere.
Blood, mass destruction, and an impending sense of doom that no matter how far he runs, no matter what lies he tells, it never leaves him. It is then, in that very second as he’s looking down at the bloodied and bruised face of a woman he once thought he could be with and save, Javier realizes that sense of doom will never leave him. He will remain forever locked in its harsh and cold grip, forever followed by the inevitable shame and guilt, doomed to drown in them.
“I’m sorry,” he mutters. “’m sorry—I’m—I couldn’t—“
“Javi. Hey. It’s okay. Can you hear me? Javi. It’s me.”
His name on a loop, pronounced so carefully and sincerely, so rich with care and an almost soul-crushing sweetness, awakens him at long last. He’s disoriented as he looks around, his temples and forehead dripping with sweat. There’s a hand gently resting on his chest, steadying his heartbeat, and it’s then that Javier’s eyes come into focus and they see your face. And then slowly the realization that he’s no longer in Colombia, no longer surrounded by pain, comes into focus as well, and that he’s in his bed, next to the most wonderful woman he’s ever known.
“Are you alright?” you ask, gently rubbing his chest through the t-shirt.
“Yeah. I’m definitely better now.”
He cracks a reassuring smile and so do you.
“Nightmare?” you ask next.
Javier nods, rather hesitantly. “I was back in Colombia. In Bogota.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Upon noticing the hesitation on his face, you’re quick to add, “It’s okay if you don’t want to though. I don’t have to know everything about your past.”
Something about that feels oddly endearing; Javier hasn’t met anyone who has been as kind and understanding as you and for every genuine word you throw at him, for every gentle caress of his hand or his cheek, he feels his chest impossibly lighter, as if all the pain he has been carrying with him for the past few years is beginning to wear off at long last.
Though his tongue aches for verbal release, Javier isn’t certain that he wants to burden you with the horrors he had witnessed and done in Colombia. You are far too tame to handle such harsh realities, even if you clearly expect the truth and nothing but it.
“I did things I’m not proud of,” he lets out in a coarser than expected voice. “Terrible things. Either for information or out of… helplessness or desperation.”
You don’t say anything; you adjust your position so that you face him clearer, even in the darkness, and let him continue.
“I’m no saint, by no means. I guess sometimes I thought my actions were justified because the end result would be good. But it rarely ever was.”
And before he knows it, Javier is telling you the chapter of his life which he deemed closed some time ago, from start to finish: he tells you about him and Steve and how they worked together; he tells you about working with the most gruesome group in all of Colombia in order to get to Pablo Escobar; he tells you about Helena and how he cared about her and how he got her traumatized simply because he pushed her too much for information; he tells you of all the people he threatened, shot, of all the plans he made and failed, how he got the so-called promotion in Cali and how it meant that Steve was the one who ended Escobar eventually. By the end of it, it’s nearly morning and you’re cuddled at his chest, listening to him breathe and caressing his cheek.
“I appreciate you opening up about this,” you murmur. “I know it can’t possibly be easy.”
“It is. It feels easier with you.”
You smile, chastely kissing his lips. Javier’s chest rises and falls with each additional shaky breath he takes as he forces his mind to collaborate with his mouth in order to get out those pesky three words that have been pressing on his conscience for weeks now. Yet the way you kiss him tenderly and sweetly, as if to reassure him that he’s safe and sound from any harm in this world, it shuts him up real good.
His mother once told him that when he’ll meet someone special, he’ll know it and he’ll know just what to say and when. He was still a kid at the time and he dismissed his mother’s words, but now he feels them to be truer than ever.
“So if we were in Colombia,” you say suddenly as a smirk graces your lips, “would I be one of your girls?”
Javier turns to you, faintly amused. He cocks an eyebrow at you, his interest visibly peaked.
“What?”
“Would I be one of many girls that fall at Javier Peña’s feet? One of the lucky ones who get to go to bed with him?”
Something aches inside Javier as you pose that question. It’s a playful one and while you have no ill intentions behind it, it dawns on Javier that the idea repulses him on a certain level. The idea of you being just another pretty face to add to that seemingly endless list of conquests, another forgettable name on there… he doesn’t want that.
Especially not when the reality could not be more farther from the truth.
“No,” he responds, shifting closer to you and removing a strand of hair from your face. “No, absolutely not.”
You smile, somewhat confused. “Why not?”
“Because you’re—better. You’re—you’re everything, you—“
His heart starts pounding, his throat feels beyond dry and it feels as if there is a huge ball of fire in his chest, waiting to burst at the slightest movement.
“I—what?”
Tell her. Tell her now.
Tell her you fucking coward!
“We should get some rest,” Javier mutters, stroking your hair and coaxing you into his arms so that you fall asleep as soon as possible. Once you do, he finally exhales, still burdened and haunted, but much more secure in his decision to finally come clean to you tomorrow, no matter what.
Except that when tomorrow comes, Javier receives an unexpected invitation.
“You free in about two hours?” Steve’s voice asks through the phone, and Javier gulps out of instinct.
“Yeah, think so. Why?”
“How would you feel about having brunch with me and Connie?”
He falters, and it’s as if Steve can sense the hesitation on his part because he’s quick to add, “Hopefully my sister’s gonna be there too. Also Sylvie and her boyfriend Zack, they’re coming too. You know, my sister’s friends.”
“Right, yeah, I think she mentioned them at some point.”
“Yeah. I thought a nice friendly meal would do us all good. What do you say?”
Javier meets your face from the corner of his eye and notices the question written all over it. He shakes his head briefly, a little “I’ll handle this for us” sign, and resumes his conversation with Steve.
“Sounds nice, I’m in,” he tells Steve.
“Great. Just gotta call my sister now. Or hope to get in touch with her at least.”
“Just call her, I’m sure it’s gonna be fine.”
The moment he hangs up, he stares at you with the same guilty face he’s been having whenever Steve’s been around lately.
“You need to go to your apartment,” he tells you in a grim voice.
You frown. “Are you kicking me out?”
Javier makes a face. “No, of course not. But you need to go to your apartment because your brother’s gonna call you and you need to answer the phone.”
“I could be sleeping in. It’s Sunday, after all. I could’ve been out last night. Hell, I could’ve been with somebody. Maybe I was with Dean and we—“
“Okay, stop.”
You try not to smile seeing the bothered look on Javier’s face. Instead, you inch closer to him and wrap your arms around his neck.
“Aw, honey, are you jealous of Dean?” you peck his lips.
“I think we’ve already established that I was. But not anymore. I’ve got you, and he can go suck a lemon for all I care.”
You scoff, kissing him again, utterly enjoying the sensation of Javier simply melting into your arms, into the kiss you share.
“You really should stop with this because if you don’t, we’re gonna be stuck in here for the rest of the day, spent and sweaty,” Javier warns, to which you cock an eyebrow at him.
“Okay, so what did my brother want?”
“He invited us to brunch.”
“Us?”
“Well, me. And he should be calling you any moment, so if you could go to your apartment and answer the phone, I’d really appreciate that.”
“But I could be—“
“Please. For me?”
You roll your eyes, sighing. “Fine. You’re lucky I’m sweet on you.”
Javier presses a kiss to your cheek, stroking your hand.
“But we need to set up some ground rules for this brunch,” he tells you sternly.
“Rules? For what?”
“We said we’re not gonna tell Steve about us until we’re ready, and we’re not really there yet, so no sitting together, no touching, no looking at each other unless absolutely necessary.”
“Don’t you think that makes it more suspicious?”
“Hopefully not.”
You chuckle. “For someone who used to be a bad boy, you sure like setting down rules.”
“I’m just saying—okay, just—just go upstairs.”
“Ooh, yes, sir.”
He knows you’re joking; he knows you’re teasing him, especially in that falsely impressed and sultry tone of voice, and yet a part of him still twitches at the thought of you being so willing, so malleable and needy for him.
It’s a thought that will never leave his mind—or his body.
Tumblr media
The little bistro Steve chose—aka claims, because everyone knows Connie is the one who actually picked it—for the brunch is quite cozy: floral arrangements adorn the outside windows, little lights hang from the walls on the inside, and plenty of people buzzing and chatting, completely immersed in their conversations.
If he were honest, Javier preferred if the two of you showed up at this brunch separately—although in hindsight, that would probably raise more questions instead of burying them for good. But he still has a knot in his throat even when you assure him that nobody’s going to bat an eyelash and that they will all think you coming together here was nothing more but an act of convenience.
“I’m telling you, it’s fine,” you sneakily squeeze Javier’s hand. “Could you at least try to look less constipated? Just—you know, for at least an hour or two.”
Javier frowns at you, taking a deep breath and taking one last, long look at you, as if he’s trying to memorize every single detail about you. You crack a smile.
“It’s going to be fine,” you reassure him. “You care far more about Steven’s opinion than I do. I don’t care if he finds out.”
“I kind of do.”
“I know you do. And it’s so sweet. But so what if he finds out? I mean… what’s he gonna uncover? That his little sister is in the healthiest and best relationship she’s ever had?”
“With his friend and partner whom he particularly asked not to fool around with his little sister.”
“Javi, we’re not just fooling around.” After a pause, you continue somewhat concerned. “Are we?”
“No, absolutely not.”
“Then you shouldn’t worry this much.”
It’s quite astounding how fast you’re capable of calming Javier down with minimal effort. But it works, and when the two of you enter the place and take your seats at the table, greeted by the rest of the party, Javier breathes a little easier. He avoids Steve’s eyes as he shakes hands with Zach and Sylvie, guilt weighing on his conscience like the heaviest boulder. He tries his best in remembering your words that this isn’t about Steve, it’s about the two of you and your newfound happiness, but alas, he remains just a little bit stiff throughout brunch as conversation starts flowing between all of you.
On the brighter side, Javier smiles to himself seeing you and Steve engaged in conversation, laughing with each other. You’re sitting side by side to your brother, which means Javier is right in front of you and gets to notice the two of you mending your relationship.
Then he thinks again of how hopelessly in love he feels with you, how he has been for the past several weeks, if not more, and how it’s all happening behind Steve’s back. Maybe you were right, though; maybe it wouldn’t be so bad for Steve to find out at last. He’d find out that his little sister is happy, and that his best friend is content, at peace.
Would that be so bad?
And then he feels your foot rubbing against his, sneaking its way up, just in the slightest; he inhales a sharp breath, giving you a death stare, and he gets his answer.
Maybe it would be so bad.
“I hear you finished writing your book?” Sylvie asks you, redirecting Javier’s attention to the subject matter.
“I did,” you proudly say. “I need to do the final editing, run it by someone, but I’m pretty confident it’ll be out by next year. At least that’s the hope.”
“That’s so damn cool,” Zach says in between mouthfuls.
“Truly amazing,” Connie adds.
“I’m so proud of you.”
Everyone turns to look at Steve, who’s got the brightest smile on his face and his glass raised up. They all follow suit with the gesture, toasting your accomplishment as you stare at your big brother.
“Really, I am,” Steve goes on. “I’ve always been. Always thought you’re amazing. Much cooler than me.”
“By miles.”
The table laughs.
“But it dawned on me that I never really told you this. So… I want you to know that I am very proud of you, every day. And I love you.”
“Thank you. And I love you too.”
“Here, here!”
 The conversation begins to flow easily afterwards: Connie shares Olivia’s latest endeavors and how she started walking; Zach and Sylvie talk about their relationship and how it is to live together, to which you make a tasteful joke about her pretending to still live with you as well and how you and Zach basically share Sylvie; then Steve talks about work and how he enjoys it, being similar and yet different than what he used to do in Colombia. Javier remains silent during this portion, sipping on his black coffee and pretending not to feel your leg sliding up his.
“What about you, Javier?” Sylvie asks.
“What about me what?”
“How do you like it at the precinct?”
“It’s okay.”
You eye him briefly, affectionately rubbing your leg on his shin, concealing a smile as you see him squirm in his seat.
“Javi’s having a bit of a tough time adjusting,” Steve intervenes.
“It’s police work. It’s what I know, and it’s what I do.”
“It’s what gives you nightmares.”
Everyone at the table turns towards you, the same surprised look on all of their faces. You shrug, ignoring Javier’s deadly stare.
“And you know this how?” Steve asks reticently.
“By talking. By asking and by actually getting to know people, Steven.”
“Let’s move on, shall we?” Javier suggests.
“What do you mean?” Steve resumes, focusing solely on you. “I know people, I talk to them.”
You take a deep breath, maintaining a neutral tone even if your pulse increases rapidly.
“You refer to Javier as your best friend, but besides work, how much do you really talk to each other?”
“We talk.”
“Sometimes too much if you ask me,” Javier adds.
“Point is, he is my best friend.”
“Really? Did you know that he has night terrors? Not nightmares, terrors. And not every night, but he has ‘em. He mumbles and groans in his sleep, sometimes cries or even screams. He apologizes over and over to dead people, to you and to Connie.”
“Oh, Javi…” Connie mumbles.
“Do you know how I know this?”
There’s a lightbulb moment happening inside Steve’s head, and it is perfectly legible on his face as he stares at you, then at Javier, who gulps. Steve says your name, still processing, and it is only then that Javier stands up abruptly, his eyes shooting right at you.
“Can I talk to you for a minute? All the way over there?”
You raise your eyebrows, quite surprised, but nod and follow Javier all the way to the buffet table. You notice the little crease between his brows, the way he purses his lips and you can tell something’s making him uncomfortable. Suddenly the thought makes you feel guilty.
“Javi, I’m sorry if I crossed a line—“
“You thought at brunch would be a good idea to rub your leg against me? With your friends and brother right next to you?”
You furrow your brows, even more taken aback. “Okay, not where I thought this conversation was headed,” you confess.
“Tell me.”
As much as you’d like to deny it or pretend like it doesn’t affect you, Javier’s demeanor is getting through to you in ways you wouldn’t have thought possible; the way he’s being so adamant about his request, his voice low and husky—
“I thought it would be fun, yes,” you shamelessly admit.
“You gotta stop it because otherwise I might excuse us again and fuck you in that bathroom.”
Speechless, you stare at him, mouth ajar and heart pounding in your ears. You find yourself incapable of saying anything for the next few seconds, and even more shocking, you find yourself seriously debating Javier’s words.
“Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about it,” he says.
“Don’t tell me you’re not,” you chuckle.
Javier huffs, frustrated to the point of taking his own words into consideration.
Except he is trying really hard not to be that kind of man and be more respectful and wary.
“Gotta be honest, I thought you were gonna be upset about me saying you have nightmares,” you mutter.
“No, I’m upset because you were rubbing up against me with your brother right next to you, and I can’t keep going like this. So either you tell him about us, or I do.”
You stare at him incredulously. “Wait, seriously? You wanna tell him?”
“I need a clear conscience. And I really need it so next time I fuck you, I won’t feel so guilty.”
You chuckle, stroking his arm. You’re fully aware that the gesture hasn’t gone unnoticed by the four people who are most likely still staring at you two, but all of a sudden, you no longer care. Javier is right; just as he doesn’t want to deny or hide it anymore, neither do you.
So when you return to the table, the perfect comeback is hatched from your brain.
“Sorry about that,” you smile, turning straight to Steven.
“What’s going on?”
“As I was saying, do you know how I know all of those things about Javier?”
“Don’t say it.”
“I’ve been spending the nights at his place. Every night for like three months now.”
Connie and Sylvie are the only ones smiling, except the latter is sipping from her cup of coffee with utmost interest.
“Three months?” Steven repeats. “So you chose to sleep with my best friend to what? To prove a point, to—to laugh in my face?”
“Neither. Actually, it did start as a way to get back at you. But as it turns out, he’s great in the sack.”
“As advertised,” Javier adds.
“And you wanted to skip brunch today,” Sylvie whispers to Zach, who’s watching the exchange as speechless as Connie.
“Don’t—“Steve shakes his head.
“Oh yeah, he’s fantastic. Knows his way around a woman’s body better than she knows it. I’m talking about waves and waves of endless pleasure.”
“I think I’m gonna throw up.”
“Actually, I think I might too. We haven’t really been careful, you know? It’s been a lot of sweaty, rough and yet so passionate—“
“Okay, stop! Why are you being like this? Both of you!”
You exchange a glare with Javier, both of you smiling at each other.
“Like what? Wild, unhinged?”
“Kind of, yes!”
“The way you’ve been treating me since I was 15? Which I haven’t been in years, by the way.”
“Please tell me you were using some form of birth control though.”
“Ew, shut up! Would you calm down already? We’re both responsible adults, we know what to do. Besides, we’re not just sleeping together. We’re going on dates and spending time together and… we like each other.”
“We’re not just fooling around,” Javier adds, unable to look away from you. “I’m in love with her.”
You stare back at him, ignoring Connie’s soft oh my God in your vicinity, even Sylvie’s I fuckin’ knew it towards Zach.
“Javi, it’s okay, you don’t have to—“
“I love her, Steve. And I did keep my promise to not fool around with her. What I can do is promise to keep her safe and treat her with respect and care.”
It dawns on you that this is the first time you’ve heard Javier say those words, and realizing he also hasn’t said them since his last real relationship. It’s a huge milestone in both your lives, and the fact that Javier chose this moment to confess makes you realize how much he must care about you.
“It’s true,” you add. “I—I love him too. I have for quite some time.”
“I fuckin’ told you,” Sylvie smiles. “I told you, and I knew sooner or later—“
“Not now, Syl.”
“Right, sorry. Continue.”
“Honey?” Connie presses her hand to Steve’s shoulder. “Don’t you wanna say something to them?”
“I’m really sorry, guys. I never wanted to… to treat you this way, to push you even further, sis. I guess I was just afraid that what Colombia did to me and Javier would be too much for you to handle. I know Connie got overwhelmed at some point. Rightfully so. But after all, I had her to come home to. Javier was… alone, and burying his problems in alcohol, cigarettes and random women. Relationships were out of question for him, and I saw what Colombia did to him overall, what all of that did to him. I didn’t want any of that for you. I obviously want you both to be happy, that’s all I’ve ever wanted. And I see you guys now being so happy with each other… it makes me happy.”
“We’re sorry we didn’t tell you earlier,” Javier says. “I guess we needed some time to figure things out ourselves.”
“Doesn’t matter now. Point is, I know my sister, she’s an amazing woman, and I—I missed the angle where that might be something good for Javier. Which it clearly is. And clearly he was full of shit when he said you’re not his type.”
“Just out of curiosity,” you intervene, “what exactly is Javier’s type?”
“The usual sexy, sultry woman.”
You raise your brows, to which Steve panics. “Not that you’re not! I mean, not that I think you as my sister are sexy… okay, this is weird, let’s move on.”
“Yeah, let’s.”
“I meant, you’re more the next door girl kind of woman, I suppose, and Javier usually went for the ‘right in your face sexy’ kind of a woman.”
“Relax, I know. I’m just teasing you.”
“Yeah, it’s what you do best.”
Everyone laughs, with Connie affectionately rubbing Steve’s arm.
“But listen, as glad as I am that we are talking about this and being open and mature about it, please do be safe, okay?” Steve says, and you make a face. “Also I know this goes without saying, probably—hopefully—but please don’t have a baby just to spite me.”
“Steven—“
“Please, I’ve learned my lesson, I swear. I promise I’ll be good! I’ll stay out of your relationship, just don’t—“
“Steven!”
“I’m not totally ready to be an uncle. I need to mentally prepare myself for a baby that’s half Murphy, half Peña.”
You roll your eyes. “Would you relax? We are not there yet. We may never be there. I don’t know. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but for now we’re good the way we are. Plus he’s teaching me Spanish too.”
“Oh, that’s nice.”
“But don’t worry, we only do it when I get a full sentence right.”
Seeing the scandalized look on Steve’s face, you burst into laughter, and the rest follow suit.
“I’m kidding! Oh my God, it’s so fun messing with you.”
“Something is seriously wrong with you.”
You can’t help but share the laughter with the rest of the company, never quite managing to capture Javier’s eyes in your direction, not even on the way home. It only hits you the weight of the words that had been hastily, yet calculatedly, been spilled at the brunch table among friends and family once you get the inside of his apartment. You look around, finally allowing the day’s events to hit you, and then you turn to look at Javier, a warm smile gracing your face.
He confessed to everyone present that he loved you, standing up to your overly protective older brother.
“What’s going on?” Javier asks.
It somehow still surprises you that he’s able to capture the concern on your face, even when it’s not there. You’re not concerned this time around. Quite the opposite; you’ve never felt more at ease and more impressed by a partner. Granted, not that you had many serious relationships in the past, but this right now with Javier, it has so much potential to be something grand that it astounds you.
“About what you said before,” you start, your heart thrumming in your ears. “At brunch.”
Then it hits Javier as well. He inhales deeply, steadying himself.
“Right. So here’s the thing,” he clears his throat. “I’ve only ever said those words once before, and as we know, it didn’t end very well. Okay, in all fairness, it wasn’t paradise city from the beginning, it was more of a masked—that’s not the point. Anyway—“
You conceal a chuckle, staring at him with anticipation and a warmth that exceeds any expectation.
“I’ve only said those words once,” he resumes, “and I did mean it at the time. But I wasn’t really… in love when I said them. It didn’t feel like it should. But now, I think for the first time in my life, I feel those words the way they should feel. I thought I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t do relationships because I suck at them and there was never any time back in Colombia but… I think I just needed to find my match.”
You take his hand into yours. “Javi…”
“I’m serious. I’ve never met anyone so witty and funny, so—so badass. Frankly you could probably kick my ass and I’d be hella turned on.”
You don’t stifle the hearty laugh that escapes your mouth this time, and it triggers the same reaction out of Javier.
“The point I’m trying to make is… I meant what I said. I didn’t just say it to shut Steve up. I—I do love you. The best that I can, which I don’t think is near enough to what you deserve, but… I’m trying to do better, to—“
You cup his cheeks, kissing him tenderly. Javier blinks surprised at you, and his flustered face with his big brown eyes is so sweet it weakens your knees.
“You’re doing just fine, Javi,” you reassure him. “Are you kidding me? You’re so attentive and sweet and—and I love you too.”
Javier blinks in surprise again. Somehow it slipped right by him that you could reciprocate his feelings, hence why he’s rendered speechless for several seconds.
“What uh—I mean… you do?” he finally asks.
“I do. I love you. I should’ve said it sooner, I think, after you turned my story into a book. That’s… kind of when I knew. I guess I chickened out.”
“You chickened out? Why?”
You sigh. “Because… I never said the words before.”
“Wait, you never said ‘I love you’ to someone?”
You shake your head, slightly shuddering. “Well, you know my dating history and patterns, so none of those boys stuck around long enough for me to actually develop real feelings. And there was never any real connection between us. All we really had—“
“Ah, okay, I can—I can visualize what you had.”
“Aw, honey, are you jealous?”
“No. Just… not really a fan of picturing you have sweaty sex with some douchebag.”
“How about if I have some sweaty sex with a very good man?”
Though his interest visibly peaked, Javier still gulps at the notion of being referred to as “a very good man”. It’s the lie he’s told himself countless times back in Medellin and Cali and Bogota, and the same lie he operated under with the hope of excusing his horrid choices. But to hear now as something factual, something that someone as wonderful as you actually believes in…
“You could,” he finally says, stepping closer to you.
His hands roam around your waist, teasing from the small of your back; shivers run down your spine, prickling your skin.
“Is this how you were with the women back then?” you dare ask.
“Why the sudden interest?”
You shrug. “Not sudden. I’m a writer. Everyone has the potential to be an interesting character. Besides, I find the Javier stories fascinating.”
“That so?”
“Mhm.”
“Well, that Javier isn’t really around. All he was good for was some fast and rough outlet for release and… not much more.”
“So I take it that dominant, needy Javier is gone?”
He raises his brows, chuckling at the way you’re sneakily handling him. A part of him still fears this power you hold over him, but a bigger part of him is thrilled even by the still of your hand, let alone the way you’re capable of handling him.
He’s never had that, he realizes; he’s never had a woman meet him right where he’s at, handle him like a pro and then some more, and he enjoys it far more than he would’ve expected.
“I meant gone as in… gone on a vacation, not dead.”
You smile, teasingly playing with the hem of his shirt.
“That what you need now?” Javier teases.
“I want whatever you’re comfortable with giving me.”
That’s what ultimately sets him off. So when he finally kisses you, it’s rugged, needy and asserting dominance, but there’s also something very tender in the way Javier is holding you, pulling you into his body. Javier’s sole focus right now is exposing more of you to him, feeling you as close as humanly possible; therefore, he doesn’t tell you just how affected he is by your choice of words. He doesn’t tell you that this is the weakest, yet strongest he’s ever felt. If someone were to ask him how he feels, he’d easily reply “disgustingly happy”, words which he never used before.
He doesn’t tell you any of this; he lets actions speak louder. Calloused fingers, accustomed to manhandling and roughhousing, caress and cup your ass. With each passing second, the kiss you share deepens further, his pulse quickens and his jeans become more and more constricted. Never mind that it’s the middle of the day, in broad daylight; Javier wants—needs—to marvel at every inch of you, exactly as it is.
“Whatever you want from me,” he tells you through a shuddering breath as he slowly undresses you, “it’s yours. Anything.”
Javier surprises himself at how malleable he finds himself to be, caught under your spell, but he does not care one bit. When you look into his eyes and see his blown out pupils, you know he means it. You feel his words to be true.
You smile as you close your eyes and pull him in for another hasty kiss, stumbling your way to the bed. Javier strips you slowly, stealing kisses down your body while a breath catches in your throat. The sun shines right through the big windows on this crisp fall day, so there’s nothing to hide. It’s only when Javier’s hands finally pull down your panties and expose you to him that you notice you’re facing the mirror hanging from the wall of his bedroom. You shiver and on cue, Javier’s hungry eyes look up to meet yours. He smirks—because of course he does, son of a bitch.
“It’s a great view, isn’t it?” he murmurs, tentatively licking a stripe up your pussy.
His eyes don’t leave you when you sneak another glance at the mirror: it’s not huge, but big enough to fit your naked body and Javier’s head right between your legs. No good words cross your mind, even if your mind is in overdrive, begging your mouth to release some form of verbal speech. Your knees buckle and your heart beats rapidly when Javier takes his first taste. It feels like the first time he’s ever done this, though it’s really old news by this point. Recently you thought Javier’s existence is limited to one place and one place alone, and that is in between your legs, based on how much he loves spending time down there—whether he’s snug inside you or eating you out.
“Watch how gorgeous you are when you come on my tongue,” you hear Javier’s voice, lustful and dark.
“Presumptuous, aren’t we?”
You laugh a little, but it quickly fades when you feel two digits moving slowly in and out of you, a tongue collecting the slick gathered in your most sensitive spot. His nose nudges your clit, his whole mouth is seemingly buried in your pussy, and all you can do is moan helplessly, let one of your hands grab a handful of his hair and keep your eyes locked on the way your body curves and aches at his mercy. God, he’s so needy, so eager to please you and to give you orgasms; almost like this is his purpose in this world.
“Does it feel good?” you hear his husky voice.
His fingers feel like they’re splitting you open while you nearly fall apart in his mouth, and at the same time it’s not enough. It drives you insane.
You nod frantically, locked in the same trance of watching yourself getting ate out by Javier.
“With words, señorita.”
Oh fuck. You hadn’t expected that, certainly not the reaction it triggers out of you.
“Yes,” you exhale. “It feels so, so good, Javi.”
“Good. Touch yourself.”
Though your mind is in a haze, you’re able to follow his instruction. Your hand bolts to your clit, rubbing in circling motions. That, paired with his fingers pumping in and out of you and his mouth like a hot furnace devouring your pussy, it doesn’t take that much longer to get you to where you desperately need. Seeing you like this, being able to make you feel this way, it’s all getting to Javier too; he’s gotten so hard by this point it’s borderline masochistic how much pain he’s voluntarily taking in, so he unconsciously starts to rub against the edge of the bed. The friction is so good, but nowhere near enough. It’ll have to do for now, he thinks. He needs to get you off first.
A moan is harshly ripped from the back of your throat, your legs jerk and nearly trap Javier between them as pleasure jolts throughout your body. It’s electric, overwhelming, and simply unmatched. It’s too much all at once, to look in the mirror and see how painfully needy you are for this man, how beautifully fucked out you look in at this very moment. You notice his hips, desperately humping the bed, unbeknownst even to himself.
Javier pulls out his fingers, only his tongue remaining on your overly sensitive area, the strokes of it now gentler. You tug on his hair to make him attentive, and when he looks up, you see his face contorted in a mixture of delight, pleasure and neediness. And just like that, your body aches again, only this time for something more.
“Ah fuck,” Javier groans in his fast attempt to dispose of his clothes. “Didn’t notice I was—“
He sighs right as you smile, taking in the sight of a naked Javier, all in broad daylight for you to savor. He’s so hard now it almost pains you, so when you make a motion to get to him and stroke him, Javier nearly swats your hand away.
“Why not?” you ask with a pout.
“Because it’s gonna be a fucking miracle if I last more than a few seconds and I wanna be inside you when we come.”
You raise your brows. “We?”
“What did I tell you in the beginning that you’ll always have from me?”
“At least two orgasms.”
“I live up to my words.”
He’s wrapped the condom around his cock, now crawling in between your legs, the place he has claimed as his own and by far the most incredible place he’s ever resided in. He’s done this plenty of times before now, it’s nothing new; and yet, this very moment which reeks of anticipation and desire, this single moment in time when his hand is curled around his cock, guiding himself to your already soaked entrance, Javier wishes he could freeze it, keep it to himself forever.
When he slides right at home, deep inside you, you both moan in tandem. And it is the most damnable, beguiling and intoxicating sensation he’s ever known.
Probably because you’re not just another girl passing through his life and his bed. You’re not another random face or a number to the list of women he’s been with.
You’re the woman he loves, the woman he’d take a bullet for if he had to, the woman he’d move mountains for.
“Javi?”
You have this ability to bring him back with his feet to the ground whenever he tends to wander off, and Javier is nothing if not grateful for it, particularly now.
“Can you move? Please?” you plead and it’s so sweet he could come just from that.
Javier chuckles, the sound resembling that of a madman—and he supposes he is one, in a sense.
“Keep lookin’,” he instructs, a little bit of his Texan roots slipping in his tone as he starts to roll his hips. “Want you to watch how good you take me. How—beautiful you are when you take me.”
The grip you have over his shoulders tightens as his hips pick up a moderate pace, pounding into you with a mixture of greed and love. The more he sinks into you, whispering sweet nothings and giving the occasional order, the more you feel pressure building inside your belly. You do as he says, watching your body writhing beneath his in the mirror, and you shudder. His back covers a lot of the frame, so you mostly notice him from behind, pounding into you, and your nearly limp body underneath, taking him as he is giving himself to you.
The sensation of having him atop of you is stellar, something almost like it was meant for you and you alone; Javier’s stealing the occasional kiss from you, his hips more erratic with each additional thrust and his mouth whispering that he’s so close, so fucking close.
“D’you see?” he manages to get out through a wicked smile. “See how—how fuckin’ good you look hmm?”
“Yes—yes, I see it—“
“Mhm—good girl. My good fuckin’ girl.”
Javier loses any train of thought, be it rational or not, and when his orgasm finally hits, it’s all too much and too sudden, and when he can’t stop cussing or thrusting furiously into you, you cup his cheeks and tell him a simple “I love you”.
And he lets go, almost violently.
He’s struggling to catch his breath when he feels you spasming around him, and there’s pride to be felt even when he’s dumbfounded that you came almost at the same time.
“I’m sorry,” he says, and you make a face at him trying to regulate his breaths. “I was kinda hoping… I’d last longer.”
You kiss him sweetly, gently, still feeling him ache inside of you. “It’s the sexiest thing,” you murmur.
“Having the endurance of a teenage boy?”
“No, the idea that someone needs you this desperately they can’t hold themselves in one piece. I love that. And I love you.”
Javier pecks your lips. “I don’t think I’ll get used to you saying that.”
“You should.”
“I love you too.”
You stay snugged up like that for who knows how long, while the sun rays beam down on your naked bodies. And then it starts to get dark, and you’re on Javier’s lap, slowly riding him and kissing him, aiming for nothing in particular but intimacy.

Tumblr media
series masterlist | AO3
There’s loud screams all around him. Smoke, screams, and the unmistakable scent of death and despair, all around him.
Someone’s screaming for him. Saying his name on a loop. Javier, Javier, Javier. Followed by Javi. Then a toe-curling help me and please, and then—silence.
A silence so loud his ears are ringing and pouring blood.
Except when he looks around him, there’s blood everywhere.
Blood, mass destruction, and an impending sense of doom that no matter how far he runs, no matter what lies he tells, it never leaves him. It is then, in that very second as he’s looking down at the bloodied and bruised face of a woman he once thought he could be with and save, Javier realizes that sense of doom will never leave him. He will remain forever locked in its harsh and cold grip, forever followed by the inevitable shame and guilt, doomed to drown in them.
“I’m sorry,” he mutters. “’m sorry—I’m—I couldn’t—“
“Javi. Hey. It’s okay. Can you hear me? Javi. It’s me.”
His name on a loop, pronounced so carefully and sincerely, so rich with care and an almost soul-crushing sweetness, awakens him at long last. He’s disoriented as he looks around, his temples and forehead dripping with sweat. There’s a hand gently resting on his chest, steadying his heartbeat, and it’s then that Javier’s eyes come into focus and they see your face. And then slowly the realization that he’s no longer in Colombia, no longer surrounded by pain, comes into focus as well, and that he’s in his bed, next to the most wonderful woman he’s ever known.
“Are you alright?” you ask, gently rubbing his chest through the t-shirt.
“Yeah. I’m definitely better now.”
He cracks a reassuring smile and so do you.
“Nightmare?” you ask next.
Javier nods, rather hesitantly. “I was back in Colombia. In Bogota.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Upon noticing the hesitation on his face, you’re quick to add, “It’s okay if you don’t want to though. I don’t have to know everything about your past.”
Something about that feels oddly endearing; Javier hasn’t met anyone who has been as kind and understanding as you and for every genuine word you throw at him, for every gentle caress of his hand or his cheek, he feels his chest impossibly lighter, as if all the pain he has been carrying with him for the past few years is beginning to wear off at long last.
Though his tongue aches for verbal release, Javier isn’t certain that he wants to burden you with the horrors he had witnessed and done in Colombia. You are far too tame to handle such harsh realities, even if you clearly expect the truth and nothing but it.
“I did things I’m not proud of,” he lets out in a coarser than expected voice. “Terrible things. Either for information or out of… helplessness or desperation.”
You don’t say anything; you adjust your position so that you face him clearer, even in the darkness, and let him continue.
“I’m no saint, by no means. I guess sometimes I thought my actions were justified because the end result would be good. But it rarely ever was.”
And before he knows it, Javier is telling you the chapter of his life which he deemed closed some time ago, from start to finish: he tells you about him and Steve and how they worked together; he tells you about working with the most gruesome group in all of Colombia in order to get to Pablo Escobar; he tells you about Helena and how he cared about her and how he got her traumatized simply because he pushed her too much for information; he tells you of all the people he threatened, shot, of all the plans he made and failed, how he got the so-called promotion in Cali and how it meant that Steve was the one who ended Escobar eventually. By the end of it, it’s nearly morning and you’re cuddled at his chest, listening to him breathe and caressing his cheek.
“I appreciate you opening up about this,” you murmur. “I know it can’t possibly be easy.”
“It is. It feels easier with you.”
You smile, chastely kissing his lips. Javier’s chest rises and falls with each additional shaky breath he takes as he forces his mind to collaborate with his mouth in order to get out those pesky three words that have been pressing on his conscience for weeks now. Yet the way you kiss him tenderly and sweetly, as if to reassure him that he’s safe and sound from any harm in this world, it shuts him up real good.
His mother once told him that when he’ll meet someone special, he’ll know it and he’ll know just what to say and when. He was still a kid at the time and he dismissed his mother’s words, but now he feels them to be truer than ever.
“So if we were in Colombia,” you say suddenly as a smirk graces your lips, “would I be one of your girls?”
Javier turns to you, faintly amused. He cocks an eyebrow at you, his interest visibly peaked.
“What?”
“Would I be one of many girls that fall at Javier Peña’s feet? One of the lucky ones who get to go to bed with him?”
Something aches inside Javier as you pose that question. It’s a playful one and while you have no ill intentions behind it, it dawns on Javier that the idea repulses him on a certain level. The idea of you being just another pretty face to add to that seemingly endless list of conquests, another forgettable name on there… he doesn’t want that.
Especially not when the reality could not be more farther from the truth.
“No,” he responds, shifting closer to you and removing a strand of hair from your face. “No, absolutely not.”
You smile, somewhat confused. “Why not?”
“Because you’re—better. You’re—you’re everything, you—“
His heart starts pounding, his throat feels beyond dry and it feels as if there is a huge ball of fire in his chest, waiting to burst at the slightest movement.
“I—what?”
Tell her. Tell her now.
Tell her you fucking coward!
“We should get some rest,” Javier mutters, stroking your hair and coaxing you into his arms so that you fall asleep as soon as possible. Once you do, he finally exhales, still burdened and haunted, but much more secure in his decision to finally come clean to you tomorrow, no matter what.
Except that when tomorrow comes, Javier receives an unexpected invitation.
“You free in about two hours?” Steve’s voice asks through the phone, and Javier gulps out of instinct.
“Yeah, think so. Why?”
“How would you feel about having brunch with me and Connie?”
He falters, and it’s as if Steve can sense the hesitation on his part because he’s quick to add, “Hopefully my sister’s gonna be there too. Also Sylvie and her boyfriend Zack, they’re coming too. You know, my sister’s friends.”
“Right, yeah, I think she mentioned them at some point.”
“Yeah. I thought a nice friendly meal would do us all good. What do you say?”
Javier meets your face from the corner of his eye and notices the question written all over it. He shakes his head briefly, a little “I’ll handle this for us” sign, and resumes his conversation with Steve.
“Sounds nice, I’m in,” he tells Steve.
“Great. Just gotta call my sister now. Or hope to get in touch with her at least.”
“Just call her, I’m sure it’s gonna be fine.”
The moment he hangs up, he stares at you with the same guilty face he’s been having whenever Steve’s been around lately.
“You need to go to your apartment,” he tells you in a grim voice.
You frown. “Are you kicking me out?”
Javier makes a face. “No, of course not. But you need to go to your apartment because your brother’s gonna call you and you need to answer the phone.”
“I could be sleeping in. It’s Sunday, after all. I could’ve been out last night. Hell, I could’ve been with somebody. Maybe I was with Dean and we—“
“Okay, stop.”
You try not to smile seeing the bothered look on Javier’s face. Instead, you inch closer to him and wrap your arms around his neck.
“Aw, honey, are you jealous of Dean?” you peck his lips.
“I think we’ve already established that I was. But not anymore. I’ve got you, and he can go suck a lemon for all I care.”
You scoff, kissing him again, utterly enjoying the sensation of Javier simply melting into your arms, into the kiss you share.
“You really should stop with this because if you don’t, we’re gonna be stuck in here for the rest of the day, spent and sweaty,” Javier warns, to which you cock an eyebrow at him.
“Okay, so what did my brother want?”
“He invited us to brunch.”
“Us?”
“Well, me. And he should be calling you any moment, so if you could go to your apartment and answer the phone, I’d really appreciate that.”
“But I could be—“
“Please. For me?”
You roll your eyes, sighing. “Fine. You’re lucky I’m sweet on you.”
Javier presses a kiss to your cheek, stroking your hand.
“But we need to set up some ground rules for this brunch,” he tells you sternly.
“Rules? For what?”
“We said we’re not gonna tell Steve about us until we’re ready, and we’re not really there yet, so no sitting together, no touching, no looking at each other unless absolutely necessary.”
“Don’t you think that makes it more suspicious?”
“Hopefully not.”
You chuckle. “For someone who used to be a bad boy, you sure like setting down rules.”
“I’m just saying—okay, just—just go upstairs.”
“Ooh, yes, sir.”
He knows you’re joking; he knows you’re teasing him, especially in that falsely impressed and sultry tone of voice, and yet a part of him still twitches at the thought of you being so willing, so malleable and needy for him.
It’s a thought that will never leave his mind—or his body.
Tumblr media
The little bistro Steve chose—aka claims, because everyone knows Connie is the one who actually picked it—for the brunch is quite cozy: floral arrangements adorn the outside windows, little lights hang from the walls on the inside, and plenty of people buzzing and chatting, completely immersed in their conversations.
If he were honest, Javier preferred if the two of you showed up at this brunch separately—although in hindsight, that would probably raise more questions instead of burying them for good. But he still has a knot in his throat even when you assure him that nobody’s going to bat an eyelash and that they will all think you coming together here was nothing more but an act of convenience.
“I’m telling you, it’s fine,” you sneakily squeeze Javier’s hand. “Could you at least try to look less constipated? Just—you know, for at least an hour or two.”
Javier frowns at you, taking a deep breath and taking one last, long look at you, as if he’s trying to memorize every single detail about you. You crack a smile.
“It’s going to be fine,” you reassure him. “You care far more about Steven’s opinion than I do. I don’t care if he finds out.”
“I kind of do.”
“I know you do. And it’s so sweet. But so what if he finds out? I mean… what’s he gonna uncover? That his little sister is in the healthiest and best relationship she’s ever had?”
“With his friend and partner whom he particularly asked not to fool around with his little sister.”
“Javi, we’re not just fooling around.” After a pause, you continue somewhat concerned. “Are we?”
“No, absolutely not.”
“Then you shouldn’t worry this much.”
It’s quite astounding how fast you’re capable of calming Javier down with minimal effort. But it works, and when the two of you enter the place and take your seats at the table, greeted by the rest of the party, Javier breathes a little easier. He avoids Steve’s eyes as he shakes hands with Zach and Sylvie, guilt weighing on his conscience like the heaviest boulder. He tries his best in remembering your words that this isn’t about Steve, it’s about the two of you and your newfound happiness, but alas, he remains just a little bit stiff throughout brunch as conversation starts flowing between all of you.
On the brighter side, Javier smiles to himself seeing you and Steve engaged in conversation, laughing with each other. You’re sitting side by side to your brother, which means Javier is right in front of you and gets to notice the two of you mending your relationship.
Then he thinks again of how hopelessly in love he feels with you, how he has been for the past several weeks, if not more, and how it’s all happening behind Steve’s back. Maybe you were right, though; maybe it wouldn’t be so bad for Steve to find out at last. He’d find out that his little sister is happy, and that his best friend is content, at peace.
Would that be so bad?
And then he feels your foot rubbing against his, sneaking its way up, just in the slightest; he inhales a sharp breath, giving you a death stare, and he gets his answer.
Maybe it would be so bad.
“I hear you finished writing your book?” Sylvie asks you, redirecting Javier’s attention to the subject matter.
“I did,” you proudly say. “I need to do the final editing, run it by someone, but I’m pretty confident it’ll be out by next year. At least that’s the hope.”
“That’s so damn cool,” Zach says in between mouthfuls.
“Truly amazing,” Connie adds.
“I’m so proud of you.”
Everyone turns to look at Steve, who’s got the brightest smile on his face and his glass raised up. They all follow suit with the gesture, toasting your accomplishment as you stare at your big brother.
“Really, I am,” Steve goes on. “I’ve always been. Always thought you’re amazing. Much cooler than me.”
“By miles.”
The table laughs.
“But it dawned on me that I never really told you this. So… I want you to know that I am very proud of you, every day. And I love you.”
“Thank you. And I love you too.”
“Here, here!”
 The conversation begins to flow easily afterwards: Connie shares Olivia’s latest endeavors and how she started walking; Zach and Sylvie talk about their relationship and how it is to live together, to which you make a tasteful joke about her pretending to still live with you as well and how you and Zach basically share Sylvie; then Steve talks about work and how he enjoys it, being similar and yet different than what he used to do in Colombia. Javier remains silent during this portion, sipping on his black coffee and pretending not to feel your leg sliding up his.
“What about you, Javier?” Sylvie asks.
“What about me what?”
“How do you like it at the precinct?”
“It’s okay.”
You eye him briefly, affectionately rubbing your leg on his shin, concealing a smile as you see him squirm in his seat.
“Javi’s having a bit of a tough time adjusting,” Steve intervenes.
“It’s police work. It’s what I know, and it’s what I do.”
“It’s what gives you nightmares.”
Everyone at the table turns towards you, the same surprised look on all of their faces. You shrug, ignoring Javier’s deadly stare.
“And you know this how?” Steve asks reticently.
“By talking. By asking and by actually getting to know people, Steven.”
“Let’s move on, shall we?” Javier suggests.
“What do you mean?” Steve resumes, focusing solely on you. “I know people, I talk to them.”
You take a deep breath, maintaining a neutral tone even if your pulse increases rapidly.
“You refer to Javier as your best friend, but besides work, how much do you really talk to each other?”
“We talk.”
“Sometimes too much if you ask me,” Javier adds.
“Point is, he is my best friend.”
“Really? Did you know that he has night terrors? Not nightmares, terrors. And not every night, but he has ‘em. He mumbles and groans in his sleep, sometimes cries or even screams. He apologizes over and over to dead people, to you and to Connie.”
“Oh, Javi…” Connie mumbles.
“Do you know how I know this?”
There’s a lightbulb moment happening inside Steve’s head, and it is perfectly legible on his face as he stares at you, then at Javier, who gulps. Steve says your name, still processing, and it is only then that Javier stands up abruptly, his eyes shooting right at you.
“Can I talk to you for a minute? All the way over there?”
You raise your eyebrows, quite surprised, but nod and follow Javier all the way to the buffet table. You notice the little crease between his brows, the way he purses his lips and you can tell something’s making him uncomfortable. Suddenly the thought makes you feel guilty.
“Javi, I’m sorry if I crossed a line—“
“You thought at brunch would be a good idea to rub your leg against me? With your friends and brother right next to you?”
You furrow your brows, even more taken aback. “Okay, not where I thought this conversation was headed,” you confess.
“Tell me.”
As much as you’d like to deny it or pretend like it doesn’t affect you, Javier’s demeanor is getting through to you in ways you wouldn’t have thought possible; the way he’s being so adamant about his request, his voice low and husky—
“I thought it would be fun, yes,” you shamelessly admit.
“You gotta stop it because otherwise I might excuse us again and fuck you in that bathroom.”
Speechless, you stare at him, mouth ajar and heart pounding in your ears. You find yourself incapable of saying anything for the next few seconds, and even more shocking, you find yourself seriously debating Javier’s words.
“Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about it,” he says.
“Don’t tell me you’re not,” you chuckle.
Javier huffs, frustrated to the point of taking his own words into consideration.
Except he is trying really hard not to be that kind of man and be more respectful and wary.
“Gotta be honest, I thought you were gonna be upset about me saying you have nightmares,” you mutter.
“No, I’m upset because you were rubbing up against me with your brother right next to you, and I can’t keep going like this. So either you tell him about us, or I do.”
You stare at him incredulously. “Wait, seriously? You wanna tell him?”
“I need a clear conscience. And I really need it so next time I fuck you, I won’t feel so guilty.”
You chuckle, stroking his arm. You’re fully aware that the gesture hasn’t gone unnoticed by the four people who are most likely still staring at you two, but all of a sudden, you no longer care. Javier is right; just as he doesn’t want to deny or hide it anymore, neither do you.
So when you return to the table, the perfect comeback is hatched from your brain.
“Sorry about that,” you smile, turning straight to Steven.
“What’s going on?”
“As I was saying, do you know how I know all of those things about Javier?”
“Don’t say it.”
“I’ve been spending the nights at his place. Every night for like three months now.”
Connie and Sylvie are the only ones smiling, except the latter is sipping from her cup of coffee with utmost interest.
“Three months?” Steven repeats. “So you chose to sleep with my best friend to what? To prove a point, to—to laugh in my face?”
“Neither. Actually, it did start as a way to get back at you. But as it turns out, he’s great in the sack.”
“As advertised,” Javier adds.
“And you wanted to skip brunch today,” Sylvie whispers to Zach, who’s watching the exchange as speechless as Connie.
“Don’t—“Steve shakes his head.
“Oh yeah, he’s fantastic. Knows his way around a woman’s body better than she knows it. I’m talking about waves and waves of endless pleasure.”
“I think I’m gonna throw up.”
“Actually, I think I might too. We haven’t really been careful, you know? It’s been a lot of sweaty, rough and yet so passionate—“
“Okay, stop! Why are you being like this? Both of you!”
You exchange a glare with Javier, both of you smiling at each other.
“Like what? Wild, unhinged?”
“Kind of, yes!”
“The way you’ve been treating me since I was 15? Which I haven’t been in years, by the way.”
“Please tell me you were using some form of birth control though.”
“Ew, shut up! Would you calm down already? We’re both responsible adults, we know what to do. Besides, we’re not just sleeping together. We’re going on dates and spending time together and… we like each other.”
“We’re not just fooling around,” Javier adds, unable to look away from you. “I’m in love with her.”
You stare back at him, ignoring Connie’s soft oh my God in your vicinity, even Sylvie’s I fuckin’ knew it towards Zach.
“Javi, it’s okay, you don’t have to—“
“I love her, Steve. And I did keep my promise to not fool around with her. What I can do is promise to keep her safe and treat her with respect and care.”
It dawns on you that this is the first time you’ve heard Javier say those words, and realizing he also hasn’t said them since his last real relationship. It’s a huge milestone in both your lives, and the fact that Javier chose this moment to confess makes you realize how much he must care about you.
“It’s true,” you add. “I—I love him too. I have for quite some time.”
“I fuckin’ told you,” Sylvie smiles. “I told you, and I knew sooner or later—“
“Not now, Syl.”
“Right, sorry. Continue.”
“Honey?” Connie presses her hand to Steve’s shoulder. “Don’t you wanna say something to them?”
��I’m really sorry, guys. I never wanted to… to treat you this way, to push you even further, sis. I guess I was just afraid that what Colombia did to me and Javier would be too much for you to handle. I know Connie got overwhelmed at some point. Rightfully so. But after all, I had her to come home to. Javier was… alone, and burying his problems in alcohol, cigarettes and random women. Relationships were out of question for him, and I saw what Colombia did to him overall, what all of that did to him. I didn’t want any of that for you. I obviously want you both to be happy, that’s all I’ve ever wanted. And I see you guys now being so happy with each other… it makes me happy.”
“We’re sorry we didn’t tell you earlier,” Javier says. “I guess we needed some time to figure things out ourselves.”
“Doesn’t matter now. Point is, I know my sister, she’s an amazing woman, and I—I missed the angle where that might be something good for Javier. Which it clearly is. And clearly he was full of shit when he said you’re not his type.”
“Just out of curiosity,” you intervene, “what exactly is Javier’s type?”
“The usual sexy, sultry woman.”
You raise your brows, to which Steve panics. “Not that you’re not! I mean, not that I think you as my sister are sexy… okay, this is weird, let’s move on.”
“Yeah, let’s.”
“I meant, you’re more the next door girl kind of woman, I suppose, and Javier usually went for the ‘right in your face sexy’ kind of a woman.”
“Relax, I know. I’m just teasing you.”
“Yeah, it’s what you do best.”
Everyone laughs, with Connie affectionately rubbing Steve’s arm.
“But listen, as glad as I am that we are talking about this and being open and mature about it, please do be safe, okay?” Steve says, and you make a face. “Also I know this goes without saying, probably—hopefully—but please don’t have a baby just to spite me.”
“Steven—“
“Please, I’ve learned my lesson, I swear. I promise I’ll be good! I’ll stay out of your relationship, just don’t—“
“Steven!”
“I’m not totally ready to be an uncle. I need to mentally prepare myself for a baby that’s half Murphy, half Peña.”
You roll your eyes. “Would you relax? We are not there yet. We may never be there. I don’t know. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but for now we’re good the way we are. Plus he’s teaching me Spanish too.”
“Oh, that’s nice.”
“But don’t worry, we only do it when I get a full sentence right.”
Seeing the scandalized look on Steve’s face, you burst into laughter, and the rest follow suit.
“I’m kidding! Oh my God, it’s so fun messing with you.”
“Something is seriously wrong with you.”
You can’t help but share the laughter with the rest of the company, never quite managing to capture Javier’s eyes in your direction, not even on the way home. It only hits you the weight of the words that had been hastily, yet calculatedly, been spilled at the brunch table among friends and family once you get the inside of his apartment. You look around, finally allowing the day’s events to hit you, and then you turn to look at Javier, a warm smile gracing your face.
He confessed to everyone present that he loved you, standing up to your overly protective older brother.
“What’s going on?” Javier asks.
It somehow still surprises you that he’s able to capture the concern on your face, even when it’s not there. You’re not concerned this time around. Quite the opposite; you’ve never felt more at ease and more impressed by a partner. Granted, not that you had many serious relationships in the past, but this right now with Javier, it has so much potential to be something grand that it astounds you.
“About what you said before,” you start, your heart thrumming in your ears. “At brunch.”
Then it hits Javier as well. He inhales deeply, steadying himself.
“Right. So here’s the thing,” he clears his throat. “I’ve only ever said those words once before, and as we know, it didn’t end very well. Okay, in all fairness, it wasn’t paradise city from the beginning, it was more of a masked—that’s not the point. Anyway—“
You conceal a chuckle, staring at him with anticipation and a warmth that exceeds any expectation.
“I’ve only said those words once,” he resumes, “and I did mean it at the time. But I wasn’t really… in love when I said them. It didn’t feel like it should. But now, I think for the first time in my life, I feel those words the way they should feel. I thought I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t do relationships because I suck at them and there was never any time back in Colombia but… I think I just needed to find my match.”
You take his hand into yours. “Javi…”
“I’m serious. I’ve never met anyone so witty and funny, so—so badass. Frankly you could probably kick my ass and I’d be hella turned on.”
You don’t stifle the hearty laugh that escapes your mouth this time, and it triggers the same reaction out of Javier.
“The point I’m trying to make is… I meant what I said. I didn’t just say it to shut Steve up. I—I do love you. The best that I can, which I don’t think is near enough to what you deserve, but… I’m trying to do better, to—“
You cup his cheeks, kissing him tenderly. Javier blinks surprised at you, and his flustered face with his big brown eyes is so sweet it weakens your knees.
“You’re doing just fine, Javi,” you reassure him. “Are you kidding me? You’re so attentive and sweet and—and I love you too.”
Javier blinks in surprise again. Somehow it slipped right by him that you could reciprocate his feelings, hence why he’s rendered speechless for several seconds.
“What uh—I mean… you do?” he finally asks.
“I do. I love you. I should’ve said it sooner, I think, after you turned my story into a book. That’s… kind of when I knew. I guess I chickened out.”
“You chickened out? Why?”
You sigh. “Because… I never said the words before.”
“Wait, you never said ‘I love you’ to someone?”
You shake your head, slightly shuddering. “Well, you know my dating history and patterns, so none of those boys stuck around long enough for me to actually develop real feelings. And there was never any real connection between us. All we really had—“
“Ah, okay, I can—I can visualize what you had.”
“Aw, honey, are you jealous?”
“No. Just… not really a fan of picturing you have sweaty sex with some douchebag.”
“How about if I have some sweaty sex with a very good man?”
Though his interest visibly peaked, Javier still gulps at the notion of being referred to as “a very good man”. It’s the lie he’s told himself countless times back in Medellin and Cali and Bogota, and the same lie he operated under with the hope of excusing his horrid choices. But to hear now as something factual, something that someone as wonderful as you actually believes in…
“You could,” he finally says, stepping closer to you.
His hands roam around your waist, teasing from the small of your back; shivers run down your spine, prickling your skin.
“Is this how you were with the women back then?” you dare ask.
“Why the sudden interest?”
You shrug. “Not sudden. I’m a writer. Everyone has the potential to be an interesting character. Besides, I find the Javier stories fascinating.”
“That so?”
“Mhm.”
“Well, that Javier isn’t really around. All he was good for was some fast and rough outlet for release and… not much more.”
“So I take it that dominant, needy Javier is gone?”
He raises his brows, chuckling at the way you’re sneakily handling him. A part of him still fears this power you hold over him, but a bigger part of him is thrilled even by the still of your hand, let alone the way you’re capable of handling him.
He’s never had that, he realizes; he’s never had a woman meet him right where he’s at, handle him like a pro and then some more, and he enjoys it far more than he would’ve expected.
“I meant gone as in… gone on a vacation, not dead.”
You smile, teasingly playing with the hem of his shirt.
“That what you need now?” Javier teases.
“I want whatever you’re comfortable with giving me.”
That’s what ultimately sets him off. So when he finally kisses you, it’s rugged, needy and asserting dominance, but there’s also something very tender in the way Javier is holding you, pulling you into his body. Javier’s sole focus right now is exposing more of you to him, feeling you as close as humanly possible; therefore, he doesn’t tell you just how affected he is by your choice of words. He doesn’t tell you that this is the weakest, yet strongest he’s ever felt. If someone were to ask him how he feels, he’d easily reply “disgustingly happy”, words which he never used before.
He doesn’t tell you any of this; he lets actions speak louder. Calloused fingers, accustomed to manhandling and roughhousing, caress and cup your ass. With each passing second, the kiss you share deepens further, his pulse quickens and his jeans become more and more constricted. Never mind that it’s the middle of the day, in broad daylight; Javier wants—needs—to marvel at every inch of you, exactly as it is.
“Whatever you want from me,” he tells you through a shuddering breath as he slowly undresses you, “it’s yours. Anything.”
Javier surprises himself at how malleable he finds himself to be, caught under your spell, but he does not care one bit. When you look into his eyes and see his blown out pupils, you know he means it. You feel his words to be true.
You smile as you close your eyes and pull him in for another hasty kiss, stumbling your way to the bed. Javier strips you slowly, stealing kisses down your body while a breath catches in your throat. The sun shines right through the big windows on this crisp fall day, so there’s nothing to hide. It’s only when Javier’s hands finally pull down your panties and expose you to him that you notice you’re facing the mirror hanging from the wall of his bedroom. You shiver and on cue, Javier’s hungry eyes look up to meet yours. He smirks—because of course he does, son of a bitch.
“It’s a great view, isn’t it?” he murmurs, tentatively licking a stripe up your pussy.
His eyes don’t leave you when you sneak another glance at the mirror: it’s not huge, but big enough to fit your naked body and Javier’s head right between your legs. No good words cross your mind, even if your mind is in overdrive, begging your mouth to release some form of verbal speech. Your knees buckle and your heart beats rapidly when Javier takes his first taste. It feels like the first time he’s ever done this, though it’s really old news by this point. Recently you thought Javier’s existence is limited to one place and one place alone, and that is in between your legs, based on how much he loves spending time down there—whether he’s snug inside you or eating you out.
“Watch how gorgeous you are when you come on my tongue,” you hear Javier’s voice, lustful and dark.
“Presumptuous, aren’t we?”
You laugh a little, but it quickly fades when you feel two digits moving slowly in and out of you, a tongue collecting the slick gathered in your most sensitive spot. His nose nudges your clit, his whole mouth is seemingly buried in your pussy, and all you can do is moan helplessly, let one of your hands grab a handful of his hair and keep your eyes locked on the way your body curves and aches at his mercy. God, he’s so needy, so eager to please you and to give you orgasms; almost like this is his purpose in this world.
“Does it feel good?” you hear his husky voice.
His fingers feel like they’re splitting you open while you nearly fall apart in his mouth, and at the same time it’s not enough. It drives you insane.
You nod frantically, locked in the same trance of watching yourself getting ate out by Javier.
“With words, señorita.”
Oh fuck. You hadn’t expected that, certainly not the reaction it triggers out of you.
“Yes,” you exhale. “It feels so, so good, Javi.”
“Good. Touch yourself.”
Though your mind is in a haze, you’re able to follow his instruction. Your hand bolts to your clit, rubbing in circling motions. That, paired with his fingers pumping in and out of you and his mouth like a hot furnace devouring your pussy, it doesn’t take that much longer to get you to where you desperately need. Seeing you like this, being able to make you feel this way, it’s all getting to Javier too; he’s gotten so hard by this point it’s borderline masochistic how much pain he’s voluntarily taking in, so he unconsciously starts to rub against the edge of the bed. The friction is so good, but nowhere near enough. It’ll have to do for now, he thinks. He needs to get you off first.
A moan is harshly ripped from the back of your throat, your legs jerk and nearly trap Javier between them as pleasure jolts throughout your body. It’s electric, overwhelming, and simply unmatched. It’s too much all at once, to look in the mirror and see how painfully needy you are for this man, how beautifully fucked out you look in at this very moment. You notice his hips, desperately humping the bed, unbeknownst even to himself.
Javier pulls out his fingers, only his tongue remaining on your overly sensitive area, the strokes of it now gentler. You tug on his hair to make him attentive, and when he looks up, you see his face contorted in a mixture of delight, pleasure and neediness. And just like that, your body aches again, only this time for something more.
“Ah fuck,” Javier groans in his fast attempt to dispose of his clothes. “Didn’t notice I was—“
He sighs right as you smile, taking in the sight of a naked Javier, all in broad daylight for you to savor. He’s so hard now it almost pains you, so when you make a motion to get to him and stroke him, Javier nearly swats your hand away.
“Why not?” you ask with a pout.
“Because it’s gonna be a fucking miracle if I last more than a few seconds and I wanna be inside you when we come.”
You raise your brows. “We?”
“What did I tell you in the beginning that you’ll always have from me?”
“At least two orgasms.”
“I live up to my words.”
He’s wrapped the condom around his cock, now crawling in between your legs, the place he has claimed as his own and by far the most incredible place he’s ever resided in. He’s done this plenty of times before now, it’s nothing new; and yet, this very moment which reeks of anticipation and desire, this single moment in time when his hand is curled around his cock, guiding himself to your already soaked entrance, Javier wishes he could freeze it, keep it to himself forever.
When he slides right at home, deep inside you, you both moan in tandem. And it is the most damnable, beguiling and intoxicating sensation he’s ever known.
Probably because you’re not just another girl passing through his life and his bed. You’re not another random face or a number to the list of women he’s been with.
You’re the woman he loves, the woman he’d take a bullet for if he had to, the woman he’d move mountains for.
“Javi?”
You have this ability to bring him back with his feet to the ground whenever he tends to wander off, and Javier is nothing if not grateful for it, particularly now.
“Can you move? Please?” you plead and it’s so sweet he could come just from that.
Javier chuckles, the sound resembling that of a madman—and he supposes he is one, in a sense.
“Keep lookin’,” he instructs, a little bit of his Texan roots slipping in his tone as he starts to roll his hips. “Want you to watch how good you take me. How—beautiful you are when you take me.”
The grip you have over his shoulders tightens as his hips pick up a moderate pace, pounding into you with a mixture of greed and love. The more he sinks into you, whispering sweet nothings and giving the occasional order, the more you feel pressure building inside your belly. You do as he says, watching your body writhing beneath his in the mirror, and you shudder. His back covers a lot of the frame, so you mostly notice him from behind, pounding into you, and your nearly limp body underneath, taking him as he is giving himself to you.
The sensation of having him atop of you is stellar, something almost like it was meant for you and you alone; Javier’s stealing the occasional kiss from you, his hips more erratic with each additional thrust and his mouth whispering that he’s so close, so fucking close.
“D’you see?” he manages to get out through a wicked smile. “See how—how fuckin’ good you look hmm?”
“Yes—yes, I see it—“
“Mhm—good girl. My good fuckin’ girl.”
Javier loses any train of thought, be it rational or not, and when his orgasm finally hits, it’s all too much and too sudden, and when he can’t stop cussing or thrusting furiously into you, you cup his cheeks and tell him a simple “I love you”.
And he lets go, almost violently.
He’s struggling to catch his breath when he feels you spasming around him, and there’s pride to be felt even when he’s dumbfounded that you came almost at the same time.
“I’m sorry,” he says, and you make a face at him trying to regulate his breaths. “I was kinda hoping… I’d last longer.”
You kiss him sweetly, gently, still feeling him ache inside of you. “It’s the sexiest thing,” you murmur.
“Having the endurance of a teenage boy?”
“No, the idea that someone needs you this desperately they can’t hold themselves in one piece. I love that. And I love you.”
Javier pecks your lips. “I don’t think I’ll get used to you saying that.”
“You should.”
“I love you too.”
You stay snugged up like that for who knows how long, while the sun rays beam down on your naked bodies. And then it starts to get dark, and you’re on Javier’s lap, slowly riding him and kissing him, aiming for nothing in particular but intimacy.

series masterlist | AO3
There’s loud screams all around him. Smoke, screams, and the unmistakable scent of death and despair, all around him.
Someone’s screaming for him. Saying his name on a loop. Javier, Javier, Javier. Followed by Javi. Then a toe-curling help me and please, and then—silence.
A silence so loud his ears are ringing and pouring blood.
Except when he looks around him, there’s blood everywhere.
Blood, mass destruction, and an impending sense of doom that no matter how far he runs, no matter what lies he tells, it never leaves him. It is then, in that very second as he’s looking down at the bloodied and bruised face of a woman he once thought he could be with and save, Javier realizes that sense of doom will never leave him. He will remain forever locked in its harsh and cold grip, forever followed by the inevitable shame and guilt, doomed to drown in them.
“I’m sorry,” he mutters. “’m sorry—I’m—I couldn’t—“
“Javi. Hey. It’s okay. Can you hear me? Javi. It’s me.”
His name on a loop, pronounced so carefully and sincerely, so rich with care and an almost soul-crushing sweetness, awakens him at long last. He’s disoriented as he looks around, his temples and forehead dripping with sweat. There’s a hand gently resting on his chest, steadying his heartbeat, and it’s then that Javier’s eyes come into focus and they see your face. And then slowly the realization that he’s no longer in Colombia, no longer surrounded by pain, comes into focus as well, and that he’s in his bed, next to the most wonderful woman he’s ever known.
“Are you alright?” you ask, gently rubbing his chest through the t-shirt.
“Yeah. I’m definitely better now.”
He cracks a reassuring smile and so do you.
“Nightmare?” you ask next.
Javier nods, rather hesitantly. “I was back in Colombia. In Bogota.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Upon noticing the hesitation on his face, you’re quick to add, “It’s okay if you don’t want to though. I don’t have to know everything about your past.”
Something about that feels oddly endearing; Javier hasn’t met anyone who has been as kind and understanding as you and for every genuine word you throw at him, for every gentle caress of his hand or his cheek, he feels his chest impossibly lighter, as if all the pain he has been carrying with him for the past few years is beginning to wear off at long last.
Though his tongue aches for verbal release, Javier isn’t certain that he wants to burden you with the horrors he had witnessed and done in Colombia. You are far too tame to handle such harsh realities, even if you clearly expect the truth and nothing but it.
“I did things I’m not proud of,” he lets out in a coarser than expected voice. “Terrible things. Either for information or out of… helplessness or desperation.”
You don’t say anything; you adjust your position so that you face him clearer, even in the darkness, and let him continue.
“I’m no saint, by no means. I guess sometimes I thought my actions were justified because the end result would be good. But it rarely ever was.”
And before he knows it, Javier is telling you the chapter of his life which he deemed closed some time ago, from start to finish: he tells you about him and Steve and how they worked together; he tells you about working with the most gruesome group in all of Colombia in order to get to Pablo Escobar; he tells you about Helena and how he cared about her and how he got her traumatized simply because he pushed her too much for information; he tells you of all the people he threatened, shot, of all the plans he made and failed, how he got the so-called promotion in Cali and how it meant that Steve was the one who ended Escobar eventually. By the end of it, it’s nearly morning and you’re cuddled at his chest, listening to him breathe and caressing his cheek.
“I appreciate you opening up about this,” you murmur. “I know it can’t possibly be easy.”
“It is. It feels easier with you.”
You smile, chastely kissing his lips. Javier’s chest rises and falls with each additional shaky breath he takes as he forces his mind to collaborate with his mouth in order to get out those pesky three words that have been pressing on his conscience for weeks now. Yet the way you kiss him tenderly and sweetly, as if to reassure him that he’s safe and sound from any harm in this world, it shuts him up real good.
His mother once told him that when he’ll meet someone special, he’ll know it and he’ll know just what to say and when. He was still a kid at the time and he dismissed his mother’s words, but now he feels them to be truer than ever.
“So if we were in Colombia,” you say suddenly as a smirk graces your lips, “would I be one of your girls?”
Javier turns to you, faintly amused. He cocks an eyebrow at you, his interest visibly peaked.
“What?”
“Would I be one of many girls that fall at Javier Peña’s feet? One of the lucky ones who get to go to bed with him?”
Something aches inside Javier as you pose that question. It’s a playful one and while you have no ill intentions behind it, it dawns on Javier that the idea repulses him on a certain level. The idea of you being just another pretty face to add to that seemingly endless list of conquests, another forgettable name on there… he doesn’t want that.
Especially not when the reality could not be more farther from the truth.
“No,” he responds, shifting closer to you and removing a strand of hair from your face. “No, absolutely not.”
You smile, somewhat confused. “Why not?”
“Because you’re—better. You’re—you’re everything, you—“
His heart starts pounding, his throat feels beyond dry and it feels as if there is a huge ball of fire in his chest, waiting to burst at the slightest movement.
“I—what?”
Tell her. Tell her now.
Tell her you fucking coward!
“We should get some rest,” Javier mutters, stroking your hair and coaxing you into his arms so that you fall asleep as soon as possible. Once you do, he finally exhales, still burdened and haunted, but much more secure in his decision to finally come clean to you tomorrow, no matter what.
Except that when tomorrow comes, Javier receives an unexpected invitation.
“You free in about two hours?” Steve’s voice asks through the phone, and Javier gulps out of instinct.
“Yeah, think so. Why?”
“How would you feel about having brunch with me and Connie?”
He falters, and it’s as if Steve can sense the hesitation on his part because he’s quick to add, “Hopefully my sister’s gonna be there too. Also Sylvie and her boyfriend Zack, they’re coming too. You know, my sister’s friends.”
“Right, yeah, I think she mentioned them at some point.”
“Yeah. I thought a nice friendly meal would do us all good. What do you say?”
Javier meets your face from the corner of his eye and notices the question written all over it. He shakes his head briefly, a little “I’ll handle this for us” sign, and resumes his conversation with Steve.
“Sounds nice, I’m in,” he tells Steve.
“Great. Just gotta call my sister now. Or hope to get in touch with her at least.”
“Just call her, I’m sure it’s gonna be fine.”
The moment he hangs up, he stares at you with the same guilty face he’s been having whenever Steve’s been around lately.
“You need to go to your apartment,” he tells you in a grim voice.
You frown. “Are you kicking me out?”
Javier makes a face. “No, of course not. But you need to go to your apartment because your brother’s gonna call you and you need to answer the phone.”
“I could be sleeping in. It’s Sunday, after all. I could’ve been out last night. Hell, I could’ve been with somebody. Maybe I was with Dean and we—“
“Okay, stop.”
You try not to smile seeing the bothered look on Javier’s face. Instead, you inch closer to him and wrap your arms around his neck.
“Aw, honey, are you jealous of Dean?” you peck his lips.
“I think we’ve already established that I was. But not anymore. I’ve got you, and he can go suck a lemon for all I care.”
You scoff, kissing him again, utterly enjoying the sensation of Javier simply melting into your arms, into the kiss you share.
“You really should stop with this because if you don’t, we’re gonna be stuck in here for the rest of the day, spent and sweaty,” Javier warns, to which you cock an eyebrow at him.
“Okay, so what did my brother want?”
“He invited us to brunch.”
“Us?”
“Well, me. And he should be calling you any moment, so if you could go to your apartment and answer the phone, I’d really appreciate that.”
“But I could be—“
“Please. For me?”
You roll your eyes, sighing. “Fine. You’re lucky I’m sweet on you.”
Javier presses a kiss to your cheek, stroking your hand.
“But we need to set up some ground rules for this brunch,” he tells you sternly.
“Rules? For what?”
“We said we’re not gonna tell Steve about us until we’re ready, and we’re not really there yet, so no sitting together, no touching, no looking at each other unless absolutely necessary.”
“Don’t you think that makes it more suspicious?”
“Hopefully not.”
You chuckle. “For someone who used to be a bad boy, you sure like setting down rules.”
“I’m just saying—okay, just—just go upstairs.”
“Ooh, yes, sir.”
He knows you’re joking; he knows you’re teasing him, especially in that falsely impressed and sultry tone of voice, and yet a part of him still twitches at the thought of you being so willing, so malleable and needy for him.
It’s a thought that will never leave his mind—or his body.
Tumblr media
The little bistro Steve chose—aka claims, because everyone knows Connie is the one who actually picked it—for the brunch is quite cozy: floral arrangements adorn the outside windows, little lights hang from the walls on the inside, and plenty of people buzzing and chatting, completely immersed in their conversations.
If he were honest, Javier preferred if the two of you showed up at this brunch separately—although in hindsight, that would probably raise more questions instead of burying them for good. But he still has a knot in his throat even when you assure him that nobody’s going to bat an eyelash and that they will all think you coming together here was nothing more but an act of convenience.
“I’m telling you, it’s fine,” you sneakily squeeze Javier’s hand. “Could you at least try to look less constipated? Just—you know, for at least an hour or two.”
Javier frowns at you, taking a deep breath and taking one last, long look at you, as if he’s trying to memorize every single detail about you. You crack a smile.
“It’s going to be fine,” you reassure him. “You care far more about Steven’s opinion than I do. I don’t care if he finds out.”
“I kind of do.”
“I know you do. And it’s so sweet. But so what if he finds out? I mean… what’s he gonna uncover? That his little sister is in the healthiest and best relationship she’s ever had?”
“With his friend and partner whom he particularly asked not to fool around with his little sister.”
“Javi, we’re not just fooling around.” After a pause, you continue somewhat concerned. “Are we?”
“No, absolutely not.”
“Then you shouldn’t worry this much.”
It’s quite astounding how fast you’re capable of calming Javier down with minimal effort. But it works, and when the two of you enter the place and take your seats at the table, greeted by the rest of the party, Javier breathes a little easier. He avoids Steve’s eyes as he shakes hands with Zach and Sylvie, guilt weighing on his conscience like the heaviest boulder. He tries his best in remembering your words that this isn’t about Steve, it’s about the two of you and your newfound happiness, but alas, he remains just a little bit stiff throughout brunch as conversation starts flowing between all of you.
On the brighter side, Javier smiles to himself seeing you and Steve engaged in conversation, laughing with each other. You’re sitting side by side to your brother, which means Javier is right in front of you and gets to notice the two of you mending your relationship.
Then he thinks again of how hopelessly in love he feels with you, how he has been for the past several weeks, if not more, and how it’s all happening behind Steve’s back. Maybe you were right, though; maybe it wouldn’t be so bad for Steve to find out at last. He’d find out that his little sister is happy, and that his best friend is content, at peace.
Would that be so bad?
And then he feels your foot rubbing against his, sneaking its way up, just in the slightest; he inhales a sharp breath, giving you a death stare, and he gets his answer.
Maybe it would be so bad.
“I hear you finished writing your book?” Sylvie asks you, redirecting Javier’s attention to the subject matter.
“I did,” you proudly say. “I need to do the final editing, run it by someone, but I’m pretty confident it’ll be out by next year. At least that’s the hope.”
“That’s so damn cool,” Zach says in between mouthfuls.
“Truly amazing,” Connie adds.
“I’m so proud of you.”
Everyone turns to look at Steve, who’s got the brightest smile on his face and his glass raised up. They all follow suit with the gesture, toasting your accomplishment as you stare at your big brother.
“Really, I am,” Steve goes on. “I’ve always been. Always thought you’re amazing. Much cooler than me.”
“By miles.”
The table laughs.
“But it dawned on me that I never really told you this. So… I want you to know that I am very proud of you, every day. And I love you.”
“Thank you. And I love you too.”
“Here, here!”
 The conversation begins to flow easily afterwards: Connie shares Olivia’s latest endeavors and how she started walking; Zach and Sylvie talk about their relationship and how it is to live together, to which you make a tasteful joke about her pretending to still live with you as well and how you and Zach basically share Sylvie; then Steve talks about work and how he enjoys it, being similar and yet different than what he used to do in Colombia. Javier remains silent during this portion, sipping on his black coffee and pretending not to feel your leg sliding up his.
“What about you, Javier?” Sylvie asks.
“What about me what?”
“How do you like it at the precinct?”
“It’s okay.”
You eye him briefly, affectionately rubbing your leg on his shin, concealing a smile as you see him squirm in his seat.
“Javi’s having a bit of a tough time adjusting,” Steve intervenes.
“It’s police work. It’s what I know, and it’s what I do.”
“It’s what gives you nightmares.”
Everyone at the table turns towards you, the same surprised look on all of their faces. You shrug, ignoring Javier’s deadly stare.
“And you know this how?” Steve asks reticently.
“By talking. By asking and by actually getting to know people, Steven.”
“Let’s move on, shall we?” Javier suggests.
“What do you mean?” Steve resumes, focusing solely on you. “I know people, I talk to them.”
You take a deep breath, maintaining a neutral tone even if your pulse increases rapidly.
“You refer to Javier as your best friend, but besides work, how much do you really talk to each other?”
“We talk.”
“Sometimes too much if you ask me,” Javier adds.
“Point is, he is my best friend.”
“Really? Did you know that he has night terrors? Not nightmares, terrors. And not every night, but he has ‘em. He mumbles and groans in his sleep, sometimes cries or even screams. He apologizes over and over to dead people, to you and to Connie.”
“Oh, Javi…” Connie mumbles.
“Do you know how I know this?”
There’s a lightbulb moment happening inside Steve’s head, and it is perfectly legible on his face as he stares at you, then at Javier, who gulps. Steve says your name, still processing, and it is only then that Javier stands up abruptly, his eyes shooting right at you.
“Can I talk to you for a minute? All the way over there?”
You raise your eyebrows, quite surprised, but nod and follow Javier all the way to the buffet table. You notice the little crease between his brows, the way he purses his lips and you can tell something’s making him uncomfortable. Suddenly the thought makes you feel guilty.
“Javi, I’m sorry if I crossed a line—“
“You thought at brunch would be a good idea to rub your leg against me? With your friends and brother right next to you?”
You furrow your brows, even more taken aback. “Okay, not where I thought this conversation was headed,” you confess.
“Tell me.”
As much as you’d like to deny it or pretend like it doesn’t affect you, Javier’s demeanor is getting through to you in ways you wouldn’t have thought possible; the way he’s being so adamant about his request, his voice low and husky—
“I thought it would be fun, yes,” you shamelessly admit.
“You gotta stop it because otherwise I might excuse us again and fuck you in that bathroom.”
Speechless, you stare at him, mouth ajar and heart pounding in your ears. You find yourself incapable of saying anything for the next few seconds, and even more shocking, you find yourself seriously debating Javier’s words.
“Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about it,” he says.
“Don’t tell me you’re not,” you chuckle.
Javier huffs, frustrated to the point of taking his own words into consideration.
Except he is trying really hard not to be that kind of man and be more respectful and wary.
“Gotta be honest, I thought you were gonna be upset about me saying you have nightmares,” you mutter.
“No, I’m upset because you were rubbing up against me with your brother right next to you, and I can’t keep going like this. So either you tell him about us, or I do.”
You stare at him incredulously. “Wait, seriously? You wanna tell him?”
“I need a clear conscience. And I really need it so next time I fuck you, I won’t feel so guilty.”
You chuckle, stroking his arm. You’re fully aware that the gesture hasn’t gone unnoticed by the four people who are most likely still staring at you two, but all of a sudden, you no longer care. Javier is right; just as he doesn’t want to deny or hide it anymore, neither do you.
So when you return to the table, the perfect comeback is hatched from your brain.
“Sorry about that,” you smile, turning straight to Steven.
“What’s going on?”
“As I was saying, do you know how I know all of those things about Javier?”
“Don’t say it.”
“I’ve been spending the nights at his place. Every night for like three months now.”
Connie and Sylvie are the only ones smiling, except the latter is sipping from her cup of coffee with utmost interest.
“Three months?” Steven repeats. “So you chose to sleep with my best friend to what? To prove a point, to—to laugh in my face?”
“Neither. Actually, it did start as a way to get back at you. But as it turns out, he’s great in the sack.”
“As advertised,” Javier adds.
“And you wanted to skip brunch today,” Sylvie whispers to Zach, who’s watching the exchange as speechless as Connie.
“Don’t—“Steve shakes his head.
“Oh yeah, he’s fantastic. Knows his way around a woman’s body better than she knows it. I’m talking about waves and waves of endless pleasure.”
“I think I’m gonna throw up.”
“Actually, I think I might too. We haven’t really been careful, you know? It’s been a lot of sweaty, rough and yet so passionate—“
“Okay, stop! Why are you being like this? Both of you!”
You exchange a glare with Javier, both of you smiling at each other.
“Like what? Wild, unhinged?”
“Kind of, yes!”
“The way you’ve been treating me since I was 15? Which I haven’t been in years, by the way.”
“Please tell me you were using some form of birth control though.”
“Ew, shut up! Would you calm down already? We’re both responsible adults, we know what to do. Besides, we’re not just sleeping together. We’re going on dates and spending time together and… we like each other.”
“We’re not just fooling around,” Javier adds, unable to look away from you. “I’m in love with her.”
You stare back at him, ignoring Connie’s soft oh my God in your vicinity, even Sylvie’s I fuckin’ knew it towards Zach.
“Javi, it’s okay, you don’t have to—“
“I love her, Steve. And I did keep my promise to not fool around with her. What I can do is promise to keep her safe and treat her with respect and care.”
It dawns on you that this is the first time you’ve heard Javier say those words, and realizing he also hasn’t said them since his last real relationship. It’s a huge milestone in both your lives, and the fact that Javier chose this moment to confess makes you realize how much he must care about you.
“It’s true,” you add. “I—I love him too. I have for quite some time.”
“I fuckin’ told you,” Sylvie smiles. “I told you, and I knew sooner or later—“
“Not now, Syl.”
“Right, sorry. Continue.”
“Honey?” Connie presses her hand to Steve’s shoulder. “Don’t you wanna say something to them?”
“I’m really sorry, guys. I never wanted to… to treat you this way, to push you even further, sis. I guess I was just afraid that what Colombia did to me and Javier would be too much for you to handle. I know Connie got overwhelmed at some point. Rightfully so. But after all, I had her to come home to. Javier was… alone, and burying his problems in alcohol, cigarettes and random women. Relationships were out of question for him, and I saw what Colombia did to him overall, what all of that did to him. I didn’t want any of that for you. I obviously want you both to be happy, that’s all I’ve ever wanted. And I see you guys now being so happy with each other… it makes me happy.”
“We’re sorry we didn’t tell you earlier,” Javier says. “I guess we needed some time to figure things out ourselves.”
“Doesn’t matter now. Point is, I know my sister, she’s an amazing woman, and I—I missed the angle where that might be something good for Javier. Which it clearly is. And clearly he was full of shit when he said you’re not his type.”
“Just out of curiosity,” you intervene, “what exactly is Javier’s type?”
“The usual sexy, sultry woman.”
You raise your brows, to which Steve panics. “Not that you’re not! I mean, not that I think you as my sister are sexy… okay, this is weird, let’s move on.”
“Yeah, let’s.”
“I meant, you’re more the next door girl kind of woman, I suppose, and Javier usually went for the ‘right in your face sexy’ kind of a woman.”
“Relax, I know. I’m just teasing you.”
“Yeah, it’s what you do best.”
Everyone laughs, with Connie affectionately rubbing Steve’s arm.
“But listen, as glad as I am that we are talking about this and being open and mature about it, please do be safe, okay?” Steve says, and you make a face. “Also I know this goes without saying, probably—hopefully—but please don’t have a baby just to spite me.”
“Steven—“
“Please, I’ve learned my lesson, I swear. I promise I’ll be good! I’ll stay out of your relationship, just don’t—“
“Steven!”
“I’m not totally ready to be an uncle. I need to mentally prepare myself for a baby that’s half Murphy, half Peña.”
You roll your eyes. “Would you relax? We are not there yet. We may never be there. I don’t know. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but for now we’re good the way we are. Plus he’s teaching me Spanish too.”
“Oh, that’s nice.”
“But don’t worry, we only do it when I get a full sentence right.”
Seeing the scandalized look on Steve’s face, you burst into laughter, and the rest follow suit.
“I’m kidding! Oh my God, it’s so fun messing with you.”
“Something is seriously wrong with you.”
You can’t help but share the laughter with the rest of the company, never quite managing to capture Javier’s eyes in your direction, not even on the way home. It only hits you the weight of the words that had been hastily, yet calculatedly, been spilled at the brunch table among friends and family once you get the inside of his apartment. You look around, finally allowing the day’s events to hit you, and then you turn to look at Javier, a warm smile gracing your face.
He confessed to everyone present that he loved you, standing up to your overly protective older brother.
“What’s going on?” Javier asks.
It somehow still surprises you that he’s able to capture the concern on your face, even when it’s not there. You’re not concerned this time around. Quite the opposite; you’ve never felt more at ease and more impressed by a partner. Granted, not that you had many serious relationships in the past, but this right now with Javier, it has so much potential to be something grand that it astounds you.
“About what you said before,” you start, your heart thrumming in your ears. “At brunch.”
Then it hits Javier as well. He inhales deeply, steadying himself.
“Right. So here’s the thing,” he clears his throat. “I’ve only ever said those words once before, and as we know, it didn’t end very well. Okay, in all fairness, it wasn’t paradise city from the beginning, it was more of a masked—that’s not the point. Anyway—“
You conceal a chuckle, staring at him with anticipation and a warmth that exceeds any expectation.
“I’ve only said those words once,” he resumes, “and I did mean it at the time. But I wasn’t really… in love when I said them. It didn’t feel like it should. But now, I think for the first time in my life, I feel those words the way they should feel. I thought I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t do relationships because I suck at them and there was never any time back in Colombia but… I think I just needed to find my match.”
You take his hand into yours. “Javi…”
“I’m serious. I’ve never met anyone so witty and funny, so—so badass. Frankly you could probably kick my ass and I’d be hella turned on.”
You don’t stifle the hearty laugh that escapes your mouth this time, and it triggers the same reaction out of Javier.
“The point I’m trying to make is… I meant what I said. I didn’t just say it to shut Steve up. I—I do love you. The best that I can, which I don’t think is near enough to what you deserve, but… I’m trying to do better, to—“
You cup his cheeks, kissing him tenderly. Javier blinks surprised at you, and his flustered face with his big brown eyes is so sweet it weakens your knees.
“You’re doing just fine, Javi,” you reassure him. “Are you kidding me? You’re so attentive and sweet and—and I love you too.”
Javier blinks in surprise again. Somehow it slipped right by him that you could reciprocate his feelings, hence why he’s rendered speechless for several seconds.
“What uh—I mean… you do?” he finally asks.
“I do. I love you. I should’ve said it sooner, I think, after you turned my story into a book. That’s… kind of when I knew. I guess I chickened out.”
“You chickened out? Why?”
You sigh. “Because… I never said the words before.”
“Wait, you never said ‘I love you’ to someone?”
You shake your head, slightly shuddering. “Well, you know my dating history and patterns, so none of those boys stuck around long enough for me to actually develop real feelings. And there was never any real connection between us. All we really had—“
“Ah, okay, I can—I can visualize what you had.”
“Aw, honey, are you jealous?”
“No. Just… not really a fan of picturing you have sweaty sex with some douchebag.”
“How about if I have some sweaty sex with a very good man?”
Though his interest visibly peaked, Javier still gulps at the notion of being referred to as “a very good man”. It’s the lie he’s told himself countless times back in Medellin and Cali and Bogota, and the same lie he operated under with the hope of excusing his horrid choices. But to hear now as something factual, something that someone as wonderful as you actually believes in…
“You could,” he finally says, stepping closer to you.
His hands roam around your waist, teasing from the small of your back; shivers run down your spine, prickling your skin.
“Is this how you were with the women back then?” you dare ask.
“Why the sudden interest?”
You shrug. “Not sudden. I’m a writer. Everyone has the potential to be an interesting character. Besides, I find the Javier stories fascinating.”
“That so?”
“Mhm.”
“Well, that Javier isn’t really around. All he was good for was some fast and rough outlet for release and… not much more.”
“So I take it that dominant, needy Javier is gone?”
He raises his brows, chuckling at the way you’re sneakily handling him. A part of him still fears this power you hold over him, but a bigger part of him is thrilled even by the still of your hand, let alone the way you’re capable of handling him.
He’s never had that, he realizes; he’s never had a woman meet him right where he’s at, handle him like a pro and then some more, and he enjoys it far more than he would’ve expected.
“I meant gone as in… gone on a vacation, not dead.”
You smile, teasingly playing with the hem of his shirt.
“That what you need now?” Javier teases.
“I want whatever you’re comfortable with giving me.”
That’s what ultimately sets him off. So when he finally kisses you, it’s rugged, needy and asserting dominance, but there’s also something very tender in the way Javier is holding you, pulling you into his body. Javier’s sole focus right now is exposing more of you to him, feeling you as close as humanly possible; therefore, he doesn’t tell you just how affected he is by your choice of words. He doesn’t tell you that this is the weakest, yet strongest he’s ever felt. If someone were to ask him how he feels, he’d easily reply “disgustingly happy”, words which he never used before.
He doesn’t tell you any of this; he lets actions speak louder. Calloused fingers, accustomed to manhandling and roughhousing, caress and cup your ass. With each passing second, the kiss you share deepens further, his pulse quickens and his jeans become more and more constricted. Never mind that it’s the middle of the day, in broad daylight; Javier wants—needs—to marvel at every inch of you, exactly as it is.
“Whatever you want from me,” he tells you through a shuddering breath as he slowly undresses you, “it’s yours. Anything.”
Javier surprises himself at how malleable he finds himself to be, caught under your spell, but he does not care one bit. When you look into his eyes and see his blown out pupils, you know he means it. You feel his words to be true.
You smile as you close your eyes and pull him in for another hasty kiss, stumbling your way to the bed. Javier strips you slowly, stealing kisses down your body while a breath catches in your throat. The sun shines right through the big windows on this crisp fall day, so there’s nothing to hide. It’s only when Javier’s hands finally pull down your panties and expose you to him that you notice you’re facing the mirror hanging from the wall of his bedroom. You shiver and on cue, Javier’s hungry eyes look up to meet yours. He smirks—because of course he does, son of a bitch.
“It’s a great view, isn’t it?” he murmurs, tentatively licking a stripe up your pussy.
His eyes don’t leave you when you sneak another glance at the mirror: it’s not huge, but big enough to fit your naked body and Javier’s head right between your legs. No good words cross your mind, even if your mind is in overdrive, begging your mouth to release some form of verbal speech. Your knees buckle and your heart beats rapidly when Javier takes his first taste. It feels like the first time he’s ever done this, though it’s really old news by this point. Recently you thought Javier’s existence is limited to one place and one place alone, and that is in between your legs, based on how much he loves spending time down there—whether he’s snug inside you or eating you out.
“Watch how gorgeous you are when you come on my tongue,” you hear Javier’s voice, lustful and dark.
“Presumptuous, aren’t we?”
You laugh a little, but it quickly fades when you feel two digits moving slowly in and out of you, a tongue collecting the slick gathered in your most sensitive spot. His nose nudges your clit, his whole mouth is seemingly buried in your pussy, and all you can do is moan helplessly, let one of your hands grab a handful of his hair and keep your eyes locked on the way your body curves and aches at his mercy. God, he’s so needy, so eager to please you and to give you orgasms; almost like this is his purpose in this world.
“Does it feel good?” you hear his husky voice.
His fingers feel like they’re splitting you open while you nearly fall apart in his mouth, and at the same time it’s not enough. It drives you insane.
You nod frantically, locked in the same trance of watching yourself getting ate out by Javier.
“With words, señorita.”
Oh fuck. You hadn’t expected that, certainly not the reaction it triggers out of you.
“Yes,” you exhale. “It feels so, so good, Javi.”
“Good. Touch yourself.”
Though your mind is in a haze, you’re able to follow his instruction. Your hand bolts to your clit, rubbing in circling motions. That, paired with his fingers pumping in and out of you and his mouth like a hot furnace devouring your pussy, it doesn’t take that much longer to get you to where you desperately need. Seeing you like this, being able to make you feel this way, it’s all getting to Javier too; he’s gotten so hard by this point it’s borderline masochistic how much pain he’s voluntarily taking in, so he unconsciously starts to rub against the edge of the bed. The friction is so good, but nowhere near enough. It’ll have to do for now, he thinks. He needs to get you off first.
A moan is harshly ripped from the back of your throat, your legs jerk and nearly trap Javier between them as pleasure jolts throughout your body. It’s electric, overwhelming, and simply unmatched. It’s too much all at once, to look in the mirror and see how painfully needy you are for this man, how beautifully fucked out you look in at this very moment. You notice his hips, desperately humping the bed, unbeknownst even to himself.
Javier pulls out his fingers, only his tongue remaining on your overly sensitive area, the strokes of it now gentler. You tug on his hair to make him attentive, and when he looks up, you see his face contorted in a mixture of delight, pleasure and neediness. And just like that, your body aches again, only this time for something more.
“Ah fuck,” Javier groans in his fast attempt to dispose of his clothes. “Didn’t notice I was—“
He sighs right as you smile, taking in the sight of a naked Javier, all in broad daylight for you to savor. He’s so hard now it almost pains you, so when you make a motion to get to him and stroke him, Javier nearly swats your hand away.
“Why not?” you ask with a pout.
“Because it’s gonna be a fucking miracle if I last more than a few seconds and I wanna be inside you when we come.”
You raise your brows. “We?”
“What did I tell you in the beginning that you’ll always have from me?”
“At least two orgasms.”
“I live up to my words.”
He’s wrapped the condom around his cock, now crawling in between your legs, the place he has claimed as his own and by far the most incredible place he’s ever resided in. He’s done this plenty of times before now, it’s nothing new; and yet, this very moment which reeks of anticipation and desire, this single moment in time when his hand is curled around his cock, guiding himself to your already soaked entrance, Javier wishes he could freeze it, keep it to himself forever.
When he slides right at home, deep inside you, you both moan in tandem. And it is the most damnable, beguiling and intoxicating sensation he’s ever known.
Probably because you’re not just another girl passing through his life and his bed. You’re not another random face or a number to the list of women he’s been with.
You’re the woman he loves, the woman he’d take a bullet for if he had to, the woman he’d move mountains for.
“Javi?”
You have this ability to bring him back with his feet to the ground whenever he tends to wander off, and Javier is nothing if not grateful for it, particularly now.
“Can you move? Please?” you plead and it’s so sweet he could come just from that.
Javier chuckles, the sound resembling that of a madman—and he supposes he is one, in a sense.
“Keep lookin’,” he instructs, a little bit of his Texan roots slipping in his tone as he starts to roll his hips. “Want you to watch how good you take me. How—beautiful you are when you take me.”
The grip you have over his shoulders tightens as his hips pick up a moderate pace, pounding into you with a mixture of greed and love. The more he sinks into you, whispering sweet nothings and giving the occasional order, the more you feel pressure building inside your belly. You do as he says, watching your body writhing beneath his in the mirror, and you shudder. His back covers a lot of the frame, so you mostly notice him from behind, pounding into you, and your nearly limp body underneath, taking him as he is giving himself to you.
The sensation of having him atop of you is stellar, something almost like it was meant for you and you alone; Javier’s stealing the occasional kiss from you, his hips more erratic with each additional thrust and his mouth whispering that he’s so close, so fucking close.
“D’you see?” he manages to get out through a wicked smile. “See how—how fuckin’ good you look hmm?”
“Yes—yes, I see it—“
“Mhm—good girl. My good fuckin’ girl.”
Javier loses any train of thought, be it rational or not, and when his orgasm finally hits, it’s all too much and too sudden, and when he can’t stop cussing or thrusting furiously into you, you cup his cheeks and tell him a simple “I love you”.
And he lets go, almost violently.
He’s struggling to catch his breath when he feels you spasming around him, and there’s pride to be felt even when he’s dumbfounded that you came almost at the same time.
“I’m sorry,” he says, and you make a face at him trying to regulate his breaths. “I was kinda hoping… I’d last longer.”
You kiss him sweetly, gently, still feeling him ache inside of you. “It’s the sexiest thing,” you murmur.
“Having the endurance of a teenage boy?”
“No, the idea that someone needs you this desperately they can’t hold themselves in one piece. I love that. And I love you.”
Javier pecks your lips. “I don’t think I’ll get used to you saying that.”
“You should.”
“I love you too.”
You stay snugged up like that for who knows how long, while the sun rays beam down on your naked bodies. And then it starts to get dark, and you’re on Javier’s lap, slowly riding him and kissing him, aiming for nothing in particular but intimacy.

series masterlist | AO3
There’s loud screams all around him. Smoke, screams, and the unmistakable scent of death and despair, all around him.
Someone’s screaming for him. Saying his name on a loop. Javier, Javier, Javier. Followed by Javi. Then a toe-curling help me and please, and then—silence.
A silence so loud his ears are ringing and pouring blood.
Except when he looks around him, there’s blood everywhere.
Blood, mass destruction, and an impending sense of doom that no matter how far he runs, no matter what lies he tells, it never leaves him. It is then, in that very second as he’s looking down at the bloodied and bruised face of a woman he once thought he could be with and save, Javier realizes that sense of doom will never leave him. He will remain forever locked in its harsh and cold grip, forever followed by the inevitable shame and guilt, doomed to drown in them.
“I’m sorry,” he mutters. “’m sorry—I’m—I couldn’t—“
“Javi. Hey. It’s okay. Can you hear me? Javi. It’s me.”
His name on a loop, pronounced so carefully and sincerely, so rich with care and an almost soul-crushing sweetness, awakens him at long last. He’s disoriented as he looks around, his temples and forehead dripping with sweat. There’s a hand gently resting on his chest, steadying his heartbeat, and it’s then that Javier’s eyes come into focus and they see your face. And then slowly the realization that he’s no longer in Colombia, no longer surrounded by pain, comes into focus as well, and that he’s in his bed, next to the most wonderful woman he’s ever known.
“Are you alright?” you ask, gently rubbing his chest through the t-shirt.
“Yeah. I’m definitely better now.”
He cracks a reassuring smile and so do you.
“Nightmare?” you ask next.
Javier nods, rather hesitantly. “I was back in Colombia. In Bogota.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Upon noticing the hesitation on his face, you’re quick to add, “It’s okay if you don’t want to though. I don’t have to know everything about your past.”
Something about that feels oddly endearing; Javier hasn’t met anyone who has been as kind and understanding as you and for every genuine word you throw at him, for every gentle caress of his hand or his cheek, he feels his chest impossibly lighter, as if all the pain he has been carrying with him for the past few years is beginning to wear off at long last.
Though his tongue aches for verbal release, Javier isn’t certain that he wants to burden you with the horrors he had witnessed and done in Colombia. You are far too tame to handle such harsh realities, even if you clearly expect the truth and nothing but it.
“I did things I’m not proud of,” he lets out in a coarser than expected voice. “Terrible things. Either for information or out of… helplessness or desperation.”
You don’t say anything; you adjust your position so that you face him clearer, even in the darkness, and let him continue.
“I’m no saint, by no means. I guess sometimes I thought my actions were justified because the end result would be good. But it rarely ever was.”
And before he knows it, Javier is telling you the chapter of his life which he deemed closed some time ago, from start to finish: he tells you about him and Steve and how they worked together; he tells you about working with the most gruesome group in all of Colombia in order to get to Pablo Escobar; he tells you about Helena and how he cared about her and how he got her traumatized simply because he pushed her too much for information; he tells you of all the people he threatened, shot, of all the plans he made and failed, how he got the so-called promotion in Cali and how it meant that Steve was the one who ended Escobar eventually. By the end of it, it’s nearly morning and you’re cuddled at his chest, listening to him breathe and caressing his cheek.
“I appreciate you opening up about this,” you murmur. “I know it can’t possibly be easy.”
“It is. It feels easier with you.”
You smile, chastely kissing his lips. Javier’s chest rises and falls with each additional shaky breath he takes as he forces his mind to collaborate with his mouth in order to get out those pesky three words that have been pressing on his conscience for weeks now. Yet the way you kiss him tenderly and sweetly, as if to reassure him that he’s safe and sound from any harm in this world, it shuts him up real good.
His mother once told him that when he’ll meet someone special, he’ll know it and he’ll know just what to say and when. He was still a kid at the time and he dismissed his mother’s words, but now he feels them to be truer than ever.
“So if we were in Colombia,” you say suddenly as a smirk graces your lips, “would I be one of your girls?”
Javier turns to you, faintly amused. He cocks an eyebrow at you, his interest visibly peaked.
“What?”
“Would I be one of many girls that fall at Javier Peña’s feet? One of the lucky ones who get to go to bed with him?”
Something aches inside Javier as you pose that question. It’s a playful one and while you have no ill intentions behind it, it dawns on Javier that the idea repulses him on a certain level. The idea of you being just another pretty face to add to that seemingly endless list of conquests, another forgettable name on there… he doesn’t want that.
Especially not when the reality could not be more farther from the truth.
“No,” he responds, shifting closer to you and removing a strand of hair from your face. “No, absolutely not.”
You smile, somewhat confused. “Why not?”
“Because you’re—better. You’re—you’re everything, you—“
His heart starts pounding, his throat feels beyond dry and it feels as if there is a huge ball of fire in his chest, waiting to burst at the slightest movement.
“I—what?”
Tell her. Tell her now.
Tell her you fucking coward!
“We should get some rest,” Javier mutters, stroking your hair and coaxing you into his arms so that you fall asleep as soon as possible. Once you do, he finally exhales, still burdened and haunted, but much more secure in his decision to finally come clean to you tomorrow, no matter what.
Except that when tomorrow comes, Javier receives an unexpected invitation.
“You free in about two hours?” Steve’s voice asks through the phone, and Javier gulps out of instinct.
“Yeah, think so. Why?”
“How would you feel about having brunch with me and Connie?”
He falters, and it’s as if Steve can sense the hesitation on his part because he’s quick to add, “Hopefully my sister’s gonna be there too. Also Sylvie and her boyfriend Zack, they’re coming too. You know, my sister’s friends.”
“Right, yeah, I think she mentioned them at some point.”
“Yeah. I thought a nice friendly meal would do us all good. What do you say?”
Javier meets your face from the corner of his eye and notices the question written all over it. He shakes his head briefly, a little “I’ll handle this for us” sign, and resumes his conversation with Steve.
“Sounds nice, I’m in,” he tells Steve.
“Great. Just gotta call my sister now. Or hope to get in touch with her at least.”
“Just call her, I’m sure it’s gonna be fine.”
The moment he hangs up, he stares at you with the same guilty face he’s been having whenever Steve’s been around lately.
“You need to go to your apartment,” he tells you in a grim voice.
You frown. “Are you kicking me out?”
Javier makes a face. “No, of course not. But you need to go to your apartment because your brother’s gonna call you and you need to answer the phone.”
“I could be sleeping in. It’s Sunday, after all. I could’ve been out last night. Hell, I could’ve been with somebody. Maybe I was with Dean and we—“
“Okay, stop.”
You try not to smile seeing the bothered look on Javier’s face. Instead, you inch closer to him and wrap your arms around his neck.
“Aw, honey, are you jealous of Dean?” you peck his lips.
“I think we’ve already established that I was. But not anymore. I’ve got you, and he can go suck a lemon for all I care.”
You scoff, kissing him again, utterly enjoying the sensation of Javier simply melting into your arms, into the kiss you share.
“You really should stop with this because if you don’t, we’re gonna be stuck in here for the rest of the day, spent and sweaty,” Javier warns, to which you cock an eyebrow at him.
“Okay, so what did my brother want?”
“He invited us to brunch.”
“Us?”
“Well, me. And he should be calling you any moment, so if you could go to your apartment and answer the phone, I’d really appreciate that.”
“But I could be—“
“Please. For me?”
You roll your eyes, sighing. “Fine. You’re lucky I’m sweet on you.”
Javier presses a kiss to your cheek, stroking your hand.
“But we need to set up some ground rules for this brunch,” he tells you sternly.
“Rules? For what?”
“We said we’re not gonna tell Steve about us until we’re ready, and we’re not really there yet, so no sitting together, no touching, no looking at each other unless absolutely necessary.”
“Don’t you think that makes it more suspicious?”
“Hopefully not.”
You chuckle. “For someone who used to be a bad boy, you sure like setting down rules.”
“I’m just saying—okay, just—just go upstairs.”
“Ooh, yes, sir.”
He knows you’re joking; he knows you’re teasing him, especially in that falsely impressed and sultry tone of voice, and yet a part of him still twitches at the thought of you being so willing, so malleable and needy for him.
It’s a thought that will never leave his mind—or his body.
Tumblr media
The little bistro Steve chose—aka claims, because everyone knows Connie is the one who actually picked it—for the brunch is quite cozy: floral arrangements adorn the outside windows, little lights hang from the walls on the inside, and plenty of people buzzing and chatting, completely immersed in their conversations.
If he were honest, Javier preferred if the two of you showed up at this brunch separately—although in hindsight, that would probably raise more questions instead of burying them for good. But he still has a knot in his throat even when you assure him that nobody’s going to bat an eyelash and that they will all think you coming together here was nothing more but an act of convenience.
“I’m telling you, it’s fine,” you sneakily squeeze Javier’s hand. “Could you at least try to look less constipated? Just—you know, for at least an hour or two.”
Javier frowns at you, taking a deep breath and taking one last, long look at you, as if he’s trying to memorize every single detail about you. You crack a smile.
“It’s going to be fine,” you reassure him. “You care far more about Steven’s opinion than I do. I don’t care if he finds out.”
“I kind of do.”
“I know you do. And it’s so sweet. But so what if he finds out? I mean… what’s he gonna uncover? That his little sister is in the healthiest and best relationship she’s ever had?”
“With his friend and partner whom he particularly asked not to fool around with his little sister.”
“Javi, we’re not just fooling around.” After a pause, you continue somewhat concerned. “Are we?”
“No, absolutely not.”
“Then you shouldn’t worry this much.”
It’s quite astounding how fast you’re capable of calming Javier down with minimal effort. But it works, and when the two of you enter the place and take your seats at the table, greeted by the rest of the party, Javier breathes a little easier. He avoids Steve’s eyes as he shakes hands with Zach and Sylvie, guilt weighing on his conscience like the heaviest boulder. He tries his best in remembering your words that this isn’t about Steve, it’s about the two of you and your newfound happiness, but alas, he remains just a little bit stiff throughout brunch as conversation starts flowing between all of you.
On the brighter side, Javier smiles to himself seeing you and Steve engaged in conversation, laughing with each other. You’re sitting side by side to your brother, which means Javier is right in front of you and gets to notice the two of you mending your relationship.
Then he thinks again of how hopelessly in love he feels with you, how he has been for the past several weeks, if not more, and how it’s all happening behind Steve’s back. Maybe you were right, though; maybe it wouldn’t be so bad for Steve to find out at last. He’d find out that his little sister is happy, and that his best friend is content, at peace.
Would that be so bad?
And then he feels your foot rubbing against his, sneaking its way up, just in the slightest; he inhales a sharp breath, giving you a death stare, and he gets his answer.
Maybe it would be so bad.
“I hear you finished writing your book?” Sylvie asks you, redirecting Javier’s attention to the subject matter.
“I did,” you proudly say. “I need to do the final editing, run it by someone, but I’m pretty confident it’ll be out by next year. At least that’s the hope.”
“That’s so damn cool,” Zach says in between mouthfuls.
“Truly amazing,” Connie adds.
“I’m so proud of you.”
Everyone turns to look at Steve, who’s got the brightest smile on his face and his glass raised up. They all follow suit with the gesture, toasting your accomplishment as you stare at your big brother.
“Really, I am,” Steve goes on. “I’ve always been. Always thought you’re amazing. Much cooler than me.”
“By miles.”
The table laughs.
“But it dawned on me that I never really told you this. So… I want you to know that I am very proud of you, every day. And I love you.”
“Thank you. And I love you too.”
“Here, here!”
 The conversation begins to flow easily afterwards: Connie shares Olivia’s latest endeavors and how she started walking; Zach and Sylvie talk about their relationship and how it is to live together, to which you make a tasteful joke about her pretending to still live with you as well and how you and Zach basically share Sylvie; then Steve talks about work and how he enjoys it, being similar and yet different than what he used to do in Colombia. Javier remains silent during this portion, sipping on his black coffee and pretending not to feel your leg sliding up his.
“What about you, Javier?” Sylvie asks.
“What about me what?”
“How do you like it at the precinct?”
“It’s okay.”
You eye him briefly, affectionately rubbing your leg on his shin, concealing a smile as you see him squirm in his seat.
“Javi’s having a bit of a tough time adjusting,” Steve intervenes.
“It’s police work. It’s what I know, and it’s what I do.”
“It’s what gives you nightmares.”
Everyone at the table turns towards you, the same surprised look on all of their faces. You shrug, ignoring Javier’s deadly stare.
“And you know this how?” Steve asks reticently.
“By talking. By asking and by actually getting to know people, Steven.”
“Let’s move on, shall we?” Javier suggests.
“What do you mean?” Steve resumes, focusing solely on you. “I know people, I talk to them.”
You take a deep breath, maintaining a neutral tone even if your pulse increases rapidly.
“You refer to Javier as your best friend, but besides work, how much do you really talk to each other?”
“We talk.”
“Sometimes too much if you ask me,” Javier adds.
“Point is, he is my best friend.”
“Really? Did you know that he has night terrors? Not nightmares, terrors. And not every night, but he has ‘em. He mumbles and groans in his sleep, sometimes cries or even screams. He apologizes over and over to dead people, to you and to Connie.”
“Oh, Javi…” Connie mumbles.
“Do you know how I know this?”
There’s a lightbulb moment happening inside Steve’s head, and it is perfectly legible on his face as he stares at you, then at Javier, who gulps. Steve says your name, still processing, and it is only then that Javier stands up abruptly, his eyes shooting right at you.
“Can I talk to you for a minute? All the way over there?”
You raise your eyebrows, quite surprised, but nod and follow Javier all the way to the buffet table. You notice the little crease between his brows, the way he purses his lips and you can tell something’s making him uncomfortable. Suddenly the thought makes you feel guilty.
“Javi, I’m sorry if I crossed a line—“
“You thought at brunch would be a good idea to rub your leg against me? With your friends and brother right next to you?”
You furrow your brows, even more taken aback. “Okay, not where I thought this conversation was headed,” you confess.
“Tell me.”
As much as you’d like to deny it or pretend like it doesn’t affect you, Javier’s demeanor is getting through to you in ways you wouldn’t have thought possible; the way he’s being so adamant about his request, his voice low and husky—
“I thought it would be fun, yes,” you shamelessly admit.
“You gotta stop it because otherwise I might excuse us again and fuck you in that bathroom.”
Speechless, you stare at him, mouth ajar and heart pounding in your ears. You find yourself incapable of saying anything for the next few seconds, and even more shocking, you find yourself seriously debating Javier’s words.
“Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about it,” he says.
“Don’t tell me you’re not,” you chuckle.
Javier huffs, frustrated to the point of taking his own words into consideration.
Except he is trying really hard not to be that kind of man and be more respectful and wary.
“Gotta be honest, I thought you were gonna be upset about me saying you have nightmares,” you mutter.
“No, I’m upset because you were rubbing up against me with your brother right next to you, and I can’t keep going like this. So either you tell him about us, or I do.”
You stare at him incredulously. “Wait, seriously? You wanna tell him?”
“I need a clear conscience. And I really need it so next time I fuck you, I won’t feel so guilty.”
You chuckle, stroking his arm. You’re fully aware that the gesture hasn’t gone unnoticed by the four people who are most likely still staring at you two, but all of a sudden, you no longer care. Javier is right; just as he doesn’t want to deny or hide it anymore, neither do you.
So when you return to the table, the perfect comeback is hatched from your brain.
“Sorry about that,” you smile, turning straight to Steven.
“What’s going on?”
“As I was saying, do you know how I know all of those things about Javier?”
“Don’t say it.”
“I’ve been spending the nights at his place. Every night for like three months now.”
Connie and Sylvie are the only ones smiling, except the latter is sipping from her cup of coffee with utmost interest.
“Three months?” Steven repeats. “So you chose to sleep with my best friend to what? To prove a point, to—to laugh in my face?”
“Neither. Actually, it did start as a way to get back at you. But as it turns out, he’s great in the sack.”
“As advertised,” Javier adds.
“And you wanted to skip brunch today,” Sylvie whispers to Zach, who’s watching the exchange as speechless as Connie.
“Don’t—“Steve shakes his head.
“Oh yeah, he’s fantastic. Knows his way around a woman’s body better than she knows it. I’m talking about waves and waves of endless pleasure.”
“I think I’m gonna throw up.”
“Actually, I think I might too. We haven’t really been careful, you know? It’s been a lot of sweaty, rough and yet so passionate—“
“Okay, stop! Why are you being like this? Both of you!”
You exchange a glare with Javier, both of you smiling at each other.
“Like what? Wild, unhinged?”
“Kind of, yes!”
“The way you’ve been treating me since I was 15? Which I haven’t been in years, by the way.”
“Please tell me you were using some form of birth control though.”
“Ew, shut up! Would you calm down already? We’re both responsible adults, we know what to do. Besides, we’re not just sleeping together. We’re going on dates and spending time together and… we like each other.”
“We’re not just fooling around,” Javier adds, unable to look away from you. “I’m in love with her.”
You stare back at him, ignoring Connie’s soft oh my God in your vicinity, even Sylvie’s I fuckin’ knew it towards Zach.
“Javi, it’s okay, you don’t have to—“
“I love her, Steve. And I did keep my promise to not fool around with her. What I can do is promise to keep her safe and treat her with respect and care.”
It dawns on you that this is the first time you’ve heard Javier say those words, and realizing he also hasn’t said them since his last real relationship. It’s a huge milestone in both your lives, and the fact that Javier chose this moment to confess makes you realize how much he must care about you.
“It’s true,” you add. “I—I love him too. I have for quite some time.”
“I fuckin’ told you,” Sylvie smiles. “I told you, and I knew sooner or later—“
“Not now, Syl.”
“Right, sorry. Continue.”
“Honey?” Connie presses her hand to Steve’s shoulder. “Don’t you wanna say something to them?”
“I’m really sorry, guys. I never wanted to… to treat you this way, to push you even further, sis. I guess I was just afraid that what Colombia did to me and Javier would be too much for you to handle. I know Connie got overwhelmed at some point. Rightfully so. But after all, I had her to come home to. Javier was… alone, and burying his problems in alcohol, cigarettes and random women. Relationships were out of question for him, and I saw what Colombia did to him overall, what all of that did to him. I didn’t want any of that for you. I obviously want you both to be happy, that’s all I’ve ever wanted. And I see you guys now being so happy with each other… it makes me happy.”
“We’re sorry we didn’t tell you earlier,” Javier says. “I guess we needed some time to figure things out ourselves.”
“Doesn’t matter now. Point is, I know my sister, she’s an amazing woman, and I—I missed the angle where that might be something good for Javier. Which it clearly is. And clearly he was full of shit when he said you’re not his type.”
“Just out of curiosity,” you intervene, “what exactly is Javier’s type?”
“The usual sexy, sultry woman.”
You raise your brows, to which Steve panics. “Not that you’re not! I mean, not that I think you as my sister are sexy… okay, this is weird, let’s move on.”
“Yeah, let’s.”
“I meant, you’re more the next door girl kind of woman, I suppose, and Javier usually went for the ‘right in your face sexy’ kind of a woman.”
“Relax, I know. I’m just teasing you.”
“Yeah, it’s what you do best.”
Everyone laughs, with Connie affectionately rubbing Steve’s arm.
“But listen, as glad as I am that we are talking about this and being open and mature about it, please do be safe, okay?” Steve says, and you make a face. “Also I know this goes without saying, probably—hopefully—but please don’t have a baby just to spite me.”
“Steven—“
“Please, I’ve learned my lesson, I swear. I promise I’ll be good! I’ll stay out of your relationship, just don’t—“
“Steven!”
“I’m not totally ready to be an uncle. I need to mentally prepare myself for a baby that’s half Murphy, half Peña.”
You roll your eyes. “Would you relax? We are not there yet. We may never be there. I don’t know. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but for now we’re good the way we are. Plus he’s teaching me Spanish too.”
“Oh, that’s nice.”
“But don’t worry, we only do it when I get a full sentence right.”
Seeing the scandalized look on Steve’s face, you burst into laughter, and the rest follow suit.
“I’m kidding! Oh my God, it’s so fun messing with you.”
“Something is seriously wrong with you.”
You can’t help but share the laughter with the rest of the company, never quite managing to capture Javier’s eyes in your direction, not even on the way home. It only hits you the weight of the words that had been hastily, yet calculatedly, been spilled at the brunch table among friends and family once you get the inside of his apartment. You look around, finally allowing the day’s events to hit you, and then you turn to look at Javier, a warm smile gracing your face.
He confessed to everyone present that he loved you, standing up to your overly protective older brother.
“What’s going on?” Javier asks.
It somehow still surprises you that he’s able to capture the concern on your face, even when it’s not there. You’re not concerned this time around. Quite the opposite; you’ve never felt more at ease and more impressed by a partner. Granted, not that you had many serious relationships in the past, but this right now with Javier, it has so much potential to be something grand that it astounds you.
“About what you said before,” you start, your heart thrumming in your ears. “At brunch.”
Then it hits Javier as well. He inhales deeply, steadying himself.
“Right. So here’s the thing,” he clears his throat. “I’ve only ever said those words once before, and as we know, it didn’t end very well. Okay, in all fairness, it wasn’t paradise city from the beginning, it was more of a masked—that’s not the point. Anyway—“
You conceal a chuckle, staring at him with anticipation and a warmth that exceeds any expectation.
“I’ve only said those words once,” he resumes, “and I did mean it at the time. But I wasn’t really… in love when I said them. It didn’t feel like it should. But now, I think for the first time in my life, I feel those words the way they should feel. I thought I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t do relationships because I suck at them and there was never any time back in Colombia but… I think I just needed to find my match.”
You take his hand into yours. “Javi…”
“I’m serious. I’ve never met anyone so witty and funny, so—so badass. Frankly you could probably kick my ass and I’d be hella turned on.”
You don’t stifle the hearty laugh that escapes your mouth this time, and it triggers the same reaction out of Javier.
“The point I’m trying to make is… I meant what I said. I didn’t just say it to shut Steve up. I—I do love you. The best that I can, which I don’t think is near enough to what you deserve, but… I’m trying to do better, to—“
You cup his cheeks, kissing him tenderly. Javier blinks surprised at you, and his flustered face with his big brown eyes is so sweet it weakens your knees.
“You’re doing just fine, Javi,” you reassure him. “Are you kidding me? You’re so attentive and sweet and—and I love you too.”
Javier blinks in surprise again. Somehow it slipped right by him that you could reciprocate his feelings, hence why he’s rendered speechless for several seconds.
“What uh—I mean… you do?” he finally asks.
“I do. I love you. I should’ve said it sooner, I think, after you turned my story into a book. That’s… kind of when I knew. I guess I chickened out.”
“You chickened out? Why?”
You sigh. “Because… I never said the words before.”
“Wait, you never said ‘I love you’ to someone?”
You shake your head, slightly shuddering. “Well, you know my dating history and patterns, so none of those boys stuck around long enough for me to actually develop real feelings. And there was never any real connection between us. All we really had—“
“Ah, okay, I can—I can visualize what you had.”
“Aw, honey, are you jealous?”
“No. Just… not really a fan of picturing you have sweaty sex with some douchebag.”
“How about if I have some sweaty sex with a very good man?”
Though his interest visibly peaked, Javier still gulps at the notion of being referred to as “a very good man”. It’s the lie he’s told himself countless times back in Medellin and Cali and Bogota, and the same lie he operated under with the hope of excusing his horrid choices. But to hear now as something factual, something that someone as wonderful as you actually believes in…
“You could,” he finally says, stepping closer to you.
His hands roam around your waist, teasing from the small of your back; shivers run down your spine, prickling your skin.
“Is this how you were with the women back then?” you dare ask.
“Why the sudden interest?”
You shrug. “Not sudden. I’m a writer. Everyone has the potential to be an interesting character. Besides, I find the Javier stories fascinating.”
“That so?”
“Mhm.”
“Well, that Javier isn’t really around. All he was good for was some fast and rough outlet for release and… not much more.”
“So I take it that dominant, needy Javier is gone?”
He raises his brows, chuckling at the way you’re sneakily handling him. A part of him still fears this power you hold over him, but a bigger part of him is thrilled even by the still of your hand, let alone the way you’re capable of handling him.
He’s never had that, he realizes; he’s never had a woman meet him right where he’s at, handle him like a pro and then some more, and he enjoys it far more than he would’ve expected.
“I meant gone as in… gone on a vacation, not dead.”
You smile, teasingly playing with the hem of his shirt.
“That what you need now?” Javier teases.
“I want whatever you’re comfortable with giving me.”
That’s what ultimately sets him off. So when he finally kisses you, it’s rugged, needy and asserting dominance, but there’s also something very tender in the way Javier is holding you, pulling you into his body. Javier’s sole focus right now is exposing more of you to him, feeling you as close as humanly possible; therefore, he doesn’t tell you just how affected he is by your choice of words. He doesn’t tell you that this is the weakest, yet strongest he’s ever felt. If someone were to ask him how he feels, he’d easily reply “disgustingly happy”, words which he never used before.
He doesn’t tell you any of this; he lets actions speak louder. Calloused fingers, accustomed to manhandling and roughhousing, caress and cup your ass. With each passing second, the kiss you share deepens further, his pulse quickens and his jeans become more and more constricted. Never mind that it’s the middle of the day, in broad daylight; Javier wants—needs—to marvel at every inch of you, exactly as it is.
“Whatever you want from me,” he tells you through a shuddering breath as he slowly undresses you, “it’s yours. Anything.”
Javier surprises himself at how malleable he finds himself to be, caught under your spell, but he does not care one bit. When you look into his eyes and see his blown out pupils, you know he means it. You feel his words to be true.
You smile as you close your eyes and pull him in for another hasty kiss, stumbling your way to the bed. Javier strips you slowly, stealing kisses down your body while a breath catches in your throat. The sun shines right through the big windows on this crisp fall day, so there’s nothing to hide. It’s only when Javier’s hands finally pull down your panties and expose you to him that you notice you’re facing the mirror hanging from the wall of his bedroom. You shiver and on cue, Javier’s hungry eyes look up to meet yours. He smirks—because of course he does, son of a bitch.
“It’s a great view, isn’t it?” he murmurs, tentatively licking a stripe up your pussy.
His eyes don’t leave you when you sneak another glance at the mirror: it’s not huge, but big enough to fit your naked body and Javier’s head right between your legs. No good words cross your mind, even if your mind is in overdrive, begging your mouth to release some form of verbal speech. Your knees buckle and your heart beats rapidly when Javier takes his first taste. It feels like the first time he’s ever done this, though it’s really old news by this point. Recently you thought Javier’s existence is limited to one place and one place alone, and that is in between your legs, based on how much he loves spending time down there—whether he’s snug inside you or eating you out.
“Watch how gorgeous you are when you come on my tongue,” you hear Javier’s voice, lustful and dark.
“Presumptuous, aren’t we?”
You laugh a little, but it quickly fades when you feel two digits moving slowly in and out of you, a tongue collecting the slick gathered in your most sensitive spot. His nose nudges your clit, his whole mouth is seemingly buried in your pussy, and all you can do is moan helplessly, let one of your hands grab a handful of his hair and keep your eyes locked on the way your body curves and aches at his mercy. God, he’s so needy, so eager to please you and to give you orgasms; almost like this is his purpose in this world.
“Does it feel good?” you hear his husky voice.
His fingers feel like they’re splitting you open while you nearly fall apart in his mouth, and at the same time it’s not enough. It drives you insane.
You nod frantically, locked in the same trance of watching yourself getting ate out by Javier.
“With words, señorita.”
Oh fuck. You hadn’t expected that, certainly not the reaction it triggers out of you.
“Yes,” you exhale. “It feels so, so good, Javi.”
“Good. Touch yourself.”
Though your mind is in a haze, you’re able to follow his instruction. Your hand bolts to your clit, rubbing in circling motions. That, paired with his fingers pumping in and out of you and his mouth like a hot furnace devouring your pussy, it doesn’t take that much longer to get you to where you desperately need. Seeing you like this, being able to make you feel this way, it’s all getting to Javier too; he’s gotten so hard by this point it’s borderline masochistic how much pain he’s voluntarily taking in, so he unconsciously starts to rub against the edge of the bed. The friction is so good, but nowhere near enough. It’ll have to do for now, he thinks. He needs to get you off first.
A moan is harshly ripped from the back of your throat, your legs jerk and nearly trap Javier between them as pleasure jolts throughout your body. It’s electric, overwhelming, and simply unmatched. It’s too much all at once, to look in the mirror and see how painfully needy you are for this man, how beautifully fucked out you look in at this very moment. You notice his hips, desperately humping the bed, unbeknownst even to himself.
Javier pulls out his fingers, only his tongue remaining on your overly sensitive area, the strokes of it now gentler. You tug on his hair to make him attentive, and when he looks up, you see his face contorted in a mixture of delight, pleasure and neediness. And just like that, your body aches again, only this time for something more.
“Ah fuck,” Javier groans in his fast attempt to dispose of his clothes. “Didn’t notice I was—“
He sighs right as you smile, taking in the sight of a naked Javier, all in broad daylight for you to savor. He’s so hard now it almost pains you, so when you make a motion to get to him and stroke him, Javier nearly swats your hand away.
“Why not?” you ask with a pout.
“Because it’s gonna be a fucking miracle if I last more than a few seconds and I wanna be inside you when we come.”
You raise your brows. “We?”
“What did I tell you in the beginning that you’ll always have from me?”
“At least two orgasms.”
“I live up to my words.”
He’s wrapped the condom around his cock, now crawling in between your legs, the place he has claimed as his own and by far the most incredible place he’s ever resided in. He’s done this plenty of times before now, it’s nothing new; and yet, this very moment which reeks of anticipation and desire, this single moment in time when his hand is curled around his cock, guiding himself to your already soaked entrance, Javier wishes he could freeze it, keep it to himself forever.
When he slides right at home, deep inside you, you both moan in tandem. And it is the most damnable, beguiling and intoxicating sensation he’s ever known.
Probably because you’re not just another girl passing through his life and his bed. You’re not another random face or a number to the list of women he’s been with.
You’re the woman he loves, the woman he’d take a bullet for if he had to, the woman he’d move mountains for.
“Javi?”
You have this ability to bring him back with his feet to the ground whenever he tends to wander off, and Javier is nothing if not grateful for it, particularly now.
“Can you move? Please?” you plead and it’s so sweet he could come just from that.
Javier chuckles, the sound resembling that of a madman—and he supposes he is one, in a sense.
“Keep lookin’,” he instructs, a little bit of his Texan roots slipping in his tone as he starts to roll his hips. “Want you to watch how good you take me. How—beautiful you are when you take me.”
The grip you have over his shoulders tightens as his hips pick up a moderate pace, pounding into you with a mixture of greed and love. The more he sinks into you, whispering sweet nothings and giving the occasional order, the more you feel pressure building inside your belly. You do as he says, watching your body writhing beneath his in the mirror, and you shudder. His back covers a lot of the frame, so you mostly notice him from behind, pounding into you, and your nearly limp body underneath, taking him as he is giving himself to you.
The sensation of having him atop of you is stellar, something almost like it was meant for you and you alone; Javier’s stealing the occasional kiss from you, his hips more erratic with each additional thrust and his mouth whispering that he’s so close, so fucking close.
“D’you see?” he manages to get out through a wicked smile. “See how—how fuckin’ good you look hmm?”
“Yes—yes, I see it—“
“Mhm—good girl. My good fuckin’ girl.”
Javier loses any train of thought, be it rational or not, and when his orgasm finally hits, it’s all too much and too sudden, and when he can’t stop cussing or thrusting furiously into you, you cup his cheeks and tell him a simple “I love you”.
And he lets go, almost violently.
He’s struggling to catch his breath when he feels you spasming around him, and there’s pride to be felt even when he’s dumbfounded that you came almost at the same time.
“I’m sorry,” he says, and you make a face at him trying to regulate his breaths. “I was kinda hoping… I’d last longer.”
You kiss him sweetly, gently, still feeling him ache inside of you. “It’s the sexiest thing,” you murmur.
“Having the endurance of a teenage boy?”
“No, the idea that someone needs you this desperately they can’t hold themselves in one piece. I love that. And I love you.”
Javier pecks your lips. “I don’t think I’ll get used to you saying that.”
“You should.”
“I love you too.”
You stay snugged up like that for who knows how long, while the sun rays beam down on your naked bodies. And then it starts to get dark, and you’re on Javier’s lap, slowly riding him and kissing him, aiming for nothing in particular but intimacy.
