10,000 Kisses Chapter 77

~With Lyndsay&Nick~

"Oh my," Joy said holding her fist up to her mouth. She was struggling not to cry at the pain that she could only half imagine Lyndsay went through.

"So you see, it is all my fault. I should have helped him," Lyndsay whispered yet once again.

Nick's hold tightened around her. Halfway through Lyndsay's story, he had wrapped his arms around her knowing she needed the comfort of someone.

"Lyndsay," AJ said kneeling in front of her and taking her hands, "It isn't your fault."

"Yes it is, AJ, how can you say it isn't?" She said sobbing.

"Because I onced believed the same thing," he responded as a tear slid down his cheek.

"Wha?"

Everyone looked at AJ sharply.

He glanced around him noting the curious and concerned looks on everyone's faces.

"I had a cousin," he started, "who died of a drug overdose last year."

Nick and Howie gasped. AJ had never told them anything.

"I tried," AJ continued, "I tried so hard to help Elana...so damn hard. In the end, it wasn't enough. For weeks, I beat myself up over it thinking I could have...should have tried harder. But it didn't matter if she didn't want the help."

By this time, tears were streaming down both Lyndsay's and AJ's faces.

"I finally realized that I did what I could and nothing was going to change that," AJ finished.

Lyndsay leaned forward grabbing onto AJ hurriedly and squeezing him with a death grip as violent wails and sobs erupted from her body. AJ looked up over Lyndsay at Nick and saw Nick crying also.

Soon, the whole gang was in a big group hug.

~Hospital~

Kevin awoke as the sun started to shift allowing light to shine through blinds. He looked to his side seeing Suz sleeping peacefully and also, it seemed, without much pain. It pained him to have her go through such trying times since she has been through so much in the last year. He carefully shifted his weight as he reached his arm over to rest his hand on her stomach. He rubbed softly knowing not to hurt her. His eyes rested on the motion of his hand. After a few minutes, he become aware of someone watching him. Looking up, he smiled as he saw Suz awake and smiling back at him.

"Hi honey," Suz said whispering.

"Hi my love," Kevin said reaching up to kiss her softly. He ran his tongue teasingly across her lips as her mouth opened slightly as an invitation. Laughing, he could feel her hot breath against his cheek.

"Are you waiting for something?" Kevin teased.

"Kiss me, damnit," Suz said pulling his face down to meet hers. With a woosh, her lips clamped against his sucking fiercely on his tongue. Even now, he could arouse her to another height. Suz felt the bulge in Kevin's pants against her side.

"I see that someone's extremely happy," she said rubbing her palm roughly against his hard arousal.

"Suz," Kevin warned.

"Let me help you," Suz said quickly unbuttoning his jeans and freeing his throbbing penis.

"Not here," Kevin said glancing around the hospital room.

"No one is going to see us," Suz said assuring him as she threw a blanket over the both of them.

With a jerk, she began to pump him with her hand alternating between fast and slow. She'd reach down and cup his balls squeezing them hard, then run her hand up his penis stretching each fold. She played with the tip with her fingernail...raking it ever so slowly over the top. She swirled the little drops of precum all over his penis and continued to pump him. Just as he would almost cum, Suz would slow down as she'd hear Kevin moan for her not to stop. As he became louder vocally, Suz smashed her lips against his. With another jerk of her hand, she could feel his body thrust upwards as he tense. With a final loud groan, Kevin let his release loose as he shot all over the blanket over their bodies.

With a sigh, he laid his head back, "You didn't have to do that."

"I wanted to," Suz said kissing him on the corner of his mouth.

"I love you"

"And I love you," Suz said, "Now go get cleaned up in case the doctor comes in."

"Hey, you weren't worried about that 5 minutes ago," Kevin said laughing as he went to the bathroom.

~Outside Suz's hospital room~

"This is the only time I hate my job," Dr. Creech said looking at Suz's test results then glancing back at Dr. Evans.

"I know what you mean," Dr. Evans said heaving a loud sigh as she pushed Suz's hospital door open.
