Summary: Steph and Ranger have a very bitter disagreement and then make up in a rather primal way. Also, Ranger is being a bit of an arrogant jerk, but don't worry, it's all good. BABE. I've done some minor editing to the story, mainly correcting spelling mistakes and such.
Warning: A lot of bad language and a lot of smut. This story contains graphic and rough sex. It's all consensual though, and no-one gets hurt. At least not in a bad way…:)
Disclaimer: Not mine, believe me, I'd know if they were.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned -William Congreve
Stepping inside my apartment, I slammed the door shut, trying to get an outlet for my frustration. The day had been pure hell. I hadn't managed to catch any skips and then I had a massive fight with Joe about Ranger.
A couple of weeks ago I had finally realized that Ranger was never going to let me into his life. Even though I knew he had feelings for me, he had shown me that "we" were never going to happen. I had decided to move on, and had since then been in an on-again phase with Morelli, and was pretty much planning on staying with him. I was in love with Ranger, I knew that, but I also loved Joe, and I knew we could make it as a couple if we really tried. Of course I was sad at the fact that I was never going to get a chance with Ranger, but I felt it was best that I didn't dwell on it anymore. But ever since Joe and I had decided we were going to try to make it as a couple, Ranger had been completely obnoxious. He was constantly stealing kisses in the alley, baiting me, clearly stepping in on Joe. I didn't know how to stop him from making suggestions and sexual innuendos, and today when I was dropping of a skip at the cop shop, Morelli had witnessed one of our encounters. Needless to say, he was furious.
The past three hours he had been going on and on about how I was "sleeping around" with Ranger, and how Ranger was always going to come between us. I had tried to reason with him. Tried telling him that I was just as furious with Ranger as he was, but nothing helped. So now we were once again on a break, and I was absolutely fuming. Ranger had managed to ruin my relationship, completely against my will, and the next time I saw him I was going to rip him a new one.
I was just going to grab a beer from the fridge when I noticed the man himself standing in my living room. He did the almost smile and I had to restrain myself from grabbing his throat and strangling him.
"Hey Babe."
"Don't you 'hey Babe' me" I started, "you tired of stealing kisses in the alley, thought you'd come for the real deal now?" I asked, venom in my voice.
A look of confusion flickered across his face, only to be replaced by the blank mask.
"Bad day?"
"Yeah, you could say that. But then again, you probably enjoy seeing me miserable, seeing as you do everything in your power to ruin my life."
"Babe?" he asked, blank face firmly in place. "Care to explain what's wrong?"
"You! You're what's wrong, you're the fucking reason I'm mad!" I practically yelled. Right now I didn't care if I was going to end up in a Third World country in Africa, I just needed to let him know what a jerk he was. "Thanks to your poaching and all those kisses in the alley, Joe thinks I'm screwing around with you"
"I could make that happen." Ranger stepped closer, running his finger down my neck in a gesture designed to turn me on.
"You arrogant son of a bitch, you really think you're gonna get laid?" I couldn't believe the nerve of the guy. "Who the fuck do you think you are, coming here and just expecting me to give in to you like one of your bimbos?" I asked taking a step away from him. Under the belt I know, and I really didn't know if Ranger slept with a lot of women, but right then, it felt appropriate.
"I don't sleep around" he muttered through clenched teeth.
"No, because you don't even do relationships!" I quipped. "It's not possible to sleep around when you never commit to anyone."
"Calm down." he tried. "What exactly have I done to make to mad at me?"
"You've made it perfectly clear to me that you don't want a relationship, you even sent me back to Morelli. I'm tired of waiting for you. And now, when I'm trying to really make it work with Joe, you just won't leave me alone!"
A thought suddenly hit me. "You just can't stand to see me happy, can you?" I asked, cocking my head slightly to one side, watching him thoughtfully. "You sent me away, and now you can't stand not having me.You want to be the one in my bed. That's it isn't it?"
I could see the muscles of his jaw working. "I don't know what you're talking about" he said through clenched teeth.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about." I hissed, stepping closer, stabbing him in the chest with my finger. "For some twisted reason you think that if you can't have me, no-one else can either. Well guess what? You had your chance, and you screwed up. I'll never be yours, so leave me the fuck alone already!"
Ranger took a quick step towards me and grabbed my arm, pressing me violently up against the wall, effectively trapping me between the wall and his hard body. He placed both his hands on either side of my head, pressing up against my body, and against my will I felt the familiar stirrings of lust deep in my abdomen. He had a dangerous look on his face, his eyes liquid ebony, daring me to look away. "Fine," he said, in a deceivingly soft voice "I'll leave you alone. Just tell me something." he leaned in even closer, his lips grazing my earlobe, creating shivers down my spine, coating my skin in goose bumps. "Do you wish it's me inside of you when he fucks you?"
He kissed me below my ear and my body reacted to the touch, betraying me. My nipples became hard and sensitive, and I felt the wetness between my legs. He knew the effect he had on me, and he was using it to wear down my defenses so I tried my best not to react. I knew there was no use in trying to shove him away, so I just turned my head away from him.
I felt him smile against my neck. He knew what he was doing to me, and I hated it. "Tell me you don't have the urge to scream my name when you're coming. Tell me you don't dream about me. That you don't think about that one night we shared. Tell me you don't think about how good it felt to have me deep inside of you. Tell me that and I will back off."
He had thrust his hand inside my shirt and was doing wonderful things to my nipples, making it impossibly hard for me to think. But I really didn't want to give in to him; this was just his way of taking what he wants. I'd been here before, and that time he'd left me the next morning with nothing but a go-back-to-Morelli-speech.
"No" I said, my voice rough with passion that I didn't want to feel "I don't think about you. You're nothing to me."
"Liar!" Ranger screamed, slamming his hand against the wall beside my head, making me jump. I wasn't afraid he was going to hurt me, but he did catch me unaware. I felt a brief flash of satisfaction for making Batman lose control, before he began talking again. "You're lying. You want me just as badly as I want you. You tried to make do with Morelli but he's not quite cutting it is he?" He moved his hands back to my breasts, pinching one nipple roughly, making me gasp involuntarily and try to press myself harder against him. "You're only mad at me for baiting you because you know just how good it can be. You're mad at me for pushing you away, for being the reasonable one."
"Reasonable?? You're calling turning your back on the only person you really love, reasonable?!" I was screaming at the top of my lungs now, shoving him hard in his chest with every other word, doing the Italian anger thing. "You fucking moron!"
I could see Ranger fighting for control. He was breathing hard, eyes shooting daggers at me.
"You think you have the answer to every fucking question, don't you?" he asked. He was rapidly clenching and unclenching his fists at his sides. "You live in this fairy tale where everything is black and white. Well let me tell you something, Babe…" he said, making the endearment sound childish and stupid. "...in the real world, everything doesn't always work out. Deal with it!"
"So that's your fucking answer then? Deal with it? Well I'm dealing with my problem right now." I said, looking him straight in the eye. "Leave my home now, and don't come back."
"Fine!" he said, turning around and storming out the door.
I stood perfectly still after he left, trying to understand what just happened. My heart was racing and I was panting. I felt like I had all the worries of the world on my shoulders and the one person who could help me just walked out the door.
I had barely been alone 20 seconds before Ranger came crashing back through the door, and just like that my anger was back at full force.
"You know what? I'm not gonna leave!" he said, slowly stalking towards me.
"Fine, suit yourself. I'll leave." I said, walking past him towards the door.
I had barely made it past him when he grabbed my arm and slammed me back first up against the wall, capturing my lips in a bruising kiss. He roughly shoved his tongue inside my mouth, not taking no for an answer. I was probably going to have a bruised lip tomorrow, but right then, that was exactly what I needed.
It only took me a second to answer the kiss with equal passion. Our tongues were dueling, fighting for supremacy, teeth scraping our lips. Running my hands through his long hair I took two handfuls and pulled down hard, forcing his head backwards, presenting his throat to me. I kissed and bit my way up his collar bone to where his neck and shoulder met, where I stopped. I licked at the skin, tasting the wonderful thing that is pure male. I deepened the kiss, sucking hard on the skin, making him gasp and try to pull away. I strengthened my grip on his hair, forcing him to stay still as I bit down hard on the place where I had marked him. He shivered and gripped my hip violently, the other hand at the back of my head pressing my teeth deeper into his skin. At the first taste of blood I finally released his hair and raised my head. He was breathing hard and lowered his head, looking at me with fire in his eyes.
He grabbed the bottom of my shirt and pulled it over my head, discarding the bra as well, leaving me in only my jeans. He brought his head down and sucked my nipple into his mouth, using his hand to pinch the other one hard. Sensations washed over me, leaving me breathless and wanting more. More contact, more pleasure, more pain, anything. I shoved him away from me and started to unbutton his cargos with frantic moves. When I could get my hand inside I reached in and grabbed his very impressive hard on. He growled and tried to press himself more firmly against my hand while kissing me. He sucked my tongue into his mouth, sucking hard on it, almost making me come on the spot. His hands were back on my breasts, driving me crazy with need for him. His thigh was pressed between my legs, putting heavenly pressure on my acing clit, but I still needed more.
"I need you inside me." I panted. "Now!"
Ranger quickly unbuttoned my jeans and pulled them off. Lifting me off the ground, he placed my legs around his waist, my back supported by the wall. Not bothering with removing my panties, he just pushed them aside and buried himself to the hilt inside of me. Without pausing to let me get used to the sheer size of him, he started to pump into me with long, hard strokes, making me feel fuller than ever. The feeling was incredible. Raw, primitive and devastatingly sexy. Raking my nails across his back I was sure to leave marks, if not draw blood. I tried not to pass out from the merciless sensations coursing through my body and cried out when Ranger reached down and assaulted my extremely sensitive clit with vigor.
Whenever I masturbate there's that point when everything gets too intense, my clit gets too sensitive and I have to back down, afraid of the feeling. Ranger didn't stop. He just kept fucking me against the wall, kept abusing my clit until I could taste the adrenalin at the back of my throat and felt my whole body tense, completely out of my control. I felt the heat start deep in my abdomen and race through every single part of my body, making every part of me tingle and throb. I just kept rising and rising higher than I've every been before, and I hadn't even come yet.
Ranger's lips found the sensitive skin on my neck and licked and sucked. He bit down hard, the pain mixing with the pleasure, enhancing it, creating an all time high. I felt like I was on fire. Every fiber of my being focused on feeling him inside of me, his fingers on my clit and his teeth on my neck. I came violently, shaking and screaming his name, the intensity breathtaking. The waves crashed over me again and again, not letting me come down even for air. I felt Ranger stiffen and then felt him come deep inside of me, sending me into a new wave of ecstasy. I felt like I was on a never ending roller coaster of pleasure and pain, mixed in a deeply addictive combination. Brutal sensations shattering my body, ripping me apart.
What felt like hours later finally came down from the high, the occasional aftershock making my body tremble. We were both breathing hard, leaning against each other, trying to regain movement in our limbs. Ranger carefully put me down before taking a step backwards.
"I can't feel my legs." I said, wonder in my voice. Not the smartest thing to say, but then again, Ranger had literally fucked my brains out just minutes before.
Ranger just smiled and rested his forehead against mine.
I looked up at him through my lashes, a mischievous smile on my lips. "I'm still pissed at you, you know."
