*WARNING* - HUGE Spoiler for Top Secret 21!

Warning for Smut, too!

This is the way I think this scene from the newest book should have gone. Morelli isn't mentioned, because in my world he's in the past where he belongs!

Italics are taken directly from Top Secret 21.

All characters belong to JE. All mistakes are mine. I get nothing from this except for the warm fuzzy feeling reading reviews!

Ranger smiled. "There are times when I seriously consider marrying you, but then I get yet another black mark on my path to enlightenment and forgiveness and I scratch marriage off my bucket list."

"Really? You think about marrying me?"

"Marrying you might be extreme, but once in a while I think about sharing my closet."

I turned to ask Hal to give us a minute alone, but he had already left the room. Sometimes Hal is a smart man. If he was really smart, he'd come back much later with gelato. I also noticed that the little Do Not Disturb sign was missing from the doorknob. Hal deserves a raise.

I walked up to Ranger and put my arms around his neck. "So, you think about sharing your closet, huh?" I kissed the spot where his collarbones met.

Ranger wrapped his arms around my waist. "More and more each day, Babe."

I ran my hands down his chest, feeling the hard planes of his muscles. "You know that some of my Rangeman uniforms are hanging in there already, right?" I placed an open mouthed kiss to his Adam's apple.

Ranger gave me a sound halfway between a growl and a purr. It vibrated from my lips straight to my doodah. "I suppose you do."

I kissed him at the corner of his jaw. "And you know that little blue distraction outfit you like so much?" He nodded, and his hands slid down to cup my ass. "That's hanging in your closet next to your really hot Armani suit."

I slid my arms around his waist and under his shirt. The heat of his skin made me shiver. He licked the shell of my ear and said, "You should wear that again, soon."

I bit his earlobe gently. He pulled me in even closer, then slid my shirt off. "The shoes that match the dress are right next to your dress shoes."

I helped Ranger take his shirt off. I needed the skin to skin contact. He put his hands on my breasts and rubbed my nipples with his thumbs. I threw my head back at the sensation, and he sucked one lace covered nipple into his mouth and released it. I couldn't stop the gasp. "Those are nice shoes, you should wear them, too."

Ranger unbuttoned my pants and slid them down my hips. I stepped out of my shoes and pants at the same time. I kissed him lightly on the lips and made him take a step towards the bedroom. "Did you know that there's a drawer in your closet that's filled with my lingerie, both Rangeman panties and my Victoria's Secret best?"

Ranger unclasped my bra and took another step towards the bedroom. "That's my favorite drawer in there." He stepped out of his shoes.

We took one more step and Ranger's back was against the bedroom door. I unbuttoned his cargos and slid them down his legs. Since Ranger always goes commando, his cock sprang free, resting against my stomach. I looked into his eyes as I slid down his body. "It seems to me that I already share your closet."

He buried his hands in my hair, his eyes black with desire. "It would appear that you do."

I licked him from the base to the tip of his cock, using the flat part of my tongue to cover every inch that I could. He hissed in pleasure. "Are you sure you only want to share your closet with me, Ranger?" I licked the moisture that had gathered at the tip and slipped the head into my mouth.

Ranger groaned as I slid more of his length down my throat. His hands tightened in my hair. "No."

I released him from my mouth with a soft pop. "No?" He picked me up and held me until I wrapped my legs around his waist. He ripped my panties from my body.

He slid his length into me in one smooth motion. I moaned and wrapped my arms around him tighter. He carried me into the bedroom and laid me on the bed, staying inside me the whole time. He thrust deeply inside me and then pulled all the way out. I whimpered at the loss. "No, Babe, I don't want to only share my closet with you."

He pulled my breast into his mouth again, and bit down on my nipple. My back arched off the bed. "What else do you want to share with me?"

He kissed his way down my body and nipped my belly button. "I want to share my shower with you." He continued to kiss his way lower.

He nipped the inside of my thigh, then pressed a kiss to it. I wrapped my hands in his hair. "Your shower?"

He swirled his tongue around my core. "I want to share my bed with you." He continued to lick as he slid a finger inside me.

He added a second finger and nibbled one of my outer lips. When he sucked my nub into his mouth, I came screaming his name. He kissed his way back up my body. He slid into me again. I wrapped my legs around him again and hissed out, "Yes".

He started to thrust into me. He ground out, "Share Ella with you."

I met his movements. The pressure was building to a Doomsday Orgasm. "Yes", I moaned.

He moved harder and faster. I was so close. "Share everything."

He hit the right spot and tore the orgasm from me. I screamed over and over. "Yes!" I could feel my walls clenching him, wringing his orgasm from him.

I think I may have blacked out at the end, because the next thing I know he was laying next to me, cradling me in his arms. I kissed his chest. "So, you're thinking about sharing your closet with me?"

He chuckled. "Babe, I should know that nothing ever goes according to plan with you."

I pushed him until he was flat on his back and climbed onto his chest. Looking into his eyes I asked, "You had a plan?"

He pushed one of my curls behind my ear. "Yes, I had a plan. I was going to invite you to dinner. Ella was baking you a cake. I had finally convinced myself that I was ready for someday, and the only one I wanted to share it with was you."

I managed to croak out, "Me?"

He smiled again. "Yes, you. You've always been the woman I want to share my life with. I love you. No qualifiers."

A tear rolled down my cheek and landed on his neck. "I love you, too."

He wiped up my tears. "Will you marry me? I have a ring for you, but it's locked in the safe in my apartment. I'll give it to you when they let us back in the building."

"You bought me a ring?"

"I bought you a ring years ago. I just wasn't able to convince myself I was ready."

I was confused. "What's changed?"

"I can't convince myself that I can spend another day without you. You still haven't answered me. Will you marry me?"

I kissed him. "Yes."
