AN: All recognizable characters are J.E., all others are mine.
My name is Stephanie Plum. I'm 33 and a LT in the U.S. Navy. I'm also a Navy Seal and the Leader of my Seals Team. I was born and raised in Trenton, New Jersey. I went to college for 2 years after high school. I'm not good with school, so I joined the Navy. Soon I became the first female Seal. My parents still live in Trenton, as well as my sister Valerie. My mom wanted me to get married and have kids, but I wanted to be Wonder Woman and fly. Wonder Woman was out of my reach so I chose the Navy. My mother didn't like my decision but my dad was very proud of me. My dad retired from the Navy and he was a Seal. I am the best, not cocky, but I know how good I am at my job. I'm currently stationed in Norfolk, Virginia which is fine by me. I don't complain much. After seeing some of the shit I have seen, I don't see much point in bitching about trivial things. I made a deal with my mother when I joined the Navy; I would come home on holidays as long as I wasn't 'in the wind' and she wouldn't gripe about my job. So far, that has worked out well for us. Recently, she has reminded me I'm not getting any younger and I should retire, get married, and have children before I am too old. I have yet to enlighten her to the fact that I have absolutely no desire to get married or have children. It's not in my life plan. My life is very dangerous, I have many enemies, I leave at a moment's notice and never know when or if I will return. I'm the female equivalent to men that are considered playboys. Women have needs just as men do, shower massagers only work part of the time. I am not a slut, the men I sleep with I have usually slept with before and they know me, plus there is no such thing as no condom in my book, I also don't do relationships I don't have the time.
My family lives in the 'Burg' in Trenton, In the Burg women grow up get married, have 2.5 children and a white picket fence. Now knowing that do you see why it doesn't fit in my life plan. I live day to day and enjoy my life, it is exciting and fun. My sister Valerie, Saint Val, followed in my mother's footsteps, she has 3 kids and is married, to her second husband, once again doesn't fit with me. I was almost married while in college until I found my soon to be husband playing hide the salami with my arch enemy Joyce 'the slut' Barnhardt. Needless to say that pushed me to do what I really wanted to do which was join the Navy. I don't have much luck in relationships with men which is why my lifestyle works well for me. No serious relationships just a mutual agreement to satisfy each other and then go our separate ways. My mom wants me to fall into the 'Burg' mold, not gonna happen. My dad well he doesn't care as long as I'm happy, which I am, so he is happy. He understands my lifestyle and choices since he was in the military. Now my grandma Mazur, she is a free spirit, once my grandpa went to the big buffet in the sky she broke loose. She is fun a little crazy but fun. She understands my need to be my own person and is proud of me.
As far as friends go I have my best friend Mary Lou, we were best friends our whole lives, she followed in the 'Burg mold', she has no problems with how I live my life. We aren't as close as we used to be because she is fine with how I live my life but doesn't quite understand why I didn't do the same as her. Most of my friends are also in the Navy. My best friend now is also my second in command Cal, we will come back to that later. I led interesting life even before I joined the Navy. The man my mom considers perfect for me, who I should get out of the Navy and marry, is Joseph Morelli. A little bit about him, when I was 6 we played choo choo in his garage in which I was the tunnel and he was the train, I was in a dress, I'm sure you can figure out the rest. He also took my virginity when I was 16 behind the éclair counter at the tasty pastry and then proceeded to write it all over bathroom walls. After that he left and joined the military without a backwards glance, 2 years later he came home on leave and I ran over him with my father's Buick and broke his leg. My mother thinks I should get out of the Navy and marry Joe and have children. Not gonna happen I will not date nor marry him under any circumstances which my mother is furious about. We have had many disagreements about this, but I don't back down so she is just going to have to get the hell over it. If you can't tell I don't do well with what I am supposed to do in following a mold, I am my own person. Marriage isn't for me and neither are kids, my life is to dangerous and even once I'm out of the Navy I don't see it being any less dangerous with the enemies I have who would be more than happy to go after anyone I care about. Also, I don't like kids much, I tolerate my nieces because that's what you do but more than a few hours I wouldn't survive it. So that's my back story. Now to the present.
I just got called for a mission I have to go rescue the Army Rangers, jackasses. They think they are the best. Yet, when they get stuck my team and I have to go bail their asses out. This is the third time I've had to bail this particular team out. I have never met them personally, but other members of my team have. I am one hell of a sniper and when we bailed them out before I was able to hide, shoot, and get them out…all without them meeting me. They think they are dealing with a man and my team thinks it's funny.
My team is the best, as I said, and unique to boot. They have nicknamed me Bombshell or Bomber, as I'm able to take a bomb apart in about 30 seconds. But frankly, things also have a tendency to blow up around me. Odd I know. I'm 5'7 and about 135 lbs but don't let that fool you, I can kill with my bare hands and have before. I'm small but lethal. My second in command is a man named Cal. He has a flaming skull tattooed on his forehead. Most people are scared of him but not me. I was with him when he got the tattoo and I have no fears when it comes to him. He is a great guy and would take a bullet for me in a heartbeat. He lives in Trenton now. Since he is not active duty he only comes when I need him for a mission, He apparently works for the Rangers we are going to rescue. He frequently tries to get me to move back to Trenton and get a job with him. I'm not ready to retire yet. Next is Hal. Hal is sweet and shy, until you get him drinking. He is great guy…but huge. He also lives in Trenton. Then, there is Antonio also known as Toni. Toni is the playboy of my team. He is hot and can get just about any girl underneath him in seconds. He is still active, like me, and we both are stationed at Norfolk. Last, but not least, is Jason AKA Slick. He is slick in more ways than one but I'm not going there. He is stationed in D.C but comes when missions call for him. All the men on my team are hot and built.
My A team and I, which is the team I will be going to rescue the rangers with, have been together since we became Seals. I also have a B Team, which is being trained to perform our duties so we can retire happily. I don't usually go on missions with my B team but help them plan their missions. I love the Seals and don't want to retire but can't help the feeling I'm getting to old for this shit. I may just stay in to plan missions, and only do the occasional mission so I can still kick ass. My team is scheduled to arrive tomorrow at 0700 hours. I got the call today about going to rescue them damn Army Rangers , who got captured in Columbia. Our mission is to get them out and, while we are getting them out, another team will be completing the mission the first team was sent to do. It's the life of being in the military. Once my team arrives we will be briefed, spend the day planning and then the following day we will leave for our mission. We have ritual before we leave for a mission After our briefing, we go to my house…since I live off base in a roomy house. We drink some tequila, all but one of my men will spend the night with random women and I spend the night with Cal. This way we all leave happy. To some it may be crazy but it works for my team.
The information I have on the team we are rescuing isn't much. Their 'Fearless Leader" is one Ricardo Carlos Manoso AKA Ranger, his second in command Pierre Thomas, AKA Tank, Lester Santos, Bobby Brown, the medic, and Michael Ramsey ,AKA Ram. I'll find out more when my team arrives, since of two of them work with these men. But for now I've got to get some sleep. Tomorrow, I will wake up; work out and about the time I step out of the shower my team will arrive. I have missed them, except for Toni I see him daily.
Damn alarm clock! Its 0500, which for me means time to crawl my ass out of bed and go down to my basement to my gym. By 0600, I'd just finished my workout time for a shower. At 0645 showered, shaved, moisturized and exfoliated, fixed my hair which means straightening my curly hair, and threw on some camo cargoes and a tan shirt. 0659 hours there is the doorbell. My boys are here. "Hey guys" I said with a huge smile
A chorus of "Hey Bomber" was heard, as they all walked in the front door carrying a bakery box of donuts and coffees. My men know me well.
"Alright guys, I'm sure you have heard what we have to do. We will be briefed at 0800; it will take most of the day. After that, you know the ritual we will follow. Right now I want to know more about the men I'm risking my ass to save."
Cal was the first to speak "Steph, they are good guys. Ranger owns Rangeman, the company I work for. He's good. So, I'm not sure what the hell happened. He's private, quiet and tends to be cocky because he knows he is the best. Tank is Big. His name says it all not much to say about him. Lester is the jokester and also the playboy. You and he would probably hit it off. Bobby is a medic, he would rather save lives than take them but he can do both very well. Ram is a sniper and damn good at it. They are good. I'm curious as to how the hell they got themselves into this mess."
"Well I don't care how they got into it, but we have to get them out. And contrary to their beliefs my team is the best. Once we rescue their sorry asses, I'll make sure they know it too." I said with a smug grin on my face. My men just laughed. Now, it's time for small talk until we debrief.
"Well do any of you have any ladies your lives? For longer than one week?" I asked. They all shook their heads. Just as well, I figure.
Slick then asked "Well Bomber, Have you found you a man to keep around more than a week?"
I laughed "I've kept you all around for some time now, haven't I? But other than you all…nope. I don't do relationships, you know that. I'm a ticking time bomb." They all just shook their heads. We finished eating, making small talk and then left for our briefing. At 1900, we were finally out of our briefing armed with lots of Intel. We leave at 0400 to head off to Columbia. My men except for Cal had already called whatever women they were planning on having for the night to meet us at a hotel. We had connecting rooms, but we all sat in mine and drank tequila. Once we had a good buzz going we separated to our own rooms so we could all do what we came to do then head to my house for a little rest before we leave. Once me and Cal were alone I figured we should talk a little.
"So Cal, you miss me?"
" You know Steph, I did miss you, I wish you would retire or at least go down to where you only come in for missions, then you could move back to Trenton and we could have more time together."
"Aww are you going soft on me?"
"No, I'm not going soft just miss you, this last year I had to adjust to not being around you as much after years of being with you regularly and I miss my friend and the benefits that come with that"
"I miss you too Cal. It's weird not having you around all the time. I am thinking about maybe retiring but I don't know. I know I'm getting to old for the action shit but I love the military. And, if I do get out I don't see me going back to Trenton, I don't want to deal with my family and the pressure to marry."
"I know baby, your family is awful but I would like to have you near me, Rangeman has offices in Miami and Boston too, I could transfer and you could come there and see about a job with them. Just think about it."
"Okay, I will think about it now shut up and kiss me"
And boy did he, Cal can kiss like no other man and can satisfy me like no other man can. Sometimes I wonder if we could be in a relationship but I don't want to lose our friendship. I push those thoughts aside and focus on the goal which is me and Cal naked. He slowly removed my clothes off of me and him and kissed his way up my body until he got to the promise land where he sucked and licked until he had me screaming through my orgasm. He settled himself above me and slowly entered. Stopping to give me a minute to adjust, we started soft and slow and ended hard and fast. After our breathing returned to normal from the amazing orgasm we got dressed to go back to my house to sleep.
The other guys were in the lobby waiting on us so we left the hotel and headed for my house. Of course the ladies were left in hotel rooms sated and sleeping. We all got back to the house and went to bed.
All the bags were packed up in my Lincoln Navigator and we would be leaving my house 0345 so we could arrive in the hangar by 0400 to hop on our plane. Once we arrive in Columbia, we will be dropped off and make our way on foot to where we believe the Rangers are being held. Then, we'll do surveillance. Once we have the necessary proof of where they are and know in depth the security around where they are being held we will follow our plan or make a new plan and get the men out as safely as possible.
