Welcome to my Plum world today Stephanie is sitting in her car after a long day of Bounty Hunting thinking...
Day dreams are one of my favorite things they often entrap me into a pretend world where I have no boundaries. The lifetime expectations of my parents are nonexistent and my loyalty is never questioned, only understood. My choices and actions are uninhibited and are allowed to flourish and grow in the direction I want.
Ultimately dreaming is selfish and indulgent but what do you do when that day dream becomes a want, a goal, what would make you happy?
Sigh. Right this minute I wish I were in the big black SUV that had just pulled into traffic a few minutes ago. I would love to be sitting beside the man who is driving, fantasizing that the hunger in his eyes would soon be quenched. That tonight I would become his; that we would no longer disguise our love and we would quit subsiding our passion for one another. Magic would happen when he made love to me and afterwards he would hold me and commit to a love that is meant to be.

I looked up from my day dreaming to see Ranger. He opened my car door and tugged at my hand like Prince Charming. My heart began to race as I stood beside the car. He crowded my personal space bubble and pushed me back leaving one of his legs between mine. His hands cupped my face and tilted my head until we were almost eye to eye. His thumbs brushed back and forth on my cheeks; goose bumps broke out everywhere and the wings of anticipation fluttered inside my chest.
"Stephanie" he whispered before he laid one gentle kiss on my lips. "Don't look at me like this unless you are willing to make some changes in your life"
"How do you know … I was just day…"
He cut my words off with a lustful kiss.
His lips were soft; they completely covered my mouth. His tongue moved into me; he explored and promised of things to come with his actions. One of his hands cupped my head the other slid down to my bottom pulling me to him connecting his hunger for me with the touching of our body heat.
Sometime later he slowed down the kiss and pulled our bodies apart. Again he placed his hands on each side of my face.
"Are you ready?"
"Is this a dream?" I stretched my arms up around his neck and held on tight hoping against hope, against Karma, against the powers that be.
He smiled "No, it's not a dream" he brought me in for a full body hug.
I pulled away; I had more questions for him. "What would I be ready for?"
He sighed. "Babe."
"I want the fairy tale ending," I said looking into his beautiful dark chocolate eyes.
"I know."
"So when you ask me if I'm ready, you're asking me…."
"Everything, Babe."
