Chapter dedicated to Margaret Fowler, thanks for the push!

And thanks for the comments and story/author alerts. Typing as fast as my little finger can go! ; )

I was stiff and hot, I slowly came awake to darkness, for a minute I thought I was blind, but when my sleep ridden eyes came into focus I was looking at brown chest. I couldn't move let alone breath but I didn't care, I was wrapped in the arms of a Cuban sex god. I snuggled a little closer and closed my eyes, Ranger had finally given me my someday. I haven't left his side these past weeks for no longer then a minute, I didn't go back to work with Vinnie, Had no contact whatsoever to the "Burg" grapevine, and only spoke to Lula, Connie, Grandma, and my Dad. My mother Helen, had diminish all contact with me when she found out from Mrs. Polaski, who heard from her daughter Mary Ann, who heard from Big Dog, who heard from Suzy the nurse at the hospital, that Joe and I had a falling out and that I had been having an affair with Ranger and was now engage because I didn't want my bastard child to be fatherless. Ranger laughed it off and asked can we be married in black and name the child Ranger.

I squirmed up his body and looked at his face, I put my face into his neck and breathed him in, I was instantly calm. It had been three weeks ago, I watched the love of my life walk into my old dainty apartment and get shot. I shuddered at the thought, I had been having the same nightmare off and on since the Scrog accident. I felt Ranger move, he still had a small bandage on his shoulder, but was recovering nicely. Some would say he was a impatient and short-tempered patient, but when we were alone he let me take care of his then threaten punishment if I told the Merry Men.

I placed a wet kiss onto his neck, "Playing with fire babe."

"Mmmm, Ranger, I can feel your up," he just squeezed me tighter, "Ranger your squeezing the air out of me."

"Can't have that can we."

He grinded his erection into my stomach making me purr, I could wake up like this for the rest of my life…

"Me too babe"

"I said that aloud didn't I?"

"Yeah babe," he pulled us into a sitting position, "Come on babe and let's shower, Ella will be here with Breakfast in a minute.

"Yum Ella breakfast."

I followed close behind him watching as the muscles on his naked body rippled as he walked, he walked in the shower and the water flowed and the steam admittedly followed. I had to remove my Rangeman panties because he banned all clothing from his bed, but I negotiated until he said I could wear only panties with the names Victoria Secret, Ranger, or Rangemen on them. So now I have a drawer in his closet filled with lacy colored underwear, and barely there lacy black panties that had Ranger or Rangemen stitched on them even the thongs. And although we went to sleep partially naked, sex was an unspoken request, and I've been to Tasty Pastries some much in the last week that I was named Customer of the Week, it'll be a month if I don't have some hot Cuban sex soon. When ever I ate them in Ranger's presence he would say, "babe that'll kill you." and then kill me senseless and lick the icing off my mouth. I was so sexual frustrated that I almost had a orgasm eating a Boston Crème while looking at a naked Ranger.

We were just finishing the breakfast Ella fix, when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in…"

"uh Boss?" Tank, Lester, and Bobby stood in the doorway with serious expressions on their faces.

"Report!" Ranger barked, I jumped a little still not use to it.

"The police are here to see Bomber, they want to question her about the disappearance of Richard Orr."

I looked around shock, "Why would they want to talk to me?"

"Babe, a few days ago, we got a job, the client wanted to know whether or not Orr was skimming off them."

"But what's that got to do with me?"

"That's not all boss," Tank looked really mad, "Morelli's here also demanding to take Steph into his custody."

"WHAT!" I was mad now, Morelli was only here to stir up trouble.

"Babe calm down, let's go see what he wants." He pulled me to his side, and we all walked to the elevator and took the trip to five. On the elevator ride Ranger informed me that his client was pretty sure Dickie was skimming off money and putting it away for himself. Rangeman's job was to monitor activities but before the assignment started the client canceled and they haven't heard from the client since.

"There in the conference room, Morelli and two other cops." Lester whispered before we got to the door.

Ranger walked in followed by Lester, then me and Bobby and Tank began in the rear. Joe stood to the left and Eddie and Big Dog were at the conference table, they had been talking I watched as their eyes widen when Ranger, Tank, Lester and Bobby walked in with me.

I sat across Eddie, "Hey Eddie, Big Dog," I purposely ignored Morelli, " What are you guys doing here?"

"Hey Stephanie, we are here to question you about the disappearance of one Richard Orr, he was last seen two days ago, and the missing persons report was filed by Joyce Barnhardt, she hinted that maybe you know his whereabouts."

"What? What does Joyce have to do with anything?" Ranger's hand reached over to rest on my thigh and I saw Joe's jaw clench when I jumped in response.

"Well it appeared that Ms. Barnhardt and Mr. Orr was in a relationship and when she went to a will reading at Mr. Orr's office that was conducted incase something happened, you were named sole benefactor and will receive everything he owns if he doesn't show up in the next 3 weeks."

Silenced followed after Eddie finished what he was saying, I looked to Ranger with a shocked expression on my face. He pulled me into his lap, I buried my face in his neck so that I could comprehend the fact that Dickie hasn't changed his will and that conniving bitch Joyce probably just step me up.

"Why is Detective Morelli here if this is a missing person case?" Tank asked.

"I'm here because I can." I could hear his harsh response as if it was directed at me.

"The detective is here because after the forensic team went through the house, they found traces of blood in the doorway. The neighbors reported seeing a black tinted around the time we determined the accident happened." Eddie spoke before Joe could, "So Miss Plum can you tell me your whereabouts around 0200 hours two days ago?"

I looked up at Ranger, "two am babe, and she was sleep in bed."

Morelli looked at us in anger, "Jumped in his bed mighty quick, huh, Cupcake?"

"Shut it Detective, or I am going to ask you to wait outside until we finished." Eddie turned to glare at Joe, while he glare at me sitting in Ranger's lap, and Ranger stared at Joe with a smirk on his beautiful lips.

"Not that its any of your business, but yes I was in Ranger's bed, and I'm sure Ranger will let you review any security tapes. But why does his disappperence have to do with me?"

"Well Joyce stress the fact that you caught them in a very compromising position and left on unfriendly terms, so she suspects your jealous and out for revenge."

I started to laugh, "Really? Huh, well thanks for coming."

"Ok well, that'll be all, thanks for talking with us, I will contact you with any updates pertaining to the case."

I watched as Eddie and Big Dog walk out the door, Joe took his time, "Cupcake you think this'll last, you know Manoso, you'll fuck up and I'll be waiting."

"Run along Morelli don't you have a appointment at the Motel 6 by Highway 133?"

I saw Joe pale and look at me, I looked back, "What's at Motel 6? Terry?"

He didn't say anything, he just walked out. Tank, Lester, and Bobby walked out afterwards. I leaned back and looked up into Ranger's chocolate eyes and just stared, I can't believe how lucky I am.

"Can't believe it either babe."

"I said that aloud didn't I?""Yep," his `p¢ popped, "I want to take you somewhere tonight."

"Where?" I was bouncing in his lap and his erection was announcing itself.

"Babe stop bouncing, and no I won't tell so get up and go to work." he stood up with me in his arms and put on my feet. I tiptoed and kissed him, his arms wrapped around me and the kiss deepened.

"Steph, babe go work, the sooner you finish the faster we can go." He smack me on my bottom and walked me to a cubicle, "Call my office around five, bye babe." He kissed me one last time and walked down the hall towards his office.
