A/N: At the request of the wonderful people who reviewed, here is another, albeit short, chapter, along with completely useless smut. I never realized reviews could present such a good motivation to write. And since y'all wanted more, I'm guessing the smut wasn't too graphic…

Disclaimer: Still not mine. I tried to buy them, but apparently, they're not for sale. Fancy that.


Batman is mine

Chapter 2

Standing in the shower after Ranger left, I couldn't help but think about what he said. He loves me. I tried not to get my hopes up too much; god knows I've been let down enough times in the love department. But somehow it felt different this time. I mean, it's not like Ranger just to blurt out something like that, and I can't see him coming back just to kiss me and say something he didn't mean.

A while ago I realized that I love two men. One of whom I've known since forever, and the other a relatively new addition to my life. I also realized that even though I love both men, I'm only in love with one of them. And Ranger, it turns out, is not exactly easy to be in love with. While he might be just the person you'd need if you wanted to invade a small country, when it comes to expressing feelings he is completely useless. Think battery operated battery charger and you get his level of uselessness. I suppose he has his reasons to be that way, but to us mortals it can be kind of annoying. That's why I really hoped that he had finally come to terms with his feelings.

He'd said he be back later and while wondering over when exactly later might be, I finished my shower and dried off on auto pilot. After dressing in shorts and a tank top, I made my way to the kitchen in search of food. Finding nothing in the fridge I consulted the freezer and decided on ice cream. Nothing like some Ben and Jerry's to take your mind of off things.

I was sitting on the kitchen countertop, eating ice cream straight from the tub when I heard someone at the front door. I froze, spoon halfway to my mouth. I wasn't sure whether I wanted it to be Ranger or a crazy stalker. I needed a bit more ice cream before I was ready to take on Ranger again, bur then again, stalkers aren't all that fun either. Before I could make up my mind, Ranger appeared at the kitchen door.

"That was quick." I said, going for nonchalant, not sure I succeeded very well.

"Yeah, didn't really feel like hanging around when there are so much better things to do."

"Oh, really? And what could that be?" I smiled. I can't believe I'm baiting Batman.

Ranger just smiled and moved to stand in front of me. He placed his hands on my bare thighs, the simple gesture sending jolts of electricity running through my body, and moved my legs further apart so he could step in between them. I suddenly remembered the spoon I held in my hand and brought it up to my mouth, moaning at the wonderful taste. I could immediately feel Ranger's reaction to my moan, pressing hard and long against my stomach. I decided to have some fun and slowly licked the spoon clean, closing my eyes and just savoring the taste. When I opened my eyes again I met Ranger's suddenly very black gaze and my breath caught at the look of raw lust.

"You're playing with fire Babe."

I smiled and leaned in to kiss him, letting him taste the ice cream on my lips. At first he stood completely still, just taking what I gave him, but after a minute he started to kiss me back, running his hands over my back. Tangling his hands in my lose curls he grabbed a handful and used it to bend my neck backwards giving him complete access to lavish my neck and throat with kisses. He ran his other hand down to my ass, and grabbing it pulled me flush with his body.

I raised my legs up around him trying to get as close to him as I possibly could. Effortlessly he picked me up from the counter and carried me to the bedroom. Laying me down on my bed he took a step back and just looked at me. I could only imagine what an image I made. My hair was wild, my lips a dark red from the kissing and the ice cream. My tank top had ridden up, showing a few inches of my skin and my shorts showing off a lot of leg. When I started to feel self conscious of his staring I propped my self up on my elbows.

"You coming or do I have to do it by myself?"

Ranger let out a low growl and was by my side within seconds, where he proceeded to undress both me and himself. My brain had a momentary meltdown when I saw Ranger in all his glory. He was absolutely gorgeous: all hard muscle and smooth skin. A beautiful but oh so deadly panther stalking its prey; and right now, I was more than happy to be his prey.

Pushing me down in the middle of the bed, Ranger slowly started to kiss his way down my body. He took my right nipple into his mouth, biting gently before sucking and licking on it until it was painfully hard and I was panting with need for him. He then gave my other nipple the same treatment, making me wish he'd never stop.

He rained kisses down my belly, but just when he was about to reach the promised land, he stopped. I whimpered at the loss of his lips on my skin, but then felt him lift my leg, kissing my calf and continuing up my leg. Giving the sensitive skin on the back of my knee extra attention, he was slowly driving me insane with need. I was already wetter than I ever remember being and he just kept up his exquisite torture. When he reached the inside of my thigh I couldn't suppress a moan and tried to lift my hips to create more contact.

I heard Ranger chuckle against my thigh. "Impatient much?" he asked before finally reaching my wet folds. I gasped and arched by back at the sudden jolt of pleasure straight to my core. He drew languid circles around my clit with the tip of his tongue, before applying more pressure, making me squirm and gasp at the sensations he was creating. Teasing my clit with his tongue he slowly pushed one long finger inside of me, hitting my G-spot immediately, making me cry out.

"Come for me Babe." he whispered in a rough voice, and to my own surprise, I did. Screaming with the suddenness of it, I desperately tried to hang on to some control, feeling the waves pass through me in a haze of sensations.

I had barely come down from my orgasm when Ranger climbed on top of me and entered me in one firm stroke, filling me completely. Neither one of us moved for a second, afraid of the intensity of the feeling.

"Christ Babe, you feel so good." he mumbled into my hair, his voice enough to make me shiver.

Slowly we started to move again, matching each other's pace effortlessly. I ran my hands over his back, feeling his muscles work as he move inside of me in long hard strokes. I grabbed his ass, trying to press him even deeper into me. He increased the pace, almost slamming into me with each stroke, making me rapidly rise towards another orgasm. He reached one hand down between our bodies, holding himself up on his other elbow, and touched his fingers to my sensitive clit, making me cry out in pleasure. I was incredibly close to coming but he just kept me on the edge, not letting me fall over. I gasped and whimpered, desperate for more contact, anything to send me flying. When he leaned down and took my nipple into his mouth while increasing the pressure to my clit, I finally felt the orgasm rip through my body, almost tearing me apart with the intensity of it. I screamed out and arched into Ranger, clinging to him desperately. My orgasm sent Ranger over the edge too, making him come deep inside of me with a low growl.

We both collapsed, sweaty, limbs tangled. I was breathing hard and trying to focus on getting my heart rate back to safe numbers when Ranger lifted his head and gave me a beautiful smile.

"You know, I really meant it earlier when I said that I love you."

"Oh… When did you realize this?"

"When I heard that you and Morelli had called it quits and my first thought was 'Good, now I can make her mine'."

I smiled at that. "Well you certainly succeeded in that."

"Right back at you." he said with a smile, reaching for me and drawing me closer. He snuggled into me and within minutes his breathing was slow and deep.

I felt a familiar grin spread across my face, I had Batman sleeping in my bed and he wasn't going anywhere. Batman really was mine.


A/N: Was that anything like what you wanted?
