Something jarred me from my sleep. I looked up to see Carlos leaning against the door watching me.

Chapter 4

Carlos made his way over to the bed, and leaned down to kiss me. "I didn't mean to wake you Babe." I tried to pull him in closer, but he shook his head no. "I'm going to take a quick shower Babe." I was a little disappointed, but I was happy he was back. I tried to go back to sleep, but thoughts of a naked Carlos kept me up. When he opened the bathroom door my nose was assaulted with the smell of Bulgari. My hormones were in full range.

Carlos slipped into bed and pulled me close. I put my hand on his chest, and was moving it lower. "Playing with fire Babe." I kept moving down to his hard shaft. "Maybe I want to get burned" I told him. In a flash he flipped me and was on top of me, kissing me and exploring with his hands. He stroked me with his fingers and pushed one inside me. He pulled it out brought it to his lips and sucked the juices off of it, and then he slid inside me. That was all it took to make me cum. His hands were all over my body, and he was driving me crazy. He whispered something in Spanish in my ear, it sounded very erotic. I was on the verge of another orgasm when he reached in-between us massaging my clit. I screamed his name as wave after wave came over me, just when I finished climaxing he came inside of me, and it pushed me over the edge again.

I snuggled up against him laying my head on his chest. "I missed you." I told him, yawning as I said it. Carlos kissed me on top of my head. "It's late Babe, get some sleep."

Carlos woke me up to tell me he was going to workout. "What time is it?" I sleepily asked. "It's only 5:00 Babe go back to sleep." He kissed my forehead and was gone. I curled up with his pillow and fell immediately back to sleep. The next time I awoke I heard the shower. It was 7:00, I decided it was time to get up. I joined Carlos in the shower. I didn't think it could get any better, but Carlos proved me wrong in the shower. I was completely sated. He carried me to the bed because my legs felt like jelly. I watched him get dressed. "Breakfast will be here in fifteen minutes Babe." He told me. He kissed me and left the room. I finally found the strength to get up and get dressed. I quickly blow dried my hair, and stuck it in a messy ponytail.

Carlos was reading the paper and eating fruit and granola, when I came out of the bedroom. I sat down and grabbed a bagel smearing it with cream cheese. I ate about half of before Carlos put down the paper, and looked at me. "What do you want to do about Morelli Babe?" He asked me. I thought I was going to choke on my bagel. I know I talk all the time, but I don't actually like to talk about serious stuff. I like to live in denial land and act like nothing is happening. I finally managed to swallow my bagel. I looked up at him pleading with my eyes. "Babe he pushed you, and he's getting out of control." I started to say something, closed my mouth, started again but I couldn't make a sound. "I'll handle it." He told me, smiling like he just won the lottery.

It took my brain a few minutes to process what he said. I'm pissed off at Joe and I would love to see that smug look wiped off his face, but no matter how much he's done to me I don't want him hurt or worse.

"No, I don't want you to hurt him. I'll talk to him." I said quickly. "I don't want you talking to him alone. I'll go with you." He told me. "That will make things worse, I'll ask Carl to go with me. We'll meet at Pino's that way will be in a public place." He eyed me and shook his head mentioning it was ok. I thought I was in the clear, but then he said "Take Lester with you too, and I'd like you to live here permanently." Damn, I thought I was going to get away without a body guard. I knew it wasn't up for discussion; it was either Lester or Carlos. Wait did he just say he wanted me to live with him, OMG! On one hand I wanted to jump for joy, but on the other I wanted to run far away.

I knew I needed to say something. "I'll take Lester." I told him. "And?" He asked. I just wasn't sure what to say. I managed to squeak out "Can I think about it?" He nodded yes.

We went down to work, and Carlos walked me to desk. "Let me know what time your meeting Morelli." He kissed me, and was gone. Damn I thought I could stall a few days, but Carlos knows me better than that. I called Carl and explained everything. He said he would meet me at 12:30 at Pino's and he'd bring Joe. I walked over to Carlos' office. He was talking with Tank, and motioned me in. "What time?" He asked me. "12:30" I replied, and went back to my desk. I had just finished up on my third search, when I looked up to see Lester standing over me smiling. "You ready to go beautiful?" He asked. I looked at the clock, 12:15. I sighed, grabbed my purse and stood up. I let him lead the way.

We spotted Morelli and Carl at a booth in the back. Carl stood up and motioned us over. He had been sitting across from Joe, but after he signaled us he sat down next to him. I slid in opposite Joe, and Lester sat down next to me. "What now you're screwing his men too?" Joe sneered at me. "Look Joe I don't want to fight. We're over, and we've both moved on. Can't we stop all of this petty shit?" I asked him. Joe looked surprised but his facial expression turned quickly to amused. "Manoso will tire of you soon enough and you'll be crawling back into my bed begging." He said. "Joe I'll never be back in your bed." I spat back at him. "You keep telling that to yourself Cupcake, and one day you might believe it". He smiled at me.

I couldn't believe him. What was it going to take for him to finally believe we're over? "I'm moving in with Ranger." Did I just say that? I can't believe what came out of my mouth. Joe looked a little shocked, but then he smiled at me saying "You've moved in and out of my house more times than I count Cupcake. It won't last." He had me there I had always kept my apartment, and when we'd get into a fight I would move back to my place. I needed to wipe that smug look off his face. "That's true, but this is different from what we had Joe. I'm moving in with Ranger, and I'm not keeping my apartment."

Joe stood up. "Come on Carl I lost my appetite." He said, and walked out the door. Lester was smiling at me. "What do you want to eat beautiful?" He asked me. I ordered a meatball sub, and Lester ordered everything else on the menu. I honestly don't know where he puts it. I took my time eating. I was a little nervous, well a lot nervous to go back to the office. I wanted to live with Carlos, but I was scared. Now I had to give up my apartment, because I opened my big fat mouth. My apartment totally sucks, but it's mine. I know I use it as a crutch, but after what happened with Dickie I wasn't sure if I could totally trust anyone. The thing is I do trust Carlos with my life, but my heart is another story. I guess now I have to make the leap, and trust him.

Carlos wasn't in the office when we got back. I went to my desk and tried to work. My mind was racing. About an hour later my phone rang, it was Carlos. My heart sped up, and I answered it barely squeaking out a yo. "Babe, I'll be back in a few hours. We're going out to dinner at seven, wear something dressy." Before I could reply he was gone. I was excited and scared. I know Lester told him what happened. Damn, Batman's taking me out.

I finished up a few more searches, before I needed to go upstairs to get ready. I took a shower did my hair and makeup. I added a couple extra coats of mascara for courage, and went in search of something to wear. Thank God for Ella. I found the most perfect midnight blue dress hanging in the closet. It was long and form fitting with a slit all the way up to my thigh on the right side of the dress. I wore a strapless black bra, and black lace thong with it. Then found some kick ass matching FMP's to go with it. Ella is the best.

Carlos walked in the bedroom at seven on the dot. He was already dressed in a black Armani suit, crisp white dress shirt and a black silk tie. He crossed over to me and kissed me senseless. Damn, he looked H.O.T.!

Sorry it took me so long to update. I promise the next chapter will be much quicker. Please review. M.
