Warning-Smut Alert!

Chapter 4

Ella had brought cinnamon rolls and juice and coffee. She ate a little more this morning. Bobby gave her a pain pill after she ate and she went to lay back down. He walked into the room. "The best thing you can do for healing is to sleep, Steph. Take your pain pill and I can stay with you for a while?" She watched as he sat the bottle down on the night stand and smiled.

"Okay, would you lay down here with me, please." He nodded and lay down and gathered her close to him. He rubbed her back gently until she went to sleep.

"Noooo…Joe! Please…don't…please." Strong hands stopped her thrashing and gently shook her awake.

"Steph, it's Bob. No one is going to hurt you again." He pulled her close and she lay breathing hard against his muscular chest.

"Go back to sleep, Steph."

She woke a while later alone in the bed. There was a knock and Ella called out and poked her head in. "I have food and a lunch buddy for you."

Hal popped his head in the bedroom door. "Hey, Steph, you mind if we eat together? I wanted to spend my dinner break with you."

"How sweet. That would be great. Ella's the best, huh?"

"She sure is and so are you." She couldn't help it and kissed him on the cheek. "You're so sweet, Hal." They ate and chatted about nothing in particular and then she hugged him before he went back to work.

She was watching TV when Lester, Bobby and Tank came in and joined her. Lester pulled her on to his lap and pulled her head against his chest. Tank found a movie they all agreed on and Bobby made some popcorn in the microwave and brought some sodas. She looked at all her guys. They were going to be her lifeline to some kind of future. She stayed awake watching the movie as long as she could and then fell asleep in Lester's strong arms.

Later, she rolled over and stretched and found herself in her bed alone. She reached for a pain pill from the night stand and took it and rolled over again. She felt a familiar warm tingle in her sleep and then heard that low sweet voice that she missed so much. "Babe, before I have to go I just wanted to tell you that I love you and thank you for loving me."

"Oh, please don't go. Please don't leave me."

"You're going to be okay now. You're safe." Then she felt his warm breath close to her lips where he left a gentle kiss and then he moved away and was gone. She sobbed. "I did love you and you meant everything to me. What am I going to do now? How am I going to live without you in my life and now my dreams?"

Bobby came in the next morning after she ate breakfast. "I'll help you bathe this morning and I can check your injuries at the same time." She nodded. She didn't care anymore who saw her naked. She was not exactly what you would call a turn-on right now with all her bruises and red and blue swollen face.

Bobby ran her bath while she undressed. He began to look her over and she said, "Pretty ugly, huh?"

He gave her a warm smile. "The bruises are ugly, but the woman is definitely not." She snorted.

"Get in the tub, Steph."

He sat down next to the tub and smiled at her.

"You're a really hot guy, Bobby, and you're sweet and gentle. How come some pretty girl hasn't snapped you up yet?"

"The lifestyle, I guess."

"That was Ranger's line. You guys don't think you deserve to be happy and have women that love you and children? You are the best men I know with the biggest hearts."

"Thank you. You always saw us different than most people."

He grabbed the bath sponge and began washing her. When he ran it over one of her breasts she jumped. "I'm sorry, did I hurt you? Did I touch a tender place?"

"Yeah, but not the kind of tender you're thinking."

A knowing smile began to spread across his face. "Sorry Steph."

"Uh..don't be. That will probably be the highlight of my day. I would have expected never to feel…you know… after what Joe did to me."

"Then I don't feel bad. Anytime you want to feel even a little better than that you let me know." He winked at her. "I'm at your service."

She closed her eyes. "Anything to make me forget for a little while would do." She reached out to him and squeezed his hand. He raised it to his lips and kissed it.

She pulled his hand into the tub and moved it between her legs and he didn't pull away. He touched her and began to create wonderful sensations and then his soft lips brushed hers. The kiss became deeper and then his tongue was exploring while the hand was bringing her closer to the edge. He held the back of her neck and took her orgasm into his mouth when it came. After a couple of minutes she opened her blue eyes and looked at him and smiled.

"Thank you, Bob. You have nice hands and that base covered." He gave her a warm smile.

"My pleasure. Come on and let's get you out and dressed. Since we are a little more familiar now, do you mind if I take a look at your backside? I want to see how you're healing."

"Ugh, this is so embarrassing."

"I'm so sorry. I can tell you that if we're lucky enough to meet his sorry ass in a dark alley one night, whichever one of us present with the biggest cock is going to fuck him for payback."

She looked in his eyes and knew he was serious. None of these guys were average in that area either. She barked with laughter and then bent over and presented her naked ass to him. "I hope to be there, Bobby."

That night Lester came in to check on her late and lay down next to her. He looked so tired. "Lester, take your clothes off and just get in and get comfortable." He smiled at her and removed his clothes down to his boxers and crawled under the covers and reached for her.

She woke up half on top of him and felt sad when she looked at him. It was the way she had always woke up when Ranger slept with her. She was about to pull away when his grip tightened around her waist. She looked up into his beautiful hazel eyes and then to his full sensual lips. She touched his lips and his face and then put her hands in his soft hair and gently kissed him. That was enough for him.

He took over the kiss and traced her lips with his tongue and parted them and kissed her passionately and explored her and then captured her tongue and sucked it gently, not wanting to let go and losing himself in the kiss. He whispered, "Oh God, Steph. You taste so good. I have wanted to kiss you like this for so long." She moved her hand down his chest to his boxers where his erection was prominent.

"No, beautiful girl. You're hurt and I won't take advantage of you. You need to heal." She reached inside his boxers and wrapped her hand around his large cock and stroked him.

He groaned, "We can do this, Les."

"But…" She grabbed his hand and pulled it down her stomach and into her soaked panties. He groaned again. "Agh..shit, Steph. I'm just a man..Dios..I have to taste all of you."

Then he pulled the covers aside and moved down her body and gently pulled her panties down her legs and slowly kissed his way back up to her center. He kissed her with tenderness and licked her slick folds and then began to worship her with his tongue. "Les, that feels so good. I never pictured you so tender."

He raised his head. "Gorgeous, there is a lot you don't know about me."

"I want to know you. Please, don't stop." He grinned at her and pushed her knees up and pulled her to him with his strong arms and buried his head and sucked her little swollen nub as he reached up and gently caressed a breast and small hard nipple. "More Les..."

"I know what you want, beautiful." He put his fingers inside of her and move them with long determined strokes and she arched her back and moaned as her legs began to quiver and he brought her closer to the sensual heights that she hadn't experienced in so long. When she finally cried her release, he pulled her into his arms and told her how special she was to him and he would never let anyone hurt her again.

"Lester, that was special. Thank you so much."

"De nada, hermosa (you're welcome, gorgeous/beautiful). I care about you very much."

"I know. The feeling is mutual." When he went to the bathroom, she grabbed the bottle on the night stand and took a pill and washed it down.

They snuggled and she drifted into a dreamless sleep.

There was no one there when she next woke up. Her first thought was that Ranger had not come to visit her. Bobby came in the door and she looked up at him with sad frantic eyes.

"Bobby, please. He's gone now forever. I can't feel anything but pain."

"What do you mean, Steph?"

"Love me, please."

"Steph, you're hurt and you're so fragile right now physically and emotionally. I would never forgive myself if I added to that suffering."

"I..sorry..I guess I just need something for the pain."

"Okay." He gave her a pain pill with some water.

"I'll stay with you for a while to get you bathed and fed. Got something special coming for breakfast. Then we'll play some cards or a game or something."

"Doctor's orders, I guess," she said.

"Damn skippy", he winked, mocking her with one her favorite phrases.

"What's the breakfast?"

"Shit on a shingle."

She made a face like she was trying to form a visual. "Excuse me? What is it like gourmet bird poo or something? Don't think so buddy. Not eatin' that crap you guys consume in the bush." He burst out laughing.

"Not what you're thinking, kid. It's hamburger in gravy on toast. It's hearty Army food. Had it all the time in basic."

"Is Ella cooking it?"

"Yes."

"Then I don't care what it is. I'll eat it."

Tank came in as she was cleaning her breakfast plate. He came over and kissed her on the cheek. "How you feeling, baby girl?"

"Hi, big guy. I'm a lot better. The pain is more centered around my heart again."

"I know. It's takes much more time for a heart to heal than a bruise."

"I guess. I don't really feel like anything will be the same again. I don't know where to go from here."

"Things won't ever be exactly the same. You have all of us now and we'll help you to find some happy again, doll."

He gave her a big bear hug and left. She took a pain pill and went to lay down.

Hal came to visit her in the afternoon. She was laying on the bed when he peeped in the door. "Steph, you okay? I've been so worried about you." His eyes were sad and so serious.

"Oh Hal, come here." He sat on the bed and she took his face in her hands and kissed him and then put her arms around him to comfort him. "I..care about you Steph."

"I know and I love you too, Hal." She put her arms around his neck and kissed his lips gently and then deepened the kiss and he responded and then she pulled his shirt slowly over his head and then kissed his massive abs. "Steph, wait. We can't..."

"You're very handsome, Hal. Can I see the rest of you?"

"Steph?"

"It's okay." She unzipped him and pulled his cargos down and crawled in his lap and placed her arms around his big neck and then asked him to help her and he lowered her onto him and gasped as she immediately began to ride him at first gently and then harder to orgasm. After she climaxed and squeezed him, he had cum hard and blushed. He had held her like a porcelain doll.

She whispered in his ear, "Let's be bad and call one of the guys to go to Pino's and pick us up a bunch of meatball subs and some Tastycakes and we'll pig out. We'll declare Lester's apartment a total contraband zone." He looked at her with surprise and then kissed her and laughed and began moving in her again.

Hal had left her naked and sated and a very happy woman and called down to the control room and then headed into the shower. Shit! Who would have imagined that one gentle giant could pack so much happy she thought.

In about half an hour there were about five guys in Lester's apartment eating subs and Tastycakes and wiping tomato sauce off their mouths and black Rangeman shirts. Most everyone actually softly chuckled as one person declared that Ranger was probably rolling in his grave over this. Everyone, but the curly haired and fragile woman that was so close to breaking.

She took a couple pain pills and soaked in the tub and staggered to the bed and slept like the dead that night. Her void was so deep and she was drowning in it. She knew that no one would ever really take Ranger's place. Sex and the pain pills were at least a respite from the pain.

TBC-

Okay, so now she has other issues. Which are? Some of you might be offended at the downhill slide with Steph. You'll just have to trust me. It's not random slutism (new word) and you will see what I mean in the next chap and then with the twist. Someone was already offended this morning. YOU'VE INVESTED. STAY WITH THE STORY CHICKS!

In a previous chapter where Les was telling Steph about an incident in a Paris hotel with Tank is not my imagination at work. A similar scenario really happened to my uncle when he was on a European vacation with his wife and my parents in the late 60's. I was there in the late 90's and stayed at a nice old hotel just a couple blocks from the Du Louvre and I searched the bathroom for a strange lever or rope and didn't find anything. My roommate thought I was being weird which is not a stretch for me. LOL
