AN. JE owns the characters other than Ana and Tony.

I am not too happy with this chapter but at a loss with what to do it. Also, it is probably more a filler chapter but felt I needed it expand characters a little further.

And quick note from last chapter that I forgot to add. I think I read Lesters line 'beautiful is beautiful and a badass' in another story. I am even sure if it is word for word. Please know I have not intentionally left off acknowledging this and I give credit to the author who wrote it. When I was writing that part it popped in my mind immediately and just seemed so appropriate. I could not work out a more perfect thing for Lester to say. Thank you author.

Hope you enjoy and let me know your thoughts. Cheers babes.

Here and Now

Chapter 4 Part A

Gotta get me some

Lester is still pumping me for details about Babe after our 'tasting'. My only reply "I will never think of Cuervo as just tequila again or taste tequila better than that off her body".

Feeling a sensation down my neck I look around for a threat but stop when I see Babe. She is walking toward wanna-be biker stopping to flirt with his friend. What the fuck!

"It looks like this little bartender is lookin' to cause some trouble" Tank says as we all watch on. When the biker and Babe leave the bar I don't know what came over me but I feel the need to protect her. Hell, any decent man would if they saw a woman leave with this guy.

"Fuck" I exclaim.

Woody adds "I think we should go check on her" and we stand walking to the exit. The bartender gets our attention "Yo Ranger. She will be OK man. Trust me". He smirks at his last statement. Who is he fucking kidding and continue walking to the door.

We are all surprised when we exit to see Babe lay a kick to the bikers leg dropping him to his knees just before pushing him face down in the pavement and an arm twisted behind his back. Babe cuffs him and stands just in time to pull a gun pointing it to another biker in the carpark.

Calm and steely, Babe talks "you step closer and I will shoot you". The guy pauses briefly before changing his mind and taking a step forward. The gun fires and Babe just misses his boot.

"That was a warning. I don't miss. I am taking your boy here one way or another".

He scowls in return replying "I will get you bitch". Babe shrugs her shoulders "stand in line asshole. Now run away before I lose my temper and shoot you". The guy on the ground is moving, trying to voice some expletives and Babe deftly pushes her boot to his neck cutting him off.

"Shut the fuck up. I'm taking you in. You will see your boy on the other side" She says.

We all look at each other wondering the same thing. "The other side of what?" Cal questions.

Babe slides her gun in place behind her back and pulls the biker up. "Stand" Babe commands. When he struggles she pulls his arms up higher between his shoulders saying "See that group of guys over there?" Motioning to us. Guess she knows we are here.

"I am sure they will help me and not be nice about it". We walk towards her while Babe leads her more willing capture to a tricked out black Dodge Ram. Babe shackles him in, shuts the door and walks to meet us.

"Yo" Babe says with a small smile and stopping in front of me.

"Babe". She rolls her eyes.

"I'm a bounty hunter"

Tank spits "WHAT!"

Les follows "Beautiful, that is a lot of dangerous".

Babe's eyes narrow slightly and her lips press together. "I can take care of myself".

Woody diffuses the spark of fire rising in this little blue eyed babe, "we can see that darlin. Great work". Babe smiles at him.

"So will you guys be here for awhile? I plan on coming back after I drop off".

"We will be". I say.

"Cool. Be back on an hour" and with that Babe walks to her truck. When she is standing on the side rail Babe turns and smirks at me "I told you I liked Bad asses" then winks and shuts the door. I chuckle with the guys as we walk back through the door. What a sassy little spitfire.

Forty five minutes later and I am restless waiting to see her again. I get up and walk outside. Waiting. I can't believe I am doing this. Ten minutes have gone by when Tank and Lester join me.

"What are you doin' man?" Tank says with a knowing smirk.

"Yeah, never known you to be this eager to see a woman" my annoying cousin finishes. He is enjoying this way too much.

Our attention diverts when we hear and then see a red BMW convertible pull into a park. A black hair beauty steps out and rests her jean clad ass in the hood of her car. Waiting apparently. Tank and Les let out a low whistle. "She is hot" Les adds.

Not two minutes go by when a black Porsche parks facing the woman leaning on her Beamer. The woman waiting raises a hand to finger wave at the occupant of the Porsche. My breath catches when I see Babe step out of the Porsche. Fuck. She has changed into black pants, black heels and a black top. Babe leans on her car after hugging the other woman. They chat briefly then walk this way to the bar and us. Babe smiles when she spots us.

"Hi" Babe is looking at me and I can see her friend glance between Babe and I with an amused look.

"This is Ana and I am Micki". Babes name is Micki?

"This is Tank, Lester and I'm Ranger" I introduce. The girls laugh and Micki says "I get that. Let's go. I need a drink".

The bartender greets Ana and Micki "hey Micki, Ana. You want your usual?" He asks.

"Thanks Tony. We will be with these guys". Babe says throwing her thumb over her shoulder to Tank, Les and I following behind.

When introductions are done at the table Les starts conversation, "Beautiful, what's with all the black? Black truck, black car, black clothes". He points off.

Ana laughs "Micki believes it sets a bad ass impression". I feel my lips twitch at that.

Babe jumps in "hey! Not everything I own is black". Ana smiles widely at her friend. Conversation flows freely. For some reason it is easy talking to this ladies. Ana and Micki get along well with all the guys. After buying a couple of rounds it is clear these women can hold their alcohol and we will be in for a long eventful night.

Babe and Ana are dancing together on the floor and God help us, there is no way we can stop watching.

"Dios" I mutter. I've never seen a woman move that way.

"Look at that body" Bobby drawls. There is murmurs of agreement.

"Damn, they are hotter than the barrel of my MK after a work out" Les pipes in and we all look at him.

"What?" He questions looking at each of us.

Ram voices our thoughts, "Dude, where the hell did you get that line? Twisted fucker". Ram shakes his head. Les just shrugs and continues watching the girls.

I can't watch anymore when I witness Babe move low to the floor and back up. I quickly move to her and put my hands on her hips from behind letting my hips move with hers. When Babe circles her hips slightly back into mine I groan involuntarily. On a balanced turn Babe picks up her left foot and pivots on the right to face me. Her left leg now is resting on the outside of my right leg while her right leg is between both of mine.

Without breaking rhythm Babe sways her hips side to side bringing one arm up to curl around my neck. I slide my hand up her back to rest on her neck under her lose cascade of brown hair. My other hand resting on the top of her ass.

There is this electricity bouncing between us that feels more than sexual. Fuck, there is a whole lot of sexual desire between us but something else too. I have this tingling sensation down my neck again that is stronger when I am this close to Babe. I wonder if she feels it too.

I look Babe over while we move together and hold my gaze at those lips. I want to feel them again, taste them again and I do.

Our kiss is gentle and slow but when Babe nips my lower lip I press on her neck drawing her closer to me deepening the kiss. Her free arm warps around my waist while the other around my neck anchors herself closer to me. Our tongues dance matching the rhythm of our hips.

We continue dancing when our kiss breaks. Babe's eyes have darkened to the colour of the ocean. I rest my cheek beside hers murmuring Spanish in her ear while giving her lobe a bite. "Dios. I want you so bad. I want to feel myself slide into you. Our bodies sliding together". I kiss her neck and am surprised when Babe breaths "Oh yes please" and kisses my neck.

When I look at her, Babe smiles innocently, a slight blush colouring her face and I snap. I reach for her hand and pull her with me. I throw some bills on the table, tell the guys I am leaving and walk Babe out the door.

"You know Miami?" Babe asks dangling her keys at me. I smile and grab the keys while Babe giggles in response. I like that sound.

We speed out of the parking lot, Babe giving directions to her place. I place her hand on my thigh and hold it there. When she traces her fingers softly inside my thigh I decide we can't get to our destination soon enough. I put my hand on her thigh to trace the same action on her thigh.

Babe shifts in her sit, presses her thighs together then relaxes them. A ragged "Babe" slips from my mouth and the babe in question gives me a small shy smile before gently trailing her finger over the front of my pants. Fuck.
