Chapter 7

I woke up feeling the most wonderful softness. I wiggled. Ooooh. That feels good. I wiggled again and rolled over moving my hands and legs like I was making a snow angel. "Babe. What are you doing?"

Ranger had one eye opened looking at me. "Testing these sheets. They feel so soft and so good." He grinned.

"There's a better way to test the sheets. You want a roll in the sheets?"

"Does this test involve Alfonso?" He smirked.

"I can't believe I let you name my cock."

"Alfonso has a noble name and loves plum pie."

I reached under the sheet and took him in my hand and stroked him and then pulled down the sheet and licked his tip and squeezed him. I sucked him and gently squeezed his balls. He was moaning. "Babe, don't stop. That feels good." He was running his fingers through my curls.

I took him in my mouth as far as I could and sucked and worked the rest of his shaft at the same time alternating to laving the tip. He began to shudder and I sucked harder. A couple more times and he tensed. "Babe, that's all I can take. You might want to stop." But I didn't stop and he gasped and then he came hard in my mouth and I swallowed every sweet drop down. Then I released him and rolled over on my back and purred. "Yum, Alfonso is delicious."

Ranger grabbed me and pulled me up close to him. "We both thank you for that. Do you feel better this morning?"

"I guess. I'm sorry. You're being gracious and helping me as usual and I had myself a little pity party after you brought me into your home."

"You've been a little in denial land Babe. You got here and realized you'd been driven out of your home because someone is threatening you. You were tired and you were asleep in two minutes. There is nothing to be sorry about."

"You understand me pretty well. I just feel guilty about being here under those circumstances."

"This building is a safehouse. If you weren't here, Alfonso and I would be at your place." I giggled.

"If your guys find out about Alfonso, you won't be able to show your face at all."

He pulled me under him and we had about an hour of hot and sweaty, yelling out loud sex in those soft sheets and then went to the shower to finish with our other morning routine. You wash me and I wash you and oops, I dropped the wonderful smelling body wash. Allow me Ms. Plum. Oh, Mr. Manoso you devil you. I hope these walls are soundproof.

We had slept and done our other fun stuff till almost noon so Ella brought us a delicious brunch. Ranger kept trying to feed me the healthy stuff and I kept wiggling bacon and Danish under his nose.

"I need to check in downstairs. Other than that, what do you want to do this afternoon before we have to go to the gropathon?"

"I wouldn't joke if I were you. I'd go see your man Bobby about some serious protection. I would like to go down with you and just spend some time meeting and chatting with your guys. Would you mind? You care about them. I want to get to know them."

We went downstairs and I didn't want to interrupt the guys' work so I hung out around the lounge and rec room and chatted with the guys as they came through. I introduced myself and asked about them. Most were surprised and were happy to share things like how they knew Ranger and how they came to work at Rangeman. I let them know that I was very happy to meet them and looked forward to working with them. Several, I was surprised, were very shy that I would approach them and ask them questions about themselves. I needed to ask Ranger about these guys.

On the way to the Burg I asked Ranger about the guys that were shy and reluctant to talk to me. "Babe, some military men are unable to come back stateside and blend back into a life like before. War and battle is hell. Many of them are not well accepted into normal society. They think of us as thugs and mindless muscle men. It isolates us and makes us distant and we don't trust very easily."

"But, Ranger these men fought for our country. You're all heroes. That is just so wrong and so sad. I feel the need to let them know that someone cares about them."

"You have a big heart Babe. Having you around will be good for my men."

We pulled up to my parents' house and my mother and grandmother were at the door. Dinner was at 5pm no exceptions and it was ruined one minute after. We were five minutes early and my mother was happy about that.

My mother opened the door for us and we walked into the living room where Dad was in his recliner. "Mom, Dad, Grandma, this is Ranger Manoso."

Ranger held out two bottles of wine. "Mrs. Plum I didn't know what you were serving this evening so I brought a bottle of white and red wine. Thank you for inviting me to your home for dinner."

My mother gushed and took the bottles and my Grandma cocked her little head and looked at his crotch. "Ranger, that car of yours is a pip!"

"Ranger, this is my Grandma Mazur."

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Mazur." My mother called us to the table and my Dad got up out of his recliner.

"Ranger, this is my Dad."

"Mr. Plum." Ranger held out his hand and my Dad took it.

We headed off to the dining room and my Grandma zipped in behind Ranger and I saw him jump slightly. I giggled.

My mother motioned for us to sit. Ranger looked at me and the corners of his mouth were twitching. "Those boney fingers are like a vice, huh? That butt of yours is tight too. Hard to get a good grip. Told you she was good. Don't let her get a hold of the front side. She's like a snapping turtle. She might not let go until it thunders and we're not expecting any rain today." His eyes got huge.

"Babe."

It was fun watching Ranger fork pot roast and gravy and mashed potatoes into his temple. I knew he was doing it to make my mother happy. I was probably going to have to think of some creative stuff to make it up to him later.

My mom asked, "Ranger what is your line of work?"

"I own a security business and I do fugitive apprehension like Stephanie."

"Mom, Ranger has been helping me since I started with Vinnie to learn the business. He's really good at what he does." He squeezed my hand.

My mother screwed up her nose. "That is not a respectful line of work for a young woman. Angie Morelli tells me that her Joe wants to date you. He is a good man with a respectable job. He would make a good husband for you. You're not getting any younger. You should be married and raising a family by now." Ranger cleared his throat.

"Mrs. Plum, I apologize if you misunderstand. Stephanie and I are dating. I'm surprised that you would want her to date Joe Morelli, much less marry him. It's my understanding that he has taken advantage of her and hurt her in the past. She's pursuing a new career that she likes and that she's good at and she is also working part time for my company. She is very good with people. Very caring and very special. I'm personally very proud of her." My jaw was on the floor. Ranger smiled and reached over and put his finger under my chin and closed my mouth for me.

My mother was also shocked speechless by his candor. Grandma was beaming and my Dad actually spoke. "Never did like that Morelli kid anyway. Little shit was disrespectful to my little girl. Young man you're welcome in my home any time."

Mom scrambled out of her chair to get the coffee and dessert. When she was upset she dealt with it using food, her ironing board or her liquor bottle she didn't hide so well in the cabinet. My mom had made my favorite dessert, pineapple upside cake, and Ranger took a couple bites of that as well. What a guy.

After dessert we said our goodbyes and I grabbed Grandma's little hand just in time when she hugged Ranger and went for the grope. "No, no Grandma. TLC only for Alfonso."

"Oops, hand slipped. Who's Alfonso? You have another hottie out there in your car?" She went to the door.

"Babe."

"That save was the least I could do after that victorious battle during dinner. You won hands down. Showed no fear, no mercy. Damn you are good, I'm so turned on." He took my hand and we went to the car. He opened my door and kissed me. "Get in curly locks."

As he drove us back to Haywood, I eased my hand over his thigh to his ample package and squeezed. "So now we have a relationship, we're lovers and we are now dating?"

"I would definitely call the last two days dating and Babe, I have to get us back to Rangeman safely."

I went for his zipper. "You look uncomfortable here. I could take care of this for you right now." I pulled the zipper down and he sprang free.

"Keep your eyes on the road big boy."

He came as he stopped to key fob the gate open to the Rangeman garage.

I licked my lips. "That should take care of your comfort for now." He grinned at me.

He parked and pulled up his zipper then grabbed me around the neck and pulled me to him for a smoldering kiss. "Stephanie Plum, my woman."

"I like the sound of that. You want to watch a movie and snuggle and then after have some hot sweaty sex."

"I can go for that. I just need to check in with the control room first." He walked me up to the apartment and let me in. I sat on the floor and started looking through his movie selection. The phone rang. "Hello?"

"Babe. I need to see a customer. He has a new system. I think someone in his house tripped the alarm and they are excited. Going to find out what went wrong and calm them down. Be back as soon as I can."

"No problem. I'm fine. I don't know how to work your tv and electronic equipment though."

"Bobby's down here. I'll send him up to show you."

"Great. Thanks. See you later."
