Chapter 7 Love Is Where the Heart Is

"Little one, Stephanie please talk to me say something" Pierre softly whispered to her. Stephanie was still sitting in the chair wrapped in Tank's arms. "My parents, Grandma Mazur, Valerie the kids, Albert they are all in danger too. We have to notify them" Stephanie pleaded with Pierre.

"Tank you take Stephanie to your place. I will see Babe's parents and other family members to let them know what is happening. I will arrange a safe house for them. To make sure they are safe." Ranger told him.

"Got it boss." Tank said to him. "Come on Stephanie, we need to say good bye to Lula and leave." Pierre told her. He held out his hand and she took it. They held hands all the way back to Lula's room. They arrived as the doctor was leaving.

"Good news I hope" Stephanie asked her best friend, "No they have me set up to see a food nutritionist tomorrow morning, I don't want to go on a diet white girl." Lula moaned.

"Sorry Lula but I don't think you have a choice. Anyway, Pierre and I must get going. But we will call you and visit as much as we can. Ruby please make sure she follows the doctor's orders. Stephanie said softly as she gave Lula quick hug.

They both walked out of Lula's room, and left ICU.

Pierre let out a big huge breath of air as they made their way through the exit of the hospital. Pierre walked up to Stephanie and put his arm around her waist pulled her toward him. He lifted her chin, pressed his lips on hers. She let the kiss engulf her. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Pierre, please we have spent a day and a half here, can we go somewhere more private." She asked softly.

"Ok, let's go." Pierre took her hand and they left to go to his place.

While Pierre was driving Stephanie to his place. Lester received a call from Ranger. Telling him to get the rest of the Plums to a safe house now.

Helen saw a Rangeman SUV pull up. "I know you, your name is Lester" she said, "Is Stephanie all right we heard about Joseph." "Yes, she is fine, but you, your husband, and Grandma Mazur have to come with me for a while. There might be a threat on your life. We also need to get in touch with Valarie too."

"They are here, Albert is out of town. I will pack a bag for me and Frank. Can we have someone go to Valarie's house to pick up some stuff for them." Helen asked nicely.

"Of course," Lester answered her. After about fifteen minutes they were all loaded up in the Rangeman SUV.

"Boss I got them, someone will have to pick up some clothes for Valarie and the kids, but we are going to the safehouse now" Lester told Ranger. "Good I will let Tank know" Ranger told him. Ranger then pressed the button for Tank.

"Hey Ranger, what is going on now?" "We have the Plums so tell your girl not to worry." Ranger told him then hung up.

"Little one, Rangeman has your family and they are safe." Tank told her while he was pulling up to his farm.

Pierre pushed a button and the gate opened. It was then that she saw all the land and the animals on it.

"Wow this is your place." She stated with an open mouth.

"yup" He replied.

They parked in a driveway, that led to a two-story ranch home.

How many rooms are there here?" her curiosity getting the best of her now.

"Four bedrooms and two bathrooms."

"The porch goes all away around the ranch." He pointed to the porch. "The master bedroom has a walk out to the porch too. I can show you that first if you like?" He asked her.

"Sure" She said and smiled a little.

He put the key in and a full-blooded German Shepard came up to Pierre and he petted him. He then walked up to Stephanie and let her pet him also. "

This is Rufus he is a sweet heart. He was my wife's, but I kept him anyway. Just could not part with him."

Rufus decided there was nothing interesting about Stephanie and walked away. Stephanie started to walk away. She turned to the left and saw a huge living room with a flat screen T.V. over a fire place. A sofa about twenty feet away from that. In the middle was a coffee table.

She then turned and saw a medium sized bathroom with a sink, and a very large shower with a normal sized toilet and a closet to the right of the shower.

She then turned left and walked down a hall way and saw a dining room with a huge table, the table have 3 chairs on each side and a chair on each end of the table. There was a door that led to part of the wrap around porch.

She walked from the dining room and bumped into Pierre standing in the door way that led to the kitchen. "Like it so far" he said with a huge smile on his face. "Yeah" was all she could get out.

He took her hand and led her through the kitchen. She saw a double sink, an island in the middle of the room with some stools. A dishwasher to the right of the sink. A large marble counter top. At the end of the countertop was the large fridge.

"This way" Her led her to the main door again and then up the spiral staircase that lead to the upstairs.

They got to the first door on the right. "That is my office, where I keep some of my cold cases from when I was a detective. On this side is another bedroom which adjoins to another bedroom. Which is the master bedroom by the way. I have a gym in the basement an attic that I never use. So, come this way and I will show you the inside of my bedroom."

He opened the door for her and she stepped in. Her heart was jumping beats. She looked and saw to her left a large fire place that was opposite a king-sized bed. To the right of the bed was a dresser. To the left was a walk-in closet. After that were doors that led to the out-side porch.

She opened the double glass doors and went out. She could see the horses getting their evening feed. She looked farther out she could see the cows grazing, and the chickens also eating their food. "Oh my god, Pierre this place is breath taking. Just look at that sun set."

"I thought you would like it." He slid his strong arms around her waist. She turned to face him. They kissed a long passioned kiss. He walked her back to the bed.

She laid down on it. He was on top of her in an instant. He started to kiss her fiercely. She put her arms around his neck. He got his hands under her shirt and pulled it off. He started to let his tongue down her neck. He started to pull off her bra. "I want you so badly Stephanie?" He whispered to her.

"I want you too, I want to get rid of these past two days, please Pierre help me do that." She told him. She had his shirt of in two minutes.

He undid her bra and started to suck on her breasts. "Oh god" she moaned. He got her pants and her thong off. He stood up and looked at her. She moved to the edge of the bed. Got his cargo pants unbuttoned. Pierre took off his boots and his pants fell to the floor. She laid back down.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked her very gently.

"Yes" she put her hands around his waist and lowered them until they were rubbing his butt.

"Okay" He was instantly inside of her. They had a perfect rhythm of motion going. She was rubbing her hands up and down his back. He was rubbing his hands all over her legs. He exited her in what seemed like minutes.

"Wow" was all she said.

After they laid there together holding each other and fell asleep in each other's arm.
