Chapter 9
When I woke up next I was in Rangers bed in his apartment. Oh shit. After three tries, I finally eased out of bed as quietly as I could trying not to groan from the pain. My shoulder and side was bandaged. I was frantically looking for some clothes when I finally gave up and grabbed one of Ranger's t-shirt and a pair of his sweat pants. I picked up the phone in the bedroom and called Lula.
"Hey girl."
"Hey girl. Please..pick..me..up..asap..outside..Rangeman."
"Be there in about ten girl. I'm real close."
I tip toed out of the bedroom and sighed my relief. There was no one there. I walked to the door and stood.
I was breathing hard. I waited about eight to ten minutes and ran out of the apartment door bare footed to the elevator and punched the button for the street level.
I ran through the street level foyer headed to the door when I heard the elevator door ding and begin to open. I pushed the outside door open and ran for Lula's car and jumped in. "Go, go. go. If you don't slam the pedal now I will dammit!" As she pulled away, I saw Ranger pull his hands through his hair and a frustrated look on his face.
Lula went a few blocks and pulled over. "I ain't goin' no further till you tell me what the fuck is goin' on girl. Spill Dammit!"
"Lula this is so hard and I'm so ashamed but you just might be the only one who might understand. I have had such a difficult time dealing with this. The only thing that has helped me was the adrenaline."
"It's that bad girl? You been tryin' to get yourself killed."
"It's that strange girl." I told her about being horny and how that accidently resulted in the game with Lester and then Ranger coming back and showing up in my dining room after his mission. I had to lift her gaping maw up two times before I even finished with what happened on the airplane.
"Damn girl! Shit! Your life could be the best porn flick double feature ever with those two hot cubans. Let me get this straight. You have two fine ass cuban dudes that love you and want to worship you and make you their wife except for the ring and satisfy your needs and make you happy. You do know that they are rich too don't you? Talk about the fairy tale plus some extra shit! Are you crazy girl?"
"Lula, I wasn't brought up that way. I have loved two men at the same time but, literally is too much. Jeez, I didn't have sex with them at the same time. I'm a Burg girl. They don't do three ways on airplanes. "
She laughed. "You lucky girl. You don't know you have the power. You set the rules and bounderies. If your not comfortable with being with both of them at the same time then you tell them. You give them separate but equal time. If they love you like they say then they will gladly accept that arrangement.
Maybe Ranger had a reason for doing what he did on the plane. Maybe he needed to let you and Lester know that everything was okay with him. I think his explanation about not wanting you to be alone if something happened to him means he really loves you. Makes sense now why he sent you back to Morrelli don't it?"
"You think so? How did you get so wise Lu?"
"Damn skippy I'm wise. I got lot's of experience and talents. Talking about it is much easier than tryin' to get yourself killed ain't it. Forget about the fuckin' Burg and be happy girl. By the way, that last skip was worth some money girl. You cuttin' into Batman's rent money now." We both laughed at that and hugged.
She dropped me at my apartment. She looked at me seriously, "Hear them out crazy girl. Have the talk. Drop the guilt." I fell into bed and it wasn't long before I felt a warm body and a hand on my back.
"Babe, we hurt you. I made a mistake letting you know what I wanted for us the way I did. We both love you and want to be with you. I thought it was the answer I've been waiting for. I'm sorry. I just want you to be happy." I rolled over and pulled him to me and kissed him.

"We were wrong, Babe", he breathed into my mouth.
"If you can love me separately but equally then I can agree. I can't put my head around being with you both at the same time right now."
His eyes got wide. "I'm positive we can work this out, Babe. It wasn't about the sex at all. It was about letting you know that we could share you because we want the same thing with you. We want to love you and be an important part of your life. No matter what happens I will have comfort in knowing that you'll be loved and taken care of as if it were by me. I know it's an unusual relationship, but it is what I can give you. We will be a family and we will be committed; all of us. We can be very happy."
"I'm a Burg girl. How did you expect me to react?"
"Babe, we have watched your painful struggle for three days. I knew what it was about and we were worried and just trying to reassure you. What changed your mind?"
"You can thank Lula for that. She made me talk to her and she gave me some good advice. She pulled my head out of my Burg ass."
"I'll remember that. I'll send her a new car. Any thing she wants."
"Love me now Ranger."
"Babe your beat up right now. I don't want to hurt you."
"Get me one of Bob's little white pills and I'll be fine."
He snorted. "So that's how you've been doing it. I'll get you one but we are going to be weaning you off these. They can be addictive and your going to get yourself killed Babe."
"I had fun!" He barked laughter. "No doubt. You were hopped up on adrenaline and pain killers. Damn, woman you don't disappoint and I love you."
(Bruno Mars, 'It will rain'..playing in the background)
He kissed me and kissed me and made love to me until I begged him for release. I was sated and happy when he gently kissed me one last time and told me again how much he loved me. Then he left me with my other lover.
"Lester, I love you."
"That's all I've wanted to hear beautiful. I love you so much too. You were scaring the shit out of me and Ranger you know. You've earned yourself quite the badass reputation the last fews days.
I can't wait for us to be a family. Ranger and I both have houses here and in Miami. But, you can pick whatever you like. We just want to be together with you every day and night. You may not have the ring with the big church wedding but, you'll have all the jewels we can lavish, the vows and everything that comes with them times two."
"Oh, goody." He loved me slow and sensual in his tantric way till he was driving me crazy. "Lester, will you ever fuck me hard?" He held me close and laughed. "Please fuck me hard lover boy."
"You got it beautiful. I can't wait to continue with our lesson plans. I can show you exactly how many ways there are to fuck."
He kissed me. "Mmmm. It will take a long time to get through every position and you'll be a very happy woman."
"Oh, goody, goody."
He buried his head in my hair and whispered how much he adored me and pumped me until I cried out in almost pain mixed with most fantastic pleasure.
The next morning I didn't feel guilty about waking up with my two men that I loved most in the world. I kissed Ranger and then rolled over and kissed my Lester.

There was some confusion back in chap 7 about whether Ranger showing up on the plane was planned. It was not really planned by any of them. Ranger just knows Lester very well and changed his mind about being angry. Lester just took a non verbal queue from him that they were okay. Let's face it. Men are different animals than women. We like to verbalize our thoughts, they don't have to. Ranger just waited to catch them unawares and compromised to make his own bid. hehe
