Chapter 10: Can You Feel The Love Tonight

Stephanie's POV:

I loved it when Ranger lifted me and carried me from the chapel saying we were going to paradise. He sat me in the Limo and got in beside me. We made our way to the airport and then got onto a private plane that flew us to Hawaii. When Ranger carried me into our bungalow I snuggled into him with my arms wrapped around his neck and my head on his shoulder. He set me down once he'd closed the door and then his mouth covered mine. He deepened the kiss and I moaned. I loved this man more than I ever thought possible.

There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

Ranger cupped my face in one of his hands and lifted his head. His eyes were darkened with desire. "You hungry Babe."

I smiled, "Starving. But not for food."

His smile matched mine and he lifted me and carried me through to the bedroom. He set me beside the bed and slowly removed my clothing. As he worked he peppered my body with kisses and his tender caresses. In no time I stood before him naked. He paused and if possible his eyes darkened even more as his gaze slowly went over me. After several minutes he stepped back and removed his own clothing. He lifted me back onto the bed and followed me down.

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

I put my arms around his neck and he lowered his head so his mouth could take mine. Our tongues dueled and he deepened the kiss. His hand came up and covered my breast. He gently kneaded my breast, rolling the nipple between his thumb and forefinger. I arched and he slid inside me, gently thrusting till he was buried deep. He treated me like fine porcelain he was afraid of crushing. I smiled and said, "You don't have to be so careful. I won't break."

He leaned back so our eyes met, "You've been through a great deal the past three months. I have every intention of making sure you are fully recovered before I let myself go loving you. Let me love you gently for now."

I see the love and concern in his eyes and it brings a tear to my eyes. Finally I smile and say, "I love you Ranger. I just wanted you to know in case you needed more."

He smiled, "Believe me Babe, when I get done you won't be worried that I didn't get enough."

There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours

Ranger covered my mouth with his and made love to me with such gentle passion. I was blown away by the love I felt radiating from him as he moved in and out of me. His mouth and hands worked to add to my pleasure. I couldn't get enough of him. It seemed as if one session had only just ended when another would start.

I woke and looked over at the bedside clock. It was nearly 4 a.m. At first I wondered what had woken me but a loud roar from the region of my stomach let me know exactly what had caused me to wake up. Another roar and I heard a soft chuckle from beside me. I looked over and saw Ranger laying there looking at me. I blushed as he said, "Let's feed the beast Babe."

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

Ranger called room service while I went into the bathroom and answered natures call and brushed my teeth. When I returned to the bedroom there was a cart positioned beside the bed. I made my way over and took the lids off the dishes and moaned. There were pancakes, sausage links, bacon, strawberries, whipped topping, and...eww, looked like Ranger had ordered something for himself as well. I wasn't exactly sure what it was, but if he wanted to eat that I guess it was okay with me. I fixed my plate with the pancakes, strawberries and whipped topping before adding a couple sausage links and three pieces of bacon. I managed to eat most of it before I found I'd run out of room to put it. Ranger managed to finish his meal about the same time.

I smiled and set my plate back on the cart. "Now that we've fed our inner selves..."

Ranger returned my smile and moved me so I was laying on the bed and he covered me. His mouth covered mine in a deep kiss before heading south. He stopped at my breasts, first lavishing attention on one and then the other before continuing down to my navel and even farther south to my very core. When his tongue thrust into my center I arched and cried out. Soon I was at the edge and was pleading. He suddenly covered me with his body and thrust in to the hilt with one movement. He moved in and out, the rhythm getting faster and faster till we both fell over the edge. I cried out, "Ranger" as he cried out, "Babe."

That night set the tone for the next two weeks. Ranger loved me with such care and passion and my love for him grew stronger every day. I could see his love every time he looked at me and touched me. I was so happy we'd found each other again. But then, he always did come to my rescue. I should have seen then that was all part of the way he loved me. In his own way. Totally and unconditionally.
