Thanks for reading my story. You guys are great. A/N I own nothing-I forgot that on the last chapter.

Chapter 11

RPOV

"Babe" I whispered in her ear as I pulled her struggling body against mine. She had went all spider monkey, arms and legs everywhere, when Morelli called her THE ugly C word. In her thick New Jersey accent she belittled his manhood, sheesh is nothing sacred with her? Then she questioned weather his parents were ever married. Note to self. Do not piss this woman off. I firmly believe if she had a knife on her she would have cut his dick off and fed it to him.

I was half afraid she would turn her fury on me. So I was very surprised when after I called her Babe, she stilled immediately and relaxed in my embrace. I placed a light kiss against her wild curls and she tilted her head slightly into my kiss. Her rage was a sight to behold, but it didn't compare to my fury at Morelli. He is going to have a nasty accident. Soon.

I noticed Morelli had gotten to his feet and start to advance on Babe. I turned our bodies slightly and placed myself between him and her. "You belong to me Cupcake! I had you first and I will be the last between those whoring legs. My dad was right, all women are whores and deserve to be treated like it!" Spittle was flying out of his mouth with each snarled word.

Why are the officers just standing around instead of cuffing him? In one fluid motion, I slid Steph behind my back and grabbed Morelli, threw him on the ground and had him cuffed. I leaned over and whispered in his ear. "I know what and who you are. I know about the accounts and the hit on Steph. Touch her and I will kill you and make it slow and painful! " I finished my promise just as I stood him on his feet.

I had let Babe go to deal with Morelli. She shot around me so fast I couldn't stop what was about to happen. She ran up to him, used the heel of her hand and with a powerful upthrust promptly broke Morelli's nose. Blood flew everywhere. Impressive! Then she drew back and football kicked his nuts up and into his throat. I winced but fuck, that was so hot! He fell hard to the pavement. She started to kick him again when I grabbed her around the waist. Tears we running down her face and she was trembling. Damn this woman is beyond pissed! Shit! The spider monkey is back!Then she looks at me with those tear filled eyes and I almost let her loose. The pain, agony and hurt in them stunned me. It was then I knew I would do anything for this little spitfire. I pulled her into a gentle hug and felt my shirt dampen with her tears. The clearing of a throat broke the silence and a voice grouched out "He fell and I will swear to it. Did anyone see anything else?" A moment of stunned silence. I gave a scathing look to each man in the parking lot letting them know how unhappy I was that they didn't immediately take Morelli into custody.

"Negative!" Sounded from the back of the lot.

" No sir."

"He fell I saw it."

All I want to do is protect her. And kill Morelli! From somewhere near my heart, I heard a muffled "you're gonna have to beat me to it, Batman" and then she promptly turned her head and wiped her nose on my shirt.
