Hitched to Stitch

Chapter 12

Gotta Get Focused

I knocked on the door to the conference room. The result was just as I had hoped and more.

I stood leaned against the conference room door as I looked around the room. Mouths were open and eyes were glazed over, there may have even been some drool.

"What to you guys think?"

Babe. Bombshell. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Hot. Sexy. Fuck Me.

These all came out. I recognized Ranger voice as the Babe, and Lester as the beautiful, but other than that it was a mass of names.

I was pleased with results this dress had garnered. I held my hand out and Tank snapped out of it long enough to hand me a small mic. I turned away and stuffed it down into my bra, making sure that it could not be seen. "Testing... 1 2 3."

"Loud and clear Stitch."

Ranger gave us all a quick run down of the skip Alex Garner, 6'1'', blonde hair, blue eyes 210lbs. Missed his court date for multiple felony charges, including carrying concealed without a permit, domestic abuse and rape charges. Real great guy.

I started to focus my mind, channeling my inner Jersey girl so that I could flirt and bring this guy out.

Lester had sidled over to me at some point and was now towering over me with his forearm leaned against the door frame above me. "Damn, you're Beautiful. Wanna go home with me tonight? I'll make it worth your while, I can guarantee it" he breathed in my ear.

"Santos, shit, down shut the fuck up, and pay attention. I need your head in this." Ranger barked.

Thank god for Ranger. Not the Lester wasn't a sexy beast, and he was probably a god in bed too. But I didn't need that, it was my second day here. I did NOT need to be sleeping with one of my bosses. Ranger and I had ran and re-ran the situations, plans and exit strategies that morning so I felt confident. I turned to walk out of the conference room and heard Ranger yell "Focus shit heads, get your damn mind out of the gutters. She is one of ours and we need to protect her. She is doing this for us, now we need to have her back just in case something bad happens to her in there tonight."

I moved to the empty conference room next door, it was quiet and dark. The perfect place to focus, I heard the door creak open and someone large step into the space with me. I opened my eyes to find a Tank sized shadow in the doorway. "You ok Little Girl?" I could hear the concern in his voice as he walked towards me.

"Yeah Big Guy, just getting my focus on. which is extremely hard to do in a room full of testosterone induced guys panting over you." Tank walked over and put his large hands on my shoulders and started rubbing. I bent forward and let him continue the impromptu massage, moaning every now and again when he hit a particularly sweet spot.

Soon the door to the conference room shot open so hard it bounced off the wall and almost hit the intruder in the face. It was Ranger and all the guys behind him. "What the fuck do you think you are doing Tank?" Ranger boomed.

I stuck my head out around Tank and glared at Ranger. "He was being a good friend and helping me relax, which I couldn't do with all of you panting over me. What did you think was happening Ranger?"

"Babe... It. It sounded like.. It sounded a little more obscene than a massage. Your mic is still on, we all heard."

"What were you thinking he was in here fucking my brains out? Or maybe leading me into an orgasm or two? Ranger you should know better than to think he would put me in that sort of position." I shook my head at Ranger in disgust as much as embarrassment as I walked out to the elevator to take to the garage. I leaned against the cool wall beside the stairwell door and played with the dangling pendant. I couldn't believe Ranger, his tone when he busted into the conference room clearly gave away what he thought we might be doing. But oh well, whatever is was needed to be resolved with Tank and Ranger. Right now I needed to focus... For the 3rd time tonight.

I had been so deep in focus, when the stairwell door opened, I jumped and put my hand over the pendant and my wildly beating heart. I followed Ranger and Tank to the Black Explorer and hopped into the back. As we pulled out of the garage Ranger spoke to me over his shoulder as he drove "Babe, I'm sorry for that. I heard those noises and knew Tank had left to check on you. I couldn't stop it." As he said this he reached his hand out for Tanks massive one and held it on the console. "Please know that I do not, under any circumstances, think that either of you would do that to me. But some of the comments made in the room got under my skin. I won't let it happen again. Please forgive me Steph?"

"You're forgiven Ranger, but answer me this. Why do you keep calling me Babe?"

"I'm not really sure, it just came out and kinda stuck in my brain. More personal than Stitch too, and I don't like remembering all the times you had to Stitch me up in the jungle."

We were quiet until we reached the club, Vibrations. The outside was black, but accented by blue lights going up the sides. I could hear the music pumping on the inside, and feel it vibrating the Explorer.

"Well, I guess I know why the call it Vibrations!" I laughed, releasing the tension that had been building on the silent ride over. I gave the guys about 5 minutes to get set up while I checked my make-up in the rearview mirror and adjusted the girls. I slipped my heels back on and stepped out of the Explorer. I passed by Cal at the door who gave me a wink and a quick "Go get 'em Tiger!"

I winked back, and opened the door to the club.

AN: Well another one done! Leave me some loves!
