"Ok" I said not wanting to let him go either. "I really do love you ya know" I whispered.

"Yeah, I know and I love you too. Thanks for saving my life Stephanie."

"It's the least I could do. I owe you my life more times over than I can count."

"Remember Babe, there's no price for what we give each other."

I made a happy sound and rubbed my cheek against his.

"Sweet dreams Babe" Ranger said as I fell into a peaceful sleep.

Chapter Twelve

Smut Warning

I woke up feeling relaxed and peaceful. I reached out for Ranger but only felt cool sheets. I blinked my eyes open surprised that he was not in bed with me.

Rolling over, I found him sitting in a chair close to the bed, watching me with a thoughtful expression on his face. He was wearing black sweatpants and a black t-shirt. His hair was still damp from his shower and he smelled great.

By the light of day his face was looking pretty battered. He had several colorful bruises on his cheeks and chin that I hadn't noticed last night. The area around his forehead laceration was purple, swollen and painful looking.

"Yo" I said sitting up and stretching, my arms high above my head.

"Sleep well Babe?" Ranger asked reaching out and running a finger up the exposed skin of my arm.

"Yeah, I don't remember a thing from the time my head hit the pillow" I said and it was true, well maybe my head was on Ranger not the pillow but, no matter.

"So I guess you don't remember groping me all night long or climbing on top of me and rubbing against me" Ranger said with a smile.

I blushed to the roots of my hair and made to climb out the opposite side of the bed. Ranger jumped out of his chair and pulled me down on top of him on the bed, holding me tightly to him.

"Babe, don't worry, I enjoyed every minute of it" Ranger said then he kissed me.

I felt bad because his mouth was minty fresh and mine…well it just wasn't minty fresh.

Ranger pulled back and smiled at me. If he noticed my morning breath he certainly didn't show it. Ranger slid me off of him to sit on the side of the bed. He sat up and I leaned into his side as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders hugging me against him.

"How are you feeling today? I see that you're looking a little colorful with all those bruises" I said reaching up and gently touching his bruised cheek.

"I'm fine Babe. Jason stopped in when he came on at 7:00 and said I should be able to leave by noon. I won't even have any special instructions or limitations. I'll be back to full duty as of tomorrow."

I let out an unconscious sigh. I normally can't stand hospitals. I hate the smells, I hate the crowdedness, I hate the announcements over the PA paging doctors and calling codes at all hours of the day and night. But there was none of that here. This was a luxury hotel room with doctors and nurses who stopped by from time to time.

I was actually enjoying our time here. I felt like we could safely relax and I was almost totally able to block out all thoughts of Edward Scrog. If I tried hard enough I could almost convince myself that Ranger was in an accident and that was it. I knew that the denial had to stop eventually but I just wanted to hold on a little longer.

Once we went back to Rangeman we would get absorbed in the task of trying to locate Scrog. I wished he would just get a life and move on, or better yet, take a long walk off a short pier. But even with all of my denial, I didn't think either was likely.

I kissed Ranger on the cheek then stood up from the bed heading for the bathroom. I turned and sent him a wobbly smile then stepped inside, closing and locking the door.

I did my business and decided to take a shower while I got my mind back under control.

I showered and dried off then realized I had a problem. I didn't have any clothes. I wrapped a towel around my hair and another around my body. I was standing in front of the mirror contemplating putting my pajamas and panties back on when there was a light rap at the door.

"Babe, I've got some of your things for you" Ranger called through the door.

I unlocked the door and eased it open partially. Ranger peeked around the door, took in my outfit and decided to join me in the bathroom. He stepped inside closing and locking the door behind him. He gave me a wolf grin then stepped closer, dropping what I recognized as my duffle bag on the floor under the counter.

Ranger hooked a finger over the top of my towel and caressed the damp skin between my breasts before giving a little tug, dropping the towel to the floor.

I watched him intently as his gaze raked over my naked body. When his eyes returned to mine he quirked a crooked grin then his eyes flicked up to the towel I had wrapped around my head turban style.

Ranger reached out with both hands freeing my unruly curls from their binding. He threaded his fingers into my hair on both sides and gave it a shake, fluffing up my curls.

"What my hair wasn't scary enough already, it needed poofing?" I asked ignoring the mirror. I was afraid that if I looked Medusa in the eye I might turn to stone.

Ranger leaned in close to my ear, his hands in my hair again. "I love your curls Steph. They're wild, untamed and sexy" he said licking the shell of my ear, "just like you" he finished in a husky voice before claiming my mouth is a feverish kiss.

I brought my hands up to the back of his head holding him to me while we devoured each other. I caught his bottom lip between my teeth and gave it a nibble.

Ranger slid his hands down to my bare breasts, squeezing and kneading them, his thumbs brushing the nipples sending jolts of heat straight to my core.

A moan escaped from deep inside of me and I pressed my body against his. I ran my hands down his back, sliding them under his waistband to caress his ass. I pulled my hands out and brought them up and around to the front, scraping my fingernails over his hardened nipples through his t-shirt. I grabbed the bottom of the shirt and started to lift it. Ranger pulled back from the kiss and finished the job for me, tossing the shirt aside.

I moved my mouth to Ranger's neck, kissing up to his ear then back down to his collarbone. I slid my tongue across his skin settling at the place where his shoulder and neck met. I sucked the skin into my mouth and pulled.

Ranger's hands were roaming over my body as I continued to suck at his skin. He had his eyes closed and his head thrown back.

He pressed his body against mine, backing me up against the wall.

I gasped as the coldness of the tile made contact with the warm skin of my back. Ranger snapped his head up and looked at me through desire laden eyes. He took half a step back and slid off his sweatpants stepping out of them along with his socks. I stood up straight taking in his naked body, wanting him badly.

Ranger charged me, pressing me against the wall again, and again I gasped at the coldness on my skin.

Ranger kissed me frantically, pulling his lips back a fraction of an inch to grind out "I love it when you gasp like that Stephanie, I can barely control myself when I hear it." He claimed my mouth again sliding a hand down over my hip and in-between our bodies. His fingers found my wet heat and I couldn't help the catch in my breath as he thrust two fingers inside of me and pressed his thumb against my clit.

I tore my lips away from his and threw my arms around his neck, holding on for dear life as he worked me with his talented fingers. I laid my head on his shoulder panting against his neck. I groaned and shuttered as the orgasm crashed through me hot and dizzy.

Ranger withdrew his hand and held me around the waist while I got my bearings.

I looked up into his face and kissed him for all I was worth. I kissed his neck and his sculpted shoulder. I licked his nipples and sucked them into my mouth. I dropped to my knees and licked my way down his rock hard abs, swirling my tongue around his navel.

Ranger grabbed at my arms, trying to make me stand back up.

"No" I said grabbing onto his hips. "I want to, Ranger. Please let me do this."

He didn't say a word but he moved his hands to rest on my shoulders. I looked Ranger in the eye and then with a crooked grin of my own I licked the tip of his length. When I heard Ranger hiss at the sensation I took him into my mouth, twirling my tongue and sucking lightly. I looked at him again and held his gaze as I brought him deeper into my mouth, sliding him in and out, caressing him with my tongue. I slid a hand down from his hip and gave his balls a squeeze.

"Babe…please…stop" Ranger gritted out while again attempting to pick me up. Since I was looking forward to what would happen next, I allowed him to pull me to my feet.

I was caught off guard when Ranger grabbed my thighs and lifted me up, sliding me down onto him, burying himself to the hilt all at once, pressing my back again the wall.

I wrapped my legs around him as he started to pump into me. His movements were frantic, his breathing loud and rough. Ranger's obvious loss of control only flamed my desire more. I scratched my nails down his back and Ranger fused his lips over mine, the dueling of our tongues in-time to Ranger's thrusting. I turned my head to the side as Ranger kissed my neck and caught our reflection in the mirror. It was far more erotic than anything I had even scene before. Ranger's muscles were flexing with each movement. I barely recognized the wanton woman in the mirror. I turned back to Ranger attacking his lips again.

I felt the heat starting to build and knew I was only seconds away from another orgasm. There were moans and animalistic noises coming out of me that sounded foreign even to my own ears.

"Fuck" I panted pulling my head away, trying not to hyperventilate.

I looked at Ranger and the look of pure abandon on his face was enough to give me that final push over the edge. I rode the waves that coursed through me. As my walls contracted I felt Ranger spasm deep inside of me as we came together.

Almost immediately we were sliding down the wall, Ranger's legs unable to support us. He was on his knees with me straddling his lap, my back still against the wall.

I rested my head against Ranger's shoulder and that's when I realized that I had tears on my cheeks.

Ranger noticed at the same time and pulled back concerned.

"Did I hurt you Babe?" He asked touching my tears with the tips of his fingers.

"No" I said resting my head back on his shoulder, lips close to his neck. "It's just…that was really…intense. I've never felt anything like that before. It was like I couldn't tell where I ended and you began. I never knew sex could be like that" I said feeling a little embarrassed but intensely emotional in my post-coital bliss.

"I know Babe" Ranger said stroking my neck with his fingers. "I've never felt a connection to anyone in my life like I feel with you. Sex was never about emotions for me before I met you. But this, what we share, is love making on the greatest level possible." He kissed me gently then lifted me up to stand, up righting himself as well.

"Let's take a quick shower and get back out there before someone comes looking for us" Ranger said with a sweet smile.

A hard knock on the door made us both jump.

"Mr. Manoso, are you alright in there? The emergency cord in your bathroom was pulled sending an alarm to the nurses' station" a woman, presumably a nurse, asked through the door.

Ranger and I turned to look at the wall where we had been leaning and sure enough there was the emergency cord. It must have gotten pulled as we slid down the wall although I certainly didn't notice it.

"I'm sorry. It was not pulled intentionally, I'm fine" Ranger said calmly, almost smile on his lips.

"What about Ms. Plum? Is she in there with you?" The nurse asked.

"Yes she is and we're both fine, thank you" Ranger said, now wearing a full-on Ranger smile as I turned ten shades of red.

"Ok then, ring again if you need anything. Dr. Wright is on his way up now" she said.

Ranger stepped close to me, placing his hand on the side of my neck. "Maybe we better just wash up and get out of here" Ranger said placing another kiss on my lips.

"Yeah" I said turning toward the sink.

A few minutes later, clean and fully dressed, well except for shoes, we walked out of the bathroom together to find not only Jason waiting for us but also Tank, Bobby and Lester and they were all smiling.

I wanted to turn around and hide in the bathroom for like the rest of my life, but Ranger wrapped an arm around my waist and led me further into the hospital room. Ranger took a seat on the side of the bed and pulled me down to sit between his knees, my back to his front, his arms wrapped around my neck loosely.

"So nice of you to join us" Jason said with a chuckle. "You seem to be good as new today Carlos, maybe better if that hickey on your neck and the accidentally pulled alarm are any indication. You know I didn't clear you for sex yet" Jason said with a belly laugh picking up a clipboard with papers on it.

Tank, Lester and Bobby joined in the laugh but shut up quickly with one look from Ranger. Of course that made me laugh a little but I camouflaged it well with a cough I think.

I moved to sit in a chair across the room as Jason gave Ranger a quick once-over, looking into his eyes with the penlight, having him do a few quick neurological tests.

Jason handed Ranger the clipboard and said "Sign here and you're a free man. Your sister is expecting a call by the way. She wants to know all about the lady friend staying in your room with you" he added with a grin.

"Oh great. You had to tell her didn't you? What ever happened to doctor/patient confidentiality?" Ranger asked signing the forms and tossing the clip-board back to Jason.

"Oh come on Carlos, you know your sister. I'd rather face a medical ethics board any day of the week than piss her off."

Hmm…maybe I don't want to rush into meeting Celia, I thought to myself.

We gathered our things together and headed out of the hospital. We were met in the lobby by Cal and Hal. There were three Rangeman SUVs parked in the fire lane. Ranger and I were loaded into the one in the middle where Woody was already behind the wheel. Cal and Hal piled into the rear car and Bobby and Lester climbed into their vehicle. Tank rode shot gun with us. Our caravan headed out of the gated entrance and in about half an hour we were back upstairs in Ranger's apartment.

I went to the kitchen to say hello to Rex, dropping some raisins and cheerios into his cage. Ranger walked up behind me a moment later.

"So what do you want to do for the rest of the day Babe?" He asked circling his arms around me from behind, watching Rex stash his booty.

"I figured you'd be back to work already" I said softly.

"Nope, I'm offline until 6:00 tomorrow morning. For the rest of today I'm all yours Babe."

Oh boy I thought as he started kissing my neck.

A/N - My muse has been very lazy lately. I was having a horrible time trying to wake her up. What better way to get her going than with Babe smut. I wasn't ready for more heavy duty plot. I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for reading and reviewing! You guys rock!
