Stephanie and Ranger sat on his couch and watched TV. Usually she would be sitting on the other end of the couch and he would be on the other side. Today
however Steph had her body and head buried into Rangers. She needed to feel his body next to hers and to feel safe. With Ranger she felt safe and figured no one would get to her as long as he was near her.
Ranger combed thru her hair with his finger tips and kissed her on top of the head. Steph moved her face to his chest and tried not to cry anymore.
Ranger heard her trying to not cry but knew she was going to anyways. He slipped his arm around her and brought her close to him.
"Babe I'm not going to let that person or anyone near you" he told her
"I know, I'm just so tired of people trying to kill me or hurt me" she said
"even if I have a meeting you know yourself you got all of RangeMan at your beck and call" he told her
Stephanie looked up at him and Ranger took his thumbs and swiped the tears that had leaked onto her cheeks. He leaned down and brushed his lips across hers. Stephanie opened her mouth to him and he kissed her softly.
"Range Men only tolerate me because of you" she said after the kiss
"oh trust me it's not just because you only belong to......" Ranger was saying but decided not to say the last word
"You?" Stephanie asked
"Yea" Ranger said as he looked at her lips close to his still. Placing his hands on her ribs he kinda picked her up and laid her on his and kissed her again
Ranger slid his hands down her back going to her jeans waist. When he came over the bullet wound in her back she stiffened and moved away from him.
"OWW" she said
"Shit" Ranger said knowing he had inadvertently hurt her.
"I'm hungry" she said easily sitting back on the couch
"Ill have Ella bring up some food" he told her
"No, id love Pino's" she told him
Ranger smiled and helped her up off the couch and they walked to the elevator.
