"Ric." I moaned as he rolled on top of me. "We can't."

He pressed his forhead to mine and took deep breathes.

"Just kissing." He said. "I promise it won't go any farther than that. Just please don't make me stop." He kissed me again and only stopped when I was starting to cave.

"You need to get dressed." He said. When I nodded he rolled off of me and helped me up. I dressed in the normal rangeman uniform then went to the comm room. Tank and Bobby were just coming out of the elevator with the prospective new employee.

"This is Stephanie Plum, our head of Bond Enforcement." Bobby introduced me. "She'll be heading up your interview and and PT test."

I shook hands with him and led him to the others to the conference room.

"What's your name?" I asked. His file was right next to me but I would get my answers from him.

"Aeden Daxton Barrett." He said.

"Age?"

"29." He was sitting straight up and militiant in his answers. Realization hit me and I smiled.

"You already have the job." I said. "No need to impress." He looked a bit shocked. "We have a kind of system here." I explained. "Ranger and his men screen for all their nessesities, like military backround and criminal record and I make sure your not psyco and make sure your not a complete health nut or tofu freak." I added with a smile.

"Bomber he's just as fit as the rest of us." Tank said. "How do you know know he's not a health nut?"

I smiled.

"He smells like french fries and I went to college with him." Was all I said before standing up. "Welcome to the team Aeden."

He shook my hand and smiled.

"I knew you looked familiar just couldn't place you. You're a consultant for Rangeman?" He asked.

"No, I just have a knack for attracting the crazies." I said.

"How do you know him?" Ric asked pulling me onto his lap. He was being possessive. How cute. Aedon raised his brow.

"We went to the same college. We weren't close really but I went to a lot of his parties. He always made sure I had a place to stay if I was too drunk to drive."

Ric's arms tightened slightly around my waist as he looked Aedon up and down, then he saw me yawn.

"You need a nap." Ric said. He gently picked me up and I rested my head on his shoulder as I got sleepier.

"Where's Belinda and Torque?" I asked him.

"They're hanging out with Ella and Louis. They agree'd to watch over them during the day, that way we can see them anytime we want while we are working. I'll take you up and you can nap with them. When you wake up you can feed them and play for a bit." He said as he carried me out of the room to the elevator on the comm. room. On Ella's floor he set me down in the guest bedroom and moved Belinda and Torque to sleep beside me. Then he surrounded the three of us in huge pillows and kissed us goodnight.

When I woke up it was dark. I rolled over to see a note next to my head

Got a call. Had to go to a clients place. T and B are playing with the guys on the forth floor. Take it easy. Love you. R.

I pulled on one of Ric's over sized hoodie's over my head that Ric had left for me and padded barefoot into the elevator and then onto the Comm Room floor. There were a bunch of guys I didn't know on this shift but I went over to the bank of secrity camera's and searched each of them trying to find Ric.

"Excuse me Miss." The huge guy who was on moniter duty said. "I can't let you look at these."

He started to push me out of the cubicle.

"Martinez." He said. "Who gave this one access to this floor? Just because Santos is aloud to bring his catches here doesn't mean they can wander around."

"Hand's off buddy." I snapped. "I'm aloud to be on this floor."

I stormed back to the computers only to have my arm jerked behind my back.

"Get your hands off her." Ric snarled. I had never heard him sound so murdurous. The guy who held me froze and let me go. I stumbled and turned to see Ric with his gun pressed to the base of the guys skull. "You okay, Babe?" He asked with out looking away from the guy.

"I'm fine." I said rolling my shoulder. "Put the gun away please." I didn't want him to kill anyone.

He looked at the guy for a few more seconds before his put the gun back in the holster at his hip. Then he pulled me into a hug and ran his hands over my arms to make sure I was okay.

"You," He barked at the guy. "Meet me in the gym tomorrow morning. Then every two weeks for the rest of the year.

"Yes, sir. I wasn't aware she was one of your women." The guy said.

"This is the only woman and if I ever find out any of you man handles her you will regret it." He said. Then he pressed me up against the wall and kissed me. Hard. My hands tangled in his hair and his hands gripped my thighs, wrapping my legs around his hips. I was vaguely aware of us moving but I was too preoccupied to care.

The next thing I knew we were in my apartment. I whimpered when he pulled away and led me to the elevator.

"I wanna go out to eat." I said looking up at him. "Could we maybe go to Pinos?"

"Sure. You get dressed and we'll go." He said. I quickly changed into a pair of black jeans and a longsleeve t-shirt.

When I found Ric in the kitchen he came over to me and buckled a web belt around my hips and right thigh. He cliped on a cell phone, gun, and cuffs then smiled and kissed my forehead. I checked on my babies before we left and when I offered to take them with us I was told that I needed a break and to take it easy. I couldn't do that if I had two infants with me.

"Let's go get some food." Ric said. He drove the Turbo and parked close to the door at Pinos. He kept a hand at the small of my back and led me in. The place went silent as we walked in then a roar of cheers went up and poeple saluted me with there drinks.

I felt my face turn red and I nuzzled into Ric's neck. He presed a kiss to the top of my head and we sat at a booth.

"What can I get you guys?" The waitress asked.

"We need a extra large extra cheese and pepperoni pizza and two coronas." I said and covered Ric's mouth when he started to order a salad. "Thanks."

When the waitress left Ric looked at me with a raised eye brow.

"Half of this pizza is yours." I said. "And you're going to have at least two beers."

"Why is that?" He asked.

"This is punishment." I said happily as the beers arrived. "Because you keep kissing me, and then stopping. So now you have to eat half of my pizza. And you have to let me pay. And I get to drive on the way home."

Ric's POV:

The way she said home made me feel whole. And then I realized what she had said.

"The last time you drove one of my Porches it got crushed and blown up." I reminded her with a small smile. "And I'm not letting you drive."

I felt my eyes widened when she lifted her hand up and dangling from the tip of her finger were MY KEYS.

"How-" I started to say and she leaned over to kiss my cheek and when she pulled away a fresh pizza was set infront of us.

"When we leave here, I want to take you somewhere." I said feeling the weight of the tiny box burning my thigh.
