Lester opened the gate to the garage and drove down the ramp to an empty space and parked. Bobby jogged around the car and helped me to get out of the truck. As we stood there he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me on the top of the head. When we pulled away his cell phone rang, sighing he took it off his belt and walked away taking the call.

"There's no need to worry Beautiful" Les said coming to lean on the car next to me "The guys won't say anything or do anything to you being in Bobby's. We all know there is something going on between you two, so it's only logical you'd be there"

"That was Tank, Manny's puking his guts up. I need to go see him, Steph you go on up to five and grab something to eat, I'll call you when I'm done and you can meet me in my exam room" Bobby said jogging back over to us

"Sure" I said as we all went over to the elevator. Bobby pushed four and Les and I pushed five. When the car stopped for Bobby he pulled me to him and kissed me

"See you all do that in front of everyone now, so we all know" Les said as the door slid closed

"It was just that you all knew me as always being up on seven with Ranger and I thought it may be awkward to know and see me come from four instead"

"Steph the only thing that's wrong with it is that it's not my room you're coming out of"

"Lester" I scolded

"Truthfully though, that is the only thing. The guys will be jealous it's not them your with" he told me sadly

I looked over at Lester and saw the same look pass over his face that he had in my bedroom that night. When the door opened again it was quickly gone as he pushed off the wall of the elevator car and walked onto the command room floor.

"Lester" I called out as I walked behind him

"Yea?" he asked as he turned around

"Thank you for everything" I told him wrapping my arms around him and hugging him. I just had to let him know that I loved him. It wasn't the same love I felt for Bobby but it was love just the same.

"Anything and anytime" he said smiling down at me when I looked up at him

Les and I parted ways after that. He went to his cube and I did as Bobby told me. When I got into the kitchen, I went straight over to the coffee pot. I stood there for a minute and inhaled the aroma of the freshly brewed pot, grabbing a RangeMan coffee mug from the drainer, I filled it, and added milk.

"MMMM this is good" I said closing my eyes as the hot liquid slid down my throat

Taking a few more sips of my hot drink, I made my way over to the fridge. It was basically always the same foods for lunch but Ella had started stocking some flavored yogurts for me. This way Ranger couldn't get ticked that I was eating cherry cheese cake because it was only yogurt, the only drawback was that the guys liked the flavors too. As soon as Ella stocked them they disappeared, seeing there were no yogurts I selected an apple and a sandwich. I carted myself and my food over to the nearest table to sit and eat and wait on Bobby's call.

While I was wrincing my cup out, my phone began to ring on the table. Sitting my mug into the sink, I ran over and grabbed it, smiling when I saw Bobby's name flashing telling me he was the caller. Hitting talk I heard his deep voice on the other end.

"Hello"

"Hey baby I'm in the exam room fixing to get the stitches out. Come meet me" Bobby said

"How's Manny, Is he going to be ok?" I asked

"He will be. He's got a bad case of food poison. I gave him a phenagren and have Zero looking in on him"

"Ewww! Where did he go to eat?"

"Ha-ha Steph he wasn't in too much of a mood to talk" Bobby said while I was walking towards the elevator to go to him

I got to the room and the door was standing open. I leaned quietly against the door and listened and watched as Bobby sat shirtless on the stainless steel table with Tank standing right behind him. They didn't know I was there so I took the opportunity to do something I rarely get to do, see Bobby in charge and in his element. He was large and in charge and I found my hormones starting to race. He commanded the room with authority without being a smart ass or barking out orders. He told Tank how to snip the threads and then how to pull them out. I finally made my presence known and Bobby looked up over at me as Tank got to work.

"Hey Baby" Bobby said wincing as Tank must have hit a tender spot

"Hey" I said back keeping my eyes on his bare chest watching the muscles flex

"Ok Brown I think your done" Tank announced a few minutes later, gathering up everything around, and tossing it into the trash

"Thanks Man feels good to be mobile again" I heard Bobby say as Tank left the room

Bobby jumped off the table and stretched his body and moved around since he could now having the stitches out. My eyes went from his chest down to his six pack well built abs. I felt my mouth go dry and my heart speed up. Hearing a small sound, I looked up to see Bobby smirking at me.

"Umm I was umm" I babbled

Bobby crooked one of his long fingers at me in a come hither motion. Walking up to him, he pulled me hard into his chest that I was earlier admiring. Lowering his head next to mine, his lips skimmed the shell of my ear.

"I know. It's the same way when I look at you" he whispered and my knees buckled

I opened my eyes to stare into onyx ones. The desire I saw in them was almost overwhelming. When our mouths touched and then our tongues, fire ripped thru me. When our kiss broke because the need for air was too great, I spoke with ragged breath.

"I wanna go upstairs now" I said making Bobby smile

Bobby circled his arm around my waist as we walked over to the door. Turning off the lights and locking the door we walked down the hallway to the elevator. Once inside he pulled me close and kissed me again. I didn't care anymore that they guys could see or knew where I was going.
