A/N: Just a short story separate from Time For Someday and Married life. This was stuck in my head and had to get it on paper. Hope you enjoy.
I woke up to a gentle shake on my shoulder. I jumped and squealed while pulling my gun. I was tangled in the sheets and fell off the bed but still managed to aim the gun on the intruder standing in my bedroom. Tank peered down at me.
"Put away the gun little girl and get dressed." He said.
"Tank why the hell are you in my bedroom at." I paused to look at the clock. "Two in the morning.
"Just get dressed. I have coffee. I'll explain on the way. You have five minutes or your leaving exactly how you are. It's raining and muddy." He said.
He shut the door and I got out of bed flipping on a light. What the hell was going on? Was something going on with Ranger? Ranger and I were in an almost relationship. We had started to talk about it. What we needed and wanted. How we would do this, so to speak the ground rules. I was finally getting someday and something could have happened to Ranger.
I dressed quickly. Haphazardly pulling on clothes. I slipped on jeans over my panties, and quickly threw on a bra. I was wearing one of Ranger's, Rangeman shirts. I pulled on a jacket and my Cat boots, tucking my gun into the back of my jeans. I pulled my hair into a ponytail as I walked out of my room.
"Let's roll Tank." I said heading to the door. The man sputtered and followed. Bobby stood in the hall looking grim.
"What happened to him?" I asked as we walked down the stairs.
"Its not good bomber."
I felt my heart stutter as I stumbled. "What happened Bobby?"
"Ranger got stuck in a well."
"What do you mean he got stuck in a well?" I asked as we stepped outside into the pouring rain.
"We were rescuing a kid. A friend of Ranger is the father. Anyway Ranger went down to get the kid out and on the way back up the hoist started to slip. So Ranger threw the kid up and over the side and tumbled back down to the bottom of the well. Then it started pouring and now we can't get him out."
"Why do you need me?"
"To cheer him up." Bobby said. I rolled my eyes.
Twenty minutes later we pulled up to an old farm house. I stumbled out of the SUV and followed Bobby and Tank up the hill to where the canapy with lights was set up. I walked to the edge to see Ranger and Lester at the bottom. Ranger looked up at me and Lester followed.
"Babe." Ranger said.
"Beautiful." Les said. I shook my head.
"You didn't tell me Lester was down there with him. No wonder he needs cheering up." I said to Tank over my shoulder so Ranger and Les could hear it. Les fained hurt and Ranger chuckled.
"Status report Tank." Ranger called up.
"We're working on it. Should have you out within the next couple hours. We've got a few plans we're going to try." Tank said.
I looked down at Ranger. "Ya know for once I get to rescue you." I said. He chuckled shaking his head.
"Laugh it up babe. Payback's a bitch."
"I want to get burned batman." I purred at him. His blank face dropped to reveal a seductive smirk.
"Damn man. The temp just went up twenty degrees down here. You two need to cool it. You can fuck each others brains out when we got out of here." Les said.
"Les!" I yelled at the same time Ranger cuffed him on the back of his head and yelled Santos.
He grumbled and pouted in the back corner of the wall. "Do you need anything Ranger?"
"No, we're good for now babe." He said.
I sat down with my legs crossed looking down at the two men. "So watcha want to talk about?" I asked. Ranger sat down against one of the walls while Les spread out Eagle on the ground.
Les grinned a dazzling smile at me. "When are you finally going to go out on a date with me beautiful?" He asked.
Ranger kicked him in the shoulder. "What was that for man?" Les asked Ranger.
Ranger said something to him in Spanish and Les laughed and said something back, that seemed to piss Ranger off more. Tank came walking up. "Ready to get out of there?" He asked.
"Yes." They both said at the same time. I watched as a ladder was rolled out and dropped into the hole. Les climbed out first and then Ranger. Ranger slipped as he tried to right himself. I grabbed his hand and yanked him to me launching us both backwards. Ranger landed on top of me and I left out an oomph.
"Are you alright babe?" He asked.
"Fine." I said sitting up. He was between my legs, arms on either side of me. His breath fanned my neck and chin. He looked up into my eyes and I watched as they turned dark black, with lust, but there was something else there too.
"Hey." I said softly.
"Babe." He said back. I leaned in and kissed him slowly. He opened his mouth to mine as I traced his lips with my tongue requesting access. He moaned as my tongue explored his mouth. I wrapped my legs around his hips.
"Break it up Ranger." Tank said. We pulled back to see most of the emergency response crews and the Rangemen watching us.
Ranger pulled me up. "We're offline for the next forty eight hours tank." Ranger said. I grinned. He pulled me to the Turbo.
I settled into my seat and looked at Ranger. I let out a breath and he took my hand. "I can't do another morning like last time." I said softly.
He pulled my hand over to him and kissed the back of it. "It won't be babe. I've been waiting on you. This is someday babe." He said.
What Ranger said to Les:
"Back the fuck off Santos. That's my woman." [Ranger]
"She won't be your woman anymore soon, if you don't make your move. All of the men are lining up to take your place me included." [Les]
