Chapter 6
Carlos POV:
I watched Steph's car pull into the driveway and I smiled to myself. Santos next to me scoffed. "You really that hung up on her?" he asked.
"Shut up Santos," I said. I walked out the front door as she got out of the car.
"Babe." I grinned walking up to her. She smiled at me. I was struck again with how gorgeous she was. She was breath taking. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her and she melted against me.
"Ranger! Where'd you go man?" One of the guys called from out back.
"I'll be there in a minute," I yelled back. Steph smiled.
"Let's go before they get impatient." I told her. She smiled, and I wrapped my arm around her waist as we walked inside. I led her through the kitchen and out the back doors.
The party was in full swing. Tank was at the grill, Bobby was flirting with some girl, and Les was launching himself off the diving board. Numerous guys from the base hung around, along with their wives and girlfriends. There were plenty of single women here, no doubt invited by Les and Bobby.
"You've met the guys," I told her. "We invited some of the guys from the base and their wives and girlfriends."
"The women outnumber the men," Steph said, with a raised eyebrow.
"Les and Bobby's doing."
"The playboys," she guessed. I nodded.
We settled into the table next to Tank at the grill. I reached into the ice chest and pulled out a beer. "You good with beer?"
She nodded. I opened both and handed her one. I pulled her tight into my side as we sat there. Brian slid into the seat across from us.
"So, who's this?" he asked me.
"This is Stephanie," I said since Steph was taking a sip of her beer. She smiled at him and shook his hand.
"I'm Brian, the new kid on the block," he said, grinning.
"Are you also in the Army?"
He nodded. "Fresh out of Ranger school. They sent me down here to join Ranger's team."
She nodded. "What's it like having him as your CO?"
"Steph," I chuckled.
"No, I can't ask the other guys because they've known you so long," she told me.
I grinned and motioned for Brian to answer her. "Well, he's a hard ass."
Steph chuckled. "No, I'm kidding. He's fair, but he doesn't accept failure. I've learned a hell of a lot from him."
She smiled at him, and I wrapped my arm around her. I pulled her in closer. I and watched as Ralph brought his wife over.
"Ranger," He said nodding to me. "And who is this lovely lady?"
"Stephanie," she said.
"I'm Ralph and this is my wife, Abby."
"Pleasure to meet you, Stephanie," She said. Steph smiled and shook her hand.
"Call me Steph." She smiled.
"Would you like to go meet some of the girls?"
Steph raised an eyebrow. "Not the ones hanging around trying to get their hands on a soldiers. The girlfriends and wives."
Steph smiled. "Let's go."
She stood and smiled down at me before kissing me softly and leaving with Abby. She walked over to the girls that were all sitting at a picnic table on the other side of the yard. She smiled over her shoulder at me, and I smiled back.
Steph POV:
It was weird sitting at the table with the other girlfriends and wives. There were so many more scantily clad women trying to grab the attention of the men.
"So, Steph, how long have you been seeing Ranger?" Beth, one of the women asked me.
"About a week," I answered. This got eyebrow raises. "What?"
"You gotta understand," Ruth started, another one of the women, started. "Ranger doesn't bring women home, he doesn't bring them to the cookouts, he doesn't entertain them for more than one night."
"So, I am the first?" I asked. I was a little stunned, although he had explained some of it before.
"And the only," Abby said.
"Oh shit," Rebecca said.
"What?"
"Turn around."
I turned in my seat and felt my heart stop. A woman pressed herself against Carlos. She was a gorgeous leggy blond, with what looked like fake boobs, bleached hair, and overdone makeup. She wore a very revealing bikini and pressed her fake boobs all over Carlos. He stepped back but she followed him. I watched as his face hardened as she tried to kiss him. I stood and walked over to where he was.
"Ranger, we can have our own fun. We don't need to stay here," she purred in her best sex kitten voice.
"Carlos," I said as I approached. He smiled at me.
"Babe."
I wrapped my arm around his waist and the woman stepped back. "I see you have found a friend," I said, putting emphasis on the word friend.
"My name is Rachel," the blond said. I raised an eyebrow. "Your hands are on my man."
I felt, more than heard, Carlos growl. "Your what?" he asked.
"Ranger, you can't deny that I'm your woman," she said.
"Rachel, we spent one night together almost a year ago," he said. She grinned at me.
"I'm not delusional," I told her. "I know Carlos has spent time with other women. Otherwise, he wouldn't be as skilled of a lover as he is. He wouldn't have been able to put me in the state he did last night if he hadn't."
She scoffed. "You're just a stop on his way back to me," she spat. She stuck her chest out at him and batted her eyes.
"Rachel, you need to leave. I don't want you coming back," Carlos said.
"You can't mean that," she said, stomping her foot.
"Leave, now!" he growled at her. She stomped her way out the side gate.
"Lester, Bobby!" Carlos growled.
"What man?" Les said.
"Come here," Carlos said.
"Carlos, you don't have to start anything..."
"Babe, the both of them did this on purpose. They knew I was bringing you and they invited her. They think I'm just going to turn around and fuck her while you're sitting out here with everyone else."
"I don't care what they think or were trying to do. As long as you didn't do it, I'm happy ok." I said.
Carlos POV:
Les and Bobby strolled up to me. I sent a look at the both of them.
"Why was she here?"
"Who?" Les asked with a grin.
"Rachel."
"Didn't you fuck her a while back?" He asked, grinning.
"Lester."
"What man? She wanted to see you again," he shrugged.
"Bobby?"
"Les invited everyone. I was on store runs," Bobby said.
"I don't want to see Rachel here again."
"Ranger, come on. You know this one's just like the others..."
"Shut the hell up, Santos!" I growled.
"Whatever, man," he said. He turned and walked away. Steph sighed.
"Truly man, I didn't know he was inviting her. I would have warned you," Bobby said.
"Yeah," I said. He walked off and I looked down at Steph.
"You want to go somewhere else, Babe? Dinner? Back to your condo?"
"No, I don't want to ruin this for you," she said. "I can leave if they're that uncomfortable with me being here."
I pulled her to my front. "Hey," I said. She looked up at me. There was confusion in her eyes. "This isn't the woman I know, what's wrong?"
"I don't want to cause problems between you and your men," she said.
"You aren't. They caused this," I told her. "Now, Babe what do you want to do?"
"I want to stay and eat and have a good time," she smiled at me. I leaned down and kissed her softly.
"Good," I grinned down at her. "Now, let's get you into a bikini so I can get you in the pool."
"I have a surprise for you," she purred. I raised an eyebrow.
"What's that?" I asked her. My hands roamed from her hips to down over her ass. She grinned as I pressed myself against her.
"Better calm that down or all the bimbos will be hanging off of you." She grinned.
"You need to go change before I chuck you in that pool," I told her.
"Lead the way, solider boy."
I grinned and took her hand, leading her inside. I took her down the hall and opened my bedroom door. She studied my room and looked over her shoulder at me.
"Your very organized and neat," she said.
I raised an eyebrow. "Military Babe."
She smiled softly. "So, you're telling me if I were to go into Les or Bobby's rooms they would be this clean?"
I shook my head. "Babe."
She kicked off the heels she was wearing and began to strip. I would be lying if I said I didn't want to throw her onto my bed and make her scream. She stripped naked and bent over to grab her purse. I couldn't help myself.
My hands found her hips and she pressed back against me. "Carlos," she moaned softly, standing up. Her bare back against my clothed front.
"What's this surprise you have for me Babe?"
She turned in my arms and I caught a flash of silver. I pulled her back from me slightly and grinned. "Bars?"
"They seem to be the only set I can find." She smiled.
"Mmm, I guess this means I do owe you." I said cupping her breast. My thumbs stroked over her hard nipples and the warm metal pierced through them. She pushed against me, and I grinned.
"You know what I think?" I asked.
"Hmm?" she asked, pressing closer.
"I think you need a chain that connects these three piercings," I told her. My hands roamed from her breast to her belly button piercing. She grinned up at me. I kissed her again and smacked her on the ass.
"Get dressed. We'll deal with that tonight," I whispered into her ear. She whimpered softly. She pulled a royal blue bikini out of her bag and slipped it on. It was modest, covering her assets but you could make out the bars through the top.
"Damn, you're going to be the death of me." I growled.
She grinned. "Come on baby," she purred.
"Baby?" I grinned
"Honey?"
"Do you think I'm sweet, Babe?" I chuckled.
"Dear?"
"Carino, Querido, amante, amore..."
"Amore," I growled softly.
"Amore it is," she purred. She leaned up and kissed me. Pushing my shirt up, I stripped it off tossing it into the basket. She giggled.
"You're a neat freak." She grinned.
"I am not," I told her. "I like things to be in their places."
"Hmm," she said, not looking convinced.
I led her back outside. Picking her up, I ran to the pool. "Carlos!" she screamed.
"Don't you dare!" she yelled.
I jumped, curling her into me as we hit the water. She came up sputtering. I surveyed her. Her hair was soaked hanging down dripping, water dripping off her nose and chin, her eyebrows raised, brow furrowed and eyes ablaze. She was gorgeous when she was angry. My eyes roamed lower and grinned when I noticed her nipples straining against her top.
"I'm going to get you," she glared at me.
"You wish."
Her arm slashed across the water sending a stream of water at me. I grinned and sent one back, but she was already gone. To late did I realize that she was underwater and yanking my leg out from under me. Steph swam away into the people playing volleyball. I gave her a look to expect payback.
XXXXXX
After everything wrapped up, I took Steph into my bedroom. "Take a shower with me?" she asked as she stripped off her suit. I watched her walk into the bathroom. I growled and followed her. She was already in the stall, water cascading over her body.
I stepped in behind her and pulled her back against my body. My hands roamed up to her chest and my lips her neck. Nipping and sucking gently at the skin, she pressed back against me. "Carlos," She moaned softly.
I pulled on her bars, and she arched, bucking her hips against mine. "Carlos." She moaned louder this time.
"Hands on the wall Babe," I growled in her ear.
She bent over and arched her hips back against mine. "Amante," she moaned.
I kissed her shoulders and trailed them down her spine. Gripping her hips, I rubbed myself against her. She was so hot, so wet.
"Damn it," I groaned. "I need to get a condom."
"I'm clean and I'm on two forms of birth control," she said. "Are you clean?"
"Yes. Jesus, Babe. I've never been in a woman without a condom," I growled softly. She looked over her shoulder at me.
"Never?"
"Never," I responded. She pushed her hips back to me; I grabbed them and started to push into her.
She moaned. "All the way," she purred.
I thrust all the way in and stopped. "Babe!" I growled.
I started to rock into her, I moved one hand to the wall steadying myself as I rocked into her. She pushed back against me, with each thrust. I found myself thrusting into her, harder, faster.
Her cries filled the shower stall as I pounded into her. "Carlos!" She moaned.
"What do you want Babe?" I growled.
"Anything. God, Carlos, anything Please!"
My hand came down on her ass and she moaned again. "I'm so close."
My hand found her clit, strumming it, before pinching it. She came around me, clenching my cock tightly. I came, shooting my cum into her. She milked me, taking every ounce. Still shaking under me, I pulled her up and supported her, my cock still in her, semi hard.
"Let's get cleaned up and then make our way to the bed," I said in her ear. I turned her head and kissed her as deep as I could from this position.
She sighed contently. "We should, but I find myself not wanting to move."
"I could say the same, but eventually we'll run out of hot water."
She giggled. "We wouldn't like that."
