Recap: Ranger finalizes plans for the rally, Steph gets nervous about having sex again with Ranger and how to show her feelings. Ranger counts down the seconds as he goes to join her in the apartment, and finds her on the bed, dressed in red lingerie and with something on the bedside table.

Ranger

I stood still for a moment, taking in the scene, my instincts to gather information taking over.

10:00 position: Bedside table with high-quality lube poking out of a Rite-Aid bag. Box of extra lubed condoms sitting next to it.

3:00 position: The rolling suitcase I had insisted Stephanie buy so she could easily carry things with her injured arm, laid open on a chair. Several sex toys on top, including something that looked like a cross between a butt plug and anal beads.

12:00 position: Squirming brunette on the bed, wearing a red teddy and what could only be called underwear through generosity, as it was about the size of a standard tissue folded into quarters. She was laid out on her side so her butt was showing, and she had a wicked grin on her face.

6:00 position: I heard the door to the apartment softly close, and realized I hadn't shut it firmly behind myself, leaving my back exposed. A habit I had had for years. She truly drove me out of my mind. Still, I was glad I had put in a door that would close itself unless propped open. Didn't want any visitors for this.

"Babe"

Stephanie

I had a grin on my face, but I was still a little nervous inside. I mean, I wasn't just agreeing to butt stuff, I was suggesting it. Girls from the 'Burg just don't do that sort of thing unless they were trying to stay virgins until their wedding night, but were worried about their boyfriends leaving them for Joyce Barnhardt. But I had as epiphanie at my desk. I trusted Ranger. I wanted to prove that to him. And this seemed the best way to do it.

"Babe."

That damn word again. "So, Mr. Manoso, how are you feeling?"

In response his eyes turned black and he was in the bed with me in a blink. "Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?"

"Um," my courage faltered a little, "yes?"

He kissed me on my forehead, though I wanted him to kiss other places much more. "You don't sound sure."

Well, I wasn't sure. Was this insane? "I thought you would like it. I mean, you would like to, right?"

He took a slow breath. "Babe, the thought of it is nearly making me come right here and now, but I want, no, I need you to be sure first. And honestly," he actually looked sheepish, "at the moment I want you so badly I don't think it's a great idea. It needs to be done slowly, carefully, and at the moment I feel like a horney teenager."

I nodded slowly, that all made sense. And I wasn't all that surprised. I'd had some drunken conversations with Mary Lou about the backdoor, and she said it was OK as long as they went really slow and used a lot of lube. She reserved it as a treat for his birthday, or if the 76ers had a bad loss and he needed cheering up.

"However," he said, almost smiling, "I do believe I have several rounds in me. Perhaps we could start small." He picked up the toy I had gotten a week ago (was it really only a week?) and leapt panther-like on the bed with me, making me squeal in delight.

He placed a hand behind my head, looking deep into my eyes. Then he raised two fingers to his mouth and licked them, leaving them glistening in the sunlight streaming through the window. As he lowered his lips to mine, a rush went straight to my doo-dah, quickly followed by his fingers.

His tongue entered my mouth at the same time his fingers started flicking my clit. I let out a little gasp that quickly turned to a moan. He turned his fingers in little circles, each one making me wetter.

"Are you ready?" he asked softly, his voice husky and full of tension.

I nodded, hoping this wouldn't hurt.

"Get on all fours, it will make the angle easier on you."

I did as he asked, and heard him put a condom on the probe. I tried to be brave, but I really was nervous. "Let me know if I'm going too fast, or if you want me to stop, OK?"

I nodded, but bit my lip.

He lay down next to me, looking up from his prone position. "I mean it Babe, let me know if you're uncomfortable. I want to to be as good for you as it is for me. Promise me."

"OK, I promise." I felt a little better, but this was still a little scary. He grabbed the lube off the table and gently returned to his position behind me, leaving a trail of kisses as he went.

Ranger

Mierda. Oh, mierda. No puedo creer que esto esté sucediendo. (Shit. Oh shit. I can't believe this is happening.)

I drizzled the lube onto the probe until it was practically dripping, then surveyed the scene before me. Stephanie, up on all fours, her ass wiggling invitingly in front of me. Focus Manoso. Do this right, don't fuck it up. I didn't want to think about what would happen if I did.

The probe was a set of 4 balls on a rod, each one bigger than the last. It looked kind of like someone had strung up a purple snowman on a rope. I pressed the tip against her star, and she gasped. "Are you OK?"

"Yeah, it's just kind of cold."

"I'll warm it up." I put some lube on my hands and rubbed them together, then coated the probe again. This time when I eased it against her she let out a little moan, but of pleasure, not pain or discomfort. Her star opened and closed, and I pushed it in a little further.

Stephanie

This wasn't so bad. In fact, if felt pretty good. Ranger was being gentle and careful, letting my body adjust. The feeling was actually just a lot like really having to go to the bathroom, until I reminded myself that it was just the probe, I wasn't going to accidentally take a shit on Ranger's bed.

Just when it felt like it was too big, he kissed my hip. "It's in, are you ready?"

I nodded and he gently turned me onto my back, his hands slick with the lube. His fingers slid up my inner thigh as his mouth sucked on my button.

I exploded in sensation as I felt him in me, on me, his hands and the probe filling me while he sucked on my clit. I gasped hard, trying to get in enough oxygen. It became even harder as his other hand rubbed against my breasts, leaving me slick and feeling like I might burst from it all. I felt the familiar build-up as I came closer and closer to the peak, then arched my back as my muscles contracted and the orgasm hit me like a freight train.

Ranger

I smiled to myself as her walls clamped down on my fingers, knowing what was about to come, or rather who was about to come. As her orgasm started I pushed myself up her body, covering it with mine, and kissed her at the same time I entered her. Between the clenching of her pussy, 4 days without sex, and the faint feel of the beads inside her I came to after only a few seconds, collapsing on top of her, barely having the energy to hold the bulk of my weight off her body.

Stephanie

Well shit. That was awesome. I attempted to say something along those lines, but it came out "Osht. Tat wasm." I think he got the idea though.

After a few minutes of just lying together he asked "Ready for round two?"

I nodded, struggling to get to my knees again. He held me around my waist and gently pulled out the probe, with each bulb I clenched and unclenched. Then he pressed himself against me, easing himself in to replace it. It was an odd feeling, not quite as good as regular sex, but when he started to rub my clit again I forgot all about that and rode him like he way a pony at the circus..

Ranger

With each thrust her muscles gripped me, holding me tight just like her embrace. As I fell into bliss, I wondered how I had ever managed to stay away from her for a moment, let alone the years it had taken us to get together.
