Chapter 6

Stephanie's POV

The fact that Lester stopped me from making a mistake that could change us says a lot about his character and his friendship. He's not the person that he leads most people to believe he is. He's a good man and I love him a lot. He's been respectful and tender and caring through this whole…what?

What is this game we have been playing? Why has he invested so much of his time in the game and me with little satisfaction for himself? Ranger holds a special place in my heart. He might be Batman, but I'm just a woman. Waiting for him to decide if he wants to let me in is wrecking my life and my wellbeing. I'm just going to end up alone if I don't go on with my life. I have a lot to think about. I rolled over in my empty bed and closed my eyes.

I was bored the next day at work. I had just a few searches and the rest of the time was spent waiting. Then I got an idea. All work and no play and all that stuff.

I started looking for pictures on the Internet. I photo shopped Tank's head on a scantily clad Betty Boop. Then I photo shopped Ranger's on to a cartoon Jackass, tail swishing and butthole was winking. Then I put Lester's head on a female with huge boobs half hanging out. I found a woman dressed in a slutty nurse Halloween outfit and put Bobby's face on it. When I was happy with my pictures I went to the office email and clicked to send the pictures to all the computers in the building.

About five minutes later small chuckles began and after another five minutes they amplified to huge guffaws. Five minutes after that I heard a voice I recognized bellow, "Stephanie Plum, my office stat!"

I moseyed into Tank's office and plopped in the chair in front of his desk. The corners of his mouth were twitching.

"I don't have to ask where these unauthorized and inappropriate emails came from because I already know which computer they originated from."

"Jeez Tank, lighten up. It's not like I sent nudie pictures around the office. Except for Lester's and the boobs." His lips were twitching really badly now.

"How should I punish you for this? I can't dock your pay and I can't take you to the mats."

I batted my eyelashes. "You wanna' spank me Tankie?"

With that he busted. "Get your little ass out of my office before I really do spank you, you little shit. For the record, when I show Ranger that jackass picture you will be getting your spanking."

"Oh goody," I threw back at him. I heard him guffaw.

On the way back to my cubby I got a few thumbs up and lots of winks. Lester was waiting for me leaning up against the wall with arms crossed. He grinned. "So how bad was it?"

"Piece of cake. I broke the big guy," and I winked at him.

He barked with laughter and kissed me on the cheek. "See you tonight."

He came in with a bag of groceries and kissed me.

"What's in the bag?" His eyebrows waggled at me.

"Ready?"

He went to the bathroom and came back with a big towel and spread it on the kitchen table then told me to come over with his finger.

"Undress except for your panties." I did it and I did it fast.

"Steph, what did I teach you about undressing? Slow. You just ruined the moment for your partner."

"I can't help it. I'm really, really horny tonight. Now keep talking, keep going." A little grin spread across his face.

"Lay down on the table."

He hooked his fingers into my panties on both sides and slowly pulled them down, using his thumb to create sensations down my thighs as he took them off. I groaned. Ranger might be magic but Lester was the master of my thighs and other parts.

He took the panties, rolled them and placed them across my eyes. I heard the rustle of a bag and then shit, something cold sprayed onto my nipple. He grasped my nipple with his mouth and sucked and laved it. I nearly came off the table and he held me in place with one hand. I was vibrating already. He did it to the other nipple.

Oh, jeez, shit, he just started and I was ready to end this in a blaze of glory and hot spasms. He said, "Open your mouth."

I don't like to disappoint, especially when I'm at the receiving end of the deal. I opened wide. He rolled what I knew was an olive across my lip and popped it in. "Yum. I love olives." He chuckled, "I know you do."

Then he pulled my legs apart and put my knees up. Ohhh, dear what now?

He parted my lips, popped an olive inside me, put his mouth down and sucked that olive right out then laved my clit. I bucked like a bronco and came hard. "What the…Holy…Shit!" He gently rubbed my thighs until they stopped quivering.

"You're so beautiful when you orgasm Steph. You're so wet I want to sink my cock in you right now."

"Do it Les. Put it in now."

"Do what? Tell me what you want and where you want it."

"Put your big hot cock in my wet juicy pussy now and fuck me hard. Fuck me now Lester!"

"That's what I want to hear." He unzipped and wet his cock up and down me and omigod I closed my eyes.…Then he was gone.

Then I heard a smack and a thud, growling and a crash. Now I know there is no snake in my apartment. Ah, maybe I should look. I pulled the panties off my eyes and sat up. I shrieked….

I jumped off the table and ran to where the two men were fighting on the floor. They were both trying to choke each other. Oh, fuck what do I do. First, I pulled my panties on and then I went to the kitchen and got a cup of water, ran back, and pitched it on them.

Didn't do a damn thing. Fuck I'm going to need a fire hose they are still trying to kill each other.

I got my stun gun out. "Stop now or I will stun you both!" I yelled.

When I turned the gun on that got their attention. They roughly pushed away from each other. Both had bloody faces and lips and were red faced.

"What the hell are you doing here Ranger and when are you going to start knocking like normal people do?"

"What the fuck is going on here?"

"What did it look like Ranger?" His eyes raked me up and down, stopped at my naked breasts and then went to my eyes. There was fire there and maybe some rage lingering near the surface. Whoa, they were scary. But, I wasn't going to be intimidated. I struck a pose with my hands on my hips and tossed my hair. Over his shoulder I saw Lester grin. Uh oh, Ranger's eyes became two shades darker.

"Where the fuck is Morelli? Why are you with my friend and Santos why are with my woman?"

"Your woman?" I shrieked at him, "Let's back it up. Did you just hear the stupid question that you asked? You have some nerve. You made a sleazy deal with me for a one-night fuck for help with a skip and the next morning you got up and pitched me back to Morelli! Your lifestyle doesn't lend itself to relationships remember? I never really wanted to go back to Morelli."

"Get the fuck out of here Santos," he growled at him.

"No, Lester stays and you're getting the fuck out! And by the way, I quit Rangeman too!"

He glared at me and headed to the door. On the way to the door he said, "Santos the jet will be ready to leave for Miami in two hours. Pack your shit and be on it." The door slammed and he was gone.

Lester looked at me. "He really did that to you? He made a deal to sleep with you? Did he actually tell you to go back to Morelli?"

"Yes he did Lester and it hurt me. That night meant something to me. What it felt like was him using me and just pitching me away like a prostitute. Then in a couple weeks he was "in the wind" again. Gone."

"Gorgeous, you got a bikini?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Pack it. Pack a bag with some pretty dresses and FMPs, some sexy lingerie and come with. You haven't had a vacation in a while." He winked at me.

"I can't. I thought about Ranger. He was angry and would probably be giving me the silent treatment or stalking me and making my life miserable. If I went, it would give him a chance to cool down. "This just might get you fired Les. I have never seen him so angry." He shrugged his shoulders. "Steph, if he fires me it'll be fine. All of the core team is wealthy. Not just Ranger. We made a lot of money on missions and we invested well. Besides, I own part of Rangeman."

"That's really great for you guys after all the danger you put yourselves in."

I packed really fast. Lester grabbed the stuff he liked out of my closet and my drawers and we grabbed Rex and left.

"You take Rex to your mothers and I will go pack and I'll meet you back here. He kissed me." "Lester, do me a favor and tell Hal to come get Ranger's car. I don't want it here." He nodded.

Lester pulled up in a black Dodge Viper SRT10. "Wow, hot car Lester."

"I thought maybe I should have my own car at the airport when we return." In another hour we were going up the ladder to the plane. Lester led me to a particular chair to buckle up until the plane took off.
