I apologize for the five or so month delay in this story- a rather malicious PM took the winds out of my sail and then real life took a very nasty turn at the end of November which took my muse with it. I made a promise to all of you readers at the very beginning of this story that I would finish it and that is a promise I intend to keep. I appreciate each and everyone who has read, reviewed, and or alerted Holiday Weekend. A special thanks to highlands girl for her words of encouragement and gentle reminders about this story.

This is a short chapter, and the rating has gone up, but felt like it was a good place to pick up after being on such a long hiatus. I only envision three or four more chapters followed by an epilogue. I have done a bit of editing to the first eight or so chapters in the last few months if anyone feels the need to re-read. Thanks again for reading and please let me know what you think.

The last thing I remember was Carlos crawling into bed beside me, spooning himself to my back. All I could think was maybe this weekend wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Chapter 9

mmmmm the spell of fresh coffee and Bvlgari assaulted my senses and began awaking me from dreamland. I felt feather soft kisses being placed down my spine and I bit my lower lip in the hopes of stifling my moan so that I could continue to enjoy Rangers attempts to rouse me. I must have failed miserably because before I realized what was happening the sheet that had pooled at my waist was ripped away and the Man of Mystery placed a love bite on my left ass cheek causing me to shriek. I flipped over to glare at the above mentioned man, as he was chuckling at me only to see his eyes change to dark chocolate in color as they explored my body. It took my sleep clouded mind a minute to realize I was lying there, completely naked on full display. When I came too I quickly tried to cover myself with my hands and whatever else I could find only the have Ranger reach down and pull them away. I turned my head away to avoid his watchful eye and attempted to rise from the bed only to feel myself being pushed back down from the weight of his beautiful body resting on top of mine.

Ranger took my chin in his hand and turned me back to face him, repeating, by whispering in my ear, words he said last night "don't hide from me Babe."

I gave him a soft smile and brought my hand up to rest on his face saying "morning" with a voice still raspy from sleep.

"Buenos días mi amor"* Ranger replied with a smile brighter then the sunshine seeping though the curtains.

I was unable to bite back a moan, does this man not know what it does to me when he speaks in his native tongue, combine that with his delicious weight and I swear I could feel the moisture pooling between my thighs. Taking my moan as some sort of consent Ranger tilted his head and began placing wet open mouth kisses along my jaw leading to my mouth, right before he reached his destination I turned away offering up my neck in return mumbling "morning breath" in ways of an apology. Sucking on my pulse point with enough pressure to make me ach with need yet not enough to mark me he mumbled a "don't care" before finding a way to capture my lips in a demanding kiss that had me gasping and Ranger delighted as he was able to gain entrance into my mouth. As our tongues explored and fed upon each others hunger for our hearts other half I couldn't help but to arch my back to press my aching and hard nipples into his chest, feeling them grow into even tighter peaks as they brushed against his textured Polo. Ranger groaned and moved his hand under my back to hold me closer while rocking his hips into mine; I could feel just how happy he was this morning. As we broke apart for air I couldn't help but give him a cheeky smile and comment on my observations.

"You seemed to be rather happy this morning" I said while rocking my hips into his rather impressive, hard cock.

"Lots to be happy about Babe" Ranger replied while pushing his hips into mine, effectively pinning me to the mattress. He must have assumed I was confused by his comment because he continued speaking all the while rocking against my center "the love of my life, the other half of my heart and soul is laying naked in my bed" he paused to gently kiss my lips before saying "let me amend that OUR bed."

I attempted to raise a single eyebrow in question but from the look on his face I am assuming I failed miserably.

"It's our bed Babe, because everything that I have is not just mine, it's yours as well. You said you would have me, allow me to share my life with you, and that you would share yours with me, that it would become ours. I'm holding you to that Babe" he finished his explanation with a nip to my bottom lip.

At that moment I reached my arms around his neck to keep his lips joined to mine, eager too again kiss the man of my dreams. I couldn't help but think at this point, morning breath be dammed as I traced the seam of his lips with my tongue asking for entrance, which Ranger gave with no restraint. When we finally broke apart due to the need for oxygen Ranger rested his forehead against mine and I whispered against his lips "I will have your for as long as you want me."

"Forever" Ranger whispered back.

"Forever" I echoed, sealing the declaration with a kiss.

As Ranger continued to pepper my face with kisses, my hands began to wander and explore his beautiful body. He was extremely overdressed for my liking and I needed to do something, quick! I pushed my hands under his polo and began raising it up his back while gently scrapping my nails against his stunning mocha latte skin. This seems to meet his approval because I heard him groan before his teeth latched onto my earlobe and pulled. I swear it's a good think I'm not wearing any panties as they would be ruined. As Ranger detached himself from my ear and helped me by pulling his shirt over his head I began kissing his carved chest and ran my tongue around one nipple while teasing the other with my nail. I heard him suck in a deep breath and push his chest against me so I decided to continue being the aggressor for a change. I began walking my fingers down his chest, thankful that he was supporting most of his weight with his forearms as it allowed me easier access, when I reached the waistband of his jeans I ran my fingers across the top letting them dip inside just a bit. God what this man could do to me.

Just as I was about to unsnap the button and free his achingly hard length from it's confides I heard the door handle rattle.

Ranger and I both froze and turned our heads to the door. A few seconds later we heard the rattle again followed by "Tía Estefi, where are you?"

I sucked in a deep breath and Ranger mumbled "mierda,"** whatever that means.

Before either of us could answer it sounded like Lexi began to bang her fists on the door while saying in a rather loud voice "Tía Estefi, Tío Carlos, open please, we come room"

Ranger and I both looked at each other and we seemed to have a moment of ESP because I knew he was telling me to get into the shower while he took care of the little ones.

Just as I reached the bathroom door I heard Lexi one more time, saying "Open please you watch us now!"

* Buenos días mi amor/Good morning my love.

**Mierda/Shit
