Chapter Four

Sam dropped Stephanie off at the hotel, and she practically ran up to her room after grabbing a key at the front desk.

Bursting through the door she shouted, "She likes him! She likes him!"

Ranger came out of the bathroom, fresh from the shower with a towel slung across his hips; droplets of water shining on his smooth chest.

"I hope you're talking about me and you, Babe."

"Noooo, I'm talking about Sam and Bobby. She told me this afternoon while we were at Victoria's Secret. She likes him!"

"That's great, Babe. But tell me," he said, leisurely crossing the room and eying her intently, "did you buy anything for me while you were shopping?" Ranger took her in his arms and slowly rubbed her back while placing soft kisses down the column of her neck.

When they parted, she was breathless. "I don't know," she teased, "why don't you wait until I get out of the shower and I'll tell you." She sashayed to the bathroom, shaking her hips as she went. Ranger growled.

"Need any help in there?" Ranger asked. "You know I'm good in the shower."

"No thanks, I can handle it."

Stephanie stripped out of the clothes she'd been wearing since early that morning and stood under the steaming hot water. As soon as she had her mass of curls thoroughly wet, she opened her eyes to see Ranger standing in front of her sporting an enormous erection.

"Jeez, Carlos, make some noise will you."

"I was planning on you making all the noise, Babe." Ranger pushed her back to the wall of the shower and thrust his hips against hers. She pressed into him before stopping herself, "You know we're meeting Bobby and Sam for dinner at 7:00. Do you think we have enough time, Batman?"

"There's always time to make you scream my name," he replied in a husky voice.

In one swift motion, Ranger pulled both of Stephanie's wrists over her head and pinned them to the wall. She moaned as he began kissing her gently, starting at her temple and working his way down. He ran his tongue along the seam of her mouth and his kiss became more urgent and demanding. She opened her lips and greedily accepted his tongue. While one hand held her wrists in place, the other stroked along the side of her body; gently skimming the side her breasts making her nipples stand on edge. She felt a gush of moisture between her legs that had nothing to do with the water cascading around her.

Ranger took her right nipple in his mouth, sucking and nipping gently while slowly teasing her left nipple with his free hand. Stephanie moaned under his masterful touch and rocked her hips forward. "Patience, Babe," he whispered.

His hand moved down her flat belly towards her moist center. His fingers slowly traced the inside of her thighs driving her crazy with desire. Before she had a chance to protest, he slipped two fingers inside her wet folds; slowing pumping in and out. His thumb brushed over her swollen nub and she began to pant. "Please, Carlos." "Please, what, Babe?" "Please don't make me wait."

At her urging, Ranger began to pump his fingers faster, curling them in a 'come here' motion; touching her g-spot and causing a new flood of moisture. Stephanie rode his hand while his mouth bit her nipple and then licked over the sensitive skin.

He suddenly released her wrists and knelt down to position himself in front of her. He gently grabbed her hips, and replaced his fingers with his tongue; probing her wet folds; tasting her, lapping her juices. He licked the length of her slit before taking her clit in his mouth and biting down. She fisted her hands in his hair and screamed, "Oh, god, Carlos!" as she flew over the edge; stars bursting in her eyes. Ranger let her ride out the sensation while laying his cheek against her stomach and softly massaging her ass.

She was breathless and panting when Ranger suddenly changed positions and bent her over. Her palms were flat against the wall of the shower. He held her with one arm around her waist as he rubbed his hard length against her opening.

"Please, Carlos, I need you inside me," she gasped. "Dios, Babe, what you do to me," he growled and entered her in one long thrust. His stokes were slow and measured and it drove her crazy with need. He knew he was torturing her as she was trying to move her hips in a frantic motion. "Harder, Carlos, fuck me harder," she cried.

In that moment, his control snapped and he plunged deeper, taking her hard and fast. He could feel her walls start to tighten and he knew she was close. He massaged her clit and felt her release as she screamed his name. That was all it took and he let himself go over the edge with her.

Stephanie's legs felt like rubber and she struggled to stand up. "Come here, Babe," he said in a strangled voice; pulling her up to his chest. They stood wrapped in each other's embrace for a few moments to regain their breath and let the warm water wash over them. Ranger released his arms from Stephanie to grab the shampoo and slowly lathered it through her scalp. After rinsing her hair, he got the shower gel and worked it into the puff; rubbing it gently over her body. Stephanie could feel his desire pressed against her back. She turned around to see him with a smirk on his gorgeous face.

"No way, Carlos. We're already running behind. I should have made you leave when you startled me."

"Babe, we both know that wasn't going to happen."

"That's it, get out! You've already had your shower, let me finish mine before Sam and Bobby think we've abandoned them."

"Would that be such a bad thing?" he murmured against her neck.

"Yes! How do you expect me to get them together if I'm not there? Now get out!"

"Paybacks are a bitch, Babe," he teased as he exited.

"I can more than handle it," she teased back and closed the shower curtain after him.

Ninety minutes later, Ranger and Stephanie arrived at the quaint little bistro that Sam had suggested. Bobby had spent the afternoon at Field's to give the driver's their physicals, so he drove with Sam to the restaurant. Stephanie spied them coming in the door and immediately went to Sam and dragged her to the bathroom. Bobby looked surprised, and Sam just mumbled something about it being a girl thing.

Once they were alone, Stephanie started her interrogation. "Well, have you two talked about anything?"

"No, it was pretty much just business this afternoon. But I was thinking, maybe after dinner we can go down the street to this little jazz place. From what I hear, it's kind of quiet and romantic."

"Do they have dancing? Dancing is always a good way to get close to somebody without it being too obvious."

"Yeah, they have dancing. And liquor. I'm going to need some liquid courage to go through with this," she lamented.

"Don't worry, I'll be right there. If you get stuck, you can always give me a signal and we can head to the ladies room," Stephanie laughed. "Okay, let's get back out there. I don't want them sending in the troops to look for us."
