Rating: T (or what's that one above T? Like K+ or some shit? Yeah? Whatever. This fic is mild.)

Pairing: Ranger and Steph

Spoilers: Through Seventeen. I haven't read it, but a little birdy told me there was a closet scene…

..::A Cherry Sucker::..

The sickening sweet smell of artificial cherry filled the tight space. The wrapper was forgotten in her haste. Her tongue greeted the infusion of sugar. Her wet lips slid over the surface. She hummed with her happiness. The cherry flavored sugar rush relaxed her into him. Her ass pressed into his groin. Her shoulders rested against his chest.

Ranger couldn't focus anywhere other than her lips.

Steph's eyes closed as she slid the sucker from her mouth, sucking the liquefied sugar, licking her lips. Her eyes fluttered open, heavy lidded, and focused on the sucker. The temperature inside the closet spiked hellishly hot. Sweat glistened her pale skin. Her little tank top clung to her curves. Steph plastered herself against him trying to get comfortable as they waited until the coast was clear.

The only thing he wanted at the moment was to push her against the wall and fuck her until she couldn't stand up anymore.

She wiggled against him and Ranger closed his eyes. He was painfully hard and watching Steph handle the sucker like her life depended on it, the way her tongue wrapped around him and slid along the underside-

Ranger gripped her hips and Steph moaned, muffled by the sucker. He slipped his hand under her tank top and pushed it up. Her skin was soft against his hand. His fingers skimmed the underside of her breast and her nipple hardened instantly.

Steph arched her back and moaned softly. She popped the sucker out of her mouth and turned her head. Her cheeks were flushed, her lips wet. Steph's tongue flicked over her lips and Ranger found himself staring.

"What are you doing?" Steph hissed under her breath.

He rolled her nipple between his fingers and Steph bit her lip. "You have to stop-"

Ranger leaned down until they were nose to nose. "I want a taste."

Steph's eyes flicked nervously to her sucker. "You said you didn't like cherry."

"I said I didn't need flavored oil to make you wet." Ranger stared at her lips. Her breathing hitched, heat settled low in her belly. "I like cherry flavored Stephanie."

Ranger's lips pressed against hers. He nibbled on her lower lip, sucking on it and his tongue slid into her mouth. Steph moaned against his mouth and he tasted her, slow and deep. Steph moaned his name as she turned in his arms and deepened the kiss, pressing him against the wall, fitting herself against him.

"Yo. The coast is clear. The Explorer is waiting two blocks south."

Ranger broke away from Steph and she gasped at the sudden loss of contact.

"Tank radioed." Ranger leaned down to steal a kiss. "Coast is clear."

Steph leaned against the wall trying to catch her breath and heard the telltale sound of Ranger unholstering his gun. He wrapped his hand around her wrist and pulled her against him. His lips brushed against her hair line. The pounding of his heart against her ear brought a slight smile to her face.

"We have unfinished business," he murmured.

Steph went up on her tip toes and brushed her lips against his jaw. "Yeah, you owe me a sucker."
