Chapter 7

I dropped Brian off and told him to meet me at my apartment later. I jumped in the shower and shaved, buffed and lotioned till smooth. I dug through my closet until I found a little leather skirt I had not worn in a long time and a shiny silver halter top with a low cut cowl neck. No bra needed there. I slipped on a black thong and pulled out my little black leather ankle boots. I had extra time so I blew my hair straight for a change and teased the top for a little height. I gave a few extra strokes of mascara and a little hot pink lip gloss. Then I applied a little of the poison Lester likes and some silver jewelry and I was happy with the result. I loved going out with my guys. It was fun and they always boosted my self confidence.

The doorbell rang in a few minutes and I checked the peephole. I opened the door and gasped. "Brian, wow. You look hot."

He beamed at me. 'Ironically he had on a silver grey boatneck shirt that looked to be made of a thin stretchy silk and it hugged his muscles like a glove. He had on expensive black slacks and black leather boots. A silver Rolex was attatched to his wrist and he smelled so good. I leaned in and sniffed. "Oh shit, "Davidoff , Hot Water. Your pulling out the big guns.", I grinned.

He whistled. "And look at you. You smell good too and you look so good I don't know if I want to share you with those boys. The legs don't disappoint sexy woman."

I fed Rex a kibble and grabbed my bag. He led me to his car, a grey BMW Z4. "Wow, Brian this is one hot car." He opened the door for me and I slid in. I always loved the feel of leather against my skin and wiggled in the seat and closed my eyes and sniffed long and hard. I heard Brian chuckle.

"Sorry. I love the smell of new car and leather", I blushed. "No way. He looked down at my skirt. Your leather is far better", he winked. I smacked his arm. I pointed my finger at him. "Drive, sexy man!", I winked at him.

We pulled up to the club and Brian tipped the valet and handed over his keys. He opened my door and took my hand and led me beyond the line to the bouncer and told him we were meeting Tank and the Rangemen party. The bouncer let us right in and whispered to Brian where to go. Brian smacked his hand and gave him what I knew was a generous tip.

We went through this huge glass door and there was my buddies with some of the girlfriends. One jumped up and squeeled. "Damn, fine skinny white bitch where you been?"

"Lula!" We grabbed each other and hugged. "You look smokin' hot girl", I said. She did in a form fitting low cut black dress with silver threads through it and 4 inch silver 'FM' sandals.

"You look badass hot too and who is this fine white boy on your arm girl?" "Lula, this is Brian Grath. He is actually an old friend of Tanks. He was my skip a few days ago."

"No shit? You are the luckiest girlfriend. How the fuck do you find all these hotties?" I looked at Brian and giggled. He was blushing a little. Tank intervened. "This ain't no beef shop woman. Get over here and give your man some sugar." Lula giggled. "You just hold your horses Tanky, momma's commin'."

Brian and I looked at the others with their shocked faces and busted out laughing. This was a side of Tank rarely seen. We took a spot at the table and then I smelled the familiar Armani scent I loved and Lester whispered in my ear. "Dance with me beautiful." I smiled at him and took his hand.

On the dance floor. Lester pulled me close and whispered in my ear. "You look good enough to eat gorgeous." He moved his hand down to feel my leather skirt. "Love this baby."

"You look good too Les." He was dressed in low cut leather pants and boots and a white silk shirt left unbuttoned almost all the way down to his navel. He kissed me and ran his tongue along my bottom lip. "Mmm..taste so good." My breath was quick and then Lester turned at a hand on his shoulder.

"Mind if I cut in Lester." Lester shrugged and reluctantly let me go with a smile then looked back at Brian. That was a 'game on' look. Oh, boy.

Brian was a sensual dancer. He liked to always be touching. Every few minutes another Rangeman would peck a shoulder and I got a new partner. I finally had to call uncle after over an hour passed and beg to sit and have a drink.

Brian and Tank and Bob were telling old war stories and the guys were listening intently like they were hearing the stories of legends.

I had no doubt that they probably were because these guys were the best of the best among men.

I danced with my men for a couple more hours and then I sat back down next to Brian.

I closed my eyes for a minute and Brian put his arm around me. "I think I need to take this little Bombshell home boys." They all shook and patted and hugged and we left. Brian walked me to my door and said, "I have wanted to do this since the day I met you." He leaned in and took my lips in a soft yet aggressive kiss. Just his lips pulled me in to him. He finally let go and I was breathing hard and groaning. His eyes looked like deep green pools of desire. He smiled at my response. "Thanks for today precious." Then I watched his tight gorgeous ass walk away. Such is my life I thought.

I took off my clothes and landed in bed with just my thong. Later I was roused by this intense heat against me. I pushed the covers off and still the heat persisted. I moaned and then I realized that there was a hand across my waist. Then I felt the tingle on my neck. Ranger.

I took his hand and moved it down my abdomen to the top of my panties and inside and moved his finger over my clit and circled. I began to gasp and moan at the delicious sensations.

"Playing with fire, Babe."

"Please, just burn me Ranger."

I turned over and looked at him. "Omigod, Ranger. What happened to you?" He was thinner and he had bruises and his beautiful chocolate eyes looked so tired.

"If I touch you will it hurt you", I asked. He shook his head.

I removed my thong and moved over him. I smiled into his face and took him inside of me. "I have missed you so much."

I moved slowly and lay against his chest as I took his face in my hands and kissed his lips and pale face. I kissed below his ear, his neck , his collar and his nipples. Then I reached behind us and grasped his testicles and began to rub the sensitive area below. He bucked and groaned. I leaned down then and kissed his eye lids as I rocked against him. "Cum for me sweet sexy man." He seemed to finally relax and in a minute I heard and felt his release.

I put my head close to his. "Will you stay here and just sleep today? Please let me take care of you for once. I'll call Ella and have some of your favorites sent over and I'll call Tank to let him know you need rest. I'll stay with you. Please, don't be stubborn Ranger."

He sighed and nodded. I pulled the covers over him and kissed his lips. He reluctantly closed his eyes and fell to sleep. I went to the living room and called Tank first. "He's back Tank and he looks really bad. I convinced him to stay and sleep. He is thin and he has bruises all over. Would you tell Ella to send some food and put some calories in it. He needs it." He gave a relieved sigh. "I'll do that doll."

I showered and was watching tv and the doorbell rang. Lester came in with an overnight bag and small bags I knew were food from Ella. I kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks Lester." I want to rouse him and maybe you could help me get him showered. I think he's weak. He nodded.

When we walked into the bedroom, I saw his eyes were open.

Hey, Les brought some food from Ella and we want to help you get showered so you'll feel better. Is that okay? He nodded. I pulled the covers away and Lester grabbed him and lifted him up. I knew Lester smelled the sex on him when he looked over at me and locked eyes with me.

We together helped him to shower and shave and left him to relieve himself. Lester looked at me with a sad face. "He made it home. He'll be good now. But, it's you I'm more worried about." I smiled at him and gently kissed him. "I'm a big girl Les. Thank you for caring about me." We put our foreheads together.

He was leaving as Ranger walked into the dining room.

"Hey you, come and eat. Ella has sent you some goodies."

He walked to me and put his head in my hair and sniffed deeply. "I missed your smell Babe." Then he took my head in his hands and gave me a panty drenching kiss.

"Let's definitely save this for later. You need to eat right now Ranger." He smiled and sat down while I served him and gazed at him while he ate. "So what's new Babe?"

"Well Joe and I have parted ways for good." He looked at me with a small amount of surprise on his face." I have also met an old friend of yours." He looked at me at first alarmed. "No Ranger, this is not bad. Do you remember 'Liberator'?" His eyes got huge.

I laughed. "He was one of my skips a couple weeks ago. We have become friends. He's a great guy." He grabbed my hand. "Babe, you never disappoint."

He pushed his food back. "Stephanie, make love with me. It's all I've thought about. It got me home." He took my hand and led me to the bedroom.

He went to undress me. "No, let me love you Ranger." I undressed him slowly paying attention to all the erogenous zones. He was groaning when I pushed him to lay down on the bed. I slowly stripped for him and lay down kissing his eyes and lips and behind his ears. I worked every erogneous zone all the way to his ample cock and then bypassed it and kept going down his leg. I massaged his feet and he moaned. "For service to our country sexy man", I whispered.

Then I placed myself between his legs and pushed them up and wide. I licked the tip of his cock and massaged his scrotum. He sucked in his breath. Then I flicked the pre-cum off him and began to massage his perenium. He bucked off the bed. "Shit Babe! I can't hold on much longer." I reached down and collected some of my juices and applied it to his beautiful smooth ass and he bucked harder. I slammed my head down on his cock and sucked and gently put the tip of my finger in. He exploded in my mouth and I sucked every drop down.

His eyes were huge as he looked at me with complete surprise. He grabbed me and pulled me up to him to kiss me. He ravaged my mouth and his tongue was hot and seeking. He was hard again already. He rolled with me and positioned himself at my entrance. "I want to give you more but, I can't wait Babe." He slowly began to slide into me and moved deliciously slow. I exhaled slowy. This was not fucking. This was making love and it brought new sensations with it. The slow build to my orgasm was both pleasurable and painful in it's intensity. He just kept sliding in and out with slow precision. I couldn't speak. Then just as we both let go, I heard, "Te amo bebe'."

I could tell he was exhausted from our lovemaking. I whispered, "Go to sleep. I'll be right here when you wake up."

When I woke up the next morning the bed was empty and Ranger was gone. Empty. Story of my life. I dialed him. "Yo."

"Yo to you. Your goodbye etiquette is the same as your phone etiquette. You just disconnect. He chuckled.

"I'm sorry Babe. Just felt like I needed to get back and show my face here."

"Did you eat good this morning? I have instructed Ella to throw some extra calories in for you. Don't argue either. You need to get your strength back and gain a few pounds."

"Yes mam." "Ranger, I missed you. I always do and I'm glad your home safe."

"I know Babe. Missed you too."

Just as I hung up the doorbell rang. I opened the door and Lester came in. He was in black Rangeman dress and camos. "Hey, what's up?"

"How is he and how are you beautiful?" I sighed. "He is weak and worn out and I'm worried about him. He's back at battle stations already."

"Beautiful, does he know how much you love him?"

"It's complicated Les. He may know and he might even love me too but he doesn't want to have a real relationship with me."

"What do you mean?"

"He told me so a while back. After the first time we had sex."

"What did he say?"

"I needed his help to catch a skip and he made a deal with me. One night for his help." "He did what? His help for a fuck?", Lester's eyes were huge.

"It sounds awful when you put it that way Lester. It was actually a fantastic night. But, the next morning I asked him what we were to each other. He said there was no price for what we gave each other but, that his life didn't lend itself to relationships. He sent me back to Morrelli."

"He fucking did what? You did what he said? He put his mark on you and has strung you along all this time. He has led us to believe that you are his. I don't exactly get that. He does love you. I know that for a fact."

"It was a long time ago now Les. He let me know that he was an opportunist and we both took what we could get. I don't doubt that he loves me. He has said it. He just won't give me himself. He gives me cars and protection, a job and sex once in a while."

"I know first hand that's not enough for you Steph. You're a vivacious, sensuous woman and your starving all the time. That's what drew me to want to help you. I love you. I hate this."

I kissed him. "I love you too Les." He pulled me into his arms and kissed me hard, moving his hands up my shirt. "Lester, I have to see where this leads again. I always hold out hope with him. We have a connection that I can't fight. I know he's near before I see him. I know when he's safe and when he's not. I feel him. I know it's his internal demons that keep him away from me. I don't know how to get to him however much I try."

"What a dumbass he is. If he continues to fuck up Steph, I'm coming for you."

"And I would be a lucky girl Lester. You are so the catch", I grinned and kissed him. "See you later sweet man."
