You guys are awesome. Enjoy!
Not mine, but I wish it was...
Warning: Smut.
He was standing on the pathway to the backyard. He was in a black suit and had a white rose on his lapel.
"Hal," I said and my face fell a little. I was kind of disappointed.
"Hey Bombshell."
"Nice house."
He looked at it. "Yeah, it's really amazing on the inside." He held out his arm.
"So how did you do all of this?"
"Do what?"
"Everything. The gifts, the shopping, the…" I stopped when I saw him shaking his head.
"It wasn't me."
"Then who…?" I stopped dead in my tracks. In the back yard was a gazebo lit with thousands of tea lights and more white roses. There was a dinner table and a champagne bucket.
Ranger was standing next to the table. He looked handsome in his all black suit.
I looked up at Hal who was smirking. "He had some last minute set-up and he wanted me to greet you."
I nodded and smiled up at him.
"Babe," Ranger said as I walked up the path.
"Wow." I said.
He smiled. "Surprised?"
"Not really. My spidey sense told me it was you."
He laughed. "I still can't fool the spidey sense." He looked me over. "You look stunning."
"Thanks. You look very handsome."
He smiled at me.
I shook my head. "You did all of this for me?"
"I told you babe. You deserve to be treated like a queen."
He pulled out my chair and I sat down. We removed the lids and dug into the delicious lasagna. I know, I'm as shocked as you are that Ranger was polluting his body with lasagna.
"Thank you." I said.
He raised an eyebrow.
"For everything."
Ranger popped the cork on the champagne. "No price, remember?" He handed me a flute of champagne.
"What are we toasting to?"
"To new beginnings."
We raised our glasses in the toast. "New beginnings?" I asked.
He nodded. "I was hoping that you would give me a second chance."
I raised my eyebrows. "What are you talking about?"
"I want to have a relationship with you."
"But your life…"
He shook his head. "Doesn't apply anymore." He leaned under the table and handed me a file.
"What is this?" I asked, not sure if I wanted to open it. It was like opening a can of worms…Pandora's box…whatever.
"Open it."
I opened the file and looked at the first page. It was an army medical file with a picture of Ranger at eighteen stapled to the top. I grinned at the picture. He looked so young and he was as handsome as ever.
He smirked at me. "Keep going," he said.
Doing as I was told, I flipped through the papers. Some of them were medical records, some were missions (some of the lines were blacked out like they did back in the old days), and I stopped at the last page. I was stunned.
"Contract fulfilled." I read aloud. "What does that mean?"
"It means I'm out. No more contracts. No more going into the wind. I'm done, babe. For the first time in fifteen years, my life is my own. And there is no one I'd rather spend it with than you."
I was speechless. Ranger's life was now suddenly available for a relationship. And he wanted one with me. He could have anyone, and he wanted me.
"I still have a lot of enemies, but I know that we can make this work."
I was speechless. "Really?"
He nodded. "I'm playing for keeps. I'll do anything to keep you with me."
My eyes welled with tears. Ranger quickly got out of his chair and kneeled in front of me. He cupped my cheeks. "Babe, don't cry."
"I can't believe that this is all happening."
"What do you mean?"
"I love you." I said.
He sighed and placed his forehead on mine. "You don't know how long I've waited for you to say that to me. I love you too, Stephanie."
And then he gently kissed me. We grinned stupidly at each other until my stomach made itself known.
"Finish your dinner, Babe. You're going to need your strength."
I blushed and felt my panties dampen.
We talked about anything and everything. I never heard Ranger talk so much.
"Why did you do all of this? You could've just asked me out to dinner."
"I could've, but that wouldn't have showed you how much you mean to me."
"I don't need presents for you to show your love."
"The presents weren't the point. I wanted to shower you with gifts because you deserve them. I want to give you everything. When you were with Joe, he never took you out to dinner, or gave you any gifts or let you fly and be yourself."
"You don't need to prove anything to me."
"I wanted to show you that it's possible to be wooed."
"You're wooing me?"
He smiled. "More or less."
"That's sweet." I cupped his cheek in my hand. He leaned into it.
Later, I finished my lasagna and leaned back in the chair. "Any desert?" I asked.
"It's inside." He gave me his best wolf grin.
I felt my hormones perk up and start to jump. I got up and reached for his hand. "What are we waiting for?"
Ranger smiled and took my hand. We walked hand in hand into the house.
"Where's the bedroom?" I asked.
"I thought you wanted desert?"
I smiled. "I'm not hungry."
Ranger growled, picked me up and ran to the bedroom. He gently put me down on the bed and followed me down.
Seeing me on the bed made his control snap and our lips met in a passionate frenzy. He moaned when our tongue met. I started to unbutton his shirt, revealing his mocha latte skin to me. His hands dragged my dress up to my hips where his hands traced small circles on my thighs. I moaned into his mouth and my hormones kicked into high gear. I whimpered when his lips left mine to travel down my neck. He nibbled, licked and tasted me while I writhed helpless underneath him.
"Carlos, please."
He stopped and looked up at me. "What did you call me?"
"Is it okay that I call you Carlos?"
He smiled. "I think it's dead sexy."
And in a flash, our clothes were off and he was there between my thighs, his tongue and fingers worshipping my most delicate skin. I moaned and arched into him, clutching to his hair. I cried out in orgasm when he sucked my clit into his mouth and shoved two fingers into me and furiously rubbed my g-spot. He continued to rub gently until I came down from my high. Ranger slid his fingers out of me and rose over me, his cock on my inner thigh.
"You're so beautiful. You're skin is flushed rosy, your eyes are a stunning blue that makes me want to dive in and never come out and you taste so good."
I moaned and raised my hips, trying to get him into me. "Please."
"What do you want, Stephanie."
"I want…"
He kissed my collarbone. "Yes?"
I was feeling brave. "I want you inside of me, taking me like only you can. Filling and stretching me until I come. Make me come."
He growled again and kept his eyes on me as he entered me. I moaned at the feeling of him filling me. I wrapped my legs around his hips as he held still, trying to keep control. I could feel him shaking from the effort.
"Please, Carlos, move." I moaned.
He slowly started to move in and out of me. I cried out at every motion and arched my back. We moaned and the new pleasure surging through our bodies. Ranger sped up as I scratched my nails down his back. He reached in between us and rubbed my clit at the speed he was surging in and out of me.
"Oh god, oh god, Carlos, I'm gonna…Carols!" I screamed as the orgasm took over my body. Ranger kept thrusting into me and finally came inside of me, sending me off again. He collapsed on top of me and I reveled in his delicious weight.
"I love you." He said, rolling off of me as our breathing slowed.
I cuddled into him. "I love you too." I kissed the exposed chest beneath me and fell asleep.
The next morning, I awoke alone. Ranger was mysteriously missing. The French doors leading to the balcony were open, letting a nice cool breeze in. Picking up his dress shirt, I went out to check out the view.
"Hey Babe." Ranger said, joining me on the balcony. He handed me a coffee cup.
"Hi."
He wrapped his arms around me and nuzzled my neck. "Last night was…"
I sighed happily. "Fantastic."
"Took the words right out of my mouth."
I smiled. "I can't believe I can still walk."
"I can make it so you can't walk."
I laughed. "No thanks."
He sighed and grabbed his cup of coffee.
"I'm really glad it was you." I said.
He raised an eyebrow.
"I don't think I could be any happier than I am right now."
He smiled. "I made pancakes."
"Did I say that I love you yet?"
He laughed, grabbed my hand and took me down to enjoy my pancakes.
