I'm not sure where this chapter came from...but here it is! Let me know what you think!
Not mine.
Warning: A small, tiny bit of smut. If you squint and turn your head to the side.
I looked at my watch again and sighed. He was late. Carlos was never late. We were supposed to meet up on seven for lunch and sex at noon, but here it was one o'clock and he hadn't called or came upstairs.
But I wasn't worried. Nope, not me.
What if he was hurt? Or in the hospital in a coma?
Wait, Tank would call.
Right. Someone would call to tell me that my fiancé was in the hospital.
My cell rang and my heart leaped into my throat.
"Hello?" I answered warily.
"Babe."
I sighed with relief. "Carlos, where are you?"
"We got caught up watching a skip's house. Intel was bad."
Now I was mad. He couldn't call sooner? I was going to make him pay now. "But Carlos…" I whined. "I'm all hot, naked, wet and horny for you." And I was pretty sure I was ovulating. Which means he needs to be here. Now.
"Babe." He growled. Bedroom voice. Execellent.
I moaned. "I don't know how much longer I can wait, Carlos. I might just have to take things into my own hands, even if my fingers don't do your delicious cock any justice."
"Christ." He whispered. I heard Lester snicker.
I moaned again. "Do try and get home soon." I hung up and rolled on the bed, laughing. Serves him right for not calling sooner.
Ranger's POV
"Man, you are in trouble." Lester said chuckling after I got off the phone with my Babe.
I was. Stephanie had just given me the hardest erection I've ever had. And she wasn't even in the SUV. I called Tank.
"I need you to replace me here."
He chuckled. "Miss your noon lunch date?"
"Just do it." I barked into the phone and hung up. Lester was full on laughing by now.
I glared at him.
Ten minutes later, Tank and Hal flashed their lights and we drove off. Stephanie was going to pay for this.
"Don't make her pay too hard." Lester said, laughing.
"Shut up." I said. We made it back to Haywood in five and I ran all the way up the stairs. Crashing through the door to the seventh floor, I took a moment to compose myself.
Christ, no other woman ever made me feel like this. I never wanted to run all the way up seven flights of stairs before. Stephanie was going to kill me and I was going to enjoy every second of it.
"Babe?" I asked as I opened the door.
"In here." She called.
I looked in the bedroom, but it was empty. I heard her giggle and looked to my right.
Christ.
She was sitting on my desk. Naked.
She opened her legs wider. "Well?" She asked.
I unbuttoned my cargoes, growled and pulled her into me, sheathing myself inside her. She moaned and arched her back, bringing more of me into her.
Lester's POV
"Hey Ella," I said.
"Hello, Lester. What can I do for you?"
"I need to talk to Luis."
She nodded. "He's in the apartment. Come on in."
Ella and Luis had the apartment right underneath Ranger and Stephanie and I wondered how they were getting any sleep at night. Ever since they started trying for a baby, they've been going at it nonstop. And Bombshell isn't exactly quiet.
"He'll be out in a minute." She said.
I nodded and smiled. "They're at it again." I said, pointing to the ceiling. You could hear the grunting and groaning and something very heaving bumping against the ceiling.
Ella smiled. "I hope she gets pregnant soon."
"So you can get some sleep?"
She laughed. "That's why God invented earplugs. No, a baby around here would be wonderful! Seeing him or her grow up, take their first steps, say their first word…" She sighed wistfully.
Not that I would say anything, but I was a little excited. Having a baby would be exciting around here when monitor duty gets boring. I was glad that they were the ones having the baby, not me. I wasn't ready to give up my bachelor status yet. However, if I did, it would be for Stephanie.
Ranger was a lucky bastard.
"Hey Lester, what's up?" Luis asked as he came out of his office.
"The toilet on the fifth floor is clogged up again."
"Did Tank eat Mexican again?"
I nodded. "If he's going to eat it, he should make sure he has enough time to use his own bathroom."
"I'll grab my snake." He said.
I nodded my goodbye to Ella and headed back to the fifth floor.
Ranger's POV
One week before the wedding…
"Shit," Tank said after entering my office. "Are you okay?"
"No." I replied setting my head back on the couch.
"What's wrong?"
"Stephanie." I groaned.
He bristled at this. "What about her?"
"Don't get all defensive. It's all the sex!"
He chuckled. "Baby making harder than it looks?"
I nodded. I wasn't sure if I had anything left in my balls to give. "It seems like we're having sex at least once an hour now. Not that I don't mind. Sex with Stephanie is fantastic, but…"
"You're afraid your dick will fall off?"
"More like shrivel up and die."
Tank chuckled and then turned serious. "Lula's pregnant."
I turned and looked at him. "Congrats, man."
He smiled. "Thanks. I can't believe it. I'm going to be a dad."
"Are you okay with that?"
He shrugged. "I'm still in shock. Lula and I are talking about it."
"Do you want the baby?"
He thought for a moment. "More than anything. In the army, they teach us that the country was more important than anything. I gave up the idea of having a family a long time ago. Then Lula came along…" He didn't have to say anything more. I felt the same way about Stephanie. She was my saving angel. "I can't imagine my life without her. If she wants the baby, then we'll keep it. If she's not ready, I'll wait."
"Look, I know it's a little late, but I was wondering if you'd be my best man at the wedding."
"I'd be honored. You don't want to ask your brother?"
I looked at him. "I just did."
He laughed. "Christ, when did we get all soft?"
I chuckled. "I think it's our women."
Stephanie's POV
"So do you know what you're going to do?" I asked Lula.
"I think I want to keep it." She said. "I always wanted to be a mom and Tank really likes the idea, so…"
I nodded. I knew that feeling very well.
"You'll be a great mom."
"Really? You think so, white girl."
"Of course. You make sure your kid stays in line.
She shrugged her shoulders. "I guess…But I won't be half as good as you, white girl. Plus you have that hunky fiancée of yours helping you."
I laughed. "He seems like the type to run away from a dirty diaper."
Lula rolled her eyes. "Please, that man would walk through shit for you."
I smiled to myself. He probably would. I looked around the restaurant where we were having lunch. "Can you keep a secret?"
"White girl, of course I can!"
"Swear on your maid of honorship?"
"YOU WANT ME TO BE YOUR MAID OF HONOR?"
I laughed. "Of course. You're my best friend. And anyone else would look stupid next to Tank."
"Ooh, my man's gonna be the best man?" I nodded. "Okay, okay. I can keep a secret."
I smiled widely. "I'm late."
"Late? Late for what? You got somewhere else you have to…HOLY SHIT, SERIOUSLY WHITE GIRL?"
"You really need to stop yelling."
"Sorry. Really? You're late, late?"
I nodded.
"So are you…you know, pregnant?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "It's only a few days late, so it's too early to tell. I don't want to know until I can take a test with Carlos."
"Fuckin' A." She got a faraway look in her face. "I can't wait to buy all the cute clothes."
"Me either!" I said, laughing. "When did we get so soft? Having babies and getting married?"
"I blame our men." She said. We laughed at that.
