Chapter 13: Preparing PT1

RPOV

Thank fuck they finally left. I know it is crazy but I still want some one on one Babe time. "Babe are you really okay with Lester getting a copy of the video from Pino's last night? You know he has probably sent them to all the guys of Rangeman." She just looks at me. "Ranger I am okay with it. Actually I would like to see it." Well at least I won't have to explain to momma, Tia Ana, and Tia Ella that I had to send their son and nephew to a third world country.

"Okay Babe we will watch it but how about later?" She just looks at me waiting for more. "Babe what do you say to us going over to your apartment and packing it up to so we can get you officially moved in here?" She smiles. "Okay" "I told the guys when they were leaving and they volunteered to help us." No need to tell her that Tank volunteered them and I wasn't really asking.

I just want to get this done as fast as possible, get her stuff back here and sit down and watch that video with her. I knew it was going to be hot as hell for Tank to say what he did and how the others were reacting to it. I knew if we watched the video now we weren't going to be leaving this apartment at least no time soon.

I reached out and pulled her to me, covering her lips with mine. I kept the kiss soft and tender I didn't let it deepen as I had an agenda I wanted to stick to. I wanted my Babe officially living with me before the end of the day!

"Ranger I don't have a whole lot of stuff, most of my furniture wouldn't look very good in your apartment, so that really just leaves my clothing and personal items." "Babe it is our apartment it is no longer just mine and if you want to keep anything we will make room for it in the apartment don't worry about how it will look." She looked at me like I had three heads. "Ranger this apartment is beautiful. It is decorated just right and looks like something out of a design magazine. The last thing I would do is bring any of my used furniture that would bring down the look of a dorm room here. Just because I couldn't afford nice furniture and didn't really want nice furniture with the luck my apartment seems to have doesn't mean I don't appreciate it or know nice furniture when I see it."

I can't say I am not happy but I wouldn't have let her furniture being placed in our home stop her from moving in. She was far more important to me than any furniture or how our home looked. It would be home with her here and for that it would be more important than anything else. "Babe whatever you want to do with anything is fine with me. When do you want to go?" She walked over to the couch and sat down. I followed her sitting beside her pulling her into my lap. She cradled her head between my shoulder and neck. "How about we go to my apartment around two I really don't have that much stuff to pack up. It won't take long." "Okay Babe whatever you want."

She snuggled in deeper took a deep breath and slowly let it out. I felt her completely relax into me. God how I loved holding her, I rubbed my head against the side of hers while my fingers were rubbing circles on her back and thigh. It wasn't any time before I could tell my Babe was out. I smiled at how easily she could fall asleep. I loved to watch her sleep, I loved knowing that I could hold her and she could go to sleep in my arms.

She trusted me so much that she could just fall asleep while in my arms. I am not a cruel person but I know what I am capable of people instinctively know to fear me and they don't even know a tenth of what I am truly capable of. Then there is my Babe. Not an ounce of fear in her of me ever not from the first day we met until today. In fact she is so comfortable and trusting that she can just fall asleep. I wasn't sure how I felt exactly.

On one part I wanted to be smug about it but on the other it almost scared the shit out of me because deep down inside I know she is too trusting. Hell the reality is she could fall asleep with any of the guys Lester, Bobby, Tank, Hal, Cal, Ram, Hector, hell the list goes on. Many of those she already had fallen asleep while in their company. Hell her first ever redecorating job with Tank she fell asleep not to mention a few of the surveillance shifts where I heard from the guys that she ended up falling asleep.

Regardless about how I felt having her asleep while I am holding her in my arms be it sitting on the couch or lying in the bed at night feels amazing. I continue to rub my face against hers whispering how much I love her and how happy I am that she agreed to move in our home.

I am on the way to meet my son to discuss what we are going to do with Stephanie. I don't even want to think about her right now as I will just get mad again. I want to be in a different mindset when I see him. When I got off of the phone with him I took a shower made sure I shaved, put on lotion, dressed in some of my more provocative under clothing and one of my sexier dresses. I did my hair and makeup and if I don't say so myself I look pretty hot for a woman my age.

I pull up at the motel and see my son's truck from where he is parked I can't tell if he got a room or not. Suddenly I wonder if I misread him on the phone. Maybe he just picked this place because it was an out of way place that no one would know where we were. That would be a bummer as I went out of my way getting ready for him.

As I approached the parking spot close to his truck his door opened and he hopped down and all I could think was wow.

JPOV

I saw Momma pull in the lot I had already gotten a room and was waiting for her in my truck. When she pulled into the parking spot just down from my truck I hopped out and walked up to meet her at her car. "Hey Momma, how are you this afternoon?" "I am fine, how are you son?" "Good" I don't want to bring up cupcake right now and ruin the mood. I take her hand and start walking towards what will be our room for the next couple of hours.

"What did you tell Frank?" "Frank is driving the cab today so I didn't tell him anything as he left the house before I did. I will make up something to tell him if he is there before I get home but only if he asks me." Good we are on the same page. I shut the door, lock it and engage the safety bolt as Momma turns to look at me with a sultry look on her face. Oh yeah the boys like that.

I am having a dilemma do I wake my Babe or let her continue to sleep. It is almost two when she said she wanted to leave to go to her apartment but she is still sound asleep in my arms. I love her being here and I know she needs her rest. I know how much I kept her up last night and how active we were even though she slept some this morning I know that wasn't enough for her. However I wanted to get her moved in as soon as possible and she had said two.

I whispered in her ear "Babe I love you, it's time to wake up" no response. Still whispering but slightly louder "Babe I love you, it's time to wake up" and added a slight jarring of her with my arms. She stirs a little and moans. Damn, now something is awake but it isn't my Babe and I am not going to be able to do a damn thing about it as I want to get started getting her moved in. "Babe wake up…I love you...It is time to wake up so we can get you moved into our home." With that her eyes opened and focused on my face. She smiled up at me as she sifted to stretch her body.

As she shifted her breast came in contact with my chest as they brushed past me turning up towards me. I couldn't resist and I lowered my head to them nuzzling them thru her shirt and bra with my nose and lips. I could feel them pucker and harden under the shirt which only made me further harden. No way in hell were we going to make it out of this apartment without me having another taste of her.

My lips found her neck gently kissing, nipping, and sucking at her skin. My tongue gliding over her skin soothing her and exciting me more my hands seeking her bare skin found her stomach as I glided them up taking her shirt with them. I paused when I reached her lace clad breast as I felt each nipple under the lace. Her breathing was short almost a soft pant at this point I could feel the need within her just by her breath alone. I pull up the shirt further and pull it off.

I pull my Babe to me while I lower my mouth over her nipples sucking the fine lace along with her nipple in my mouth. Playing with it with my tongue as my hands search for the clasp as soon as they find it her bra meets her shirt on the floor and I have her nipple in my mouth god how good her skin tastes. I look up and my Babe's eyes are closed I can see the delight she is feeling in my touch. I lower my hands to her jeans and unbutton them, lowering the zipper. Seeing her lace covered mound even before I have off the jeans has me hardening even more I am not exactly sure how that is possible.

Shifting her slightly but not letting go of her nipple from my lips I successfully relieve her of her jeans. She lying here before me in her lace thongs and I swear I have never seen anything anyone more beautiful or sexier in my life. God what this woman does to me she drives me crazy with need.

I froze when I felt her hand run up my erection that was all it took. I had to have her right this second I could no longer wait. My control for her was gone. My lips met hers and it was like lighting the torch at the Olympic stadium we both couldn't get each other fast enough. I could feel my clothing been torn from my body in our fit of need. I heard a rip and her gasp as I realized I had ripped her thongs from her body.

I had to taste her. I had to have my mouth on her and I couldn't wait another second. I grabbed her cupping her beautiful ass in my hands and just raised her to my face. She placed her legs beside my head hanging over the back of couch with her hands knotted in my hair while I held her to me feasting and drinking from her well. Damn she was wet and warm and tasted like sweet peaches with a summer rain. I could hold her here to me all day.

She was moaning and writhing so much that I was afraid I was going to drop her but I couldn't stop feasting with every moan and scream of my name came a fresh gush and I just couldn't stop drinking and lapping up every drop. Finally my Babe started begging "Carlos please let me feel you." I smiled an replied "You can feel me Babe feel my hands cupping your sweet ass holding you to me, feel my tongue playing with your sweet pussy licking it, exciting it, feel my lips kissing your lower lips rubbing against you, feel my tongue playing with your clit as I drink your sweet peach nectar. Feel my nose as it nuzzles against you as I breathe you in, the scent of peach and summer rain. Feel my breath on you as I talk to you how it whispers across and around your outer and inner folders of your beautiful and sexy pussy. All of that Babe is me you are already feeling me now let me feel you as you release more of your sweet nectar for me to drink " I barely got out what I wanted to tell her when she screamed and gifted me with another fresh gush. Oh yeah my Babe really liked it when I talked to her while I was driving her to her orgasm.

I was so ready to be buried deep in her my dick was dancing with anticipation with every lick and suckle of her. Once I had drank from her all I could without going completely crazy with the need to be buried inside her. I slowly, completely in control, lowered her body hopefully letting her know that her weight was absolutely nothing for me to hold like that all day. I lowered her body down on to my erection. As soon as my head started to push in her tight hot center I couldn't wait anymore I had to have her and this position wasn't going to give me or her what we needed right now. I instantly stood her legs wrapping around my waist as I brought both of our bodies up off of the couch. I walked over to the closest wall and placed her back up against the wall. Her eyes were wide but you could see the excitement she was feeling. I doubt she has ever had anyone take her the way I was going to take her and that made me smile with more excitement as I plunged my way home.

Her gasp and my growl only ignited the fire more and flames shot to the ceiling as I started to piston in and out of her as fast and hard as I could. God she was so tight, so hot, so wet that I knew I wouldn't hold out long. I could already feel the pull and tightness growing in my balls and I knew it wouldn't be much longer before I wouldn't be able to hold it back. But for right this moment I was lost in the feeling of me connected with my Babe of her connected to me and from the look on her face she was just as lost in those feelings as I was. We were lost together and that was pure paradise. My Babe was panting and then screamed "oh my god Carlos" as I felt her inner walls clamp down on my dick. They clamped down harder than I had ever felt them before and pulled me in I wasn't going to last against that I felt them slightly release me only to clamp down and pull me in again and that was it my release burst forward with a force so powerful that it felt like I literally exploded inside of her. I had never in my life cum so hard with such force as I had with my Babe. I heard her gasp and then she stopped breathing falling limp in my arms. My Babe had passed out.

It wasn't easy with her limp body and the position we were in but I didn't want to remove myself from her. I wasn't ready to be out of her hot center. I maneuvered us back to the couch where I lowered us down on the couch me on my back and my Babe laying flat on me. It was a few minutes later she stirred. "What?" I could see confusion on her face.

"Babe you passed out, I moved us back to the couch to wait for you to join the living again." I couldn't help it I was feeling a little smug at being able to make my Babe cum like that. To make her orgasm so intensely that it actually caused her to pass out. She blushed then she looked worried which confused me. "Babe? What's wrong did I hurt you?" "No Carlos never, it is just that I passed out." Yeah so

"Babe I take that as a compliment that you passed out." She looks at me like I have three heads for the second time today. "Carlos how can you take it as a compliment when I leave you unfilled because I pass out. I guess I do suck in bed." Those mother fuckers I could break theirs god damn fucking necks right now for taking this from me from her by them putting that stupid shit in her mind that she sucks in bed.

"Babe, listen to me and believe me." I look at her and wait for her to agree she looks me in the eye and nods "Babe what you experienced just now is a gift to me it doesn't take anything away from me or deprive me of anything. For me to pleasure you to the point that you passed out makes me feel like I am a god among men. All my body wants to do is please you and when you respond to me like that I know that I have pleased you to the ultimate point and nothing could please me more or give me more pleasure." She shifted on top of me looking at me.

"Carlos but where was your release? How did my body pleasure you? Like you when I am with you my body craves to pleasure you. I only want to please you. It has never been like that with me before I never really thought about that before. But when I pass out and stay out obviously for at least a few minutes then I feel like I didn't pleasure you and didn't give you the release I know you need just as much as me. I may not have cared about it before but I don't want to suck in bed not with you." A tear came out of the corner of her eye. I took a cleansing breath because I didn't want her to feel the hatred that was running thru me at this moment.

It wasn't directed at my Babe but at the people in my Babe's life. That dumb shit of an x-husband, her bitch of a mother, and that fucking piece of shit cop that was in her life because of them they made her question herself, they made her not believe in herself, and worst of all they made her question her sexuality as well as her womanhood that would have any man in his right man crying for the opportunity to spend an intimate moment with her. I swore to myself that I would find a way to make them pay and they would pay dearly for what they have done to her.

"Babe don't worry I had my release when I felt your walls clamp down hard on me I came and it felt like I exploded inside you. I have never cum with such intensity I have never cum like that with anyone else. But Babe I don't want you to ever worry about me not having a release when we are together. It isn't about me, when I make love to you it is all about you. It is about me showing you what you do to me. How I feel about you, showing you how much I love you, need you, and how you affect me. How just looking at you makes me hard, how hearing you moan makes me tight with desire, and how tasting you just makes me lose all control." Tears were rolling down my Babe's face.

I reached up and run my thumbs under her eyes while cupping her face with my hands. "Babe no tears, okay" "Carlos they are happy tears. I love you so much. When we are together…" She starts and pauses blushing damn she is sexy when she blushes but continues "you know…I want it to be about you, about me showing you how much I love you, I want you losing control, I want you screaming my name as you cum. I want it to be my body, my love that pushes you to your orgasm and makes you fall over the edge. I am not sure I do that, I am not sure that I know how to do that, I am not even sure that I am capable of doing that." More tears leaked from her eyes but I wasn't sure these were happy tears.

"Carlos, the men in my life cheated on me because I wasn't good enough in bed for them and they were nothing the man you are. If I wasn't good enough to satisfy them then how in the hell am I ever going to satisfy you. I can't stand the thought of me not satisfying you in bed when I it is all I want to do." She started sobbing. Those mother fuckers were going to pay and if I had my way they will be paying with their pitiful worthless of a fuck life.

"Babe please stop crying" I hold her tighter to me, I am still buried deep inside of her and it feels wonderful but I need for her to understand how she does satisfy me how no other woman has ever made me feel the way my Babe makes me feel. "Babe, take a minute catch your breath, then take a look at us and feel us and tell me what you see and feel." She takes a couple of deep breaths and hiccups as she scans us lying there on the couch. Then she closes her eyes taking a moment.

When she opens her eyes "Carlos we are laying on the couch you on your back and I am lying on your stomach facing you." "What else, Babe?" "Your arms are around me and you are very softly drawing circles on my back with your fingers." "Uh huh, what else, Babe?" "My arms are resting on your shoulder chest area and my legs are resting beside the side of your hips and my nipples are pressed against your chest." "Yeah, what else, Babe? Say it, tell me" she blushes she knows what I want her to say but she isn't sure she can say it. "Your…my center…uhhmmm…" She was having a tough time finding the words. "Babe it is okay you can say anything to me, tell me. What else do you feel?" She could cuss like a sailor but when it came to just talking about body parts and sex she was shy and bashful. I nudge her to let her know I was waiting and that she could do it. "Carlos, I am not sure exactly how to say this so I am just going to spit it out." She took a deep breath steeled herself and blurted out "I feel your dick buried deep inside me and it is the most incredible feeling I have felt to just lay here like this still connected to you." Finally she had said it.

"Yeah Babe you are right it is an incredible feeling and one I have only felt with you. You make me feel so good when I am inside of you that I never want to be out of you. You satisfy me so completely that I never want that feeling to end so I want to remain inside of you for as long as I can possibly stay. I don't know why the other men in your life chose to cheat on you but I promise you right here right now I will never. You are the love of my life, the only woman I want and the only woman who will ever be able to satisfy me again for as long as I live." She reaches up and kisses me and I harden inside her.

"Carlos I want you to know that you are the love of my life too, the only man I want and the only man who will ever be able to satisfy me again for as long as I live. There will never be another." My Babe starts to shift back and forth riding my hard cock and I growl with pleasure as she moans.

"Babe, never think again or ever again feel that you suck in bed, but if you want to suck in bed now that would definitely be all my pleasure." I smile at her as she smiles at me and presses her core against me harder. "Not hardly Carlos, it would be my pleasure too as I am addicted to your taste." Holy hot hell!

Well my meeting with Joe certainly went well. Now I know why all the women in Trenton line up for a chance to romp with Joe. Holy hot flash I haven't had it that good in well let's just say a long time. They say that older women that date younger men are cougars well I was every bit of a cougar with him. I might even be able to classify myself a tiger with the way I attacked him and screamed for him. To say I am happy right now well that really wouldn't do our little coming together justice.

I hope that he wants to meet more because I definitely do. Some of the moves that my son knew in bed well were simply amazing and I don't understand why my bitch of a daughter wasn't thrilled to be with him. To have a man that could perform like that in bed willing and wanting to marry you and then throw him aside to be with some thug, some criminal, some hired killer is beyond my concept. Personally I don't think she could do better. I know I have been married to Frank a long time and he has never made me feel like my son did today so I know she could definitely do worse when it came to picking a man.

I am still reveling in the feel of our afternoon together while I drive to the store to pickup something to fix for dinner tonight. I am going to have to be careful at dinner that I don't accidently say something that I shouldn't know. This is my son's and I dirty little secret and I fully intend on keeping it that way because I want more. I know he is going to be there tonight and it is going to be difficult to hide my excitement when he gets there.

We did talk about Stephanie, the little bitch I still get mad when I think about what she has done to him to me to her family, after our coming together. Just the thought makes me want more already like a kid in a candy store I don't think I can get enough. We formed a plan how to deal with Stephanie and my son agreed to take her back after I gave him the best blow job that had him screaming momma for his life. Frank never lasted past one my son however he couldn't get enough of me. He took me every way a man could take a woman and was screaming my name in pleasure. That's right people don't call me sex kitten as I am no kitten but sexy tigress now that is more like it.

Well I knew those Plum girls knew how to satisfy a man. I am not sure exactly what happened to Cupcake along the way but Momma now Momma was a hell cat. From the time we entered the room she was on me like white on rice. I knew she had wanted to get a taste of the Italian stallion for a while and give her a taste I did.

She was down on her knees sucking my dick in less than five minutes of us walking in the room. There was at least one Plum woman who knew how to satisfy a man and what a man needed. Before we left I had fucked her every way to fuck her and I had her begging me for more. She was screaming my son as I was taking her cumming in her mouth, her wet pussy, and finally her ass. Why couldn't my Cupcake be so accommodating to my needs maybe there was hope for her after all that hell cat was her mother. I would just have to coax it out of her.

I haven't gotten a call from anyone on the force concerning Cupcake's apartment so she must still be shacking up with those thugs from Rangeman. I can tell they are going to make my plan difficult they are already throwing a monkey wrench into my plan seen as she hasn't been home. Well she will soon or later I just hope sooner. I would like her to know about having a stalker and have reported it to the police before dinner tonight at her parent's.

Our plan for dinner was a good one. I just hope that my Cupcake would go along with it without too much friction. With her it would be hard to tell and now that she had spent so much time with those criminals and thugs lord knows how much bullshit they have been feeding her.

We finally made it out of the apartment. It was difficult to say the least. I didn't want to stop making love to Carlos. I didn't want to stop riding him, he made me feel wonderful, sexy, empowered, a goddess, but most importantly he made me feel desired, cherished, and most important loved. I never want those feelings to end.

We slowly made it down to the garage and their stood Tank, Lester, Bobby, Hector, Cal, Ram, and Hal. Why don't we just invite the rest of the guys and we can just make it a huge party at my place. "Babe if you want we can do that." Ranger whispers in my ear and I look at him "Out loud?" "Yeah Babe, out loud." Oh well I shrug my shoulders.

I turned to look at the guys standing there "Guys you all really don't have to come if you don't want to. I am sure Ranger or Tank volunteered you to help and if you have something else you would rather be doing please go and do it. I don't have that much to pack up at my place. It won't take long."

Hal spoke up first "Bombshell I won't speak for everyone but as far as I am concerned going with you will be the best part of my day. I don't have anything better to do than go hang out with a friend and help her pack up her apartment." I looked at him and smiled "Thanks Hal that means a lot." I see the other nod so I nod back at them and tell them to load it up.

"Okay boys let us load up and get it done." I laughed as some of the men chuckled around me. Ranger just shook his head "Babe" which I took to mean sometimes you are just too funny for your own good but more than likely it meant Babe don't order my men around.

The ride to my apartment went smoothly the guys loaded up in various SUVs and I rode with Ranger in his truck. I told him I didn't have much but he insisted that we needed the room just in case I decided I wanted to bring anything home with me that was too big to fit into one of the SUVs. Men sometimes I tell you.

We got to my apartment and three spots were right up front. How? I want to know how the fuck can they pull into the lot and three slots are open by the door do they call ahead and make people move for them? Their parking karma just amazes me had it been me driving the only spot available would have been all the way at the back beside the dumpster. I don't even bother looking for closer spots because I automatically know there will be none.

Oh well we won't have far to carry the boxes so I won't look a gift horse in the mouth but still it burns my ass sometimes how lucky these guys are and the funny thing is they don't even know it or think about it. Ranger comes around and opens my door. "Babe what's the funny look for, something wrong?" "No Ranger nothing is wrong. I am just amazed at how you all do it and do it every time." "Babe you lost me what is it we do when we do it every time?" and his lip twitches great just fucking great I am amusing him again.

"Parking Ranger that is what you do." "Babe everyone who drives parks I am not following you." "Ranger every time I pull into this lot with my vehicle the only spot available is by the dumpster. Every time you or your guys pull into the lot there is spot right beside the door. Today we pull in here and there are three spots just waiting for us right next to the door. I want to know how?" His lip twitches again. "Babe I don't know what to tell you, I guess we are just lucky like that."

I narrow my eyes at him and his lip twitches even more. Uggg men whatever let's just do this. We round the front of the truck meeting the other guys and head into my building. We took the stairs. I know before you say it I figured the weight of these guys in the elevator was probably more than it could hold so for safety reasons so I went with the stairs. Besides it is good to get a little extra exercise in now and then.

When we got to my apartment door I handed Ranger my key to open the door. He started to open the door and my spidey sense started to go off. Oh god this wasn't going to be good. "Ranger stop wait a minute" I called out to him. He froze in place key in the lock mid turn. He looked back at me "What is it Babe?" "Ranger my spidey sense is going off something isn't right. Step back away from the door. Please." I looked at him pleading him to come closer to me. Something wasn't right and I didn't want him turning that key any further. I looked back over to the rest of the guys and motioned for Ranger to follow me as I backed my way back to them.

"Guys something is wrong, I don't know what but I feel it. Something isn't right and my spidey sense went off when Ranger put the key in the lock of my door." I told them to explain my actions. I couldn't care if they thought I was crazy I wouldn't risk Ranger being hurt or one them being hurt because I didn't stop them or tell them what I was feeling. "Ranger hand me my key, I will go unlock the door if it is safe then you all can come in." Ranger just looks at me "Like hell Babe. We have all told you before, us before you Babe. I am not giving you the key and letting you go unlock your door if you think it is unsafe for me then it is unsafe for you." "Damn it Ranger it is my door, my apartment. Let me do it" I was starting to get a little upset. "Babe, don't get upset there are other ways neither of us has to do it." Ranger looks at Hector

"Héctor, salir subir la escalera de incendios vienen en el apartamento de Stephanie a través de la ventana de su dormitorio. Sólo asegúrese de comprobar que no existen dispositivos primer viaje. Luego diríjase a su puerta y háganos saber si usted ve cualquier cosa. Recuerde guardar silencio sólo en caso de que alguien está esperando por nosotros y ver su espalda." (Hector, go outside climb the fire escape come into Stephanie's apartment thru her bedroom window. Just make sure to check it for any trip devices first. Then make your way to her door and let us know if you see anything. Remember be silent just in case someone is waiting for us and watch your back.)

I have no idea what Ranger just told Hector but he nodded and said Si which I knew meant Yes. Ranger then looked at Ram and asked him to follow Hector. "Ram, go with Hector and keep look out for him. Watch his back as much as you can but remain on the fire escape until you get the all clear." Ram nodded and they both disappeared down the stairs. Ranger turned back to me and explained what he had asked Hector to do.

HectorPOV

I knew something was wrong I saw Angelito stiffen and then tell Ranger to stop. I heard her say that her spidey sense was going off. I wasn't sure what the hell a spidey sense was but I wasn't going to question it. It was enough proof when Ranger froze and retracted back to Angelito for me to believe in it. They had a little discussion about opening the door like he would have let her. Had he been that stupid to put her danger I would kill him right here, right now and took the key from her before she had the chance. Ranger looked at me.

Now that sounded like a plan. He picked me because I was the smallest of the guys, I was quickest, and I could get in and out of anywhere unseen. We weren't really sure what we were up against if someone was in the apartment or if it was something else completely.

Ram and I made it out of the apartment and up the fire escape nothing appeared out of place, no one was watching us everything seemed normal. We made our way to Angelito's bedroom window and her window was intact and locked. I picked the lock peered around the window as best I could see there were no traps set. I slowly raised the window waiting for the window pane to break the seal with the windowsill nothing we were good. I raised the window all the way up and gently moved the curtains back to get my first full glimpse into the room.

Her bedroom door was closed that was a good thing at least for now and no one was in the room unless they were hiding under the bed. Her room was in disarray and I was pretty certain that someone had been in her bedroom going thru her things. When I looked at her bed it was confirmed someone had definitely been in here and left her a message.

This fucker didn't just leave Angelito a message he just signed his fucking death certificate because as soon as we find out who he is he is going to be dead by my hands. I motion for Ram to take a look and I see him tense as he takes it in. I can feel the fury roll off of him in waves. Oh yeah one very dead stupid mother fucker coming up.

Ram grabs my shoulder as I move to go thru the window. "Hector si vas allí y alguien está ahí vas a matarlo? ¿Puede el control de sí mismo para mantenerse de matarlo? si no, no puedo dejarte ir y tendremos que encontrar a alguien más. Dime ahora lo puedes hacer?" (Hector if you go in there and someone is in there are you going to kill him? Can you control yourself to keep yourself from killing him? if not, I can't let you go in and we will need to find someone else. Tell me now can you do it?)

I look at Ram's hand on my shoulder and then back at him. I see him steady himself he knows what I am capable of. I may be smaller than him but that doesn't mean that I am not more lethal in so many ways.

"RAM es mejor quitar la mano de mi hombro antes de vivir a pesar de que el hombre de decisiones. En cuanto a control se que tengo mucho todo lo que necesito. Si hay alguien en el hecho de que voy a decidir cuando llegue allí si dejarlos vivir o no. Dependerá de lo que han hecho, lo que hacen, y lo que pienso que van a hacer. Cuando he hecho mi mente acerca de aquellos que o bien se llevará a su vida o dejarlo vivir. Pero tu mano en mi hombro no me va a impedir entrar ahí. Usted debe saber mejor mi hermano." (Ram you better remove your hand from my shoulder before you live to regret that decision man. As far as control goes I have plenty all I need. If there is in fact someone in there I will decide when I get in there if I let them live or not. It will depend on what they have done, what they do, and what I think they will do. When I have made my mind up about those I will either take his life or let him live. But your hand on my shoulder isn't going to prevent me from going in there. You should know better my brother.)

Ram looks at me and removes his hand from my shoulder with a warning "Sólo recuerde de Bombshell está de pie justo delante de la puerta que no es necesario contar con una persona muerta en su apartamento y luego descubrir que usted es la persona que lo mató. Piense en su hombre antes de hacer nada." (Just remember Bombshell is standing right outside her door she doesn't need to have a dead person in her apartment and then find out that you are the person that killed him. Think about her man before you do anything.) I nod my understanding as I make my way into her bedroom.

I ignore the bed while it is gross what this fucker has done it isn't a threat to my Angelito. I make my way to her door and gently open it peering out into the hallway. There is nothing the apartment is quite. I quietly check her closet, her bathroom, her kitchen and finally her living room and dining room. No one is there. Can't say I am sorry but it would have been simple to have found who had left her the "gift" in the bedroom had someone been here. I make my way to the entry door and freeze in the entryway.

There was a device fixed on the door. Had the handle turned the device would have gone off. I step closer taking a closer look. I notice there are no real explosives to cause any damage just enough to make a loud sound. Had Ranger turned the key and the knob it would have gone off but only succeeding in scaring someone not harming them. I yell to Ranger form inside the door.

"Ranger ¿me oyes? No es un dispositivo que se ha colocado en el pomo de la puerta. Es principalmente diseñado para asustar a ella que su daño. Angelito había abierto la puerta que habría hecho un ruido fuerte y la asustó, pero no han perjudicado a ella o el apartamento. Estoy desactivar ahora en pocos minutos se puede entrar No es más el que hizo esto la dejó una sorpresa en su dormitorio en su cama." (Ranger can you hear me? There is a device that has been placed on the knob of the door. It's mainly designed to scare her than harm her. Had Angelito opened the door it would have made a loud noise and scared her but wouldn't have harmed her or the apartment. I am disabling now in a few minutes you can come in. There is more whoever did this left her a surprise in her bedroom on her bed.) I couldn't keep the venom out of my voice for that last part.

Ranger yelled back thru the door "Hector gracias y gracias por la advertencia." (Hector thank you and thanks for the warning.) "No hay problema" (no problem) I told him as I opened the door for them to enter.

RPOV

Hector opens the door and shows me the device. My Babe's intuition is never off she doesn't know how amazing she is. "Babe the door was rigged with a device that I had I turned the knob it would have gone off. You stopped me. You followed your intuition Babe your Spidey Sense and you saved me." She looks at me and tears well up in her eyes as her arms go around me and she holds me to her so tightly that we couldn't force a piece of paper between us.

"Babe it's okay shush don't cry Babe." "No it isn't okay Ranger you could have been harmed you could have been taken away from me, it isn't alright." "Babe the device wasn't dangerous it was mainly for sound than actual boom. It wouldn't have harmed us but I wanted you to know how important your intuition is. Your intuition had no way of knowing what type of device it was. It could have harmed us all. I wanted to let you know how important it is that you keep listening to your spidey sense and never doubt it Babe. I know I don't." The device was fairly amateur not really impressive to anyone who has ever built a bomb but I took the warning it served seriously.

I wanted to see what this Stalker had left for my Babe before she walked in so I distracted her a little. "Babe why don't you, and the guys start in the living room packing up the things you want to take while I go tell Ram that he can come down off of the fire escape." Please buy it. She looked at me and nodded. Whew.

I walked into her bedroom and went to the Bed. What was there disgusted me and sickened me. I knew there was no way around the men seeing this but on the other hand I also knew that it would embarrass my Babe. My anger was about to boil over as I gave Ram the sign to come inside. As he was making his way down the fire escape I closed and locked her bedroom window. Well it was no or never.

I walked to the bedroom door and called for my Babe. "Babe, will you come in here now there is something that I need to show you and you need to see." I knew the guys would stay behind since I didn't asked them join her, but I also knew it was no way around it they would see it.

SPOV

I heard Ranger call me from the other room. I had just got started packing my movies, my little things I had on the shelf of my entertainment center in a box. "Babe, will you come in here now there is something that I need to show you and you need to see." Oh god dread filled me. I knew this wasn't going to be good. I could feel my stomach wanting to revolt. After the device on the door it was just too good to think that there was nothing else wrong. I should have known better. It is never that simple when it comes to me.

I make my way to the bedroom and notice that none of the guys follow me. Oh this is so not good this is bad very bad. I mean like babies dying bad, puppies drowning bad. With every step I feel it even stronger and my desire to just run the other way grows leaps and bounds.

My apartment is small but walking from the living room to my bedroom felt like I was walking the green mile. If I listened carefully I could probably hear the walls whispering 'walkin' the mile, walkin' the mile, walkin' the green mile' as I took each step towards Ranger and my bedroom.

By the time I reached Ranger I had worked myself up into full blown panic mode. "Babe you need to calm down and breathe in and out slowly, breathe in and out." He demonstrated as he was telling me. I locked eyes with him as I started to follow his breathing patterns. It took a couple of seconds but I finally had my breathing under control. "Babe, know that we will find the person who did this and we will make him pay." I nodded my head as I made my way further into my bedroom.

When I saw the bed I couldn't control it, bile rose in my throat and I took off running towards the bathroom. I barely made it had any of the guys followed me into the hallway it would have been bad. As it was I had christened most of the toilet. I threw up and threw up until there was nothing left to throw up and I was left dry heaving and gagging. Ranger was right behind me holding my hair back rubbing my back and neck with a cold damp washcloth.

I made it to the sink to rinse my mouth out and brush my teeth to rid myself of the puke fest. My legs still wobbly I slowly made it back to my bedroom. This time the guys following me. I wasn't sure I wanted them seeing this but after my reaction I knew they would want to see what upset me so much. Ranger was right beside me and the guys were filed in behind us. When we got to the door I turned around facing them before we walked into the room.

"Guys there is something that I have to tell you here before you walk in here. You have to know that what you are going to see none of it is mine. I don't know where it came from but none of it is mine, was mine and none of it was here while I was here with the exception of the clothing used." I looked at my best friend Lester "Lester please don't make any comments about anything you see, okay" My eyes pleading with him. I was embarrassed as it was for them to see this that I didn't think I could take any comments.

Lester looked confused at first but then just agreed "Beautiful I don't know what it is but I promise I won't make any comments I can tell how upset you are and trust me Beautiful I don't want you to ever be upset like this." I just smiled at him. Sometimes he knew exactly what to say.

I turned and walked back into the room. Looking at the offending bed one more time taking everything in piece by piece on the bed someone had laid out several scenes for me. He created scenes with pictures from magazines, sex toys, and then used my under ware and negligees. Dispersed thru it all were condoms that appeared to have been used and notes for me. There were candles on the bed that you can tell had been lit and some wax spilled on to the comforter. There were also handcuffs, whips, and even chains.

I could feel the tension in the room as the guys looked at my offending bed. I could feel the anger, the heat and hatred rolling off of their bodies. I instinctively knew none of it was directed at me. I am not sure how I knew that but I knew it. We were family now and they were feeling like this because of how this stuff affected me, how it made me feel, and the fact that someone out there has a very sick sexual appetite and that someone has now set his eyes on me and from what the messages say that someone wants me to fulfill that sick appetite by acting out the sex scenes he has setup on my bed. I take Carlos' hand as I start to look over each of the scenes on my bed I need his strength and the assurance that he has hasn't left my side while I look over the scenes my newest stalker as left for me. I hope to find some clue as to who this guy may be.

It is a good thing I agreed to move in with Carlos because I would never be able to sleep in this apartment another night after seeing this. The first scene started with a magazine picture of woman sucking a man's dick. With that scene was a pair of my black thongs with a used condom laying on top. The note read. The rumor is you don't go down on men, that you won't take their dick between those lips of yours but I will teach you, I will be your first and you will suck my dick while I fuck your mouth until I cum and then you will swallow my cum as it fills your mouth. I have left you a sample if you would like a taste think of it as an early treat.

The second scene was a magazine picture of a man and woman having sex. There were several viberators of various lengths and thickness positioned around a picture of a girl holding herself open with her fingers. More of the used condoms and one of my negligees was lying near the picture of the girl along with another candle with spilled wax. The note read. I have heard that you suck when it comes to satisfying a man. That you can't satisfy a real man in bed I really hope for your sake that wasn't true. I hope for your sake that you take the time while you are fucking those men of Rangeman to learn some new skills because I don't like it when my women don't satisfy me in bed. Not satisfying me in bed would end very badly for you Stephanie and I wouldn't want to see that happen. I shuddered when I finished reading the note. Carlos pulled me closer to him.

"Babe do you need a break?" "No, I want to continue I may be able to find a clue as to who this person is. I am just embarrassed that you and the guys are seeing this." "Don't Babe this says nothing about you and everything about some sick demented sexual pervert out there that has focused on you. We will find him until then don't fear Babe he will never get his hands on you." I smiled and once again put a brave face forward. Carlos always knew what to say to me.

The third scene was a magazine picture of two women and one man having sex with each other. The picture was a woman on her back with another woman on top each between each other's legs while a man was having sex with the woman on top from behind. Where do you even get pictures like that? Again more pictures of girls holding themselves open this time there were two of them. More viberators along with a strap with a penis attached. Even a couple of fake tongues were placed around the pictures with two pair of my lace under ware where he had slit the crotched and propped it open as if they were crotch less panties. Used condoms, candle, spilt candle wax finished out the scene. The note read. I am just going to go with a feeling here that this is something that you wouldn't consider doing at this point. Maybe I should suggest two men since you probably have had some experience with that now. But that really isn't my thing so hopefully one will transfer to the other and you won't mind another woman joining us. Because other women will be joining us and you will need to perform one way or the other to keep me and my other women satisfied. But it will be good to not have to force you but I will if you don't comply. You could try thinking like mikey by just trying it, you just might find that you like it!

I wanted to puke again. I was so grossed out, I was so repulsed, and so embarrassed and now reading these notes these threats I just wanted to hide my head in the sand and force myself in denial land. This wasn't happening to me, it didn't happen. I would never wash the dirt off of that these pictures, the toys, the used condoms, and the notes were making me feel.

The fourth scene on the bed was a picture of a man and woman having sex from behind. You could see from the picture that he was in the back door if you know what I mean. I shuddered just seeing it. But more disgusting were the pictures of women's asses that he had placed the sex toys, used condoms, and a pair of my boy short but with this time he back cut out of them. Gross! The letter read: I know by just looking at you that you have a virgin ass and I can't wait to be your first. I promise you it will be fun and good for the both of us by the time I am done with you. You will be begging me to fuck you in the ass every time we are together. I can hardly wait. It won't be long.

I could feel myself wanting to heave my stomach contracting making me gag. I pushed it down one more scene to look at and then I was done. I wanted nothing more than to just run back to Haywood bury my head in Ranger's sheets and never come out again. My embarrassment was complete as well as my humiliation in front of the guys. I tried not to think about it and think about it like everyone of my prior stalkers but this wasn't like any stalker I had ever had.

The final scene on the bed was a picture of a man and woman in bondage. The woman was handcuffed to something the man had on a leather mask and he was holding a whip. You could see red spots on the woman's skin near her breast and lower body. Here he once again and pictures of a woman being spread wide by restraints and around that picture were whips, leather, chains, and other devices that I wasn't sure what they did. He chose a black negligee which he spilled candle wax on the breast and crotch area. With this scene the letter read: I can't wait to tie you up to handcuff you to my bed. To restrain your feet so I have you at my mercy. I will whip you and pour wax on your nipples and your pussy until you beg me to fuck you. You will be mine I will take you soon, very soon and make you mine in all the ways you see displayed here.

I turned to walk out of the room barely able to look at the guys I just felt dirty, unworthy of them to look at too touch. "Guys I don't want anything from this room or much from my apartment." I could no longer hold off the tears. I could never put on my clothes again without thinking about this man putting his hands on them. Going thru my drawers with my under ware, my personal items. Him doing god only knows what while he was going thru my things. I slowly made my way back to the living room.

Some things you can't just un-see and those scenes were one of them. The notes kept flashing thru my mind the words kept coming back to me as though my mind was replaying a video. I barely made it to the couch before I just collapsed it had been too much. Ranger was beside me before it even registered that he was with me and he was pulling me into his arms.

RPOV

I didn't know what I wanted to do. I wanted to hold my Babe and comfort her and tell her that none of that affects who she is that it is just someone's sick mind. I wanted to erase the fact that she ever had to see that but I was thankful she didn't have to see it by herself that I was there for her that her brother's and family was here for her. But most of all I just wanted to kill someone. The rage, the hatred, and fear I felt wanted an outlet needed an outlet. I wanted this man found, I wanted this man beaten, I wanted this man tortured, I wanted this man's dick cut off, but mostly I wanted this man's life.

Putting his sites on my Babe would have been enough for me to want to hunt him down and find him but by him threatening to take her force her to perform some of those scenes he had laid out on her bed. The notes he left attacked her womanhood, her sexuality, sexual positions and things that a man and a woman who loved each other may enjoy sharing with each other he turned dirty, disgusting, and cheap. Taking more experiences from my Babe and me that we could have shared together would now be tainted by the scenes he had laid out on her bed. I want his life truth be told I wanted more than his life. I wanted to kill him bury his body unbury it and kill him all over again. But since that isn't possible I will have to make the most out of killing him the first time.

I held my Babe as she cried, shuddered, and gagged. I knew she was replaying the scenes the notes in her mind. I just held her tight to me. I whispered to her "I am right here Babe and I am not leaving your side. I am here." She needed time to process what she saw, how she felt and I was going to give that to her but I also wanted her to know that I was right there and I wasn't going anywhere she could take her time.

I figured she would want to call the police to report she had a stalker I just wasn't sure exactly how we were going to do this. I knew she didn't want anyone other than me and the guys that were here to see all of things displayed on her bed. If I messed with the crime scene and then reported it I could be causing a problem with the investigation from the side of the law, not that this was going to court. He would be long dead before any court had a chance with him. I finally decided to leave the decision up to my Babe.

After a little while she finally calmed down. The guys remained in the bedroom processing the scene. I knew they had a kit brought over. I knew they would be scanning for finger prints, bagging the pictures, the notes and the items found. Hell truth be known my guys were better at crime scene preservation than anyone on the police force and rightfully so they were trained by some of the best crime scene investigators and forensic specialists in the country.

"Babe what do you want to do about reporting this? Do you want to call the police?" She looks up at me. Her eyes haunted and hollow looking and another wave of rage courses thru my veins. "What choice do I have Ranger? I don't want anyone seeing what is in there. I am already humiliated that your guys have to see it, that you had to see it." Why were they all of a sudden my guys again was she pulling away from us?

"Babe look at me, you have nothing to be humiliated by. No one is judging you, no one feels less for you because of what some sick sexual pervert some son of a bitch has done. If anything most of them are ready to kill him they are so angry at him for hurting you and putting you in this position. Believe me Babe anger doesn't even come close to how they are feeling and none of it is directed at you." She nodded her head. "Carlos deep down I know that I keep trying to tell myself that but I just feel dirty, unworthy, not good enough to be their friend, their sister..and…" she paused chocking on her words. Swallowing hard she continued "and your future wife."

I grab her and crush her against me she isn't walking away, I can't let her. Now that I have her I can't let her go. "Babe listen to me you are the same person that you were when we walked into your apartment nothing has changed with you. You are not dirty, you are more than worthy of us babe if there are unworthy people in this relationship Babe it is us not you. You, not good enough? Babe we don't know anyone better than you. Normally I don't speak for my men when it comes to their feelings or how they feel about something, someone but in this case I know how they feel. Babe you are the good we seek the light we need in our lives. You remind us that there is good in this world and it is worth fighting for." She was just looking at me saying nothing tears filling her eyes.

"Babe, please know that this changes nothing between us, nothing between what we share as a man and a woman who love each other. What you saw in there doesn't change you, it doesn't change what I see when I look at you, it doesn't change how much I love you, how much I need you, it doesn't change how much I desire you. Furthermore it will never change or affect what we give each other when we make love. Those scenes that were laid out for you were disgusting, dirty, and cheapen what a man and woman who love each may enjoy together."

"Carlos?" I look at her "Yeah Babe" "How is it that you always know exactly what it is I need to hear and say it when I need to hear it?" "I don't know Babe I guess it is just the connection we have. I don't know why I am just glad I do." Her lips touched mine and gently we kissed each other confirming our connection, our love for each other.

"Babe what do you want to do about calling the police?" She looked at me "Do we have to call them?" "Babe, the guys are processing the things now bagging, tagging, taking pictures of the scene. They are better than anyone on the Trenton force when it comes to processing a crime scene so no we don't have to call them right now." My Babe looks thoughtful for a moment, now this reminds me of my Babe. "Carlos, do they have the ability to process the evidence they have gathered?" "Yeah Babe we have the ability to process evidence for things like finger prints, DNA, etc." I know her answer as she looks at me "Well can they just process it and see what evidence we have and if we have any then we can call the police and turn it over, if not then let's just keep this between us right now, okay?"

I smile at her "Sounds like a plan Babe. I am proud of you. Babe you never disappoint." I wanted my guys processing the scene something told me that it was important to keep TPD in the dark about this as long as possible but I was going to give my Babe the opportunity to report it if she wanted to. "Babe I need to speak to the guys for a minute are you going to be okay here on the couch or do you want to come back with me?" She was thoughtful for a moment then responded no "Carlos I will be fine. Go talk to them I am going to finish up in here and listen to my messages on the phone. Once I am done in here I will be ready to go. I am not taking anything from my Bedroom with me." "Okay Babe, I will be right back."

I make my way to her bedroom. The guys are busy processing the scene. I step thru the door. "Guys I know I don't need to say this but be careful with every shred of evidence. I don't want anything happening to any of the evidence. If we have something here we can use I don't want it taken away because it wasn't properly collected or handled wrong. Guys dot your I's and cross your T's on this one. I know you are the best but mistakes can happen and I know you all are emotionally attached to this one."

Tank spoke up first "Rangeman how is my little girl? How is she holding up?" I looked at Tank "She is shaken. She is worried that you all will view her different or having seen what was here. She said that she felt dirty, unworthy, and that she wasn't good enough to be our friend, sister, and future wife."

All the guys started to speak at once shaking their heads in protest. I held up my hand "Guys, guys" getting their attention "Don't worry I told her that she wasn't being judged that you all still loved her and thought of her as your sister, that we only saw good in her and that she was worthy if there was someone unworthy than it would be us. She has calmed down a little and is in the living room finishing packing up the things in there."

I looked across the men and Santos was no longer with us. He was probably talking to my Babe. I would be willing to bet he didn't wait around to hear the end of my little speech. I will hang out here and watch the guys for a little and give him time to talk to her. While he is crazy and can manage to say the most stupid shit at the most inopportune moment he somehow knows exactly what to say to Steph to make things better for her.

LPOV

Processing the scene made me furious. I wanted this mother fucker's head both of them. I was going to make sure this mother fucker paid. He would pay dearly death wouldn't find him fast I would make sure of it. Death was after all one of my specialties as a Ranger and I would personally make sure that death eluded this asshole for a very long time.

I went about documenting, bagging and tagging the evidence but my mind was on Beautiful. What she must be feeling and thinking. I knew it would take all of us to pull her through having seen what this sick son of a bitch had setup for her.

I am a ladies' man and I have probably done everything in all of these scenes and more but it was never done cheap, dirty, and disgusting as these scenes were laid out on her bed. Hell I had done them and never felt the way the presented scenes made me feel. This was one sexually sick fucker and I hope to have him in my sites before long.

We were almost finished with processing everything when Ranger walked into the room making the announcement. "Guys I know I don't need to say this but be careful with every shred of evidence. I don't want anything happening to any of the evidence. If we have something here we can use I don't want it taken away because it wasn't properly collected or handled wrong. Guys dot your I's and cross your T's on this one. I know you are the best but mistakes can happen and I know you all are emotionally attached to this one."

Fucking A we are emotionally attached. How could we not be, it was our sister, our friend, my best friend that this fucker is going after of course we are fucking emotional. Stupid fucker didn't need to tell us or remind us.

Tank spoke up first "Rangeman how is my little girl? How is she holding up?" he looked at Tank and it felt like I was on pins and needles waiting to hear "She is shaken. She is worried that you all will view her different or having seen what was here. She said that she felt dirty, unworthy, and that she wasn't good enough to be our friend, sister, and future wife." That was all I could hear I bolted from the room in search of Beautiful.

I found her in the living room standing in front of a box with tears running down her eyes. I walked up to her and put my arms around her. "Beautiful please don't cry. When you cry you make me want to cry and when I cry I ruin my makeup." She giggles at my comment as her arms go around me.

"Shush Beautiful please don't cry. It is going to be okay I promise." She looked at me "Lester, do you still want to be my brother, my best friend? I mean after" I pulled her tighter against me. My throat went dry as the Sahara desert as I tried to form words and then speak them.

"Beautiful you are my best friend and sister, nothing will ever change it. We may not share the same blood as a bloodline brother and sister do but, I am your brother and you are my sister in all the ways that count, I love you as much if not more than I love my bloodline sister. It doesn't matter what happens nothing could change that. Especially not some pictures and cheap crap that someone left for you in an attempt to scare you."

"Lester I love you too, know that you are my brother and my best friend and I love you nothing will change that." "Beautiful let me help you pack up the rest of your things in here." She smiles at me nodding.

It wasn't long before we had the things she wanted all packed up. She went into the kitchen and grabbed her cookie jar that was all she was going to take from the kitchen with her. I checked her refrigerator and it was empty other than a few bottles of water and a single bottle of beer. I briefly thought what the hell does she eat. She looked sheepishly at me "Money has been tight. I haven't had the money to go food shopping."

Holy hell she didn't have any food in her apartment. I let her walk out of the kitchen hanging back I checked her cabinets and they were empty as well other than a box of pellets for Rex. No wonder she ate with such gusto when we would feed her. How did I not know this before? I wondered. I now had even more reasons to be glad she was moving into Rangeman.

TPOV

"Rangeman I think we are finished with the evidence. If my little girl has finished packing what she wants we can head home." He looks at me and nods as he walks out of the bedroom. The guys and I follow him to the living room where my little girl is standing by the phone.

"Babe have you finished packing everything you want?" She looks up at him "Yeah it is just these two boxes I am taking. The rest can go to the dumpster I don't want any of it." "Okay Babe"

She looks over at us "Guys I am sorry you had to see that. I am embarrassed and humiliated but I want you all to know that I still love you, I still feel as though you are my brothers, my friend I only hope that you still feel the same way about me." There were a chorus of 'of course we do', 'you can't get rid of us that quickly', and 'we love you's' from the men around me.

"Little Girl you are my sister and no sick demented twist son of a bitch is going to change that." She just smiled at me and then said. "Thank you guys I love you all too. If you don't mind I want to get my messages off of the phone and then I will be ready."

I wanted to verify that she did in fact wanted what was left in her apartment to be thrown away. "Little girl are you sure about the rest of your things, you sure you want them thrown away?" Looking at me she said "Tank, I packed what I wanted. I couldn't wear any of my clothes if I took them not after what…so yeah I got everything I want the rest is trash."

She turned back to the answering machine while I turned to the guys "Guys you heard her let's get the rest of this stuff to the dumpster. We split up a couple of guys for each the living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, leaving her bedroom for last. None of us really wanted to go back in there. When we got there we would take a box and just dump the contents of her drawers in the boxes we put the stuff from her closest in boxes and bags and hauled it all down to the dumpster including the bed, mattress, and linens even the dresser. When we were done the apartment was completely empty.

SPOV

I was standing by my answering machine when Carlos walked back into the room with the guys behind him. "Babe have you finished packing everything you want?" I look up at him "Yeah it is just these two boxes I am taking. The rest can go to the dumpster I don't want any of it." "Okay Babe"

I looks over at the guys "Guys I am sorry you had to see that. I am embarrassed and humiliated but I want you all to know that I still love you, I still feel as though you are my brothers, my friend I only hope that you still feel the same way about me." There were a chorus of 'of course we do', 'you can't get rid of us that quickly', and 'we love you' from the guys as they all started talking at the same time.

Tank spoke up "Little Girl you are my sister and no sick demented twist son of a bitch is going to change that." I just smiled at Tank and then told them. "Thank you guys I love you all too. If you don't mind I want to get my messages off of the phone and then I will be ready."

Tank got my attention again "Little girl are you sure about the rest of your things, you sure you want them thrown away?" I Looked at Tank and told him "Tank, I packed what I wanted. I couldn't wear any of my clothes if I took them not after what…so yeah I got everything I want the rest is trash." Then I turned back to the answer machine.

There were over a hundred messages. I am sure the burg grapevine had gone crazy after the past couple of days. I push play and it was as if claws were being drawn over a chalk board when the voice came on.

"Stephanie Michelle Plum this is your mother. You are due for dinner this evening at six p.m. sharp. You better be here little lady if you know what is best for you. If you ever want Pineapple upside down cake again in your lifetime you will be here for dinner tonight." I deleted it there was no way I was going there for dinner tonight. I have had all I can take in one day. I don't want her finding out that I have yet another stalker on top of everything else that is going on in my life. But if I didn't go it would probably only make matters worse. I looked at the time it was quarter to six.

Part of me wanted to run to our apartment take a boiling shower and blockade myself in and never come out. The other part of me wanted to get this dinner over with so I wouldn't have to worry about it. Monday I started training and I knew I would have to be top of my game for that. Okay that decided it I will go tonight. I listened to a few of the other messages Lula, Connie, Mary Lou all asking about how I was doing, how I was holding up. More from my mom and a few from Joe demanding that I call him I just deleted them I will deal with them later. I finally got tired and just deleted the remainder of the messages.

"Ranger my mother left me voice mail demanding that I come to dinner tonight at six. I don't want to subject you to anymore tonight so I will get you to drop me off and you can then pick me up later. I don't really feel like going but I want to get it over with before my training starts. I want to be focused on Monday morning." "Babe you never disappoint, but I won't be dropping you off. I will be going with you."

My mouth drops he is going with me. Holy hell he knows how crazy dinner with the plums can be and he is willing to go for me. "That's right Babe I am willing to do anything for you even dinner at your parents. Te amo Babe." I smile at him and repeat "Te amo" Carlos' growls at the sound of me speaking his native tongue.

I quickly deleted the rest of the messages I didn't need to hear all of them. I am sure most of them were from my mother. I took another look around my apartment and it was empty. The guys made fast work of throwing away everything not that I had a whole lot. I quickly left my termination in Dillion's mailbox as he wasn't in and we all walked out the parking lot. Ranger and I heading to my parent's and the rest of the guys back to Rangeman. I quickly gave all of them hugs and kisses and thanked them for their help before getting in the car with Carlos.
