These characters belong to Janet I am just borrowing them for my amusement. Although I would love to keep Ranger and the merry men for myself!

This story does contain violence, and touches on dark subject matters. This story is not friendly to Morelli or Helen Plum so for Cupcake fans you have been warned.

Another long chapter for you guys. Actually I think this is the longest chapter I have written but it is the dinner scene, then the aftermath I didn't make you wait. I want the next chapter to be her training so I just put everything in this chapter. Since the updates are coming slower I thought I would give you more. I Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 14: Preparing Pt2

HectorPOV

Something is feeding me, pulsing thru my body. After hearing Angelito tell Ranger that she was going to her mother's for dinner tonight I have been unsettled. I have spent too many nights and days as a gang member to one of the most notorious gangs in the city to just ignore that pulse. That is the same pulse that has kept me alive. While I was in the gang and when I decided I wanted to leave the gang.

Where I come from you don't leave a gang. Once you are member the only way out is death. I wasn't just a lowly gang member of my gang. I was one of the big dogs, I was one of the members that all the other members looked up to wanted to achieve to be and wanted to defeat to prove they were stronger. Some tried but none succeeded the smart ones weren't afraid to admit they were too scared to try to test my power.

When I decided to leave the gang and become a better citizen a better person they came at me with everything they had but none were able to stop me. The only thing their effort got them was dead. I had just about wiped out the whole gang I was a member of because of their stupid shit. They should have known better but in the end I understood they had a code to uphold and I had broken the code. I could respect that but that didn't mean I would let them succeed it just meant that when they came for me I had to be the one that succeeded. The winner and I was even if it were my own gang brothers I was fighting.

I am hardened to life and taking a life doesn't mean much to me. The guys know my reputation shoot first and ask questions later. Why the fuck not it had saved my life more than once on the streets and I didn't see the point to trying to fix something that wasn't fucking broken.

Then Angelito walks into my life thru Rangeman. While I don't work with her a whole lot I watch her. I watch out for her. I protect her. I can see a goodness that radiates from her and I protect that goodness. Angelito means little angel. She is my little Angel, Angelito. I am not even sure she knows yet that I call her that that I feel that way about her but it doesn't matter. One day I will tell her or she will find out.

I make sure her trackers are working, I make sure panic buttons work, I even watch her on the videos while she is at Rangeman to make sure none of the guys are rude to her. If they step out of line with her I remind them of how a respectful man should act around a lady. Most of the guys love her and care for her but there are a few that don't of those most won't say anything to her or out loud about her for fear of the other guys hearing. But on occasions there have been some contract workers that mouthed out concerning her. I had fun putting them in their place. I never told Ranger or Tank maybe I should have but I took care of it and it seemed to get them back in shape. Besides they temporary contract works they weren't there long.

People tend to talk freely around you when they think you can't understand them. I use it to my advantage whenever I can and I never let on that I know and understand English just as well as anyone born and raised in America. That is my secret and I have told no one. I have used it to keep people safe, to thwart a bad guy's plans, and I use it to watch over my Angelito.

We are currently in an SUV heading back to Rangeman while Angelito and Ranger are headed to Angelito's parent's place. Ranger may kick my ass later but as soon as I get to Rangeman I am going to get my gear and I am going over the Angelito's parents to watch their backs. If I am wrong I will welcome the ass kicking but I won't be wrong I know it with this pulse feeling they will need me. The way it is coursing thru my veins I won't be settled until I know my Angelito is safe.

I left the grocery store with a roast for dinner tonight. I planned on Roast, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Spinach, Gravy and biscuits for dinner. I hurried thru the store getting the items I needed and checked out. Hurrying home I had very little time to get things together and do what I knew I would need to do before dinner. I just hoped that mother would still be out of the house.

I remembered her having an afternoon visitation so she should be out. I smiled. I needed to throw Frank off. Part of me didn't want to interfere with the feelings that I had felt earlier by carrying thru with this but it was a necessity if I am going to keep meeting Joseph and since I wasn't planning to give it up anytime soon on my own I definitely need to make sure my trail was covered.

When I pulled up I noticed the cab was back. So Frank was home good. I smiled and got out of the car and took the groceries in and put them away. I got the roast started as that would need a few hours to cook. Once I had it cooking I took off in search of Frank.

I found him sitting in the living room as I stepped thru the doorway. His eyes never leaving the TV am I surprised. I think to myself, my son didn't even turn on the TV while we were together this afternoon and I can't get Frank to turn his head.

I walk up to him "Frank" He turns and looks at me. I bend over in front of him pretending to pick something up off of the floor. I then turn around and remind him that Mother will be out of the house for a few hours and suggest that he join me upstairs. "Honey you know Mother will be out of the house for a few hours this afternoon and the roast has a couple of hours of cook time. Care to join me upstairs?" Men can be so easy.

Frank paused the TV and gets up following me. I think he wouldn't want to miss any of his show oh well he never lasts long anyway and all I need is an excuse for my afterglow should my mouthy mother say anything about it when she sees me. Maybe I could coax him to stay in bed with me longer if I show him some of those new moves I learned today. I can always tell him I learned them on Oprah he is so dumb he would believe it.

We walk in the bedroom and I shut and lock the door, just in case. Then I dropped to my knees in front of Frank pulling at his pants thinking I am sexy tigress hear me roar.

FrankPOV

I was watching ESPN when I heard Helen pull in the driveway. I wondered where she had been but when she entered thru the kitchen door and I heard her banging away in the there and rustling bags I figured she had been at the store.

I heard her doing her thing in the kitchen while I was getting caught up on the latest basketball and hockey league happenings when she walked into the living room. She called my name to get my attention and then bent over in front of me picking something up off of the floor.

"Honey you know Mother will be out of the house for a few hours this afternoon and the roast has a couple of hours of cook time. Care to join me upstairs?" What is up with her she never asks for sex during the middle of the day but who am I to pass on the opportunity? I paused the TV and get up following her upstairs.

We walk into our bedroom and she closes and locks the door. I turn at the sound of the lock engaging as she stalks over to where I am standing. When she reaches me she drops to her knees and makes light work of getting my pants down. She takes me in her mouth and immediately starts working my dick. Oh this is going to be a fine round of afternoon sex. It has been a long time since my wife has done this to me. I have almost forgotten what it feels like. I may have to return the favor and extend our love making and forget catching up on the sport statistics.

MPPOV

As I walk downstairs from our bedroom I can't help the smug smile on my face. I Helen Plum have had sex with two men in the same day. I Helen Plum have had two men screaming my name while I sucked them and fucked them. I felt empowered, I felt sexy again, I felt enlightened. It had been a while since I had screamed anyone's name including Frank's and today I had not only screamed more than once I had screamed more than once with more than one man. I still had it.

I step into the kitchen to finish making our dinner and my thoughts return to Stephanie. That daughter of mine I just didn't understand. I want her to be happy, I want her to be married, I want her to have children, I want her to be a stay at home mother and wife. I want her to care for her children and her husband as I have for my children and my husband. Frank certainly should have no complaints. At least he didn't just a few minutes ago when he was screaming my name. I was so happy and so sated that I was practically bubbling. No matter what I tried to focus on my thoughts kept drifting back to my love sessions with my future son and my husband. Oh what a day! If I still kept a journal today's entry would definitely be an entry filled with and dot dot dot.

I still had it and after feeling what I did today I had no intentions of giving it up and I be damn if I am going to allow that bitch daughter of mine Stephanie to ruin it. She will take my son back, she will marry him, and she will become the person he wants her to be if it is the last thing I see happen. I am not going to have him pull away from me because my daughter is too stupid to see that it is going to happen and she shouldn't bother to fight it. I smile as I go over the plan my son and I came up with this afternoon.

Stephanie would come for dinner tonight at 6:00. Joe was going to park out behind the house so she would not know he was here until she was in the house. He actually was going to hang out back until she was in the house and in the dining room then he would come in the back door and join us.

We would all sit together and have a good meal. When it came time for dessert I would lure Stephanie into the kitchen where Joe would join us. I would already have their dessert packaged and ready to go and from there he and Stephanie would leave out of the back door go across the lawn to his waiting car on the next street over.

If Stephanie didn't want to go well Joe would encourage her to see things his way and if push comes to shove he would just handcuff and carry her over to his car. Then he would take her to his house and they could talk out their relationship until Stephanie agrees with him.

Hopefully tomorrow we will start planning their wedding. Then hopefully not long after that we will be planning a baby shower. I told him to just stop wearing the condoms even if she insisted just say no and take her she would give into him and let it happen if he applied the right pressure.

I just hoped that once he had Stephanie he would still want me for a romp between the sheets because after today I really wasn't ready to go back to the way things were. I took a beer to Frank in the living room. His paused TV was all forgotten about and whatever he had been watching was long over. I handed Frank the beer and I couldn't help but notice the smile on his face.

Oh yeah he was happy with me tonight. Having done that might have served more than one purpose not only did it account for my afterglow it made him happy with me so if there was any friction tonight with Stephanie or my Mother he would take my side after all I held the key to him feeling like that again. If he sided with me I may be more inclined to give him more, if he sided with them well I would just hold out on him. Oh what do they say about paybacks? Paybacks are a bitch and I am just the bitch to deliver

HectorPOV

When we got to Haywood I immediately went to my electronics office. I gathered the devices I needed and made sure my gun was loaded and my stun gun was fully charged. I checked to make sure I had all my blades on me. I knew with this pulse coursing thru m that anything could happen and I made sure I was prepared for anything. You didn't live to be as old as I was in a gang by being stupid or unprepared.

I wasn't old by most people's standards I am thirty-two but by a gang member standards especially in a gang as notorious as the gang I was in well I was ancient. That is why I was feared people instinctively knew I was dangerous and feared me. For those that chose to be my adversary they learned quickly as my hands dealt them death that there was reason to be afraid. That I was to be respected and feared for I would deliver them straight to the depths of hell and then walk back out.

Angelito saw none of that knew any of that. She somehow had found good in me. She made me see good not only in others but in myself. There isn't anything I wouldn't do to protect her including giving my own life if necessary. Here I had fought against some of the meanest, badest, and deadliest mother fuckers to walk the face of the earth and I had lived. I had protected my life I had fought for my life and I would give it up for hers. To say I would fight for Angelito well that went mildly. I would fight harder for her life than I have ever fought for my own.

The pulse I felt was telling me that tonight maybe one of those nights where I would have to fight for my Angelito and I was going to be prepared.

I pull out of the garage heading to Angelito's.

SPOV

We left my apartment and it only took a few minutes to get to my parent's. I really didn't want to go in so when we pulled up out front I sat in the car for a few minutes. I will be honest with you I was praying for divine intervention. I was praying that something would happen anything aliens zap up the house, aliens zap me up, tornado come and swoop me up taking me to the other side of the rainbow, I could face the wicked witch of the west better than I could my mother. But in the end divine intervention just wasn't on my side.

I looked to Carlos. He was just watching me with a slight turn up of his lip. Great he had just ESP'd me and knows all about the aliens and tornado wishes. Maybe that is a good thing maybe he will think I am crazy and admit me into the crazy ward then I won't have to go in.

"Not a chance Babe. If I admitted you into the crazy ward then I would have to admit myself because I don't intend on sleeping alone tonight or any other night." Great so he got all of that as well at least he still wanted to sleep with me that was a plus. He broke my inner dialog.

"Babe let's just go in the quicker we get in there the quicker we can leave. Okay?" Okay I could get on board with that idea, the leaving part that is. "How about we just leave?" "Babe" was his only reply I took it to mean you can do this, you can face your demons and you will come out on the other side. Carlos got out of the car and came around to my door. He opened it and helped me out.

As we were making our way to the door I couldn't help but to think of the Book of Eli and I repeated what Eli said with each step "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me" I know Eli said it to God but I said it with Carlos in mind I feared nothing even evil when he was beside me and my mom was pure evil. When I reached the door I remembered what Carlos, Lester, Tank and Bobby had told me about their mothers and how protective they were, how much they supported them and loved them and once again I found myself wanted their mothers to be mine.

As I reached for the door handle I steeled myself. I made the decision I wasn't going to let my mother get the best of me. I had found my legs with Joe and I was going to find my legs with my bitch of a mother. I had Carlos beside me I didn't need anything or anyone else he was my strength when I needed strength, he was my light when I was in the dark, he was my force and I was going to let it be with me. I was going to use it to stand up on my own two feet against my mother, against my whole family if necessary.

I saw Carlos looking at me watching me and I am certain he is understanding my every thought but I don't care I know he isn't making fun of me. I can tell by the feel of his hand on my back, my hand in his hand that he is offering his strength his support his love. He leans in and whispers in my ear "Babe, let's do this." Oh yeah he understood. I smile at him and give a quick tight nod. I open the door and we both step thru.

I typically call out if mom and grandma aren't standing by the door but tonight I just quietly and quickly walked in. It was exactly six o'clock so I figured everyone would be sitting at the table. When we walked in to the dining room I quickly noted there were two empty plates at the table. One I knew was for me but I didn't tell mom that Carlos was coming with me. She had something up her sleeve. I quickly squeezed Carlos' hand and he lightly responded telling me he saw it too.

"Mom, Dad, Grandma it is good to see you, you remember Ranger." I thought I would start of nice as we made our way to the two empty place settings on the table. I could see the look on my mother's face was pure rage. "Stephanie. Nice to see you again Ranger." My mother responded it was a forced response not sincere but she wasn't going to let go of her burg manners at least not yet.

Ranger and I fixed our plates and started eating when Grandma spoke up "Oh yes I remember Ranger, the man with the nice package." I blushed, my mother crossed herself and my dad just muttered something about a bat. My grandmother's eyes then pierced mine as her smile widened. "From the looks of you Stephanie I would say you know all about his package. That you have been having some fun of your own with his package you are glowing brighter than the light bulbs above us."

My mom gasped "Mother please we are eating dinner and we have a guest please don't say things like that around the dinner table." Mom no more finished when I heard the back door. I quickly thought this is who the extra plate was for. As the kitchen door opened I heard "Cupcake it is good to see you again…" Joe didn't finish his sentence as his eyes fell on Ranger sitting beside me.

My mother jumped up from the table "Oh Joseph it is nice of you to come. Would you like to join us for dinner? I will grab you a plate and some silverware, I will be right back." My mother hurried into the kitchen.

I could feel Ranger tense beside me but he wasn't going to make a move this was my move and he was letting me have it. Joe wanted to walk into my parent's house and act as though nothing had happened act as though we were still a couple and call me by that dreadful nickname then he was going to get it too. The burg would not be prepared for what might happen here tonight.

I wasn't sure the walls of this old house were prepared for what might happen here tonight. I doubt they were structurally capable of standing up to a category five hurricane and unless the tide suddenly shifted and washed Joe ass out cat five is what they were going to get. This was just the calm before the storm. You know that moment when the skies break open and the sun shines down and everything calms just before the storm hits. This was that moment. This was judgment day.

I reached for Carlos' hand as my fork hit the plate with a clatter. My Grandmother's eyes were bouncing around the room not sure who to land on first I could see the excitement building in her. Well at least she would have a show and something to tell the girls tomorrow at the clip and curl.

Joe was standing behind the last available chair at the table the chair beside my Grandmother on her left. My dad didn't even bother to look up he still had his head down and was just eating not paying attention to anyone. Typical Dad I thought. My mother returned with a plate and silverware for Joe and hurriedly worked around him sitting him a place at her table. I could see the excitement in my mother and wondered what the hell. When did she get so excited to see Joe at dinner? I squeezed Carlos' hand again and he responded letting me know he had picked up on her excitement as well.

Looking at my mom she had a little glow about her as well.

RPOV
Walking up to the door I heard my Babe chanting at first I couldn't quite make out what she was saying but finally I heard her say "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me" I was hoping that she was referring to me. Not that I had a thing against God I just like protecting my Babe and I like to know that she seeks that protection from me and that she doesn't fear because she knows I am there beside her and I would never let anything happen to her at least not as long as there is a breath in my body no harm would come to her if I could prevent it.

I watched her face as she reached the door the thoughts and feelings flashing thru her eyes. I paused just watching her giving her the time she needed to think thru what she was replaying in her head. I saw her steel herself I saw her confirm her standing in the world I saw her pulling herself up to her full height standing on her own two feet. My Babe was amazing simply amazing and watching her transform before me was hotter than hell. I almost picked her up and made a run for it. I knew she was ready and I was going to give her all the strength, all the courage, all the support I could give her.

I placed my hand at the small of her back and took her hand in my other hand. I lean into her "Babe, let's do this" she gives me a quick tight nod letting me know she is ready. She opens the door and we walk in.

We quietly walk thru the house until we reach the dining room. I quickly take note that there are two place settings. I didn't think my Babe had told anyone I would be coming. I feel her squeeze my hand she hadn't. They were expecting someone else and I bet I couldn't guess who that someone else might be. I lightly squeezed her hand to let her know I saw it.

My babe spoke first "Mom, Dad, Grandma it is good to see you, you remember Ranger." She was going for nice. Nice. "Stephanie. Nice to see you again Ranger." It was a forced response but I nodded my head to the greeting. I didn't feel the need to speak. We made our way to the table.

Babe and I fixed our plates and started eating when her Grandmother spoke up "Oh yes I remember Ranger, the man with the nice package." I just sat there my Babe blushed, her mother crossed herself and her dad just muttered something about a bat. Her Grandmother then locked eyes with my Babe as her smile widened. "From the looks of you Stephanie I would say you know all about his package. That you have been having some fun of your own with his package you are glowing brighter than the light bulbs above us."

Babe's mom gasped "Mother please we are eating dinner and we have a guest please don't say things like that around the dinner table." She no more finished when I heard the back door. I quickly thought this is who the extra plate was for. As the kitchen door opened I heard "Cupcake it is good to see you again…" Joe didn't finish his sentence as his eyes fell on me.

Babe's mother jumped up from the table "Oh Joseph it is nice of you to come. Would you like to join us for dinner? I will grab you a plate and some silverware, I will be right back." She hurried into the kitchen.

I could feel my Babe tense beside me but I wasn't going to make a move this was her move and I was letting her have it. I was just offering my strength, my support, and my love. I could tell my Babe was having a conversation with herself and I could feel the anger coiling thru her I could feel her controlling it using it to her benefit and I would have to say I have never been more proud of her or more turned on by her. Here I am sitting at her parent's table supporting a massive hard on luckily we are at the table because it hides it well. But she is so damn beautiful when she is like this it is hard for my body not to respond to her.

I felt her reach for my hand and I took it. She had made her decision I could tell by the way she held my hand. She was ready for battle. I quickly glanced around and wondered if the walls of this house would be able to support what my Babe was going to unleash here tonight.

Her mother came back in hurrying to set a place for Morelli at the table. She seemed excited different than times in the past when I had dinner here. Of course that had been a while and only a couple of times so I really didn't have much of a baseline for her but something told me she was acting a little off tonight. My Babe squeezed my hand again and I responded letting her know I had seen the same thing.

Morelli went to sit down and my Babe spoke up "Joe do not sit down at this table." Oh this was going to be good and damn it I didn't have a recorder. Joe looked at her "Cupcake your mother just invited me to join you all it would be rude if I didn't sit down." My Babe narrowed her eyes at him and her eyes turned to the color of cold blue steel and her voice turned icy which sent a shiver up my spin. "Joe I am warning you if you sit down you will not like what will happen. The last time we talked I told you to leave me alone, I told you to stop calling me cupcake I warned you. Sit down in that chair and there will be no further warnings." He looked at her turning slightly red. "Cupcake you can't tell me what to do in your parent's house your mother invited me I am sitting down and I am eating a nice home cooked meal." He looked over at Helen and she blushed.

It was like passing the microphone because her mother started "Stephanie how dare you treat a guest of this house the way you have for you to treat Joseph your future husband like that what are you thinking?." My Babe turned to look at her mother her eyes becoming fixed. "Mom Joe isn't my future husband. He will never be my husband he won't even be a friend when I am done with him." She glances back at him and then back to her mother.

She releases my hand and takes both of her hands and grabs my face pulling me to her and she kisses me with the intensity that I have to remind myself where I am. Holy hot hell if I died right this moment I would have been a happy man. "Mom, Dad, Grandma, and you, you sick fuck Joe I want you to all hear this and I want you all to know this beyond a shadow of a doubt. Ranger is my future husband I am his future wife he is my life and I am his and I choose him. I will always choose him it will never be Joe or anyone else. It will always be Carlos be Ranger so back the fuck off of me. If you have problems with my choice keep it to yourself or better yet if you can't keep it to yourself then shove it up your ass because I don't give a good flying fuck." Her mother gasp, her grandmother laughed, Morelli turned some shade between red and purple and her Dad just sat there almost in shock. I am not exactly sure what I felt. I think it would be somewhere along the lines of pride and jubilance she chose me but bad asses don't do jubilance.

"Stephanie I didn't raise you to speak like that to talk like that to say words like that. What kind of daughter are you that can say stuff like that at the dining room table. What kind of bitch did I raise that you could speak to your family like that to Joseph like that? Those men you have been hanging around those criminals they have been a bad influence on you. You need to apologize right this minute young lady and sever ties with those men those thugs. You need to apologize to Joseph and you need to accept his offer of marriage if you want to belong to this family. If you still want to be considered our daughter a part of this family you will act right, the way you were raised." Her mother screeched.

Babe's eyes turned hard and cold her voice was ice cold. "Mom you have never approved of a fucking thing I ever wanted. You were too embarrassed by me and disappointed in me my entire life to ever care or give a fuck what I wanted or how I felt. It was just what you wanted and what others would think that you cared about that mattered to you. You didn't care about me so stop fucking pretending to care now because I know you don't. You had your chance to protect me. You had your chance to defend me. You had your chance to care for me. And you had your chance to fight for me. And guess what mom you fucked up every single fucking time. You let me down that's right mom you let me, your daughter down." My babe took a deep breath I knew she wasn't finished

"When I came home when I was six fucking years old and told you what that sick son of a bitch did to me in his father's garage you blamed me and grounded me. Why didn't you protect me and defend me by notifying his parent's what he was doing to young girls. No you kept it our dirty little secret making me feel dirty at six years old mom." I know I am sick but why the fuck didn't I bring a recorder. This was pure beautiful. My Babe was taking her life back and she was calling those that wronged her to the mats. This was judgment day for her.

"When I was eight and jumped off the roof and broke my arm you lied when we got to the hospital. I could have been seriously injured I could have had internal bleeding a concussion and because you chose to lie to the doctor they didn't do any of the tests they should have, they only fixed my arm. Why didn't you make sure I got the care I needed by telling them the truth. Did you care for me? No you put me in danger by lying all to protect your dear precious image of our fucked up family."

Her Dad's fist connected with the table and then he spoke up "That is enough Stephanie you have said enough I think you should leave." She turned towards her dad and I knew that comment hurt her I knew he could hurt her the most. She grabbed my hand with a vice like grip as she set her sites on him.

"Dad you have always been quiet never speaking up and you choose to speak up now I guess I know where I stand in your life. Well that being the case and you choosing now to say something I have something to tell you. I looked to you for protection, I looked to you for support, I looked to you for love and I always questioned why I never really got it. I tried to force myself to believe that you loved me in spite of it but I guess I now have my answer to that. You taking mom and Joe's side so be it. Know that I no longer look to you for those things and I haven't for a long time. You didn't give them when I needed them and I sure as hell don't want them now when I don't. So you know you can go fuck yourself along with the rest of them." Holy shit she was hot and I silently prayed I never got on her bad side.

My Babe looked at me her eyes and voice softened "it would never happen batman" who the fuck was she kidding she had ESP, she had just ESP'd me.

She turned her gaze back to her mother and continued. "Like I said you had your chance. When I was sixteen and came home ashamed because that sick fuck Morelli had taken my virginity" She focuses on him as she clearly enunciates the following "without my consent, without my permission, and without my having told him yes." She looks back at her mom "He came in and locked the door and just took from me what he wanted. At the time Mom I didn't understand like I do today but he for all intents and purposes he raped me and what did you do what did dad do I tell you fucking nothing other than grounding me and calling me a slut who couldn't keep my legs together. Mom and dad just in case you two are too fucking stupid to realize it that was the moment when I needed my parent's I needed you to protect me, care for me, and fight for me instead I got something else far from that. Like I said you both had plenty of chances to do right by me and you both never made the right decision, never did the right thing, never cared about me above your worthless selves so don't hand me no shit about how you just want me to be happy, you just want me to have a happy life. If that is the case then do me the fucking favor of never stepping foot in front of me again and staying the fuck out of my life and I will have a happy life with the man I love and my true family my brothers."

Her mother gasped and crossed herself probably for the tenth time since we had been there "Stephanie Michele Plum I don't know what has gotten into you but you apologize right this minute. You take it back and you act like the young lady we raised not some heartless bitch who has been running with hired killers." You would think these three would want to duck for cover instead of causing her to set her sites on them but these dumb fucks couldn't learn.

Steph focused further on her mother "if I hear that any of you have called my family, yes I repeat my family thugs, killers, or criminals again so help me god if it is the last thing I do on the face of this earth you will live to regret it. I will make sure of it. So from now on out I would choose my wording very carefully if you are talking about my family. They are my brothers, my friends, my best friend, and my future husband I will clarify my soon to be husband." I was speechless she wanted to marry me and she wanted to marry me soon. I was on cloud nine I almost lost focused of what was happening around me that statement made me so happy. I had to remind myself bad asses don't do cloud nine fucking shit.

Joe finally found his voice "Cupcake you know you are going to marry me you know he doesn't want to marry you. Hell once he is done fucking you he will send you back to me. Like I have told you before I know you can't satisfy a man in bed why the hell do you think every boyfriend you ever had and your x husband have all cheated on you because you suck in bed. Mark my words Ranger will be no different." My babe smiled and squared her shoulders.

Her fury turned to Joe. For a fleeting moment I may have felt sorry for the sick son of a bitch but he deserved everything my Babe was going to throw at him. "Joe you sick fucking child molesting bastard and rapist. The reason my x husband and my x boyfriend cheated on me was because they were fucking assholes. They were less than worthy of being called a man and they didn't know how to keep their dick in their pants. They were weak and they were selfish, self centered bastards that would never be faithful to one woman no matter what she did. They didn't deserve my respect, my trust, or my love. I may have stupidly allowed them to fuck me but I never allowed them to make love to me and I sure as hell never made love to them. I have only made love to one man in my life and I intend on doing that for the rest of my life." She turned her head and looked at me her whole body softened as her eyes met mine and she smiled at me I squeezed her hand and smiled back. Then just like the shifting tide she turned and faced Joe with coldness and hardness in her eyes that should make any opponent of hers quake.

"Joe you right I do suck in bed but it isn't the kind of suck that you are talking about. Tell him Carlos." Oh shit here we go again. "Babe like I told you before. You could never suck when it comes to making love to me you complete me, you satisfy me in a way no woman ever has, you make me whole you make me feel like a god among men when we make love and I feel you cum around me on me under me. I can't get enough of you. You satisfy me so much, but like I told you if you want to suck in bed now that would be all my pleasure." I knew that is what she wanted me to say but I added the other to let everyone know how much she means to me, how much she does satisfy a man in bed, how much I love her, and that she was mine.

She looks at me her eyes soften and warm with desire as we stare at each other almost forgetting anyone else is in the room. She smiles "That's right and my reply to you was no sucking you was definitely not just all your pleasure that it was my pleasure too as I am addicted to your taste."

She knew exactly what to say to enrage him and enrage him she did. He screamed coming up out of the chair so fast that it fell over backwards. "Cupcake I mean it I am no longer playing your games you get your fucking ass over here right now we are leaving. You are coming with me if I have to handcuff you and drag your ass out of this house. You are coming with me now. I have had enough of this I have heard enough from you and no future of wife of mine is going to sit across from me and talk to me about sucking some other guy's dick." My Babe was ready for him.

"What's the matter Joe? When we were together it was okay for you to have your dick buried in Terry and god knows how many other women. It was okay for your head to be between their legs and I am sure their head between yours. Hell you even went as far as saying you wanted me to join in with your little whores." I noticed her mom blush hmmm. "But I can't have any side action of my own?" with that he starts to round the table to face off with my Babe. "Cupcake if you are going to suck a guy's dick you are going to suck my dick." She acts like she has just figured out the big puzzle. "Oh so Joe you are mad not because I fucked Carlos not because I gave him my body and he gave me his but because I won't suck your disease riddled dick. But that I sucked Carlos' delicious wonderfully huge dick and drank him with pleasure unable to get enough." Faster than anyone could act he reaches out and slaps her hard.

I go for him ready to kill him but she blocks me "No Carlos don't he isn't worth it." She touches my hand and squeezes it. I then realize it was what she wanted him to do. I understand now, now she has the leverage. "Joe you just assaulted me. Please know that I will be filling charges against you for assault and battery." Damn she had them all eating out of the palm of her hands including me and none of us saw it coming. She had played him like a fine tuned fiddle of course I was enraged that her plan had caused her to be hurt. We would discuss that when we got home but damn if she wasn't beautiful.

Stephanie's mom screeched "Stephanie you know you asked for that. You pushed him and pushed him until he had no other choice than to put you in your place. After all you are his future wife and here you are telling him about how you have been with another man what would you expect? You know you deserved that." She turned again to her mother.

"Mom Joe is nothing to me he is my future nothing. As far as he should be concerned I can sleep with anyone without him having any say. Carlos is mine and I am his he is my future husband you need to understand that it isn't Joe and never will be. Joe had no right to hit me and no I didn't deserve to be hit no woman ever deserves to have a man lift a finger in anger towards her. If that was the case then Daddy should have hit you a long time ago. Make no mistakes charges will be filed and a restraining order will be issued making him stay away from me because he is still too fucking stupid to leave me alone. Him showing up here tonight is proof of that."

Stephanie turns to her Dad "Dad I don't know what to say to you other than I am disappointed in you. I thought you loved me that you would support me but I guess not. I hope you are happy with your choice. I hope you are happy that your wife enjoys fucking other men because she has been doing it for a long time. I am not going to tell you who or when I will leave you to figure that out but I am almost certain it hasn't stopped. So continue to look the other way the way as you have been doing for years I am sure nothing will change your dinner will be on the table at six, bury yourself in that stupid fucking TV and maybe she will throw you a fuck every now and then for good measure. Have a nice fucking life because when I leave here tonight I won't be coming back into this fucked up house and this fucked up family." Damn I am speechless.

She turns back to her mom who is standing there with her mouth wide open "That's right mom you didn't think I knew you didn't think I knew all those years ago what you were doing. I knew, I just never told anyone because I didn't want anyone hurt by your actions. But now I don't give a fuck. You had your chance like I told you and you fucked it up every time. You are all chanced out. I hope you have someone you are fucking on the side now because you will be able to spend more time now that I am none of your business. I wash my hands of you, I am done with you as of this moment you only have one daughter. My name will be changed so fast and Plum will be erased from it so fast that it is going to make your head swim. From the moment I walk out of his room out of this house I am dead to you and you are dead to me do you understand me? Do not call me, do not ask me to dinner, do not even speak to me and if you see me on the street I would advise you to turn and walk the other fucking direction if you know what is fucking good for you. If you press me I will wash all your dirty laundry for everyone to see. I know now all I was to you was a distraction by flashing me in front of everyone and showing everyone my mistakes and shortcomings you were hiding yours. Well let me tell you, you may have hid them from everyone but not from me I saw and if you push me I will tell. I have a very big mouth as you have witnessed here tonight. Have a nice life."

With that she turned away from her mom as she had her dad and faced Joe. "Joe I warned you to stay away from me after you fucked Terry. I warned you not to call me Cupcake and not to disrespect my chosen family and I warned you not to sit down in that chair but you chose to not listen and for that you got what you deserved and you will be sorry. I will be heading to the police department in a matter of minutes to file charges so expect the police to show up on your door step and don't bother running because we will find you. I have allowed you to fuck me over one too many times and this time I promise you asshole it isn't happening again."

She gave him another look "oh and Joe don't bother coming by my apartment looking for me I moved out today. I just finished packing up my things I am moving in with my soon to be husband which is obviously not you so stop thinking it is, and stop saying it is. Don't come around thinking that I want to talk to you, want to forgive you, or anything else. I want nothing to do with you ever. If you are a smart man which I seriously doubt you will heed this warning and just stay the fuck away from me. If you don't you will live to regret it I promise you cop or not."

"Cupcake you moved out of your apartment today?" Her head snapped up and she squeezed my hand I squeezed back. She narrowed her eyes "Yes, why do you ask Joe?" He just shrugged and said "I thought you moved out earlier I have checked the lot the last couple of nights and you weren't there." Something was off how would he have known she wasn't there when she didn't have a car? Maybe because the lights were off. I know with the device on the door he probably hadn't gone in the apartment but something wasn't adding up.

My babe finally turned to her Grandmother who had laughed, smiled, and was glowing with pure pride looking at her granddaughter. "Grandma from the look on your face I can see you support me. You always have. Know that I know that and know that I love you. I will always love you and you will always be my Grandmother. Know that I will find away to stay in touch with you but I won't be stepping foot into this house again to do it." With that she hugged her grandmother and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Edna just patted her on the back and then said "Baby Granddaughter I have never been more proud of you." Edna was a scary woman and it was a little unsettling when she talked about my dick but she supported my Babe and for me that earned her brownie points.

My Babe looked at me smiled brightly and then said "Carlos let's blow this popsicle stand I need to get to the station to file my complaint against one of Trenton's detectives a Joseph Morelli supreme asshole bitch fucking and dick sucking scumbag that decided to hit me tonight because he couldn't control his temper." I gave her a full on 200 watt smile "Babe you never disappoint."

As we made our way thru the house to the front door Joe came at her again but this time I blocked him with a simple move that had him hitting the wall to the right of us. We stepped thru the front door on the porch and were down on the side walk when he came running out of the house screaming at us again.

HectorPOV

In my bag I had picked up a listening device and recorder. The listening device only needed to be pointed at the house to hear everything that was going on inside. We had these devices courtesy of the government and used them on our missions as well as for some take downs when we needed to know how many people where in a house.

Before I pulled up at Angelito's house I took a trip around the block and noticed Morelli's car parked on the Street directly behind her parent's home. So he thought he would sneak in on Ranger and Angelito. Of course he probably didn't know Ranger was going to be with her. He parked here so she wouldn't know he was going to be there.

Now I know and understand the reasons behind the pulse that I felt. He had something planned he probably planned on taking her from her Parent's house. Well that wasn't going to happen. I quickly pulled up behind his car. I put a tracker on his car I thought I would monitor what he did over the next couple days see if I saw a pattern. Then I went about disabling his car if he tried to take her tonight and somehow was successful in getting her to his car then his car wasn't going anywhere. I quietly slipped back into my car and went around to the front of Angelito's parent's home.

When I got there I parked down from Ranger's car and setup my listening device and recorder. I heard my Angelito's voice fill the car. I could tell by the venom she was mad. I am not certain mad covered what she was. I briefly looked at the house and wondered if it could withstand what she was about to unleash on it.

I had recorded her whole conversation everything she told her parent's everything she told Joe I had even heard skin hitting skin and when I heard her tell Carlos no that he wasn't worth it I was ready to invade her parent's place and take that fucking pitiful excuse of a cop's life right then. He had hit her and no one would hit my Angelito and live to tell about it. I was her guardian I had taken it upon myself to guard her to protect her.

I heard them leaving and I heard a thump of someone hitting the wall seeing Ranger and Angelito coming thru the door I knew it wasn't them. I guessed it was Joe. I immediately exited the car to have their backs I don't even think they realized I was there. When Joe came out of the house again screaming and running at them I took him down.

No I didn't kill him, or shoot him I was there between them before it even registered on them and I grabbed Joe and slammed him down on the pavement effectively taken all of the fight from him as he was gasping to catch his breath that had been knocked out of him. I doubt that he even knew what hit him.

Stephanie gave me a hug and kissed my cheek rubbing my tear drop tattoos. The feel of her skin touching mine allowed the good to filter back in my soul and I was able to walk away from Morelli with him still having his life. I wouldn't tell Angelito how rare that was for me. To walk away from someone who posed a threat to me or mine with them still having their life. She didn't really need to know that. She didn't need to know that her single action tonight resulted in saving that piece of shit's life.

RPOV

I turned when I heard Joe scream and start running toward us but he never made it onto the sidewalk before Hector was there taking him down. What the hell? Where the fuck had he come from? I didn't tell any of my men to follow me here tonight.

Now I feared for Morelli's life not that he deserved to live but I didn't want my Babe to have to see his life taken before her eyes. I knew Hector I knew if he deemed Morelli a threat he would take his life without a second thought and ask questions later that is how he worked that is what has kept him alive all of these years. That is why he didn't really do take downs with us at least not the part that had hands on skips or they would never make it to the station.

Stephanie walked up to him and at first I wanted to pull her back away from him. Hector is a harden man much harder than many of my other men. You were a smart man to fear him and to give him his space but my Babe didn't understand to fear any of my guys she trusted them blindly never questioning her safety.

I watched Stephanie walk up to Hector give him a hug then she kissed him on the cheek and rubbed her fingers across the tear drop tattoos I briefly wondered if she knew what they meant. What I saw next had me speechless. I knew she had a positive effect on all my men but when I saw Hector soften at her touch and step away from Morelli I was shocked. Her goodness her light affected him just as it did us all.

Morelli should kiss the ground my Babe walks on she had effectively saved his life tonight and didn't even know it. What she thought was a thank you to Hector actually resulted in her saving Morelli's life.

I turned to Hector extended my hand shaking his when our hands met. "Hector gracias hombre. Gracias por tener la espalda, pero se puede saber por qué estás aquí?" (Hector thank you man. Thanks for having our backs but may I ask why are you here?)

Hector looks at me and responds "Guardo mi Angelito. Cuando me di cuenta de que ibas a venir aquí me sentí un impulso que me dijo que algo estaba fuera. Quería asegurarse de que Angelito estaba a salvo. Por eso vine aquí y trajo un dispositivo de escucha con grabadora. Tengo la mayor parte de la conversación. Yo era un poco tarde porque me coches pendejos con discapacidad. Aparcó en la calle de al lado." (I guard my Angelito. When I figured out you were coming here I felt a pulse that told me something was off. I wanted to make sure Angelito was safe. So I came here and brought a listening device with recorder. I got most of the conversation. I was a little late because I disabled assholes car. He parked on the next street over.)

So he had taken it on his own to guard her. He was calling himself her guardian lord help anyone that threatens to harm my Babe. But honestly truth be told I was glad I knew Hector well enough that if he put himself in that role then he loved my Babe. I also knew him being in that role harm wouldn't come to my Babe. I just wondered how many dead bodies we are going to have to hide for him being in that role. Oh well I would worry about that another day. For now I will just be grateful.

"Hector vamos a la estación. Stephanie tiene que presentar un informe en contra de Morelli y obtener una orden de restricción. Estaremos en Haywood poco después de eso. Nos vemos allí y gracias hombre. Oh, ¿puede enviarme una copia de esa grabación?" (Hector we are going to the station. Stephanie has to file a report against Morelli and get a restraining order. We will be at Haywood shortly after that. I will see you there and thanks man. Oh can you send me a copy of that recording?)

I wasn't sure I wanted to tell him that but I was sure he probably heard him hit her and already knew it. He looks at me nods his head and then goes back to his car heading for Rangeman.

I look at my Babe "Babe you ready to head over to the station?" She looks at me I see she looks tired the adrenaline is leaving her system. "Yeah I am ready as ever I want to get this done and then get home and go to bed I am tired." We make our way to the car. Morelli is still lying on the side walk but hey he is breathing so he should be thankful.

SPOV

We made it to the police station. Carlos in his zone and me resting my head against the head rest of the seat I was tired. That wasn't exactly how I intended for tonight at my parent's to go but I'd be damn if I was going to let them walk over me. I'd be damn if I was going to let Joe sit across from me at my mother's dining room table after I told him to stay away from me and stop calling me that fucking name Cupcake. And I'd be damn if I was going to let them tell me who my future husband was.

I told nothing but the truth I had nothing to be ashamed of embarrassed by and I sure as hell wasn't disappointing anyone that gave a shit about me. In some ways I felt so liberated free that I felt like I was flying. That I could fly if I wanted. I was taking back my life. I was standing on my own two feet and it was judgment day at the Plums and it felt so damn good.

Hearing how the guys mothers were made me realize all the things mine wasn't it made me see her for her true colors, colors I would never admit to seeing prior. I guess the same was true for my Dad when I realized that he was going to side with mom. It is okay I wouldn't expect any less. I was hoping he would support me but in twenty seven years he never had once taken up for me, spoken up for me I shouldn't have expected or hoped for it now.

One would think I would be a blob of tears after effectively taking myself out of my family but I wasn't. I didn't feel the way I feared I would the way I thought I would feel. I was free, I was liberated. All I felt was freedom coursing thru my veins and it felt damn good. If I listened carefully I could swear I could hear the little munchkins singing about the witch being dead.

Carlos broke me out of my little celebration "Babe come on we are here." Oh yeah I guess we are. We got out of the car and walked into the station. I walked up to the window and Robin was behind the desk. She looked up at me and did a double take. "Stephanie what happened to you. You have a heck of a mark there." So it begins.

"Hi Robin I need to file a report. Can you get one of the guys for me hopefully Eddie, Big Dog, or Carl any of them will work if they are on duty." "Sure Steph hang tight for a minute while I see who is available."

I reached for Ranger's hand. Holding his hand gave me courage and strength and I was going to need it to get thru this report. It would be hard telling this even though it was my idea and my plan from the moment Morelli challenged me by taking a seat at the table. He was never going to stop harassing me unless I made him. Round two of standing up for myself of standing on my own two feet and round two of judgment day was coming.

It wasn't a couple of minutes before Eddie and Big dog walked into the waiting area. Eddie spoke up "Hey Steph what can we do for you?" I turned to him smiling "Hey Eddie I need t file a complaint I was assaulted this evening as you can see" I motioned to my face "and I need to report it. I also need to get a restraining order."

Eddie spoke up "That is some shiner there Steph. Why don't you come on back and we can get everything filled out." We all headed back to a private room.

Eddie had someone with a camera take a few pictures for documentation purposes and then he asked me what happened. Calmly as I could I told him. "Eddie, Joe and I got in a heated conversation and he hit me. I want to file charges against him and I want a restraining order." I could see shock on both Eddie's and Big Dog's faces then I could see something else. They were mad.

Eddie spoke again "Steph are you saying that Joe did this to you? He hit you and gave you that shiner?" I nodded my head "Yes Eddie he did in my mother's dining room to be precise."

Big Dog just shook his head and then asked "Steph you said you had a heated conversation can you tell us what the conversation was about."

I looked at him "Big Dog I won't give specifics but I was basically telling him that I wasn't now nor ever going to be his future anything let alone wife. Besides it doesn't matter what we were talking about what matters is that he hit me and I want to file assault charges against him. I want a restraining order preventing him from coming near me in the future."

Eddie spoke up "Steph are you sure you want to do this? This is Joe we are talking about it this will affect his career as a police officer a detective." My mouth dropped open how dare him. "Eddie I can't believe you just said that I don't give a fuck how it affects him or who the fuck he is. He should have thought of that before he raised his hand to me. I am no longer anyone's fucking door mat and that includes Joe's so if you don't want to fill out the paper work and do your fucking job than get someone else in here that will do it." I was seething.

Eddie started back peddling "Steph honey I didn't mean not to do it I just wanted to make sure you knew what would happen. I just wanted to make sure before we took the next step because once we do there will be no undoing it." I relaxed a little and nodded that I was sure.

"Eddie I am sorry I jumped on you like that it has been a long night and as you can see and my temper is on a short fuse." He looked at me and gave me a sad smile "I understand how that can be the case."

I filled out the paperwork and gave them my statement. All in all it didn't take long and Carlos and I were on our way back to Haywood. My first night sleeping in our home, the first night of many of me sleeping with my soon to be husband in our home and that thought made me very excited. It would have been nice had tonight not happened and we would have been able to really celebrate without this hanging over our head but it is what it is at least according to Paula Abdul. I was just glad to be free to finally feel free.

Tomorrow I would wake up in the arms of my lover, we would make love. We would hold each other we would share the day together. Then Monday will come and my training would begin. I couldn't be happier even though I now had a sick sexually sadistic stalker after me I still couldn't be happier at this moment. I was taking back my life and I was freeing myself of the dead weight that has done nothing but held me down and held me back.

JPOV

Downing my first shot of bourbon I can't help but think that bitch! She shows up at her mother's house with that fucking criminal. She then proceeds to completely destroy our plans for the evening. My plan to take her home with me completely ruined. The boys missed her I needed some alone time with my Cupcake and that wasn't going to happen tonight. Damn it I am pissed.

Not only did she say she was my future nothing she told me that she was sucking that thugs dick the nerve of her. She would never do that with me and she will with him. That was going to change. She would suck my dick if it is the last thing I do. She thinks this over. She thinks that by filling charges against me and getting a restraining order she will stop me well I hate to inform her but this is war and she started it by humiliating in public, by humiliating at her parent's house, and by sucking another man's dick. Hell she is probably taking it up the ass as well.

I am a fucking cop for Christ sake I know there are a whole lot of people six feet under who had restraining orders against their attackers they are about as worthless as the paper they are printed on. A piece of paper wasn't going to stop me from getting what I wanted and right now what I wanted was Cupcake sucking my dick and me fucking her ass.

She had gone by her apartment but I never got a call from the department. I wondered what she did with the stuff I left her and I wonder if that little bang device did its intended job in scarring her. I briefly wondered how she felt about the different scenes I setup for her on her bed and if she knew how excited it made me to do it thinking about her with every scene I laid out.

I wonder why she didn't file a report with the police. Fucking bitch always ruining my plans, it felt so good slapping her tonight. I hope she realizes that is only tip of the iceberg as to what I am capable of and by her actions tonight she deserved a whole lot worse than a simple slap but at least I was able to do that. For that I could feel good. I ordered my third shot this time a double.

I am furious and I am disappointed that she is moving in with those thugs my access to her will be limited but I will find a way. I will find a way to get my Cupcake. I will find a way to break her trust in them, I will get her back. I will make her mine.

When Ranger and Cupcake walked away leaving me lying on the sidewalk trying to catch my breath Momma came out to check on me. "Oh my Joseph are you okay? What did they do to you?" I wasn't really sure what happened to tell you the truth. "Momma I am fine I think I tripped or something."

She rushed over to me and helped me up. "Joseph I don't know what to say. I have no excuse for Stephanie's actions tonight other than to just say that she is a bitch and if you let me I will make it up to you." I look at her and smile. "You don't need to say anything but I will definitely allow you to make it up to me. How about I call you tomorrow and we will setup a time to meet." She looked at me eyes sparkling "Okay my son I will talk to you tomorrow." With that I made my way to my car which wouldn't start

Well I guess it is a good thing I didn't drag Cupcake out tonight I wouldn't have made it far with my car not starting. Another fucking thing gone wrong tonight I made my way home grabbed my bike and then went to the nearest bar I needed a drink.\

RPOV

My Babe impressed the hell out of me tonight. She stood up for herself, she stood on her own two feet and she didn't allow anyone to walk on her. She was pure beauty, she was a goddess tonight. She was every bit worthy of the wonder woman title she had always wanted. That gave me an idea of a surprise I would have for my Babe tomorrow morning.

She didn't know it but while she was doing her training the building was being renovated she would have an office beside mine that adjoins to mine. We would share the same bathroom between our offices but there would also be a door between the offices that we could use instead of walking thru the bathroom every time. I knew exactly what I would do for her office as well.

I pulled into the garage at Haywood parking in my spot. I got out of the car went to her door helping her out. Part of me couldn't wait to get her upstairs but I knew if the guys on the monitor saw her shiner they would want to hear from her what happened. I knew some of them would be pissed at hell at me for allowing it to happen. Come to think of it I am surprised Hector left without saying more to me, or doing more to me.

We get on the elevator and I pull my Babe to me placing her back to my front as I leaned against the wall of the elevator. I knew it was going to stop on five I didn't need to push the button. Sure enough the elevator came to stop on five. When the doors opened Lester, Bobby and Tank were standing there at the doors in the back ground I could see some of the other guys Cal, Hal, and Ram where standing all waiting to hear what happened.

My Babe spoke up first "Hey Guys! I know you all are wondering what happened to me. How I managed to get this shiner while at dinner at my use to be parent's house." I saw the guys eyebrows go up questioning her statement. This was her show I was going to let her have it.

"Guys let's just say my mother invited an unexpected guest to dinner one who I didn't want to sit down at the table across from me. I told him not to sit down but he didn't listen to me so he got what he deserved." I could see confusion on the guys faces. Lester spoke up

"Beautiful you are losing me here you are the one sporting the shiner, what exactly did he get that he deserved? I hope my cousin here beat the shit out of him. At least he better tell me he beat the shit out of him." I could hear the anger in later part of his statement. Oh yeah they were going to be pissed at me. Stephanie shook her head.

"No Les, we didn't lay a single finger on him. He slapped me but we didn't touch him. I left my parent's and I went to the police station where I filed an assault charge and obtained a restraining order against one officer Joseph Morelli, the bitching fucking dick sucking piece of shit swine that he is. I warned him but he wouldn't listen. As for Ranger beating the shit out of him he tried but I blocked him. Had he done that I wouldn't be able to file my charges and Joe would have arrested him so I stopped him."

The guys were smiling at her statement. I could see how proud they were of her and they didn't even know the half of what she had done tonight. If they could have seen what I had seen they would be as floored by her as I was.

Lester looked at her and asked her "Beautiful you said your use to be parent's house. You okay? You want to talk about it?" She looked at him and smiled. "Maybe tomorrow when my actions have had time to sink in but basically I told my mom and dad that they could go fuck themselves. That when I needed them they failed me and now that I don't need them I don't want them." I could see shock in the guys. I know the feeling.

I pull her to me and place a kiss on the side of her neck and she melts more into me. "Guys I am pretty tired I had a rough afternoon and night so if you don't mind I am going upstairs but I will see you tomorrow, okay?" The guys nod and give her a hug and kiss before we get back on the elevator heading for seven.

"Babe you hungry do you want me to call Ella to bring up something for dinner?" She giggles "Carlos haven't you had enough of dinners for one night?" I chuckle "yeah Babe I guess I have. But I have to say seeing you tonight I have never been more proud of you and I have never seen you more beautiful or sexier than you were tonight."

She looks at me with tears swimming in her eyes "Thank you" she says as the elevator comes to a halt and opens. I open our apartment door and grab her picking her up carrying her across the threshold.

"Carlos what are you doing? You carry your wife over the threshold not your girlfriend." I look at her and smile "Well according to you, you are my soon to be wife and I wanted the practice. Besides I love holding you. Where to Babe?"

"Carlos I want to take a shower. I really need to wash the day off of me between the stuff at my apartment and my parent's house I feel like I need a shower to just get the dirt and grime off of me." I carry her into the bathroom and place her on the counter top beside the sink.

I reach in and turn on the shower letting it get warm while my attention focuses back on my Babe. "Babe let me" I start to slowly take off her shirt, her pants, her bra and her underpants until she is sitting there before me naked. I quickly shed my clothing. I take her brush and run it thru her curls along with my fingers freeing her hair of any tangles that may have formed since she last brushed her hair. Her eyes closed and I can see her body begin to relax under my touch and attention.

I whisper to her "I may be cleaning your body Babe but it isn't because of anything that you saw today. What you saw, what you went thru today left nothing on you Babe. It didn't taint you, it didn't dirty you, and it didn't change you. You are still that beautiful sensual sexy woman that is mine. You are still my Wonder Woman the woman of my dreams that excites me, that allures me, that makes me want you in every way a man can have a woman. You are still every bit the woman I love, I adore, and the woman I will cherish until the day I die. Today changed nothing."

A tear fell from her eye. I knew she needed this time to let it out. Standing up for yourself, standing on your own two feet battling your own wars I know is important but I also know that you need a release from it in the end. You need to release those feelings. You need to come to grips with those feelings or they eat at you. I knew Stephanie needed this release she needed to come to grips with her feelings. She needed process time and understanding.

"Babe what you saw today those scenes they speak nothing of who you are, what you are, or what you choose to do. They cheapen what it means when a woman and man who love each other share. Know that what we share with each other isn't that cheap rendition of those scenes. What we share when we are together is beautiful, it's sensual, it's exciting, it's sexy, but most important what we share when we are together is love. What we have his pure love for each other pure desire for each other and pure passion for one another. Passion, desire and love that can't be tainted by pictures, toys, or anything else you saw today." I spoke to her as I kissed her body.

I started at her lips and then worked my way down her body giving each her of her breast and nipples a kiss as I made my way down her body. I gave her mound a gentle kiss and continued down her body until I reached each of her feet.

She didn't say anything just had her head back and her eyes closed reveling in my lips touching her skin you could see the joy she was feeling on her face. I gently picked her up and stepped into the shower. Placing her under the spray of the shower head I gently ran my fingers thru her hair as the water soaked thru and ran down her body.

I watched the water as it trialed down her body and I prayed to be water at that moment. To be able to run down her body feeling her skin under me oh the feeling that would create. I took one finger and trailed the bead of water down. With my other fingers ghosting slightly over her skin I watched the goose bumps they left in their wake.

I grabbed her shampoo and poured some into my hand gently I started working it thru her hair washing her hair rubbing my fingers across her scalp. She moaned and I hardened even more. After working her hair into a sudsy lather I reached for my bath gel and her loofa where I proceed to wash my Babe's body. Paying attention to certain areas of her body with my hands and fingers instead of the loofa I could tell it had just about sent my Babe to the edge.

I wasn't ready for her to cum yet so I turned her back into the water rinsing her sudsy body and her hair. I picked up her conditioner and run it thru her hair my fingers running from roots to tips of her hair. Once I had her hair coated well I then picked up her razor and proceeded to gently shave both of her long sexy legs. When I was done I led her to the seat in the shower and coaxed her to sit down.

When she sat down on the seat I kneeled between her legs nudging them so she would spread them for me which she did. Seeing her wet almost made me forget what I had planned. But getting myself back under control using the loofa and some shaving cream and I went over the area of her mound. I shaved her bare. She was smooth and silky when I finished.

It was erotic and I wanted her so bad at that moment I could barely think but I kept it together. I stood her up maneuvered back to the water and rinsed the conditioner from her hair and the remnants of the shaving cream from her body. I quickly cleaned myself and rinsed and stepped out of the shower. I quickly dried off but remained uncovered. I wanted my Babe to see the affects she had on my body.

I wanted her to know that I responded to her body, her sexuality, her sensuality as a woman that she affected me even doing the simplest of things. I grabbed a towel for her and helped her out. I went about drying her body inch by inch. Letting the towel ghost down her skin drying her I gave her a towel for her hair which she quickly wrapped around her hair and head.

Once I had her body dried I placed her again on the counter where I proceeded to rub her down with lotion from top to bottom. When I was done I let down her wet hair and rain my fingers thru her hair and then I brushed her hair free of any tangles.

I could see my Babe was completely relaxed by the time I was finished. I picked her up and once again asked "Babe where to?" Never opening her eyes she said "Bed Carlos take me to bed." Now that I can do. It will be my pleasure. I walk into the bedroom with her in my arms and I place her in the center of the bed.

Crawling up the bed to lie beside my Babe I asked her whispering in her ear "What now Babe, What do you want?" Once again she doesn't open her eyes but just speaks "Carlos I want you to make love to me, I want to feel you inside me. I want to feel our connection. I want you to take me. I want to take you. I want to taste you again, I want to ride you Carlos god I want it all." Holy shit she was hot when she talked to me like that.

"Babe you can have it all, I am here for the taking and it will be my pleasure to take you to bury my cock into your hot wet center to feel your muscles pull me in and contract around me as your sweet nectar spills around me and on me. Making love to you is my greatest pleasure. I love you my Amante."

My Babe turns toward me on her side and looks at me her lips touch mine kissing me lightly and then she pulls back and she repeats my words "Carlos you can have it all I am here for the taking and it will be my pleasure to have your cock buried in me. It will be my pleasure when I feel you spasm and feel you empty inside me. Making love to you is my greatest pleasure. I love you my Amante."

Her lips again seek mine and the kiss turns to hungry passion. She breaks first as she raises up on her knees working her lips down my body. I quickly grab her body and pull it closer to me my lips meeting her body working their way up and she works her way down mine. Both of our lips, teeth and tongues working each other as we both are making our way to each other's promise land.

When I feel my Babes tongue lick the pre-cum off my dick I lift her legs and place her tight wet pussy right above my face. Her legs straddling my head, I raise my head to taste her to drink from well. Feeling her lips on my cock further drives me to lick and suck at her. We are both being driven by the other both feeding each other as we push one another to the edge. I feel my balls tighten I feel the spasm coming and I hold it off as long as possible so I can taste more of her as fresh gushes follow her moans which the vibrations they cause make me want to shoot off as if I was heading to the moon.

Both of us giving and taking at the same time it was pure pleasure for both of us until it reached the point that neither of us could hold on to the edge any longer and we both fell. I shot off in her mouth coating it with my seed as she gushed and I quickly tried to seize every drop of that deliciously addictive nectar as it left her body.

Once we came down from our orgasms I turned my Babe so I could taste us I knew she would taste her and I would taste me and together we would taste us. It was as erotic as I thought it would be when my tongue entered her mouth as hers met mine and they entwined together effectively mixing our juices.

We both moaned at the taste and my dick hardened god I could never get enough of this woman. My hands reaching between her legs I could feel that she was wet with need and want she was just as ready for me as I was for her.

My god what this man could do to me, what I wanted him to do to me. Whenever he touched me my body screamed to please him. My body screamed for him to take me and ravish me anyway every way he wanted. I was his and he was mine. My body was an open blank canvas for him and he was the artist who had the freedom to paint whatever it was that pleasured him on me. No one in my life ever had that amount of freedom with me. No one ever had that amount of trust or free reign when it came to me and my body. I never trusted someone so freely so openly that I would open myself up to them and give of myself the way I did for Carlos. Oh what that man could do to me.

Tonight when we got back to our home, god I love saying that, I just wanted to lock myself in the bathroom and bath until I had washed off all the dirt. Truth be told I probably would have scrubbed myself until my skin fell off with all the mixed up feelings I was feeling. But Carlos wouldn't allow me to bask in the dirt, the cheapness, the filth of what we experienced today. Instead he cared for me bathed me, dried me, even applied lotion to my freshly bathed skin. It was relaxing, it was exciting, it was non-expecting something that I had never experienced with another man.

Carlos took care of me without the expectations of him getting anything. His touch was as erotic as it has ever been for me but I could tell it held no expectations on his part. His touch was telling me that he was there for me, that he would care for me, that he supported me, but most of all it spoke of his unconditional love for me. He didn't love me for what I would give him, he didn't love me because I would allow him a sexual release. He loved me because he loved me. Actually I wasn't really sure why he loved me, but I was just grateful, thankful, and felt special because he did.

His hands ghosting over my body while he bathed me had me quivering with need. I needed him so bad yet he continued. When he sat me down and nudged me to spread my legs I couldn't believe how acceptingly my body opened for him. There was no hesitation, no shame, no embarrassment my body just responded to his request. It left me feeling desired, feeling sexy and confident. When he started shaving me I was overcome by the feeling of need I wanted this man like I had wanted no other man. My body was opened for him, it ached for him, the desire to have him fill me was so strong I could feel my inner muscles clamp down and pulse with the need to be fulfilled.

My lower lips were wet with the desire I felt for him. I wanted to scream for him to take me but I resisted this was his show he was showing me what he wanted me to see of his feelings for me and I wasn't going to interrupt that with impatience.

When he stepped out of the shower and dried off but remained uncovered standing naked before me as he dried and caressed my skin it was all I could do not to take his hard erection in my hand and force his show along a little but I resisted. Seeing him hard for me the desire on his face the love in his eyes it was all I could do to hold back so when he set me on the counter I just closed my eyes and felt him touch me.

Felt his long strong fingers and hand as they rubbed the lotion into my body. I felt his fingers lightly rub across my sensitive skin leaving a wake of burning fire behind them. I was on one had so relaxed yet on the other hand so excited it was an odd combination sensations he was creating in me.

When he asked me where to there was only one place I wanted to be with him and that was in bed. I never wanted these feelings to end. I didn't even open my eyes when I felt him pick me up and place me on the bed. I felt him crawl up beside me

He asked me what I wanted and I responded that I needed him to make love me that I needed to feel him inside of me that I needed to fill our connection. Then I got carried away and my mouth just started working spitting out stuff my brain was thinking but I would have never been brave enough to say to anyone other than Carlos. I told him I wanted him to take me that I wanted to take him that I wanted to taste him again and ride him.

When he told me that making love to me was his greatest pleasure I couldn't help but repeat those words back to him. Letting him know that I felt the same way letting him know that he could have all of me that I loved to feel him buried in me and I loved when my body made him spasm with release and that I loved him with all I am, all I have, all I ever will have.

I kissed him and couldn't wait any longer to taste him. I had to have his taste. I broke the kiss and slowly made my way down his body. He pulled me closer and positioned me so as I worked my way down he was working his way up. When my tongue touched his harden dick tasting the pre-cum I almost lost it. I was lost in the taste the sensations I barely noticed he had moved my body on top of his. When I felt his tongue lick me and his lips suckle me pure lust ran thru my body.

I had him in my mouth sucking him licking him tasting him as he was tasting me the thought alone just about drove me crazy with desire. It fueled me and drove me to pleasure him more to push him to the edge like he was pushing me. There was no embarrassment there was no shame there was only love that I felt. Love from him and my love for him. My body pleasuring him as his body was pleasuring mine the way it should be. The way it was when a woman and man loved each other.

I tried holding on I tried pushing my orgasm back as I wanted to continuing pushing him to the edge I wanted him to cum. In the process we were only driving each other crazy us both waiting for the other but neither stopped pushing and both resisting our own pleasure of release. In the end we both just pushed too hard and neither of us could control the fall as we both lost the battle to our own pleasures and came with a roaring release that left us breathless and me in a jellied state of barely conscious.

After a couple of minutes Carlos turned me around facing him and kissed me deeply. When our tongues met I could taste our juices mixing combining in our mouths and it was erotic, I didn't even know I did erotic but this man pulled it out of me. It was sexy it was hot and it had me screaming for more of him. I could never have enough of this man in my arms. He was waking up a sexual desire in me that I never knew existed. It was bold, it was demanding, it was sexy, and it was insatiable for the man of my dreams, the man of my desire, the man that held my heart.

I felt him harden as I felt his hand seek me out finding me warm wet and just waiting for more of him. I reached down and ran my finger long his hard erection. Taking him in my hand and rubbing him back and forth has fingers were running along my folders over my clit and then pushing deep inside me. He kept repeating that pattern as I was stroking him. Our eyes locked on each other the desire we felt written on both of our faces.

Revealing in the feelings of touching and being touched we both just allowed the pleasure to fill us to the point where we had to have more we had to be connected. Carlos rolling towards me placed himself between my legs. Positioning the head of his massive erection at my opening I had yet to remove my hand from stroking him as he was still stroking me. Our hands still rubbing each other while my wetness coating him and me. He lowered his head and took my swollen and tight nipple in his mouth suckling and nipping at the bud.

I was so close to losing it. It felt like I was going out of my mind. I reluctantly let go while he started to push himself into me at a painstakingly pace. I wanted to just grab him and pull him into me but I resisted and just allowed myself to feel the sensation he was creating as he was gently pushing in me my walls opening for him, my body stretching to accompany his massive cock. My body wanted to curl into him but I resisted the urge just feeling the pleasure he was giving me.

I could see his eyes rolled back in his head as he continued to slowly push his way home. I knew this was bringing him a much pleasure as it was me. He was still working my nipple with his mouth switching from side to side so both got to reveal in his attention. I could feel my orgasm building and he wasn't even all the way inside me. Not that it mattered that man could make me cum just by looking at me the right way. My body just responded to him like no other.

When he was fully sheathed inside me he brought his head up and stared into my eyes. I felt the world shift I felt the earth rock underneath us and I felt the building quake with the feelings running thru me thru him. If there had been a shadow of a doubt this was my soul mate prior to this there would be none after this moment. This wasn't just two lovers making love. This wasn't two people who cared about each other sharing themselves with one another. This wasn't a woman and man seeking comfort and desire with one another. This was two souls combining, this was the intertwining of two hearts two lives that would or could never be split apart again. I could tell by his eyes that he felt exactly the same thing I did. I could tell that he witnessed the same quake and the same coming together of souls. I saw his eyes turn black I felt him shudder I felt his control break as did mine.

I am not exactly sure what happened after that moment as all conscious thought left my body as I gave into the carnal primal emotions and went for him as he went for me. Both giving and taking what we needed on the basic human level. I do know I have never had a more intense orgasm I do know that I have never rose as high or fell as far in my entire life. I also know that I have never screamed as loud or begged to be fucked the way I had begged Carlos. I also knew there would be marks on both our bodies for days to come to mark the night that our souls came alive took control of our bodies and mated in the most primal of ways.

I lay there beside Carlos exhausted surprised satisfied and somewhat feeling of wonderment I turned looking at him "What…?" trying to ask what was that but not being able to finish. Looking at me he shook his head "Querida I don't know all I can say it was the single most intense feeling I have ever felt in my life." I nodded I didn't have the ability to form any more words at the moment and words didn't really seem to do what I felt what we felt between us justice.

It wasn't long after that before sleep took us both.

I am not exactly sure what it was between my Babe and me last night but it rocked both our worlds it was like when I looked at her our eyes locked on each other and I could see her soul. It was like her soul and my soul bonded together and took over our bodies. We no longer had the control our souls had the control and they came together taking and giving to each other. All I know is I have never felt anything remotely close with anyone else. It was intense it was thrilling and I knew I needed to feel more of it. I craved it I desired it.

I never knew it could be like that and now that I had a taste I would want it always. I wanted to learn to control it to hang on to it to allow myself to bask longer in the sensations that it created in me. It was powerful, it was electrifying, it was beautiful, and it was raw.

It left you feeling spent exhausted yet happy fulfilled and exhilarated I know bad asses don't do happy fulfilled and exhilarated but get the fuck over it this one now does all of that. At least with my Babe I do.

I woke up me spooned to her back. I was hard and pressing into her backside. I needed to feel myself inside her again so I started playing with her nipples and kissing, nipping, and sucking on her neck, shoulder and back as my fingers played with her nipples. One hand I let trail down her stomach and down her mound. Finding her wet between her folds I moaned.

I gently raised her leg as I sheathed myself in her from behind. Entering her I heard her moan as she started to stir. She then relaxed back into me as she started to press her tight little ass into me. "Morning Babe" She looked over her shoulder and smiled "It is now Carlos." She responded as she ground her ass into me eliciting a growl from me.

God I couldn't get enough we had sex more in the last twenty four hours than I had had in the last three years yet I couldn't get enough. I didn't think I would ever be able to have enough of her and as long as she was within reach of me I would want her ache for her desire her.

Today was Sunday the day before her training is to start and I didn't want anything preventing her from being a hundred and ten percent to start her training. Our lovemaking was slow and gentle when we both came I pulled out. Getting up out of bed I picked her up and carried her into the bathroom. Like last night I sat her on the counter and filled the bathtub with warm water and bubbles. I knew she had to be sore.

I placed her in the tub. But I didn't join her I knew if I joined her I would once again not be able to control myself and end up having to have her again which wouldn't help her soreness. "Babe rest here for a little while. It will help if you have any sore muscles this morning." She just smiled at me. She would never say she was sore but I knew she had to be hell I was sore.

I went to set her surprise in motion while my Babe soaked in the tub. Getting on the phone I called a friend who owned a spa and ordered the works for my Babe. I had Ella fix my babe a special cake for dinner tonight and then I set about ordering the special things I would need for my Babe's new office.

Heading back into the bathroom to get my Babe out of the tub I can't help but to think about last night again and how powerful our lovemaking felt. It felt like we moved heaven and earth when our souls combined. It left me with a smile on my face I didn't think I would be able to erase it is good I was going to be offline today. Because I bet today my Babe wasn't the only one glowing in after glow. If the guys saw me they would never let me live it down even loving my Babe the way they do.

They would never tease her about her afterglow but me now me they would ride my ass every opportunity they got. They would tease me relentlessly until I drug one of their sorry asses to the mats to shut them up and Lester would be the one leading the show.

"Babe, time to get out I have a surprise for you. You need to get out so we can get dressed and get breakfast." She looks at me and smiles. Then she stands up and steps out into the waiting towel in my hands. I dry her off and wrap the towel around her. Then we head towards the closet. "Babe it doesn't matter what you wear just pull something comfortable. Like your yoga pants and t-shirt. Don't even bother with makeup or your hair. Just pull it up in a pony tail or loose bun."

We no more finished getting ready before Ella was brining breakfast. We made it to the table and I noticed Babe's breakfast was pancakes with blueberries and raspberries I wondered if she would catch on the red, white, and blue theme of the day. Those were wonder woman's colors after all.

Once we finished eating we headed down to the car so I could drive her to her surprise. I had called one of our clients that owed me a favor. He happened to own a luxury spa that we provided security for.

Typically they care closed on Sundays but he was going to make sure one of his top employees would be there to meet us. Of course I would make it well worth his and their efforts. The spa was about an hour drive so I put on some softer music so my Babe could relax. Who was I kidding she would be sleep before we hit the highway.

I look over and sure enough she is sleep. I smile. She could sleep anywhere. But I still took it as a compliment that she trusted me enough to sleep while I was driving. She trusted my driving. She knew I would protect her to the best of my abilities.

We pull up to the spa and it is beautiful. I lean over and gently kiss my Babe's lips "Babe wake up we are here." Her eyes flutter open as she takes in her surroundings. "Ranger where are we, it's beautiful." Yeah it is Babe. We are at the Grand Cascades Lodge but we are going to a place called Reflections."

"Reflections?" "Yeah Babe you will see. Come on." We got out of the car I could tell she was excited I knew the place was luxurious beautiful with its red décor little crystals hanging from the ceiling. When we walked up to the place my Babe let out a squeal. "Carlos you are taking me to a spa?" "Yeah Babe I am treating you to a spa day. I want you relaxed and ready for tomorrow and I thought this would help you." "Carlos its perfect it's beautiful." As we walked up to the door she sighed disappointingly "Carlos they are closed. They aren't opened on Sundays." I looked at her and smiled. "Babe they will open for us. I promise you." I knocked on the door and a woman came and opened it.

"Hi Mr. Manoso we have been expecting you my name is Tammy please come in and we will get you all settled." I just nodded as I stepped aside for my Babe to go in first. Once we were inside Tammy asked if we would like anything to drink. "We will have some champagne and water please." I didn't want my Babe to drink too much but I wanted her to relax and enjoy herself.

In a few minutes Tammy was back with our glasses and a bottle of champagne. She quickly poured our drinks and then asked what we would like. "Tammy I won't be partaking in any of the services I just brought my fiancé. I want her to have the royal treatment. Can you give her a list of the services you provide so she can select what she would like." "Sure thing Mr. Manoso I will be right back."

She left to get the information leaving me and my Babe alone. "Babe I want you to select what you want I want you to have the royal treatment price isn't an issue. If I get a hint that you are selecting services based on price I will make the selection for you."

SPOV
He brought me to a spa. I can't believe it they weren't even supposed to be opened today but they opened especially for us. Will this man ever stop surprising me with what he is capable of? I mean they just opened for him. He called and they opened. Holy hell I feel like a famous movie star. You know the ones that get private shopping sprees private openings of movie theaters private openings of restaurants. Well I get private opening of a spa.

This place is gorgeous with the red fabric on the walls the crystals hanging from the ceiling it screams luxury it screams expensive and exclusive. This wasn't your average run of the mill spa.

Tammy comes back in and hands me the list of services. "Here is a list of our services please look them over and let me know which ones you would like." I could tell she felt awkward not knowing my name. "Tammy I am Stephanie you can call me Steph if you would like. I will let you know as soon as I have made my selection."

She nodded and walked away. I looked at the services and they all sounded so luxurious so relaxing any of them would have made me feel like I had died and gone to heaven. They had so many to choose from it was difficult but in the end I made my selections. Carlos was insistent that I choose a treatment from each grouping. I was concerned about time but Carlo insisted that we had all day.

So I chose under the luxurious skin care section I chose Om Signature Facial – A restorative and de-stressing treatment with pure organic aromatherapy to replenish and nurture from the inside out. The skin is purified, toned, and exfoliated with powdered pearls – crushed Champagne grape seeds restore the skin's luminosity A face and neck massage with an organic chamomile and lavender anti-aging crème, along with a restorative Manuka Honey masque, leaves the skin glowing and the soul rejuvenated.

For the decadent massage Carlos talked me into the Four-Hand Massage – Once you've experienced a two-therapist, four-hand massage-you'll remember it, possibly forever. Beyond the sheer nirvana of one therapist caressing your head, the other your feet~ and then, in perfect unison, your entire body~ there's the bonus of total and absolute relaxation, of time and place forgotten.

For the Indulgent Body Treatments I selected the Volcanic Clay Body Ritual – This detoxifying treatment begins with an aromatic sea salt body scrub in the old world tradition. This will make your skin more receptive to a purifying botanical mask with Volcanic Clay and wild crafted essential oils. While you are wrapped, enjoy a soothing scalp massage followed by a warm relaxing shower to remove this revitalizing mud. You will then receive a moisturizing application of Rosemary lotion. This treatment is designed to detoxify, revitalize and tighten the skin.

When Tammy came back in the room I told her the treatments I wanted. When she asked that I followed her back to begin I turned to Carlos. "Where are you going to be? I will be back there for a few hours are you just going to wait for me?" He smiled "Babe I will be here for the most part but I do have to run a quick errand. I promise you when you are done I will be right here waiting for you." I smiled at the thought of him waiting for me. "Okay I love you, and thank you for this you make me feel wonderful." He smiled and responded "I love you Babe." "Love you too Batman."

With our goodbyes said I followed Tammy back for what was going to be an afternoon of relaxation.
