Glad you liked the continuation to what was supposed to be a oneshot. Based on how the story flowed, a little extra came to mind. This is a snippet in time after the events of chap 2. There will be one more snippet in time after, yet I left the story marked as complete since technically it is. Let me know your guess on what you think the twist for the next chap is.

Stephanie's POV

I was yanked from a very nice dream as the sheet was momentarily pulled back from my body. Snuggling against the mattress, I whined in protest as a whoosh of cold air hit my bare skin.

"Babe." Ranger's lips brushed against the shell of my ear as his hand snaked over my left hip. His broad bare chest pressed snugly against my equally bare back as he used his hold around my waist to pull me flush against him. A very hard part of his anatomy was poking my bottom insistently. Yum.

"Mmm." I couldn't contain my moan of appreciation as his lips nuzzled the side of my neck and his wandering hand closed over my left breast.

"Happy Anniversary, Babe." Ranger's sexy voice enveloped me in warmth just as his big body did to mine.

"Happy One Year Anniversary to me." I laughed huskily, parting my lips to accept his proding kiss. Leaning back against him, I threw my left leg back over his to give his talented fingers better access to my doodah.

"Babe." Ranger breathed his nickname for me against my already flushed skin, sending an electrifying feeling coursing through me. I'm pretty sure I was purring already.

Opening my eyes, I found that it was mostly dark out. Before I could try to twist around to face him, Ranger's big body guided mine forward so I could roll onto my stomach. Pressing me into the mattress, his hard body covered mine completely.

Ranger's powerful thighs bracketed me on either side of my hips, anticipation building nicely already. With his fingers stroking me teasingly, Ranger began his maddening seducing mission. Placing nipping kisses along the length of my spine, my wiggling movement had my ass brushing against his hardness.

Repeatedly.

"Stephanie." Ranger calling me by my given name never fails to set me ablaze, even more when we're already in bed.

My moan was rewarded by a nipping kiss on my left asscheek, over my scar.

"Yes!" I don't know if he asked me something, but I figured my loud moans would cover my bases fully. Fisting the sheet beneath me, I was torn between grinding against his hand or pushing back against his big, hard body. Thankfully for me, Batman gave me the best of both worlds. "Yes, yes, yes…"

"What's your schedule like today, Babe?" Ranger asked, the soft inquiry contrasted heavily by his erection nudging against my already slick opening from behind. "Hmmm?"

"Wha-oh!" I didn't get a chance to answer. One, because my brain is currently mush from sleepy grogginess and lust. And two, because he filled me in one quick thrust, pushing me up the bed an inch or so. How the hell does he expect me to think clearly right about now? "Huh?" I couldn't form a more coherent response once he started moving, picking up speed and hitting just the right spot.

"Babe." Ranger pressed his face against the side of my neck, his lips latching onto the sensitive skin of my neck as he kept building us up into a release that will be quite explosive.

"Uhm mmmm…" I was moaning, panting even, with full abandon and trying to meet his deep thrusts despite my limited range of motion. If his powerful hips keep moving this fast and hard, I'm going to break very, very soon.

"Schedule, Babe?" Ranger asked again, the force of his thrusts banging the headboard against the wall in rhythmic thumps. That's impressive considering our bed is made of heavy as hell wood that was…

"FTA…" I gasped, feeling the delicious beginnings of my orgasm coiling low in my belly. I can already savor it as I feel the twinges on my upper thighs, indicating this will be one hell of an explosive orgasm. "Morning… searches… noon… oh yeah…captures…" Because I didn't want him to stop, I mumbled whatever I could remember from my schedule.

"Babe." Ranger's smiling lips searched for mine in the near total darkness, kissing me with a lot of tongue just as he picked up the pace.

Pulling back after our kiss, Ranger extracted his hand from between my body and the mattress. I'm positive I heard him suck his fingers clean, luxuriating in the taste of my essence. In a previous point in my life, I'd be blushing profusely right about now, but not anymore. In fact, the feel of his wet fingers as my husband splayed his hand on my lower back told me I was correct in my assumption. To gain purchase, he placed his other hand on my pillow, next to my head, bracing himself to keep his full weight off of me as he upped the intensity in his moves, driving in and out of me relentlessly. Twin shuddering groans indicated that our joint detonation was within reach.

Within a handful of thrusts we were both engulfed in an intense orgasm, panting through our release. The rush of heat sent electrifying shocks through my body, leaving us a completely spent tangle of limbs once Ranger collapsed on top of me.

Breathing heavily, Ranger flipped our positions so that I could be on top and he wouldn't crush me under his super muscles. I felt too drained to do much aside from catching my breath and skimming my fingers across Ranger's well defined muscles in our post orgasmic haze.

"I need you back in the building by four." Was as much insight as Ranger was going to give me.

"I don't need a luxe anniversary celebration." I reminded my husband that all I need is him. Dinner on seven with him would be more than enough for me. Fancy, schmancy isn't needed.

"Indulge me, Babe." With his fingers tangled in my mass of curls, Ranger placed a kiss on my lips that left me feeling boneless and more than ready for another explosive round.

"Four it is, Sir!" Smiling, I snuck in another scorching kiss before Ranger and I had to get up to tackle the day.

"Smartass." With a half grin, Ranger reinforced his observation by delivering two solid smacks to my ass. Progressing to soothe the light sting, my husband closed his big hands over my ass. Kneading my flesh, Ranger was unable to help himself and kissed the top of my head in that loving way of his while his hands were busy squeezing my butt.

Our joint shower included a quickie, requiring a second round of cleansing.

"If your ultra top secret surprise includes cake…" I murmured in Ranger's ear, leaning closer to make sure my bare breasts brushed against his bare back as he readied to shave. "… make sure it's got extra frosting." Laughing huskily, I shared that I had a mini surprise of my own. I may or may not have suggested that a certain part of his anatomy would be my canvas. And, yes, I'll be licking his full length clean after my amateur finger painting skills.

"Babe." Ranger groaned low in his throat, the towel around his waist immediately tenting in response to the mental visuals I embedded in his sharp mind.

"See you at four, Babe." I pressed my lips to his muscular back, right between his shoulder blades, and then blew him a smooch through the mirror for good measure, before snagging my towel so I could make a beeline out of the en suite.

Two can play, Batman.

We dressed for the day and parted ways on the fifth floor. Despite Ranger needing to be in the underground garage to meet Tank before their meeting with a certain three letter government agency, my husband walked me to my cubicle. I found the gesture to be super sweet, making me feel like he was walking me to class as if we were teenagers. Even though it's not necessary inside the building, Ranger always strives to make sure I'm safe. Some would think he's being controlling, but I know better. After everything we've been through, knowing the other is safe and sound is a vital necessity.

With a mostly chaste kiss, Ranger left for his important meeting while I dedicated my morning to running searches for our new high bond FTAs.

"I saw that." I said to Ram and Lester once Ranger was fully gone from earshot. From the corner of my eye I saw as they popped their heads over their cubbie walls, making kissy faces while I shared a kiss with my husband. "Jealousy does not look good on you guys." I teased, knowing that would get them to sober up and would simultaneously earn me some back-up from the other guys.

"Yeah, man." Cal piped in, his expression serious as he said that Ranger's our boss and it was super weird for them to want to kiss him.

Good one, Cal!

I burst out laughing, along with Zip and Woody, at the bright red tinting of Ram and Lester's faces as their horrified expression replaced the exaggerated kissy one.

"Nah, nah, nah." Ram shook his head vigorously, making a point to share that no one in the building aside from me wants, and most importantly gets, to kiss Ranger.

"Good." I declared.

"Yeah, Bomber doesn't like to share the Boss." Woody teased me goodnaturedly.

Shrugging my shoulder, I nodded. It's true. I don't want to share my husband, not after all the obstacles we overcame along the way.

"Don't look at her man with googly eyes or Bosswoman Bomber's gonna rip your balls off after she knees them up your throat." Slick added his two cents before he left for his patrol shift.

That got the men to sober up, grimacing at the mere thought of losing their favorite appendage.

"Turnabout is fair play." Smiling wide, I reminded the guys that it'll be my turn to pick on them while they're sucking face with their special someone in the near future.

Most of the guys in the room chuckled as they returned to their post, except one: Lester.

Interesting. Very, very interesting.

As soon as I initiated my first search of the day, I immediately marked myself as unavailable on the calendar after four today. And just to be on the safe side, I marked myself offline for all day tomorrow. If this morning's steamy wake up call is any indication of what's to come tonight, well aside form us, hehe, I'll probably be in no shape to even attempt to show up for a shift.

Just before lunchtime, Ella pulled me aside to confirm that my special order had indeed arrived on time. I thanked my partner in crime, making the mental reminder to swing by Ella's apartment on six to pick up my new lingerie set before making my way up to seven. My hubs isn't the only one with surprises.

"Ready, Beautiful?" Lester asked, minutes before our scheduled capture time.

"Yes." I tweaked today's schedule a bit so that my partner of the day, Lester, and I could have enough time to capture at least two high medium bonds and one low bond before my early end time.

"Let's go then." Rubbing his hands together, Les told me that if we hurried, we could squeeze in a bite to eat between our FTAs. "I'm craving tacos from the spot on Broad." Urging me to get a move on it, I stood and clipped my utility belt on our way towards the elevator.

"You've had quite the appetite lately." Chuckling, I told Lester I was in. Tacos sound good for lunch. "That ramen spot we went to last week was freaking good, so yeah, I'm totally up for having more yummy food."

"I'm a growing boy." Lester joked, flashing me his patented flirty smile just as we got ready to unload on the underground garage. "Let's go!"

Shaking my head, laughing at his antics even, I couldn't have known then that I wasn't going to make it back in time for my sexy celebration with my husband. Lester's enthusiasm enveloped us in a false sense of security. Our time out of the building would end up being one for the books.
