Chapter 6

I woke on 7 feeling on top of the world. Mostly because I awoke on top of Ranger.

"Howdy." I said, sitting up a little.

He grinned at me. "Yo Babe."

"You know, I like waking up with you."

Ranger nodded. "me too. Move in." He suggested.

"To 7?"

Ranger shrugged. "Or the Batcave."

My eyes went wide. The Batcave. The actual freaking Batcave. YES! I bounced up and down a little in excitement. "Can we visit it today? I've got to see a place before I agree to move into it."

"Sure." Ranger agreed, "But if you don't stop bouncing on me like that it's going to be a while."

A flashed him what I hoped was a sexy smile "I'm in no hurry Soldier."

Ranger executed a flip manoeuvre that found me suddenly under a wall of hard muscles. I think he liked Soldier. More than Sex Bear anyway.

Ranger did everything thoroughly. Sex was no exception. He had skills, I wasn't so sure of my skill set but I had enthusiasm in bounds. And I was always up for trying new things, I was Wonder Woman after all.

It was definitely a good while later before we emerged. Ranger called down for breakfast while I showered. Then he joined me for the shower with a pair of handcuffs and the shower got dirty real fast.

Round 2 had left me with wobbly legs and a ravenous stomach. It was definitely time to feed the beast. I had been doing cardio on an empty stomach and everything.

Ella treated us to bagels, topped with smoked salmon and a poached egg. I could get used to this.

"Does the Batcave have an Ella?" I wondered aloud.

Ranger shook his head. "Not yet. But there is facility to move Ella."

I blinked, "Wouldn't she and Louis object to being uprooted from their flat?"

"We've discussed it." He finally said. "There's an annexe at the Batcave. A whole house for Ella and Louis. They could move in; help cook and clean." He paused before he finally said, "help out with kids."

My eyes were wide but I was smiling. "Kids? Does your love not come with a condom anymore?"

"We're not getting younger. If you want kids, I'm game."

"One day soon?" I asked. I was 34, and sometimes my biological clock ticked so loud I had to turn up godsmack to drown it out.

"Whenever you're ready." Ranger said calmly.

"What if I said today?"

Ranger smiled and took my hand, "Whenever Babe."

I blinked. "Not today. Or tomorrow. Lets enjoy us a bit first. Make sure we're steady first."

"Babe. We're rock solid. But yeah, let's have a few holidays just the two of us before we have to worry about mini you jumping off the roof."

It made me smile how well he knew me, even young me.

We finished up breakfast and headed off to the Batcave. I was beyond excited, bouncing up and down in his Porsche. He was happy and amused. He loved me.

Ranger pressed some buttons on the Porsche and switched off the vehicles tracking. He drove us to a very nice area of Trenton and he drove up to a gated house. He pushed in a keycode and the gate opened. The house was a huge white property, surrounded by at least an acre or so of land. Off to the left was a separate, smaller annexe house. The house had some attractive flowers growing up a trellis at the front of the house. Hard to imagine Ranger gardening. "I have a Gardener." Ranger confirmed with a smirk.

He parked the car in the pebble drive way and we made our way inside. The house was open and airy, decorated in light neutral tones. Everything in the house spoke of quality. The kitchen counter was marble, the sofa's were elegant and well made. Everything was immaculate. The bathrooms were all tiled in natural stone. It had been completed by an interior designer, no doubt. It was elegant and stunning. It would be messier if I lived there. I could picture myself living there.

Of course, there was a gym, a pool and a hot tub. Julie had a room which had never been used. There were three more guest rooms and Ranger's master suite, complete with dressing room and en suit bathroom. If I hadn't been sure, the dressing room would have sold it for me.

Finally the tour was over. "What do you think?" Ranger asked.

"It's amazing!"

He shrugged a little, "It's just a house, but with you in it…it would be a home. Will you move in with me here?"

I jumped into his arms, "Yes!"

He kissed me lightly, "It was the dressing room, right?"

I laughed a little. He knew me so well. "It's the man. I love you Ranger. Let's do this."

He smiled softly. "It's going to be good Babe."

I knew it was going to be.
