I do not own anything from JE. This is my first Lester fic. I love Lester a lot he's my face Merry Man but I'll always Love Ranger first lol.
Standing in a small hand built cabin, Stephanie pulled back the Curtin again and looked out at the accumulating snow. Seeing the landscape disappearing in a blanket of white she huffed out a breath and let the Curtin fall back in place.
"Still snowing I presume?"
"YES! He knew there were storm warnings out all week for today, yet he made us come up here anyways" Steph said shoving her hands into her jeans pockets to keep warm in the non heated cabin
"Wellll technically he sent YOU, I just happened to tick him off as you were leaving"
"Learned your lesson?" She asked turning to look at the man in black standing behind her
"NO"
"Steph watched as a smirk spread across Lester's face. He was right; he wouldn't ever stop ticking Ranger off. As she was leaving Ranger grabbed her as she made her way to her car to go on her mission he was sending her on and kissed her. Lester coming back from patrol just happened to see it and just couldn't stop himself from commenting that he bet he could kiss better. Ranger glaring at him sent him with Stephanie to the remote cabin in the Poconos.
"Why on earth does Ranger have us here looking after this cabin anyways?" She asked looking around it
"This cabin belongs to one of RangeMans wealthiest clients"
"Ok, well its safe now let's go"
"Uhhh Steph in case you've forgotten there is now two feet of snow and two more falling as we speak" Lester told her and watched as her eyes widened
"I am NOT going to be stuck here for God knows how long in this little cabin with no heat" she said opening the door letting the brutal wind blow thru the cabin
"Umm Steph" Lester tried to say as he watched her stomp out and slam the door behind her
Shaking his head Lester sat down onto the couch and stretched his long legs out and propped them onto a heavily carved wooden coffee table. Stretching his body out he placed his hands behind his head clasping his fingers together, He waited with his eyes closed knowing that Steph would soon be back in. Ten minutes later a very wet and pissed off Stephanie stalked back into the cabin.
"Well?" He asked a small smile spreading across his face
"SHUT UP" she said pulling her cell out of her soaked pocket and then letting out a curse seeing there was no reception there.
"Steph we're in a remote section of the Poconos there's no cell reception up here" Lester said stretching himself out further
"We gotta get out of here" She said Lester hearing the notes of panic on her voice
"Steph I'm sorry but we aint going anywhere anytime soon. But hey it's not so bad we have this beautiful little cabin and well me" he said smiling
"Don't flatter yourself Santos" She said shivering wrapping her arms around herself
"No seriously Steph there's nothing to be scared of I'm here"
Lester looked over and saw Steph shaking. He knew from years of training that if she didn't get out of those wet clothes she would start to freeze and then she would succumb to hypothermia. Getting up from the couch he went up to her. Placing a hand to her red cheek Stephs head snapped up to look at him.
"What are you doing?" She demanded as fear swept thru her and something else as her eyes locked onto Lester's
Lester studied her for a minute before he spoke. He had saw the emotions that had played across her face and was trying to figure out why she all the sudden was so jumpy around him. Shrugging it off he swept his thumb across her cheek feeling how cold her skin was.
"You're cold and wet" he told her
"No Duh!" she said trying to get herself under control by using sarcasm " you would be too if you went out in the freezing cold and snow, trying to dig out a huge SUV so you could leave" she said moving Lester's hand from her face
"Steph what did you dig with? We didn't have any shovels or anything" he asked knowing they didn't carry stuff unless they knew before hand what the job would entail
"My hands"
Lester stared at her for a second and then looked down at her hands that were by her sides. He took her hands in his and brought them up to look at them. They were bright red and very chapped. Seeing them he knew he had to get her dry and warm. Taking her hand he dragged her more into the cabin away from the drafty door and windows. Reaching the zipper on her coat he unzipped her and began to tug at the shirt she had on. Jumping away from him Steph glared at him.
"What do you think you're doing?" she asked
"Trying to get you out of those clothes"
"God you son of a bitch, just because we're all alone Lester and I think your attractive and we're stuck here in this God forsaken place doesn't give you the right to make moves on me and try to get in my pants. Is getting into women's pants all you ever think of?" Steph ranted not realizing she let a little tidbit of information slip
Lester stood with his hands on his hips watching Steph flail her arms and hands as she went on ranting about being a player and only wanting one thing. She was pacing back and forth and back and forth going on and on and on.
"STEPHANIE" he yelled finally making her stop
"You HAVE to get your clothes off" he told her
"And whys that hmmmmm?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest
"Because you're standing there shaking like a leaf and you're wet" he told her and she stopped and thought
"I'm fine"
"Steph don't be stupid. Your wet and cold, you need to get the clothes off so they can dry. If you get sick Ranger will kill me. I'm not a doctor Steph that's Bobby I wouldn't know what to do if you do" he told her walking up to her placing his hand back to her face warming her cold skin with his touch
"There's no privacy to change, even the bathroom is only a toilet in the floor" she told him pointing to it behind him
"I've seen women before"
"I'm sure you have" she said giving him an all knowing look
"Steph come on"
"All right turn around" she told him
Lester waited what seemed like forever. He knew what it sounded like when you fiddled with clothes and he wasn't hearing any sounds of rustling. Waiting some more and hearing nothing he started tapping his boot on the floor. Waiting another minute he finally asked if she was done.
"No" she said
"Why not? What have you been doing all this time?" he asked
"I have a problem" she said and he turned around to see her still in her wet clothes
"A problem?"
"Yes a problem. I don't have anything to change into" she told him
"Oh"
Lester looked around the cabin. He spotted a dresser that sat next to the bed; going over to it he opened each drawer finding it was empty. Placing his hands on his hips he was trying to figure out something to help Stephanie. Looking over at her he saw she was shaking more and that her mouth now was quivery uncontrollably. He knew he had to do something and fast.
"Les I'm so cccold" she told him her teeth knocking together making a chattering sound
"I know love I'm trying please bear with me" he said running to a closet, opening the door to find only a couple of blankets inside
Tossing the blankets onto the couch, Lester came back to Steph. Looking her over and seeing her shake he unzipped his RangeMan issued coat. Steph watched as he tossed the coat onto a nearby chair and took off his black RangeMan t-shirt that he had over a black long-sleeved turtle neck.
"Here steph this will be big on you but at least it will be dry" he said holding the shirt out for her to take
Not knowing why but tears came to her eyes as she accepted Lester's shirt and held it to her chest. He told her that it was ok and not to cry, just take off her wet clothes and put his shirt on. Turning back around he heard Steph unzip a zipper he figured on her jeans and knew this time she was taking her clothes off.
"ut oh" he heard Steph say and without thinking Lester turned around to see what was wrong
"What?" he asked her as she stood there in a dark blue lace bra and matching thong
"LESTER"
"SORRY" he said "what's the ut oh? He asked as she quickly covers herself with his shirt
"ummm my underwear is wet too" she said her pink cheeks growing darker
"Take em off" Lester said smirking at her
Steph narrowed her eyes at him and Lester's grin widened. He turned back around to allow her to do so and told her that it wouldn't do her any good to put a dry shirt over wet undies.
"It'll only make the shirt wet Steph" he told her
"All right fine"
Lester closed his eyes and recalled the image of the nearly naked Stephanie standing in front of him just a few seconds ago. He always thought she was hot but to actually SEE see her was a total shock to the system, and she was going to be naked wearing just his shirt.
"Down Les she's Rangers" he said hoping to tame his growing erection before Steph was finished and thinking of his Boss would surly do the trick.
