‘Oh god’ It was all becoming clear to her and she needed answers.

Her thoughts were interrupted when he once again reached for her hands.

“So are you seeing anyone?”

“Have you ever been in love before?” The blonde in her arms asked nuzzling further into her neck. Ashley had never felt so at peace in her life just laying there with Spencer curled up against her.

“I thought I was but it was never like this.” Happy with her answer Spencer pushed impossibly closer into her embrace.

They had actually managed to wait a whole four days, after the night that Ashley had showed up at Spencer’s new apartment revealing her long guarded feelings for the blonde, before sleeping together.

 Now they relaxed in the afterglow.  Ashley couldn’t help but run her hand up the smooth plain of Spencer’s back.

“Don’t start that again.” Spencer said in a stern voice, but Ashley could detect the hint of a smile in her voice. Ashley just couldn’t seem to keep her hands to herself for more then a few moment.

“But why?” she said teasingly running her hand up Spencer’s thigh. Spencer moaned as her hand went up higher. Ashley could see her relaxing into her touch. God she loved this woman. If Spencer ever realized that she could do far better it would destroy her. But while Spencer still whispered that she loved her she would try to earn that love every single day.

“Ashley are you okay? Baby, your crying.” Spencer’s concerned voice pulled her from her thoughts and she was suddenly aware that her hand had stopped and she was staring at Spencer with tear filled eyes.

Ashley rolled pulling Spencer’s body completely under her own staring down at her she lightly brushed the hair from Spencer’s face.  She was trying to figure out a way to tell Spencer how badly she wanted to keep her safe and love forever, but she wasn’t very good at explaining her feelings. She never had anyone in her life show her how to be.

She finally said the one thought she could clear through her chaos.

“I’d give up the world to protect you Spencer.”
