Running had undergone a pretty dramatic evolution over the course of Chloe Beale's lifetime.
She'd started as a child, in elementary school. She ran with her mom every morning before school. In middle school, she joined the track team. By the time she was in high school, she was a regional champion. But now, in college, she just used it to relax. Lately, even though Beca had been providing her with a really awesome source of relaxation, she had a lot on her mind and needed a little extra. Thus, out came her running shoes for the first time in a while.
She'd been out practically all day, and knew that if she didn't take a cold bath, she'd suffer the full effects tomorrow. So she stopped at the store on the way home for a bag of ice, poured it into a tub full of cold water, and hopped in.
Immediately, she felt a surge of numbness shoot throughout her entire body. No, it wasn't quite a numbness… There was an overwhelming, sharp, arousal shocking her body. Goosebumps covered her skin, and in that moment, she remembered exactly what it was about these ice baths that kept her coming back to them. They kinda turned her on.
It was how her body reacted to them. The goosebumps, the intense cold, the way her nipples hardened. On top of the ice bath itself, she'd just gone for a really long run, which had caused tons of endorphins to begin coursing through her body. It all got her going. Before she knew it, her legs were spread, her knees resting on either side of the bathtub, her hand snaking down to meet the ache that needed contact…
"Oh my god, I didn't know anyone was in here-"
Chloe scrambled to cover herself before she realized who had barged in on her.
"Beca?"
"Oh, fuck!" Beca breathed a sigh of relief, resting her arm on the doorframe to steady herself. "It's just you."
They both laughed in that way people do when something terribly uncomfortable has just been avoided.
There was nothing but silence for a moment.
"Are you bathing in ice water?"
"Yeah, I went for a run, I didn't wanna be sore-"
"…Were you touching yourself?"
Beca's hands were on her hips now, she narrowed her eyes, smiling devilishly. Chloe blushed.
"I don't- I… Well, I was just-"
Beca closed the door. Chloe heard a 'click' as the lock went closed, too.
"You totally were."
Chloe was silent, she glared at the tile floor while Beca walked over to the redhead, kneeling to lean against the side of the tub.
"Chloe, you don't need to do that anymore."
Chloe's lips parted, but she kept her eyes on the floor. She liked what she was hearing. Beca put her finger under the girl's chin, lifting her face up so they were making eye contact.
"That's what I'm here for."
All of a sudden, they were kissing. Hot and wet, and Chloe was in this ice-cold water, making out with Beca. The brunette's fingers were tangled in Chloe's wet hair.
Beca pulled out of the kiss, but kept her fingers in her hair, stroking her cheek with her thumb.
"What was it? What got you all hot and bothered?"
"Um," Chloe's blush deepened, she tucked a wet curl behind her ear.
"I was actually more cold and bothered…"
Beca narrowed her glance. Her blue eyes darted around the room, indicating that she was deep in thought. Suddenly, she focused back on Chloe's own eyes like she'd come to a conclusion.
"Does it turn you on to be in a cold bath?! You're such a weirdo." She smiled, pulling Chloe back into a particularly searing kiss. She bit down on the older girl's lower lip, whispering against her open mouth-
"That's so fucking hot."
Chloe kept kissing Beca, but her hands darted out of the ice water to hastily unbutton Beca's flannel. They paid no mind to how much water was getting all over the place- the only thing that mattered was getting Beca naked. When their goal was accomplished, Beca slipped into the water, hissing at the cold. But her discomfort disappeared as soon she straddled Chloe, grinding down into her lap while they kept kissing.
Chloe's fingers found Beca's hardening nipples, when suddenly, Chloe had a great idea. She picked up an ice cube, running it across the smooth flesh of Beca's breast, circling her nipple with it. Beca's jaw dropped, she took in a sharp breath and she threw her head back in pleasure. Chloe began to trail kisses down Beca's neck, down her collarbone, until she reached the brunette's other, goose-bumped breast. She sucked down hard on her nipple, while still circling the other with the ice.
The contrast in sensations caused Beca to cry out. Chloe wasted no time in slipping two fingers into Beca's slick heat, quickly working up a pace that caused Beca to pant.
"Fuck, Chloe-" Beca groaned, moving her hand down between Chloe's legs. She wanted them to feel good together, especially considering that she'd been the one interrupting Chloe's fun.
Chloe blurted out a gentle moan when she felt Beca enter her, and they soon found themselves working at one another's arousal at an identical speed. Beca's thumb was numb with the cold, but it still managed to find Chloe's swollen clit, massaging it gently. Chloe threw her head back, letting out a low groan as her climax began to build.
Beca nipped at her earlobe, causing a shiver to run through Chloe's whole body. She was on the edge.
"Come with me, baby." She whispered huskily into the shell of the redhead's ear.
They did. They both shuddered, the whole room was silent for a split second- but the silence was shattered by their cries of ecstasy. They both slumped down into the tub, Beca resting on Chloe's chest.
"Let's go snuggle." Chloe murmured, slipping her hands under Beca's armpits to help her stand. She wrapped a towel around the tiny brunette, and took her hand, pulling her into Beca's room.
Beca dropped her towel, pulling the comforter up so they could sleepily crawl in next to one another.
They spooned, Chloe holding tightly to Beca's small frame. She could feel her heart still pounding.
"Beca?"
"Mhm?"
Beca turned to face her best friend.
"I think I'm in love with you."
Beca's entire world stopped.
She'd been in love with Chloe since freshman year. She'd been waiting all of college to hear these words in that gentle, playful voice she loved so dearly. She pulled Chloe into a gentle kiss. When she pulled away, she looked deep into the redhead's eyes, and spoke.
"I know I'm in love with you."
