Chapter 24: Rest and Relaxation
Friday Morning
"Spencer! You ready!?" Ashley calls out as she swings her backpack onto her back, the bags and her guitar already packed in the jeep.
"I'm ready. I'll be down in a minute!" Spencer calls back.
A few minutes later, Spencer comes bounding down the stairs, her own backpack swung over her shoulder.
"I'm ready!" Ashley smiles at the blonde girls excitement. She walks over and leans in, placing a quick kiss to Spencer's lips.
"Alright. Let's get going then. We got a bit of a drive ahead of us" Spencer smiles and nods, following the brunette out to the jeep parked in the driveway. Ashley takes Spencer's backpack, fixing everything into the trunk before joining the blonde in the jeep. Fishing the keys out of her pocket, Ashley starts up the jeep and pulls out of the driveway and onward to the cabin.
Hours later
Ashley pulls up into the driveway of the cabin and parks, shutting off the jeep.
"Spence? Spencer. We're here babe." She says softly, gently shaking Spencer awake. Spencer shifts in her seat, slowly blinking her eyes open as she wakes up.
"Hmm?" the blonde hums out sleepily. Ashley chuckles at the girl.
"We're here. Let's get inside. I can start a fire and get us hot chocolate. We can spend the rest of the day relaxing sitting in front of the fireplace before starting fresh tomorrow. How does that sound?" Ashley asks the sleepy girl. Spencer sits up in her seat, more awake and alert. She smiles at her girlfriend and nods.
"That sounds great Ash." Ashley smiles back at the girl before moving and getting out of the jeep, walking around back to grab both bags and strapping her guitar onto her back. Spencer grabs the two backpacks. Closing the trunk Ashley starts her way up the walkway, Spencer following behind.
"Ash, I can get my bag. You don't have to carry it." Spencer tells the girl, reaching for her bag. Ashley moves out of the blondes reach, throwing a grin over her shoulder at the exasperated sigh she gets.
"This getaway is about you babe. So get used to being spoiled." Spencer rolls her eyes good natured as she follows behind her girlfriend up to the cabin. Turning her attention to the cabin itself, Spencer's eyes open wide in surprise and a small gasp escapes her at the sight. If you ask her to describe it, the cabin looks like something from a post card. The cabin itself is huge with the towering snow covered mountains making it look surreal. Sitting on the porch is a swinging bench with a small table sitting to the side. Spencer can just make out a set of stairs that looks like it leads up to a balcony that is wrapped around the whole back of the cabin. Ashley stops by the steps leading up to the door, a soft smile crossing her face as she watches her girlfriend admire the scenery.
"Wow, it's so beautiful out here. And the cabin is so big." Spencer breaths out, the awe in her voice making Ashley smile wider.
"I'm glad you like it. I was a little worried it would be a bit much. Wait til you see outback. It's definitely a rare sight to see." Ashley explains as she walks up the steps and sets both bags down, digging into her pocket for the keys. Finding the keys, Ashley opens the door and walks through, bags in hand and setting them down by the front door with Spencer following close behind. Ashley turns to the blonde and grabs her hand.
"Come on, you gotta see this and then I'll give you the five cent tour." Spencer laughs, the shared excitement between the two banishing away all the negativity from the past few months. Leading Spencer through the spacious living room to the balcony, Ashley leads her through the sliding doors and outside onto the balcony.
Spencer's POV
Goodness it's so beautiful out here. The mountains are covered in snow and they look kind of majestic. If I look hard enough I swear I can see tracks from some kind of animal. It's like winter wonderland. The crisp, cold air and the sound of quiet nature are calming. This is everything I didn't know I needed. I turn to look at Ashley and see the excited and hopeful smile on her face as she waits for me to say something. I grin at her.
"It's beautiful out here. Really breathtaking and calming." She grins back and sits down in one of the huge lounge chairs, holding out a hand and motioning me closer. I move closer and take her offered hand, letting out a small squeak of surprise as she pulls me down to sit on her lap. Ashley laughs as she wraps her arms around my waist, hands resting on my stomach and I sigh in contentment as I relax against her front. We sit in comfortable silence as we take in everything around us. After a little while of sitting, I feel Ashley's hold on me go slack, soft snores coming from her and I smile softly. I shift slowly in her arms so I can look at her face. She looks so peaceful. I wince a little, knowing I have to wake her up but if we stay out here we'll both start to freeze.
"Ashley? Baby? I'm sorry to wake you but we should go inside so you can sleep. I can start the fire." I whisper softly, trailing a finger softly along her cheek to wake her. She startles a little and looks at me with tired eyes.
"Did I fall asleep on you? I'm sorry. I'm not a very good host am I?" she mumbles sleepily, rubbing at her tired eyes. I shake my head at her, leaning forward and pressing a loving kiss to her lips.
"Don't apologize. Come on, lets get inside and I'll start the fire." Ashley just nods without protest, showing me just how exhausted she must be. I get up from my spot offering my hand with a smile. I get a tired smile in response as Ashley takes my hand and I pull her up from the chair, leading her back inside.
"Do you have wood stored somewhere?" I question as I look over at my girlfriend. Ashley nods and points over to a decent sized chest sitting near the fireplace.
"In there. There should be matches and stuff in there too. I'll be back. I'm gonna head down the hallway over there and grab us some blankets and pillows from the closet. Oh, and the bathroom is down there, the second door to your left." Ashley explains and I nod in understanding.
"Okay, I'll get this fire going and then you, my love, are going to get some sleep." Ashley nods a bit sheepishly before heading in the direction of the closet. I walk over to the chest and fireplace to get a fire going.
10 minutes later
Spencer gets the fire going with Ashley coming back from her second trip down the hall, her arms full of blankets. Spencer laughs and walks over to help. They pile the blankets up with the pillows, setting one blanket aside to cover up with.
"Do you want to change into more comfortable clothes first?" Spencer asks as she walks over to where their bags were left near the front door.
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea." Ashley says as she follows behind Spencer. Spencer kicks off her boots and hangs up her jacket with Ashley doing the same. A smile crosses Spencer's face as she feels Ashley's arms wrap around her waist. The blonde girl hums softly as Ashely buries her face into her girlfriends' neck, a shiver running through the blonde at the feel of her lips brushing against her pulse point. Ashley chuckles at that getting distracted. Exhaustion forgotten, she starts to pepper soft, teasing kisses along Spencer's neck. Spencer bites her lip, letting out a breathy sigh and eyes closing at the sensation. Ashley spends the next few minutes showering Spencer's neck with teasing kissing, smiling at the moan she gets when she nips gently at the girls' pulse point.
Ashley pulls away and Spencer turns around in the brunettes arms, panting lightly as she looks into the now charcoal colored eyes staring back at her. Seeing the want and desire and more importantly the love in the eyes of her love, Spencer feels a rush of heat settle between her legs.
"Make love to me." The request is almost a plea and Ashley nearly goes weak in the knees at the look of pure want and love in the dark blue eyes now looking at her.
"Are you sure?" Spencer just nods, not trusting her voice. Ashley studies her girlfriend intently for a moment before pulling her closer, cupping her face and pulling her into the most passionate, loving kiss the two have ever shared. Spencer lets out a moan as Ashley nips at her bottom lip. Spencer's arms move to wrap around Ashley's neck as Ashley runs her hands down the blondes arms, down her sides slowly to rest at her hips, pulling her love flush against her. Ashley trails her tongue along Spencer's bottom lip asking for entrance to which Spencer gladly grants, both girls moaning softly at the feel, fighting for dominance. Ashley wins the battle as she takes time to explore the girls mouth, deepening the kiss as her hands slide down to cup the blondes ass, giving it a firm squeeze.
Spencer pulls away from the kiss after a few moments, doing her best to catch her breath before another groan escapes her as Ashley attacks her pulse point. Spencer cries out in pleasure as Ashley finds her weak spot, sucking and nipping at it firmly. Ashley grins at the beautiful sound, pulling away and leading Spencer over to their fluffy makeshift bed of blankets and pillows. Ashley reaches her hands up to finger the long shirt Spencer is wearing.
"Clothes. Off. Now." She growls, voice huskier than usual. Spencer feels another rush of wetness pool between her legs at the command, Ashley's husky voice sending a pleasant shiver through her body. Spencer pulls away, dark blue eyes locking with charcoal as she slowly pulls off her shirt and jeans off, stripping down to just her underwear and bra. Suddenly feeling shy, Spencer ducks her head. Ashley steps forward, worry crossing her face. She reaches up and cups the girls face gently.
"Spence? What's wrong? Do you wanna stop? We can. You know I'd never push you." Ashley says, concern coloring her voice. Spencer bites her lip nervously, leaning into the touch.
"It's not that. I want to keep going. I just.. I've.. never.." Spencer trails off, blushing a little in embarrassment. Ashley's brow furrows in confusion as she tries to understand what Spencer is trying to tell her.
"Babe?" Ashley prompts gently. Spencer lets out a deep breath.
"I've never.. done this before. I'm scared I'll disappoint you." She mumbles quietly. Ashley's eyes widen in surprise.
"Wait so in your last.. you never.. You're a virgin." Ashley questions in surprise. Spencer winces a little as she nods, face flushing again in embarrassment. 'God this is so embarrassing. She's gonna want nothing to do with me now. I'm a virgin with no experience whatsoever. I could never please her the way she needs.'
Sensing Spencer's embarrassment, Ashley hums a little as she tilts Spencer's head up to look at her.
"Hey. You don't need to be embarrassed and you don't need to be scared. I promise you, I'll take care of you. At any point you want to stop just say the word. Everything else will come naturally. Trust me. I'm honored that I'll be your first. I just hope I can make it special for you." Spencer smiles, relaxing into Ashley's touch.
"This right here with you is special. Look at where you brought me. I couldn't think of a place more beautiful and special. And I trust you." Spencer reassures softly, a coy smile now crossing her face. Gathering courage from the desire and love burning in her girlfriends eyes, Spencer guides Ashley to sit down on the couch.
"Now, enough of all that. I believe we were right about.. here." Reaching to grab Ashley's hands, Spencer places them to the clasp of her bra, eyes staring intently into Ashley's.
Spencer's POV
I don't know where this surge of courage comes from but I roll with it. I know there's nothing to be nervous about if the look in Ashley's eyes is anything to go by. I know she'd never hurt me and will stop if I need her to. I see hesitation flash through her eyes and it occurs to me that she's nervous. I lean forward and capture her lips in a soft, reassuring kiss.
"It's okay, Ash. I trust you." I whisper against her lips. I feel Ashley smile as she kisses me gently but passionately, unclasping my bra and pulling it away slowly. She takes a moment to look at me and I relax under her gaze.
"You're so beautiful." I can't help the blush that comes over me at her softly spoken words. She stands suddenly and I gasp in surprise, wrapping my legs around her waist as she does so. She lays me down on the mountain of blankets before sitting up on her knees beside me. She looks nervous, playing with the hem of her shirt and I tilt my head at her curiously.
"Ash? Baby, what's wrong?" She doesn't say anything at first and my brows furrow as I study her. And then I see it. She's scared. Why on earth would she be scared? She knows I trust her. That can't be it. It must be something el.. Oh. My eyes widen as I realize why she's scared and I sit up, pulling her hands into mine. I tilt her head up to look at me.
"Don't be scared. You are beautiful. Every inch of you. Inside and out. I've seen all of you baby. Remember that. You are beautiful. You could never be disgusting in my eyes. I know that's what you're thinking so stop that." I whisper softly, putting emphasis on the last of it. Her eyes fill with tears and my heart breaks a little. I reach forward, taking the hem of her shirt, eyes not leaving hers.
"Do you trust me?" She looks confused at the question.
"Of course I trust you Spence. Why wouldn't I?" I smile at her as I tug at her shirt.
"May I?" She swallows hard but nods her head. I slowly lift the shirt off her, taking the bra with it, the smile never leaving my face. I know what lies underneath and no matter the scars, they are a part of her and she could not have been more beautiful to me than she is right now. I reach out and trail a soft finger along the scar at her chest, my heart aching in remembrance as to how it got there. She must see the look on my face because she moves my hand to rest right over her heart. It's beating wildly and my breath hitches. We look at each other for a long moment and before I know it, her lips are on mine and I'm lying down once again. She doesn't stay for long and soon she's slowly kissing down my neck to my chest. Every touch of her lips on my skin sets me on fire and I can't help the small moans that escape at every touch. Her kisses move to the top of my breasts and I catch her desire filled eyes as she slowly takes a nipple into her mouth. I arch into the touch, my hands resting at the back of her head.
God, I never imagined it could feel this good. And she's so gentle it fills my heart with so much warmth and love. She flicks and sucks lightly at my nipple and I moan out loud, wanting her to know just how she's making me feel. The feeling of her body against mine makes me gasp, a pleasant shiver running through my body. I can feel a wetness pooling between my legs as she pays the same attention to my left nipple as she did my right. She soon lets go with a soft pop, her hot breath on my skin sending tingles all over my body. She kisses her way back up my body to my lips and gives me the sweetest most loving kiss I have ever experienced.
"I love you.." She whispers it so softly, so full of emotion that I almost don't hear her. I just kiss her passionately, soft and loving hoping to convey just how much I love her. The feeling of our bodies moving together is incredible and sets my entire body on fire. She kisses back down my body, soft teasing kisses as her fingers play with the hardened buds. I feel her tongue circle my bellybutton and I giggle. She doesn't stay long and continues down, kissing and nipping softly along the waistband of my panties. I squirm a little, eyes squeezing shut in anticipation, my body burning with need. I can feel my heart beating wildly in my chest and when she doesn't continue on I open my eyes to look at her. She's looking up at me and the look in her eyes nearly makes my heart stop. The desire and want and love are nearly pouring out of her and another pleasant shiver runs through my body at the look.
"Don't stop baby.. It's okay." She takes that as a green light and gently and very slowly pulls my underwear off. She tosses it somewhere in the room and takes her time to look at my body. All the nervousness I had before all this is gone.
"I want you so badly Spence.. I need to taste you." I moan at that and nod.
"I'm all yours Ash, please. I.. I need you." I hear Ashley groan before she takes my right leg and gently lays it over her shoulder, settling between my legs. Starting at my ankle, she trails her lips lightly up my leg and to my inner thigh, stopping just short of where I need her to be before doing the same to my left. I'm squirm and moan beneath her, one hand grabbing the blanket beneath me and the other moving to the back of her head as I arch up into her lips.
"I love you." I feel her say it against my skin more than hear before I feel her wet tongue slowly lick through my slit.
"Ohh.. oh God Ashley.." My back arches up off the blankets, the pleasure coursing through my body nothing I've ever felt before. She repeats the action and I moan again because good God this feels amazing. I feel her groan vibrate through my body. I nearly scream out, throwing my head back as she wraps her lips around my clit, the tip of her tongue flicking gently. She starts off slow before picking up the pace, keeping it steady. I feel her fingers run through my center, teasing my entrance and my hips start to rock into her touch.
"Fuck you're so wet." Her words make me groan. It's all her. She's the only reason why.
"It's all for you. You make me this way." I gasp out. I look down and stare into the dark eyes of my love. The look in her eyes turns predatory and it sends a thrill of excitement and anticipation throughout my body. She shifts her body to better settle between my legs as she continues to tease me and I don't know how much more I can take.
"Baby.. please.." I feel her ease a single finger inside me and my eyes close as I moan at the feeling of her inside me. She pushes in slowly, stopping once she's completely inside to give me time to adjust. It doesn't take me long before my body starts to rock against her hand, gasping at the feeling of her moving inside me.
"You okay?" I barely hear her question through the haze of pleasure I'm feeling.
"God yes. Please.. don't stop."
Ashley starts a slow in and out rhythm, her tongue flicking almost lazily against my clit. My body moves in sync with her actions, building me up slowly. My muscles start to tighten and suddenly I'm screaming out Ashley's name, gripping the back of her head in pure pleasure as she speeds up her thrusts suddenly, reaching deep inside me each time as she sucks firmly on my clit. Before I can come down completely, Ashley replaces her finger with her tongue and a whole new feeling of pleasure washes over me. I grip the blankets, body rocking into Ashley's mouth.
"Yess baby..Ashley.. I'm.. I..." I don't get to finish my sentence as I'm pushed over the edge again, stars coloring my vision. She helps me ride it out and I moan softly at her tongue lapping gently at my center. It takes a few minutes to come down from my high, breathing heavily as I try and catch my breath. Ashley drops a soft, loving kiss to my clit before kissing her way up my body. She reaches my lips and kisses me softly and I sigh contently as her lips touch mine. I thought it'd be weird to taste myself but it's actually not. After a moment, Ashley pulls away just enough to look down at me.
"Was that okay?" Her voice is soft when she asks and the look in her eyes makes me tear up. Love. Pure, unconditional love is all that I see. Between what just happened and that look in her eyes has tears slowly working its way down my face. I see panic cross her face and I quickly reach up and cup her face gently to reassure her.
"It was more than okay. Don't worry. These are happy tears. God, I love you so much." I smile at her through my tears and my heart swells with love as she smiles a beautiful smile.
"I love you too Spencer. With all my heart and soul.." She trails off, her brows furrowing in thought. I give her a moment, trailing my fingers up along her arms around to her back. My eyes close as she stays quiet in thought, sleepy and content.
"Marry me?"
My hands freeze on her back, eyes snapping open and widening at the question that cuts through the silence. Not sure I heard her right, I look at her intently.
"What.. did you say?" She sits up, the serious look on her face doesn't falter and my breath catches in my throat as she goes to speak again.
"I know it sounds sudden. And this is probably the least romantic way to ask you. But after everything we've been through, I don't want to waste another minute of not being able to call you mine forever. I know we never really talked about it. But you're it for me Spencer. You are my one. My angel. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I'd find love, let alone find someone who would want to be with me and know me. The real me. And then I met you and everything in my life changed. You make me a better person. You've shown me love in the purest sense. You've shown me that I can love and be loved. You.. saved me Spence. From the world. From myself. Before you came into my life, I was spiraling and I'm confident to say that I would not still be here had you not come into my life when you did. You are the best part of me. The greatest thing in my life. And I've never been more grateful than to have you by my side. So, Spencer Carlin, will you marry me?"
The tears I had before are nothing to right now as I listen as Ashley pours her heart out to me. I never thought she'd actually ask me to marry her. At least not this soon. For a moment I can't speak and slowly I see the serious look turn to panic mixed with a deep hurt. She starts to get up and I pull her back down into my arms. I know my answer.
"Yes. God, yes. I love you. I love you so so much." I breath out and the smile I get is something I'll always remember. It's beautiful and bright and its pure happiness and I've never felt more lucky than I do right now.
The two girls spend the rest of their day indoors, making love and just enjoying each others presence, looking forward to the unknown future that's ahead of them.
