Previously on Bringing it Home

'Well this is cosy,' the yet unknown brunette growled as she scowled at me. She was a fucking fox! Her green eyes bored into mine but I refused to look away.

'Ashley, this is Addison,' Spencer began the introductions. 'Addy, Ashley.'

'I know who you are,' she growled in response. I exchanged a look with Spencer and we both smiled at her choice of words. The smile wasn't missed and the scowl deepened. 'Seriously Spencer, what's she doing here?' Spencer frowned and I notice her intertwine her fingers with Addison's where their hands lay on the table.

"Ash?" Austin was waiting for me to reply.

"Yeah?"

"She likes you, what are you going to do about it?" I couldn't answer my friend. I still didn't have an answer.

Our conversation had been interrupted by Annie's return. The rest of the afternoon had been lazy, the other girls had been in and out of the pool but my little 'show' had been my only foray into the water. Instead I'd done what I did best these days, watched from the sidelines. Spencer and Addison had been inseparable, I needed more info on that situation because I still couldn't work out what the hell was going on. They were sexually intimate, exchanging touches and kisses all afternoon, much to my disgust. The only obvious conclusion was they were having an affair behind Addison's girlfriend's back. It was not exactly a secret if everybody here knew, I just couldn't figure it out at all, it didn't seem to bother any of the girls.

After a while I decided I'd baked enough and went for a quick swim before heading inside. I had some chords in my head I wanted to run through on my guitar. I was doing a few laps when the volleyball smacked me on the head, sending me under. There was only one girl cocky enough to do that. Sure enough, as I surfaced I saw Austin practically rolling with laughter. Right! I powered to the edge of the pool nearest the culprit and vaulted out of the water. As I stalked towards her she quickly changed her tune.

"No!" She shrieked, "Ashley, don't," the red head pleaded, holding her arms out to ward me off.

"Austin, I warned you." I growled as I loomed over where she was sitting. "That's twice you've pissed me off today. Time for pay-back bitch!"

Ashley was wet again and so was I. Dripping in fact as I watched her stalk Austin.

"Ashley, no!" Austin scrambled away from her friend and made a dash for safety. Much like she had done earlier, Ashley sprang into action and chased her down. She quickly caught up and succeeded in grabbing Austin's wrist, pulling her captive in she backed her towards the wall.

'Payback's a bitch,' Ashley smirked at Austin who looked rather worried now.

Without warning Ashley swooped in and gripped the younger girl around the waist, in seconds she had her in a fireman's lift and was charging towards the pool. Fuck she was strong. Austin was well built like me but a lot taller, therefore heavier. It seemed easy the way she tossed the lanky girl into the pool The resulting splash sent a tide of water over the edge of the pool, sprinkling us all with a spatter of water.

"Ashleeeey!" Austin whined as she struggled out of the pool, she was drenched.

Ashley went to help her friend out, offering Austin a hand the red head yelped when she was left hanging and fell back into the pool. I couldn't help a grin appear as I saw the childish delight on Ashley's face as she reaped revenge

I watched Spencer watching the antics in the pool. She was focused on Ashley and it wasn't hard to see why. The girl was gorgeous, if I had been single I would have wanted a taste of that. I'm surprised we never crossed paths before, but then L. a big place. Since our talk I was a lot more relaxed about the brunette's interest in my friend. To be fair, I'd never met the girl and my opinion had been based solely on her reputation and stories of her outrageous antics. The drugs, the rock star life style and the total disregard for anyone but herself, including her two closest friends whose house she was now living in. The playful creature standing on the edge of the pool was not what I expected. Sure, I was pissed off at her earlier display but I'd have done something similar in her position. The rest of the time she'd been quietly chatting to Austin or jotting in her various notebooks, every so often she would look into the distance and I would watch her lips moving as she ran things through her head. The intensity she exhibited, as some new thought came to her and was furiously scribbled down, was actually quite captivating. If Austin and Maggie trusted her then I would, even when it came to Spencer.

Now, I would consider myself an expert on Spencer Carlin. I'd studied her mind and her body, I could tell when she was happy, sad, aroused, about to cum and when she just needed holding. Of all her lovers I spent the most time with her out of the bedroom and enjoyed every second. You also know how close we are? Well, I was studying my friend and was intrigued by what I saw. Now, when Spencer comes across a girl she finds attractive it's usually full on predator mode. You know what I mean, she might not sleep with them but she sure as hell let's them know she could have them if she wanted to. Um, Katrina, Caitlin, Cassie, Jamie the bitch and this afternoon she'd also been telling me about me about Meg's friends. All ready to be bitched by Spencer Carlin if the whim takes her. If she wanted, Spencer could be a real player like the rest of us had been. Well Maggie, Ashley, Amy, Kate and I. Although that was another reason she had such an influence over the girls, they usually knew who her lovers were or had heard rumours and wanted to be admitted to the elite, it added to Spencer's 'mystique'.

Anyway, I knew she was into Ashley but she wasn't exhibiting any of the behaviour I would have expected to see. Spencer wasn't overtly pursuing the brunette, she hadn't forced an intimate situation or been overly sexual in her presence. What? Oh, the massage had been all me, she'd enjoyed it but if she'd have wanted Ashley's attention things would have gotten hot and heavy sometime during the afternoon. We'd been touching and kissing as we always did but that was how we always were around each other these days. It might be a bit more constant but that was because we'd missed each other over the summer. Does Kate mind? Not really, this is how the three of us are when we are together. Kate knew that the same affection continued when she wasn't there but she's so secure in our relationship it doesn't bother her. Her only gripe is that she doesn't go to King with us, cuts down her 'Spencer time'!

Sorry, I keep going off topic. So, instead of making a pass at Ashley, Spencer had spent all afternoon quietly watching every move she made. They had been making eye contact a lot too, Ashley was as interested in Spencer as my friend was in her. Spencer seemed content to observe and now she was watching the water drama with a small smile on her face. I was astonished when the brunette caught her watching and after a moment an almost identical smile appeared on Ashley's face. I looked between the two girls, Ashley was first to look away and dipped her head almost shyly before looking back at Spencer who was now grinning back at the brunette.

Spencer had a crush! I frowned as I watched Ashley, what did she want with Spencer? Sex? Austin distracted the brunette and they broke eye contact. Spencer was still watching the pair as they chatted, every so often Ashley would look over to Spencer before turning back to Austin. Every time this happened both girls smiled. This wasn't just about sex or lust it went deeper, she wanted Ashley to be her girl! Understanding hit me hard and fast. But what did Ashley have in mind, was she just drawing Spencer in or was she genuine? Fuck! After I suppressed the wave of jealousy I realised it explained a lot. Certainly why Spencer had been so upset at school that day. If my crush had told me to fuck off I'd have been devastated. So when did this all happen? They hadn't spent much time together that I knew of, although Spencer did hang here a lot. Ashley's motivations concerned me though, Spencer was hotter than hot and would be quite a conquest for a girl like Ashley. It was going to make it so much harder to be nice to the girl if I was constantly questioning her motives.

Yeah, and I still had to apologise, it had to be genuine or it was all over. Spencer kept her word, Kate and I would be cut off and that would not go down well with my gorgeous girlfriend. You know how she feels about Spencer. Heh, shame she wasn't here earlier, me being bitched against the fridge would have got her all kinds of horny, who knows where that would have led.

Addison was still watching my every move, it wasn't overtly threatening but it still made me uncomfortable. Spencer was watching me too, that I could cope with. Every time our eyes met I got a little flutter in my stomach. I hadn't felt like this since my feelings changed towards Maggie, even then it had been different. We knew each other so well and I knew she was gay so I hadn't felt nervous, just excited that I wanted to share something so intimate with my best friend. There! Again our eyes met and I couldn't have kept the smile away if I'd wanted to.

"Guys, you wanna get changed, get pizza and watch a movie?" Austin asked her friends. It was getting quite late and now I thought about it I was starving.

The girls agreed on the plan and after gathering their stuff made their way inside. I loitered and took my time making my way into the house. I had a lot to think about. From what Austin had been saying Spencer liked me too, I knew it was the truth. Firstly because despite her playful nature Austin wouldn't joke about something like that and secondly how else would you explain Spencer's behaviour this afternoon? Problem was what should I do? I knew how to pursue and conqueror but not how to approach a girl with the intention of having a long term relationship. Fuck me! I just used the word relationship! Uggh! I was so whipped!

Alright shower time, then I'd have to give it some more thought. The girls would be around for the evening but wouldn't disturb me in my room. Maybe I'd try out some of those chords I'd written down? I reached my room and I could hear music belting from Austin's and the girls chattering and laughing. The sound made me smile, this was a home and I was enjoying living here. I turned as I heard Maggie's door click, I thought she was out? Turning, I was surprised to see Spencer leaving the room.

Xxxx

Oh my! That's a sight for sore eyes. Ashley was just about to go into her room when I reached the hallway. I'd taken the liberty of using Maggie's shower as I kept some toiletries in her room as well as a few changes of clothes. I slept in her room too when I stayed over, whether she was here or not. She said she liked to come home to a Spencer bed, or a Spencer in her bed depending on what time she got home. When she came home early in the morning she'd usually not slept and was buzzing from her night out. My favourite times were when she'd been dancing and had a whole load of nervous, sexual energy to release. At times like those the sex was hard and fast, she needed quick release and it was my pleasure to oblige before we would fall into an exhausted, deep sleep. Then in the morning we'd take our time with each other until we were forced to leave her bed. What? Did I mind that she had her own life and we didn't go out together. No. It worked for us both, it would be too much like dating and would restrict our freedom to be individuals. When we did go out together it was as a group to the movies or a diner.

"Hi, I was just using the shower," the blonde explained as she saw me watching her.

She had changed into boxers and a tank, of course she looked hot! Her damp hair was tied back in a pony and my eyes were drawn to the long sweep of her neck.

"OK," I nodded, accepting her explanation as I pulled my eyes away to meet hers.

We just stood looking at each other for a few seconds before she looked away.

"Sorry, I'll let you get on," Spencer smiled and walked towards Austin's room. She stopped by Austin's door and looked back at me as she lounged on the door frame.

"White looks good on you," she smirked after giving me a thorough once over, I felt my nipples harden as she raked her eyes over my body.

She left me speechless as she disappeared inside to join her friends.

Xxx

I walked in to Austin's room and my friends were lounging around chatting. They'd all changed into PJ's with the exception of Addison who was going out with Kate later.

"Hey Spence," Austin smiled as I I flopped down on her bed next to Addison.

She and Annie were sat on the floor by the window, Kyla and Madison occupied the couch.

Spence?" Kyla caught my attention, I looked over at the pretty brunette and smiled.

"Yeah, Ky. What's up?"

"What's going on with Ashley?" Her eyes were full of questions.

Addison shifted next to me.

"Yeah, Spence what's going on?" The brunette asked as she intertwined her fingers with mine.

Oh! I hadn't been trying to hide anything so I shouldn't be surprised my friends had picked up on my attraction to the brunette. I ducked my head and played with Addison's fingers as I thought through my answer.

"Spencer you whore!" Madison was the first to speak. "You so want to do Ashley!" She laughingly accused me. I glanced up and caught Austin's eye, she gave a small shrug and raised a quizzical brow.

"No," Addison spoke next as she stroked the back of my hand. "There's more isn't there?" She asked quietly then waited for my response. All eyes were still on me and I decided to be honest with my friends. It was one step closer to getting this all out in the open.

"I," How to say this? "I really like her," I quietly volunteered.

"We know that," Kyla snorted. "You haven't taken your eyes off her all day. We were just waiting for you to do your thing and, I don't know, jump her or something." She shrugged and settled back against Madison

"Spence, she's fine, gotta get you a piece of that," Madison said with enthusiasm. "You can't let that booty go untapped!" The Latina shook her head as she rued the possibility.

"Maddy," Kyla growled and turned to scowl at her girlfriend.

"What?" Madison threw her hands up in self-defence. "One of us has got to get some Ashley Davies and it ain't gonna be me, obviously," she shot a comical sideways glance at her girlfriend. I think she was trying to placate Kyla but the damage had been done. "We've got a rep you know, can't have some skank like Katrina getting there first."

"Maddy!" I growled. I think she'd better stop before Kyla exploded.

'Well, what are you going to do about it Spencer?' she retorted, her green eyes flashing a challenge.

"Nothing," I muttered quietly and concentrated on Addison's comforting presence. There was a minutes silence as they absorbed my words

"Spence," Austin softly spoke up. I looked over at my best friend and she continued. "She likes you too you know?"

"I know," I groaned and buried my head in my arms. "But I don't just want to fuck her," I mumbled, half hoping they wouldn't hear my confession.

"I know sweetie," Addison said as she kissed me gently on the cheek. "I know."

Turning my head I gazed into those hypnotising green eyes. "Really?" I asked softly and she nodded. She knew I was attracted to Ashley but I hadn't realised she had worked out how much the brunette meant to me.

"Really Spence," she pressed her lips to mine in a chaste kiss.

"What am I going to do?" I groaned again and rolled onto my back, Addison moved so she was straddling me.

"Hang on," Madison chirped. "You mean you like her as in want to date her like her?" Her tone was incredulous and she knelt up on the couch behind Kyla.

"Spence?" Kyla asked me for confirmation. I tilted my head back and shot Austin a look, I received nothing but a smile and another shrug.

"Alright, yes!" I growled in frustration and pushed my hands through my hair, loosening my pony tail. Addison lent forward and ran her fingers through my hair, freeing the knots before pushing it tidily behind my ears.

"Yes, I want to date Ashley," I confessed, biting the bullet and getting it out there.

"Whoa, Spence that's serious stuff," Madison was first to speak. "But are you sure you want to date her? I mean she's been around a bit ya know?" Trust Maddy to be blunt.

"Hey!" Austin yelled as Madison insulted her friend. 2That's got nothing to do with it. She's changed," the red head finished quietly as she looked over at me.

"Guys, I'm sure OK?" I vented into the room. "I'm very sure."

"I'm not really OK with this Spence," Kyla spoke up but this was not what I was expecting to hear. "Maddy's right, I don't want you to get hurt."

"She won't hurt me," I reassured the concerned brunette.

"She won't Ky," Austin joined the conversation. "I asked her if she just wanted to fuck Spencer and she said no."

"Do you believe her?" Addison asked Austin.

"Yes, I do," the lanky girl confirmed with a firm nod of her head. "I asked her if she really liked you and she said yes."

"What!" I twisted to look at Austin. "Why did you ask her that?" I growled.

"C'mon Spence, you've been head over heels for months. There's no point wasting any more time." Austin stated in that matter of fact manner she had.

One. Two. Thr...

"Month?"' Kyla was first to jump on her words. I closed my eyes, blocking everything out. When I opened them Addison's green eyes were narrowed.

"She's the one?" Her voice questioned me gently. She was referring to the conversation we'd had the first time we'd kissed.

"Yes." I replied simply. She paused a moment before nodding.

"OK." I was rewarded with a warm smile and a kiss on the forehead as she gave me her blessing. "Guys," she looked over to the two brunettes, "if Austin thinks Ashley means what she says then it's fine with me."

"She does." Austin's tone left no room for doubt and Kyla nodded, giving her support.

"How long?" Kyla asked with a small frown on her face. "I mean, when did you even meet her?" All my friends except Austin awaited my reply.

"Um, uh, at the first party," I informed my waiting crew.

"What? I didn't even know she was there," Addison sounded surprised.

"Uh, yeah she was with Maggie and I think, Caitlin." I explained.

"Spence, have you already had sex with her?" Maddy asked with an almost innocent curiosity.

"Uh, well she was waiting for Maggie when we went to bed but she sent her away because Ashley was high," I would remember that moment forever. Her presence had intoxicated me and she'd been on my mind and in my heart ever since. The memory of Ashley and Maggie kissing on the bed got me wet even now. I couldn't help but press up into Addison, seeking contact on my clit. Addy looked down with hooded eyes, fuck I wish we were alone with Kate, I think she did too.

"Is that why you went to the hospital?" Kyla asked me. She was very intuitive, I bet it had been bugging her ever since that day.

"Yeah," I sighed then felt my eyes tear up at the memory of her fragile young body on the hospital bed.

"Oh Spence," Addy pulled me up into a hug so she was sitting in my lap. "It's OK, she's OK now." She gently rocked me as I tried to control my tears. I felt the bed dip as the others joined me and I was wrapped in their caring arms.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Kyla murmured as she stroked my hair.

"What was the point? From what Austin told me she was pretty far gone even then. It wasn't likely to ever happen." I'd controlled my tears but was still upset, I'd come so close to losing her.

"Well, I can see why you were so worked up the other day," Kyla sighed sympathetically as she rubbed soothing circles on my back.

"Yeah, I didn't know what was going on. I knew she was OK but not that she was at school. Then I see her in the gym and she tells me to go to hell. Not the best day." I finished with a snort.

"Then you come here and find me kissing Ash," Austin quietly added to the conversation. I turned to look at the red head along with all the others.

"Really?" Kyla asked in surprise.

"Yeah, it went downhill from there," I whispered, my memory of the following events making me feel sick. I was still surrounded by my friends, they were all in contact with some part of my body. I felt so loved just then

"Why the fuck were you kissing Ashley if you knew how Spencer felt?" Addy growled, tightening her protective hold on me. I hid my face and inhaled her soothing scent.

"It was just," she paused. I turned my head out of Addison's chest so I could see what was going on. Austin was receiving death glares from Maddy and Kyla, Addy looked fit to kill and although Annie was hanging back she looked disapproving. "To prove I could OK?2 Austin puffed. "It was stupid I know that, it was just a peck." She looked defensively around the group. "I used to haver a huuuge crush OK? I'm only human, have you seen her?"

"Hell yeah!" Maddy of course!

"Anyway, I told her it was all she was getting," she couldn't resist a small smirk.

"Yeah, cos you're soo hot!" Annie rolled her eyes at her girlfriends cockiness.

"Well Ash wasn't complaining!" Austin defended herself and we all chuckled. "Anyway I explained to Spence and we're cool." I nodded and smiled at my bud, even when she wasn't trying she could cheer me up. "Spence, why was Maggie in bed with Ashley instead of you in the morning?" Austin quickly changed the subject and kept up the questioning but I wasn't expecting that piece of information.

"I, I didn't know she was." Addison wrapped her arms around me more tightly and pulled me close.

"Austin!" Addy hissed. "Maybe that's enough right now?"

"No, I. I." I wanted to tell them, if only they knew what a reprehensible bastard I could be but I also had to respect Maggie's privacy. "I had to leave," was all I ended up saying. I tried to convey wrongdoing in my words but it was unlikely any of them would pick up on it.

"It's OK Spence, they looked pretty cosy in the morning but I asked Ash and she says they didn't have sex," Austin kindly informed me as though she'd done me a great favour by finding out for me.

"Austin!" This time it was Annie reprimanding my friend.

"What? I knew Spencer would want to know so I asked her." I just shook my head, she was a great friend and only looking out for my best interests. "It was the least I could do," she muttered with a scowl. I knew she still felt really guilty about the kissing incident.

"Thanks Aust." I smiled and she stepped down the defences a bit. "Maggie hadn't said but I think she would have if they had." From all the interactions I had witnessed over the past few days I'd noted a slow familiarity returning between the brunettes but not the intimacy of lovers. Until today, there had definitely been sexual tension present in the hallway. That was another confusing issue I had to deal with, but I'll get into that another time. Remind me sometime.

"You OK now Spence?" Madison asked and I nodded.

"Better, thanks guys. I'm so sorry for not telling you but like I said there didn't seem any point and I didn't fancy a lecture." I shrugged and Addy peppered my face with kisses.

"It's OK hunny," she held me close and I relaxed against her before thanking her with a kiss.

"You two want some alone time?" Maddy asked, she was actually serious but we were getting rather into it. Addy looked at the Latina in surprise.

"Uh, no." She was frowning. "Not unless Kate walks through that door right now,"she snorted and shook her head.

"Mads, you know we don't do anything without Kate," I was surprised she'd brought it up.

"Yeah well, you've been perving over each other all day, thought things had changed," she shrugged dismissively

"No we never..." I started to protest then Addy interrupted me.

"Spence."

"What?" I frowned in confusion.

"There was that one time.." she smirked and I blushed.

"Ah! Yes, um well," I tried to hide my embarrassment, and arousal.

"What! You have to tell us now." Maddy was all excited, her eyes had lit up at the thought of getting some dirt on my sex life.

"Noooo." I groaned and hid my face in Addison's neck.

"Speeeence, pleeease," my horny friend whined. I was surprised Kyla hadn't intervened by now but she was all ears.

"Why not? It was hot!" Addy teased me gently. Fuck it! They knew what I was like.

"Me, Addy, locker room," I mumbled into Addison's hair.

"Spence," I was gently chastised, "you left out the part where I slammed you up against the lockers before fucking you senseless on the bench." She paused, "three times," she finished smugly. I got wet at the thought

"And Kate?" Kyla sounded disapproving, without even looking I knew Maddy and Austin would be turned on.

"It was an emergency situation, after summer break. Right after you guys left the locker room," Addy gestured at Ky and Mads. "Kate was down with it." Kyla nodded but didn't look overly happy. I think she thought Kate just put up with our relationship rather than being the real catalyst to it's instigation.

"C'mon let's go downstairs. I've got some new DVD's to choose from," Austin jumped up and helped Annie up. "Enough moping, let's eat crap!"

"And beer, let's drink beer!" Madison joined in the charge for refreshment and they started making their way downstairs, arguing about what pizza to order.

"OK Sweetie?" I asked Spencer, we were still entwined on the bed.

"Yeah, and I'm sorry for not explaining before," she quietly apologised.

"It's OK," I said, kissing her on the forehead, "I get it, I really do hun." Her blue eyes met mine and she smiled. She was OK. I knelt up and moved off her lap, stretching my arms up before I climbed off the bed I groaned as she ran her finger tips over the sliver of exposed stomach.

"Speeence! You're a tease," I growled.

"Yes I am," she purred as she followed her fingers with her lips.

"At this rate we'll never get to the party tonight," her lips were getting me hot in all the wrong places, for the current situation anyway.

"You think Kate'll be complaining?" My blonde lover questioned coyly as she pulled her lips away.

"Hell no!" I laughed at the comment. "We'd better go or Maddy'll be up here trying to get her perv on." Spencer chuckled and followed me out of the room.

"She's such a horndog, you'd think she never got any," the blonde tossed the comment over her shoulder as she preceded me out of Austin's room.

"Yeah, I know Kyla's got her hands full but she knows how to keep her in line, I replied. "She's whipped!" Spencer nodded and laughed at the statement, it was so true. I walked behind her down the hall. Yes, of course I was checking her out, that's a given. "Sweetie, I'll see you downstairs?" I stopped when I noticed Ashley's door was ajar. Spencer turned and cottoned on to my intentions.

"OK, I'll see you soon?" She looked concerned but I needed to do this.

"You will," I blew her a kiss, she just smiled and shook her head before going downstairs.

Xxxx

I'd heard the chattering girls heading downstairs, about time I thought as my stomach rumbled. I was just out of the shower and pulling on some shorts and an old T before drying my hair when a knock at the door disturbed me.

"About time Aust, I'm.." I stopped when I saw who was knocking. Addison was leaning against the door frame. She was dressed to hit the clubs. Her make up was smoky, long black boots, fishnets, short, tight black skirt and silky red sleeveless shirt completed the ensemble. She had a wide, white silk tie around her neck. Hot? She was fucking volcanic."Yes?" I asked coldly not wanting to give her any satisfaction. She straightened up before speaking.

"May I come in?" The stunning, yes I'll admit she was stunning, brunette asked quietly.

"Why? Have you come to insult me again, threaten me maybe?" She growled as I stood in the doorway. She was still damp from the shower and was towelling her hair as she spoke to me. I took a look around her room as I composed my thoughts, I couldn't afford to get this wrong. It was obvious she'd just moved in, there were boxes scattered in the corners but it was mostly tidy. My eyes took in the array of instruments in the far corner of the room carefully arranged on stands, there were stacks of music books piled next to them. It hadn't occurred to me that musical talent would run in the family, stupid of me really.

Xxxx

"No, I've come to apologise," my hand stopped drying my hair and I straightened up and met her eyes.

"Apologise?" I injected enough sarcasm into my voice to let her know I doubted her motive.

"May I come in?" She repeated her question, I frowned as I beckoned her in. Better get this over with, I was craving pizza.

"Make it quick, I'm busy," I growled. This was all I fucking needed, an insincere apology so she could go simpering back to Spencer.

"It's not going to be quick, I need to explain," the brunette walked into the room and made her self comfortable on my couch. She crossed her legs and rested her arms along the back, she looked perfectly at home and relaxed.

"Explain what? That you hate me and want to to stay away from Spencer?" I sneered at her but she just stared calmly back.

"No, I want to explain how I feel about Spencer," her green eyes held mine and I'm ashamed to admit that it was my morbid curiosity that allowed her to continue. I wanted any information I could get my hands on that pertained to the confusing blonde.

"Go on," I gave her my permission to continue. She fiddled with her tie as she sat there, it was a moment before she spoke. Actually this might be interesting.

Xxxx

I was here to apologise. I also wanted Ashley to understand how important Spencer was to me, what a wonderful friend she was and was and find out her intentions towards her. I sound like the father of the bride don't I? This was important and I needed to do it right and to do that I needed to fill Ashley in on some background.

Xxxx

When she began to speak I immediately gave her my full attention. This was not what I expected to hear, her tone was measured and even, hypnotic.

"Two girls hold my heart, my girlfriend and Spencer Carlin. The day I met Spencer was the worst day of my life. She found me when I'd been beaten unconscious for daring to be a gay kid at King. She and Glen took me in, cared for me, asked no questions and expected nothing in return. We became friends. I didn't do friends. I had a girl who I love but other than her, no friends. I kept to myself at school, it was easier than constantly trying to defend myself. Spencer changed that, she introduced me to her crew, they kept me safe and Spencer put herself on the line to put the bastard that hurt me and the other kids behind bars. He's going down for a long time if Caroline has anything to do with it."

The papers and court date. She took breath then continued.

"I love Spencer and she loves me, deeply. I would kill for her. When I hear you're back in town are you surprised I was a bitch to you? You could have got Maggie killed. You slept with anything that took your fancy and you were fucked up on drugs. I can't risk that girl being anywhere near Spencer."

I was frowning now. That was more what I had expected.

"I used to be just like you Ashley, I did drugs, I fucked girls and I did it for the conquest. Again, I can't have anyone like that near Spencer."

"I'll be near whoever I fucking like," I growled. Nobody was going to remind me what a fuck up I was. That was my job.

"No!" Addison growled and shook her head, pushed herself up off the couch and walked towards me until she was inches away.

"Ashley," her voice was calm now but the change in tone had caught me off guard, "I've been watching you today and talking to Austin and Spencer. I think you've changed, I did, so I know it's possible. I know that Spencer likes you and not in the way she likes anyone else. It's deeper than that. I want Spencer to have someone she can call her own. Some one who can match her strength and love her with the intensity that she loves. At first I didn't understand why it had to be you but now I do. I think you could make her very happy and I'm very sorry for assuming the worst. I hope you'll accept my apology and that maybe given time, we can be friends." She paused and ran her fingers through her hair. "But if you hurt her by going back to your old ways I will make you pay with any means at my disposal and I won't be the only one," she stepped back as she finished her warning.

OK? I was slightly stunned by the brunettes words. Spencer liked me, that much? I'd tuned out the rest and that was the only part of the conversation running around in my head.

"Ashley?" Addison was trying to get my attention.

"Really?" I couldn't move on. I looked up and she was smiling softly.

"Yes, really," A smile completely bypassed my self control and I found myself grinning like an idiot.

The brunette smiled back at me and shook her head.

Xxxx

It was actually very sweet. Her nose was crinkled and a genuine smile lit up her features, she really was beautiful.

"Shit! We both jumped as Ashley's cell phone buzzed, she grabbed it off the dresser and answered it. "What! Couldn't you get your lazy ass upstairs?" Ashley growled into the phone. "Austin wants to know what pizza you want," she sighed and shook her head at the laziness of her friend.

"I'm not eating," I gestured to my outfit and Ashley nodded.

"Addison's good, usual for me," she paused, "yeah, sounds good I'm starving. Thanks." She ended the call and all that was left was an awkward silence.

"Friends?" Ashley sounded sceptical.

"Why not? It would mean a lot to Spencer," I shrugged but she still didn't look convinced. "How about we're just civil for now and see how it goes?"

xxxx

OK? This was not what I'd expected when I'd seen her in my doorway. Her speech had been revelationary, parts were only just sinking and I'd have to make sense of it later.

"I can do civil," I nodded curtly not convinced I was capable of anything more just yet. Her attack was still too fresh, I was also cautious about her warnings.

"And I will be apologising to Amy when I next see her," she seemed to read my mind as she mentioned her slight against the blonde. "Spencer and Amy are very close and I had no right to say what I did," she sighed and ran a hand through the soft waves of her hair.

I knew the girls seemed close but I didn't see why Addison had such a bee in her bonnet about Amy. Addison just waited for me to speak, I could really see why girls would be attracted to her. She had a cool, almost dangerous edge that a lot of girls would find irresistible. I knew it well, it seemed the less you cared about them the more they threw themselves at you and the lower they would go to please you. I used to get off on it but now it made me sick. Maybe I had more in common with this girl than we both wanted to acknowledge.

"OK," It was all she was getting right now but it was said without animosity, just a statement of fact.

"Hi sweetie," Addy entered the room and made a bee line for the couch I was laid on. A minute later Ashley followed and found a seat near the TV.

"It's done," Addy whispered and I nodded before I scooted forward and she kicked off her boots and climbed in behind me. We were all dotted around the smaller living room. There was a cinema room in the mansion but we preferred to lounge around in here as it was cosier and still had a huge plasma TV for us to watch our dvd's on. As usual they were bickering about what to watch.

"Hang on!" Austin jumped up and rifled through a stack of stuff sat on a side table. "Yes!" She actually jumped in the air then started dancing around the room.

"What's that," Kyla asked the question, we were all curious to know what had caused the excitement.

"Transformers!" Austin squealed.

"What the new one?" Kyla had perked right up. She loved a good action movie, Austin nodded.

"Yep! I thought we had it somewhere," my friend looked very pleased with herself.

"Where did you get it?" Kyla asked, I think it was professional interest that generated the comment, it hadn't even been released yet.

"A perk of my dad working for the studios, it's an original burn not a copy. One of the producers gave it to him," she smugly explained.

"Well Megan Fox is all good with me," Madison smirked and cracked her knuckles.

"Ugh! Quit it!" Kyla cringed and smacked her girlfriend on the arm.

"Yeah, until she opens her mouth," Annie spoke up for the first time. She was still very quiet around us. Not that I'm surprised, we were a rowdy bunch.

"Stupid mare," Addy grumbled from behind me. "She should think before she speaks."

"Yeah, but are we watching it?" Ashley asked. She was also quiet and had taken up residence in an oversized armchair to our right.

"Hell yeah!" Kyla was bouncing on the couch she was sharing with Maddy.

"Calm down Mami," Maddy teased as she watched her girlfriend with an indulgent smile before pecking her on the cheek.

"I love you!" Kyla launched herself at the Latina and wrapped her arms around her neck. Maddy squealed and tipped backwards so she was trapped beneath the over-excited brunette who mashed their lips together. Madison was smiling when she came up for air.

" If Megan gets her this excited, just imagine how she was when we left yours that night." Maddy, smirked and cocked her brow at me. Everyone kind of froze for a split second and I couldn't help but slip a sideways glance at Ashley as the atmosphere changed.

"Maddy," Kyla growled. "It's you that gets me hot baby," she purred quickly shifting attention back to the couple as they kissed again.

"Good save," Addy muttered as I felt her relax behind me and I hummed my agreement. There would be a time and a place and it wasn't right now. Can't deny the memory got me going though, I pressed back into Addy and she slipped her hand under my tank top and caressed my stomach. It felt good.

Actually, it was lovely to see them so relaxed. It had taken a long time for them to be comfortable with the PDA's around us as they were so used to keeping it platonic. Usually it was making out in the dark when we were watching movies. This was practically unheard of, especially with Annie and Ashley in the room. I looked back over to Ashley and she looked slightly puzzled but was watching the couple and a small smile was trying to break onto her lips.

"Transformers it is then," Addy stretched behind Spencer and she settled back into her arms the brunette pulled her close.

"OK Ash?" Austin asked for my opinion on the DVD, I just nodded, my thoughts elsewhere.

Why did I get the feeling I'd missed something? Annie was also looking thoughtful and I watched as Austin popped the dvd in plopped down next to Annie. The blonde snuggled into the red head and whispered a question. I noted the way Austin's eyes flew to Spencer then to me before she replied. Annie's widened in surprise after the answer, she also looked between me and the blonde. OK? I was definitely missing something. Probably sexual by the way they were avoiding all mention of it and involving Spencer but who else? Madison and Kyla obviously. Drop it Ash, it's history. I think I'd better face up to it, Spencer Carlin is a dark horse.

"Pizza!" Austin and Madison yelled as the doorbell rang. Good, I was about to pass out.

"Ashley was that you?" Spencer chuckled as my stomach made itself known.

"Uh, yeah," I blushed.

"Hungry?"

"Starving," I returned her smile and noticed Addison was smiling too.

"Good," the brunette replied as she extracted herself from Spencer. The blonde groaned as she was forced to move.

"Spence, I'm not your personal pillow," she teased the grumpy blonde.

"Yeah but you're comfy," Spencer whined and pouted.

"Put that lip away young lady," was the brunette's reply as she teasingly shook a finger at her friend.

"Or what?" Oh fuck. Her voice had just dropped and it was very sexy. I watched as Addison also reacted to the change. Her eyes darkened and she licked her lips before dipping in for a kiss. Spencer responded by wrapping her fingers in the brunette's hair and kneeling up so their bodies were pressed together.

"Will you two just get a freakin' room already," Austin grumbled as she and Madison arrived with a tower of pizza boxes. I tore my eyes away from the two girls. How did I feel? Aroused? Yes. Jealous? Surprisingly not, especially after Addison's speech earlier. I had no claim on Spencer and to be honest her free flowing sexuality attracted me. They eventually broke off but both girls were breathing heavily.

"Listen guys I've got to go," Addison straightened and looked around the room at her friends.

"Where you headed?" Madison asked the brunette.

"Um, not sure, hot date in West Hollywood. Addison smirked, "dinner and a party I think. Whatever it is it'll be a good night."

"Ugh!" Spencer flopped back onto the couch in disgust. "It's alright for some," she grumbled.

"Oi!" A bag of chips hit the blonde in the face. "Are we not good enough for you biatch?" Austin yelled at her friend.

"No it's just.." she started to explain.

"It's just Addy's been winding you up all day and you're horny as all hell!" Madison blurted then received a familiar look of exasperation from Kyla.

"Not just Addy," Spencer muttered under her breath but loud enough to be heard. I blushed as all eyes turned on me. Oh god, I blushed, not cool. Addison spoke again, diverting the attention back to her.

"Sorry Spence, I'm going to eat, dance and get laid, Addison smirked at the blonde who scowled.

"Or, dance, get laid and eat," Madison cackled.

"Good plan Mads," the brunette tightened her tie. "Although at some point I was planning on taking her over my knee and spanking her tight ass," she purred before continuing into the dead silence her last words had wrought. I glanced around at the girls and they were all slightly stunned. As well as being horny I was very curious to find out more about Addison's girl. How the hell did these two get away with such blatant behaviour?

"I have to go, she'll be waiting sweetie," she spoke directly to Spencer who looked like a petulant child. "Stop sulking and give me a kiss," she dropped to her knees and locked into an intense stare with Spencer until the blonde relented and sat up to kiss her again. This time the kiss was sweet and light.

"Have fun, I'll miss you," the blonde gave her friend a genuine smile and her words were warm.

"Thanks, hunny. I'll call you," the brunette winked as she rested her hands on Spencer's knees and pushed herself up. "Bye guys," she smiled and waved at the room in general.

"Bye Ashley. Nice to meet you properly." I was also treated to a genuine smile much to the surprise of the rest of the girls. "See you at lunch on Monday?"

"Uh, maybe," I stammered but not wanting to invite myself into their group again.

"Ok, gotta go," Addison smiled and popped a quick kiss on the top of Spencer's head before dashing off.

"Spence you dirty bitch," Madison chortled as we watched the girl go.

Spencer just swung round on the couch so she was lying length ways and scowled around the room, quashing any further comments. She actually looked quite upset now the brunette had gone.

"C'mon the pizza's getting cold," Austin reminded me how hungry I really was.

"Right, that's yours Ash," she said as she handed me a large box.

Xxxx

"You're gonna eat all that?" Madison asked incredulously as Ashley took the box from Austin.

"I'm hungry," Ashley replied with a shrug before settling back into her chair and systematically started to devour the 14 inch pizza, pepperoni with extra chilli. Shit. I hoped my behaviour with Addy hadn't upset her. I was in complete conflict with myself. Austin pointed the remote and started the DVD and we ate. After I'd finished eating I laid back down and soon lost track of the movie as I studied the brunette out of the corner of my eye, I could be subtle as I had to look past her to see the TV.

"Where the hell did you put all that?" Madison was astonished that the slight girl had devoured the whole thing in less than 10 minutes. Ashley patted her perfectly toned stomach before replying.

"High metabolism, gotta keep my strength up," she smirked before downing a can of soda in one go then settling down to watch the film.

"Chica, I'm impressed." Maddy shook her head and gave Ashley a look of total respect.

"Awww, Maddy's got a new heeerwo," Kyla teased her girl who just scowled. Ashley chuckled and we all went back to watching the film.

I always craved Addison and today had been no exception. In fact it had been worse because I was on edge due to Ashley's presence. Addy's calming influence was the only thing that had kept me from either jumping the quiet girl or making a complete blithering idiot of myself. Now she was gone I missed her warmth and was already getting jittery.

"Spence if you don't sit still I'm going to tell you to go take care of yourself," Austin grumbled as I tried to get comfortable.

"Austin!" Kyla was outraged on my behalf and piped up from her position between Maddy's legs on the opposite couch. No. They were cuddling, nothing rude. Dirty bitches!

"Piss off,"I growled and burrowed further down into the soft leather.

I glanced over at Spencer then Austin then back to Spencer as I followed the conversation. The blonde was really agitated but I think it was more than her hormones. Hmpf! Although, I bet she was good to go.

"Where's Maggie," Austin asked Spencer.

"How should I know?" The blonde growled back. I knew full well she knew where Maggie was.

"She's out with Spencer's bitch, Bella," I helpfully provided hoping to steer the conversation to get more info about Spencer's love life. All I got was a slight scowl.

'Spence? When the hell did you meet Bella?' Austin was curious now.

'She lives with Meg's girlfriend.' Spencer muttered, trying to look as though she was absorbed in the film.

'She's hot,' Austin calmly stated as her eyes were drawn back to a big action sequence.

'How'd you end up there?' Austin continued the questioning although she wasn't paying full attention. 'Spence?' She prompted her friend who'd stayed silent.

'I, um spent some time with Meg the other night.' she muttered a reply.

'Is that where Amy picked you up from?' Austin was curious now and had refocused on the blonde.

'Yes,' another muted reply. Spencer wasn't being very forthcoming.

'Are you sleeping with Bella?' Austin was digging for gossip now.

'No!' Spencer sounded slightly outraged and I could see her glaring in the dim light the TV was throwing out. But, would Austin have asked if it wasn't likely? So did Spencer Carlin sleep around? It had given me something to think about.

'Oh, I thought she'd be just your type, you know? She's a bit of a playa,' Austin was too caught up in the film to register the blonde's displeasure at the line of questioning.

'Austin!' Kyla growled and that got the red head's attention. 'Leave it!' The brunette ordered.

'Sorry, it was just what Ash said,' my friend defended herself.

'There might have been a 'moment',' Spencer muttered, blue eyes glued to the screen.

'So you bitched her?' Madison joined in and was paying full attention now.

OK! I'd been passive all evening but I couldn't resist this opportunity, a flare of confidence infused me.

'C'mon Spencer give them a demonstration,' I smirked at the blonde who looked slightly stunned I'd decided to speak.

'No thanks,' another scowl met my teasing words and she glared at me.

'Oh, come on, this time you can be Bella,' I teased, you know I was thinking of my 'alone time' the other night! All hot and wet and, OK you get the idea!

'Come on,' the girl's full attention was on us now and I reached down to take her hands.

She tucked them under her arms like a little kid. I smiled at her childish behaviour and slipped it up a gear.

'Spencer,' I used the same tone she'd used on Addison earlier and it seemed to stun her slightly. You go Davies!

'Stand up,' I commanded and she nearly launched herself into orbit tying to get up quickly enough. I laughed inside but didn't let it show. She was really cute.

'Ok, so how did it go?' She was now standing in front of me and I put my hands on her hips.

Her whole body stiffened and I gasped as a tingle travelled down my spine. I met those blue eyes and once again I was lost. I could cope as long as we didn't touch, when we did I was helpless. After a second I managed to pull myself together, I wanted to finish this.

I quickly executed the move Spencer had pulled yesterday. I'd had some basic martial arts training along with the gymnastics so it hadn't been hard to figure out what she'd done.

We were now a mirror image of the other day and also my dream. Her body was held against mine and I could actually hear her heart pounding frantically as she stood perfectly still. It felt good and warmth was spreading where our bodies touched. My clit started to throb, I withheld a moan as I felt my panties soak in pre-cum

'So Spencer said 'you can touch me when you've begged to be my bitch,' I purred.

We were the same height so I could speak directly into her ear. I held her as long as I could without turning this into something else entirely. She remained perfectly still the whole time, her only reaction was her pounding heart and slight gasp as I'd spoken. I couldn't resist and tipped my hips forward, pushing my mound into her ass. She inhaled sharply in a hiss of breath but otherwise showed no reaction.

'Good girl,' I heard whispered as I watched the tableau unfold before me.

Ashley had complete control of Spencer, the kind of control I'd seen my friend exert several times now. Normally there would have been some battle of wills but today she had surrendered completely.

'Fuck!' Maddy whispered quietly into my ear. I just nodded my agreement. This was quite astonishing. Spencer seemed entranced and made no effort to break away until Ashley gently released her.

'Works every time 'ey Spencer?' she smirked at the shell shocked blonde then took Spencer's hand and pulled her down onto the couch with her.

'Sit with me,' it was neither a statement or command, just an understanding between the two girls.

'Good girl,' I heard whispered as she spoke into my ear. I flooded and my pussy spasmed, spilling out my pre-cum

'Works every time 'ey Spencer?' she smirked at me then took my hand and pulled me down onto the couch with her.

'Sit with me.'

I wasn't going to argue so I sat down and tried to gather my thoughts. I wonder if that was how Ashley had felt the other day? I hoped so. Oh god, I was startled even more when I felt soft lips press against my cheek and a warm body snuggle in behind me.

Turning, I noticed my friends were now discreetly watching us rather than full on staring. I then looked at Ashley who caught my gaze and smiled softly.

'It's OK,' she whispered quietly and rested her head on my shoulder.

We watched the rest of the movie in silence, the only sound the quiet whispers of the other couples and the shifting of our bodies on the furniture. I have no idea what happened in the movie, I was too focused on the warm body next to me. She had sat next to me but because of the angle between the couch and the TV we were turned so she had to press up behind me to see. After her last words her head had come to rest on my shoulder and as time had progressed I had settled back against her. We sat like that until I moved against her and her arm slipped around my waist.

'Do you mind?' The question was almost inaudible but her tone was soft. I shook my head and her grip tightened.

This was all very new to me. If I liked a girl I made the moves and in no time we'd be in bed, well that's how it had been with Amy. I liked her, I knew we could be friends, I was sexually attracted to her and the beast inside wanted to dominate her. Maggie had been slightly different as had Addison and Kate but the overall principle was the same. This behaviour reminded me more of my first and only boyfriend and his lame attempts to relax me before he went in for the inevitable grope. Well, except from the boy, the lame and the 'hell if I'd complain if she wanted to grope me!' No, this was relaxed care.

Xxxx

Spencer lent against me and I held her close, inhaling the smell of her shampoo. Actually it was Maggie's shampoo, maybe that was why I found it so soothing? Maggie was also the only girl I'd held like this, safe, warm, relaxed and the same low burn of arousal was present. I shifted slightly to get more comfortable and her body melded into mine as though we were one. I wasn't watching the movie and I could tell she wasn't either. I was hyper aware of every breath, movement, sound and scent that came off her body.

Xxxx

'I, uh need the bathroom,' I muttered my excuse as I sat forward.

Her arm released me and I carefully stood up and made my escape giving her a quick smile as I went. My body felt cold without her wrapped around me but to be honest I was glad of the reprieve. My thoughts were misfiring, I couldn't hold onto to a coherent thread for more than a second and the longer I was with her the more unbearable the low pulse in my groin became.

Fuck. I made it to the bathroom and made sure the lock was secure before I lent my back against the door and slid to the floor as I tried to compose myself. Bringing my legs up to my chest I rested my head on my knees and ran my hands through my hair.

The agitation I'd felt since Addy had left had come back ten fold once I'd left Ashley. I needed to get back in control but I was being bombarded by images and sensations relating to the beautiful brunette I'd just left.

Ashley in the pool, Ashley dripping wet, Ashley's touch as she burned a path up my body, Ashley's hot lips meeting mine.

I remembered how the kiss felt, how the desire I had for her shot through my body and exploded in my clit. I felt her lips press back down onto mine but instead of pulling away she deepened the kiss and her hand travelled back down until her palm was grazing my nipple through the flimsy fabric of my bikini. As I arched up into her touch I heard a moan and knew it was me. I was on fire, a complete slave to her touch as she made slow circles with her hand, teasing the soft nub until it begged to be sucked, licked, bitten.

Ashley,' I heard myself moan as her tongue forced it's way inside my mouth, claiming me and I was helpless to resist.

'You're mine now baby,' she purred into my mouth and her fingers rolled my nipple to emphasise her point.

'Fuck!' I growled as my pussy contracted.

'If you insist,' was the answer I received as her lips left mine

A weight over my pussy made me open my eyes. Addison was still sitting on me. Without releasing my nipple Ashley used her free hand to reach up, she tangled her fingers in Addy's hair and roughly pulled her head down so their lips met in a searing kiss. My hips jerked up into Addison's pussy causing us both to groan.

'Mine,' Ashley growled as she roughly attacked Addison's lips leaving them swollen and red before she pulled away.

Addy smirked and lent down, she nipped at my other nipple through the cloth. My body twisted as it reacted to the sensations, writhing up off the sun bed. Ashley's eyes held mine as Addison released my nipple and swung her leg over my body, cool air rushed to fill the space she had occupied until it was almost immediately filled by Ashley.

'Have fun,' Addy whispered as she bent to place one last kiss on my lips before retreating.

I was now pinned down by another sexy brunette but this one had a wicked glint in her eye, she palmed both my breasts and her hips began an almost imperceptible rocking. The water from her wet briefs soaked through to mine and for a moment a delicious counterpoint formed between the fire in my clit and the cool weight pressing down onto me.

'Will you be my bitch Spencer Carlin?' She purred in that low husky voice that made my clit throb.

I didn't answer her and she began rocking harder until I was pushing up in a matching rhythm.

'Spencer?' She growled and her eyes darkened until I was looking into pools of night.

Still I remained silent and she smirked at my resolve.

'You will be my bitch Spencer,' it was a statement and I barely held in a moan of pure desire.

My resolve broke when one hand left my breast, the pads of her fingers trailed down the faint valley's of my abs and then tugged suggestively at the waist band of my briefs before slipping inside. I was wet and her fingers slipped effortlessly down and hovered just above my clit.

"Spencer?" Again the question but this time she lightly brushed my erect clit, my head snapped back and my upper body arched up towards her.

"Asheeely!" I let out a guttural moan as I surrendered.

Her lips crashed down onto mine, and her body stretched out on top of me. The finger that had been teasing me disappeared but before I could protest she slammed two fingers inside and began pumping them in deep. I was dripping wet and they slid in and out with ease as she built to an almost frantic pace. She added a third finger and I was thrusting up to meet her strokes as her palm ground against my clit. She brought her knee up and added more force to her penetration. My body was writhing beneath her, unsure of how to process the intense sensations. All I could feel was Ashley, in me, on me and all around me.

"Say you're mine," she commanded as I felt my orgasm build.

"I'm yours," I gasped as she curled her fingers and pressed down.

My body jacked up so hard I nearly threw her off as my pussy started to contract. Her fingers were deep inside, playing me, touching me, exploring me as she made me cum. My muscles clamped down around her fingers as wave after wave of pleasure coursed through my unresisting body. Each time I thought I was coming down her fingers brushed at hidden spots inside and I was one again sent spiralling out of control.

"Fuuuck!" My head fell back against the bathroom door as my body shook from the remnants of an intense orgasm. It took a few minutes before I had the strength to stand. As I reached for the tap to wash my hands I caught sight of myself in the mirror. My eyes were dark and I did look liked I'd just been fucked. Splashing some cold water on my face reduced the flush and I hoped the darkened room would hide the rest. I was still highly aroused but the nervous energy had gone and I felt much calmer and more able to deal with being so close to Ashley.

Xxxx

I was getting a bit worried about Spencer, she'd been quite a while and I must admit I was missing her. When she appeared I shuffled forward so she could slide in behind me, we exchanged smiles as she settled back.

"Everything OK," I whispered as I lay back between her legs.

"Peachy," she muttered as I pulled her arms around me and laid her hands over my stomach before placing mine on top.

"I bet," I couldn't hide the amusement in my voice, she reeked of sex. I knew just what she'd been doing, it seemed she'd taken Austin's suggestion literally.

"Ssssssh!" She growled in my ear and I gasped as she gently bit down on my earlobe.

Seems like Spencer's hormones had come out to play. I chuckled to myself and I wriggled back into her pretending to get comfortable. I couldn't hide my smile as the smallest groan escaped her. I didn't care, I wasn't going anywhere just yet. There was plenty of time to unravel the complexities of Spencer Carlin.

Xxxx

Austin and the others had gone off to bed leaving the sleeping Ashley and I on the large couch. She'd dozed off halfway through the second movie and was curled up against my chest like a little kid. I was loving every minute but I couldn't stay like this all night. I slid out from behind the warm body and considered my options. Alright, decision made I scooped the sleeping girl up in my arms, she was surprisingly heavy but then she had a hell of a lot of muscle on her small frame. I actually struggled a bit to get up the stairs but I'd never admit it to anyone else. I reached her bedroom and kicked the door open. It was pretty messy, it looked like she didn't have much storage yet. I took in the instruments stacked in one corner and the random boxes scattered on the floor.

Walking over to the large bed I carefully laid her down, trying not to wake her. I needn't have worried, she was out like a light. I made her comfortable on the pillows and covered her over with the comforter. When she was settled I sat on the edge of the bed and took a minute to study her unguarded face. She really was so beautiful. She looked younger when her walls were down and her features lost the tenseness that was often present. After a few minutes she turned onto her side and broke my reverie.

As I stood to leave I was confronted with deep brown eyes.

"Stay?" she asked sleepily, I regarded her while wondering about the motivation behind her request. "You make me feel safe," she mumbled as sleep claimed her once again. How could I refuse? Slipping into the bed behind her I pulled the cover over me and lay for a moment. My every fibre was screaming at me to hold her and never let go but I didn't know what she expected. I jumped as she moved again. "Hold me?" Her half awake self asked in a sleep husked voice.

"Sure Ash," the familiar form of her name coming naturally. I turned on my side and draped an arm around her waist. She startled me by snuggling back into me until we were fully spooning. My face was buried in her hair and I noted her even, relaxed breaths.

"I've missed you," the words were so quiet, maybe I'd been mistaken. No, I'd heard correctly just what did it mean? I tried to make sense of her words but before I could analyse their significance her warm body and steady breaths lulled me to sleep.

I tried to leave without disturbing the sleeping brunette who was draped over me. I really hadn't meant to still be here in morning. Sometime during the night our positions had reversed and she was now wrapped around me and boy did it feel good. Every inch of my body was warm and I just lay there enjoying the closeness. This is where I had wanted to be for months, now I was here I didn't want to leave. Ashley's breathing changed, she was waking up and I wanted to be the first thing she saw. As I turned to face her my movements stirred her further from her rest.

Xxxx

As I slowly surfaced I felt relaxed and warm. I hadn't had such a deep natural sleep for a very, very long time. I was confused when I felt a weight in the bed next to me.

"Hey you," I opened my eyes and was met by azure blue. Spencer.

Next on Bringing in Home

'Austin, what the hell happened between Spencer and Ashley last night?' I hissed at my sister.

'Were they naked?' my sister mumbled without opening her eyes.
