Chapter Fifty – Just Like Heaven

Spencer's POV

I opened my eyes slowly, blinking frequently as the harsh morning light streamed through the slightly parted curtains and right into my still sleepy eyes. I groaned in protest at the start of a new day and snuggled back into the warm body holding tight to me. Her arms were wrapped around my waist, her fingers splayed out over my skin.

Ashley mumbled something incoherently and pulled my back tighter against her front, making her naked body press even more deliciously into mine. I could feel her pressed against every inch of my back with not even a millimeter of space between us. I sighed in contentment and closed my eyes again, just letting the feel and scent of her wash over me and bring me incomparable peace.

Her gentle, warm breath tickled my neck, stirring the strands of blonde hair falling onto my skin as her arms held me firmly as if she was scared I was going to escape in the night. No way in hell was I going anywhere, her arms were the only place I ever wanted to be.

If I had my way I would not ever leave the comfort of her embrace.

I was just starting to drift off to sleep again when I felt soft lips making their way over the tattoo on the back of my neck and up the side of my throat towards my ear. I leaned my head further into the pillow to allow better access for the lips that were making my skin burn.

I felt Ashley smirk against my neck as she continued her trail, making goosebumps rise on my skin. I bit my lip and tangled my fingers with the hand she had pressed against my stomach.

Ashley squeezed my hand and gently rolled me onto my back so she could hover above me. Her big brown eyes were shining as she grinned down at me. I licked my lips in anticipation and gazed up at her. Ashley released my hand and gently swept some lose blonde hair behind my ear, "Good morning Blue," She whispered, her voice husky from sleep and what I am assuming was lust if her almost ebony eyes were anything to go by.

I felt my smile widen as I replied softly, "Good morning to you too Brown."

Ashley's grin widened into her totally heart melting nose crinkling smile as she leaned in slowly and began placing tender kisses on my forehead, cheeks, nose, chin and eye lids, avoiding my lips which were desperate for her kiss.

I groaned in loud protest as she avoided my lips, again, which just made her chuckle softly before capturing my lips in a tender, adoring kiss that literally left me breathless.

Of course, she pretty much always leaves me breathless. Such is the power of Ashley Davies.

I reached up and tangled my fingers in her wild, bed messed, curls and pulled her down onto me. Ashley moaned against my lips as she settled her body between my legs and began exploring my skin with her oh so talented fingers.

If you have never been with a guitarist…well I would highly recommend you remedy that. They sure as hell know what to do with their fingers. I felt my body arch off the mattress and into hers as she mapped out all the places she had found to be particularly receptive to her nimble touch.

Ashley moved her lips from mine and painted a pattern of hot kisses down over my throat to my collar bone. She traced the dips and curves of my chest with her tongue, pausing every so often to nip my skin before soothing it with a gentle kiss.

I whimpered softly in the back of my throat and began tracing the muscles of her back with my finger tips, bringing them up over her shoulders and neck as her lips continued her tender assault.

I teasingly dragged my finger tips down over her back, to her hips and then to her ass, loving the goose bumps that formed and muscles that contracted under my touch. Ashley moaned against the skin of my chest, her warm breath tickling me in the most delicious of ways.

I cupped her perfect ass in my hands and pulled her roughly against me, making our bodies drag against each other with the most incredible friction known to man (or woman, hehe). Ashley let out a deep, guttural moan and raised her lips to mine to kiss me passionately.

I felt this fire, this burning, starting in my lower belly and spreading quickly over my body as her lips danced with mine and her hands explored my over-sensitized skin. I had never reacted quite like this with any other lover.

Ashley stirred feelings and emotions in me that no one, not even Kate, had been able to inspire. She touched me and I saw stars. She kissed me and I felt heaven. She looked at me and I felt more beautiful than I ever had before in my life.

Ashley Davies had the keys to my heart and soul and I knew that no one else could be trusted with them.

Ashley moved her lips down my chest, pausing briefly to smile up into my eyes before capturing my nipple in her mouth. She encased the hardening peak in her lips and tenderly teased it with her tongue.

My eyes rolled back into my head as I flung my head back into the pillow underneath me. I felt a moan tear loudly from my throat as she kissed her way across the valley between my breasts to pay equal attention to my previously neglected nipple.

She kissed her way slowly, purposefully between my nipples, taking time to ravish each one until I was literally sure I was going to explode from all sensations taking over my body. Her mouth sought out and tasted every inch of my breast, which were literally heaving as I struggled to keep breathing.

I felt Ashley's lips leave my breasts and make their way down to my stomach where she let her tongue out to trace the contours of my abs. My muscles quivered under her touch as soft whimpers sounded from the back of my throat.

She kissed her way across my abs to the tattoo on my hip. I felt her smooth her hand across my skin before she traced the inked words with her tongue, making me tremble and writhe as each letter was etched. I gasped as she kissed over the words, never have I been more glad to have tattoos!

Ashley rose up a little and locked her eyes on mine as she traced the inked words with her finger tip, much like she did after the bands first jam session, the day the band got its name…Fear Itself. She bit her lip and lowered her lips back to the inked skin.

I pulled her up to me so I could plunder her mouth with my tongue, tasting her with an urgency that was almost overwhelming. I figured it was time to show her the same attention she had just shown me.

I kissed her hard and then flipped our positions so that I was lying above her. Ashley let out an incredibly sexy growl at the sudden role reversal, which made me smirk down at her. I raised myself up on my arms above her so I could gaze down into her darkening eyes. I reached up and tucked a loose and slightly sweaty curl behind her ear before leaning in and kissing her passionately on her full, kiss swollen lips.

I kissed my way from her lips, along her jaw line to her ear. I traced the shell with my tongue before whispering breathily, "God I love you."

Ashley beamed up at me and grasped the back of neck to pull my lips back to hers. She bit down gently on my lower lip, making me grunt loudly, before she released it to sooth the bite mark with her tongue. I smirked against her lips as we kissed hotly.

I dragged my lips from hers and assaulted her neck with hot, open mouthed kisses. Ashley tilted her head to the side and bit down on her lower lip as my lips and tongue tasted as much of her skin as I could.

I have to tell you that the scent of Ashley, this warm mix of cinnamon and coconut mixed with a uniquely Ashley aroma, was and is the most amazing thing in the world. It is the one smell that instantly calms me and makes me feel safe while at the same time also instantly turns me into a horny teenager that just wants to rip both our clothes off and take her wherever we are.

I traced the veins in her neck with my tongue, biting down gently on her pulse, relishing the loud moan that sounded around my room. I smirked and moved my mouth down her neck in teasing nips and licks until I bit down on the place where her neck met her shoulder.

Ashley threw her head back onto the bed while I moved my lips down across her chest to her heaving breasts. She really does have the most perfect body. She is tanned and toned while being incredibly feminine and soft. Her skin is smooth and always warm to the touch.

I glanced up into her eyes which were now a deep ebony with lust. I smirked widely before leaning in to trace a circle with my tongue around her nipple which hardened at my teasing touch. Ashley writhed beneath me whimpering in protest, "Oh for God's sake Spence, please stop teasing me before I lose my fucking mind!" She gasped out.

I chuckled, letting my warm breath tickle her over sensitized skin. I glanced up into her eyes and kept our gazes locked as I lowered my mouth over her straining nipple. I swirled my tongue around the hardened nub loving the way her body reacted to my touch.

Ashley's eyes slammed shut and her finger tips dug into my shoulder blades as her breathing came out in erratic gasps. I smirked again at the look of ecstasy on her face as I took her nipple in my teeth and bit down gently, earning me a loud gasp and growl.

I must admit having a drop dead gorgeous brunette writhing beneath me is one hell of an ego boost. In fact with her skin on mine there was not a thought in my head that didn't focus completely on her. All thoughts of everything bad and painful that was going on in my life were gone.

I kissed my way across to her other breast, taking the time to tease it the same way I had its partner. I traced my tongue around her satiny skin, making each circle smaller until my tongue was tickling her nipple. Ashley whimpered softly under her breath, moving her hands up to tangle in my hair and holding my head in position against her breast.

I really wasn't planning on going anywhere.

I kissed my way to the valley between her breasts and then began dropping a trail of wet kisses down her sternum to her stomach where I took the time to run my fingers over her well defined abs as my lips tasted the skin beneath her breasts.

I sensually drag my fingers up over her trembling body to her shoulders. From there I trace my finger tips over her collar bone and rise up to kiss her adoringly on the lips. I felt her hand work its way down between our bodies to tease my now soaking, aching centre.

I gasped and dug my fingers into her shoulders as my body collapsed on top of hers, effectively trapping her hand. Ashley grinned up at me and wiggled her fingers, making me moan and her smirk devilishly.

I could feel the wetness growing between my legs as she continued the movement of her trapped fingers. My body was literally trembling as she did amazing things to me considering her trapped status.

I raised myself up on my arms and smiled down at her. Ashley raised her head and kissed a trail up to my ear and whispered throatily, "you are driving me fucking crazy Spence, you need to let me touch you."

I chuckled breathlessly and moved slightly so that I was straddling her hips, giving her full access to my centre. I kissed her hard on the lips and dragged a hand down over her breasts, across her stomach and down between her legs where the evidence of her arousal quickly coated my fingers.

Ashley started up her gentle movement inside of me and I very nearly collapsed on top of her again. I began to tease her before tenderly entering her and mirroring the movement she was making within me.

It took all my restraint not to let my body collapse on top of hers again. She was driving me absolutely fucking crazy, of course crazy in the best possible way. I rested my forehead against her shoulder as I fought to maintain enough control to continue driving her towards her climax when all I wanted to do was succumb to the pleasure coursing through my body.

I felt Ashley's lips on my neck, tracing a scorching path up towards my lips. I raised my head from its resting place and captured her lips in a hungry kiss that was pretty much an inferno of intensity. We kissed until we absolutely could not go without oxygen any longer and then reluctantly separated. I rested my forehead on hers and locked our eyes.

There is something almost spiritual about looking into the eyes of the one you love as you both race towards what will be an intense and epic climax. In her eyes I could see a mirror of what I was feeling. There was lust, desire, pleasure, love and an almost animalistic, predatory look that just made me hot.

I thrust my fingers into her a little harder, making her gasp and slam her eyes shut. I kissed her cheeks, eye lids and lips before moving my lips to her ear to whisper breathlessly, "Open your eyes Brown, I need to see you."

Ashley complied and opened her heavily lidded intoxicating brown eyes to fix them on mine. She bit her lip and arched up into me as our movement inside each other increased. I felt her focusing on going deep rather than fast and mimicked her motions.

Ashley moved her free hand to the back of my neck and brought my lips to hers in a frantic kiss as she curled her fingers inside of me. I moaned into her kiss, gasping as I struggled to hold on until she could fall over the edge with me. "Oh God," I cried out as she repeated her motions.

I kissed her neck and bit down gently as I curled my own fingers within her. Ashley all but screamed out, "Fuck! Oh God Spence." Nice little ego boost for me!

We both increased our pace as our free hands teased and tormented burning skin. I looked down into her eyes and saw her nod, her way of telling me she was there. I kissed her hard and together we tumbled over the edge in one of the most intense and spectacular climaxes I have ever experienced.

I kept the movement of my fingers going until I felt her shudder and tumble over again. Ashley bit down on my lower lip and cried out my name into my kiss.

I slowed my movement, as she gently withdrew her fingers and ran gentle, comforting hands over my sweat slicked back.

I gently settled my trembling body over hers and buried my face in the crook of her neck, letting my tongue out to taste the salty sweetness of her damp skin. Ashley let out a throaty groan as she pulled my body impossibly close to her.

"Wow," She breathed out.

I let out a soft chuckle and just snuggled in closer on top of her. Ashley swept my sweat soaked hair back from my face and leaned in to kiss me lovingly on the forehead, "Seriously Spence, wow. That is one hell of a way to start the day!" Ashley said with a look of wonder on her face.

I hummed my agreement and let my heavy eye lids close. All that intense sex with my girl had worn me out…sleep time.

Ashley's POV

After what I would define as the single most intense sexual encounter of my life, save the first time I made love to Spencer, I held tight to my beautiful one as she rested on top of me.

I kissed her forehead lovingly and stroked the smooth, albeit sweaty, skin of her back as she lay over me. I watched as her big blue eyes grew sleepy and fluttered closed. She snuggled deeper into my embrace as her breathing evened out and sleep claimed her.

Spencer looked so innocent and beautiful as she slept. She lay on top of me, one hand resting on my collar bone and her legs snuggled between mine. I could feel the rise and fall of her chest as she slept and felt complete and total contentment. I stroked her hair back from her face, loving the silky sensation against my fingers.

Spencer Carlin was the epitome of perfection. No one else will ever come close.

I let my own eyes close and smiled as sleep overcame me. I expected I would be having some sweet dreams…

I woke up several hours later alone in Spencer's big bed, tangled up in her soft sheets. The room definitely smelt of sex, which made me chuckle to myself. We had been busy that morning and the night before.

When Spencer said she wanted to forget the trial by getting naked, a part of me thought she was kidding…man am I glad she wasn't! We had made love all night. Some of it was tender and loving, some hot and sensual and some…well some was pretty much animalistic and passionate. All of it was magic.

I heard the subtle sound of piano music filtering down the hallway and smiled to myself. You really couldn't keep my girl away from her music.

I rose from the bed and pulled on the black silk robe that was hanging over the end of the bed. Tying the sash securely around my waist I left the room and wandered down the hallway to her music room. Pausing in the doorway I was met with the most amazing sight. A sight that will forever live in my memory as not only the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, but the fucking hottest sight I had ever seen too.

Spencer was seated at the piano, her eyes closed as a single tear traced her cheek. It was obvious by the transcendent smile on her lips that the tear was anything but sad. Oh and did I mention the fact she was totally naked? That would be where the hot came into it.

I leaned against the door jam, committing the sight to memory. Her fingers danced over the keys as the music soared to magnificent heights as it reached its crescendo. I clasped my hand over my heart and felt tears fill my own eyes. Tears of joy and tears in reaction to the incredible beauty I was privileged enough to witness.

I stood there in silence for a while, although I get the feeling she knew I was there the entire time and was letting me see her like that.

Once Spencer played the last note of her truly breath taking melody she opened her eyes and smiled adoringly at me, "Hello there Sleeping Beauty, did you sleep well?" She purred.

I walked into the room, stepping towards her as my eyes scanned her naked body hungrily. "Uh yeah I slept really well, I always sleep well with you in my arms," I murmured huskily.

Spencer smirked at me, clearly noticing my wandering eyes. I mean hello she was fucking naked and sitting at a piano…that is like my fantasy! "Well that's good, sorry I wasn't there when you woke up I had this urge to play something. Since the trial started I have been neglecting my music a little," She said with a soft smile.

I walked over and sat beside her on the piano stool, wrapping my arms around her bare shoulders, "Its ok Blue, I kind of like what I woke up to, seeing you sitting there at the piano, so raw and so free was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."

Spencer smiled shyly, a slight blush colouring her cheeks, and leant further into me. I leaned over and dropped a sweet kiss on her forehead. Spencer's fingers came up to keys and she began playing random notes, which still sounded like a haunting melody.

I moved my lips until they were resting against her ear and whispered, "Play me something my love." Spencer shivered as my breath tickled her skin and nodded as she nervously bit her lip.

I removed my arm from her shoulders so I didn't get in the way and smiled loving at her as she thought for s moment. Spencer got a teasingly little smirk on her lips as she started playing a tune on the piano.

I instantly recognized the song and beamed at her as she winked and played several bars before she started belting out the lyrics with a cheeky smirk on her lips the whole time,

"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream, she said
The one that makes me laugh, she said
And threw her arms around my neck

Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spencer kept playing and leaned over to peck my cheek, sending me another wink as her fingers raced over the keys. Watching her fingers kind of made me think of all the things those fingers had been doing to me since we stumbled into her apartment the evening before…hot.

"Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow (Spencer totally winked seductively at me when she sang this line)
Why are you so far away? she said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

You're just like a dream"

She played on, her fingers moving across the keys, her talent and passion for the music so evident it made me desperate to have those fingers on me…again. I think Spencer guessed the direction my thoughts had taken, judging from the widening of her smirk and the twinkling in her now navy blue eyes.

I slid my hand onto her bare thigh and beamed at the slight widening of her eyes. Spencer chuckled and began to sing again.

"Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven"

Spencer played the last note and turned slightly to face me. I think she was about to ask me what I thought, but didn't get the chance because my lips were on hers.

I pressed my robed body into her bare one, kissing her deeply as her hands moved to the sash on my borrowed robe. She undid the knot and moved her hands inside of the robe to play my body with her fingers the way they had just played that piano.

I now have a new appreciation of Spencer's music room…and after that weekend every other room in her apartment.

We really did spend the weekend forgetting the trial by being naked…best weekend ever!
