The next morning, Quinn slowly came to consciousness feeling cocooned in a warm safe embrace, and a light vibration against her back. As the cheerleader shifted, she felt something hard poke her from behind. Snapping her eyes open, Quinn realized that she was in Ray's room, still in the Quarterback's bed, and the taller teen was purring. Quinn looked around the room and seen that the two couches were once again couches and that the other three teens were not in the room and neither was Beth. As Quinn attempted to disentangle herself from Ray's embrace, the Quarterback made a disgruntled sound and pulled Quinn tighter against her. Quinn found herself suppressing a moan as Ray's morning wood ground into her ass.

"Ray, you gotta let me up. We need to get up and get ready for school."

Ray made a sound that could only be described as petulant as she rolled on to her back. Quinn laughed softly at the Quarterback before finally getting up and quickly making her way to Ray's washroom. When Quinn stepped out of the bathroom she smiled at the image before her. Ray was still laying on her back, one leg raised at the knee, one had carelessly across her stomach while the other was raised above her head. A slow lazy smile crept across Ray's face as Quinn stared.

"You're staring Quinn." Ray softly stated a few moments later, not even bothering to open her eyes.

"So you are awake then."

"Mmhmm."

"You going to get up?"

"I will once you've gone back to your room to shower and dress. I have something that I need to take care of, and I don't think you're ready for that in the slightest."

Quinn blushed at Ray's implication. She had been used to waking up with Finn grinding his morning wood into her ass every morning and then his subsequent whining when she refused to help him with it, but with Ray's simple explanation that she was, well being a gentleman, waiting for Quinn to leave the room before doing anything, it caused the head cheerleader to blush. Quinn had to clear her throat before replying.

"Ok. I'll, uh, I'll see you downstairs for breakfast then."

Ray nodded and watched as Quinn left her room. What Ray hadn't told Quinn was that she had been fighting her primal side. Ray's vampire instincts were screaming at her to make the cheerleader hers and that was what Ray had been referring to when she told Quinn that Quinn wasn't ready. Sighing Ray blindly reaches for the herbal cigarettes she keeps in her night stand. Quickly lighting one Ray inhales deeply to calm her primal side. She had loved having had Quinn in her arms, her human side hadn't imagined how good it would feel, her vampire side had been purring in ecstasy when surrounded by Quinn's scent.

Ray smoked two of her herbals before she had calmed her inner beast. 30 minutes later, Ray was showered and dressed and found her way downstairs. Carol had already come to pick Beth up and take the tiny tot to daycare while Ray had been in the shower. Puck had made breakfast as usual, and had made breakfast burritos for Ray knowing it was going to take her a bit longer than everyone else. He had also packed a few to go for his twin as well. He frowned slightly as he watched Ray guzzle two cups of coffee and when he looked a little closer he could see that she was stoned. He raised an eyebrow when he caught her gaze but Ray shook her head. Walking out to the garage Ray decides to drive the jeep to school. As she is scanning through the cd's, she finally comes across one marked 'old skool 90's 1&2 hit wonders'. Popping the disc into the stereo she laughed as Snow's Informer started playing.

While Ray was sitting in her jeep waiting for her brother, Quinn was in sitting in Santana's car going over the conversation that she had had with her two best friends. Brittany had told her to go with her feelings, after Quinn had described how she had felt when she had first woke up, which led to Santana teasing her captain with crude remarks and had even caused Quinn to growl under breath when her second in command had asked how big Ray really was. Quinn watched as the twins pulled out, barely registering that Both Brittany and Santana had gotten in the car when Santana pulled out moments later.

"Look Q after last night I can tell that you have a big thing for Ray, more than your willing to admit out loud at the moment." Santana began, startling Quinn out of her reverie. "Britt here filled me in how her and Ray were fake dating and why. I have apologized to her for being a world class ass and making her feel the way I did. They both have changed their Facebook status to single. The reason I'm telling you this, is so you know that you have a clear shot at Ray without it seeming like to those idiots that we go to school with, that either of them are cheating, or that you are a 'homewrecker."

Brittany had turned in her seat to face Quinn while Santana had been talking.

"I know you're afraid Quinn. Afraid of your feelings after having been stuck in a relationship with Finn. We both know that you only stayed with him for as long as you did was for Beth. You were stuck with a moron who only saw you as a boost in his popularity. When you first had Beth, he would complain all the time that you weren't giving him enough attention and that you weren't putting out. He eventually began fucking a couple of the baby Cheerios before you two broke up the first time. As soon as you lost the baby weight and made head cheerleader at the end of last year he came crawling back and you took him back for Beth."

Quinn nodded mutely in agreement to what the normally bubbly blonde was saying.

"Ok then." Brittany continued at Quinn's nod. "With Ray you don't have to worry about her using you for popularity as she doesn't care about that and currently she's the starting Quarterback and Captain of the football team. No not everyone will accept her as popular because she's intersex, but again, Ray doesn't care. She loves you Quinn, genuinely loves you for you. The way I see it, correction the way we see it," Brittany corrected with an eye roll at Santana's throat clearing. "You can continue to be afraid and hide, or, when we get to the school you can get out of the car and go claim your girl."

Quinn smiled softly at the thought of Ray being her girl and blushes at Santana's muttered "Wanky". She fishes her phone out of her bag when it beeps indicating a new text. She typed out a quick reply before putting it away once again.

"You don't need to stop at the LimaBean S. The twins already grabbed coffee for us. Those two are serious speed demons, it's a wonder that they haven't gotten a ticket."

"How did they even know my order?"

"I told them San." Britt chirped out in her bubbly tone.

"Whateve's. As long as it's right, otherwise Imma let Snixx loose on someones ass." The feisty cheerleader grumbled.

Ten minutes later the trio pulled into the school parking lot parking beside Ray's jeep . Quinn took a deep breath and got out of the car slowly. She watched in amusement as Santana snatched the coffee from Puck's hand and muttered about caffeinated goodness. Quinn watched as a couple of baby Cheerios came over and began to flirt with both Puck and Ray. Quinn let out a possessive growl as the bond tugged hard as she watched the one baby Cheerio fawn over the Quarterback. Touching and stroking her hands up and down Ray's arm. Setting her bag on top of the hood of Santana's car, Quinn stalked her way over to Ray. Not sparing a glance at the baby Cheerio that was molesting Ray's arm, Quinn grabbed two fistfuls of Ray's letterman jacket collar and jerked the Quarterback's head down in a searing kiss. Ray was caught off guard but when Quinn's hand snaked its way into her hair, Ray immediately wrapped her arms around Quinn, pulling the head cheerleader against her as she returned the kiss. Feeling Quinn lightly licking her bottom lip, Ray immediately granted Quinn access, her tongue meeting the cheerleaders in a gentle caress, giving Quinn control. Soon breathing became an issue and Quinn pulled away from the kiss causing Ray to let out a low disgruntled growl that quickly turned into a low moan as Quinn began to kiss and suck on Ray's neck. As Quinn began to suck a little harder, Ray's inner beast began to purr in satisfaction because their mate was marking them. Ray moved a hand to the back of Quinn's head, careful to not mess up the tight high pony, and gently holding Quinn in place while her other hand moved from Quinn's waist to gently cup the cheerleader's ass, fingers flexing in pleasure as Quinn claimed her in front of their peers. Once Quinn was satisfied with the size and how dark the hickey was, she moved to claim Ray's mouth once again. Ray let out another low growl that Quinn found utterly sexy knowing she had caused the Quarterback to react like that to her. They broke apart hearing catcalls and wolf whistles from their friends. Quinn looked into Ray's eyes and felt a smug satisfaction at seeing her pupils blown with lust and desire.

"You Ray Puckerman-Berry are MINE." Quinn growled out as she once again grabbed the front of Ray's letterman for emphasis.

Ray's inner beast roared in approval and wanted to further claim Quinn, but Ray's humanity won out after reasoning that nobody but them should see their mate naked. While the inner battle was happening Ray smiled widely at Quinn.

"I've always been yours Quinn. However," Ray noticed Quinn's frown at 'however' and stopped to plant a chaste kiss on her lips before continuing. "To make this official, Quinn Fabray will you be my girlfriend?" Ray asked pulling out her old class ring from freshman year. It no longer fit her finger but would fit Quinn's.

Quinn slipped the ring onto her middle finger before throwing her arms around the Quarterback's neck and hugged her tight. Normally Quinn would have been more reserved, controlled with her reaction, but as Brittany had said, well not in so many words but still, that Quinn had to stop hiding and not be afraid.

"Is that a yes?" Ray asked teasingly.

"Yes you ridiculously cheesy romantic idiot, that was a 'yes I will be your girlfriend.'"

Ray just grinned at Quinn's sarcasm and reached for the hazelnut latte that she had gotten for the girl, letting its scent waft over Quinn. Finally noticing the cafeine, Quinn grabs the the latte from Ray and turns around to lean back against Ray. Chuckling softly Ray wraps an arm around Quinn's waist, before drinking her own Cafe Mocha that her brother had spiked for her to help aid in her healing.

"Holy Shit, that was quick." Santana blurted out five minutes later as she stared at her phone.

"What was?" Puck asked.

"JBI uploaded FaBerry's little makeout session that happened and posted it on his blog."

Ray instinctively let out a low snarl at the thought of her mate's privacy being violated even though their little makeout happened in public. Quinn ran a calming hand along Ray's arm that was around her waist.

"I'm ok with it baby. This was, now everyone in school knows you're mine." Quinn said softly.

Ray bent her neck a little and nuzzled Quinn's neck. "Thank you Quinn. But more importantly they know that you are no longer single. They don't care about me. Those baby Cheerios earlier were only all over me because I'm the starting QB and football captain." Ray whispered.

Quinn frowned at slightly at Ray's words, as they were an echo of what Brittany had said in the car. The head cheerleader would let it go for now, but made a mental note to talk to Ray about it later.

"C'mon, we've got to get going." Puck stated quietly breaking the momentary silence. Ray nodded and reluctantly let go of Quinn's waist and quickly grabbed her girlfriends bag before holding out her hand and smiled when Quinn quickly took it. The group of friends walked into the school and ignored the stares and whispers. They grabbed their books from their lockers and went to their morning classes.
