A/N: Thank you for the well wishes for my trip. LA was wonderful as always. I'm headed back mid-December. LOVE IT!! I appreciate all of the reviews...means the world to me. Looks like I have one more to wrap this up with a pretty little bow around it. Hope it's been worth your time in reading. I have enjoyed writing it and am hoping to publish again VERY soon. As always, let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: Own nothing but the storyline...and that's enough for me!

After having followed Spencer through her dad's house, Ashley now found herself pinned to the closed bathroom door with a warm pair of lips branding every part of her neck.

"Spencer…wait," Ashley squeaked out.

The blonde pulled back slightly, never fully releasing Ashley from her grip and looked at the brunette with questioning eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Ashley's chest puffed up and down as she fought to bring her heart rate back to a normal pace. She flicked her tongue out across her bottom lip to moisten it and then slowly grinned at the girl in front of her. Backing her up to the counter, she slid her arms around the petite waist of her blonde love and hoisted her up onto the vanity.

"This is about you, remember? You wanted me," Ashley pointed to herself, "inside of you," she finished…poking Spencer in the chest.

Spencer's breath hitched in her throat at the huskiness in Ashley's voice. She did want to feel her girlfriend again, and she knew they had little time, so she just nodded her head in agreement for sake of time.

Ashley slid the dress up around Spencer's hips and peeled off the offending garment below, quickly leaning forward and running her tongue through the folds of the girl she loved.

Spencer's head fell back immediately as Ashley sucked and flicked at her swollen nub. She gripped the side of the counter with her right hand, while the left one drug across the mirror on the cabinet next to her. She could feel the end of the faucet digging into her lower back as she pressed herself forward into Ashley's mouth, ignoring the pain the metal object was causing.

"Christ, Ashley," Spencer breathed out, as the brunette between her legs quickly entered her with two fingers.

"Mmmm…I missed how you taste," Ashley confessed as she kissed Spencer soundly, all the while pumping two fingers in and out of the blonde at a fairly rapid pace.

Spencer bit down on the brunette's bottom lip as Ashley slipped another digit inside.

"God, harder Ash…"

"It feels so good to be so deep inside you Spencer."

Spencer's head was swimming with heat and light as she focused on the voice in her ear. She could feel Ashley pushing deeper with every thrust.

"Uhhhnnn…keep talking to me Ash…I love when you talk to me."

"Mmm…do you like me being this deep inside of you Spence?"

The blonde could do nothing but nod as she reached out for the mirror once again, this time leaving a smoldering print on the glass.

"I used to dream about this every night while we were apart," Ashley husked. "Sometimes, I could still taste you on my tongue…mmm…then I'd be two fingers deep inside myself, picturing your face the whole time I got off."

"Oh God…don't stop baby…please," Spencer begged, realizing she had wrapped one leg around Ashley's waist to pull her even closer.

"I will do this every day for the rest of my life if you let me Spence," Ashley admitted, curling her fingers inside the blonde, lightly stroking the spot that would drive Spencer over the edge.

"FUCK! Ash… Ash...ooooohhh," Spencer moaned out repetitively as she felt her body tense around Ashley's fingers, and start bucking down into the counter in a delicious rhythm.

"That's right baby…keep coating my fingers. I can't wait to lick them clean."

Spencer slumped down onto the counter, slowly coming down from her high, as Ashley slowly, and torturously, withdrew from her. She watched the girl that she loved bring her fingers to her mouth and start to lick them clean. Feeling herself getting warm again, she leaned forward, grabbing Ashley's hand and enveloping a finger she could suck clean as well.

Spencer's eyes drifted to the clock on the wall. "12 minutes Ash, I'm proud of you," she stated, running a finger down her lover's arm.

Ashley smirked, before dropping her head between Spencer's legs once more and slowly licking her from hole to nub.

"Aaassshhhh…what…what are you doing?"

Ashley smiled against her lover's warm core and simply mumbled, "I'm helping you clean up for the last three minutes."

Spencer ran both hands through brunette curls as her lover continued to lick and suckle her at a soft and slow pace. Not hard enough to really ignite another blazing fire, but just enough for the warmth to rage low in her belly.

After circling the blonde's entrance once last time, Ashley placed a firm kiss to Spencer's clit and then stood, pulling the girl into her arms.

"I love you so much Ash," Spencer confessed.

Ashley pulled back slightly, smiling and reaching for Spencer's discarded garment.

"Well, judging by the last 15 minutes or so, I'd say I have a bit of an idea how happy you are Spence," Ashley responded, slowly slipping the blonde's underwear back up her legs and into place.

Spencer smiled, pulling the brunette against her and holding on for dear life.

"I missed you too, Spence…and I am very happy to finally begin my life again. This time with the person I love the most."

Spencer nodded, pulling away from her lover.

"So, can I officially call you my girlfriend now?" the blonde smirked.

Ashley grinned, shaking her head at the girl in front of her. "You most certainly can."

They both laughed before Spencer pulled the door open and started to take a step out, Ashley placing her hand on the blonde's lower back.

"Oww…" Spencer hissed, jerking forward a bit.

Ashley immediately withdrew her hand and furrowed her brows. Grabbing for the blonde's shirt, she pulled it up slightly and winced at the nasty mark tainting perfect skin.

"Jesus Spencer, what the fuck happened?"

Spencer scoffed, looking at her girl with dumbfounded eyes. "Umm, that is from the bathroom faucet you just had me shoved against."

Ashley eyed her cautiously, before tracing her fingers over the still warm markings. Realization dawned on her quickly and she immediately shook her head in shame.

"I am SO sorry, Spencer. Seriously, why didn't you push me back or something, we could have found a different way…I mean…this was so not necessary…I mean, God…" the blonde attached her lips to the rambling girl in front of her, effectively silencing her for the time being.

Pulling back a few seconds later, Spencer just grinned at the love and guilt in Ashley's eyes.

"Baby, I couldn't even think about that at the time. I was a little pre-occupied at the moment, so any pain I feel is just now surfacing. Besides, I wouldn't have stopped you for all the money in the world," she purred, pulling Ashley toward the stairs and back down into the living room.

"I'm still sorry," Ashley quietly offered.

"I know you are Ash, and it's totally okay. Trust me."

The girls headed to the back patio where they found Mr. Carlin and Kyla sitting at the table, drinks in hand, laughing whole-heartedly.

"What's so funny, Dad?"

Arthur looked up, meeting his daughter's eyes before just giggling even more.

"Okay, seriously," Ashley stated. "What are you two so giddy about?"

Ashley stood her ground, eyebrows raised, as she stared at her sister, awaiting an answer.

Kyla's giggles died down and she grabbed Ashley's hand, pulling her over and onto her lap.

"We were just talking bets, Ash…about how long you two would be gone before you came back thinking we wouldn't know what you were gone doing," Kyla confessed. "And trust…I KNOW what you two were doing."

Arthur started laughing again, while Spencer's face turned bright red.

"This is disturbing," Spencer stated. "I'm not going to listen to my own dad laugh about my sex life."

Just as Arthur opened his mouth to respond, Spencer shook her head, sticking her fingers in her ears and singing "Oh my darling, Clementine."

Ashley even started laughing at Spencer's response, but stood up from Kyla's lap and pulled Spencer down onto her own in the chair next to her sister.

"Oh stop baby, your dad's no dummy," Ashley teased, winking in Arthur's direction.

Spencer winced a bit and tentatively leaned forward on Ashley's lap.

"You okay, Spencer?" Arthur inquired.

Spencer just nodded, before tucking her head into the side of Ashley's neck.

Kyla looked at her sister, questioning her with her eyes before Ashley pointed to the blonde's back and shrugged, wiggling her eyebrows a bit.

Kyla burst out laughing at Ashley's reaction, causing her sister to giggle some as well.

"Ashhhhh..." Spencer whined. "Are you serious with this? Can't you just leave some things unanswered?"

Giggling at her lover, Ashley placed a soft kiss on Spencer's head.

"Not when they involve you baby girl. I'll tell the world everything they want to know. No details spared."

Spencer raised her head, looking over at her father, who was paying close attention to Ashley's speech.

"Dad, you better plug your ears and start singing too if she decides to follow-through with her word," Spencer deadpanned.

"Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darrrrrrrrlin, Clementine," Kyla sang.
