A/N: Okay so I guess there's like a thing now that I call the smut curse... in which no one (hardly anyone - thanks to those who did!) reviews chapters that have smut. I'm not sure why. Are you embarrassed? Don't be silly. It just makes me rethink writing smut, ya know? No fears though - there's plenty in this chapter.
Stacie woke up the next morning to the feeling of lips lightly grazing the back of her neck. She was instantly turned on but she stopped herself from turning around and pouncing on the blonde. She kept her eyes closed and tried to keep her breathing regular - she wanted to see where Aubrey was going to go with this.
Aubrey pressed her body against Stacie's, their legs were already tangled together. Stacie felt the swell of Aubrey's breasts against her back and her breathing hitched slightly. Aubrey's lips were still on her neck but the light grazing changed to open mouth kisses until she stopped to lightly bite down.
"I know you're awake," Aubrey murmured.
She snaked her arm around to Stacie's stomach and trailed her hand up her body to lightly cup Stacie's breast. She gently squeezed before taking her nipple between two fingers and tweaking it. Stacie bit her lip to suppress a moan but her breathing was already turning more ragged.
Aubrey slid her body slightly higher against Stacie's back so her lips could reach the edge of her jaw, just below her ear. She swiped her tongue hard over the sensitive spot and Stacie's body jerked slightly. Aubrey's hand was still on her breast. She took Stacie's earlobe in her mouth and flicked it gently.
Stacie could hear Aubrey's own labored breathing with the blonde's mouth on her ear. She wanted to turn and touch her, kiss her - but she stopped herself. Aubrey would let her know when she wanted her to turn around.
The heat that pooled between Stacie's thighs was becoming unbearable. As if Aubrey could read her mind, her hand left her breast and ran down her stomach, circling around her belly button before continuing downward. Aubrey pushed her leg slightly higher between Stacie's so there was enough space between Stacie's thighs for her hand.
Aubrey lightly touched the inside of Stacie's thigh before barely grazing her fingers against her center. Stacie whimpered quietly and Aubrey bit down on the side of her neck in response. Stacie's head flung back when Aubrey finally touched her with purpose.
"You're so wet," Aubrey groaned, swiping her fingers up to circle them around before removing them. Stacie emitted a sort of low whine from the loss of contact.
Aubrey reached for Stacie's hand, grabbing it and sliding it down the brunette's body. "Touch yourself for me," Aubrey murmured directly into Stacie's ear.
"Fuck," Stacie breathed. Aubrey kept her hand lightly on top of Stacie's while the brunette felt for herself how wet she was. When Aubrey was satisfied that Stacie had listened, she snaked her hand to the brunette's breast and played with her nipple.
Stacie's breath came out in light pants as she touched herself. Her hips started moving against her hand. Aubrey's hand left her breast and briefly touched her thigh before going between her legs and entering her quickly with two fingers. Stacie moaned and arched her back against Aubrey's front.
Aubrey kept pumping her fingers in and out, eventually adding a third and curling them inside of her. Stacie bit her lip to keep from yelling out.
"Aubrey," Stacie panted. The blonde knew it was to warn her. She felt how close Stacie was. Aubrey entered her hard one last time before removing her fingers and pushing Stacie's hand out of the way to replace it with her own. Stacie turned her head into her pillow to stifle her moan as her body spasmed. Aubrey slowed her movements as Stacie's body relaxed.
Aubrey moved her arm to wrap around Stacie's waist and started giving her small kisses on her shoulder. Stacie sighed contentedly.
"You're going to have to wake me up like that every morning." Aubrey froze, her lips paused mid-kiss on Stacie's shoulder. Stacie's stomach clenched. She was still coming down from a high and didn't think it was fair to be held responsible for what she was saying.
So she chose to ignore the moment and do what she does best. She turned and captured Aubrey's lips, pushing the blonde onto her back and covering her with her body. Aubrey quickly reciprocated the kiss but she didn't forget what Stacie had said, or how it made her feel like her heart was going to explode when her mind flashed to an image of Stacie waking up in her bed morning after morning.
"It's our last day here. What are we going to do?" Chloe asked. The girls, minus CR, Denise and Lilly, were sitting at a table in a little cafe at the base of the skiing hills. It was a lot colder today than it had been previously and the girls were working up enough warmth to go outside.
"We're going to go sledding!" Jessica said, motioning to Ashley and Amy.
"I think I want to try snowboarding again - you know, now that I'm a professional and all." Stacie said with a grin.
"It's going to a be a real shame if you break yourself on the last day," Aubrey smirked. "I'd appreciate it if you made it back to Barden in one piece." Stacie raised her eyebrows and Aubrey stuck out her tongue.
"I want to try snowboarding, too," Beca said. Chloe looked at her skeptically. Everyone knew this could go horribly wrong.
"I think I'll stick to skis," Chloe replied. Aubrey nodded in agreement.
A barista approached the table as the girls continued to talk with a mug topped high with whipped cream. He looked slightly nervous and out of his element. He went to Aubrey's side and placed the mug in front of her, getting her attention for the first time.
"The gentleman over there," the barista motioned to Aubrey's opposite side, "asked that I refill your order for you."
Stacie's head whipped in the direction the barista was pointing and saw a guy slightly older than them, wearing an impeccable outfit with hair perfectly styled. He looked like he just stepped out of a magazine advertising ski wear. He also looked, Stacie thought, like a cocky tool.
She felt the rumblings of something unsettling in the pit of her stomach, which only intensified greatly when she watched Aubrey give him a coy smile. Her cheeks had reddened slightly.
"You can't drink that," Stacie said to Aubrey somewhat forcefully. "You have to send it back."
"Why can't she? He's cute," Jessica said as she glanced quickly over in that direction.
"He'll think you're interested if you drink that. That's how it works."
"I know how it works," Aubrey said, her eyes shifting slightly to Stacie before moving to Chloe. Chloe was staying uncharacteristically quiet as she watched the exchange. "I don't want to be mean or anything. He looks nice."
Stacie clenched her fists slightly under the table. She'd never felt like this with anyone before - this desperate need to make it known that Aubrey was hers and to smack anyone who was threatening that. She felt like someone was clawing at the inside of her stomach. She looked over at the guy again and glared at him.
Aubrey stood, taking the mug with her to the counter. Stacie felt a little wave of relief as she watched Aubrey put the untouched mug down for a barista to take. The relief didn't last long though because suddenly the guy who sent it was right there, trapping Aubrey in conversation. Stacie couldn't look away from Aubrey even though the rest of the girls were talking obliviously around her.
Aubrey smiled and Stacie's stomach clenched. When she watched Aubrey laugh, she couldn't look anymore. She quickly stood up.
"Come on, Becs. Let's get you a snowboard." Stacie turned towards Chloe. "We'll be on the hill if you want to find us."
Stacie grabbed Beca's hand and pulled her away from the table. She refused to let herself look back at Aubrey.
"Ow, dude. Stop. I'm not a ragdoll you can drag behind you." Stacie dropped Beca's hand as they got towards the snowboards and Beca rubbed her wrist where Stacie had grabbed her.
"Sorry," Stacie mumbled distractedly.
"Um-" Beca shuffled her feet, "-do you want to talk about it or something?"
"Talk about what?" Stacie forced a smile.
"K, your face looks really creepy when you do that, stop. And I'm talking about that little situation back there with Aubrey."
"What situation?" Stacie became engrossed in looking over the snowboard options.
Beca rolled her eyes. "The situation where you looked like you were going to murder a complete stranger for giving hot chocolate to Aubrey."
"Like you wouldn't have looked at him the same way if it was Chloe he was hitting on."
"Yeah, that's different. Chloe's my girlfriend."
"Yeah-" Stacie started and then paused, swallowing hard. "You're right. It's different."
Beca grabbed Stacie's arm and forced the taller girl to look at her. "Did something happen between you guys?"
"Maybe," Stacie admitted. "But do not tell Chloe or I will kill you. No more questions, pick a snowboard."
Beca and Stacie got fitted for their boards. The tiny brunette punched Stacie in the shoulder when she suggested that maybe she should get a kids snowboard to use. The guy who was helping them was sort of cute and Stacie noticed immediately how he was looking at her. It made her feel good and she decided to have a little fun with it.
After listening to Beca talk about how she had no idea what she was doing, the guy (who introduced himself as Jesse) said his shift was ending and he wouldn't mind going out with them and showing them the basics. When Stacie smiled brightly at him and said she'd love for him to teach her some techniques, Beca shot her a look.
"This is horrible idea," Beca said under her breath as they followed him to the hills.
They had just gotten to the top of the hill and Jesse was showing them how to distribute their body weight properly to stay balanced when Chloe and Aubrey showed up on their skis. Stacie gave Aubrey the cold shoulder when she tried to get her attention.
"This is Jesse. He's being so awesome and using his time off to help show us how to snowboard," Stacie said, grinning at Jesse.
Aubrey watched how Jesse looked at Stacie and felt her temperature rise. Stacie went to stand in front of him and put his hands on her waist.
"Show me how to stand when I'm going down," Stacie said. Aubrey could hear the flirty tone in her voice and she couldn't decide it she wanted to kill Jesse, kill Stacie or just puke somewhere. She could puke on Jesse, she thought.
Aubrey isn't new to feelings of jealousy but they've never hit her this strongly before. She didn't realize that she had been standing there staring until she felt Beca at her side. She glanced at her quickly before returning her eyes to Stacie. Beca doesn't normally approach her - that's not how their relationship works.
"I'm not meddling," Beca said in a low voice, out of reach of Stacie's ear. "I don't meddle."
"... okay?"
"But left to her own devices, Stacie will fuck everything up." Aubrey finally shifted her eyes to look at the tiny brunette. "This isn't what it looks like. She just doesn't handle jealousy well. I don't think she's ever actually been jealous before. And that's all I'm saying."
Before Aubrey had a chance to respond, Beca stumbled away, planting her unlatched foot heavily in the snow with each step so she didn't fall. Aubrey's mind raced to earlier and she thought for the first time about the situation in the cafe and how things looked from Stacie's perspective. Aubrey wasn't into that guy at all - it never even crossed her mind to be into him - but that didn't mean she wanted to be rude.
She had smiled nicely, laughed at a lame joke and politely told him that she wasn't available. No matter what Stacie decided would come of whatever they were doing, Aubrey didn't feel available. She didn't want to be available.
She couldn't watch Stacie interact with this guy anymore.
She got closer to the group and met Chloe's eyes.
"What's wrong?" Chloe asked, a look of concern on her face. Stacie finally looked at her and Aubrey held her eyes.
"I don't feel well all of the sudden," she said, clearing her throat. "Stacie, will you take me back to the cabin, please?"
Aubrey didn't talk to Stacie on the way back to the cabin. Stacie got a nervous feeling in the pit of her stomach. She wouldn't blame Aubrey for being mad - she didn't know what they were but she knew how she felt when she saw Aubrey with that guy and she wasn't even blatantly flirting like Stacie was. Stacie chewed her lip, trying to think of a way to make it better.
When they got inside the cabin, Aubrey threw off her hat and coat and kicked off her boots. She walked upstairs.
"Bree, wait," Stacie called after her, hurrying to take off her coat and boots. "Aubrey!"
Stacie hurried up the stairs to the bedroom, where she assumed Aubrey had gone. The door was open and she walked in but didn't see the blonde until lips were on hers and her back was pushed up against the door, closing it. Stacie moaned into the kiss and put her hands on Aubrey's hips.
Aubrey pulled Stacie's hands off of her and pinned them to the surface on each side of her head. Both of them were panting when Aubrey pulled her lips from Stacie's to move them along her jaw. Aubrey licked down the brunette's neck and back up before attaching her lips on her pulsepoint and sucking. Stacie knew she was going to leave a mark but she didn't care.
When Aubrey bit down, Stacie let out the breath that filled her lungs in a hiss. "Do you know," Aubrey paused to flatten her tongue against the bite mark, "how I felt watching you flirt with that guy?" Stacie whimpered as Aubrey found a new place on her neck to leave a mark.
"And having to watch how he was looking at you-" Aubrey kept her lips on Stacie's neck and moved her leg between Stacie's. "And not being able to tell him," Aubrey pressed her thigh hard into Stacie causing the brunette to moan, "that you're mine," Aubrey growled lowly into Stacie's ear.
Stacie's legs almost stopped supporting her body. Heat pooled between her thighs where Aubrey's leg was still pressed. The blonde dropped Stacie's hands and swiftly brought her own to the bottom of the brunette's shirt, lifting it up and over her head. Aubrey placed her lips on Stacie's chest, just over her heart, and lightly sucked while her hands trailed down her body until they got to the button of her jeans.
Aubrey quickly unbuttoned and unzipped Stacie's jeans, and yanked them down. Stacie kicked them off. The blonde stepped back for a second to admire the body in front of her. She looked at Stacie's matching purple lingerie, watched her chest quickly rising and falling, noticed how flushed her face was.
Stacie stayed against the wall as Aubrey looked her over. She watched the blonde reach for her shirt and pull it over her head in one fluid motion. Aubrey's eyes stayed locked on her as she slowly unbuttoned her jeans and peeled them off, leaving her in just her red lingerie. Stacie's breath caught in her throat looking at her. Her blonde hair was down and slightly messy, her cheeks were pink and her eyes shined a brighter green than normal.
Aubrey came forward and placed her hands on Stacie's hips as she kissed her. When Stacie took Aubrey's bottom lip between her teeth, the blonde pulled away before quickly returning and taking control, exploring Stacie's mouth with her tongue.
Aubrey ran her hand just above Stacie's underwear. She hooked her thumbs inside the fabric and slowly pulled it down as she trailed her lips down Stacie's body. Aubrey got on her knees and pushed Stacie's legs farther apart. She kissed the inside of Stacie's thigh and listened to the brunette whimper above her. Aubrey moved to Stacie's other thigh and repeated the light kiss.
"Aubrey," Stacie whined.
"Tell me," Aubrey commanded. Stacie could feel her breath between her thighs. "Tell me you're mine."
"Oh, god," Stacie moaned, "I'm yours."
Aubrey put her mouth on Stacie and the brunette buried her hands in her hair, arching her back off the wall. Stacie had to focus a lot of her energy on making sure her legs wouldn't give out. She held Aubrey's head against her and couldn't help when her hips starting moving against her mouth.
"Fuck, Aubrey," Stacie breathed as her legs began shaking in an effort to hold her up. Aubrey concentrated her efforts until Stacie tensed and released, moaning nonsensical sounds.
Stacie would have probably slid down the wall in a heap afterwards if Aubrey hadn't stood and held her pressed up against the surface. She kissed the brunette hard. When Stacie recovered a little more, she grabbed Aubrey by the waist and pushed her towards the bed.
Stacie pushed Aubrey down and straddled her before straightening and removing her own bra. She removed Aubrey's quickly and then pulled down her underwear, figuring enough time had been wasted on foreplay.
Stacie hovered over Aubrey and took one of her nipples in her mouth. She let her hand lightly graze Aubrey's center, earning a frustrated groan from the blonde. Aubrey moved her hips up off the bed to try to get them to meet Stacie's hand, but the brunette pulled it away.
She softly teased Aubrey again, barely touching her, until Aubrey whimpered.
Stacie brought her mouth to Aubrey's ear. "If I'm yours," she murmured, "then you're mine." Stacie's voice took on a rough edge. "Say it."
Aubrey moved her head to the side to kiss Stacie but she pulled away. The blonde gasped into a moan as Stacie entered her quickly with two fingers. She held them there, not giving in to the movements of Aubrey's hips.
"Say it," Stacie growled.
"I'm yours, I'm yours," Aubrey said quickly, moaning as Stacie began pumping her fingers in and out of her. She took Aubrey's nipple in her mouth and flicked it with her tongue.
Aubrey yelled out when Stacie adjusted her hand to allow her thumb to slide up and begin circling her bundle of nerves. The brunette could feel Aubrey tightening around her fingers. She moved up and put her lips on Aubrey's.
"I'm yours," Aubrey moaned into Stacie's mouth as she came undone.
