“So I guess I should remind you who you belong to?” I growled and walked towards her until our bodies touched and she was backed up against the wall.

“And who’s that Davies?” She asked, tangling her hands in my hair and kissing me deeply. The kiss took my breath away for a second but I soon retaliated by shifting my thigh between her leg and rocking up into her centre. A moan broke the kiss and she pulled back for air.

“That would be me,” I smirked as I saw the arousal in her eyes. “Come on,” I tugged at her hand, “time for that walk on the beach.” I pulled two sweaters out of my closet and handed her one then she followed me back outside and down the path to the beach.

“It’s getting colder,” I commented as I pulled on the sweater Ashley had handed me.

“Yeah, not that it means much in L.A.,” Ash agreed as she led the way onto the beach, we paused to remove our shoes, heels just weren’t cutting it right now.

“It’s beautiful here, so quiet,” I breathed as we stood hand in hand on the soft sand, just out of reach of the waves.

“It is, I’ve spent a lot of time here, thinking, watching the sea.”

“Uh, huh, look at the moon,” it was reflecting a path almost to our feet.

“Where do you think it would lead?” Ashley answered as she dipped a toe into the water.

“Nowhere better than here, with you.” I replied without thought. I turned my head at Ashley’s sharp intake of breath. “Just look at you,” I whispered as I absorbed the vision of her face highlighted in the moonlight. “You’re so unbelievably beautiful,” I murmured as I reached up and brushed her cheek with my fingers.

“Awwww, baby,” she leaned into my caress and shyly met my eyes. “You know how to turn a girl to mush don’t you?”

“No, I just want you to love me.” I cupped her face and kissed her in the semi darkness.

I was putty in her hands, no-one but Spencer had ever made me feel like that. My relationship with Maggie had been an extension of our friendship, loving and passionate but none of the romance that Spencer could exude when the mood was right and the mood was right tonight. I melted into the kiss, slowly, softly moving my lips against hers, a dance we’d performed many time but tonight there was something else there, something I couldn’t identify.
