The Wait Is Over

The Morning After

Ashlyn wiped her eyes as she attempted to focus on the attractive woman walking toward her from the bathroom. Once she was in view, a severe pang of guilt washed over her. She knew that last night had been wonderful, but had also been a major slip-up by her. She held herself to blame as the only currently-married one of the two, but something about that look of desire and wanting from Alex tripped her up and she fell completely into her spell. Alex lied down on the bed, her head against Ashlyn's chest and a wide smile across her face.

Alex: Thank you for last night, Ash. After leaving Servando, I thought I could get by with self-management of my libido. Apparently, that isn't true. I know I was a bit forward, and I'm sorry that I never asked you about us sleeping together, but I feel so relieved if you will that you didn't push me away when I made my unspoken approach.

Ashlyn: You know I consider you like my work wife in the soccer world, right? I've thought many times about making love with you, but didn't know how you'd feel about a one-off encounter.

Alex: I have loved you for a while, and it's been hard watching you and Ali grow together and eventually marry and have a family knowing that I was in a way stuck in a dead-end marriage with a guy that I had fallen out of love with a couple of years ago. Even my sponsors had been telling me that I'd do better in the boardroom if I were single, even if it came out that I was bi, than to be tied to a journeyman like Serv.

Ashlyn: I don't know what to tell Ali. I love her, I love Michael, but I also feel something different when I'm with you, like you remind me that I too can be lusted after by someone and that I can turn another woman on.

Alex leaned up and pressed her lips against Ashlyn's. "You're SO hot when you want to be, and seeing you last night made me wet beyond belief. That's why I went after you immediately after we got into the room."

Ashlyn: When you came toward me, my first thought was "I can't do this, I can't do this, not to Ali and not to Michael", but as you kissed your way up to my ear and whispered your desire for me to me, my mind went back to all the times I stopped myself from kissing you, from taking you, from placing my mouth against every part of your naked body and making you come alive under my touch. Because of the trust we'd built over the past ten years or so, I felt like I could ignore my apprehension and give myself to you.

Alex: We can finish this talk later. It's scrimmage day and I for one want to get some extra shooting work in so I can best test Katelyn and AD this afternoon.

Ashlyn: Let me take a shower and then I'll be down for breakfast. Save me a place if you can.

The two got up from the bed and Ashlyn embraced Alex. They shared one last kiss before getting ready for the day at hand.
