Ashley wasn’t sure what to think. From what she saw, although the phone call didn’t precisely upset Bryce, it brought on a seriousness she had not witnessed before. Although Ashley was aware from their experiences three days ago that the woman was a Marine, the reality of what that meant overall hadn’t really crossed her mind. As in, there wasn’t any connecting the dots that Bryce could still be active in the military. If that is the case, how can she be running around Los Angeles with me? she wondered with a frown. It must have something to do with her taking care of her dad before he died. But does that mean she has to go back?

Regardless of the reason, it was clear they needed to talk about the situation. The question was when. If Bryce wasn’t ready, she wouldn’t push her. When the woman was willing, they would work through whatever was going on. Turning her head, Ashley saw through the patio doors and watched Bryce lower the phone from her ear, staring at it as if not sure what to do next. Ashley decided maybe it was time she refilled her glass of iced tea. And see if Bryce wants to talk about anything.

As she approached the doors, Bryce hadn’t seen her yet, and Ashley could observe her. There were so many things she liked about the woman. Until that moment though, Ashley hadn’t considered her military bearing being a big part of the attraction. Levelheaded. Confident. Strong. But let’s not forget sexy, she thought. There was a tenderness to Bryce whenever they kissed, but a definite hunger too. So much heat. She wondered how long they would stay with Tess and have separate bedrooms. Every night, after making out on the couch for hours, they separated, leaving Ashley with an ache inside her. If things kept going like they were, something would have to give soon.

Not that Ashley was quick to jump into bed with someone, but the chemistry between the two of them was hard to deny. Even after only a few days, she connected to Bryce in a way she never had with anyone else. They got each other’s jokes and seemed to like so many of the same things. Still, that didn’t necessarily mean they needed to sleep together, and as Ashley walked toward the house, she resolved to keep working on getting to know Bryce before taking all her clothes off.

Finally noticing Ashley as she neared the door, Bryce smiled. “Hey,” she said. “Had enough sun?”

Deciding she wasn’t quite ready to talk about anything serious yet, Ashley closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around Bryce’s shoulders. “I came in for more tea,” she said. “But if you’re done at the pool for the day, I’m okay with that too.”

Bryce put her hands on Ashley’s hips and pulled her closer. “Whatever you want,” she said, leaning in to kiss her. The caress was a gentle brush across her lips but with a promise of more behind the touch.
