“Mmm! It smells like mangoes,” Spencer bubbled as she turned the soap-shaped bar in her hands, “Oh shit its melting already!” She exclaimed, trying to give it back to her friend.

“No hold it for a sec, Spence, I gotta take the duvet off,” Ashley countered, “it might make a mess.”

Spencer obeyed until the covers were off the bed. Ashley took it and Spencer wiped the oil on her back before laying down on her stomach, pulling up a pillow to rest her head on and settling down expectantly. Massages happened almost every night the girls spent with each other. They traded back and forth for hours sometimes, smoothing each other’s tensions away. Spencer had come to look forward to the weight of Ashley on top of her, firm thighs fitting snugly around her hips.

“Where is it tense?” Ashley began, warming the massage bar between her hands.

“My whole freaking back,” Spence exclaimed into the pillow, “start wherever.”

Ashley gathered Spencer’s silky hair, twisting it and laying it off the taller girl’s shoulder.

“Can I undo your bra, Spence,” Ashley asked, “Its so cute on you- don’t wanna get this massage oil all over it.”

“Oh yeah, sure,” Spence agreed, “I almost forgot.”

Ashley began by sliding her hands firmly up Spencer’s spine, rubbing all over, feeling out the knots. She admired Spencer’s muscles as she worked the tension out of Spencer’s back with strong, gentle guitar-hands.

“That was soo good,” Spencer groaned, “Your turn now.”

Ashley removed her shirt as Spencer sat up. When she had gotten comfy, Spencer put her hair to the side, undid the older girl’s bra and took the massage bar. She rubbed Ashley’s lithe back down, tracing the tattoos gently. The girls traded a few more back rubs, the foot rubs. Spencer received special treatment on her calves, which were tough from bouncing around in practice and at home games. After receiving a final back rub, Spencer switched it up.

“Tummy rub?” Spencer asked, flipping onto her back.

Ashley giggled and complied, taking care to be gentle as she traced the soft outlines of Spencer’s subtle muscles. The mellow girl sighed and her eyes drifted shut under Ashley’s ministrations.

Suddenly, Ashley’s breath was in her ear.

“You awake?” Ashley whispered, not wanting to disturb the girl if she was asleep.
