<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008080"><div style="text-align: center">When Cole was finally done, she backed away from him until she was sitting on the floor and then stood up and winced. Her back was sore and so were her wrists and knees from being bent over for a long while. She stretched and massaged what she could, nodding at what Cole said. She didn't want to be so...hesitant and so she would probably research stuff and try to get comfortable with this whole thing. She wanted to contact, the intimacy, something that was in part all hers. She had a feeling she and the Major would butt heads every so often, but she was willing to try and adjust to things. She was learning her station between the two of them and needed to separate herself from the daily drive of being in charge and letting someone else have the reins over her while she had them over someone else. It was just...a lot all at once it seemed. But she would pull through. <br/>
<br/>
She ached in her nether regions and it was a bit uncomfortable but the thought of how those aches came to be made her smile just a little bit. Ashlyn slipped on the clothes tossed to her with efficiency and smoothed out her hair, pushing back into place as best she could. If it was a little messy, oh well and hopefully one of the guys would fix whatever was heinously out of place. Her mind buzzed with memories of what happened and looked up with raised brows when Cole said her name before kissing her gently. On instinct, she returned the kiss and listened to what he said in silence, absorbing what he said. She was taken back by it just a little bit. She hadn't expected him to come out and say it. But it was...nice that he wanted her to stay. She pushed some of her hair over her shoulder as she spoke softly, though just a tad huskier than usual because of their activities.<br/>
<br/>
"I know I've been hesitant and I'm trying to resolve it. I don't expect you to hold back because of my own uncertainty- it's preferable that you don't, even if I may not like it at the time. I want this to work out...for many reasons."<br/>
<br/>
She blushed a bit but shrugged casually, speaking what she felt and felt they should hear. She wanted to be apart of it- even if it was technically wrong and against the rules of fraternizing. She wanted something hers, after all, and having them both to please and please her was...unimaginable. She wanted to make memorable memories. For however long it lasted.​</div></span>
