Brooke returned Ashley's smile, feeling less awkward, now that she knew Ashley really didn't mind her being with them.  "That means a lot, coming from you," she said, bringing  her arms up to circle around Ashley's back as she kissed her, running her palms lightly up and down her smooth skin.  She giggled at Ashley's comment about Mike, nodding without hesitation.  "He can be, more often than not," she grinned.  "Oh well, I don't feel sorry for him," she said, bringing her lips back to Ashley's and pulling her closer, her fingers moving up to run through Ashley's hair in a gesture that was both affectionate and attempting to be sensual at the same time, though she wasn't sure how well she was doing, still only guessing at it.
