The Paths We Tread: Facing Our Truth

Chapter Seven

"Hello?"

Blaire smiled at the sound of the voice.

"Hi, Ellen…" She said weakly, sitting in an old Ford she'd hotwired.

"You okay, sweetie…?" Ellen asked, "You sound upset?"

"No…" Blaire replied, "I…Can I come to the Roadhouse…please?"

"You runnin' again?" Ellen asked, "The boys botherin' you?"

"Everything…everything's bothering me…" Blaire whispered past the lump in her throat.

"Okay, honey…okay, come on down…" Ellen said softly, "Let the boys know you need some space and get your ass down here."

"Thank you." Blaire breathed, "Thanks, Ellen."

"No problem," Ellen replied, "Have a safe trip…oh, and I'll let Ash know you're coming."

Blaire chuckled and hung up, texting Dean before pulling away from the parking lot of their motel and heading towards Ellen, Jo and Ash. Oh God…she could be happy with Ash for the few days she was with him. Deep down, they both knew that it wouldn't be a long term thing; that it couldn't be a long term thing, but while she was there, she'd try and enjoy it.


"No, honey…no…just let her have a few days out of the way…" Ellen said quietly as she talked on the phone to Dean, watching Ash and Blaire talking at a table in the saloon.

"Ellen, why is she there? We were working on a case!" Dean yelled, Ellen cutting him off.

"She's told me everything. She's told me about John killing her baby, about how hard she's found getting used to the whole Haley Joel Osment thing…" Ellen explained, "She's suffering here, and I know you all are but…she needs her space right now. I'll keep an eye on her, don't worry."

"Has she been crying?" Dean asked, "Is she…is she drinking?"

"She's had a few whiskeys and she's cried a lot, but she's okay now. She's with Ash." Ellen said, "He's making her laugh and stuff, but just let her have few days breathing space before you come charging down here all guns blazin' okay, sweetie?"

She heard Dean swallow thickly and he grunted in response, knowing that he was probably getting choked up.

"I'll look after her, I promise." She said, "Bye, Dean. Look after yourself and your brother."

"Thanks, Ellen. See you later…"

Ellen hung up and sighed as she saw Blaire looking to her hands with teary eyes, looking back up at Ash who wound an arm around her and kissed her lips gently. The poor girl had really suffered so much and she did need this break. Ellen spotted Ash approaching the bar, the cheeky smile on his face telling her all she needed to know. She sighed looked at him as he nodded at her to greet her.

"We're gonna go to my room, okay?"

"Hey, no funny business in there, boy." Ellen said, Ash giving her the worst puppy eyes ever.

"Come on…I might never get to see her again, huh?" He said, "She likes me…I like her…we'll keep it down…"

Ellen grinned lopsidedly and rolled her eyes.

"Fine…I'm turning the radio up."


Blaire sat on Ash's bed, tears still falling down her face. Ash locked the door and sighed, joining her on the bed and taking her hand. He felt something inside him telling him to be careful and gentle tonight, that if they did what he wanted them to do that maybe it shouldn't just be a hot, dirty fuck, but maybe something that she'd remember, something that meant something to them both. He cupped her cheek and was surprised when she leaned into a touch.

"Oh, Ash…" She breathed, "Why do I feel like this…? Why can't I stop feeling like this?"

"Listen, you've been through a ton of crap in your lifetime, stuff that most girls your age wouldn't even dream of experiencing," He said softly, "You're gonna feel the strain of it."

Blaire wiped her eyes and sighed, smiling weakly and leaning forward to kiss Ash's lips. They smiled into the kiss and deepened it, Blaire being lowered onto the mattress while Ash climbed on top of her. Their hands roamed each other's bodies, Blaire's fingers in Ash's long hair as they kissed.

"Wait…" Ash breathed, jumping off the bed and switching on his lava lamp, turning out the main light in his room before grabbing a condom from the bedside table, "Oh…you do wanna go this far right?"

He gestured the condom and Blaire smiled, Ash leaning down and kissing her again.

"Um…this is my first time in like…in over a year…" She said, "So…I, uh…"

"How the hell have you not had sex in over a year?" He asked, "How have men been able to keep away from you?"

"It's not the fact that I don't get offered…" Blaire replied, "I'm just…it's kinda frowned upon if I do it…"

Ash sighed and closed his eyes.

"Sam and Dean?"

Blaire nodded and pulled Ash back down for a kiss.

"Well they ain't here tonight…and they won't be for a few days," He said with a smile, "So you're free to do as you please."

Blaire grinned, the tear tracks drying on her face as she looked up at him, the pair of them sharing tender gazes and almost getting lost in each other.

"While I love all the deep looking and such…I haven't had any for a year…" Blaire chuckled, Ash laughing out loud and kissing Blaire's lips again.

"Well…I'll make it worth your while then." Ash said with a grin, pulling his t-shirt off to reveal his toned chest, Blaire's hands running over it before sitting up a little to pull off her checkered shirt and tank top, revealing her body, Ash too busy kissing her neck to notice the scarring.

She became scared; scared of what he'd say when he saw it. He kissed down her body, stopping when he saw the long scars along her stomach and emerging from her jeans.

"If…if you don't wanna carry on, I get it…" Blaire said softly, "I know it's ugly…I'm ugly…"

She was stopped when she felt Ash's lips caressing the scars, her fingers threading into his hair as he did.

"Ash…" she gasped, "Oh God…"

"You're not ugly, Blaire." Ash said softly, "Don't ever think that."

Blaire sighed as Ash kissed her hips, shivering a little as his hands moved to her jeans.

Their kiss was heated and passionate, Ash only unfastening her jeans before moving up and kissing her lips again, making his way down her body and focussing on her chest. It transpired, Blaire loved having her chest kissed and she held Ash's head there, lowering her hands to his jeans while sitting up and kissing his neck. She could feel her body beginning to burn up and she smiled, relaxing and getting ready to enjoy the most amazing sensations that she'd yearned for, for so long.

Blaire had no idea what happened, but the next time she opened her stunning green eyes she and Ash were naked, Ash kissing his way down her body before she felt fingers against the most sensitive place on her body. She gasped and arched up, blushing at the intimacy of the touch and moaning softly as Ash's slender fingers slid inside of her waiting body.

"Ash…" She breathed, "Want you…"

Ash smirked and kissed her lips, working his fingers inside her while reaching for the condom on the table. He felt a hand around his erection which was aching hard, small, delicate fingers squeezing slightly before the wrist they belonged to began to move.

"Blaire…oh fuck…" Ash gasped, bucking into her hand before slipping the condom on.

He pulled the covers over the lower half of his body, sliding inside Blaire's body and closing his eyes, having to stop himself and calm for a moment. She was hot and so tight he could've come there and then, but he didn't. He held back, laying down and resting on his elbows as he and Blaire kissed again.

She missed this feeling, this feeling of someone being so close to her, being connected in such an intimate way with someone who actually cared. Ash cared about her, she knew that, and she was so grateful for how caring he was.

Her thoughts were broken by Ash moving inside of her, a broken moan escaping her lips as she arched up. Ash ran his fingers through her thick blonde waves, the silky locks splayed out on the pillow beneath her. Ash smelt like Lynx deodorant, Blaire's favourite, and she lifted her head, kissing his lips and then his neck and chest as he moved with her. She missed this care, this attention and this devotion to the moment they were both waiting to reach, and Ash sped up, rolling over in the small space to have Blaire above him, rocking her hips as he sat up and kissed her ample breasts.

She was beginning to sweat, one bead running down her chest which Ash licked off before shoving his tongue in her mouth again, both of them moaning into the kiss. Her movements became a little slower and quaky, the way she weakly held herself up showing Ash she was close. He rolled them back over, sliding their hands together and kissing her deeply before holding her close to him.

"Mmm…Ash…" She breathed, "Ash…I think I'm gonna come…"

"So do I…" He panted, "We gonna go together, huh? Think we can do it?"

Blaire laughed, the sound replaced with a moan as Ash moved faster, pulling back to look at her as she broke apart in front of him. She was open and vulnerable and as they moved towards orgasm the pair stared at each other.

"Dude, this is…oh fuck…" Ash breathed, "Fuck…Blaire…FUCK!"

"ASH!" Blaire cried, gasping as her orgasm shot through her system, "Oh my…God…"

The couple stopped shakily and Ash collapsed on Blaire, the middle Winchester beaming and holding him to her.

"You…are amazing…" She whispered, panting to catch her breath, "Oh God…"

Ash chuckled and kissed her lips, pulling out of her and resting by her side. He wound an arm around her as she rested on his chest, sighing as there was a knock at the door.

"Dr. Badass?"

Blaire shot up at the sound of Dean's voice and Ash kissed her head.

"It's fine…" He whispered, "Get dressed and march out there proud of the fact you just fucked Dr. Badass."

Blaire chuckled at the thought of Dean's expression and she quickly got dressed, sexing her hair up a bit more before passing Ash as he stood naked in the doorway.

"See you later, baby." She said softly, kissing Ash's lips deeply before walking past her brothers with a big grin on her face, winking at Dean as she went up the corridor, hips shaking as she went.

"You fucked our sister?" Dean asked, Ash chuckling in response.

"Dude, your timing's fucking awesome," He laughed, "We'd just finished when you knocked on the door."

"Okay…mentally damaging images in my head…" Dean breathed, Ash huffing out a nervous laugh.

"Guess I'll need my pants…"


Sam looked over at his sister as she drank her whiskey, her smile still on her face as she sat and spoke to Jo.

"How was it?" She asked.

"Amazing." She replied, "My first time in over a year."

"Seriously?" Jo asked, "Haven't you…since…?"

"No…don't have the time in our profession."

"Dean and Sam have the time," Jo said, "Why don't you?"

"I just don't, okay?" Blaire said softly, downing her whiskey shot, "I don't get that kinda privilege."

Jo frowned and looked over at Dean, Blaire picking up straight away.

"Look, I get that you find my brother attractive, but it'll be one fuck and that's it." She said, "Dean's…Dean's a whore…"

Jo laughed and nodded in the direction behind Blaire, the middle Winchester turning to see Ash approaching her.

"Can…can I have a word?" He asked, Blaire nodding in response and heading back to Ash's room, "Okay…um…I don't…"

"Let me just stop you there, Ash." Blaire said, "I get it. We can't really have anything…it's just not…possible really."

"I know." Ash said, "You okay with that?"

"Yeah," Blaire replied with a gentle smile, "You?"

"Yeah."

The couple looked at each other one more time and shared one more deep, passionate, yet tender kiss, holding onto each other and embracing one more time. Blaire smiled and kissed Ash's cheek, winking and walking back to the bar.

"I'll be in the car." She said, slinging her bags over her shoulder and heading out to the Impala.

She was happy. She'd finally had a hint of romance, despite their time together being practically ruined and there being no future for their relationship. She'd kissed Ash, held Ash, caressed Ash and slept with Ash. She'd fucked Ash…Dr. Badass. She wouldn't ever forget that.

Not ever.
