"Ma are the kids ok?" I asked walking through the slums of downtown San Fransisco.

"They are fine John but I don't understand what is so important in California that you must randomly take a week off from everything" she replied.

"Just trust me I have to do this" I said "well ma I have to go"

"Be careful John" she said before hanging up.

After about 20 minutes of walking I had finally found what I was looking for. The building was an abandoned store front facing the San Fransisco Bay. I knocked softly not sure what would be inside. A blonde opened the door and pulled me in. She pushed me towards a wall and forcefully shoved her tongue in my mouth. My mind went completely numb I hadn't been kissed like that in quite some time. As soon as I could think rationally I pushed her away.

"Sorry about that" she said. The she waved her hand in front of her face. The blonde woman before me transformed into Ashley.

"How?" was all I could say.

"Another little white lighter trick" she said.

"Now let me see that gash on your arm" she ordered.

"No it's fine" I said.

She grabbed my arm and began to remove the bandages covering the place where my arms had hit a turn buckle wrong.

"Oww that hurts" I hissed as the tape was being ripped off of my skin.

"Baby" she said placing her hands over my now exposed wound. There was a light coming from them now. The pain subsided and now the wound was gone.

"You can heal?" I asked.

"I have so many skills it's ridiculous" she joked.

"So now explain to me are you dead?" I asked.

"Legally yes I am dead but physically I am as alive as you are"

"I want you to come home with me" I said.

"I can't John it's impossible they won't let me" she said looking towards the sky.

"Who are these they people who you are always talking about?" I asked.

"The elders, they are a group of older white lighters who are dead set against love. They think love makes people sloppy and unable to protect our charges"

"Charges?"

"White lighters are assigned charges either witches or other future white lighters" she explained.

"So why do you watch over Boston?" I asked "he's normal"

"Yeah so are magical people I believe you mean mortal"

"Whatever he's mortal" I said.

"Yes he is mortal but most white lighters don't have young children I only know of one other one" she said.

"Why are they so dangerous what would happen if they caught you with us?" I asked.

"They'd kill you and the kids" she replied grimly.

"So why meet me here?" I asked.

"Because this building is enchanted it was once used by The Charmed Ones and the elders can't sense us here" she said.

"The Charmed what?" I asked.

"Never mind magic is beyond your level of comprehension" she said.

"Is that your way of calling me stupid?" I asked.

"No that was me getting you to shut up long enough to do this" she pulled my face close to hers.

We started kissing passionately with less force. Ashley ran her hands up my arms and wrapped her hands around his neck, making their kiss even deeper. I wrapped his arms around her waist and his hands slowly moved lower, and soon I had a firm grip on Ashley's rear. He then picked her up causing her to lock her legs around his waist. I carried her up the condemned stairs to one of the rooms. When I kicked the door open to one of the rooms, surprisingly the bedroom was still intact with only the bed in good shape.

"Talk about your good timing." I said looking back and forth at the bed and Ashley

"Shhh, I want you to make love to me, John.' Ashley whispered

I carried her into the bedroom and kicked the door shut. I put Ashley down long enough to remove my black chain gang t-shirt and let it fall to the floor. When I turned back to face Ashley, she was sporting just a black lace bra and matching lace boy shorts. I picked her up again and walked over to the wall beside the bed. Our kiss was nothing short of fiery and full of nothing but passion and love.

As I sucked gently on the nape of her neck, Ashley dug her finger nails into my back and let out a subtle moan. Once we were both undressed and in the bed, Ashley was on top of me, slowly moving up and down on me. Both of our eyes closed, enjoying the pleasure each was inflicting on the other. Then I flipped Ashley over and she again locked her legs around his waist as he slowly moved in and out of her. Our moans grew louder as their climax grew to a boiling point.

I started going faster and harder which made Ashley grip my back even more. We both climaxed simultaneously and I rolled off of Ashley and lay beside her. Ashley laid her head on my chest as he wrapped his arm over her shoulder. There Ashley was lulled to sleep by the sound of my heart beat and I soon followed.

The next morning I woke up with a smile on my face. I went to wrap my arm around Ashley's sleeping form but she wasn't there. This got me to thinking that it was all a dream. But I noticed I wasn't in my own bed and also that I wasn't wearing any clothing. Now I know some female fans like to say that I sleep naked but the truth is I don't. I noticed a silhouette by the window.

"Ashley what are you doing?" I asked her.

She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Thinking" she replied.

"About what?" I asked wrapping a sheet around myself.

"You and the kids" she said "I don't want to leave you"

"So don't" I urged her.

"I have to if anything happened to you or the kids I would never forgive myself"

"I want to kick these shit heads in their balls for trying to control my life like this" I said clenching my fists.

"Shh baby don't talk like that we have a little more time let's spend it without worrying about what is going to happen in the future"

That week I don't think we ever left the bed for more than 10 minutes at a time. It was a sad goodbye but we would always have that week to remember.
