Aphrodite walked slowly down the shore. She was scantly clad and what she was wearing one could see through. She called to Poseidon and waited. "It's important that I talk to you dear uncle."

Finally Poseidon showed himself, "What is it that you need to see me my dear niece and in such dress. Remember dear niece that I am immune to your ways."

"Come ashore and sit & eat with me," Aphrodite cooed to him.

"I'm not one for your tricks Aphrodite. Play your game with someone else," Poseidon reminded her.

Aphrodite pretended to be mad and storm away. She tripped over a piece of driftwood and fell seemingly hitting her head in the process. She had ceased to move since her fall. Poseidon called to her and she did not answer. He decided he needed to check on her after all if something was wrong and he did not help her Zeus would be very angry. He stepped on shore and immediately turned into Will Turner.

Will looked around bewildered at his situation. The last thing he remembered was being washed overboard while on the Pearl. He looked around and saw a woman lying on the sand. She was not moving so he went over to check on her. Maybe she would have some answers. Maybe she too had been washed on shore by the sea.

Aphrodite did not move. She could hear Will walking around and then starting towards her. Her plan had worked beautifully. She had tricked Poseidon to make him come on shore. She kept her eyes closed as Will slowly turned her over. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. No, he told himself, Elizabeth is the most beautiful. He slowly brushed her long blond hair away from her face. His hand slowly traced her check then down her long neck. Her clothing left nothing to the imagination. Her body was perfect. His hand continued down her length of her body until they reached her toes. I'm just looking for an injury, he told himself, I need to see where she's hurt. His heart was fighting with itself. He was loyal to his wife but why was this woman so tempting?

Will went back and was gently stroking her face when she let out a small groan. Will closed his eyes and goose bumps covered his body. "Are you alright," he asked.

Aphrodite opened her eyes, "yes, I think so. Thank you for coming to my aid," she said in a seductive tone, "My rescuer do you have a name?"

"Will Turner. And you are?"

"Aphrodite," she replied sitting up and tilting her head towards Will, slowly getting closer to Will's lips. Will looked at her lips as she got closer and started to close his eyes in anticipation. Suddenly he pulled back.

"I'm a married man, Aphrodite. I can not give in to this temptation." Will was fighting with everything in his being to be faithful to his true love Elizabeth.

"I was only kissing you to say thank you. Will you not accept my thanks?" Aphrodite put on her best pout and actually started to let a single tear run down her face. Will raised his hand and gently wiped the tear from her cheek.

"I will accept your thanks it's just," then before Will could finish Aphrodite had started to kiss Will. Will felt nothing but passion and want as she kissed him. He tried not to kiss her back but he was losing control. She started to twist his hair in her hands. He began to kiss her back, thinking about nothing but this woman and all the pleasure she could bring. She slowly moved her hand down onto his chest. Will finally pulled away breathless.

"I need to find my ship," Will said suddenly standing up trying to keep some distance between he and Aphrodite. He had regained some of his self control and promised himself he would not give in to this woman again.

"What ship is it you seek," Aphrodite said as she continued to play her game.

"It's the Black Pearl. She's a black ship with black sails," Will answered her.

"The ship left in the night. Setting sail for home I would surmise."

"No, they wouldn't leave without me," Will said shaking his head. He was confused now. His wife had left him and now this woman who seemed to be perfect in everyway wanted him. And worse yet he wanted her too.

Aphrodite, cleared a spot of sand and told Will to look; as he did a vision of the Pearl leaving was shown to him. "It is a vision of the past," she explained to Will. In the vision it showed that was Elizabeth happy, kissing Jack on the cheek asking him to take her home now. Suddenly the vision was gone. Will's heart was breaking, why did Elizabeth give up on him so easily. If she thought him dead, why was she so at peace? Surely she would be grieving. All of this added to Will's confusion and inner turmoil.

Aphrodite smiled behind Will's back seeing his pain and turmoil in his heart. "I can make you forget her forever and we could be together," she whispered sweetly in his ear.

Will shrugged her off, "I'm still married." He started to walk away. Aphrodite called to him and he stopped.

"I'm feeling rather weak since my fall. Could you at least sit with me and eat something until I feel better?"

Will wanted to be alone for he needed to think about all these events; but it was not in his nature to leave someone, a woman, who might need help. He returned to her side as she sat down on the sand. She reached inside a basket that she had sat down next to. She offered Will wine and an apple. He drank some of the wine and gave it to Aphrodite to share. He played with the apple in his hands; he was not exactly hungry since his heart was breaking. Aphrodite encouraged him to eat. "You will need your strength my love." Will looked at her not liking her adding my love to her words. But he knew if he wanted to get back to Elizabeth and the Pearl; he needed to eat. He bit into the apple and slowly swallowed it. It was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten. He ate it faster and faster. Aphrodite smiled and thought I have you now my love.

Will slowly collapsed on the sand. Now Aphrodite brushed Will's hair back out of his eyes. He slowly opened them. "Hello love," Aphrodite said sweetly.

"Who are you," Will asked.

"I'm your lover. Don't you remember me," Aphrodite said making believe that she was shocked.

"No. I don't remember you," he paused with a puzzled look on his face, "I don't even remember who I am."

"Your name is Will and you are to be my husband," Aphrodite replied with tears coming from her eyes.

Will grabbed her and hugged her tightly. "I may not remember but I feel in my heart that you are my love and everything that I want." Aphrodite smiled looking over Will's shoulder. Her plan had gone perfectly. Will's memory was erased from eating the apple and now she could create her own memories for him.

Will finally broke the hug and looked into Aphrodite's eyes, "you are the most beautiful woman in the world and I love you. I know that in my heart and I love only you." Will then kissed her passionately and they fell together on the sand.
