Ashley's P.O.V.

The ride back to the mansion was quiet. Lestat's words kept coming back to haunt me.

Once you become a vampire, you can never have a child of your own…

No children? I didn't know if I could handle that. I've always wanted to be a mother my whole life. I guess it's true what they say; your life goals can change in an instant, and all depending on the one you love.

"You're wiser than you think you are, Ashley." Lestat replied. His voice startled me out of my thoughts.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Your thoughts, your worries. You know what solution you want to choose. Your heart is the best problem solver you will ever have." Lestat answered, his eyes on the road.

"Thanks Lestat." I said with a smile.

He nodded with a wink.

Once we got inside the mansion, I went to find Louis and found him in the garden room I had been in earlier. He was admiring some beautiful tulips.

"You love this room as much as I do." I said, walking beside him.

"I come here whenever I need to think." He answered.

"What are you thinking about?"

He sighed.

"I don't know if I want to make you a vampire Ashley. But then again, it might be the only thing to save you."

I said nothing. It was clear that Louis was fighting himself on this decision.

"Lestat told me to always follow my heart. I know it's not easy, but you know what solution you want to choose. Just go with it, no questions asked." I replied.

"You're right." He said.

"I'm going to take a shower." I said, hugging him before going upstairs.

&&&&&& (page break)

Once I got in my room, I went into the shower and turned on the water. Once it was hot enough, I removed my clothes and got in. I was sort of in a good mood, so I began to sing.

"The circle of life! La, la, la, da, da!" I sung—well actually yelled.

Ok so I didn't know all the words to the Lion King, but who does?

"In the circle…the circle ooooffff L—" Suddenly a hand covered my mouth.

"Please don't sing. You're terrible at it." A familiar voice whispered in my ear.

I spun around to see Louis standing behind me. Completely naked.

"Uh…Louis, what are you doing in here?" I asked, trying to keep my eyes off his manhood that was in plain sight.

"You said you were taking a shower, so I figured I'd join you. Unless you don't want me to." Louis said, turning away.

"No!" I said, grabbing his arm. Then I realized how muscular he was.

"Damn…" I mumbled, running my hands up and down his arms, chest…abs…past his belly button, and…

"Oh sorry! I can't control myself." I said, chuckling a bit.

He smirked, and pulled me closer to him.

"I love it when you lose control." He whispered before claiming my lips.

Louis's P.O.V.

As she opened her mouth to let my tongue in, my hands explored all over her body, across her smooth warm skin. She let out a sigh of pleasure as my lips moved to her neck and I sucked and lightly nipped her neck with my fangs. I slowly moved down to her breasts, giving each one special attention. I gently bit the nipple with my fangs, making her moan loudly. I moved back up to her lips and just as I lifted her legs around my waist, she sighed in irritation.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Dawn is coming."

"We could just stay here…the bathroom has no windows." I suggested.

"I'm not staying in a bathroom until the sun goes down, Louis." She said, looking at me.

"Alright…let's go." I answered sadly.

We both stepped out of the bathroom in towels to see Lestat in front of the door.

"I was about to tell you that dawn is coming, but I see you're…pre-occupied." Lestat said smirking.

"Actually, we're all finished." I answered with a smile.

Ashley laughed.

"Jealous Lestat? Because if you want, Louis and I could—"

I quickly put my hand over her mouth.

"When you talk, do you even hear what comes out?" I asked.

Ashley shrugged, and Lestat shook his head.

"I don't think you'd want me to join your little sex party Cheri, I can be a little…violent." Lestat replied, showing his fangs in a devilish smile.

I saw Ashley's eyes widen and I quickly pushed Lestat towards the door.

"Ok, well Lestat you'd better be going now." I said before pushing Lestat out of the door and closing it.

Ashley laughed at my antics.

"I amuse you do I?" I asked, walking up to her.

"You and Lestat. You both are so funny!" She said smiling.

"You have no idea how badly I want to rip off that towel and take you." I whispered, pulling her close to me.

"But you can't. Now go to sleep already before you get burned." She said smirking.

I gave her one last kiss before disappearing into thin air.


Broken: Aww that was sweet.

Ashley: Yeah I liked the bathroom part!

Louis: I'm sure.

Lestat: I like the part where you mentioned me not joining their love fest. How did you know I was actually violent when it comes to those 'activities'?

Broken: Uh...good guess?

Lestat: Would you like a demonstration? -smirk-

Ashley: Lestat no! You said you'd behave this time.

Louis: We're prepared to hold you back too.

Lestat: Alright, fine.

Broken: Thank God...

Louis: Review Please.
