This story is set after my short fic, Desire For The Phantom You need to read that story first, or this story won't make sense.

DISCLAMIER: I do not own the Charmed characters. This story is for entertainment purposes only, unless you don't like Piper with anyone other than Leo. LOL.

SET: Season Four. Piper & Leo are married, Phoebe & Cole are married. Cole's not evil (just sexy)

Piper was woken up the next morning by the sunlight blaring through her bedroom windows. She noticed right away she was alone in bed. Leo must have already gotten his day started.

She yawned as she stretched under the sheets like a lazy cat. Her mind drifted back to her Halloween party last night.

P3 had been packed, it had gone great. Until the bathroom. Piper covered her face with her hands. She had kissed Cole. She had done more than kiss Cole, she had made out with him.

A delicious shake went up her spine at the memory of those few moments in the bathroom. Cole's lips on hers. Tasting his tongue. His mouth had tasted like strawberry, probably from whatever mixed drink he had been sipping on. What had she done? Piper had never had feelings for Cole before, and now she couldn't quit imagining him, in dirty ways.

Leo had made love to her last night. Piper found herself closing her eyes and picturing Cole. How sick was that? Her brother-in-law? Not only was her mind betraying her husband, it was betraying her sister too.

Piper sighed. She would get over it in a couple of days. Until then, it would be best to see as little of Cole as possible. She hopped he wasn't mad at her. She really hadn't meant to embarrass him or make him uncomfortable in her presence.

Piper threw the sheets back and climbed out of bed. She went to her closet and selected something to wear to the club. It was going to be along day today, all the clean up from the party, plus it was stock day.

Cole was sipping this third cup of coffee as he read the newspaper. He was sitting in the kitchen, waiting for Phoebe to come home. He knew she would be full of her usual lies. He couldn't stop her from having her affairs, but he wished she would have the decency to come home at night when she was done.

He wasn't going to tell her sisters about her betrayal, but if she kept this up, they would figure it out on their own.

As he waited for his wife, his thoughts drifted back to Piper. Her name was like music in his head. Piper. His Piper. "If only" Cole murmured into his coffee cup.

He had wanted her for months, and last night he had a taste of her. Piper always seemed so quiet and proper. He had been quite surprised by the passion she had shown in their kiss last night. Granted, she thought he was Leo, but she had so much passion flowing through her. He imagined she was incredible in the bedroom. Cole sighed. He would never get to find out. He had met and married the wrong Halliwell.

As if on cue, Cole looked up to see Piper walking in the kitchen. She had on tan pants and a white shirt. Her hair was back in a high ponytail. She didn't have a lot of make-up on, but she didn't need it.

"Morning Piper." he said to her, taking her in. His eyes were drawn to her lips. She seemed a little jumpy.

"Morning Cole. Where's Phoebe and Paige?" she asked him, walking to the fridge to pour a glass of orange juice.

"Paige left for work already. Phoebe went out with some girls from work last night, and didn't come home. She must have had to much to drink." Cole lied, covering for his wife yet again.

"Oh. Did you have anything to eat yet?" Piper asked, trying to keep herself busy.

"No, I wasn't really hungry." Cole said, his fingers gripping his coffee mug.

"I am going to toast a bagel, would you like one?" she asked him, reaching for the bread box.

"Sure." Cole said, although he wasn't hungry at all.

"Okay, blueberry or cinnamon?" Piper asked, pulling a blueberry out for herself.

"Blueberry sounds good." Cole said, standing up to pour a couple glasses of milk.

He watched Piper as she toasted their bagels and spread some cream cheese on both.

As they sat at the table and ate, Piper busied herself by reading the newspaper. Cole nibbled on his bagel, and watched her reading.

Piper had a little bit of cream cheese on her lip, as her tongue darted out to lick it off, Cole had to stifle a groan. Who would have thought something that simple could have been so sexy?

Their quiet breakfast was interrupted by the manor door slamming open. Phoebe walked into the kitchen. Her hair was tangled. Her makeup made awful rings around her eyes, and she looked hung over.

Cole grimaced. She looked like hell, especially next to Piper. "Good morning Phoebe." Cole choked out.

"Morning Hun" she said, kissing his cheek. He smelled aftershave on her. He fought off the urge to push her away from him.

Piper looked up from her paper. "Morning Phoebe" she said. "Did you have fun last night."

"Oh Yeah, I had the most wonderful time." Phoebe answered. She went over and poured herself a cup of coffee. "Sorry I didn't call Cole. I got so drunk, Erika had to put me to bed."

"No problem Phoebe. I gotta go though, I'm going to be late for work." Cole said, standing up and grabbing his jacket. He had to get out of there, he couldn't sit there with his wife on one side of him, and the woman he loved on the other.

"See you guys tonight." he said, grabbing his keys.

"Bye Cole." Piper said, looking up and smiling at him.

"Yeah, bye." Phoebe said, not taking her eyes off of the coffee cup.
