Notes; Okay, so I think I have to explain some things first. Which I forgot. Cole in this story never lost his powers, so the sisters know that he still has his demonic powers blahblahblah. Now that things cleared up. Thanks Tryan4Eva and Luke-Gilmore for reviewing, Here is the next chapter for now.

Diclaimer; If I owned Charmed I would live IN fiji now, but I live in the Netherlands where the sun barely ever shines, like now it's storming n thundering and I'm just really not impressed. But that's besides the point.


Chapter 2 – Temptation.

Cole lay in bed that night. His eyes closed, but he wasn't asleep. He listened as the wind blew the rain against the window of his bedroom. The raindrops were starting to become bigger, he noticed and eventually they turned into hailstones, knocking on the double glass. Cole let out a heavy sigh and opened his eyes. He couldn't sleep.

He glanced over at the alarmclock on his bedside cabinet and rolled his eyes. It was only 3:00am. Why did time always pass by so slowly when you wanted it to go quick? He sat up and let his eyes scan the darkened room. For one brief moment he thought that he saw someone walking towards him. A female body.

Paige's body.

But it was just his imagination. There was no one there, he was the only one in the room and to be honest he was a little disappointed. He reached over and picked his cellphone up from the bedside cabinet, flipping the lid up as he let himself sink back into the pillows. He blinked several times against the brigt blue light that came of the screen and bit his lower lip deciding whether or not to go to the Manor or not. He knew it was late.

Paige made her way down the stairs quietly as she wrapped her dressing gown around her body a little tighter. The cold air coming from downstairs hit her legs and sent a shiver down her spine.

Maybe I should've put on my bathrobe. At least that's warmer.

She thought to herself. She always tended to choose something sexy and more elegant over something warm and comfortable. This time it hadn't be the best choice. It was 3:00am and everyone was asleep. She finally reached the bottom of the stairs and walked through the parlour and dining room into the kitchen to make herself some hot chocolate.

She hadn't been able to go back to sleep after she had woken up an hour earlier. Maybe a warm drink would help her to start feeling tired again. She looked through the cupboars for cocoa powder when she heard a familiar wooshing sound behind her. Before the demon even had the change to open his mouth she spun around and kicked him, aiming for his stomach. Unfortunately for the demon she kicked too low.

''Fuck Paige.'' Cole doubled over when a sharp pain shot up through his 'manhood'. Paige's eyes widened when she discovered who it was and her hand flew to her mouth. ''Oh My God. Cole I'm so sorry.'' She watched as he searched for support on one of the chairs and closed his eyes, biting his lip. ''Are you okay?''

Cole's eyes snapped open and he gave her an angry look. ''Of course I'm not okay. That was full force god damnit.'' He took a deep breath and managed to stand up straight again, though he still looked like he was having pain.

''I didn't know it was you. If I had known I wouldn't have..-'' Cole raised his hand to cut her off and looked at her when she walked towards him, still concerned. ''It's fine. You don't need to apologise. I'm guessing Pheebs taught you that kick?''

Paige grinned apologetically, ''Yeah. Can't seem to get it high enough yet though.''

''I noticed.'' He straightened his shirt and looked over at the cup that was standing on the counter.

''Couldn't sleep?''

''Not really. Figured some hot chocolate would help me out. What are you doing here?'' Cole looked back at her and shrugged slightly, ''Couldn't sleep either. Hoped Phoebe would be up, but I guess you're just gonna have to do. Could you fix me some chocolate as well?'' He acutally didn't want to stay, but figured that wanting something to drink would be an excuse for him staying around longer. In the presence of Paige. Who knows what could happen. His licked his dry lips, he couldn't think like that. He wouldn't.

Paige nodded in reply to his question and turned back to the counter unaware of the fact that Cole was watching her every single move.

He took place on one of the chairs at the table carefully and rested his chin in his hand. His oceanic blue eyes watching her hypnotizing hips. ''Whipped cream on ur drink?'' Paige's voice asked. I know a better place. ''Yeah. Thanks.'' Cole bit his lip and let out a sigh, making sure Paige wouldn't hear it. He hated himself for thinking this, but he didn't want to stop thinking either. He looked up when Paige gently placed a cup of steaming liquid in front of him, decorated with a generous amount of whipped cream. She gave him her dazzling smile and took place opposite him. ''Thanks.'' Cole took hold of the small spoon and poked at the whipped cream gently, avoiding her gaze. He had felt his heart flutter when she flashed him that smile and he didn't want to admit it.

Paige lifted her cup up from the table and wrapped her fingers around it gently. She glanced at Cole over the top of her cup. She looked away quickly when he made eye-contact with her and she sipped at her hot chocolate. The warmth of the liquid quickly spread out through her body and she closed her eyes letting it linger in her mouth for a moment. Obviously she didn't notice that there was some whipped cream on the end of her nose. Cole let out a slight laugh when he noticed it and let his teeth bite down onto his bottom lip gently.

Paige looked at him with a questioning look upon her face. Cole hid his smile well and leaned forward, extending his hand towards her face. Paige looked at him confused and moved her head slightly, away from his hand. ''No Paige. It's just some whipped cream.'' He smiled and wiped it off her nose gently.

Paige closed her eyes and shivered slightly when she felt his finger touch her nose. She opened her eyes slowly and looked straight into his. It looked like he had moved closer to her somehow. Paige bit her lower lip gently and moved slightly wanting him to say something. He was looking at her and she felt as though he was looking straight through her. As though he could read her mind and she was afraid that he would find out about her dreams about him. The thoughts that she shouldn't have about him.

Cole looked at her and felt a surge of goosebumps rushing throughout his body. He could get lost in those hazel coloured eyes of hers. And he could stare for hours at her full glossy lips. He watched when she parted them slightly to say something, but before she could he cut her off. Before he knew it he brushed his lips with hers.

Footsteps were heard on the stairs and Cole immediately pulled back. He glanced at Paige and then at the kitchendoor, a scared look in his eyes. Paige looked at him and watched when his body started to disappear. He shimmered out without saying another word.

Just in time as well, because Phoebe walked into the kitchen, her pink bathrobe trailing behind her. She gasped slightly when she saw Paige sitting at the table. ''Paige. What are you doing here alone? In the dark?'' Paige stared in front of her a moment longer and then slowly turned her head towards Phoebe, ''I. I don't know. I couldn't sleep.''

''Oh. Me either, got some hot chocolate left?'' Paige nodded and raised her hand to her lips when Phoebe turned to the counter.

Her lips felt different.

Cole hadn't even given her a proper kiss, their lips had only brushed for a milli-second, but she still felt a slight tingle. She touched her lips carefully and sighed deeply. Phoebe raised an eyebrow and turned around, ''Are you okay Paige?'' She watched as he baby-sister yawned and nodded her head, ''Tired again. I'm gonna go to bed.'' Paige got to her feet and placed her and Cole's still half-filled cup upon the counter. ''Night.'' She made her way out of the kitchen and walked upstairs quietly.

Phoebe looked over at the two cups upon the counter and raised a confused eyebrow. ''Two cups?'' she muttered.

Paige walked into her bedroom and let herself fall down onto her bed. She closed her eyes and lingered the feeling of Cole's lips against hers. She was sure that he was a great kisser. He looked like one anyway. Not that you could really tell if someone was a great kisser by his looks. Phoebe had always said he was good though. Phoebe. His girlfriend.

Paige rolled her eyes, why did she always fall for guys who were taken? Wait a minute. She thought. Fall? I've not fallen for Cole.

Oh yeah you have. A small voice in the back of her head. You have and you know it. You have fallen for his dangerous, mysterious side and his amazing looks.

Paige really did hate her consious sometimes.

It always told her the things she didn't want to admit. Like she didn't want to admit that she had fallen for Cole. She sat up and took her dressing gown off, shivering slightly when the cold fabric slid down her arms. She let it fall to the floor and got back under the sheets. She hated this. This feelings. She couldn't be with Cole because Phoebe would kill her. And she wasn't even sure if Cole liked her. Sure he almost kissed her, but maybe that was just a mistake, or maybe he just wanted to tease her. Maybe he had found out about her feelings towards him. Paige licked her lips and shifted onto her side, closing her eyes. She had to try and put him out of her head.
