Just a little full chapter.

Walking back into the room, Piper checked on Allison to find her still asleep. She refused to wake her up, knowing very well she needed the sleep. The moment she stepped foot into her kitchen, Piper was meet with two different intense looks.

"What?"

Phoebe's grin grew to borderline creepy. "What's up with you and Zankou?"

Piper forced herself to not react. "What do you mean?"

"I don't know, you and him have been very close recently." Phoebe narrowed her eyes.

Paige was a different story, she looked like a red pepper. "Are you and him sleeping together?"

"No!" Piper couldn't help, but feel flush at the thought. "God no." I mean not from lack of trying.

"You're blushing." Phoebe teased.

"Phoebe knock it off." Paige snapped. "Piper is something going on with you and Zankou?"

Piper bit her lower lip, trying to come up with an answer. She hated lying to her sisters, but Paige's reaction alone was enough to scare her off. "N-no. I have just found that he is easy to talk to. That's it."

"Bummer." Phoebe sighed.

"Why?"

Phoebe shrugged. "You and him actually make an interesting couple."

Paige scoffed, serving herself some food. "That's not exactly a good thing."

Piper decided to tune them out. Instead she focused on her plans for today. Still the thought of a certain demon dwindled in the back of her mind. She was beginning to loose the little control she had around him. She needed to speak to him about setting boundaries. Paige was close to finding them out. Not to mention they were already suspicious. Taking a deep breath, she looked up to see once again all eyes on her.

"What?" Both sisters shrugged, returning to their plates. "I am going to take a shower. Paige the boys should be back two hours, can you take them to school?"

"Sure."

"Thank you, I have to get some things done at the club before tonight."

Phoebe watched her bolt out of the kitchen, snickering. "You know she was lying right?"

Paige frowned. "About what the shower?"

"No, her and Zankou." Phoebe said, taking a bite of toast.

"You can't be serious. Piper would be the last one to fall for a demon." Paige scoffed. "We leave that to you."

"Yeah, yeah. Just saying, don't be surprised if you catch them one day." Phoebe chuckled, walking out.

Paige glared at the spot she once stood. Phoebe was wrong, there was no way Piper would fall for a demon. Let alone that one being Zankou. "She's not that desperate to get laid." But there was that nagging feeling in her chest. "Maybe...no. Piper said she wasn't and there was no reason for her to lie."

Piper rushes out of the shower and quickly got ready. Walking down the stairs, she was meet with an awake Allison. "Morning sweetie."

Allison jumped startled, calming down at seeing the woman. "M-morning."

"I am Piper, Paige's sister." Walking around the couch, she sat beside her. "You sleep well?"

"Y-yeah." Allison kept looking around, as if looking for something.

Piper chuckled, covering her hand with hers. "Zankou is out running some errands. You'll see him again." Allison stared down at their hands, a blush on her cheeks. "You hungry? Paige made breakfast."

"Yes."

"Alrighty then, come on." Guiding the child into the kitchen, she found only phoebe. "Hey, look who's up and hungry."

Phoebe grinned, pulling a plate out from the microwave. "Already had the plate ready. Here you go sweetie."

Piper handed her a cup of OJ. "Where is Paige?"

"She got called into work on an emergency." Phoebe replied. "I have to go into work as well. My deadline is at noon."

"The boys?" Piper asked.

"Paige already took them, before heading out."

Both sister glanced at Allison, before it hit them.

"Phoebe."

"Piper."

Staring at each other, Piper gave in. "Alright, if Paige needs her she will be with me at P3." Walking towards Allison, she gave kneeled beside her. "You will be coming to work with me okay. We will stop by and get you somethings so you won't get bored."

It took some coaxing, but in the end Allison sat on the bar coloring one of the three books she picked out. She was currently coloring in a blue sponge-bob. Piper also got her some books to read and a few toys for her to play. She was going to be at P3 the majority of the day. Running through the inventory and talking on the phone with the band, she took a seat next to Allison.

"Yeah, okay. Look just be here at 8pm to set up. You start at 9." Hanging up the phone, she laid her head on the bar. "I hate stuck up bands."

"What's stuck up?" Allison asked, reaching for the yellow crayon.

Piper jerked her head up. "Uh, stuck up is like when someone thinks they are better than someone else."

"Okay."

"I would have worded that in so many different ways." Both girls jumped, turning around to meet Zankou's gaze.

"I really need to get you a little bell." Piper grumbled.

Zankou chuckled, scanning the club. "Piper?"

"Hmm?"

"Where are my men?" Zankou crossed his arms,

pinning her with a glare.

Piper gasped. "I swore they were just here!"

With an eye roll, he walked over to her. Gripping the edge of the bar, he leaned forward. Piper had her back digging into the edge of the bar, just inches from his face. "I need you to at least have two with you at all times, whenever I am not around. If I am to be able to protect you and do what I need to do, you need to listen to me."

"I am at P3 Zankou." Piper raised a hand to jaw, running a thumb across his jaw line. "They never attack here."

Leaning into her touch, he sighed. "Never say never Piper. Just because they haven't, doesn't mean it can't happen. Not to mention you have the child with you."

Glancing at Allison, she nodded. "You're right." Giving him a quick kiss, she smiled softly. "I'll have at least two with me."

"Okay. Now for what I came here for." Zankou leaned forward into her ear. "You have somewhere private we can talk?" Seeing the confused look in her eyes, she gestured to Allison.

"Oh, hey Zankou and I need to talk in the office." Piper pushed him off her and leaned over to Allison. "Will you be okay here for a few minutes?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, there is some fruit and juice in the fridge." She gestured to the mini fridge in the break room. "I will be right back."

"Okay."

Walking into her office, she lead Zankou toward the couch. "What did you want to talk about?"

"I am going to need you and the rest of your family to leave the manor." He stopped her upcoming outburst. "Relax, I am not telling you to leave now. This is an advanced notice. When everything goes down with Malik, he will come at full force. That includes all of you."

"What does he know?" Piper asked.

Zankou sighed, laying his head back. "Everything. My debt. The deal. My allies. Everything."

Piper placed her hand on his chest, getting face to face with him. "Let me help you." Zankou shook his head. "I am not doubting your strength or ability to defeat Malik, but help is always a good thing. Even if it's from witches."

Cupping her jaw, he pulled her down for a small kiss. "My job right now is to keep you and your family out of harm. Not take you to it."

"Fine, but if push comes to shove, I will be there." Piper huffed.

Zankou chuckled, pulling her into another kiss. It was meant to be a simple one, but as always her taste was intoxicating. The moment her lips touched his, he couldn't-didn't want to stop. Holding her head still with one hand, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her onto his lap. Without breaking the kiss, he forced her legs open, causing her to straddle him. Zankou moves away from her mouth, continuing his assault to her neck.

Piper tilted her head to the side, giving him all the access he wanted. Running her hands through his semi long hair, she gathered a handful of his hair. Giving him a tug, she smiled at the slight groan he gave her. Pulling his head back, she stared down at him. His eyes were blazing hot, with lust and passion. His breath ghosted across her face, sending hot chills down her spine. As she leaned down to kiss him, she squealed at the sudden flip he gave her. Zankou Laos over her, moving his mouth from her neck to her cleavage.

Zankou trailed a hand down her side, reaching the edge of her shirt. While he continued to kiss and nibble on her neck, he slipped his hand under the shirt. The warmth of her skin was incredible, seemed to be getting hotter by the touch. Feeling her tense up, he paused his hand on her stomach. At the same time, he pulled themselves back into their previous sitting position. A low growl emitting from his throat as she grind herself against him. And she wasn't stopping.

Piper was surprised by his restraint. She knew what he wanted and how badly, but instead he dug his fingers into her side and held her down. She picked up her pace just a little, watching his reaction. The demon had thrown his head back, clenching his jaw.

"Piper stop." Zankou breath out. "Stop."

Piper frowned. "Is that what you really want?"

That earned her a scoff. "That is the last thing I want. But I also know you are no where near ready for me." Seeing the look of confusion, he pulled her flushed against his chest. Leaning into her ear, he whispered. "If you continue what you are doing, I will not stop until I have you screaming my name."

Piper knew she was blushing. "Okay. Okay."

Pulling back, she pushed his hair back and simply

looked at him. In that moment he kissed her and the world fell away. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be. His hand rested below her ear, his thumb caressing her cheek as their breaths mingled. She ran her fingers through his hair, pulling him closer until there was no space left between them and she could feel the beating of his heart against her chest.
