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.

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

Piper was sitting at the foot of her bed, tears running down her face. Cole moved over to her quickly and knelt in front of her. He wrapped her in his arms, hugging her tight. He felt her crying against his chest.

Cole ran his hands through her hair, not saying anything. He didn't know what to say. Part of him was hurt. Hurt because earlier he had thought that Piper was in love with him, but now she was acting like she was devastated by Leo's betrayal because she still loved him.

Piper finally pulled out of his embrace. "I'm sorry I didn't want you to come in Cole. Thanks for doing it anyways."

"Anything I can do Piper, I will. I know how much his betrayal has hurt you. You loved him, and he used you." Cole said.

Piper shook her head. "Cole, I don't know for sure what I am feeling right now. I am hurt, and confused, and shocked. I am hurt that Paige would betray me like this, by falling in love with my husband. But, I'm not better. I wanted my sister's husband."

"Piper, your confused. You don't love me. You never slept with me. You didn't do to Phoebe what Paige did to you. Besides, Phoebe doesn't love me, You do love Leo." Cole said, reaching out and cupping her cheek.

"No Cole. Don't tell me how I feel, I know me well enough to know my own feelings. I haven't loved Leo for a long time. I just couldn't break his heart, I thought he loved me. I couldn't betray him because I thought he would never betray me" Piper said.

Cole stood up, running his hands through his hair again. "Piper, its okay to be angry that your husband cheated on you, you don't have to deny your love for him just because he hurt you."

Piper jumped up. "You don't get it." she screamed at Cole. "I'm not mad or angry that Leo cheated on me. I am hurt because Paige betrayed me, that's true. But damn it Cole, I'm not angry that he had an affair, I don't love him."

"Then what are you angry about Piper? I don't understand why you are yelling." Cole said.

"I am angry because I almost let you walk out of my life for good because I couldn't betray him, when he was betraying me the whole time. I almost gave up true love to protect a man who had no interest in protecting me. That's what I am pissed about." Piper yelled at Cole.

Cole was shocked. Piper loved him? "Piper?" was all he could say.

"Damn it Cole. I love you. I don't want you to leave. It was killing me that you were going to, but I couldn't betray him. I would have lost you for good, and all along he wasn't anymore interested in me then I was in him. Don't leave me Cole. Don't go. We are both free. I want you. I need you. "

Cole walked over to her, closing the distance between them quickly. He grabbed her by the arm, and looked down her eyes. She loved him. He leaned down and kissed her. His mouth found hers, and he didn't want to leave. She wrapped her arms around his neck, running her fingers through his hair.

Finally Cole pulled away from her. "Piper? Are you sure?" he whispered.

"Yes Cole. I have loved you since the night we kissed at P3. I have denied myself that love because I was married, but obviously my husband and I weren't meant to make it work, and I'm not going to try anymore. I want to be with you." Piper said.

"Oh sweet Piper." Cole whispered, gathering her in a hug.

"I love you Piper." he said.

"I love you Cole." she responded. She reached up and pressed her lips to his once again, anxious to reclaim the fire he stirred in her.

Cole felt her mouth open to him, and he explored her slowly. She tasted incredible. He couldn't believe he was holding he in his arms like this. He had wanted her. He had come so close to losing her. If he had left before they had discovered Leo and Paige, he would have never had a chance to be happy and make her happy.

Cole pressed her as close to him as she could. He started a trail of kissing down her neck. She moaned as he lips sent trails down her body.

"Cole?" she whispered.

"Yes?" he mumbled against her skin.

"I want you." she breathed.

She didn't have to ask him twice. Cole lifted her in his arms and laid her down on the bed, covering her face with kisses as he unbuttoned her shirt.

Piper felt more and more unbelievable with every kiss, every touch they shared. Being with Cole was unlike anything she had ever felt.

He tasted every part of her body, and she tasted most of him in return. When he finally entered her, it was like fireworks. Pipe never knew this was the way it was supposed to be.

Piper laid on Cole's chest. His arm was wrapped firmly around her naked body, his head leaned down close to hers. Their legs were tangled together under the blankets.

"This is right where I want to be." Piper said softly. "I can't believe all of this has happened. My husband slept with my sister, and I fell in love with my other sister's husband. This sounds like Jerry Springer stuff."

Cole smiled. "I am so sorry that Leo hurt you Piper." he said.

"Don't be. I'm not hurt by Leo at all. I am mad that he didn't just tell me, so I could be with you freely. The only one I am hurt by is Paige. She is my sister. I know that I shouldn't be mad at her though, because I'm not different. I have done the same thing to Phoebe. I did just make love to her husband."

"And it was the best I have ever had." Cole whispered in her ear, feeling her giggle. He got serious. "Look Piper. Your not the same. Yes you are in love with your sisters husband, and yes you just slept with me. But, Phoebe doesn't love me. We haven't slept together in five months. She hasn't even called me or come home in two days. I think Phoebe would be glad to get rid of me." Cole told her.

"You know what Cole. Let's just make the rest of tonight about us. I just discovered true love, and I don't want nothing to ruin that. Let's worry about Paige, Leo and Phoebe tomorrow.

"Sounds good to me." Cole said, moving so he was laying over Piper. He brought his lips down to hers, tasting her more. He couldn't get enough of her sweet kisses.

He left her lips slowly, making his way down to her chest, covering everything in between with kisses.

Piper felt happiness and bliss rush over her as he entered her yet again. She knew she would never get tired of being with Cole, of coming together as one with him.
