Phoebe woke to a soft feather sensation stroking her eyebrow. She slowly opened her eyes.

"Cole…" She said sleepily as she sat up and slid her arms around his large chest.

"Hey…you are beautiful even when you sleep." He said pressing her tight into his frame.

"What are you doing here? How did you?" She stopped when she also saw Rico standing in her room.

"It's amazing what people will do for money" Cole said glancing behind him at Rico in that sexy glance with his mouth slightly curved.

"I have made arrangements for us Phoebe…I need you to make a decision." Cole said sliding his large hands down to her slender soft shoulders.

"Anything…as long as you tell me we can be together"

"I have made an agreement with the feds, that if I gave up my black book, and leave the country, I could go peacefully" Cole kissed her eye gently.

"There is something you are not telling me Cole...I can see it in your eyes"

Cole sighed and smiled lazily down at phoebe's small hand that rested on his upper leg.

"There is one condition…I have to change my name, and so do you Phoebe…that is if you decide to come with me."

Phoebe looked at Rico who was watching her carefully in that suspicious expression. Maybe he was simply waiting for Phoebe's answer, or maybe it was just habit after all the years of their line of work.

Phoebe looked back at Cole. He was watching her carefully, searching her eyes, her face, reading her body for what she might decide.

"Stop it! Both of you! I can't even think, with all this male intensity!" Phoebe screamed suddenly

Cole smiled and nodded to Rico. Rico nodded back and walked to the door as he opened it Prue and Piper fell into the room. Everyone looked at them and they scrambled to their feet.

"What are you Ladies doing? Rico looked at Prue. He gave her a wink.

Prue looked away from his intense stare trying not to be caught up in his dark sexy eyes. Those cold inviting eyes that seemed to stir something in her body.

Rico followed the girls out to give Cole and Phoebe privacy.

"This is madness Cole" Phoebe said as she suddenly reached for Cole pulling his face down to hers. She pressed her forehead against his and inhaled his sent that she just couldn't get enough of.

He made her feel so alive and safe. The feel of his hair in her fingers and the warmth of his skin. She felt she just had to touch him, like her body needed to feel him all the time.

"Phoebe I know what I am asking of you, I am also leaving everything I know, But I can do it only if you are by my side. If you say no than I will live with your decision and I will go. But you must know I will not live long with out you. You are everything to me and somehow my heart is not complete with out you."

"You really are not giving me much option are you?" Phoebe said brushing his lips with hers.

Cole insides tightened the feel of her touch made him weak. He was convinced he couldn't be with out Phoebe. She had changed his world and made him feel again.

"I'm just being truthful Phoebe. I need you lose to me all the time. I need to feel you lying next to me, your skin on mine, I cannot sleep unless you are with me." He moaned as he trailed his lips down her long neck leaving a trail of fire where his lips had been.

Cole slid his hands along her leg and wrapped it around his waist. He slid his hand up her night shirt and around to her back, laying her under him. He pressed himself between her legs and Phoebe felt the hard evidence of his arousal.

It stole her breath and only incited her desire even more.

"Cole…" Phoebe whispered, "You are seducing me to bend to your will"

"Is it working?" Cole hoarsely teased as he slid her shirt up to kiss her stomach.

"Maybe…I'm not sure yet….I think I need more persuasion…" Phoebe ran her into the black curls on his head and pushed him lower.

She could feel Cole smiling on her skin through his kisses as he willingly followed her demands.

"So…when are you going to give me a chance?" Rico casually asked Prue.

Prue looked at Piper who was across the kitchen pouring herself coffee. Piper spilled the coffee a little and smiled at Prue.

"This is a great cup of coffee Piper…" Rico said looking from Prue to Piper, Then back to Prue," I would like to take you out for a real cup of coffee sometime. You would like this little café I know…in Venice."

"How would you know what I like?" Prue snapped trying to steady her cup of coffee in her hands.

"I would like that café I think" Piper spoke up

Neither Rico of Prue looked at her this time. They were looking at each other. Prue was trying to glare, but Rico wasn't backing down.

"Would you like more coffee Rico?" Piper asked suddenly standing in front of him with the coffee pot.

"Your very kind…some of that kindness needs to rub off onto you sister…melt that heart of hers."

"Don't mind her, she hasn't been laid in a long long time" Piper said with a cheese grin.

"Piper!"

"What ? It's true Prue" She said and casually walked out of the kitchen with a giggle.

Prue closed her eyes and tried to hide the redness that was crawling up her face.

"Well now…that's just a crying shame" Rico said trying not to laugh., "Some poor fella has know idea what he is missing" He finished sitting his coffee cup down.

Prue stiffened as Rico moved closer to her.

"I don't know who you think you are coming in here and making yourself at home? Saying things you know nothing about!"

"You are right, I apologize, but I do know one thing" Rico was in front of Prue know with both hands around her holding the counter.

"What's that!" Prue snapped

"There will be a day when you ask me to kiss you" Rico smiled at her and walked out.

Prue folded her arms, she was furious at this man and his arrogance, but something in her told her he was probably right. It brought a smile to her face.
