#  I

If Coral had to rank her current breakup situation on a scale from one to ten. One being a normal, healthy breakup, to ten,being the absolute worst, it would have ranked as a twenty. An all-time worst in her, or anyone else's she'd ever known breakup history. Not that she had had many breakups in her twenty-six years of life, but still to her, this felt like the absolute worst. It also couldn't have come at a worse time in her life either. She had just finished her classes and obtained her realtor's license. She opened her very own real estate agency all in just six months ago. She was spread thin financially and stressed to the max with all of her bills and many business expenses. She was trying not to complain. Her business was thriving, but it was still new. She had landed some unexpected high profile clients within her community a few weeks ago. She had also hired a receptionist, for when she was out and needed someone to answer the phones. She had invested all of her money, time and energy into this. Even if it was a small one room building with an open bay area that she could only put minimal things inside of it. She paid two thousand dollars a month for it, or rather for the location. Nonetheless, it was hers and it was turning out to be the only wise decision she had made for herself in her young adult life .

She had met Dean, her atrocious ex, on a cruise to the Florida Keys a year and six months ago. She had enjoyed his company immensely, and liked the confident manner in which he spoke of his financial savvy ways and his career. She had also thought he had had a great sense of humor and style when they had first met. He seemed to have secretly reveled in the fact she was eleven years his junior and gorgeous to boot. Her being African American didn't bother him, and his age had'nt bothered her. Looking back on it now,she had seen all the warning signs and knew her naivete played a big part in why he had lied to her so often, and she had fallen for it so easily. She recalled when he had once told her all his ex girlfriends had been substantially younger than him. In the beginning of their relationship he had told her he was thirty-three, but after three months of living together, and his guard decreasing daily she had found out he was actually forty-three, and in financial straights from a six-year marriage that had gone bad. As the months progressed into a year she began working two jobs while going to school to financially support them after he finally admitted to her that he was flat out broke. Even then she just wanted him to know she could hold it down and that she wasn't the type of woman to let her man not having money get in the way of her truly loving him, being there for him and understanding him, so she did. The more she did for him the more lax he became and would admit horrible things to her. He finally let her know the truth about the cruise they had met on, and why he was even there, which she had always thought was a romantic way of them meeting and loved telling her friends about it. She found out from him that the cruise had been an anniversary present he had purchased for his ex-wife during their marriage before he had known she had filed for divorce. Instead of giving her half of the money for the trip he went on the trip without her instead. He had decided to mention that little tidbit of information to her a month ago today. She had been living with Dean for a year and a half now, in an overpriced condo he insisted they move into, so he could sell his house from his previous marriage. The house sold for twenty-thousand dollars less than what he had expected, and it seemed like Dean had changed into a greedy, spiteful, condescending jerk. He was constantly showing up at her business to check up on her. He would make lame excuses as to why he didn't want to go out. Then he would say 'If you pay for our night out I will go,' and of course he would order the most expensive thing on the menu. That incident had happened a few weeks ago. Before he had dumped her so dramatically today.

Earlier in the a.m. she had received a phone call from a undisclosed female. Who had informed Coral that he had been 'hooking up' with her behind her back, all the while she had been working her ass off to make ends meet and start her own business. It seemed that Dean had been cheating on her with multiple people. She was also informed Dean may have given the female that called a sexually transmitted disease. She had already paid a visit to her gynecologist. Luckily, she hadn't caught anything from him. She never thought she would be cheated on or having to be screened for STD's. She thought she had done everything right. She had always been a good girl. She had been a great girlfriend. She confronted him about the affairs before she had gone to work and he had reassured her that he was done cheating on her. He was sorry and wanted to make it work. She felt like a used idiot now, standing on her parent's front lawn, carrying in her personal items and half packed boxes into their home that had been thrown out by Dean himself. He had dumped her without so much as a heads up. She didn't know which emotion she should feel more heartache or anger.

The neighbors hadn't come out to look,yet. Thank goodness Coral thought, but she still saw the front window curtains from a few houses open and close. She was so embarrassed. This was the last thing her parents needed to be dealing with, or watching her deal with it for that matter. Her friends had warned her about Dean. They all had told her he was full of shit and was lying to her, but she chose to stand by her man, and her man had chose to leave her without so much as a word. Her father had called her right after she had showed the Benson Lodges property to a newly relocated family. She was informed that Dean had pulled up with a huge U-pack truck and dropped off every single item she owned out of their condo and right here. Since she was only twenty-six with very young credit she had needed a co-signer on the condo, and Dean had been that. He didn't even have the decency to keep his name on the lease so she could have a place to stay, or to tell her he was leaving her so she could find one. She felt knots form in her stomach, and she wanted to scream and cry right there in the middle of her parents yard.

Her mother gently patted her on the back. That startled and snapped her back to reality.

"Darling, you didn't have to rush over here. Your father and I would have gotten this cleaned up."

"I know it mom, but it isn't your responsibility. It's my mess to clean up."

"Yes, it is dear, but you have work. Really honey, it' alright."

Coral downcast her eyes in shame and felt the sting of unshed tears in the back of her throat as she saw all of her personal items in messy piles across her parents front lawn. "This is so embarrassing."

"Oh dear, everyone has been through a messy breakup."

"No mom, it's not that." She said quietly.

"What is it then sweetie?" Her mom asked.

"It's the fact that I have been paying this slime ball's way for the past year. I have dealt with his judgmental family. His crazy and jealous ways. I still defended him after he cheated on me, and the best he could do was to leave me and throw my crap all over your lawn. I feel so violated, and disrespected. I have nowhere else to go. He knows that. He could have dropped this off at the office. He could have called me. Why didn't I listen? I'm sorry Mo-"

Her mother cut her off. She knew her daughter was babbling and on the verge of panicking. "Don't be," She chimed in. "Everyone is entitled to find their way. That's what you're doing.You have somewhere to go. You can always stay here. You're a part of this family. This is always your home." Her mother smiled at her lovingly.

It made Coral smile, and a tear of gratitude fell at the same time. She re-situated the box she held in her arms and took it into her parents house...

Three hours, and a very pissed off Coral later, she had arrived at her office. She saw a black Mercedes parked next to her reserved spot not really giving it too much thought as she pulled her smoke gray Mustang into her parking space. She got out of her car and slammed the car door shut hard. She was deep in thought about how much of a complete and total waste of time, resources, and energy her ex-boyfriend had been, and how she wished her car door was his face. She wanted revenge, and the best revenge to Coral was success.

She was striding across the parking lot. Her beautifully toned, cocoa legs were swallowing up the pavement with each long stride, looking every bit the part of a sexy young Realtor. She wore a high-waist black pencil skirt and a white, silk,v-neck, formal dress shirt underneath a black blazer that had gold ornately sewn into the seams. On her feet she wore black, eight-inch heels. Underneath she wore expensive black thigh highs and matching garter belt, lace bra, and panties. She wore bright red lipstick. Making her full pouty lips look enticing. She carried her designer purse in her left hand along with her clipboard.

She opened the door to her office and was greeted by the bell she had installed and two extremely handsome gentleman standing in her waiting room. She could tell her receptionist Valerie was attracted to them. She watched as her receptionist openly stared at them from where her tiny desk sat. Neither one seemed to mind. She took off her designer oversized sunglasses and gave them her most gorgeous professional smile. She nodded her head at both men, not being able to decide which one was more handsome.

"Hello," she said cheerfully, hoping she didn't sound as irritated and downtrodden as she felt today.

Both men had stood up upon her entering her office. One wore a dark gray suit and the other wore a navy blue one. They could pass for brothers she thought. Both men were tall, athletic build, with dark superbly trimmed hair, both had dark, sexy, features, strong chins, chiseled noses, and no facial hair. It was like they had stepped out of an Italian Vogue fashion magazine. Tall, dark, and handsome didn't begin to describe these two gentleman.

"I'm Coral."

She shook both of their hands. Each gave her a firm but gentle handshake.

Valerie quickly made introductions.

"Miss Coral, this is Lev Delouse and Inigo McRay. They were interested in possibly acquiring some rental properties here and in the surrounding areas."

"Oh, I see."

"Yes," Inigo continued, "We heard you are the best Realtor in town. We wanted you to show us some of the properties you are selling."

She noticed his eyes kept landing on her mouth every time she spoke to him. She kept her professional facade intact and just smiled and nodded.

Then Lev spoke.

"We are very interested in purchasing some property here in town. We want to look at your best, and may have you tied up looking for houses for the rest of the day, but it will be worth it."

She didn't know why the way he said that sounded sexual to her, but it did. She caught Lev's eyes slowly roaming all over her body. She felt a slow warmth creep on her face. These two men were openly ogling her. She liked it. It had been months since someone had shown her any interest.

"Well, let me get my property roster. What type of property would you like to view first?" She asked.

"Surprise us." Inigo supplied.

Coral smiled. "Very well. If you gentlemen will excuse me for a moment."

She brushed past them noticing both smelled incredibly tasty. She loved a man who had great taste in cologne and could wear it. She pushed the gate that separated her desk and the lobby and went to her desk. She opened her top left drawer and pulled out a rental property roster. By the looks of their suits she knew she could show them the houses that were usually a showcase in her real estate game. She had learned quickly. Show the client the most beautiful, expensive house, and it won't be hard to get them to purchase one that may be a little out of their price range. She could just see her commission check if she landed one rental property and two homes. Six percent of that would definitely help her with a down payment on a new place. She was getting giddy just thinking about it. With the rosters in her hand she walked back over to the two men.

She saw both of them staring appreciatively, at her. As if they were appraising her. She put an extra sashay in her hips when she walked towards them. The looks on their faces let her know they were enjoying it, and if adding a little bit more swing in her ass helped her sell two large properties in one day, she could live with that. She was single and starting over, or at least that was what it felt like. Dean had played a very low down card. She was so stunned and hurt by his actions. She put Dean in the back of her mind and noticed the two sexy gentlemen still looking at her. She made sure her smile was intact and in place.

"Are we ready?" She asked both men. They nodded agreement. "Valerie, we should be back by three or four. If Mrs. Hogelworth calls, please set up a time I can have her sign the rest of those closing papers."

Her receptionist nodded her head with a smile and Coral was off.

All three quietly walked to the parking lot.

"I thought we could take my car," Lev suggested. "I mean, it will save time, and we can talk more about our real estate plans on the way there."

Fair enough she thought and obliged his request with little objection. She saw nothing wrong with the idea.

Inigo held open the front passenger door of the mercedes for her. He was smiling warmly at her and only when her long legs were inside the vehicle did he close the door and get in the back seat of the luxury vehicle. Coral adjusted her chair so his knees wouldn't be cramped. Lev turned the key in the ignition, and they were off. The car rode beautifully on the winding roads, and the landscape seemed to blur by as they drove to the property.

"You seemed very upset when we first saw you." Lev mentioned, taking his eyes off the road only for a second to steal a glance at her.

Coral wasn't sure he was addressing her but knew that she was the only person he could be addressing.

"Yes. It's nothing. Just ex- boyfriend trouble." She saw Lev's expression change for a flash of a second. She rushed on. "Not that it would interfere with my business. I am a professional an-"

He interjected. "It's o.k. I was just curious."

Inigo then chimed in. He had a sexy baritone voice that held a slight French accent. "I can't believe a beautiful woman like you would be having boyfriend trouble."

"Oui," Lev agreed with a quiet chuckle in his voice, as the vehicle climbed a hill and the view seemed like a beautiful backdrop. "You deserve all the good things life has to offer, and that means a good man. A man who knows how to treat you."

Coral swallowed hard. They had been in the car for less than five minutes, and they were talking about her love life. She loved the way these two men perceived her to be intelligent, independent, and beautiful. Maybe this was their way of buttering up the real estate agent to get them to get the best price on a house. Whatever it was, Coral felt slightly uneasy about it. She decided to change the subject.

"The property we are going to see is one of the top listings in this area. May I ask exactly what you are looking for in regards to real estate?" She hoped she sounded as cool and professional as she was trying to put on.

"We are relocating to this area and plan to buy multiple properties. First homes for ourselves and then a place for our business. Inigo is my partner. We share everything fifty-fifty."

She smiled, trying to keep her eyes on the road ahead. His last words seemed sexual to her yet again. She shook it off and chalked it up to her not being around such handsome and well to do men, and her and Dean's sex life had been nonexsistent the past eight months.

"That sounds like a very good working relationship." She said as she crossed her legs and caught Lev watching her out of the corner of his eye. Yes, the attraction was mutual. This was business she reminded herself. She had to keep it that way she chided herself. "If you like this area I can see if there are any other potential sellers in the same proximity so that you will be close to one another."

Inigo smiled. "That is why we came to you Madame. You have a gift."

Coral felt herself blushing and brimming with pride. By the time they reached the property she was glowing from the many compliments they had bestowed upon her on the way to the property. After having such a shitty morning this seemed to be her silver lining in the clouds. She usually didn't let men compliment her the way these two were, but she felt so weak emotionally. She enjoyed them stroking her ego and boosting her self-esteem. She kept reassuring herself that she was o.k., and once again she shook the feeling of sadness off. She got out of the car and led them inside the spacious home. It was a gray cobblestone house with a half circle driveway made of white gravel. The shutters on the house were black. It looked like a miniature castle. There were two stories of bay windows and a tower. She opened the large mahogany door. Lev held it open while she and Indigo went inside. Once inside, both men walked around the first floor speaking both French and English, expressing their extreme like for the home. Coral followed them from room to room answering any questions they had. The home was still furnished, and it added even more charm.

They were standing in the kitchen now. Coral was looking through her file on the home. Lev was looking out the sliding glass window that led into the indoor greenhouse, and Indigo was looking out into the lush green backyard.

"So how much is the asking price for this home?" Lev inquired as he turned and walked to where Coral was standing.

"They are asking for one million dollars for this home. Furniture can be included."

She heard Inigo say something in French and laugh. He turned around and then walked over to her as well. He was strikingly handsome to her. They both were. She couldn't believe she was showing them the Peterson home. The home that no one could sell over the past eight years. The Petersons had let her take it on, not because they thought she could sell the property, but because they were tired of paying the other realtors listing fees for a home they had lost hope in selling. Coral smiled at their doubt.They had given her this property and the promise that if she sold it for their asking price they would pay double her commission. Yes, this was amazing.

"My partner will take the house."

She felt her heart pounding and her stomach doing flips. She had sold the home. She would be able to pay for an apartment and possibly fix up her office.

Then she heard Lev finish, "Under one condition."

She couldn't imagine what that condition would be.

"Name it."

He looked deep into her eyes for a moment, and she felt Inigo staring at her as well. The air was filled with unspoken tension.

"We want to ask you more questions. Questions about your personal life."

Coral didn't know if she wanted to do this. She had never met these two men before. Even though they were buying a home that would help her substantially, she still felt like she would be blurring the lines between personal and professional.

"We understand if you cannot, but that is the deal."

She looked at Lev then at Indigo, and couldn't decide who was more handsome. They both seemed to work well together in getting what they wanted and at the moment they wanted to know more about her.Her personal life to be more precise. She didn't know if she could lie, and even if she did, her truth was worse than any lie she could tell, so she conceded. She would answer their questions. No matter how inappropriate or weird. She needed this commission. It seemed as if the minutes went by in silence, but it was only mere seconds when she started talking.

"Alright, you may ask." She walked away from the papers and stood in front of them both. Her delicate hands behind her back.

"Tell us more about why you were upset today," Inigo asked and took a few steps toward her. He was smiling a reassuring smile. "Be honest."

She looked surprised at him saying that. She hadn't expected him to say that to her. Now she knew for sure she couldn't lie to these guys.

"Alright, it may take me a minute. We should sit down somewhere." She said "Oh ! I know just the place! The sitting room. Follow me." She walked out of the kitchen down the hallway to the first door on her right. She opened it and led them down five stairs and into the sitting room of the house. Both men were again impressed at the room and decor as they sat down on the chocolate leather couch. She sat in between them. It felt very intimate to her. Sitting between two such virile, sexy men.This time she couldn't seem to shake that feeling of desire off.

"Please continue," Lev instructed as he sat back, looking the part of a Greek god entertaining a mortal guest. Her nipples hardened at the thought of him having his way with her like a Greek god would have done in the olden days.

"I had a boyfriend," she supplied. "We were together for a year or so. I thought I loved him, and that he loved me, but it turns out that he was just using me. I got a call from my mother this morning at work that my ex boyfriend had dumped all my belongings on her lawn and left town. I have nowhere to stay. No savings left in my bank account because I invested everything into my real estate business. It's just a lot right now, but I will make it and come out on top. I guess I was still thinking about all of it when you saw me walking into my office."

There was silence.It didn't feel uncomfortable to Coral.

"No need to apologize for something someone did to you," Lev finally spoke and rested his strong, tanned hand on her right knee.

She looked at it and then at him. He was smiling at her as if he wasn't touching her bare knee. He removed his hand and put it on top of her hand and then she felt Indigo's hand gently caress her left knee. She should have been scared, but something told her if she were to tell them 'no' they would respect her wishes and still carry on with the business side of this proposal. It was more than that for her. She had wanted both of them since she had seen them standing in her business today. She wanted to take all of her frustration and anger out on their bodies. She felt guilty for not feeling guilty for wanting both of these men at the same time. Even after a man had just broke up with her in such a horrendous fashion.

As if reading her mind she felt Inigo's hand on her breast through her thin silk shirt. Her upper body was pressed against Lev's muscular one. He pushed her tresses away from her ear and began gently nibbling. It was her undoing. Her nipples hardened more and made her core begin to heat up and melt in between her thighs. Her body felt charged with so much unused sexual energy. Inigo's hands felt lovely on her body as he massaged and stroked both her perky mounds underneath her top making her nipples the hardest she could ever remember them being. Inigo saw the imprint of her nipples through her blouse. He lifted up her silk blouse with one hand and popped her left breast out of her black lace bra. She shuddered and moaned when his mouth found her nipple and he suckled gently. Lev put his hand gently on her neck and turned her head in his direction for a searing, blood boiling kiss. Coral thought he was a skilled kisser. His mouth was moved artfully over hers. Their tongues mated in perfect sync. She felt Inigo turn her torso while she was still kissing Lev. He unbuttoned her silk shirt and slowly pulled her skirt up over her soft, toned, chocolate legs. His touch was warm and sensual. Lev broke the kiss and her head was laying in Lev's lap while Inigo arranged her body on the couch. He had removed his suit jacket and was now setting to the task of pleasuring her. His hands went up her skirt to find her black lace panties. He gently slid them off and hiked her skirt up to expose her naked mound of woman flesh. Lev began kissing her again,making her drunk with his kisses until she had forgotten about all the problems that seemed to come with this day. Inigo gently kissed the inside of her thighs and with each kiss he planted she moaned a helpless moan into Lev's mouth. Lev cradled her head with one hand, and with the other he rubbed her sensitive nipples. Her body was on sensation overload. She welcomed it. Inigo's mouth locked onto her clitoris and all coherent thought of the past or present was lost to Coral. All she felt was the blind, hot pleasure. Pleasure she had never experienced before. It rocked her to her core and made her body quiver. She felt Lev's tongue slowly mating with her own while she felt Indigo's tongue working its magic on her delectable folds. She felt him stop and heard him say something in French.

"Wh...What did he say?" She asked breathlessly.

"That you taste delicious. I want to taste you. Kiss Inigo so you can taste what you taste like."

Coral sat up and leaned forward. She wrapped her arms around Inigo's neck and kissed him deep. At first it was like he didn't want to respond to her kiss, but after she slowly traced her tongue around his lips, he obliged her and kissed her with an intensity she didn't know he possessed. She felt Lev maneuver her body so she was still kissing Inigo but her buttocks was now in the air. She felt his tongue on her heat, and she kissed Inigo deeper because of it. She felt like she was floating on air. She moaned into his mouth and felt herself pushing her perfectly round ass in Lev's face. It seemed to make him suck on her mound harder. She continued to kiss Inigo. Inigo took her hand and rubbed it on his trousers. She looked at him. He smiled at her. She smiled back. His cock was big and meaty she noticed. So different from Dean's small, thin one. She felt herself getting excited at the thought of trying to make Indigo's rod fit down her throat. She pulled away from Lev's ministrations and was forcefully pulled back by him. She loved it. She unzipped Indigo's pants as best as she could with Lev devouring her so thoroughly and her body involuntarily reacting to his tongue. She felt him stop.

"Suck his cock baby." Lev encouraged her. He held her hair back for her, and she gently held his rock hard member in her hand. She felt it pulsing and licked the tip. She felt Inigo flinch. So she licked it again, this time swallowing half of it. She heard his breathing. It was changing with each stroke of her mouth, so she kept stroking until she was able to fit his whole cock inside of her mouth. She felt Lev's breath close to her face. "Yes, baby suck my partner's cock. You look so fucking sexy doing it. You deserve to have your fill. You're so beautiful." He pulled her off his partners dick. "Kiss me." He commanded. She did it. The kiss was hot and sultry. She felt him slap her on her thick round bottom, and she got wetter in between the juncture of her thighs from it. She was so turned on by these two gorgeous men who seemed to care about nothing but her pleasure. And so far she was very very pleased with them."Now keep sucking him while I fuck you, Would you like that?"

"Yes, I would." She couldn't believe she had said that aloud, but it was true. She wanted them both.

She began stroking and sucking Inigo's shaft. Inigo was enjoying every bit of it. She felt the big tip of Lev's meat rub her opening. She wanted it to fill her like Inigo was filling her mouth and throat. With one mighty thrust Lev was inside of her. She gurgled on Indigo and shivered from the pleasure she was feeling. It was so intense. His hips moved slowly at first, and she stroked Indigo's cock with her throat with the same rhythm Lev was stroking her sugar walls. It was a circle of endless pleasure and Coral was the main receipieant. She felt her pussy gushing and knew she would be climaxing soon. Lev's john was a perfect fit. He knew how to work it too. She felt his hands reach around and squeeze her nipples. That was her undoing. She came all over him. He stopped, pulled her up, and turned her around and she sat down on Indigo's big cock. She felt like he would rip her apart. It took a few seconds for her body to adjust to his size, but once it did he felt amazing inside of her as well. Lev was standing in front of her. She could see his member was glistening with her juices. She slowly licked her cum off his cock. Lev moaned at her touch, and she was lost to the pleasure Inigo was giving her as he held fast to her tiny waist and pounded her even smaller pussy. She tried to keep sucking Lev's cock, but she didn't know if she would be able to handle it the way he was pounding her. Everyone was once again in a fog of pleasure and bliss. She felt her body contract and orgasm again as Lev's meaty dick drove in the back of her throat. Inigo slid out of her, and both men stood over her stroking their nice rods in front of her. She scooted forward, so she was mere inches below both of their cocks. She grabbed both and began stroking them. She watched as both men closed their eyes in ecstasy. She sucked Lev's cock while she stroked Inigo's and switched. She loved having this kind of power over not one, but two gorgeous men. It made her feel beautiful and confident. This was like a fantasy come true.

Inigo made her stop and helped her up off the floor. He laid down on the couch first and then had Coral lay on top of him while his meaty member plundered her tight cavern. Lev sat beside them massaging and rubbing Corals bum. It felt good. She felt both his hands open her ass cheeks wide. His pinky finger pressed against it and her sugar walls instinctively tightened around Indigo's cock. Slowly he slid his pinky into her butthole and an intense hum of pleasure strummed through Coral as Inigo continued. Lev was using his middle finger now, and the intensity seemed to peak. She felt herself cumming all over Inigo and once more, she felt Lev's hands opening her ass cheeks.

"You got her so creamy," she heard Lev say. "Be very still." He told them. They stayed still. She felt Lev's Tongue Licking the cream around the place Indigo and she were joined at.

It was one of the most erotic things Coral had experienced. His tongue felt like velvet as it lapped up her cream. He then held her by the back of her head, and French kissed her. She returned the kiss tasting their juices.

She lay back down on Indigos chest and began moving her hips wanting more of his big member. Inigo opened her but cheeks, and she felt Lev on her back, felt the intense pressure of the tip of his rod pressing against her tight sphincter. He pushed slowly and slid his cock in her tight asshole. She was filled up beautifully now, and all she could do was take it. She wanted every inch of them both.

Indigo moved inside of her tight cunt and then Lev moved in her even tighter asshole. Together the two men found a rhythm and Coral was taken to another plane of ecstasy. The pleasure-pain made her body quiver, and her moans were more high pitched and close to whimpers now. She didn't recognize her own voice. Yes, she had never in a million years thought she would have two beautiful studs pounding and filling both her tight holes at the same time. She was such a dirty little slut she thought to herself as her body shook in orgasms with each stroke they gave. She felt lips and hands all over her body, giving it the attention it had been missing for some time. She felt special. She felt like these two men thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world.

Those were her last coherent thoughts as she felt Inigo's big cock shoot a big load of cum inside of her and like a domino effect, she then felt Lev's cock pulsing inside her bum. She cried out and orgasmed. She felt her body shatter into a million pieces. All three lay there on the couch spent from the incredible sex they had experienced.

"Wow !" Coral said moments later when she had regained some of her composure back. She felt the weight of Lev's muscular body slide off of her and onto the couch.

She looked up. She was a bit embarrassed. She had just had fantasy sex with two complete strangers. Gorgeous strangers, but strangers nonetheless. She looked at Inigo first; they were face to face. His eyes were closed, but he had the most adorable grin on his face. A smile of complete and utter satisfaction. He opened his eyes, and she smiled at him. He picked up his head and planted a kiss on her swollen lips. She gently got off of him, disconnecting their union and stood up. Her legs were shaky, and she had a dull throb in both her orifices.

This was exactly what she had needed to help her get over this disaster of a day she thought cheerfully. She looked at both men. Lev lay there with nothing but his unbuttoned dress shirt on, naked from the waist down. He was staring back at her like a tiger that had just eaten a big meal.

Inigo was sitting up. He still had on most of his suit. His shirt was untucked, and his trousers were undone. She then looked at herself. She was a disheveled mess. Her silk blouse was hanging off of her, and her skirt was resting on her hips. She still had on one shoe. Yes, this had to be a fantasy, she thought as she looked at the two gorgeous men.

"It is settled then." Lev spoke breaking her from her thoughts, bringing her back to how they had ended up like this in the first place. "You will be our company's real estate agent."

"What ?" She said. She couldn't believe what she had just heard him say.

"You are a commodity my partner and I would be foolish not to take full advantage of."

"Full advantage is the word." Inigo interjected as he stood up, tucking in his shirt and fixing his trousers . "You are very good in every way, and we see no reason not to add you to our payroll. We have been looking for a real estate agent to hire. Your qualifications are as impeccable as you are. In and out of business. Our company is going global, so we will be buying up at least five to ten properties within the next month in the United States alone."

Coral was speechless. What could she say to them? This was an opportunity of a lifetime, and she hadn't expected it to happen to her. She tried to pull her skirt down. Inigo pulled it back up. He smiled that mischievous smile again.Then the words 'full advantage' rang in her head. She instantly became wet.

"What exactly would I have to do in this position?" She heard herself asking.

She watched Lev getting dressed.

"Help us find real estate for our employees by day."

"And by night?" She asked.

"Be ours." Lev said.

"Yours ? What do you mean?" She knew what he meant. SHe just wanted to make sure that's what he meant.

"My partner told you we share everything fifty-fifty. You will be exclusive to only us in employment and in your private life. We will make a contract. We feel we should have it on paper, so it's more cut and dry.You understand?"

"Yes, I understand." She didn't know if she really did and if was ready for this. She had just been dumped like an unwanted box of puppies by her ex-asshole boyfriend, and she wasn't sure if she could handle two of them dumping her at the same time. "May I have time to think about the offer?"

Inigo was about to say something when Lev interrupted him by saying, "Sure. In the meantime, let's sign the paper on this house."

#  III

The next couple of days seemed to go by like a dream for Coral. She was still astounded at the offer Lev and Inigo had proposed to her shortly after making their acquaintance. She was also seventy-thousand dollars richer because of it. After doing some research she found out that both men were in fact very successful in their business careers. They started out as a small advertising firm in Paris, France. Lev was the brains behind the financial and contractual aspect, and Inigo was the muscle behind the marketing and sales. The two men were smart, and just as charming on paper as they had been in real life when she had met them. They expanded their company across Europe by purchasing real estate and buying out the smaller Marketing competition. To top all of that hey had just closed a billion dollar deal with a major advertising and marketing media agency here in the States. Her clients were on the most eligible bachelor's list and probably members of the elite Fortune five hundred club. Knowing that bit of information made Coral feel a little better about their tryst and a little more nervous about the prospect of working for them. So far, they had been true to their word. Lev had purchased the home right after she had gotten dressed after their tryst in the property's sitting room. To her surprise he had payed cash. She was able to get her six percent commission upfront, as well as pay her listing agent and give the rest to the Petersons' as soon as the two men dropped her back off at her office.

She had never seen a couple so happy as she had when she opened the briefcase with nine-hundred and thirty thousand dollars cash inside of it. She informed them that it was all there's. They quickly and happily signed the closing papers and nearly threw her the house keys. They were out of her office in a flash with their money. It seemed like everyone was happy with the outcome that had taken place because of her spontaneous decision the other day. Her ex-boyfriend paled in comparison to either Lev or Inigo. This was exactly what she had needed she had told herself. She now had enough money to put a down payment on a nice apartment, any one of her choice. She had more than enough now. She thought of purchasing a slightly more expensive condo than what she and Dean had resided in. She smiled at that thought. She would be able to afford it. She would be able to afford a lot of things now. It was short of a miracle for her.

Meanwhile, the Petersons hadn't wasted any time telling everyone and anyone who would listen that Coral had sold their home. A feat no real estate agent in the tri-county area could seem to achieve in the last several years, and she had done it within three weeks time. Her office phone was ringing off the hook. She and Valerie were giddy from the new surge of business that had come her way. Coral was sitting at her desk listening to Valerie set up appointments for houses and business listings. So far by her calculations she would be showing one to three houses a day for the next three months. This was all very exciting to Coral. Her dreams of becoming a successful Real Estate Agent were coming true right before her eyes. She wondered if people who had won the lottery felt as lucky as she did now. She started to question it all in that moment. She had told Lev and Inigo that she would consider their business proposal. She still couldn't seem to wrap her head around why they would want a small time, fresh out of real estate school, person like herself, or why they felt the need to single her out and make her body feel exquisite that day or why she had let them. Once they freshened up and left the house they didn't say a word about it. It was as if it had never happened. All three were back to business professional banter and laughing about buying the biggest house on the hill. When they had dropped her off they both shook her hand, kissed her on both of her cheeks, as was their custom, and left. She hadn't seen them since. She heard the phone ring again. Her receptionist, Valerie answered.

"Coral McGuiness's office...Well hello, Mr.Delouse, how are you today?...I'm great. Are you enjoying your new home?...That sounds so exciting ! ...I will be sure to do that... Let me see if she is available."

Coral smirked as she watched Valerie's demeanor change while talking on the phone with Lev. It amused her that just the sound of his voice had her receptionist sounding like a smitten idiot. Valerie gave her a huge grin and two thumbs up when she noticed Coral was watching her. Coral stuck her tongue out and smiled back, picking up her receiver as Valerie put hers down.

She took a deep breath before she spoke. "This is Ms. McGuinness speaking."

She had been anticipating seeing them again, but now holding the phone receiver in her hand, she didn't know if she could go through with it. She was still slightly embarrassed about what occurred between the three of them at the property. Coral had never done something that sexually risqué in all her life. She could only read about the things they had done to her only a couple of days ago in smut magazines, and now here she was. She acted like some oversexed trollop in front of them. She thought they probably thought she was, even if they didn't act like it, or say otherwise.

"Bonjour Coral, how are you?"

Her pulse started to race just from hearing his voice. Lev. He sounded as sexy over the phone as he had looked in person. Flashes of him kissing her neck and collarbone made her cheeks grow warm. She tried to concentrate on the conversation.

"I'm great! How are you enjoying the new property?" She didn't think she could say anything else without sounding like a complete idiot.

" C'est magnifique ! Inigo and I would like to meet with you today to discuss the proposal we chatted about. Whenever you are free of course."

She swallowed hard and instantly felt nervous. She didn't know if she could look them in the face without blushing, let alone listen to their business proposal. She reminded herself that she promised them she would consider it and decided she had no choice but to meet up with them.

"I am actually free now. I was just here at the office going over my appointments for next week."

"We are staying at the Sherwood Suites. On the top floor. "

"Alright I know where that's located. It will take me about twenty minutes to get there."

"C'est Bon." She heard him say in French. She was happy she had watched all those90's French avant garde films. She knew he had told her that was fine. "See you in twenty minutes." He disconnected the call before she could say 'goodbye'.

Coral sat the receiver back down on it's cradle and turned around in her swivel desk chair. She didn't know if she was ready for what these two men wanted from her. Yes, they were gorgeous billionaires and yes, they were offering her a job of a lifetime. She would be able to travel the world doing the thing she loved the most. It was her dream job. The creme de la creme. She just didn't know if she would be able to handle the other part. The sexual side. She wasn't some seasoned sexual professional. What if they wanted to add more men into the mix? What if they wanted to start tying her up and make her do painful BDSM things? Her mind was racing now as she looked at the large,faux Thomas Kincaid painting that was positioned directly above her desk. Her mother had purchased the replica painting when she first opened her business. Whenever she felt overwhelmed or stressed she would turn around as she just had and look at the painting. The willowy soft grass and the small welcoming cottage seemed to be sweetly nestled by the blue lake. It always seemed to calm her and make her feel a little more grounded in real world situations. Right now however,it wasn't helping. She was staring at the painting and imagined Lev standing in the doorway smiling at her and Inigo fishing in the lake. Both men were beckoning her.

"Miss. Coral ?" She was snapped out of her fantasy and turned her chair in the direction of Valerie, her Receptionist.

"Yes?"

"Aren't you going to meet up with Mr. Delouse?"

"Yes, I Am."

"Is it alright if I close up your office a little early today ? My boyfriend has two tickets to the symphony tonight, and he wanted to take me."

Valerie looked like a very sweet, pretty eighteen-year-old brunette. Coral knew that Even though she was young she still was one of the most organized and mature people she had ever been acquainted with. She was also kind and always went that extra step to make sure her work was quality. She was glad she had hired Valerie, and now she would be able to keep her on and hire her full time.

"Sure Valerie! That's fine with me. You have all the appointments synced to my phone calendar?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Then I see no reason not to. Oh, and before I forget." She opened her top desk drawer and pulled out a small white envelope with her receptionist's name scribed on the front of it.

It was a five-hundred dollar bonus along with her check. Coral wanted to surprise her and since Valerie had just told her she wanted to go to the symphony with her boyfriend Coral thought this couldn't have happened at a better time. She stood up, grabbed her black and white designer tote and put it on her shoulder. She walked through the little gate that separated the office and the lobby. Valerie's desk was situated in a corner in front of a large glass window that had a 'McGuinness Realty' plastic banner hanging on it. There was a large assortment of plants. Her office was small, but Coral had taken advantage of the space and utilized it well. She walked over to Valerie's desk and sat the envelope down upon it.

Valerie picked it up.

"What's this?" She asked as she turned it over in her hands.

"Your bonus. Have fun at the symphony and thanks for all your hard work." She smiled at Valerie and started toward the door.

Valerie opened the envelope and smiled joyously. Her reaction warmed Coral's heart and with that being done she left the office...

#  IV

She had decided to use the valet parking at the hotel and was greeted by a concierge as soon as she entered the building.

"Hello, are you, Miss. McGuinness ?"

She wasn't expecting anyone to be waiting for her when she arrived.

"Yes, I am." She said with a smile. She was suddenly nervous.

"Mr. Delouse and Mr. McRay wanted me to show you to their Suite. Please, follow me."

She nodded her head and followed the concierge to the elevator that lead to their penthouse. They got inside and it all became so real to Coral. Just two days ago this was all a fun self dare. A way to cope with the pain she had experienced in her previous relationship, but now it was turning into a outlined contract. Something she was completely unfamiliar with, and it shook her to her core. She heard the elevator ding, and she stepped out as she followed him a few more feet. There were two entrances opposite each other.

As if he knew she was confused the concierge said,"Our top floor only holds two suites. One is Mr. MccRay's and the other is Mr. Delouse's. I have instructions to take you to Mr. Delouse's."

He turned to the door on his right and knocked three times. Lev answered. Her heart did an unusual skip. She saw now that he had that effect on her. He smiled his lazy, sexy smile, and she felt herself melting in her panties. He was so gorgeous his dark brown hair was slicked back. He had on a gray tailored designer suit and his shoes shone like new money.

"Please come in." He offered warmly.

He was just as handsome as she had recalled. She walked over the threshold tentatively, and the sight she saw took her breath away. She had never been in this kind of suite before. It was so luxurious. She tried to hide her awe. She kept walking and marveling at the beauty of it until she was in the spacious living room.

"Coral where are you?" Lev called out.

"In here." She called back.

"What are you doing in there?" He said as he entered the room. He smiled at her and walked toward her.

"I Just thought... Oh never mind." She felt flustered.

"Come into the dining room. That is where we are holding the meeting."

She followed him into the dining room and saw Inigo looking over the magnificent view of the city. It was beautiful, but she couldn't tell what was more beautiful. Inigo standing there looking like a beautiful Greek statue in a brand new black expensive suit. His brow was furrowed and she wondered why he looked so worried. He was a sexy brooder, and she was able to see a spark of the creative artistic side in him. She liked him she admitted to herself. When he heard Lev and Coral enter he turned toward them, looking directly at her and she felt pinned with his unfiltered gaze. It was raw.

She smiled at him.

He smiled back.

"Hello, Mademoiselle." Inigo said as he walked forward, took her hand in his and brought it to his lips to lightly kissed it.

She felt herself blushing and knew Inigo was enjoying what his touch was doing to her.

"Please sit down." Lev instructed as he held out a chair for her.

She sat down and watched as he walked around the table and took a chair in front of her. Inigo took a seat beside him. The room had gotten quiet and still, but the sexual tension between she and them was still there. She told herself to keep breathing slowly, and she followed her own advice. Inigo slid the contract forward.

"The contract we discussed at our last meeting. We were and are very serious about this.We did hear about the surge of business you are getting because my partner bought that property and I'm sure you will be getting much more, Congratulations!"

"So, wait, you don't want me to sell my business ?"She was confused.Inigo spoke then.

"No, we want you to run your business and work for us as well. It would, of course, require certain upgrades. Like, for example, a larger office space and a full time office manager. Maybe have your Receptionist get her license and sell locally for you. The possibilities are endless." Inigo always seemed so serious.

She looked over at Lev. He seemed just as serious as his business partner. She was astounded at how well they had already planned this out. She looked back down at the contract and read it. It was quiet for a long while, and no one seemed to mind that she was so thorough. She was actually even more impressed at the business contract they had come up with. It all seemed to be in her benefit. She would be paid a half a million dollars salary for a full year of employment. They would take care of her rent and lease a new company car for her every year if she desired. For every year she stayed with the company she also received a seven percent salary increase, along with an additional half a million dollars for savings. Her Healthcare Insurance would be taken care of. Coral read on. She felt like their was a stone in her gut. The contract stated she would spend half her days with Inigo and the other half with Lev when she was'nt working. She would be escorting both of them to all social functions and any vacation getaways they chose. She blushed when she read about the sleeping arrangements and could imagine the absolute mortification of whoever had to draw this contract up. She got to choose at the end of every evening which man, if not both, that she wanted in her bed, but she always had to alternate. She got flashes of sleeping with both men separately, and she didn't know if her emotional well-being could take that. They looked alike, but Coral was smart enough to know they were different men. She looked up from the contract and folded her arms.

"Is there anything you would like to change?" Lev asked

"No, I see nothing wrong with the contract." She said. She could hear how nervous she was in her own voice.

"Then why are you so nervous around us ma cher?"Inigo asked.

She looked at Inigo. It was as if he knew her.

"Please, be honest with us." Lev encouraged her. She thought he had such kind eyes.

"I just got out of a relationship, and now I'm jumping into an unconventional relationship with two men. You both are very kind and generous men. What if this goes bad? What if I'm not what you think I am?"

They looked at one another and both men wore irresistible smiles. It made her relax, and her anxiety was immediately taken down a notch.

"Come here." Inigo said as he stared straight into her eyes.

She felt the invisible sexual magnetic pull they shared. She slid back her chair, stood up, and walked over to the two men. She stood beside Inigo. He pulled out his chair.

"Sit." He commanded.

She knew she should be offended at his no nonsense alpha-male tone and attitude. He was making her sit on his lap, but oddly enough she wasn't. She found it sexy. She wanted to make sure she did this on her terms.She shook her head 'no'.

"Please, sit down," he asked in a much docile tone.

She saw the hint of a smile cross his lips. She could tell he was enjoying their exchange as well as she was. She smoothed her navy colored skirt and sat on his lap. She could feel his muscular thighs on her soft, round, bottom. She felt her mound grow wet.

"Look at me." He held her chin in his hand, and their eyes met once more. She saw the same comfort and desire there she had seen a couple of days ago. She relaxed. "We only want the best for you. We only want to make you happy, and prosperous in business, and in bed. Won't you let us? Didn't you like doing business with us?" He asked.

She couldn't deny they had charm, money and had given her one wonderful sexual experience she would never forget. She knew she could have that again, if only she would just sign the papers. Was it that simple? Sure, She reassured herself. She could have fun with them she just didn't know if she could do it for years. She didn't know. Did they just want to make her happy? She had verified them. They had both checked out. There was an obvious physical attraction between her and both men. She felt so lucky that two handsome, virile men would go through so much trouble to acquire her business acumen and her physical affections. She felt a hand massaging her back and realized it was Lev. She didn't move. She just let him touch her. Inigo was rubbing his thumb along the inside of her thigh slowly. She felt her body once again betray her, and she couldn't resist. Inigo pulled her face to his and kissed her deep. He broke the kiss, and she turned her head only to be greeted by a hot, wet, searing kiss from Lev.

He leaned her forward and whispered, "Say 'yes'. We want you. "

She looked into both the men's eyes and saw that they meant what they were saying. They both wanted her. She couldn't imagine her life without her ex-boyfriend a few days ago, and now she was contemplating taking on two lovers. They were both so sexy and enticing. If she decided to get out of the contract early, she still got to keep her money for the initial sale of Lev's home, and she could still run her real estate company. She already enjoyed their company and couldn't wait for the adventure that was to come. She wiggled on Inigo's lap, and she felt his hard response to her. She leaned forward and slid the contract toward her. Turning it around and flipping to the signature page. She held up her left hand and as if on cue Lev handed her a pen. She scrawled her full name Coral Rochelle McGuinness, in a nice flourish. Set the pen down atop the paper. She turned and looked back at them. Both men kissed her on the opposite cheek, and she smiled at their silliness.

"Let's toast!" Inigo said and planted another kiss on her lips.

She was smiling with a newfound joy. She was going on a new adventure in her life. A new chapter was beginning. She embraced it, and all that may come with it. She smiled to herself. She had a feeling she was going to be doubling her pleasure every night. Inigo released her from his embrace, and they all stood up. Lev went to the kitchen to get the champagne. She was alone with the mysterious man.

She smiled at him. She would now have time to get to know him. He took her in his arms and kissed her passionately. Coral had never in her life been kissed like this. Inigo was so skilled. His tongue was claiming hers and mating them together in a dance she had no idea tongues were capable of doing. She felt herself grow wetter by the minute. His hands were roving all over her body, and she let out little moans of pleasure. He was making her feel so wanted and desired. She loved it, every second. He abruptly broke the kiss and Coral couldn't believe how lost in it she had been. She couldn't believe she had signed that contract. She could kiss him like this anytime she wanted now and he could do the same. Just then, Lev came back in the dining room.

"Here's the bubbly." He was smiling as he handed Inigo and Coral their own flute of champagne.

Coral smelled it. She loved the light flavor of it.

"Glasses up everyone! Here's to you Coral, may we be able to keep you pleased in business and in bed."

They lightly clinked glasses and drank the champagne. It was crisp and mildly sweet. The bubbles tickled her throat. She noticed that both men were looking directly at her. She knew they wanted her as much as she wanted them. They both kissed her on her lips at the same time, and she knew her life couldn't get any sweeter...

#  Part II: Inspection Of Assets

#

#

#  I

It had been one week since Coral had signed the contract that had changed her life. She hadn't seen the two men since their celebratory drink over her agreeing to their terms. Terms and contracts seemed so out of context when she thought about the way those two men had made her body and mind feel when they touched her with their hands and mouths. She knew she should be ashamed of having a full blown threesome with Lev and Inigo, but she just couldn't bring herself to be.

The truth was she hadn't had that kind of masculine attention, or wild, unbridled sex since she had started having sex, which was around the age of sixteen. There was a time when she believed that the kind of sex she had experienced with them didn't exist. It was only something people had written about, or told their friends about a friend who had done it. She really had though. It was one of the most sexually adventurous and explosive things she had ever done in her life. She had let two of the most gorgeous men she had ever met ravish her body and take her to new sexual heights she hadn't known existed. Just the thought of kissing both men at the same time sent her heart racing and the place in between her legs throbbing mercilessly. That was the last thing she needed at this moment.

Today was her first official day on the job. So far, she was having mixed emotions about it. She had met Inigo earlier that morning, and he was still as gorgeous as she had remembered. She bit her lower lip at the thought of the way he had stared at her from across the empty office space as she talked with the previous owners about the property he and Lev wanted to acquire for their business headquarters. She had been surprised at how quiet he had been, and when he signed the papers he seemed to be staring only at her. It was strange because she had never had any man as handsome as him openly stare at her with such blatant desire in his eyes. She thanked God nothing went wrong during the real estate deal. She knew he had kept quiet because he was testing her, and she gladly accepted the challenge. She loved selling real estate, and knew she had found her niche. She was surprised at how comfortable she was with him as they rode to lunch in his company car. He spoke to her and she instantly felt nervous.

"You are very good with people," he complimented her.

"Thank you," she said quietly.

"It is your job, I know, but I feel like you are genuinely interested in what you do."

She felt herself blushing at his compliment and was happy her skin was coco so she could hide it.

"Yes, I am genuine. People want you to care about them, their lives,and their homes, even if you are only in it for a short while."

"So, do you care about my life?"

She looked at him then, surprised at the intimate question. She was speaking in general and didn't know what to say, so she said nothing instead.

"I care about yours," he continued.

She kept thinking he wasn't serious. He reached over and placed his left hand on her right leg. She felt a surge of electrical impulses of animal magnetism between them.

"I care about your life. I care about how you feel," he continued.

She was shocked at his honesty. It felt uncomfortable because she didn't know if she could reciprocate that same emotion of openness and honesty with him. This was her third time meeting him, and the first time being alone with him.

"Thank you." She was quiet for another moment and continued,"Please, forgive me, I don't mean to come off as cold. I really do appreciate everything you and your partner have done for me."

She felt him softly rubbing her thigh. The little gesture was driving her to distraction. He was staring at her, and she stared back. It was magic. She smiled shyly, and he smiled because he had made her smile. His hand moved under her tight skirt, and she found herself opening her legs to give him better access. He used his free hand and gently pulled her into him and kissed her passionately. She thought his tongue felt wonderful as it invaded and gently swirled inside of her mouth. She melted on the inside and her mind seemed to focus only on the kiss they were sharing. Her hands slid under his jacket, and she felt his strong shoulders underneath. He let out a primal moan in the back of his throat and kissed her deeper. She felt herself holding on to him. He broke the kiss, and she looked at him dazed.

"We are here," he stated.

She looked around to see where they were. It was a pub named Sardies that was situated in the middle of a busy tourist area downtown. She was out of breath. She noticed Inigo looked as if the kiss had never happened. She wished she could do the same.

"My driver says this is a wonderful restaurant to eat fish and chips."

She had never been here before so she really couldn't say if it was or wasn't.

"Let's eat." He said.

He rubbed a finger along her soft lips and the driver opened the door for her. She got out and waited for him. He was quickly beside her and escorted her inside the restaurant. They sat at a table outside on the restaurant's veranda. It was only after their waiter took their order did Inigo speak to Coral once more.

"I'm sorry," he blurted out, and Coral could see he wasn't a man accustomed to apologizing.

"It's alright, really." She tried to reassure him.

" I didn't mean to kiss you like that. It just..."

" It's o.k. I ... I liked it."

"Did you?"

"Yes, I did. You are a very good kisser."

He looked into her eyes and she felt her insides doing flip flops. She knew if she didn't break the stare she would lose all track of her thoughts. She looked away and smiled.

"Merci," he said, and the waiter brought their food and drinks.

The two ate fish and chips in amicable conversation. Coral had never had fish and chips, and Inigo had explained to her why he loved eating them.

"When I lived in London, I stayed above a pub. I was very poor, searching for work, any work that would pay, and I was a student at University. I could only afford to eat fish & chips. Now, whenever I have a successful day I like to have a basket of fish & chips. It's a little tradition I have. A reminder of where I came from. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not, I have really enjoyed it." She grinned, and he let out a little chuckle. His excitement for the simple pleasure of eating cod and french fries with her made her smile, and that made both of them relax even more. She spoke again. "I'm just curious as to when you and me... That is to say, we.... um only have a couple of more hours together before I see your business partner."

He could tell she was nervous talking about their arrangement.

She averted her gaze every time and couldn't bear to ask when they would be returning to her home for their midday session.

"Our other half of the bargain," he had put it tactfully for Coral's sake. She looked as if she would die of embarrassment. He hid his amusement as to not offend her.

"Yes, Sir." She agreed, catching his implied meaning, and secretly relieved she didn't have to say it.

"Are we back to 'Sir' now?" He quipped.

"I'm sorry, Sir, I mean Inigo." She could feel her very the last shred of modesty dangling by a thread.

"Coral I hope you understand I will not be joining you back at your home today. I am however, very pleased, extremely pleased, with how you handled our client, and how our lunch has gone. Nothing else is required of you today. I have two conferences, so the rest of my day is full of work. I am in need of a walk before I go back to the office. Please feel free to have my driver take you home." He reached across the table grabbed her hand and lightly kissed the back of it. He was so mysterious to her. He got up and she followed suit. He tucked her into the car and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Until tomorrow."

She nodded. He shut the door, and the vehicle was off to her home...

#  II

The car had dropped her off at her new condominium, and hours later she was getting ready to see Lev. He had texted her letting her know that his secretary had left her a gift in her foyer. She opened the box to find a powder blue chemise with white garters, stockings, and matching nine inch (very expensive French designer) heels. She looked at the tag on the babydoll top it read $600.00. She almost dropped the garment on the floor as if it had turned into a snake and bit her. She had never owned any piece of clothing, let alone lingerie that cost that much. She was shocked and flattered at the thought of Lev purchasing this for her to wear for him tonight. She picked up the box from the table in the foyer she had placed it on. A thin small white square piece of tissue wrapping paper fell out. She looked and saw it was a note for her with the words; 'Wear Me Tonight !' inscribed on it.

She smiled as she put the sheer pieces of material neatly down on her new king sized bed and waited until she was freshly showered to put the sexy lingerie on. She decided to wear a minimal amount of makeup; lashes, eyeshadow, blush and a nude lip gloss that made her lips look like a perfect miniature heart. She wore her hair down and let her big curls hang freely behind her. She put on her black overcoat, slid on the expensive shoes and left her home. The same driver was waiting beside the vehicle in front for her home. He smiled cordially at her and greeted her politely.

"Evening Ma'am."

He held open the door for her. She got in. He closed it behind her, and she watched as he slid into the driver's seat. They drove in silence. Coral was still in a bit of a shock. She couldn't believe she was actually sitting in the back of a limousine, going to one of her bosses homes for a sexy rendezvous. She felt her phone vibrating in her purse. She opened her small clutch and checked the notification on her phone. It was Dean. She looked at the phone. She hadn't spoken to him since the whole 'break up ' thing had happened, which had only been a few weeks ago. She could feel her mood changing from nervous to angry. She pressed the 'talk' button.

"Hello."

"Hello, Coral It's me, it's Dean."

"What do you want?"

"I was wondering if I could come over and talk to you."

"About?"

"About what happened between you and me."

"What's there to talk about? You left me and put my shit all over my parents' lawn. I got played. Was there anything else we needed to clarify?"

"Coral, I know you're upset, but I couldn't have you dragging both of us down."

That comment really pissed her off. She disconnected the call and lightly threw her cell phone back into her bag.

"Everything o.k. Miss?" Inquired the driver.

She had forgotten all about him having become so engrossed in the thought of kicking Dean in the balls for leaving her the way he had.

"Yes, everything is fine," She lied, "Just a loser calling."

She saw the driver smile at her statement. She looked out of the window and saw they were on the same scenic route she had taken with Lev and Inigo that fated day. She thought it was ironic her emotions mirrored that day today. Her mother had always told her there were no such things as coincidences, and she was starting to believe her.

She saw the home come into view and once more her stomach was in knots. The driver pulled the car to the front door. She was expecting the driver to assist her but was pleasantly surprised when Lev opened the door for her. Her breath caught in her throat as she stared at him. He was even sexier than she recalled, tonight he was wearing white trousers, without a shirt or shoes. He looked as if he were on vacation. His casual look seemed to make him look even sexier to her. He was still holding on to her hand when he waved goodbye to the driver and walked them inside of his luxurious home. Coral smiled over the thought of her being the one who had sold him this lovely home and was impressed with the few week's time he had managed to turn it into his own. She wondered when he had found the time.

"Please, take off your coat and make yourself at home," he offered coolly, as if she were not wearing slinky lingerie underneath her jacket and this was not a rendezvous.

She was feeling a bit out of sorts. It was easy putting these garments on, but now it seemed like she couldn't show them off, herself. She was so nervous. She couldn't understand why. She had already been with him and Inigo at once. She sat down on the living room couch. Shortly after Lev appeared with two glasses of wine. He sat down close beside after he sat their glasses down on the table in front of them.

"I see you still have your jacket on."

She nodded her head 'yes'.

He handed her a glass of wine. She could see him holding back a smile.

"Drink it."

She obliged him by downing the entire contents and coughing profusely.

"Slow down," he gently said while his hand rubbed her back.

"I'm fine, thank you," she said and reached for his glass of wine. He quickly took it out of her reach before she could grab it.

"Not until I see the outfit. I picked it out especially for tonight, and I don't really like women who drink to be sexy, besides, you already are."

Coral rolled her eyes. Lev was the fun, outgoing one it seemed. He always knew what to say to make her nerves go away.

She smiled at him.

He winked back at her.

She stood up and started removing the jacket.

"No, not here, let me get a good view stand up, right here in front of me, please." He motioned to space in front of him.

Coral didn't know if she could do this. Her legs were shaky from the nerves she had been feeling all day, and the heels she wore were higher than her norm. She wasn't accustomed to being on display for a man. She dressed well because her occupation required it. She had never had any of her past lovers, or boyfriends for that matter purchase intimate garments for her. That thought saddened her, and the conversation she had had with Dean moments prior rang in her head. She wanted to prove him wrong. Even if she wasn't going to ever see him again. She refused to have him have any type of emotional or psychological hold on her life or her future. She decided then and there that she would no longer be nervous. She would show off the sexy lingerie this gorgeous man purchased for her to wear and then she would once again be engulfed in the flames of their passion so she could forget about Dean.

She slowly walked until she was only a few feet in front of him. She slowly unbuttoned the coats gold buttons with her back to him. She knew why this ball of nerves had decided to show up, but she was determined to get rid of them tonight. Lev was any girl's dream. She didn't want her shyness to affect their chemistry. She took a deep breath, quickly turned around and dropped the coat. It fell quietly around her feet in a black pool on the marble floor.

"My God," she heard Lev say, "You're absolutely Beautiful. I knew this would look amazing on you."

She started to walk toward him.

"Don't move." He instructed her.

He got up from the sofa and began circling her slowly, each time getting closer and closer to her, as if they were magnets attracted to each other, destined to touch and become one. He was so close to her now that she could smell him. He smelled like wine and cologne. She knew he was behind her now, barely touching her. She was anticipating his next move. Her body hummed to his nearness, and all she wanted was him to end the agonizing ache she was feeling in between her legs. His hand cupped her heat through her blue t-back panties, and she felt herself losing her balance. He wrapped his forearm around her waist and gently held her in place. Her back was pressed into his chest. She could feel his heart pounding. He was just as nervous as she was, and that little sign relieved her tension even more. She felt his growing erection as he held her close to him.

"You're so soft," he murmured into her hair.

"You're' so..." she blushed, not knowing what to say.

"Hard," he supplied for her.

They both laughed, easing more of the tension she was feeling. His strong hands gently roamed over her soft skin, and she felt tingles throughout her body. She thought Lev's touch was magic. He turned her around. They were face to face and the passion they shared seemed to ignite into a wildfire, engulfing them both. Coral couldn't explain the overwhelming need for Lev to be deep inside of her. It just happened. He was kissing her, tasting her with his tongue while his hands squeezed and roamed all over her soft, willing, body. She heard a little sigh escape her mouth, and she clung to him as the whirlwind of emotions engulfed them more. They couldn't seem to get their fill of each other. His hands were in her soft hair, and his lips were moving downward. Coral felt as if her body would explode into a million pieces. The way she was feeling was unlike anything she had experienced. The need was intense. He fumbled with her lace ribbon in front and slid the baby doll dress off of her slender frame. She stood there with her perky breasts and hard nipples looking at him shyly.

"Beautiful," was all he could seem to get out.

He was so overcome with need. He kissed her once more and then took one of her bare breasts into his mouth, suckling gently at first and then slowly increasing his pressure. She moaned loudly at the sensation. Her loins were on fire. She felt her knees buckle, and slowly Lev and Coral crumpled down onto the floor together, until they were both on their knees, embracing each other and kissing one another with maddening lust. Coral loved the feel of her bare coco breasts brushing up against his tanned, smooth, rippling skin. It made her nipples ache. His hand slid to the juncture of her thighs and with one swift hard jerk he ripped the lace panties she wore off of her body. She let out a little, shocked gasp, and he once again captured her mouth as his fingers played with her wet core. She was hot and wet and ready for him, but he wasn't. He was teasing her mercilessly, and she felt as if she could take no more. His fingers rubbed her clit, and she felt her body respond. She grew wetter and gripped on to his shoulders for more support. He gently laid her down on the floor and followed her all the while still stroking her woman fire. She let out more moans, and each one grew louder and louder as the feeling inside of her built. He was a madman with his fingers, she thought, and he stuck two fingers inside of her. With lightning speed his head was in between her legs and his mouth was on her heat. She screamed out in pleasure and the pent up feeling inside of her seemed to break like a dam. She heard Lev moan as she orgasmed and her body convulsed against his face. She went limp. He crawled back up to her. He lay on top of her still in between her now shaking. She saw her white cream glistening on his mouth and chin. She blushed.

"Put me inside you," he gently commanded her.

She looked down at his nicely sized, fully erect penis and guided the length of him inside of her. She held her breath as she did it and couldn't get over the way he filled her up so completely. She moaned in pleasure. He began to move within her and she felt something exquisite going on inside of her. She dug her nails into his back and held on to him as he worked her pussy walls slow at first. It was beautiful torture. Her body orgasmed once more and just when she thought he would stop, he began fucking her harder. She let out a long guttural moan and felt herself shatter into a million pieces as she orgamed once more. He pulled his cock out of her and spilled his seed on her abdomen. He then shoved it back inside of her and stroked her fire once more.

Coral and Lev made love like that three more times before Lev decided to call it a night. Coral was too tired to walk up the stairs, so he had carried her to the master bedroom. She was asleep by the time he had tucked her inside of his bed and kissed her lovingly on her forehead...

#  Part III: Firm Commitment

#

#

#  I

Coral awoke to the distant sound of a lawn mower echoing from the bedroom window. Thoughts of last night slammed into her like a semi-truck as she regained consciousness. She sat up on the large bed and rubbed her eyes. She was naked except for the thigh high stockings she could feel she still had on underneath the covers.

Last night had been so extraordinary and different for Coral. She had never thought she would be the type of woman to be ravished like the way Lev had done to her last night. She recalled him climaxing at least four times. Each time on a different part of her body. She blushed as she thought about how much she had begged him for it each time, and how he happily obliged her. She didn't know if she was supposed to stay or go.

She flung the heavy comforter off of her and swung her legs over the side of the bed, all the while scanning the room for her clothing. She grimaced when she realized her Jacket was downstairs. She also recalled only wearing that sheer lingerie, and Lev ripping the panties off of her body as they kissed one another wildly. She looked at the closet door and opened it. Inside of it she found a blue denim button-down shirt and donned it. How was she going to get home? She opened the bedroom door and rushed down the stairs.

She located Lev outside, in the backyard, sitting at a table beside the pool. He was lounging in a chair. She saw someone else sitting with him and shortly after realized it was Inigo. She didn't know how this would go. She didn't know what it was about the two of them, but she always seemed to get mousy when she was around them both. They were so sexy and intimidating. The fact they were extremely wealthy and powerful didn't help either.

Coral wanted to tuck tail and run back into the house as quickly as she could. She looked like she had been working the late shift at a strip joint. She caught her reflection in the window pane of the french doors that led to the patio when she had first came out to find Lev. The only thing stopping her was the knowledge of her knowing if she turned around and went back inside of the house both men would probably think she was scared, or being difficult. She didn't want them to have that impression of her, so she walked forward with as much confidence as one could muster when they were wearing a man's denim shirt, white thigh high stockings, and very high heels. She noticed Inigo turned around in the chair to look her, and his gaze didn't seem to move from her eyes.She was surprised and thankful for that. She prayed she wouldn't trip and thanked her lucky stars when she reached them without incident. Both men stood up. Lev planted a chaste kiss on her lips. She turned to Inigo. He kissed her on both of her cheeks.

"Please, Coral join us. We are having breakfast," Lev offered as he motioned to the table that was laden with breakfast dishes.

Inigo pulled out a chair for her, and she sat down in it as he pushed it towards the table for her. She watched as Lev fixed her a plate, piled with bacon, eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns.

"Thank you," she simply said and began eating. The food was delicious.

"How was your night?" Inigo asked.

She almost choked on her eggs when he did. She coughed. Lev appeared to find it amusing and slid a glass of orange juice in her direction. She took a sip of it, still unsure as to how she was supposed to answer Inigo's question.

"He's just teasing you." Lev furnished with a devilish grin, and Coral was once more able to breath and relax.

She looked at Inigo and noticed he had a playful smile on his lips. She smiled back.

"How did you sleep?" Lev asked.

"I slept well," She supplied. She had slept like the dead she added silently.

"Inigo and I are hosting a private dinner party tonight. We would be delighted if you would accompany us."

"Both of you?" She was surprised.

They both nodded their dark heads, and she found herself wondering how that would work, instead of asking them she just replied "I would be delighted..."

#  II

Once again Coral and Inigo sat in the back of the Cadillac SUV. She was reminded of yesterday when he had kissed her senseless before they had gone to lunch. The quiet was deafening, and Coral didn't know why they felt so awkward around one another. She felt her cell phone vibrating inside of her clutch. She opened it and found she had missed thirteen calls from a private number. She scanned her call log and noticed she had also missed a call from her secretary.

"Everything alright?" Inigo asked, and the sound of his deep voice made her jump.

"Yes, I was just checking my missed calls."

"The driver that escorted you to Lev's last night informed me that you had a rather unpleasant phone conversation on the way there."

Coral was shocked, she didn't know whether to hit him or hear him out. Instead of doing those things she she felt her defenses coming up as she asked "What did you just say?"

"I said the driver-," she interrupted him

"Why did he tell you that?"

She already knew the answer to the question. She wanted to see how honest he would be with her.

"He was only reporting back to me. It's his job to look out for you. I asked him questions about you. He had no choice but to answer." He must have seen the expression on her face turn from flirty to apprehensive. "Coral, I apologize. I shouldn't have done that. It was violation of your privacy. It will never happen again."

She looked out the window. She Shouldn't be upset with him for keeping a close eye on her. She was in an agreement with him and his business partner. They had a right to know if she was or wasn't upholding her end of the bargain. She knew all of that, but somehow it still hurt. He kept talking, taking her silence as a sign of offense to his admission.

"I have to learn how to establish boundaries. I really am sorry. I only wanted-"

"It was Dean." She said, cutting him off mid-sentence.

"What?" He sounded surprised she had told him.

"It was my Ex." She repeated.

"I thought you said you hadn't heard from him since..."

"Yes. He called me last night while I was on the way to Lev's. I wasn't going to answer it, but I needed to know why he did it."

She felt her chest getting tight and her eyes misting over.

"Did you get your answer?" He asked her as he placed a comforting hand over hers.

"No, he called me a sinking ship and tried to rationalize him leaving me. I didn't feel like hearing any more, so I hung up."

"Good for you." He felt proud of her and her new found confidence towards her ex.

"What ?" She was shocked by his reaction.

"I said good for you.You don't and didn't need him. This man left you, and then calls you and tells you that you were the problem. A man like that is not a man at all. He is a fool. He was a fool to leave you, and he is a fool to think a beautiful woman like you would do badly without him."

She smiled at the conviction in his voice as he spoke those kind words about her. It was as if he saw something inside her she had always hoped someone would recognize. She wiped her tears away. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. She scooted over to him and they sat close together. His right arm was around her shoulder. She inhaled his scent and closed her eyes. Inigo was strong, kind, and he always seemed to make her fears and anxiety go away. She loved that trait about him. He kissed the top of her head, and they rode in a comfortable silence.

Several minutes later they were at her apartment. She had picked a moderately priced one bedroom apartment in a gated community.She unlocked her door, and once inside she took off her coat. Inigo's gaze immediately went to the deep v of caramel skin that showed in the shirt she was wearing and further still to her slender legs in the white stockings and stiletto shoes, which she was taking off, and then back up again.

"I'm in need of a shower. Would you like me to make you some coffee?" She asked.

She hoped he would say 'no'. She felt sticky and sweaty and wanted to wash the remnants of last nights escapade off of her.

As if he could read her mind he shook his head 'no'. She went upstairs, turned the shower on, and got inside, leaving the shirt and hose on the floor in the middle of her bedroom. The warm water from the shower seemed to wash away the shame she felt bubbling up inside of her. She had made so much more than love with Lev all night last night, in positions she had never thought imaginable, and now she was at her home with Inigo. It seemed so wrong when she thought about it, and when she wasn't thinking about it all she wanted was the pleasure and company both men offered her. She was sworn to secrecy and couldn't break the contract without having to pay back all of the money they had already given her. She wasn't ready for this she heard a small voice in her mind tell her or was she? Her conflicting emotions were constantly at war. She hoped it was just jitters. As soon as she focused on one man it seemed it was time to focus on the other, making both men even more elusive, yet irresistible at the same time. Was this so bad ? She thought as she lathered the Apple Blossom fragrance soap on her breasts and abdomen. She heard her bathroom door open. It was him.

He pushed back the shower curtain to show his tanned,chiseled, hard, naked body and stepped inside the shower with her. She turned to face him. He immediately scooped her up into his muscular arms. She was taken aback at how perfectly sculpted his body was. His body was well defined and bulging in all of the right places. He was a perfect male specimen. She smiled, recalling the first time she had seen his big cock. He kissed her lips and she forgot all about Lev. Inigo invaded her senses completely. She could only think about him. Kissing him. Touching him. Him touching her. She wrapped her arms around him and deepened the kiss. His hands roamed over her soft shoulders further down to her small waist and further still to her luscious hips. He picked her up and she wrapped her arms and legs around his neck. He made her feel as if she weighed nothing at all. He pressed her back up against the black tile wall and in one swift movement he entered her. She let out a cry of pleasure-pain. She was sore from last night and he was also well endowed. She didn't care. She wanted him and so she bucked against him. He moaned in response and she did the motion harder. He grabbed her by her waist and bounced her up and down on his engorged cock. Coral felt as if her spirit had left her body and entered into a pleasure filled dimension. She felt her sugar walls clenching around him as she orgasmed like never before.

"I don't care who you are with. When you are with me, you are mine. You will never forget me."

He was doing wonderful things to her body. She nodded in agreement to the words he had just uttered. They sank in her mind, adding more pleasure. She wanted him to keep going, and he did. He kept her pushed up against the shower tile wall, slowly stroking the primal fire inside of her. She thought she would go mad from the wonderful sensations he was making her body feel. She held onto him, moaning and whimpering, not giving a damn that her hair had gotten wet. He kissed her and gently slid his tongue inside of her mouth. She didn't want this to end, and neither did Inigo. She squeezed her nipple, and it heightened her pleasure. She moaned in his mouth. He squeezed her buttocks as he steadily pumped his rod inside her juicy wet cunt.

She was so wet for him, and willing. Inigo had come up here to just help her wash but when he saw her naked in the shower, looking so damn delectable, he just couldn't help himself. He wanted to make sure she understood who he was to her, and by the way her eyes kept rolling back in her head as he gave her precise long strokes, he knew she was coming to some sort of understanding about him. He wanted to bury his cock inside of her and explode, but he wasn't sure if she was on birth control. He wanted her to enjoy it as much as he was. He felt himself losing control. He thrust harder and felt her tighten and convulse around his cock once more, and it made him lose his last bit of control. He pulled out of her and watched as she squatted down just in time to catch his love juice in her mouth. She swallowed the mixture of sticky juices and water happily. She got up from her kneeling position, letting the shower water hit her in her face.

They washed one another in silence. Coral didn't know if she wanted to acknowledge fully the passion she was feeling with both men. She knew she had to keep her distance with both of them. It all seemed unfair, but this was what she had signed up for. She was only an 'employee', but it didn't feel that way to her. Each man treated her like she was the only woman in their life so far. It was confusing. Maybe she was overthinking it. Maybe she just needed to go with the flow. After all, it had landed her in a wonderful financial position. She could honestly say she felt desired by both men, and that was all she had really wanted, was to feel desired.

Inigo dried both of them off in the middle of Coral's room. She was smiling at him while he gently rubbed the terry cloth on her soft skin.

"Tonight, don't be nervous," she looked down at him. He was drying off her legs. "Tonight is just an informal meeting of sorts with some potential American investors. I don't want you to feel intimidated by anyone."

She nodded her head, but deep down she was already feeling the trepidation inside. She always felt like she wasn't good enough. She was feeling it now.

She watched him come back up, and he placed his hand under her chin before speaking to her.

"I mean it."

"That's easier said than done," she said, barely above a whisper.

He was drying himself off now. She couldn't help but stare at his perfectly toned, tanned body.

"Why do you say that?"

"I always feel like that when I'm around people with more business savvy or life experience than me."

"Don't do it in front of me ever again. Understand?" He was staring her in the eyes with that hard gaze that seemed to make her lose track of her thoughts. She nodded. "Be confident. We didn't hire you just for this. We hired you because you know what you are doing.The investors will soon need assistance in finding more properties to acquire. Our goal is to have them utilize you. "

She felt silly hearing him talk about her that way. She nodded once more. He planted a kiss on her lips and quickly got dressed. She put Lev's shirt back on.

"I have to go. I have things I need to get done before the party tonight. The limo will be here at nine to pick you up".

"I will be ready. Thank you," she said.

She didn't know if she was thanking him for instilling more confidence in her for when she had to meet these prospective business investors, or for taking her home and not making her feel like a trollop. Either way, she was grateful to Inigo, she thought as he placed one last kiss on her forehead and left her alone in her apartment.

She walked out into the living room and sat on the only piece of furniture she had in the all white area. Tonight would be one of the hardest things she had ever done. She hoped no one would guess or worse make her feel less than because of her strange relationship with Lev and Inigo. Her mind was becoming bogged with the many scenarios that could play out at the dinner party, and all of them ended with her in tears. She knew she was being dramatic and her overactive imagination was going to get the best of her if she didn't get a hold of herself. The only way she was going to ever know how people reacted to her in that social situation was for her to attend the function. She leaned back on the sofa and prayed for the strength to at least act the part of the confident, sexy, company real estate consultant that both men thought she was...

#  III

Coral arrived back at Lev's estate at nine-thirty. She noticed other limousines lined up neatly in the circular drive. She had counted twelve. Quite a private dinner party, she thought and the nerves she had tried to settle with three shots of tequila earlier seemed to nag at her once more.

"Are we late?" She asked the driver.

"No, ma'am," he said politely and stopped the car in front of the main entrance that lead to the front doors of the house.

The driver got out and opened the car door for her. She got out of the limousine. She hoped she looked the part, whatever that was to be. Tonight, she donned a maroon, couture, sweetheart gown, with matching patent leather heels. Her gold necklace and diamond stud earrings winked and sparkled under the lights as she was guided into the massive home by a butler she had never seen before. She was pleasantly surprised to see that Lev had the furniture removed from the first two rooms and converted it into a grand ballroom. She was in awe at the beautiful French art displays and fountains he had strategically placed in the foyer and on the various patios and verandas of the home.

She walked around noticing people sitting and talking amongst themselves. She nodded at a few people who acknowledged her, but she was taking in the delicious eye candy Lev had created in this home. She smiled as the waiter came up to her and offered her a flute of champagne. She happily took it and drank a big swallow from the flute. It was cold and refreshing.

She walked on past the hallway as well as the patio. She was passing the billiard room and spotted Inigo inside. She paused at the door and watched him. He seemed like a completely different man to her. He was laughing and joking with the guys as he kept knocking his billiard balls into the corners with a certain finesse that let you know he was a pro at the game. She smiled as she watched each man in the room dig into their pockets and hand him money. He was a wearing a cocky,confident grin on his face and she felt herself smiling at him. She didn't know if she wanted to make her presence known. He seemed like he was having such a fun time. She seemed to make him all surly-serious, and that wasn't her intention. She stood there for a few seconds more debating on what to do when she turned around and was face to face with Lev. She smiled, and he did as well.

"You look Tres belle in that outfit."

He seemed to be taken aback by her appearance, and that made her blush.

"Merci," she said smiling up at him.

"Oh look at you speaking French to me." He leaned forward. Their foreheads were almost touching, "I will teach you words of passion in my native tongue, and you can say them back to me while I give you all my passion."

Coral swallowed hard and instinctively looked around.

"So shy," he whispered in her ear. "Come, let me introduce you to our guests. Leave my partner to his fun, for now."

Coral turned around and looked once more at Inigo, who was leaning against a bar stool holding a pool cue in one hand and a beer bottle in the other. He was looking dangerously sexy in his coal black vest and dress pants, with a dark blue shirt. The sleeves rolled up to his elbows. She turned to Lev and they walked away.

Lev did as he had promised. She was introduced to everyone at the party, and they all turned out to be nice, normal people, for the most part. She felt silly for how she had panicked earlier that day. She was having a wonderful time, and Lev was one of the most gracious hosts she had ever had the pleasure to watch in action. He had a special way with people, and she now knew why he was the face of their marketing company. He was enthralled in explaining a piece of art from the French Renaissance period to some investors, so she decided to have a seat by the pool. She sipped her champagne, watching Lev from afar and she smiled.

This was one of the best parties she had ever attended, and she felt like she was a part of something innovative and wonderful. Both men seemed like perfect guys, yet they shared her in their beds. She didn't understand why. She wanted them both, but still that question seemed to come up in her mind when she least expected it. She knew any other female in this position would just smile at their good fortune and take full advantage of the situation, but Coral knew she wasn't like most girls. She was was about to stand up when she felt strong arms assisting her. She looked up to see that it was Inigo.

"Hi." The alcohol had gone to her head. This was her fourth drink for the night.

"Hi." he said back, looking at her intently. "Having fun?"

"Yes, I am." She smiled at him.

"I can see. I love this dress on you," he said as she felt his eyes undressing her. She felt naked.

"Thank you," she said as she followed him through the crowd.

Everyone had seemed to find their way out onto the spacious, beautifully decorated backyard. She found herself pasting a smile on her face as other couples looked on at her and Inigo. She had to admit they made a cute couple. He was tall and every bit as masculine as a Scottish warlord, whereas she was curvy and soft, like a Nubian Queen. Their opposites attracted them even more as their passion for one another simmered. She felt him take hold of her hand as he nodded at the various gentleman. They went through the house and up the servants stairs. It was dark, and she was breathing heavy. What were they doing? And where exactly was he taking her? She was still holding on to her glass of champagne as they climbed the staircase. She couldn't believe she hadn't tripped over her dress. He opened the door, and they were on the third floor of the mansion. She noticed Lev had it completely refurbished it. It looked beautiful.

She stood in the entranceway with Inigo. Lev was waiting for them a few feet away. She smiled and wondered when he had left. They walked towards him. Once they reached him he lead them into a room. It was filled with furs and pillows. There were so many different fur pelts and pillows made of different animal fur. The bed was circular and had cream satin sheets on it. Lev was behind her and stood close to her. She could feel him behind her. Inigo stood mere inches away from in front of her. She was wet with anticipation. She couldn't wait for these men to fuck her until she could no longer take it. The fact that these two couldn't wait until after the party flattered her. It spoke volumes about their animal attraction that couldn't be denied. They wanted her just as much as she wanted them. She could try to deny it, try to hide the fact that she enjoyed feeling two sets of hands and mouths all over her soft skin. She could pretend, but in the end she would be the one losing out on all the things life had to offer her, if only she could be honest about it and surrender.

She leaned forward and kissed Inigo. She felt Lev locate the zipper on the side of her dress. She was still kissing Inigo when She felt her strapless dress tugged gently off of her body. She felt herself growing wetter at the thought of being with both of them at the same time. She broke the kiss with Inigo and stepped out of the dress. Both men gasped in surprise to find Coral wearing no undergarments. She was completely naked, only wearing her necklace, earrings, and a ruby bracelet. She looked like an Egyptian goddess. Lev immediately squeezed her buttocks and nipped at her neck and ears as Inigo wrecked havoc on her sensitive nipples. She could feel herself growing wetter and wetter with each ministration, and when Inigo put his fingers on her clit, she thought she would melt right then and there. She moaned out and held on to his shoulders while her head rolled back and landed securely on Lev's. Her legs shook with an intensity, and she knew if he kept this up with his wonderful fingering of her cunt she would orgasm. Lev turned her head toward him and inserted his tongue into her mouth. She moaned more and then she felt Inigo's mouth on her heat. She flinched at the feel and then the velvet slickness of his tongue made her body give in. It felt so good and her legs relaxed and convulsed all at once as he feasted on her. Lev massaged her breasts as he kissed her, and she felt drunk with desire and power. She felt herself orgasming and just as she was about to Inigo pulled away. She frowned.

She didn't know how they got onto the bed, but there they were. She was naked, and they still had their clothes on. Each man was rubbing and caressing her as they took off their expensive suits. She kissed one then the other. She put her hand on Lev's growing erection and began stroking it with her hands. He wasn't expecting it and his emotions were all over his face. She stroked his rod like she had done it many times and loved how Lev's face changed with each one she gave. He moaned, and she continued. She felt a hand in between her legs and knew it was Inigo. She opened wider so he would have better access to her hungry mound as she continued stroking Lev's cock while Inigo started fingering her. It was unreal to her, but it felt so good. No judgment, just the unadulterated passion for two men who felt the same way about her. She got in between Lev's legs and kissed the tip of his penis. He smiled at her.

"Don't be a tease, baby. Let me feel that mouth," he groaned, as if it was the hardest thing in the world to say.

She obliged him and put his cock in the back of her throat. He moaned the further his shaft went. She slurped on it, bobbing up and down and she heard his moan increase in volume. He grabbed her neck, and she knew he was enjoying it. He yanked her hair and held it in his fist as she stared him in the eyes as her wet mouth went up and down on his hard cock. He moaned.

"You little bitch." He moaned to her and grabbed both sides of her head and began pumping in her mouth faster.

She loved how that curse word sounded coming out of his mouth. She took deep breaths through her nose so she wouldn't gag. She whimpered as she kept up with his rigorous rhythm. She felt Inigo behind her and then felt his hands on her hips. She pushed her ass out so he could mount her. She was so ready to feel him inside of her. She was once again rewarded by his massive rod. She moaned and almost choked on Lev's cock. Inigo was pounding her in the front, and Lev was pounding her throat. She loved it. Her senses were alive and attuned with her pleasure.She felt her body convulsing and her walls shaking around Inigo's cock.

"There it is," she heard him say.

He was still pumping inside of her, and she loved every minute of it. She held on to Lev's hips as Inigo held on to hers. It was a chain of pleasure, and they never had to stop if they didn't want it to. Lev Broke the chain first by crying out loudly and spilling his seed inside of her mouth. She was getting used to the sweet sticky taste of him. She swallowed. Inigo turned her around and picked her up impaling her once more on his large shaft. It felt amazing to her. She felt herself gushing on him and she moved her hips up and down as he helped her. He moaned uncontrollably as well, and she kissed him deeply. He kissed her back with the same intensity and pounded her harder. She let out a guttural moan and orgasmed with Inigo, who came inside of her. That was so passionate was her first coherent thought after. He held her in his arms until he caught his breath. Then he let her down and began dressing. She turned around, and Lev had her dress. He held it up to her, and she put it back on. She hoped her makeup looked fine. She couldn't believe what they had just done at the dinner party. She walked in front of them down the servants staircase and felt like for once in her life things were looking up...

#  Part IV: Revolving Debt

#

#  I

The rest of that night at the dinner party was a success for Coral, and so were the days that followed. She had acquired three more properties. One for her two employers, and the other two were for local patrons who were upgrading their homes to accommodate their growing families.

It was almost closing time, six o'clock. She was sitting at her desk listening to her receptionist drone on about local properties that were up for grabs. Her mind kept drifting back to two men, Inigo, and Lev. She was finding her groove with both of them and her anxiety about the arrangement had gone down considerably, but she still was apprehensive about their motives. Her days were usually filled with her work. Inigo always made a point to whisk her away to lunch or to his penthouse suite for a full body massage. Afterwards he would make love to her for an hour or three, and then there were the nights. Her nights were filled with romantic surprises by Lev. Naked picnics and skinny dipping with him were becoming a favorite. She smiled and wondered how she was getting anything accomplished working for them.

"What are you smiling about Ms.Coral?" Valerie, her receptionist, asked playfully, breaking coral from her slight daydream and pulling her back to the conversation at hand.

"Nothing." She lied easily and began writing down dates on her large desk calendar. She watched Valerie packing up her items and straightening her desk.

"Thank you again for staying late Valerie. You have been a real lifesaver," she confessed as Valerie got up from her chair and put her large, bright pink tote over her shoulder.

"No problem Ms.Coral. I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity to let me run your office while you're...uh ...out assessing properties."

Coral knew then that Valerie knew she was having an affair with both her employers, and she felt her mouth go dry. Valerie looked at her awkwardly. Coral played it off as if she didn't see the slight shift in the girl's body language.

"I thought if you were interested, I could pay for you to get your real estate license and you can sell houses for me."

She watched her receptionist's face go from a slight pout to a huge grin in a flash. She dropped her tote and jumped up and down in place.

"Oh my gosh! You mean, like be partners? Ms. Coral thank you, thank you!"

Her eyes were welling up with tears as she smiled wildly. Coral felt her receptionists feelings of joy overflowing on to her, and she was smiling brightly with her. She stood up from her desk, walked over and hugged Valerie. She enjoyed having her work for her, and she wanted to pass on the same financial opportunity she felt the two men in her life had given to her, which was simply a chance. Something so small, yet so important.

"Let me go out with you. I'll grab my stuff," Coral said, reaching for her designer purse and black blazer. She opened her purse, retrieved her keys, and the two women walked out of the office together into the night.

Coral said one more goodbye to Valerie and watched as she got into her compact car, waved once more to Coral, and drove away. Coral turned to walk to her car and gave out a scream. She hadn't seen the figure standing behind her.

"I didn't mean to scare you," said the voice.

It was Dean. He stepped into the light and Coral could see him. He looked different tonight. He wore a dark-colored jacket. Coral couldn't tell if it was black or navy blue. A faded baseball cap covered his head, and his eyes shifted from left to right. Dean made Coral feel uneasy, and she unconsciously took a step back.

"Dean ? What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to talk."

"Talk ? About ?"

"You know what about Coral," he looked exasperated with her short tone and quick fire questions, "Look, can we go somewhere and talk?"

Coral felt that familiar knot of tension slowly growing tighter in her gut. She didn't want to talk to him. She didn't want to rehash the mess of a relationship they had once shared. She was happy with her life now. With the help of Inigo she had moved on. She was also enjoying her financial independence as well as her career very much. In a way she owed Dean a huge 'thank you' for leaving her the way he had, but she was still too pissed off at him to ever admit that aloud.

"Dean, I don't have time for this. I have somewhere I have to be." She lied coolly.

"Tell them to wait," he said.

"Dean I just...I can't," she sighed as she held onto her purse a little tighter than normal. She wanted this conversation to be over and done with, and she wanted to be in her car driving to Lev's place, so his touch could drown this entire encounter , and the resentment she felt for her ex out.

Dean picked up her hand. His felt clammy to her.

"Coral, please."

His eyes were pleading with hers, and she found herself once more giving in.

"Alright." She conceded.

She saw the triumphant look return to her ex-boyfriend's face, and a little nagging feeling tugged at the knot in her stomach.

"Great ! I know this great diner just a few blocks away-"

"Dean I told you. I can't do that. I can give you fifteen minutes right here and now. I have already locked up the office. We can talk in my car."

She watched his eyes change from happy to something she didn't recognize. She didn't care. She just wanted him gone and out of her life for good, and if that meant sitting in her car bringing up old uncomfortable things then she could do that..

"O.k.," he conceded. They walked out her car together.

Coral was about to get into the driver's seat when Dean said, "Is it alright if we sit in the backseat?"

Coral didn't find anything strange with his request, so she opened the passenger door behind the driver's seat and got into the car at the same time he did.

They sat in an uncomfortable silence. Coral supposed she wasn't making it any better. She refused to smile, and she kept glancing at her cell phone clock. Dean cleared his throat and began speaking.

"I'm sorry."

"For ?" She wasn't going to let him get off that easy. She wanted to hear him say it.

"For not being who I said I was," he supplied. "I was an asshole, and I need you back."

Coral was surprised at his confession. After their last conversation over the phone she had expected some of the same rhetoric.She could see he was using a different approach. She just watched as he tried to pull out all the 'the sad boyfriend' stops. His tone was soft. His gaze was to the ground, signifying a sign of ashamed, all the while trying to keep it sexy. She wasn't impressed or amused. He needed to remain out of her life for good.

"Dean, I can't listen to this."

"It's the truth."

"I don't need this right now. Your fifteen minutes is up."

She was about to put her hand on the door handle when Dean grabbed her right arm and pulled her close to him. She felt a jolt of pain shoot up her arm and up to her shoulder at the movement. His grip was tight. She tried to wrench her arm free only to feel his grip tighten around her tender flesh.

"You are rude! I wasn't finished talking to you!" He exclaimed.

"I'm sorry," she heard herself saying, even though she wasn't the least bit sorry.

She was close to tears. How had things escalated so quickly?

"Shut up!" He shouted, "Such a rude girl. Speaking when another person is speaking!"

Coral decided to play along. She had to get out of the car. She had never seen Dean this hostile or aggressive with her or anyone. He was so angry, and he seemed like a completely different person.

"Now, as I was saying. I need you back. You can come back willingly, or I can force you."

He smashed his mouth down on hers, and Coral felt herself gagging. She smelled the liquor, then tasted the sour drink on his tongue as he shoved it further in her mouth. She tried to move away from him in the small, cramped space, but he had an iron-clad grip on her arms. He started pushing her down into the seat. She was terrified. She was trying not to slide down, but his body weight was making it increasingly hard for her. She felt his free hand groping wildly, blindly. Her heels were slipping off of her feet. She closed her eyes tighter.

"Kiss me back," he demanded.

She didn't want to kiss him and she prayed for help and her car door opened suddenly. Dean was yanked off of her and thrown across the parking lot.

She quickly sat up and opened the car door she had been leaning against and exited the vehicle. She slammed the door shut and slid down on the side of her car. She slowly crawled to look at the scenario unfolding in the poorly lit, deserted parking lot. It was Inigo. She could see his features from the street light that illuminated the lot. She watched as he yanked Dean up by his collar and punched him hard in his stomach. She flinched at the bone jarring sounds his fists made as they connected to Dean's various body parts she watched him hit. He punched him one more time and walked away. Dean's motionless body just layed there.

Inigo was assisting her up from off the asphalt. She wondered how he had moved so fast, and where he had come from. She hadn't been expecting to see him.

"How ?" was all she could get out.

He put his finger to her lips silencing her, then lifted her in his arms and carried her to her own automobile. He gently placed her in the passenger side of her car. He got in the driver's seat and found her keys on the floor in back. He started the car and Dean was a shrinking image in their rearview mirrors. No one spoke. She watched him quietly and thanked her lucky stars that he had come when he had. She was so confused and hurt by her ex-boyfriend and his unpredictable actions. It seemed like he was turning out to be more than just a bad ex. He was becoming dangerous. If Inigo hadn't came she would probably be raped, or worse. She didn't want to think about it anymore. She leaned her head back and felt hot tears spill out. She didn't bother wiping them. She just kept staring out into the dark blurred landscape as he drove. His hand was on top of hers. Somehow that gesture calmed her mind and eased her nerves. She noticed they drove past her neighborhood.

"Where are we..."

"My place. Yours isn't safe any longer."

"He wouldn't..."

She stopped talking mid-sentence. She could no longer speak about what her ex-boyfriend was or wasn't capable of doing. Him just attacking her taught her that.

"You're right," she agreed.

They reached their destination fifteen minutes later and walked inside Inigo's newly acquired home.

Coral didn't recall acquiring this home for him. She didn't recall this property ever being listed. It was very masculine and sleek. It somehow reminded her of him. Inigo was carrying her purse, and she looked down and noticed she was barefoot. Her feet were scraped and bleeding. She couldn't believe that Inigo had saved her. She was grateful, but she wondered where he had come from. She decided to get the answer.

"How did you get there...to me in time ?"

"I was walking. I had dinner at that restaurant you had told me about. I stumbled up on your office. I noticed your car was here and heard your screams. Are you alright ?"

He tried to hold her, but she evaded his advances.

"I'm fine," she lied.

"No, you're not," he said, watching her stand in the middle of his living room. She was lying. He could see the tension in her body language .

She stood there squeezing her arms.

"No, I'm not," she admitted, "That son of a bitch !" A tear slid down her cheek.

She felt Inigo's strong arms around her, and she felt safe. She turned around and faced him. He put her hand inside of his. She saw his bloody knuckles. Her eyes widened, and she quickly pulled her hands out of his.

"That looks painful," she winced as she held up his knuckles in the dim light.

She could see they were swollen and scratched. Still holding his hands up they walked over to the island in the middle of the kitchen and used it's sink. She looked for the knob, but didn't see one. Inigo put his hand in and the water automatically came on. She gently rubbed the blood off of his knuckles. As she did she saw that the blood wasn't his. That fact shook her up and the flashes of him punching Dean repeatedly came to mind. She grabbed the clean dish rag that was behind them on the countertop. She dried his hand. She noticed his knuckles were just red and swollen.

"I will put ice on it for you," she said and searched the drawers in search of another dish towel.

"No, you will not. My hand is fine." He stretched and wiggled his fingers to show her they weren't broken. "Please, sit down."

She did as he requested and stopped rummaging through his Ultra sleek kitchen drawers She sat down opposite him.

She felt bad about Inigo's hand, but she didn't feel bad about him hurting Dean. She knew it was more than his hand. It was the fact that he had blindly risked his life for her. She was still having conflicting emotions about him and the entire situation she was in. She was grateful, but she couldn't help but feel indebted to Inigo in a totally different way. She knew now she couldn't ever get out of this deal the three of them had made. He could use this as ammunition if he so desired and she would have to concede. It just seemed like her luck was too good to be true. Either way she was forever grateful. She needed space to wrap her mind around the events that just took place. There wasn't any and she would have to deal with this right now and pray that Inigo wasn't that type of person to use this against her.

"You're worried about me? We should be getting you cleaned up. You look like you need a hot bath."

Coral felt her body cry out in agreement to Inigo's words.

"I will draw you a bath, but before I do that I will get you a nice stiff drink. You need it."

"Oui," Coral said smiling sadly.

Inigo fixed her a large glass of sherry. She had never had it before, but enjoyed the sweet fruity aroma and taste. She had drunk half the glass and was feeling very warm and the events that happened mere hours ago seemed far away from her mind. She decided to go in search of Inigo. She went up the chrome and glass staircase. She reached the landing, heard water running. She walked down the hallway to the second door which was open and saw Inigo, kneeling, pouring bubbles in one of the nicest bathtubs coral had laid eyes on. She felt like she was in a 'better homes & garden magazine', so luxurious was Inigo's bathroom.

She must have looked awestruck about it because then Inigo asked with that sexy smile he produced so often only for her, "Do you like it ?"

"I think it's wonderful. Where did you get this home, Inigo ?"

"I designed it."

"You designed this?" she said as she did a circle.

"Oui. I designed it and hired contractors to build it for me."

"When?" she asked curiously. She was fascinated by this man. He seemed so strong and quiet. His business reflected something altogether different.

"When Lev purchased his," he supplied.

"That's a great turnaround time."

"Enough about my house. Are you going to undress and get in the tub?"

Coral smiled, and then took another sip of her wine. Inigo took the glass from her hand and downed the remaining contents in one gulp.

"Heeeey! That was my drink."

"It's my wine." He smirked.

She thought he looked sexy. She quieted down. Coral wasn't drunk, but she wasn't sober. Coral looked at the man standing before her. Inigo looked rugged and handsome. She noticed he had traded his trousers for faded worn jeans. He still wore his shirt. It was unbuttoned. She could see flashes of his tan skin when he leaned over to turn the water off. He stood in front of her.

"Bath time."

He unbuttoned her white silk blouse. It wasn't white anymore it was dingy from her recent ordeal. She knew if she was sober she probably would be mad. The sherry seemed to take the edge off, and she couldn't help but smile as she watched Inigo unbuttoning her top. He slid the fabric off of her and started lifting and surveying her arms. She was about to protest when he spoke.

"I'm checking for bruises," He said as if it were his job.

Coral wanted to melt. His protective nature touched her somehow and also made him all the more attractive to her.

"I'm alright, I think. Just a little shook up. I just wasn't expecting this."

She took her hair out of it's bun. Inigo was unzipping her black pencil skirt. He used his soft, gentle hands to slide it off of her firm, sexy waist and past her round thighs. Her skin felt so soft to him. She watched Inigo's reaction as he kept peeling off the layers of her clothes. She stood there in front of him with her sheer, black underwear. She looked beautiful to him. He finished the task of undressing her by removing her earrings and necklace. He planted a kiss on her cheeks and exited the bathroom. Coral stood there naked and even more confused than she had when she first saw him tonight...

#  II

Coral awoke once more in Inigo's arms. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

"What happened?" she asked. Her voice sounded foreign even to her.

"You fell asleep in the tub."

She tried to look at him, but he pushed her head back down. She waited until he walked into the last room down the hallway and deposited her on the bed. She pulled back the soft comforter and laid on the baby-soft pillows. Inigo's bed was like laying on air she thought. She watched as Inigo turned to walk away.

"No, don't leave me alone. Please," she quietly pleaded.

He turned around and walked over to the bed.

"I will stay then."

He took off his shirt, and suddenly Coral no longer felt tired. She couldn't help having a physical reaction to Inigo and his perfectly sculpted body. Memories of him devouring her at the party came to mind, and she knew she wouldn't be satisfied until he had made love to her tonight.

She watched him get into bed and get under the covers. He pulled her close. She loved the way his body warmth seemed to go to the core of her, heating her from the inside out.

"I don't want to go to sleep just yet. I am sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Your tub is lovely, and I must have drank a little too much."

"Stop apologizing, you didn't drown. I just thought maybe you would be more comfortable sleeping in my bed."

"I don't know really."

"About?"

"About sleeping in your bed. I mean, this is the first time I have been to your house, and we never meet at night. I'm usually with Lev. Oh my gosh! Lev ! I have to call him."

She was about to get out of the bed. Inigo gently pushed her back down.

"Coral, it's fine. Everything is fine. I called him when you were taking a bath."

"You did?" she didn't know whether to feel relieved or weirded out, but either way she was still grateful. "Thank you."

"No need to. Now, relax. Rest."

"I can't now. I'm all worked up again. My mind keeps flashing to my ex-boyfriend trying to get me to..."

"Then think about me and you." She looked up at him. He had that sexy twinkle in his eyes. "Think about the time you and I made love in the shower. How I made you come all over my cock and how you drove me wild with your mouth and sweet tongue."

Coral once again felt her body respond to the words Inigo spoke. She crossed her legs and rubbed a foot up and down his bare legs.

"Yes, that is a very naughty thought. I think of that often." She admitted shyly.

She needed him. She needed him to make her forget about tonight and about how insignificant and vulnerable she felt. She reached up and touched his face. Without a word he ravished her just as she had wished. It was a perfect ending to one hell of a night...

#  Part V-Consent Decree

#

#  I

Coral was more than overjoyed about getting out of Inigo's home and away from his overprotective watch for a few hours. It had been a week since the incident had occurred and as much as she had appreciated him, being in such close quarters unexpectedly was taking its toll on her. It had been a full seven days and there had been no sign of Dean. In just a few short hours she would be socializing with someone other than him and her Administrative Assistant, Valerie. Tonight she was going to dinner with her high school crush, Paul Stoll. She hadn't heard from him since they had graduated from high school, six years ago. They had spoke briefly over the phone earlier that day. He had informed her of his need to get rid of some newly acquired real estate he had just inherited through the death of his grandmother. It seemed harmless and the thought of seeing Paul again appealed greatly to her because secretly she had wanted him to notice how much she had grown and blossomed into a beautiful, successful woman since the last time they had seen each other years ago.

She recalled how it had been in high school. Paul had always appealed to all the girls in school, from the teachers to the computer nerd groupies. They all would smile and sigh when he showed them the slightest attention. He had had his pick of any girl in their school and he had choose Carman Davis, head Cheerleader and Prom Queen. Now here they were five years later.

She was at the top of her career game. Opportunities such as these didn't come too often so she saw it as a sign to get out of the house and meet with Paul. She had been feeling stir crazy since the incident with Dean had went down. Inigo had become over protective. She was now conducting the majority of her business from his home with a personal police officer outside watching his home. She knew he was only trying to help, but it only seemed to make her smothered. She just wanted to forget about what almost happened to her. She wanted to forget about Dean and move on and act as if it had never happened. She didn't like recalling her ex in such a wild manic state, or the horrible things he'd made her endure. She also didn't like to recall Inigo like that. The anger she saw in him was chilling. It was as if he had turned into someone else. Someone cold-blooded. She knew he had done it to defend her, but the anger he had displayed had scared her. She needed a breather, even if it was only for one night. So Coral confirmed they would meet at an upscale restaurant called Snowfall at six o'clock, and six o'clock had never come so fast as it had that day. She felt herself getting apprehensive about going out with Paul. She quickly rationalized her risque behavior and reassured herself. It isn't a date, she chided to herself. Lev is away on business, overseas somewhere, and Inigo was busy with an important meeting with some potential business investors. What would it hurt?

She assessed herself in the wall to wall mirror in front of her. The skin tight white pencil skirt and sheer pink blouse she wore looked wonderful on her. She hoped the deep plunging neckline and the white lace, strapless bra that shone through, didn't cause too much of a distraction for him. She also didn't want to seem too business. She grabbed her clutch and left Inigo's feeling giddy...

#  II

Paul ended up being even more handsome and charming than Coral had remembered.

"Thank you for accepting my dinner invitation." He said as he smiled. Showing her his perfectly straight white teeth. He still looked perfect to her.

"Well, thank you for inviting me. It's been awhile since I've been out." She admitted, hoping the blush she felt on the inside wouldn't bleed through to the outside. His handsome chiseled features were hard to ignore.

She smiled at him. He smiled back.

"You're more than welcome. Really? Has it?" He asked.

"Yes. Really." She took a sip of her wine. "Is that so hard to believe?" She asked.

She watched his eyes rest on her face then slowly make its way down to the plunging neckline. He was trying not to openly stare at her cleavage, and he was failing miserably. Coral knew her cleavage was on display. She watched as his gaze came back up to rest on her eyes.

"It is actually." He bit into his Endive salad.

"And why is that?" She asked curiously, smiling all the while.

"Because you're beautiful. I would think you would have one or two fellas chasing after you by now." He took another bite.

She was surprised by his compliment and smiled. If he only knew about the two men that were in her life now, she thought to herself. What would he think if he knew she was in an illicit affair with both men who happened to be her bosses?

"No. There's no one." She lied. " I just recently got out of a really bad relationship. I would hate to spoil dinner talking about it."

"Oh, Yes. I totally, understand. I apologize for bringing it up. It was very rude of me." He said.

"Please, it's fine. It's not your fault. How could you have known?"

They sat in silence for a few seconds.

Coral took another sip of the drink that was in front of her. "So, Paul, tell me about these properties. Our conversation over the phone was a little rushed." She hoped she sounded professional.

"Yes, we both were very busy today." He smiled, agreeing with her.

Coral smiled.

"It was my grandmother's. I keep forgetting you knew my grandmother." He began.

"Mrs.Stoll, right? Yes, I did. She was a very sweet woman. I'm so sorry for your loss."

Coral meant those words.

"It's ok. She was one hundred and six years old when she died. She had a very long and eventful life." He smiled sadly at his gran's memory. "Hell, we were all scared she would outlive all of us."

They both chuckled at that little acknowledgment. Coral noticed with each smile and look they exchanged her emotional walls were coming down around her. She found herself wishing they could have done this sooner.

"When she passed all of the property she owned went to the eldest grandchild."

"You," furnished Coral.

Paul nodded as he drank his scotch.

"Three million dollars worth of real estate."

Coral gasped at the amount.

"Oh my, Paul, that's quite a lot."

"To say the least. She had two houses, six rental properties, a grocery chain and some homeless shelters."

"You want to sell it all?" Coral was merely curious.

She wanted to know his motives even though he wasn't actually her client,yet.

"With the exception of the shelters and the grocery chain."

"So just the two homes and the six rental properties?"

"Yes."

"May I ask why?"

"Of course. It's no secret. I live too far away to be invested so heavily in this place. Sure, I grew up here and my mother still lives here, but I live in New York now. I don't have the time or to play landlord, and I have absolutely no interest in learning. I was recently promoted to Vice President at the Firm I work for."

She thought he sounded arrogant when he added that last bit of information. He seemed quite selfish to her as well. His Grandmother had worked very hard to ensure this community's stability and generosity to the less fortunate. She had seen something in this place and made it what it was today. Paul seemed to see no value in that. Her view of him changed. She felt herself wondering if Inigo or Lev would do the same thing if put in Paul's position. Somehow she knew they would do the right thing and move and keep all of the property.

"Why did you call me?"

"Mother mentioned you have become quite the little Real Estate Agent in town. She said you were the best and that you sold the Peterson's House." He had been looking at her lips while he spoke to her.

She took a sip of her wine before she answered.

"Yes, I did."

"Wow! Talk about savvy. I'm impressed Coral. They had been trying to get rid of that home since we were in school. She left out the details about you being so gorgeous now. You my dear are definitely a fine wine, just ripening beautifully with age."

Coral felt butterflies in her stomach.

"Let's make a toast," Paul said as he raised his glass in salute..

Coral smiled. She felt like everything she had wanted in her life was coming around full circle. Her high school crush was calling her gorgeous and basically drooling over her. She felt powerful and realized she would have never been this confident had it not been for the two men in her life now, Lev and Inigo.

She raised her glass with his.

"To the successes of life. May you continue to be successful and beautiful in and out of business." He smiled at her and she knew he wanted her.

She had dreamed of this day, and now that it was here she was feeling one emotion, bittersweet. As handsome and put together as Paul was, she realized she wasn't attracted to Paul, but of the idea of him. His charisma and charm all seemed puffed up and superficial when she compared him with Inigo.

Their glasses made a slight clink, and just as she was about to drink her wine she saw him. At first she thought she had conjured him up through guilt somehow, but quickly shook that idea. She watched as he stood by the hostess podium looking right at her. It was Lev. She felt as if her heart had stopped. She felt like a teenager who had just gotten caught sneaking out by their parent. His expression was cold as he looked at her and then to Paul. Paul ! Oh, my Goodness! What would Lev think? She thought. He would think she was out on a date with Paul, which she kinda was. She felt knots forming in her stomach as he held her gaze with his piercing stare. She was caught.

"Do you know that guy? He seems to be staring pretty hard at you, like he knows you." Paul acknowledged. Bringing her back to the present.

"Yes, I do, actually. That's my boss. If you will excuse me." She stood up and walked in Lev's direction when she got there she noticed he was gone. She slowly scanned the room and saw him standing outside in the valet area in the front of the restaurant. She quickly followed after him, hoping he wouldn't leave before she had made it to where he was. She hadn't brought a jacket with her tonight and standing out in the cold night air now made her wish she had. He turned and looked at her but said nothing, making it even more awkward for Coral.

"Hello, Lev. I thought you were out of town."

He said nothing.

"That, in there, wasn't what it looked like." She swallowed.

He walked over to her closing the small gap between them. He towered over her.

"Meet me at my house in fifteen minutes."

She blinked. "Are you serious?" She asked.

"Very." He said as his cherry red Mercedes Benz pulled up.

He didn't move. She couldn't read his expression, but knew he was upset with her. She wondered what would happen. She handed the valet her yellow ticket so he could locate her car.

"This is ridiculous." She sighed under her breath.

"Are you calling our agreement 'ridiculous'?"

She heard the slight edge his tone held, and knew she was pushing her limits. He was past annoyed with her. His tone was calm though when he spoke.

"You have fourteen minutes left." He looked at her one final time before getting into his car and driving away.

She wanted to throw something at his head. Men and their jealousy she thought. Without a second glance she walked back over to the valet, handed him her ticket and he quickly strode to the parking lot to retrieve her vehicle. Within minutes she was assisted inside her new vehicle and trying not to run anyone over as she sped out of the parking lot. She arrived at Lev's place ten minutes later. She had run a few lights to get there within the time constraint he had set. Before getting out of her car she sent Paul a quick apology text along with an excuse about her mother being rushed to the emergency room. She didn't wait for a reply. She put her phone in her clutch and got out of the car. She was surprised to be greeted by him.

"I see you made it in time." His smile seemed brittle to her.

She was freezing now the cool wind whipped around her. Causing her hair to become slightly disheveled. Her nipples hardened and were visible through the thin material of her lace bra and sheer blouse. As she Walked with him back to his home she wished she had dressed for the weather instead of impressing Paul.

She was grateful when they had finally arrived and gone inside of his home. The ambiance was warm and quiet. The lights were dimmed. He took her to his study and closed the door behind them. She walked over to the fireplace. It had low lazy flames but gave off a sufficient amount of heat she needed to get warm again. She turned around and caught him openly staring at her. He was appraising her and her outfit. She wanted to turn away but didn't dare. He strode over to her and stood inches away from her.

"You expect me to believe you wore this for a client?" His gaze slowly went over her body and she felt as if she were wearing nothing at all.

"Yes." Was all she dared to say.

"He didn't look like a client, and that didn't look like a business dinner."

She wrapped her arms around herself, feeling irritated by the way he made it all sound.

"It was." She countered.

"What a lucky bastard." He snorted.

She tried to walk past him. He caught her by the wrist. She looked up at him.

"Don't ever walk away from me. Do you understand?"

The look in his eyes frightened her. He was usually the fun, carefree one. She didn't see that now. A silent storm seemed to rage in his eyes. He wrapped his arm around her waist and walked with her to the middle of the room. He then began circling her slowly, like an animal stalking its prey. He stopped and they shared another heated glance. Coral wanted this to stop. He was upset with her and she didn't like the feeling.

"Why were you on a date?" He asked as if he hadn't already asked that question before.

"I wasn't." Coral felt exasperated.

"Don't lie to me. Who was he?" He hissed.

"His name is Paul, Paul Stoll. We went to highschool together. His grandmother just recently passed, and he inherited all of her property."

"How did he know about you? You told us you have only been doing this for a year."

"That's true, but this is a small town and good news travels fast. His mother gave him my information. He called wanting to know when we could arrange something. I told him I would meet him tonight. I didn't think that would be a problem. You've been in Spain the past week or so."

"I saw the way he looked at you and the way you were smiling at him. You wanted him, and he wanted you."

Coral blushed at Lev's admission. Was she that transparent?

"Tell me I am wrong." He demanded.

She shook her head.

"I can't. You're right. It's just..." She trailed off.

"What?"

"I don't know. Inigo has been acting very ...er.. protective of me. I just wanted a night out. Paul was someone I could only dream about being with back in high school, but tonight, tonight he wanted me. Maybe I got carried away. "

She saw the look he gave her.

"O.K.,I got carried away."

He began to slowly circle her once more as if the motion assisted him in picking apart her answer. She hoped he would know she was being honest with him and telling him the truth. He stopped. Their eyes locked once more.

"Were you going to let him fuck you?"

She was offended and ready to leave. She tried to walk past him. He grabbed her by her left wrist to stop her motion. He pulled her gruffly to him. His strong frame felt good against her own. She hated to admit that fact when he was acting so jealously.

"Answer me. Were you?"

"No!" She tried to wiggle free.

He wasn't budging.

"How dare you ask me such a thing. It wasn't like that. It was a business dinner."

"Not from where I was standing."

She looked down at the carpeted floor. She wished then she had never gone out with Paul. It didn't seem worth all these suspicious questions.

"How can I, we," he corrected himself, "keep this from happening again? I don't think you understand the severity of what you almost got into tonight. We are in a binding contract with you, darling. That gives us exclusive priority in your career and in your bed." His pointer finger touched her sternum slightly between the valley of her pert breasts. The light touch to her soft skin made her melt on the inside. He was jealous.

"I understand," she said.

"Say it." He placed his right hand at the nape of her neck, applying just enough pressure to keep Coral on her toes. He was acting so possessive and virile.

She inhaled sharply. "I am yours."

"And?" He asked as his hands roamed slowly, softly down her neck to her back, and then all over her thighs,and back up again. She was feeling the spell of his touch working it's magic on her. She tried to resist. It felt so good, but when his hands got to her buttocks he stopped.

"And?" He continued, making sure to give her that piercing, no-nonsense gaze.

This was showing her why these two men were successful. They fought for what they wanted and when wronged they doled out the necessary revenge to stun and surprise their opponent. She cleared her head of that thought and spoke again.

"And I will be very sure to inform you or your colleague if I intend on entertaining clients."

He chuckled at her petulance.

"No, sweetheart only male clients that you have had a crush on since you were a schoolgirl."

She nodded her head. "I understand and I apologize."

He crushed her lips with his own and the kiss took her thoughts to another place. His lips moved from her soft ones, making a soft trail on her cheek down to her neck and further still to her ears. She felt her resolve dissolving. Lev was driving her mad with his no-nonsense alpha-male attitude and his soft, yet passionate kisses.

"Get on your knees." He commanded.

She complied with his command, knowing the reward would be sweet. It always was with him.

"Unzip my trousers."

She set to the task and was successful. His pants were open. She was pleasantly surprised to find that Lev wore no underwear. His large member was semi-erect and ready to be free of the constricting pants he wore. She felt giddy thinking about what demand he would make of her next. She looked up at him.

"Show me you understand."

Their gazes held. She took hold of his hard,warm rod and gently began sucking and licking it. It grew harder with each stroke of her tongue she felt herself enjoying the power she had over him. She could hear his breathing change as he dug his hands into her hair holding fistfuls of it, taking over and thrusting hard inside of her mouth until his cock was plunging deep into the back of her throat. She gagged and that motion made him moan louder. She tried to free herself but he wouldn't let her head go. She slid his cock out a few inches and was able to breathe again. She could tell the wet slurping sound she was making was turning him on immensely. After a few minutes of that, she pulled his glistening manhood out of her mouth. He said nothing, but used his thumb to apply pressure in the center of her chin to get her to open her mouth once more. He stuck it back in. Her neck muscles were beginning to ache. She was about to use her hands when he swatted them away.

"No hands." He gently commanded. His tone nearly a growl now.

She smiled, a little excited at knowing she was pleasuring him. She was also a little frightened because she didn't know what he had in store for her for the rest of the night. The last few weeks had been a myriad of feelings with someone else and here she was pleasing Lev.

She seemed to feel as if she had grown closer to Inigo. He seemed to be at her side more than usual and they had begun falling into a routine of sorts. She would arrive at work around eight forty-five a.m., her schedule had been occupied currently with just one large business they had recently acquired. She was still in the process of seeing to the restoration of the property and it didn't help that her ex-boyfriend had tried to attack her, now Inigo was checking up on her at the office constantly. The office felt small with just herself and Valerie,now she had him there too. He was a good man, though. He always brought delicious french coffee. He always took them to really nice places for lunch, and after work was done when they were in bed together he always made sure he never left her side.

It made her wonder would Lev have done the same thing if the roles were reversed. Would he have come to her rescue that dark night as Inigo had, defending her and conquering her attacker in front of her very eyes?She knew most women would have been damn near horrified and appalled at what they had witnessed him do to Dean, but considering the circumstances Coral couldn't help but feel Inigo's actions were justified and sweet. He would also accompany her to the property that would soon be his company's new headquarters. They would get back to his home around nine. He would give her wine and feed her, they would sit together and talk as lovers did. It always ended up hot and passionate, until they both could give no more. Not discounting Lev's sexual prowess, hence her being on her knees sucking on his nice cock. She put both her hands behind her back.

"Good Girl." He moaned as he watched her.

He grabbed fistfuls of her hair once more and began thrusting deep into the back of her throat. Her mind was telling her to use her hands, to pull away, but she denied herself. She wanted to give in to him. It felt like a sweet punishment. His thrusts were strong and swift, hitting the back of her throat as his strong hands were in her soft hair making her head immobile. She was dripping wet in between her thighs. She got great pleasure from pleasing him. Lev always left her body satisfied and ravished.

The thought of the hard deep thrusts he was doing inside of her mouth would soon be the exact thrusts he used inside of her made her anxious with need. She looked up at him from her kneeling position his eyes were shut now and he was enjoying every minute of it. She felt herself gag and he pulled her up from the floor quickly only to press her up against the closest wall.

He kissed her with such a fervor and desire that it stirred her from within. It heated her core and desire for him intensified. His hands moved quickly, one lifting the tight mini skirt to expose no panties and a sexy white garter belt ; the other hand slid her top off of her shoulders and around her waist she felt her body come alive as he touched and explored every inch of her. She felt the desire building in her . All she wanted was the dull ache in between her legs to be sated. As if he knew that was what she wanted he made her widen her stance she watched as his hand touched her wet mound and she heard herself exhaling and moaning simultaneously. Her body wanted him. His fingers moved with ease as he found her core and gently rubbed it to a sharpening pleasure. She felt her legs turn to jelly. His fingers felt exquisite to her and she moaned out her satisfaction with his ministrations. She didn't want it to stop. She began moving her hips to the rhythm he played and felt her resolve melt away when he stuck his long middle finger deep inside of her tight wet cavern. She felt her body on the cusp of orgasm when Levi withdrew his finger out and took a few steps away from her. Coral felt like cold water had been dumped on her. She was still pressed against the wall. He turned his back on her and spoke.

"Get out."

"What?"

"Your atonement for tonight's escapade."

"Lev..."

"Don't worry. This stays between us. I am well aware how much Inigo cares for you. I will keep this between you and I. I suggest you do the same thing. Inigo has no idea you went on a date and I would feel sorry for the poor guy after Inigo was finished with him."

Coral felt a knot form in her stomach as Lev talked about Inigo. He couldn't find out about this. Inigo would be furious with her about this. She didn't like the thought of being dishonest with him, but it had to be done, at least for now.

"What will I tell him?" She asked.

"Tell him I had you pick me up from the airport. We had dinner and then sex. Now get out." With those words, Coral fixed her attire and left Lev's place feeling humiliated and sexually frustrated.

#  III

When she arrived back at Inigo's home she found him asleep on the couch with his laptop resting on his stomach. Neat stacks of paper were placed on the floor in front of the sofa. He appeared as if he had fallen asleep working. Seeing how hard he had been working while she was out on a date made her feel low. She hadn't been honest with him. She retrieved his laptop, closed it and placed it on the floor beside the neat stack of papers.

She thought he looked so handsome and peaceful with his eyes closed. His chest moved up and down deeply and slowly. She felt herself smiling at him without meaning to. He had begun to mean quite a lot to her. She enjoyed him and the way he made her feel, not just physically but emotionally. In business as her boss he always pushed her and she had grown considerably because of it. Tonight had been an intervention of sorts for her. She had to accept the fact that there had a been a slight possibility that she had gone out looking for something other than a lighthearted conversation with Paul, her high school crush. Back then she had been such a shy wallflower, with blah fashion sense. It was that poor Fashion sense that landed her being labeled as a "duff" (Designated Ugly Fat Friend). That had been years ago and with some help from a styling consultant and a personal trainer her mother had hired for her nineteenth birthday she always looked and dressed superbly. Her style was subtle but expensive. She could afford it now. When she saw how Paul had been shocked at her turn in appearance and had openly admired her she wanted to finally have the night she'd always fantasized about not thinking of the consequences, But when she had saw Lev it all had changed and become so real and ugly. She felt like she had betrayed Inigo the most. He was only being this overbearing and overprotective because he wanted her safe. The more she thought of her errors of tonight the sadder she became.

She didn't know if she should wake him. She saw how much space he took up on the sofa and decided he should be in his bed. She lightly shook him and spoke.

"Inigo. Inigo. Inigo darling ! Wake up !"

He started and his eyes opened slowly. His vision focused and he spoke.

"Coral. You're home. How was the dinner?"

"What dinner?" She asked.

He sat up and stretched. Then swung his legs off the sofa and stood up. He was taller than her and she had to look up at him.

"You know what dinner."

She swallowed hard. Damn. Silly of her to think she could hide this from him.

"Your dinner with Paul Stoll?"

"It went fine."

"Did he hire you ?"

"Yes."

"Wearing that I would have as well." He remarked.

She had totally forgotten she was wearing her sheer top and skin tight skirt.

She didn't know what to say at that remark. He walked past her and went to the kitchen. She followed. He spoke again.

"Why didn't you tell me you were meeting with him?"

"It was last..."

"Don't"

He turned from his task and stared into her eyes. His gaze more somber than Lev's and she felt a chill run through her. She knew he was telling her not to lie to him. He knew about everything that happened tonight.

"He contacted me at three this afternoon and I went out with him at six. I saw Lev there and I went home with him."

He was silent.

" I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do this. I Thought..I don't know what I thought."

"Are you done?" He asked. His tone was cold.

It was like he had slapped her. He was emotionless and she knew then this was an ultimate betrayal. The very thing she feared would happen to her again, she herself had done to these two men. Was there anything Dean, her ex, could have said to make her feel better about his infidelities? No there wasn't.

Coral waited to see if he would speak to her or even look at her, but he did not. She closed the distance between them and walked over to him. His back was turned. She knew he heard her. She rested her hand on his right shoulder.

"Inigo, please, talk to me.I'm sorry."

Still silence.

She tried to place her head onto his strong frame but he moved as if the motion had scorched him.

"Dammit, Coral ! Leave me alone! I don't want to talk !"

"Please ! I want to-"

"You don't want to talk to tell me the truth ! You want to cover that gorgeous ass of yours! "

"That's' not true !"

"It isn't?"

"No. It's not!"

"Were you not just about to lie to me earlier?"

She paused. Damn he had caught her . Again,

"Yes," She admitted.

"Exactly."

"But that doesn't mean I don't want to talk. "

"Where I'm from it does."

He had a point, she conceded to herself.

"I'm sorry. I was going to lie to you. I just didn't want to worry you."

"Worry me?"

"Yes."

He laughed at that remark.

"It's true Inigo!"

He smirked at her.

"Ever since that encounter with my ex you have been unbearably over protective. I can't use the restroom without your permission, and apparently tonight you had me tailed."

"I did it for your protection."

"I know, but I feel like it's too much. I want my life back. I want to sleep in my own bed and eat my own food and hang out with-"

He put his hand up to silence her and she stopped.

"I get it. You want your old life back. I'm an insufferable bore. I get it."

Coral was astonished how could he have come to such a wild conclusion. That wasn't what she was talking about at all. He had misinterpreted her words and she felt worse than she already did.

"Inigo that's not what I mean. I mean.."

"I told you I understand. Let's not talk anymore. It's late and we both have a long day tomorrow."

She knew that was his way of ending this tense conversation. She would try to apologize again. She was truly sorry that this happened. She couldn't stop hurting his feelings.

She nodded her agreement.

"Good night," She said as she walked out of the kitchen leaving him to his own thoughts. Thoughts she wished she could hear aloud.

She undressed once she got to his room. Her body loving the feel of the cool, soft sheets against it. She snuggled in. Inigo usually followed her to bed. Tonight would be an exception and she had no one to blame but herself. She tried to shut her mind off but the cold look on Inigo's face kept popping up. She had to make this right she just didn't know what she would need to do. Those were her last thoughts as she drifted off to sleep.

#  IV

Strong hands shook her awake.

"Coral ! Get up ! Now!"

She awoke and immediately yawned and stretched.

"What is it?" She asked still half asleep.

She looked at the alarm clock. It was five forty-three a.m.

"It's Lev."

"Is he alright?"

"I don't know. The head of our security team just contacted me and let me know they had to rush Lev to the hospital."

"What! Why?"

"He was run down by a car this morning."

Coral was wide awake. Something in her gut told her Dean had something to do with Lev's accident. She felt the panic she had been controlling these last few weeks coming back. As if Inigo knew it he sat down on the bed beside her.

"I'm so sorry. It's all my fault.This is all my fault."She was shaking.

She couldn't hold the tears back. She wiped them as quickly as they came. She was in Inigo's arms and his lips were on hers. He broke the kiss.

"Stop it. This isn't your fault. We don't know if it was your ex. It could be any one of our competitors. We didn't become this successful by playing nice."

"Of course, you're right." She nodded in agreement as she wiped her tears away with the back of her hand.

"Get dressed there's a car waiting for us downstairs."

He placed one more kiss on her forehead and she was happy for the affection he was giving her.

She got dressed quickly and prayed that Lev would be alright and this was all a horrible coincidence...

#  Part VI-Severalty

#  I

****

The sun was slowly rising when they arrived at the hospital. Inigo unconsciously took hold of Coral's hand and hadn't let it go even when they sat down in the waiting room for news of Lev's condition. After waiting three hours and 46 minutes a handsome doctor by the name of Dr.Macpherson informed Inigo and Coral that Lev was in a coma and had no idea when or if he would wake up. They were free to visit him. Coral went numb with that news and all she felt was remorse, and regret. The last thing they spoke about wasn't the nicest of things and she wasn't at her best. She didn't get to apologize to him for her obstinate behavior and thank him for shaking her back to reality. She looked up at Inigo his face held the same expression it had previously when she had tried to apologize. She knew then it was a mask and she knew he had to be feeling a myriad of emotions. She wished she could take this away from him. He was kind, loving, a great friend and his best friend and business partner may or may not live. How cruel the world seemed to her. She looked down at their joined hands and she felt honored that he had chose to do this with him. It showed he trusted her on some level and he found her presence comforting. He was right last night. She could never discuss what happened without there being anger and right now he didn't need that. He needed her emotional support and love. He deserved her loyalty. She just had to tell him how she felt. Could she ?

He guided her through the hospital and they arrived at Lev's room. Coral already hated hospitals. They always made her feel anxious and nervous. She didn't feel like that however. She felt sad, and her heart felt as if it would stop beating when she saw Lev. She barely recognized him. She heard Inigo curse. She saw the bandage wrapped around his head and the cast on his right leg. Various wires and tubes were on him. She covered her mouth and felt a hot tear run down her cheek.

"Who would do this?" she asked as she walked closer to him. She stood by his bedside.

"I don't know but we will find out. The police haven't told me any of the particulars, but you can bet your ass I will find who did this to my friend and I will make sure they pay for it."

Coral had no doubt Inigo would follow through with the promise he had just made. He was that type of person she was realizing, and that didn't bother her one bit, She liked that character trait in him. He was a fighter. A passionate fighter. She saw the pain in his face and rubbed his back and watched as a tear escaped. He quickly wiped it away with the back of his hand. It tore her up to see him in so much pain. He refused to leave his friend's side. She didn't have the heart to tell him to go. After a few hours had passed Inigo and Coral left the hospital. The car ride was quiet. She was feeling worn out. She still couldn't wrap her head around Lev's condition, even after seeing him laying in the hospital bed. She was looking out at the scenery when she felt his hand on her left knee. It seemed to send a chill through her. She put her hand on top of his. He raised his and began lacing their hands together. She felt her insides melting at the affectionate gesture. She looked over at him and he was smiling at her. She hadn't seen the smile in weeks she couldn't help but smile back. She felt the tension she had been harboring leave her in that moment. She felt better and it made her smile harder knowing his smile could make her smile.

"Thank you." He said.

"For what?"She asked.

"For coming with me."

"You're welcome. I couldn't let you face that alone."

"Tomorrow I'm meeting with the Investigator on Lev's case."

"That's fine. I can go to my home and get more clothing."

"Have Valerie do it." He insisted.

"Valerie is no longer my administrative assistant. She took the real estate exam and passed. She is my partner and will be setting up her own office shortly. It's ok, really. I have things I need to check on."

He looked as if he wanted to protest more, but he didn't.

"Alright. I will pick you up as soon as I leave."

"Ok." She agreed.

The car came to a halt. It was parked in front of his home. The driver opened the door and Inigo assisted her out of the car. He nodded to the driver and they were alone in his drive. They walked into the house. She took her shoes off when she stood up he was in front of her. His shirt was already off and his muscles seemed to ripple. She felt her breathing become shallow and her core began to melt at the site of his bronzed skin. He pulled her to him and began unbuttoning her flannel shirt. She let him. He peeled the clothing off her body. She wore no bra and was only wearing jeans now. He bent down and began suckling her right breast. She felt her fingers tunnel through his hair and she could no longer resist. She moaned causing him to suck harder. Her mound became wet and she wanted him inside of her, making her orgasm like only he could. She needed it. He stopped suckling her breasts to gaze at her and she saw raw need and passion in his eyes. She wrapped her arms around him. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him hungrily. His hands found her firm buttocks and he squeezed it as if he was testing for its ripeness. She moaned louder at his gesture. His hands worked swiftly as he unzipped his pants and pushed them down. He did the same to her. They were naked in her hallway both taking in the other. She watched as his erection became harder and harder before her very eyes. She realized they were in the hallway and felt herself about to blush.

"We should go upstairs." She offered.

He said nothing only stroked her shoulders then rested his hand on her hips and quickly turned her around. She had gotten her answer, she thought. He rubbed his hard manhood on her soft buttocks and it drove her to distraction. He pressed her up against the hallway wall and spread her legs apart. He rubbed the tip of his cock on her wet slit and he moaned this time.

"You're wet for me already. Aren't you?" He asked in a whisper in her ear, making her wetter.

She nodded her head.

"Say it." He demanded, as he rubbed his tip faster on her wetness making her want it inside of her, he was such a tease she thought.

"I am wet for you."

"And only me."

He put the tip of his manhood inside of her and she moaned at the sweet pleasure of it. She tried to push back and get more of his inches inside of her, but he pulled out and began that sweet torture again

"Say it." He whispered and began nibbling on her ear. Her nipples grew hard and she gasped in delight.

"I'm wet for you and only you." She admitted breathlessly.

He plunged inside of her hard and didn't stop pumping until she was screaming and wildly bucking with him. He made her orgasm several times, every time making her look into his eyes as she exploded into a million pieces. It was an intense passion she had never experienced and she thoroughly enjoyed the way he held his hand around the nape of her neck as he plunged deep inside of her form the back. She felt like her body was no longer hers and the stress of the last few weeks melted away. She felt herself grip the entryway frame of the dining room and heard his guttural moans. It was so hot to her. He turned her around picked her up and continued his pleasurable assault on her body. She threw her head back in wild abandon as he kissed a trail along her slender neck. She felt his strong arms holding her and knew he wouldn't' ever let her fall. Her heart swelled at that thought and an overwhelming feeling of love washed over her.

"Baby? Are you ok?" He slowed his motion.

"Yes."

"Are you sure? You're crying."

"Yes. I am." She said and then buried her face in the crook of neck. She couldn't stop. He held her and walked them up the stairs and into his bedroom. He gently deposited her on his bed she looked so small to him, small and vulnerable. He wanted to protect her and always be with her. He wanted to know what was bothering her. If it was in his power her would fix it.

He sat on the bed behind her and he gently pulled her up against his frame. She leaned back in his arms and reveled in the comfortable intimate feeling she was feeling. He kissed her on the top of her head.

"This is nice." She admitted.

"Yes it is. Isn't it? " She knew he was smiling.

"I'm sorry for ruining the mood and for being so stupid about Paul. I appreciate everything you have done for me and I couldn't see my life without you being in it. The last few months have been different and fun. Everything I couldn't possibly imagine." She took a deep breath. "Inigo I'm in love with you."

There was silence for few moments. He heard her sniffle. She had admitted what he was praying she would. She was in love with him and he had fallen for her the day he laid eyes on her. Lev had come up with the idea of them sharing her in case she wasn't what Inigo thought she would be. She turned out to be so much more. She was kind, sweet, funny, and genuine. The passion they shared was unlike any other he had experienced and now he wanted to make sure he would never lose her. He felt like angels had blessed him when she said those words.

"I love you too. Rest." He said and pulled the covers back and tucked her into them. He laid with her and watched her fell asleep. He smiled down at her. She loved him and he knew he could face whatever was in store for him because he would have her by his side.

******

The following morning Inigo and Coral couldn't keep their hands off of one another. He had a few minutes before he had to go speak with the private investigator,but that didn't seem to matter. He was half dressed. He wore trousers and his dress shirt was unbuttoned showing his bronzed, muscled skin and perfect abs. Coral was also half dressed only wearing her bra and panties because Inigo couldn't seem to keep his hands to himself. Last night she had told him how she had felt and it had seemed to bring them closer. They didn't speak about what was said but she could feel it in the air around them. They both seemed more easygoing around the other. He had also made up for her tears by waking her up to some of the hottest morning sex she had ever had in her life. They were laughing and kissing. She looked at the clock on his dresser

"You really have to get going." She said in between kisses.

"Alright, I will be over your place as soon as I'm finished. Yes?"

She nodded 'yes' As she brushed her hair in the mirror.

He playfully gave her bottom a spank and walked out of the house.

Coral arrived at her home twenty minutes later. It felt foreign to her. Like she was housesitting for someone. It was clean and she knew Inigo had someone maintaining it while she stayed at his place. She went upstairs with her black duffel bag. Her room was just as she had left it. Her slippers were still beside her bed. She smiled. It was odd. She didn't feel like this was her home any longer. She laughed to herself about the irony of it all. For the past couple of weeks she had wanted nothing more but to be in this very place, but now that she was here, things seemed so cold. She felt her cell phone vibrate so she took it out of her pocket and checked it. She had received a notification from Valerie informing her they were all packed for their office expansion move. She texted Valerie she would be over once Inigo arrived. She pressed the send button and just as she was about to leave her room she saw Dean in her doorway holding a gun, and pointing it at her. She looked at him then back at the gun. This wasn't good.

"Hello Dear. So glad you could come home."

"How did you get in here? How do you know where I stay?"

"I know more than you think." He said and he walked over to her and yanked her from off the bed. She yelped in pain.

"Shut up." He demanded.

She noticed he was still holding the gun and it was aimed at her.

"Why are you here?"

"Not to get you back that's for damn sure. Move!" He said as he held her by her right upper arm and escorted her out of the room.

"Is this about money?" She asked trying to stall for time.

"No. But i'm sure your little boyfriends can afford to pay a ransom if I asked them."

She turned to look at him then. A slick grin was on his face.

"Yes, I know about your two bosses or should I say lovers. They share you. You're a little whore aren't you?"

She said nothing. She knew he was baiting her. She just needed to find out why he was here.

"So it's not money and you don't want me back, this must be revenge then."

He said nothing and she knew then this was what it was about.

They descended her small spiral staircase. His nails dug into her flesh.

"You're still mad about what happened?"

"He humiliated me and you let him."

"Excuse me!"

"Yes you let him get involved in our personal business and let him attack me like some ape in an expensive suit. This is all your fault."

"So was Lev revenge? Did you run him over."

He recognized who she was talking about when she divulged the last part of information.

" Him? He was a mistake I thought he was the other one. That's how I found out you were fucking both of them. I watched you wiggle your little ass for him and beg for his cock in your mouth." He had been watching her and Lev and her stomach turned at the admission of the violation. "You never did any of these things with me did you? Too busy acting like a prude. I'm not a billionaire so your legs and tricks in bed could only go so far. Is that it?"

She was insulted but she refrained from trying to spit on him or inflame him any further. She had to escape this nightmare. Dean was a raving lunatic. She was angry at herself all over again for allowing this person to once again work his way into her life and trap her. He pulled out handcuffs and she protested immediately.

"Dean, look, you don't have to do this. I will behave. I am behaving I haven't tried to run or scream."

"Not yet anyway," he retorted, and put both her hands behind her back as he put the handcuffs on her. He nudged her to continue walking until they reached the living room.

"Sit down ." He instructed

She dropped herself on her couch. He slapped her hard. She fell back. She hadn't been expecting that. Her head was spinning a little. She felt his hands on her body and he retrieved her cell phone.

"Let's have some fun." He said as he began taking pictures of Coral. "We will send these to your boyfriend. Lets see how fast he gets here." He sent the message then threw the phone on the couch beside her. "He better hurry or I will start the fun without him."

Coral didn't know what that meant but she sure as hell didn't want to find out....

*****

Inigo received Coral's texts while in the debriefing with the private investigator. He thought he would be receiving a fun sexy selfie she was sending, but was sorely mistaken when he opened the message and saw her with her hands behind her back and her ex- hovering over her. He had to look at it twice to see the gun in his hand. Inigo was furious. It appeared to him that Coral's ex- had no idea how crazy he could get. He just found out that she loved him, and he wasn't going to let anyone stand in his way of that happiness,not even Dean. He had to play this smart though he told himself.

"Is everything ok?" asked the investigator.

"Yes everything is fine. I have a meeting with an important investor I forgot about Can I call you later today to finish this up?"

The investigator looked annoyed, but knew Inigo was paying him handsomely to give him the information so he couldn't be too upset with him.

"Yes Sir , that's not a problem."

"Good." Inigo said as he shook the man's hand and immediately walked out the front of the building. He took the keys to his mercedes from his trusted bodyguard Stanly.

"Stan, I'm heading to Coral's can you have Brad come pick you up. It's rather urgent."

Stanly nodded his head and Inigo was driving as fast as he could to get to Coral. He arrived at her place in record time. He sat in the car looking at her townhouse. On the outside it appeared like any other home tucked nicely away in a upper class, gated neighborhood, but he knew she was in there with her crazy ex- he prayed that no harm would come to her. He prayed for protection and he prayed that she was still alive. He too a deep breath and got out of the car and walked to her door. He knocked twice and the door was opened. Coral stood in the doorway. Her hands still behind her back.

"Please, come in." She said and took a step back allowing him to enter. The door closed behind them. He saw the gun first and then him.

"Ah there's the man of the hour." Inigo said looking at Dean as if he were trash.

Dean held up the gun and said, "Yep, everybody's here. Let's all get cozy shall we? If you'll lead the way to the Living room darling?" He said to Coral.

She had no choice but to lead them. Once in the living room Dean pushed her down on the sofa.

"Don't touch her again." Inigo said in an unnerving calm voice.

"Don't worry. Since you've showed up I won't have to. You got here fast. You must really care about her."

"I do."

"Oh yea, by the way sorry about your friend. If he ever wakes up out of that coma I put him in can you tell him I was trying to kill you." He smirked at Inigo.

Inigo couldn't take the baiting any longer. He had to end this here and now. He had just confessed to running over his best friend. He looked over at Coral she was trying to sit up but was struggling. He noticed Dean wasn't holding the gun firmly or paying any attention. He saw his chance and took it. He quickly charged Dean, hitting him in his side causing them to fall and the gun to fire. Coral screamed. Inigo grabbed Dean's wrist and they struggled on the ground. She watched as inigo twisted Dean's hand and heard the bones break in it. He howled in pain. Inigo grabbed the gun out of his hand began punching him mercilessly with it, until her white carpet was splattered in blood.

"Inigo!" she screamed and he stopped.

He turned around and looked at her. It was over she thought. She smiled at him through tears. The look on his face was one of sheer terror. She looked down and saw blood a piercing pain shot through her shoulder and she realized she had been shot when they had been wrestling. She watched as the pool of blood grew larger and larger. She fainted. Inigo caught her before she hit the ground and the last thing she remembered was him screaming his love for her and begging her not to die...

*****

When she came to coral's right shoulder felt like it was on fire. From what she could deduce she was in the hospital. She looked down and saw she was wearing a hospital gown and her right arm was in a sling. It all flooded back to her then. Her going to her place to retrieve her items and being confronted with Dean and his gun. She was still shocked he had gone this far with all of it. Then memories of how what Inigo had done. It had been brave and very stupid. She didn't remember if Dean was dead or not and panic began to rise up in her. Just as it was about to come out of her she felt a strong hand on her arm and looked to her right. It was Inigo. He looked a mess. He was covered in old blood and, had bags under his eyes from not sleeping. It was night time.

"How long have I been here?" She asked. Her throat felt sore.

"Seventy-two hours, 15 minutes." He said as if he had been keeping track of every second of every minute.

"You haven't left my side have you?"

"No I haven't. I wanted to be here when you awoke. I was so scared that you.." He trailed off. She looked on as he tried to hold on to what little composure he had left. She reassured him then, hoping that would give him the comfort he needed.

"I'm awake now my love."

She squeezed his hand as best she could. He smiled at her and a single tear fell. He was so beautiful to her. He really did care about her. He was always there for her when it mattered, and when it didn't she admitted to herself.

"I kept thinking this was all my fault. Had I not wrestled him to the ground. You wouldn't be injured." He was talking frantically.

She tried to sit up to talk with him but the movement sent pain shooting through her shoulder. She finally got in a comfortable position and spoke.

"I thank God for what you did. You saved us. He was crazy. "

"Are you sure he didn't hurt you?"

"I'm sure."

"He won't be bothering us anymore."

"What did you do to him?"

"Nothing he didn't deserve."

She gave him a worried look. He chuckled.

"I handed him over to the proper authorities so he can go to jail for stalking and kidnapping you and for hitting Lev."

"I'm so sorry."

"No I'm sorry. You told me this was him and I completely went against your judgement. Had I not this would have went a different way. I almost lost you. I never want to feel that way again. You scared me so bad. More than that crazy bastard ex- of yours. I saw the blood and then you..you just fell. I thought..." He trailed off and she felt his words pulling at her heart.

"It's alright, really. You got him and now justice can be served." She said in a reassuring tone.

"It's not. I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to you."

She smiled.

Just then Dr. Macpherson entered her room.

"Mr. MccRay, so glad I found you."

"Hello Doctor. Yes, I was just visiting with Ms...."

"I have news in regards to your friend, our other patient."

His eyes seemed to shine brighter.

"You do? "

"Yes. He is awake and in stable condition."

Coral was so happy. Inigo was so overjoyed he hugged the Doctor, picked him up and spun him around. The Doctor was just as surprised. Inigo put him down.

"Sorry Doc." he offered

"It's fine really. It happens more than you think. You should go visit him."

"Can Coral go as well?"

He picked up her chart that sat in the small cubby beside the door and scanned it.

"It says here other than her gunshot wound to the shoulder she can be released as soon as tomorrow morning. So I don't see why not."

Inigo shook the Doctor's hand and he was gone.

"Let me help you out of bed." He gently held her hand.

She used her weight and lifted herself up. Her shoulder felt extremely sore. Inigo had a wheelchair ready for her .

"I don't need that. I can walk."

"You're sure?"

"Yes. I'm positive."

He kissed her on the top of her head.

"You should change your shirt." She said as she looked at the rust colored dried blood stained on his dress shirt that he still wore. She watched as he looked down at it. It was as if he had forgotten he had been wearing it. He quickly took it off and wore only a white tank underneath. Coral found herself fixated on how handsome he was.

"Much better." She said.

He chuckled.

"Ready?"

She nodded and they left her room in search of Lev's which happened to be only four doors down. He was awake and watching Television while texting on his cell. Inigo smiled knowing that Stanley had saw to Lev's comforts while he had been worried about Coral's. Lev looked in their direction and smiled.

"You two look like hell." He said in that way that made them smile at his sarcastic tone.

"We could say the same about you." Inigo quipped.

"Toucher."

Inigo walked over to the bed and placed his hand on his best friend's right shoulder and gave it a little squeeze.

"Good to have you back old friend." He sad as he removed his hand.

"Good to be back."

"Did you find the moron who ran me down?" He asked. He noticed Coral was standing on the opposite side of the bed. She reached out and he gently held her hand.

"I'm so sorry this happened." She whispered to him. "I'm sorry about everything." He saw the tears begin to fall.

"Coral, please, it's not your fault."

"It was my ex-boyfriend who tried to kill you. He thought you were Inigo. He was still stewing about what happened at my office and wanted to hurt him."

"It's o.k. Really. Never mind what happened to me what happened to you two? Where is your shirt?"

Inigo spoke this time.

"He tried to bait me by holding Coral hostage. I saw a chance. I took it. We ended up wrestling for the gun. It went off "

"What the fuck! You shot the woman you love bro!"

Inigo shot him a look

Coral smiled. Inigo was apparently transparent in regards to how he felt about her around Lev and now thinking back to all the events they had shared he had worn his emotions on his sleeve the entire time. She had just failed to notice it. She vowed then she wouldn't let another day go by minimizing his feelings and actions towards her.

"I have to get Coral back to her room." Inigo provided. Not acknowledging what his friend had said.

He shook Lev's hand and squeezed it lightly before he escorted Coral back to her room. She didn't protest to his admission because she was feeling tired and her shoulder was on fire now. She knew the nurse would come in and give her more pain medication, but she didn't like to use a lot of it because she didn't like to become too dependent on anyone or anything. Inigo assisted her in getting back into her bed and like clockwork a nurse came in and administered her half the prescribed dose of pain medication per Coral's request.

They were silent for a few moments. Inigo stood by her side looking down at her with warmth and concern in his eyes.

"Today's been quite a day." He observed, and pulled the covers up to her waist.

"Yes it has been a wonderful day." She agreed.

"Oh ma cher, I'm sorry for shooting you." They both lightly chuckled at the comment. "Rest, tomorrow you get to come home with me." He smiled that sexy smile and her heart melted. She was head over heels in love with him. The way they had handled these highly stressful and semi dangerous situations as a coupe spoke volumes of their love and commitment to the other. He was perfect for her. She couldn't see herself without him.

Inigo watched as Coral fought the sleep that was sure to consume her once more. Her eyes were opening quickly and closing slowly. After five minutes she gave up the fight and went to sleep. She looked so small and frail to him in the hospital bed. Every time he thought of how she acquired her wound it sent chills down his spine. He could have lost her. He had acted to foolishly. True it has saved them from Dean, but he could have come up with a better plan. He acted haphazardly and almost lost the one thing that he truly loved, Coral. He had conceded to share her because it was a convenient cover and then once he'd had her once he tasted her sweetness and delved into her sensual womanhood. He knew she was the only woman he wanted to be with and if that was the case he knew she felt the same way. They were meant for each other. It took all this tragedy to happen for him to see. but he was glad he knew who his loved ones were.

He was also head over heels ecstatic about Lev waking up. He had his best friend back, and his business partner. Things would go back to normal, but before that could happen he knew he had to let Lev know he was claiming her. He knew his friend wouldn't mind, but he wanted to play it safe. He watched his sweet beautiful girl sleep and then left her room and went back to his friend's.

Inigo leaned in the doorframe of his business associate and long time friend's hospital room as he listened to his friend flirt his ass off with a young sweet nurse. She was removing the iv tube from his arm and blushing very much as Lev worked his charm and male magic on her. Inigo had missed his friend and was very thankful that he was alive and doing much better. He watched her adjust his pillow and he whispered something in her ear making her giggle and blush. She quickly stood upright and finally noticed him at the door. She blushed more and quickly left the room without a word. Lev was grinning ear to ear, seemingly pleased with making her blush and giggle.

"I can see see your feeling much better." He spoke as he walked back over to his friends bed and sat in the chair that was situated directly beside it.

"Yes It seems I am.Who knew a coma would make me feel mentally recharged. The Doctor wants to keep me a couple of more days for observation and tests. How are you ? You seemed really shaken about how things went down with Coral's crazy bastard of an ex."

"It's handled. " He said gruffly

Lev didn't push it any further.

"Marry her."

"What?"

"For God's sake man marry her. You're in deep."

"I am."

Lev smiled. He had known for quite sometime. He just wasn't the type to ride his friend about his love life. He had always been the type to encourage him. This love triangle they were in now was only because Lev knew how shy Inigo was, and now that he saw how he was around Coral and the way Coral was around him he knew he had to do the right thing by his friend and end the triangle. He would love for his friend to be happy. He deserved it. Few knew the real struggles and obstacles they faced during their younger years. Lev knew it was time for his friend to enjoy his life and have love in it.

"There's only one thing left to do." Lev said as he took his tablet from the bedside table and started going through the yearly projections.

"What is that, mon ami?" he asked obviously oblivious to what was going to be said.

"Marry her and be done with it."

"I can't."

"Yes you can,. You can and you will. If you're worried about me and my feelings for her. Rest assured I will be fine. She is quite a beauty in every sense of the word, but she deserves to be happy and you can give her that. Besides, she's in love with you too."

Inigo listened to Lev and knew this was why they had been friends for all these years. He always gave it to him straight and always had his friends best interest at heart, even when Inigo couldn't see them himself. He felt like a boulder had been lifted off of his shoulders. He wanted to shout on the rooftop his happiness....

#  Epilogue

Six weeks Later...

"I'm so nervous." Inigo confessed.

"Really? It's just my parents, and SUnday dinner."

"Just your parents? They are important people in your life. Their opinion of me matters."

The serious tone he took on made her smile. He was nervous. She had never seen him this nervous before, not even when they had that huge investors dinner that ended up landing their company a multi-million dollar deal. Seeing him nervous made her feel a little better.

"They will love you."

"Will they?"

Coral rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Of course ! You saved their daughter's life and you love her very much."

She leaned over the console in the middle of the vehicle and planted a light kiss on his lips. They were warm and soft.

"Thanks, I needed that." He said.

"Good, now let's get out of the car before they think we have changed our mind."

They both laughed and got out of the vehicle. He walked over to her and put her hand in his as they walked up the driveway to her Parents' home. Coral wasn't nervous. She knew her parents would love him. He was financially stable, closer to her age and made her happy, and that was all they truly cared about.

Coral opened the front door and Inigo followed her inside the lovely tudor style home.

"Mom? Dad? We're here."

"In the dining room sweety." She heard her mother's voice answer back.

They walked through the foyer and further still until they reached the dining room. She saw her Mother and Father standing beside a nicely decorated table laden with delicious looking food.

As soon as her mother saw them she quickly went to her daughter and hugged her tightly. Coral knew her mother was happy to see her alive and well. When she broke the hug she noticed her father was standing behind her mom, smiling.

"Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet Inigo. My boyfriend." She tried not to blush saying those words aloud. "He is also the man who saved my life."

She saw unshed tears in her mother's eyes and she pulled Inigo to her and hugged him tightly. It made Coral smile.

"Thank you for saving our daughter."

Inigo didn't know what to say, so he simply said "You're welcome."

"And this is my father Sherman. Daddy this is Inigo."

Inigo extended his hand and watched as Coral's father gave him a stern look that broke into a smile.

"Welcome to the family son." He said and joined in on the hug.

Coral felt overwhelmed with love from these three people and was so happy that they recognized him as the good man that he was. After several seconds passed and her parents were still hugging him Coral noticed Inigo's strange expression and blush.

She cleared her throat to get her parents attention and when it didn't work she broke the silence by speaking.

"Are you two going to let him go so we can sit down and eat this magnificent Sunday dinner you've prepared?" With the mention of food both her parents let him go and apologized if they made him feel uncomfortable.

They sat down and moments later they were happily eating and talking as if they had known Inigo for years. Coral thanked her lucky stars that she had decided to take a chance on Lev and Inigo because in the end she had won something more priceless than her sexual freedom. She had won true love...

THE END
