SOLD !!

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 of the sliding glass door that led into the indoor greenhouse, while Inigo 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 notorious unsellable home.
