Peter Bishop stood off to the side and watched his girlfriend of almost a year, Olivia Dunham, pile drive a suspect into the ground then tackle him making the huge macho guy whimper in pain and embarrassment. She had her handcuffs around the guy's wrists before he could even blink and was hauling him up on his feet and marching him to the waiting car. Peter never got tired of watching his feisty girlfriend take full grown men by surprise with her strength and agility. In fact if he were to be honest with himself he would have to say that watching her being in control turned him on beyond reason. However lately he had been noticing something that had him thinking. The more power that was given to her the more she took. Olivia Dunham was anything but greedy and would literally give the shirt off her back to someone in need, but there was no denying the fact that she reveled in the power that was given to her on a daily basis, a power that made her dominant, not only during the day while working but at night as well. She was the most dominant sexual partner that he had ever had before. He had absolutely nothing against her taking lead in bed and thoroughly enjoyed her on top during sex. However the sheer thought of bringing her down a notch excited him immensely. It was just getting her to agree to relinquishing control that would be the hard part. She was anything but reasonable when it came to the possibility of her showing even the tiniest bit of vulnerability or submission. How he was even going to pose the suggestion was beyond him, he did know one thing though. The suggestion would be made when they were alone. He would like to stay alive and have all of his bones in one piece and his skin still attached to his body. It wasn't until later that night after Walter had passed out from too much ice cream and too many drugs, that Peter walked over to Olivia who was staying the night, and placed his hands on her shoulders from behind.

"I have a proposition for you."He said softly in her ear, feeling her shudder at the touch of his lips so close to her cheek. "But before I make it you have to promise not to freak out or try and kill me."

"Peter."Olivia chuckled lightly and turned around to face him, her hands going up to cup his cheeks. "What is it?"

"Well you know how you want me to go to the FBI event that's being held in about a week?"Peter asked.

"Yes."Olivia said tipping her head to the side. "But I thought you said that you weren't going."

"Well that's where the proposition comes in."Peter said and gave her a small smile. "I know that you want me there with you to help stay mentally sane, no matter how incredibly mind numbing it sounds like it's going to be. But because I love you, I'll reconsider going…But you have to give me something in exchange."

"What would that be?"Olivia asked with a raised eyebrow, surprised that he would even be making an offer to go since she knew it was the last thing on earth that he wanted to do.

"I want you to be submissive for a week."Peter said and cupped her cheek.

"Peter you know I can't do that, my job requires me to be…"

"Not at work."Peter cut her off and leaned in until his lips brushed her ear. "In bed."

"Peter?"Olivia asked and pulled away from him just enough to look in his eyes.

"Don't get me wrong sweetheart, I love having you in control. But for one week I'm asking for you to relinquish it."

"What would that entail?" Olivia asked and saw Peter smirk in a way that made her knees weak.

"During that week, anything that I want to do to you in bed, I can."Peter stated. "You can't take control; the control would be mine alone for that week."

"And if I don't agree to this proposition, is there another offer?"Olivia asked and got a broad smile from Peter and a shake of his head.

"No."He said and let his smile slowly fall. "Though if there is anything that I'm doing to you that you don't like then you can stop me. I'm not going to hurt you love."

"Can I have some time to think about this?"Olivia asked.

"Yes."Peter nodded. "However tonight is Sunday night and if you are to relinquish control then it would start tomorrow night. You have until then to decide."

Olivia looked at him and bit her bottom lip then nodded, she would definitely think about what he had suggested. She really did want him at that event since it was going to be her and a dozen or so of the most boring people in Boston. Plus there was the one man that was well into his 70's that always hit on her, giving her saucy winks and polygrip smiles as she referred to them. The man always applied way too much dencher cream and the stuff oozed over his false teeth. Plus having Peter in control during sex wasn't a foreign idea to her and she rather liked the idea of having him hovering over her, doing delicious things to her body that she normally didn't allow him to do, not that she didn't like his attention; it was that she liked pleasing him more.

Olivia was pulled from her thoughts when Peter took her hand and led them up the stairs and to his bedroom where they changed into their normal pajamas, Olivia in Peter's shirt and a pair of underwear while Peter wore just his boxers. They climbed into bed together and Peter wrapped his arm around her, pulling her tightly to his chest. Olivia instantly melted into him and sighed contently. Peter chuckled lightly at her sigh and buried his nose in her hair and inhaled the floral scent that he recognized as the shampoo that she had bought special for him knowing that one of his favorite scents was apple blossom.

"Keep in minds sweetheart that no matter what choice you make, I still love you."Peter whispered into the still air around them.

"I know you do."Olivia said and rolled over so that she was facing him, her hand going up to the side of his neck, her thumb rubbing the stubble on his cheek. "I just have to think about this. It's not easy for me, letting go, letting myself be vulnerable."

"I know."Peter smiled at her and kissed her temple.

"I'm really not good at giving up control."

"That's fine sweetheart. You're perfect just the way you are."Peter said and placed a kiss on the tip of her nose.

"I'm not perfect."

"You are to me."Peter argued and leaned down capturing her lips with his own in a sweet kiss.

"Suck up."Olivia remarked and saw Peter pretend to be hurt.

"Me?"He asked in mock horror. "I would never do anything like that."

"Yea and Walter would never walk around the house naked."Olivia retorted and got a snort from Peter.

"Get some sleep sweetheart."He said and reached over, turning off the lamp.

"I love you."Olivia said in the dark and welcomed Peter's lips on hers.
