One shot about Elliot's dreams while he is without Olivia. Please review and enjoy )
The pale moon glared through the frosted window of Elliot Stabler's bedroom, harsh light illuminated his muscular body, twisted in the agony of his nightmare. His sheets were tangled around him as his head turned from side to side in a fit, sweat gathering at his brow.
"Olivia . . . " His groan broke the silence of his empty apartment, his eyes clenching harder as he fought deep in his dreams.
She had come back to the squad, back to him after a year undercover for the FBI. Unspoken passion that lay dormant while she was away had suddenly turned into a blaze that threatened to consume them both as soon as their eyes met. His skin burned with it as he waited for his moment when he could steal her away from their friends and co-workers, for the moment where he would have her all to himself.
When this moment finally presented itself as he drove her home at the end of their work day, Elliot seized it instantly. He captured her face in his hands, their eyes meeting for one moment before he tasted the lips he had longed for what seemed like an eternity. Their kiss was harder than he wanted, and for a brief second he thought she would pull away, his mind began building a wall to protect himself if she rejected him. However when he felt the soft touch of her tongue against his lower lip all of his strength and resistance was shattered. He pulled her close, her name escaping his lips as a hot moan as his desire for her burned hotter inside of him. Elliot's tears threatened to spill from his eyes as he cupped her flushed face in his hands, his thumb stroking her cheek.
'Oh Olivia . . . I love you.' The confession that hung on his lips for years finally burst free and he closed his eyes as he bent his head to taste her sweet lips again.
Like his dreams every night since she left, this is where his happiness ended. Elliot would always be a breath away from taking Olivia's lips again when his sweetest fantasies turned to dark nightmares.
'Olivia . . . Olivia . . . oh God!' Her blood was soaking into his clothes as he held her tightly to his body, rocking her back and forth.
'Please Olivia, please don't leave me . . . oh darling.' Elliot groaned and held the limp body of his true love in his arm as he tried to infuse his strength into her body. No matter how he begged she never opened her eyes for him, never came back to him.
Elliot sat up in his bed, his breath coming in choked gasps as he blinked at the empty room. Looking down he stared at his hands, no longer covered with Olivia's blood.
"Olivia . . . " The realization that he had been dreaming again had finally sunk in but the harsh reality offered no comfort. She was still gone, no matter how hard he tried Elliot knew that in the end he was left helpless to fate and to his own hopes that she would return to him.
Elliot finally gave into his pain, allowing his hands to cover his face as he wept, the moonlight giving away to another day without her.
