Yeah, I changed the name of this fic, it was 'Whispers in the Dark' it's now called 'Cure'
'Cause slightly broken's just what I need
And if you give me what I want
Then I'll give you what you like

Olivia woke in the dark room, the sun not yet rising over the Manhattan sky. The numbers on the clock by the bed glowed brightly telling her it was only a little after four am. The feel of the weight tightening around her middle woke her from her drowsy sleep. She turned her head slightly only to feel Brian right behind her, his face buried between his pillow and her naked shoulder.
The smile grew on her tired face as his arm moved slightly around her middle, she slipped deeper under the heavy covers and slowly turned onto her left side coming face to face with the man she hadn't seen in thirteen years, her fingers softly tracing the outline of his sleeping face, gently scratching the stubble that coated his cheeks, just one more thing about him that had changed over the years.
They hadn't planned to fall into bed together just over a week ago, they hadn't planned for it to happen four times after that either but here they were, in her apartment, her bed, between her sheets, bodies filled with lust, red wine and a little bit of nostalgia. He had this pull on her, Olivia couldn't quite figure it out, the moment they met again after parting on not so good terms all those years ago sparked something in her, something she had no idea how to even being to describe. They were both broken and bruised individuals who had a lot more in common than they ever thought and for right now, they were exactly what each other needed to relieve the everyday stress that seemed to unforgivingly plague their lives.
Since Elliot had put his papers in without so much as a goodbye she had put up a higher wall than ever before, a new bar on the cage around her heart. The one man who had stuck by her, who had pushed her buttons, who had been there by her side for the last thirteen years had gone, had fucked off and left her all alone in the world and it was something she would never forgive. David Haden had swept her off her feet, he was so full of charm she felt it radiating in her kneecaps the moment she met him and for the first time, without Elliot there to pick at every detail of why it was a bad idea to date him, she could enjoy a date with the man and not have to worry about a thing.
That fleeting relationship had turned out to be a mess, work got in the way of feelings and she was left with a bruised heart and that cage around it had slowly started fixing up the few bars that he had managed to crack.
"Go back to sleep" He mumbled as he dipped his head and kissed her shoulder
Olivia grinned and slipped her arm under his and around his back, her nails gently scratching his skin. "I cant," She whispered
"Yes you can," Brian pulled her closer, their skin colliding in the warmth of her bed "Just close your eyes"
His sleepy voice burned against the skin of her neck hitting through into her soul, a feeling that she just wasn't ready for. This was just sex, the two of them were just fooling around for a while until the moment came when they would realise it wasn't meant to be anything more and they would wander off into the darkness alone, each drifting their own separate ways.
This wasn't anything more than sex, right? Her mind blurred for a moment with a 'what if' scenario before she dropped back to reality.
"But I can't" She whispered in the dark, she leaned in and smiled as her lips softly touched his.
"You're different this morning" He smiled, his eyes still closed as he kissed her back, teasingly pulling her bottom lip between his teeth "It's almost as if you like me"
Olivia laughed and slapped his back "Shut up" She teased before lifting her leg suggestively over his hip, her foot slowly running up and down his lower leg "I can make it worth your while" She whispered as her lips latched on to his neck.
"Hmm, I'm sure you can" Brian mumbled, fusing his mouth with hers, their tongues lazily dancing back and forth as he slowly rolled over so she lay beneath him, her leg still curled up over his hip.
He grinned with pride as she whimpered in pleasure against his mouth, her fingers knotted in his hair tight as he took her by surprise, pushing his thick length into her hard, their hips collided and Olivia gasped against his shoulder, chuckling lightly as his hand slowly teased the back of her thigh that was wrapped around his hip.
"I have to go soon" He mumbled, his lips pressed against her neck, the sound of the blooding pounding through his veins rattling in his ears as she gasped and moaned at his hips thrusting hard yet slow against hers.
"Hmm, are you sure?" She smirked and kissed his mouth, clenching her muscles, grinning as he groaned and dropped his head to her shoulder and thrust harder and faster into her.
Just as he nodded, the faint buzzing sound hit their ears, a cell phone, his specifically, the name 'Ganzel' flashing from the bedside table.
"Shit" Brian muttered
"Ignore it" Olivia moaned, her hips pushing up to meet his as she felt her body responding quickly to his movements, her orgasm obviously imminent.
"I am" He grinned with a moan and kissed her pouted lips.
"Please…" She whispered, arching her back as he hit a spot inside of her that made her legs shake. "Oh fuck…" She mumbled as he grabbed her thigh and pulled it higher above his hip
He kept slowly thrusting, Olivia's hands grasped at anything she could, his shoulder and the pillow beneath her head as he tried to hold back, the brunette quivering beneath him making it almost impossible to focus.
Olivia gasped as his fingers slipped between them and worked her into a frenzy. She tried to push him away only to feel her climax suddenly take over, she immediately slammed her hand back against the headboard and pushed her body hard against his, her back arched as his lips attacked her chest
"Liv…" Brian muttered against her damp skin, his eyes squeezed shut as the brunette beneath him trembled and bucked, her voice searing in his bones.
"Oh fuck, o-oh shit…Bri!" Olivia cried out as he pounded hard and fast into her already shaking, over-sensitive body.
Just under an hour later they lay spent, tangled in a mess of limbs and bed sheets, lips meshed quickly, as they knew he had to leave.
"I feel awful leaving right now" he spoke against her lips.
"Don't," She replied, "I did the same to you"
"That was different"
A flashback to thirteen years ago drifted into her mind, her beeper breaking the two of them apart and her practically jumping from the bed telling him not to get used to it as she sauntered from the bedroom in nothing but a silk robe.
"Be careful," She whispered in the darkness, her lips touching his before he left her bed and made his way into the bathroom.
.
Olivia hadn't even realised she'd fallen into a light sleep until she was awoken by the irritating buzz of her cell phone this time, against the bedside table, her fingers smacked the corner of the wood before she grabbed the flashing device.
Squinting in the darkness she quickly glanced at the name "Captain?" Her tired voice rang out; the faint sound of water splashing let her know that Brian was indeed still in her apartment.
The troubled voice of her captain fought through her fuzzy mind and she shot up in bed, her heart dropping to her feet as she quickly glanced back at the bathroom door hearing the sound of the shower switch off.
"I'll be right there, don't do anything stupid," She warned quickly before yanking open her drawers and grabbing any clothes she could find.
Brian exited the bathroom, towel wrapped around his waist to find Olivia scattering around the room, jerking her dark jeans up over her tanned legs.
"What's up?"
Olivia looked at him with panic "Cragen just called…" the worried words fell from her mouth hastily as she struggled to clasp the bra behind her back.
"Liv…"
"Was Cragen on a hit list?"
Brian gave her a confused look as he pulled his own jeans on over his boxers "What kind of hit list?"
"Any list Bri! A list, did Ganzel have it out for Cragen in some way?" She tugged her white shirt over her head and grabbed her cell phone, pushing it into her pocket before pulling on her cardigan.
"Liv, What's going on?"
"Cragen's about to be arrested" She stood still, staring into his confused face
"What for?" He as moved to her side, his hands on her shoulders.
"I don't know if I should be talking to you about this" She whispered, Cragen knew it was Carissa in his bed, Olivia knew Brian and Carissa had a thing, about how strong his feelings for Carissa were she had no idea, surely they couldn't be that strong if he'd spent the last week fucking her senseless.
"You said his name came up on a wiretap…" Olivia pushed, "Bri, is Cragen a target?"
