"So...where are we going?" Olivia asked as she teasingly walked her fingers up and down Rafael's thigh. He wanted to grab her hand and stop her, but he also feared that she'd get the wrong idea. He loved the attention she was giving him and her light mood, but he also knew that this was not typical of Olivia Benson. The taxi driver must have been curious too, because he gave Rafael a questioning look in the mirror. The original plan was to go out for drinks, which sounded like a bad idea the more he thought about it. He had told the taxi driver the address of a place he liked to go when he had some free time.

"How does dancing sound?"

"Ooohhh! I love to dance! Dancing sounds great Rafi!" She leaned over and kissed his cheek, only a centimeter or so away from his lips. He wanted to run his fingers through her hair and hold her still while he kissed the daylights out of her. Unfortunately, they weren't alone. However, he did tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear, making her giggle.

"This place is awesome" Olivia said loudly, trying to speak loud enough to be heard over the music.

"I love it here. Great way to forget the stress of the week". He reached out for hand, interlacing their fingers. He lead her to the dance floor just as a slower song came on.

"May I have this dance?" He asked, already knowing the answer.

"Of course you can".She gracefully lifted her free hand to rest on his shoulder while he put his arm around her waist. They quickly fell in to beat, lazily swaying to the song. He smiled when she rested her forehead against his. "This is nice" He stated.

"Mhmmm" She hummed. "This is nice...but I personally like things a little faster" She whispered hotly in his ear. He couldn't suppress his groan of approval. That definitely sounded like an Olivia line.

"Be careful Lieutenant. I haven't even kissed you yet".

"About that-"

He cut her off with his lips, finally pressing them against hers.

"That was...I can't even find a word for it" She sighed once they separated. An upbeat song started to play and a wicked smile formed on her face. "Let's see your moves Rafi". She turned around, purposefully moving close enough to him so that her backside was pressed against him. Her hips began to move, grinding herself against him. He had seen plenty of the younger couples move like this on the dance floor, but never in a million years did he expect the captain of the special victims unit to dance in such a way.

"I don't believe that's an objection you're raising there" She giggled. Her hand slowly traveled to the back of his neck, gently pulling him in for a kiss. Her teeth sunk into his lower lip, letting him know what mood she was in now.

"You'll be the death of me Benson...But what a way to go".

They danced to several more songs before needing a break. Olivia insisted on heading over to the bar area, claiming that one drink wouldn't hurt anyone. It was hard to argue with her when she added an extra sway to her hips.

"I'll have a pink panty dropper" Olivia ordered, looking directly at Rafael.

"I'll just have water" He managed to choke out.

"What's the matter Rafi?" She asked as she moved off her barstool and into his lap. "Are you a little hot?"

The bartender placed their drinks in front of them and winked at Rafael. She kissed his temple before taking a sip of her drink.

"When are you getting Noah?" Rafael asked as he walked her up to her apartment.

" is keeping him until tomorrow evening so Lucy can have a day off".She stopped in front of her door and turned to face him. "Want to come in?"

How could he say no to that offer?

"Sure".

She unlocked the door and let him walk in before her. He heard the door shut and felt a strong tug on his shoulder, pulling him backwards. The next thing he knew, his back was forced against the door and Olivia was pressed up against him. Her lips were on his and her hands were on his shirt, working at the buttons. He felt and heard her moan into the kiss, nearly making him shudder.

"Are you chilly Rafi?" She undid his last button, pushing his shirt off of his shoulders. She grabbed his hands, placing them on her back near the zipper of her dress. He quickly grasped it, lowering the zipper as much as he could. Her right down trailed down his body until it met its intended goal, cupping him through his pants.

"Let me warm you up".

"Liv, we can't do this". It took every ounce of his strength to turn her down, but he knew that it was the right thing to do. She wasn't in the proper state of mind, and the thought of her regretting it the next morning was unbearable.

"What? Why not?" She hadn't moved away from him, and her hands stayed in the same places.

"I don't want you to regret this". He looked down, realizing that his shirt was lying on the floor, leaving him in his under shirt. Not to mention the fact that she was still touching him through his pants…

"I would never regret this Rafi".

"You have to trust me on this one, Liv. I want you, I really do, but we can't tonight".

She let go of him, stepping back. "If I had known that I'd be spending the night alone, I would have arranged it so I could at least go get Noah".

"You don't have to be alone" He started. "We just can't go all the way tonight".

"So...you'll stay the night, but you won't sleep with me?"

"I know it's confusing now, but in the morning you'll be thanking me" He could guarantee that.

She reached out for him again, kissing him sweetly. "You are a confusing man Rafael, but at least I know that you respect me".

Rafael laid on his back, looking up at the ceiling in Olivia's bedroom. She had insisted that he sleep in the bed and not the couch. He didn't mind it, but he still felt like she was going to be pissed at him in the morning. She was fast asleep with her head pillowed on his shoulder and one of her legs resting in between his own. He smiled at the sight of her. He had never seen her so at peace. She snuggled further into him, making him chuckle.

"Go to sleep Rafi" She mumbled.

He kissed the top of her head, loving how right this felt. He could only hope that she wouldn't hold the last six hours against him.

Olivia awoke to the smell of coffee. Opening her eyes, she was met with the sight of her messy and now empty bed. Was it all a dream? No. She was sure that he-

"Good morning" Rafael greeted from the doorway of her bedroom. She pushed herself up into a sitting position, resting her back against the headboard. He handed her a mug and sat down next to her. Had he slept in his suit all night?

"Do you remember last night?" He asked immediately.

"Yeah...What the hell happened to me?"

"I don't know actually. I did my best to observe you, but it was challenging".

"I promise you, I've never been such a creep before".

"That's reassuring, Liv. Thanks".

She chuckled and took a sip of her coffee. "I have no clue what made me so loopy though. Yesterday was just another normal day. I came home, snacked on some cookies, picked out my

dress, got ready, and then you were here".

"Did you drink at all before I picked you up?"

She shook her head. "All I know is that I felt really good yesterday".

"When did you start feeling good?" He questioned, clearly on to something.

"After I ate some of the cookies". She looked at him with wide eyes. "I ate all of the cookies I had left".

"You don't think…"

"There was something in the cookies".

AN: You knew, and now they know. So what now?
