"If I won the lotto I would live on an island very far from here" Olivia softly answered as Elliott continued to toss grapes in the air before landing in his mouth, which they always seemed to have landed in.
"What would you do without the crime, the city and psychos?" Elliott said as he tried to throw a grape down her shirt before she grabbed it and ate it.
"I would be too busy napping on the beach to think about it all." She laughed, he laughed to be polite but he knew that wasn't what she really wanted. All Olivia did was constantly over analyze and care about everything and everyone before herself.
"How about if you could bring one person with you and you had no clothes, no food, nothing…you just had to make a life there…what would you do?" He asked her as he handed her over the large empty orange bowl filled with grape stems. "I would bring Munch, he would be my entertainment and convince me that it is all a conspiracy surrounded by the Bermuda Triangle", Olivia laughed but in all seriousness she had no one else but him to bring with her even if it was ever a reality.
"What about me?" He said smiling at her in a way that made the heat rise to her face and her palms slightly clammy. "I would bring you along to fight with, who else would argue with me? The gorillas wont." She smiled back at him trying to crack a pathetic joke, it is what they both did to cushion the blow of a serious question…they had a smart ass remark for every serious statement; they had no other way to handle daily life.
"Smart ass, I'd bring you…" He said standing up and walking over to the other side of the bed to get a look out the large bay window.
She smiled at him and watched his every movement until she decided to get up and put away the bowl and grab beer from her fridge for the both of them. He watched her leave the room and continued to daze out of the window.
Once Olivia got to the kitchen she placed the bowl down and leaned her head against the refrigerator. What was she doing? What were they doing? And why did this feel so good.
Not once did she feel like she was going down a dead end road, never being worthy of true happiness…she felt as normal as she was convinced she was ever going to get. This is what younger people do in the awkward beginning stages of their relationship, get high and play truth or dare and in many ways that was exactly what they were playing.
She took beer out of her fridge and walked over to her room slowly to find Elliott still at the window but this time with a joint in his hand as he continued to put all of his effort into lighting it. Without saying a word she nudged him with her hip and motioned for him to take the beers out of her arms and took the joint out of his hand.
"El, grow up!" Olivia said as she shot him a dirty look and shook her head. She almost convinced him that she was half serious until she burst out laughing. "I have to grow up? Coming from giggles the clown", he handed her the lighter and just watched her laugh. Elliott never considered himself to be an overly comedic person, sure he admitted that he could be witty in his own sarcastic dry cop way but he liked how she laughed so hard that no noise came out when she was with him that night.
"Mission accomplished, Inspector Gadget! Remember him? That is going to be your new name from this moment out!" She exclaimed as if she discovered a scientific breakthrough as she exhaled and passed it over to him
"Hey you are the one with the extensive battery collection in your night stand so you can fit the name perfectly, Liv. I'm not dumb, I saw your collection when I was looking for the lighter!" he chuckled and watched her cheeks blush. "I have a lot of appliances; you my friend need to get laid and get your mind out of the gutter!" She laughed and looked out the window in the opposite direction as him.
There it was, the rarely present silence back again that filled the room making another appearance. They never ran out of words but this time there was something they both needed to experience and neither one of them could swallow their fear and pride long enough to be in the open with whatever it was.
Both of them were still looking out her window until he inhaled one last time before placing his hands on her hips to face him. The smile on her face faded quickly once she saw how close they actually were, nothing was said but her eyes questioned his intentions. He was just as nervous as her perhaps even more but what Elliott wanted he got and this was something too good to get away.
His eyes locked on her eyes quickly until he looked down at her lips and moved forward to part her mouth. Their lips touched softly as if it wasn't even really happening. Elliott blew smoke into her mouth and softly let his tongue barely touch the tip of her tongue.
That was her sexiest kiss to date, she didn't even know if it qualified as a kiss or he was doing it to be humorous but it was perfect, whatever it was.
"Big Red gum, that's it."
"What?" She said quietly still wondering what the hell he was trying to pull.
"You taste like Big Red gum" he mumbled still looking at her lips, "yeah and you are crazy", was all Olivia could reply. She wasn't even sure why she was restraining herself, for all she knew he could have been joking around but she knew that she wanted to explore this.
"Crazy huh?" He said with his hands still on her hips and her breasts still no more than a couple inches away from his muscular chest.
She nodded and felt her knees instantly weaken.
He carelessly tossed the lit joint into the ashtray and pushed her up against her wall gently but with assertiveness.
Elliott stared at her for what seemed to be ages until she leaned forward to kiss him, she had everything to lose and all the more reason for her to yearn it so badly.
She would have never expected it to feel like this, he couldn't remember the last time a simple kiss felt so erotic and exciting. This was new forbidden territory that they couldn't wait to cross with the sexual tension mounting.
He tasted like Elliott, his specific taste was a mixture of grapes and fresh summer air.
Olivia moaned into his mouth as his tongue continued to tease hers with passion. His hands moved to the side of her face. He was moving her hair out of her face and to twist a lock of hair between his fingers then to rest on the small of her back. Every touch seemed magnified and stimulated her from the inside out. He needed contact with her body, so very desperately and she felt his evident excitement against her cotton shorts.
Her mind never stopped once, she was trying to savour his taste, his smell and how his hard body felt against hers. He turned her to mush and she knew she had little self control left in her system.
They were both high, running off natural attraction and instinct along with enough sexual tension to make anyone uncomfortable.
Elliott softly whispered her name as his hands palmed her ass and made a trail of kisses down her neck. Elliott was aroused as was she but it was taunting and scary that they had this type of connection after years of proper friendship.
She pushed him back onto her bed and decided not to fight what was inside of her. Elliott just laid back and licked his lips before closing his eyes as Olivia positioned herself right against his growing erection. She straddled him and just looked down at him, his eyes immediately opened and a thin smile came across his lips, she returned the smile and leaned down to kiss him softly to see if he still tasted and felt as incredible as the first instant and not a single thing changed.
Elliott took hold of her hips and continued to give her the control over the situation, he wanted her in the most desperate and passionate way but didn't want it to end on a sour note. It was only his sweats and her thin shorts in between their bodies and Olivia was well aware of that as she rolled off of him and pulled him over top of her. The heat that was now invading each others personal space was suffocating them and Elliott began to feel a soft sweat build on his brow as she continued to welcome his mouth on her skin.
Out of breath and more sexually charged by a kiss with Olivia then love making with the woman he once called his wife, he knew that this was real chemistry at its finest. She was kissing away his pain and with every sigh from her it only excited him more. Maybe they were just friends or even old co-workers but at this moment she was the most attractive woman he has ever set eyes on and that he was sure of.
Olivia raised her hips off her bed to make better contact with his body and he gently rubbed himself against her then backed off, he didn't want to be too much at once but he had never been more horny in his life.
She stopped kissing his neck and just moaned softly almost directly into his ear as his kisses trailed along her collar bone while his rather notable erection rubbed against her shorts, leaving her panties wet and her nipples erect.
He was trying so hard to be gentle and patient so he wouldn't be too overbearing but she was making it harder and harder. His hands began to explore her body as he looked into her eyes and cupped her round breasts. Her eyes followed his hands as his fingertips barely touched her visible erected nipples which caused her to close her eyes tightly.
His mouth was hot and he continued to softly bruise her neck with his tongue as his hands explored her perky breasts thru her under shirt.
Her hands remained on his back until her curiosity and sexual appetite got the best of her. She ran her hand down his chest and slid her hand down the front of his pants.
Fuck, Liv….
It was all he could say as he tried to focus on her; it was all about her…he repeated to himself as he felt her hand apply more pressure.
"El, What…what are we doing?" She moaned as her hand continued to pleasure his erection.
"I'm finding more about you…." He said as he toyed with the hem of her shirt waiting to see her in her full glory, the breasts he caught cheap glances at when she would bend over to clean her desk whenever she wore her tight black v neck shirt. He would have never in his wildest fantasies could have dreamt this up.
"Do you like what you are finding out?" She asked him knowing what he was looking at as he positioned himself in between her legs.
He nodded and lowered his head to taste her nipple thru the thin fabric of her shirt.
"Oh God, we…can't" She whispered as in a sexy more throaty voice that he hadn't heard till tonight. Her hands were now on his chest and he moved back up to kiss her lips one last time.
"I am sorry…I thought you were…" He began to say until he was at a loss for words. It all rushed to his brain, the kisses, the touching and soft petting. It really happened.
"I am…God, this is scary. El, I can't mess this up." She said as she pushed the hair out of her face.
He nodded and rolled off of her and prayed that his erection would go down just as fast as it came.
She felt bad for leading him on with her hand practically inside of his pants but things were too out of control, she needed control but this time Elliott actually did control her mind and body unlike ever before.
"It's been a really long time for me, I mean a real long time." Olivia said as she went onto her side and moved closer to his body. She was praying that he didn't hate her or regret what was started.
"For what?"
"I haven't been intimate with anyone in, well let's just say I haven't had sex in a really long time and I don't want this to be an awkward thing", She said embarrassed yet completely honest.
"Who says I wanted to have sex with you?" He said turning over to face her. She just looked down in between their bodies and playfully raised her eyebrow to the irony of the situation.
"What do you want then?" She playfully asked him.
"Just to make you feel good" He said as she returned her mouth to his and welcomed his hands on her body again.
