Talk about the story taking you over. This chapter is LOOONG!!!

I have to say a big Thank You to everyone out there reading and reviewing, you guys ROCK!!

DISCLAIMER: I woke up this morning, a year older, but Elliot wasn't on my doorstep so apparently Dick Wolf missed the memo that I wanted him for my birthday. Which means I don't own it. As for the Disney Cruise lines, nope, not mine either.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apparently someone aboard the Disney Magic had a terrible sense of humor. 6:32 in the morning and the phone was ringing. Since Olivia was currently the closest to it she detangled enough of herself from Elliot to answer it.

"Hello." She managed to get out while still mostly asleep.

"Mrs. Stabler?"

"Yeah, sure."

"This is Nick, your travel coordinator. Just calling to remind you that we have your family reserved for our character breakfast at 9:30 today."

"Mmm…kay. Bye." She hung up and flopped back over on Elliot's chest.

Suddenly, about 20 seconds later it hit her just what the call was about. She sat up in bed immediately, waking Elliot up in the process.

"Livvie, what's wrong Baby?" He asked groggily.

"Some Nick guy called saying we have a character breakfast this morning." She mumbled.

Elliot just laughed.

"Shut up Stabler. Why'd you schedule a character breakfast anyway?" Olivia was thoroughly irritated by this.

He pulled her down into his arms. "I didn't schedule it. Maybe one of the kids did?"

"Well, whatever. It's at 9:30 so you'd better get the kids up and moving. I'm sure at least one of them will be over to use the shower." She got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom.

While Olivia took her shower Elliot called over to the kids' room to wake them up. When he had Lizzie on the line he asked if anyone had made the reservation. None of them had, or needed to.

Getting out of the shower Olivia took her sweet little ole time walking over to the closet to find clothes.

"Hey Liv, why don't you wear that?" Elliot asked pointing at her wrapped only in a towel.

"Friends El. Just friends." She reminded him. Not that she agreed with it. Secretly she'd been thrilled when Nick had called her Mrs. Stabler.

Sensing that it would be in his best interest to leave before he was taunted anymore by her standing there in just a towel, Elliot headed for the shower.

By the time 9am came everyone was showered, dressed, and hanging out in Elliot and Olivia's stateroom. Kathleen had just come out of the bathroom and was crossing through the bedroom.

"Hey Dad? How come only one bed looks slept in?" She giggled.

"Umm…Liv made her bed this morning and I didn't?" He told her, more as a question than anything.

"Gosh Liv, you're good at that. Even the pillows look untouched." She winked at her sisters.

Needing a subject change Olivia cleared her throat. "Isn't it time to leave?"

"Yes, I think it is." Elliot said, trying to help out.

They all left the room to head for breakfast.

"So whose idea was this?" Olivia grumbled.

"No one's idea. Everyone on a 7-day or longer cruise has one. Mandatory." Lizzie told her.

"Great."

Elliot stopped walking. "Guys, can you take the stairs up?"

"Sure Dad." They all replied, heading down the hallway in the opposite direction towards the stairs.

"Olivia, I need to talk to you in the elevator." He pulled her in with him.

"Yes?" She rolled her eyes.

"Tough this out for me and I swear I'll make it up to you tonight." He pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead.

"Okay. Fine. But I'm not going to enjoy it."

He chuckled. "I'd expect nothing less from you Benson."

The two got to the restaurant and met the kids out front. Elliot went up and gave the hostess his name. A few minutes later they were seated. Throughout the meal different characters took turns coming to each table. Everyone just smiled and pretended to be enjoying it. Everyone that is except Olivia. Mickey Mouse was the first character at their table and the girls made the best of it, taking pictures of each other with him.

Elliot turned his head and looked at Olivia. It was very clear she didn't want to be there. He slipped his left hand down under the table and onto her right thigh.

"Remember what I said Livvie." He leaned over and whispered to her as he crept his hand closer to the inside of her thigh.

From then on when each character came over she had their waiter take a picture of the six of them with the character. They ended up with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Chip, and Dale.

When breakfast was over they all went back up to their rooms to get ready for their day. Olivia changed into a tank top and shorts to go head up to the Wide World of Sports Deck with Dickie. Lizzie was going back up to The Stack while the other two girls went running with Elliot.

Up on the sports deck Dickie and Olivia were shooting hoops.

"So, are you having fun so far?" Olivia asked as she missed the basket.

"Yeah. I'm sure it will get more fun when we start going to the islands though." He sunk a basket. "What about you?"

"It's only been a couple of days, but yeah. More than I thought when I saw it was a Disney Cruise." She laughed, sinking her own basket too.

The two continued playing basketball for the next hour. They then decided to go down to Deck 9 to Quarter Masters, the ship's arcade. Olivia couldn't remember the last time she had been to an arcade. Even so, there she was watching Dickie play Dance Dance Revolution and having a blast.

"C'mon Liv, you have to try this game!"

She walked over closer. "Let me watch one more time, okay? Then I'll try."

She watched how he was playing the game and after a minute or two stepped up to take her turn. She had made it three levels before getting a game over.

Another hour later and they were both ready to leave the arcade.

"Hey Liv, wanna go hit the pool before lunch?" Dickie asked as they walked out of the arcade.

"Sure. We need to go back down to change first though."

They walked down the hallway to the stairs and went down one level to their rooms to change. Ten minutes later they were off to the pool where they spent another hour swimming.

Lunchtime came and they all met at Topsider Buffet to eat together.

"So what'd you and Liv do today Dickie?" Elliot asked as they all sat down to eat.

"We played basketball for a while. Then we went to the arcade where I taught Liv how to play Dance Dance Revolution. After that we went to the pool."

Elliot leaned over and whispered in Olivia's ear. "Thanks again."

"No problem." She whispered back. Then she reached her hand down under the table and began tracing circles on his thigh.

As they all finished lunch they headed off in separate directions. Lizzie and Dickie to The Stack, Maureen and Kathleen to lay by the pool, and Elliot and Olivia headed up to their room.

"You think Don will let us institute an afternoon nap when we get back?" Olivia asked as they crawled into bed.

"I am definitely getting too used to this." He said as he slipped his arms around her.

"El?"

"Yeah Baby?"

"What are we doing here?" She asked, confused as hell.

"Laying in bed?" Elliot wasn't sure exactly what she was getting at.

"No, I mean this thing with us. What are we doing?"

"I guess I still don't get it."

"You're such a guy sometimes." She laughed. "What's going on with us? We're flirting about my shorts, sharing a bed at night, napping together everyday, feeling each other's legs up. What are we doing here?"

"I can't speak for you, and for fear of facing the business end of your Glock I would never try to." She smacked him on the arm that was around her waist. "Myself, I'm just acting on feelings I've had for years. Ones I've always prayed you'd return."

She tipped her head up and kissed him tentatively on the lips. "Feelings, huh?"

"Yes, feelings." He captured her lips, with much more love and passion than their last kiss.

Pulling back for a second to catch his breath Elliot grinned at Olivia and then dove back into their kiss. Running his tongue along her bottom lip he silently requested entrance to her mouth. Granting his wish she opened her mouth enough for him to slip his tongue in. Their tongues met and continued warring for dominance.

Soon hands were roaming everywhere. Olivia had already taken off Elliot's shirt. He had his hands on the hem of hers when she went to unbutton his shorts. Abruptly he pulled his hands away and stopped kissing her. Thinking she'd done something wrong, moved too fast, Olivia immediately started apologizing.

"El, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I just though…well, never mind what I thought. I'm sorry." She started getting up.

"Stay here. Please. Livvie, Baby, you have nothing to be sorry for. God, I love you so much right now it's killing me to stop. But you deserve more." He had pulled her back into his arms and was placing feather soft kisses on her bare shoulders.

"What did you just say?" She figured she must have heard him wrong.

"You deserve more. So much more."

"No, before that."

He thought back on what he'd said. 'Shit!' He hadn't realized he'd said that out loud. Looking deep into her dark mocha eyes he repeated himself.

"I said, I love you. So much." His gaze never leaving hers. She needed to know he truly meant it.

"I love you too El." She told him, her eyes conveying to him just how deeply she was in love with him.

"Let me take you out. Tonight for dinner." He asked, almost begging.

"We're on a boat in the middle of the ocean. How are you going to take me out?"

"You trust me, right?"

"You know I do El. Every day of my life I trust you with everything I am." She laced her fingers with his.

"Go to sleep now. When you wake up I'm going to go take my clothes and head to the kids' room. You, Beautiful, are going to stay here and get ready. There's a dress bag in the back of the closet. Wear what's in it. Okay?"

"El, what did you do?" She couldn't believe he'd gone to so much trouble.

"Maur picked it out. She swore not to tell the other kids. I made dinner plans. We tell the kids whatever whenever." He kissed her again.

"Okay. Sounds good. Now though I just want you to hold me while we take a nap."

"Done."

The two drifted off to sleep, Elliot's arms wrapped around Olivia as she closed her hands over his.

4pm on the dot Elliot woke up. After glancing at the clock he realized he'd better wake Olivia up, their reservation was for 6pm.

"Livvie, Baby, I need you to wake up now." He whispered as he began kissing and sucking near her ear.

"Mmm…I don't wanna get up. Too much fun right where I am." She slid her hand around his hip and squeezed his ass.

"Me too." He moaned. "But our reservation is in a little under two hours and I've heard you like taking your time getting ready to go out."

"Okay, okay." She reluctantly got up out of bed.

"I'll see you soon." Elliot said, kissing her goodbye and grabbing his clothes then leaving.

Slipping her clothes off and walking into the bathroom, Olivia couldn't help but smile like a fool thinking about actually going on a date with Elliot after so many years of loving him in secret. She climbed in the shower and let the hot water run down her body. After washing her hair and body she decided she had time for a nice relaxing bubble bath. She walked out to her suitcase to grab some bubble bath, filled the tub, and crawled in to soak a bit.

As she sat reveling in the scent of lavender she saw her phone flash that she had a text message.

Miss you already. Can't wait to see you.

She grinned. God, she'd die if Fin and Munch saw her now, being all girly and swooning over a text message. She replied to him quick before getting out of the tub.

Miss you too. Soon.

She got dried off, lotioned up, and slipped on her red lace thong and matching bra. After brushing her teeth, doing her hair, and swiping some make up on Olivia realized she should probably take her dress out and make sure it fit. Pulling it out of the dress bag she decided she owed Maureen big time. The dress was gorgeous. It was red, cut to show off just enough cleavage, spaghetti straps, it fell just about mid-calf with a slit up the right side showing off a scandalous amount of leg. Speaking of scandalous, there was no back. Well there went the bra.

Slipping her new dress on Olivia found it fit like a glove, hugging her curves just perfectly. She put on the red 4-inch heels Maureen had picked out to match and decided she was ready.

5:40pm on the dot there was a knock at the door. She opened it and there was Elliot in a black Armani suit and red tie. In his hand a bouquet of roses and lilies. He handed them to her and kissed her on the cheek.

"You look gorgeous Liv." He told her. As she turned around to take the flowers over to the bathroom sink he stopped breathing. "Oh. My. God." He muttered.

She walked back over to him and slipped her arms around his neck. "You like?" She winked at him.

"Baby, we'd better leave or we're never going to make it to dinner with you looking like that." He said, taking her hand.

The two walked hand in hand down the hallway to the elevator which they took up to Deck 10 then walked to an elegant restaurant called Palo.

Meanwhile, one deck down in Pinocchio's Pizzeria the four Stabler kids sat discussing the missing parties at the dinner table.

"Spill Maur. I know you know something."

"Even if I did Lizzie, I wouldn't tell." She smirked.

"We deserve to know." Dickie told her.

"He's right Maur." Kathleen added her two cents.

Maureen opened her mouth to say something then stopped. She did this two or three times before she broke. She'd promised her dad she wouldn't say anything. But really what harm would it be giving out a little information.

"They're at dinner together. That's all I'm saying." She told them.

Up on Deck 10 Elliot and Olivia sat in the midst of a romantic candle lit dinner. They had both ordered their food and were sipping wine while they waited. Elliot was holding her hand across the table while she was running her bare foot up under his pant leg. When their food was brought over they began to eat, picking food off each other's plate like they normally did.

"Even on a date it doesn't end, huh?" Elliot chuckled.

"What?" She asked as she stabbed a piece of ziti from his plate.

"That. The food thing." He pointed to her fork.

She laughed. "Just goes to show you, even Olivia and Elliot can't entirely break away from Benson and Stabler."

"It has been great leaving them behind the past few days though."

"I totally agree with you there." She said.

The two of them finished up their meals and left the restaurant. They walked to the elevator and took it down two levels to Deck 8 and their stateroom.

Barely making it in the door Elliot pressed Olivia up against the door and claimed her mouth with his own.

"I have been wanting to do that since I came to pick you up."

"You know what I've been wanting to do all night?" She teased.

"What?"

"This."

She loosened his tie and removed it from his neck. Pushing his suit jacket down off of him she starting kissing him. When his jacket was off she moved to undoing the buttons on his dress shirt and slid that off him as well.

Never breaking their kiss Elliot slid the straps over her dress down exposing her breasts to him.

"So perfect." He palmed them both, one in each hand.

Sliding her dress the rest of the way off he had Olivia standing there in just her red lace thong and her 4-inch heels.

"El, bedroom." She said as she reached for his waist band and turned to pull him towards the bedroom.

She toed out of her shoes, then undid his pant, leaving him only in his boxers as she pushed him onto their bed. He grabbed her hand pulling her down on top of him. Bare chest to bare chest they resumed their kissing. He started trailing kisses down her neck. Then across her collarbone, down over her left should and arm before flipping so he was on top of her and lavishing the same attention on the right side of her.

"Tonight is all about you Livvie. All about you seeing my love for you." He told her as he started kissing down to the valley between her breasts.

She ran her hands through his closely cropped hair as he kissed each breast, one at a time everywhere but her nipples before finally placing one kiss on each. He trailed kisses down her stomach, dipping his tongue in her belly button before continuing lower.

He skipped over the lace covered treasure and resumed kissing her hips, then her thighs working his way to her inner thighs. When he was done he continued down to her knees, her calves and shins, and finally the tops of her feet.

She pulled his head back up to hers and kissing him again, as passionately as she could. He broke the kiss and reached down to rest his hands on the waist band of her panties. Looking into her eyes for permission to continue he slid them off her finally exposing her fully.

Elliot moved down her body kissing the smooth bare skin that had been previously covered. He sought out her clit and began sucking and nibbling at it, causing her to buck her hips up. He placed one hand on her stomach holding her down, but not forcefully.

"Relax Livvie. Just relax Baby and feel my love." He told her, his voice humming against her bringing her closer to the edge.

"El, Honey, I'm gonna cum!"

"Go ahead. I'll catch you. I'm always here for you."

With that she let herself fall over the edge as he licked up her juices. When she began to calm down again he captured her lips, allowing her to taste herself. Flipping them over and sliding her hands down his body she walked her fingers down his happy trail and slipped them just under the waist band of his boxers.

Silently gaining his okay, she slid them off freeing his long, thick, hard cock. She spread the bubble of pre-cum already there across his tip and then replaced her finger with her tongue. Kissing the tip she then slid her lips over the head of his penis and began taking him in her mouth. Inch by glorious inch until she was deep throating him. Sliding her mouth and tongue up and down his shaft she was driving him wild.

"Keep that up Livvie and I won't last much longer." He moaned.

"That's find with me. I want to taste you." She told him before she lightly scraped her teeth up and down the underside of his shaft.

She continued her ministration a few more seconds before she brought him to his climax, exploding in her mouth as she swallowed every drop he had to offer. When she was done he brought his lips to hers, again claiming her as his own.

Within a few minutes Elliot, again on top, was ready to rumble again. Positioning himself at her entrance he looked down at Olivia and deep into her eyes.

"I love you, my Livvie. Always." He told her as he slid into her slowly.

"I…oh…I love you too. Mmmm…you feel so good in me." She replied.

He pulled most of the way out of her, then thrust back in her deeply. They carried on this timeless dance, with their thrusting meeting in sync. Partners in every sense of the word now. Each taking turns being in control over and over again. He flipped them over and she rode him to her first orgasm moving her hips up and down over him until she exploded. Flipping them back over yet again, he pounded her g-spot making her call out to God, Jesus, and many other higher powers.

"Mmm…El! Deeper Honey." She cried out causing him to lift her legs up over his shoulders so he could thrust into her even deeper.

"Baby, I'm so close!" He called out.

"Me too Sweetheart. Me too."

After a few more thrusts he had her cumming, screaming his name.

"ELL!!!"

Her walls tightening and clamping down around him was all it took and he was spilling his seed deep within her.

"Mmm…Livvie!" He called out as he fell to ecstasy.

As their bodies both stilled he pulled out of her, much to her dismay, and took her in his arms spooning with her. Glancing at the clock he noticed they didn't have too much time to sleep for the night. He whispered an I love you and kissed her at the base of her neck before they both drifted off to sleep for the night. Both totally exhausted for their long night of lovemaking.
