Ch. 7
"When it comes you, oh the damage I could do. It's always your favorite sins, that do you in" — "You and Tequila" Berg/Carter
Paperwork hell.
Olivia was certain she had spent the last week in paperwork hell.
It had been worse than all the times she had been sentenced to desk duty before.
This may have been a slight dramatic reaction to watching everyone come and go out of the squad room, while her ass made a permanent imprint on her desk chair.
A week had gone by and the bruises on her face and body had now turned several shades of yellow, easily concealed by makeup and long sleeves.
She was fine, impatient, and fine.
She had begged Cragen to let her off of desk duty.
No go.
Paperwork hell.
"Burned your retinas yet?" Amaro teased, gathering his things from his desk.
"Don't joke, I think it happened about an hour ago."
"How about I buy you a couple of beers?" He said watching her squirm. "It's quittin' time Benson."
"You buyin' beers?" Amanda asked, as she strolled in the squad room.
"Looks like I am."
"Come on Liv!' Amanda prodded.
The truth was Olivia couldn't wait to get out of that chair and really could use a beer.
But she also thought of Alex.
She hadn't been able to see her any this week except in passing in the squad room.
Alex had been in court all week and when she wasn't, she was buried in prep work.
"You goin'?" Nick asked again.
"Yeah, yeah I'm going," Olivia said pulling herself away from her desk.
"I'll catch up with you guys in a sec. I want to change." She said, grabbing her phone and then making her way to the locker room.
Olivia checked to see if she was alone…
She pulled out her phone, listening to the first ring.
"Hey you."
Already a smile on the other end of the line.
"Hi there."
Olivia too, had a smile instantly cover her face.
"I was just checking to see how you were? See how your day was."
"I'm fine, tired. Ready for a break."
"You think you'll have to work too late?"
"Hopefully not too late, but I'll be here for a while..."
"The guys ask me to go have a few beers and I figured you were working…"
"When I finally get out of here tonight, I'm probably going to just go home and soak in the tub. You go, have a great time!" Alex said sincerely.
"The tub huh? The beer doesn't sound so appealing." Olivia joked.
"Ha! Liv, you've had a long week too. You deserve to get out."
"So I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Of course you will!" Alex said happily.
"Have a good night, hope you get to that tub soon enough."
"Thanks babe, have fun."
Olivia hung up the phone and for a moment she sat there reveling in Alex Cabot.
She then quickly pulled her hair out of the ponytail she had sported most of the day and she changed in to a pair of jeans she left in her locker.
It made her feel more human and less as Alex called it, a crime fighter.
She hated she wouldn't spend the evening with Alex, but she would see her tomorrow. Even as soon as breakfast if Olivia could arrange it.
The bar was already crowded, but it was to be expected for a Friday night.
Olivia followed Nick to a table not too far from the bar.
Everyone had gathered, already raring to go in to the weekend.
And of course he was here.
He was sitting next to Munch and of course the only seats left open were next to him.
No chance Amaro would snuggle up to him.
"There she is." He said with a grin.
Ok, it was a sexy, little grin.
But still Olivia felt a little uneasy and uncontrollable with him there.
Track record.
She and Cassidy's track record.
"Can I get a round of shots?" Cassidy said to the waitress over his shoulder. "Tequila."
Along with the shots, everyone ordered their drinks.
It was crowded, chaotic.
A good time.
"No one at the table noticed Cassidy repeatedly whisper dirty little things in to Olivia's ear. No one noticed how he kept his thigh melded in to hers, and how he repeatedly made sure he touched her in all of the appropriately inappropriate ways.
Another shot, another drink.
More crowded, more chaotic.
Olivia caught herself leaning in closer and closer.
His hands on her, she was leaning in closer.
Fuck.
"Dance with me." Cassidy said sliding his hand up the inside of her thigh.
"What? No."
"Come on, one little dance."
"You don't know the meaning of one little dance." Olivia teased.
Cassidy stood, not taking "no" for an answer. He reached out his hand to her.
Amanda's attention turned, suddenly noticed what was transpiring across the table from her.
She watched as Cassidy looked at Olivia intently, as Olivia did him.
Olivia stood taking Cassidy's hand not saying a word.
Amanda's eyes followed the two of them to the far corner of the dance floor.
She watched as Cassidy reached, pushing his hands under Olivia's shirt to her bare skin of her lower back.
It was obvious he had done this before; Olivia didn't seem stunned by the way he touched her so intimately.
So recklessly.
He pulled Olivia against him, and Amanda tried to will herself to look away.
She couldn't.
Maybe it was the beer; maybe this was just too damn good of a show.
His hands ran down Olivia's backside, cupping her ass as they swayed back and forth. Cassidy's lips reached for her neck.
Amanda's eyes grew wide. Holy shit, why was no one catching this but her?
Up her backside, back under her shirt, his hands roaming further and further. Cassidy was doing everything but having sex with Olivia on the dance floor.
And she didn't seem to mind.
The song ended, she watched as both stood there for a moment.
Cassidy backed Olivia in to the nearest wall.
Cassidy was a big guy and even when Olivia wore heels he still had enough height and size on her to make her feel consumed by him.
Amanda felt her neck stretching and she leaned over a bit further.
There were still these intense stares between them, until the moment their lips crashed in to the others.
Recklessly.
This was definitely a side of Olivia, Amanda didn't know. And wasn't she just getting over David Hayden? This encounter didn't look new.
And why was no one seeing this but her?
Amanda watched as Olivia quickly took a step back from their kiss. She placed the palms of her hands at Cassidy's chest.
Distance.
She watched as they exchanged a few words…
"One dance." Olivia reminded.
"Lets get out of here." Cassidy said placing his hands over Olivia's.
God the heat of his body.
Fuck
"I shouldn't… I can't… not tonight ok? Already too drunk…"
A good enough excuse.
She couldn't go home with him.
She had, had too much to drink.
And there was Alex.
It wasn't that she wasn't turned on.
It wasn't that she couldn't leave right now, fuck him…
She could.
But Alex.
She really wanted to go home to Alex, not with Brian Cassidy.
Fuck.
"Go back, get another beer. I'll be right back ok." Olivia said leaving him standing there, as she headed towards the ladies room.
Olivia gave him no choice.
You could tell Cassidy had to gather himself before he walked back to the table.
Amanda stood up leaving the table before Cassidy made it back.
She had already been too intrusive, but now she had to make sure Olivia was ok.
She made her way to the bathroom.
By then Olivia was standing in front of the sink, trying to focus on her own reflection.
"Rollins." Olivia said acknowledging her presents.
"Hey… you ok?"
"Yeah… just a little… drunk." Olivia said squeezing her eyes shut and then open again.
"I didn't know you and Cassidy were so um, close."
Olivia looked at Amanda and let out a breathy laugh.
"We're not."
"Really?"
Olivia took a deep breath, trying to focus again.
Amanda had seen them.
"We have… Cassidy and I are complicated. Actually… its not complicated at all."
"Just sex?"
Again, the breathy laugh.
She got it.
Nail on head.
"Yeah, just sex."
"Well he clearly wanted you. Not that I meant to see what I saw."
"Did anyone else…"
"No, only in my line of vision. Everyone else was caught up in their own bullshitting."
Olivia stood up straight, looking in the mirror one last time.
"Liv are you sure you're ok?"
Amanda could tell something wasn't right.
She was thinking.
"I just need go home before I do something I regret. I have this uncanny ability to find a way to mess up anything that is going good in my life..."
Amanda understood.
Olivia and Amanda made their way back to the table.
"What are women doing in that bathroom anyway?" Amaro drunkenly questioned to Olivia and Amanda.
"Plotting." Was all Amada said, as she grinned to Olivia.
Olivia smiled, as they both concealed the conversation they shared in the bathroom.
"Ok guys I'm calling it a night…"
"Oh come on Liv!" Munch grumbled.
"You all make sure you get home ok." Olivia said finding her purse.
"I'll walk you out." Cassidy said, as he started to get up.
"No I'm just catching a cab, I'll be fine. Stay, have a good night ok." She said smiling at him.
She smiled to keep him seated; she smiled at him for being proud of herself for not going home with him.
Olivia made it outside the bar on to the still crowded street.
She held out her arm for the next cab.
Split second decision.
It was late.
She was certifiably drunk.
She knew Alex was tired, probably asleep by now.
But she wanted to go to Alex.
"Where to?"
Split second.
Olivia, spouted Alex's address…
Olivia stepped off the elevator on Alex's floor. A few steps and Olivia was knocking quietly as she could against her front door.
A minute later Alex opened the door, still tightening her robe around her waist.
"Liv?"
Olivia was biting her lip, still a bit unsure if she should have just showed up at Alex's so late.
"What are you doing here?"
"Were you asleep?"
"No, reading… come in here," Alex said pulling Olivia inside by the hand.
"I had too much to drink… too fast." Olivia confessed.
"You ok?"
"Yeah sobering… I just didn't want to go home."
"So you came to me?" Alex said, sparking a grin.
"I wanted to come to you so badly."
Another confession.
Alex gave Olivia a quick kiss before she helped pull Olivia's jacket from her shoulders and threw it over the back of the couch.
"You hungry? I know you probably haven't eaten."
"Not for food." Olivia said pointedly.
Alex grinned again.
"Really, well let me see if I can help you with that." Alex said before crashing her lips against Olivia's.
"It's been such a long week." Olivia breathed against Alex's lips.
"Ridiculously long."
"Too long to not see you naked." Olivia grinned.
"Too long to not get you naked!" Alex sparred.
"I want you. God, I just want you." Olivia said pressing Alex's legs to the back of the couch.
Alex's robe was gone quickly and the white v-neck shirt underneath only stood as a barrier for seconds.
Underwear
Just standing there in her underwear.
Polka dots.
Olivia hands roamed and touched, her mouth nipped and kissed.
"You are so beautiful and the polka dots are killing me!" Olivia grinned.
"I didn't know you were coming over!" Alex defended.
"I love em', but I want them off."
"Oh wait just a second… you have way more clothing on than I do!" Alex said as she immediately started to remedy that as Olivia tugged at her own shoes.
Shirt gone, jeans gone.
Alex ran her hand down Olivia's neck looping the gold charms with her fingers. Alex then kissed the mounds of her breasts before she released them.
Alex raised her brow.
"I love your breasts." Alex said bluntly as if they had taken her breath away.
Olivia's nipples were hard as Alex ran her fingers across them.
Alex grabbed Olivia by the hand leading her towards the bedroom.
Olivia stopped them mid hallway, unable to wait any longer.
"Please" was all Alex heard Olivia say before she was backed against the wall, Olivia's tongue found its way in to Alex's mouth, and her hands in to her wet polka dot panties.
Olivia's fingers wasted no time finding Alex's swollen clit.
Alex let out a pleased moan.
"Baby..." Alex said, opening her legs a bit wider for better access.
Olivia two fingers slid in to near, teasing Alex's opening.
"I want to fuck you, feel you around me."
"Yes, baby please." Alex panted.
Olivia's fingers slowly slid in to Alex.
"Alex" was all Olivia could drag out as wetness soaked Olivia's fingers.
She began to pump her fingers in to Alex.
Before Alex knew it Olivia had pulled her body closer to hers, lifting one of her legs so she could go deeper.
Alex's head thrown back, Olivia finger fucked her as she rubbed Alex's clit back and forth with her thumb.
Alex's knees weakened.
"I've got you baby, come for me, I've got you…" Olivia said, as she held Alex between her body and the wall.
"Liv, baby, keep going. God, keep going…"
"Come for me baby!" Olivia said in between breaths.
Alex and Olivia both would be thankful later that the hallway to Alex's bedroom was on an interior wall of the apartment.
"God baby…"
Alex began to shutter around Olivia's fingers and Olivia pushed her over the edge.
Olivia loved the sounds Alex made as she made her come.
Olivia held Alex as promised when her knees went weak.
Their chests heaved against the others as they both came down from the high.
Sweat beading between their breasts, still pressed in to each other.
Alex laughed with euphoric laughter.
Olivia grinned satisfied at the smile on Alex's face.
Alex then pushed off the wall.
"Bed!" Alex ordered, pushing Olivia backwards towards the bedroom.
As they hit the bed, Alex reached between Olivia's legs, cupping her soaked panties.
Alex gave a sly smile and slid Olivia's panties down her hips, and reminded Olivia to get in bed.
Alex crawled on top of Olivia, straddling her at her stomach.
Alex's core pressing in to Olivia revealed she was wet all over again.
"You make me so hot, so wet…"
"Mmm I can feel you baby." Olivia said with a grin.
Alex's long blonde hair drug across Olivia's olive skin as she kissed down her body.
Alex then slid down the bed and continued to kiss down Olivia's body.
"You are so ridiculously sexy." Alex said as Olivia writhed under Alex's soft kisses.
Alex's hand ran down between Olivia's breasts, down her belly, and then dipped in to Olivia's folds.
She ran her fingers down the length of Olivia and then spread her lower lips open as Alex's mouth made contact with Olivia's clit.
The sound that came from Olivia's mouth let Alex know she was right where she needed to be.
Alex kissed, and licked, and sucked; cover her mouth and fingers with Olivia.
Alex pushed Olivia's legs further apart as she pushed her tongue inside of her.
Olivia reactively held on to Alex's head.
"Fuck, oh fuck!" Olivia said not believing Alex Cabot abilities to do what she was doing to her.
Alex moved back up to Olivia's swollen clit and lapped rhythmically.
"Oh baby… oh, oh… yes! Yes!" Olivia screamed as she came against Alex's mouth.
Alex stayed below a few moment kissing, caressing Olivia's thighs. Alex couldn't believe she could be so in love with this woman's body.
Both spent, Alex crawled in to Olivia's arms.
"You are amazing," Olivia said kissing Alex.
"Not too bad yourself Ms. Benson." Alex said once again with a grin on her face.
"I'm glad you came home to me tonight." Alex said pulling Olivia even closer.
Home.
And the right decision.
"I just wanted to be with you so much." Olivia said closing her eyes.
