Olivia opened her eyes she felt absolutely whacked, her head was banging and she couldn't remember when she felt so exhausted the last time. She turned around and saw that Elliot was gone. She wasn't surprised 'cause she told him to go, but she felt a little stitch into her heart. It was like it some times just is, you tell someone that it is okay to leave 'cause it's the right thing to do, but you're hopeful that the person insists on staying 'cause actually you don't wanna be left alone.

She turned around. "Café", she suddenly thought. She needed one, desperately. She even had the smell of it in her nose. She stood up and walked into the kitchen, when she opened her bedroom door she saw Elliot preparing breakfast.

"Hey, how are you doing?", he asked and it sounded awkwardly joyful, for Elliot's matters.

Suddenly she was stunned that he was still there, in her apartment, preparing breakfast. "Well, I had better days before.", she muffled.

He stopped in the middle of his movement. "I'm sorry, Liv."

Olivia sighed: "No, I'm sorry. It's just I don't know what to think or to feel and when I woke up you were gone and I wished you weren't and when I got used to the thought, I find you standing in my kitchen and I don't know...", she started tearing up again.

Elliot walked over and pulled her into his arms, they just stood there and Olivia closed her arms around him, she pressed herself against him. First she felt so comforted and she wanted to stay there for the rest of her life but then she started to recognize his body, his hard muscles and his smell, did he really smell that good the whole time she was working with him?

She felt Elliot pulling her closer to his chest.

Wait a second, what was that? Was he aroused? Was that his erection she felt?

"Elliot, we have to stop that.", she whispered and pushed herself out of his embrace.

"Oh, god Liv. I don't know how I could do this, again, I'm very sorry."

"It's okay Elliot. Thanks for being there for me last night but maybe it would be better you leave now."

"Liv wait, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done this. I'm...", he sounded desperate. "Olivia, I would never hurt you, you know that. I would never ever force you doing something you don't want to do. You know that, right?"

Olivia was confused and suddenly she got what Elliot was talking about. He thought she was scared because of his erection. She couldn't help herself she started to laugh. Now it was Elliot's turn to be confused he looked crestfallen.

"I'm sorry Elliot.", Olivia was still laughing hysterically. "I wasn't scared. I felt the same way as you did, that's why I told you to leave.", she stopped laughing and looked onto her tiptoes.

"I wanted to feel you closer as every hug could ever be and when I felt, that you also liked hugging me, I suddenly didn't trust myself anymore."

The next thing she remembered, was being pushed against the wall and feeling Elliot's mouth teasing her neck. "Are you sure you want this, after what you remembered the last days? I don't want you to have this memories in your head when I fuck you.", Elliot whispered into her ear.

"Elliot, we can't do this, you're married."

Elliot had the most satisfied and wolfish smile on his face she ever saw and that means a lot 'cause he is the king of wolfish smiles.

"No I'm not. Kathy and me separated three months ago. I'm living in my own apartment."

"What, why didn't you tell me?"

"Liv, do we really have to discuss this right now?"

Olivia sighed when Elliot put his attention back on teasing her neck. "No, I give you plenty of opportunities to apologize for that.", she stepped back and pulled Elliot with her into her bedroom.
