A/N: I think its time for some EOness. Don't you all? Of course you guys think so! Why else would anyone read this story? Besides, I am annoying my own damn self by robbing us all of our EO!! They need to be together.
In this chapter, we find out that there is definitely some chemistry between our favorite SVU detectives. Elliot sure shows that he does... ;) While they may not be getting together in this chapter, there will definitely be some EO moments until they do get together. Including one very passionate moment, Jennifer's idea. I owe you for helping me! You rock girl :)
I didn't kill Kathy for a reason LOL. I was surprised at how many of you's are just as vindictive and evil as me ;) Just blows my mind... I am keeping her breathing for the time being because... Well, you'll see. Maybe in this chapter, maybe in the next. Not sure. Can't really say because once I start an EO moment in this chappy, its safe to say the entire damn chapter will be nothing but EOness. Sigh, I can't help myself. Not like you guys are complaining though, right? :)
Rest assured my fellow EO shippers, Kathy will not be interfering anymore, and Dani Beck... lets just say that little wench has as ass kicking in store for her! Gotta have her return sometime because I just want Liv to beat the hell out of her. Yanno, I am evil like that :)
Thank you all for your reviews!! :D I'm so happy everyone thinks this story is good! And as long as you continue to show the love, I will show my gratitude by updating on a timely basis!
Read. Review. Enjoy!
Elliot hadn't left Olivia's side since she'd been rushed into the hospital. Even when the doctors insisted he step outside, he stayed. He never wanted to let her out of his sight again. He damn near lost her last time, and could lose her this time! He hated the fact that he didn't go with her. That he didn't go get Kathy himself. He wished he wouldn't have ever involved Liv within his personal life.
Not only was it unprofessional to have such a close relationship with your partner, but the things he felt for her were forbidden. Cragen would never it, and would split them up. And if he didn't, then IA would. They always had a way to find out these things, and they always got their way. Elliot didn't know if he could ever work with another partner full time. She was the only one for him; his one and only partner. Not even Dani could replace her. Olivia was his constant, his touchstone. No one could fill her shoes, or make him feel the way she made him feel.
Once the room had cleared, Olivia looked so peaceful laying there. The doctor mentioned that she had loss alot of blood, and would probably be out for a while. She had a mild concussion, but was expected to make a full recovery with plenty of rest and fluids. The news couldn't have been better as Elliot nodded, thanking the doctor before taking a seat beside her. The chair had been too far away for his liking, so he slowly pulled the chair beside her bed. He got himself comfortable, taking her hand in his and gently rubbing her smooth skin. He interlaced their fingers, smiling when he felt her unconsciously squeeze his hand.
"Your gonna be okay, Liv." He whispered, brushing his lips against the smooth texture of the back of her hand. Her peaceful face relaxed him; making him feel somewhat comforted by the fact he could see this side of her. He'd often watched her in the crib; his eyes gazing over her curves while she slept. But then, her body was more tired, her features still showing her beauty yet failed to look peaceful. He had only saw her this way when ever it were just them. She seemed to relax around him, and he took utter joy in the fact he could make her feel so safe.
He often wondered what else he made her feel when they were together. He'd caught her countless time stealing peeks at him. And he'd often observed her observing him. If only she knew what crossed his mind when they went on stakeouts, or what he was thinking when they were out in the field. Her body haunted his mind; and he craved for her touch. Craved for her attention. He knew she would drop everything for him; knew she would always be at his side when he needed her. And that was what amazed him most. She didn't even like Kathy, yet she risked her own life for her. And it wasn't just once. Not even twice. But three times. And the third time was the charm.
His eyes hazed over with un-shed tears as he slowly lifted his free hand to brush the stray strands of hair out of her face. He smiled; taking in the sight of her.
"You really are a sleeping beauty Liv." His voice was nothing short of a whisper. He took in the sight of her complexion; loving the way she seemed to be tan yet oh so perfect. The gentle rise and fall of her chest comforted him, and he was so very tempted to taste her lips. He could feel the temptation building up inside of him, and he wanted so badly to just lean over and do it. He was never afraid of anything so small, but when it came to Liv, fear had a new meaning. He wasn't just afraid for losing a partner, he was scared to death of losing the woman he felt so much for. He was terrified of being without her; of not ever seeing her smiling face, or hearing her laugh. Her voice. He couldn't live without her period.
He wouldn't. Olivia was the only reason he kept himself going, the only reason he never ate his gun. She was the only reason he was even alive. She'd had his back throughout his ups and downs, and even saved his life on cases. She'd risked her own for him and his family. Yet, he had done nothing for her. The thought brought guilt's ugly face into his heart, but that guilt was soon pushed back as he felt Olivia's hand squeeze his own.
"Liv, honey? Are you awake?" Keeping his voice low, he leaned up, staring at her face. Her eye lids flickered slightly, before her lps fell slightly open. That was it. He couldn't help himself any longer, he needed to confirm something he had suspected for so damn long. Caressing her cheek softly, he gazed down at her. He gently kissed her forehead, before he closed his eyes and dipped his head lower.
Her lips were soft, and warm against his own. Though she did not kiss back, he could still feel the passion. He felt as if his heart would explode from such a feeling that could only be described as... Love. Squeezing her hand, Elliot pulled back, his body glowing with a warm sensation. Shock registered; he had just kissed his partner. His best friend. As if on cue, Elliot had no time to ponder the new sensations as Cragen gently padded through the door, followed by her 'family'. Munch and Fin had a vase of flowers, while Lake had a small bouquet of lily's. Cragen carried in a single white rose.
"How is she?" The captain asked, taking her other hand in his as he stared down at her. He would never admit it, but Olivia was his favorite detective. Hell, she had been so special to everyone in the room. She was the only woman who they could work with. The only woman who fit so perfectly with all of them. Everyone had often admired Olivia for that fact. For the simple fact that she could work with men and not be intimidated. If anything, it were the other way around. She was like one of the guys; she was tough. It had only taken a month for her to earn the reputation as Bad Ass Benson. Hell, the fact that Elliot and she were together for so long as partners was impressive. Everyone knew that he was hard to work with, yet she made it seem so easy.
And that was another reason why he felt the way he felt when around her. She never judged him; never cared to. She only wanted to offer her support and time. She offered up her entire life to him; and he took her without hesitation. They fit perfectly.
"The doc said she'd be fine. She just needs rest." Elliot commented, not caring that his boss had probably seen him smooching her.
'I'll gladly do it again if it meant feeling like I do now.' He thought with a smirk. Munch grinned, nudging Fin in the arm who shook his head.
"You been takin care of her El?" Fin asked, already knowing the answer but wanting to make sure everything was in order.
"Always." The answer was simply, yet true. And he seemed to have earned their trust with her. Another benefit of being the only woman in all of their lives. They were extremely protective of their 'baby girl'. And if anyone dared to hurt her, they better hit the ground running like hell. It was enough that the man who shot her early that day had to be removed from his holding cell because of Fin's temper. Fin had been like a brother to Olivia since day one, always looking out for her.
"Good, cause you know I know where you live." Fin grinned, but was deadly serious. Cragen glanced up with a small smile, dropping Olivia's hand gently.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that threat detective." Cragen grinned, kissing Olivia's forehead before pulling back and walking to the door. "We'll get to work on this case. Apparently, the bodies that were found in the truck are over a month old. I'll keep you updated and as soon as Liv is awake, I'll be expecting a phone call."
Elliot nodded as one by one his friends left, leaving him alone once more with his sleeping beauty. He smiled once more, the feeling of her lips on his returning with a burning sensation that nearly made him fall out of his chair. The feeling made his heart jolt with a new desire. He had to be with her; needed to feel her close to him at all times. Kissing the bakc of her hand once again, he figured now would be the perfect time to confess his feelings to her. Even if she couldn't hear him; he could at least let them out.
"You know, ever since we met Liv, there's been this feeling that I couldn't place. A feeling I'm sure we share." His eyes laid on her face, his gaze stilling as he stared at her, hoping for any sign that she could hear him. There wasn't any. So he continued, "You scared the hell out of me today, Olivia. I was freaking out on my way to the accident. When Kathy came running up to me, it was like she never existed. I pushed her aside with only one person on my mind."
"I was frantic; praying to God that you were safe." He whispered so softly, he swore he could hear her heart beating. "I could never lose you, Liv. I wouldn't be able to go without you." Tears slowly crept their way from his blue eyes, his hold on her hand tightening. He was so into his ranting, he couldn't feel her squeezing back.
"Everyday, I wake up praying for your safety. Everyday I wake up wanting to see your smiling face, wanting to hear your sexy ass voice." He chuckled slightly, letting the tears fall freely. "If I ever lost that; lost you, I would eat my gun."
"No one means as much to me as you do. No one, Liv. Not Kathy, and not Dani. I've wanted you from the beginning, and if I could, I would go back in time and correct every mistake I made; I'd right every single wrong."
"I'd tell you the things I should've told you that day I drove to your place to pick you up five years ago." He loved the memory of dropping by her place when she was being stalked. He loved the way her face seemed to light up at the sight of him, and sharing that glass of OJ with her was something magical. It was amazing. Something so small could turn out to be something so big with her. He certainly had a new opinion about the taste of OJ. "I meant what I said about protecting you."
"Olivia," On a roll now, feeling like such a romantic, he lifted out of his chair, to gaze upon her lovely face. He only wished she could be awake for his confession. "There is no one else for me. I have always loved you, and that'll never change." He leant in, wanting to fully relive the kiss. He indulged, putting all his emotions into the kiss. He felt her hand tighten on his, and suddenly he became nervous. He was ready to pull away when he felt her lips move against his, and her free reach up to cup the back of his neck. He reveled in the feel, his heart pounding. Olivia Benson was kissing him back.
A/N:What'll happen now? Did she hear his confession?? You know what to do if you want more EO! Review loves! :)
