"Talk, Ask, Listen" Chapter 25

"Well Mr. Foster with that voice ID I'm thinking the people are holding a full house and your client is showing a two and seven," Sonya quipped after Munch escorted Kelly Herndon from the viewing room. "Think the two and seven mean 27 or more years if you and your client choose to go to trial in both cases."

"Give me a few minutes with my client. And you know Ms. Paxton I've had both cases less than 72 hours so there's plenty of discovery…"

"Sonya. And what you will discover counselor is a mountain of evidence, and witnesses with irreproachable credibility on the prosecution side, including members of your client's family," Sonya replied. "And of course you already know the DNA results from Massachusetts."

"Yes and I have yet to tell my client Sonya," he responded. "I'm going to meet with my client now and then I will come to your office for our meeting."

"I'll just wait here at the precinct. Plenty of rooms for us to meet here as well," Sonya smiled.

"You're very sure of yourself," Foster smiled.

"I am, but I am even more sure of the evidence we have against your client for the rape of Kelly Herndon and then top that off with holding an ADA hostage and…"

"I haven't had enough time for full discovery yet," Foster quipped, "But I am aware of the charges counselor."

"Just wanted to help out," Sonya laughed. "Oh and it was good that you and Trevor Langan met earlier. I'm sure he told you that the top divorce attorney in his firm is representing Sydney Reckell."

"What are you looking at so intently?" Olivia said plopping on the bed after showering.

"Apartment listings from my agent," Alex said turning the laptop so Olivia could see better.

"Anything good?" Olivia asked rubbing lotion over her calves and thighs, further opening the loosely tied robe she was wearing. "Apartment wise," Olivia smirked, following Alex's gaze.

"Yes," Alex laughed. "And don't act all innocent…you brought the lotion out here from the bathroom."

"Did I?" Olivia winked. "Maybe since you wouldn't take a shower with me…"

"And I only didn't because I didn't want to miss if Sonya or Don called," Alex countered, slipping the robe off Olivia's shoulders and down her arms.

"And since you are looking at apartments, I'm concluding that they didn't and you could have honored my request," Olivia replied.

"Not necessarily," Alex smiled trying to pull the small bottle of lotion from Olivia's hand. "Because the shower length would have been doubled…you know how long it takes for me to wash my hair."

"So that would have been the only reason the time of the shower would have increased," Olivia queried, wrapping her fingers snugly around the bottle and extending her arm away from Alex's grasp.

"I don't know," Alex smirked, setting the laptop on the nightstand and then wrapping her legs around Olivia's waist and sliding onto her lap. "I probably should shave my legs again…so that would have taken some extra time too."

"I don't know, this one feels perfectly smooth," Olivia teased, running the fingers of her free hand up Alex's calf, over her knee and stopping at mid-thigh. "Any other mitigating factors counselor," Olivia smiled, sliding her hand from Alex's thigh and squeezing some lotion into her palm. She flipped the bottle out of Alex's immediate reach and rubbed the lotion in her palms before sliding her hands to her front and massaging the lotion across toned abs.

"I'm not sure I know what you're insinuating," Alex smiled as she quickly discarded her white tank top and then reached around Olivia stretching for the lotion, her breasts pressing into Olivia's chest and her silk covered core sliding up her abdomen.

"Oh but I think you do," Olivia moaned, cupping Alex's breasts and lying back on the bed.

"Mmmm, maybe a little," Alex sighed, meeting Olivia's lips and pressing a thigh between her legs. "God baby," Alex purred breaking the kiss. "You know how hot it gets me, how close to the edge I get just feeling how wet you are for me." Olivia arched her hips into Alex's thigh needing more contact.

"Alex please," Olivia growled, sliding her hands down the blonde's back and pulling her hips into her.

"You want me to fuck you…fuck you hard babe?" Alex moaned as she sucked and bit at Olivia's pulse point and further down her neck.

"God yes…," Olivia gasped, pulling at Alex's silk panties. "Baby I want…"

"What do you want gorgeous…anything you want…and obviously you want these gone," Alex said tossing her panties on the floor.

Olivia freed her arms from the robe, leaving the garment on the covers as she slid across the bed until her head was resting on a pillow near the headboard. She ran the tip of her tongue over her lips, admiring Alex's naked form.

"Baby," Olivia sighed, "I want to taste you, suck on your clit, thrust my tongue inside you as you fuck me."

"Oh fuck Liv," Alex sighed, sliding her hand to her own center and three fingers between her soaked folds. She crawled up the bed slowly trailing the tips of her coated fingers along Olivia's inner thigh. Olivia's legs trembled from Alex's touch and her hips bucked as the fingers continued higher. Alex straddled Olivia, her thighs pressing along the sides of Olivia breasts. Olivia spread her legs further as Alex's fingertips teased at her entrance.

"God Alex," Olivia growled, placing her hands on Alex's hips and guiding her swollen and soaked center closer to her lips. Alex plunged three fingers inside Olivia's tight velvet walls, grabbing the headboard with her other hand as she lowered her throbbing core to Olivia's eager tongue and lips.

Olivia focused her lips and tongue on Alex's swollen, pulsating nub, sucking harder and moaning louder as Alex thrust faster, deeper and harder inside her.

"Oh fuck Liv…you feel so good…so fuckin' good inside," Alex cried, throwing her head back and gripping the headboard even tighter. "Stroke me faster if you want it harder," she moaned, and immediately felt Olivia's talented tongue respond.

"Fuck…" Alex screamed, her palm slapping against Olivia's sex with each furious thrust. "I'm so close baby." Olivia tightened her grip on Alex's hips, the flat of her tongue pressing between Alex's folds, and then under and over the nub of bundled nerves. Alex felt Olivia's release so close and she curled her fingers in that spot…and just as Olivia felt the first wave of her orgasm crash into her she plunged her tongue inside Alex and drank her offering as her lover writhed above her.

"It's Sonya," Alex said, looking at her phone, her head still snuggled on Olivia's chest.

"I think I can speak coherently again babe," Olivia smiled.

"Morning Sonya," Alex answered enthusiastically while pressing the speaker icon.

"Good morning," Olivia added.

"I really thought this morning that if you didn't answer my call you'd at least call me back within five minutes," Sonya questioned.

"You called before," Alex said surprised.

"Yes, about twenty minutes ago…tried your phone too Benson," Sonya quipped.

Alex looked at Olivia trying not to laugh.

"Oh shit. I guess I left my phone on vibrate," Alex quipped. "And Liv…Liv went down for breakfast."

"I bet she did," Sonya laughed. "How was it detective?"

"Very, very good," Olivia blushed, playfully slapping Alex on the shoulder. "But I'm thinking you must have some news for us."

"Kelly ID'd Reckell definitively and right away in the voice line up," Sonya said. "And I had a brief, fun little chat with Foster before he went to meet with Reckell."

"So do you think he is open to a deal?" Alex queried.

"Well considering his strongest rebuke of the possibility seems to be only that he has had both cases less than 72 hours…I'm thinking the odds are in our favor," Sonya replied. "I'm waiting here at the precinct for him to meet with me. We got Reckell here now…would really prefer to cut a deal here than to have to dedicate a trip to Rikers to meet with the bastard."

"Good point," Olivia said.

"Oh and for added measure he knows that Sydney now is being represented by the best divorce lawyer at Trevor's firm," Sonya laughed. "Trevor told Foster that and I reminded Foster of that fact after the lineup."

"Lot of money that Josh probably doesn't have for two trials to begin with and certainly not with divorce proceedings…very nice Sonya," Alex laughed.

"Just figuring it might be something Josh might take into consideration…not that there aren't good public defenders but…And you already know about the DNA matches from the Boston cases."

"So Sonya you have dinner plans tonight?" Alex asked.

"Um let me review my non-existent social life for a minute…that would be no I don't."

"Good, then we're going to take you out for dinner," Alex said.

"Well thanks, but you both know this job. I don't know what is going to happen four hours from now."

"Sonya you're going to have to eat and not that I want to, but nobody has said anything about me coming back to work yet, so pretty flexible schedule," Olivia said.

"And I don't have any pressing work, so if it is dinner at nine or 10 that is what it will be," Alex added. "We could be going through a media circus right now and thankfully we aren't and you get a lot of credit for that."

"Thanks. Dinner sounds great. Going to meet with Foster now. I'll call you later," Sonya said quickly, nodding to Reckell's attorney.

"Thanks…Good luck," Alex said.

"This is good news," Alex smiled, kissing Olivia softly on the cheek. "I'm going to shower now. Do you want to join me?"

"Sure," Olivia smiled. "And then let's go get some breakfast."
