Olivia awoke to the sound of someone moving around her apartment. She instantly reached for Alex to pull her close while trying to reach for her gun she kept by her bed. When she didn't feel Alex in the bed she began to panic and forced herself to focus her eyes the best she could. That was when she saw the figure that she would know anywhere, Alex.

"Why are you snooping around?" Olivia asked raising up on her elbow as she admired Alex's figure in the darkness.

Alex jumped and stifled a scream when she heard Olivia's voice "I wasn't snooping. I was trying to find something to write on so I could leave you a note."

Olivia sat up in bed "What, a thank you for the great fuck note and then walk out to never look back."

Alex twinged at the tone of Olivia's voice "No more like a, you were sleeping so well and I didn't have the heart to wake you but I had to go home so I could start getting ready for work letter."

"Oh" Olivia said more to herself than to Alex as she slid to the end of the bed. She held her breath as she motioned for Alex to come over to her, scared that she wouldn't with what she had just said to her.

Alex smiled at the unsure look on Olivia's face and quickly stepped into her waiting arms. She ran her fingers through her short brown hair as she looked down into a pair of eyes that for the first time was showing her all the pain from past lovers.

"Liv, it's almost three in the afternoon and I have to get home to take care of somethings and get ready for work. I was not intentionally trying to sneak out I was just hoping you could get a little more sleep."

"Are the errands you have to run something you can put off till tomorrow?" Olivia asked as she ran her thumb across Alex's waist line.

"The errands yes, getting ready for work no." Alex whispered as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the way her body instantly responded to Olivia's touch "I don't want people to think just because I slept with the boss I can do what I want."

"Slept implies a one-time event" Olivia whispered as she unbuttoned the shirt Alex was wearing and opened it up so her torso was exposed to her. "I don't want this to be a one-time event. I would prefer the line she's sleeping with her boss."

"I thought you didn't do repeat fucks. It was a new woman every night." Alex said her tone full of pain as she recalled the parade of women that Olivia had flaunted past her months prior.

"I" Olivia whispered as she kissed Alex's abdomen "didn't" kiss "until" kiss "I" kiss "met" kiss "you". Olivia nipped her navel area before pulling back and looking up at the blonde. "But you changed all that."

Alex raised her left leg up onto the bed before balancing herself using Olivia's shoulders so she could place her right leg next to Olivia. It was an automatic sigh that escaped her mouth as she settled her body onto hers.

Olivia slid her hands under the back of the shirt and then ran her hands up and down Alex's back. She closed her eyes and nuzzled her head between Alex's breasts and inhaled her scent. It amazed her how quickly her heart beat would speed up yet her whole body seemed at peace whenever her intoxicating scent surrounded her.

Alex ran her fingers through the hair at the base of Olivia's neck as she closed her eyes and placed a kiss on the top of her head. A smile graced her lips when she felt Olivia's muscles start to relax. To know that she had that effect on Olivia, or any woman for that matter, was a bigger aphrodisiac than any drug out there.

"Let's get you out of this" Olivia whispered as she began to lower the shirt down Alex's arms and tossed it to the floor before bringing her hand to the clasp of the bra. She was starting to unsnap it when she felt one of Alex's hands on hers stopping her.

"Is all you think about is getting me into bed?" Alex asked as she pulled back from Olivia.

"I figured you would be more comfortable without your bra on when you lay down."

"At what point did I agree to stay?" Alex asked as she raised herself up and off Olivia.

"You didn't" Olivia answered as she leaned forward and pulled Alex back to her "I was hoping I could change your mind. But on a serious note Alex if you want to leave I won't stop you."

Alex stepped away from Olivia and bent over to retrieve her shirt off the ground. She glanced over at Olivia and was taken back by the pain she saw flash through her eyes. Without saying a word she laid her shirt over the back of the chair and slid out of her pants.

Olivia breathed a sigh of relief when she watched Alex slide out of her pants. She quickly scooted back on the bed and motioned for Alex to join her. She felt her mouth go dry when Alex began to crawl up the bed towards her.

"Wow" Olivia breathed as Alex hovered over her. She reached up and pulled her to her for a bruising kiss.

Alex moaned into the kiss as she lowered her body on the bed. Olivia had been so gentle and loving toward her earlier that she was even more turned on feeling this side of her. She couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she completely surrendered herself over to Olivia and told her she was hers to do with as she pleased. If earlier was any indication she seriously doubted she would be able to walk right for a week.

Olivia broke the kiss and gasped for air as she brushed the hair from Alex's face. How did a devil like her wind up with an angel in her arms?

Alex placed a chaste kiss on Olivia's lips before sliding down against her body. She wrapped her arm around her midsection and tangled her legs up with hers. She released a sigh of relief as she laid her head on Olivia's chest and felt her heart beating.

"I can never compare to them" Alex whispered so low that Olivia thought she was hearing things.

"To who?" Olivia hummed as she unconsciously ran right hand up and down Alex's arm.

"The other women you've been with" Alex answered as she raised her head and looked at Olivia with tear filled eyes "What happens when you realize that I'm not enough for you?"

Olivia felt as if someone had placed a hand around her neck and had started squeezing when she saw the tears and doubt swirling in her eyes.

"Growing up Liz and Lena had always warned me about my wild ways and said one day I would either live to regret it or lose my soulmate because of it." Olivia answered as she wiped the tears from Alex's face "I always thought they were lying to me because who wanted the daughter of a rapist. That was until the day you came in for the job. Alex you blew me away on the spot and have everyday sense.' Olivia took a deep breath before continuing "The night I came through the door and it was so cold and I gave you my jacket."

"More like forced it on me and it smelled like another woman."

"Because seeing you with Casey hurt me so bad but seeing you happy made me so happy. I was living in hell. So, I went to a club I used to attend to pick a woman up for a night. I figured if I couldn't have you I would just, for a lack of better terms, fuck another woman or women till I forgot about you."

Alex started to pull away from Olivia not wanting to hear about the night she still remembers vividly.

"Listen to me" Olivia said tightening her grip on Alex preventing her from leaving "I had a woman in the bathroom stall and was set to fuck her where she stood. But when I looked up at her it was your face and voice I heard. Asking me why would I hurt you like this. How could I if I cared so much for you? I ran from the club and didn't stop until I reached Andromeda's. When I saw the light coat you were wearing I knew it wouldn't be enough and tried to get you to take mine."

Alex looked at Olivia with confusion written all over her face.

"The look on your face hurt me worse than anything else ever has, possibly even worse than the day I lost my mother. That was also the last time I was ever with anyone else. I figured if I had a fighting chance at all I had to change my ways."

"That was months ago" Alex stated as she realized how long ago the incident was.

"I know because I realized at that moment no one could ever compare to you and they never will. Honey you blow ever woman out of the water and they can't even come close to holding a candle to you. So when you think you won't be enough for me or I will get tired of you, you're wrong. God you're so wrong."

"If you haven't been with anyone else who was all the other women I would see you with? The ones that appeared as if you were flaunting them in front of me."

"Probably because I was." Olivia said with laughter in her voice "I wanted to make you so jealous that you would storm up to them and fight for me. I wanted you to do something I didn't even have the courage to do. How ironic is that."

"In case you're wondering I was jealous" Alex answered as she placed a kiss on Olivia's jaw line "When we got home I would rant and rave on and on about you and your endless parade of women. Casey would always tell me to either do something about it or shut up."

"I will be honest in the past I hated jealous women but with you" Olivia turned her head so she could look into her sea blue eyes "with you I think it would be a turn on and a little added spice to the bedroom if you know what I mean."

"Is that all you think about?" Alex asked playfully swatting at Olivia.

"I just admitted it had been a while for me and besides I have the most beautiful woman in the world laying naked in my arms. Excuse me if my libido runs wild but then again to be totally honest it flies off the chart anytime I lay my eyes upon you."

"Yeah well we have to get up for work in a few hours and to be honest with you. Last night was probably the best sex I've ever had and you worked muscles I didn't know I had. So I don't think I can handle another round right now." Alex said as she blushed and looked away from Olivia.

Olivia rolled Alex over on her back and hovered over her body pinning her wrists by her head. She glanced up and down Alex's body before leaning in close and whispering in her ear "You could handle more trust me. You may not think so but I promise you I could play your body right now and bring you to another mind blowing orgasm like I did earlier." Olivia raised up and released her hold on Alex's wrists "And for as much as I desire you and want to make love to you constantly. I am perfectly happy and content to simply hold you in my arms. That is all that I am asking of you."

Alex smiled at Olivia as she rolled off her and pulled her tight against her. She once again wrapped her arm around Olivia's waist and tangled her legs with hers like before. Within minutes the slow and steady beat of Olivia's heart lulled her to sleep.


A/N: Probably not the chapter everyone was expecting but we thought it would be best to clear the air of some things. Especially before we continue down this journey with our two favorite women. We would like to thank everyone who has stuck with us and my sporadic writing.
