A/N: The calm before the storm. Also, I didn't get a chance to re-watch this episode before I wrote it, so I just went with what I remembered and created in my mind.
I laughed at the comment about Olivia and the "skank." All I will say is, don't worry.
BETWEEN THE SCENES: 5.05 SERENDIPITY
It was Alex's first day at White Collar. Olivia had asked Cragen if she could be a little late that morning. She wanted to take Alex to work, see her new office and help her carry her personal items in. Olivia woke up early that morning and cooked breakfast for Alex. Bacon, eggs, and fresh squeezed orange juice.
Alex had been sad to leave SVU, but Olivia arranged for them to meet the squad the previous Friday to have a drink and say goodbyes to their favorite ADA. Everyone was sad to see her go, too, but happy that Olivia and Alex could finally move on to the next phase of their relationship.
When Alex arrived at her new office, she already had flowers on her desk. Olivia had arranged for an early morning delivery and asked Alex's new assistant, Maggie, to make sure they made them to her office.
"Wow, breakfast, a ride to work, and flowers?" Alex said. "I should have left SVU a long time ago."
"I'm just glad you're feeling better," Olivia said. "I know that dropping the Velez case was tough on you."
"Well, having a supportive girlfriend helps," Alex said. She looked around the office to make sure the door was closed and leaned in to give Olivia a chaste kiss. Even though they had disclosed, they were both careful not to flaunt the PDA around either of their offices. They especially didn't want to do it on Alex's first day in a new bureau.
"When is your new ADA coming?" Alex asked once they had finished setting up Alex's photos and few personal items around her office.
"Cragen said probably a couple of weeks before they get someone regular," Olivia said. "Which was the plan before Velez."
"Just make sure you don't like them more than you liked me," Alex teased.
"I don't think that is possible for any of us, especially me," Olivia said. "I'm sorry, but I have to get going. I'm already later than I planned to be."
"Dinner tonight?" Alex asked. "I imagine I'll be home at a reasonable hour and can cook for us."
"I can't wait," Olivia said. "I'll text you if something comes up."
Olivia arrived at the squad room just as Elliot was heading toward the elevator.
"It's about time," he said. "We have a crime scene and need to go."
When they arrived at the house, Olivia headed inside to see what CSU had found. While inside looking around, she heard a female voice behind her giving instruction to her and the CS techs. Elliot walked up right after that.
"Who the hell is this?" Olivia said, ignoring the woman and looking at Elliot.
"This is Casey Novak," Elliot said. "Our new ADA."
"Have we met?" Casey asked Elliot.
"Softball league," Elliot said. "I think we kicked the DA's office ass. I'm Elliot Stabler. This is my partner, Olivia Benson."
"Nice to meet you, Detective Benson," Casey said.
"Not to be rude, but isn't it a little early for you to be here?" Olivia asked.
"I like to be hands-on," Casey said. "Besides, I heard your last ADA let SVU push the boundaries too often. I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen."
Olivia clenched her jaw and gave a look to Elliot.
"Come on, Casey, why don't you take a look at what we have outside," Elliot said, directing her out of the house and more importantly, away from Olivia.
Despite catching a case, Olivia was able to make it home a decent hour. When she arrived, Alex had dinner ready and waiting for her.
"How was your first day?" Olivia asked when they sat down to eat.
"Compared to SVU, pretty boring," Alex said. "A lot of getting up to speed on current cases. One of their ADAs just transferred out, so I'm taking over her caseload."
"Let me guess, Casey Novak," Olivia said, rolling her eyes just from saying the name.
"Yeah, that's her," Alex said. "Is that who they sent SVU?"
"Yep," Olivia said.
"Yep? That's it? It can't' be that bad, right?" Alex said. "I mean, I've been going through her cases and files; it seems like she's good at her job."
"I'm sure she is," Olivia said. "She's just not you. She's a little more hands-on, and she's 'here to make sure that that SVU doesn't push the boundaries as much as our last ADA allowed us to push them'. Her words."
"She said that to you?" Alex said, shocked.
"Yeah, she said that," Olivia said.
"Well, obviously she doesn't know about us," Alex said. "Oh, God, you didn't say anything rude to her did you?"
"No, Elliot drug her out of our crime scene before I had a chance to say anything," Olivia said. "Apparently, he knows her from the softball league."
"Well, give her a chance," Alex said. "You guys weren't exactly receptive to me when I arrived either."
"Yeah, and you weren't exactly receptive to us, either," Olivia laughed.
"You guys were a pain in my ass," Alex said. "But that was before I fell for a certain brunette detective. After that, I was a pushover for you all."
"I hardly think anyone would ever describe Alex Cabot as a pushover," Olivia said.
"Anyway, I've heard good things about Novak," Alex said. "Just don't get as friendly with her as you got with me."
"Well, how am I ever going to win her over?" Olivia joked.
"I guess you'll just have to use your charming personality and not your hands," Alex said. She pushed her plate away. They were both finished with dinner. "I swear, I think this is the earliest we've had dinner in months."
"Yeah, it's pretty nice," Olivia said. "I could get used to it."
"So, for dessert, I have mint chocolate chip ice cream, or … ," Alex said, dragging the "or" our seductively.
"Or what?" Olivia said.
"We could skip the ice cream and have dessert in the bedroom," Alex said. Her words were burning with desire for Olivia. She reached over and put her hand on Olivia's knee and leaned forward.
"Hmm, that's a tough decision," Olivia said. "I mean, on one hand I really like mint chocolate chip ice cream."
"Shut up," Alex said. She got up and pulled Olivia with her and wrapped her arms around Olivia's neck. "You can have ice cream after, but right now, all I want is you."
Alex pressed her lips to Olivia's, kissing her so passionately, the two of them nearly stumbled as they held on to each other. Olivia picked Alex up and carried her to the unused part of the dining room table.
"I'd rather just have my dessert right here," Olivia growled, pushing Alex back, careful not to let her get near their dinner plates they hadn't put away yet.
Alex wrapped her legs around Olivia's waist and held on as Olivia laid her back and began kissing her neck.
"You know we have to eat on this table," Alex mumbled. "And so do our guests."
"We can stop having people over," Olivia said between assaulting Alex's neck and mouth with her lips. "Or I'll buy a new table. I mean unless you really want me to stop."
"Oh God, no," Alex said.
Olivia pushed her hands up under Alex's shirt and raised Alex up. Olivia pulled the shirt over Alex's head, tossing it aside, and then unhooked her bra. Alex laid back down as Olivia went back to work on her. She kissed Alex's lips. Then her ears. Down to the side of her neck, then the front. Alex was panting by this point. Finally, she took one of Alex's breasts in her mouth while her hand caressed the other. Alex's legs wrapped even more firmly around Olivia, pulling her closer to her center. Olivia pushed harder into her to create more friction.
Olivia then moved back slightly, causing Alex to whimper momentarily. She then started kissing down Alex's stomach, leaving her hands to caress and squeeze Alex's hard nipples. Alex's hands were running through Olivia's hair, tugging slightly. She felt her core getting warmer and wetter the closer Olivia got. When Olivia reached to unbutton Alex's pants, it sent a wave through her, her core throbbing.
Olivia lifted Alex up slightly to push her pants down. She then moved her mouth down to Alex's knees. It's not where Alex wanted her mouth, but she knew Olivia knew just how to touch her and when. Olivia slowly worked her lips up Alex's inner thighs, caressing Alex's stomach with her hands.
Olivia felt Alex trembling in her thighs and decided she needed to speed things up. She reached up and quickly pulled Alex's panties down, nearly ripping them on the way down, and eliciting a gasp from Alex. She gently rubbed her fingers around Alex's core, making sure she was ready for more contact.
"God, you're so wet," Olivia said.
"Can you blame me?" Alex said. "I mean, we're about to screw on our dining room table."
Olivia smiled. It was hot, and one of the few places in their apartment that had never had sex. She finally plunged two fingers inside of Alex, thrusting gently at first, and watching the look on Alex's face when she finally got the contact she so desperately needed.
Olivia kept going at a steady pace until she felt Alex tighten up against her fingers. She then leaned down and began to lick around Alex's pussy, and gently grazing her clit only every now and then.
"More, Olivia, please," Alex gasped. "Please, I need your tongue."
Olivia plunged in, keeping her fingers thrusting inside Alex, just at a faster pace. She began to give Alex the direct contact she needed on her clit, circling it and alternating the pressure from her tongue.
Olivia kept going, picking up the pace even faster as the moans from Alex increased in volume. Alex's hips began to buckle, and Olivia knew she was close. She inserted a third finger and went all in on Alex's clit, giving direct hard stimulation with her tongue, lick and sucking, until she felt (and heard) Alex explode.
"Liv! Liv! Liv! OOOLIVIA!" Alex screamed, as she grasped the sides of the table and began to jerk her hips up.
Even after her orgasm, Alex kept trembling in after waves. Olivia gently brought her down before removing contact from her. She used her mouth to lick Alex clean and kissed her at her core on more time before pulled Alex up to where she was standing now, still between Alex's legs.
"Liv, that was, uh, wow," Alex said. "Amazing."
"You liked it, huh?" Olivia smiled.
"We definitely need to have dessert in the dining room more often," Alex said.
"Can I have my ice cream now?" Olivia teased.
"Not a chance," Alex said. "I have something even sweeter in mind for you."
Alex got up from the table, still naked, and pulled Olivia into the bedroom, both with a matching goofy smiles on their face.
