Animals- Maroon 5
Okay, so this is a request, and I hope you guys like it. This is E/O.
Elliot knew better, he knew at any moment Olivia could turn around and see him. He wasn't discreet, how could he be when he was looking at the backside of Olivia Benson. They had just had a case where the perp had threatened Olivia imparticular. He said, "If I go down, you go down."
Olivia wasn't too worried, but everyone in the station took it as a credible threat. Cragen had asked Olivia to have a detail, but she refused. He was believable enough for Fin to even question if she should go home alone. Olivia sighed, they were done for the day, and Olivia headed out the door. Don looked into Elliot's eyes and nodded his head. Elliot grabbed his jacket and took off after her. He knew her routine it was Thursday night, she would walk home, maybe stopping at a coffee shop or a bar along the way. He spotted her walking down the street about ½ a block ahead, and he moved quickly to keep up with her.
Soon enough Olivia reached a bar that both he and Olivia knew well. Joe's bar and grill. Elliot didn't want to ruin her good time. He knew she would cuss him out as soon as she saw him. So like a criminal, he stalked her. He knew he should just go in explain himself but, maybe Olivia was right, and this guy was just a coward with a lot of words.
He looked through the glass to see her sitting at the bar. She was poised. She was talking to the bartender. Her smile didn't reach her eyes, but it was still beautiful. He noticed a man sit down next to her and stared intently, not caring if anyone noticed. Olivia was looking at the man smiling. This time her smile did make it to her eyes. He had said something to get her to feel this way. Elliot couldn't help but scowl.
They had been partners for years. Kathy had divorced him; it has been finalized for months. Some days he wanted to take Olivia into his arms and kiss her, hold her. He wanted nothing more than to be hers, but he knew that she would never see him like that. She held his marriage closer than he did, and he wasn't sure why that was. Olivia seemed angry when he announced the divorce was final.
They were still Elliot and Olivia, since then, but something seemed slightly off. He couldn't pin it. Maybe it was the fact he was seeing her more than a woman than a partner these days. He sighed at his thoughts and tried to focus in again on Olivia and the mystery man's conversation. He saw Olivia frown and caused him to enter the bar. He still couldn't tell what the man was saying, but Olivia was obviously discussed by the attempt.
The seat on the other side of Olivia was empty, and Elliot sat down in it. Olivia hadn't paid close attention, and when she turned back and noticed her partner beside her, every emotion played out on her face. First, she was angry, then she was sympathetic. She knew precisely why he was there, he was afraid for her.
"Hey." Elliot said simply.
"El, if I needed a baby sitter, I would have asked for one." Olivia claimed.
"I know, but I can't Olivia, I can't let you go out there when that man threatened you," Elliot claimed.
"El, do you know how many times men say crazy things to me, and not only at work. I can handle myself." Olivia claimed.
"I know but it's always better when there is someone else to have your back." Elliot mentioned.
"You're right," Olivia claimed.
"Sorry if I ruined a date," Elliot said perfectly knowing he didn't.
"Yeah well, you didn't." Olivia claimed.
"Well I guess I'll have whatever you're having." Elliot mentioned.
Olivia signaled the bartender ordering Elliot's drink. They sat there in comfortable silence, only having 2 drinks before Elliot mentioned "getting her home."
Olivia agreed, and the 2 walked side by side down the streets towards her apartment.
Olivia allowed Elliot in.
"Listen I know you're just trying to keep me safe El, but I'm gonna be fine," Olivia promised.
Elliot sighed. He didn't want to leave her just yet, and not because he thought she was danger. He honestly missed hanging out outside of work. Before the divorce, it was a semi-regular occurrence, and now Elliot couldn't think of a single time they hung out together.
"Liv can we just hang out like we used too?" Elliot asked.
Olivia frowned.
"I'm sorry El I know I haven't been the best friend you needed lately." Olivia admitted.
"I'm not blaming you, Liv, it's just we haven't talked in a long time." Elliot mentioned. He put his hand on the back of the neck, not liking where the conversation was headed.
Olivia walked over to him and pushed his hand off his neck.
"Lets watch the game," Olivia claimed.
She turned on her TV.
She grabbed chips and dip. She put chicken wings in the oven, as well as french fries, and sat on the couch next to Elliot. Olivia sat closer to him than typical needing to feel his closeness like he mentioned they hadn't really been hanging out at all since the divorce. If Olivia had to admit it to herself, it was because she was afraid of what might slip out. She knew that he loved her, to what extent she didn't know. She knows if he hadn't been married, he would have been in bed with her long ago. She didn't know if that would amount to much, but they were both too curious of one another for that not have happened.
Over the years Olivia had seen him nearly naked, she didn't have to imagine much, and nor did he. There were multiple times he had touched her, seen her nearly naked in the crib, has role played to get out of something. She knew what his hands felt like, and she can't deny she has had a few fantasies of them in her bed. She physically shook her head to get her mind away from the sexually charged thoughts and try to pay attention to the basketball game on the TV.
Elliot started the conversation, he talked about his kids, he spoke about his new apartment and how odd it felt to go from a family of 6 to a single man in a studio apartment. Olivia knew he had a lot on his mind. She put her hand on his arm and rubbed it encouraging him to continue.
"I feel like I've lost everything, Liv, and I can't lose you too." Elliot admitted.
Olivia started at the man for a long time.
"El, you're not going to lose me," Olivia stated.
"How can you say that with all these criminals, threatening to take you away from me." Elliot asked.
That's when it hit her. Everything has been going on so fast in Elliot's life, and he is afraid that something is going to change with them too.
"El, I, we're going to be just fine," Olivia claimed.
She pulls herself closer to him, and he wraps his arm around the waist and pushes her body into his needing to feel her.
"I need you Liv." Elliot claimed.
"I need you to El." Olivia replied.
The two stay cuddled next to each other, and Olivia thought for sure she would feel uncomfortable huddled up next to him. Not that she didn't want this, but after so many years of restraint and longing, she thought she would be overthinking this, but it felt good.
The game ended, and if Olivia was asked who won, she couldn't say. She was lost in thought.
Elliot didn't want to leave. This was the greatest feeling he had felt in a long time Olivia Benson in his arms wasn't something he expected tonight. He knew this was nothing more than a cuddle to show that they cared for each other, that they were there for each other.
"El?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah." Elliot said.
"Stay a while?" Olivia asked.
She knew it was already getting late, she knew he should be headed home they have work in the morning, and they would be with each other all day, but she couldn't rip her arms away from his warmth. She missed him more than she realized even though he had been right in front of her the whole time.
Weeks past without incident, the man they put in jail for 10 years for statutory rape never made good on his promise. Olivia and Elliot were finding excuses to see each other outside of work, and more often than not, the 2 would come up with plans. Sometimes it included Munch and Fin, but most of the time, it was just the two of them. Eliott was going to see his kids that weekend. He was still involved going to games, school events helping with homework. Kathy hadn't banished him and allowed him to even spend the night from time to time. When Elliot wasn't with Olivia, he was with his kids, and sometimes Kathy.
It was Friday night and Olivia and Eliott made their way to his apartment. It was closer to the restaurant they had ended up going too. Olivia walked in, and Elliot let his messages play.
"Hey, Elliot, the kids are excited to see you tomorrow if you can make it before noon we can have lunch before Dickie's soccer game, see you soon." Kathy's voice echoed through the room with a tone that seemed to be sexual even though the words were the furthest from it.
"Are you still sleeping with her?" Olivia asked. It was a question she hadn't meant to speak out loud. She covered her mouth quickly when she heard her voice in her ears.
Elliot laughed.
"sounds like someone's jealous," Elliot claimed.
Olivia swallowed hard, and it didn't go unnoticed.
"You didn't say no." Olivia claimed. She felt like crying, even though they weren't together. She felt betrayed in some horrible way.
"I can't lie and say we didn't full around after we had already discussed the divorce, but she was my wife Liv, we haven't done anything since it was finalized.
Olivia nodded her head in relief.
"Liv?" Elliot asked, confused by the emotion coming from his partner.
This was it, Olivia walked up next to him and kissed him hard, her hands on his chest. She couldn't help but moan out at the connection they had. Elliot was allowing the kiss entering his tongue into her mouth. She knew they shouldn't be doing this. Cragen would kill them, and IAB would have a field day, but she pushed those thoughts away. Elliot had his hands under her shirt. His fingers outlining her bra. She wanted nothing more than for him to pull her shirt up, her pants down and put himself inside of her, but she was pretty sure Elliot Stabler wouldn't be doing that, so she had to take this in her own hands.
His eyes seemed to be questioning her.
"I want this." She said out loud.
Elliot smiled and nodded his head as if she had rendered him speechless, and he took off his shirt. Olivia did the same. The studio apartment allowed them just a few steps to make it to his bed. She pulled down her pants and Elliot undid his belt. It fell in a pool on the floor. They were left in their underwear.
Elliot had pulled at the clasp of Olivia's bra, and she nodded approval as he unclipped it. Gravity pushing pulling her breasts into Elliot's face. She moaned out in pleasure when he flicked one of her nipples. Olivia was feeling all over and ground her hips into Elliot feeling his erection.
"El, you sure about this?" Olivia asked.
He nodded his head.
They both felt drunk despite only drinking one glass of wine at dinner. They were intoxicating to each other, and in a blur, they were naked Elliot entering her before the thought of protection crossed her mind. It hit her though as far as she knew she was the first woman other than Kathy he had sex with. He was reaching for a proper angle, and she couldn't help but let out a squeal when he pushed into her, Olivia Benson was quite sure this was Heaven. They couldn't help but be rough and passionate with each other. She was sure she was going to Climax in the next minute or so, and Elliot wasn't too far behind they were both going so quick they could barely keep up. It felt like they were 2 animals locked away from each other waiting for this moment, and now that it was finally here, it couldn't happen quick enough.
Olivia and Elliot came down off their highs, and Olivia wondered if this was a mistake. The sex was terrific some of the best she had ever had, but was that because of how taboo it was. Would this last. Should they even be doing this? Her heart was racing for an entirely new reason. She felt panic all over but refused to show it. She simply turned over Elliot wrapped his arms around her protectively. She tried her best to keep her mind from running 1000 scenarios a minute, but she couldn't, and she laid in bed all night with no sleep as Elliot rested comfortably.
Elliot woke up the next morning with his arms around who he thought was Kathy for a a brief moment before the night before came rushing back to him and him couldn't believe that Olivia was in his bed. The sex had been incredible, just like everything else Olivia did it was full force and he wasn't sure if he could ever concentrate on another case again knowing what lies beneath the layers, she always wears to work. It was later in the morning than he wanted it to be.
The moment he moved Olivia did too. Sometime in the night, she must have pulled on her shirt and underwear, but he was still naked under the sheet. He got up dressed Olivia looking away. He smiled at her shyness.
"Hey, I have to get ready to go you're welcome to stay as long as you want, Liv." Elliot stated.
"No, I got to go, El go have fun with your kids. I'll see you Monday." Olivia claimed.
Pulling her pants on and wrapping her jacket tightly around her. She grabbed her purse and walked out the door quickly. She made it to her apartment in record time, almost running before she showered and fell asleep in her own bed until late afternoon.
Monday came and Olivia couldn't stop the 1000 thoughts rushing through her head. Elliot walked in a few minutes after her a broad smile on his face when he met her eyes. He asked if she had plans tonight, and even though she didn't she lied. Elliot knew it too.
"Liv can we talk?" Elliott asked.
"Not here." She hissed.
Elliot was shocked by her attitude but let it go, they had a case to follow up on.
The rest of the week slid by Elliott and Olivia were constantly arguing it was Thursday and Olivia and Elliot had both been sent home because of how much drama they had been causing. Olivia just looked at Elliot before taking off. She knew what she needed to do, she wasn't too proud to put distance between her and Elliot, and she needed someone else to get him off her mind. She was at Julio's a bar she had passed multiple times on her way home but never entered it seemed a little upscale for her wants tonight, but she definitely felt as though she needed to get drunk and hook up. She knew it wasn't a good idea, but she didn't care. Soon after her 2nd Jack and Coke, a man named Patrick, came up beside her. He seemed kind enough, a single man looking for a good time. She didn't think twice after 4th drink to ask him to come home with her. He agreed and followed her to her apartment. The sex wasn't mind-blowing, but it was really good. Patrick treated her well. He had asked if she would be interested in seeing him again, and when she said she didn't know, he didn't get too upset. He put his number in her phone and walked out of the apartment to a man about to knock on her door.
"Elliott?" Olivia choked.
Patrick looked over at her, wondering if she had lied about being single and whether or not he may die by the hands of this man.
"I'm a cop, he's my partner." Olivia answered the question. Patrick nodded.
"I'll see you around Olivia," Patrick stated, making Elliot eye the man.
Olivia knew he was pissed.
"I called you we have a case," Elliot claimed.
Olivia sighed.
"Give me just a minute."
Olivia took a quick shower not even waiting for the water to warm and forgoing her hair, she quickly got dressed and walked back out to her living room, grabbing her shoes and walking out the door with Elliot. The case was open and shut, Linda a 20 something was yelling for help when her landlord found Josiah Gregs on top of her penis exposed and him pulling at Linda's pants. Elliot and Olivia were doing the paperwork.
"You can't hide forever Liv." Elliot claimed out of the blue.
"Elliot, I have no clue what you're talking about." Olivia bit her lip.
"You can pretend all you want, Liv, I get it." Elliot claimed.
"I don't think you do." Olivia raised her voice.
"Then why don't you explain it to me?" Elliot asked.
"Not here, tonight, your place, okay?" Olivia stated not sure why she was willing to offer the man an explanation.
Elliot simply nodded.
Before Olivia could talk herself out of it she waited for Elliot to finish up and they walked in silence to his apartment.
"So what is it Liv?" Elliot asked angerly.
"Listen El, I don't think we should be doing this?" Olivia stated.
"Doing, what sleeping with each other, you made that pretty clear when I met Patrick." Elliott howled.
"I didn't mean for that to happen," Olivia claimed.
"What the sex, or for me to meet him," Elliot questioned.
Olivia looked down. She knew she hurt him bad.
"Pretend all you want, Liv, but don't act like that we weren't good, don't act like you can't get me out of your mind," Elliott screamed.
Olivia was shocked at his anger and outburst. She knew she hurt him, but she didn't realize how much.
"I'm sorry El, your right I used Patrick to try to forget and move on, I can't be like this with you here, and act like we hate each other at work." Olivia claimed.
Elliot looked at her, realizing that she honestly felt that way.
"Liv, I didn't mean for it to be like that, I was just so wrapped up in my need for you that I took it out on you," Elliot admitted.
Olivia looked up into his eyes and melted. He took the lead this time, kissing her, making her moan out in the familiar tone he kept in his mind, it seemed like forever ago. Olivia allowed him to strip the clothes off of her touching her everywhere. She couldn't get enough. His hands were all over her, and she was hyperaware of how close he was. She grabbed at him, nipped him with her teeth. He growled out in appreciation, and she was pretty sure she could never leave his apartment again to be happy.
He's rough with her, but not in a painful way it's exciting, and she needs him just as bad as he needs her, and when they finally finish after what feels like hours, she is exhausted. Olivia no longer feels the thoughts that were in her head before and wonders how much sleep she'll need before she can do this again.
