A/N: I'm bored out of my mind, so here is another story for you guys with more to come soon. Contrary to popular belief, us introverts DO get cabin fever and go stir crazy. I want out of my house right now! Send me back to work, I'm begging you!

Also, I am running out of ways for Alex to get in trouble. After this story, I have two more A/O requests that I have to get to, but after that I will be stuck. If you have any suggestions, feel free to tell me. If you have a request that isn't A/O, feel free to tell me that too. A/O always has been and always will be my personal favorite pairing, but I am also working on several stories that explore other pairings. A surprising number of you have asked to see an Olivia/Elliot pairing with Olivia in the submissive role. Also on my list is another Olivia/Kat story, another Olivia/Amanda story, plus another story in the 'Mommy' series, another update for 'Taken Away', a way, way, WAY, WAAAAAAYYYYYY overdue update for 'Abbie's Ghost', and more. So all of you lucky people have several things to look forward to in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for the fun!

"Hey, hon, I need you to-"

Olivia stopped in her tracks when she let herself into Alex's office with a small stack of files in her arms and was greeted by the sight of Alex bent across her desk with her skirt up and panties down, being caned on her bare bottom by Liz Donnelly. The four fresh cane marks on Alex's delicate skin indicated that her punishment was just getting started. Liz startled at the unexpected intrusion, but quickly regained her composure, lowering the cane to her side. With tears streaming down her face, Alex blushed sixteen shades of red and buried her face in her arms in embarrassment. Of course Olivia had seen her bare bottom before, but being caught by her wife in the middle of a punishment given by someone else's hand was humiliating for her.

"Captain Benson, if you'll please step aside and wait for a moment, Alexandra and I will settle this matter and then I'm sure she will be happy to help you with whatever you need." Liz stated in her typical stern fashion.

Olivia immediately closed the door to protect Alex from any stray eyes that may be lurking in the relatively empty hallway and obediently stepped to the side to wait. She winced as she watched Alex accept the rest of her caning with the submissive grace that Olivia had lovingly trained into her and it made Olivia burst with pride for her sweet little Alex. Alex was sobbing quietly, trying with all her might not to make too much noise even though it was excruciatingly painful. At home, Alex knew that she was allowed to be vocal about the pain and she had absolutely no problem freely showing her emotions in front of Olivia, having been held and cuddled in Olivia's arms while she sobbed and wailed countless times after spankings over the years. Here at work, she wanted to preserve at least some of her dignity in front of her boss. When it was finally over, Alex stood up and very carefully pulled up her panties and smoothed down her pencil skirt, her shoulders wracked with silent sobs as she turned to face Liz.

"I will not tolerate such nonsense out of you, Alexandra. I suggest you straighten up and quickly if you desire to avoid further chastisement. This matter is settled as far as I'm concerned, so I'll leave you to speak with Captain Benson." Liz breezed out of the room, cane in hand, closing the door behind her.

As soon as Liz left the room, Alex allowed herself to sob harder as she reached around to gingerly rub the seat of her skirt, not quite sure what to do with herself. At home, Alex was not allowed to rub her sore bottom after a spanking, but Olivia didn't have the heart to scold her for it and decided to just let it slide this time. She didn't yet know what Alex had done to earn such a punishment, but she decided that explanations could wait for a little while. Her sweet baby was very upset and in that moment Alex needed to be comforted rather than scolded. Alex accepted scoldings and communicated her point of view much better when she was at least relatively calm.

"Come here, angel. Let me see." Olivia put her stack of files on Alex's desk, locked the door to give them privacy, and sat down on Alex's desk chair.

Alex obediently bent over Olivia's lap, doubled over with her feet on the floor behind her and her hands on the floor in front of her to balance her. Alex much preferred to be over Olivia's lap stretched out on the couch or on the bed. It was more comfortable on the body and for Alex it offered more emotional support and security. Of course Alex knew full well that after a spanking was over Olivia would immediately scoop her up to love on her and baby her, but being bent across the bed, or desk, or doubled over as she was now somehow felt very mechanical to her. Alex wriggled for a brief moment to shift Olivia's knee out of her stomach and then calmed her movements. Olivia lifted Alex's skirt and pulled down her panties.

"Ouch." Olivia sympathized, gently gliding her hand across Alex's red bottom, carefully inspecting the marks. Alex would be perfectly fine in a day or two, but Olivia was very protective and seeing marks on Alex that had been left by someone else would always irritate her a little no matter how deserved the punishment was.

"Yeah." Alex agreed, whimpering through her tears.

"All right, up you come, baby. You can sit on my lap while we talk, or if it hurts too much you can kneel like you do at home sometimes. It's your choice." Olivia pulled Alex's panties back into place and smoothed down her skirt again.

It didn't take long for Alex to make her decision as she slid from Olivia's lap to kneel on the floor. She adored being held on Olivia's lap, but for the moment she was simply too sore to even consider sitting down. She was already trying to figure out how to accomplish the rest of her day without having to sit at her desk.

"Okay, little one. The scene I walked in on was the last thing I expected to find when I came to see you today. Tell me what happened, please." Olivia ordered kindly.

"Casey and I had a disagreement about a case. We got kind of loud and when Liz told us to stop arguing Casey flipped her off and I told her to screw off. Liz dealt with me first and Casey's in her office waiting for her."

"I see. You know that Liz is not my favorite person, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't deserve respect. If I told you to stop doing something, would you tell me to screw off?"

"No, Ma'am." Alex responded with wide eyes, knowing full well that Olivia would quite possibly literally kill her if she dared to be so very disrespectful.

"I don't think you would either, because you know much better than that. I expect you to show our colleagues the same respect you show me. The rules still apply here at work, not just when we're at home. Understood?"

"Yes, Ma'am." Alex nodded.

"That's my good girl." Olivia praised.

"Liv, are you going to spank me again?" Alex asked cautiously.

"Yes, but not right now. Later tonight, at home. I think your little bottom has suffered enough for the moment."

"Please don't!" Alex pleaded fearfully, fresh tears welling in her eyes.

"Come sit, sweetheart. Very carefully." Olivia patted her lap.

Alex practically jumped into the safety of Olivia's arms and held on for dear life. Olivia cuddled her close and spoke to her gently, stroking Alex's long blonde hair to soothe her. Alex knew full well that Olivia would never harm her, but the thought of taking a second punishment on top of what she just got was too much for her to handle at the moment. Of course she would accept the spanking as gracefully as possible, but taking it gracefully didn't mean she had to like it.

"It's going to be all right, baby, I promise. Do you remember why we made the 'spanked at work, spanked at home' rule?"

"Because my bottom rightfully belongs only to you." Alex sounded completely sure of herself and Olivia grinned.

"Well, that is true. This beautiful backside is mine and I won't let anyone else have what is mine. There are other reasons, though. One of them being that you are a professional and your behavior reflects back on your job. We had this discussion way back in college. People won't want to hire you as their lawyer if your behavior is out of control. You do amazing work in that courtroom and I don't want to see your career ruined over an attitude issue."

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. I messed up again." Alex's lower lip trembled.

"You did mess up a little bit, but I don't want you kicking yourself over it for the rest of the day. You are a human being and you are allowed to make mistakes just like everyone else. Twenty-one years ago you asked me for help in certain areas of your life and we've spent a lot of time correcting those issues over the years. I never have and I never will expect you to be perfect. All you have to do is be the best version of yourself that you can be and that makes me very proud. My job is to love you unconditionally and part of loving you is correcting your behavior when necessary. So let's drop the issue for right now and dry those pretty eyes, hmm?"

"What was it that you needed when you came in?" Alex changed the subject, standing up from Olivia's lap to retrieve a tissue to dry her eyes.

"We have probable cause to search Alan Leighton's property, we just need you to get us the warrant. We also need your signature on a couple of forms." Olivia turned to the stack of files she had left on Alex's desk.

"The signatures I can help you with right now. Petrovsky isn't here today. It's her day off, so I'll have to have someone track her down for your warrant. What's your probable cause?" Alex picked up a pen.

After Olivia left, Alex sent another ADA to get the warrant from Lena Petrovsky. Alone in her office, Alex gazed out her window, reaching back to rub her bottom again. She understood why Olivia would be spanking her again that evening. She just prayed that whatever Olivia was going to do to her wasn't going to be too painful. It always amazed Alex that even though she had been spanked, paddled, caned, strapped, and whipped on her tender bare bottom with various implements over the years ranging in severity from Olivia's hand to the cane, she never seemed to quite get used to the pain. At times it felt like she was getting punished every day, but in reality Alex spent more time over Olivia's lap for reasons other than punishment, such as stress relief or just playful fun, or because one or both of them were simply in the mood for a spanking. Punishments and stress relief spankings always ended in tears, whereas playful spankings ended in fits of giggles. 'Just because' spankings could go either way depending on Alex's mental and emotional state at the time. And of course there was a special category for 'good girl' spankings that ended with an orgasm. Each category of spanking was clearly defined so that Alex wouldn't get confused and have an orgasm during a punishment, which would defeat the entire purpose of the punishment. Alex was pulled out of her thoughts when her phone began to ring. The blonde ADA managed to put her impending spanking out of her mind and turned to get back to work.

Alex was the first to arrive home that evening so she decided to start making dinner. She was almost finished when Olivia got there. Olivia walked up behind Alex and wrapped her arms around her, kissing the side of Alex's face and dancing her nails across Alex's tickle spot.

"Eek!" Alex giggled, squirming to try and get away.

"Something smells good." Olivia commented.

"I'm making chicken fried rice. It's nearly ready, so stop tickling me and go wash up." Alex demanded playfully and shrieked when Olivia picked her up like a sack of potatoes and carried her off to the bedroom where she set Alex down on her feet.

"I know you don't want to, but we're going to get your spanking over with right now before we eat so that we can just relax and enjoy the rest of our evening." Olivia told her, sitting down on the bed.

"Yes, Ma'am." Alex sighed, walking over to stand in front of Olivia without a fight.

"Good girl. Just a little spanking with my hand, a few swats with the hairbrush, and we'll be done." Olivia told her, pulling Alex's jeans and panties down to her knees.

In the hours since her caning, Alex's bottom had cooled off significantly so it was only tender at this point rather than painful. Olivia had no intention of being hard on Alex. The caning was more than enough for Alex to learn her lesson, Olivia just wanted to reinforce it to ensure that it never happened again. The brunette detective guided her pretty blonde wife across her lap and immediately brought her hand down sharply, wanting to get this over with as soon as possible. Even a hand spanking was excruciatingly painful over her cane marks so Alex set to crying very quickly. Olivia spanked her for less than five minutes before reaching over to the bedside table and picking up the hairbrush. She brought it down on Alex's red bottom ten times and then threw it down. Olivia scooped Alex into her arms and settled her on her lap for their usual post-spanking cuddle. Olivia hadn't been able to baby Alex properly after her caning so she was going to do so now no matter how much time it took.
