Chapter 26:
ALEX POV:
"Hey love." I say to her in a soft tone.
"Hi babes." She looks at me and smiles.
"How are you feeling?" I ask concerned.
"I'm feeling good." Benson can mask her face better than anyone. Even though she is a master at that I can always see the reaction before she gets a chance to mask what she is feeling. Her eyes can never lie to me.
"Everything is good, although it would be great if you would like to kiss me today." Right there as the word good rolls off of her tongue her eyes flash a sign of uncertainty. It doesn't seem too bad so if she would like to talk to me about it she can but I won't press.
"Well since you put it that way." I lean down and she rests her good hand on my cheek as I press my lips to hers.
Once I pull back her honey brown eyes are incredibly darker than their normal shade of caramel. She bits her lower lip, I know she wants more but being as injured as she is that is probably not the greatest of ideas at the moment.
"I know what you're thinking but you literally just got out of the hospital. Give it a few days Liv."
"Fine, but it's not my fault that you look good enough to eat." She replies to me while pouting.
I take a sharp breath and think to myself. She is not going to make this easy for me at all.
"Pout all you want Olivia but I sincerely doubt that you want to end up back in the hospital."
"You're mean!" She says to me as she sticks out her tongue.
"Very mature love but if you stop pouting maybe I will come over there and kiss you." I raise my eyebrow and smile.
"Is that a promise?"She smiles back.
"Of course it is but you have to promise that you will stop pouting. And if I do come over there and kiss you but you decide to pout after that then you won't get any more kisses."
"How is that fair? Cause if you kiss me I'll be happy but when I find a reason that I need to pout for and I can't, that's almost entrapment."
"Wow that was a big word. Have you been hanging out with lawyers lately." I smirk as I see her blush.
"I mean yea she's really kind and beautiful. And even if we don't think so she finds herself funny."
"Huh? She sounds great!"
"Fine I won't pout but this better be one hell of a kiss."
I walk over to her and place both of my hands on the sides of her face and bring my lips just centimeters away. I look into her beautiful pools of brown. It is at moments like this that everything in life is okay, because as long as I have her nothing could be wrong.
I push my lips further until our lips are connected.I feel her grab my hand and intertwine our fingers. God I love this woman. Our lips are playing this sensual dance and it moves to match the beats of two hearts together. I could not imagine my life without her, she makes the world go round.
I feel her tongue begging for entrance into my mouth but I feel like I should tease just a little bit. She sucks my bottom lip in between her teeth and nips slightly. I could feel her smile against me and I know I should put a stop to this but honestly she feels so damn good. Her other hand wonders around my midriff just above the button on my pants. It slips underneath my shirt and I shudder but not because her hands are cold. It is because it has been so long since I have felt her touch and I gasp as her tongue starts to play with mine.
I pull back and look into her eyes to say, "You, Olivia Benson, are completely intoxicating."
"You could say the same thing about yourself Cabot, I could get lost in these blue eyes."
"Don't get too lost. I happen to love you a lot."
"Okay I guess I can do that."
"Thank you." I press a quick peck to her lips and stand up to straighten my outfit. I hear her groan.
"Come on that's all I am going to get right now."
"Yes love you need to rest, cause I can already hear you now complaining about everything under the sun because you're in pain, bored, hungry, horny, or tired."
"I am not that bad," She protests but her partner comes into the room.
"Yes Liv, yes you are." Elliot says to her.
"Whatever." And with that she finds a window to look out of.
"Looking for something babe?"I ask.
"No just figuring out how I am not supposed to pout."
"Well if you just want to be negative about everything I will have someone else tend to you."
"Hey that's not fair, they're not gonna be nice to look at."
"Exactly, so then everything will be as negative as you make it seem."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean all you've done since we left the hospital is complain about everything. And all I've tried to do is make sure everything is running smoothly for you to recover."
"I'm sorry, I haven't exactly been the most understanding person to deal with."
"It's alright, I am just asking you to work with me. I'm not going to do anything that puts you in danger and I am just trying to get you to recover."
"Alright I will work with you love."
I look at her and smile as her eyes softly close, I know this is going to be a long road but I won't let her down.
"I can feel you staring at me over there Alexandra."
"I do love when you call me Alexandra."
"I thought you hated when people call you Alexandra."
"I do but when you say it I can't help but melt."
