Chapter 20

Lemon warning!

221B 1/2 Baker Street

Basil and Olivia made it back to the house, the hunger inside the detective was irritating him, but he swore to be gentle. Once they enter inside, Olivia wanted to shed her clothes.

"Can you help? I have a bad itch on my back," she said and he takes her upstairs. Once they were inside his bedroom, he helps her out of her clothes and even her corset.

"Elliott, I can sense that emotion from last night," she whispers and he nods. He kisses her and this time, Olivia forces her tongue into his mouth, making him beg for more. Before he sheds his clothes, Basil quickly closes the drapes, blocking the sunlight, but he didn't want any curious eyes looking in.

Olivia takes his clothes off, scattering them on the floor like before and sees his erect member. "God, I love you Olivia," he moans and places her on the bed. He checks the drawers for a case of condoms. "I'm going to have to stock up soon," he said and slips one on.

He bends down and has Olivia's legs enclose him around his waist. He enters her with one smooth thrust and with that, he continues moving into Olivia, his body overwhelmed with a sense of love and duty to her.

Since they made love twice before, this time was a little different, it was slow, but it gave them time to enjoy it. Basil looks down at Olivia with his green eyes and she was looking back at him, her hands on his rib cage.

The bed creaks and the two let out gasps of air that turn to moaning. Olivia's brain then calls out to her, a climax was coming. "No..." she pleads, she didn't want it to end.

"I know..." Basil whispers, "I feel it too." He continues to thrust gently into her, his brain telling him of the oncoming climax.

"Can you...speed up...a little...?" she asks and he increases his speed. Olivia's vagina was closing in on Basil's cock. "Go...faster..." she pleads and he obeys. Their moaning got louder and Basil's hunger for Olivia was being satisfied once again.

He notices that Olivia was tightening her grip on the fur of his rib cage and her moans fueled his urge to complete their love making. His final thrusts were fast and a bit violent, but it satisfied both him and Olivia. Like the last two times, Basil feels the release of his seed, but the condom stopped it.

The detective stays inside Olivia for a few extra seconds before breaking the connection. After removing his cock, he takes off the condom and throws it into the waste basket.

"Will Mrs. Judson be angry if she sees those?" Olivia asks, but Basil shrugs.

"If she does get angry, then I'll have to have you save me," he said and lies next to her. "I agree that sex should be allowed to be engaged before marriage," he adds and encloses her in his arms.

"Elliott, where did you get those condoms?" Olivia asks.

"My brother Oscar," he answers and adds, "He was or I should say is still much in love with his wife, so the first few times they had sex, Oscar just stock piled a bit. When they had their last child, my young niece, he gave them to me. I was told to keep them in a cool and clean place, so no breakage would happen. I did throw away those that looked rotten.

"I didn't engage in any love making since university, but I guess now I put them to good use," Basil finishes and feels Olivia snuggle against his chest.

"Elliott, what did Mrs. Silverman tell you?" she asks.

"She told me that there is no such thing as a "perfect" relationship," he begins and she listens. "I hate to think that we will argue, but she said we will experience disagreements between one another and she said that some arguments will feel like our relationship is ending."

"But I don't want us to be apart," Olivia said, lifting her head up to look at him, and he nods.

"I know, but she said it is normal to feel such ugly feelings," Basil replies and notices Olivia's eyes were glistening with tears. "Don't be upset my dear," he said, "I know we can and will work things out between us." He then notices his tear ducts threatening to burst. "Oh drat! Now I'm going to cry."

Olivia laughs at this and he then chuckles. "I must say, Mrs. Silverman is one great teacher," Basil said and she nods.

"Um...how about we talk about the little details about us?" she asks.

"Like what?" he replies.

"Like your birthday? Where were you born? And such," she asks, again.

"All right, you want me to go first?" he said and she nods.

"I was born on November 28th, 1871 in my mother's room here," he answers and Olivia's brain begins to calculate.

"So you were roughly 15 when I was born," she said and he looks at her in surprise.

"Oh yes, I was 25 when I first met you. Let's see June 20th, 1897? You were 10?" Basil asks and she nods, but then asks again, "You were born...I'm sorry, I never got a birthday."

"June 19th," she replies and Basil's jaw drops.

"So that Fidget took your father on the night of your 10th birthday? That scoundrel!" he replies and Olivia laughs.

"So you became a detective at what age?" she asks, again.

"I did start an apprenticeship before graduating university, so roughly 19 or 20," he answers. Olivia then caresses the top of his head in a loving gesture.

"You must've been very smart at a young age. Still are I should say," she said and then, Basil places a soft hand on her cheek.

"You too young lady," he replies, but then begins to chuckle when a memory begins to play in his mind.

"What's so funny?" she asks.

"Just thinking of the time Fidget kidnapped you. I was able to pinpoint Ratigan's hideout above The Rat Trap Tavern. Before Fidget showed up, this lady mouse began to sing to calm those rowdy male mice in the tavern and then, she took off her clothes," Basil explains and Olivia lets out a gasp. "No, not all of them, but it was quite a spectacle. Dawson did put on a show and danced with those ladies on stage because he was drugged. Then, he landed on the piano and the pianist was not happy, he almost hit him with a club, but he missed and hit this bigger mouse and then it was an all out brawl," he said and Olivia laughs at this.

"That must've been funny, but also scary," she replies and he gives a slight nod. He begins to replay the memories of the Flaversham case, he did wonder when he began to develop feelings for Olivia. "You're thinking again, about what?" she asks.

"Trying to pinpoint the exact time when I started having feelings for you," Basil replies and Olivia smiles at this. "I think it was when you were kidnapped by Fidget in the toy shop, but I didn't exactly accept them until you were kidnapped again by that Ratigan."

"Oh Elliott, daddy was right," Olivia said and he nods. "Wait a minute," she said, the memory of her being in Ratigan's hideout was playing in her mind. "You were actually trying to free me from that bottle, but Fidget was in there," she adds.

"Yes, I was quite surprised," Basil said and a sense of peace came over him, he loved reliving the Flaversham case.

"Elliott," Olivia said and he looks at her, "I guess it's late for this, but I really missed you during those ten years."

"I've missed you too my love," Basil replies and they decided to take a little nap before partaking in any activities for the rest of the day.

An hour later, Basil and Olivia dress in their normal clothes, but also wearing their signature robes. Olivia was beginning to like wearing the late Mrs. Basil's soft blue robe. Basil goes down to the kitchen to use the telephone.

"Who are you calling?" Olivia asks.

"My family, I thought you would like to meet them, tonight at least, seeing you and I will be leaving Sunday and we should pack what we need," Basil replies and she nods. She decides to clean the pot of soup she left in the sink this morning and listens to Basil's conversation.

"Oscar, yes it's me Elliott...I know...we haven't spoken but...what? In the paper! How long...Margaret stopped by the...oh wonderful! So they published it early! I see...listen I want you, your family and our sisters to come visit. Yes, she's here. All right, we'll see you soon," Basil then hangs up the ear piece.

"What was that about?" Olivia asks and sees the smile on his face.

"My sister-in-law was passing by your school and the students were handing out your friend's article about us. Well, Oscar told everyone and they seem ecstatic, so they will be coming over soon," he replies.

"Oh wow! Claudia must've wanted it published before the weekend! She is really good at writing news stories," she said and Basil steps in to help clean the pot.

"I hope you make that soup again, I was disappointed that we didn't finish," he said and she looks at him.

"Will it turn you on like before?" she asks with a chuckle.

"I hope so," he replies and they share a kiss.

A little later, there was a knock at the door and Basil opens it to reveal his family. Oscar and Margaret, his older brother and sister-in-law, Penelope and Emma, his twin sisters, Alice and Rose, his nieces, and Hugo and Sebastian, his two nephews.

Olivia was a bit overwhelmed to meet Basil's siblings, but they were kind and welcoming. "Congratulations Elliott, from what I remember about you talking about her, she is a good fit for you," Oscar said.

"Try to keep his sanity intact," one of the twin sisters said. Olivia had a hard time telling the two sisters apart, they were identical after all.

"I'm sorry, but how do I tell you apart?" she asks, curiously. The sisters giggle and one of them shows her left hand, revealing a port wine birth mark on her palm.

"I'm Emma and I'm the youngest twin," she explains and the other twin, Penelope shows her hands, no birthmarks on them. Olivia notices Sebastian standing next to Penelope.

"Oh, and Sebastian must be your son," Olivia said and Penelope nods.

"He's got his mother's wits," Emma said, "But he's got my attitude for sure." Their brothers laugh at this. Once they settle in the living room, each sibling tells Olivia of their occupation. Oscar was a medical doctor, like Dawson, but he performed procedures at one of the best hospitals in London. His wife Margaret was a stay at home mother, caring for their three children, Hugo, Alice and Rose.

Penelope was married for a short time, but she lost her husband in a shipwreck. She stayed with her sister Emma, while caring for her son, Sebastian. They were part of a women's writing group, often traveling to other parts of the world with Sebastian and write in newspapers about the conditions that foreign mice were struggling under the rule of the British government.

"So Sebastian must've seen a lot," Olivia said and the two sisters nod.

"I've seen a lot of little kids that have a hard time finding enough to eat," Sebastian said and adds, "I would like to return to India and help them gain independence."

"Let's not discuss politics," Margaret insists and reveals the school's newspaper. It showed a picture of Basil and Olivia, with Olivia showing the ring on her finger. The headline read: GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE ENGAGED!

The article discussed the relationship of Basil and Olivia, how they first met, the recent case they went through, and of the wedding details, although it said, "At this time, Mr. Basil and Miss Flaversham have not decided on an actual date or destination. One thing's for sure, the two wish to make a full commitment by the end of this school year."

"Why don't we talk about a date?" Oscar asks.

"Well Olivia is finishing the semester at the college, I think maybe after her final exams," Basil said to his brother and Olivia begins to think.

"Final exams will be split between the first and second week of December, I'm thinking two of mine will be during the first and the other two in the second," she replies and the two sister became elated.

"A Christmas wedding! That will be exciting!" Emma exclaims.

"CHRISTMAS!" Rose shouts, she was roughly three, so a child her age would be excited. Basil fishes out a calendar for December and he and Olivia look it over.

"Don't pick the 13th," Oscar warns and the two look to see that December had Friday the 13th. It was a silly superstition, but probably be safe to skip that.

"What do you think Olivia?" Basil asks and she points to two days, the 17th and 18th. Basil circles them with a pen.

Just then, there were shouts and screams coming from outside. "AWAY YOU ANNOYING BASTARDS!" it was Mrs. Judson and Basil looks at the clock, it was about 8 in the evening, he had forgotten that time slipped away.

The door bursts open and Dr. Dawson and Mrs. Judson scramble inside, shutting the door tight. The two were shocked to see the rest of the Basil family. "Oh my dears! I wasn't expecting you!" Mrs. Judson exclaims.

"How are you doing, Mrs. Judson?" Oscar asks, helping her up.

"What was happening out there?" Emma asks and peeks out the window. There were reporters out there. "I think your friend's article got everyone's attention," she adds and the two peek out.

"Might as well face the tide," Basil said and removes his robe. He offers Olivia his hand and she takes it, but removes the robe to reveal a simple soft green dress. They open the door and flashes from cameras went off. Basil gently pushes the reporters, urging them to give them room.

"Mr. Basil! Is it true that you are engaged to Miss Flaversham? The lady mouse you met ten ago?" one of the reporters asks.

"Yes, this is all true," Basil replies and the reporters wrote it on their notepads.

"But why?" another asks.

"We fell in love," Olivia answers and tells them of Basil's bravery and determination of wanting to solve her father's murder.

"Of course, Olivia here is also brave," Basil answers. The crowd of reporters nod in agreement and some gave awes.

"Have you decided a wedding date yet?" another reporter asks.

"We did choose the 17th and 18th of December, so haven't picked which one," Olivia answers.

"And where will you have the wedding?" the same reporter asks.

"Still haven't decided, we're thinking between here in London and Olivia's hometown in Linlithgow," Basil replies and a few reporters scratch their heads in confusion.

"Linlithgow? Is that up in Scotland?" someone asks.

"Yes, it's in West Lothian," Olivia answers and the reporters wrote that down. Basil decides that it was enough for the night and gently escorts Olivia back into the house, while a few reporters were still shouting questions.

"Oh I hate reporters! Like a swarm of flies to a carcass!" Mrs. Judson shouts and Emma watches from the window, seeing that the reporters were leaving.

"I have a feeling that your engagement will be front page news," Oscar said and then asks Basil, "But aren't you afraid that some criminal will try and hurt Olivia?"

"If someone dares touch a hair on her, then I will-" "No Elliott, you are not going to kill anyone," Olivia calmly tells him and he takes a deep breath.

"Kill? Elliott, you're not the killing type, are you?" Penelope asks her brother. Basil has them sit down as he and Olivia explain the first night of the case, of going to Mr. Flaversham's toy shop and the two criminals who had attempted to rape Olivia.

"Oh I would do the same if someone vulgar touches a hair on my Margaret and children," Oscar said, placing a protective hand on his wife.

Olivia notices Basil's body begin to shake, he was thinking of that night, seeing Olivia lie on the muddy ground in the alley, her coat torn open and his mind seething with rage.

"You know what this calls for?" Penelope asks and opens the door to where the Basil's family mementos were. She returns with a bottle of red wine, dating back to 1891. Basil's 20th birthday year.

The bottle was opened and the adults toasted for the engaged couple. Olivia then feels a new sense in her body, acceptance. Basil's family had accepted her and she felt good about it.

A few hours later, the siblings and the youngsters decided to leave. "Keep us posted," Penelope said and kisses Olivia's cheek. Once the house was calm, again, Olivia and Basil explain their plans about the semester and his desire to be close by.

"I can understand why," Mrs. Judson said.

"I'll call you Dawson if there is a case to be solved," Basil said to his partner, who nods.

Then Basil and Olivia went upstairs towards his bedroom, but stop to look at Mrs. Judson, wondering if she'll object.

The housekeeper looks back at them. "Go on you two, you are a couple now. Couples sleep together, don't they?" she asks and they look at each other with a smile. They then went to Basil's bedroom and shut the door.

They dress in night clothes, but they didn't do any love making, except for the regular kissing and touching. Basil begins to think of this semester for Olivia, he was going to miss her during the regular class hours, but somehow they will try and make it work.


From the author: So more talk, but we get to meet the rest of Basil's family. You might be asking how will things work between Olivia and Basil when she returns to school? You're just going to have to wait. See you soon!
