Chapter 12

Back in the hotel rooms they got ready for dinner. Liv was under the shower when the door opened and El entered the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Well, I thought we would be faster if we take a shower at the same time. So, here I am." Liv started to laugh.

"Sure, if that's the only reason, come on in." He stepped into the shower close to her and whispered in her ear, "I locked the connecting door, so there won't be any surprises." She turned around and kissed him.

"Detective Benson, what are you doing? We won't be faster if we do things like this." he said jokingly.

"Well, if you don't want to. It's okay for me if we just... " but she was interrupted by him pushing her against the wall. She breathed in sharply.

"Oh my god. Did I hurt you?" he asked worriedly.

"No, the wall is just cold." she said while kissing his neck.

"Do you wanna change?"

"Shut up and kiss me!" She said, pulling him closer.

"I love it when you are bossy!" He lifted her up and pressed her against the wall again. She moaned with pleasure while wrapping her legs around his waist.

"I want you… NOW!" she whispered in his ear. He smiled and gave her what she asked for. He started slowly but he could feel that she wanted more. So he moved faster. He could feel her fingernails on his back.

"Liv, I am not complaining or anything but your nails will leave marks on my back."

"Fuck, sorry. Just don't stop. I'm close." she said breathlessly. He speeded up again, trying to make them come together.

"Oh god, I'm so close. Don't stop! Don't stop!" And then they came together and Elliot had to put his hand over Liv's mouth because she was about to scream.

"I am sorry. I really need to control myself." she said after he let her down again.

"I am not complaining. Not at all but I couldn't risk the girls hearing you."

She hid her face.

"Oh god. No! It's just so fucking good I can barely hold it together."

This made him smile like he won the main prize. She had to smile too when she saw the pride on his face.

When they entered the hotel restaurant, El saw the young beach volleyball player from earlier. He stared at Liv like she was fresh meat. Elliot tried to ignore him because he knew Liv didn't like to be treated like she was helpless or needed protection. She could handle it all herself, so he suppressed his protective instinct. Rosie and her parents were there too and Rosie asked if Lola wanted to sit with them, she agreed and went with her.

Liv went to the salad bar. Suddenly she noticed someone standing close behind her. She turned around and saw the young beach volleyball player from earlier. No, please don't, she thought to herself. She looked over his shoulder and was glad that Elliot hasn't noticed them.

"Lucky me. Meeting you the second time today. I'm Josh." he said while winking at her. She smiled politely and said, "Hi. I am Olivia."

"Well, I don't know how you are connected to these people, Olivia" he pointed at El and Sarah, "but I would love to invite you to our table and later to our party." he said eagerly.

"Oh, thank you, but I have to decline your offer. I am pretty happy with my company." He looked at her disappointedly.

"If you like boring. Well, you have my number if you change your mind. I could rock your world." he said with a wink while touching her arm slightly.

"I won't, but thanks. And this boring guy over there, she pointed at El who looked at them sceptically, just fucked me senseless in the shower. So I am more than fine, thanks." When she walked past him she could see him biting his fist and mumbling a "DAMN!". She smiled and walked back to their table. El looked at her curiously but he contained himself. Sarah looked at Liv with huge eyes.

"Oh my god! What did he say?" she asked looking at Liv like she was an alien.

"Nothing special. He only invited me to their table and a party later." Liv said.

"This is so funny. A 26 year old, hot guy fancies my dad's girlfriend. This is just.. I can't. How do you feel dad? I bet this never happened while you were with mom. You never had to be afraid of other guys trying to steal her. It's different now, you better watch out." she said laughing.

"Oh my god, Sarah. What are you talking about? Don't say things like that!" Liv said, staggered.

"Don't get me wrong. I love mom and she is pretty but compared to you she is a 6 or sometimes a 7 but you are a 10+ like all the time. I mean every woman has to hate you." Liv looked at her unbelieving.

"Sarah, you really have to stop saying things like that. You could hurt people's feelings. It's not about the looks all the time. And your mom is a beautiful woman. Don't talk about her like that. Let us just stop talking about it all together, okay?"

"I can't believe how you can still talk about her like that? She treated you so badly. She doesn't deserve it! You should be pissed and mean!" Sarah said incredulously.

"Why should I do that? It won't change anything! And talking bad about your mother in front of you would make me look pretty fucked up." Sarah smiled.

"Yeah, you're right. I am sorry. But you're still a 10+ and dad is freaking lucky to have you."

Liv shook her head smiling. "You're incorrigible! But thank you."

Sarah looked at Elliot, "Don't you want to rebuke me too?" He just smiled.

"Why? I think Liv said everything that needed to be said."

"Urgh, I'll go get more food. The harmony between the two of you is unbearable!" she said jokingly.

Liv and El smiled. She knew he wanted to ask about Josh but he didn't want to seem jealous, so she released him and said, "You can ask if you want to know what we talked about."

He looked at her and said, "No, I am okay. I trust you. I think I have to get used to this, right? Like, Sarah said, you are a fucking 10+ and I am really lucky to have you. Mostly because of the person you are. I know I can trust you 100%."

She looked at him lovingly and then she kissed him. She could hear Josh and his friends from the other table.

"Go get her, man!" Elliot looked at them confused, then he looked at Liv with a question mark on his face. She started to laugh.

"Well, Josh, that's the name of the guy, wanted me to sit with them and not at my table with this boring guy. I said I am good and he seriously said he could rock my world. So I told him that you've just fucked me senseless in the shower just before we went down here." He looked at her in disbelief.

"You didn't!" he said amused.

"Of course I did! I am so sick of all these young guys, who think women need them to have mind blowing sex. I get what I want, when I need it! And you did a pretty damn good job earlier, a little bit of appreciation isn't much to ask for, right?"

"I adore you!" was all he said. She smiled at him brightly.

Back at their rooms the girls wanted to watch a movie so they all lay down on the bed. Lola wanted to lie next to Liv and after a while she fell asleep on Liv's shoulder. Liv enjoyed it. Lola was so cute and peaceful. After the movie El tried to pick her up but she didn't want to let go of Liv's shirt, so they decided to let her sleep with them.

Liv could see that El was a bit, well not really annoyed but she knew he wanted her to cuddle with him not with his kid. She smiled at him and whispered, "Tomorrow, I am all yours again." He smiled.

"I thought I hid my disappointment pretty good." She tilted her head and looked at him smiling.

"I can see it all over your face. Don't forget that I am your partner. I know you." She said with a wink.

He shook his head in amusement.

"I know you do." He went to her side of the bed and kissed her.

"I am jealous of my daughter. What is wrong with me?" Liv just smiled mischievously.

"So much, El. So much." she said grinning.

"Walked right into this one, huh?" They both laughed quietly.

She was happy. Her life wasn't the same anymore and although it scared her big time, she really enjoyed it.
