A/N: This chapter takes place a week after their return from Easthampton in the story "Love & Trust". It's a little clarity and a little closeness that many wanted to see after that story. I hope you enjoy this short one-shot.

One Week After Return from Easthampton

8:47 p.m.

Olivia was still working on the Benetti-Keene case, but they were back in Manhattan now. Alex was off for the summer from the law high school, but there were still cases to try, young attorneys to mentor.

The stay at her parents had been good. They continued to live the beach life for another week after Olivia had come back from being undercover before returning to Manhattan and the Upper East Side.

Alex took a sip of her rooibos blend and set her mug back on the island, where she was standing, in her gray joggers and gray tank top, her feet bare.

Olivia entered now, freshly showered, the kids put to bed for the night, all sound asleep.

"You sure you don't want a cup?" Alex smiled at her wife as she approached.

Olivia shook her head, smirking. "I'm good, Al."

She moved up to her now and wrapped her arms around her securely, Alex stepping away from the island to allow her to do so and they simply held each other.

"We haven't…" Olivia chuckled against her body.

"Alex smiled. "But we did, Babe."

"But now we're alone…" Olivia offered.

"And so we are…" Alex pulled away and looked at the brunette, smiling. "What are you saying, Liv?"

"You know what I'm saying, Alex. Do I need to spell it out?" Olivia smiled back.

"Only because I love to hear those words come out of your mouth, Liv. That's all."

Olivia grinned once more. "We can be loud now."

Alex nodded. "Yes, we can. And I know you love to be loud, Liv." She held her tighter.

"Well, Al, the kids now have their own rooms. We have our system when we get home."
"We do have a system. You're not wrong about that." Alex looked her wife's face over.

Bronzed skin, warm, almond eyes. Feeling her body against hers was almost the only aphrodisiac that she needed at the moment.

She glanced down at her wife's parted eggplant robe, noticing the immense cleavage before her. "Are you naked…" Alex swallowed now, before returning her gaze to the brunette "...beneath that?"

Olivia only nodded, smirking. "What better way to entice?"

"You don't need anything to entice me, Babe. You can just smile, just be in the room, and I'm a goner."

"Yeah? A goner? I like to hear that." Olivia moved her mouth closer now, just hovering against her own. "As much as I like those silent orgasms we had when our babies were in the same room as us…"

Alex smirked. "At the beach house…"

"Yeah…" Olivia continued, "...there's just something about our bedroom here and being free and doing whatever we want...that I just love."

Alex smiled. "I get it, Babe. I completely get it."

Their mouths moved closer then and plush softness met plush softness.

Their kiss started off simple, then quickly turned into mouths moving along mouths, tongues intertwined, hands groping.

Alex moaned now, her hands grasping her wife's backside firmly, and they pulled away and Olivia was actually panting.

"I know it's early…in the evening..." Olivia began, her eyes still closed. "But I need you, Alex."

"What do you want, Liv?"

Olivia smiled and looked up towards the Heavens. "And I love when you ask me that."

Those amazing brown eyes finally opened and returned to her own and Alex waited.

"I want a toy...I want you to fuck me and pleasure me and do anything you want to me tonight."

Alex felt a rush, a surge of blood flow now to her nether regions, and she nodded slowly, focusing on her wife's eyes. "You know I'll do anything you want, Liv."

Olivia smiled and pulled away, holding her left hand out.

Alex took it and they walked down the hallway, continuing on to the bottom of the steps, up the steps, and to their lair of love, ready to please each other in the animalistic way they knew how to do.

Olivia was on all fours, on the bed, her wife behind her, Pink Wonder moving in and out of her as Alex pressed the front of her body to her, her left hand gripping her breast with her free hand, the toy moving rhythmically inside of her.

"Jesus, Alex...I'm…"

And Olivia exploded, her body shaking and quivering against her front, the blonde still working the phallus inside of her.

And then Olivia went still, her breathing erratic.

"Wow…" was all the brunette said.

Alex smiled and kissed her back-her shoulder blades, in between them, the back of her neck, as she pulled the pink plastic appendage from her core.

"Just…" Olivia tried.

"Give you a moment?" Alex asked, smiling and continuing to kiss along her wife's silky, tanned back.

Olivia only nodded.

And Alex peered around at her. Her wife's eyes were closed, short breaths escaping her mouth.

"God, what you do to me, Al."

Alex waited now, for Olivia's face to turn, for her to open her eyes and look at her.

When she finally did, the blonde smiled again. "And me? You know I need my Liv-lovin'," she giggled.

"I know you do, Al...just…"

And Alex continued to kiss her wife's back, her shoulder blades, the left side of her jaw.

Olivia finally recovered and turned to face her, rolling her body onto her back.

Alex fell into her and lay on top of her, feeling her incited heartbeat against her own.

The sound of crying now—most likely Isabel—and Alex looked up at Olivia.

"Me?"

Olivia only nodded. "I think so, Babe. If you don't mind. Then, when you come back...it's on…"

"I'll hold you to that, Liv. Because right now...I'm so wet...so turned on…"

Olivia chuckled now, her body still relishing in the afterglow. "I'll be here, Al."

She felt amazing. Her body was oozing contentment. And she didn't want it to stop.

She felt Alex leave her body and she finally opened her eyes, watching as the blonde placed her baby blue robe on and exit the room.

Alex entered the room, looking at her wife who was still in the position she had left her. Only now, her left forearm was over her eyes.

She smiled and moved towards the bed, discarding her robe as she walked and placing it on the foot bench. Was she asleep?

"Who was it?" Olivia asked.

Alex smiled again and joined her wife on the bed. "Isabel." She moved closer and wrapped her left arm around the brunette, looking up at her.

Olivia removed her arms from her eyes now and moaned.

"You recovered, Liv?" Alex chuckled.

"Yeah, Babe. I've recovered. But I feel so...good…"

"So, I need to wait, is what you're saying?" Alex smiled up at her, looking at that neck, that jawbone, that mouth.

"No, no. I'm ready." She smiled. "What do you want, Babe? I want to please you."

"Me? I want that mouth."

"This mouth?" Olivia opened her eyes then and puckered.

Alex nodded. "Yeah. That mouth on me...on my lady parts, and that tongue…"

"No magic fingers tonight?"

Alex shook her head. "No, Liv. Just your mouth. Watching you...working your magic…"

And within seconds, Alex was on her back, her wife in between her thighs. That glorious mouth on the place she always felt the most pleasure.

Alex arched her back, feeling her wife gripping her thighs in an effort to keep them from quaking. But it was no use. The blonde couldn't help the feelings, the sensations that having her wife down there evoked.

She looked down now, seeing the brunette working so diligently, so expertly, before returning the back of her head to her pillow and moaning.

"Like that," Alex offered, her voice breathy.

And within seconds, her body came hard, her core pulsating, her moaning echoing throughout the room.

"Mmmmm," Alex managed, letting her backside fall back onto the mattress. "Yeah…"

Olivia moved her way up, kissing her hips, her belly, her breasts, stopping to pleasure those, as well, and the blonde felt another orgasm coming on.

"Stay...right...there…" Alex husked.

Olivia's mouth was felt now, encircling a nipple, sucking, light fluttering across it, and Alex arched her back once more, another release being emitted. "Mmmmm," she moaned, smiling.

She felt her wife hold her now, her arm enveloping her, as their bodies relaxed, and each succumbed to rest on this, their first night back at home, after such a long, trying experience.

I am putting this under this new story, the new story that is entitled "Love Won't Leave: Odds and Ends Wrapped Up". If you have any "odds and ends" you would like to see wrapped up, let me know! I've already gotten a few but would love to hear more!
