Let It Go - Chapter 6

Alex and Olivia both agreed that they preferred a night in after an afternoon swimming and in the sun. It had been a long day with traveling, and Noah barely made it through dinner without his eyes drooping.

By the time dinner was done, Noah was so sleepy, Olivia ended up carrying him upstairs to put him to bed without objection.

When Olivia came back downstairs, she stood at the edge of the kitchen watching Alex. She was wiping the counters, cleaning the kitchen after dinner. It was such a simple and mundane thing, but Alex had a way of making things like that seem elegant and beautiful.

Just about everything Alex did seemed elegant and beautiful.

Olivia made her move walking towards Alex. Alex looked up momentarily from her chore to see Olivia coming towards her, "all tucked in?" She asked. She looked again to Olivia when she didn't answer right away.

"Sound asleep," was all Olivia said now standing close, in Alex's space. The look in Olivia's eyes was a look she had never seen before. The pupils of her eyes were dark and dare she say lustful.

Olivia took a step forward purposefully backing Alex slowly up against the kitchen counter, never touching her. Alex stepped back willingly, her heart pounding, her throat dry.

Olivia leaned in kissing Alex gently, then pulling away to look at Alex, to look into her eyes, to make sure, just in case…

Alex's hands went to Olivia's neck, pulling her back into a deeper, wanting kiss.

Olivia's hands went to the curves just above Alex's hips, her fingers pressing into the skin below her thin shirt.

The taste of her mouth, her tongue…

They both moved closer as they continued to kiss.

Olivia pulled back taking in a breath, before resting her forehead on Alex's. She could see Alex's chest rising and falling quickly and out of pattern.

"All those times I've wondered what it's like to kiss you, Alex breathed. "Please don't stop."

Olivia grinned, capturing Alex's lips again. Her mind racing, and a million little thoughts about how she too had always wondered what it would be like to kiss Alexandra Cabot and there they were, finally… And she was such a good kisser, fool, why didn't she kiss her years ago?

They once again paused, only for the sake of needing to breathe air.

"Come with me," Alex said, handing Olivia her glass of wine then, taking her own. Her other hand reached, taking Olivia by the hand into the living room to the plush, overstuffed gray couch.

Alex took another sip of wine and then sat her wine glass on the coffee table, then Olivia's.

Alex sat down, pushing herself against the back of the couch getting comfortable. Olivia waited as if she needed or maybe wanted direction.

Alex again reached for Olivia, tugging her hand gently to sit close. "Now," Alex said giving a smile and the licking her lips, "Where where we?"

Olivia shifted on the couch leaning into Alex, running her thumb across Alex's bottom lip.

"I think we were right here," Olivia said, kissing her again passionately.

Alex's hands started to roam feeling Olivia's exposed skin at the small of her back where her t-shirt didn't quite reach, her fingers, her palm rising slowly against her soft skin with each tongue-twisting kiss.

Olivia ran her hand up Alex outer thigh stopping just below the hem of her cotton lounge shorts, the feel of her porcelain legs, they went on for days and Olivia knew she would have them wrapped around her in no time.

"I haven't made out with anyone like this in a long time," Olivia breathed.

"I haven't wanted anyone like this in a long time." Alex rebutted.

"Only you," the words slipping from Olivia's mouth.

Alex looked at Olivia, her eyes transfixed on her. "We were fools," Alex said cupping Olivia's insanely perfect jawline.

Olivia gave a smirk thinking she had thought the same of her self only moments ago. "But, we're here now"

"Thank God," Alex said pushing Olivia against the pillow behind her, her body now pressing against her, her right thigh resting between Olivia's legs.

Hoping time would stand still, they kissed, and innocently touched, patient for what or anything that might come.

Alex kissed Olivia's neck, breathing in her familiar sweet scent. She felt Olivia press her body closer against hers and Alex moved her thigh closer to Olivia's core.

She heard Olivia's breath break at the contact.

Olivia 's hands snaked under Alex's shirt, the tips of her fingers feeling her bare breast, her palms resting on her breasts, giving them a gentle squeeze.

Alex moaned at the sensation, the way Olivia was touching her.

"These," Olivia breathed as she grazed the tips of her fingers over Alex's protruding nipples. "They have been teasing me all day in that bathing suit, tonight… no bra Alex?" Olivia said mischievously raising her left brow.

Alex licked her lips and then grinned. She knew what she was doing.

Alex then pulled Olivia's shirt up just below her breasts, lowering herself down to kiss around her belly button, her fingers grazing her stomach and then over noticeable small scars that randomly marred her skin.

When she looked up at Olivia, Olivia was staring at Alex's hands, her fingers touching the scars.

"Liv?" Alex questioned.

Olivia opened her mouth, but the words failed. She took a breath. "William Lewis," she said nervously. "They're burns from my keys…"

Alex's blue eyes immediately filled with tears, and Olivia reached, cupping Alex's cheek.

"It's ok, I promise it's ok."

Alex shook her head but took a moment to just look at Olivia.

"What if I had lost you then?"

"Al…" Olivia said, momentarily clenching her eyes shut.

"Liv, I regret all of the time we've lost together," Alex said a tear finally falling down her cheek.

Olivia shook her head agreeing.

"But we're here now," Olivia reminded her.

Alex kissed Olivia, "I told you, I know what this is for me. I know what I've missed out on. And unless you back out of this…"

"I don't want to back out of this," Olivia said without hesitation.

Alex smiled, "then," Alex said kissing Olivia's lips, "let me love you." Alex said feeling Olivia's breath hitch as she slid her palm down Olivia's body and under her thin sweat pants and silk panties cupping Olivia's center.

Olivia's hand tangled in Alex's hair, as she bit her bottom lip. She was too far into the anticipation of Alex's next move.

Alex dipped two fingers into Olivia's wet folds, coating her fingers as she watched the expression on Olivia's face change from lust to a relived satisfaction.

"I think about touching you, how you would feel on my fingers, on my lips," Alex whispered below Olivia's ear as she continued to tease between Olivia's legs. "The look on your face, the sounds you would make when I make you come."

"Fuuuucck," was all that slipped from Olivia's lips.

She was intoxicated.

She and Olivia kissed, letting out sounds of satisfaction.

Alex was rhythmic and relentless and Olivia was soaked and on the edge.

Alex felt Olivia grip the strains of her hair, felt her body tighten,

"Alex…"

Alex bit at Olivia's bottom lip, "Give me what I want," was all Alex said before Olivia's thighs began to quiver. "Let go," Alex whispered.

Olivia's body stiffened, her legs quivering, doing all she could not to scream out.

Alex slowed her rhythm, then giving Olivia's swollen clit one last touch, sending a jolt through Olivia's belly.

Alex kissed and touched soothingly as Olivia recovered.

A smile appeared on Olivia's flushed face and Alex mimicked her smile.

"That's what I've been missing?" Olivia joked.

Alex let out a breathy laugh, "Olivia Benson, you are nowhere close to me showing you what you've been missing."
