Part 18

There are two versions of this part. This is the PG rated version. If you are over 18 and you want to read the NC-17 version, it is posted at my website and also at SVU fiction:

Olivia groaned as the doorbell rang. She got up from the couch, headed out to the door and peeked through the peephole.

"What are you doing here?" she said, opening the door.

"How's your cheek?" Elliot asked, reaching out to touch it.

"Fine," Olivia replied, turning away before skin met skin.

Elliot was having none of it though, and he his hands went to her hips, forcing her back to look at him. "No more turning away, Liv."

"What do you want?"

"What Kathy did to you doesn't change us. What we have. Or our plans." "I-" Elliot's fingers went to her lips. "I love you. I love our children. I want our house together. That beautiful one we saw the other evening. I want to have our family there." He tugged her closer, so that her body was flush against his. "I want you there."

Olivia rested her head against his shoulder. "I want that too."

"Then why did you push me away?" he asked her, stroking her back.

"Because I'm scared. Because Kathy reminded me of all the reasons why I didn't tell you about the twins. Because I'm so afraid that this isn't going to work."

Elliot tilted her head to look at him. "Don't be afraid. I know this is hard, Liv. But it's going to work. You and me…we're going to work."

"Promise?"

Elliot nodded. "Promise." His finger traced her lips again, his other hand cupping her cheek. "Can I kiss you now?"

Olivia smiled. "Please do."

His lips crashed down on hers and Olivia moaned, encircling her arms around his neck.

They had missed each other desperately over the last couple of nights, and the knowledge that they were alone had the kiss deepening in seconds.


Olivia pressed a soft kiss to his lips, before laying her head back on his shoulder. "I missed you."

"I missed you too. I don't like sleeping in bed without you anymore."

"Let's not do it anymore," Olivia replied.

"Deal," Elliot agreed, his arms going around her as they kissed again.
