Chapter 14

Olivia and Elliot got back to her apartment soon after. She went to get some thing to drink and Elliot sat on the couch. After she got her water she sat next to him.

"How's it feeling?" he asked as he leaned in to look closer at her eye.

"It's ok" she said quietly. She took a sip of her water as they both sat facing the turned off TV.

"Elliot…" she began.

"Yeah?" he turned to her.

"… I think we need to talk" she said as she finally turned to face him.

"Okay" he nodded as she took in a deep breath.

"… so… Cragen gave me a new case that he wants us to work on" she got up quickly and rushed to her bedroom to find the file. He wasn't sure if he should follow her or just wait. Before he could do anything she came back and handed him the file, sitting next to him again. She was pointing out certain information as he read it to himself, he couldn't help but notice her perfume again. He was close enough that he could smell it, he wished to be this close and closer all the time. He looked at her as she kept talking and telling him more information. She finally finished and looked up at him to see him staring at her. He started to lean his head toward her, not realizing what he was doing.

"Elliot…" she managed to whisper before he touched his lips against hers gently. After only a few moments he dropped the file and tried to get closer to her. He could only get so close, without straining anything, on the couch. She slid her body underneath him, lying out on the couch. He pressed against her and let his hands slide underneath her back. He held her steady and in place as he kissed her deeper. She started to slide her legs out from underneath him and try to sit up again. Their lips unlocked only for a minute, although it felt like an eternity. She was heading toward her bedroom but she missed the hallway and backed against the wall. It startled her but Elliot couldn't help but smile. He kissed her deeply again and she couldn't help but let out a small moan. She didn't know if she wanted this, but she couldn't fight the feeling that it was true. She put her hands on his chest while she started to unbutton his shirt. Now she was the one making the moves- what had gotten into her. He smiled, their kiss becoming a little sloppy as he tried to look down at her undoing his buttons. Finally she moved again, after she had pushed his over shirt off. She backed up into her room, he followed best he could without tripping. After he shut the door with his foot she backed up to her bed. Was she ready for this? Was she ready for this with Elliot? It seemed every chance they had had in the past had been destroyed by phone calls, children, etc. Nothing was in their way this time. But she didn't really think about any of this. She thought before hand, and she thought while he kissed her in the beginning. But now, now it was just love. He kissed her neck gently while she took off his under shirt. It was his turn now. He wanted her so much- he loved her so badly that it hurt when he was away from her. He got her shirt off finally and the night went on. There was nothing that could have made the night go by badly, even if there had been a phone call or a beeper went off, they wouldn't have stopped. They couldn't. They were in love.

THE NEXT MORNING

Elliot had been awake for awhile. He woke up refreshed and happy to see Olivia lying next to him. He wrapped his arm around her but didn't touch her- he didn't want to wake her. After a little bit Olivia did finally awake. She took in a deep breath and let it out refreshed too. She smiled as she looked up at him. She was on her side and put her hand gently on his stomach.

"Morning" he said nicely.

"Morning" she said closing her eyes for a second again.

"How'd you sleep?" he asked rubbing her arm with that hand that wrapped around her.

"Who slept?" she joked as she opened her eyes. It took a minute for reality to hit Olivia. She was worried about this. Worried about what they had done.

"Elliot" she said as she pulled away from him, he looked at her confused.

"Did we do something wrong here?" she asked worried, sitting up.

"Did it seem wrong?" he asked sitting up to meet with her.

"…no but we hear about cops who do this and it just ruins them" she told him looking down at her hands.

"You think that's going to happen to us? That our relationship as partners will be ruined?" he asked.

"…no but…"

"Do you or don't you?"

"I don't think that will happen to us" she said.

"Then what's the problem?" he asked.

"What if it does?" she turned to face him.

"I think you're worried that nothing bad will happen. Your afraid to be happier then you already are" he put his hand on top of hers. How did he know her so well?

"Am I right or am I right?" he smiled. She smiled as she leaned in and they kissed gently.

"We should probably get up" she said.

"What's the rush? Relax" he told her as he lay back down. She couldn't help but smile as she turned to look at him lying there waiting for her. He smirked as she wrapped the covers back around her and relaxed.

"That's better" he smiled as he got on top of her under the covers. She couldn't help but smile widely as he teased her and kissed her.
