A/N: Thanks for the reviews - Please, please keep them coming! As promised here is chapter 2!
Olivia felt her heart pounding in her chest so fast she feared she was going to have a heart attack right there on her doorstep. Her brain and fingers couldn't quite connect to meet their objective, finding the right key for the lock to her front door; partially due to her own excitement and partially due to Elliot's tongue licking slowly up the back of her neck. As she finally connected key to lock and opened the door, she felt a rush of heat through her body. 'Is this really happening, this thing that I have dreamt about so many times? Are we really…?' Elliot's playful bite on her earlobe sent a shiver down her spine that told her, yes, this was really happening at last.
Clumsily, the pair entered the apartment, not quite sure what to do with all their pent up energy. Elliot's blue eyes sparkled clear as the ocean as he looked Olivia up and down, smiling at what he saw. Not his partner, a highly trained, professional detective. Not his best friend, a caring, fun, and loyal person. But a woman – deep mocha eyes, soft pouty lips, beautiful breasts, flat stomach. This was the side of Olivia he longed to see more of.
"I've never kissed my partner," Olivia teased, bringing her lips a fraction of an inch from his and feeling his warm breath as he exhaled. Smiling at her playful nature, he accepted the challenge and pressed his lips solidly on hers. A thousand nerve endings exploded inside of her as he drew his tongue across her upper lip and slipped it gently inside her waiting mouth. She reciprocated, darting her tongue across his lips so quickly, Elliot wondered if he imagined it.
They pulled apart, trying to catch their breath, and breaking into easy laughter.
"This seems so surreal," Elliot whispered, as he pushed a few locks of hair behind Olivia's ear. "Like I have thought about this so many times I've willed it to come true."
"How many times have you thought about this?" Olivia's look was one of wonder and surprise, as if it just occurred to her that she wasn't the only one who had been waiting for this moment.
"Too many to count." Elliot brushed her lips with another kiss as his hands made their way to the top button of her shirt.
"I've never seen your breasts."
Olivia marveled at the dexterity of his hands in quickly undoing all ten buttons, sliding her shirt off her shoulders and allowing it to fall onto the floor before she could catch her breath. She watched him curiously as his blue eyes widened, taking in her black lace bra that barely skimmed the area above her hardened nipples. Slowly, almost reverently, he lowered his mouth to kiss first her right breast, then her left. He slid his hands around her back, expertly undoing her bra and removing it so he could take in her beauty. She shivered, not from the cold, but rather from the heat that was being generated between the two partners.
Elliot's thumbs grazed over her nipples and Olivia felt the jolt of electricity his touch sent through her body. She grabbed his waist, initially to steady herself, but seized the opportunity to pull him closer. She wanted, needed his lips on hers. To make sure that this was real, not just another fantasy like the ones she had been having every night for as long as she could remember. His passionate kiss and the hard erection she felt against her thigh confirmed that this was no fantasy. This was very real.
As Elliot deepened the kiss, Olivia's hands made their way to the front of his pants. Hesitating for a brief moment, she pulled away from the kiss long enough to look into her partner's eyes. She needed to know that this was mutual. That he wanted her as much as she wanted him and understood all of the possible consequences that lay ahead. That he knew that once the leap was made there was no turning back. The passion that seemed to change his ocean colored eyes to a deep midnight blue was all the conformation she needed. Olivia kept Elliot's gaze as she unbuttoned his pants and slid the zipper down slowly. Elliot shuddered with anticipation as he felt her hands slide to his hips and begin pushing his pants down from his waist.
Olivia tore her gaze away from his mesmerizing eyes to take in Elliot's body. A small giggle escaped her lips before she could stop it.
"I never thought you'd wear pink boxers."
Elliot smiled at the playful smirk that spread across Olivia's face. He loved to see her smile and laugh, something that rarely happened while they were on the job.
"Laundry mishap. You know we men don't separate colors."
Olivia shook her head as she went back to the task of undressing Elliot. Unbuttoning his shirt and sliding it off his shoulders, she almost let out an audible gasp at the sight of his toned chest and stomach. The fire within her belly burned hotter and she could feel herself getting wet with anticipation.
Elliot reached for the buckle of her belt, but stopped and quickly flung his surprised partner over his shoulder and carried her to the bedroom. Olivia screamed in surprise, laughing so hard she almost lost her breath. As Elliot gently laid her on top of her soft down comforter, her mood shifted from playful to serious as the realization of what was about to happen hit her.
Elliot kissed her lips first, slowly inching his way down her neck. Collarbone, breast, nipple. Olivia closed her eyes and attempted to slow her rapid breathing before she hyperventilated. Stomach, belly button, zipper. Kisses had turned to playful bites, and Olivia was on the brink of losing control as he traded his mouth for his hands and swiftly undid her pants and pulled them off.
Elliot let his eyes wander over Olivia, lying on the bed in nothing but a black g-string, attempting to catch her breath.
"I never imagined anyone could be so beautiful."
Climbing on the bed to lie beside her, Elliot noticed the soft blush rising in her cheeks from his compliment. He knew that as tough as Olivia was on the outside, she still somehow didn't truly believe she deserved compliments, deserved love. Elliot made a silent vow to spend the rest of his life showing her otherwise.
