Chapter 3

The next morning Amanda rolled out of bed. It didn't take her long to fall asleep dreaming of Olivia Benson. She showered and put on her light blue jeans and blue shirt that matched her eyes. She heard a knock at the door and looked at her watch. "9:55, well she likes to be on time."

Amanda opened the door, "Morning." Olivia had an attitude, "Did you check the peephole before opening that door?" Amanda felt like she was 8 and being fussed at, "No, I'm a grown ass woman and a cop. If someone wants to come in here…" Olivia was moving closer, the more she talked. Amanda found herself backing up, "You have a smart mouth." Amanda swallowed, "Ok, I get it! It's not Atlanta. I'll check the fucking peephole."

Olivia wanted to spank her and get her attention, but she shook her head, "That mouth is going to get you in trouble one day. Come on, breakfast is on me." They walked to Olivia's favorite spot because it wasn't far. They enjoyed their breakfast. "Liv, where is Brian?" She signed the bill, "Sleeping, he got in early this morning."

They spent the entire day at the park. "Liv, you were right, the park is beautiful in the fall." Olivia pointed, "In the winter people sled down that hill and ice skate right there. I prefer Rockefeller Center for ice skating though. Do you know how to ice skate?" Amanda shook her head, "It doesn't really get cold in Atlanta." Olivia shrugged, "Well we should get that coat soon. That little jacket won't make it."

Olivia took her to Times Square, "You want to look for furniture and a coat?" Amanda smiled, "Sure Liv!" After shopping they went to dinner, "You found some great stuff today. If you give the manager those dates and times, he will open your apartment for delivery. You won't need days off and it will be all set up." Amanda smiled, "Cool!"

Something was bothering her, "Liv, you don't have to entertain me. I don't want Brian to not like me. You haven't seen him all day." Olivia decided to come clean, "Brian and I are together, but we have been having difficulties. So, if I hang out with you, it's ok. If you want to come over and be my friend, do it. I love him, but I don't know if we will make it. Stop worrying about Brian."

When they got home, they were both wiped, "I usually leave around 7:30, you can ride with me." Amanda nodded, "Are you going to be my partner?" Olivia smiled, "I don't think that would be wise, "It's probably going to be Fin. He's cool, not cooler than me, but you'll like him." Amanda frowned, "Don't look so sad, I think we are too close and because we live so close, it's good to give us some space." Amanda smiled, "Liv, I'll see you in the morning."

Olivia walked in and saw Brian sitting at the counter eating ziti. She kissed him, "You smell like cheese." Brian kept eating, "This is good Liv!" She sat next to him, "Did you two have fun?" Olivia nodded, "I showed her around and she got some furniture." Brian got up and washed his plate, "Does she have a story? Atlanta is a big jump."

Olivia wasn't going to jeopardize their friendship and tell Brian anything. Sign number 1 they weren't going to make it. She should've been able to tell him anything and trust him with it. "She's young and with her forensics background, she can move a lot faster here." Olivia stood up and headed to the bedroom, "I'm beat and taking a shower. Are you working tonight?" She was stripping out of her clothes and he walked up behind her, "Yeah, I'm working your body."

Olivia rolled her eyes knowing he couldn't see her. Their signals were always crossed. She wanted to yell that she was tired, but she didn't feel like fighting, because they were supposed to be trying. Olivia pulled him to the shower and under the water. "You have to wash me before you fuck me." Brian squeezed out soap and massaged her body. She did the same for him and spent extra time stroking his length.

He pushed her against the wall, placed one leg on the bench, and slowly disappeared between her legs. His tongue felt amazing and she couldn't help but wish it was Amanda instead of Brian. He brought her back to reality though as his mouth cuffed her lips and clit. "Fuck Brian!" He held her still as her body shook. He cradled her leg and put her hands down on the bench. "Round 2!"

Her head was down and her ass was up. He pushed his dick all the way in hard and fast, while massaging her front. Her wet brown hair stuck to her back as he rocked back and forth. "Mmmm Bri!" Brian grunted and pounded her from behind, "Liv you're so tight!" She knew she was squeezing him, she felt her whole lower body clamping down. Then he smacked her ass.

Liv liked a little punishment when she was with guys, but with girls she liked to be the dominant one and dish a little out. She giggled at her dropping hints to Amanda. Brian didn't know what was wrong but it didn't feel right. He knew Liv didn't feel into it. Their bodies did what bodies do, but it wasn't the same. Things had changed. They both came, but not together. Olivia was first and after about 4 hard thrusts, Brian came. Olivia kissed him, but she felt bad that she thought of Amanda most of the time he was inside her. They both felt it but they refused to talk about it.

The next morning Olivia got ready for work and left Brian asleep on his side of the bed. She made herself breakfast and coffee. Before leaving she kissed him to wake him up. He looked into her eyes, she was so easy to love. "Mmmm Liv. You taste good." She smiled, "I made extra coffee for you. Do you work tonight?" He sat up, "Yeah, so I'll probably miss you. Be safe babe." Olivia kissed him again, "You too."

She grabbed her coffee to go and knocked on Amanda's door. When it opened Amanda was running around like a maniac. "Sorry, I went for a run and got lost. I didn't think I could find my way back." Olivia was frozen, "What do you mean a run and you got lost. Where was your phone?" Amanda stood still and twisted her hands, "I left it here, by accident." Olivia narrowed her eyes, "Do you know how dangerous New York can be and I bet you didn't check the peephole."

Amanda wasn't used to being yelled at, "Liv, get off my fucking back!" She stopped as soon as it left her mouth. Olivia smirked, "If you were mine, your ass would be on fire." Amanda swallowed hard, not believing her ears. Olivia shook her head, "Let's go to work." Amanda wasn't dumb, all the hints about punishment were turning her on. She mumbled, "I wish I was yours."

When they got to the squad room Amanda met, Fin and Munch. Olivia was right, Fin was cool. Cragen came out, "Ok now that all the introductions are complete, let's get to business. "Fin you're with Rollins. Liv, you're going solo or I may pair you with someone." Munch held up his hand, "I'm still here, not retired yet." Cragen laughed, "I know which is why I'm teaming you up with our member, Nick Amaro. He's good and a transfer from Warrants."

Olivia was happy, a full squad meant they could share overtime and it wouldn't fall on one or two people. "Here he is now!" Everyone met Nick and thought he fit right in. Liv was sent on a call. Munch and Nick went to check out another call at the local hospital. "Fin and Rollins, you're up. They need you at Hudson."

They were headed to the place Amanda knew Olivia attended. "Liv said she went to Hudson and her mom taught here." Fin smiled, "She told you about her mom, she must trust you. That's a good thing." They were interviewing a young girl who said she was raped at a party. The roommate helped, "It's the dude in 23 C, Kevin."

Fin and Amanda went to check it out. They saw the suspect and when Fin called, "Kevin, we need a word with you!" He ran. He headed for the steps and Amanda chased him. Fin looked and hit the elevator button. He got downstairs just in time to see Amanda tackle him to the ground. It was a hard hit, but he tried to fight her. Fin pulled him off of her small frame. She moaned, "Son of a bitch."

Fin didn't like it and roughed him up as he tossed him in the squad car, "Sit your ass down!" They called Liv, for the victim. She saw Amanda with a bloody lip and holding her side. "What the hell happened?" Fin explained and Olivia looked at Amanda. She was the superior, "Fin, you take him into the squad. Munch and Nick should be back. Amanda you come with me. Once the victim is checked out we will get you checked out." Amanda protested, "I'm fine!" Olivia didn't back down, "Good, then you will check out fine."

The victim was checked out. Her roommate was smart and saved her clothes and didn't allow her to shower. "You are so brave. This should be an easy to close case." The girl looked at her, "How will I get over this?" Olivia smiled, "With help. Counseling. You know I was assaulted and with help. It made it easier." Amanda watched Olivia and heard what she said.

Her parents were called and came to be with her. Amanda watched Olivia give her a card and told them, "Call me anytime." Amanda knew her bruises were still visible and was scared. "Ok, your turn." Amanda's blue eyes looked scared, "Liv, I'm fine. Can't we just forget about it. My lip isn't even bleeding anymore." Olivia looked at her, "What are you hiding Amanda?"

Amanda asked, "Why did you tell her you were assaulted?" Olivia was confused, "Because I was and sometimes victims need to see it can happen to anyone." Amanda had to know, "What happened to you?" Olivia sighed because it was years ago but still hard. "I went undercover in a prison. I was actually with Fin. The guards were raping inmates and we were trying to catch them."

Amanda scrunched up her face. "I even have this scar from 10 stitches. Anyway, a guard attacked me and got me alone. He beat me and tried to make me give him oral sex. Fin saved me right before, but he had his pants down and his hands on my face. It gave me PTSD. I was really messed up." Amanda thought, "We're friends right?" Olivia nodded, "Yeah absolutely." Olivia thought she was getting somewhere, "Then as my friend, trust me when I tell you I'm ok." Olivia sighed, "Ok Amanda, I trust you."

They went back to the squad room and completed paperwork. "Alex!" Amanda saw the girl from the picture walk in. Seeing her up close, made Amanda understand why she wasn't her type. She was tall and beautiful, but not for Liv. "This is Amanda Rollins and that's Nick Amaro." Alex smiled, "Newbies! Welcome and I look forward to working with you." She grabbed the latest cases and headed out.

The squad ate dinner at a bar to welcome Amanda and Nick. Amanda really felt comfortable here. It was the first time she felt like she had a family. Olivia and Amanda stood at their doors, "Is Brian working tonight?" Olivia turned, "Yeah! See you in the morning." Amanda turned and thought she had to tell her. Amanda was still scared even with all the miles between those monsters. She wanted Olivia's protection, "Liv?" Olivia turned and moved back to Amanda, "Yeah?" Amanda blurted it out before she chickened out, "I was raped."
