Author's Note: Here is the PG-13 version of this chapter. The last part of it is NC-17 so that's why I have two versions of it. You can find that one at under the same pen name.

Chapter 10: Time for Two

Queens SVU – Friday, September 9th – 1:30pm

Elliot and Mike walked out of the interrogation room along with Mark Cooper's girlfriend and her two young children. They had already questioned Cooper and wanted to bring in the children to ask them about the abuse at the hands of their mother's boyfriend.

"You guys did good," said Elliot, kneeling down to talk to 7-year-old Maddie and 5-year-old Brian.

"What will happen to him?" asked the children's mother, a young woman by the name of Rita.

"Our ADA booked him and charged him with two counts of assault on a minor. An arraignment for his sentencing will be in two weeks," said Mike.

"Thank you for everything that you're doing for us," Rita said.

Mike just nodded. "It's our job."

"We're going to do everything we can to make sure that he can't get to the three of you anymore," Elliot assured the woman.

After they left, Elliot and Mike went to Captain Taylor's office to let him know the update on the Cooper case.

16th Precinct – 3:00pm

Olivia was gathering up her things at her locker to leave for the day. Faith was off and Olivia had gotten caught up on her paperwork, so Cragen told her to go home and start her weekend early.

Munch and Fin had just come back to the station house with Casey when they saw Olivia leaving and approached her at her desk.

"You leaving for the day?" asked Fin.

Olivia nodded, "Yeah, I'm caught up on paperwork so Cap is letting me go for the day."

"See you later," Munch and Fin said in unison.

"Bye, Liv," said Casey. "Have a great weekend."

"You too," Olivia called back as she walked out the door.

Stabler Residence – 7:00pm

Elliot stepped in the front door. He was exhausted and wanted to relax after a long week at work.

Olivia was coming out the kitchen when she saw Elliot and her eyes lit up. She gave him a quick kiss. "Hey, honey. How was work today?"

Elliot really didn't want to tell her all the details on the latest case. If she knew, she'd worry about him. "It was fine," he answered automatically.

She knew him well enough that something was bothering him, but she decided to change the subject. "Good. Maureen called earlier and said that she, Kathleen, and the twins were having a lot of fun. Then, I talked to Rosa and she said that Kaitlyn was fine. She ate her cereal formula in her bottle and was playing peek-a-boo with Rosa and Elena."

Elliot smiled. He was glad that his kids were able to hang out for the weekend with Maureen since that left him and Olivia to themselves.

"I'm going to go take a shower," he announced. He walked upstairs to the bedroom and towards the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Olivia heard him turn the shower on as she sat in the living room. She thought about Elliot and wanted him to talk out his bad day with her, but she knew that he was stubborn. A smile came across her face as she walked towards their bedroom. 'Maybe a massage would work' she thought.

Elliot came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He was surprised when he saw Olivia standing in front of the bed, dressed in a white camisole and gray sweatpants.

'She looks cute like that,' he thought.

Olivia looked at Elliot and then retreated to the bathroom, remembering to take her birth control. She found Elliot sitting on the bed a short time later, clad only in his boxers. She sat down next to him and asked him to talk to her about his day because she knew it was bothering him.

"Liv, I really don't want to talk about this," demanded Elliot.

"But we tell each other everything."

Elliot sighed and decided to just let it out without them arguing. He told her all about Mark Cooper and how he abused his girlfriend's two young children and the fact that he was afraid that Cooper would get off on arraignment and hurt another child.

"Oh El, I'm so sorry," said Olivia.

"It's never going to end," said Elliot, shaking his head.

"I think this will make you feel better." Olivia got up and produced a bottle of massage oil from the dresser drawer.

She climbed on the bed behind him and began massaging his shoulders with the oil.

"Does this feel better?"

"Oh yeah, it feels good." Elliot grabbed Olivia's hand and lightly kissed her soft skin.

After several moments passed, Olivia walked in front of Elliot after his massage and smoothed her hands on his bare chest. She began placing small kisses on his chest and moved up to his jaw line.

Elliot sighed as she was beginning to get the two of them worked up. He knew what she wanted and he needed this to forget about the day. He gently grabbed Olivia's wrist and interlaced his fingers with hers. He then untied the drawstring of her sweatpants without taking his eyes off her and pulled them down to her feet. Olivia stepped out of them, now revealing a pair of pink lacy bikini panties.

Before she could say anything, he pulled her down on his lap and began trailing kisses from her neck down to her collarbone with his tongue. Olivia tilted her head back to give him better access and put both hands on his shoulders so she could get some leverage.

They lay under the covers for a while and kissed each other passionately. Elliot rolled off to lie next to Olivia and held her in his arms as they both fell asleep. Tonight would be a memory to savor.
