Pain
Chapter 3---Friends or more than friends?
Disclaimer: Still not mine! obsessedwithstabler, I tried what you suggested but Dick W. just isn't going for it!
After a long day at the station, Elliot, Olivia, and the kids were finally headed back home. Ella was so exhausted that she never stopped crying which only lead to upsetting Olivia more which then in turn upset Eli. Elliot couldn't wait til they could all just get into their beds and go to sleep. Today had been hell. Finally Elliot and Olivia got the kids put to bed, and headed out to the couch to talk.
"I still can't believe that this is happening. I mean Rhys never would have done anything like this a year ago. I just don't get it. What changed?"
"I don't really understand either. I've known Rhys since my early days on the force. God, I trusted him with you. I want to kill him for this. No one has the right to have touched you like that, Liv. Especially not your husband," Elliot ranted, then said in a softer voice, "I feel like I'm responsible for this."
"Elliot how could you possibly have anything to do with this happening?" asked olivia.
"Because if I just could have told you...I mean, he was my friend. You met him through me." 'Jeeze, watch what you are saying, Elliot. You almost just told her that you love her. She's a married woman, not for long, but still married.' 'Yeah, to an idiot who doesn't understand what he had, who hit her and who-.'
"Elliot!" she said a bit louder finally gaining his attention.
"Wha...What?"
"Listen to me. None of this is your fault, El. You're a good man. If you had known that something like this could have happened you would have protected me, but no one saw this coming. Not even me. You hear me? I trust you, and you take good care of me, El. And the kids. Okay?"
"Okay. Sorry for trying to make this all about me Liv," Elliot apologized.
"Elliot."
"What?"
"Shut up," she said mock sternly, hitting him with a smile on her face.
"Come here," Elliot said motioning for her to move to sit closer to him on the couch. He hugged her for a long moment, relishing the feel of her in his arms, before pulling back slightly to look at her with concern in his.
"You're really tense. You want a back massage?"
"Sure," she smiled, "I could go for a massage."
"Here," Elliot said, laying a thick blanket on the ground. "Lay down on this."
Olivia settled on her stomach and Elliot kneeled over her butt. Olivia was letting out quiet moans of pleasure as he gently kneaded her flesh with his large hands. The fact that it was he, causing her to make these sounds quickly aroused Elliot. He knew that he should stop now but he couldn't take his hands off of her. He had dreamed of this many times, now that it was really happening he indulged in the moment. He ran his hands down her arms, massaged her hands then moved back up her arms to her neck and shoulders. Then he was sliding his hands down from the small of her back to a spot just under her ribs, her most ticklish spot. As he squeezed that spot, Olivia squealed and squirmed under his touch. Elliot didn't stop tickling her until her butt accidentally rubbed against his erection. Elliot groaned at the contact and then quickly pulled back.
"Oh, god. Liv, I'm sorry. I-."
"Hey," she said getting up and walking toward him, "It's okay, El. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't get a little heated during that massage, too."
Elliot grinned his face still beat red, "Really?"
"Yeah," she said smiling, looking at him from under her lashes. "I'm gonna get to bed. Today was a long day. Thank you for the massage."
Olivia leaned toward him and gave him a short peck on the lips, that could have been taken as a friendly thanks or as a "I would love to do this again sometime" kiss. And what she whispered into his ear before she left, told him it was the latter.
"You have great hands."
