Elliot beamed down at her, a warmth flooding through his chest when she grinned back at him. He leaned down again, his lips capturing hers. As her hands slid from his cheeks to behind his head, their kisses became hungrier. Each time they made contact, it was like a hit that needed to be felt again immediately. When he groaned into her mouth, Olivia smirked, only to gasp a moment later when he gently tugged her bottom lip between his teeth. She moaned when he let it go with a cocky grin of his own. He started kissing along her jaw, down her neck, his words mumbled against her skin. "Do you still want to go home?"

Olivia's jaw dropped when he paid attention to a particular spot just below her ear. She hooked a leg over his hips, smiling when his hands tightened on her waist and angled her to know exactly how much he wanted her to stay. "Not on your life." She lowered her hands down the front of his shirt, lifting the hem and teasing his lower belly with her nails. "But, I probably should go."

Elliot felt whatever blood was left in his brain travel south when her fingers taunted his stomach with her warm touch. He could feel his own muscles twitch with the promise of it. With the glint in her eye, he knew she was only messing with him. Teasing him with the idea of leaving him alone after this moment in their relationship, alone with the need for a cold shower or his hand and a mental image of her. "I promised to take care of you tonight. What kind of person would I be if I broke that promise and let you go home to be all by yourself?"

"Well," Olivia chuckled, hearing the innuendo in his voice, "who said I wouldn't just take care of myself?" She let her leg slip back down to the floor, smirking when his nose flared. She let his arms bring her flush against him before she began swaying, almost making a show of it. "With everything you've done for me today, I'll go home thinking of you. I'll take care of myself thinking about you." She let her hands glide up his arms, over his shoulders, and back around his neck. "It'll be so good knowing how well you take care of me, even when I'm taking care of me." She let her fingers dance behind his head, one of her hands moving towards his ear and grazing the outside shell as if she were teasing herself. "Knowing just what I like," she leaned up and kissed his lips slowly, grazing his lips even as she spoke again, "I think I might be better at it than you."

Elliot exhaled heavily through his nose, smirking slightly. "I bet you're phenomenal, but you've never been taken care of by me before."

"True." Olivia agreed. She returned her hands to his shirt, pulling it up and over his head when he raised his arms.

When he brought them back down, one hand tangled in her hair, cupping the back of her head, while the other wound around her and landed on her ass. Despite the cool air of his apartment now hitting his bare torso, he felt his own skin radiating body heat. "There's so many different things, different ways I can make you feel good. You know, take care of you. Ways I don't think you could do by yourself." He kissed her hard, tongue dueling with hers until much needed air separated them. "I can take care of myself too, thinking about you taking care of yourself, like I've done before," he grinned seeing the faint blush in her cheeks, "but unless I know you've taken care of yourself, like really taken yourself to utter bliss and relaxation, I'm afraid I just can't sit by and not do everything I can to help you out."

Olivia felt the desire in his grip. If it weren't for the teasing, she was sure he would've consumed her already. Just the action of breathing made their lips touch, noses pressed together. "When you put it like that, I guess you breaking your promise isn't worth going home." She tilted her hips, making him groan at the motion of her body rolling against the part of his body that yearned for her most. "I would never want to put you in a bad position."

"I can't imagine you would ever do that." Elliot breathed before he claimed her mouth with his again, not being able to take the seemingly innocent, but not so innocent, conversation further. He felt the goosebumps rise on his skin when her hands landed on his lower back, nails biting at him as their kisses became more frenzied.

Olivia moaned softly into his mouth, blindly following him as he seemed to be driven to move them somewhere other than the front door. Her breath hitched when she felt her lower back collide with the countertop in the small kitchen. She immediately moved her hands to the knot securing Elliot's sweatpants around her waist and untangled it. Before she could move further, Elliot's hands were pushing the material down enough to grab the flesh of her hips and hoist her onto the counter. Even as he fumbled to remove the pants completely from her legs, his lips didn't leave hers. It was almost as if he had to keep kissing her or it would all become some dream, another fantasy played out like a cruel mind trick to remind them of what they had denied for so long. She wasn't going to risk breaking the spell either.

She cupped his face in her hands, spreading her legs apart when Elliot stepped closer. She faintly heard the rustle of the sweatpants hitting the floor. His calloused hands ran up the outsides of her thighs, gradually gliding back to her hips and tugging her towards the edge of the counter. The action made them both groan at the contact, lips separating only then. Despite their panting, they nearly clung to one another, needing as much contact as possible in that moment.

It was almost as if they'd done this before, the newness even feeling familiar as one of her hands lowered to his waist and one of his slid between her legs. His grunt and her gasp melded into one noise, hooded eyes locking, before they met each other. Olivia pressed her lips to his, her hand slowly gliding up from his waist, up the center of his chest, and around his neck as he inched into her. Her back arched as she glanced down. Her eyes were brought back up though when Elliot nearly melded to her. His mouth was behind her ear, his body tilting hers back. She tucked her legs against his sides, toes pressing into his ass as he pulled back only to thrust back into her. Again, the sounds that slipped past both their lips collided when they did.

His hands began moving again, one centering itself on the small of her back. The other tangled with hers on the counter, interlocking their fingers. He pressed his forehead to hers, blue eyes locking with her brown ones. It was only for a second or two, but it felt like an eternity, like words would make the moment meaningless. Tightening her legs around his body and bracing herself on the counter with the hand locked in his, she wrapped her other arm around his neck and moved with him as he began thrusting in and out of her.

Elliot felt every movement in her hips, his hand digging into her flesh each time he thrust into her. His body registered every noise she made as much as his own. The intense eye lock, her fingers cupping the back of his head, he could only feel her, and none of his fantasies nor his imagination could've come close to this now that he was actually with her. Even the consistent squeeze of her hand on his was enough to make him fall for her all over again. He didn't want to miss anything.

When her legs tightened around him, toes curling against his ass, he began thrusting into her faster, applying more pressure with his hand to thrust harder. He groaned when her body held him tighter, her eyes closing. Capturing her lips with his, he braced her before bringing their joined hands between their bodies. Olivia clung to him, her body completely relying on his as he lifted her from the counter. She felt the skim of his hand against her belly as her hand grazed his own torso. When her knuckles reached the crest of his hips, his thumb pushed aside her panties further and stroked her clit, sending intense waves throughout her body and spiraling her over the edge.

Elliot felt every wave surround him, wrapping around him like a vice, and he let it submerge him. The euphoria flooded his body and eased his muscles despite his racing heart and near panting. Yet, there was still her. He slowly opened his eyes, meeting her brown ones once again. Her legs were still wrapped around his waist, body hoisted against his. Her hair cascading around them as her forehead pressed to his, and for that moment it felt like they were the only two people in the world. As if she hadn't been his entire world before.

Despite their desire to stay like that, their muscles began to protest. Elliot gently sat her back on the counter, kissing her slowly before he pulled back just far enough to get a good look at her. "Bet you can't do that."

Olivia laughed running a hand through her hair. "I'll give you that."

"Want to go to bed?" Elliot asked, glancing back towards the hallway. He chuckled at her skeptical gaze. "To sleep. As much as I want to do this again, and I do want to do this again, we've both had a long day, and I'm sure we would both feel better in the morning if we slept in a bed and not on this counter."

"I'd like that." Olivia whispered, blushing slightly as she bit her lip. She smirked though as she looked back down at his waist, his sweatpants miraculously still on his hips. "I hope you're not wearing those to bed though."

Elliot grinned, leaning in close to her. "I've heard skin to skin contact is the best."

Olivia toed at the waistline of the sweats until they dropped from sight. "Glad to know we're on the same page." She grinned when he reached for the shirt still covering her, raising her arms when he started lifting it up. "You really want to undress me here?"

"Well, the kitchen has become ground zero. Why not?" Elliot smirked before tossing the shirt on the floor. He saw the slight hesitation in her eyes before looking down at her. He grunted softly seeing her breasts confined in her bra, and then saw why she was probably nervous. He could see the scars on her chest, and as much as he wanted to know who put them there and why, he was just happy that she was there with him okay after the scare he'd had over her life today. "Damn, Liv."

"What?" Olivia asked. She felt anxious, but she smiled when he stepped back between her legs and kissed each of her breasts. His lips moved their way up her chest, grazing some of her scars, before he locked in on her neck as his hands came up to cup her breasts through her bra. She sighed gently, biting her lip.

Elliot slowly pulled off her bra, replacing his hands on her once the item was tossed aside. "I just don't feel so bad now thinking about you when I was in the shower. You are far better than my imagination." He nearly lost his mind when he felt her teeth tease his earlobe before she blew against it. "Let's go to bed."

Olivia nearly giggled, slipping off the counter when Elliot gave her the room to. Heading towards the hall, she let the last piece of clothing on her slide down her legs, dropping to the floor for her to step out of. She gazed back at him over her shoulder, her own ego stroked when a new blush creeped into his chest and his crystal blue eyes were now royal. "Will you be coming?"

Elliot groaned at her choice words, his own head fighting his lower half to sprint to her and haul her into the bedroom. "Oh, I'm hoping so." He smiled when she winked at him and cocked her head to the side. He joined her, walking with her into the room set up for Eli, and he fell a little bit more in love with her. Despite knowing there was a bedroom just down the hallway with a bigger bed they could both fit into comfortably, she went with him to the smaller bed without question. Even though Kathy was gone and she had probably known that he was in love with Olivia, he had too much respect for Kathy to bring Olivia into a bed they shared and too much respect for Olivia to bring her into a bed he and Kathy had shared in their marriage if only for a night or two. It may have just been a mattress in a rented apartment, but it was the last bed he and Kathy had been in and he didn't want that to be the first bed he shared with Olivia.

So, the simple gesture of Olivia walking to the twin mattress and sliding under the covers without question made his heart swell a little bit more for her before climbing in beside her. His arms immediately wrapped around her, holding her close so their foreheads joined again. Their breathing was slow now, even, and still matched with each exhale. He could not have been more grateful to hear that noise. After the day he had, he was happy it was ending this way, wrapped up in each other's arms, instead of in a hospital potentially getting poked and prodded to give her any organ she needed. And, he meant what he said. He was stressed, upset, desperate, but she could've had anything from him. He would've given it to her without question. She's had all of him for so long; he didn't want to know what it would've been like for her to suddenly give it all back because her heart couldn't go on.

Olivia, sensing Elliot's wandering mind, leaned up and kissed him gently. She snuggled into his body, getting as close as their bodies would allow. "Thank you for taking care of me today. I may not have liked it at first, but I'm happy you came. Even after all this time, you make me feel like myself again." She smiled up at him seeing the gleam in his eyes. "I'm not saying I won't fight you in the future. I can be as stubborn as you. But, I will always be happy to see you even if I don't always show it."

"If you didn't fight me, I would make you stay in the hospital, because something would be seriously wrong." Elliot chuckled, making Olivia laugh into his chest. He kissed the top of her head. "But, that's what I want. To be your safe place where you can be yourself. I said I wanted all of you because I do, even the parts that aren't always pretty."

"I'll hold you to that." Olivia murmured before laying her head on his arm, closing her eyes. "C'mon, we should get some sleep."

Elliot smiled and nodded even though she couldn't see him. He leaned down and kissed her temple a final time, whispering before laying down himself. "Love you, Liv."
