Okay so let's try this again since the format was mayhem last time.
Lol so I have a cheek to post this when Unsteady has been waiting at least a year for an update but I feel like to get anywhere with that Imma have to read the whole thing again and possibly just rewrite the latest chapter. So if anyone is even remotely interested in that, please know I'm trying, wish me luck. Have some Bensaro sexytimes in the meantime :) and yeah, this was longer than intended too.
As always, I sadly own nothing, no matter how many times i ask for my birthday ;)

Nick frowned at the knock on his front door, he wasn't expecting anyone and his phone had no missed notifications. Even his mother never showed up unannounced. He deposited his beer on the coffee table and crossed the room to greet his visitor.
His brow furrowed when he opened the door to find his partner standing on the other side. It was nearly eleven PM, but she was still in her work clothes with her hands stuffed into the pockets of her long overcoat.
"Liv?"
Olivia turned to face him and took a breath before she spoke. "Can I crash here tonight?"
"Of course." Nick opened the door and allowed her inside.
With the door shut Olivia lingered in the living room. She wasn't sure what her plan had been really, she just knew that she needed to get away from her boyfriend. She needed space. It wasn't until she was parked outside Nick's house that she realised where she'd been driving to. Now she felt bad for interrupting his evening alone. It'd been a tough week at work and she was sure spending even more time with his partner hadn't been in his plans.
"Make yourself at home." Nick told her, gesturing to the room.
When she didn't respond he turned to really look at her. She looked exhausted. And tense. Truth be told it'd been a while since he'd seen her look stress free.
"Okay, new plan." Nick said, breaking the silence. Olivia looked up at his words but he continued before she could object. "You are gonna have either a bath or a shower, whatever you prefer, you're gonna take your time, de-stress a little. And when you're done, food and wine will be waiting for you. No objections."
"I have no spare clothes. I didn't bring a bag."
"So you can borrow mine." Nick shrugged as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. He didn't wait for Olivia to respond, instead he disappeared to find her some bath towels and comfy clothes.
Olivia thanked him when he returned with two large fluffy towels and a bundle of his clothes for her to pick from. She headed for the shower while Nick moved into the kitchen to organize some dinner for them both.
In the bathroom, Olivia let out a tired sigh when she caught sight of her own reflection. Even she could admit she was running on empty. She turned on the powerful shower and rid herself of her work clothes. She let out a relieved sigh when she stepped under the hot water and began to relax.
Maybe something in her subconscious knew that Nick would make sure she was looked after, and that was why she ended up at his house. Maybe it was that if she was honest, she wanted more than just a partnership with him, what exactly that entailed she wasn't sure, but she wasn't going to think too hard on it right now. Instead, she grabbed the shampoo bottle and got to work on washing her long hair, trying to ignore the thoughts of Nick taking care of her.
~X~
Nick's mind was working double time as he waited on Olivia. He wasn't sure what exactly had brought her to his door, but he knew her relationship was strained at the best of times. The pizza was ready and waiting and he'd heard the shower shut off a few minutes ago, he was just hoping that it had made her feel a little better.
He made his way into the living room just as Olivia exited the bathroom. She was wearing a pair of his sweats and an NYPD t-shirt. The sight of her in his clothes, her hair damp, stirred something inside him but he ignored it. It wasn't the first time he'd been turned on by his partner, in fact, spending so much time with her drove him crazy sometimes, but she was his partner and she was in a relationship. And he respected her enough to never let his true feelings show.
"I just made pizza, I hope that's okay?" Nick said as Olivia joined him in the living room.
"More than okay. Thank you so much for this, Nick, I feel better already." Olivia smiled as she eyes the pizza and beer waiting on the coffee table.
Nick took the damp towels and Olivia's clothes from her, throwing them straight into the washing machine. She watched him curiously, wondering when he became so domestic.
They ate in silence, both consumed by their own thoughts. When they were done, Olivia rested her head against his shoulder and thanked him again.
"You wanna talk about it?" Nick asked carefully as one hand began playing with Olivia's hair.
Olivia sighed. "Nothing really to talk about. He said he wants me to leave SVU. I told him I wasn't prepared to do that and he started acting like a toddler. I told him to grow up and left."
Nick couldn't help but smirk. He'd never liked Olivia's boyfriend, but now wasn't the time to share his thoughts. "You deserve so much better, Liv. Someone who takes care of you, sees your worth and understands why you do what you do."
"You mean someone like you?" Olivia replied quietly.
As soon as she spoke she mentally kicked herself. What was she thinking? Here was her partner, simply trying to be a supportive friend and she was, what? Flirting with him? Whatever she was doing it was highly inappropriate and she only hoped Nick either didn't hear her or would let it slide.
"What do you mean?" No such luck.
Olivia shrugged but didn't move from her place curled into Nick's side. "You always look out for me, even when I don't deserve it or I'm being a bitch. You make sure I eat and make sure I get home safe. You're always willing to listen when I need someone. You put in the effort to make sure I know I'm not alone. You respect and value my opinions at work, even if you don't agree. You've always got my back and you never question who I am."
Nick was taken aback by her words. Hearing it said aloud made him realise that while he may not outwardly show his attraction to her, it manifested in a different way.
"You deserve to be happy, Liv. And I'd do anything to make that happen."
Olivia finally lifted her head to look up at him, surprised when she saw the emotion in his eyes. She could feel his breath on her skin and she couldn't help but let her eyes flutter down to his lips before she looked back up into his eyes.
Neither was sure who made the first move, but their lips met in a slow and careful, but passionate kiss.
Olivia was almost overwhelmed by the feelings ignited in her by the feeling of his lips on hers. She cupped his jaw with one hand and deepened the kiss, unwilling to pull away from him just yet.
They were both breathing heavily when they finally parted and Nick was almost sure that Olivia was about to stand and run a mile. He ran a hand through her hair and tried to resist the urge to kiss her again. He was surprised but didn't object when Olivia was the one to move in again, capturing his lips with her own.
He let out an involuntary groan when she slowly moved to straddle him, trapping him between her thighs. His hands came to rest on her waist as he kissed her back hard.
"Nick..." Olivia whispered as his lips moved to her neck. She was soaking wet and from what she could tell, he wanted it as much as she did.
"I want this, Liv..." Nick began, his voice soft. "But I don't want you to regret this. If we do this, it can't be because you're mad at your boyfriend."
Olivia gasped when she sat back and felt his hard length pressing against her. "I'm not doing this because of him, Nick. I've wanted to do this for so long."
Nick said nothing but brought his lips to hers once more. He wrapped an arm around her waist and lowered them so that she was lying on the couch as he held himself over her.
Olivia bit her lip as she reached up and helped him remove his t-shirt. She hooked her thumbs into the waistband of his sweats and gasped when he leaned over her and began sucking at her neck. She pushed his sweats down to his knees and ran her hands back up his legs, up his back and then down his sides.
Nick shivered under her light touch. He slipped one hand beneath the hem of Olivia's top, his hand traveling upwards until he reached her breast. He squeezed it gently and grinned at the soft moan that came from his partner. He kicked one leg out of his sweats before he moved to pull Olivia's down, he paused with one hand on the waistband of her pants.
"Are you sure?"
Olivia nodded and pulled the sweats down to her ankles, kicking them off as Nick's hand found her thigh. He kissed her again, his hand stroking the sensitive skin of her inner thigh before he made contact where she wanted it most.
She let out another soft moan when Nick's thumb found her clit and began rubbing her in slow circles. "Nick please."
She took his hard cock in her hand and began pumping him slowly. His breath hitched at the action and he was quick to stop her. He took her hand and guided it to her breasts, the sight of her playing with her own nipples was almost enough to bring him to the edge.
Olivia sighed happily when she finally felt him between her legs. She gasped when he pushed into her, stretching her as he slowly buried himself in her heat. His hands were on either side of her head supporting himself as he pulled back and thrust back into her slowly.
"Oh, Nick." Olivia sighed, biting her lip as she started rubbing her clit in time with his thrusts, her hips moving to meet his.
Nick buried his face in her neck, the sight of her beneath him, her eyes closed, mouth open and touching herself was almost too much for him to bear. His breathing was ragged and Olivia was panting already, her body trembling. He sat up and his hands moved to Olivia's thighs, holding her legs on either side of his waist as he began thrusting faster, eliciting a cry of pleasure from his partner.
Olivia squeezed her eyes shut against Nick's movements. The angle was almost perfect and she knew it wouldn't be long before she crashed over the edge. She gripped with couch with both hands, trying to ground herself.
Olivia was panting heavily, barely able to say anything but yes with each breath. Her back was arching off of the couch as her hips moved of their own accord, meeting Nick thrust for thrust.
"Nick, I-" Her words were lost as she surrendered to a mind-numbing orgasm.
He continued pumping in and out of her, prolonging her pleasure while the clenching of her walls around him brought him tumbling over the edge with her. He groaned, gripping her thighs as he shot his load inside her.
They were silent as they lay there, trying to catch their breath. Nick was the first to move, he moved over her and pulled her in for a soft kiss, praying that she wasn't about to run a mile.
She surprised him when she cupped his face with both hands and ran her tongue along his bottom lip. He granted her entry and allowed her to pull him down beside her. He bit his lip and smirked at her when she moved to straddle him, making his dick twitch again.
She licked her lips and held eye contact as she took him in her hand and began pumping him slowly again, working to get him hard. It didn't take long as she started moving in his lap, grinding her hot center into him. His hands came to rest on her hips, guiding her movements until she leaned down and captured his lips with hers.
As she kissed him, she reached down and lined him up with her entrance before she lowered herself onto him. She moaned into his mouth at the feeling of him filling her up once more. She rocked her hips, drawing a low groan from his throat.
Nick let out a breathy moan as Olivia sat up in his lap, rolling her hips as she squeezed her own breasts through his t-shirt. He was never going to be able to look at that top the same way again. Olivia's mouth fell open as she continued riding him, rolling her hips slowly over and over again, reveling in the feeling of his slow thrusts.
Nick was panting for breath when Olivia leaned back and supported herself with one hand on his leg while her other hand found its way to her clit again. She jolted and let out a cry as she began moving faster, rubbing herself quickly.
"Fuck me, Nick!" Her tone was high and he responded immediately.
He pulled out of her, ignoring her disappointment for a second as he turned her around. She was on her knees, gripping the arm of the couch as he pushed back into her from behind.
He pulled her up so that her back was flush against his chest before he started pounding into her. One hand was gripping her breast, holding her against him while the other rubbed her clit furiously.
Olivia was seeing stars and she couldn't breathe from the overwhelming pleasure he was giving her. She was loud, almost too loud, but she didn't care. It felt so good that all she could do was cry out in ecstasy.
Nick groaned loudly as he tensed and unloaded deep inside of her. The feeling was enough to trigger Olivia's release and her entire body tensed and convulsed before she collapsed onto the couch cushions in exhaustion.
"I love you."
Nick froze at her words. She was the last person he'd expect to say something like that after mind blowing sex. Olivia guarded her emotions carefully, and he knew she wasn't one to take love lightly.
"Liv..."
"You don't have to say it back." Olivia told him as her breathing slowed. "I realised this week that life is too short to dance around what you truly want. And after everything that's happened tonight, there's no way I'd be able to walk into work tomorrow morning and act like this never happened."
"I love you, too, Olivia." Nick told her softly.
~X~
Olivia frowned when she woke up. Her body was aching. There was an ache between her legs reminding her of the night's activities, but she wasn't sure why the rest of her was so sore. Until she realised where she was. She groaned as she realised that she and Nick had eventually just fallen asleep on his couch instead of moving to the bed. Now she was paying for it.
A glance at her phone told her it was almost six am and she decided on a shower before at the very least making some coffee for them both.
In the bathroom, Olivia shook her head with a grin when she saw her reflection in the large mirror. There were hickeys on her neck and breasts, and bruises on her breast where Nick had pinned her to him last night. She looked down and laughed as the hand shaped bruises on her hips and thighs.
It was well worth it though. She hadn't felt that good in a long time.
Twenty minutes later she was showered and had just finished doing her best to cover the hickeys with makeup. They were visible but only faintly, at least she was mostly dressed. Nick had put her clothes in the dryer before they'd accidentally fallen asleep on the couch but she knew she would never hear the end of it from Fin if she showed up to work wearing the same shirt two days running. So here she was, in her slacks and bra standing in front of Nick's wardrobe looking for a shirt that wasn't too obviously his.
She settled on a pale blue one. She pulled it on and quickly tucked it in before rolling up the sleeves. When she returned to the kitchen, she could hear Nick in the shower so she turned on the coffee machine and hunted for some cups.
"Good morning." Nick smiled as he entered the kitchen and wrapped his arms around her waist. He let out a relieved breath when - rather than running - she placed her hands over his and let her head fall against his shoulder.
"We should talk about this." Olivia told him reluctantly. "Make sure we're on the same page before we go to Cragen."
Nick nodded and took the coffee she offered him. "I don't wanna scare you, Liv. But if you want me to be honest, I want to be with you, after last night, I don't know if I can not be with you. I'd do anything for you, even if that meant transferring out of SVU. I want you to be happy, so I'll do whatever it takes."
Olivia was quiet for a moment. "It does scare me a little. Because I don't think I've ever jumped into a relationship like this before. But I do love you, Nick. And I want to be with you. But we will have to tell Cragen... And I should probably break up with my asshole boyfriend."
Nick laughed and nodded his agreement just as his phone rang, bringing the start of their work day.
~X~
Olivia felt Fin's eyes on her as she returned from the locker room and made a beeline for the coffee machine. It wasn't until she was halfway back to her desk that her friend finally spoke up.
"Hey, Liv. Why you wearing Amaro's shirt?"
