It was almost as if she was undercover again - at work, Casey and her would behave as professional as two people could be. She wasn't giving the ADA the distant-cold treatment anymore, but they still kept it at one arm length away nonetheless.
Elliot even said she should apologize for once to Casey for the whole Charlie incident, because it was "evident she was still pissed at her for that". Olivia had to hold back her amusement for being too convincing for once in her life.
It wasn't the ideal situation, but a lot was at stake if people knew about what they had been up to. Eventually they would know. However for now, they were trying to do whatever they could, the best way they could, to make it work.
On the other hand, the affection between them seemed to be growing every time they would find themselves alone - since that night at Casey's two weeks previously, visits at each other's places had become more frequent. Even though they were not able to spend a lot of time together because of their work, they would make it as often as possible and seize every second of it.
Most of the middle-schooler shyness they initially had was gone by now, so there were a lot more tender embraces, hand holding, soft face caresses and steamy reprises of the making out they had done at Casey's kitchen that night.
That was probably the biggest difference Olivia had noticed, when looking back at previous experiences and dates she had had before, with men. She didn't feel that weird pressure she always felt - especially in those few times she really wanted to take more time with -, feeling like the guy would quickly lose interest if they didn't get intimate soon.
It wasn't like she didn't want to go to a next level with Casey - the thoughts she had been having about the ADA emphasized quite the opposite -, but she did enjoy they were just letting things happen on their own. It would probably be considered "taking too long" or "losing the momentum" for someone looking from the outside, but Olivia was too busy falling for her friend more each time she saw her to care about standards.
They had even fallen asleep together once in Olivia's bed, when it got a little too late for Casey to go back home - or that's what they told themselves.
Liv lended her a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants and they got into bed, cuddling themselves to sleep like it was a second nature, no pressure or sexual advances. It was an odd, unprecedented situation for both of them, but a pleasant one nonetheless. And even if they were consciously "proceeding with caution", Olivia was aware it was just a matter of time for things to start happening.
It was like a very long song that started slow and soft and then grew in intensity as it rolled.
Olivia also had noticed that she didn't feel like she had to "impress" Casey for they've known each other for years already, but most importantly she didn't feel like she had to behave in certain ways in order to be accepted or to be considered "attractive".
More times than she could, she noticed guys would feel intimidated by her position as a senior detective, and by the fact she clearly was someone who wouldn't bend herself to fit into their lives or ideas. That got old really fast. It was one of the reasons why she simply avoided going out on dates nowadays, or avoided too much talking and just getting straight to the point. Normally that would actually be what guys wanted - getting laid without worrying about talking before and / or after -, but she had her share of clingy dates, like Cassidy had been when they had hooked up years before. Those were the worst type to get rid of.
With Casey, Olivia suddenly saw herself free from all of that, and from things she had never even thought of before - like finding herself exactly where she was at that very moment, with Casey straddling her lap and kissing her deeply, Olivia's hands gripping her hips tightly.
There was no way she would ever have this kind of experience with a man, because "that's not what girls do". Even coming forward and letting her feelings be known the way she had done with Casey would scare a lot of dudes out there, for the same stupid, outdated reasons. And the list went on, featuring many other things like that and some that were way too subtle to pinpoint in people's behaviors, but she still knew they were there.
And there were other big differences Olivia still had no idea of, but was about to find out really soon.
She was surprised by Casey's gesture - they were just hanging out at Olivia's living room that night, talking and drinking some wine like they always did. Silence fell in the little space between them and making out was as inevitable as the force of gravity.
Casey then landed their glasses on Olivia's coffee table and as if she had done that a million times already, she straddled Olivia's lap. Casey stared into her brown eyes when Liv leaned her head back, looking up at the ADA with dark cloud intent in her irises. She placed her hands on Casey's thighs, waiting for her move.
Casey pulled her red hair all to one side, placing that arm on the sofa behind Olivia's head to support her torso. She placed her other hand on Liv's face, leaning close, their eyes never ceasing the stare between each other. She caressed the detective's chin with her fingers, even paler against Liv's warm, lion-gold skin.
Pretty or beautiful or gorgeous still can't describe, Casey thought, even when her thumb caressed Olivia's bottom lip and she parted them a little, anticipation imbued in that small reaction.
It was so, so much more than that.
Casey leaned forward, kissing the corner of her mouth to tease her a bit before fully going for her lips, slowly. It didn't take much for Casey to feel Liv sliding her hands up her thighs towards her hips.
It was as if they were in a pleasant slow-motion where they could feel every little thing, amplified - the tips of their tongues touching their lips and lips being tenderly held between teeth and how soft one was under the other's caresses. Casey's warmth against Olivia's body and Olivia's thundering heart against her chest.
Liv felt her friend's warmth against her gripping hands, but it was not enough. She slipped her hands under Casey's shirt, seeking for the lovely, addictive burning sensation of their skin touching. Since the first time she had done it, it had become one of her favorite things to do.
Casey made no objection at all, sliding her own hand from Liv's face to her chest, touching the skin that her shirt wasn't covering for a moment, before getting greedier and sliding it a little lower to Olivia's breast.
The gesture made the detective's desire for her skyrocket and soon enough she was exploring Casey's body underneath her clothes and it didn't take long for her to take Casey's shirt out for once. She let Olivia do it, the dark intentions now in Casey's spring-colored eyes too, her pupils like black suns, large with desire. It intensified when Olivia's lips made a generous trail of kisses from Casey's mouth, down to her neck and chest.
Distracted with her task, Olivia's skin rose in strong shivers as if she was swept by sudden winter winds when Casey brushed Liv's hair aside to kiss and hold her earlobe between her teeth. Olivia couldn't hold back the brief groan that came from her throat nor her need from spreading from her center to the very tip of her fingers and toes.
Under Olivia's lips and hands all over her, Casey's situation wasn't at all far from the detective's as she felt herself getting more aroused by the minute, Liv's electric touch attracting her like a moth to the fire
They didn't have to think a lot about it.
"Let's go." Casey managed to whisper into Olivia's ear, her voice giving away her need. She didn't have to ask twice, as a second later they rushed to the bedroom, Liv pulling her by the hand.
It was Olivia who took the control of the situation right away, telling Casey to lay down as soon as they stepped into the bedroom. The ADA did that, feeling galaxies spinning in her stomach and under her skin when she saw Olivia unbutton her own shirt and taking it off before moving herself on top of her.
As she did that, Casey saw that lioness-strength energy and stare she had always seen in Liv, but now totally repurposed - it was usually about survival, sheer determination and often, anger; now, it was just dark clouds in her eyes in a stormy yearning. Casey had barely been introduced to that side of Olivia and she already loved it to death.
Probably taking her "oh no, she IS hot" face for a nervous one, Liv looked down at her, the intensity previously in her eyes melting when she whispered.
"We don't have to do this if you don't want to."
Casey smiled for a second, thinking it was really touching how Olivia was thinking about her well-being above everything. That was incredibly sweet. But soon her smile intensified into a smirk - she wanted Olivia to touch her somewhere else.
She clamped Olivia's hips with her thighs, pressing their bodies together. She buckled her hips up against Liv's.
"I do want it, Liv.", she overkilled.
It was all Olivia needed for the hunger to come back to her brown eyes at full force. And it was with that same full force that Liv went for Casey's neck, not only kissing but giving her soft bites as well. Olivia asked Casey to unclasp her bra since she was using her arms to support herself over her, and soon it was being tossed aside. Liv felt Casey hold her head against her chest when she went back to her kiss-and-bite trail, now finding its way on the new uncovered, soft skin of her lovely friend.
At the same time, one of Liv's hands slowly slipped down, caressing Casey's abdomen, and going further, reaching the waist of her jeans and swiftly unbuttoning it, giving enough room for her hand to continue its way down. Over her underwear, Olivia pressed Casey just a bit.
It was enough to make Casey let out a short moan and make her hips buckle up again, the involuntary kind this time, reaching out for Liv's touch. Olivia smirked against Casey's soft breast she was kissing, already feeling on her fingers the ADA's arousal soaking up the fabric of her panties.
Olivia wouldn't deny she had her share of dirty thoughts about her and Casey together, before and after telling her about her feelings - she also wouldn't deny such thoughts even led to other things when she was alone at night, on that same bed. But truth be told, she was a lot nervous about not knowing what to do when it was time.
That was something she was debunking at that exact moment, and thinking how silly she was for even thinking that.
Not only because her moves and actions were coming out so natural as if she had done it a million times already, but due for obvious reasons, she knew perfectly well what buttons to push. Quite literally. Olivia heard Casey moan again, louder this time, and she wasn't even inside her panties yet.
Seems I'll have to change that, she thought to herself, going back to her knees so she could make that happen. With Casey looking down at her with solar eclipses for eyes and parted lips, Olivia pulled her pants out, and then the black pair of panties Casey had totally ruined.
Olivia had already concluded before that if she wasn't really some old starry god's offspring, Casey really felt like one in their kisses and caresses; but now, she was able to confirm at first hand that she definitely was one, from the greek-statuesque curves and features, to the red hair tossed on the pillow, framing her face like a crown made of fire, to the way she was looking at her with a disire just as burning, to literally every single detail that made Casey Novak, Casey Novak.
Casey gave her one of those lopsided smiles. The detective knew how to push the right buttons, but so did Casey - Olivia's heart thundered louder than anything against her ribs and ears as she watched when Casey simply spread her legs apart, not only to break Liv's brain, but also to make the message clear.
"Please, don't do this to me" was a constant thought that crossed Olivia's mind, and everytime it was because Casey was doing something she didn't want her to stop doing, and that one deed in specific was no exception.
Before all of that, one of Olivia's girl-on-girl-rookie fears was that she wouldn't like going down on Casey, but that was another theory that was quickly being busted. She bowed down, laying on her stomach and positioning herself. She then parted Casey's lips and pressed her smooth skin with her tongue, going straight to the spot Casey was craving so much to be touched.
Casey felt her entire body warm up in the very second Liv's tongue met her, one hand going back to hold the wall behind her and the other landing on Olivia's head, her fingers intertwining with her loose curls.
Her legs laid spread over Liv's shoulders, and the detective looked up at her from under her brows, hair falling messy over her face and her lust so evident in her eyes Casey could almost see it coming out of them like lightning bolts. There was no doubt that that was the hottest thing Casey had ever seen her entire life. She felt her body getting warmer and warmer with each stroke of Liv's tongue.
"Are you sure this is the first time you do this …?", Casey asked, out of breath. She heard Olivia chuckle in a naughty way, and the vibration it caused made Casey let out a long, deep moan, as if it was Olivia's quirky answer to her question.
When Liv heard her name, she thought she was melting right on the spot. It sent an electric whip down her body and she closed her eyes, feeling herself grind against the bed for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, she was ready to send Casey right back to the stars she had come from.
With another body-melting, deep sound from Casey's throat and a harder grip on Liv's hair, the detective pushed two fingers inside, curling them up at the same time she pressed her tongue against Casey's sweet spot.
She was on the edge already, and with Liv's adition it didn't take any longer for the heat running through Casey's blood and the entire galaxies spinning underneath her skin to turn into a massive supernova that took over her mind in a white flash and bright, colorful stars painted under her lids.
Olivia felt Casey's body curl and shake underneath her. She heard Casey's voice, long and sweet and intense and repeating, Liv's name woven in it here and there. Looking up, she was only able to see Casey's chin as she leaned her head back, her torso curved up.
She kept her slow movements on her until Casey's body moved, wanting Liv to stop. Olivia sat on her knees again, wiping her chin with the back of her hand. She had the most satisfied smirk on, as if she was the one who just had a massive orgasm and not her sweet, gorgeous friend laid before her. The thin coat of sweat on Casey's skin made it look like she was all covered in moondust. For the face Casey had on, she probably was, indeed.
The docile, satisfied smile on the ADA's lips was soon replaced by one of desire once again. Olivia knew she was in trouble when Casey sat up, looking stunning than ever with her messy hair falling all over her face, flushed cheeks and eyes alert with the solar eclipse pupils still on, the green of her irises just a crystalline rim around them.
Before Liv could even think, she was the one being slowly stripped, Casey's straddling her again and her hands touching all over.
"It's payback time, detective." she said next to Olivia's ear with a husky voice, sending shivers down Liv's body. She leaned for a kiss, tasting herself on Olivia's lips.
With Casey's gently push of her hand against Liv's chest, she made the detective lay down for her. Positioning herself between her legs, Casey didn't waste any time to free Olivia of everything that hid the full sight of her body. She had to admit she had been thinking about that a lot, and she was quite eager to see if Liv was as striking in the flesh as she was in her imagination.
When she was finally done with her task, Casey smirked, seeing that her mind's eye was pretty close to reality. The only difference was that Liv's muscles were a little more defined in reality, round and smooth underneath her skin, subtle but still visible as she moved.
Olivia was intense and curvy and soft under her touch, and she was staring down at Casey with that dark undertow that always dragged the ADA in. It was that magnetic undertow that made her move forward, hovering over Olivia's body and placing herself on top of her. Olivia held and caressed her, the detective's fingers trailing Casey's spine down slowly and up again, making her shiver and remember that night on her kitchen.
Their bodies finally touched, full skin against skin for the first time. That velvet-like, burning, sparking sensation was the best feeling of the universe. While Casey's left arm laid on the bed as support, her right hand was busy reaching down for Olivia, who groaned when Casey finally touched her.
Liv had the storm brewing inside of her since they were still back in the living room and there was no doubt Casey's hand pressing against her was just adding more and more to the delightful turmoil forming deep inside her.
Looking down to enjoy the sight for a moment, Casey shifted a little and moved her hand, gently reaching Olivia's aching spot with the tip of her finger.
It was literally like when they say a butterfly's wing beating causes a tornado on the other side of the world - at that point Olivia didn't need much to feel the pleasure increase and spread through her body like pouring hot water. She let out a louder moan this time, bending her knee and resting the inner side of her thigh against Casey's body as she caressed Liv very slowly, being careful not to hurt or overwhelm her.
She felt Olivia's hips moving up against hers, seeking for more of that touch Liv was pretty sure she would never get enough of. Casey looked at her face, watching her chin move up and closed eyes, Casey's hair falling down on Olivia's shoulder and neck like another layer of caresses.
Pretty certain Liv was already flooding, she slid her fingers down, finding she was absolutely correct. Casey easily slipped two fingers inside, curled up, and Olivia's moan was loud and lovely next to her ear. She pressed inside Olivia again, and outside with her palm, making Liv repeat her exclamation, hips pressing against her hand.
Casey nuzzled her friend's neck, breathing in the sweet, minty smell of her shampoo and held Olivia's skin gently between her teeth as she pressed against her, again and again. Olivia buckled her hips up harder this time, her arm around Casey's shoulders and her other hand caressing down Casey's side. Under that touch, Casey felt an aroused kind of ticklish - a weird sensation, but absolutely delightful, goosebumps going from the back of her head down to her legs.
While Olivia had been so nervous about getting things right when finally getting laid with her, Casey was very confident all along, once more surprising herself. She knew she would know exactly what to do - which meant things men more than often wouldn't do to her. She tried to keep her mind open to all of it, and her confidence was really showing in the way Liv curved herself up towards her, lips parted in gasps and soft moans, and how wet she felt against her fingers.
However, that was only the beginning.
With a quick kiss on Liv's jaw, she moved, stopping everything. Liv groaned unhappily.
"Come on, you tease.", she complained.
"Oh, I wouldn't say that.", Casey answered before moving out of the bed, kneeling on the floor next to the edge. "Come here, sweetheart."
She said it in a low, alluring way, but the way Olivia moved closer would make it look like an immediate command. Casey placed Liv's legs over her shoulders, embracing them. She smirked, and kissed Olivia's inner thighs slowly, one then the other. Getting closer, but not really.
"Now you are just being mean...", she heard Olivia start.
But Casey made her chuckle turn into a surprised pleasure sound when she finally touched spread Olivia's lips with her fingers and touched her with her mouth. That was also another similarity between the dirty thoughts she had been having about Olivia and her - in her mind, going down on her was incredibly hot. So it was, in real life.
She licked Olivia's smooth skin, taking her time. She pressed the tip of her tongue against her spot and Olivia reached down, gently gripping Casey's hair between her fingers. She had no wall behind her, so she just held the sheets underneath her with her other hand.
The storm inside her felt more like a typhoon at that point, the winds in and out of her lungs as she panted heavily, her mind spinning. She was close.
Casey stroke her with her tongue again and again, looking up at Olivia from where she was, arousal hitting her under that sight. Olivia's moans grew louder and more frequent. With another flick, Olivia felt white lightning crack inside her and divide her entire body in half, thunder coming out from her lips as Casey's name, loud, echoing, repeating. Casey tought she would burst into flames right on the spot only by the sound of Liv's lovely, sweet moans until they started to fade, slowly.
She then stopped and moved her arm, placing it over Olivia's thigh. She rested her chin against her hand with a satisfaction smile, caressing Liv's other thigh with her free hand as she waited for her friend to come back to earth.
Aftermath electricity sparkled before Liv's eyes, and she took a deep breath.
"Okay. That was incredible."
"You are welcome."
"Don't be so cocky."
"I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with this.", Casey said.
Olivia laughed at her own accidental joke, sitting up.
It was Casey's turn to admire the wonders post-sex was to someone's look - the tossed dark hair and sleepy, smiling eyes Liv had on; her cheeks were very red and her skin was golden, sparkling like dewdrops under the sun.
She leaned forward, holding Casey's face between her hands and kissed her lips tenderly, saying all the compliments she wanted to give Casey, which words wouldn't properly describe.
Their night had just begun.
