.

"Tell me again why the hell we have to go to this thing?" Brian complained as he attempted to straighten his black tie.

"Because it's a charity fundraiser and it's for a good cause and Cragen said we all have to be there and if I have to go, you do as well" Olivia called back from the bathroom as she carefully applied her black smoky-eye style makeup.

"But it's Valentines Day"

"You hate Valentines Day Bri, so don't even play that card" Her laugh echoed in the bathroom as the glorious sound bounced of the tiled walls.

"Yes, I do hate this rancid over-commercialised holiday but I'd rather spend that day with you in our bed than in a hall with a whole bunch of NYPD cops past and present dressed up in monkey suits talking about how 'it's not the same as it used to be'"

"That is the most romantic thing you have ever said to me" Olivia grinned jokingly as she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her chin on his shoulder. "And you look really good in a monkey suit" Her voice low as she whispered in his ear.

"And you look really good in this" He quickly spun around and grabbed her slender body pulling her firm against him, one hand tight round her hips, the other slipping to her thigh and under the silky black fabric of her robe.

"Hmm, thank you" She whispered, her hands pressed against his chest, her fingers tangling in his lapel, pulling him closer as their lips connected.

"Please don't make me go…I'll make it worth your while" Brian pleaded as he nodded towards the bed

"I'm sure you will" She whispered against his lips and kissed him again "But I'll get shot if I don't turn up, we have a table and Cragen expects us all there, including you"

"I work for Narc."

"True, but you're with me now and he knows that, so you have to come" She grinned "Plus, you don't want to leave me there with all those men when I'm wearing that dress do you?" She batted her eyelashes and smiled

His eyes widened "What dress?"

"Oh yeah…" She grinned slyly and walked towards her closet "You haven't seen it yet"

"Liv…I swear to god…"

"Go out there, I need to finish getting ready" She pushed him towards the bedroom door and out into the living room.

"Liv I wanna…"

"You'll see it soon" She winked and closed the door on him.

Olivia turned back into the bedroom and laughed as he mumbled to himself outside the door. They had been together officially for now just over a year, even longer if you count the couple of months of casual sex and dinner dates before that and she had never been happier. After meeting up on a case they fell back into their old routine of drinks and sex like they did their first year at SVU before everything got messed up. Now they were a few years older and somewhat wiser, both realising quickly that the job was not the most important thing in the world and that they both wanted a life, that just happened to be with each other.

Although tonight was supposed to be their night, both of them having somehow gotten the night off together only for Olivia to have been told last week about this function and how the SVU squad had a table and they were all expected to attend which ended up halting their plans of a romantic-ish night in with wine, candles and a whole lot of passionate sex, something told her that attending this function wouldn't be so bad after all.

She slowly wandered back into the bathroom and applied the finishing touches to her makeup, she tattooed her lips with her sexy red lipstick, a personal favourite of hers, and Brian's. She grabbed her hairbrush and carefully teased a few of her curls before spraying them with hairspray to keep them in place.

Back in the bedroom she grabbed the dress from the hanger in the closet and slipped it over her lacy panties, the black fabric clinging to her in all the right places, covering her chest and shoulders and leaving her back completely exposed as well as a decent slit half way up her thigh, maybe it was a little sexy for an NYPD function but she wasn't caring, the only person she wanted staring at her was Brian anyway.

She grabbed her heels and slipped them on her feet, her clutch purse that lay on the bed was already filled with the usual cash, lipstick, powder and she quickly threw her cell phone in before spraying her perfume to her neck and wrists before leaving her bedroom.

"Holy….woah" Brian couldn't help but gape at her like a teenager at his first porn magazine. She looked incredible, classy and elegant yet completely sexy.

"You like?" She twirled around and tilted her hip slightly

"I…eh, yeah" He nodded as she swayed towards him; even in her heels he was still an inch or two taller than her.

She dropped her clutch on the kitchen counter next to the bunch of red and white roses he had bought her and wrapped her arms around his shoulders "You wanna leave now?"

Brian just gazed at her, he must have looked her up and down at least three times before even registering that she was speaking to him "I…what?"

Olivia laughed and grabbed his hands "Come on, we need to go"

"But I'd rather stay here and stare at you all night"

"That's kinda creepy"

"Well you're really beautiful"

She grinned and lightly kissed his lips, careful not to transfer any of her lipstick onto him just yet "Thank you"

"Hey hang on a second…" Brian pulled her back and kissed her forehead "I kinda got you something"

"You what? Why?" She looked at him confused

"Because it's Valentines Day, and I'm a non-romantic asshole but you're amazing and deserve all the romance in the world so I thought I'd act like a half normal guy for a change and get my girl something special" He pulled out a long black case from his jacket pocket and smiled as she took a sharp intake of breath.

"Bri…you shouldn't…"

She was cut off when he opened the box to reveal a stunning white gold diamond bracelet, she held her breath as he removed it carefully from the box and took a hold of her hand, kissing her knuckles before wrapping the piece of jewellery around her wrist.

"There, perfect" He smiled

"Bri, it's beautiful, you really shouldn't have…"

"Yeah, I should have, I know I'm not the best boyfriend and I know you put up with a lot of crap from me so why not get you something special?"

"I love you so much" She kissed him hard on the mouth and moaned as his arms slipped around her waist, his fingers gently tracing the soft skin along her spine

"Love you more babe"

.

As they arrived at the Gala, Brian wrapped his arm around his girlfriend's waist, holding her close as they quickly walked across the road and into the large old looking building. He smiled at Olivia who couldn't take her eyes off the sparkling diamonds the wrapped neatly around her wrist.

"Wow, Liv, you look amazing" Amanda complimented the brunette detective as she approached them both, her own floor length hunter green dress hugging her figure.

"So do you Amanda, that colour really suits you" The three of them walked into the large hall that was half filled with NYPD Alumni, detectives and sergeants from past and present with their special someone or alone all turned out for this special event. The room was decorated in an obvious 'Valentines Day' theme, red, white and pink balloons and streamers hung from the ceilings, red roses on the tables, they really went all out.

They saw Fin and Melinda standing by the table that was reserved especially for the SVU team, Cragen was over in the corner talking with a few guys he worked with back in homicide and Nick had just walked in the door.

"Hey guys" Olivia smiled and dumped her clutch on the chair and hung her jacket over the back.

"Damn baby girl, you look good" Fin nodded and tipped his glass in her direction

She chuckled and tried to stop the blush from spreading across her cheeks, she was never good with receiving compliments "Thanks Fin"

"Right, I'll get this round in, who wants what?" Brian smiled and pulled his wallet from his suit pocket, he and Fin left the table with a list of drinks to order as the girls sat down.

.

"You are so hot"

"Stop it" Olivia batted Brian's hand away from her thigh and grabbed her wine glass and took a sip, trying to distract herself from his wandering hands.

"I want you so much" His hand slipped under the slit of her dress, his fingers lightly teasing the sensitive skin of her leg.

"Bri…" She quietly moaned, silently thanking god that Munch had gotten restless and had gone for a wander and was no longer sitting next to her.

"How wet are you right now?"

Olivia whimpered and shifted in her chair, sharply turning her head when he slipped his hand higher up her thigh, she grabbed his wrist and dug her perfectly manicured nails into his skin "Stop it" She growled quietly feeling her need for him soar, she had never been so easily aroused by anyone before, he knew just how to work her.

Brian leaned closer to her, brushed her dark hair away from her neck and whispered in her ear "I'm gonna strip you down and I'm gonna kiss you all…"

"Guys, Look who I found wandering around!" Munch interrupted as he arrived back at the table with his arm around the shoulders of Olivia's ex-partner.

"Elliot" She quietly breathed his name

"Hey Liv, Cassidy, good to see you guys" Elliot nodded in their direction and sat down beside Munch at his insistence.

Olivia felt Brian tense beside her, she had told him everything about her and Elliot's past, their one night together after a rough case involving Victor Gitano that turned into an almost affair before she stopped it dead. Elliot had transferred out of SVU shortly after leaving space for the newbies Amaro and Rollins to transfer in. He knew Elliot always had a thing for her and he also knew that Olivia at one point loved him. Whether there was something still there between them or not, that is what bothered him most.

An awkward silence fell over the table for a few seconds before Munch and Melinda began making small talk with Elliot.

"I'm gonna go get a drink, you wanting anything?" Brian stood from his chair

"Bri…"

"You wanting anything?" He persisted quietly

"No thanks, I'm fine" Olivia watched him leave, the anger evident in his body.

After partaking in an awkward conversation with the others Olivia glanced around in search of her boyfriend, she noticed him leaning against the bar talking away to someone he obviously knew. She excused herself from the table and walked over to the bar smiling at him when he made eye contact with her.

The last thing they needed was to argue over Elliot, she had been completely honest with him about everything that happened between the two ex-partners. He asked and she told, they had both been honest about their past relationships and their complete openness with each other made their connection all that much stronger, seeing Elliot again, as much as it worried her that it would, it didn't change the way she felt about Brian.

She had worried that if she and Elliot ever saw each other again that spark that was there before would be there again and she wouldn't be able to stop herself, but it wasn't. She saw the look on Brian's face when Elliot stood near them, the look of confusion that turned to pain as his mind churned and overthought about her and Elliot and their seven year connection with each other.

"Hey" Her voice was quiet as she stood in front of him "You okay?"

"Fabulous" He smiled, obviously fake "You?"

"Bri…"

"How's Stabler? Still married?" He jabbed, the alcohol in his veins making him angry rather than flirty like he was before.

"Please don't do this" She held his hand that wasn't holding the beer bottle and squeezed it. "Look, I didn't know he'd be here…"

"That has nothing to do with it Liv, hell, the fact that he's here doesn't even bother me, it's the fact that I don't know how you feel about him that bothers me" He turned and placed the now empty bottle on the bar and began to walk away

"Oh hell no" Olivia pulled him towards her and the pair ended up on the large dance floor that was filled with couples slow dancing to the romantic song that played over the speaker system

"Liv…"

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and his hands wrapped around her back "I love you Brian, my god I never thought I would but I do. I'm in love with you and that, I promise is never going to change."

"You were in love with Elliot…" He said quietly

"I loved him, there's a big difference. Anyway it's in the past. I love you."

They moved slowly on the floor, wrapped in each other's arms.

"Sorry, drink makes me jealous" He apologised quietly and kissed her forehead "I'm sorry"

"It's okay"

"No it's not" He pulled back from her and cupped her face with his hands "You don't deserve me acting like a complete ass to you in front of all of these people, especially today."

"It's okay" She held his hands and they slowly moved back towards the table "I'd be the exact same if any of your ex's came in here tonight"

"No you wouldn't" He chuckled and leaned his head down and pressed a kiss against her shoulder. "None of them were as amazing or beautiful as you"

"Oh you sap." She smiled "And yeah I would, I can be a very jealous person, plus I've got a couple of wines in me" she laughed "You're mine now" She kissed his lips as they approached the table, unaware that Elliot was still sitting there, glaring at their obvious display of affection.

.

After another hour or so of flowing drinks, conversation and slow dances Olivia ended up in Brian's lap to make room for the other couple of people that had joined their table. He wrapped his arms around her middle and gladly welcomed her body close to his.

He shifted his gaze from his girlfriend -who along with everyone else was laughing at Munch's ridiculously theoretic words- to her ex-partner who sat glaring at the couple. Brian couldn't help but give him a quick grin; something about Elliot being here and seeing them together made him a little possessive.

He cleared his throat and gently pressed his fingers to Olivia's bare back, gently running them up and down her lower spine. He grinned when she shivered in his lap, her arm tightening around his shoulders.

"I'm so hot for you right now" She leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear

"You're a little drunk aren't you?" He chuckled and kissed her shoulder

"Maybe. You look really hot in that suit…" He saw her eyes darken to almost black with lust, she crossed one leg over the other until her entire, long, tanned leg was exposed from the slit of her dress.

"Babe…"

Olivia grinned and turned slightly in his lap "Can we leave yet?"

.

"You are such a tease"

"You love it though" Olivia grinned as she pulled him by the lapel of his suit jacket and they tumbled onto her couch.

She quickly kicked off her high heels and pulled his body over hers, their lips fusing together in a passionate kiss. "I love you so much" She mumbled, her hands running up to cup his face.

"Is that the wine talking?" He laughed and kissed her forehead and her cheek before wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her up and backwards to straddle his lap

"No" She pushed "It's me" She grinned and kissed his mouth "I'm allowed to get really sentimental on this one day even though you hate it okay? And I'm sorry about before"

"I hate the day, but I'll never tire of hearing you say that" He whispered, "Because I love you too" He kissed her soundly and pulled back "And don't apologise, I was an ass and I'm sorry, you don't deserve that."

"I'm gonna cry and that is because of the wine" Olivia laughed and wrapped her arms around his shoulders

"Don't cry at that" Brian smiled "If you're gonna cry at anything, cry at this…" He chuckled and reached over and grabbed his jacket that lay half on and off the couch, his hand slipped into his pocket and grabbed the little pale blue box

"Close you eyes" He smiled and kissed her softly, making sure her eyes were fully closed before moving her gently off of his lap and exposing the little box.

He got down on one knee in front of her and kissed her half exposed leg "Marry me" He whispered

Olivia's eyes shot open and her hand automatically covered her mouth as her boyfriend sat on one knee in front of her, his suit slightly dishevelled, the biggest grin on his face and the most beautiful white gold, square cut diamond ring that she had ever seen resting in a little blue box in his hand.

"Bri…" She choked

"I love you so much Liv, I know it's only been just over a year but this is it for me sweetheart, you are everything to me and I wanna spend the rest of my life making you happy if you'll let me. So what do you say?" He smiled and pulled the ring from the box and held it in front of him

"Will you marry me?"

"You realise you're being really really romantic on Valentines Day right?" She laughed through her tears

"I thought I'd make an exception this year"

"Yes" She whispered and leaned forward, her hands cupping his face "Yes Brian Cassidy, I'll marry you"

.

Olivia woke the next morning with the biggest smile on her face. She grinned and giggled quietly, burying her face into the heavy white pillow under her head.

"Did you just giggle?"

She laughed out loud and kissed her fiancé on the mouth, she raised her arm from around his back and held her hand in the air, the diamond on her left ring finger shining in the early morning sunrise.

"I think I did" She smiled when his arms gripped her naked body tighter and pulled her closer to him until there was no spade between their bodies.

"Who are you and what have you done with my fiancée?" He muttered against her bare shoulder, his eyes never opening.

"Your fiancée has never been a fiancée before and she's pretty happy about it so if she wants to have a completely out of character moment, let her" She chuckled and kissed his neck.

"I love you" She whispered in his ear, her fingers gently running up and down his toned back.

"Love you more" His deep, sleep laced voice rang through her ears and made her shiver.

Olivia grinned and rolled them over so she lay on top of his muscular frame. She placed a soft kiss on his lips before sliding her way down his body, her lips trailing a path of kisses all the way down his chest and stomach.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?" Brian laughed and pulled the covers from his body as she slid closer and closer to his already hardening cock.

"Hmm, I wanna play" She gave him a sexy grin before pressing a kiss to his hip and gripping his length in her hand, her fingers running up and down before she took him in her mouth.

"Play? Liv…fuck" He threw his head back and groaned, his fingers lacing into her hair as she sucked him hard. He took one look at her and almost died as she looked back up at him, her eyes black with lust, her faded red lips pursed as his length disappeared into her pouted mouth, his swollen head touching the back of her throat.

"Hmmm" Olivia hummed against him before lifting herself away from him and slyly grinning "I think I'm gonna go shower" She quickly jumped up from the bed and slowly walked into the bathroom, chuckling when she looked back and saw his stunned face.

.

"Baby please…"

Olivia pleaded with Brian as his fingers relentlessly moved inside her, his lips wrapped around her clit and she grabbed him by the hair on his head, her moans echoing in the steamy shower stall.

"Oh god, I'm…" She took a sharp breath only to be let down as Brian pulled away from her body, a cheshire cat grin on his face, he grabbed her hips and hoisted her up against the wall, his hands grabbed her ass as one of her legs wrapped tight around his hips, the other lay over his arm, her foot near enough resting on his shoulder.

"Who's playing now?" He grinned as he slowly pushed into her tight, wet entrance.

Olivia moaned and slammed her head back against the wall as she felt his entire length stretch her all at once. She pleaded and groaned as he slowly moved his hips, her entire body felt as if it was on fire as neared the edge again and again only for him to slow down and come to a complete stop.

"Don't come" He growled

"What?"

Brian slammed his hips against hers hard, her mouth falling open as he tipped her hips up slightly and hit that one spot inside of her that made her lose her mind.

"Don't come," He repeated, his hips slamming hard into her again and again.

Olivia pleaded with him as he roughly fucked her in the shower. Last night was slow and loving, but this was playtime, this was rough and passionate; her body was on fire as her arousal burst through her veins. She gripped his shoulders, pulling his chest against hers, her leg went numb with having been stretched into an awkward position for so long but she couldn't complain, the feelings she was experiencing were the greatest she'd ever had. She felt tears brim in her eyes as she neared the edge for the fourth time, she cried out as Brian moved one hand round to her front and roughly rubbed her clit. Her body was on complete overdrive as she shook hard in his arms, his body was the only thing keeping her from falling into a heap on the shower floor.

"Please" She cried, "Oh god please" Her head fell against his shoulder as she sank her teeth into his wet skin.

"What do you want baby? Come on, tell me what you want" He grinned as his hips slowed and she pleaded for him to go faster.

"Harder, come on, let me come, please" Her nails raked his body as he thrust harder into her and seconds later let her finally come.

Her screams bounced off the tiled walls as her body trembled violently in his arms, her nails tore at his back as she felt his own release inside her.

"Fuck, babe…" Brian groaned as he slowly continued to thrust through his own orgasm. Both of their bodies betraying them as he quickly let go and turned around, his back against the wall as he slid to the floor, her body still wrapped tight in his arms.

"Oh my god" She roughly kissed him, groaning into his mouth as her hips continued to tremble in his hands. She snaked her tongue into his mouth as they battled for a few minutes on the shower floor.

"That was amazing" She laughed, her voice slightly croaky from all the screaming she did. He was the only one to ever make her scream, she was never usually loud when it came to sex but he seemed to do things to her that no one else had ever come close to.

"So," He sighed as the water pelted down on their exhausted bodies. "Did you have a good Valentines Day?" He chuckled and grabbed her left hand, kissing the diamond that rested perfectly on his ring finger.

"The best" She grinned and wrapped her free arm around his neck "I love you Brian Cassidy"

"I love you too, my soon-to-be wife."
