Enjoy.
Chapter 6
"Morning," yawned Olivia coming out the motor home. "When did you guys get here?" she asked Nick and Amanda who were sat outside drinking coffee.
"About an hour ago," said Amanda.
"Where's everyone else?"
"Don took John into town to see a Doc about his ribs. Fin went with them to dump the car you and stole," said Nick.
"I hadn't realised John was that bad," she said taking the coffee from Nick that he had poured from a flask.
"They just want to make sure before we set off again," said Nick watching Olivia as she looked around.
"Your Ex-Partner is down by the lake, at least I think that's what he mumbled on his way past," said Nick. "Not exactly a morning person is he."
"Has he been gone long?"
"About twenty minutes ago, he had a towel thrown over his shoulder so I guess he was going for a swim," said Amanda.
Olivia nodded and sat in the spare chair a smile on her face as she remembered her comment about a towel last night. By the time Elliot had got back from the lake she had gone into the bedroom, not wanting to face him straight away after what had happened.
"So did Don tell you the change of plans?" asked Amanda.
"Yeah, the change would be good after the last few days. It was hard on them and really tiring. And now with John being hurt a few nights in a proper bed in a motel will do them good."
"Yeah we heard what happened with those guys….."
"And how Elliot shot them without even blinking," said Nick.
Olivia snapped her head to him. "What do you mean by that?" she asked him.
"Well from how Don described it he shot one man when he was lay on the floor."
"He never had a choice," she snapped.
"Just like he never had a choice when he shot that girl in the precinct?"
"Nick," said Amanda when she saw the look on Olivia's face.
"Don't," Olivia warned him. "I know you're pissed at how he treated me and how he never got in touch, but I have talked to him and I understand now; I now know how hard it was for him."
Nick went to say something and Olivia held up her hand.
"Whatever you're going to say I don't want to hear it. Your dislike to Elliot comes from me and what I told you and how I reacted to his disappearance. You don't know him and you don't know what happened to him."
"But I did see you and how upset and pissed you were. I don't want that to happen again."
"Look, I know your just trying to look out for me, but everything is fine, we are fine. I was wrong to put all the blame on him. I shouldn't have done that."
"Jesus Olivia have you heard yourself. He has been back in your life for a few days and you're…"
"Back off Nick," she warned him standing up. "Just back off…..I'm going for a shower," she said walking off into the motor home.
Amanda looked across at Nick.
"What!" he snapped.
"I know you care for Olivia, but she and Stabler were Partners and friends for a hell of a long time. And from what I have heard they were really close. You showing up and putting him down when you don't even know him, isn't going to get you any brownie points."
Nick sighed, "I know it's just…. You know how hurt she was, how closed off she was with us when we first arrived and he done that to her. If he cared for her, if he was her friend how could he do that?"
"I don't know, but obviously Olivia does know now, and what she doesn't need is you and him going at each other all the time. We are going to be stuck in a motor home with him for days now, so you need to get over this jealousy thing you have with him."
"What the hell you on about? I'm not jealous of him."
Amanda just smiled and stood up. "No, you're jealous of what they had and you're worried now that he is back in her life you are going to be pushed out. I'm not stupid Nick I have seen the way you look at her and I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I don't think she sees you that way," she said walking away and into the motor home.
"Shit," he mumbled throwing away the remains of his coffee and slumping back in his chair.

"You okay?" asked Amanda when Olivia came out the bedroom freshly showered and changed.
"Yeah, I guess," she smiled getting water from the fridge.
"You know he is only acting that way because he cares for you."
"I know," she sighed sitting down opposite Amanda. "But I don't need the two of them going at each other all the time. I have already warned Elliot about it."
"So you and Stabler have talked then?" Amanda asked her.
She nodded. "It was hard not too stuck in here," she smiled. "We cleared the air about a lot of things and he opened up to me about everything that happened after the shooting."
Amanda watched as Olivia's eyes began to fill with tears. "That bad huh?"
"Yeah," she sniffed. "That bad. I should have tried harder to get in touch with him….. He shouldn't have gone through everything he did by himself. I … I almost lost him for good, if…. If his…..Shit!" she said throwing her bottle of water across the room.
"If what?"
Olivia took a shaky breath. "If his gun had gone off….. He tried to kill himself," she said as a lone tear rolled down her cheek.
"Jesus," said Amanda.
"Yeah," sniffed Olivia. "There was me all pissed and moody cause he hadn't called me and he was sat with a gun to his head."
"Has he tried it again?"
"No, and he promised me he never will," she smiled. "He said he has something to live for again."
"And it's not hard to figure out what that is," smiled Amanda and Olivia smiled with her."I mean he isn't married now and from what I heard that was the only thing stopping you guys when you were partners."
Olivia looked at her shocked.
"What?" she laughed. "I have heard the rumours, and I have to say after seeing him this morning, I can't believe you worked with that man for so long without jumping him," she grinned making Olivia laugh."Well from what I could see of him, what with that beard and hair."
"Yeah, I did mention to him about the beard."
"But that body," she nodded. "Definitely don't know how you kept your hands off that."
Olivia looked at her open mouthed.
"What? You can't tell me you have noticed it before," she grinned making Olivia laugh again.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivia and Amanda sat outside in the sun as they waited for Don and the others to return. Nick had mumbled something about getting some rest in the motor home almost as soon as Elliot had got back from the lake. He had nodded at Amanda and smiled at Olivia without saying a word before he grabbed a small tool box from the motor home and headed over to his bike. He had been working on it ever since.
Amanda got up and walked into the home and came back out with a nice cold bottle of water.
"Here," she said handing Olivia two bottles. Olivia looked at her confused as she sat back down. "Well I figured you needed one to cool down after sitting looking at him for the last half hour, I swear to god your drooling."
"What the hell you on about I'm not staring at him."
"Yeah right," she laughed as they both looked over to Elliot who had stood up and stretched, sweat running down the centre of his back as his muscles flexed.
"Does that man live in a gym?" asked Amanda fanning herself with a newspaper.
"He used to when we were partner's; he was a nightmare if he never got his daily work out."
They watched as Elliot picked up his t-shirt and used it to wipe away the sweat.
The door to the motor home opened and Nick came out and stood behind Olivia and Amanda.
"They still not back?" he asked them and they both shook their heads as their eyes never left Elliot, who had now climbed onto his bike.
"It's only a friggin bike," he mumbled as Olivia stood up and walked over to Elliot with the bottles of water.
"Here," she said handing him the bottle. "You look like you could use it."
"Could use a beer more, but I'm trying to cut back," he told her taking the bottle and taking a long drink.
"I did notice you were drinking quite a bit."
"Yeah, it was the thing to do a lot of the time with the gang; it was like second nature to them. But I don't need it now, not like I used to anyway."
"I'm glad to hear that, you act like a bit of dick when you have too much."
"Only a bit," he smiled before taking another drink and Olivia couldn't help but watch him as he tipped his head back and sweat ran down his neck and chest. "Jesus it's so hot," he sighed.
"Yeah it is. Kinda makes me feel like we are on vacation at times."
"You mean when we aren't getting shot at or beat up?"
Olivia reached up and wiped her forehead.
"You should come for a swim later it's lovely and cool in there. We don't know how long it will be until we stop again once we get on the road."
"I don't have anything to swim in," she said as she heard cars approaching down the track.
"Neither did I," he said leaning forward and whispering in her ear as he got off the bike, and despite the heat Olivia felt the goose bumps covering her body. She couldn't believe they were acting like this towards each other. They had always flirted but never like this, this was something new and a lot more. She stood routed to the spot as Elliot chuckled and walked away towards the vehicles coming down the track. She shook her head to clear it and turned around following Elliot as he reached into the back of his jeans and took out his weapon.
Olivia copied him taking out her gun as Amanda and Nick came towards them.
"I guess as there is an RV, it's Don back and the guys back," he said putting his gun back as they all watched the RV and black SUV drive towards them and stop near the other motor home. Don and John climbed out of the SUV and Fin from the RV.
"See you have upgraded us," said Olivia pointing to the RV.
"Yeah, figured we would go for something bigger with more space, hopefully we won't need to change again. Me and John will take the SUV."
"How you feeling?" she asked John.
"Not too bad. They reckon the ribs are just badly bruised, should be okay in a few days."
"That's good," she smiled.
"Everything been okay here?" asked Don.
"Yeah fine," said Nick. "How long we staying here before we head off again."
"I think we should stay another night, get a good's night rest before we set off again."
"Sounds good to me," said Elliot. "What's gonna happen with my bike?"
"Fin will keep on riding it; he is going to keep ahead of us and looking for safe places to rest up. John and I will stay close to you guys without making it obvious that we are with you."
"I'm just giving it a slight tune up," Elliot told Fin. "Just make sure you take care of her."
"Her?" asked Fin grinning.
"Yeah….her," said Elliot walking back to the bike.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The rest of the afternoon went quietly. As they rested up and made plans, they decided to leave the old motor home where it was as Don pointed out the FBI would be charged for any costs and they didn't want to leave any sort of trail.
Olivia watched Elliot as he continued to work on the bike. She would catch him glancing over at her every now and then and smiling, but they never spoke.
Fin came out with a cooler full of beers as Don started cooking food on the small barbecue they had bought. Olivia grabbed two beers and walked over to Elliot.
"You coming to join us?" she asked him as she got close. "You have been over here working on this all afternoon," she said holding out her hand with the beer in it. He looked at her but didn't take it. "I'm sure you will be okay only having one or two," she smiled.
Elliot took it from her and took a large drink before putting it down and picking up a wrench and getting back to work.
"So are you and Nick going to ignore each other the full way back to the city?" she asked him.
Elliot just looked up but never answered.
"El you will need to talk to him at some point."
"Look I'm not the problem here," he grunted. "He's the one that told me to back off from you and not hurt you again. Talk about being possessive."
Olivia sighed and sat on a log next to the bike. "Look when you left and Nick and Amanda started I was a bitch to them. I didn't want a new partner….. I wanted you back. Nothing Nick ever done was good enough and it took me a while to accept him as my partner. I made you out to be the bad guy; Nick is just looking out for me."
Elliot stopped working and looked up at her. "Are you sure it's nothing else?" he asked her.
"What do you mean?"
"Come on Liv, I can see the way he looks at you, he is like a lost little puppy around you…. You haven't broke his heart like you did Cassidy's did you."
Olivia glared at him. "Fuck you!" she growled standing up and walking away. She couldn't believe what he had just said to her.
"Shit!" he snapped as he pushed down on the wrench and it slipped, his hand slipping off and he caught his hand on the bike cutting himself across the top his fingers. He stood up and watched Olivia storming off past the rest of the group and towards the lake.
"Olivia you okay?" asked Nick jumping up from the chair and going towards her. Olivia held up her hand.
"Don't," she warned him. "Just don't ….I need some time," she said turning and carrying on walking away.
Fin looked over at Munch when he heard him chuckling. "What?" he asked him.
"It's like being back in high school," he laughed as Elliot walked towards them blood dripping from his hand.
"What the hell did you say to her?" asked Nick grabbing Elliot's arm as he went to walk past towards the direction Olivia had gone.
Elliot stopped and looked down at Nicks hand on his arm. "Get the hell off me!" he snapped.
"What did you say to her?" he asked again his grip getting harder.
Elliot looked slowly from Nicks hand up to his face. "Let…. Go….Of….Me" he told him.
"Or what?" asked Nick. "I'm not scared of you," he said getting in Elliot's face. Fin stood up from his chair as Don walked towards them from the barbecue. Ready to step in if needed.
Elliot looked down at Nicks hand again and moved his hand grabbing hold of Nicks. Pain shot through his hand from the wound he had just got as he forced Nicks hand off him.
"I really don't give a shit if you're not scared of me. But if you ever touch me like that again I will fucking hurt you," he said getting right into Nicks face staring him straight in the eye. "Now back the fuck up Barbie boy," he smirked pushing past him and walking after Olivia.
Nick let out a long breath and looked around at everyone. "What!" he snapped. "The man is a grade A prick."
"And I'm sure he thinks exactly the same about you," laughed Munch.
Nick went to follow Olivia and Elliot.
"Don't," said Don. "Let them be."
Elliot stood back from Olivia and watched her as she drank her beer looking over the lake.
"I'm sorry," he said walking forwards and standing behind her."I was out of line to even suggest that."
"Yeah you were," she said not looking back at him but felt him standing right behind her.
"It's just I see the way he looks at you and …"
"And what!" she snapped spinning around. "Christ some things just don't change with you do they. I'm single Elliot; men will at times look at me."
"He wants to more than just look," he said raising his voice.
"Maybe he does, but that doesn't mean I'm going to just jump into bed with him. And even if I did it would have nothing what so ever to do with you," she sighed and rubbed her hand over her face. "God you have always done this, every guy I ever dated you had something against him. You always put them down, chased them away, and left me with no one time and time and again."
They just stared at each other neither moving. Finally Olivia turned around and faced the lake again.
Elliot stepped forward so he was right behind her.
"And why do you think that was Liv?" he asked her his voice quiet. "Why do you think I always hated the guys you dated? Why do you think I always tried to chase them away?"
Olivia closed her eyes as he talked and she felt his breath blowing against the back of her neck he was that close.
"I will tell you why," he breathed against her. "It's because they had the one thing I could never have, and I hated them for that," he said dropping his head forward slightly and resting it against the back of hers. "I hated that they had you, and I had to stay with my wife, not because I loved her but for my kids, because I couldn't lose them. I hated that I had to be your work Partner and no more…It killed me inside," he whispered. "It fucking hurt like hell," he said as he turned and walked away from her so she didn't see the tears in his eyes.
Olivia quickly wiped away her own tears on her cheek before she turned around and watched him leaving.
"I never slept with Nick," she told him as he got near the tree line. Elliot stopped walking but didn't turn around. "I didn't sleep with him because…Because there was only one Partner I wanted in my life, but he had left me."
Elliot turned his head and looked back over his shoulder. "I'm back now," he said before walking away.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Elliot climbed out the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist and stood in front of the mirror running his hand over the beard and then through his hair and sighed.
"Time to go," he mumbled to himself as he bent down and picked up the shaver he had got from Fin He set it so it wasn't too short turned it on and slowly ran it through his hair. He hadn't cut his hair properly since he had gone undercover and he watched in the mirror as it all fell to the floor.
He finally turned the shaver off and ran his hand over his short hair and winced as pain shot through it where he had hurt it on the bike an hour earlier. After leaving Olivia down by the lake he had come back and come straight into the RV to be alone and think about what had just happened and what they had both admitted. He had then cleaned up his hand and asked Fin for his shaver and gone in the shower.
He ran his good hand over his beard. He had grown quite fond of it, but knew it had to go. The gang looking for him had never seen him with short hair and clean shaven before. He sighed and picked up the scissors and began to snip away removing as much of the longer hair as he could before applying the foam and picking up a razor.
He heard the door to the RV opening as he began shaving. He didn't turn away from the mirror when Olivia stood in the open doorway to the bathroom and leant against the door watching him shave in silence.
He went to change hands and winced in pain as he tried to grip the razor in his injured hand.
Olivia stepped forward and gently took hold of his wrist.
"Let me," she said softly taking the razor from him. "Go and sit on the stool," she told him. Elliot swallowed hard and just nodded walking out the bathroom and into the kitchen area. She had sat down by the lake after Elliot had left his confession going over and over in her head. She had finally got herself together and headed back to the RV to talk to him. She got a bowl and filled it with warm water and put it down next to him along with the razor and shaving foam.
She put her hands on his bare knees and pushed his legs apart stepping forward between them. Elliot pulled at the towel he was wearing making sure he stayed covered.
Neither of them spoke as she put some more shaving foam onto his face and gently rubbed it in. Elliot could feel her hand shaking slightly, but he kept his eyes fixed on her face.
"I will try my best not to cut you," she smiled as she picked up the razor and carefully ran it over his face.
Elliot couldn't take his eyes off her face as she shaved him concentrating on every stroke she took with the razor. He watched as she slowly licked her lips and tried not to laugh as she stuck her tongue out the side of her mouth as she gently shaved over his Adam's apple.
Amanda stood up from her chair and stretched as she turned towards the RV and looked into the window. She watched as Olivia gently moved Elliot's head to the side as she shaved him.
"What you looking at?" asked Nick standing next to her and looking into the RV. His heart dropped when he saw Olivia tenderly shaving Elliot.
"You okay?" asked Amanda.
Nick nodded. "Like I said she is my Partner, that's all," he said walking over to Fin and sitting down.
"All done," she said picking up a towel and wiping away the left over foam.
"Thank you," he said as she dropped the towel onto the table and their eyes locked onto each other. She lifted her hand to his cheek and moved it slowly over the freshly shaven skin.
"As smooth as a baby's bottom," she smiled. "I've missed this face so much," she told him her voice just above a whisper as her finger moved gently down his cheek and over his chin.
Elliot moved his hands to her hips and rested them gently pulling her closer to him.
"Yours was always in my head," he told her. "Whenever things got bad with the gang I thought of you," he whispered as her fingers lightly ran down the front of his neck and across his collarbone and up to the back of his neck.
Elliot shivered at her touch and felt himself becoming aroused. He moved his fingers under her t-shirt his finger tips moving lightly over her skin above the top of her jeans. He closed his eyes as she played with the hair on the back of his head.
"I would have dreams about you," she said her voice just above a whisper. She closed her eyes and dropped her head forward resting against his as he pulled her closer to him. Their bodies pressed together closer than they ever had been before. "I would dream you had come back to me, and I was so happy," she told him. "And then I would wake up and you were gone again, and I had to go through the pain of losing you all over again," her voice broke as she talked and Elliot opened his eyes.
"Open your eyes," he said softly to her.
Olivia shook her head.
"I'm not going to disappear again," he told her. "Open your eyes."
Olivia slowly opened her eyes and looked straight into Elliot's.
"El…"
"Yeah," he said as their mouths moved closer.
"Ki….."
"YO!...Food is ready," shouted Fin flinging the door open and stepping into the RV. He watched as Olivia jumped back from Elliot and wiped her hand down her face.
"Did I interrupt something?" he smirked.
"Yes," said Elliot his eyes fixed on Olivia.
"No," said Olivia at the same time making Fin chuckle.
"Whatever," he laughed as he just stood watching them.
"Screw you Fin," she said as she looked at Elliot once more before leaving the RV pushing her way past Fin glaring at him.
Fin looked over at Elliot who was still sat on the stool. "I meant what I said before," said Fin. "Don't hurt her. She couldn't take it."
"I don't intend to."
Fin nodded and turned around leaving the RV and closing the door behind him.
Elliot looked down at his groin and groaned when he saw his erection pushing up against his towel. He walked into the bathroom turned the shower on and turned the dial to cold before stepping under the freezing spray.

"Well, if nobody minds I'm off to bed," said John
"Take the bedroom in the motor home," said Don. John hadn't said much but they could all tell he was still in a lot of pain.
"Goodnight," he said to them all as he walked away from the camp fire and into the darkness.
"Do you think we should take turns staying up?" asked Amanda.
"Honestly I think we should be okay, but I suppose we should just in case," said Don.
"I will stay up," said Elliot. "I can't drive during the daylight hours so it's the least I can do."
Don nodded. "Any problems wake us up don't try and handle it yourself."
"I won't"
"Well it's too early to sleep just yet," said Don. "Who's up for a game of cards?" he asked.
"Sure," said Amanda and Fin and Nick just shrugged.
"Not me thanks," said Elliot standing up. "I'm off to stretch my legs," he said reaching over and grabbing a towel before looking at Olivia.
"Don't go far," said Don. "Olivia you in?"
"No thanks, I will just watch," she smiled as she watched Elliot disappear into the dark and towards the lake.
"Everything okay between the two of you?" asked Don.
"Never better," she told him as he began to deal out the cards.
Amanda watched Olivia as she kept glancing towards the lake.
"Why the hell you still sitting here?" she whispered as she nudged her.
Olivia bit her bottom lip.
"If you don't go to him I'm going to," she grinned. "Go…. Now," she said nudging her harder.
Olivia smiled and stood up.
"You off to bed?" asked Fin.
"Stretching my legs," she said as she took the same route as Elliot.
"Stretching my legs, my ass," he smirked as he played his cards.
Don smiled as he watched Olivia disappearing into the darkness.
Nick threw his cards down. "I'm out," he scowled as Amanda shook her head.

Elliot resurfaced from under the water and gasped for breath as he tread water his lungs hurting. He had needed to get away from the camp fire and everyone else. Since Olivia had shaved him and they had come close to kissing they hadn't spoken, and it was driving him crazy.
He had felt like punching Fin when he finally came out the RV after his cold shower and Fin was smirking at him. He had spent the next couple of hours trying not to stare at Olivia the full time.
She looked so beautiful in the light from the camp fire light as she sat laughing and joking with Amanda. Nick had spent the time talking to John and Don whilst throwing him dirty looks, which if he was honest about didn't bother him in the slightest.
He lay flat and floated on his back looking up at the clear skies.
"Thank you," he said quietly as he looked up towards stars. He lay in silence the only sound was the faint laughter and talking coming from their small camp site. He gently drifted towards the shore and as he got close he dropped his feet to the lake floor and into the soft sand and stood up facing the shore.
"Hey," said Olivia who was stood watching him by his pile of clothes.
"Hey," he replied not moving.
"How's the water?"
"Nice and cool, I'm going to miss it when we leave tomorrow."
"Yeah it's been like a little safe haven for us."
"Yeah, kind of makes you forget about all the psycho's that are after me," he smiled.
They stood in silence for a while until Elliot began walking to the shore.
"No…. stay there," she told him. Elliot stopped walking the water was just above his hips. "Just stay there," she said nervously.
Elliot just nodded and froze in the water.
Olivia stepped out of the shoes she was wearing kicking them to the side, as she took hold of the bottom of the tight white t-shirt she was wearing and slowly pulled it up over her head.
Elliot gasped for breath as she pulled her t-shirt off and dropped it to the ground. His heart racing as he stared at her as she stood about ten metres from him in a pair of jeans and a white lace bra. He licked his dry lips.
"Liv I….."
"Don't speak…please?" she asked him and Elliot just nodded.
She let out a long breath as she popped the button on her jeans and pulled her zip down.
"Sweet Jesus," Elliot said under his breath as he watched her strip in front of him pushing her jeans down her long legs. He felt himself getting hard and as much as he didn't want to ruin this he knew he had no control of how his body was reacting to her, no man could have any control of their reactions around her.
She stepped out of her jeans and finally looked up and towards Elliot who was stood still in the water, his mouth slightly open as he stared at her stood there almost naked in front of him.
"You are so beautiful," he told her his voice croaky as she walked towards the water.
"I told you not to talk," she said as she walked slowly into the cool water.
"I'm sorry, but I have wanted to tell you that for so long, I couldn't stay quiet any longer."
She stopped just in front of him and she gave him a little nervous smile.
"I was praying you would follow me down here," he said his eyes dropping down from her face to her breasts and back up.
"Yeah well Amanda told me if I didn't she would, and I couldn't lose you to another blond." She closed her eyes tight and cursed herself for saying that. She opened her eyes and saw Elliot smirking.
"Stop smirking," she told him.
Elliot nodded and stepped forward reaching out under the water for her hand.
"Your trembling," he said as he held her hand and stepped back pulling her deeper into the water with her. "You have nothing to be nervous about…. It's only me," he smiled.
"That's why I'm nervous," she admitted. "We don't…. we don't do this."
"Don't do what?" he asked as they began to slowly move in a circle around each other as he kept hold of her hand.
"This, the flirting…. The touching…. The getting naked in front of each other, we don't do that."
"Well technically only one of us is naked," he smirked as his other hand slipped around her waist under the water. "And all that was before," he told her. "That was when we were still partners and you were off limits to me…. What?" he asked her as she dropped her head not looking at him.
She shrugged her shoulders.
"Come on Liv talk to me, after everything that has happened the last few days and after everything we have talked about and said, don't hold back on me."
"I….I'm scared," she admitted.
"Of me?"
"Yes…..No…..Sort of….. God I don't know," she said as he left loose of her hand and his fingers trailed up her bare arm and to her neck. He ran his fingers lightly of the scar that Gitanos knife made.
"Ask me again," he whispered putting his fingers under her chin and pushing her head up.
Olivia lifted her head finally and looked at him.
"Ask you what?"
"You were going to ask me something earlier in the RV before Fin came in. Ask me now."
"El….."
"Liv your scared of the unknown, so am I. I know you, and you are worried in case we take the next step and it doesn't work. We have flirted for years and it never scared you because you knew it wouldn't go any further, it couldn't go further, but now. Now there is nothing to stop us and you are scared it won't be what you expected…So ask me and let's get it over with, and then we can both stop being scared."
"And if it doesn't work, if there is nothing there?"
"Then I guess we will just have to go back to being just friends. But honestly," he smiled. "I don't think we have anything to worry about."
Olivia took a deep breath and stared him in the eyes and licked her lips.
"Kiss me," she whispered as Elliot dropped his head forward.
"Anytime Benson," he breathed against her lips before his lips pressed against hers softly his hand gently cupping the back of her head as she parted her mouth slightly and he gently sucked on her bottom lip deepening the kiss.
Olivia's heart raced as his lips finally touched hers and she parted her lips moaning slightly as he deepened the kiss slightly before pulling away.
"You okay," he asked her, his lips moving against hers.
"God yes," she replied her hand going to the back of his neck and she pulled him to her kissing him again taking control. Elliot moaned into her as he wrapped his arm tighter around her waist pulling her even closer to him, and he slipped his tongue into her mouth and finding hers.
As Elliot pulled her to him, she felt his erection pushing against her stomach reminding her he was actually naked and the throbbing between her legs intensified as the kiss became deeper and harder. She ran her finger nails down his back making him jump, as his hand moved up her side and brushed the side of her breast before he cupped it gently and ran his thumb over the wet lace and her hard nipple.
BANG!
They both jumped apart gasping for breath and spun around towards the shoreline at the sound of the gun shot.
They both scanned the shore but couldn't see anything. Elliot grabbed hold of her hand and they made their way to the shore keeping as low as they could in the water.
"Can you see anything?" he asked her quietly.
"No," she said as they neared the shoreline and they both scanned the tree line.
"OLIVIA, ELLIOT!" yelled Fin running down to shore his weapon drawn. "You okay?"
"Yeah," said Elliot pushing Olivia behind him so Fin couldn't see her almost naked. "Who the hell fired the gun?"
"I don't know," said Fin.
"Sorry about that," said Nick coming out of the tree line," a smug look on his face as he looked down at Elliot and Olivia in the water. "I thought I saw someone in the tree's, must have been a squirrel or something."
"What the hell were you doing sneaking around in the trees?" asked Olivia.
"Just doing my job and protecting biker boy," he told them. "Wouldn't want anything to happen to him, would we?"
"And you thought firing you gun at a fucking squirrel is protecting me?" asked Elliot as Amanda joined Fin.
Nick shrugged. "So I made a mistake, it seems I'm not the only one making a huge mistake tonight," he said looking past Elliot to Olivia.
"What the hell do you mean by that you little prick?" asked Elliot making a move towards the shoreline.
"El, stop," said Olivia taking hold of his arm and glaring at Nick.
"Liv he shot his gun on purpose," he said and Fin and Amanda looked at Nick.
"Nick," said Amanda glaring over at him. "Is that what you done."
"I told you it was a fucking squirrel, I made a mistake."
"You said you were going to bed," said Fin. "What the hell you doing down here?"
"I took a wrong turning," he laughed.
Elliot went to make a move again pissed off at his smirking and laughing.
"El….. Baby, don't," said Olivia stepping around him and facing him. "Just leave it," she said cupping his face and trying to calm him down. She was just as pissed with Nick as he was, but now wasn't the time to get into it.
Elliot looked at her, a goofy smile on his face at her calling him baby.
"What?" she asked him.
"Nothing Baby," he smirked before leaning in and kissing her softly.
"Jesus Christ," said Nick storming away back through the trees to the RV.
Fin turned to Amanda as they turned away from the lake. "Talk to Nick and sort this out. Because if he keeps pushing Elliot like he is, he is going to end up in hospital and out of a job. Don won't put up with him putting every body's life in danger. We are here to protect Elliot and get him back, whether Nick likes him or not."
"I know," she said as they entered the clearing and saw Nick entering the same motor home as John and slamming the door.
Think it could be time for M rated chapter to finally appear.
