Thank you very much Reviewers! I appreciate all the feedback, I feel I write Rollaro better as well…Well I don't know if I write it better but it is easier for me to write…Benson is more of a challenge for me. I have concluded this story and will now begin the follow up to FW. Thank you for being patient with me regarding updates – I work 2 jobs 5 days a week and volunteer 3 other days as well.

Olivia walked into the station the following morning, happily greeting officers on her way to the SVU work area. She saw Nick sitting at his desk doing something on his phone, butterflies rushed into her stomach. Then she remembered she was upset with him, he fucked her last night and then snuck out. Liv felt like punching him.

"Morning Rollins, morning Fin." Liv smiled at them as they said good morning in unison. She avoided Nick's eyes and walked towards her Captain's office. He was usually the first person she greeted but today she was going to purposely ignore him for being a jerk.

Nick looked up at her but she wouldn't meet his eyes, he looked at the other two detectives and they exchanged awkward looks. Nick waited until the Captain's door closed then turned to Rollins and Fin, "What the hell was that? What did I do?"

Fin shook his head side to side, "You must have pissed in her Cheerios."

When Liv finally sat at her desk, she avoided any morning small talk. Nick was now annoyed with the whole game she seemed to have going on. "Good morning, Olivia." He said with full sarcasm.

"Hey Rollins, what song was it that Bernie Harrison sang to his victims?" Liv asked regarding a case they closed the week before.

Amanda answered her and then looked at Nick who was clearly upset about Liv ignoring him.

Nick noticed Olivia walk back to the cribs and he followed her. "Hey Liv, what the hell is going on?"

"Nothing, Nick. What's going on with you?" She said quietly in her best "I'm angry but pretending to be nice" voice.

Nick noticed a uni sorting through his locker, "Hey uni get the hell out."

The uni looked up with surprise, he slammed his locker closed and quickly walked out.

"Why have you been ignoring me?"

"I'm not ignoring you, I just don't have anything to say to you." She kept her back to him.

"Nothing to say to me? After what we did last night, you have nothing to say to me? Look at me damnit!"

Liv could hear the anger rising in his voice, she turned to face him, "Calm down."

"You can't give me a good morning but you were fine with telling me to fuck you last night? If not a good morning, you could have thanked me for getting you off, putting you to bed, or even locking the damn door when I left!"

"You want me to talk to you? How's this, thank you Nick for fucking me and then sneaking out once you were done with me." Liv raised her voice to match his.

"Done with you? You make it sound like I used you!" He lowered his voice and looked at her with hurt eyes.

"I think you did…you left my apartment not even 10 minutes after we had sex." She whispered angrily.

"I didn't use you! Was I supposed to stay? You fell asleep! What was I supposed to do?" he asked.

"Gee, Nick! I don't know? Maybe…hmm…Maybe lay down and sleep with me?" Her tone was full of sarcasm.

"Cuddle?! Is that why you're mad? Because I didn't cuddle after sex?" he was exasperated.

Liv turned her back to him again and collected her things from her locker.

Nick knew that must have been what the issue was. He stood behind her and slipped his arms around her waist, grabbing a hold of her hips. "Olivia…I'm sorry. I didn't stay because I didn't know you wanted me to hold you. You're such a bad ass all the time; I guess I just thought you didn't like a lot of mush." He moved her hair from her neck and lightly kissed her behind the ear. "I'm sorry, please don't be like this." He kissed her again, this time between her shoulder and neck. He slipped his hand up the front of her blouse and caressed her tummy. Olivia turned around to face him; he pulled her close and kissed her lips. "I'm sorry." He whispered into her neck, leaving a trail of kisses down to her cleavage.

"Nick…not here." She said with a breathy voice.

Nick bent his knees and bit Liv's breast through her blouse, he dropped to his knees, lifted her blouse and began kissing her belly. "I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

"Nick…Okay, okay. I'm over it…stand up before someone comes!"

He continued to kiss her belly, biting her softly, he slid open the zipper to her slacks and slipped his thumb inside; he softly massaged her clit through her panties.

"Nick" she inhaled his name, she felt herself begin to lose control of the situation, "Nick, I forgive you." She grabbed his face in her hands, when they locked eyes, his dark brown eyes looked sad, full of hurt.

He rose up to her level again and pressed his forehead against hers, "let me make it up to you."

"Yes, but not here. Anyone can walk in right now." She glanced behind him at the door.

He gave her a small kiss filled with immense passion. He smiled at her bashfully and walked out of the cribs leaving his lingering touch on her.

After their shift ended Olivia went straight home to straighten up her place before Nick arrived. She picked up clothes she had littered across her apartment; she found the tore panties from the night before. She couldn't believe he actually tore them; she chuckled to herself and threw them in the trash. She changed the bed sheets and tossed the shoes she had laying around into the closet. She called in an order for delivery from the Chinese place across town.

She heard a soft knock on her door, a smile spread across her face when her eyes lay upon Nick. He looked sexy even after a long day of work…his tie was loosed around his neck and the top two buttons on his dress shirt were undone, part of his front shirt tail was untucked, his suit jacket was nowhere in sight. A few weeks ago he had cut his hair shorter and now wore a bed head sort of hairstyle. It fit him well.

"Can I come in?" he looked at her with a charming smile.

Liv hadn't noticed she was staring at him, "Yes, I'm sorry…got a little lost in thought."

He came in, dropped the bag he was holding and came up behind her and pulled her hips into his, he inhaled her hair, "I want to get lost in you." He slid his hands down to her pelvis and quickly unclasped her slacks and slid his hand inside, cupping her mound. He moaned into her neck, kissing her with wet lips. He pushed his hips into her ass wanting her to feel his fatty.

"Nick" she mumbled.

"Shhh…" he turned her around and attacked her lips with his. He kissed her with eagerness, slipping his tongue into her mouth, he unbuttoned her blouse, letting it drop to the floor, unclasped her bra all while kissing her. He let go of her mouth, allowing her to catch her breath but he continued kissing her jaw, moving to her neck, her collarbone, down to her chest and finally taking her voluptuous tits into his mouth and hands. He swirled his tongue around her nipple, tugging at it with his teeth, and then sucking on it. He moved to the other tit and did the same, Nick could hear Liv's heart beating quickly, her breathing quickened, he knew she was turned on, she continuously ran her fingers through his hair. He dropped to his knees and looked up at her seeing desire in her eyes, her lips slightly parted, and her face flushed. He turned his attention to her belly, kissing and biting her lightly, his hands wondered to her ass, he slipped his hands into her slacks and gently pulled them down letting them slide down to her knees. He slapped her ass hard and smiled as she yelped in surprise. He ran his hands up and down the back of her thighs; her skin was soft and smooth. He nipped at her mound, pulled at her panties with his teeth and slid his hands up towards her ass, sliding his fingers into the bottom seam of her panties.

Her body froze when she heard a loud rapping on her apartment door. Nick started to pull her panties down; she grabbed his hands to stop him. "mmm…no…they'll go away." He moaned at her.

She backed away from his grasp, "It might be dinner, answer the door please."

Nick stood up, "Like this?" he grabbed his hardened dick in his hand. It was tearing through his slacks. The rapping on the door was louder this time.

"Do you want me to answer like this?" she held her arms out.

Nick looked her over, she was naked except for her panties. "Okay, okay." He untucked his dress shirt to somewhat hide his boner. "You really need to get a peep hole." He called over his shoulder.

Liv picked up her clothes and went into her room.

He opened the door and was surprised to see it was not the delivery man. Oh no, he thought. Is she here to visit? I hope not. I have plans to bang up Liv for a few rounds. My dick is hard and now I need to hide it. He turned his body so the door covered half of him.

"Nick, what are you doing here?" she asked curiously.

"What are you doing here?"

Liv walked back into the living room fully dressed. "Who is it?"

Nick stood back and opened the door wider to allow Olivia's unexpected guests in.

"Amanda, Nate…hey, what's up?"

"Waiting on you, I called you from downstairs a few times but you didn't answer. Did you forget about our plans?" Amanda gently chided.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it slipped my mind. Let me just grab my keys and we'll go."

"Is this the date you mentioned?" Amanda asked motioning toward Nick.

"No…it didn't work out with that one. Do you mind if I bring Nick?"

"Nope. The more the merrier." Amanda smiled at Nick.

Nick smiled back, "Where are you going? Does Nick have a say in this?"

"Oh, Amanda and I made plans to go watch American Sniper. Will you come?"

"Liv….." Nick hesitated.

"Please?" Liv smiled and bit on her lip.

"Do I have to pretend to like Amanda's cheating boyfriend?" He was looking right at Nate.

"Nick!" Amanda gave him a pissed off look.

"What? I'm not gonna pretend to like this idiot after what he did to you."

Liv stood beside Nick and touched his arm, "Nick you don't have to pretend to like anyone, you don't even have to talk to him. Just come, please."

He looked at her and nodded yes.

"Look, Nick…Amanda has forgiven me for the mistake I made. I hope someday you can get passed it too." Nate sincerely asked.

"I need to piss." On his way to bathroom he called out over his shoulder, "Liv can I talk to you?"

He waited for her inside the bathroom and closed the door behind her once she was inside. He backed her against the door and attacked her lips again. He pushed his hard on against her hip, "How am I supposed to watch a movie like this?" he pressed into her harder.

"I don't want to bail on Rollins, we'll see the movie and skip coffee after. I will make it up to you once we get back." She kissed his lips and grabbed his dick.

"Mmmkay…but I'm not talking to that asshole"

Liv rolled her eyes at him and left him alone in the bathroom.

A couple hours later, Nick and Liv sat across from Amanda and Nate, waiting on their coffee. The made casual conversation about the movie they had just watched. Nick sat there bouncing his leg, in a hurry to get Liv back to her apartment where they could be alone. He desperately wanted to touch her but knew better. Amanda was cool with Liv but she and Nick were constantly at each other's throats, if he made her angry enough she might tell on them. He wasn't ready to take that chance.

"Hey Nick, what were you doing at Liv's?" Amanda asked with a sly smile. She suspected they were into each other.

"Talking shop and visiting with my partner." He avoided her gaze as a way to let her know he wasn't going to engage the question any further.

"Liv?" Amanda said suspiciously.

"He was just visiting…" she looked at Nick to see if she could read what was on his mind.

The conversation turned into Amanda trying to get Liv to take pole dancing classes with her. Nick listened and fantasized about Liv dancing seductively for him.

He was brought out of his fantasy by someone calling out his name, his head shot up and he looked around to see who it was coming from. He spotted a young woman walking towards him waving excitedly.

"Hey Nick! Where have you been?" the young woman leaned forward and hugged him, Nick only offered a side hug.

"Hey." He gave her a fake, uncomfortable smile. He gave Olivia a quick look, she didn't look happy.

"Where have you been hiding?" she asked again.

"At work…it's been pretty busy. It was good seeing you, though."

"Wow...pretty busy because you couldn't even text me back. I miss hanging out with you." She beamed at him and placed her hand on his chest.

"Yeah…sorry about that." He looked back at Liv, she was pissed. Her apparent jealousy turned him on.

"Who are you here with? Oh god, are you on a date?" she gave him a shocked look.

"No… this is my partner Olivia Benson and this is Amanda Rollins, another detective in our unit. Ladies this is Nancy."

"Natalie, actually." She reached out and shook the ladies' hands.

"Sorry, Natalie." Nick corrected himself.

"How do you know Nick?" Amanda asked.

"Oh, we met at The Hafbrau, where I bartend. We hit it off and hung out a few times."

"Natalie, it was really nice meeting you but I should head home." Liv stood up and hugged Amanda goodbye.

"Liv, wait." Nick called after her.

"Nick, it's late. I'm tired. I'll see at work." She gave him a disappointed smile.

He watched her get into a cab, knowing she was pissed. "Hey I'm gonna get out of here, too." He walked out of the café not hearing them say goodbye to him.

Liv was in bed, moping, on the verge of tears. Upset with herself for crossing the line with Nick. She knew nothing was going to be the same after tonight. She heard a knock on her door, dragged herself to the door and angry butterflies shot into her stomach when her eyes fell onto Nick's face. She tried to close the door on him but he held it open.

"Liv, please let me explain." He pleaded.

"There's nothing to explain Nick."

"Yes, there is. I know you aren't happy with me right now but please let me in."

She walked away from the door and he followed her into the kitchen. "Liv, look at me. Please?"

"What Nick? What do you want from me?" She questioned.

"Why did you get so upset in the café?"

"No reason, Nick. I just didn't realize until tonight how much you slept around."

"What are you talking about?"

"The waitress from last night at the bar, the one from Café Noir, and now this one. Do you fuck waitresses from every restaurant or bar you go to?" Anger was now evident in her voice.

"No…" He pulled her into his arms.

"It sure as hell seems like it." She said calmly.

"Can I explain, please?" he pulled her down on the couch with him. She met his eyes giving him the go ahead.

"It was just those three. A few months after Maria and I separated I began to notice that women gave me a lot of attention, so two months ago when my divorce was final I allowed myself to get a little carried away, the attention went to my head. I guess I never noticed before because Maria was the only woman I could see… I slept around with those women a few times. I didn't date them, I don't love them. I'm sorry if I hurt or offended you, that's the last thing I want to do. I like you Liv. I'm crazy for you." He slid down to his knees and took hold of her hands. "Please give me one more chance to prove this to you."

Liv tugged at his hands signaling for him to get off his knees. He did as she wanted. "Are you sure it was only those three?"

He looked deep into her eyes, "yes, I promise." He gave her a small kiss on the lips.

She stood up, holding his hand she led him to her bedroom. He lay her down on the bed and took off her clothes one piece at a time, pausing briefly a few times to engage her in a passionate kiss. When she was completely of clothes he began to undress himself. He littered her body with kisses starting at her feet, legs, working his way up her thighs, hips, belly, arms, breasts, shoulders, neck, forehead and finally her lips, he kissed her long and hard with intense emotion, trying to fill her with everything he felt for her. He gently entered her and made sweet love to her.

A couple months later, Nick lay in his bed holding Olivia in his arms, inhaling the scent of her hair. It was rare she was ever upset with him but on the few occasions that she was mad at him he could not stand it. He would go above and beyond to ensure her happiness with him and if that meant cuddling her for hours on end, then it would be done. They had been spending many nights after work together; falling into the routine of going straight to Nick's house after work and ordering in for dinner. Nick told her he liked ordering in because he loved having her as his appetizer before the food arrived. Olivia willingly gave into him and his sexual appetite.

She didn't like it too much when they went out to dinner and waitresses tried to flirt with him right in front of her. She now knew he had slept around some after his divorce but she didn't hold it against him. A part of her though, wondered why he slept with random women but only flirted with her. Why did it take him so long to finally make a real move? Little thoughts like that sometimes appeared in the back of her mind, she tried her best to shake the thoughts away, remind herself that she trusted him and focused on the fact that she was here with him now. She slept at his house nearly every night, making it impossible for him to see other women. Olivia wanted him all to herself.

Things at work remained the same; they worked great together as partners and kept up the playful banter that had always been there between them. No one suspected they had something going on.
