Olivia woke up the next morning around 6 o'clock and noticed a muscular figure in the bed next to her, causing her to quickly sit up. "Elliot!"
He rolled over and woke up, looking at her. "Yeah Liv?"
"What are you doing over here? Why aren't you in your bed?"
He sat up too. "Because last night you were tossing and turning and talking through your sleep. You kept saying 'Dean leave me alone' and 'Dean get out'. So i came over here to hold you because i guess you were having a nightmare and immediately you calmed down, so i just went back to sleep."
"Oh. So nothing happen? I mean between us."
He smiled. "No Liv, nothing happened. I wouldn't take advantage of you like that." she nodded. "So who is he?"
She shook her head. "Nobody."
Elliot gently grabbed her chin to make her look at him. "Liv, i will never judge you. You can tell me anything. Look it's only 6:15 so we have a while before the kids get up. You can trust me. Okay?" She nodded. "Tell me who he is."
"He's an old boyfriend." she said simply.
"He hurt you didn't he?" She nodded. "Liv, did he ever rape you?"
"No. He was just very controlling and he'd hit me a few times until finally i broke it off with him. For the next month or so, he'd show up at my apartment and try to break in. He'd call me all time and just harass me so i moved and changed my number and i haven't seen him since." Elliot laid down pulling Olivia with him. "I just hope he will leave me alone forever."
"Liv, i promise i will not let him hurt you." she nodded and yawned causing him to smile. "We have a few hours so try and get some sleep."
"Okay." As Elliot made a move to leave the bed, Olivia pulled him back. "Stay El. I feel better when i sleep with you." He smirked causing her to blush. "I didn't mean it like that."
"I know Liv." He smiled and wrapped his arms around her. "Go to sleep."
After breakfast everyone got their things together and headed for the car. "Dad can't we go back to the beach just for a little while?" Maureen asked.
"Believe me Maur, if we could, we would, but i have to drop you off at your mother's house on time." Elliot replied and they all groaned.
"She wouldn't mind Daddy." Lizzie said.
"Yeah she will Princess, and you know that. We can come to the beach again sometime?" Elliot told the kids.
"Can Livvie come with us?" Dickie asked.
"Yeah, can Liv come the next time?" Kathleen asked.
Elliot and Olivia smiled. "Yes, if Olivia wants to come she is more than welcome to come." They piled in the car and drove back to the city.
After dropping the kids off at Kathy's, Elliot took Olivia home. "You wanna come up for some coffee?"
"Sure." He smiled, grabbed her bag and followed her up to her apartment.
"You can throw that on the floor." She told him as she walked to the kitchen.
Elliot dropped the bag by the door and followed her into the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and began kissing her neck. "El, What are you doing?"
"Kissing your neck. I'm allowed remember?"
"Mhmm." she replied relaxing into his kisses.
"And i do believe i'm allowed to kiss your lips as well." He spun her around and gently kissed her lips. He heard her moan and took this as an invitation to continue. He slipped his tongue in her mouth and gently massaged her tongue with his. After several seconds she pulled away.
"Elliot we can't do this. We're partners and you're still married."
He quickly kissed her again and pulled away. "You keep saying that but we still kiss each other. I'm divorcing her and so what if we're partners? No one else has to know." He caressed her back with his hands. He looked in her eyes. "Liv, do you want me?" she didn't say anything. "If you tell me you don't want this, don't want me, then I'll leave and we can forget all of this happened."
She sighed and looked down at the floor. "I.. I don't."
He smiled and picked her up, setting her on the counter. "You're a liar Liv." He kissed down neck causing her to moan. "I can tell you want me by the way you moan when i kiss you." He kissed her lips, quickly pushing his tongue in her mouth. He pulled away and looked at her swollen lips. "I know your afraid Liv because we kind of just met, but i will tell you. I will tell you that i want you. I know we're partners and i know i'm married but i want you." He kissed her again and he heard her mumble something. "What did you say?"
"I want you too." He kissed her. "God, I want you El." He gently picked her up and walked over to the couch sitting down with her straddling him.
He looked at her. "Liv i really do want you. I want to treat you like you deserve. Love you like you deserved to be loved but i want to wait with you. I want to wait until after i divorce Kathy and until I know for sure you're ready." She nodded. "You're so beautiful." She smiled and he pecked her lips. She got off of his lap and stood up. "I'm sorry Liv."
"Don't be. I understand and i actually appreciate that. Any other guy would have went all the way. You really are a gentleman and i respect that." He stood up and kissed her forehead. "Do you still want some coffee El?"
"I'd love some." He followed her into the kitchen and helped her make some coffee.
