Chapter 9 Dinner for Two
"Elliot! Can I come out now?" Olivia was sitting on her bed. She was wearing a very sexy black dress. She looked in the mirror; the makeup almost covered the bruising on her face. She still had bruises on her legs and arms, which made her, feel uncomfortable, but she knew that Elliot would love her in this dress; it showed off her cleavage perfectly. What was he doing out there? She wondered. Elliot had told her to wait in her room until he was ready.
Outside the room Elliot was turning Olivia's apartment into a wonderful romantic restaurant. He lit the last candle. "Yeah you can come out now." He called out to her.
She opened the door; she couldn't believe what she saw. Her apartment looked magnificent. "El, I can't believe you did all this! Wow, I'm impressed!" she said.
"You look spectacular, like wow…oh my God!" He walked over her and kissed her. He grabbed her by the hand and walked her over to the table that was covered in maroon linens and decorated in rose petals. He felt a little guilty about breaking the roses that Casey had bought Olivia, but it looked so damn romantic he couldn't help himself.
After dinner was finished, Elliot got up and starting clearing the table. He was washing the dishes as Olivia came up behind him and wrapped her hands around his waist.
She kissed the back of his neck, "You look so sexy washing my dishes Stabler." she said between kisses. He turned around wide eyed and aroused. Since they confessed there love for each other he had always been the aggressor. He couldn't help it, he was so turned on that Olivia was the one instigating the romance. His hands were wet from the dish water, but he wasn't going to waste time to dry them off. He picked her up and set her down on the counter his hips between her legs. They were making out and it was hot! His hands worked fast moving from her waist to her face, down her back, she arched her back and new that there was going to be no stopping it this time. He lifted up her shirt as he kissed her neck, her mouth was drawn open and she let out a soft moan. She could feel his heart beating against hers. He pressed up against her causing some dishes to fall and break as soon as they hit the floor. He stopped and looked down at the mess, he gave her a look like, and 'do we clean this up now?' He knew the answer when she grabbed him closer and brought his lips to hers.
He picked her up and carried her to bedroom where he laid her down ever so gently on the bed. "Are you sure you're ready for this?" he asked with concern. Again her response was pulling him closer and placing his body against hers. His tie came off, followed by his button down. She kissed his chest up and down. "I want you so much Olivia." he whispered.
"That's good, because you're going to get me..." The rest of there clothes came off and they were engaged in the hottest passion either of them had ever known. He was mounted on top of her. Her legs spread wide open anticipating what was about to happen, and she felt his fingers go slowly inside her. It was magical.
He rubbed her core until he knew she was ready. "I want you in me El." She panted. He grinned. He carefully placed himself inside her. They moaned at the same time. He was good, he was damn good. Her body went numb and she lifted her back as she screamed, "ohh Elliot". He was panting it was love making at its best, and it felt amazing. In and out and in and out. He was gentle and forcible at the same time. He looked into her eyes, there were no other people in the world then these two best friends turned lovers.
"Olivia! Olivia" he screamed over and over. She turned the tables on him and rolled him over she was now on top of him. The bed was bouncing and he hoped that it could handle the intensity of there love making. He rolled her over and took the top position again. He grinded himself into her harder and faster.
"I love you." she moaned out. He was climaxing and so was she.
"You're amazing." He whispered. He pounded her firmly and she gave him all she had. She felt his fluid enter her body followed shortly by her own. He collapsed next to her, both of them hot, sweaty and completely out of breath.
He rolled over to her, "Oh-- my--God!" he said, "Oh! My God!"
"I know!"
"Why were we not doing this all along!?" he asked.
He had his arms wrapped around her naked body…it was then that they both noticed something…a smell---it was smoke! They looked at each other--"THE CANDLES!" they shouted. They both jumped out of bed, "Yup we got a fire!" Elliot said trying to remain calm. He watched Liv put on her bath rob and she threw him a towel to wrap around himself.
He ran to the kitchen and filled a bowl full of water and poured it over the fire, "Yeah, Liv, I'm going to need your help." He said to her. She was frozen in time. She ran over to him and filled another bowl. They had the fire out after a few trips back and forth from the faucet to the fire that was on her table.
They stared at the damage, and laughed, and laughed. They couldn't stop laughing. "We were so hot we started a fire!" Elliot laughed out. But their laughs were quickly interrupted when they heard a knock at the door. There eyes widened. Elliot went to the door and looked out the peep hole, "It's Munch!" he whispered to Olivia.
She came to the door; she had to look for herself. "Oh my God Elliot, what are we going to do!?" she mouthed to him.
"Say something!" he quickly mouthed back.
"Olivia--are you ok are you in there?! I smell smoke, are you ok!?" John said from outside the door. They were panicking. "Olivia I'm coming in!" John shouted.
"John?! Is that you?" Olivia said quick to react, as she shrugged her shoulders at Elliot.
"Liv--let me in I smell fire!" he yelled.
"Umm...ah…" Was all she got out.
"Olivia let me in already!" Munch yelled.
"I have too." She mouthed to Elliot.
"Ok John, I'm going to open the door…" she said as she turned the deadlock…"Hide! Run…go!" She mouthed to Elliot. He kissed her on the lips and ran to the bathroom. She smiled, that little kiss was so cute she thought.
She waited until Elliot was in the bathroom and the door was shut. She took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Olivia are you ok!?" Munch asked with much concern as he entered her apartment…"What the hell happened here!" he asked her.
She looked around her apartment. Oh my God, what a mess she thought. Candles were still burning on her coffee table, the dinner table was still smoking, there were dishes smashed on the floor, and then she saw it her bed room door was left opened, and the sheets were all over the place, not to mention Elliot's and her clothes were all over the floor…and his badge was on the floor, just feet away from John. Fuck! She thought and she prayed John did not notice them.
Munch gave her a very curious, very suspicious look.
"Ummm…John," She started to say…but she had no idea what to say…She was speechless she couldn't think of anything that would explain the mess that was her apartment. She had nothing, "ahh…ummm" was all she good get out.
Elliot had his ear pressed up against the bathroom door. He couldn't do anything to help his partner with out exposing them.
"What a mess, Huh?" Was all she could say.
"You could say that. What the hell happened here?" John asked again. He wasn't stupid…He knew someone, or some partner was hiding in the bathroom, he was a detective after all. But he enjoyed watching Olivia try to explain this one. And he couldn't imagine what she was going to come up with.
"Well I was hungry, so I ummm…and I ahh…uh" She giggled, "John--"
Elliot couldn't take it, he had to go out there and help her out. He opened the door and exposed the pair.
"I'm sorry." he mouthed to her, "John we need to talk,"
"You need to put some clothes on, cause that towel is awfully short!" Munch said.
"Riiight." He said as he walked towards her bedroom…Shit--what were my clothes doing in her bedroom, and scattered all over the floor he thought to himself as he shut her bedroom door.
"Heh heh…" Olivia gave a very nervous laugh. "Hurry up El." She said under her breath.
"um…Take a seat John, can I get you something?" She asked very nervously, as she tried to pick up a little.
"Yeah a glass of water would be nice, but I'll get it, you should be resting." He said in his classic Munch tone, "…no strenuous activity…" i.e. sex, he wanted to say but couldn't do it to her…Elliot maybe. He thought.
"It's ok, I'll get it." She walked as fast as she could towards the Kitchen. She was pouring a glass of water on the counter…she took a deep breath and remembered what had just happened between her and Elliot. A huge smile emerged, that was incredible she thought. She snapped out of it when she heard Elliot come out of the bedroom.
She entered the room and took a seat next to Munch. He was looking at her legs; she looked down to see what he was starring at, Ah! Her robe had split and her upper thigh was completely exposed. She quickly fixed it and looked at Elliot, who was also starring her, with a wicked smile on his face.
Munch looked at the two of them. "So you going to tell me what happened here?" Munch asked
They both looked at each other. They didn't need to say anything; their glowing faces said it all.
"Listen guys, I'm not going to lecture you about how this can damage your careers, cloud your senses towards your cases, and I'm not even going to bring up the fact that if the Captain came here instead of me, like he was going to do, what he would do to you. No I'm not going to do that." Munch said
"So…what are you going to do?" Olivia interrupted.
"What am I going to do…hmm…? I am going to watch the two of you squirm your way around this. It should make for some very much needed amusement at the station house." He said with a guilty pleasure. "There is just one thing…"
"Anything." Elliot replied.
"How long has this been going on? Months? Weeks?" Elliot and Liv looked at each other, but didn't say anything. "Oh my God, YEARS! You guys have been screwing each other for years!!! I can't believe this! I mean I guess we all had our suspicions but thought you guys were too chicken shit to ever actually do anything…"
"John calm down" Elliot said, "It's recent…real recent..." he said looking at Liv.
"Oh my God, tell me tonight was your first time?" John exclaimed.
Liv and El looked at each other, wide eyed and smirking.
"My God! I'm leaving." He stood up and headed for the door. Before we walked out he said, "I never came over here tonight...k? Oh and Congratulations, I'm really happy for you two." and with that he walked out.
They took a few deep breaths, looked around at shambles their love making left. They laughed. He walked over to her…close to her, and kissed her smack on the lips. She could feel that he was aroused again, and was glad, because she was too! They began kissing firmly, intensely, "I thought he was never going to leave!" El said as he pressed Olivia up against the wall and untied her robe. His hand ran up her thigh and he cupped her breast. She grabbed his ass with her good hand, and once again they were rolling around in her bed, having phenomenal sex.
Olivia woke up the next morning and felt the warmth of Elliot's body next her. He was still sleeping, so she got out of bed carefully not to wake him. She walked out of the bedroom, intending to clean her destroyed apartment. She was in complete and udder shock when she saw that her apartment was already cleaned, immaculate at that! Her heart melted. Who know Elliot could be such a sweetheart?
She went back to bed and cuddled herself around Elliot. "I love you." she whispered into his ear. She didn't mean to wake him, but she did, he turned to her looked deep into his eyes and they were at it again!
"My God Elliot!" Olivia said wiping the sweat off her chest. "We're like addicts!"
"I can't help myself when it comes to you." He said as he kissed her stomach.
"Shit!" She looked at the clock, "We're late!"
"Damn! We can save time if we shower together…" He said still kissing her stomach.
"I love the way your mind works!"

They found themselves alone on the elevator.
"I don't know how I'm going to be able to keep my hands off this bod for the whole day." He whispered over to her.
The door opened and they walked out. "I love you." He whispered from behind.
They sat down at their desks; before they could even turn there computers on the Captain came out.
"Alright people, gather round." He said.
They all turned and listened for instructions for the day.
They couldn't look at each other. They both new that if they looked at each other that they wouldn't be able to hide their feelings.
"Benson, Stabler the vic's parents are here, take them to the interrogation room and ask them everything they know about there daughter." Captains orders.
Before they walked in they were stopped by Munch. "Be careful, the Cap was asking some questions about you two." he warned
They got all the information they could get from Jenni's parents, and the discouraged parents walked out.
"So you think they new everything there was to know about there daughter?" Elliot asked Olivia. They were alone, a very dangerous situation given there current…um…situation.
He was close to her…too close, and that is when the Cap walked in.
She didn't know what to do, she panicked, so she did the first thing that came to mind, she yelled it him.
"DAMN YOU ELLIOT! YOU KNOW VERY WELL WE COULD HAVE PUSHED THEM MORE!" She screamed angrily,
Elliot was taken back at first, but once she gave him that look, that look that made his insides melt he know what she was doing.
"WE ASKED THEM ALL WE COULD OLIVIA! WE WEREN'T GOING TO GET ANYMORE INFORMATION OUT THEM!" Elliot yelled back.
"HOLD IT!" The Captain barked. "You two! Get on the same page, and don't leave this room till this is settled, understood?"
"Understood," they replied, Olivia rolled her eyes at Elliot to make there fight seem more realistic.
Cragen walked out, and he wondered to himself, 'hmmm' he thought, 'maybe I was wrong about them' and he hoped he was right.
As soon as the Cap was out of sight they both gave a look at each other. "You were brilliant!" Elliot said.
"Thanks." she said as she stroked his arm.
"I have to admit, the fighting…well it--um…" he all of a sudden was shy!
"Me too, El, me too!" Liv said knowing exactly what he was thinking. It was hot.
"How are we going to hide us, when we can't keep our hands off of each other?" El asked.
"I think once we get over this…this-we-need-to-have-sex-every-waking-moment- we will be fine." Liv told him
"I agree…so how do we get over it?"
"Like you don't know." She said looking up at him.
"Well, I know what I think, but what do what do you think?"
"I think we have to um…do it until we get it out of system…"
"Olivia Benson, That is the sexiest thing I have ever heard."

They were barley in Olivia's apartment and most of there clothes were off. They weren't going to make it to the bedroom, or the couch for that matter. They were on her kitchen floor, about to engage in another steamy session when Olivia's bell rang.
"--ahh" she said in annoyance. Elliot got up to let Olivia answer the buzzer.
"Who is it?" She said as she held down the call button.
"It's Casey."
"Come on up," Liv said, "here," she said as she passed Elliot the rest of his clothes, and fixed her own.
"El--people are going get suspicious if you're here all the time," she said as she looked sadly at him.
"I'll be waiting in the bedroom" He said kissing the top of her forehead.
Casey knocked on the door and Olivia let her in.
"Hi," Casey said, "You're starting to look better!" She exclaimed.
"Thanks, I'm starting to feel better." They sat down on the couch.
Olivia was glowing, Casey thought as her eyebrows rose. "You look really happy, Olivia" she said hoping to get some information from her.
"Umm…huh," she said. Shit was it that obvious, Liv thought.
"Olivia! Give me the details! Who is he?!" Casey exclaimed.
"What, no--there isn't any one." She said
"Olivia, you're glowing…You're getting some, and it's good, because no matter how much your trying to hide it, it's written all over your face!" Casey teased her.
"Ok, Ok." Olivia said. "It's my doctor" she lied.
"Oh my God, That's great Liv! Tell me everything."
"Well there's not that much to tell. I went in for a check up, and he was cute, and I don't know, it was nice you know?" She said with a smile. She was picturing Elliot as her doctor, which for the most part he was like one to her.
"So what's his name? What does he look like?" she begged for details.
"Well," she said as she licked her lips, she giggled because she could taste Elliot on them. "His name is Brad, or Dr. Michaels. He's cute, real cute, really great eyes…" Yes Elliot had great eyes she thought.
"Olivia, I'm so happy for you! Has Elliot met him yet?" She asked
"um…Yeah, They get a long great," She said.
"Wow, well I'm glad that something good came out of this. In fact that's why I'm here. I wanted to tell you in person that we won your case today, he was sentenced to 50 years with out parole." She said.
Olivia didn't say anything. She was trying to forget about what happened, forget about his face, but it all came back to her and hit like a ton of bricks. Her bottom lip began to quiver. Her eyes were getting watery, "I haven't cried in 3 days." She said wiping the tears that began to roll down her rosy cheeks.
Casey gave Olivia a warm hug. "It's over now, its ok…" She consoled her friend. "Come on," She pulled Olivia off the couch "Let's go for some pizza and beer at Malonies."
Olivia shook her head no. "I just want to be alone." She said.
"Absolutely not. We're getting you out of this place." Casey demanded
There was no way out of it, and she had to go. "Ok, just let me change first and fix my make up ok?" She said as she walked towards her bedroom door.
"I have to go out for drinks with Casey" She said. She looked at Elliot who was sitting on her bed. "I know I heard…so I'm Dr. Brad Michaels huh?"
"So you were listening?" She said as he pulled her on his lap.
"Hanging over every last word." He said kissing her lips.
"I don't want to leave you." She said.
"I'll meet you there…pretend like we just ran into each other." he said kissing the back of her neck.
"You're so great to me El."
"Alright, now get out of here because we can't start something we can't finish." He said as she stood up from his lap and looked down at Elliot's growing pants…She laughed out loud at him…and then gave him a devilish; look--
"No we can't….she's right outside" She said, "I have to go…I'll see you later hot stuff." She said and gave him a passionate kiss on the mouth.

She was enjoying her time with Casey. Since she was spending 24/7 with Elliot she forgot what it was like to be in the company of another woman. They were having girl talk and Casey wanted to know all juicy details of Olivia's new beau.
"The sex is great." She was saying, "Like it is the best sex I have ever had." She said when there waitress came over with there pizza. They laughed, "Did she just hear that?" Olivia asked her giggling.
She looked at Casey who was starring at the door, "Look Elliot is here." She told Olivia who took a deep breath and turned around.
"Elliot, over here!" Casey shouted to him waving her arms.
"Hey! Casey, Olivia, what are you guys doing here?" He asked as he giggled to himself.
"Just came for some pizza and beer." Casey said.
"Liv-I was just playing ball with Brad, he got called into the Hospital and said that he would call you when he got the chance." El said.
"Oh, ok, thanks Elliot." Olivia said.
"Can I get you guys another round?" Elliot asked the ladies.
"That would be great." Casey said and Elliot walked to the bar
"Wow, it seems like Elliot and Brad have become buddies." Casey said
"I Know." Olivia said smiling.
"So, is it weird that Elliot and Brad are friends? Is he jealous?"
"Is who Jealous?
"Brad. Is Brad jealous?"
"Why would Brad be jealous?"
"Of you and Elliot's friendship, you guys are best friends Liv, Don't you guys see that. You guys have a bond Olivia, and I know you blame the job on your failed relationships, but it's more then that, and you know it, even if you can't admit it, it's because of your relationship Elliot."
"Case--"
"Let me finish--but this new guy, your Dr. McDreamy, Well I think you should make it work, because I want to see you happy, and you look happy Liv and lets face it, apparently he is great in bed!"
Elliot returned with 3 fresh beers. They talked shop for a few hours before Casey headed for home.
"I'll see you guys on Monday, and Olivia I can't wait to meet your McDreamy. Bye Elliot." Casey said.
When Casey left El and Liv stayed at Malonies for a few more drinks. They were having a good time talking and laughing with one another.
"When did you realize El, what was your first sign that you looked at me then more then a partner, more then a friend?" she asked.
"hmm.. he took a sip of his beer Well there wasn't just one sign, there were many signs actually, like the first time I noticed how beautiful you were, he took her hand and kissed it there was the time when I realized that you my best friend, the time when I realized that you drove me crazy and I liked it. I remember this one case we were working on, we had been up for at least two days, the Sophie case..."
"The special day pervert, I'll never forget that case" She said in sad voice. It was a hard case for both of them. The perp kidnapped young girls and then planned out three days, a picture day, party day, and then special day--the day he killed them. Sophie had escaped on her third day, and instead of laying low the perp took another girl, leaving them on edge.
"Well it was 3 am, and you were taking your 30 minutes in the crib. Your files came and I went in there to wake you."
"I remember." She said.
"You fell asleep reading a file, and when I woke you, your hair, it was matted and sticking up straight, it was hilarious." he let out a laugh.
"You laughed?" She said
"But--I remember thinking, God she looks so beautiful, matted hair, swollen eyes, way over tired, and she looks so damn gorgeous." He said
She thought about that day, he was married to Kathy then…
"Oh--and when I found out that you slept with Cassidy--"
Ouch she thought, she didn't want to bring that mistake up again.
"I was jealous, and at the time I didn't understand exactly why, except for the for every time I thought about it made me sick to my stomach, I told myself that it was like when Maureen had a boyfriend…you know more like an overprotective father figure, I made myself believe that for a long time, couldn't admit to myself that it was because it wasn't my hands touching you…" he said as he starting stroking her thigh under the table. "You wanna get out of here?"
"Thought you'd never ask." The finished their beers and walked out of the bar.
"You wanna walk?" He asked her
"I would like that," She replied.
They began walking down the street, hand in hand. She placed her head on his shoulder. "This feels right, you and me." He said as he placed his head on hers.

Elliot was abruptly wakened from his deep slumber by the horrific screams coming from his partner. She was having another nightmare. Her body starting fighting the sheets and she nailed Elliot right in the face with her cast. She woke up from the contact. She was crying, her heart beating so fast she didn't think she would be able to catch her breath. She sat up, she remembered where she was, and she turned to see if Elliot was there--
"Oh my God! You're bleeding!" she was confused. She looked at her cast; she had fresh blood on it. "I hit you? Elliot, I'm so sorry," she said as she reached for the box of tissues next to her and held them up to his face to stop the bleeding. Then she took one to wipe her eyes.
"It's ok, I'm fine…pretty intense nightmare?" He rubbed her back.
"It was just so real," she started to cry, and fell back down on the bed. He turned her so that they were face to face on the bed. He put his arms around her. "I'm sorry Elliot, about all of this, I thought I was stronger then this." she sniffed.
"Olivia, don't you ever apologize for the way you feel. You had a terrifying experience, no one expects you to back to your normal self. These things take time Liv, you just have to take them day by day. Some days will be harder," His words were so consoling.
"It's just, it's just -- I don't want you to see me like this." she confessed and looked away.
"Olivia look at me…look at me Olivia." She looked up into his baby blues. She had the saddest look on her face. He kissed the tears that were coming down, "Do you think that I don't want to be here--cause that is so far from the truth. I want to help you through every nightmare, heal all your wounds, and protect you. We're in a relationship I hate to tell you, and that means that when you are at your weakest, I will be at my strongest and help put you back together. And down the road you will do the same for me, so don't be sorry, don't ever be sorry, ok?" he said as he kissed her head.
"How'd I get so lucky to have you El?"
"Remember last night you were asking me when I knew that I loved you? she shook her head yes Remember the first case we worked on? You had just talked to one of the victims and you got sick, I knew right then and there our partnership was going to be something special, so I guess you can say that I fell in love with you the first time I met you."
"God you and Cragen were such jerks that day." Liv said, her eyes began to lose the sad look in them.
Her cell phone began to ring, "Benson, oh hi Case--um…no I can't right now, I've got company… she laughed at what ever comment Casey had made yes you will have to meet him soon ...Ok well I'll see tomorrow. Bye" She shut her phone. "She wanted to know if I wanted to go for a run, but I think I'll get my workout in a different way…" she said as she started kissing Elliot's neck.
Casey hung up the phone and decided to go for a run by herself. She headed out her apartment building, to get to the park she had to walk pass Olivia's building, and as she walked by she really wanted to go in and get a look at Olivia's McDreamy…but something stopped her, the car that was parked across the street. 'That looks a hell of a lot like Elliot's car' she thought, 'nooooo, it couldn't be, she came to a complete halt when she saw the license plate--It was Elliot's car…There had to be another explanation as to why Elliot's car was there on a Sunday morning.
I bet they got too drunk last night after I left and he couldn't drive home so he just left It there and took a cab home. Yes, yes that is what happened she assured herself. As she walked home she had small flashbacks of Olivia and Elliot together, a small nudge here, a look there…I mean they were best friends and both single and attractive. It's not like anyone hasn't thought that they were something more before. But then there was Brad, so Olivia wasn't single anymore…
