Author's Note: For those that tapped me on the shoulder about Liv's end of the fantasy-sharing bargain, I did not forgot and won't let Liv off the hook. Read on. As always, feedback of any variety is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a much spirited game of Frisbee with Wanda and the girls, during which Liv had learned how ticklish her ADA was, they found themselves back at the carriage house sharing some pretzels and ginger ale and discussing what they'd do next.
"Well, if you don't mind, I'd love to try out the hot tub." Liv had a hopeful, almost childlike expression.
"Sounds good. We could get a nice soak in before we have to be at dinner." Alex couldn't think of a reason not to get in a hot tub with Olivia Benson. She swigged down the rest of her soda. "I'll get changed."
Liv was cleaning up from their snack when Alex came back a few minutes later. Liv's breath caught in her chest. "Uh, gaaa...I...geez..." She closed her eyes and swallowed hard. "That's, uh.... you look..." She was still not able to speak. Her eyes dilated and her breathing became erratic all at the mere sight of Alexandra Cabot before her in nothing more than an indigo bikini. She stared at the long, lean legs...soft creamy thighs...small strip of indigo…tight tummy, the most adorable belly button ever. Olivia groaned and shifted in her seat and her eyes alighted on the indigo covering pert round breasts and barely visible erect nipples...possibly the result of Olivia's current scrutiny. Olivia's head snapped up as Alex coughed. Dark chocolate brown eyes tinged with desire, no lust, met deep pools of icy blue. "Amazingly beautiful." Olivia's voice was barely a whisper. She didn't dare speak more loudly or move.
Alex didn't flush under her scrutiny this time, but her body sure did react. She felt her nipples and belly tighten. She licked her lips. "Thank you...that was the reaction I was hoping for." She smiled and sighed deeply.
Olivia ran her fingers nervously through her hair. "Reaction. I'll say. I'm feeling really over dressed here. Excuse me." She stood and walked down the hall.
"I'll be by the hot tub when you're ready." Alex walked over to the deck that housed the hot tub and got things ready.
Liv mumbled to herself. "Ready...oh I'm ready alright." Liv fumbled in her bag. The only bathing suit she owned was her black racer back. When it was either too hot or too cold to run or climb outside, she'd swim. She changed quickly and went out on to the deck.
The hot tub was on and bubbling like crazy as steam rose from the hot water. Alex was sitting on a chair adjusting some knobs when she heard Liv.
"Hey sweetheart." She walked over and placed her hand on Alex's bare back.
Alex closed her eyes and inhaled deeply at the sensation. "Hello there." She turned and took in the sight before her.
She knew Olivia was in good shape, but the body she envisioned in her dreams was only half as lovely as the toned olive skinned goddess that appeared before her now. This time she did feel the heat rise in her face as she ran her gaze along the tone and shapely long legs. Even in Liv's more practical suit, her strong, well-muscled body was visible enough for Alex. Alex's gaze landed on the full round breasts that had been the subject of so much daydreaming. Alex was only partially aware that her mouth was open and she was almost panting.
"I'm going to go out on a limb and say you like what you see. My suit's pretty plain, comparatively. Sorry about that." Liv pulled the blonde in to her arms. "You ok?"
Alex nodded. "Yeah. Just suddenly not sure a hot tub is what I need. Probably more like an ice cold shower."
"No way. Where's your sense of adventure, Miss Cabot?" And with that the brunette displayed her strength by scooping the blonde up in to her arms.
Alex squealed as she was hoisted in to Liv's arms. "Liv!" She wrapped her arms around her neck and captured her lips in a passionate kiss.
As Alex explored her mouth deeply with tongue, lips and teeth, Liv slowly stepped in to the hot tub and lowered them in to the delightfully hot and moving water. She groaned in to Alex's mouth.
She sat down in the hot water and kept Alex on her lap. Liv was getting a little too worked up by the fact that no matter where she touched Alex, she was touching bare skin. One hand settled flat against her stomach and the other against her thigh. Both of Alex's hands were tangled in the detective's baby soft brown hair.
"Oh my God, Liv..." Alex pulled back from the kisses and slid off of her lap. "Ok, so making out with you is definitely as hot as I imagined." She slid herself under the water so just her head was above.
Liv scratched her head. "Yeah, that is pretty intense, isn't it?" She joined Alex in submerging herself. Her feet found the blonde's under water and they played footsie.
"So, Liv, you never shared one of your fantasies about me. So, give!" She reached out and grabbed one of Liv's feet and started to rub.
"Mmmmm, that feels amazing. I did say I'd share, didn't I? And there is almost nothing I wouldn't do for a foot rub." She lolled her head back and closed her eyes.
"It's during a case, in your office...I stop by to see you. You're wearing your gray suit with that baby blue shell underneath...and your glasses."
"Uh huh...I knew you had a thing for those glasses." She continued rubbing Olivia's feet. "Don't let me interrupt."
"We make small talk about my testimony and I accidentally knock a file off your desk. You bend over to pick it up and catch me starring at your assets. And just like that, you've got me and you turn on the prosecutorial charm. You take the glasses off and chew on the arm. You rock back confidently on your heels like you do right before you move in for the kill in court and I know I'm done. I'll be fired or become a crossing guard or worse. I try to explain. 'I...uh...sorry.' 'Save it detective.' You stride over to me and get in my face. 'You see something you like, Liv?' Your breath in my ear is driving me crazy and I can only whimper and nod."
"Wow...you're right. Hearing these are pretty intense." Alex had worked her way up to massaging Liv's calves. "Keep going."
"You move right up against me. 'And what would you like to do about it, detective?' Your body is so close I can feel the heat of you...flowing off of you. I can't control myself and I devour you in a searing kiss...and one thing leads to another and things happen right there on that leather sofa in your office. The end."
"We've been stupid. This is right and we shouldn't have denied ourselves." She scooted around in the water and snuggled in next to the detective.
"It's not stupid. The world doesn't always work this way. No one knows that better than us." Liv kissed Alex's jaw softly. "This is just some fairy tale. I never get this kind of happy ending. 'Hey, baby, how about dinner?' and twenty-four hours later I'm in a hot tub on an estate in the Berkshires." She shook her head.
Olivia's breath on her neck as she spoke tickled deliciously. She hummed and pushed herself against Olivia's body. Her hand traced lazy circles on Olivia's firm thigh under the hot water. "Really? Because that's how it happens all the time for me."
"You're incorrigible, Miss Cabot." She nipped at the flesh behind her ear.
"Damn skippy, Detective...especially when it comes to you." She trailed her hand higher and made the circles with her entire palm now.
"I guess if we want to make it to dinner on time, we ought to put a stop to this." Liv grabbed Alex's hand and stilled it against her leg. "Though God knows I don't want to."
They stood up and exited the hot tub. Alex handed Olivia a huge fluffy white towel. "This is enough towel for both of us." Liv laughed and wrapped her girlfriend up in it with her. She snaked her arms around them and rested her hands on the bare skin of Alex's back. She felt Alex take a labored breath.
Alex loved being held by Olivia. She rested her hands on the broad shoulders that carried the weight of the world at times. "That's enough everything for both of us. God, Liv, your body...you're so...fit."
"I workout." Liv laughed and gave Alex a small kiss before unwrapping them from the towel. "C'mon. We need to get ready."
Alex grabbed her hand and led her back in to the house.
-------------------------------------------
As they walked down the steps of the carriage house, Alex laced her fingers with Olivia's. Liv was now wearing cream-colored linen pants with a white tank top and white camp shirt and sandals. The pale fabrics complimented her olive tones and she almost glowed. "Did I mention that you look beautiful, detective?"
"No, counselor, I don't believe that you did, but thank you. And may I add that you look positively delicious yourself." Alex was wearing khaki Capri pants and a chambray shirt. The chambray matched the color of her eyes. She reached up and captured the blonde's lips in a short but sensual kiss.
The courtyard had been transformed. There was a huge bar and buffet table, mock Mayan ruins and a small stage was set up. "Wow. This is quite something."
There were a handful of couples milling around the bar and buffet, but Liv didn't recognize any of them. "Girls! Come meet everyone." Doug stood at the bar in mariachi attire head to toe, complete with tasseled hat.
"Great hat, Uncle Doug." Alex laughed, squeezed Liv's hand and let go of it.
"These are all partners at our firm...we'll be all night about introductions. Everyone this is our niece Alex and her guest Olivia. Alex, Olivia...this is everyone. Now mingle people." He made a shooing motion. "I highly recommend the mojitos. The band will begin at 7pm, so there's plenty of time to eat and drink."
"Your uncles sure know how to throw a party, Alex. I'm Mitch Carmon and this is my wife Darla." He extended his hand.
"Nice to meet you, Mitch, Darla. Yes, they certainly do it right." Alex shook their hands and introduced Olivia.
"Pleased to meet you both." Olivia shook hands as well.
After they had met everyone in the circle, Alex went to get a plate of food and Olivia went to get them drinks.
As they ate their nachos, empanadas, jalapeno poppers and enjoyed their mojitos, Wanda appeared wearing a pale yellow peasant blouse and floral skirt. "Hi ladies. Mind if I join you?"
Olivia shook her head because her mouth was filled with jalapeno. Alex smiled. "Please. I need someone to help me talk Liv out of obliterating her stomach lining just to prove she's a tough cop."
"New York's finest have got to be able to stomach the hot stuff, I guess." Wanda sat down but didn't look happy.
Olivia swallowed and took a sip of mojito. "Something like that. Where's Ben?"
"Hmph. Good question. He had to leave this afternoon. Work emergency." She folded the corner of a cocktail napkin. "Uncle Mort hired a nanny for the kids and insisted I come to the party. Something about a mope-free zone."
"Excellent. Liv, baby, would you mind getting us some more drinks? I'll hit the buffet for more stuffed jalapenos." Alex patted her leg.
"Sure thing. What's your pleasure, Wanda?" Olivia asked with a flirty smile.
"I'll have what she's having." She jerked her head towards Alex.
"Be right back." She made a point of kissing Alex's cheek on her way.
"Good God, Alex. The two of you are too freaking adorable together. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous." She smiled wistfully as they made their way to the buffet.
"Now, Wanda, I remember when you and Ben were the disgustingly love sick couple. It's still there. He's never looked at anyone the way I see him still look at you. And then there's the girls." Alex tried to be supportive.
"Yeah, lots of water under the bridge since then, though. But enough. Tonight we eat, we drink, we make merry. And we celebrate you and your hot little detective!" Wanda laughed as Alex blushed.
"She is pretty hot, isn't she?" Alex looked at her talking to a few others guests at the bar.
"Indeed. I'd jump the broom for tall, dark and badge-carrying if I had the opportunity." Wanda wiggled her eyebrows.
Alex tilted her head. "Think about it again and you'll find yourself doing a miserable stretch at Sealview, dear cousin." She was only partially joking.
