A/N Thank you for the kind reviews and messages, I combined the next two updates into one chapter! Hope you enjoy!
We find Elliot with Cassandra, and Olivia waiting for an explanation.
" 'Liv doesn't' what, El?" Olivia said sternly into his ear.
And Elliot's head snapped looking forward.
"Shit."
Elliot tried to hush his curse as he began to drop his dress shirt. Smoothing out the wrinkles quickly as he tried to create distance between Cassandra and his torso. Which was a failed attempt. Olivia wasn't giving him any room to budge while he turned into her.
She was a statue, trying to take in as much as she could to figure out why his partly open pants where now knocking into her midsection as he tried to sort himself. The loosened belt buckle was poking into her core. He looked in her eyes to read her before he spoke. Half smirking hoping her obvious curiosity wouldn't escalate.
But she already looked like she was ready to kill. Him. Cassandra. He couldn't tell yet.
"I was trying to let her know that we where only here to watch tonight, honey." He tried to add humor. She wasn't buying it.
"Ah" she nodded at the revelation. "So you had to take off your pants to see better…? I could have brought your glasses if you had asked, El." Olivia saying his nickname a little harsh. Elliot realized Cassandra still had her hand on his hip, but without looking down, Olivia tapped it away. Shit.
"It was my fault Olivia." Cassandra peeked around the discheveled detective, wrapping her hands around his biceps as she moved her human shield. "It was my turn, and initially he said no, but I told him he could keep time and enjoy. I can show another talent instead. Why don't you two join us...?" Cassandra was now standing and making room on the neighboring oversized love seat for Olivia and Trevor to sit.
Olivia was still processing the invite as Trevor pulled her to sit next to him on the neighboring seating. The lawyer could sense the tension and gently squeezed Olivia's shoulder to coax her to calm down.
"It's a game, Liv. Look." Trevor whispered into her ear, his body wrapping around hers from behind, now massaging the cap of her shoulder and motioning his head towards the table. There where two decks of cards. A dark pile saying "TRUTH", and a light pile saying "DARE", the top card carelessly sideways revealing a command.
Elliot felt relieved that the look of rage washed from his partner's face as they sat down... but now he was the one trying to process why she was in the grasp of someone so intimately. Plus, he thought looked familiar in the darkness.
Cassandra still continued to explain as everyone took a seat, the vixen slightly oblivious to the exchange of looks in front of her.
"Elliot and I had began a round of Truth or Dare…" Cassandra began to pick up her formerly discarded card, reading "Dare: You have 15 seconds to show your best talent using your mouth" she faced the card to Olivia and Trevor to validate her actions. But Olivia's eyebrow was still arched as she looked over to Elliot, still not satisfied with why he still didn't have his pants buckled.
Olivia gently took the card like she was expecting to say more. "Hmm-mm. Okay… so tell me about this talent of yours." She didn't look up at Cassandra but didn't have to.
"I was showing Elliot how I can spell my name in cursive with my tongue. I just needed a hard surface to prove it." The seductress told them in an innocent tone. Her voice slowly irritating Olivia.
"So you decided to use my husband's…"
"Abs" Elliot quickly to finish her sentence. He was blushing but his eyes never left her face. Olivia could see he was embarrassed and her tension melted slightly. Cassandra talked him into it, but he didn't think he'd be caught in a position like that. She briefly wondered when the last time someone was between his legs like that.
"Well, he's built like a Greek god, how could I resist, really? But it was my fault. I pushed him. He said you wouldn't want him to go beyond watching on your first night. So I told him I'd do all the work…" She smiled as her hand found his knee again. " I just had to tempt him a little, you know." Throwing a playful wink at Olivia.
"Ah, well, he is very irresistible" Olivia gave an equally playful smile towards an agreeing Cassandra. "I guess a little more than watching would be okay tonight." Olivia said directly looking at Elliot. Making sure to mirror Cassandra's actions, rubbing Trevor's leg in a similar way. Two can play this game. And now the four of them will be in for some fun tonight.
Elliot was shocked that she was dropping this. Her head nodding in agreement that he wouldn't truly cross any boundaries. "But to keep it light, how about only one round tonight. We have plenty of work to do at the house in the morning." She was using their code word to leave soon, but now she wanted to play.
Olivia looked at Trevor, realizing she just volunteered him to join in. But he didn't seem to mind. He kept lock on her deep brown eyes, relaxing into the seat, closing the space between them, not noticing the bartender dropping off their drinks.
Olivia never really looked into his eyes like this, but maybe he never looked at her like this before. She could tell this evening was going to be interesting.
"So have you guys ever played any games together like this before?" Trevor asked Olivia as he all but gives her the best eye sex with that gaze. Elliot shouldn't feel this pang of jealousy in his chest. Especially if his hand keeps making purposeful circles a long Cassandra's shoulder while he watched his partner snuggled up against Langan. But more and more he's wanting to mark Olivia as his. His territory.
So he decides to speak for her.
"I've only shared my wife once."
Now it was Olivia's turn to break eye contact as she snapped her head towards her partner, giving him a pursed lip. Trevor would have thought it was part of their cover, but she knew what Elliot had intended. To let her know he wasn't sharing her tonight.
"Well that's why we are spreading our wings together, baby. Right?" Olivia said as she threw a charming smile at Elliot, making sure to glance down at his hand now gripping around Cassandra's shoulder.
"Plus I ran into someone who I think you'll really like." Olivia smiled sarcastically as she made introductions. "Elliot, this is Trevor. He said we should try the finger foods later." Barely holding back a laugh as he reached out to shake hands with his "wife's new friend". They hadn't had any personal animosity between them, but a cop and a defense attorney hardly had a reason to like one another.
"Nice to meet you. But I think I'll pass on the menu. I'm a picky eater." He raised an eyebrow that Trevor had wrapped his arm behind Olivia's waist, and he could see his thumb rubbing along the outside of her hip. God, he wanted to separate them. But they where working. Maybe Langan didn't catch on yet. That's impossible. Plus they couldn't just leave now.
"Trevor, this is my beautiful new friend Cassandra. Who I believe was going to finish her Dare..?" Everyone exchanged pleasantries but quickly returned to the game.
"Ah, yes. Well, with Olivia's permission, I'm sure I can find something less interactive for your husband, hmm?" Cassandra said with a smirk. "Uh, Trevor, may I?" She said, motioning towards the cherry on top of his fresh drink the bartender had brought to them moments ago.
He simply raised the glass across the group over the table towards her. Trevor was on the outside, Olivia and Elliot in the center, and Cassandra reaching towards her borrowed fruit from the far end of the love seat. Each couple had their own love seat, but where close enough to still be isolated from the other club patrons for privacy.
"I haven't tried this in years, but I'm sure I can nail a knot with this stem in 15 seconds. Too bad I don't like cherries. Elliot, would you do me the honors..?" Cassandra said as she dangled the fruit just inches from his smiling mouth.
But Olivia interjected, clipping the flirtation, "He's not a fan either, picky eater. But I love them."
So Cassandra motioned over Elliot's lap to hold the stem as Olivia's teeth plucked the fruit from her fingers. Elliot felt his throat go dry. Did she mean to block him like that..? It was so quick, he wasn't even upset. His eyes where glued to Olivia's mouth as she licked the cherry juice from her lip before she nestled back into Langan's arms. But now he had to turn his attention to his watch, clicking the timer again. If he was to only watch, he'd watch the time this round.
Cassandra impressively got the knot created with her tongue in only 8 seconds, smiling as she slowly pulled the stem from her mouth to show it to the group.
"Ah, see. I told you I was talented El." Cassandra winked at him as she laid her accomplishment on a napkin on the table between them.
"Shall we keep the circle going? Trevor..?" Cassandra moved the decks towards him.
"Ah-mm. Okay. Dare, why not?" He began to read, "Dare: You have 15 seconds to show your best talent using your tongue…" his brows crossed. "Oh, I didn't mix the deck. That's okay, I'll shuffle these. Liv, can you draw a Truth for me, beautiful?"
Beautiful, huh? She though, but only responded by complying and grabbing the top card.
"Truth: You'll see many things tonight, but tell the hottest thing you've seen at the Swing Set.." she said slowly, keeping her eyes on Trevor. His face blushed a bit thinking through his favorite memories, one particular sticking out. His hands still shuffling the deck to place on the table.
"Well. It would have to be something regrettably I didn't even get to enjoy." His eyes sparkled as he stared at Olivia's curious expression. She swore when he looked at her, really looked at her, there wasn't anyone else in the room.
"So you like to watch too..? No wonder the guys would get along." Cassandra joked.
Trevor chuckled, "I, uh, I don't think what I witnessed was meant to have been watched though.." His smirk was almost apologetic as he continued to look only at Olivia. "My first night here, we had so many different folks come in, but one incredible woman stood out. Her curves where something out of a old Hollywood film, but her laugh… that's when I was hypnotized the entire night. But I never got a moment of her time. But that wasn't the hottest thing."
"So a woman steps out of "Too Hot To Handle" and you don't even speak. Where were your manners..?" Olivia teased, thinking in the back of her mind whom he was referring to.
"If you got to see how brutally she turned down nearly everyone at the bar, you'd keep your distance too." He laughed as he continued.
"But this one young guy must have had the magic words because one moment she's ready to leave with her friends who went to the dance floor. Then the next, he drops his napkin next to her, and he leans an arm in her lap to pick it up. But the man never came up. All I could see was her top half from the VIP Area of the lounge from my angle, but as I tried to tear my eyes from her, she closes her eyes. Like all the stress of her day is melting before my eyes. It took me a while to realize she was responding to whatever it was this gentleman was doing to earn her presence. But I was focused on her face. She was going to nirvana and only I was watching it. The barstool she was on must have moved because she leaned towards me. I had the perfect view of her body but my eyes studied her face. Those beautiful plump lips holding back a sound. We hadn't any official rules yet at the club, but as a guideline, those types of faces where reserved for the playroom" he winked at Olivia, who was oblivious to how his story had the group's attention as he continued.
"She had reached her orgasm before anyone else took notice anyways. And the gentleman made an appearance moments after I finally picked my jaw off the floor. I'm sure they exchanged words, but before I could figure out what they said, her friends had returned and she was out the door!" Trevor shaking his head in disbelief that he missed his opportunity.
"But even though she wasn't aware, that was the hottest thing I've ever seen."
Elliot cleared his throat, hoping it would break whatever spell was over his partner. He couldn't quite read his partner, but the story sat differently for her. And Elliot could see it on her face. He just couldn't get a read as to why.
"Well. That has me hot and bothered, and it wasn't even my orgasm!" Cassandra said, fanning herself with her hand that wasn't on Elliot's leg. "Sounds like a great Missed Connections moment. Did you ever get to play with her at the club on another night at least?"
"Uh, well, not yet. Fate is funny like that I guess." a blush swept across the lawyer's face as he looked down, hoping not to give away his Missed Connection was actually sitting next to him. And she was still trying to figure out how to change the subject before Cassandra asked any more questions.
Luckily Elliot saw Olivia's nervousness, and figured she was debating on what card to pull next in the game. So he went ahead and switched the subject for her.
"Ah, well, if the truths are that juicy, Liv, why don't I pick a card for you, hmm?" Elliot's hand already reaching for the deck to pull a truth. A silent prayer under his breathe hoping it wouldn't be something too personal. And then he felt Olivia's hand stop him.
"Oh, no, it's okay honey. I got it. Besides, I want a Dare." She said. "Can't let Cassandra have all the fun showing off her talents." Raising both eyebrows with a playful smile at her fellow female playmate.
Elliot felt a rush of guilt at the mention of Cassandra's talents.
"Okay. Dare: Let's see some moves! You'll have two minutes to show your sexiest lap dance to your player of choice." She said with a sigh.
Oh, maybe letting Elliot choose a Truth card would have been better...
A/N I was on a classic film kick when I realized why a certain blonde looked so familiar in Too Hot To Handle if anyone caught the reference. Wanna see how far the game goes for our undercover duo..? Leave your thoughts for more soon.
