A/N: Glad you all are enjoying - the reviews are amazing. I think my other fics are going to be on temp hiatus until I get to a satisfactory point in this one. And yes, of course "friends" was never going to work.

"Trust": Someone asked about that fic, and I don't want to give away too much because I'm still unsure exactly what I'm going to do ... but I've written THIS fic in such a way that it could be a very early prequel to "Trust." But I haven't decided yet, no promises. I do have some ideas for this though.

As for the strap-on: While I'm fine with it, I don't think I've ever written a fic with one (maybe I have, I can't remember), mostly because it's not something I have experience with and well, I'm sure I'd butcher it. So, I think for now, I wouldn't expect to see that coming up. Sorry :/

DESSERT

The next day at work (don't worry, there will be flashbacks to the previous night)

"Liv?"

Olivia didn't hear a word Elliot said to her for the past five minutes or so. All she could think about was the amazing night she spent with Alex and how much she needed sleep.

"Earth to Liv," Elliot said again. Olivia finally blinked herself out of day dreaming and looked across their desks at him.

"What?"

"I asked if you'd heard from Cabot. I heard Donnelly really laid into her yesterday before she suspended her," he said.

"Oh … no," she lied.

"I feel bad she was suspended. I mean, she is lucky it was just that, but what she did put a child molester behind bars. They should be commending her" he said. "Maybe we should call her, let her know there's no hard feelings."

Olivia shook her head. "She knows."

"I thought you hadn't talked to her," Elliot questioned.

"I just meant today," Olivia said. "I called and checked on her last night. She's fine."

Very fine.

"Ok, well, I'll leave it to you," he said. "But when you talk to her, make sure she knows."

Olivia nodded. She got up, nodded toward the crib indicating she was going to take a nap.

"You stay up late last night? You've been tired all day," he asked.

"I guess. Time just got away from me," Olivia said.

Time. Yes, time spent in bed with Alex Cabot.

When she got to the crib, Olivia took off her blouse, leaving on a T-shirt underneath, laid down and let her mind wander again back to their night and their conversation before Olivia came to work this morning.

Earlier that morning/night before

Round 2 had been even better than Round 1, but Round 3 … well, Olivia couldn't wait for that experience again.

"Turn around," Alex said. "I mean, on the bed, flip around."

"What?"

"Here, follow my lead," Alex said.

The blonde got up, glancing into the mirror on the dresser across from the foot of the bed. Olivia was pretty sure she saw her smirk. Alex crawled back onto the bed, her head at the foot and laid on her back.

"Come here," Alex said.

"Come, where?"

"On top of me," Alex said. Olivia did as she said and laid on top of her.

"Ok, now sit on your knees and scoot up," Alex said. She still had a wicked grin on her face.

"Scoot up?"

"Yes … scoot up," Alex said. "On my face."

Olivia's mouth dropped up. She understood now what Alex wanted.

"You want …"

"Yes, Olivia," Alex said. "I want you. And I want you to see how much I enjoy it."

Olivia looked up again, finally noticing the mirror. Now she fully understood. She nodded and did exactly as Alex asked, making sure to steady herself so her weight didn't smother Alex.

Alex's warm tongue on her core caused her the muscles in her legs to clench. So far, she was still looking down, making sure not to put too much weight on Alex. Then Alex moved her hands from Olivia's hips, up to her breasts.

The extra contact, the teasing of her nipples, caused her to tilt her head back and when she opened her eyes, she saw fully the picture Alex wanted her to see. Alex's mouth between her legs, hands on her breast.

"Holy shit," Olivia breathed.

"Told you," Alex muttered before opening her own eyes and tilting her head back to steal a glance of the scene in front of them. Then she returned to her goal of making Olivia see how fucking amazing she looked during orgasm.

The first one they shared was ok, but during Round 2, Alex watched Olivia closely – the most beautiful woman in the world.

"Alex … I'm …"

Alex knew Olivia would need steadying so she moved her hands back down. One on Olivia's hip, one digging into the detective's ass.

"Keep your eyes open," Alex said.

Olivia made an incomprehensible noise that Alex took to mean "ok."

The next minute saw Alex push Olivia from the edge to losing complete control. Alex couldn't get a glance in the mirror, but she had looked up to watch Olivia coming completely undone above her. When Olivia's orgasm finally stopped, she collapsed backwards on the bed, laying opposite of Alex.

"Fuck, Alex," Olivia said. "For first time sex … well, let's just say, you're a lot less uptight than I ever thought."

"This may be out first night together," Alex said. "But, I don't think it's the first time either of have thought about it."

"Please tell me you didn't do that with that woman from the cab," Olivia laughed.

"Hell, no," Alex said. "First time, and only because I trust you completely, Liv."

Alex crawled back up next to Olivia and the two fell asleep against each other. It felt natural and comfortable, almost like they had slept naked together forever, even if they hadn't.

"To be clear, we're not dating, we're just … sleeping together?"

It was morning and Olivia and Alex were still in bed after their long night together. Olivia wanted to make sure she understood what Alex was saying. She had half expected Alex to wake up, tell her last night was a mistake and that they couldn't let it happen again. Even if that was the case, Olivia certainly wouldn't complain about the one night they did share.

But that wasn't what Alex said, or wanted.

"I guess you could put it like that," Alex said. "I'd prefer not to label it. I mean, we can't date, right? We both decided that wasn't on the table."

"That's correct," Olivia said.

"So, we either going back to what we were doing, which honestly, was just terrible for me," Alex said. "Or … we keep doing what we did last night, which was most definitely not terrible for me."

Olivia grinned. Their night together had been amazing.

"I mean, nothing about this is ideal, I guess," Alex admitted. "But, I mean, maybe we can re-assess down the road and if something changes or we want to move forward, we can decide then."

"And no one can know," Olivia said.

"No one can know," Alex said. "Not even Elliot."

Olivia laughed. "Especially not Elliot," she said. "What about … dating other people? I mean, not like either of us really date, but if either of us meets someone…?"

"Then you or I can make that decision if it comes up," Alex said. "We're not dating, so I can't expect you'll only be with me. Just … you know, don't sleep with half of Manhattan and use protection."

"Me? You're the one that had the booty call with the woman you knew you couldn't stand," Oliva said, chuckling.

"Fair enough," Alex said. "Same goes for me, but I can tell you, if you keep me as satisfied as you did last night, I probably won't have much need to sleep around.

"Same," Olivia said. "And we probably shouldn't do this all the time, as tempting as it may be."

Alex nodded. "So, we're in agreement?" Alex said.

"Yes," Olivia said. "We're just sleeping together – sometimes. We can date who we want and sleep with who we want as long as we're responsible. No one can get jealous and we won't let this affect our work."

Alex nodded. "And no one can know."

"Especially Elliot," Olivia added.

Back to work – Liv napping in crib

"Liv, we need to go serve that warrant," Elliot said, interrupting Olivia's good thoughts.

She stretched out and sat up on the bed, reaching for her blouse she had laid across a chair.

"Harvard?" Elliot said. Olivia cocked her head and gave him a funny look.

He nodded toward her shirt. "Your t-shirt says Harvard. Boyfriend?"

"Yeah, like I'd ever date someone who went to Harvard," she said, continuing to button up her blouse.

"So, then?" he asked

"So, what?" Olivia replied

"Where did the shirt come from?" he said.

"I don't know, El," Olivia said. "I just grabbed it this morning."

"Cabot went to Harvard didn't she," Elliot asked, inquisitively.

"Yeah, I think so," Olivia said. "You know, that's probably it. She spilled something on herself one day when she was over and I put whatever she was wearing in the wash. I'm sure I just forgot to give it back to her."

Elliot nodded. It made sense, he just didn't know why she was being so cagey about it.

"Okay, well, are you ready?" he asked.

"Let's go," Olivia said.

When they got back and started getting ready to go home for the day, Olivia noticed she had a voicemail from Alex. The ADA wanted her to stop by after work – if she wanted – and promised dinner and dessert.

Olivia couldn't help but smirk while she was listening, which prompted more questions from Elliot that she successfully avoided before making her way to Alex's apartment. When she knocked, Alex yelled that it was open. Olivia went in and saw Alex in the kitchen, putting out what looked like a small skillet fire.

"Cook much?" Olivia teased.

"Shut up," Alex said, rolling her eyes and shaking her head, but with a smile.

Dinner was ready shortly after that and the two of them ate and talked as if nothing had changed between them. Olivia talked about updates to another case they were working and the ADA temporarily assigned to help SVU while Alex was on suspension.

"Ugh," Alex said. "He's such a douche. Just make sure if he's not doing something he should be you tell Liz."

"I'm sure it'll be fine," Olivia said. "At least the case we have right now is pretty open and shut. After we served the warrant, found the videos, and arrested him, the guy made a full confession on video and in writing after waiving his rights."

"If only they all could be so easy," Alex said.

Olivia nodded. She got up and took their empty plates to the kitchen to wash them off. She figured since Alex cooked dinner, the least she could do was the clean-up.

"Alex, where do you keep your dishwasher tablets? You're full in here," Olivia called out.

When she turned around, Alex was standing behind her and pulled her in for a kiss, pushing Olivia back up against the counter when Olivia began kissing back.

"I thought we weren't allowed to do this all the time?" Olivia said.

"So, we take a day off tomorrow," Alex said as her lips moved down to Olivia's neck. "Besides, I promised you dessert."
