"Liv, go home."

"Huh?" Olivia muttered the response, half asleep at her desk finishing a report. It was the middle of the night on Friday, or was it Saturday morning? Yes, it was definitely Saturday morning, but Olivia had no idea what time.

"I said go home," Elliot said. "Alex is coming tomorrow and you'll want to be awake when she arrives."

Olivia sleepily nodded. They had been on a stake-out that turned into them chasing down a perp and then a lengthy interrogation.

"You going soon?" she asked.

"Not until morning," Elliot said. "I'm not going to risk waking up all the kids. Kathy would kill me. I'll catch shuteye in the crib until daylight."

Olivia nodded and got up from her desk to leave.

"Hey, Liv?" Elliot said, stopping her. "Have a good weekend with Cabot. You two deserve it."

Olivia gave him a half-smile, appreciating he was trying to be supportive of the relationship. It was week three of the six weeks. Alex had planned to come home sooner, but a family obligation kept her away from the city after week two. Alex had an event
Friday night and planned to leave early Saturday morning. Olivia was just hoping she'd get in a few hours of sleep before Alex arrived.

Olivia didn't exactly remember the trip home, but was glad to see the inside of her apartment. She was even more glad they'd caught their guy and her weekend with Alex wouldn't instead be spent on another stake-out.

She made her way to the bedroom, slipping her shoes off then sliding her hand against the wall for the light switch. Before she hit it, something moving caught the corner of her eye and she reached for her gun.

As her tired eyes focused, she realized it wasn't a burglar – just a naked Alex Cabot asleep in her bed.

Olivia had given Alex a key before she left for Albany for a situation just like this – Olivia was stuck at work and Alex wanted to wait on her. She had missed Alex like crazy and hadn't realized just how she relied on Alex, how much a part of her life
Alex was. Work without Alex was one thing, but not seeing her, spending time with her or even talking to her as often as she was used to harder than Olivia thought it would be. Boy, how she had missed the ADA.

A sleepy smile grew on Olivia's face as she looked on at Alex's legs and bare back, the sheets only covering her butt. She quietly undressed to her birthday suit – after all, Alex was – and slipped into bed beside the blonde, trying not to wake her.

"Mmm, you're home," Alex muttered a few moments later, sliding an arm around the detective and curling up closer to her.

"So are you," Olivia said. She leaned forward gave Alex a gentle kiss on the lips. "I missed you."

"Show me how much in the morning?" Alex said, her voice as sleepy as Olivia's.

"Absolutely."

The next morning, Olivia woke up alone in bed, much to her dismay. She looked around the room for any sign of Alex, hoping she hadn't dreamed the blonde in her bed last night. She rolled over to sit on the side of the bed when she heard the door to the
bedroom creak and saw a head pop in.

Alex had a large smile on her face. "You're awake," she said.

"I'm not sure about that yet," Olivia said. "What time is it?"

"About 9:30 a.m.," Alex said. "You hungry?"

"I'm starving," Olivia said. "We didn't even have a chance to get dinner."

"I figured," Alex said. "And I have bacon."

Olivia smiled and shook her head. "I come home to a beautiful woman in my bed who tells me there is bacon waiting on me when I wake up … are you sure I'm not still sleeping?"

"I can even sweeten the deal," Alex said. "Crawl back in to bed and I'll bring it to you … with coffee."

"You really are amazing," Olivia said.

"I know," Alex said, smirking. "You've told me several times. And hopefully, again later."

Olivia smiled and crawled back into bed, sitting up and waiting as Alex brought a tray with bacon, pancakes and coffee. She really outdid herself. Olivia scooted over so Alex had room to sit next to her and eat as well.

"You're home early," Olivia said.

"I missed you," Alex said. "And I really didn't want to wake up another morning without seeing you."

They made quick work of breakfast and caught each other up on the past few days since they had spoken. Alex talked about her training; Olivia filled her in on their active cases and about what ADA-of-the-week they had.

When they were done, Olivia took their trays and pushed them away from the bed on the floor. "I can put those away," Alex said.

"It can wait," Olivia said. "I promised you I'd show you how much I missed you." She raised her eye brows and wrapped her hands around Alex's waist before pressing their lips together.

Their kiss slowly turned desperate and their breathing picked up. Olivia moved on top of the blonde, feeling Alex's body below her, skin prickling as she began to kiss her neck. Alex groaned, letting her hand grasp at the back of Olivia's hair and tilting
her head back to give her more access.

Olivia slid her hands down Alex's arms, then stopping to help the blonde take her shirt off, then teasing her nipples with her fingers.

"Oh, God, Liv. I've missed your touch," Alex rasped, arching her back and letting out a gasp as Olivia took one of her breasts in her mouth.

"Mm hmm," Olivia hummed, then slid her hand down to push Alex's shorts and panties off, pulling roughly at them before getting them off. Alex widened her legs. Her breathing grew raggedly as Olivia began to slowly stroke her hand between Alex's legs.

"Liv…" Alex gasped. The blonde felt her body begin to shiver with every touch from Olivia, every kiss, every lick. She bit back a moan as Olivia buried her fingers inside Alex.

Alex dug her fingers into Olivia's back, feeling every movement Olivia was making inside her, clenching around the brunette and feeling her body respond to every jolt, every thrust.

Olivia slipped her body down farther on the blonde who she felt trembling below her. Still inside Alex, she allowed her tongue to trail down to the blonde's core, flicking her clitand looking up to see Alex's eyes rolling back in her head. She delved
in with her tongue, alternating between teasing and pressure, then settling into a steady pace and building up speed as she heard Alex begin to whimper.

"O-livia, please," Alex blurted. "Just – like – like – oh, God, fuck."

Olivia was smiling as she was lapping Alex up; she loved it when the blonde lost sense of her command of the English language. She also loved hearing her cuss like a sailor.

Finally, Olivia knew when it was time – when mean she was going to go hard and fast until Alex was done. The longs legs started shaking and her thighs began to collapse around Olivia's head as she started losing control. Then, Alex's body began jerking
under her, hips shooting up, skin clammy until rippling waves went exploding through her body.

"Fuck…" Alex grunted, wrapping both arms and legs around Olivia and hanging on until her body stopped pulsing and she went still. "God, Liv, I love … uh, being with you."

Olivia inhaled quickly at the "L" word, then exhaled when Alex corrected her sentence. She wasn't sure if Alex just meant what she said, "loved being with" Olivia, or if she meant something more. Either way, part of Olivia was relieved.

Did she love Alex? As a friend, absolutely. As more? She might, but she definitely wasn't ready to say it or admit it yet.

Olivia crawled back up to Alex and nuzzled into her. She didn't reply or acknowledge what Alex said, she just wrapped her arms around her and – without words – showed Alex how much she felt for her.
