Sorry for the short-ness... I promise it will be longer next time!!!

Olivia gasped when she entered the upstairs of the house. Munch was curled up on the couch; Casey was in the kitchen, pounding back some very black coffee. The house was in complete disarray.

"It looks like a tornado came through here!" Olivia cried and Munch moaned.

"Lower the decibel of your voice…" he muttered before rolling over onto his other side.

Olivia laughed and threw a blanket she found on the floor at Munch and he groaned again.

"Where's Fin?" Elliot asked and Casey pointed to the washroom door as she downed some Tylenol with her coffee. She then came up for breathe and raised her eyebrows at Elliot and Olivia.

"You two looked cozy last night." She stated.

Olivia smirked at Elliot and he blushed. "Neither of us were willing to sleep on the floor." Elliot murmured.

"So you passed out together?" Munch asked.

"Yeah… I sat down for a second and then the next thing I know, it's morning." Elliot reinforced the story that the others were creating for him. He turned to Olivia and put on his best serious face.

"I'm headed home. You want me to drop you off?"

Olivia became even more serious in her acting and nodded. "Yeah. Just at my car if you don't mind." She then turned to Casey, "Tell Fin we'll see him tonight. And tell him thanks for a great evening."

Casey nodded, "Of course. Let's do lunch soon."

Olivia smiled, "Yeah. I'll see you later Casey. See you tonight Munch."

"Bye Olivia."

Elliot and Olivia turned back down the stairs and when Elliot reached the bottom he turned to stop Olivia from passing. She stared him in the eye and he smiled. "There's a toll." He stated. She frowned.

"You're not going to get cheesy on me, are you?"

"Just one kiss. I honestly cannot keep my hands off of you."

Olivia grinned. Elliot placed his hands on her hip again and pulled her closer to him. She placed her hands on his shoulders and leaned in slightly to unite her lips with his.

"I- I don't want to ever stop touching you." Elliot whispered and Olivia grinned.

"You're going to have to. I really need you to drop me off at my car." Elliot frowned but nodded.

"Fine. But I'll see you tonight… Take a cab. You can come home with me."

Olivia wore a beautiful strapless silver chiffon evening gown, topped off with sparkling diamond jewelry. The dress flowed from the top of her breasts down to the floor. Her hair was long and flowing with beach-wind waves. Her skin radiated with a shimmer of subtle silver glitter. Elliot grinned at the sight of her. He had seen her dressed up before, but only as she was headed for a date or undercover. Never for him.

Elliot smiled shyly at her. "You look amazing." He whispered. Olivia bit her glossy lip and smiled.

"Thanks. You don't look half bad yourself." Elliot gazed down at his simple tux with no tie. He grinned and hooked his finger gently with hers.

"You ready to smile until your cheeks hurt?" he asked. Neither of them were looking forward to the fake pleasantries they were about to give and receive with the "high-ups" of their profession.

Elliot led Olivia to the elevator. He could barely keep his hands off of her. As soon as they entered the ascending box Elliot pinned Olivia to the wall, his mouth on her neck. Olivia raised her arms above her head in pleasure.

"Oh God." Olivia breathed as his hand snaked its way up her dress. His other hand cupped her breast as his mouth reached her lips and he captured her fully.

"I couldn't stop thinking about you all day." He moaned as she ran her fingers through his hair. Olivia nodded in agreement and she gasped as Elliot's fingers worked magic under her dress. Their breath was hot and intense. Olivia could feel her body rising into a climax when the elevator pinged. The couple separated as quickly as they could but it was not fast enough. Standing behind the now open doors was a very angry looking Captain Cragen.

"You two. Come with me. Now."

Cragen had escorted Olivia and Elliot into an empty ballroom. Chairs were stacked all around them. The only lighting they had was the orange haze coming in from the sunset outside. The trio was silent for a few moments before Cragen opened his mouth. He was forced into silence when Elliot cut him off.

"Look Captain, I don't know what you think you saw-"

The rage that filled Cragen's eyes and voice caused Olivia to jump, "You mean I didn't see you latch onto Olivia like a vampire the second you though no one was watching?" The couple's gazes hit the floor instantly, "How irresponsible can you be? In a venue full of your superiors! If anybody else had seen you there would be hell to pay!"

"Captain- its not what you think." Olivia whispered.

Cragen cut her off, "This ends now. If I find out you two are still in a relationship I'll have to separate you as partners- I'm already tempted to-"

"Captain- We're not just screwing around… I'm in love with him." Elliot and Cragen stared at Olivia in surprise. Olivia bit her lip, disbelieving what she just blurted out into the universe.

"I- I have to go…" she whispered as she ran from the room, leaving Elliot and Cragen in stunned silence.

Olivia felt the heavy pit that sat in her stomach. She felt increasingly anxious as the elevator climbed up to the SVU squad room. She felt dizzy and tired. She was afraid to see Elliot. Her heart slammed against her rib cage as the elevator leveled out and the doors slid open. People entered around her and she wanted to stay with them. They were strangers. They didn't know that she had admitted that she was in love with her partner in front of their boss. They didn't know that she was about to face the music and tell her partner that it was all true. That she was in love with him. Always had been, always would be.

"Olivia-" Olivia's eyes snapped up to see Cragen standing in from of her. He frowned and beckoned for her to follow him. She felt like a robot. No control over her body. If she did have control, she would have run in the opposite direction. But the well-trained officer inside her followed her Commanding Officer into his headquarters.

Cragen greeted Olivia with a grave stare. Olivia watched as her father-figure struggled for words.

"What's going on Don?"

Cragen sighed, "Elliot asked me to give you this." He handed her a thin pale envelope. Olivia furrowed her brow in confusion and opened the letter instantly. Her stomach dropped at the sight of her name written in his messy cursive hand. She read the first six words that began the letter. Tears instantly began to fall and catch on the paper. She read the next five words before reading his name clumsily scrawled at the bottom of the page. Olivia raised her eyes to Cragen and he bowed his head.

"He's gone?" she asked and Cragen nodded.

"He left a letter saying that he had crossed a line and OnePP agreed to let him switch bureaus. I don't know to which one though." Cragen could see the devastation in her eyes and he felt his heart break for her. "Liv, I'm so sorry."

The fiery glare that acknowledged Cragen caused him to flinch, "Don't call me Liv anymore." She hissed before storming out.
