Things drastcially cooled down over the next week. Olivia knew she wouldn't get away from the White House altogether without a fight and was in constant email contact with staffers, but decided to refocus on OPA. If something urgent came up she wouldn't hesitate to help out, but until that time, she was back at OPA, back to an almost normal schedule.

Franklin and Lilly had cooled down somewhat too. Lilly's friends had confronted her about not spending enough time with them because she was always with Franklin so she talked to him and they agreed she would spend some more time with them. They called each other most nights regardless, and when they were together they were just as they had been. They seemed to be settling into something good. Olivia was happy for them.

A week exactly after the election and Lilly and Franklin were at their apartment. She came out and felt a twinge of de ja vu to find Jake standing at her door with a bunch of flowers. She smiled at him.

"Jake." He handed her the flowers.

"You said you had a busy month with work, my calculation is that a month is over, in fact it is more than a month. So I am here again, to ask if you would like to accompany me to dinner one night."

"You don't give up do you?" she asked.

"Navy men do not give up." He responded.

"I have noticed." She said quietly, mostly to herself.

"I am not sure it is a great idea, considering Lilly and Franklin's relationship. Perhaps we should speak to them first." She suggested, trying to put him off.

"Liv, they were the ones who set us up remember, rollerblading? But anyways, I already spoke to them both. They are fine with it, Franklin even seemed happy about it." Olivia looked at him slightly impressed. When she didn't respond he took matters into his own hands.

"I don't know about you, but I would really like to feel your luscious lips against mine again" he said grabbing her chin between his thumb and his bent index finger. Her lips parted slightly and her breathing hitched. Without conciously doing so her tounge brushed across her slightly parted lips, anticipating their connection. He got so close she could feel his breath drying out the moisture she applied to her lips moments ago.

Just as she was expecting their lips to meet he pulled away. He smirked "I'll take that as a yes." He said breaking her from her train of thought. She frowned at him before pushing past him to open the front door. "Fine" he heard her say as she swung the door open and walked towards the kitchen. His smile only grew at her agreement.

"Franklin." She called moving to stand in front of Jake just inside the front door. "Thursday night good for you?"

"I will have to check…"

"Thursday night is fine" Franklin said walking into the room with Lilly.

"Perfect. I'll pick you up at 7pm." He said. Everyone said goodbye and Olivia closed the door behind them. She turned around to Franklin who smiled, but shrugged, knowing what she was thinking. She just shook her head at him.

"You know I can handle myself." She said.

"Except, you would have found an excuse to say no." He said giving her a knowing look. She rolled her eyes and dropped the topic.

XXXX

Thursday came around quicker than Olivia would have liked, but perhaps that was a good thing, she didn't have time to reconsider, not that Franklin would let her anyways. Jake was dropping off Lilly when he picked Olivia up. Olivia didn't feel so bad leaving the two of them, or just Franklin at home when she had work, but this wasn't work. She had contemplated having one of her team stop by, but she couldn't think of a legitimate reason for them to do so.

She was getting dressed, observing her outfit in the mirror before deciding on shoes. She was wearing a knee length white dress with a small drape across the front. She was deciding on shoes when her phone rang. She picked it up, thinking it was work. It wasn't.

"Hi." She heard.

"Oh, Hi." She said slightly stunned. Fitz made a face at her response.

"How are you?" he asked.

"Im fine. How is the President re-elect?" she asked in a cheery tone. Fitz huffed.

"Just fine." This time Olivia made a face.

"Whats wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted to call, see how your going." That was the truth really, he just missed her. "Oh wait, I was going to ask you, but got so busy, do you and Franklin want to come to the White House for Thanks Giving? Jerry and Karen cant make it. Cyrus and James will be there."

"Thank you. I will speak to Franklin about it."

"Ok. Well it would be nice to see you both, and thank you for your work on the campaign." He paused. He had gone into work mode, which he didn't normally do with her. "Anyways, what are you doing?" he asked casually.

"Just getting ready to go out." She tried to sound just as casual.

"Out?" he inquried.

"Yes. Out." She responded.

"Okay" he dragged out. She was being guarded and he didn't really know why. Just then Franklin popped his head in to her room.

"Jake's here Liv." Franklin said, which Fitz heard.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I…I'll let you go. Have a good night, I'll speak to you soon." And he hung up before she could say anything more. She felt bad. She stared at the phone for a few moments before putting it in her clutch and heading to the front door.

Jake was standing at the door, with more flowers. "You look beautiful, as always." He complimented, handing her the flowers.

"I still have your flowers from Tuesday. I only have one vase." She said to him.

"Well, I think you need to buy some more vases."

"I'll take these." Franklin said grabbing the flowers. "You two run along." He said deliberately cliché. "Now you have her home before midnight." He said continuing the act.

Olivia kissed his cheek. "Yes Dad." Before closing the door behind them.

"So where are we going?" she asked on the lift down.

"It's a surprise." He said giving her a smile.

"I hate surprises." She mumbled.

They drove to an indian restaurant where Jake ran in to grab the food, before getting back in the car. "How do you know if I will like what you ordered?" she asked snarkily.

"I asked Franklin." He responded simply. She frowned.

They pulled up to the parking lot closest to the Lincoln Memorial. He hopped out of the car and walked around to her door to open it for her. She gave him a questioning look. "Come on." Was all he said.

He opened the door behind Olivia and pulled out a picnic basket, which he had put the food in. She then looked at the picnic basket questioningly. He only grabbed her hand and they walked to the front of the Memorial.

"Pick a spot." He said.

"What do you mean?" she asked confused.

"Point to a spot, and we shall sit there to eat." He explained.

"Im wearing a white dress, Im not sitting on the ground." She said.

"I have a blanket." He said holding up the basket.

"Can we sit on the steps?" she asked.

"Your wish is my command." He said and they set up a small picnic at the top of the steps. He threw out the blanket, put the indian food on top and pulled out a bottle of her favourite wine.

"How did you kn…Franklin?" she asked. She was slightly impressed at all the effort he had gone to. He nodded. He poured her a glass and one for himself before sitting down and motioning for her to do the same. She followed suit.

Olivia managed to somehow completely avoid getting the colourful indian food on her white dress, while Jake struggled to maintain such dexterity. Which became a point of laughter throughout the meal.

When they had finished the food and wine Jake packed up the picnic and they walked back to the car. He then pulled out a pair of thongs. "I thought we could take a walk, but I don't think they would be very appropriate." He said motioning for her heels.

"Have you thought of everything?" she asked definitely impressed now.

"Yes." He said adamantly.

They crossed the road and began walking along the Potomac Highway which slighlty overhung across the river. There weren't too many cars to make it noisy, but there were an array of people who proved to be fun to people watch. There was an older man with a much younger asian wife. "Mail order." Jake whispered as they went past. Olivia back handed his arm at that comment before her hand fell beside her. As it did so however her hand breifly brushed against Jakes and he grabbed it with his own, glancing at her face quickly to make sure it was ok. Olivia smiled slightly.

They continued walking, making comments about the people walking by, or the cars driving by. They kept walking until they arrived at a jut out in the path that further stuck out over the river. Olivia released Jakes hand and went to the cement wall. She leant against it. Jake stood next to her and leant against the wall too.

"Wow your short." He said noticing that she barely had to bend to lean against he wall, whereas he was almost doubled over.

"You just noticed?" she asked, not offended.

"You always have your heels on." He said.

After observing the dark river she turned to see what the river reflected. The sky. It was a very still evening, unseasonably warm too. She leant her elbows and forearms on top of the wall. Jake moved, Olivia assumed to mimic her. "Beautiful." She said just above a whisper.

"Mmmhmm" Jake concurred.

Olivia turned to look at him and noticed that he was standing up straight, just looking at her. She blushed, realising he was talking about her, not the sky. He moved in front of her. She straightened up, so he moved closer. He could see her trying to escape, it was in her eyes.

"Close your eyes." He said softly, but she heard. She looked between both of his eyes before deciding to follow his request. Slowly Jake moved his hand to her face. When he could feel her heavy breathing on his face, they were only milimeters apart. "I have been waiting all night to do this." He said before quickly closing the gap between their lips. His intention was to pull away again slowly, but she did not let him. Her hands went around his neck and pulled him down to her, deepening the kiss. Then one of her elbows hooked over his shoulder and her hand on his back pulled his whole body closer to her.

Jake reached his other arm around her and pulled her to sit on the wall they had been leaning against. He placed his body between her knees. Her claves had been sitting flush against the wall, but Olivia needed to be closer to him so she scooted forward, opening her legs further as she got closer to him. Jake was rubbing up and down one of her legs, never daring to go under the fabric.

They continued kissing until someone wolf wistled at them. Olivia felt like a teenager. She giggled before becoming concerned by her behaviour. She covered her face and burried her face in his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and laughed. Her mind started running. What if they took a photo and put it on facebook or twitter, or what if the press was around, they were close to the monuments. And then she realised that she shouldnt care, because they werent doing anything wrong, except perhaps getting a little too caught up in each other.

She removed herself from his chest and looked at him. Lust filled both their eyes. "Take me home Jake." She said and he quickly lifted he from the wall and planted her back on the ground. They walked back to the car, much faster this time, both wanting to get out of there.

When Olivia got in the car she pulled him in for a quick kiss that almost got out of hand but Jake pulled away and ran around the car and into the driver seat. Jake drove to his house which, as government/defence force rental, was not far away.

They pulled up into the garage. As the door was closing behind them Olivia's mind started backing out. Olivia opened her door and got out of the car. Jake had already gone inside to turn on some lights. She followed him but almost as soon as she was in the door he was on her. She was momentarily stunned by his attack but regained composure.

"Jake, we shouldn't. This is our first date." She said as he sucked on her neck. He pulled away, only his head, leaving her body pressed between his and the wall.

"This is not our first date. I know we were chaparoning, but those were dates. So if my calculations are correct this is our 7th date." He said before kissing the other side of her neck. His hands swept down her body and back up. Seconds later she threw caution to the wind and pulled his face off her neck using the wall as leverage to push him back before she kissed his mouth hard. He had honestly half expected her to ask him to stop but he was glad she didn't. She ran her hands over his shoulders, getting under the collar of his blazer and helping him shrug it off. She then began work on his buttons. When the shirt was fully open she ran one hand up and town his toned abs. Jake ripped his shirt of while she felt his abs. He felt around her back for her zipper and pulled it down and yanked the dress over her shoulders and down to her waist where she quickly pulled her arms out of the sleeves.

By this time they were at the stairs so Jake simply picked her up. She wrapped her legs around him and squeeled at his action.

When she felt secure she moved one of her hands underneath her bum to feel his erection through his pants and began rubbing it. They were nearly at the top of the stairs but Olivia's hand caused Jake to stop, in fact he leant forward so her back was against the stairs, his arms supporting his weight hovering over her.

"If you want me to take you right here on these stairs keep doing that." He said looking her right in the eyes, so she knew he was serious. His body slid up against hers so she could no longer grip him through his pants from the angle and his cock was pressing against her core. She whimpered slightly before he straightened up, taking her with him and they made it the rest of the way to the bedroom.

He placed her on her feet a few feet from the bed. She pushed the top of her dress down a little further and it fell to the floor. He stood back to admire her quickly before he reached around to undo her bra. When her arms were released and the bra flung across the room she moved her hands to his belt buckle. He used one hand to help her and with the other he placed his palm at the top of her ribcage and glided his thumb over her nipple. It hardened immeditately and sent a tingle throughout her whole body. She pushed his pants down, but his boxers remained. Before she could remove them he kissed her hard again and her hands went to his face.

Jake kissed her and snaked his hand down her back, slighly bending. He slipped his hand into her panties and squeezed her ass. He moaned in her mouth feeling her in his hands. He then slipped his hand between her cheeks and into the moisture below. It was her turn to moan and she did. She pulled away to look at him.

"Your so wet." He said with a look of pure pleasure on his face. He moved his hand back and forth rubbing her all over. He then began placing kisses down her body. He got down on his knees and continued kissing. When he got to the top of per panties at the front he brought his other hand up to the front and moved the hand that was rubbing her down to the floor effectively removing her panties from her. She stepped out of them and before she could do anything else he grabbed both her thighs keeping her in place and kissed her slit gently. He then swept his tounge through it just as gently.

Her hands went to his hair. He looked up at her face to ensure her hands were not about to pull him away. He saw her eyes looking straight back at him and took that as permission to continue. He moved one hand from her thigh and moved it to her slit while he nibbled on her clit. He probed her entrance gently before sliding it fully into her. She let out a ragged breath then little moans followed. He stole glances up at her while he pleased her, but her eyes were mostly squeezed tightly shut.

When he put another finger inside her he felt her clench tightly around them. She then moved one of her legs over onto his shoulder. The fact that she knew what she wanted and could action that was a massive turn on to him and in return he started pumping his fingers harder. With her leg over his shoulder she could move her pelvis onto his fingers more which heightened the pleasure.

He continued to suck and lick and when her orgasm hit she clenched onto his head, pushing it further into her. Her legs shook and he worried she might fall so he tried to support her as much as possible with his face locked onto her clit.

When she relented on her grip on the back of his head he pulled his fingers out of her and stood up. She ran her hands over his body with a smile on her face before she pushed him back by his chest. He landed on the bed. She kneeled down in front of him. He lifted his bum so she could pull down his breifs.

"You don't have to." He said running a hand through her hair. She grabbed his cock and he closed his mouth. She kissed his closed mouth. She then licked her lips, which he opened his eyes just in time to see.

"But I want to." She said. She scooted back slightly and began kissing his cock while stroking it. She then placed her tongue just in reach of the tip so that when she pulled it it touched her tongue. Then she took just the head in, before swallowing whole. He was less endowed than Fitz, but certainly not small. She felt him grow inside her mouth as her saliva lubricated her hand.

When her hand was effortlessly gliding up and down him with the saliva she created he knew he had to stop her. He pushed her shoulder back gently to discontect her from his cock.

"Get up here." He said referring to the bed generally. But she took a more litteral approach and straddled his lap, letting the head of his cock sit at her entrance. She bit her lip before she sunk down onto him. He quickly brought their lips together and kissed her, one hand on her face, the other on her hip guiding her. She continued to ride him, speeding up slightly with every thrust. She then began swirling her hips. He let her repeat that few times before he wanted to take control.

He turned his whole body and rolled them over so he was on top of her diagonally across the bed. He kneeled between her legs before he grabbed himself and rubbed his head across her slipperly core. He did that twice before he lined up and entered her. He then grabbed her ankles and held them open slightly so they werent blocking his view of any part of her. He watched as her breast bounced as he entered her again and again. She used her own hand to gently tweat one of her own nipples. He transferred one of her ankles to the other, so one of his large hands now held both her ankles and he reached out to knead the other breast. She was meweling.

After continuous pounding he noticed they had moved from the middle of the bed. Olivia's head was now coming off the side of the bed. So he stopped and picked her up, placing her head on the pillow. He leaned down and kissed her. He enetered her again.

"Slow now baby." She moaned before kissing him again. He followed her instrutions: slow. And that was what she got but this found him reaching a peak shortly after. He began sucking on her neck, hard. He needed to go a little faster though to release and slowly picked up the pace. She could see he was close, and feel it, so she grabbed his hand and put it between them. He got the picture and began rubbing circles on her bundle of nerves. That quickly got her close and she let him know.

She squeezed his thighs with her calves as she climaxed and not even 10 seconds later he came too, squeezing her breast with his other hand.

They both were silent, trying to cath their breaths. Jake had pulled out of her and collapsed on his back next to her. When she had caught her breath she turned on her side and smiled at him. He put one arm under her neck and pulled her closer to him, kissing her forehead. He then gently stroked her hair.

Olivia suddenly noticed the clock on his bedside table which read close to 1am.

"Jake, its 1am, I really should get home, they have school tomorrow." Jake nodded. They showered quickly, seperately, before they got back in his car and drove home.

"I hope I didn't offend you, I have never sacked myself out of someones bed before." She said apologetically.

"Its fine, really, I understand." And he did. Since his wife died he had only had women over when Lilly was at a friends house, and they had just been one night stands, scratching an itch.

They arrived at Olivia's apartment, before they entered Olivia turned around.

"I had a really good night tonight Jake. Thank you."

"I had a good time too .We should do it again sometime."

"I would like that." She said looking at him. They stood like that for a few seconds before Olivia kissed jake gently on the lips. Then they walked in the door. Olivia went to Franklin's room while Jake stood next to the door. Olivia peaked in and saw they were both asleep. Lilly was wearing the shirt Franklin had been wearing when they left earlier this evening and Franklin had no shirt on. Olivia closed the door before retuning to Jake.

"They are asleep. I don't mind if she stays the night, it is pretty late and they should sleep." She said.

Jake nodded. "Thanks Liv. Maybe I'll see you this weekend."

"Ok Jake." And he kissed her breifly again before leaving. Olivia hoped into bed and fell asleep quickly.
