A/N - I've never written anything like this before, but hope you like it.

"I still want to Elliot" ….

He waited for the "but" - he was fully expecting it, but it never came. Instead the silence between then felt like a sentence as he saw her eyes brim with tears and her face move towards his. All at once there was mere millimetres between them, he froze, if anything was going to happen here it had to be on her terms. Olivia paused and he wondered if she would back away as she had before, but then her lips gently brushed his, their first kiss, 24 years in the making.

The kiss was tentative and short, they broke apart but their lips remained close. Elliot longed take her in his arms and explore a deeper kiss, but he knew that he had to let Olivia take the lead. Liv had expected to feel the familiar sense of fear as when she had when she'd imagined this moment, but no such feeling emerged. Instead she felt a calm spreading through her body, a feeling that everything was in it's rightful place. No longer afraid she lifted her hands up to Elliot's face and pulled him towards her again.

This time the kiss was anything but gentle, Liv felt herself loosing control as their tongues explored each other's mouths. She gave an involuntary moan and her hands moved up to caress his chest through his shirt, she slowly undid the buttons one by one. Elliot, shocked but thrilled at her sudden boldness, moved his lips to her neck kissing up to her earlobe and sucking on it gently. Liv pushed his shirt off his shoulders and ran her hands up and down his back causing Elliot to groan. He reached for her blouse and pulled at it, Liv quickly pulled back and held his hands in place,

"Elliot stop," she whispered

"I'm so sorry Liv, I didn't mean to overstep… I just thought…"

"No it's fine, it's just - I have scars, scars from an attack - I don't want you to be shocked."

"I heard about what happened Liv, I didn't know at the time I swear otherwise I'd have been back here in a heartbeat, but since I've been back, well I'd heard things and I just had to read the file. I'm so sorry that happened to you Liv, I'm so sorry I wasn't here to protect you."

"It was a long time ago Elliot, I'm fine, I just didn't want you to be shocked - or repulsed by my body."

He held her hands, "Liv I promise you, that could never happen, your body could be covered head to toe in scars and you'd still be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." She smiled at his compliment, "but we don't have to go any further, not until your ready, not ever if you never are."

"I want to Elliot," Olivia's brown eyes darkened with desire, "I have never wanted anything, anyone, more than I want this right now."

Elliot's face broke in to his signature grin and his lips touched hers again, it wasn't long before their hands were exploring each other's bodies. This time Elliot waited for Liv to pull her blouse up over her head, he looked down at her chest and stomach, "you are stunning Olivia, the scars just show that you are a survivor, that you're strong and fearless." He kissed down her neck and then moved to kiss the scars on her breasts and abdomen. Liv lay back and let him worship her, she unhooked then removed her bra and he moaned gently at the sight of her full breasts. He moved his lips to them, rubbing and sucking her nipples and she felt her underwear become soaked as she melted in to a puddle of desire.

Olivia wanted more and gently pushing him off her she undid his belt, "I want to see you" she whispered and he smiled pulling his trousers and boxers down letting his cock spring free. He was bigger than she'd imagined and Liv couldn't help but groan when she took him in her hand, knowing just how good he'd feel inside her. Elliot slipped his hand in to her jeans and began to massage her clit through her knickers. Frustrated at the almost touch Liv pulled off her jeans and underwear and guided his hand back to her soaking pussy. Elliot slid one thick finger inside her, then another. He rubbed at the front wall of her vagina causing her to shout when he hit her g spot. "Fuck Elliot," she moaned and lay back, as he fingered her, "god I'm close." Liv couldn't believe the effect he was having on her. Normally it took lots of foreplay and just the right angle of penetration for her to orgasm but a few minutes of Elliot's fingers inside her and she was almost there.

"Cum for me Liv" he whispered in to her ear

The sound of his encouragement send Olivia over the edge, she cried out "Elliot" and lay back on the coach panting. Once she'd caught her breath she smiled up at her partner, "that was incredible"

Elliot breathed a sigh of relief, they'd always been in-sync of course, but he hadn't had many sexual partners and he'd worried he wouldn't be able to satisfy this gorgeous woman. "We can stop there if you want." He said gently

Liv grinned and stood up holding out her hand, "now that hardly seems fair," she teased, "but maybe we should move this to the bedroom. I think we've given my neighbours enough of a show." She nodded towards the large window behind them.

Elliot chuckled, "I think your right" and taking her hand he followed her through to her bedroom. He looked around the space - clean and bright and totally Liv. She had pictures of her and Noah, pictures of her squad and one picture in the centre of her dressing table of the two of them during their partnership. He remembered the day Munch had taken the photo, he'd brought his camera to an after work night out and had snapped the picture without them knowing. They were looking at each other, laughing at some shared joke. He smiled at the memory then turned to see Olivia sat on the edge of her bed, completely naked she beckoned him towards her.

"Come on Stabler I pictured you with more stamina than this."

He grinned, "ah so you pictured this?" He moved towards her

Liv blushed, "once or twice" she admitted pulling him down on to the bed, "you telling me you never did?"

"Hmm more then once or twice" he nodded putting his hands on her hips and leaning in to kiss her again.

It wasn't long before they were lying side by side on the bed, tongues exploring each other's mouths and hands exploring each other's bodies. Elliot moaned as Liv gripped his cock and stroked him, "careful Liv," he whispered, "it's been a while."

She smiled, pleased that her touch had a similar power over him as his did over her. "I want to feel you inside me" she whispered into his ear.

"Are you sure Liv?" Elliot pulled back from her for a moment

"I want this El, please."

He moved on top of her, the tip of his cock paused at her soaking entrance. He wanted to savour the moment, but he also couldn't wait to feel himself inside the woman of his dreams. Slowly Elliot pushed in to her inch by inch, he heard Liv gasp and paused,

"Don't stop" she breathed and he slid his entire length inside her

As he completely filled her they wrapped their arms around each other and kissed deeply, both aware of the enormity of this moment. After 24 years of partnership they finally, fully belonged to each other. The emotion of it caused them both to shed a few silent tears as they gazed in to each other's eyes.

Slowly Elliot began to move inside of her, they both moaned as he sped up. Within moments he was fucking her hard, Liv couldn't help crying out his name as his large cock thrusted in and out of her. Both knew that they wouldn't last long, it felt incredible to be doing this after such a long period of waiting - and neither had been intimate with anyone in a while.

Liv felt herself getting close again, she pulled away from their kiss slightly as she moaned and cried, "I'm so close El, please don't stop,"

He words were all Elliot needed to push him at the edge, "Liv I'm gonna cum," he moaned, "should I pull out?"

"God no," Liv shouted a little louder than she'd intended, "Cum inside me El, please cum inside me."

That was all Elliot could handle, "Olivia" he cried as he ejaculated inside her, Liv's second orgasm washed over her as she heard him screaming her name in pleasure.

They lay in each other's arms panting. Elliot moved to kiss her gently and whispered "that was incredible Liv."

"It really was," she smiled contentedly, "worth the wait!"

He chucked a little, "yes, it definitely was. Although I hope it won't be another 24 years before we do it again."
