Dean Porter couldn't keep his eyes off Olivia Benson as she strutted in the precinct. He loved that strut. The 'Benson Strut' that every female tried to copy yet always failed. They way her hips moved in her tight black slacks ,the sound of her heels, the way her breast bounced in the exposed area of her shirt catching every man's eye, and how her beautiful smooth hair moved while she walked. He loved it...He loved her.

"So let's get started on this case,"she said laying her Dolce and Cabana purse on Nicks desk. Dean had sat down at Olivia's old empty desk and had already handed Amanda and Nick case files to get caught up on the case.

"Well all the victims have been saying they all went to a restaurant called Revlous'," Dean said.

"Revlous'?" Nick said standing from his desk looking at pictures of the victims in the file. "Isn't that where only people that are as rich as Oprah eat?"

"Yes," Dean said. "It seems that the perp are attacking the wealthy. The apartment Benson and I will go undercover at is Allure Lindson apartment complex, where a lot of wealthy Manhattan people live,".

"Any thing on this guy?" Olivia asked before she took a bite out of the donut she got from near the coffee machine.

"Nope. Always wear black mask, black gloves, completely covered. He doesn't even speak, but they all have smelled him," Dean informed.

"They smell the smell of smoke and lavender," Amanda read off the file.

"Lavender?"Nick asked. "Probably lotion,".

"This guy even uses a condom? Dammit,".Olivia said frustrated.

"They all say that they felt like they were being stalked but never thought anything of it," Dean said.

"Bet they wished they could now," Amanda mumbled.

"Rollins..."Olivia mumbled.

"Sorry, sarge," Amanda apologized.

"Okay so we look at this more and tonight we pack up and get rested before we start the undercover work,". Olivia ordered.

Nick and Amanda had left to go talk to one of the victims at Mercy and Olivia had already ordered them to take lunch when they were done. If they had the appetite.

Dean and Olivia had went to Meloni's to get something to eat. They both sat in a booth in the far corner laughing and joking just catching up. Olivia laughed when Dean threw a frenchfry at her.

"I really miss you Olivia,".Dean smiled.

"I've missed you too," Olivia returned his warm smile before taking a bite out of her burger.

Dean loved watching her eat. Even though she ate messy and with force he found it funny yet also attractive.

Olivia swallowed her food just as she got a text and she looked down seeing it was Brian. She looked down and started to read his text.

Dear Liv-

Roses are red violets are blue

You may hate me right now, but I love you

I know you just want some time

My fucking god, I hate trying to rhyme

Either way I love you to death, I miss you

Love Brian.

Olivia smiled at the text before laying her cell phone down and frowning. That small poem wasn't going to make her forgive him. Yet she appreciated him for trying.

"Everything okay?"Dean asked worried.

"Of course it is...it's fine," she lied. She really wanted to fix things between her and Brian but she still had that feeling...Of dishonesty from him.

"Olivia can I ask you something?" Dean asked snapping her out her thoughts.

"Yeah...sure,"

"Are you okay...with things? I know Stabler left and...Lewis,"his voice trailed off yet she only smiled and gently touched his hand.

"Dean I promise...I will never be 'okay' but I'm working on it...and I'm still sane. That's what matters,". She said gently.

"I think you need to go home and get ready,".Dean said. He pulled out his wallet and put some money on the table to cover their expenses.

"Yeah...plus I think Captain Harris is already at the precinct. Let him run things for a while,".

Olivia and Dean stood up and he held up her long black trench coat for her. She smiled as she slid her arms in it and put it on ,flinging her hair back. Dean had already inhaled some of her scent in. The sweet smell of Vanilla and strawberries.

When they walked out Dean had held up and umbrella for her, helping her cross the street under the cold rain. Olivia held onto his elbow, getting close to him as they quickly walked towards his car.

The wind was so powerful it blew Dean's umbrella straight out of his hand and into the face of a patrol officer who spilled his coffee. Olivia burst into laughter holding onto Dean as they were a few feet from the car holding on to each other as they rain fell on them.

Dean laughed and then stared at Olivia intently watching her beautiful smile and hearing her elegant laugh. He couldn't stop himself from gently cupping her smooth skin with his gloved hand, brushing his thumb up and down her cheek.

"Dean..."Olivia whispered almost near a moan. She stared into his eyes. Brown meeting brown and surprisingly she didn't stop him when he kissed her fully on the mouth. She actually pulled in as she slipped her tongue into his mouth and they started to French kiss out in the open against his car.

Suddenly Brian's face flashed in her mind and she gently pushed Dean away,"Dean...stop. I have a boyfriend,".

It wasn't she wasn't attracted to him, or she didn't find him smart, funny, caring, and extremely sexy;because god knows she did. She was just someone else's...She was Brian's.

"I...I...I have...to go Dean,". Olivia said and walked down the street waving for a taxi. She tried to stop him but she had already climbed into a yellow cab ignoring him calling her name.

-#-#-#-#-#-#BENSIDY APARTMENT-#-#-#-#

Olivia sighed when she walked into her apartment and then gasped seeing him standing there. Brian Cassidy stood in the dinning area holding flowers and there were cinnamon apple scented candles lit up through the dark apartment and dinner was cooked and at the table.

"Brian...wha-" she was at a loss of words, shocked that he would go through all the trouble.

"Tucker gave me the day off so...I made us a romantic dinner. Olivia you may not think that I love you but trust me...I love you more than life itself,".

Olivia felt a sudden rush of guilt fill her body and she could still smell Dean's AXE cologne on her and his sweet taste still on her lips.

"Brian I really love this but...I need to pack,".She said hoping he couldn't smell the cologne on her.

"Pack?What!" Brian grew suddenly nervous, "You lea-"

"No!" Olivia chuckled. " I'm going...undercover forthe feds,"

"Oh you scared me" he sighed in relief. "Well how long? Two days? Three?"

"More like two weeks,"

"Weeks!" Brian said surprised. "Well I guess I can't really complain since I've been leaving you alone a lot lately,"

"Yeah that seems fair,"she agreed.

"Well I guess we better make this dinner mean something,".He walked over to her watching her take her coat off and gave her a passionate kiss.

She nearly cried out in frustration feeling how guilty she was for kissing Dean and betraying Brian's trust. Yet she had a feeling he was betraying hers. He pulled back and gave her the new fresh roses he bought.

As they ate Olivia just listened to Brian complain about work. Work. Work. Work. He made a few jokes that made her laugh but...They rarely had anything in common. Olivia wanted to go to an art show...Brian would want to go a sports bar. It's not that she didn't enjoy it it's just that she was getting sick of it.

When they were finished he pulled out a long blue case and opened it holding up a beautiful purple sapphire necklace with a diamond band wrapped around it.

"Brian it's beautiful,"she said on the verge of tears.

"I thought it was beautiful too. My mother and I went shopping for yesterday. I know purples your favorite color so when my mom suggested blue I was like no...get purple. I think you look sexy in purple,". Brian said. "I know you may think I don't love you because your old and sagging. Well so am I. You still look beautiful and sexy. To be honest I like your body more than what it did twelve years ago. You age well...look at me. I would think you would cheat on me for some sexier guy. Guess I'm lucky. I sure don't deserve you. I love you Olivia Marie Benson,". He gave her another passionate kiss yet she had mixed emotions. Love,fear, and most of all...guilt.

When he pulled away he licked the tear that came out of her right eye. "By the way Liv, I love that new perfume your wearing,".
