A/N Sorry for the delay. I have broke the screen on my computer and that has made this VERY hard. I will try really hard and do better.

Nine years earlier….

As Liv woke, she rolled over hoping that it wasn't a dream. The naked blonde that lay sleeping beside her confirmed that it was not, which brought a smile to her face. She thought about the events of last night and her smile grew. After all the years that she and Alex had worked together, it finally happened. It all started at Elliot's surprise birthday party….

The party had been at Liv's, so when Alex spent the entire day helping to plan and decorating, she was exhausted and her staying the night was the obvious choice. Everyone had just left and the two women were starting to clean up. The radio played softly as the women worked. Liv looked up to see Alex running the vacuum in the living room. This was all very domestic to Liv. It seemed normal. Like it happened every day. This is what it would be like to come home and share a life with Alex Cabot and Liv couldn't help but love how this all felt. Even if it wasn't real.

Liv was so lost in her thought that she didn't even realize when Alex looked up at her. The blonde smiled and cleared her throat. It didn't change Liv's action. She still remained looking at the other woman. Alex returned the look for a moment and then started to walk toward Liv. Once she was close to her, Alex extended her hand and asked, "Dance with me?"

"Alex, I don't think this is a good-"

"Just once. Then we will resume our cleaning. I promise."

Liv took the hand that was still offered and their bodies found each other. As Tyler Ward sang Red, their bodies seemed to melt further and further into each other's. Liv had her right arm firmly around Alex's waist with her lips touching Alex's shoulder.

"This is nice." Alex whispered.

"Yes, it is." Liv mumbled.

Alex pulled her head back and Liv mirrored the action. "Please tell me that I am not the only one that feels this."

"You aren't." Liv took a step back. "Alex, you know that we can't do this. There is a reason that we've fought this for so long."

"And what would that be? For me, I was scared that you didn't feel the same way." Alex seems angry. "Obviously you have different reasons."

"It's a conflict of interest Alex. You'll be taken off all our cases. I have to think about that."

"So you're choosing your job?" Alex seemed hurt.

"No. I am choosing your job. You've worked hard to get here and you're on the track to becoming someone very big in this town."

"And I don't get a say in who I get to rise with?"

"Alex-"

"I think that I need to go."

Liv followed the women as she tried to gather her things. "Please don't leave. It's almost two in the morning. It isn't safe for you to be out. You agreed this afternoon to stay."

"I don't think this is a good idea, Liv."

"You take the bed and I will sleep out here. Please. It's late. Neither of us needs to be out."

"Okay." Alex said reluctantly.

"Good. I'll get you some clothes and you can shower if you like."

Liv almost never got to sleep on the couch. It wasn't the uncomfortable furniture. It was the thought of Alex in the next room in her bed. It was more than Liv could push out of her mind. She was so glad that Alex had gone to sleep. She didn't think, hell she knew, that she couldn't tell Alex anyone. So she would just lay here, until she fell asleep.

The plan worked out fine until Liv woke, just after three, to someone standing at the foot of the couch.

Liv sat up and wiped her eyes. "Hey. You okay? Is something wrong, you need something?"

"I think that I probably do." Alex said as she walked around the couch and was suddenly straddling the detective. Liv was stunned into silence. "You can stop me whenever you want."

"Okay."

"We aren't going to talk about jobs and conflicts of interest. We are Alex and Olivia. Tonight we're not ADA Cabot and Detective Benson. We are just-us." She leaned down and places a soft kiss on Liv's lips. "Can you do that? Just be here with me tonight and Monday we will worry about the rest?" Alex softly kissed her lips again as she waited for an answer. "You just have to say that you haven't wanted this moment for years." Again, it was the softest of kisses that met Liv's ready lips. "All you have to do is say that you don't want this too and I will stop."

Liv finally spoke. "I will keep that in mind." Liv leaned up and took Alex's face in her hands. "I want this." She said just as their lips crashed together. She felt Alex's tongue graze over her bottom lip, as if to ask for permission. She didn't deny the woman. When Alex raised her arms over head, Liv took the cue to slide her own t-shirt over the other woman's head. When the garment was free and discarded onto the floor, Liv returned to kissing Alex. Alex now had Liv's face in her hands kissing her passionately.

Liv stood and Alex tightened her legs, that were already around Liv's waist. As Liv walked, the kissing didn't stop. It only intensified. At one point Liv stopped and backed Alex against the wall, kissing her way down between Alex's breasts. When Alex moaned, Liv knew that she had to get this woman to bed. When she was there, she made quick work of the remaining clothes on Alex, as well as her own. She was mesmerized by the sound of Alex moaning in her ear. As Liv delved deeper into the woman, the moans would change to a deep moan that vibrated against Liv's ear.

Liv lay here looking at her. She remembers the way the spasm in Alex's thighs felt against the sides of her cheeks. How she tasted and the feel of Alex's fingers running through her hair, grabbing a handful of the wispy hair just before release and holding on tight as waves crashed over her. The moment that blew Liv away was watching Alex return the favor. The feel of her pumping in and out of her with such amazing force, it almost made Liv orgasm again. Just at the thought.

"You know, normally" Alex spoke with her eyes still closed. "I would find someone staring at me while I sleep, with that smile on their face, creepy."

"Me creepy?" Liv grabbed her heart. "Ouch. That hurts me Alex."

"Speaking of hurting." The women smiled. "I am hurting in corners of my body that I forgot I had."

She leaned over and kissed Alex. "Sorry about that."

"I didn't say that I was complaining, detective."

Liv smiled just as her phone rang. "Annnd speaking of my job." She said as she pressed the button. "Benson."

She listened as Liv told them she would be on her way shortly. She leaned over and kissed Alex again. "I vaguely remember hearing you say last night that we had till Monday?"

"What are you proposing?" Alex smiled devilishly.

"I am proposing that I am going to solve this case in record time, and get back in this bed with you."

"I would like that." Alex said against Liv's lips. "Know what else I would like?"

Liv pulled her head back. "If you are about to say something dirty to me, don't. I will think about it all day long- while having to look at Finn, Munch and Elliot. So no."

Liv jumped out of the bed. "I have to get to a scene. " She looked back at the woman in her bed. "Ugh." She jumped back in the bed and kissed Alex again. While she was leaning over her she pulled the sheet up away from Alex's body and look under it.

"What are you doing?"

"Keeping the imagine in my head."

"Oh you can look at me like you want to devour me, but I can't tell you that I want to lick-" Alex was stopped by Liv's hand over her mouth.

"No. No you can't talk to me about licking anything this morning. Tonight, yes. We will talking about licking whatever you want when I am home." She moved her hand and kissed Alex one last time before getting out of bed.

After agreeing that she wouldn't tell Elliot, a shower, and a handful of kisses that came with warning for her to be careful, Liv left for the crime scene. She didn't care what happened today. Nothing was gonna bring her down. She had just had sex with Alex and had her for two more day. Monday, Alex would be the ADA again and they would deal with this mess then. But until then, she was going to enjoy Alex Cabot in a very domestic, and naked, way.
