Truth And Deception

(Chapter Eight: Surprise Visit)

The following day Olivia was feeling much better. Elliot was trying to find a way to make up the honeymoon without leaving town. He came in from the grocery store and tossed his keys on the counter. He put away the groceries then reached to pick up his keys.

That's it, he thought as he looked down at his key ring. Laying on the top of the pile of keys was the key Cragen had given him to the cabin a few years back so that he could take Dickie camping and fishing out there. It was perfect. No one knew they were even in town. If they packed up a few things and went to the cabin, they would be close enough to town if he needed to get Olivia to her doctor but he could also make it a last minute romantic get away for his new bride.

Elliot went into the bedroom to talk to Olivia. She was in the bathroom soaking in a hot bubble bath.

"I have an idea."

"What's that?"

"Cragen's cabin. No one knows we are even in town, Liv. We could sneak off to the cabin for the next few days and have our own little mini vacation. Finish off our honeymoon."

She smiled at him. "That sounds good."

"Okay, I will start packing and make a list of things we need. When you get out of here we'll go by the store and head out."

"I'm excited. Four days alone with you in a cabin in the middle of nowhere."

Elliot kissed her tenderly. "I love you baby."

"I love you, too."

They spend the next few days at the cabin just laying around sleeping late and making love all night. They couldn't get enough of each other. On day three Elliot made them dinner and opened a bottle of wine as they laid on a blanket in front of the fire place watching the flicker of the flames and just holding each other.

Before long one thing had lead to another and Elliot had undressed her and was on top of her in the floor making love to her again. A thin sheet laid across his waist and her hands clawed their way down his strong back with each thrust inside of her. Olivia closed her eyes and tipped her head back as he raised up over her and continued to move inside her.

They were both moaning in pleasure and gasping for breath when all of a sudden the front door came open and the light turned on. Olivia's eyes shot open as Elliot fell over her in an attempt to cover her and he pulled her chest against his revealing her bare back to the intruder. Olivia closed her eyes and buried her face against Elliot's shoulder as she heard a familiar voice.

"Elliot what the Hell are you doing?"

Elliot placed one hand against the back of her head and his other arm was around her waist still holding her body against his to cover her.

"Making love to my wife," he replied looking up at Cragen.

Olivia opened her eyes and stared at Elliot waiting for Cragen to either leave the room or say something. He just stood there for a few minutes in shock, then turned and walked back outside.

"Oh my God," Olivia said as she dropped back to the floor. "Our boss just caught us having sex."

"And it was good too."

"Way to keep a secret, El." She laughed as she sat up and reached for her shirt pulling it on.

"He caught us Liv. I was inside you, we were naked, rolling around in the floor together and moaning. It was pretty obvious what was going on. And I figured before he yells at us about the sex I might as well tell him we're married."

She looked at Elliot and laughed. "This is more than a little humiliating."

"Yeah, it's also disappointing. We were just getting to the good part."

Olivia stood up as Elliot zipped his jeans and pulled his tee shirt on.

"You should go out there and talk to him," she said as she folded up the blanket.

"No way, you go."

"Why me?"

"Because he won't kill you."

She laughed again and exhaled.

"Okay, I will go. You go start coffee, I have a feeling we are going to need it."

"I'm on it."

Olivia slipped her shoes on and walked slowly out to Cragen's car. She opened the door and climbed into the passengers seat and closed the door behind her.

"Elliot too scared to come out here?" Cragen said softly. He knew them so well.

"Yup," she replied staring at the dash board.

"How long has this been going on?"

"Not long. A few months. But we have been in love with each other for years."

"I know. I figured something would eventually happen. I just never thought I would walk in on it while it was happening."

"I'm sorry. We didn't think anyone would come here."

"Yeah, I could tell. The people down the road drove past today and saw the car. They called me to come check it out."

Cragen reached over and picked up her hand looking at the diamond as it glistened in the moonlight.

"Nice ring."

"Thank you. We got married three nights ago."

"Congratulations. Was it nice?"

"Small. But nice, yes. That was the way I wanted it. Just he and I."

"And he is taking good care of you?"

"Yes."

"He'd better."

"When are you guys coming back to work?"

"Monday morning."

"I'll see you then. You can break your news to everyone else."

Olivia nodded.

"Do you want to come in for some coffee?"

"No, I'll head back and let you two have some time alone."

"Good night," she said as she stepped out of the car.

"Good night, Liv."

She closed the door and Cragen drove away.

Olivia ran her hands over her face and exhaled deeply. What a night!
