WARNING! THIS CHAPTER IS RATED M. So if you don't like that kind of stuff...you might want to skip this chapter.
Anyway...I stayed up late to write this chapter so I could update before the weekend. I won't have time to write the next chapter until at least Tuesday...sorry about that but I have a lot of people visiting me this weekend and will be too busy to write. I hope you enjoy this chapter and it holds you over until then :)
The next morning, Olivia woke up and walked out to the kitchen where Elliot was brewing some coffee. The kids were all at the table eating breakfast with Bernie and Lucy as she walked up beside him to grab a mug.
"Good morning…" She whispered smiling shyly at him.
He looked over at her, and flashed that special smile he saved for her. "Good morning…"
He lifted the coffee pot and poured some into her mug. "How did you sleep?" She asked scooping some sugar into the mug.
Elliot chuckled. "Uh well considering you kissed me right before we went to bed…I didn't sleep much at all."
She turned and shrugged. "I slept like a baby…"
When she sat down at the table, Maureen smiled at her. "Grandma and Lucy are taking us camping. She says you and Dad could use some alone time…" She said wagging her eyebrows.
Elliot sat down next to his mother. "Of course they did. Because they both like to stick their noses into other people's business."
Kathleen glared at her father. "Just like you did yesterday with Tim and Ethan?"
Everyone laughed and Elliot shook his head. "That was a completely different situation."
"No it wasn't and you know it. Thanks to you Ethan and Tim will never speak to us again." Maureen said rolling her eyes.
"Mission accomplished…" Elliot said reaching for a piece of her bacon.
Lucy chuckled. "So you don't mind if we take the kids to the camp ground today? We'd be back tomorrow afternoon."
Elliot shrugged. "It's fine with me as long as they are okay with it. I used to have a lot of fun up there with you and Uncle John."
Dickie looked nervous. "Um…are there any wolves out at this camp ground?"
"Wolves?" Lucy asked looking at her. "I've lived here since I was twenty one Dickie and I've never seen a wolf up in these parts."
He thought about it for a moment and then nodded. "Okay then. I'm okay with going camping then."
"Great." Bernie said standing up. "After breakfast why don't you guys back a bag and then we'll head out. We can go fishing to catch something for dinner tonight and everything."
The kids hurried their way through breakfast and went to go pack as Olivia and Elliot did the dishes. He was washing as she was drying and he cleared his throat nervously.
"Are you okay with us being alone here tonight?" He asked her nervously.
She smiled at him. "Yes Elliot…I don't think we need a chaperone, do you?"
He smirked at her. "No. We don't need a chaperone…because I'm hoping if we're alone I'll get another kiss."
She laughed and shook her head. "Don't get your hopes up mister…"
He smiled. "So what was the kiss for last night then?"
She took a deep breath and shrugged. "I guess it was a moment of weakness…"
"It's because you find me so irresistible…" He said turning the water off and leaning into her.
She rolled her eyes and smacked him with the towel. "God I hate you sometimes…"
"No you don't. Not even a little bit…" He said watching her walk into the living room as the kids ran back downstairs to go.
"You guys excited to go camping?" Olivia asked as she sat down on the couch.
Elliot followed her as Lizzie jumped up beside her on the couch. "I'm so excited! I can't wait!"
Elliot sat down next to Kathleen and put his arm around her. "You guys need to listen to Grandma and Auntie Lu okay? Don't give them a hard time…"
"Dad…come on…we are perfect angels!" Kathleen said with a smirk on her face.
He chuckled. "Yeah okay…"
"Oh please…what have we ever done that is that terrible?" Maureen asked her Dad.
He shrugged. "No you've never done anything to terrible but you all can be a pain in my butt from time to time."
"The feeling is mutual…" Kathleen said patting her Dad's leg.
Everyone laughed as Bernie and Lucy came downstairs with their bags. "Everyone ready to go?" Lucy asked.
"Let's hit the road!" Dickie said jumping up off the couch.
Elliot and Olivia followed them outside and he helped pack up the car. Olivia hugged each of the kids before they jumped in the car and Lucy got in the front seat to drive.
"Alright. Be good guys. Call if you need anything." Elliot said slapping the hood of the car.
"Have fun you two…" Bernie said with a smirk.
Elliot rolled his eyes and leaned in the passenger window to kiss his Mom's cheek. "Cool it Ma…"
He stepped back as they pulled out of the driveway and Olivia walked up beside him to wave to them as they left. Lucy honked the horn as they pulled down the street just as Elliot turned back to Olivia.
"So…what do you want to do today?" He asked shoving his hands in his pockets.
She looked up at the sun and took a deep breath. "I'd like to sit out for a bit. It's gorgeous."
Elliot nodded. "Alright. I think I'm gonna go for a swim."
She smiled as they walked back into the house to get ready to go outside again. When she had her bathing suit on she made her way to the backyard and saw Elliot standing on the dock looking out at the lake. She dragged one of the lounge chairs out to the dock and he turned and smiled when he saw her.
"Want to come in with me?" He asked cocking his head towards the water.
She shook her head. "Not yet. Maybe in a little while when I need to get out of the sun." She pulled her cover up off and held out some sunscreen to him. "Want to put some on my back?"
He squinted, looking her up and down in her black bikini and cleared his throat nervously. "Sure…"
She smiled and turned around, holding her hair to the side for him. She licked her lips and tried to keep calm as she felt his hands touch her back as he smoothed the lotion out across her back. Elliot felt his heart pounding in her chest as he touched her smooth skin. His hands moved from her shoulders, down the length of her back and under the straps of her bikini top.
She bit her lip as his hands moved lower and she tried to keep the flashbacks of their night together from flooding her mind. "All done…" He whispered.
Olivia let her hair fall down around her shoulders again as she turned back to him. "Thanks…"
He looked like he was in a bit of daze and she couldn't help but smile. "No problem…"
She nudged him towards the water and he laughed as he walked closer to the edge. She put the lounge chair out and then lay on her stomach, her face towards the water so she could watch him. He dived into the water making the muscles in his back and arms bulge out and she had to slip her sunglasses over her eyes to hide how much she was enjoying the view.
When he came up for air, he smirked at her and then started to swim towards the middle of the lake. Olivia sighed happily and rested her head on her arms; she closed her eyes and felt her body relax. It felt so good to be away from the city and work, she didn't realize how much she needed a break.
A few minutes later, Elliot popped up out of the water and rested his arms on the dock. "I kind of hate you right now…"
She opened her eyes and lifted her sunglasses up on top of her head. "What did I do?"
He laughed. "You're lying there in a bikini teasing me…that's what you are doing."
She laughed and rolled her eyes. "What am I supposed to do? Sit out here in a turtleneck sweater and jeans? I'd die of heat stroke!"
"It would be less difficult for me to be around you if you were wearing that…" He said chuckling.
She rested her chin in her hand and smiled at him. "You've survived for seven years being around me without jumping me…I think you'll be okay."
He groaned. "That was before I knew what it was like to be with you…"
"Oh…right." She said smiling shyly. "It was pretty good…"
He raised an eye brow at her. "Just pretty good? That's all I get? I pulled out some of my best moves that night!"
She laughed knowing he was trying to break the tension and make her feel better. "Alright, alright…it was…well it was amazing actually."
He pulled himself up onto the dock; his body was dripping and glistening in the sun as he leaned against the big post in the corner. "That it was…"
She lay her head back down on the chair and sighed. "You know I'm sorry about how I left the next morning…I just…I panicked."
He reached for the towel that he had brought out to use. "I know."
She licked her lips and sighed sadly. "To be honest…I don't know how you don't hate me. I don't get why you even invited me here…if someone did that to me I don't think I could forgive them."
He smiled at her. "I'm not going to pretend that it didn't hurt Olivia. But I know you…I know you didn't do it to try and hurt me. You were scared…and to be honest so was I. Still am a little…"
"You are?" She whispered to him.
He nodded and leaned his head against the post. "Of course. This isn't something I'm taking lightly Olivia. I know how I feel about you and I want to do this right."
She pulled herself up and walked over to sit beside him on the dock. "You're the one that has been in a serious relationship before. I don't know how all this works…" She smirked at him playfully. "I was kind of hoping that you would be the one to teach me how to handle all this…"
He laughed and shook his head. "Liv…there is no manual on how to be in a relationship. It's kind of all just a crap shoot…you hope for the best."
She pouted. "You aren't making me feel very confident here El…"
He smiled and leaned forward to grab her hand. "It's not going to be perfect Olivia. We're going to have fights and things we need to work through…but I want to make this work."
She stared at him for a moment. "I just worry that we're both so stubborn that when we fight we won't be able to apologize. And then we'll end up doing something we both regret just to be spiteful."
"Yeah we're probably going to hurt each other from time to time Olivia…but we have to take it all in stride." He said shrugging. "No relationship is perfect."
She nodded her head and moved to pull her hair up in a ponytail. "I guess you're right…"
"Don't worry so much…" He whispered. "No matter what you just need to remember that I love you. Okay?"
She smiled and nodded slowly. "Okay…"
He smiled and slid into the water again off the dock, when he popped back up, he put his hands on her legs. "Come in with me."
She felt her feet touch the water and she pretended to think it was cold. "No come on El…I don't want too."
"Come on…" He said pulling at her legs.
She tried to pull her legs back up onto the dock but he pulled her into the water before she could run away. She screeched as she fell into the water, he pulled her towards him and wrapped his arms around her waist as they floated in the water.
"Think I can get another kiss?" He asked holding her hips in his hands.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and stared at him for a moment. "I don't think you deserve one after pulling me into the lake against my will!"
He chuckled and leaned closer to her. "Oh come on…you know you want too."
She scrunched up her nose and sighed. "You are so cocky, you know that?"
He shrugged. "Just stating a fact…you want me."
Olivia leaned in closer to him and smiled as her lips met his again. "And you don't want me?"
He inhaled as he felt her so close, "Oh no…I definitely want you."
She smiled and leaned back into him, letting their lips meet again. Instead of pulling back quickly she traced his bottom lip with her tongue making him moan softly. She smiled against his lips as he gripped her hips tighter and deepened the kiss.
When she pulled away again she smiled and kissed his nose before slipping back under the water to swim away from him. He smiled when he saw her pop back up towards the middle of the lake and he swam out to her needing to hold her again. Things were definitely starting to look up.
Later that evening, Olivia was sitting in the backyard on a bench watching the sunset over the lake. Elliot had cooked her dinner and they had eaten outside, talking and laughing the whole time.
He came up beside her and sat down, handing her her glass of wine. "Here."
She smiled. "Thanks."
"I love it out here this time of night…" He said breathing in the cool air.
She leaned into him and curled her legs up under her. "It is really beautiful."
Elliot wrapped an arm around her shoulder and kissed the top of her head. "This is honestly one of my favorite places in the world. And I'm so glad that I got to share it with you."
She nuzzled his neck and breathed him in. "I feel honored that you are sharing it with me El…I've loved spending time with your family. It makes me feel like a part of your family…which is something that I've never felt before."
He squeezed her shoulder and pulled her closer. "You are a part of this family Olivia. And if I have it my way…you always will be."
She sighed and moved a little so she could look at him. "I never expected someone like you in my life Elliot. I've never had someone that actually cares about me the way you do…and the truth is I don't know how to deal with it. You know so much about me…more than anyone else has ever known about me. But I still don't know how to let you all the way in…"
He moved a strand of her hair behind her ear and tried to smile down at her. "I know it isn't easy for you Liv…and I'm not expecting you to change your life overnight. But I am in this for the long run."
She smiled and sat up straighter. "You are about to get another kiss Stabler…"
He smirked and reached up to cup her face in his hands as she leaned into him. Just as their lips met, the sun set completely and the sky began to get darker. But they didn't notice, instead Elliot pulled her closer to him. She couldn't hold back any longer, so she slipped a leg over his lap and straddled his hips.
He pulled away slightly and looked deep into her eyes. "Liv…"
She licked her lips and traced his cheek with her finger. "Yeah El?"
"You know I want this…but I don't want to rush you." He whispered.
She smiled sadly at him. "You're afraid I'll be gone in the morning aren't you?"
He laughed and shrugged. "Well…I did drive you here so unless you walk I think I'll be able to catch up to you if you do leave."
"I'm not going anywhere…" She whispered.
His eyes opened wider in surprise. "What are you saying?"
She took a deep breath and cupped his face in her hands. "I'm saying I'm more terrified than you could possibly realize El…but being here with you…" She shrugged and leaned forward to kiss him again gently. "It made me realize I don't want to be without you…"
His hand slid up her back and he couldn't keep the smile off his face. "So…are you saying we are together?"
She giggled. "I'm saying…" She paused for a moment and took a deep breath. "I'm in love with you Elliot Stabler…"
He stared at her, unable to move or even speak. He had been waiting to hear those words for longer then he could even say. To be honest, hearing those words made him more emotional then he thought he could ever possibly be. He didn't even blink as he stared at her, feeling incredibly lost in her eyes as he realized everything he wanted was right in front of him and he could finally have it.
Olivia took his silence as him changing his mind, she bit her lip nervously. "El?"
He leaned towards her again and kissed her gently. "You don't know how good it feels to hear you say that…"
She sighed in relief as he pulled her closer again. She wrapped her arms around his neck again and squealed when he picked her up off of the bench.
"What are you doing?" Olivia asked as he walked towards the back door.
He smirked and kissed her neck. "Bringing this inside…"
She gasped as he bit down on her collarbone, and pushed open the door. He carried her through the kitchen and down the hallway towards his bedroom. The door was open so he brought her to the bed and laid her down gently.
"Tell me to stop and I will…" He whispered, pulling his shirt up over his head.
She reached up and grabbed his hand, pulling him down to her. "I want this. I want us..."
Elliot leaned down over her, holding himself up by his arms. "I love you."
She slid her hand up to his face and traced his lip with her pointer finger. "I love you too…"
He smiled and leaned down to kiss her again, finally feeling at home. She grabbed his torso and rolled him over so she could straddle his hips as she pulled off her shirt and threw it onto the floor. His hands slid up her bare stomach and reached behind her to unclasp her bra.
She let the straps fall down her arms and he pulled it off, throwing it aside. He sat up and let his lips seek out her neck again before making their way down to her chest.
When his lips closed around one of her nipples she inhaled sharply and gripped his back. He felt her nails dig into his skin but he didn't care, he rolled her over again and stared down at her as his hands reached down to the button of her jeans.
She smiled and lifted her hips as he pulled her pants down over her tan legs. He threw them aside like the rest of their clothes and then hooked his fingers under the straps of her panties. She licked her lips as he pulled those down too and then continued to kiss and nip at her bare skin.
"Elliot…" She whispered feeling her skin begin to tingle from his touch.
He licked from her chest down to her belly button and smiled against her skin. "You are so sexy…so beautiful."
She ran a hand over his head and blushed. "El…"
He smiled and kissed her stomach again before moving back up to kiss her lips. She reached down to unbutton his jeans and began to push them down over his hips. Elliot stood moved to stand up and pulled his jeans all the way off, he let them fall at his feet before stepping out of them.
Then he lay back over her, and she cupped his face in her hands. "Promise you're going to say?" He whispered to her.
She lifted her head slowly to kiss him. "I promise…"
That's all he needed to hear before he slid inside of her. She whimpered and bit her lip as he rested his forehead against hers while he began to move in and out of her slowly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, kissing him with all the passion she had.
He moaned against her lips as he slid in deeper feeling incredibly grateful to be with her again. He truly never thought he would be able to be with her again this way. She grasped his shoulder as the pleasure took over her body and she arched her back, pressing her chest into him.
"Oh God!" She screamed as he continued to move in and out of her. "Elliot…oh my God…"
He nuzzled the side of her face before leaning against the crook of her neck. He breathed her in as she slid her hands down his back making him shiver and groan against her jaw.
She flipped him over and straddled his hips as he sat up so she could sit in his lap. He wrapped his hands in her hair as hers slid under his arms to hold his back and grind further into him. He pulled her hair slightly, making her neck more exposed to him as he bit down gently.
"Elliot…" She moaned loudly. "So good…"
He lifted his hips off the bed to meet her halfway as she bounced on top of him. He felt her grasp his back again and heard her inhale sharply as her walls tightened around him. She whimpered as tears of pleasure fell from her eyes, he kissed them away and laid her back down to continue to make love to her.
He took her hands in his and held them over her head against the pillow as he continued to move inside of her. No one had ever made her feel this amazing and she couldn't keep from screaming as she felt her body begin to convulse again as another orgasm build up in her body.
"Elliot! Yes! Don't stop…" She screamed.
He smiled and leaned down to kiss her. "Look at me Liv…"
She arched her back again and let her eyes flutter open to look at him. "Elliot…baby…so good…"
"I love you…" He whispered to her again as he thrust up inside of her.
"I love you…" As the pleasure came crashing through her again she felt him spill inside of her.
He groaned and rolled over onto his side, pulling out of her. Olivia could barely catch her breath as she turned her head towards him. He was smiling as he pulled her up against his side; she rested her head on his chest and kissed it gently.
"So was that just good? Or amazing?" He asked referring to their talk before on the dock.
She laughed against his skin and rolled over on top of him. "Definitely amazing…phenomenal. Incredible…"
He smirked and pulled her face closer to his. "Glad you enjoyed it babe…"
She licked her lips and touched his face gently. "I think I could get used to this…"
"You better get used to this Liv…I'm not letting you go again." He whispered as he slid his hands onto her back and stroked her spine with his finger.
She leaned down to kiss him again. "Good to know…"
He smiled against her lips and flipped her over onto her back. Now that he had her, he couldn't get enough of her. She giggled as his lips attached to her neck again and she knew this was where she belonged…
The next morning, the sun was shining through the window as Elliot woke up. He rolled over onto his side and smiled when he saw Olivia fast asleep beside him. This was the first time he ever woke up next to her and he didn't ever want to wake up without her.
The white sheet was laying over her back, only her shoulders were visible to him. He smiled and leaned over to kiss them gently and he heard her mumble before her eyes fluttered open.
"Good morning beautiful…" He whispered moving his kisses from her shoulder to the side of her head and finally to her lips.
She smiled and slid her arm out from under her to cup his face. "Good morning."
"You're still here…" He whispered against her lips.
She smiled and kissed him again. "I'm still here…"
"Last night was incredible Liv…" He said honestly. "I was hoping that would happen while we were here…but I was starting to think it wouldn't."
She caressed his cheek and smiled. "It wasn't really part of the plan…but it felt right. This feels right…"
"Yes it does…" He said as he leaned forward to kiss her again. "Are you happy?"
"I'm happier than I've ever been El…" She whispered.
He smiled and kissed her shoulder again before sitting up. "That's all I've ever wanted Liv…to make you happy."
She reached for his arm and pulled at it gently. "Where are you going?"
He looked down at her. "I was going to make you some breakfast…"
She shook her head and pulled him back down to the bed as she rolled over on top of him. "I'm not hungry…"
When he felt her lips on his neck he shivered and looked over at the clock. "We do have a few hours to kill before the troops get back…"
She lifted her head back up and smiled mischievously. "I think I know what we can do to pass the time…"
He smirked and grabbed her hips as he flipped her over making her scream and laugh. As he held himself up over her and stared deep into her eyes, he knew that she was the one he was going to spend the rest of his life with. Everything was finally falling into place…
Later that afternoon, when they were showered and had eaten Olivia nervously pulled at his arm. They were standing in the kitchen as he pulled her in for a hug; he kissed the top of her head.
"You okay?" He asked rubbing her back gently.
She nodded against his chest and breathed him in. "Just a little nervous for your kids to get back…"
He smiled and pulled away just a little so he could see her face. "Why? They are going to be happy to know we are together finally."
She smiled and played with the hem of his shirt feeling anxious. "I know…but it's one thing for them to say they want us to be together and another for them to really accept it. I love you so much and I want them to know that I love them too…"
He leaned down and kissed her gently, he loved the way she cared so much about his kids. "Liv they know…it's okay."
She pouted and huffed. "I'm nervous…and your Mom and Aunt…I know they've been asking about us but are they okay with it?"
He laughed and cupped her face in his hands. "Of course they are. They adore you and they want me to be happy…" He pulled her face closer to his and kissed her lips and then her nose. "And you make me happy…"
She sighed and leaned back into him, holding tightly to his arms. "Okay."
"Don't worry babe." He said rocking her back and forth gently. "I'm right here…"
She breathed him in and felt herself relax in his arms just as they heard the car pull up out front. Elliot kissed the top of her head again and then started to pull away, he grabbed her hand and led her to the driveway so they could greet the them.
"Hey Dad!" Dickie called from the window as he hopped out of the car. "I caught the biggest fish ever!"
Elliot smiled as Olivia stood a little behind him; their hands were still intertwined. "That's awesome buddy! I can't wait to hear all about it!"
"We had a great time." Bernie said as she got out of the car. "I hope you didn't miss us too much."
Elliot glanced back at Olivia who had a nervous smile on her face; he winked and let go of her hand as he pulled her closer to him. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and then turned back to his kids, Mom and Aunt. "We missed you guys…but we had a good time too…"
Maureen stepped around the back of the car and smiled. "Something's different…"
He smiled at his oldest daughter and rubbed Olivia's shoulder. "Olivia and I had a long talk…and we were wondering what you guys would think about us being a couple…"
"You're serious?" Kathleen asked dropping her bag at her feet, as a huge smile erupted on her face.
Elliot nodded. "Very serious."
"So you'd be like boyfriend and girlfriend?" Lizzie asked from where she stood beside Lucy.
Elliot chuckled. "Yeah…I guess we would be."
Maureen laughed. "Finally…"
"So you're okay with it then?" Elliot asked feeling Olivia relax against his side.
"Okay with it?" Kathleen asked. "Dad we've only been waiting for it to happen since you and Mom got divorced."
"And when you said Olivia was coming on our trip with us we assumed it was because you were together already." Dickie said shrugging.
"Of course we're okay with it!" Maureen said smiling at them both. "Olivia's already part of the family but this just makes it more official!"
He smiled at his kids and looked down at Olivia. "Well I'm glad you guys approve because we are very happy…"
The four of them rushed over to Olivia and Elliot as they all hugged one another. Bernie and Lucy stood by the car, watching them happily as they started to discuss the camping trip.
"I told you all they needed was a little time alone…" Lucy said looking over at her younger sister. "You should know by now I'm always right about these things."
Bernie rolled her eyes. "Oh please…if I hadn't of talked to Olivia the other night we'd all still be waiting for them to get together. It's all thanks to me this happened."
Lucy shook her head. "You're impossible."
"I learned from you dear sister…" Bernie said winking before she walked over to her son to hug him.
Lucy stood back and watched them all walk back towards the house. She sighed happily and looked up at the sky and thought about her husband John. It was times like these she wished he was here to share these moments…but as the wind blew around her she knew that his spirit was always with her. And she also knew that Elliot and Olivia were going to be as happy as she and John had once been…
Inside the kids were showing them the pictures on the camera as Bernie started to fix up lunch for everyone. Olivia was leaning against Elliot's side as they sat together on the couch to look at the camera Maureen was holding.
He looked over at her and smiled. "Love you…" He whispered.
She winked and leaned forward to kiss him gently. "I love you too."
They turned back to the camera and Olivia couldn't' believe how comfortable she felt here with all of them. Elliot had been right…something's really were worth fighting for.
I hope you are all happy since you've been waiting anxiously for them to get together! Have a great weekend and I will update by Tuesday for sure! No latter then that I promise! :)
