"I saw that."
Alex looks up, closing her desk drawer quickly, a guilty expression on her face. "Saw what?"
Olivia smirks, leaning against the doorframe of Alex's office. "I know for a fact you have milk duds hidden in that desk."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Olivia pushes herself off the doorframe and pushes the door shut, taking a seat in front of Alex's desk. She quirks her eyebrow. "Would you be prepared to swear that on the stand, Counselor?"
Alex swallows hard, fidgeting in her seat; the way Olivia is staring at her – all unbridled passion and simple playfulness – is close to setting her skin on fire. She reaches into her desk drawer and pulls out the box of milk duds, placing it on the very edge of her desk.
Olivia reaches out and grabs the box. She takes out a couple of the chocolate bits and pops them into her mouth. "You know," she says, around bites, "I never really pictured you as a milk-dud kinda girl."
Alex leans back in her chair, folding her hands behind her head. "Really?" she asks. "What kind of girl did you think I was?"
Olivia thinks for a moment, then says, "Something fancy and expensive, but also delicious – like those Godiva truffles."
"You have an awfully high opinion of me, Detective Benson."
Olivia stands, circles around Alex's desk, places her hands on the armrests of Alex's chair. She leans in close to Alex, making Alex swallow hard. She grins wolfishly and Alex's breath hitches. "You wanna get out of here?"
"God, yes," Alex breathes.
(Before she locks her office door for the night, Alex makes sure to grab the box of milk duds off her desk.)
