A/N: I hope you enjoy this chapter. It's for all the hopeless romantics out there and for E/O shippers were would love nothing more than for Dick Wolff, to realize that the public want them TOGETHER!

Happy reading and sorry for the long wait! :)

After the blood issue, things calmed down some. Olivia made sure that there wasn't a possibly chance that the blood would go anywhere near him, and when she cleaned up her wound, she discovered it wasn't too deep at all. It could be fixed with a ban-aid, but she wrapped it after that anyway, just to be extra cautious.

Dinner wasn't enjoyed as much as they would have liked. An issue like that had taken the fun out of it, but they settled on the couch some time later, to watch a movie. As the credits rolled, Olivia turned to Elliot with a shy smile.

"I don't know what you feel on the topic but-"

"Yes," he answered instantly.

"Yes what…" she laughed. "I didn't ask anything yet."

"You were going to ask me about sex right?"

Olivia blushed. "I was,"

"Yes," he repeated. "I don't see the issue if we have protection."

Olivia smiled.

Elliot moved closer to her, and pulled an arm around her shoulder.

"Wow, you move quick," she smiled.

"I don't think 12 years is quick. I've loved you for a long time, Liv… a REALLY long time."

She stroked his check with her hand and leaned over to kiss his mouth. It was more powerful than she anticipated, and she hadn't quite been ready for it. Not on this emotional level at least. He pulled his arm around her and brought her closer to him. She gripped the material of his shirt, bunching it around his shoulder, and holding onto him as if she had waited more than 12 years but 50 years for this moment, for him.

All the pent-up emotion, all the high anxiety, all the love, hate and anger she'd ever felt for him, spilled into that one kiss.

He scooped her into his arms, carrying her swiftly into bedroom, supporting her back and under her legs, their eyes locked and wanting. Desire running high through both of them, she had never loved a single soul, the way she loved this man, she way she wanted him, ached for him, dreamed about him. Her emotions were strong, as was her desire as he led her into the bedroom.

He deposited her on the bed, and crawled over her, arching his body so that his weight didn't overwhelm her. She shifted beneath him, and smiled up at him; he took that as a hint to lower himself only slightly and kissed her mouth. Any fear she had possessed earlier seemed to evaporate in the moment, and she allowed his kisses to send her to another world.

I am TERRIBLY sorry for the short chapter, I know it's undeserved and you guys have been amazing, but I'm working on several FF at the moment and it seems to be creeping up on me. Nonetheless I hope that the chapter was worth it, post a review and let me know… if you don't, I'll be evil and not give you another chapter EVER and you do want to know how or if they decide to have children, don't you… what will happen to them? Yes, I like playing God… hehehehe
