Liv sat on her sofa with her glass of wine and popcorn in hand. She flipped through the news stations and was surprised that it was a seemingly light day. No matter how much she tried to relax, her mind kept wandering back to the kiss she and Fitz had shared in the oval a few days ago. She had been off the past few days, and hadn't been notified that her presence was needed, so Liv chose to stay home and hide out from the world and her feelings for Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III.

Liv brought her hand to her mouth and traced her lips with her fingers. Immediately her mind rushed back to how good it felt to be in Fitz's arms. How amazing it felt to have his lips pressed firmly against his. She recalled how soaked she became just by him snaking his tongue into her mouth. She remembered just how much her heart broke when she realized that this could never be - At least not while he was in office, and Fitz still had three more years left. Liv began to wonder if they would have a chance of being together once he left office. She needed something, anything to get her mind off of this man. No sooner than the thought crept into her mind, Liv's phone rang. Liv looked at her caller ID and saw it was her friend Abby.

"Sorry Abby, but I'll have to call you back later." Liv said as she hit ignore and set the phone back on her table. Feeling too drained to move into her bedroom, Liv pulled her afghan over her body and drifted off to sleep.

Liv woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door. She looked at her clock and realized it was a little after two in the morning and wondered who it could be. Mumbling to herself, Liv walked towards the door and looked through the peep hole. Shocked at what she saw, Liv opened the door to make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her.

"Hi."

"Hi. How are you?"

"What are you doing here?"

"I've missed you."

"You shouldn't have come."

"I needed to see you."

"You can't be here."

"Livvie, we need to talk about what happened."

"Fitz, there is nothing to talk about. You had a little too much to drink and things got out of hand."

"Livvie, that's a lie and you know it."

Fitz took a few steps towards Liv closing in the gap between them. He reached out and stroked her hair, and was surprised when she didn't try to move from his grip. Fitz wasn't sure what would happen between them after this moment, but they at least owed it to themselves to be open to anything.

"Fitz, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Ok Livvie. Tell me you didn't feel it. Tell me you don't notice the force that draws us together. Tell me you didn't feel the flames that danced around, caressing our flesh as we kissed. Tell me you don't melt when I do this…" Fitz said as he pulled Liv in close to him and began kissing her neck.

"Fitz…"

"Tell me you aren't wet for me right now. Tell me you don't want my hands exploring your body. Tell me you don't want me to taste you, feel you, and make love to you. Tell me this…"

Fitz lowered his head and allowed his tongue to glide across Liv's lips. Liv tried to hold out as long as she could but this man was just too damn sexy. Liv moaned and granted Fitz the access his tongue had been seeking. This kiss wasn't like the first kiss. This kiss was full of passion, longing, pure desperation to see, to feel, to taste as much of one another as possible. Liv found herself once again turning into putty in Fitz's hands. Fitz tightened his hold on Liv and began peppering kisses over her face. Fitz worked his way to Liv's neck and positioned his lips just below her ear.

"Tell me that kiss meant nothing and I will never bring this up again. The problem is that you can't. You can't deny it Livvie. There is something here between us. It's only been a week and I am falling in love with you. I would do anything to have you by my side. I can't breathe without you, I can't sleep without you. It's only been a week but you are my everything. Tell me you don't feel the same about me."

"Fitz…" Liv moaned trying to come to her senses. He was right. There was something there between them. Something she couldn't describe. It was as if their souls spoke on another level. When they were together no words were needed. They could hear each other's thoughts; they could feel each other's feelings. Liv couldn't fight it anymore. She and Fitz belonged together. Liv stepped back and looked into Fitz's eyes. Immediately she found herself drowning in the love she saw in them. It had only been a week, but Liv felt that they deserved a chance to see what they had. Liv wrapped her arms around Fitz's neck and pulled him in for a kiss. Liv didn't know what came over her but suddenly it wasn't enough. She needed this man in the worst way. Her entire body ached for his touch, and she moaned when she felt his erection pressing into her stomach. This time she wouldn't turn him away. This time she would allow them to have this moment.

"Make love to me Fitz."

No sooner than the words left her mouth Fitz had Liv in his arms and was making his way back to her bedroom. He laid her down on the bed and just stared at her. There was no doubt that this woman was the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes on. Fitz lowered himself on top of Liv and began the slowest most pleasurable assault on her neck. Liv moaned as her hands crept their way back into his hair. She loved the way her hands felt tangled in his curls.

Liv threw her head back enjoying the feeling of Fitz's hands exploring her body. The more he touched her the more she ached. She needed him inside of her now.

"Fitz…"

"Quiet." Fitz responded knowing exactly what she needed. He crept back onto his knees and slowly began to remove Liv's pajama pants and her top. He stared at her in awe as he removed the laced panties that barely covered her body. Liv's hips thrust upwards as she felt Fitz nibbling on her inner thigh. She was so hot and so wet he couldn't believe he was responsible for making her react this way. He parted her folds and ran his tongue upwards making sure to tug on her bundle of nerves ever so gently with his teeth.

Liv cried out as Fitz inserted one then two fingers into her core and began pumping them as he continued the slow assault on her nub. Liv felt herself coming undone and slightly overwhelmed by the pleasure he was giving her.

"Fitz…"

"Let go sweet baby. Don't hold back, I want to know what I do to you." Fitz said before lowering his head once again. Fitz felt Liv's walls closing in around him and knew she was there. A few more flicks of his tongue against her nerves and Liv came harder than she ever had in her life. Fitz withdrew his fingers from Liv's core and looked her square in the eyes as he sucked them clean.

"Very sweet." Fitz said refusing to break eye contact. The look Fitz was giving Liv drove her insane. She needed him inside of her now. Liv reached for Fitz's belt buckle and pulled him up as she began to rid him of his pants and boxers. She began fumbling with the buttons on his shirt and found herself quickly becoming frustrated with them. She ripped his shirt open and whimpered as he stood up to remove his clothing fully. In one move Fitz was back on the bed and lining himself up with her core.

"Condom?" Fitz asked as rational thoughts broke through the moment.

"Birth control." Liv responded looking into his eyes once more.

Fitz lowered his mouth just barely over Liv's and allowed his tongue to glide across her lips. Liv granted him access and he began to enter Liv slowly, keeping in stride with his tongue. Liv gasped when she felt Fitz stretching her fully and adjusted her body to take more of him in. Fitz waited for Liv to resume breathing before he set a slow yet stead rhythm.

"Am I hurting you?" Fitz asked as he looked into Liv's eyes.

"No." Liv said as she slowly began meeting Fitz thrust for thrust. How things escalated so quickly between them was beyond her. This man did things to her mind and her body that made her question her sanity. Liv wrapped her arms and legs around Fitz and allowed him to set the tone.

"Livvie it feels so good to be inside of you. I've dreamt of this moment from the moment I first laid eyes on you."

"Me too Fitz…. Harder…"

"Oh Liv…. Liv… Liv…"

"Liv! Wake up you're going to be late for work!"

"Abby go away! Let me finish my dream!" Liv yelled as she threw a pillow at her friend.

"Was he putting it on you that good? All I heard when I opened the door was you moaning. I almost didn't wake you but I need to know why you're dreaming of the POTUS laying it on you?"

"Abby I have no idea what you're talking about." Liv said as she realized she must've said his name in her sleep. She knew that Abby wouldn't let this go. They had been friends forever and Abby knew her so well she could tell if her heartbeat wasn't normal.

"Liv, save it. You were moaning his name. Fitz! OOOh Fitz harder…. Oh yea right there Fitz." Abby said in a taunting tone. "Did you sleep with him?" Abby asked as the thought crossed her mind.

"Abby No! He's the president and I'm head of his secret service detail. That would be inappropriate." Liv answered hoping her face wasn't revealing much.

"Something happened Liv, I know it. I know you, and I won't stop until I find out what."

"Abby…"

"Liv, if he's into you I say go for it. You're too uptight. What's the big whoop if the POTUS has a thing for his bodyguard? You're both single consenting adults aren't you?"

"Abby, you know I can't talk about the details of my job with you."

"I'm not talking about your job. I'm talking about your body. Now dish!"

Liv paused for a moment. She knew that whatever she told Abby would be kept between the two of them, but she wondered if she could trust her with a secret as big as this.

"Ok, if I tell you will you leave it alone?"

"Probably not, but you know you want to tell me anyway. C'mon Liv, I know there is something you need to get off… or on your chest so just spill it."

"There may have been a kiss."

"Shut up! You kissed the Fitzgerald Grant!"

"It was a heat of the moment type of thing. There was a problem and we both panicked. He hugged me and it went from there. The only problem is I freaked out and ran out of the Oval. I took a few days off to collect my thoughts."

"So you made out with the hottest, most powerful man in the world and you ran away?! Have I taught you nothing?"

"Abby this is scary. It wasn't just a kiss. There was more to it than that."

"You have feelings for him, don't you?"

Liv looked up at Abby and tears began to fall down her face. She couldn't hide it; she did have feelings for this man. The fact that her job was to protect him made the situation even harder. She couldn't keep him alive if her emotions got in the way could she?

"You do have feelings for him. Liv…." Abby said as she reached out and held her friends hand. In the twenty years she and Liv had known one another, never once had she seen Liv with her guard completely down. Not since the day that they both refused to speak about.

"Abby, I'm fine. I have to get dressed now. I'm going to be late."

"So are you going to talk to him about what happened? Or are you going to just ignore things like you always do?"

"I don't know."

"Ok, I've got to get to work. I have to go in to the office before going in front of Justice Thornton. This case is a big one and I'm not too thrilled about the fact that she's the judge I'm forced to go in front of."

"Tell Verna I said hi. Maybe she'll lighten up a little." Liv said with a wink.

"Yea, I'll do that, with this client, I could use all of the help I can get." Abby said jokingly and turned to leave. Liv heard Abby gasp as she opened the door. Liv ran to Abby's side and noticed twelve of her men standing in the doorway. The men stepped aside and Liv's biggest fear, or dream depending on the view had become a reality.

"Hi." Fitz said as he locked eyes with Liv and nodded towards Abby .He made his way into Liv's apartment and removed his coat. Abby stood there frozen until she was ushered out by the secret service. Liv looked as if she had just seen a ghost. Liv noticed the door closing in front of her, but she still couldn't believe what she was witnessing. Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III was standing in her living room. She had dodged his calls, something she knew could possibly costLiv her job, and here he was.

"Hi." Liv managed to choke out barely above a whisper. Liv took in his appearance. He looked so good. The first thing she noticed was that his curl was there and it was flawless. He wasn't dressed in his normal suit and tie; instead he was dressed in a pair of jeans and a sweater. The man looked even more delicious in his normal attire.

"Fitz, what are you doing here?" Liv asked as she looked into his eyes, still in disbelief.

"Livvie, we need to talk about what happened, and I'm not leaving here until we do."

HAPPY SCANDAL THURSDAY EVERYONE! Ok, so I know some of you weren't expecting this to be a dream, and some of you may be mad but trust me, their time will come. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it. I am going to try to focus on an update for To Zion a little later and should hopefully have that up for you all by tomorrow. Depending on how 315 goes tonight, I may have chapter 5 up and ready for you all as well.
