The Proposal

(Chapter Three: And Then There Were Two)

Olivia's apartment was the closest, so that became their destination. As they stepped off the elevator, Alex pulled out her key to Liv's apartment. She lead them down the hall and unlocked the door, tossing her keys onto the table beside the door. Before Elliot could even close the door she had pushed Olivia playfully against the wall and was kissing her passionately.

"Lex," Olivia said pushing her back a bit. "I was thinking maybe we could have some wine first. To kind of help set the mood. It always makes me feel more sexy."

"Okay," Alex whispered giving her a quick tender kiss.

Alex moved to the kitchen and set out three glasses on the counter as she began to fill them with Olivia's favorite red wine.

Olivia shifted her eyes to meet Elliot's as she pressed her lips together. She combed her fingers through her hair and took her jacket off hanging it in the closet beside the door. She picked up Alex's as well placing it on the hanger beside hers.

"Can I take your jacket?" She asked reaching to take Elliot's from him.

"You don't have to be nervous," he said softly as he smiled at her. "This is supposed to be fun. Try not to worry so much."

Olivia forced a smile as she closed the closet door.

"I'm not worried," she said as she walked to the kitchen and climbed up on a bar stool taking the glass of wine from Alex.

"So, umm….do we want to talk about this and sort of plan it out. Or just walk back there and figure it out as we go along?" Elliot asked only half joking.

"Do you always plan out sex before you have it?" Alex asked looking at him.

"No."

"It is a force of nature, Detective Stabler. Just let it happen. Allow yourself to react to what you feel. Sex is a beautiful, natural thing."

"Yeah. I have just never done anything like this, so I'm not quite sure of the rules and boundaries."

Alex laughed a little and rolled her eyes as she took a sip of wine from her glass.

"Maybe we should talk about it, Alex. I have never done this either."

"Well, neither have I. I guess we will just have to figure it out as we go along. But I got plenty of condoms and lubricant and this heated massage oil. And we have all weekend to figure it out. So relax and drink and prepare yourselves for an incredible night of endless pleasure," she said with a laugh. "Does anyone have a fantasy?"

Olivia shook her head.

"Nope," Elliot answered. "I think this pretty much covers it."

"If the two of you will excuse me," Olivia said taking her glass of wine and standing from the barstool, "I am going to change into something more comfortable."

"That sounds nice," Alex said leaning across the counter to kiss her tenderly.

Elliot wasn't quite sure of the purpose of this kiss. Whether to stake her claim on Olivia or their night of sexy fun had already begun and she was trying to turn him on. If this was the case, it was working.

Elliot watched as Olivia pulled back from the kiss and smiled at him before heading down the hallway to her bedroom to prepare for the events yet to come.

"More wine?" Alex asked raising the bottle to fill Elliot's glass as he sat it empty back onto the counter.

"You trying to get me drunk and take advantage of me?"

"Maybe. But the truth is, I am more interested in her."

Elliot gulped and stared at the blonde.

"That's alright, so am I."

"Now that we have that out of the way," she said placing a wine saver in the bottle and putting it away. "I'm not trying to be rude here. I just want you to understand what is going on. I wouldn't want you to confuse anything that might happen here tonight for a love connection on either part. We're together and we're in love. But she needs something, sexually, that I cannot give her. That is why I asked you to come back here with us. I know the two of you had something. I know that you can give her what she needs. I love her. I only want to make her happy."

"So you want to watch her have sex with me?"

"I want to give her whatever it is that makes her happy."

"I guess I understand that. I have never been in that situation before, but I understand loving someone so much that you would do anything to keep them happy."

"You asked where the boundaries were, between these walls there are none. I love her and I would do anything for her. Even if that means arranging nights like this."

"Am I going to have to do this all on my own?" Olivia asked from the bedroom. "In thirty seconds, I am starting without you."

"I guess we'd better get back there," Elliot said looking down the hall in the direction from which her voice had come.

Elliot opened Olivia's bedroom door as she smell of her seductive body spray filled the aid. The flicker of candles scattered around the bedroom provided the soft glow setting a romantic mood.

Olivia always liked romantic sex. Elliot remembered this from when they were still together. Wine and roses, a few candles here and there were sure to put her in the mood. Alex, on the other hand was a little harder to read. From what Elliot could gather, she liked being in control and was probably the more dominant in the relationship between the women. Elliot wasn't quite sure, but his guess was she preferred the more toward the aggressive side of sex.

He walked across the room and took a seat on the edge of the bed. Olivia was still in the bathroom and Alex tapped gently on the door requesting her presence in the room.

"Liv, are you ready?" She asked as she pulled her boots off.

Olivia opened the door and stood in front of them in her sexy lingerie. She wore black thigh high stockings with a black lace garter belt. Over that were her black lace bikini underwear and a short black lace skirt. Elliot tipped his head as his eyes scanned her body. All the way up to the black suspenders and matching black lace bra. She was so incredibly hot and every eye in the room was on her amazing curves.

"So," she said softly, "are we ready to get this party started?"

"Definitely," Alex said as she moved forward kissing her girlfriend.

Elliot watched in awe as they kissed tenderly and touched each other. Olivia smoothed her hands around Alex's ass and up under the blouse she wore pulling it over her head and dropping it into the floor.

He was fascinated by the fact that Olivia had just taken back control of the room from Alex and she was now calling the shots. Alex sighed as Olivia began to unzip her skirt, leaving her in a short black negligee. Alex kissed her again as she smoothed her hands up under Olivia's short skirt to grip her perfect ass. Then they just stopped, both turning their attention to Elliot sitting there trying not to drool.

Alex turned Olivia to face him and stood behind her. She kissed up the side of Olivia's neck and moved her hands slowly over her body as Olivia moaned softly. Elliot's breath caught in his throat as she smoothed one hand over Liv's flat abdomen and pulled her hips back against her. With the other hand she firmly grasped Olivia's left breast above the bra.

Olivia moaned again and opened her eyes to stare at Elliot. Alex kissed across Olivia's shoulder and neck, then began to nip at her earlobe. Elliot know this was something that drove Olivia crazy. Alex wrapped her arms tight around her girlfriend and nestled her cheek in against Olivia's as they both stared at Elliot.

"Do you want her?" Alex asked dragging her finger tip up Olivia's flat stomach.

"God, yes."

Elliot gulped and watched as Alex lead Olivia to him. Liv stood in front of him staring into his eyes as he reached out to touch her.

"You are so beautiful," Elliot said softly as he placed a kiss on her abdomen.

He smoothed his hands up under the short strip of fabric serving as her skirt, to grip her ass. Olivia moaned and combed her fingers through his hair as she stared into his eyes.

She placed her fingertip against his chest and pushed him back from her. She stepped forward and straddled herself over his lap as she sat down on the bed. Elliot's hands were drawn almost magnetically back to her ass as she began to unbutton his shirt.

He leaned upward desperately trying to steal a kiss, but she wouldn't allow it. Olivia pulled his shirt off and dropped it into the floor behind her. She leaned forward and pushed him back against the bed and smoothed her hands over his bare chest. Elliot could his erection throbbing between them and begging to be set free and he could tell by the look in her eyes that she felt it as well.

Olivia leaned forward tracing her nose over his as she finally allowed him entrance to her mouth. Elliot kissed her passionately as he raised one hand to cup her cheek and trace her jaw line.

"Tell me what you want," she whispered against his lips as she stared into his eyes.

"I want you. All of you," he said raising up for another kiss.

Olivia leaned forward to kiss him as she reached between them and fumbled with his belt. Elliot stared up at her as he felt his jeans pull down his legs and fall into the floor.

"That's better," Olivia said with a smile as she began to pull back from him.

"Where are you going?" He gasped as she laughed playfully.

She sat up and smiled over at Alex as she reached out for her.

"Don't be shy," Olivia said softly as she locked her fingers between Alex's. She kissed her tenderly then smiled down at Elliot. "Kiss her."

Elliot stared at Olivia for a moment then smiled a little uneasy as he looked at Alex.

"She doesn't bite, El. Not unless you want her to." She smiled again. "Kiss her."

Elliot held on to Olivia's waist as he sat up. He sat with her still on his lap and looked at her as she nodded. Elliot leaned closer to Alex and placed his fingers under her chin as he pressed his mouth to hers. The kiss was slow, but passionate and Alex had almost forgotten how a good kiss from a guy felt.

Elliot backed away from Alex as Olivia leaned in to kiss her again. Elliot watched amazed as the two women kissed and explored above him. Olivia moved off of his waist as she lured Alex back onto the bed and the three of them laid there together for a while kissing and touching and exploring each other.

"We should get one of these on you," Olivia suggested as she tore open the first condom wrapper of the evening.

She leaned over Elliot and kissed her way down his chest as she took charge of condom duty.

"Lex?" She purred softly as she reached for Alex. "Show her, El. Show her how you love me."

Elliot nodded his head as he stared into Olivia's eyes. Part of him didn't completely understand why if he was so hung up on her he was about to have sex with Alex, but the other part really didn't care as long as it made Olivia happy.

Olivia guided Alex over Elliot's waist. She moved her hands up under Alex's gown removing her panties and dropped them beside Elliot's boxers in the floor.

"Kiss her," she directed as Alex leaned forward over him and the kissed once more.

When she sat back up she slid down onto him, moaning softly as she did. Olivia snaked her arms around Alex's waist and brushed her fingertips gently over her abdomen. She kissed the side of her neck tenderly and she moved Alex against Elliot and they both began to moan.

Alex rolled her head to one side and gasped as Olivia's fingers dipped under her gown. Olivia kissed her passionately and moved her hands up under the gown to cup and massage Alex's breasts as she entered what was very obviously an orgasm. She pulled the gown over Alex's head and dropped it beside them on the bed as she locked their fingers together and placed their hands against Elliot's chest. As she pushed Alex against him.

Alex leaned back to kiss Olivia as she guided Elliot's hand up Olivia's thigh.

"Your turn," she sighed as she kissed Olivia once more.

Olivia reached over to the night stand picking up a second condom. Alex moved from Elliot and watched as Olivia put on the second condom. She kissed her way up Elliot's chest until his mouth rested against hers.

"Are you okay?" She asked with a sexy smile.

"I'm good," he replied reaching for her.

Elliot pulled Olivia to him as he sat up and traced his fingers over her body. Her golden skin was electric at his fingertips and he had to touch every inch of it. Elliot straddled her over his waist and stared into her eyes as he squeezed her perfect ass with both hands. He smoothed his hands up the curve of her hips and across her perfectly toned abs.

Olivia closed her eyes and tipped her head back just enjoying the feel of his touch on her body once more. Secretly deep inside she had yearned for this for months. His touch, this touch, the touch that only Elliot could provide could satisfy this need that even she didn't quite understand.

Elliot snaked one arm around her waist holding tight to her as he placed his other palm behind her head. In one quick movement he flipped them around and laid her down on the bed.

Olivia now stared up at him, waiting for him to take her the way he had many nights in her dreams. Dreams Alex knew nothing about.

She drew in a deep breath and opened her palm reaching out and placing it against Alex's. Olivia smiled seductively at her as she leaned forward and kissed Olivia. Elliot kissed under her chin and down her neck, trailing kisses all the way down her body.

He slid his hands slowly up her calf muscles over the black stockings until they had dipped under the short skirt. He slid two fingers under each side of her black lacy panties and slowly removed them from her body.

Elliot stared up at her as he smoothed his hand across her inner thigh, causing goose bumps over her warm skin. He ran his finger tip along the elastic band at the top of one of her thigh high stockings and kissed where it touched the inside of her thigh.

Olivia closed her eyes once more, quivering beneath him in anticipation. She pressed her lips together firmly and let out a soft sigh as she felt his tongue enter her body. She rolled her head to the side to peer down at him and run her fingers through his hair.

Olivia arched her back up off the bed as she felt a feminine hand glide slowly up from the waist of the skirt and slipping under the black lace bra to cup her breast. Her ruby lips parted only for a moment before they were met by a pair wearing a different shade of rouge. Alex's kiss was firm and passionate, leaving Olivia wanting more.

Olivia moaned softly and raised up from the bed allowing Alex to remove the bra, then lowered herself back to bed to ride out the waves of the orgasm ripping through her body. She whimpered and gasped softly in attempt to contain her composure as she gripped the bed sheet in both hands. She closed her eyes feeling her body jerk uncontrollably in reaction to Elliot, each soft moan escaping between kisses from Alex.

Elliot raised up and smiled as he stared into her eyes. It had been so long since Olivia had even allowed him to think about her like this. He slid her knees apart with his hand and placed his mouth against her belly just above the waist of the skirt. He dragged his tongue slowly up her body as he kissed his way over her navel and upward where he focused his attention on her breasts. There was a place just under the curve of Olivia's left breast where a small beauty mark laid, this was one of Elliot's favorite places to kiss her and it drove her crazy.

Olivia laughed at the tickle of each kiss and smiled up at him. She raised up to kiss him again, but Elliot pulled away. He sat up and rolled her over on her stomach on the bed, then placed his hands on her hips and raised her as well. Olivia stood on her knees in the bed facing the wall with Elliot behind her.

He kissed a tender spot on her neck as he wrapped his arms around her and massaged her breasts. Olivia dropped her head back against his shoulder and let him take the lead. Anything he did with her at this point was fine by her.

She closed her eyes as she felt his hand slip under the skirt spreading her knees apart a little more. He pulled her ass back against him and bit at her earlobe.

"How bad do you want this?" he asked teasingly in her ear.

"Bad," she gulped as she clutched to his arm.

"Say please," he taunted.

"Please," she breathed as she gasped for air.

"Please, what?"

"Please, I want this."

"Want what?" he mumbled against her ear with a kiss.

"I want you. I…I want you, please."

Elliot chuckled a little.

"I'm here. What do you want me to do?"

"Ellll," she whimpered.

"I don't know if you don't tell me."

"Fuck me," she breathed.

"What was that? I can't hear you."

"Fuck me," she growled. "I want you to fuuuu…ck," she moaned as she felt the power of him entering her.

Instantly Olivia fell back against his chest turning her head to the side to kiss him as he moved inside of her. Her knees trembled beneath her on the bed and in that moment they had both forgotten about the third party in the bedroom.

Alex rolled over and studies Olivia's reaction to each smooth movement Elliot made inside of her. Her moans had never quite sounded this way when they made love. Alex reached out and slid her fingertips slowly up Olivia's right leg. Before it reached her thigh it was met by Elliot's hand and pushed slowly back down.

She watched as Olivia panted and moaned and begged for more. It was as if they didn't even realize she was in the room anymore. Alex took a deep breath and picked up her gown from the floor beside the bed, slipping it back on. She walked across the room to a chair beside the dresser and took a seat, lighting a cigarette to keep her company while she waited for her girlfriend back. Suddenly, this little game they had been playing didn't seem like much fun anymore.

For nearly an hour, Alex watched quietly from the chair as Elliot and Olivia made good use of the bed. They had made love in many different positions before finally finishing in missionary. Elliot laid over Olivia staring down at her and kissing her passionately as they both tried to catch their breath.

Finally Elliot rolled over beside Olivia in the bed as they both laughed for a moment in complete exhaustion. Olivia raised her hand to rest on the empty pillow where Alex had been laying before.

"Lex?" She asked raising up in the bed. "Hey, there you are." She smoothed her hand over the empty space and patted the be. "Come to bed," she said with a smile.

Alex put out her cigarette next to the half a pack that she had already smoked during their little performance. She stood up and made her way to the edge of the bed as she crawled up to lay beside Olivia. She reached out and cupped her hand against the side of Olivia's face.

"I love you," she whispered softly as she kissed Olivia tenderly.

Olivia laughed.

"I love you, too."

The next morning Alex awoke to the buzzing of her phone vibrating against the night stand. She opened her eyes to see Olivia still asleep facing her, with Elliot's arm locked around her waist. Alex took a deep breath and rolled her eyes as she sat up and grabbed the phone.

"Alexandra Cabot," she answered softly as she picked up her clothes from the floor and made her way into the kitchen careful not to wake Olivia.

She talked for a while and then argued with her boss as she dressed herself and started the morning coffee.

"Great," she spat slamming the phone shut and tossing it onto the counter as she poured herself a cup of strong black coffee.

"What was that all about?" She heard softly from behind her.

"Good morning, beautiful."

"Good morning," Olivia answered softly with a yawn.

Alex handed her the cup of coffee and poured herself another.

"So, are you going to tell me what is going on?" Olivia asked staring at her.

"Yeah. Umm, that was my boss. One of my idiot clients was arrested in Connecticut and he wants me to go."

"When?"

"Now."

"You're kidding me. I thought you didn't have to work this weekend?"

"So did I. Liv, I'm sorry."

"It isn't your fault."

"I know. But I promised you this amazing weekend…"

"We had an amazing night. Maybe we could pick this up some other time. Sometime when your idiot client can keep out of trouble," she said kissing Alex tenderly.

"No, Olivia…Look, Elliot is already here and the two of you seemed to have a really good time last night."

"You didn't?"

"No, I did. I just think maybe, this three way sex isn't really me. Until last night it had been nearly two years since I had even been with a man. It was fun, but I think I have really had my fill for a while. I have to go. But you stay."

"Alex, no. It's okay. You know what, one night was enough for a while. I will just head back to your apartment and we can do this again later some time. Sometime when you don't have to run off after."

"Olivia, you stay," Alex said picking up the remainder of the box of condoms from the counter and placing them in her hand. "Stay and have fun and get it out of your system. Just be safe. I love you and I will be home on Monday afternoon."

"Lex, are you sure?"

"I'm sure. Go, before he wakes up alone. I will call you when I get there." Alex kissed her tenderly, then grabbed her jacket and headed out the door.

Olivia exhaled and sat her coffee mug on the kitchen counter, returning to the bedroom.

"Everything okay?" Elliot asked as she climbed back into the bed.

"Yeah."

"Where is Alex?"

"Umm…she had to go."

"Go?"

"Yeah, to Connecticut for the weekend. Some work thing."

"She didn't take you away with her?" He asked kissing the back of her neck.

"No. She gave me these and told me to get it out of my system."

"She's mad?"

"I don't know."

"So, maybe I should go."

"No. She wanted us to stay. Here, together."

Elliot raised the blankets as she crawled back under them and snuggled in against him drifting back to sleep.
