Disclaimer: I own nothing
Hey all. Thanks for the reviews. A good friend suggested that you take Terri Clark (country singer) and take a few years off her, give her short hair and you have Tate. Someone else suggested Cathy Debuono. I don't know either of them. Terri has the real cowboy look, Cathy has the tough look and wide shoulders. You decide who you think or give an alternative.
Further to that I just want to ask you to send your thoughts and prayers to the people of Australia who have been hit by disasters recently. I have spoken before about the floods in QLD and that they were hit by a category 5 cyclone. NSW also received heavy flooding, so did VIC after a freak storm on Friday. WA had floods near Carnarvan which has wiped out our fresh fruit supply. Predicting bananas to cost upwards of $12 a kilo. On the weekend large bushfires popped up around Perth, one started by an idiot with an angle grinder but the others are unknown possibly arson. Approx 60 houses lost so far and it's still not contained. For all you Aussies out there make sure you give generously to your fellow countryman, so many desperate people need it. Thankyou
Olivia was in heaven, Tyler's body was above hers, pressing her down into the rug and grass with just the right amount of weight. Tyler's mouth was tenderly making love to hers. Tyler's right hand was under her shirt caressing sensitised skin while her left hand was cupping her right thigh and keeping her perfectly positioned on that damn belt buckle that was driving her crazy.
All Olivia could do was hold on tight to Tyler's shirt and hope she didn't embarrass herself by coming before she had a chance to get naked and feel Tyler's skin on hers, her fingers and mouth on her. She had a feeling she would pass out from the pleasure.
Tyler broke the kiss and nibbled her way down to Olivia's ear, she hit on a particularly sensitive spot which made Olivia buck and cry out beneath her. Tyler grinned and lavished more attention to it, loving the sound of Olivia's breathing getting choppier and the way she arched her long neck for better access.
"You're so beautiful" Tyler murmured "So responsive"
"Ugh" Olivia should have been embarrassed by her reply but Tyler bit on the spot she had been suckling on and she was sure her brain short circuited. It would undoubtedly leave a mark but she didn't care right at this moment.
"I want to make love to you, all day, all night" Tyler returned to kiss her lips softly, pulling back a little.
"Yes" Olivia would agree to anything if she would just kiss her properly. She raked her hands into thick short black hair and pulled her close to kiss her passionately, sending her tongue deep inside, showing Tyler she could be aggressive too.
Tyler forgot why she was going to pull back, it had been a good reason she was sure, but when Olivia's tongue plunged into her mouth she stopped thinking with her head. Their kiss became forceful, their tongues duelled and she was pleasantly surprised when Olivia wouldn't give her an inch. She was also pretty sure if they kept kissing like that one of them was going to end up with a bloody lip. The thought surprisingly turned her on.
She got lost in that idea for a second and Olivia took advantage rolling them over with surprising strength for someone her stature until Tyler found herself on the bottom and looking up at a very passionate turned on Olivia. Wow.
Olivia didn't know where this insatiable need came from, yes it had been a long time but she had been through a drought before. No man had built her to this level of excitement so quickly, had her wanting so badly, needing so desperately. Looking down into Tyler's eyes now she could see they had gone a very dark blue with primal desire and it just turned her on more. She dove straight back in for more.
Tyler welcomed her, opened to her and let her inside. Her heart raced with lust and passion and something very scary for only three days acquaintance. It wasn't until she heard Callum's laughing voice that she remembered why she tried to pull back earlier. She had heard his pick up coming back.
"Hey sis, never took you as the submissive one" he called and Olivia shot off her like a rocket and turned her back, fumbling with her shirt buttons which had somehow slipped loose. Tyler wished she'd known that, she would have paid what they revealed particular attention. She loved that Olivia had larger breast, she was a breast woman. Sitting up and resting back on her hands, unmindful her own shirt was hanging loose as she wore an undershirt, she shot her brother a glare.
"What do you want Cal?" she growled and he laughed despite Sarah yelling at him to behave
"Ma was trying to get you on the radio. She sent me back when she couldn't raise you" he hooted "She's gonna love the reason why"
"Fuck you" Tyler called back "What's so important?"
"Seems Olivia has a visitor from New York" Callum grinned as Olivia's head shot up and around
"What?"
"Yeah, someone called Alex"
"Alex is here?" Olivia's eyes went wide and Tyler didn't know if that bode well for them
"Yep, several bags of luggage, designer clothes and impractical shoes" Cal snorted "I'll see ya when you make it back. I'll tell them not to expect you any time soon" he chuckled as he put the pickup in gear and churned the dirt as he took off.
"Juvenile" Tyler yelled after him then turned her gaze to Olivia "You OK?" she asked noticing she was sitting there staring off into space. Olivia raised her head and offered up a weak smile
"I'm fine, just wondering what she is up to. Besides a few quick emails I haven't seen her since she left for Africa. Things were tense between us when she left"
"Oh" Tyler sat back to think about that, suddenly worried. She swallowed hard "Do you want me to take a step back?" she asked and watched Olivia's eyes become stricken and before she could move Olivia was in her lap and holding her tight.
"Listen to me and listen to me carefully. Alex is a friend" Olivia pulled back and cupped her face "Only a friend, I have never thought of Alex that way, or any other woman. Just you"
"Really?" Tyler asked, a rather pleased and proud smile spreading across her face
"Yes really" Olivia leant in "let me show you" she murmured and captured Tyler's lips in a gentle but passionate kiss.
Several minutes later when they came up for much needed air Tyler found herself once again on the ground, her work shirt and Liv's on the grass beside them as she stared up into beautiful large breasts barely kept in her undershirt
"What about Alex?"
"Fuck Alex, she can wait, I need to reassure my cowgirl" Olivia husked and Tyler froze beneath her
"Your cowgirl?" she croaked
"Mine" Olivia assured and started the assault all over again. Tyler felt her heart melt and went with the flow.
A half hour later they were driving back towards the house. When it came to the crunch they decided they didn't want their first time to be in haste, with the threat of someone else walking in on them. Nor did they want it to be on a picnic blanket in the middle of the day.
Tyler had lain beside her on her side, propped up with her head on a palm and gently running her fingers over the skin on Olivia's upper torso as she looked into caramel eyes and had told her
"I want to wine and dine you the first time, I want to take you to Helena or Great Falls, take you to dinner, take you to a show or dancing. I want it to be perfect"
Olivia had smiled gently and caught the wandering hand in her own, bringing it to her lips and kissing it gently before assuring
"That all sounds perfectly wonderful, but if you think I am waiting for you to organise time off before we can make love you are crazy" Tyler had chuckled "I will be in your bed tonight unless you kick me out"
"Now who's crazy?" Tyler had asked and they had chuckled together
"I still want that date though, as soon as you can arrange it" Olivia had warned
"I'll look into it tomorrow" Tyler had promised before bending and giving her a tender kiss "Now sort yourself out woman, you're far too tempting"
They'd quickly dressed, Olivia couldn't help but feel disappointed as Tyler covered her long lean muscled body, then she'd packed up their picnic and rug while Tyler grabbed the fishing equipment.
They held hands all the way back, taking joy in the simple things as the house and sheds came into view. Olivia could see a forest green SUV parked in front of the house and was definitely surprised Alex hadn't rented some sleek black BMW, she loved her BMWs.
She slid out of the cab and opened the last gate, waiting for Tyler to pull through before closing it expertly and climbing back into the cab and they headed for the house.
"So what are you going to say to Alex?" Tyler asked
"No idea, but I am sure she will have plenty to say to me, she's going to give me hell for wearing cowboy gear and will make sure everyone back home, especially Abbie, knows about it too"
Tyler chuckled, imaging it. The look was a lot different to the one she'd first seen Olivia in but by damn she liked it.
Alex was sitting with Judy, Hank and Tate, keeping them entertained with stories of her times in SVU, keeping the horrific detail to a minimum and ramping up the antics of the detectives when they heard a vehicle pull up.
Earlier Callum, Tyler's brother, had strolled in with a large cooler in hand and dumped it on the breakfast bar
"6 large trout. I'm looking forward to dinner tonight Tate. You gonna cook a grill?" he asked and Alex turned to Tate who had gotten up to look in the cool box and seemed to be contemplating it before nodding "Good" He then turned to her and introduced himself.
Alex had shook his hand and offered a smile before there was a car horn toot from outside
"Gotta get going, the Mrs is impatient, we kinda interrupted Tyler and Olivia and it's given her ideas" he chuckled then ducked his father's blow aimed at the back of his head "I wouldn't be expecting the other two anytime soon" he waved as he hurried out the door.
Judy yelled after him he better find his manners by tonight or not to bother coming down. Judy had continued to grumble that she'd raised a pack of hooligans despite her best efforts and shot poor Hank a dirty look. Alex had remembered the byplay between Munch and Fin and had started in on a story to break the ice.
Now on hearing the vehicle Judy stood and walked to the kitchen window to glance out
"It's Olivia and Tyler" she confirmed what they all suspected and then hurried over to turn on the kettle to make more coffee. If Alex was staying any amount of time she was buying them a decent coffee machine as a thank you.
She heard car doors slam and then some laughter. She had no idea why she did it but she reached for Tate's hand, needing the support if Olivia decided she didn't want her here. Tate rose a surprised brow but was quite happy to offer any support she needed.
They heard the side door slam, the clunk of boots being removed and then footsteps until Olivia was standing in the doorway with a taller woman who reminded her of someone but she couldn't quite put her finger on who yet. She noticed three things about Liv straight off,
1. She was holding Tyler's hand proudly
2. She was sporting a hickee the size of a golf ball below her left ear and
3. She was dressed head to toe in western gear
She broke out in a broad smile
"Well howdy cowgal" she drawled and heard Liv groan and mutter something like 'I told you so' at Tyler and laughed "I can't wait to tell Abbie"
"Shut it Cabot" Olivia grinned
"Make me Benson" Alex laughed and letting go of Tate's hand stood and opened her arms "Hi"
Olivia broke free of Tyler and walked over to enfold her friend in a large bear hug. She felt a weight lift off her shoulders. A weight she had felt since Alex had flown to Africa.
"You better be back from Africa for good Lex, my heart can't take worrying about you all the time" she murmured and Alex confirmed it with a nod. She hadn't resigned from the organisation but had taken on more of a researcher's role which meant she could work from home, or anywhere really as long as she had access to the internet.
"Research, and occasionally attending fundraisers" Alex confirmed
"Thank God" they pulled back and grinned at each other before Olivia glared at Alex "Don't think you're out of the woods, you have some serious explaining to do"
"I know, now's not the time though" Alex smiled and then turned to Tate who was watching and offered her hand. Tate rose from her chair and took the hand as she came forward "Olivia this is Tate Chandler, she's the cook here. I met her at the airport today and we remembered each other from my WITSEC years" Alex offered Tate a smile "I was her teacher and she was a not particularly good student"
"Hello" Tate nodded then looked at Tyler who approached "Hey Tyler"
"Tate, Good to see you back, the hands have been complaining about your fill in" Tyler told her and Tate grinned
"Guess tonight's meal better be extra special" she looked at her watch, "I better go check and see what's left in the cool room" she gave Alex a look "See you later?"
"I'll be there" Alex squeezed her hand and let it go as she watched Tate retrieve the large ice box and make her way out of the house, Hank hurrying with her to open the doors. She turned back to Olivia to see an eyebrow raised "What?"
"Tate?" Olivia asked
"What?" Alex was startled
"Lex I've see that look, it means you're the predator and they're the prey" Olivia chuckled "Never expected to see it directed at Tate though"
"I have no idea what you're talking about" Alex quipped and turned to Tyler. Straight away she remembered who she reminded her of "My God it's Xena"
"Excuse me?" Tyler blinked and swapped confused looks with Olivia
"You look like Xena" Alex said and Olivia took a moment to study her ...girlfriend? She had to admit Alex was right, Tyler did look like a lean version of the cult hero
"Hmm I was always partial to Xena" she admitted and Tyler glared at her before waggling her brows and grinning "Maybe I'll break out the whip tonight"
"Tyler!" Judy and Olivia cried together
"Alex and I don't need to know about your bedroom antics" Judy continued and Alex laughed as Olivia flushed
"Oh she won't be getting any bedroom antics if she doesn't keep her mouth shut" Olivia grumbled which wiped the smile off Tyler's face and she shot her a slightly panicked look. Olivia grinned and patted her cheek "You have the rest of the day to earn brownie points. Right now I'm going to speak with Lex"
"Fine" Tyler grumbled "I'll go see if Tate needs a hand" and turned to mope off. Olivia grinned and taking her hand spun her around before going up on tip toe to kiss her cheek
"See you later hot stuff" she whispered in her ear which earned a wink before Tyler swaggered off. Olivia turned to look at Alex who was watching her with sparkling eyes
"Who are you and what have you done to Olivia Benson?" Alex asked, which was a really good question.
