Sorry for the delay in the updates but I have been busy with work and my volunteer work with the kids. Plus it was my birthday this week so I was kinda busy partying lol. Hope you all enjoy this update. No Cassidy bashing in this one unfortunately.

Chapter 8

Elliot held Olivia tightly to him her body shaking.

"You okay?" he asked her. She pushed back and looked up at him.

"Yeah I'm fine; I just can't believe how much of a prick he is being."

"Well I always thought he was a prick, so it isn't for me. How's your hand, that was one hell of a punch," he grinned at her.

"I could use some painkillers, its throbbing a bit but it was worth it."

Elliot led her over to the couch and sat her down "I will put some clothes on and grab your meds," he told her before walking off. He came back out wearing a pair of sweats and that was it. Olivia watched him as he moved into the kitchen and got her a bottle of water from the fridge.

"You've lost weight," she said to him as he came back to her and handed her the water and meds before sitting down next to her. She put the tablets in her mouth and washed them down with the water. "And toned up," she told him looking over his body.

"When I stopped drinking and moved out I needed something else to do, so I worked out. I became a bit of a gym junky for a while…. Not so much now, but I still work out mostly at the boxing gym, get to take out my frustration out in the ring and on the punch bags."

"You look good," she said to him as she ran her finger over his toned chest and abs and down to the waist band of his sweats. "Maybe when I recover and I get this cast off we could work out together."

"Yeah that would be good," said Elliot his breath catching as he watched Olivia's eyes roam over his body as she bit her bottom lip. He tried to concentrate on anything else but the touch of her finger as she moved it along the top of the waistline of his sweats and over his stomach.

"God what is wrong with me" Olivia thought to herself as she looked up and down Elliot's body. "How can you want someone so much after what you have been through…..? but Jesus I want him so bad" She thought back to earlier the way he kissed every burn and wound on her body before he had made her cum, he had been so gentle and caring, he made her feel so special. He knew exactly what she needed. She moved her hand back up over his chest and raised her head so she was looking at his face, his eyes, as she cupped his cheek with her good hand.

"God, I love you," she whispered as he dropped his forehead to hers.

"I love you to," he whispered back. "I'm just sorry it took this to happen, for me to admit it. I have been such an idiot."

"You're not the only," she said quietly their lips brushing together as they talked; she felt his fingers brush through her hair, sending shivers down her body. "El….."

"Yeah…" he said swallowing hard.

"How long will the Chinese be?" she asked brushing her lips against his and kissing him lightly.

"Another couple of hours," he told her his tongue running along her bottom lip tasting her. "Why you hungry?"

"No not really….." she breathed into his mouth. "Just wondered how long we had."

"Oh…. Okay," he said as his lips met hers again a little harder this time as he bit her bottom lip and sucked on it gently.

"El…"

"Hmmmmmm"

"Make love to me," she whispered into his mouth. "Make me feel safe."

Elliot pulled her head to him and kissed her hard "Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you after everything you have been through."

She nodded her head "I have never been more sure of anything in my life. I know I can trust you to stop if I need you to and I know you would never hurt me….. Ever." She crashed her lips against his and raised herself from the couch and straddled Elliot's legs pushing his back against the back of the couch.

"If at any time, you feel unsure or if I hurt you in anyway tell me stop no matter what," he told her as his hands slipped under her t-shirt.

"I will," she told him bending forward and kissing his neck, licking and sucking it gently. She felt his hands slip inside the shorts she was wearing and her panties and grip her ass cheeks pulling her closer to him.

"Let's move this to the bedroom," he said his voice deep and low. "I'm not making love to you for the first time on the couch; I want to do this properly." He moved forward and with no effort at all he stood up with Olivia in his arms, she wrapped her legs around his waist.

"The gym time has definitely paid off," she smiled at him, before kissing him hard as he began to slowly move towards the bedroom never breaking from the kiss…..

BANG BANG BANG

"You gotta be shitting me," said Elliot his head turning towards the door. "If that's Cassidy again I swear to god I will kill him this time," he said as there was another knock on the door. He lowered Olivia to the floor "Don't move," he said to her kissing the tip of her nose and went to the door opening it.

"Where is she?" asked Casey pushing past him not waiting for an invite to come in. She saw Olivia and ran to her pulling her into a hug, Olivia hugged her back. Elliot closed the door and leaned back against it. He smiled as he watched them holding each other.

"I came as soon as I could," sobbed Casey as she held her friend. "I tried to call, but it went to answer phone, then I was on the plane and couldn't call. Then I tried again, when I got no answer again, I called Brian. He just mumbled something about she doesn't need me anymore, not now that fucking bastard is back. So I called Fin and got Stablers address." She said leaving loose of Olivia and looking her up and down gently touching the bruises on her face.

Elliot raised an eyebrow "You called Fin and asked for my address after Brian said she was with that fucking bastard."

Casey turned to face Elliot "Well yeah, it kind of made sense. I mean who else would she be with." She turned back to Olivia and took hold of her hands. "How are you doing?" she asked her. "I only know what happened from what I have been told by Fin when he called me to tell me you were missing, and what I read on the net."

"Why don't we sit down and I will explain everything the best I can," said Olivia taking hold of Casey's hand and leading her to the couch.

"Will the explanation also include what you're doing with a semi naked Stabler in his apartment, when you haven't seen each other for three years."

"Yeah it will," smiled Olivia looking over at Elliot.

"I'll put the little on," said Elliot going into the kitchen and leaving them to talk. He knew Olivia would tell Casey everything and it didn't worry him. He knew she needed someone else to lean on apart from him. He quickly made the coffee and took it in to them. Olivia stopped talking as he came in and put the cups down on the coffee table.

"I'm gonna go and call Lizzy," he told her. "I still haven't spoke to her properly after the other day, it will give you time to talk."

Olivia smiled up at him "Thank you," she said taking hold of his hand and pulling him down to her and kissing him softly on the lips. "I still want to… you know" she whispered to him.

"Yeah me to," he whispered back. "We have plenty of time Baby," he said kissing her again before pulling away and going into his bedroom and closing the door, Olivia watched him leave until he was out of sight then turned back to Casey. Casey was sat with a confused grin on her face.

"What the hell was that?" she asked Olivia.

"The one good thing to come out of everything that has happened," she took a deep breath and looked at her friend. "Look Casey what happened to me….. I … it's ….. It's hard to talk about. But I want to tell you, I need to be able to just talk to someone who wasn't there, who wasn't involved." She wiped away the tears that were already in her eyes. "God I promised myself no more crying," she said taking a deep breath. "I don't know where to start…."

Casey took hold of her hand "Just start from the beginning, and take as long as you need I'm not going anywhere."

Olivia nodded "I need you to promise me that what I tell you won't leave this room."

"Jesus Olivia, what the hell has happened?"

"I need you to promise Casey."

"Yeah okay I promise," she said looking at her friend worried about what she was going to hear.

Xxxxxxxxx

"Hey sweetheart," said Elliot when Lizzy picked up the phone.

"Hi Daddy….. How's Olivia?"

"She is doing good, real good considering what she went through….. Did your Mom speak to you?"

"Yeah…. I'm sorry I told her, I know you asked me not to tell anyone but…."

"No Lizzy, its fine. I should never have asked you to do that, it was wrong of me. I just panicked there for a little while. It's okay now though your Mom will answer any questions if people come asking, okay."

"Yeah okay…. I thought you would be mad at me," she said and he could hear the slight hitch in her voice as she tried no to cry.

"I could never be mad at you Honey, never. Your my Baby girl." He heard her sniff and it broke his heart that he had done this to her, putting her under so much pressure.

"Daddy was Olivia hurt really bad?"

"She was," he said not wanting to lie to her. "But she will be okay, I promise you. The man who took her is dead so he can't hurt anyone else. And Olivia is staying with me for a while so I can help her and be there for her."

"Did you kill him?"

Elliot went quiet for a while "No sweetheart, Olivia did, he was going to shoot me, and before he had the chance Olivia shot him."

Lizzy smiled to herself "Always there to look out for each huh," she said.

"Yeah I guess so," Elliot said also smiling. "Listen, I have Eli this weekend why don't you come over as well and see Olivia, I'm sure she would love that." He knew if she saw Olivia was okay and healing it would make her feel better.

"You don't think she would mind?"

"I know she wouldn't, we could order pizza and watch a movie or something."

"Sounds great Daddy." Elliot could hear the change in her voice as the worry started to slip away.

"Okay, well I will see you Friday when I pick you up."

"Okay…and Daddy give Olivia a hug from me."

"I will, I love you."

"Love you to," he said hanging up the phone and collapsing back on the bed and closing his eyes. Before he knew it he was fast asleep.

Xxxxxxx

Olivia took a deep breath and wiped away the tears as she looked at Casey who was just sat holding her hand. She hadn't said much as Olivia told her everything from being taken, to calling Elliot, what had happened in the house and finally the cover up.

"Jesus Liv," she finally said.

"So now you know why I can't have you telling anyone. I can't risk losing Elliot over this. I can't lose him again…. I need him more than I ever thought possible."

Casey smiled at her "It's good to finally hear you say that, all those years of waiting for the two of you to admit your feelings…. Of course I won't say anything Liv, that bastard got what he deserved, in fact he got off lightly."

"Thank you," smiled Olivia.

"What about Cassidy, you think he will tell anyone?"

Olivia shrugged her shoulders "I don't know. If he does it will just look like he has lost the plot, it's his word against everyone else's, and they would have to find some proof."

They sat in silence for a while as Casey took everything in everything Olivia had said.

"So," she said wiggling her eyebrows. "You and Stabler?"

Olivia smiled and dropped her head back onto the back of the couch. "He has been amazing; from the moment I called him. It's like we were never apart. He explained why he never got in touch; we have talked so much in the last couple of days about everything."

"Only talking?" asked Casey grinning. Olivia went red slightly.

"Well we've kissed and stuffed. He is so gentle with me, Case and caring. He makes me feel so special and loved; I have never had that before it just feels so right. He keeps telling me how gorgeous I am despite looking like I have gone ten rounds with a boxer, he won't let me do anything for myself. Just before he dressed all my wounds after I had been in the bath, he kissed every one of them, before he…"

"Before he what?" asked Casey bringing Olivia out of her day dream.

"Sorry…..?"

"Before he what," laughed Casey.

"Erm before he….well he kind of made his way down my body kissing me and then he, you know with his mouth. It was so different to all those other times, he was doing it because he loved me not because he wanted anything from me, he just wanted to pleasure me and make me feel wanted and safe….. I have never had that with anyone."

"That's because you were always waiting for him, he has always been the one Olivia, and we all knew that. And the last few days have proved it. When you needed him most he came to you Liv, without any questions. He didn't care about himself and what could happen all he cared about was you. It has always been that way."

Olivia smiled at her friend and wiped her eyes. "God I feel a mess all I have done for the last few days is cry," she said laughing. There was a knock on the door and she got up from the couch to answer it. "It must be the Chinese El ordered," she said.

She paid the delivery man and put the bags down on the kitchen counter.

"You gonna stay for some food?" she asked Casey. "There is plenty."

"Nah, I'm gonna go and leave you guys alone. I just had to know you were okay," she said standing up. "I will call you in a couple of days and we could maybe meet up when you're feeling a bit better."

Olivia nodded and hugged Casey "Thank you for coming."

"How could I not, you're the best friend I have. I couldn't stay in Europe." she said hugging her close.

"You leaving," asked Elliot from behind them, they both turned and saw him standing there still in just sweat pants rubbing his eyes after he had just woke up after hearing the knocking on the door.

"Yeah I need to check into a hotel," she said to him. "And buy some clothes I didn't bring anything with me, I just bought a ticket and jumped on the plane."

"You can stay here if you want, I have enough rooms, I'm sure Liv would love to have you around."

"No its fine really, I'm sure you two need a bit of time alone." She walked up to Elliot and hugged him. She felt his arms wrap around her. "Look after her," she whispered into his ear.

"I will I promise, and thank you for coming, it was just what she needed," he said letting her go and kissing her on the cheek. Casey nodded and walked to the door.

"I will call you," she said kissing Olivia on the cheek and whispering something to her before she left and walked out the door, making Olivia chuckle.

Elliot walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist and lay his head on her shoulder. "What did she whisper?" he asked kissing the side of her neck.

"I'll tell you later, let's eat I'm starving…. For the first time in days I am actually hungry."

Xxxxxxxxxxx

"I couldn't eat another bite," said Olivia lying back against the couch.

"Yep I know that feeling," said Elliot lying flat on the floor. "It's been a while since I have eaten that much," he told her closing his eyes and putting his hands behind his head. "So did you and Casey have a good talk?" he asked her opening his eyes and looking up at her.

"Yeah we did. It was good to talk to someone who wasn't involved in any way. I'm definitely going to see a therapist, I think it will be good for me."

"That's great baby," he said reaching over and resting his hand on her leg.

"It could be a good idea for you to talk to someone as well, El." Elliot opened one eye and looked at her. "What happened in that house affects us both."

"What am I supposed to say to him Liv. I tortured a guy who hurt the woman I love." He raised himself up and his elbows and looked up at her. "I know what I did in that house and I don't have any regrets, I would do it again in a blink of an eye."

"But El…."

"But El nothing, I can't and won't go and see a shrink about what happened." He sat up and dropped his head between his raised knees. Olivia crawled across the floor towards him and sat in front of him and took hold of his hands.

"Okay, but if you need to talk about it then talk to me, don't keep it bottled up inside…. Promise me that."

Elliot lifted his head and turned to her "I promise you, I won't hide anything from you," he leant forward and kissed her lips, softly at first then turning more passionate. He moved forward and pushed Olivia down to the floor and moved to her side resting his hand on her hip, he pushed her t-shirt up slightly and lightly moved his fingers over her stomach, and he felt her shudder at his touch. He pulled away from the kiss and looked at her.

"You sure about this, we don't need to go any further," he said to her. "I don't want you to feel like you need to."

"I know you don't El, I know you would wait for me, but I am ready," she pushed Elliot onto his back and got to her knees straddling him sitting on his crotch. "I want you to make love to me." Elliot watched her as she took hold of her t-shirt and slowly pulled it up over her head and held it over her chest. Elliot reached up and took hold of the t-shirt, he pulled it out of her hands and threw it across the room.

"Don't hide yourself Liv, not from me. I don't care about the marks he left on you or the bruises," he told her running his hands over her chest and stomach. "You will always be gorgeous to me." he pushed himself up and cupped one breast in his hand as he moved his mouth to the other taking her nipple in his mouth and gently sucked on the small bud into his mouth, whilst gently squeezing the other between his finger and thumb, being careful no tot touch any burns or cuts. Olivia ran her fingers through his short hair and bit her bottom lip as he gently suckled on her breasts moving from one to the other. Moaning as he did. Olivia felt him growing hard, his erection pushing up against her. She felt her panties getting wet at the feel of him pushing against her.

"El," she moaned.

"Mmmmm" he replied his mouth never leaving.

"We need to stop," she told him. "We can't…"

Before she could finish speaking Elliot stopped what he was doing and moved his mouth and hands away from her.

"God, I'm so sorry Liv did I hurt you, I didn't mean to, I was trying to be gentle." He said looking shocked and worried as Olivia climbed off him and stood up. She reached out for his hand.

"Come on," she said as he took her hand and she pulled him to his feet. "I only meant we had to stop till we got to the bedroom, as you said earlier the first time we make love should be in bed not on the floor or the couch."

"You mean, you still want to."

"God more than anything Baby."

Elliot smiled and cupped her face "I thought I had hurt you," he said to her. "I never want to hurt you."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like that. I trust you so much Elliot I know you would never mean to hurt me." She crashed her lips against his kissing him hard. "Now take me to bed," she grinned at him. Keeping hold of her hand Elliot led her into the bedroom and closed the door behind them.

He led her to the bed and reached down to turn on the bedside light and stood in front of her. He rest his hand on her hips.

"Liv are you…" she silenced him with her lips before he could as her again if she was sure.

"I have wanted to make love to you since the day I met you Elliot Stabler, I have never been more sure of anything in my life."

"Well when you put it like that," he smiled pulling her towards him and kissing her. He walked her backwards until the back of her legs were stopped by the bed and she fell back against the sitting down. She pushed her self-back onto the bed as Elliot knelt down between her legs. He took hold of her shorts and pulled them slowly down her legs leaving her in only her panties. As he dropped them to the floor he picked up her foot and kissed it, he began to place small kisses up her leg as he made his way back up to her panties. He kissed her pussy over the top of her panties taking in her scent.

"God you smell so good," he told her as he bit her gently though the fabric, before taking hold of them and pulling them down her legs and throwing them down next to her shorts. He then kissed her other foot moving his way back up to her now bare pussy. Olivia opened her legs slightly for him and he licked the full length of her making her moan.

"I love the taste of you baby," he said dipping his tongue inside her warm moist opening lapping at her juices. He felt her move against his mouth trying to get more of his tongue. He pulled away and kissed her mound and pushed himself up off his knees and bent over her his hands either side of her head and dropped his head kissing her letting her taste herself on his lips.

"Move back on to the bed," he told her. He stood up right and watched her as she pushed herself back so she was fully on the bed. "I will never get tired at looking at you," he said as his eyes roamed over her body.

"Yeah well I'm sure it will look a better when the wounds are gone."

"You know what baby, I don't even see them, I just see a gorgeous woman, with a gorgeous body, that I love so much."

"El don't, I promised myself I wasn't going to cry," she said wiping the tears away. "You know this is a bit unfair, you are definitely over dressed," she told him her eyes looking at his sweats. He kept his eyes on her as he pushed them down and stepped out of them. Olivia raised herself up onto her elbows and let her eyes roam over his body, licking her lips.

"Very nice," she said biting her bottom lip. She knew he must be quite large when she had felt him inside his sweats pushing against her. But standing here in front of her still not fully hard, she now realised how large he actually was. Elliot shook his head and climbed onto the bed and lay next to her. He ran his fingers over her body and stopped at her breasts circling her nipple with his finger as his mouth found hers and he began to massage her breast. He felt her reach down with her good hand and stroke the length of his hardening cock making him shudder. It had been so long since anyone touched him. He gasped into her mouth as she took hold of him and began to stroke him slowly. He pulled his mouth away and looked down at her as his hand slipped between her legs and his fingers slipped between her folds.

"Jesus baby," he groaned as he felt how wet she was already. He rubbed his thumb over her clit as he crashed his mouth against hers again and he felt her hand gripping him harder, as his tongue battled with hers. She gasped into his mouth as she felt one of his fingers slip inside her.

"Mmmmmm that feels so good, baby," she told him as pushed his finger deep inside her and he slipped a second one in to join it. He moved them both slowly in and out of her, her juices coating his fingers.

Olivia's thumb moved over the tip of his cock she felt his pre cum and spread it around as she went back to gripping him and stroking him feeling him getting harder and bigger in her hand.

"Liv…..I need to get a condom out the draw," he told her.

"Why?" she gasped looking up at him.

"Don't you want me to wear one?"

"No, I want nothing between us, nothing at all. When you come I want it to be inside me baby, I want to feel you."

Elliot removed his fingers slowly from her and moved between her legs. He bent his head and took her nipple into his mouth and sucked and licked it. Olivia arched her back and pushed her hips up to him feeling the tip of his cock pushing against her.

"Please El… I need you," she begged him. He lifted his head and looked down at her as he reached between their bodies and took his solid cock into his hand and lined it up with her hot wet opening.

"I dreamt about this moment so many times," he told her as he pushed gently into her.

"Oh god," she gasped as she felt him pushing into her. "Slowly Baby, take it slow," she asked him.

"You okay, I'm not hurting you am I?" he asked as he stopped pushing.

"No, you're just a little bigger than what I'm used to."

"Oh yeah," he smirked as he pushed fully into her. "That's good to know."

Olivia rolled her eyes and shook her head smiling as he began to move inside her slowly at first, he dropped his head to her shoulder as he picked up the pace, pushing deep inside her before pulling almost all the way out. Olivia pushed up to meet each thrust to get him as deep as possible, feeling each stroke.

"Faster baby, you don't need to be so gentle with me."

"You sure," he panted. "What about your ribs and wounds."

"I'm fine El, I promise… please….."

Elliot raised himself up slightly for a better angle and thrust into her faster and harder. He could feel her inner walls gripping him each time he pushed into her.

"Jesus Liv," he grunted as she wrapped her legs around him pulling him to her. "That feels so good." He knew he was getting close to coming but didn't want to before Olivia. He reached between them and reached down with his hand and began to rub her clit.

"Fuck El," she gasped as she reached up and cupped his face forcing him to look at her. "So….fucking ….close."

"Just let go Liv…. I'm right behind you, I'm so close." He felt drops of sweat roll down his body mixing with Olivia's. He felt her grip him tight squeezing him tight around his throbbing cock as she came, her body convulsing as the orgasm ripped through her and she wrapped her legs tight around Elliot. The feel and sight of Olivia coming was all it took for Elliot and he released inside her. She felt his hot seed coating her walls mixing with her own juices. His cock throbbed and his body began to shake as he felt his release. He crashed his lips against her before dropping his head into the crook of her neck, as he tried to control his breathing.

Still buried deep inside her he lifted his head and looked at her. He pushed her sweat soaked hair from her face and smiled at her.

"You okay?" he asked her still struggling to talk and breath.

"Never felt better," she smiled back at him. She ran her good hand up and down his back her nails gently scratching his back. He shuddered at her touch.

"Your amazing, do you know that," he whispered to her. "I have never felt like this about anyone else before. What we have is so…..intense, I don't how else to explain it. The way I feel about is unlike anything I have ever felt before." Olivia reached up and wiped away the tear that rolled down his cheek as he looked at her.

"Hey, I'm the one who does the crying," she smiled as tears ran down her face.

"Sorry," he said wiping his eyes. "I don't know what's wrong with me."

"It's okay baby, I guess it's everything that has happened over the last few days, all the different emotions, it was bound to happen sooner or later."

"Yeah," he said dropping his head back onto her shoulder as she wrapped her arms around him. "I'm not too heavy on you, am I?" he asked as she continued to run her fingers up and down his back. "Do you want me to move?"

"No stay right where are you, I'll let you know if I need you to move."

"Okay," he said closing his eyes and kissing her neck softly. "I love you Benson." He said yawning.

"Love you to Stabler," she whispered back. "Always have, always will." She said closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Next up a weekend with Lizzy and Eli for a bit of family time. Don't forget to keep the reviews coming. Plus any ideas if there is something you would like me to add into the story if I can.
