Chapter 16

Olivia smiled keeping her eyes closed against the sunlight coming in through the window as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her back against him, his lips gently kissing her shoulder.

"Morning," he whispered his voice still full of sleep.

"Morning," she whispered back, moving her arm back and laying her hand on his ass cheeks.

"You hungry?" he asked her.

"Starving, as we didn't eat anything last night."

"Speak for yourself, I ate really well," he smirked earning himself a dig in the ribs from her elbow.

"God I forgot how much of Dick you can be at times," she laughed.

"How can you even say that," he laughed. "I was only ever a Dick to the guys you were dating when I was jealous. ….. Especially Porter, god I hated that guy."

"Really I would never have guessed," she chuckled.

"Yeah well he followed you around like a lost puppy, plus he took you away from me…..also he….." Elliot went quiet not finishing what he was going to say.

"Also what El?"

"It doesn't matter, just forget it," he said lying his head back down on the pillow. Olivia turned around and faced him their noses almost touching.

"What's wrong?" she asked him.

"Really it's nothing," he said smiling. "What you wanting for breakfast?"

"Don't do this El, what's wrong and what were you going to say."

Elliot blinked and looked down not meeting her eyes "He was with you, when I wanted to be. He got to be with you when you went to Oregon, and that was my fault because I was being such a prick and chased you there."

Olivia smiled and lifted his chin up "Look at me El, "she told him. He opened his eyes and looked at her. "One you never chased me to Oregon, I went because my I was scared of my feelings towards you so you didn't chase me. Two, he was never with me in Oregon; the only person I thought about and wanted to be with when I was there was you. And three he never…. Had my as you put it."

Elliot smiled "What you guys never?"

"No we never. We slept in the same bed after a make out session but we never had sex… Plus after calling out your name in one of my dreams it kinda put a damper on the relationship."

Elliot's grin got even bigger "You called out my name, when you were in bed with Porter," he chuckled. Olivia shook her head.

"God I should never had told you as though your ego wasn't big enough."

"Yeah well come on," he said rolling her onto her back and climbing on top of her pushing her legs apart. "Calling my name out in your sleep, of course it's going to boost my ego," he reached down between them and guided himself into her, sliding the full way in. "Jesus Baby it feels like the first time every time I'm inside you, it feels amazing, you feel amazing," he told her as he began to push slowly and deeply inside her.

Olivia wrapped her legs around his back pulling him closer to her as she pushed up to meet his thrusts "Got to say though….. The reality is a lot better than the dreams I used to have," she told him as he buried his face into her neck and gently sucked on her neck. "So much better," she sighed.

Elliot came up from under the water and rested on the side of the pool catching his breath as he looked up at Olivia.

"You off somewhere?" he asked her.

"Yeah I need to go into town."

"Well give me 10 minutes I will get changed and take you."

"No its fine. I called Mrs Charles to ask her for a cab number, but she said she was going to town herself so she giving me a lift."

"Mrs Charles?"

"The old lady who let us in."

"Oh right ….. So you don't need me?" he said looking upset.

"Nope," she smiled kneeling down by the pool and kissing him softly. "I need to go to town alone; there are a few things I need to get. But I was thinking when I'm gone why don't you sort the BBQ and Jacuzzi out, we haven't used them yet….. And I'm itching to try out the Jacuzzi," she winked at him. "I shouldn't be too long," she said waving and walking away from him. Elliot watched her walking away and licked his lips as he looked at her ass.

"Quit staring Stabler," she shouted as walked out the garden smiling to herself.

Elliot spent the rest of his time alone swimming and lying by the pool. He had just finished sorting the Jacuzzi out and setting up the BBQ when Olivia walked back in later that afternoon.

"Hey," he said smiling and leaning in for a kiss as he put his coffee cup in the sink. "You have a nice day."

"I did," she said wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I missed you," he said against her neck.

"I missed you to," she moaned as he nipped at her neck.

"So what was so important that you had to leave me all alone for the day?"

"Now that would be telling," she said pulling back and smiling. "I'm gonna get changed, why don't you go and get the food started I'm starving," she told him walking away towards the bedroom with the bags she had come back with.

They were sat on the sun loungers relaxing after their food as the sun went down. Elliot stood up and grabbed the plates form the table, Olivia watched him as he walked back into the kitchen. He had only worn a pair of swim shorts all day. As he got to the sliding doors of the kitchen he stopped.

"Quit staring Benson," he grinned as he repeated her words from earlier that day.

"I can't help it your ass is just Mmmmm Mmmmm." Elliot wiggled his ass as he walked into the kitchen making Olivia laugh. She lay her head back against the loungers and closed her eyes. They had both learnt so much more about each other over the last few days. Stuff they never talked about as partners which had made her fall in love with him even more than she ever felt possible.

Elliot flicked the switch to warm the Jacuzzi as he cleaned up the dishes and mess he had made earlier when preparing the food. He looked out and smiled as he watched Olivia lying with her eyes closed. This trip away had been perfect, she had totally relaxed from the moment she climbed onto the back of the bike. He had never seen her so relaxed. Even years ago when they were partners she never relaxed like this. She was either stressed with a case, upset because of victim or pissed off cause of a perp. She never had any time for herself. Since her attack it was like she had a new take on life, not once had she mentioned work or victims, for once she was looking after herself. She was relaxed and happy; despite everything Lewis put her though she seemed happy. He finished tidying up and walked back outside crouching down beside her.

"Hey," he said pushing a loose strand of hair out of her face. She opened her eyes and smiled up at him.

"Hey, how long was I asleep?"

"Not long."

"God I'm sorry, I'm just so tired."

"You don't need to apologise it's been a busy few days. Why don't we soak in the Jacuzzi for a while and get an early night?"

"Sounds perfect," she said taking his hand as he helped her up. He helped her put the cover over her cast and led her to the side of the Jacuzzi. He started to undo her shirt and dropped it to the floor, and pushed down her shorts as she stepped out of them. Elliot licked his lips as he realised she was naked under clothes. "I hope I'm not the only one going in naked?" she asked as she climbed the couple of steps and stepped in to the hot bubbling water and sank down onto the seat facing Elliot.

Elliot kept his eyes on her as he pushed down his shorts down and stepped out of them. She shook her head and bit her lip.

"What?" he asked her.

She looked down at his erect dick and grinned.

"I can't help it," he laughed climbing in the water with her and sitting opposite her. "I see you naked and bang, it just happens. Or your kiss and the slightest touch have the same effect."

"Really," she smiled.

"Really," he grinned back.

They sat in silence for a few minutes.

"Liv, I've been wondering. How long you going to stay off work for?"

Olivia shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know…. I don't know if I even want to go back."

"Liv you love your job, it's what you live for."

"Yeah well things change, I change," she said looking over at him. Elliot sat quietly looking over at her. "Things have been changing for years. It started back with Gitano, then Sealview. You left me because the job got too hard; I mean I thought about leaving then."

"You did?"

She nodded "I didn't feel right doing the job without you, it was like something was missing, and my heart wasn't in it. I lost something for a while."

"So why did you stay, if your heart wasn't in it why not leave?"

"At first I hoped you would come back. Then when I realised you weren't I just threw myself into it, to try and forget you. I just worked and worked. I had nothing else to do, it's all I knew, helping victims I had nothing else in my life anymore."

"And now?"

"Now I have you back in my life. The last two weeks with you have been amazing. And I have realised there is more to life than Special Victims, I want more."

"And you think you can do that….. leave the job; let someone else be there for the victims."

"Yeah I do. I can always find something else to do to help them. There are other things I can do." She looked away from Elliot looking down into the water. "I am running out of lives El. First Sealview then Lewis…." She looked up at him tears in her eyes. Elliot moved across and knelt in front of her in the water cupping her face. "What if the next time I'm not strong enough and I … I get raped. How many times before it finally happens if I keep doing this job."

Elliot wrapped his arms around her and held her tight.

"Liv, you can't think that way sweetheart…"

"Yeah I can El. I have never had anything good in my life, but I do now. I'm not putting that at risk. I'm not putting the job first anymore, its time I looked after myself instead of putting myself in constant danger."

Elliot nodded and smiled "I will stand by you no matter what you decide, you know that."

"Yeah I know."

"Just don't rush into anything to quick. What's just happened is still raw. Take some more time off, give yourself time to heal and really think about what you want. I will be here whatever you finally decide."

"You're amazing do you know that?"

"Oh I have my moments," he grinned leaning in to kiss her.

"You certainly do," she said kissing him back.

Elliot put his hands under her ass cheeks and lifted her up and walked back to the other side of the Jacuzzi and sat down with Olivia straddling his legs his hard cock pressing up against her stomach.

"All I want is for you to be happy Liv, happy and safe."

"I am happy, I never thought I would be, but I am." She reached into the water with her good hand and took hold of his cock and began to stroke him under the water. "You make me happy El, from the moment you came back into my life. You made me whole again and I never want this feeling to stop."

"It…. it won't baby, I….. I promise you," he bent his head forward and took one of her nipples into his mouth and began to suck as she continued to stroke his full length making him harder with each stroke.

"El…." She said removing her hand from him.

"Hmmm," he mumbled.

"Can we go inside now?"

He lifted his head up "You okay?"

"Yeah, I just want to go in, maybe sit watch a bit of TV or a DVD."

"Sure," he said a little disappointed she had stopped what they were doing. She climbed off him and out the water picking up a towel and drying herself. Elliot got out and wrapped the towel around his waist as Olivia wrapped her towel around herself and walked into the house with Elliot following.

"You want a beer?" she asked him as he followed her in.

"Sure," he said sitting on the couch and turning on the TV. Olivia sat next to him handing him a beer. Elliot looked over at her. "Liv did I do something wrong?" he asked her a worried look on his face.

"No. Why?"

"It's just in the water just now. When you stopped what we were doing."

"I just wanted to come inside, get comfortable and watch a bit of TV before bed," she reached up and pulled his head down kissing him. "You have done nothing wrong I swear to you."

"Okay," he said as he lay back and put his arm around her as they watched TV.

Olivia snuggled in to his chest and wrapped her arm around his waist as they watched the TV. Elliot finished his beer and put his empty bottle down. He ran his fingers through Olivia's hair and started playing with it twisting it through his fingers as they both lay in silence.

Olivia turned her head slightly and kissed his chest as she ran her hand lazily up and down his chest and stomach. Elliot bit his bottom lip holding in a moan as she took his nipple in her mouth and began to suck flicking her tongue over it. Elliot felt his cock twitch under his towel and a little moan escaped his lips.

"You okay baby?" she asked him.

"Huh huh," he mumbled as she moved and lifted her leg so she was straddling him as she continued to kiss and lick his chest. She made her way slowly down gently kissing, licking and sucking as she dropped between his legs kissing her way down to the top of his towel.

Elliot looked down and watched her as she pulled at the towel and let it fall away from him, his erect cock level with her face.

"Liv…." He said his voice just above a whisper. "You…."

She put her finger to his lips to silence him as she licked her lips. "Don't talk," she told him as she took hold of him in her hand and began to stroke him. She looked up at him and met his eyes. "I love you," she told him as she bent her head and kissed the tip of him making him twitch. She took a deep breath as she took him in her mouth swirling her tongue over his tip.

Elliot let out a shaky breath as he watched her take him in her mouth her tongue flicking over the head of his cock as she licked the pre cum already there tasting him. "Jesus Baby," he moaned his head dropping back as she took him deeper moving with her hand as her mouth moved up and down his length. He ran his finger through her hair holding it back so he could watch her as she continued to take him deeper and deeper into her mouth.

"Baby you okay?" he groaned.

She released his cock from her mouth and looked up at him. "I'm good, You?"

"Yeah, so fucking good," he smiled.

"Good, well let me get back to it then," she said as her mouth covered him and she took him deep feeling the tip of him hitting the back of her throat as she sucked him hard, twisting her hand as it followed her mouth up and down him. She felt him twitch in her mouth and new he close from his panting and small jerks.

"Babes you need to stop, I'm gonna cum," he panted. He wanted to last longer enjoying the feeling of her mouth around him, but it had been so longer since he had sucked by a woman, the sensation was too much for him.

"Hmmm," she mumbled as she continued never releasing him.

"Shit …..Liv I can't….. I can't hold on," he grunted as he released into her mouth, his hot seed shooting down her throat, as she carried on sucking him taking everything he had tasting every last drop of him, until he had no more and he collapsed into the back of the couch.

"Christ," he panted trying to get his breath. He looked down as Olivia released him from her mouth licking her lips. "That was amazing Liv, you sure you're okay?"

"Never better," she grinned climbing back onto the couch and wrapping her arms around him. "Was it okay, I mean it's been a while since I …..."

This time it was Elliot's turn to put a finger against her lips "Don't talk," he told her. "That was amazing, Liv everything was perfect," he smiled at her as he pulled her into his arms tighter and kissed the top of her head. "Why tonight?" he asked her.

"I was ready, I wanted to. I can't explain it El. I love you so much and I just wanted to do this. To show you."

"Liv you didn't need to do that to show me you love me."

"I know it's just….. Lewis and Harris took so much away from me, things I used to love. I wanted to do it because I used to enjoy doing it and I wanted to enjoy it again with you, and only you."

"And you did enjoy it, didn't you."

"I loved doing it," she said straddling him again. "I loved tasting you, you taste so good and feel so good when you're in my mouth," she whispered in his ear. "And it felt amazing when you came."

She felt his dick getting hard again and grinned to herself. She raised herself up and lined herself up over his now solid shaft and impaled herself onto him. "Take me to bed baby, and make love to me," she told him, her voice deep and low and so fucking sexy.

"It would be my pleasure," he told her picking her up and holding her onto him, as she wrapped her legs around him and her arms around her neck as he walked into the bedroom.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Elliot picked up his phone and turned off the alarm.

"What the hell, Liv did you set the alarm last night?" he asked turning over finding and empty space beside him. He saw a piece of paper on Liv's pillow. He picked it up and rubbed his eyes as he sat up against the headboard giving his eyes time to focus.

Morning Gorgeous

Time to get up and meet me for breakfast.

Hurry I miss you, XXX

Elliot smiled and climbed out of bed and walked out the bedroom naked and into the empty kitchen. On the bench was a glass of orange with another note in front of it.

As much as I love to see your very sexy ass and extremely hot body you need to put these shorts on and come on outside.

XXX

Elliot laughed and looked on the stool picking up a pair of shorts she had left and put them on. He quickly drank his orange and walked outside into the morning sun. He looked around the garden and pool area and found it empty. He scratched his head and looked towards the gate to the beach which was open.

"Okay," he said to himself as he headed down to the beach. As he walked through the gate he saw a small table sat on the sand with two chairs, a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket and two glasses. In front of one of the chairs was a box with a ribbon tied around it.

He walked over and stood behind the chair and looked down at the box. In front of it was another note, he picked it up and began to read.

El

I love you with all my heart, I think I always have. Over the last two weeks you have shown me so much passion and love. You have cared for me, put my feelings first and loved me like no one else ever has. I truly believe in soul mates and I know you are mine. I am not whole unless I am with you.

You asked me a question a few nights ago and never pressured me for an answer; well I'm ready to give you an answer.

And that answer is…

El ignored the tears that blurred his vision as he flipped the piece of paper over looking for her answer.

"What the hell," he said out loud when he couldn't find anything.

"Yes," he heard from behind. "I would love to marry you."

He spun around his heart pounding in his chest. Olivia was stood in the gate way wearing long white flowing skirt and yellow top. She raised her left hand, the diamond ring sparkling in the sun.

Elliot grinned as she walked up to him "God I love you so much," he told her as she reached up and wiped the tear from his cheek.

"I love you to El. And I want to be with you and love you for the rest of my life, of our life, if you still want to that is."

"Jesus Liv of course I do," he said grabbing her and pulling her to him holding her tight in his arms and kissing her. He felt her smile against his lips.

"I have something for you," she said pulling away slightly and reaching round him grabbing the box and handing it to him.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Well open it."

Elliot undone the ribbon and opened the box. "My god Liv it's beautiful," he said looking down at the watch, taking it out of the box to look at it.

"Turn it over," she told him. Elliot flipped the watch and looked at the back and the engraving.

Always yours

Love

Liv

XXX

"Definitely," said Elliot leaning forward and kissing her as she took the watch from him and put it on his wrist.

"I wanted to get you something as well seeing as I get the ring."

"I love it baby, but not as much as you. You don't know how happy you have just made me."

"Well if it's just a small percentage of how I feel for you then yeah I do… now get the champagne open, we have some celebrating to do. And then I want to take my Fiancé back to bed for the day."

"I like the sound of that fiancée, however Wife is gonna sound a lot better," he told her as he popped the cork on the bottle.
