Chapter 14

Elliot put on a pair of beach shorts whilst Liv put on a short thin yellow summer dress over the top of her bikini

Jesus Liv" he said sighing "Remember the conversation about being like horny teenagers" he said looking her up and down.

"What and you think It's easy for me when you have nothing but shorts on" she grinned at him as she walked out the door.

Elliot took her hand as they walked out the back of the house. His Mom and the twins were all sat down on the beach.

"El this place is lovely" she said as they walked down the steps onto the sand.

"Yeah I never really came up here that much to stay; the kids have always loved it though"

"Hey you two" said his Mom reaching into a cooler box and getting out two beers popping the caps and handing them over.

"Cheers Mom"

"I was going to ask what took you guys so long to change" said Dickie "However looking at your neck Dad I don't need to ask" he laughed.

"Oh my god Dad, really!" exclaimed Lizzy "and you have a go at me when I kiss a boy"

"Yeah well, you're too young to be kissing boys"

"Yeah and I reckon you could be too old to have a hickey" said Dickie grinning.

"Oh really to old" said Elliot handing his beer to Olivia. "You think I'm too old" he said as he walked towards Dickie.

"Yeah Dad to old" laughed Dickie starting to back off.

"You want to hope I'm to old cause your heading for a swim" said Elliot as he started to run towards Dickie. Dickie turned but despite his age was no match for Elliot who caught him quickly and picked him up throwing him over his shoulder and running towards the sea with him shouting for his Dad to stop before Elliot ran into the water and threw Dickie off his shoulder into the water. Dickie went completely under before springing back up; Elliot had turned his back to start walking back to the beach and didn't see Dickie as he jumped on his back pulling him backwards under the water. Dickie quickly escaped the water and ran onto the sand grinning as Elliot emerged from the water.

"Yep definitely to old Dad"

Elliot smiled at his son "yeah I will give you that one" he said ruffling his son's hair as they headed back to the others.

Olivia watched as they returned and sighed as Elliot got closer licking her lips as she watched him walking towards her water dripping of his toned body, if they had been alone she would of jumped him right there and then. She felt a gentle throb between her legs as he walked right up to her.

"You okay baby?" he asked.

"Erm yeah …I'm fine…how was the water?"

"It was good you want to go swimming?"

"Maybe later, it's nice just sitting for now"

Elliot finished his beer and grabbed two more out the cooler before sitting in the lounger next to Liv.

"You know that's the first time I have seen you playing and having fun with your kids, it was nice" she said turning her head to face him.

"Yeah well I'm going to make sure I do it a lot more"

The rest of the afternoon was spent sitting in the sun drinking and chatting. Elliot explained everything that Kathy had done and lied about to his Mom and the twins. The twins told him the definitely didn't want to move back home with her or see her right now they needed time to calm down before they could face her. When Maureen and Kat turned up they got the BBQ going.

Olivia sat and watched Elliot with his kids at the BBQ as the sun started to set and smiled. The whole day had felt so right and so good, she couldn't remember the last time she was so happy, as if sensing her watching him Elliot looked over and smiled at her. She smiled back taking a drink of her beer.

"You know I never seen him this happy with Kathy" said his mom sitting next to Olivia.

"Oh I'm sure they were at one time"

"Mmmmm maybe when they were kids. Elliot had all these plans and dreams when he was younger about leaving and seeing the world, and then Kathy told him she was pregnant 2 weeks before he was due to leave"

"So he gave up on all his dreams to stand by her"

"Yep, him and Kathy had even split up when she told him she was pregnant, they had been apart for 4 weeks when she told him she was 8 weeks pregnant. I always thought there was something strange about that"

"What you think she done it on purpose?"

"All I know is Kathy was going nowhere she hadn't done well at collage, she had a job at a coffee shop in town and Elliot was leaving her"

"Did you tell Elliot what you thought?"

His Mom nodded "Yeah we all did, his father even told him to get a paternity test but he wouldn't hear of it, he said he knew the baby was his and he had to do the right thing"

Olivia looked over at Elliot laughing and joking with his kids.

"But he is happy now; he wouldn't change having his kids for anything"

"No that's true but it doesn't mean he has to be happy about the way they were brought into the world"

"What do you mean?"

"Every time Elliot and Kathy would go through a bad patch she would end up pregnant again keeping him there, she would bat her eyes at him or put the guilt trip on him and get him back into her bed, it happened with all the kids. I couldn't believe it when I found out Kathy was pregnant again with Eli after they split up, I don't think she wants him she just doesn't want anyone else to have him or for him to be happy, he is like her comfort blanket she can't be without him"

"Does Elliot know how you feel?"

"Oh yes why you think we fell out so much. I love my boy but he is stubborn and doesn't like to be proven wrong, also he is a proud man and will standby the promises he made in front of god even if he doesn't agree with them, religion was always a big part of his life as a kid and Kathy's I think she used that against him as well. So when I say I have never seen my Son so happy I mean it. He may of loved Kathy for giving him his beautiful children but I don't think he was ever in love with her. I never once seen him look at her like he looks at you, he has never been so relaxed, you are very good for my son Olivia Benson"

Olivia looked at the older woman "Thank you" she said tears in her eyes.

"Hey everything ok?" asked Elliot walking over.

"Yeah everything is good" said Olivia wiping the tears away. Elliot's mom stood up and bent over kissing Olivia on the forehead.

"No thank you Dear" she said smiling at Elliot before walking towards the kids.

"You sure you're okay?" he asked sitting on the chair facing her.

"Never better" she said. Elliot reached over wiping a tear away "Your mom is great" she smiled.

"She is definitely different" he said leaning forward and kissing her softly his hand brushing through her hair and pulling her towards him as his tongue slid into her mouth tasting beer and potato chips as her tongue brushed against his, and she sighed into his mouth.

They didn't notice everyone watching them from the BBQ.

"They have been like that since they arrived" said Dickie.

"Yeah their acting like teenagers, it's disgusting" said Lizzy.

"I think it's lovely" said Maureen.

"Yeah"said Kat "They both deserve some happiness"

"Yeah I know that but do they really need to make out like that in front of us" said Lizzy "Just wait till my boyfriend comes round and I do that" shouted Lizzy.

"I own a gun, you don't, so don't even think of doing this in front of me" shouted Elliot back at her.

"That's not fair" she shouted back.

"Yeah well that's life" he said sanding up and pulling Olivia to her feet "Come on" he said "Food is ready"

"Yeah if your both even hungry" said Dickie "After you've just eaten each other's faces"

"Do you fancy a walk along the beach?" asked Elliot as they sat side by side on the sand around the small camp fire.

"Yeah that would be great" she said standing up and stretching, before taking hold of his hand. Dickie, Lizzy and Kat had gone to bed a while ago and Maureen was sitting talking with her grandma.

"Were just going for a walk" said Elliot bending over and kissing his Mom and Maureen on the forehead "Don't wait up"

"Night guys" said Olivia as they walked off down to the shore line.

His Mom smiled at Maureen "I'm so happy he is finally smiling "she said to her.

"Me to grandma it's been a long time since I seen him so happy, I really can't get my head round what Mom has done, how could she do this to us?"

"I don't know Dear, I really don't. But one good thing has come out of this your Dad is happy for the first time I a long time"

Elliot wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked along the shoreline the water just covering their feet, the beach was deserted at this time of night.

"I can't believe how warm it is still, it's almost midnight" said Olivia, looking up at the clear sky. "You know I can't remember the last time I seen the stars so clearly, you never get a chance to in the city"

"Yeah will you will form now on, I'm going to make it my mission that we spend more time away from the city at every chance we get"

"Sounds good to me" she said snuggling into his side. "Today has been great El. Seeing you with your kids having fun, I have seen you so relaxed"

"I honestly can't remember the last time I was" he stopped walking and turned to face her wrapping both his arms around her. "I can't remember you ever being this relaxed either" he said lowering his head and kissing her neck gently sucking on the lower part, he heard her groan as he sucked harder knowing he was making his mark on her.

He moved his hands down under her ass cheeks and lifted her up easily and she wrapped her legs around his waist, she felt his erection push against her as he continued his assault on her neck. She felt him moving but was too lost in the feel and touch of his mouth on her neck that she didn't pay too much attention. His mouth finally moved from her neck.

"Hmmm baby did I mention how hot you are?" he asked

"You may have mentioned it once or twice" she smiled.

"Yeah I think you need to cool down" he grinned as his kept his grip on her and flung himself to the side plunging them into the water. They both rose back to the surface Olivia coughing and spluttering catching her breath. Elliot stood a few yards from her trying not to laugh.

"Stabler, that wasn't funny" she gasped.

"Oh I don't know" he said with his cocky grin on his face "it was kinda funny"

She stood glaring at him a smile slowly forming on her lips "You're a prick, do you know that"

"I have been told that on few occasions"

Olivia moved so the water was just above her knees, Elliot followed her with his gaze; her sundress was stuck to her showing every curve of her body. Olivia noticed his gaze. She grabbed the bottom of her dress and slowly slid it up her body and over her head revealing her small bikini. She threw the dress onto the beach.

Elliot swallowed hard as he took in the view. The water glistening off her body in the moonlight, the small bikini just covering her breasts, he felt himself getting hard.

"See something you like Stabler"

"Oh yeah" he nodded.

"Want to see some more?"

Elliot just nodded unable to speak as she reached behind her neck and pulled at the string undoing the tie and letting the bikini top fall away to reveal her perfectly shaped breasts. Elliot noticed they were slightly paler than the rest of her body where they hadn't been in the sun; he let out the breath he had been holding, as she flung the top on top of the dress.

"how's that?" she asked "Now lose your shorts"

"What?" he said unsure what she had said "I said lose your shorts?"

He pulled his shorts down and walked towards Olivia.

They lay on the sand panting.

"Jesus Liv what the hell was that" he laughed.

"I don't know but we need to do it again sometime "she laughed. Elliot stood up, his legs still a bit shakey.

"Come on we best clean up" he said reaching down for her hand. She took it and he pulled her up walking into the water. Gently they both washed each other smiling and placing gentle kisses on each other.

"You are amazing Benson" he said as they stood holding each other in the moonlight, the water up to their waists.

"You aint to bad yourself Stabler" she smiled. "Come on let's get back I need some sleep" she said kissing him again.

They walked out the water and Elliot picked up the clothes and shrugged rolling them into a ball and putting them under his arm, taking her hand.

"El we can't walk back naked" she laughed.

"Liv after the noise we just made I don't think anyone is around" he laughed back at her dragging her with him. When they got close to the house Elliot stopped and looked at her.

"Wait here I will sneak in first and grab some clothes in case the kids or my Mom is up" he grinned. "I'm back to feeling like a teenager again" he laughed. Olivia sat on the sand to wait for him listening to the waves gently lap against the shore. She looked up at the stars and sighed, she couldn't believe how happy she felt right now, and everything was just perfect. A few minutes later she heard Elliot come up behind her.

"Here" he said handing her a pair of shorts and one of his t-shirts; he had on another pair of beach shorts. "I figured we could sleep out here tonight" he said holding up some blankets. He lay one down on the sand and lay down patting the blanket beside him. Olivia lay down after putting the shorts on but leaving the t-shirt off. Elliot pulled the blanket over them as Olivia snuggled into him resting an arm over his chest.

"This is perfect El" she said kissing him on the neck.

"I figured you would want to sleep under the stars after saying you never got to see them much" he said kissing her on the forehead.

"Liv, thank you" he said pulling her tighter to him.

"What for?"

"for always being here for me, for being patient and waiting for me to stop being an idiot….and for the most amazing mind blowing sex ever" he laughed. Olivia jabbed him in the ribs.

"You couldn't just stop at the nice stuff could you, you had to lower it." She laughed. "But you are right the sex is amazing" she yawned "Now go to sleep" she said closing her eyes, as the sound of the waves lulled her to sleep.
