Chapter 17: Mykonos

A brief car ride had taken them to the Saint John Resort in southwest Mykonos. They would be spending the next nine days in a beautiful villa with their own personal maid, chef, and concierge service. Olivia had seen the inside of some very nice hotels before, but this place was something totally different. The villa was spacious and open, with a panoramic view of St. John's Bay. They had direct access to their own private beach facing the gorgeous Aegean Sea. This place was practically decadent.

"Alex, this place is…unbelievable. It's beautiful here."

Alex grinned very proud of herself. She tugged on Olivia's hand as she continued showing her around. She pointed forward.

"We have an infinity pool if you don't want to go into the sea. There's a hot tub. We can sunbathe over there." She pointed again in the opposite direction. "Oh! And there is a hammock. It's an incredible spot to watch the sunset. You haven't seen a sunset until you watch it disappear into the Aegean. It's breathtaking."

Olivia was speechless trying to take it all in. "I don't know what to do first."

Alex giggled at how childlike Olivia sounded. "We can do whatever you want."

Olivia raised a brow and glanced around. "Where did the bell-boy and the maids go?"

"They have quarters a little ways down the beach. They only come when we call. Right now it's just you…." She leaned in and kissed Olivia just below the ear. "… and me and the sounds of the sea."

Olivia grinned. "Oh really. Maybe we should take advantage of all this privacy then."

Alex found that particularly sensitive spot on Olivia's neck and made her mark. "You know… I've never made love to a pregnant woman before."

Olivia pulled Alex tightly into her arms and captured her lips. It didn't take very long for things to heat up between them. Olivia pulled back breathlessly. "I think I know what I want to do first." She said pulling Alex back towards the bedroom.

"Olivia, baby, you're going to kill me! You have to let me… rest for a second." Alex was struggling to breathe as she stared up at the ceiling. "I think I'm paralyzed. I can't feel my legs."

Olivia laughed moving over to straddle her. "You're the one that said you wanted to make love to a pregnant chick."

"I said woman, not chick. Chick is such a chauvinistic thing to say."

"You can't be that tired if you're still using big words like chauvinistic." Olivia teased. She ran her fingers along Alex's jaw down to her breast taking time to circle each erect bud causing Alex to groan.

"We've been at this for hours… and you're pregnant. How is it that you're not tired?"

Olivia leaned in and planted wet kisses in the same path her fingers had taken. When she took a sensitive pink nipple into her mouth, Alex nearly arched off the bed. "What can I say? I have a lot of stamina… and I haven't been able to touch you like this in a week. I've missed you."

"Oh baby, I've missed you too…" Alex leered at Olivia's perky breast. "… all of you." Finding energy from somewhere, she lifted up and flipped them over.

Olivia let out a surprised laugh. "I thought you were tired?"

"Just needed to catch my breath." Alex said already making her way down Olivia's body. She took her time exploring Olivia's ample breast. "Hello girls."

"Ah!" Olivia grabbed a handful of blonde hair as Alex bit her sensitive nipples. "Never would have pegged you as a breast woman, Counselor."

"Mmm… I never was before but these…" She lavished them with kisses making Olivia laugh. "… are just magnificent and just think, they're going to get even bigger."

The sound of Olivia's laughter could be heard throughout the villa followed closely by a deep sensuous moan as they started all over again.

"You know, we should just stay here forever." Olivia said sipping what she called her 'fruity drink with the cute umbrella'. Even though she couldn't have alcohol, Olivia had found that she really didn't miss it. The virgin drinks were still amazing.

Alex looked over at Olivia and smiled. The detective was completely relaxed lying back in a lawn chair sunbathing on deck as the yacht drifted in the vast Aegean. The older woman was smiling with her sunglasses in place wearing the sexiest blue bikini Alex had ever seen. It was hard to even imagine that she was pregnant at all, let alone ten weeks. There didn't appear to be a single inch of fat on that incredibly toned body. If this was any indication, Olivia was going to make one gorgeous pregnant woman.

Alex found herself looking forward to the months to come. She had already started fussing over Olivia's diet, making sure she ate balanced nutritional meals. Alex was becoming more and more invested in this pregnancy by the day.

"That can be arranged if you'd like," Alex said sipping her own virgin drink. She had decided that if Olivia couldn't have alcohol, neither would she.

"Yeah right. We'd just quit our jobs and spend the rest of our lives on a resort in the middle of nowhere? Not gonna happen, Counselor."

"Why not? You think you'll grow tired of me?"

Olivia snorted. "Hardly! We'd both be bored out of our minds and probably end up killing each other."

Alex had to laugh. "True, but it's been wonderful just getting away hasn't it?"

Olivia nodded. "It's been great. I can't tell you the last time I spent the entire day… doing nothing. I mean, I have done nothing but eat and sip on these things all day." She said holding up her drink.

Alex turned her head and pushed her sunglasses down her nose. Her blue eyes twinkled. "You've done nothing today, Detective? If I recall correctly, you did me… several times I might add."

"I meant chores, smarty pants. Making love to you is never a chore."

"Good save, Detective."

"I try." Olivia stared out at the clear water for a while. "Hey, Alex can I ask you something?"

"You just did."

"Ha. Ha. You're just a regular comedienne aren't you?"

"What is it, sweetheart?"

"Why did you name this huge boat after yourself?"

Alex laughed out loud. She had been wondering when Olivia would finally mention it.

"It seems a bit narcissistic doesn't it?"

Olivia frowned in the cutest way. "Just a little."

"Well, I didn't actually name this yacht after myself. It belonged to my father."

Olivia nodded in understanding. "So he's responsible for 'The Alexandra' then?"

"Yes."

"You were a daddy's girl?" Olivia teased.

Alex smiled wistfully. "Yes, I was. He was my hero. The Grayson blonde and blue eyed genes are very strong. Everyone said that I looked just like my mother, but I wanted to be just like my father."

"What did he look like?"

"A lot like you actually." She grinned at Olivia's surprised expressions. "He was tall, with dark hair and dark eyes. He and my mother were the polar opposites physically. They made quite the striking couple."

"Sort of like us?"

Alex nodded. "They say that daughters search for their father in their mates. I think they might be right. You share a lot of his qualities."

Olivia felt honored. "You don't talk about him very much. Tell me about him."

"His name was Alexander Fitzgerald Cabot III.

"Oh my god. There were three other Alex Cabot's before you?"

This made Alex laugh. "Yes and I'm going to pretend that you mean that in a good way."

"Of course I did." Olivia pulled Alex's hand to her lips and kissed it. "The world would be woefully empty without an Alex Cabot in it."

"You're such a charmer."

"Come on. Tell me… what was he like?"

"He was a wonderful father. He was always patient and incredibly loving. He always expected me to do my best, but he always made sure that I knew he was proud of me just because I was his daughter. As a man… I would describe him as a person of integrity and honor. He believed in standing up for the little guy. He had an unwavering faith in the legal system and everything it stood for. My mother used to call him a walking oxymoron because he was a lawyer down to the bone but an eternal optimist as well. He always saw the bright side of things no matter what. I don't think I really took after him in that respect."

Olivia tilted her head thoughtfully. "I think you're wrong. I'd say you're very much your father's daughter."

Alex blushed. "Thank you."

Olivia reached over and kissed her hand again. "Thank you for being you."

Alex cleared her throat and changed the subject. "So, do you want to know what we will be doing tomorrow?"

"Are you going to tell me or is that going to be another surprise?"

Alex arched a brow over her shades. "Would you like to know or be surprised? It's up to you this time."

"I think I want to know. You've surprised me enough already."

"Tomorrow, we are taking a short flight over to Athens to see the ruins and take in the sites."

Olivia's face lit up. "Oh my god! When I was a kid I always wanted to see the…."

"Parthenon. You read all about Greek mythology at school and you became fascinated with Athena, the patron goddess of the city." Alex said easily.

Olivia pulled her sunglasses away and stared at her. "I never told you that. How did you know?"

Alex swallowed trying to think of something to say. "Umm…"

"Alex?"

Alex silently cursed her loose lips. "We had been working around the clock on the Johanson case for nearly two weeks. The suspect was obsessed with Greek mythology. Other than Munch, no one really knew much about mythology… except you. You were like a walking encyclopedia."

Olivia vaguely remembered. "I remember the guys teasing me about it. The called me a 'closet nerd' for weeks after that. But how did you know that? You weren't there… were you?"

"I overheard you while I was in Cragen's office one night. Everyone else had gone home to rest. It was just you and Munch left. I heard you tell him that when you were a kid, you wanted to grow up to be just like Athena because she was beautiful, wise, and strong… everything you wanted to be." She could feel Olivia's eyes on her and she looked away bashfully. "You are all of those things, by the way."

"That's why you chose to bring me to Greece." Olivia stated.

Alex nodded. "I wanted you to see the origins of Athena for yourself."

Something else occurred to Olivia and she frowned. Olivia scratched her temple. "But wait… the Johanson case… that was nearly twelve years ago. You had only been our ADA for a few months then. You hated me. Why would you remember something like that?"

Alex just tilted her head and removed her own sunglasses. Olivia's eyes widened at the intensity of those blue eyes.

"I could never hate you, Olivia." Alex whispered.

Olivia felt her eyes water. "Alex, how long have you been in love with me?"

Alex held her gaze. "How long have I known you?"

"Even then?"

"Even then."
