"Liv I'm home. Where are you?" Alex called out as she entered the apartment. When there was no answer she figured Olivia was still with Elliot. The fact that the apartment was dark when she walked in and that Olivia hadn't texted her to let her know she was back home should have been her first clue. Still there was a small part, who was she kidding a large part that wanted to have Olivia at home waiting for her.

Alex sighed as she turned around and shrugged out of her coat hanging it on the coat rack. She thought back and couldn't help but notice that Olivia was starting to spend more and more time at the precinct when she went and was starting to get back into work. It wasn't that she minded Olivia working or putting in ninety hour work weeks because honestly she didn't. It was the outstanding work ethic and dedication to her job that was one of the first things that had drawn her to her. For once she wanted her to focus on herself and not everyone else. To give herself the time she needed to fully heal and nothing more.

"Oh well the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Alex mumbled as she kicked her shoes off and flexed her aching feet.

"Is it now?" Olivia asked from her spot behind Alex.

"Jesus Olivia" Alex gasped as she turned around and almost stumbled backwards at the sight before. Olivia was still wearing her form, god they looked good on her, black slacks from this morning but had taken the maroon shirt off. Now all that was covering her upper torso was an a shirt, or wife beater as they had became known as, that fit her like a second skin. God she could see every ripple of her six pack through the shirt, lord help her. What really caused her heart to skip a beat and her to back up against the door was the look on Olivia's face. The best way to describe it was predatory and she was going in for the kill. There was no doubt that Alex was the intended target either.

"Alex" Olivia whispered as she took some very slow and controlled steps toward her. From the second Alex walked in and Olivia had seen her she had wanted to stalk over to her spin her around and kiss her like her life depended on it. She had started to when scenes from that morning flashed through her head like an old black and white movie. After that she stopped dead in her tracks and silently prayed that Alex would turn around quickly because she had never wanted someone like she did Alex at that moment.

"Liv" Alex managed to choke out.

"Yeah it's me baby and no one else." Olivia said moving forward slowly as she kept her concentration on Alex's face and eyes looking for any sign of a flash back.

Alex nodded unable to find her voice.

Olivia stopped within arm's reach of Alex. She smiled when she realized how ragged and shallow Alex's breath had become. The subtle flush of her skin and how her crystal blue eyes had turned almost black with desire encouraged her to continue.

"Alex I have every intention of kissing you." Olivia whispered amazed she was able to find her voice "Are you ok?"

"Please" Alex almost begged. Having Olivia look at her like she was going to be her last meal was her undoing and she felt like she would surely die if she didn't kiss her soon.

Olivia reached out and placed her right hand on Alex's hip while her left hand gently caressed Alex's face. Searching Alex's eyes for any sign of fear Olivia slowly closed the gap between them and allowed her lips to rest upon Alex's. Once she was sure there was no resistance or flash back's she traced Alex's bottom lip with her tongue and groaned when her lips parted automatically for her.

Alex moaned when she felt the gentleness that Olivia was taking with her. How careful she was to make sure that she didn't scare her. How despite how everything looked from the outside she knew without a doubt that she was in total control of this kiss every step of the way.

Olivia stepped closer to Alex and pressed her body against hers. The way they meshed together amazed her. It was almost as if they were two pieces that was needed to complete a puzzle. Olivia released a growl from deep within her throat as she became more confident that Alex was ok.

Alex pulled at Olivia's shirt desperate to feel her skin under her fingers. She cried into Olivia's mouth she the muscles started jumping as she raked her nails up her back. Never had she been with someone who was as receptive to her touch as Olivia was at that moment.

Unable to control herself Olivia's hand went to Alex's blouse and slowly began to unbutton it. She thought she had died and went to heaven when she felt the soft creamy flesh under her hands. She wanted to take Alex against the door when she threw her head back against the door and moaned at the sensations.

Alex cried out as her head hit the door. It was like Olivia knew exactly where to touch her and how to touch her. She threaded her fingers through her hair encouraging her to make her path down her body. She arched into Olivia even more when she felt her mouth take her taut almost painful nipple in her mouth through the bra. God they things this woman could do with her mouth.

Olivia felt Alex began to tense up under her. She slowly made her way back up and kissed Alex one more time before pulling back to stare at the blonde.

"Wow" Alex finally said once she found her voice and cracked her eyes open to see a smiling face staring at her "What was that for?"

"I missed you today." Olivia answered as she carefully re-buttoned Alex's shirt for her. "And I want you."

"Then why stop?" Alex asked as she draped her hands around Olivia's neck and pulled her to her "I'm yours for the taking."

"Trust me I will take" Olivia growled into Alex's ear smirking when she saw the goose bumps rise up on her neck "When you're ready but you're not ready right now."

"Thank you" Alex said when Olivia pulled back and looked at her.

"Anytime" Olivia said as she placed a stray strand of hair behind her ear "Now come on and let's get you settled into a nice hot relaxing bath. You can soak while I make dinner."

"Liv I can help you make dinner and take a shower later."

"Honey you have worked all day and need to relax." Olivia said as she guided her into her bathroom "Besides you being near me is not the best thing for you at the moment."

"I'm sorry" Alex whispered when it hit her what Olivia meant by the statement.

"Don't be." Olivia said as she turned the water on and checked the temperature before placing the plug in the tub "Give me about ten minutes to myself and I will be fine."

"I won't blame you if you looked elsewhere or left" Alex whispered so low that Olivia almost didn't hear her. "Besides we've only had one date and looked how that ended. It's not like you're committed to me or that we are serious. I understand that you have needs that need to be met and I'm not meeting them."

"Alex I'm a one woman woman and I have wanted you since the day your arrogant, pompous, know it all ass strutted and yes I do mean strutted into the bull pen like you owned it and us. When you stated you intended to get on our shoulders to reach a broader constituent base I was all for you getting on my shoulders but believe me when I say for a whole different set of reasons. It wouldn't be constituents that you would be reaching for unless you counted my head board as a constituent." Olivia smiled when she saw Alex blush as the statement she made sunk in "So if I have to wait longer to have my needs met as you call them I can wait longer. When you are ready you can reach for and grab my constituent as many times as you want. Believe me I won't complain."

"Get out of here woman" Alex said laughing as she tossed a wash cloth at Olivia. Only Olivia could take a situation where she felt like she was letting her down and turn it around. Seconds ago Alex felt like less of a woman and undeserving of someone like Olivia. After Olivia's speech, albeit very untraditional speech, now she felt as if and knew that Olivia was more than willing to wait for her. But she still felt that it was unfair to Olivia so as she leaned back and relaxed in the hot water she decided that she needed help.
