"Are you enjoying yourself?' Olivia asked stretching.

"I am" Alex said with laughter in her voice "I had no clue that your muscles are so well designed. I know men who would give anything to have a set of abs like this. Besides I do believe this is a better way to wake up then having to deal with a panic attack. Don't you?"

"No this is." Olivia said as she turned Alex's face up and kissed her.

Alex moaned into the kiss as she slid her hand up along Olivia's body till it was resting on her right shoulder. Closing her eyes she pushed against Olivia and broke the kiss.

"You ok?" Olivia asked suddenly terrified that she had pushed Alex too far too fast.

"I am more than fine detective." Alex almost purred as she straddled Olivia and smiled down at the brown hair beauty. "I owe it all to you."

"You owe me nothing Alex."

"You may not think so but I do." Alex whispered as she grazed her nails along her collar bone. "

"What is that you think you owe me?" Olivia asked swallowing hard.

"Hmm" Alex breathed as she ran her finger along Olivia's face "There is so much to name but most importantly my life or should I say giving me back my life."

Olivia opened her mouth to say something but stopped when Alex's placed her finger on it and shook her head no.

"For so long I have been terrified to step out of my apartment and when I did I was constantly looking over my shoulder. There were times that I would sit in my bed with a bat across my knees shaking in terror believing that any moment she would come through my door and attack me again. Often times I would stay up for days at a time, I was never really sure what was worse, waiting on her to attack me or the nightmares I would have if I did sleep. Now, now I'm not terrified to go outside and enjoy all the sights that New York has to offer even though I was raised here. Now, when I go to bed I no longer sit up with a bat or fight sleep because of the nightmares. Now when I lay down I actually sleep. That Olivia is all because of you. You have given me my life back."

Alex removed her finger and leaned down to kiss Olivia once again. She knew at that moment that kissing this woman and making love to her would be something that she would ever tire of. It was something that she realized she never wanted to stop doing either.

Alex broke the kiss when her lungs began screaming for air. Taking a deep breath in she began to explore Olivia's body much like she had done to her. She kissed and nipped her way down to her hand and then made her way over to the other hand before nipping and kissing her way back up the opposite arm.

"Lay back and relax for me." Alex whispered into Olivia's ear "I want to show you how much you mean to me, please roll over."

Olivia nodded, taking a deep breath trying to will her body to relax as she rolled over groaning when she felt Alex straddle her lower back.

"You are always so tense." Alex whispered into her ear as she laid against her back reaching to open the drawer to her left grabbing a bottle of lotion. "You should try to relax more."

"Kind of hard with my line of work" Olivia mumbled into the pillow.

"I'm going to fix that." Alex answered as she sat up and popped the top on the lotion generously pouring some in her hand. Alex rubbed her hands together before she began to massage the constant knots on Olivia's shoulders.

Olivia groaned at the feel of Alex working the knots out of her shoulder.

Alex smiled and leaned down to kiss the shoulder she had just worked two very large knots out of before moving down her back taking her time at each knot she encountered until there was nothing there.

"I have never met someone with such tone and muscular legs." Alex exclaimed as she began to massage Olivia's legs.

"I work out." Olivia moaned

"Flip over" Alex said laughing.

Olivia flipped over and closed her eyes simply enjoying the feel of Alex's hands on her.

Alex continued her assault up Olivia's body amazed at the amount of tension that one body could carry. No wonder Olivia always seemed like a highly coiled body ready to strike at any given moment.

"How does that feel?" Alex whispered into her ear once she had worked her way back up Olivia's gorgeous body.

"That felt like heaven." Olivia mumbled not opening her eyes "Pure heaven."

"I'm glad." Alex whispered against Olivia's shoulder before biting it gently.

Olivia gasped at the sudden bite and then moaned when she felt Alex sooth it with her tongue. She had just stilled her sudden beating heart when Alex continued her assault with her mouth southward.

Alex pulled back and licked her lips as she stared at the taunt bud that was aching for her attention. With a devious grin she slowly lowered her self and pulled it into her mouth, pulling at it with her teeth before releasing it and flicking it with her tongue. She hummed when she took it in her mouth and sucked on it as hard as she could.

Olivia screamed out when Alex hummed against the already over sensitive nipple. She had to grab the sheets to prevent herself from tangling her hands in Alex's hair and holding her in place.

"Looks like someone is so primed and ready." Alex said as she kissed her way to the other nipple flicking her tongue across it.

"Please" Olivia begged as she arched higher off the bed.

Alex closed her eyes and swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat. To hear Olivia beg and know that she was the cause of her begging was almost more than she could handle. Taking a deep breath Alex pulled the tight straining bud into her mouth and sucked on it. Occasionally flicking her tongue across it or biting down on it depending on the sound she heard coming from Olivia.

"Baby please please" Olivia cried as she arched her body trying to receive the contact she so desperately needed.

Alex released the nipple she had in her mouth with a pop. "What is it you need my love?" She asked as she blew gently across the nipple causing it to become even more taunt and aching with need. The same need she felt coating her leg when she placed it between Olivia's legs.

Olivia groaned as she ground herself against Alex's knee finally receiving the pressure and connection she needed. She threw her head back and cried out as she reached for Alex. God she was so close.

"Not yet." Alex whispered into Olivia's ear as she pulled her knee away breaking the contact.

"Please Alex I need.." Olivia sobbed out as she raised her hips off the bed seeking contact once again and being denied it.

"What do you need my love?" Alex asked flicking the swollen clit with her finger as she ran her finger through Olivia's soaked folds.

"I need release" Olivia said opening her eyes locking them with Alex's blue ones.

"Do you now?" Alex asked as she raised her finger so Olivia could see how drenched it was with her juices before taking it in her mouth and sucking it clean.

Olivia grabbed Alex's hand and tried to push her in the direction that she wanted her.

"Do you know how good you taste?" Alex asked pulling her hand away not letting Olivia guide her to where she wanted.

Olivia clenched her eyes shut in what could almost be described as desperation.

"I bet" Alex said as she scooted down the bed and settled between Olivia's legs taking time to inhale the aroma that seemed to engulf the whole room "You are going to taste even better when you come in my mouth."

Olivia's eyes shot open and she raised her head to look at Alex. She opened her mouth to tell Alex its ok when all that could come out was a strangled cry of pleasure.

Alex waited till the words registered and Olivia was looking at her before running her tongue through Olivia's folds. She knew Olivia would try to stop her but she so badly wanted to do this for Olivia. She needed to do this for Olivia.

Olivia grabbed for the sheets and clenched them tight in her hand till it was almost painful for her.

Alex glanced up and saw the death grip that Olivia had on her sheets and she could have sworn she just fell in love with the brunette even more at that moment. She knew she was doing that for her safety and comfort which made what she going to do next even easier.

"Alex" Olivia choked out trying to pull against the blonde when she realized she had pulled her hand away from the sheets and placed it on the back of her head.

"I trust you' Alex said locking eyes with questioning brown ones. "Guide me, show me what you want."

Time seemed to stand still for the two women as they stared at each other. Silently encouraging the other to do what would make the other happy. Finally Olivia relented and tangled her fingers into Alex's head and pulled her into her aching core where she held her in place.

Alex groaned when Olivia finally gave in and pulled her to her. What should have terrified turned her on because she knew she was beyond safe with Olivia. She inhaled deeply before she flicked Olivia's clit with her tongue smirking when Olivia's hips bucked off the bed.

"Baby." Olivia cried out as she tightened and released her hold in Alex's hair.

Alex wrapped her arms around Olivia's legs holding her hips in place as she went to work on her soaked core. Never had she wanted and needed to tasted a woman as she did Olivia at that very moment. She flicked and sucked on her clit moaning at the taste that flooded her mouth. She knew Olivia was close by how tight she was beginning to hold her hair.

"I want you to let go" Alex whispered against Olivia's leg "Let go for me."

Olivia's only response was a moan as she tried to pull Alex back to where she desperately needed her.

Alex pulled her clit in her mouth and began to suck on it as she slowly circled it with her tongue. With each pass she could feel the muscles in her legs twitching more and that tell tale hitch in her breath. Wanting to send her over the edge and do for her what she has done for her Alex moaned and hummed as she sucked even harder and pressed against her clit rubbing it with her tongue.

"YESSSSSS" Olivia screamed as she felt the first wave crash over her. "Please don't stop."

"MMHH" Alex moaned as she continued her assault on Olivia. God she loved how the woman tasted and even more than that she loved how she sounded when she came.

"Alex" Olivia cried as she arched her back and the scream caught in her throat. She tightened her grip on Alex's head but let go when she realized how tight she was holding her against her.

Alex carefully brought Olivia down from her high lightening the pressure she held on her clit with each stroke of her tongue. She didn't pull away completely until Olivia finally laid back on the bed gasping for air. With one last gentle kiss to her lips she quickly made her way up Olivia's body so she could look in her eyes.

"Hey" Olivia said her voice hoarse as she brushed a few strands of hair that was matted to Alex's forehead away.

"Hey yourself." Alex whispered placing a gentle kiss on each eyelid.

"Are you..I didn't…Did I?" Olivia asked searching Alex's eyes for the answer to the question she was terrified to ask.

"You were perfect." Alex answered smiling as she settled down next to Olivia laying her head on her chest "Just perfect."
