A/N: I hope everyone has a very happy and safe New Year.

Olivia smiled and kissed the top of Alex's head as she snuggled in closer. Despite how the night had started off and the small blow up she had with Trevor, it had actually turned out to be a great night. She enjoyed learning about some of the stunts that Alex had done when she was younger and the job offer she received was one of the highlights of her night. Although she would have to admit that the biggest highlight of the night was when they had made it home.

"I want you so bad," Alex had almost growled as she pushed Olivia against the door and began to strip her of her jacket, "You have no idea how hard that dinner was not being able to take you the way I wanted to."

Olivia moaned as her head fell against the door. She absolutely loved it when Alex became the aggressor in their love making, especially after everything she had endured. It showed her that Alex was well on the road to recovery.

"God, I love you so much," Alex gasped as she pulled away from Olivia and smiled at the brunette. Standing there watching Olivia's chest heave up and down with a flush, covering her body, sent her desire for the detective to levels she never knew existed. She quickly unbuttoned Olivia's pants and pushed her hand into them, groaning at the wetness she knew she would find there.

"Alex, please?" Olivia begged.

"Please what, my love," Alex whispered into Olivia's ear as she swiped her thumb over her straining clit.

"Please, take me," Olivia groaned out as her hip bucked against Alex's teasing fingers.

"Your wish is my command," Alex stated as she quickly shoved two fingers in Olivia quickly as she bit down on her pulse point causing her to cry out in ecstasy, starting a fast and hard rhythm in and out of the brunette.

Olivia cried out as she felt her knees buckle and give out from beneath her. She had never met a woman who could bring her to the brink of ecstasy with just one touch or keep her on the edge for hours on end; that was until she got with Alex.

"What are you thinking about?" Alex asked as she rolled over on her stomach and smiled up at the brunette who had shown her what true love really was.

"Tonight," Olivia answered looking down and smiling at the blue eyes that was so full of love and trust it caused her throat to constrict.

"You're going to call Trevor tomorrow for the job aren't you?"

"Alex, I have been out of work for over a year now and I haven't brought in any money for over a month," Olivia stated as she looked away ashamed, "I have used up all the time I had saved up and my short term disability ran out a little over a month ago. I have a chance to start bringing in a paycheck, albeit a small one."

"Honey, I need you to realize that I don't care about the money you can or cannot bring in. What you give me is worth so much more money."

"What do I give you other than being a burden that can't help with any of the financial responsibilities?"

"You keep my apartment clean and you have dinner on the table and ready for me by the time I get home. That right there is worth everything."

"All I am is a living in maid and chef for you?" Olivia asked in a joking tone as she tickled Alex.

"No, honey, you are more, so much more," Alex answered as she easily pinned Olivia's hand to stop her from tickling her, "You have shown me what love, true love, is. You have never once judged me or thoughtless of me when I have flashbacks or nightmares. You have allowed me to be myself and you have been more than patient with me. That right there, my love, is worth more than anything you could ever give me of monetary value."

"What made me so lucky to have a chance at you I will never know?"

"It's simple, you love me," Alex whispered before she gently brought her lips to Olivia's.

"That I do," Olivia whispered when they broke apart, "Which is why I really want your support."

"With the job."

"Yes."

"I just want you to wait one week," Alex said as she caressed the side of Olivia's face, "You see Dr. Matthews next week and that's your visit that determines when and if you can return to work, besides, one week isn't going to make a difference."

"Depends on when they pay and how often. I could possibly have a paycheck by the end of next week."

"Let's compromise," Alex said hoping that Olivia would agree, "Call Trevor tomorrow and schedule a meeting with him to see what the job will fully entail, but let them know that you won't be able to give them an answer till after next Wednesday."

"What if they want an answer at that moment?"

"If Trevor has already talked to them then I'm sure they wouldn't want an answer on the spot. Just make the appointment, talk to them, and bring home the needed paperwork for you to fill out and we will discuss it then."

"I have to say that you're taking this a lot better than I thought you would," Olivia stated as she placed Alex's head on her chest.

"Because, no matter how much I fight it, honey, I know that it's coming close to time for you to start back to work. I can either fight the inevitable or go with the flow and I believe it will be easier on both of us if I just go with the flow."

Olivia stared at the blonde and couldn't help but laugh at her reasoning. Deep inside, she wanted to fight with the blonde and start going over files tomorrow but she knew that as long as Alex looked at her with those eyes she couldn't and wouldn't. Hell, if she wanted to be honest she would bend over backwards to give the blonde beauty everything she wanted when she looked at her with those eyes. Which is why, it made it so easy for her to give in and agree to only talk with them when she met with the firm but wait till after she saw her doctor to give them an answer.
