Chapter 22

Olivia and Elliot stood at the water's edge and recalled the last time they had encountered Merritt Rook. Elliot could recall the pain he felt when he thought Olivia was being shocked. Even though he thought she was being hurt, he could feel her pain. He hated that he couldn't protect her. The man had stood in front of him hurting his partner and all he could do was sit there and listen to it. It had killed him and he had felt guilty for days afterward, even though Olivia turned out to be uninjured.

Olivia remembered everything that had happened from the moment Rook kidnapped her. He had recorded her speaking and said he would change it to make it sound like she was screaming. She immediately knew this would be used as an emotional weapon against Elliot. Then it was silent. She had no idea how long she sat in that studio, and each passing moment was another second she prayed for Elliot to burst through the door and rescue her. Finally, after what she assumed was close to 10 hours, she heard Rooks voice.

"Liv, Elliot's here."

Olivia knew what she was supposed to say. Rook had told her that he would hurt Elliot if she didn't say what he told her too.

"Do what he says, El." she rasped out, realizing that she was incredibly thirsty and her throat was as dry as sandpaper. Suddenly, all she wanted was to be wrapped in Elliot's arms, away from here. She could here him saying her name, but she was so tired she couldn't focus. Then the noises began.

The room went dark just as spooky noises started to fill the room. Olivia tried to remind herself that this was just a way to frighten her and give Rook a chance to mentally torture Elliot. She knew she had to stay strong, to protect Elliot. So she looked at the floor and took deep breathes, believing that Elliot would burst through the door and rescue her. And that is just what he did.

Elliot and Olivia were snapped out of the past when they suddenly felt raindrops pelting against their skin. Elliot looked down at Olivia and smiled as he saw her looking up at the crying sky, laughing. Olivia looked over at Elliot and saw the lust in his eyes. She was speechless and motionless as she watched him creep forward and slowly bring his lips to her. Olivia moaned as she felt the passion flow through their bodies and crash together as one at their lips. They pulled apart when air became necessary.

"Wow." Olivia breathed out, her mind still reeling from the earth-shattering kiss.

"I know." Elliot said with a smirk. Olivia grinned at him.

"What was that for anyways?"

"Olivia, I love you so much, and I can't think of anyone more beautiful. I want to kiss you all day long, be near you my entire life. I used to think that a home was a building where you lived, but I was wrong. Olivia, you ARE my home, and nothing can ever change that."

Olivia looked at Elliot with tear filled eyes and smiled. No man had ever told her that. Hell, no person had ever told her that they loved her before. She never knew a man could love her so much, that anyone could see her as someone to love Her mother had always abused her, whether it be physical or mental, and Olivia had come to believe that she was unlovable, a monster. But here was Elliot telling her how much he loved her and that she was his life. It was all she needed to hear.

"Yes." Olivia said.

"Yes?"

"Yes, I will marry you."
