September 2006
Alex Cabot had been back to New York for a month. She was starting to feel comfortable in her own skin again. She was back in the Cabot family loop and had reconnected with her old friends. She also had made some new ones and was starting to get a handle on her job.
Unfortunately, however, she was no closer to knowing about the future of her own love life. Olivia seemed no closer to making a decision than she had been when Alex had first arrived.
Alex had tried to give her some space. She had actually hung out with Casey more so than she had Olivia and she was starting to get really close to the redhead. That made this situation all the worse. No matter what happened, one of them would get hurt and the other one would be the wrong person to console her.
If only there was a way they could both have Olivia.
* Light bulb goes off in Alex's head *
Why can't we both have Olivia?
Alex's first thought was that they could both date the brunette. Given their busy schedules, it would be easy enough to find time when Alex couldn't be there (so Casey could have Olivia) and times when Casey couldn't be there (so Alex could have Olivia).
Conceptually, it was the perfect solution for the problem, but Alex quickly realized the downsides.
What happens when we both want her on the same night?
What happens when we want to take the next step, like moving in together?
What happens when we want to get married, have children, the whole nine yards?
Olivia dating both of them meant they were stuck just dating, which eventually wouldn't be enough for either woman.
It's not like all three of us could get married … or could we.
Alex started to think of a whole new solution to their problem, one that could hopefully leave everyone happy.
It took a few days for the blonde to sort it out in her own head, but once she did, she wanted to share it with the other women right away and hear what they had to say about it.
She called Casey and asked if there was a good time where the three of them could meet up.
"The three of us."
"You, me, and Olivia. Maybe we could get coffee, dessert and talk this out."
Casey had been keeping her relationships with the two women separate in her minds, but there was an ultimate love triangle at play. Sooner or later, everything had to come out.
"Um, maybe this Friday. I'll check with Liv and call you back."
When Olivia got Casey's call, she was more baffled than her girlfriend. "She wants to meet with both of us?"
"Yes, it sounded amicable, but I'm nervous. Suddenly, it's all becoming real."
Olivia knew she had been putting this off too long. "Let's just hear what she has to say." It was easier said than done. Olivia was really nervous, and it showed all week.
On Wednesday, Stabler confronted her. "Liv, where is your head at?"
She shrugged. "Alex wants to meet with me and Casey on Friday."
"Over what? You told her you weren't interested …"
Olivia didn't answer.
"Didn't you?"
"Well, I didn't really say that to her."
Since she and Casey were still together, and they hadn't seen Alex around, the guys had assumed that Olivia picked Casey in the end.
"What did you say to her?"
"Um, that she still had a chance, and I hadn't made up my mind yet."
"WHAT?"
"And, I kind of still don't know!"
"Are you fucking kidding me with this shit?"
Elliot and Kathy were going into rows all the time, and Olivia had two women to juggle.
"I know. Friday is Judgment Day. I'm just scared."
Elliot told her to get herself together. "You can't change it whatever it is. Just take a deep breath and get your head out of your ass!"
When Friday came around, Alex, Olivia, and Casey were all like matches left next to napalm. Any little thing could get them to erupt.
Alex's way of distressing was preening. She got her hair done, her nails done, and a massage.
Olivia hit the punching bag for an hour.
Casey went to the batting cages.
Finally, at 8PM, Olivia and Casey made their way to Alex's apartment.
"Come in," Alex said as she opened the door. She was wearing a skintight blue sweater and painted on black jeans.
Olivia could feel a pooling in her stomach. Why does she have to look so hot?
Casey started to flush when she saw the blonde. Damn, she's gorgeous!
"I have cheesecake and ice wine."
"That sounds good," Olivia finally stammered as Casey just nodded.
"I don't bite," Alex teased.
"That's a lie," Olivia retorted.
They got to the table and Alex started to serve.
"So how was your week?"
Olivia shrugged. "Chasing around perps, dealing with Elliot on my case."
"What's he going on about?" Casey questioned.
"I've been, well out of it this week."
"Hopefully, we'll all be feeling better after tonight," Alex commented as she sipped her wine.
"Why are we all here?" Casey questioned. "I mean I know why, but …"
"Ah, the meat of the conversation. I suppose I should start, as the host." Alex moved over to the love seat; her guests moved to the couch.
"Over the past month, I've tried to become myself again, and I mostly got there, but I had this looming unknown, one that we've all had. It seemed like no matter what Olivia chose, it would suck for all of us, and then I had the thought, what if Olivia didn't have to choose.
What if we both went out with Olivia?"
Olivia's eyes got big, and Casey stammered, "What?"
"I figured we're all busy women with not that much free time. It shouldn't be hard to divide up our free time such that I get a chunk of Olivia's time and Casey gets a chunk of Olivia's time. It sounded good on paper, but the details were where the problems came out.
What happens when we want to move past dating? How could we move in together if we have two overlapping relationships? What about marriage, children, you see where I'm going with this.
It seemed that the only way we could possibly be happy is if all three of us were in one relationship."
"Huh!" Olivia muttered. Am I hearing things?
"Let me break it down. You're dating Casey. What if you kept dating Casey, started dating me, and I also was dating Casey? The three of us would be in one relationship, but any two of us could get together as we saw fit."
Olivia had heard Alex correctly. What the fuck? How could that even …
"If we get to the move in stage, then we all move in together. If we want to have children, then we have the added advantage of an extra set of hands."
"How could the three of us have children?" Casey questioned.
"Well, you and Olivia could adopt and I could be the legal guardian. Or if one of you wanted to conceive a child, my brother could be the donor and the other could adopt him or her. We don't have to figure it out now. My point is that it is possible.
Right now Olivia's heart is split in half, and I don't see another way of putting it back together again. I want us all to be happy, and I think this could be the way for us to do that."
Alex had no idea how they would react to this crazy proposal. She wasn't sure who would speak first, so her eyes kept going back and forth between Casey and Olivia.
Casey couldn't believe it. She had considered Alex out of her league, even after they became friends. "You want to date me?"
Alex nodded. "We don't know each other as well as I know Olivia or you know Olivia, but I want to get to know you." Alex kissed Casey's hand. The redhead's heart started pounding.
Olivia fixated on their interactions. Suddenly, the idea of them getting together was emblazed in her mind, and it was a really hot mental image.
"How do you see this working?" Casey asked, breaking Olivia's dirty image.
"I would like the opportunity to court you."
When Casey looked to her girlfriend, the detective smiled and nodded.
"How about Thursday?"
The women set the following schedule. Alex would take Casey out on Thursday. Olivia would take out Casey on Friday, and Alex would take out Olivia on Saturday. On Sunday afternoon, all three women would meet to discuss how the weekend had gone.
Once it got late, Olivia and Casey decided to go back to Casey's apartment. Alex said goodnight, giving each woman a kiss on the cheek before they left.
The cab ride was silent. Olivia and Casey both wanted to talk, but the words weren't coming out. It wasn't until they got inside the apartment when Casey managed to get out, "what do you want?"
Olivia turned and looked into Casey's green eyes. "I want you to be happy."
For the first time in a month, Casey could feel Olivia's unrestrained love for her.
"And how would you feel if Alex were to touch me?" Casey's voice was low and full of desire.
Olivia kissed her roughly. "Honestly the idea of you two fucking really turns me on." The detective was sopping right now. "You both are so sexy, and Alex is such a bottom slut," Olivia hissed into Casey's ear as she started unbuttoning Casey's blouse. "I could see it now. You walk into her office, bend her over her desk and fuck her silly."
Casey growled as she felt Olivia's teeth sinking into her shoulder. The ADA was a switch hitter, but she hadn't gotten a chance to fuck a girl in some time. Olivia was a power top, and Casey had no intention of trying to change her.
Before she knew it, Casey was naked with Olivia's knee in between her legs. The redhead was sopping. The brunette turned them around quickly. Casey put her hands on the wall to brace herself, and Olivia's rough hands were palming her breasts.
Casey had huge nipples and Olivia loved pinching and pulling on them.
"OH FUCK!"
Olivia crashed her lips onto Casey's swallowing her lips and cries as she worked her way down to the ADA's red curls. Their sex life had all but dwindled away since Alex's return, but now it was white hot.
Casey bit down on Olivia's lower lip when she felt two fingers deep inside of her sopping heat. A strong leg wrapped itself around Olivia's hip. The detective fucked her lover hard against the wall, plunging and probing, seeking out her g-spot every time.
"MORE! NOW!"
Olivia added a third finger and Casey clamped onto it so tightly that the brunette could barely move.
Once Olivia's thumb found Casey's clit, the redhead was done for. She shrieked loudly before coming all over Olivia's hand.
Olivia fucked her through the aftershocks, slowly removing her hand once she could.
Casey moaned at the loss while Olivia licked her fingers clean. Casey leaned against the wall. Her legs felt too weak to hold her. Olivia picked her up and carried her bridal style to bed. They were just getting started.
