The next one, I'm sorry it's a short one.

They were in the middle of a tough case and Rafael was in his perfectionist mood, preparing Olivia for tomorrow. Questioning her until exhaustion.

While Lucia was having Noah with her all night, they both had ended at her office to prepare the trial for tomorrow. The pizza, wine, and scotch were laying on the table as they were on the sofa, barefoot trying to be as comfortable as possible in work clothes. Each of them was taking up a corner, trying to maintain some distance, in case someone came in and to contain themselves.

It was too late and they both knew it. But Rafael wanted to do almost all the questions once more while Olivia only wanted to close her eyes for a little bit and a get good foot rub or even something more simple like just go home.

She started to scrub her feet on Rafael's leg in a clear attempt to get his attention.

"Liv" He didn't even stop looking at his notes as he pushed her aside, but she knew how to be tenacious.

"Rafi" She tried again "Please, only for a little bit, I have my brain fried of all these questions"

"Tomorrow has to be perfect"

"It will be, I promise" She assured him "We've been with them for three hours!" Olivia pouted, making him looked at her at last.

"Your pout won't give you anything" He almost couldn't stop his smile seeing her face.

"Please"

"Ok," He groaned. He took her foot and started one of his multiple husbandry duties, as she once said, even if they weren't married. As always, he was pretending that it caused him a great deal, but they both knew that he loved to do these little things to her. They were so in tune that there wasn't any problem in staying both quiet, enjoying the moment quietly.

But despite their age, and already five months of high sexual activity, almost daily in some other way, they seemed like teenagers with their first relationship, barely able to stay out of each other reach once alone. Always touching the other.

So as what was becoming usual, they began to look into each other's eyes. Rafael keeping his massage, which now had climbed to the ankle, the lust starting to make her appearance, making them both breath a little faster than a few moments ago.

"Rafi" Olivia tried to put some kind of a stop, not really trying. Rafael let her foot go, making himself comfortable between her legs, before towering over her on the sofa. Supporting his weight with his arms on either side of her head, staring into her eyes. "We said that we wouldn't do any of this at the office"

"You started it" Rafael defended himself.

"I just asked for a foot rub!" She tried to be reasonable, but Rafael was stubborn too.

"Do you really not notice the small noises you make while I'm doing any kind of massage on you?" He asked surprising her. "Because they drive me crazy. When I heard them, all I want is to rush over you and drive you crazy too." He said before he started to kiss her as she put her hands on his cheeks. Just with one of his kisses he could make her all pliant and persuade her of almost anything. But as the kiss started to get hotter and Rafael started to lower himself on top of her the door opened.

"Lieu" A male voice sounded in the background while they tried to put some distance between their bodies. Obviously failing on their farce that nothing was happening.

"Yes Mike," She said barely trusting her voice, not making eye contact. Biting her lip to stop a groan at their luck, knowing that her cheeks were redder than blood. While Rafael busied himself with his notes not stopping his cocky smile that put him in a lot of troubles.

"I'm sorry to interrupt"

"No, no... there's no problem" She woke up from the sofa putting some distance from Rafael "What do you need?"

"I was just wanted to ask if you needed anything else before I went home," Mike said not knowing how to behave. Finding your boss making out with the district attorney of your unit in her office was not a setting that anyone teaches you how to react to.

"Oh, I thought that you had already left"

"Yeah... I can imagine"

"Ok... thank you but you can go home," Olivia said "Rest, tomorrow is going to be a rough day"

"Yeah..." Mike was at the door when he asked: "Does my father know?"

"Not yet" Olivia was sincere

"Ok, good night" And then he left, leaving Rafael and Olivia truly alone.

"Do you thing that he will say anything?" Rafael asked, speaking for the first time.

"I want to trust that he won't. But we have to disclose Rafi, we're playing with fire" Olivia said as she hugged him.

"I know" He murmured "We'll do it after this case, with no excuses this time. The only thing we need is that they catch us and then they learn that the whole team already knows."

"Yeah"

"Let's go home," Rafael said, they were both tired, and as she said tomorrow would be a rough day.

I would have liked a lot that Dodds had stayed on the show.
