Elliot wanted to talk to Olivia and hopefully rekindle their relationship. But he needed a plan.
"Hey, Cragen, you still own that cabin in the mountains?" Stabler asked a few days later. "I think I might take Olivia up there and hopefully something will bring back her memories."
"Yea, gimme a sec, I'll get you the key," Cragen replied. He handed his employee the key and immediately, Elliot headed down to the interrogation room where Olivia was. She still didn't look too impressed to see him.
When Elliot unlocked the handcuffs keeping her restrained to the table, she immediately started to run. But Elliot managed to catch up to her and put his arms around her waist.
"NO, help!" Olivia said. "Let me go!"
The other detectives' hearts broke at the sight of Olivia crying for help as her husband took her out to a van. They wanted everything to go back to normal and make sure Boss would pay for everything he had done to her.
"What do you want with me?" Olivia asked after she was restrained to a metal pole in the van.
"I'm trying to help you, but all you're doing is trying to fight me," Elliot replied.
"Why are you doing this to me? I have children to look after!"
"Because I love you. You're my wife and once the drug gets out of your system, then you, me, Serena, and Alexandra will all be a family."
"But I don't love you," she said. "I never will. I love my Boss. And will you take these stupid cuffs off?"
"I would, but I don't trust you. I trusted the Olivia I loved, but you've changed and I want to fix things without having to deal with you going crazy."
He pulled out his cell phone and started showing her pictures of their wedding days eight years ago.
"Are these real?" she asked.
"Yes," he said.
"But they can't be. I'm married to Boss."
Elliot continued driving for another hour until he pulled up in front of the cabin. He held Olivia close to him as they walked inside.
"I'm just letting you know that we are five miles from the closest town and there is no cell service out here," he said.
Once inside, he locked the front door and kept her restrained until he finished preparing lunch. They sat down at the table and he unlocked the restraints so she could eat the food.
Over the meal, Olivia asked Elliot to talk about himself-his family and his job. For some reason, she felt a connection spark between them. The feelings she had for him were always stored away somewhere and now they were coming back. But she still felt attracted to Boss.
After the dishes were washed, dried, and put away, Elliot turned to his wife.
"Liv," Elliot said. "Please hear me out. I've been in love with you for years and I still am. Back in 2009, I took you out to dinner with the team."
"Dinner with the team?" she asked.
"Yes. Before the waiter brought us dessert, I set the box on the table and proposed to you. When you said yes, it was one of the best days of my life."
"Elliot…" she said.
"Please let me finish," he begged his wife. "When we got married, I was so happy and then when I found out you were pregnant, my life got even better. But when you were taken three years ago, my life completely fell apart."
He slowly kissed her. Olivia enjoyed it at first, but then she pushed him away.
"I'm sorry, I can't," she said. "I can't cheat on my Boss."
"Please just give me a chance," he replied. "Let me show you how much I love you."
"I can't."
"Tell me you feel something between us."
"I do. I do feel something. I feel drawn to you, but I love my Boss. I'm caught in between."
The moment got heated very quickly. He leaned in and kissed her again. This time, Olivia did not try to pull away. They made their way over to the couch and he got on top of her, kissing her again. She threw off his shirt and he undid her jeans and pulled them off her body. In one move, Olivia had undone his pants and he took off her underwear. He had missed this so much...this would be something they'd do almost every night when they came home from work to clear their heads and relieve stress from the job. As soon as she had taken off his underwear, he connected with her for the first time in three years.
Olivia had started to feel something different. With her Boss, he was rough and dominant. But with Elliot, he was caring and loving.
"Elliot, I have no words," she said once they finished.
"I love you, Olivia," he replied. "I don't want to lose you again. I don't want my life to fall apart like it did three years ago."
She leaned in and kissed him. Somehow, they made their way down the hall to the bedroom.
"I want you, Elliot. Please, make love to me."
He didn't waste a second in connecting them again. When he quickened his pace, she started to scream his name.
"YES, MORE, PLEASE. ELLIOT, PLEASE!" she said loudly.
But it was over quickly and as soon as they finished, Olivia got out of bed and was throwing her clothes back on. Elliot had tears starting to form.
"Please don't leave, Liv," he said. "We just made love."
"No, we had sex. The only person I make love with is my Boss."
"I know you cared about me when you said my name, Olivia."
"Don't call me that," she replied. "That's not my name. My name is Catherine."
"Your name isn't Catherine. Your name is Olivia Serena Benson-Stabler and you're my wife, but you're always going to be my Liv."
"This is wrong. Us having sex, it's wrong. I'm supposed to be with my boss, not here in the middle of nowhere."
"Tell me how you feel, Olivia."
She climbed back on the bed and kissed him. He started to remove the clothes she had put back on and made love to her until they were both exhausted.
Olivia felt regret clawing at her chest. She had cheated on her Boss, but there was a part of her that didn't regret Elliot making love to her.
