Alex was a woman of her word. As she looked up at Olivia from her vantage point between her thighs, she had the most amazing view. She had teased Olivia in to a frenzy. Alex had carefully worshipped every square inch of Olivia with hands, lips and tongue. Every square inch, save one area that was desperate for attention.

"Alex, please." Olivia croaked out, her voice rough with desire. She swallowed and closed her eyes. She feared if she didn't let Alex know exactly how desperate she was for her intimate touch, that she'd keep up this sweet torture indefinitely. "Now, Alex. I need you...inside...now. Please."

The complete supplication in Olivia's voice melted Alex's heart. She smiled at her lover and nodded. "Yes, Liv. Oh yes." She bent her head to the task at hand.

Olivia closed her eyes at the first delicate stroke of Alex's tongue on her heated flesh. Her face contorted in an almost pained expression as Alex used her tongue to delve in to the wetness she found there.

Alex had a new favorite flavor: Olivia. The sweet, salty and slightly musky taste of Olivia's desire on her tongue was pure bliss. However, nothing could have prepared her for the sensation of entering her lover with the tip of her tongue. Drinking the nectar from the source was nothing short of spiritual. She moaned.

Olivia was certain she was going crazy with the overwhelming emotions and sensations raining down on her. She'd had other lovers go down on her, but this...this was...an out of body experience. She got a white-knuckle grip on the sheet and thrust her hips madly towards the source of her extreme pleasure.

Alex intimately stroked her lover as deeply as she could reach. After a few strokes and having lapped up more of her lover's desire, she gave a lick the length of the wet heat. She settled her mouth around the swollen and throbbing knot of flesh that was Olivia's clit.

Liv made an unrecognizable sound as she felt Alex begin to suckle at her. Simultaneously, she felt two fingers tease her opening.

Alex swirled her fingers in to the wetness, coating them thoroughly before placing them at the entrance to her lover's very core. She lifted her head briefly to observe her lover.

"No! Please!!!!!!" Liv cried out as Alex's mouth left her. She looked in to loving blue eyes with question.

"Shhhh. It's ok. I love you, Liv. So much." As she made the declaration she pushed her fingers in to the silken heat. "Oh Liv. You feel amazing."

Liv's body welcomed her in the most beautiful way. Alex felt her fingers almost sucked inside. She stilled her fingers until she felt Olivia's body begin to rock against them. She curled her fingers and rubbed.

Soon they had developed a delicious push-pull rhythm that left Olivia dangling helplessly on the edge. Alex dipped her head once again and sucked the now pulsating flesh in to her mouth. She rubbed it with the flat of her tongue. Her other hand danced up Liv's body and cupped the warm flesh of her breast.

The combined sensations were too much. Olivia cried out Alex's name as her body convulsed. She arched up to Alex's body and crashed back to the cot repeatedly.

Alex felt the contractions around the fingers buried deep inside her lover and the sensation was amazing. Olivia's body seemed to be gratefully hugging her fingers for bringing sweet release.

There was only one word filling Olivia's mind, heart and body. "Alex, Alex, Alex. Alex." She whispered the name like a prayer.

Alex hummed appreciatively as she heard her name spoken so reverently. She lovingly kissed the tender flesh she had been suckling. Liv gave a shiver and a whimper at the contact. Alex smiled up proudly as she lifted her head.

Olivia took a deep shuddering breath. She tried for other words but only managed to utter a breathy, "Alex" again.

"I like the way you say my name." Alex rested her head low on Liv's belly where she could still breathe in the heady scent of her lover's arousal.

Olivia brought her hands to Alex's head and held her to her. Within minutes, a deep, peaceful sleep claimed both women.

----------------------------------

Liv woke slowly. She could feel warmth and weight on top of her and a noise. 'What is that noise?' With her eyes still closed she reached for her bedside table. As she reached behind her, her hand met nothing. The fact that she wasn't in her bed became obvious and she opened her eyes. 'The crib. Alex.' She looked down at the sleeping blonde and smiled. 'My phone!'

Liv quickly untangled herself from under Alex and sprinted naked for the pile of clothes they'd left on the floor. She pulled her phone out of her pants. "Benson!" She managed just before it would have gone to voicemail.

"Olivia? Everything alright there?" She heard her Captain's voice on the other end.

"Captain. Yes. Fine. Why?" Olivia was frantically sifting through clothing to find her panties. Talking to her captain naked was just...wrong.

"Well, you do know that the blizzard has shut down the city. Power is out in most places." His fatherly baritone was laced with concern. "I didn't know if you got home safely. There was no answer at your place."

'Crap.' She hadn't noticed previously, but the room was lit only with emergency power lights. "Uh, yeah." Olivia scratched her head as she finally found her panties. "I stayed at the station. No power, but we're ok."

"We? I talked to Munch. He said he got out ok."

Olivia swallowed hard. "Yeah, Alex got trapped here too. We're alright though, Cap'n."

"Well, I'm glad you're ok and with somebody. They'll have the station dug out and the roads cleared in an hour or so. Will you be alright 'til then?"

Liv heard a chuckle coming from the cot. Alex was sitting up and looking at her with an amused smirk. She raised both eyebrows and made a gesture that indicated she should cut it out. "Yup. Safe as houses here."

By the time Olivia had assured her boss that all was well, Alex had buried her head under the pillow she was laughing so hard. She felt a cold draft waft over her body as Liv tore back the pillows and covers. Alex suddenly felt very exposed.

"And just what exactly is so funny, Ms. Cabot?" Liv stood in front of the cot, hands on hips.

Alex could barely speak between bursts of laughter. "Captain Cragen. You, naked. Everything." She bent over again laughing. In between guffaws she managed to say, "It's hard to look indignant in nothing but panties, baby."

Liv tightened her lips. "Is that right?" She pounced on the bed and mounted a skilled tickle attack on her lover. "I'll give you something to laugh about."

"Ahhhh! Liv, stop!!" Alex attempted to wriggle out from under the detective.

"Not until you apologize for laughing at me." Liv continued.

"Problem is..." Alex had worked her way on to her stomach somehow. "..you're punishing me for laughing by tickling me. Interesting theory."

"I thinking punishing is too harsh a word, but fine. I'll stop." She let the blonde attorney up. "Come here." She sat back and opened her arms.

Alex warmed instantly at the gesture. She crawled in to the warmth and safety of Olivia's arms. "I like here. Here is good."

Liv wrapped her arms around her girlfriend and rubbed gently. "Yeah. I'll never look at the crib the same way again."

"Imagine when we get to a real bed." Alex wiggled her eyebrows and placed kisses on Liv's chest.

"Mmmhmm. I can hardly wait." Liv buried her face in the silky blonde hair. "But, I think we shouldn't press our luck. Cragen says we should be able to get out in an hour or so. I don't know about you, but I'd rather not have some beat cop pounding on the door while we're in the middle of..." She nuzzled Alex's earlobe and give it a tiny bite. "...a stimulating conversation, you know?"

Alex sighed deeply. "I know. Merry Christmas, by the way. Guess Santa got my letter." She leaned up and briefly captured Liv's full lips with her own.

Liv pulled back and arched her eyebrow. "You wrote a letter to Santa asking for amazing sex with me in the crib on Christmas Eve? Huh. I didn't know you could get that specific."

Alex groaned and shook her head. "See? That's the problem with you concrete thinkers. No imagination."

Liv pulled them both to their feet and wrapped her arms around Alex's slender waist. "That's not what you were saying a few hours ago, counselor."

Alex blushed at the reference. "No, it wasn't, was it?" She shivered slightly as her bare feet chilled against the cold floor.

"Merry Christmas, Alex." Liv kissed her softly on the lips. "Ok, let's get ourselves dressed before you catch your death. I'm pretty sure your panties are over there some place." Liv hitched a thumb over her shoulder.

-------------------------------

It had stopped snowing, but it was still very windy when they headed out of the precinct. They stepped out in to a blanket of white that covered everything. The final measurement was thirteen inches of snow and a white Christmas for New York City. There was a stillness in the air that was rarely found in the city that never sleeps.

Liv slipped a gloved hand around Alex's shoulder to shield her from the biting wind. "You ok?" She shouted over the wind.

Alex nodded from beneath her scarf and huddled against Olivia as they walked together the two blocks to the parking garage where Liv's car was.

"Whew! We made it." Liv slammed the door behind her and started her up. "It'll be warm in a minute. Then we're just ten minutes from my place. You still ok?"

Alex lowered her scarf. "If you being over-protective of me is a side-effect of sleeping with you, I may have to rethink the whole thing. I'm fine, Liv."

"Sorry. You're face just gets so red." She slipped off her glove, reached over and cupped Alex's red cheek.

Alex pressed her cheek in the warmth of Liv's palm. "Ah, it's just a cross the fair-skinned bare. I guess I'm not use to having someone worry about me."

"Well get used to it. I take care of the people I love, Alex." Liv smiled in to the loving gaze that met her eyes.

"I don't think I'll ever tire of hearing you say you love me." Alex leaned forward and brushed her lips against Liv's. "This is the best Christmas ever." She sighed deeply.

"Definitely top five for me." Liv gave a half smirk.

"You are awful. So, answer me this, Liv?" She pulled back and entwined her gloved hand with Liv's bare one. "What on earth possessed you to make your move last night of all nights...after all this time?"

Liv rubbed her fingers against the back of Alex's hand. She shrugged and said with a cocky smile, "It must have been the mistletoe."
