~~~~~SVU~~~~~

A year later:

Liv smiled happy as she woke up in the arms of her love. She blinked her eyes open and looked up into the sleeping face. Ever since they had gotten together, Liv noticed that Alex slept with a small, permanent smile on her face. It made her happy to know that she made Alex happy. They had had some tough parts over the last year. They had had arguments and jealous tirades. But in the end, they always made up and went on stronger than before. It had been decided that Alex could stay with SVU, but she couldn't work on any case where Liv was the lead detective. That had made both woman happy since Alex couldn't imagine doing anything else. She agreed to work as their SVU alongside Casey Novak. The addition of the red-head was a little tense at first. Liv wasn't used to working with someone who wasn't Alex; Casey had a hard time adjusting at first. Where Alex had been cold and ambitious enough to ignore (at least outwardly) the stomach-churning details of their cases when she first started, Casey was transparent with her feelings. She and Olivia butted heads because Casey pushed harder and acted tougher to compensate for every heartbreaking emotion. Casey was also determined to make sure they detectives did everything by the book; she had heard the rumors and the warnings from her bosses that the SVU detectives could be hasty to bend the rules to get the justice they sought. Olivia was offended that she assumed Alex was the one who let them bend the law. Sure there had been times Alex hadn't said anything when she knew that that had happened and she had done it herself, but still Liv was ready to defend Alex's ability and competence if need be. The tension between them had changed when Liv had gone to the red-head's office to yell at her for how she was acting and instead found her crying and looking defeated.

"Could you have been any harder on that little girl?" Liv asked harshly.

Casey was hunched over in her couch. She looked up at Liv with sad, wet eyes. "I'm sorry," Casey said, her voice cracking slightly from her crying. Liv instantly felt her anger leave her at the puppy-eyed look.

Trying to comfort the younger woman, she said kindly, "No one thinks they can handle the children at first."

Casey had moved to her desk. "I wanted straight homicides," she said sadly, "All the glory; no live victims." She shivered. "I mean, how do you guys handle it? What do you say to your boyfriend when you go home at night?"

"Well let's see Fin never talks about home at work. Elliot doesn't talk about work at home. And Munch has just given up. And actually I don't have a boyfriend. I'm dating Alex. She understands because she deals with it too, but even I can't bring myself to tell her everything about certain cases or details and how they make me feel."

Casey didn't seem to react at all at the news of Liv dating Alex. She just continued to look pleadingly at Liv as she asked, "So why do you guys do this?"

Liv shrugged, "Because someone has to."

Casey nodded and seemed to ponder that. Liv took her silence to mean she had no more questions so she gave her a small smile and patted her arm gently. Then she turned to leave and head back to work. Later, after Casey proved herself to be quick thinking by looking for Courtney in the cooler, Liv had heard that Casey had gone to Branch to ask for a transfer but had been denied. Instead of crumbling however, Casey did her best to step up to the plate. Liv respected that and offered to be there should she ever need someone to talk to. Their friendship was slower to bud than it had been with Alex but after a few weeks, Casey and Liv grew to be very close. Close enough that, when she and Alex would have a major fight, she would go to Casey's. Alex didn't like it then and didn't like it now, but her jealousy wasn't as big as it had been.

The first time Olivia found out that Alex was jealous of Casey was a few weeks after she and the red-head started being friends. Liv had come home later than expected from being out with Casey. Alex sat up to wait for her, her anger brewing and mounting with every passing moment. The green-eyed monster played and molded Alex like Silly Putty by allowing images of Liv cheating on her with Casey. That logical part of her knew she was being ridiculous but she couldn't talk herself down. Finally, she heard Liv's key in the door. She watched as the brunette tried to move quietly, believing Alex would be asleep by then. Alex used the darkness to her advantage and snuck up behind the detective. Once Liv had locked the door and turned around, she gasped in surprised and jerked back until she slammed herself against the door. Alex reached to turn the light on as Liv tried to still her beating heart. Then she gasped, "Jesus Al. You nearly gave me a heart attack." That's when she saw the look on Alex's face. "Babe. What's wrong?"

"Don't 'babe' me," Alex growled. "Why are you home so late?"

Liv looked confused and a little scared, "Casey and I ran into Serena and Abbie and we got to talking and lost track of time. Are you okay? Did something happen?"

Alex softened for a second, Liv's concern for her touching her heart, before hardening once again. "You could've at least called."

Olivia's eyes narrowed as she grew suspicious, "Al seriously. What is this third degree for?" When Alex stayed silent and glared as she crossed her arms, Liv suddenly realized what was happening. "Are you jealous or something?"

"So what if I am?"

"Alex. That's ridiculous. Casey and I are just friends. Even if she was interested in me, nothing would happen." Olivia tried to walk around Alex when Alex's arm flashed out and shoved her back against the wall. The brunette let out an "oomph" as Alex used her whole body to hold Liv against the door. "Alex," she started to protest.

"Why wouldn't it happen Liv?" she snarled, "Purely because she wouldn't be interested? Because let me just tell you something, let me tell you that that's a load of crap. Everyone is fucking interested in you Liv. Or wouldn't it happen because you don't want to be labelled as a cheater? Or because you feel the need to stay here with me? You don't need to do me any favors by staying if you wanna fuck her Liv."

"Excuse me?" Liv was shocked. "Alex get off me and be reasonable. I-"

"Reasonable?" she screeched, "You want me to be reasonable when my girlfriend is off with another woman, a hot, sexy, red-headed woman?"

"Alex baby. Calm down please and let me speak," she tried to sound as sweet as possible. "I don't have any feelings for Casey. I don't have feelings for anybody but you."

Alex went on like she hadn't even heard her. She growled as she leaned in even closer to her captive, "You're mine Olivia. And I'll make sure everyone, including you, knows it."

Olivia opened her mouth to tell her that she already knew who she belonged to when Alex bit her hard on the throat. She cried out in pain and surprise. She could feel Alex's hands begin to tug at her belt and jean buttons. "Alex wait," she gasped but suddenly stopped when she felt Alex cup her center. Despite the situation, she felt herself grow hot and wet as Alex harshly moved her fingers against her. Alex's mouth worked furiously against the skin of Liv's throat, leaving numerous bruises in her wake. So many that Alex was sure the entire left side of Liv's neck would be covered in them. Nobody would possibly be able to miss them. Liv tried to breathe and get her mind out of the gutter long enough to be able to slow this down. "Alex. S-stop for a minute," she tried, but her girlfriend just forced herself closer to Liv as Alex roughly pushed inside her. Olivia cried out in a mixture of pain, surprise, and pleasure. "No Alex," she gasped as she tried to push Alex away. But Alex just growled and ripped her hand out of Liv's pants. Before Liv could even comprehend what was happening, Alex had grabbed both her wrists and held them against the door above her head. "Jesus Alex," Liv gasped at the show of strength. She felt both pleasure and fear at this side of Alex. "Please Alex. Stop. We need to talk this out. You can't make love to me when you're this angry," she pleaded.

"The hell I can't!" Alex snarled. In another move that had Liv gasping from surprise, Alex whirled Olivia around and forced her to bend over the couch, holding her hands tightly behind her back. Alex leaned down to whisper in her ear, "I can have you whenever and however I want." Olivia involuntarily shivered and moaned in anticipation. Alex smirked as she reached to the scarf that she had haphazardly thrown over the couch with her coat earlier. Olivia was too busy trying to figure out how to calm Alex down to notice the material wrapping around her arms until it was too late. Alex tied the knot tight around her wrists as she bound Liv's hands behind her back.

"Hey! Alex!" Olivia protested and tried to pull her hands away. But Alex just pulled the knot tighter, making it impossible for her to break free. "God damn it Alex. Stop. We need to talk," Olivia shouted, growing angry.

"No! We'll talk once you know you're mine." Alex grabbed Liv's hair and pulled her to stand up before wrapping her arms around Liv's waist and pushing her towards their bedroom.

"But I already know I'm yours!" Olivia screamed as she tried to shimmy away. She knew she could physically stop Alex if she needed to, but she didn't want to hurt her beloved blonde, no matter how ridiculous she was being, or making her even more angry; after all she was trying to calm her down and make her think rationally.

They finally reached the bedroom and Alex shoved Liv on to their bed. Before Liv could recover, Alex jumped on the detective and reached for her wrists. Olivia felt the knot loosen and pulled her hand away. She reached her hand out for Alex when, with lightning speed, Alex grabbed it once again. She forced Liv's hands above her head and tied them again, this time to the head frame. 'Holy hell. She's stronger than I thought,' Liv thought to herself. Once Alex moved away to admire her handiwork, Liv pulled against the bind. It wouldn't budge. 'Damn it.' She growled mentally. She looked back to Alex with pleading eyes, "Alex please just listen to me. I love you. You. No one else. You're all I want. For the rest of my life I will love no one else. I'm yours okay. I'm yours."

Alex smiled at the words. But it wasn't a loving smile. It was too wide, too feral, her eyes too wild with anger and raw, animalistic desire. Olivia shivered, her toes curling from the unexpected flash of heat to her center at that look. She felt her own desire to stop this fade and turn into a whole different desire. The desire to have Alex fuck her while she was in the throes of such carnal need. Olivia half-heartedly thrashed as Alex ripped her button-up shirt open, the buttons popping up and flying to the floor. Alex purred in pleasure as she realized that Liv was wearing a bra that clasped in the front. She decided to hold off on undoing that for now as she moved to tear Liv's pants and underwear off. Alex's eyes wandered hungrily over Liv's body. Liv looked like an offering laid just for her, ready for her to use as she saw fit. Olivia watched as Alex slid off the bed and sauntered over to their dresser. Alex could feel Liv's eyes on her so she purposely swayed her hips. She opened the second drawer from the top and pulled out the items she wanted. Hiding them to her chest, she moved to the bathroom, closing the door behind her. Liv let out a breath and looked to the ceiling. Once again she tried to pull against her restraints but to no avail. She didn't think that Alex would hurt her despite being controlled by her jealousy and anger, but there was still something not quite right about this. Olivia didn't want to think of them having an anger-fueled fuck when they usually made love. Sure they could get a bit rough and there would be toys and bondage involved sometimes. But it was never anything like this. And yet, there was something that was also incredibly hot and appealing in this as well. Certainly, Liv could feel that her core agreed with that last part. It was throbbing and soaked with arousal and excitement. Her heart was thrumming loudly in her chest as she waited to see what Alex had planned. She wondered if maybe, somehow, she could plead with Alex again and get her to stop. But a part of her felt sad at the possibility of that happening. 'Maybe I should just lay back and let this happen. I may enjoy this wild Alex.'

Just then she saw movement out of the corner of her eye. She hadn't noticed that Alex had opened the door and watched as she struggled. The sight caused Alex to feel a delicious heat spread in her core as she watched Liv's body bend and pull against the scarf. But eventually, she got tired of simply watching and started to move closer. Liv's head whipped to the side to look at her. The sight that greeted her, made Liv's core swell with wetness and heat and her hips jerked uncontrollably. Alex strutted towards her completely naked except for the strap-on toy that was protruding from between her legs. Olivia knew by the sight of it that it was their favorite; the one that not only had the pleasurable cock but a smaller nub that fit inside whoever was wearing it and vibrated enough that both of them could feel it. Olivia bit her lip to hold in a moan. 'Yah. I'm going to enjoy this.'

Alex climbed on the bed and straddled her captive. She was pleased to see that Liv was looking at her with arousal and need. She moved so she was on all fours and hovered over Liv. She leaned down until she could whisper in Liv's ear, "I'm going to fuck you so hard Liv but you're not allowed to come until I say so. Got it?" Liv nodded, unable to verbally agree. Alex smirked and continued, "I want you to scream my name when you do come. Understood?" Again Liv nodded. Alex attacked Liv's mouth in a ferocious kiss, dominating her with her tongue. Liv surrendered herself easily to Alex. Alex quickly popped Liv's bra open and pushed the two halves aside so she could squeeze the two perfect breasts. Liv gasped. Alex alternated between tweaking her nipples and massaging her mounds, quickly driving Liv crazy. When Liv pulled her lips from Alex's to pant, Alex licked down her throat until she reached her chest. She took one nipple into her mouth and pulled it with her teeth. Liv cried out. Alex released it and soothed it with her tongue. Then she moved to the other one to give it the same treatment. Alex slid her hands down Liv's torso and between their bodies until she reached Liv's center. Alex purred when she found it soaking wet. She forced a finger between the folds and swirled around Liv's opening. Liv moaned quietly. Alex circled her clit causing Liv to jerk. Her hands pulled against the scarf. She whimpered when she realized she couldn't push Alex down further. Alex wanted Liv to beg so she kept up with the slow teasing of her opening and clit. Liv struggled harder as her arousal grew. Finally, she couldn't take any more and she cried, "Alex! Please do something!"

Alex smirked and said against her breast, "I am doing something. You'll have to be more specific."

Olivia whined but gasped, "Get inside me. Use your tongue. Please!"

Alex moved so she could look down at her prisoner, "Is that what you need Liv? Do you need me at your clit? Do you need me to be inside you?"

"Yes!" Liv begged, "Yes. I need you Alex. I need you. I always need you."

Alex rewarded that response by moving so her mouth was hovering just above Liv's needy core. She watched as she slowly pushed two fingers inside Liv. Liv let out a long, loud groan and threw her head back in pleasure. She bit her lip as she struggled not to come. She thought she'd gotten herself under control when she felt Alex's tongue lap at her clit. She cried out wordlessly as her back arched, causing her to pull on the scarf again. She panted as she fought against the need to come. Alex continued her assault, loving how easy it was to play Liv's body. She picked up speed with her fingers, being sure to press on Liv's clit from the inside as her tongue flicked it from the outside. Olivia moaned and panted constantly. Alex could feel her muscles starting to tighten and slowed back down. Liv groaned in protest. "Remember not to come without my permission Liv," Alex taunted as she sped up once again.

Olivia did her best to agree but it came out as more of a grunt than actual word. When Alex increased her speed again, Olivia cried out. She began to shake, a thin layer of sweat now covered her body as she struggled against her orgasm. Alex curled her fingers rapidly inside Liv. Liv screamed, her back locked into an arched position as she squeezed her eyes shut and told herself over and over not to come. Her muscles closed around Alex's fingers and wouldn't let go. Alex continued to move her fingers; she was pleased that Olivia managed to hold off coming so far, but she wanted her to lose it. She wanted a reason to punish Olivia and so she took her clit into her mouth and sucked hard. Olivia's scream was so loud Alex wondered if the neighbors would call the cops but still Olivia refused to come. Alex thought, 'She's too good at needing to please me.' She doubled her efforts. Olivia's head thrashed back and forth as she panted erratically. Her body was quaking heavily. Her muscles were twitching with the need to come. She fought it off as best she could. She tried to think of gross things like seeing her mother naked or a mutilated body or Munch and Fin making out. Nothing worked. The pleasure ripped through her body without her permission. She screamed Alex's name as she came.

As Alex watched, she smirked with victorious pride. She'd won. And now she'd get to punish her love for it. Before Olivia could fully recover, Alex crouched over her and roughly shoved the toy inside her. She cried out. Alex set a fast, hard pace from the beginning. She pounded into Liv over and over, biting her lip from the pleasure it was causing her. Olivia whimpered and moaned, not quite sure if it was from pain, pleasure, or exhaustion. The longer Alex fucked her though the more pleasure she felt. She began moaning and chanting Alex's name, rolling her hips to meet with every thrust. She could feel another orgasm building quickly. "Alex. Can I come again?" she panted.

"Oh you'll come alright," Alex growled. She adjusted her angle ever so slightly so she would hit Olivia's g-spot.

Olivia shouted, "Alex!" as she came again. Instead of slowing down or stopping, Alex increased her speed, the cock pressing against Liv's g-spot even faster. "Oh god!" Olivia moaned, feeling her body moving towards another orgasm before she'd even recovered from the last one. "Alex!" she screamed. As her third orgasm claimed her, Olivia understood what her punishment was. For coming without permission, the sentence would be to come until she couldn't come anymore. "Fuck!" she groaned. Alex slowed her pace but only enough to reach for the remote for the vibrator. Her own opening, though plugged, was weeping with wetness, begging to be made to come. She knew that once the vibrating started, it would take everything in her to not come so she could continue punishing Liv. But she also knew that the vibrations would have the same effect on Liv who, in her weakened, vulnerable state, wouldn't be as able to fight off coming. So she quickly, flicked on the switch to start the vibrating.

As expected, Olivia cried out and her body arched into Alex's. Alex moaned as the vibrating massaged her own needy insides. She bit her lip to keep from coming as she focused on thrusting in and out of Olivia. With every thrust, Olivia could feel the vibrations against her sensitive insides. She moaned and cried out in ecstasy as her fourth orgasm grew closer and closer. "Alex! Alex! Please! Oh god!" she chanted, though she wasn't sure exactly what she was asking for. Alex reached for Liv's legs and pushed them up so Liv was bent almost in half, pounding into her even deeper. Only a few moments passed before Olivia screamed Alex's name once more. She panted and sagged against the bed. She didn't know how much longer she could put up with this kind of pleasurable torture. She almost felt relieved when she felt Alex pull out. But that relief was short-lived when Alex flipped Liv so she was laying on her stomach. It was easy considering Liv was basically a dead-weight. Alex considered giving Liv a break, but that was hardly a punishment. She forced Liv's legs apart and moved back to her entrance. As she pushed back inside, Liv whined softly but otherwise didn't move. Once she was all the way in, she leaned over to tease in Liv's ear, "Had enough Liv?" Liv only moaned. Alex slapped her ass, "Answer me Liv."

"No. No I haven't had enough," Liv said bravely, forcing herself to her knees to show Alex that she was ready for more.

Alex hummed and kneeled behind her. "Such a good girl. My good girl," she slapped Olivia's other ass cheek, "Aren't you?"

"Yes Alex. I'm your good girl."

Alex smiled. She grabbed Liv's hips and started thrusting into her once again. Olivia let out a long moan. The vibrating cock moved along her slick walls with delicious slowness. She was still sensitive but had had longer to recover this time so she was ready. Alex was pleased to feel Liv pushing herself back to take Alex's thrusts deeper. When they took things slow, Olivia could go on for hours on end. When they didn't, Liv could still outlast Alex usually. Alex was determined not to let that happen. The vibrating nub inside her was driving her crazy, but by not focusing on it, she had managed to hold off coming so far. And she wouldn't, she vowed to herself, until she had made Liv come as many times as she could. She increased her speed. Liv moaned. Alex slid her hands around Liv so she could cup one breast with her left hand as she teased her clit with her right. Olivia cried out. Her body was quivering under Alex's. Her muscles started to tighten once again. Her mind was empty expect for a chant of Alex's name which she soon started to speak. Alex could tell by how small and croaky her voice sounded that Liv wouldn't be able to keep this up much longer. She smiled victoriously, pressed herself against Liv's back, and fucked her with all her might. The noises coming from Liv never stopped, only increased in volume as she grew closer. Finally, she squeaked out, "Alex!" as she came for a fifth time.

Alex stilled and let Liv recover before pulling out of her. She moved Liv so she once again lay on her back before pushing into her one last time. Olivia was now nearly unresponsive save for a few quite whimpers. Alex turn off the vibrations for the moment, lay down atop Olivia, and waited a few moments. She listened to the detective's heartbeat. She recalled the numerous times Olivia had said that that beat was only for her. She felt silly for letting her jealousy get the better of her and regret that she had forced herself on Liv. She and Olivia had never made such violent, raw love before, and now Alex found herself wondering if she'd crossed a line. She wanted to make it up to her sweet, beloved Olivia.

She took a breath and spoke gently, "Come one more time Liv and I'll let you go."

"I- I don't think I can," Olivia said quietly.

Alex pressed the button on the remote and jerked her hips, causing the vibrating cock to press against Liv's clit. Olivia moaned, her hips twitching as well. Alex smiled, "I think you can Liv. I'm ordering you to come one more time and then I'll forget everything that happened. I'll accept what you said about nothing going on between you and Casey, and I'll even admit that I was wrong."

"Re-really?" Liv forced herself to open her eyes and look at Alex. She looked much gentler now. The anger and wildness was gone only to be replaced with love and a touch of sadness. She realized that Alex, the real Alex, her Alex, was back from jealousy-land and she smiled sleepily, "Okay Alex. Whatever you want baby."

Alex kissed her softly, lovingly as she began to thrust slowly in and out of Olivia. Olivia responded as best she could through her exhaustion. Alex reached up and undid the binds. "Touch me Liv. Please," Alex whispered. Olivia did as told, running her hands along Alex's sides and down her back, grabbing her ass and pushing her downwards to show Alex that she could handle more. Alex moaned into Liv's mouth as she increased her speed. Liv moved her hips up to meet every one of Alex's thrusts. She could tell this last orgasm would be the most powerful yet because Alex was loving her now not just fucking her. She wanted to make sure Alex was sated too because it was a sure thing that she'd pass out when they were done. She dragged her nails over Alex's ass, up her sides, and around so she could grab Alex's breasts. Alex gasped, jerking her hips faster in response to Olivia's pleasurable touch. She could feel her need to come growing with every thrust, every touch. "Olivia," Alex gasped. She pulled her lips from Liv's to breathe into her neck.

Olivia wrapped her arms around Alex, holding her close, feeling her orgasm just a few moments away. "Come with me Al," she panted.

Alex thrust her hips with all her might. A few heartbeats later, she cried Olivia's name and came powerfully. Liv came a few breaths later, her mouth wordlessly saying Alex's name as she had no more strength to speak. As the pleasure waxed and waned repeatedly, they shuddered in each other's arms. When Alex finally felt Liv's arms fall and her body melt into the bed, she knew Liv had passed out. Alex leaned up and looked down into her love's face. She smiled affectionately at her closed-eyed, sweaty girlfriend and reached for the blanket. Gently, not wanting to hurt Liv, she pulled the toy out of Liv and turned it off. She tossed it towards the bathroom, vowing to clean it tomorrow, and snuggled into Liv's side. Alex also vowed to talk to Liv when they woke up. She felt extremely guilty and hoped that she hadn't hurt or scared Olivia. Her eyes drooped eventually and she fell into a troubled sleep.

When Alex woke the next morning, she had left Liv sleeping in bed to shower and then went to sit at their kitchen table. She made herself coffee but couldn't bring herself to drink it and simply stared down at it. Self-hating, guilty tears slid down her cheeks. She didn't hear Olivia wake up with a painful moan as she stretched her sore body. It was a good painful though, an I-was-loved-really-well-last-night pain. All the same, Liv might need a few days to recover. Alex also didn't hear as Liv moved into the bathroom and took a shower. Liv noticed how bruised her neck was and winced. The skin there felt a little raw and tender still; she would definitely have to wear scarves and turtlenecks for at least a week and a half or so. She would so get Alex back for this. She chuckled. When Liv was dressed, she went to find Alex for a good morning kiss. She found Alex sitting hunched over at the kitchen table over what looked like a cold cup of coffee with tears running steadily down her cheeks. It was obvious Alex didn't hear her come in so she frowned. "Alex honey," she said quietly so as not to startle the blonde. When Alex just looked up at her with her sad blue eyes, she went closer, "Oh sweetie. What's wrong?"

"You're not mad at me?"

"Why would I be mad?"

"Because of how I behaved last night! I was out of control Liv and I attacked you!" Alex sobbed.

Olivia crouched on the floor at Alex's feet, rested her hands on Alex's thighs, and looked up at her. Her brown eyes never left Alex's as she spoke, "Alex. It's okay. I could've stopped you if I wanted. And you just let your emotions get the better of you. It happens."

"No Olivia!" Alex tried to shove Liv's hands away but Liv refused to move. "It's not okay! Just because I was jealous doesn't give me the right to do what I did! I know you would never cheat on me but I was stupid."

"You weren't stupid. I understand."

"And it's worse than that!" Alex pushed on, "I probably hurt you. Did I hurt you Liv?" Alex reached out towards but didn't touch Liv's neck where she could see a severe amount of bruising. It pained Alex to know that she had marked her girlfriend so badly.

Olivia shook her head, "No you didn't hurt me. Sure I'm covered in hickies and I'm a little sore between the legs but it's not bad. It's a good kind of pain." Alex looked skeptical. "I swear Alex. I would tell you if you hurt me. And you didn't. Well. Not physically. But Al, do you really think that I am with you only because I don't want to be labelled as a cheater or whatever?"

At the hurt and sad look that formed on Liv's face, Alex started crying even harder, and she threw her arms around the detective's shoulders. "No!" she cried, "No. I don't think that. I don't truly think any of the things I said last night. It was so unbelievably wrong for me to say those things, but I swear I didn't mean them."

"Then you know that I'm with you because I love you, right?" Alex nodded. "And you know that I'm never going to leave you, right?" Again, a nod. "And you do understand that Casey is just a friend? That there's nothing more than friendship between us? Because not only is she straight but also because my heart belongs to you and only you."

"I know Liv. I do. It's just sometimes I can't think rationally when it comes to you. You're it for me too Liv. And I don't want to lose you."

Liv pulled back so she could look into Alex's eyes again as she said vehemently, "You're never going to lose me. I promise."

Alex tried to smile, "You can't promise that with your job Liv."

"Alright. You got a point. I'll be more specific," Liv reached up to gently grab Alex's face. "You're never going to lose my heart, not to another person, not in death. Never. That I CAN promise."

This time Alex smiled a real smile and whispered, "I love you Olivia."

"I love you too," Liv smiled back. "Now can I have a good morning kiss before I make some fresh coffee for us?"

Alex chuckled, "Do you really have to ask?" She leaned down and kissed Liv deeply, leaving the brunette breathless, her heart soring.

When they parted and rested their foreheads together, Liv said quietly with her voice full of awe, "What did I do to deserve you Alexandra?"

Alex was left speechless as Liv stood up and went to the coffee machine. After a moment, Alex stood and moved to hug her from behind. Alex kissed the back of her neck and whispered in her ear, "You were born."

Olivia melted in her arms. They had spent the whole day relaxing on their couch, watching movies in each other's arms.

The next big step in their relationship was finally meeting Alex's mother. Olivia remembered how she had been so nervous she hadn't slept at all the night before. And when it finally came time to get ready, Liv couldn't make up her mind about what she should wear. Should she wear a dress or pants? Should she get a haircut or just leave it shaggy? Should she wear casual clothes or fancy? Alex had said they were just going to a simple restaurant for dinner, but did "simple" mean the same thing for Olivia as it did for a Cabot? Eventually, she gave up and told Alex to pick out what she should wear. Alex was going in a pair of dark blue jeans, black heels, and a light blue blouse. She chose a similar outfit for Liv- black jeans, black boots, and her maroon blouse under her gorgeous leather jacket. But when she left Liv to dress, she found that Liv was shaking too badly to even button or zip up anything. "Liv baby," she had said soothingly, "Calm down. There's no need to be so nervous. My mother is going to love you. I promise."

Olivia chose to stay silent but continued to panic mentally. Alex drove to the restaurant and led Liv inside. She asked for the reservation under Cabot and was told that her mother was there already. Liv held Alex's hand in a death grip as they got closer to the table. Finally, Mrs. Cabot saw them, smiled widely, and stood to greet them. "Alexandra my darling! You look wonderful!"

Alex smiled and embraced her mother, "Thank you mom. So do you." Alex pulled back and looked to Liv. "Mom. I'd like you to meet Olivia. Olivia. This is my mother Veronica."

"Please dear. Call me Ronnie," she smiled sweetly as she held out her hand for Olivia to shake. She had gotten a call from her daughter about exactly how to act and what to say around Olivia. She admitted that Alex was quite scary sometimes and that was one of those times. She agreed to no physical signs of affection, though currently Ronnie was itching to hug the brunette who had stolen her daughter's heart, and no major compliments. She probably wouldn't stick to that long, but for now she would play by the rules to ease Alex.

Olivia smiled nervously and shook her hand, "Nice to meet you Mrs. Cabot."

"Ronnie dear. I hear 'Mrs. Cabot' and I think of my dear Ben's mother. Now that was one terrifying woman," she chuckled. "I promise I'm nothing like that, so I insist you call me Ronnie."

"Okay Ronnie."

She grinned, "Good. Now sit down, sit down! I want to hear all the details of how you two finally got together!"

"Mom!" Alex groaned. That had been another thing Alex told her not to ask about.

"Excuse me. But I'm the mother here. That means I have a right to know whatever it is I want to know. Don't make me result to bribery or even blackmail."

Olivia, despite her nerves, laughed at the look on Alex's face at that.

When Alex stayed silent, Ronnie grinned evily and looked at Olivia, "Did Alex tell you that until she reached the age of seven, I couldn't get her to keep her clothes on?"

As Olivia busted out laughing and looked at Alex with an Oh-reaaallllyyy look, Alex spluttered. "Oh my god! Mom!" Alex practically shouted, her face blushing deeply. "Alright alright. I'll tell you. Just no more of that."

Ronnie grinned victoriously and winked at Olivia, earning another giggle. With Ronnie's light-hearted, teasing spirit, Olivia warmed up rather quickly to the older woman and dinner passed by pretty quickly. Sometime during all their talking, laughing, and reminiscing they found themselves being asked to leave by the staff because they were closing. They made their way outside to their cars. Ronnie moved to hug Alex and said, "I had such a lovely time. We'll have to do this again soon."

"I agree. Thank you for dinner again."

"Yes thank you," Liv spoke, "I still feel like I should pay you back though."

"Absolutely not. Try it and I will just stuff the money back in your pocket."

Olivia chuckled and held up her hands in surrender before saying, "It was nice meeting you Ronnie" and holding out her hand.

Ronnie couldn't help herself. She ignored the hand and took Olivia in a hug. Liv was surprised but hugged back. "It was so nice to meet you too Olivia," she said warmly, "My daughter definitely proved she has good taste by falling for such a lovely, charming woman. Thank you for saving her." Olivia blushed and fought against the tears she felt pricking at her eyelids. She was happy to have Alex's mom's approval. When the older Cabot pulled away, she gently pushed Alex and Liv's sides together, "You two take care of each other alright. I can already tell that you two will be together for a very, very long time."

Liv's arm snaked around Alex's waist and Alex's went over Liv's shoulders. They shared a loving, knowing look. Ronnie was overjoyed that Alex had finally found love- even more so after seeing how good Olivia was for her. They said their goodbyes and agreed to meet for dinner again soon before they drove to their homes.

Dinner with Alex's mother became an almost-monthly thing. Sometimes Liv had work and they had to cancel but they would reschedule for as soon as they could. Alex and Olivia also saw Bill, Julie, and the kids quite often too. At first, Liv hadn't been sure how to handle them, but soon she was just another member of the family. She hadn't known that when she had fallen for and gotten together with Alex that she would also get a family, but it was something she was extremely grateful for. She had a job that made her happy, a family, and most of all, she had Alex. Speaking of, the blonde stirred a bit in Olivia's arms. Liv smiled at her affectionately and kissed her temple. She began kissing Alex everywhere she could without moving from her arms. Alex murmured and grunted until she finally woke up and smiled at her detective. "Mmm. Good morning beautiful," she croaked.

Liv smiled, "Morning gorgeous."

She took Alex in a gentle kiss. When they parted to breathe, Alex sighed happily, "Make love to me?"

Liv nuzzled her with her nose, "Always. But first. I gotta pee."

Alex laughed and dramatically rolled on to her back and splayed out her arms, "Way to kill the mood Liv."

Olivia laughed, "Oh hush. You'll have to go in a minute too; you just watch." She kissed Alex before jumping out of bed and to the bathroom to relieve herself. Sure enough, Alex was waiting for her turn when Liv came out. She laughed again. Alex stuck out her tongue. "Why don't you make yourself useful and go make us coffee?" she called teasingly over her shoulder.

Olivia pretended to be offended and gasped, "Oh I see how it is. I won't put out so I get bossed around."

Alex laughed, "You bet babe!" She closed the door, leaving Olivia laughing to herself as she went to the kitchen.

Truth was, the next big step in the relationship was coming soon. Olivia had already talked to Ronnie, Bill, and Julie for their blessing as well as Elliot, Cragen, Munch, Fin, Casey, and Liz. They had all expressed their joy and pride, and Cragen and Liz agreed immediately to time off. The final parts of the plan came together the day before and Liv was going to surprise Alex with it this morning and then they would leave later that night. As of tomorrow, they would be in the beautiful Bahamas, in a gorgeous hotel, where Liv would pamper Alex and show her just how much she loved her. Then when it felt right, she would get down on one knee and ask Alex to marry her. She had the ring all ready to be put on Alex's finger. Though naturally she was a little nervous, she had this distinct feeling that Alex would say yes. She was more and more sure of it with every passing moment. "Olivia!" she heard her love whine loudly from the bedroom, "Come back to bed and make love to me!"

Liv chuckled and called back, "Coming dear!" She quickly poured the coffee and lifted the mugs into her hands before heading towards the bedroom with a smile. She saw the beautiful blonde ADA in bed waiting for her, completely naked. She gave Liv a come-here look as she crooked her finger. Liv growled and placed the mugs down on the dresser. She'd wait to tell Alex about her plans later. Right now, she had the love of her life to make long, sweet, passionate love to. And she did. Over and over and over again.
