A parallel universe

Chapter Fourteen

When Liv got home she sent the babysitter home and told Noah to pick a movie for them to watch on the couch. Whilst he did that she went into her bedroom to change.
"Okay, have you picked a movie yet?" She yelled to him as she moved into the living room, she froze when she met Elliot's eyes.
"Hey Liv"
"Elliot, what are you doing here?"
"Noah invited me over"
"Noah?"
"I did. Elliot's your boyfriend and I want to get to know him some more. Is that okay?" He smiled, making Olivia smile.
"That's more than okay" She crossed the room and took Noah's head in her hands before she placed a kiss to his forehead.
"I made popcorn" El smiled. Liv joined the pair on the couch, sitting next to Noah who was in-between them both.
"What are we watching?" Liv asked.
"Bumblebee" Noah smiled, pressing play. Elliot's arm moved along the back of the couch, squeezing Liv's shoulder lightly. As the movie played Liv could feel Elliot's hand grazing her sleeved arm or sneaking a touch of her skin on her neck. After the movie had finished Liv tucked a very sleepy Noah into bed and moved back into the kitchen where Elliot was washing the dishes.
"You have no idea how hot you look right now" She sighed contentedly as she moved behind him, lying her head against his spine.
"He go down okay?"
"Yeah. Thank you, he really enjoyed tonight"
"I'm glad. Did you enjoy it?"
"Yes. I like it when both my boys are happy" She smiled. Elliot placed the last glass on the counter and switched off the tap before he dried off his hands. Elliot turned in her arms before he slipped his hands into hers.
"Come on, let's get to bed" He tugged her towards the bedroom but she pulled back.
"I-"
"No sex. I just want to hold you close" She nodded and let him tug her towards the bedroom. Liv moved to lie down on her side of the bed, she watched Elliot slip off his jeans, t-shirt and socks before he climbed in next to her, letting her cuddle up to his side.
"How do we always know what the other is thinking?" She asked out loud.
"We're psychic" He teased.
"Maybe we've just been around each other too much"
"It's never too much when it comes to you" He admitted, kissing the top of her head "Go to sleep Olivia"
"I love you El" She muttered against his chest as she closed her eyes.
"I love you more Liv" He muttered against the top of her head.

Olivia awoke before her alarm could ring, she reached over and switched it off before she noticed Elliot's erection poking against the base of her spine. She tried to pull herself out of his arms but his grip on her tightened.
"Where do you think you're going?" His breath tickled her neck.
"Noah's going to be up soon"
"After last night, I can be quick" He kissed the spot behind her ear and she could already feel herself wavering.
"We don't have time" She tried to push his hips away but his hand gripped her hip, pressing his hips against her ass.
"I'll be quick. I bet you're ready for me. I can already taste you" His hand moved upwards to cover her throat when the door flew open. Olivia yanked herself out of his arms and shot up in bed.
"Noah" Olivia clutched her chest.
"Sorry, I scared you. Elliot can you make pancakes?"
"Seriously Noah?" Liv groaned.
"What?" Elliot laughed at the oblivious boy.
"I'll make pancakes. We'll be out in a sec buddy" El smiled, sending the boy running off again.
"No running in the house!" Liv called to him before she slumped back against the headboard, El laughed beside her "I'm sorry, he's not used to me having someone in my bed"
"It's fine. It reminds me of when my kids were little" He smiled fondly.
"We'd better get out there before he comes back"
"Yeah, just give me another minute or two"
"Seriously?"
"You have a strange power over me Olivia Benson" He smiled, watching as she disappeared in the direction of the living room.

When El emerged from the bedroom Noah was sat at the counter while Liv was making coffee. The ingredients for the pancakes were already on the counter so he started making them. Liv stood at the counter, sipping her coffee.
"I think we need a new rule. That you knock on my bedroom door before you enter when Elliot is here"
"Why? Is it because you're going to have sex?" Liv froze, her brain shutting down.
"I...we...erm"
"That's what grown ups do sometimes buddy" El intervened.
"Okay, I'll knock. I don't want to see you naked" He grimaced, earning laughs from them both as El transferred a pancake to his plate. Liv moved behind him, leaning in close to El's ear.
"And we need to start locking the door" she whispered.

Liv headed into work, looking down at the sweet text that El had sent her whilst she was driving: Have a good day Cap. I love you x
"Morning Liv" Fin called from his desk, pulling her out of her phone.
"Hey, morning" She smiled.
"How's your boys?" Fin asked, making her smile double.
"They're good but Noah asked if El and I were going to have sex, so my day got off to a great start" She grimaced.
"Noah seriously asked that?" Fin smirked.
"Yeah, after I asked him to start knocking on my bedroom door when El sleeps over"
"Sounds like you brought that on yourself"
"Oh yeah, I definitely did" She laughed. Her phone bleeped in her hand and she quickly clicked on the message: Can we make movie nights a regular thing? Maybe grown up ones too ;-)
"What are you smiling at?" Fin asked.
"The Captain is in love" Bruno teased in a singsong voice.
"Someone wants to get fired" She teased back.
"But you are" He shot back, earning a roll of her eyes.
"Get back to work Bruno" She ordered gently before she headed towards her office, typing a quick message back to El: Definitely to both ;-)
