Wildfire

Days After

Hello, back at it with a new story.

Elliot growled lowly and punched the wall of the shower lightly. Well, lightly for him. It didn't leave a hole in the wall like the dents in his locker at the Station House. He was in the bathroom at his house trying to shower. His mind kept going back to Olivia and her body pressed against his at the apartment. Her voice as she came back out in her bra and hair undone still sent shivers up his spine. 

He needed to get a hold on himself. He nearly lost the case because he didn't think that she would have stuck around and risk ruining his cover over a phone. He would have figured out a way to get a message to Cragen. As the water ran over his body, he imagined what would have happened if Bushido and Tybor had left them alone. A lot of awkwardness or would they have had to do something in case they kept a lookout outside?

"Son of a bitch," he muttered as he felt his erection growing. He turned around to flip the water to cold. He couldn't be in here that long. Little Eli was sick with a fever and Kathy had been up all day with him. He needed to be a father right now. 

About ten minutes later, Elliot came out in his pajama bottoms and went to Eli's room that used to be Maureen's. He was sleeping soundly right now, but if he was right, Eli would start to fuss in about five minutes and need rocking back to sleep. He wouldn't get much sleep tonight anyway. Thoughts of Olivia still ran free in his head. He wondered if she was thinking of him as well.

Liv was tossing and turning. She had fallen into a very uneven sleep. Dreams of Elliot kept popping up and telling her random things that he shouldn't even be thinking about. She kept going back to the feeling of his chest against the palm of her hands, the feeling of his heart so close to her near naked chest. 

More than once she thought of a random sexual scene as she was falling asleep which probably had a hand in her dreams. The ache in her groin was more of a nuisance at the time of her falling asleep, but once she woke up with dream Elliot saying he would leave Kathy for her, the ache turned to burning desire. She turned to look at the clock on her nightstand. 4 am. She would have to get up in a few hours. She needed to get a little more sleep. He'd said before she got out of the vehicle that most likely he wouldn't be getting a lot of sleep tomorrow, which meant that at least one of them needed a clear mind. 

She could take care of herself real quick and go back to sleep. However, it almost felt like crossing a line by masturbating to a dream Elliot. Instead she got up to take a quick cold shower then head back to bed where she fell, once again, into an uneven and disturbed sleep about her partner. Her married partner.

The next morning, Elliot showed up at 730 am with coffee. Two for him, one for her. She giggled at him and took her coffee with a smirk. "Eli's fussing last night costed me four hours of sleep," he complained. 

"How is the little guy?" Olivia asked casually as Elliot went to sit on the couch. They didn't have to be in until 8 and while they probably should get going now, she let him rest for a moment and went to sit beside him. 

She could almost feel the heat of his skin through his suit jacket as she sat beside him and drank her coffee. He grunted. "Tired, fussy, feverish, and loud." He rubbed the bridge of his nose and groaned. 

Liv reached a hand out to rub his back soothingly. "Maybe Cragen will let you catch a couple if it's not too hectic," she suggested. He laughed doubtfully. 

"It's been way too busy lately. We still have Gother's rape case to go over in final details before Alex gets the case," he countered. She grunted in agreement. "We better get going," he said, getting up. He walked to throw away one of his empty coffee mugs and started drinking the other one. 

"Want me to drive?" She asked. He halted, thinking. "Yeah, you better." 

He must be really tired to not even argue or joke about me driving.
