Elliot had forgotten that Kathy was going to visit her sister, girls' time.

"I made chicken piccata for you yesterday," she said to her husband before she left.

"All you have to do is heat it up."

"Thanks Dear," he kissed her on the cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"I miss you already."

He grumbled after she left. I hate chicken piccata. He flipped on the television and remembered there's a Yankee's game tonight.

"Maybe Liv and I can watch it." It's been a while since they've had a baseball and beer day.

He called her expecting her to be up. She didn't really sleep … ever.

Ring! Ring!


Olivia almost didn't wake up to the phone. She was nestled underneath the sheets with Alex's head resting on her breasts.

"Hello?" Olivia finally grabbed her cellphone on the fifth ring.

"Liv, it's Elliot. Are you busy this afternoon?"

"No," she grumbled. She wasn't really awake.

"How about we meet up later, baseball and beer?"

"Sure," she just wanted to get off the phone.

The game started at 4PM. "How about I bring the beer and you get the food?"

"Right!"

She sounded off. "I'll let you go now."

"Bye El…"

"Who was that?" Alex asked dreamily she was just starting to wake up.

"ElAhh!" Olivia yawned, trying to say Elliot, but she was too sleepy.

Alex closed her eyes again. They slept for another two hours.

When Olivia woke up again, Alex was straddled on her hips. At first the detective couldn't tell if she were dreaming. When Alex took Olivia's hands and brought them up to her breasts, she realized it was real.

"Touch me!" she said breathlessly.

Olivia didn't have to be told twice. Her hands moved up Alex's chest to her smooth shoulders, admiring her wife's slender form. She moved down the blonde's back to her hips and then along the back of her thighs.

"You're so perfect."

"How do you want me?" Saturday morning sex had become a staple for them.

"I want you to ride me!" She loved having Alex on top; well, she loved Alex in any position, but the blonde had a smooth, controlled way of moving when she was on top.


Before they moved to the final act, they spent plenty of time kissing and caressing each other, lips and fingertips roaming all over until they were both sopping.

The brunette slid the smaller end of their favorite toy inside of herself and leaned back.

Alex threw her leg over Olivia and then slid down slowly.

"OH FUCK!" Olivia grunted as Alex reached the hilt.

Alex grabbed her hands, kissing the back of each one before bringing them to her hips. The ADA then grabbed Olivia's shoulders and started to slowly move her hips back and forth.

They moved in perfect harmony, back and forth, up and down.

Olivia leaned forward, grabbing a perfectly pink nipple with her mouth and sucking on it.

"OH LIV!"

Blonde hair draped over Olivia's face as Alex leaned in closer.

Olivia pushed the hair away from her face so she could pull Alex into a passionate kiss. Strong hands latched onto the lawyer's shoulder blades. Both women started moving faster, more intently as they drove the other to climax.

A grunt escaped Olivia's mouth as she fell back onto the mattress. "Damn!"

Alex slumped next to her. "Do you want breakfast?"

Olivia nodded. "Let's go out." Alex did pretty much all the cooking. Olivia wanted to treat her this time.

"We should shower first." Alex had a lazy grin as she teased Olivia's abs.

"Together?"

"Don't we always."

"Someone kicked me out of her shower yesterday."

"We were late for work and we would have been later if you kept touching me."

Olivia kissed her nose. "We don't have work today."

"How about that shower?"

Twenty-five minutes later, they were on their way to Olivia's favorite diner.

Olivia had on a simple black tank top and jeans.

Alex couldn't help but grope her arms. "You're so hot."

Olivia laughed. "I aim to please."

Alex got in closer. "Oh you do, very much so."

Olivia was about to drag her back to bed but … "Food, we will get food!"

Hand in hand they walked to a ratty looking brick building. The sign was falling off and the window was covered in graffiti, but inside were the best pancakes in all of New York, according to Olivia anyway.

"Get ready for some good eats!"

A familiar face greeted Olivia. "Long time no see Hon!"

It was Susie, a longtime waitress at the Liberty Corner.

"I know. How have you been?"

"Great Hon, and who's this cutie with you?" It was about time Olivia settled down.

"This is Alex."

"Lovely to meet you Hon. Might I suggest the pancakes. They'll be the best you ever eat."

"So I've heard."

They got a table and Olivia ordered a carafe of coffee.

They had plain buttermilk pancakes, banana nut pancakes, peach, chocolate chip, and blueberry.

"Which one should I get?"

Olivia wanted the banana nut. "They're my favorite, but they're all good."

"If you're getting the banana nut, I'll get the peach." Alex loved peaches. Also, they came with candied pecans and maple anise syrup.

Olivia also got the platter of bacon for them to share and the goat cheese, basil, and sun dried tomato scones.

"You're gonna get me fat after this," Alex complained.

"I thought we could hit the gym later. You did want to go right."

Alex thought about it; Olivia all hot and sweaty in skimpy clothes. "Let's do it!"

The scones came first and when Alex took a bite, she moaned salaciously. "This is the best thing I've ever put in my mouth."

Olivia could watch her eat these scones all day. "I better get one before you eat them all," she teased.

"Puh! You're the fatty!"

Olivia could live off these scones. How were they so amazing?

The pancakes and bacon came next. They smelled heavenly. As soon as Alex got her plate, she could see the caramelized peaches and smell the cardamom and coriander.

"This looks too good to eat."

"I'll eat it," Olivia told her.

"You will not," Alex snapped.

Susie laughed. "Is this your first lover's quarrel?"

Both women turned red.

Alex took a good bite. There was sweetness from the peaches, salt that they had added to the syrup, and a complex array of spices that were perfectly balanced. The pancakes were fluffy and buttery and oh so good. "Holy hell, these are amazing!"

Olivia nodded. "I told ya so!" The detective grabbed some bacon to add to her plate. It was cut in house and just perfect.

Susie came back to check on them. "How are you liking the pancakes?"

"I want to kidnap the chef and have these every day, on demand."

Susie laughed. "I'll be sure to let her know you liked it. Can I get you anything else?"

"A pair of fat pants?"

"Ah, Liv should have told you to wear your sweatpants. She's done that a number of times here."

"Shh!"


They both needed to digest before they were in any condition to go to the gym.

Two hours later, Olivia put on a white racer back t-shirt and black basketball shorts that she liked to lift in.

Alex put on her running clothes, a pink tank top and pink and blue little running shorts.

Olivia saw her legs and groaned. "You work out in that?"

Alex nodded. "It's comfortable. Why?"

"Do you get hit on a lot while you run?"

Alex thought for a moment. "I guess … oh!"

Olivia's heart skipped a beat. "Those legs, they're going to be the death of me."

They walked to the gym. It was only four blocks from the apartment, which is why Olivia signed up with them in the first place, and they had a discount for law enforcement.

"I get two guest passes per month," Olivia told her as they stepped inside.

On the ground floor, there was the reception desk and the waiting area. The weights and studios were upstairs.

When they got upstairs, the first thing Alex saw were the curl bros, all of them in a line, simultaneously doing their reps and grunting.

Olivia guided her to the squat racks in the back, away from the wandering eyes.

They started with a warm up of pushups, walking lunges, and inverted rows.

Olivia had never really trained anyone else before. She usually just lifted on her own. "Why don't we start with squats?"

Olivia adjusted the bar, so it would be at the right height for her. Alex was a bit taller, but it shouldn't be too hard for her to unrack the weight.

Unsure of where to start, she told Alex to try the bar, which was 45lbs.

"I'll demonstrate," Olivia stepped up to the bar, unracked it with the bar over her upper back and took a step back. She slowly descended until her hips were lower than her knees and then she drove through her heels back up to the bar.

Alex already knew how to lift. When she played soccer at UCLA, they would lift twice a week. She didn't tell this to Olivia, however. It was fun to have the brunette teach her.

"Will you spot me?"

"Of course."

Olivia stood behind Alex and shadowed her as the blonde unracked the bar. She smells like peaches! It was hard not to be distracted; luckily, Alex squatted the bar easily.

Seeing how swiftly Alex moved the bar, Olivia added 25lbs to each side.

"How about you do five and then we'll switch?"

Alex nodded and started to lift. The blonde did three sets all with the same weight. Olivia, on the other hand, did ramping sets, each one heavier than the one before it. By the end, she was squatting 225lbs. Not an easy task since she only weighed 140.

Alex loved the serious look Olivia had on her face while she lifted. She looked ready to get in a fight with the bar and beat it up.

"What are we doing next?"

After squats, they did incline bench, deadlifts, pullups (Alex needed a resistance band) and weighted cable crunches.

By the end of it, Alex was tired.

"How about we get out of here and take a hot bath?"

Inquiring eyes from around the room watched them.

Olivia smirked and put her hand on Alex's lower back. "Let's roll."

They were almost back to the apartment, when Olivia got a call from Elliot.

What does he want? "Hey El, what's going on?"

"I'll be at your place in about 15 minutes."

"We catch a case?" I hope not.

"No, for the baseball game."

"We had plans?" She didn't remember this.

"I called you this morning."

She squinted trying to remember. "Oh yeah. I went right back to sleep after you called. I must have forgot."

That wasn't like Liv at all. "Can you get the food, or should I get that too?"

"I can get the food." What am I going to get? Wings?

"I'll see you soon."

By the time Olivia got off the phone, they were in front of the apartment.

"Who was that?"

"It was Elliot. I forgot he was coming over to watch the baseball game."

Alex's eyes got huge. "He's coming HERE! Our apartment is a mess!" Alex usually cleaned on Sundays. The blonde stormed into cleaning mode, grabbing any askew article of clothing and shoving it into the hamper, cleaning off counter tops, and dishes, and she was able to give the room a quick vacuum.

Olivia, on the other hand, was looking for something to order. "Hi, can I get an order of the deluxe wings?"

"…"

"The Thai chili and the honey mustard."

"…"

"A large order Cajun waffle fries and a 2L coke."

"…"

"Thank you."

Olivia turned around to see Alex scrubbing away.

"Allie, it's fine. Elliot's never seen this place clean anyway."

"I don't want people thinking we live in squalor."

We live … "SHIT!"

"What?"

"Elliot doesn't know we live together." He doesn't know we are together.

"Ring! Ring!'
