Olivia sighed looking back out over the lake in front of them. The sun had finally dipped below the horizon, leaving only the slightest hint on a pinkish hue across the water. The picnic in front of them was gone, and the fall air was starting to get a chill to it. The picnic had been a surprise that Olivia had planned for Alex to get them both away from the tension of their jobs. It was a great day, both of them had laughed, relaxed, and their stress had seemed to melt away.

Alex, sitting next to her, held her knees to her chest as she stared forward, looking out over the water with an absent look in her eyes. The wind gently blew her hair away from her face as she smiled at something that was only apparent in her own mind.

"You ready?" Olivia asked absently, as she looked at Alex and smiled.

"I guess," Alex sighed, not moving from her spot on the blanket.

With another sigh, Olivia stood, stretching for a moment before reaching her hands down to pull Alex to her feet. Catching her, Olivia placed a small kiss on her neck before letting her go. Alex smiled her and pushed her away. "Incorrigible." She whispered under her breath while Olivia laughed lightly. They started walking slowly back to the car, almost shyly.

"You gonna let me drive?" Olivia asked with a smile.

"I don't know," Alex said with a teasing smile. "I don't know that you even appreciate her," she said, rubbing her hand over the pearl hood of her car as she leaned gently against it, appraising Olivia as she approached with a grin lighting her face.

"Her?" Olivia laughed.

Alex smiled back seductively. "She's my baby." With a grin at Olivia, she let her fingers run gently down the hood as she watched Olivia's eyebrow raise.

"I thought that's what you said about me," Liv laughed again as she took a step closer to Alex closing in on her personal space.

"Different category." Alex smiled, as she looped her fingers through the detective's belt loops and pulled her closer, letting her head rest on Olivia's shoulder.

"I promise to appreciate her." Olivia said.

"I don't know," Alex said with a smile, "What is it exactly that you love about her?"

"Her power. The control. I like the sound she makes when I'm behind the wheel." Olivia said wiggling her eyebrows with a teasing nip at Alex's neck. Alex giggled, as she wondered suddenly whether either of them were really talking about the car anymore. Olivia looked deep into her eyes, and carefully pushed a piece of Alex's soft blonde hair behind her ear, letting her fingers run a gentle trail down Alex's chin. Olivia's proximity had an intoxicating effect on her. She felt her heart rate triple as the autumn air carried a smoky breath out of her mouth. Willing her mind to take control, she took a deep breath and pushed Olivia back.

"Come on," Alex said. "We should get in." She dangled the keys from her finger as Olivia smiled and pulled them off.

Instead of getting into the car, Olivia held Alex close and looked into Alex's eyes with a mischievous grin. Alex looked at her with a questioning glare as she followed Olivia's eyes to the backseat of the car.

"No." Alex said as she caught the flicker in Olivia's eyes.

"Come on, live a little Alex." Olivia smiled.

"No." Alex repeated. "Absolutely not."

Olivia smiled, and tilted her head at Alex, begging permission without saying a word.

"We could get caught. We probably will get caught." Alex protested.

"We could." Olivia agreed. "But isn't everything in life that's exciting risky?" She asked. "Maybe even worth the risk?" She ventured. She watched as Alex's eyes went from the back seat of the car to her. Alex bit her lip as she pondered the question. They were in the middle of nowhere. But if they got caught? Would either of them ever live it down?

"So you're willing to risk everything?" Alex asked her. "The lives we know? Is that what you're telling me?" She asked. "You're willing to throw it all away just to fuck in the back of my car?" She asked with a quiet sense of seduction that Olivia recognized immediately. She realized how close Alex was to giving in and she couldn't deny her own excitement at the prospect of taking Alex right there and then.

"To fuck you in the back of your car." Olivia corrected. She heard herself forcing bravado into her voice as she came up with her answer. "Yeah. I guess I am," she said seductively as she leaned in and kissed Alex just below her ear, a spot that Olivia knew made Alex's knees go weak.

Alex could feel the handle of the door behind her back, pressing into her as Olivia closed the distance between them. The look in Olivia's eyes didn't make her choice easier as her mind raced through consequences while her body gave her its own series of responses to Olivia's query.

In a moment, her decision was made as all her willpower collapsed and her body took over her mind. Alex's mouth came down on Olivia's in a deep kiss. Olivia's hands reached for her hips as she pulled Alex into her, closing all the space between them. Alex's mouth was hungry and demanding, sucking the air from Olivia's lungs and causing her to moan involuntarily. It was a kiss that lit Olivia's body on fire immediately, every fiber of her coming alive in a second making her core pulse. She could feel her whole body responding to the sudden contact, as they fumbled backwards against the car.

"Get in," Olivia moaned into Alex's mouth as she fought to keep their lips together while pushing them both into the car, pulling the door shut behind her.

The inside of the car was dark and warmer than the air. As they slid across the seat, Olivia could hear the sound of Alex's jeans sliding against the leather. She pulled at Alex's shirt, sliding her hands over the soft skin of her stomach, roaming up her body as their mouths stayed locked together. The faintest glow of the moon lit the car, just enough to make the inside of the car dark and surreal. It was the kind of light that would allow both of them to wake up in the morning and tell themselves that they hadn't done what they were about to do.

Olivia fumbled with Alex's zipper, which in the quiet interior of the car sounded like a train coming through the darkness. Alex's back arched to allow Olivia access to slide her pants off her hips and down her legs enough to gain the leverage she needed. Alex moaned as Olivia pounced back on her in a second; her fingers, lips, and tongue started their full on assault. Alex felt herself going from slick to soaked as her breath tore from her chest. She felt her body clenching around something that wasn't even there yet, as she whimpered for Olivia to move lower. In moments she was dancing on the line, sliding down the razor edge of orgasm, but she didn't want to come just yet.

"Please," she managed to gasp and was surprised to hear the word come out all breathy and strangled. It sounded foreign in her ears. She reached desperately for the button on Olivia's jeans as the sound of a second zipper broke the silence in the car. The sound alone made her body light back up. She was being killed slowly—and amazing death, and she was determined to take Olivia with her. Seconds later, she had Olivia on the verge with her, as Olivia's hot ragged breath played in her ears.

"I'm gonna…" Olivia whispered in her ear between heavy breaths.

"Me too…" Alex moaned.

"Come for me," Olivia whispered back. Alex's body tensed below her, and Olivia kissed her deeply to stifle the scream she knew would come from the blonde's lips. Knowing she wasn't far behind, Olivia took a deep breath and let her body take over while Alex gently pulled her over the edge.

Olivia groaned and let herself fall into Alex's sweat soaked body. For a few seconds, the two rested together in total silence, their breath the only sound cutting through the air.

Olivia laid her head between Alex's breasts. "Was it worth it? The risk?" she whispered.

Alex nodded, studying the light coming in through the windows. "Yes," she whispered back, catching her breath.

It will be next time too, she thought, and that was the precise moment she knew that she was hopelessly under Olivia Benson's spell.
