Menage
By Thunder

Alex sighed, staring at the brief in her hand. She'd read the same paragraph four times, and still hadn't seen one word. Her mind kept replaying the signals she'd been picking up from a co-worker. Normally, depending on who it was, she'd either frost them, or explain that she NEVER dated anyone she worked with. A smile played as she realized the fallacy of that idea. A pair of arms wrapped themselves around her from behind, and soft lips left gentle kisses on her neck.

" Oh, Fin, I thought you'd never get here." Alex couldn't suppress her moan as Olivia stopped kissing and started biting her.

" Fin, huh? Is HE the reason I've been talking to you and you never answered? " Olivia smiled as she felt the blonde shudder when she bit a little harder on Alex's neck, right where her shoulder joined.

" No,it...it was someone else."Alex stuttered, grabbing the arms of her chair as it was spun around. Olivia looked at her, hands on her hips, a puzzled expression on her face.

" Someone else? Are you bored with me already?"

" Oh, gods no. I don't think I could ever get bored with you. Worn out, exhausted, fucked senseless, maybe, but never bored."

" Then, what's the problem?"

Alex hesitated, remembering how hard it had been to restrain her girlfriend the LAST time she told her someone had been hitting on her. A hand on her arm brought her back to the present. Alex decided to bite the bullet.

" Do you remember the, uh, 'little problem' I had last year? With my new intern?" Alex reveled in the look on Olivia's face. Very rarely did she get to see the possessiveness that Olivia had for her. That look spoke more of the quiet detective's feelings than anything else ever could.

" He didn't learn his lesson, is that what you're saying?" Olivia's smile was the one she reserved for the scum she had to interview on a daily basis. In fact, that smile was the last thing Cesar Velez ever saw, right before Olivia shot him.

Alex laughed." No, honey, he definitely learned. I think today was his last court appearance on the parking tickets." It still amazed her how Olivia had gotten so many beat cops to issue all those tickets." When I left the court room, he was STILL trying to explain to the judge that it was a conspiracy against him."

" I bet the judge liked that defense."

" Well, she did use the words 'contempt of court' a few times. It just made him whine even more." Alex's eyes sparkled as she recalled the conversation she had had with the judge at lunch that day.

" Hey, let me in on it, too. I could use a good laugh." Olivia's jaw dropped while Alex told her about her lunch time chat. "You told a JUDGE what I did? "

" 'Liv, you really think Abbie is gonna go after you for that? All she did was tell me not to let you do that to Southerlyn."Alex shut up, hoping against hope that Olivia hadn't quite caught that part. Hope lost.

" Why would I do that to Serena? She's.." Olivia stared at Alex. " Serena's been hitting on you?" She got up and wandered around the living room, thinking. Finally, she looked at Alex. " So, Counselor, how do you feel about it?"

" Honestly?"

" Yes. Complete and utter truth."

" Ok. Complete truth. If we weren't together, I'd be wrapped around her." Alex wasn't prepared for the arousal that jumped into Olivia's eyes." Why do you ask?"

Olivia just smiled. ' This oughtta go over real well.' " I was just curious. And, you aren't the only one she's been coming on to." Her smile got even bigger as comprehension slapped Alex in the face. She loved watching Alex when she was jealous, probably because no one had ever cared about her enough before. Olivia stopped Alex before she could get completely wound up.

" Alex. Stop. She has no clue about us, right?"

" No, she doesn't. She would have said something about it by now if she did." That was one of the things Alex admired about Serena. Didn't matter what it was, if she had an opinion about it, Serena told you about it." I told you my thoughts about her. What are yours?"

" Truth? I would probably be late for work. Again."

The two stared at each other, smiling as the same thought crossed both minds. Olivia broke the silence. " Are you gonna ask her out, or am I?"



Part 2

Serena Southerlyn was a mess. She had tried on almost everything in her closet, but still couldn't decide what to wear. Finally, she settled on the tried and true method. Closing her eyes, she put on the first shirt she grabbed. Assessing herself in the mirror, Serena replayed her conversation with Alex earlier in the day.

#########################################

Serena looked around Alex's office, waiting for her to get off of the phone. She still hadn't figured out why Alex had called her anyway. Alex's final words brought her out of her reverie.

" Fine. Man 2, 12.5 to 25. Send the paperwork over when you get done." Alex smiled at her guest. " Sorry to make you wait."

" Not a problem. I was just wondering why you called me over here."

Alex rose from her chair and shut her office door. When she reached her desk, she stopped in front of Serena, and leaned back, one hip resting on the corner of her desk.

" Relax, Serena, it has nothing to do with work. I was just wondering if you'd like to go out tonight and have a few drinks. We've worked in the same office for quite a while, and never associated outside the office. Who knows, maybe we'll see something we like."

After agreeing to be picked up at 7:00 o'clock, Serena somehow made it through the door and back to her office.

#######################################

A knock on her door brought Serena out of her ruminations. Looking through the peephole, she was a little disappointed that it wasn't Alex. Opening the door as far as the security chain allowed, she addressed the man standing there.

" Can I help you?"

" Ms. Southerlyn? Ms. Cabot sends her regrets. She had to stay a little late, but sent me to pick you up. She said to tell you that she would meet you there."

Serena walked down with Alex's driver. As he opened the limo door for her, she had no idea how her evening was going to end.



Part 3

Olivia stood by the pool tables, sipping her drink. The pool tables were the best place in Gryff's to see, and not be seen. She could watch Alex's table without fear of easily being caught. She smiled as she watched Alex stand and greet Serena. Her smile grew. Both blonds were beautiful, but tonight, they were stunning. Alex had opted for tight jeans, boots, and a sleeveless dark blue silk blouse. Serena was in jeans,boots, and a green blouse. She looked down at her own clothes, chuckling. There was no way she could be taken as femme tonight. Black work boots,black jeans and a white tuxedo shirt with her leather jacket just screamed 'butch'. Olivia caught the waitress' eye and sent two drinks to Alex's table.

Alex stood up and waved at Serena. Her breath caught in her throat, she could only stare, as most of the other patrons were, as Serena made her way to the booth. She swallowed the lump in her throat and spoke.

" Damn, Southerlyn, I think people just got whiplash from watching you."

Serena blushed. Her appraising glance ran over Alex. " I'm sure I wasn't the only one, Cabot."

Alex just laughed and gestured for Serena to sit. As she was looking for a waitress, one came from behind her, carrying two drinks. Serena raised an eyebrow at Alex, who just shrugged.

" Okay, ladies, I have one Perfect Margarita, extra salt."

Serena raised her hand.

" There ya go, hon. That means you get the Absolut Mudslide."

Alex accepted her drink, reaching for her money. The waitress stopped her. " They've already been paid for,hon. Enjoy."

The two women just stared at each other as the waitress walked away.

" I wonder who did this." Serena was busy licking some of the salt from the rim of her glass, never noticing Alex slam back half her drink.

' Damn you Benson.' " I don't know. But, why turn down free drinks." Alex was on the verge of babbling. Trying to get the image of Serena's tongue in other places out of her mind, she finished her drink.

Olivia couldn't help herself. She sent the waitress back with more drinks. She could not remember ever seeing Alex this flustered, and was prepared to pay whatever she had to after all was said and done.

Serena was having a hard time controlling herself. The combination of the drinks she'd had, and her feelings for the woman across from her were playing merry hell with her self control. Looking around, trying to get her mind off of Alex, the atmosphere of the bar finally registered.

"Alexandra Cabot, you took me to a gay bar?"


Part 4

" Alexandra Cabot, you took me to a gay bar?"

Alex looked at Serena, trying to gauge the other woman's reaction. To her relief, Serena didn't seem to be upset.

" Well, considering how hard you've been coming onto me lately, it seemed appropriate."

Serena flushed, but never broke eye contact.

" I wasn't sure. You barely pinged, so I thought it was worth a shot. If I had been wrong, well, no harm, no foul."

" No, you weren't wrong." Alex looked into the hopeful eyes across from her. "But, Ser', I have to be one hundred percent honest. I can't be any less than that with you." Seeing Serena get ready to leave, Alex grabbed her hand, trying to ignore the electric shock she got from the contact." Stay,please. I won't bite." She grinned." Unless, of course, you ask me to. "

Serena shook her head, trying to make the images THAT statement caused to go away for a while. " Okay, start talking. Before I come over there and sit on your lap." Serena heard a voice, deep in her head, screaming at her. The heat in Alex's eyes, added to the way her hand squeezed Serena's, made it very easy to ignore.

Alex turned Serena's hand over, and began to gently trace patterns on her skin. Coming to a decision, she abruptly stood up." How about we dance first, and talk on the floor. Then, if you still want to, you can sit on my lap."

Olivia watched Alex and Serena walk to the dance floor. As did the rest of the bar. The two had been putting off enough UST to affect everyone there. Especially Olivia, who had no small case of it herself. Accepting her drink from the waitress, she sipped her fourth Absolut Cape Cod and watched her girlfriend dance with another woman.

Alex and Serena fit perfectly as they moved to the sound of Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock. Serena pulled her head off of Alex's shoulder. " You said you had something to tell me?"

Alex sighed and held Serena a little closer. She didn't want her to bolt. " Okay, here goes." Alex grabbed Serena's chin, forcing her to look at her." First of all, you have to stop hitting on my girlfriend." She waited a beat for her dance partner to catch on. Serena tried to get loose as the meaning of Alex's words sunk in.

"Oh, god, Alex,I had no clue. I didn't know or I wouldn't have.."

Alex could only think of one way to stop the incoherent flow of words. Leaning down, she placed what was supposed to be a quick kiss on Serena's lips. It didn't stay that way for long. As soon Alex applied a little pressure, Serena moaned and hung onto Alex for dear life.

An insistent voice was screaming at Serena.' She's dating BENSON, moron! She's taken. By a friend of yours, no less. You have to stop.' Serena reluctantly listened to her voice of reason. Pulling back, she broke one of the most pleasurable kisses she'd ever had.

" Cabot, if you have that gorgeous woman waiting at home, why the HELL are you here, with me?" A horrifying thought started running through her head. " You aren't trying to use me to get back at her for some reason, are you?"

Alex just laughed. Smiling, she shook her head. " No, Serena, I'm not using you. I hope you know I wouldn't do that to you. Or Olivia."

" Then, what's going on. I don't understand."

Alex started dancing again. " I'll explain everything while we dance."

Olivia couldn't believe how erotic it was watching Alex kiss Serena. She was tempted to go down to the dance floor and cut in, but decided against it. There was just something so,... intriguing about how the other two were reacting to each other. Olivia was surprised to realize that she was not feeling jealous or insecure. Maybe she had been right.

Serena couldn't stop giggling as she and Alex walked, hand in hand, back to their booth. " Olivia must have been PISSED if she kept that ticket scam running for that long. I know David's been bitching about it for ever."

" Yeah, I finally got her to stop last month." Alex slid into the booth." Aren't you going to get in?"

" I seem to recall being told that the seating arraignment was open to change." Serena had no idea of the effect that teasing statement would have on her date. Alex's eyes turned almost black, and her breathing was more like panting.

" By all means, Serena. Have a seat." Alex could remember only one other time her voice had been that deep and raspy. As she started to turn sideways, Serena stopped her.

" Don't move. I know just how I 'm gonna get there." Serena scooted the table back just enough for her to be able to straddle Alex's thighs. She settled in, knees and shins resting on the seat, her ass firmly planted on Alex's thighs. She was unable to suppress a low moan as Alex's hands roamed, starting with her shoulders and ending at the small of her back. Her moan got louder as she felt teeth and lips working the hollow of her throat, then slowly work up and down her neck. Serena leaned down to whisper in Alex's ear.

" Much more of that and we might have a small problem."

" And what problem is that?" Alex couldn't stop dropping small kisses on Serena's neck.

" Alex, I'm a screamer."


Part 5

"A screamer, huh?" Olivia had been able to walk,unnoticed, to the booth. Both of the other women jumped, Alex reflexively pulling Serena closer. " The way I see it, we have three options. One, I can play jealous girlfriend, start a fight, and we leave the bar separately. Two, I slide in and join you, giving these people a REALLY good show, and we leave together. Three, well, let's just say I have my badge and both sets of cuffs." Olivia knew she got their attention with number three." Any way we play it, we'll still end up at Alex's, and then we can see just how loud you are, Serena."

One word came out of two mouths. " Cuffs."

Olivia grinned. " Take a swing at me, Serena, and let's play." She took a step back, just before Serena threw a backhand at her. Olivia let just enough of the cop in her loose to make it look real. She put her arms under Serena's, trying to grab hold and pull her off of Alex. Since Alex still had a death grip on Serena, it made for some interesting touching, done where no one could see exactly what Olivia was doing with her hands, and to whom. Because of the way she was standing, Olivia's mouth was next to Serena's ear. She used that fact to whisper instructions.

" Southerlyn, let go of Alex. I'm gonna swing you around and set you on the floor. Ready?"

At Serena's slight nod, Olivia braced herself and picked Serena up and over. Barely giving her time to catch her balance, Olivia pushed her towards the wall.

"Against the wall. Now." Olivia positioned Serena's hands on the wall, then pushed her ankles apart with one foot. Before she could start patting her down, Olivia felt someone grab her arm. Reaching out, she got a handful of Alex. As they wrestled, Olivia noticed they definitely had an audience, and their mood wasn't too pleasant. A clicking sound behind her made Olivia reach slowly for her gun, ready to push Alex out of the way.

" Is there a problem, Ol...officer?"

Olivia got Alex against the wall before she turned to answer. She raised an eyebrow at the shotgun that was pointing at the floor.

" No problem, G.G., just a couple of overly enthusiastic women."

" Can I ask what they did?" The bar owner knew damn good and well who Olivia and Alex were, and figured that it was some sort of police operation.

Olivia grinned, knowing she was going to pay for her next statement." We've been getting complaints about a blonde tag team picking up women in bars, going home with them, and robbing them blind." Her grin got bigger when she heard Alex and Serena muttering behind her.

G.G. Looked hard at the detective, and saw a quick twinkle in her eyes. Uncocking her shotgun,she smiled. " Well, if you don't mind, could you get them cuffed and outta here? "

Olivia walked back over to Serena and started patting her down. Reaching up, she grabbed Serena's left wrist and brought her arm down and behind her, all the while whispering what she was doing. " I'm going to put the cuffs on, but I won't hook 'em too tight, ok?" She was very pleasantly surprised at Serena's answer. " Not too loose, either." Olivia clicked the cuffs, one ratchet at a time, until Serena moaned. After she was done, she did the same thing to Alex. As she was walking them to the door, she reached into her pocket and got her cell phone. After dialing, she waited for the ring.

" Yeah, this is Benson. I have two suspects in that thievery case... oh, really? Caught 'em in the act, huh. Yeah, I'm still bringin' them in. One swung on me, then the other jumped in. No, I've got room in my car."

G.G. was waiting by the door. When the three women got close enough, she opened it and escorted them out. After checking to see if any one was watching, she gave Alex a quick hug and peck on the cheek." Never thought I'd see YOU hauled outta here in cuffs. It's kinda cute." G.G. walked over to Serena, looking her over." So, Benson, another playmate? I figured THAT one would be enough."

Olivia and Alex just grinned. They had known the bar owner for years. She had, in fact been very instrumental in getting them together.

" And what is your name, dear?"

"Serena."

" And you know these two how?" G.G. was enjoying herself immensely.

" She's a co-worker, Gryff, leave it alone for now." Alex was ready to go home and finish what had started in the bar.

" One last question, dear, and I'll stop." Gryff looked at Olivia. " Who the hell did you call, and why?"

"Well, it looked more real, with me 'calling in', right?" Olivia chuckled." And besides, I'll probably keep that message I left on my machine."



Part 6

Olivia put Alex and Serena in the back seat of her car, unlocking one of Alex's wrists and putting the key in her hand. After making sure they were comfortable, she got behind the wheel and drove off. Occasional glimpses in the rear view mirror showed Alex and Serena, kissing and cuddling. She was amused to notice that they each had only one hand out of the cuffs.

Kissing wasn't all they were doing. Using Olivia's own tactics, they were plotting her pleasant demise at the hands of two very horny blondes.

" A blonde tag team huh. You wanna show her what a good tag team can do?" Alex whispered in between kisses.

" Sounds good to me Alex, but I really need to ask you something, before we go any farther." Serena had to know the repercussions of this evening's outing. " What's going to happen now, Alex? Is this a once off, or an every once in a while thing, or what?" She was crying softly, refusing to meet Alex's eyes.

" Hey,hey, don't cry, Ser', please." Alex held Serena, trying to choose her words carefully. " Remember, on the dance floor, when I said I would never use you? I meant it. Neither Olivia or myself would ever do anything to hurt you. " Alex was perplexed when Serena started to cry harder. She shifted in the seat, and pulled the younger woman onto her lap, holding her like a child, rubbing her back and stroking her hair. " Talk to me Southerlyn, I have to know what's going on. Trust me when I tell you we would never hurt you." Alex kept repeating herself, and eventually Serena relaxed, and looked up at Alex, who felt tears well up when she saw the lost little girl in Serena's eyes. Pulling Serena's head back onto her shoulder, she looked up to see Olivia's worried gaze in the rear view mirror.

A few minutes later, they pulled into Alex's driveway. Olivia hopped out and opened the back door. She reached in and grabbed Serena's hand, gently pulling her out of the car, and then helped Alex out. Olivia patted Alex's back pocket, reached in, and took out the keys to her handcuffs. She silently took the cuffs off of Alex, but Serena refused.

" Just leave them for now,ok?" Serena looked at Alex and Olivia, fear and shame chasing each other across her face. " I'm sorry for killing the mood and ruining the evening., so, if it's ok, I'm gonna call a cab and go home."

Olivia handed the house keys to Alex, who took them wordlessly and went to unlock the door, leaving everything in Olivia's more than capable hands.

" No, Serena, it's not ok. I mean, how am I supposed to explain to Cragen that I lost a set of cuffs during sex play with two beautiful blonde ADA's? He just got used to the fact that Alex and I live together. THAT statement could give him heart failure."

A tiny giggle escaped Serena as she pictured Olivia's boss listening to that explanation. " Olivia, what is going on? Alex started to explain, but I kinda lost it back there, then you tried to blame ME for Cragen's heart failure. I'm lost, 'Liv, and I'm scared." More tears trickled down her face.

Olivia gathered Serena into her arms, rubbing the smaller woman's back. Planting a kiss on the top of Serena's head, Olivia took a step back. " Let's go in the house where we can all talk without interruptions, ok?"

" I don't think I can walk that far, 'Liv. I am so drained I can barely stand up."

" We can fix that. Put your arms around my neck. Ready?" With that, Olivia bent her knees and put her arm behind Serena's knees, scooping her up. " As long as you don't wiggle too much, I think we can make it to the house."

As they got closer to the house, the door opened and they could see Alex standing there, a worried frown on her face.

" Are you alright, Southerlyn?" Alex smacked herself in the head." That was a stupid question. Of course you aren't or... what in the blue hell is so fucking funny Benson?"

Olivia just shook her head. " You should feel honored, Ser'. I've only seen her act like this about two other people, me being one of them." She continued into the living room and to the couch, where she gently placed Serena." We're going to give you a few minutes to pull yourself together, ok? The bathrooms down the hall. You do drink coffee,right?" With that parting shot, Alex and Olivia left their guest in silence.

With the ease of a well established routine, Alex snagged three coffee mugs while Olivia got out the Bailey's and whipped cream. After she poured a healthy shot into each mug, Alex filled them with fresh brewed coffee. It was only when Olivia started to put the whipped cream on top of the coffee that any one spoke.

" Alex, what happened? I mean, one minute you two are going at it like teenagers, and the next, she's crying like her heart was broke."

" Don't know, 'Liv. All she could say was 'not again, I can't', over and over. Then we pulled up here. Did she say anything to you?"

" Only that she was lost, and scared."

" Lost? Scared of what?"

" Maybe she's scared of us, 'Lex."

" And maybe she's scared of herself." Serena replied from the doorway.



Part 7

Olivia and Alex had the grace to flush. " We're sorry, Serena. It was rude of us..."

" Shut up, Cabot. It wasn't that rude. Rude is going on a date with, it turns out, two wonderful women and ending the night bawling like a crybaby." Serena looked around the kitchen and spotted the coffee." Please tell me one of those is mine."

Olivia handed a mug to Serena, one to Alex, and claimed the third for herself. " Let's go back in there and talk,ok? But first, let me get that cuff off of you."

Before Serena could take more than one step, Alex stepped up, grabbed her free hand, and led her out of the kitchen and back to the couch. Olivia just followed, shaking her head and watching them walk.

"Hey, Alex, where are our manners?" Olivia suddenly realized that while they all looked good, their present attire was not going to be very practical. " Hhmm, Serena, I realize you dressed for some sort of success tonight,but I can't imagine you being comfortable for much longer."

" To tell the truth, I did paint these jeans on."

" Trust me, about thirty lesbians, us included, very definitely noticed and appreciated that fact." Alex remarked dryly.

Olivia nodded. " Oh, yeah, definitely. I gave my self whiplash bouncing between you two tonight. So did a coupla women by the pool tables. I had to pull rank to keep them off you two."

" You are so full of shit, Benson."

" Not really, Cabot. But, I believe we were offering our guest a chance to get out of her pants and into ours, right?" Olivia's evil grin got wider as she watched Serena blush. " Honestly, Serena, would you like to borrow a pair of sweats and a t-shirt? We have plenty to spare."

" I would appreciate it. These jeans are cutting me in half." Serena decided to get a little of her own back." But, who's pants will I be getting into?"

Alex's delighted laugh pealed through the room. " She got you Benson." Standing up, she offered her hand to Serena," Let's head to the bedroom and get everybody changed. Tell you what. You can get into my pants and 'Liv's shirt. Sound good to you?" Alex ignored the looks the other two were giving her, and towed Serena to the bedroom.

Alex was rifling through the closet, looking for a shirt for Serena. She had already ignored Serena's statement that any shirt would do.

" It's no use, hon. She's in a zone. I mean, this is Cabot and clothes. We may be here for another hour waiting for her to get done."

" Olivia, these are your two choices. You can keep running your mouth and sleep on the couch, alone, or you can keep quiet and be the outside of a Serena sandwich. The choice is yours." Alex kept looking through the closet,never skipping a beat.

"Yes, dear. I'll be good."

" Good."

" Uh, excuse me. Could someone please explain what a 'Serena sandwich' is?" Serena was confused. " And just exactly where do I fit in?"

" You really don't know?" Alex actually turned away from the closet.

" I wouldn't ask if I did."

" Point. You,dear Serena, would be the filling." Alex sighed at Serena's blank look. " You're in the middle, 'Liv and I on either side of you."

" Uh, ok. I think."

" Ser', there doesn't have to be sex involved, unless you want it. It can be three very good friends cuddling to keep the demons away." Alex turned back to the closet." and gods know we three have our fair share of them. Ha! Found it." She reached in and pulled out the t shirt she'd been searching for. It was a deep kelly green that matched the sweat pants Serena was holding. " This will look really good on you. Brings out your eyes."

Serena just stood there, a confused look on her face.

" Hey, you can change in the bathroom, or, in here with us. It's your choice, Ser'. It's always YOUR choice, okay?"

" Thanks 'Liv, Alex. I,uh, I guess I'll change in here with you two."

Serena couldn't help noticing how completely at ease the other two were. She thought she held in a gasp when she saw the scar on Olivia's left flank.

" That's a memento from some asses in my past. It doesn't hurt anymore, Serena. Honestly." Olivia tossed a smile over her shoulder. After putting her t shirt on, she casually shucked her jeans and put on sweats. " I'm gonna go build a fire, ladies. Join me when you're done."

Serena turned to Alex and didn't even try to stifle her soft 'Oh, gods' when she saw the criss-cross scars on Alex's back, a sharp contrast to the small bullet wound in her shoulder. She watched as Alex finished pulling her shirt on and turned to face Serena.

" Like I said, we all have our fair share of demons to chase away."


Part 8

Serena came to a hard won decision, displacing years of iron training and discipline. Never breaking eye contact with Alex, she slowly unbuttoned and removed her blouse. Reaching behind her, she unhooked her bra and let it fall to the floor, unnoticed. Standing a little straighter, she reached for her t shirt. Alex's eyes widened, and she walked closer to Serena, one hand reaching for the burn scars covering her chest.

" Don't, Alex. Just, please, don't. Not yet. I'm not ready."

" Okay, Serena. Let's get your shirt on,because I don't know if I can keep my hands off of you." Alex put the t shirt over Serena's head and guided her arms through the sleeves. After pulling the shirt down, Alex pulled Serena into a hug. She pulled back just enough to place a gentle kiss on Serena's lips. " Let's go see what the other half is doing."

Olivia sat in front of the fire, mesmerized by the crackling flames. It wasn't really cold enough for a fire, but there was something about fire that soothed the burning ache she felt inside. She had always had an affinity for fire, and when she was younger, that fact had scared her. Her mom's family had fostered that fear. ' She's gonna end up just like HIM, you know. Trouble." or " We had some jewelry come up missing. You better hope we don't find it with HER.' Olivia wiped away a tear. Sanctimonious bitch. She hadn't even been able to FEEL vindicated when the cops found out her cousin was the one stealing everything he could find. No, she was in the hospital, recuperating from the knife wound his buddies had given her. After she had healed enough to be discharged, she and her mother had moved out of state. She was so wrapped up in her memories that she never heard Serena and Alex come into the room.

" Oh, no. Not again."

" What, Alex? What 'oh,no'?"

Alex squeezed Serena's hand. " She's sitting in front of the fire, rocking. I can almost guarantee she's crying."

" Because of the way I reacted to her scar?"

Alex stared intently at Serena. " Partly. No, stay still a minute. I really did mean what I said about demons. Hopefully, you can help me help 'Liv get rid of some of hers."

" I'll do what I can, Alex, but, I... does she trust me enough to let me?"

" Serena. She doesn't carry people like she did you. Well, except for me. She doesn't let people see her scars. Yes, scars. Some are on the outside, some in. Elliot doesn't know half of what she's gone through. And they've been partners for years. " Alex struggled for a moment. It was always hard to see Olivia like this." You wanted to know what was going on,right? This is it. We had a LOT of long, heartfelt discussions about you. Don't say a word yet, okay? Just listen." Alex started walking towards Olivia. " We want you, Serena. Heart, mind, body and soul. In our bed, our lives and our home. We need you, Southerlyn. More than I think you will ever know."

Serena pulled Alex to a halt. "You're both okay with this, right?"

"I just said so. Dammit, have I EVER lied to you?"

" It's a lot to take in Alex. But, I only have one thing to say right now."

" And that is?"

" Let's go take care of OUR girl."


Part 9

Alex smiled.' Damn, maybe this will work.' "Why don't you go on over. I'm going to get a blanket. She's always cold when this happens." She watched Serena walk over and sit next to Olivia, hesitantly putting one arm around her shoulder. After she saw Olivia turn to Serena and wrap her arms around her, she headed to the bedroom for the blanket.

Serena wrapped her arm around Olivia, unsure how the gesture would be taken. She knew she had done something right when Olivia turned to be held, burying her face in Serena's neck. She used her free hand to stroke Olivia's hair, back, arm, anywhere she could touch, trying to soothe the troubled woman in her arms.

" It's okay 'Liv, we're both here. Nothing is ever going to happen to you again. We won't let it. It's okay. Alex went to get a blanket. Every thing will be okay, I promise." She kept repeating herself, trying to get through the grief that was consuming Olivia. " Benson. I love you. Cabot loves you. We need you. We won't let anything like that happen again." Serena felt a blanket being wrapped around them both, and Alex's hand stroking her hair before she started talking to Olivia also.

Olivia was mumbling into Serena's neck. She pulled away just enough to be able to hear, and immediately got pissed. Not at Olivia, but at whoever had hurt her so bad.

" It'll never work. She'll take one look and run screaming. Or there'll be nothing but pity in her eyes, and I don't think I could handle that, either. I'm so sorry Alex. Because of me, you'll never get to have Serena, too. Please don't hate me. I'm sorry."

Serena was stunned, and then she started to get REAL pissed. Before she could raise her head, she felt Alex grab a handful of hair and pull her head up. Cobalt blue eyes met emerald green ones. Alex relaxed her hold on Serena's hair. " Sorry, I didn't mean to pull that hard."

" What do I DO Alex? How do I fix her?"

" However you need to, baby. I trust you not to hurt her. And I will back any play you make." Alex turn Serena's hair loose, running her fingers through the blonde strands." I didn't tell you this before,Ser', but I love you. As much as I love 'Liv. Please, help me fix her. I can't be me without you both."

" Gods, I love both of you so much it HURTS seeing either of you in pain." An impish grin broke through the pain on Serena's face. " It worked on you earlier. Let's see if it works on her." Serena put a hand on either side of Olivia's face, forcing her to look up. The look of shock on Olivia's face would have been comical in any other situation.

" Oh, fuck, Serena. I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to.."

Serena just kissed her. Soft little kisses at first that gradually built in intensity. Unfortunately, the need for oxygen broke the kiss much to soon. Olivia's trembling had lessened, and her sudden release from Serena's hold caused her to fall back, right into Alex's arms. Alex wrapped her arms around Olivia, keeping her steady. Her amused grin faded as Serena advanced on them both, crawling on her knees.

" You listen to me, Benson, with both ears." Serena was in Prosecutor mode." See that woman behind you? She will ALWAYS catch you if you fall, or die trying. Or any combination in between. I will do the same thing. Do you understand me?"

A small grin played with Olivia's lips." Yes ma'am. I understand perfectly."

" And you, Cabot." Serena wasn't done yet. She looked directly into startled blue eyes." You don't have to do it on your own any more. It is my pleasure AND privilege to help. Got it?"

" Yeah, I got it, Southerlyn."

"By the way, Olivia, I would appreciate it, if next time you're wrapped around me, you use my name, please."

Alex and Olivia just stared at Serena, smiles creeping onto their faces. What started as shaky giggles turned into full blown hysterical laughter. Olivia scooted so that her back was against the couch. Once she got settled, she reached on both sides to pull Alex and Serena into a hug. Alex grabbed the blanket and covered all three of them as they snuggled in front of the fire, trying to digest what had happened that night. Alex finally broke the silence.

" How come you get to hog the newbie?"



Part 10

Olivia chuckled." Well, you had her to yourself all night at the bar, you know. I was just trying to get equal time."

" That was your own damn fault for not coming over sooner. You can't blame me for that."

" Bitch."

"Yeah, so?"

Alex noticed Serena had drawn back a little. Giving Olivia a little nudge, she pointed at her." Do something, Detective. We're losing her again."

Olivia reached over and pulled Serena over her lap. She ended up with her head on Alex's shoulder and her legs across Olivia's. " Where do you think you're going?"

" Uh, well, I ...."

" Alex, she's speechless. Did you ever think THAT could happen?"

" No, I don't think ANYONE would expect that. Especially the people she's prosecuted." Alex was playing with Serena's hair, waiting for just the right moment. Serena gave her that moment.

Before Serena could say a word, Alex leaned down and kissed her. Not the gentle, easy kisses that build up to something more, but a deep,breath stealing, soul searing kiss. When they finally broke, it was a toss up which of the three's eyes were the most glazed. Alex leaned back down and nibbled on Serena's ear, causing her to moan and arch into Alex.

" Ser', remember what we talked about in the car?" Alex whispered as she ran her tongue up Serena's ear.

" Mmm-hmmm."

" Are you up for it? If you say yes, we will ALL end up naked." Alex bit Serena's earlobe, gently shaking her head.

" I know." Serena grabbed a handful of hair and pulled Alex's head down and over so she could reach that one little spot behind her ear. Serena smiled as she heard Alex groan. " I have only one question."

" Gods, what IS it?"

"Do you want her left side or her right?"

Olivia had no idea what was in store for her fair, virginal carcass. She only realized the ADA's had a plan when she saw them look at her with identical smiles.

" Alex, Serena, what are you doing?" Olivia wasn't sure if she really LIKED the look they had on their faces. Unfortunately, she was trapped,pinned by the couch and Serena sitting on her legs.

" Accept the inevitable, Detective. We have you out-numbered." Alex purred into her ear.

" Yeah, Olivia, and you can't get away from us." Serena rasped into her other ear.

Olivia gave in to absolute pleasure. The detective part of her mind took notes on who was doing what. The rest of her didn't give a fuck, as long as they were doing something.

" 'Liv, sit up a little." Serena's tone brooked no argument. Sitting up, Olivia raised her arms so Alex could remove her shirt. Where it landed, no one knew or cared. Olivia lay back down, losing herself in the sensation of hands, lips, tongues and teeth roaming all over her body. She let loose a strangled scream when both nipples were suddenly sucked into warm, wet mouths. Olivia groped blindly, finally able to to wrap her hands in Alex's and Serena's hair, holding them as close as she could.

'They have to be telepathic or something. I don't think they had time to plan it out this much.'

Serena ran her left hand through Olivia's hair, while her right slid down her stomach,occasionally bumping into Alex, who was doing the same thing, in reverse. As one, they grabbed the waistband of Olivia's sweats and slid them down as far as they could. Alex grabbed Serena's hand, and together, they began to explore Olivia, who started twitching and moaning. Alex let go of her hair and tapped Serena on the head. Once eye contact was made, Olivia's fate was sealed. Serena followed Alex's lead so closely there was almost no time gap. Olivia wasn't sure she would survive the experience. Alex raised her head and lightly bit Olivia's nipple, with Serena doing the same. Slowly, they let them slide out of their mouths. Olivia clutched the hair she was holding so tight Serena winced in pain.

" 'Liv, honey, don't hurt Serena, she's new to you, okay." Alex, like any good Top, kept her eye on everything." Relax just a little more. That's better."

Olivia released her hold and started stroking Serena's hair." I'm sorry, but in my defense, you two did get me a little crazy for a second there."

Serena leaned into Olivia's touch." I'm okay, it just took me by surprise." She reached over and took Alex's hand, pulling her closer. When she was close enough, Serena dropped another bomb. " Alex," she whispered," I have no earthly clue what I'm supposed to do next."

It was Alex's turn to be speechless." What? But, I don't ..." Comprehension once again slapped Alex in the face." You really are a newbie, aren't you?"

Serena nodded, afraid to say anything. Alex smiled and pulled her in for a kiss.

" This will definitely be a night you won't ever forget."


Part 11

Still holding on to Serena's hand, Alex leaned down to kiss Olivia.

" 'Liv, honey, look at me. We need to talk." Alex refused to let go of Serena." Ser'. Stop. Now. There is NOTHING to be afraid of."

" Alex, please let go."

" No, Serena, you're not.."

" DAMMIT!! CABOT let go."

Alex was so stunned at Serena's out burst she let go of her hand and covered her face, refusing to let Serena see her cry. She barely registered the sound of cursing and stamping feet.

" Okay, I'm back now, Alex. Alex? What's wrong? Olivia, what did I do this time?"

Olivia was staring at Serena. " what were you doing over there? All I heard was you cursing and throwing a tantrum."

"A tantrum? I don't throw.... shit. Be right back." Serena walked to the fire place and returned with the charred remains of Olivia's shirt." I was putting out your shirt,'Liv. I guess Alex threw it too close to the fire ."

" You better tell her that. She won't believe it from me."

'FUCK, I can't do anything right tonight.' Serena sat next to Olivia, right in front of Alex. She took some of Alex's hair and began twining it around her fingers with one hand, and stroked her arm with the other one. " Alex, look at me, please, baby, please don't cry. I wasn't rejecting you, or Olivia,honest. " She stopped stroking Alex's arm and tried to hold her hand." Alex, baby, Olivia's shirt was on fire, that's all. You, you horny little blonde, you threw it in the fire. "

Alex slowly lowered her hands. " Her shirt was on fire?"

" Yes, baby, that's all. No rejections, okay?"

Olivia picked that moment to be a smart-ass. " 'Lex, you know there are easier and cheaper ways to keep me naked."

" Shut up, you. "

" Make me, and I really mean, make me."

"Alex, can I talk to you over here for a minute?" Serena walked to the fireplace.

" Shit. Olivia, promise me you won't let your eyes talk too much, please."

With that cryptic statement, Alex went to Serena.

" What are you looking for,Serena?"

" Where's your cd player, Alex? " Serena had a real wicked look goin' on.

" In the kitchen. Why?" Alex thought she knew where this was going.

" Well, I know you are a great dancer, and I don't do to shabby, we did kinda leave her hangin' a while ago."

" Serena, slow down. Are those the only reasons?" Alex had both of Serena's hands in hers,trying to hold her still." Look, I can guarantee your scars won't mean a thing to 'Liv, well, they will, but not like you think. Trust me?"

Serena nodded and took a deep breath. " I'm gonna follow your lead on this, okay?"

" Yeah, it's ok. Why don't you go back, and I'll be there in a minute."



Part 12

Alex stood in the kitchen doorway, watching her girlfriends.' I like the way that sounds. My girlfriends. As long as we can keep the lines of communications open, things should work out just fine. Smooth,Benson. I'll remember that. Huh, took her longer to get Serena's shirt off than it did mine,but then again, I wasn't a virgin. Oh, shit, THAT'S what she meant. I thought she meant with a woman. Well, after she has Olivia, no one else will do, except, hopefully, me. How in the blue hell..?? Time for Alex to play too.'

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

"Where's Alex?"

" She'll be here in a minute."

" Hey, I don't bite. Well, not too hard. Besides, I'm cold. Keep me warm?" Olivia's teasing was having it's desired effect. Serena was relaxing and leaning closer, which was what she wanted. Olivia waited patiently for her to lean just a little too close. 'Gotcha, pretty lady. Now what are you gonna do?' Olivia snaked her arms out and grabbed Serena in a bear hug. She turned her around until they were face to face, and Serena was straddling her waist.

" Hi sexy. Ya wanna come over to my house?" Olivia didn't give her a chance to respond before she lay back, pulling Serena down until she was sprawled on top of her. One gentle hand on the back of her head brought her down to kissing level. Olivia started by nibbling on Serena's lower lip, then licking her upper lip, switching back and forth until she felt her mouth open just the tiniest bit. Pressing her advantage, Olivia darted the tip of her tongue in and out of Serena's mouth, until Serena moaned and opened all the way. Not needing to hold her head any longer, Olivia slid both hands up and down Serena's back,gradually bunching her shirt around her shoulders.

" Ser', honey, take your shirt off, please."

Serena waited a beat, then nodded. " You have to let me sit up."

Olivia helped her up, still straddling her hips, and held Serena while she stripped her tee off, and carefully tossed it onto the couch. Using only her fingertips, Olivia explored Serena's stomach and sides, gently and lovingly. She slowly pulled Serena back down, the detective seeing all the cigar burn scars, and the lover seeing only a beloved body for the first time. Olivia leaned up and sprinkled kisses on both breasts, scars or not. Serena's whimper told her everything she needed to know.

" Serena, listen to me. Look at me, too. I love you, warts, freckles, scars and all." Olivia frowned," Well, maybe not the warts, cause they're always in weird and prominent places, like noses and asses, but other than that..."

" Olivia, you are priceless. I think that's one of the reasons I love you."

" Yeah, she is pretty lovable, isn't she." Alex stood next to Serena, playing with her hair.

" Look, Serena, it's a nekkid Alex. One of my favorite kinds."

" You hush. You like anything, as long as it's nekkid."

" Are you kidding? I only like two nekkid ADA's, except, I only see one."

"She has a point, Ser'. What are you gonna do about it?" Alex asked quietly.

Serena bent down and kissed Olivia,and sat back up. After she climbed off of her, she stood next to Alex.

" Benson got my shirt off. It's up to you to get my pants off,Cabot." She replied, just as quietly.

Alex turned Serena until she was facing Olivia. Staying behind her, Alex gathered Serena's hair together and laid it over her right shoulder. Moving in as close to Serena as possible, she gently pulled her head back until it was resting on Alex's right shoulder, giving plenty of space to work. Alex loosely wrapped her arms around Serena's waist as she lowered her mouth to Serena's shoulder and started biting softly, the bites gradually getting harder in response to Serena's moaning. She started dropping kisses here and there on Serena's neck and back as her hands slowly started pushing her pants down. Serena curled her left arm up so she could play with Alex's hair. Alex continued her dual assault until she felt Serena stiffen.

" Ser', did I hurt you?"

" No, baby, you tickled." Serena rolled her head over and kissed Alex. "I will tell you if you hurt me, okay?"

Alex started kissing her way down Serena's back, pulling her pants with her. She lifted Serena's left foot, then her right, and tossed the sweats on the couch. She saw, but wouldn't let herself register, the hideously botched brand on Serena's left cheek. Instead, she concentrated on kissing and licking her way back up to Serena's neck. By the time she got there, they were both quivering. Alex kissed Serena gently, and then outlined their plan of attack on Olivia.

Serena knelt in between Olivia's legs, waiting for Alex, who was trying to get Olivia's attention.

" Benson! Pay attention."

" But, 'Lex, she's teasing me."

" No, she's not, 'Liv. Ser' has never done this before."

"Ser'? We're your first women ever,right?"

" Actually, you two are my first ever, period."

Olivia looked at Alex." Just raw,natural talent,huh."

" Oh, yeah. In spades."

" I'm gonna die a very happy woman."

Serena ran her hand up and down Olivia's thigh, smiling when she heard her start to stutter. She continued her explorations, watching every little twitch or shift of Olivia's body. An elusive aroma drifted around her,drawing her closer to the heat and energy blasting from the body in front of her. Serena shifted until she was on her belly, her arms under Olivia's thighs and over her hips. She gently opened Olivia, curious as to what another woman actually looked like. Serena slowly drew one finger over and around, assimilating new textures, freezing when Olivia moaned after she slid the tip of her finger inside.

" Did I hurt you?"

Olivia lifted her head and looked Serena right in the eyes." No, but I might hurt you if you do that and stop again." She dropped her head and bucked her hips as Serena gently eased her finger the rest of the way in, and withdrew it just as gently.

Serena looked at Alex, trying to get non verbal instructions on what to do next. Alex held up two fingers and smiled. Serena smiled back and inserted two fingers, stopping when her knuckles were barely visible. She started a slow in and out rhythm, watching Olivia's face the whole time. The sight and smell of the woman under her was taking it's toll. Serena dropped her head and flicked her tongue out, getting a quick taste. Deciding one taste wasn't enough, Serena applied teeth and tongue to her more than willing victim.

The combination of Serena's gentle fingers and tongue were almost more than Olivia could take. Holding tightly to Alex with one hand, she ran the other over Serena's head, subtly guiding her. Olivia felt her toes start to numb as Serena stepped up the pressure. When she pulled her clit into her mouth and sucked, hard, Olivia slipped over the edge.

" Ser.. don't..stop,please. I'm... oh gods.. Serena." Olivia's voice rose into a wail, drawing Serena's name out. As Olivia continued to squirm, Serena pulled her fingers out and continued to hold Olivia's hips, bound and determined to feast until SHE was done.

" Serena. Stop a minute." Alex had to pull Serena away." You gotta give her a break."

Serena looked at Alex, her eyes dazed. She shook her head to clear the cobwebs. " I'm sorry. What did you say?"

" I said, you gotta stop and let her recover, ok?"

Serena sat up, after placing one last kiss on the inside of Olivia's thigh. She scooted next to Alex, and both blondes watched as Olivia tried to catch her breath. They leaned in closer, trying to catch what she was mumbling.

" Look at the pretty stars. I can't feel my legs. I always thought she had potential, but ....." Olivia stopped rambling and stared straight at Alex. " We created a monster." were her last words before she passed out.



Part 13

Alex and Serena stared at the semi-comatose brunette. After flipping the blanket over Olivia, Alex stood up and extended a hand to Serena.

" I'll bank the fire while you take the coffee cups to the kitchen."

" Then what?"

" Then we wake 'Liv, go to the bedroom, and see who passes out next."

%%%%%

Olivia smiled, slowly coming back to consciousness. Cracking one eye open, she saw Alex and Serena standing next to her, big smiles on their faces. As her eyes opened completely, she had one burning question.

" Where did you learn to do that? I STILL can't feel my toes."

" Well,you said 'raw natural talent'." Serena was justifiably smug.

" Yeah I did. I guess you showed me how right I was." Olivia looked at Alex, noticing the strange look on her face. " Alex? You ok?"

" Just waiting for you to be able to walk so we can take it to the bedroom." Alex grinned." I'm just a little impatient, that's all."

Olivia grinned back and held her hands up." Sounds good to me. If you two'll help, I might be able to stumble in there." After she got to her feet, Olivia motioned for Serena to precede her and Alex. Grabbing Alex's arm, Olivia held her back for a moment.

" Serena, we're gonna lock up,then we'll be in, ok?"

" What's going on 'Liv? I locked up when we got home, you know that."

" I just wanted to talk to you alone for a second, that's all. " Olivia shook her head at her girlfriend." Nothing bad,honest. Just a question. Do we flip to see who gets her first, or do we tag team?"

" Tag team, definitely."

@@@@@@

Serena was standing by the bed when the other two women walked in, Olivia slightly behind Alex. They stopped next to Serena, Olivia wrapping her arms around Alex from behind.

" If you're a virgin,Ser', why did you tell Alex you're a screamer when we were at the bar?"

Serena blushed. " Well, to paraphrase an old song, you two ' have been the theme of many a dream'."

" Huh." Olivia was stunned. " I only hope we can live up to the fantasy us."

" Trust me, no fantasy was as good as the reality."

Alex had had enough of conversation. Taking the two steps she needed to be next to Serena, she wrapped her arms around her and fell back onto the bed, pulling Serena on top of her. After a brief kiss, Alex rolled them over, pinning Serena to the bed. As she started working her way down, Alex felt herself being picked up and flung on her back. Staring at Olivia in frustration, Alex felt Serena run her hands up and down her body.

" We decided it was your turn." Olivia stopped any arguments Alex might have made by kissing her. She winced a little as Alex bit her lower lip when Serena's tongue started exploring. Breaking the kiss, Olivia looked up and noticed Serena was on her hands and knees, with her knees by Alex's shoulder. Olivia reached over and pulled Serena's right leg up and over Alex.

Serena was so involved in what she was doing she hadn't consciously realized what Olivia had done until she felt Alex's lips on her thighs, moving up slowly. When she felt Alex's tongue, Serena stepped up her assault. She moaned and pushed her hips back when Olivia inserted two fingers and started a rhythm in counterpoint with Alex's licking and nibbling.

Alex almost screamed when Serena started tongue-fucking her and rubbing her clit. In response, she latched onto Serena's and sucked as hard as she could, which in turn caused Serena to moan and bury her tongue as far as she could into Alex.

Olivia shifted until she was on her knees. Leaning forward, she gathered Serena's hair to keep it out of her way. She added a third finger and increased the tempo as she watched the two incredibly erotic blondes beneath her. As Olivia bent down to drop kisses on Serena's lower back and ass, she felt Alex slide her fingers in, starting the rhythm she knew would bring Olivia to a roaring climax.

Serena knew she was close. The combination of hands and tongues were driving her closer and closer to the edge of a killer orgasm. All she could do was whimper and keep feasting on the body beneath her. When she felt her orgasm hit, she moved her mouth up and sucked Alex's clit as hard as she could, while slamming her hips back to meet Olivia's thrusting.

Alex did scream when she came. She kept up her frantic rhythm in Olivia as she tried to keep her mouth in contact with Serena. She felt more than heard Olivia's orgasm, grunting softly as two bodied collapsed onto hers. Alex lay there for a minute, until the combined weight of her lovers' made it hard to breathe.

" Can't...breathe...you...two."

Olivia rolled to her right and Serena rolled to her left, both staying where they landed for a minute. All three women shifted around until Serena was in the middle. After goodnight kisses all around, Serena sat up long enough to pull the covers over all three of them and snuggled her back into Alex, smiling when she felt Olivia roll over to face her, throwing her arm over Alex's, both of them holding her. She fell asleep knowing that when she woke, it would be to a reality, not a fantasy.
