No Strings

Chapter 5

You sat on Rafael's couch, laptop perched in your lap, legs extended as you researched through the files Olivia had left for you. It may have been late, but the benefit of working from "home " was the Cuban A.D.A. sitting on the opposite end of the couch, completely engrossed with his own work while his right hand slowly trailed its way up & down your legs, conveniently draped across his lap. At least this way, if anyone was to show up or call unexpectedly, you could use work as the excuse. After flipping through the case file AGAIN, you sighed heavily, shutting the laptop in front of you. Rafael glanced over at you lightning quick.

"Over it already?"

"Barba please," You rolled your eyes, "It's Friday night, I shouldn't be working this late normally, and this case is going nowhere, AND I'm starving; there's no way I'm focussing on this anymore" You stood up, walking back to the kitchen and opening the fridge as if something delicious would materialize inside. Eggs, milk, some out of date vegetables, there was definitely nothing here you should consume. Sighing again you shut the fridge and turned back to Barba, still engrossed in his work "You literally have no food, how do you live like this? I'm gonna order something, what's your address? Anything specific you like or don't like?" He grunted in response as you dialled the number of your favourite Chinese place, putting in your normal order with a few extra items to satisfy the man on the couch.

Half an hour later, food covered the living room table, laptops and file cases thrown aside to dig into the delicious dinner, and closest to an actual meal either you or Rafael had eaten in god knows how long.

"Thank you y/n" Barba mumbled over some noodles, "I doubt I'd actually have a dinner aside from scotch if it wasn't for you." You chuckled lightly.

"Seriously? You really need to spend less time in your office. As much as you'd like, you can't survive off coffee and whiskey!"

"At least get breakfast in every day!"

"One meal does not count..."

"Tell me detective, how many proper meals do YOU eat every day?"

"Okay, okay, case closed counsellor." A comfortable silence came over the two of you as you dug through the take out boxes, finally satisfying your screaming stomachs with food. As you slowed down, and you were tempted to start actually working again, despite it being well past work hours, you started to pack up the containers. The fridge was empty and Rafael could use some leftovers when he came home tomorrow. You glanced back to Barba reaching for his laptop once again, "Rafa.... please...." He glanced back at you, putting the computer back on the table, "Take a break. I know this case means a lot, but it's Friday night, you need to relax, put the case away." He closed the laptop, tossing it to the sofa chair.

"Fine." He smiled gently at you "Bring me a drink cariño?" You added a second glass of scotch and walked back over to the couch, swigging the amber liquid as he did, smirking as you put it down on the coffee table. Rafael smiled up at you as you straddled his lap, slowing bringing your body closer to his, your lips ghosting over his.

"You know...they say there's another way to distract from work..." You lingered, pressing a soft kiss to his smiling lips.

"Oh really?" He raised a brow, his hands slowly tracing down your body, grabbing your ass tightly, "And what distraction is that?"Rafael stroked a loose hair behind your ear, his hand trailing up your side, slowly pulling your shirt above your head, tossing it onto the floor. "Fuck hermosa." He muttered, slowly kissing down your neck, across your chest.

"Rafa..."You breathed, leaning into him, eager for his touch. He bit into your neck gently, causing you to gasp as you ground yourself against his hips. You pulled away, smirking at Rafael as you slowly pushed your body away from his, lowering yourself down to the floor on your knees, happy your face was finally equal with his crotch. You easily undid his pants, his hips lifted to make things easier for you as you slid his pants and boxers off, enamoured with the thickness in front of you. You caught eye contact with him quickly as you slowly licked him, base to tip, kissing his head before you pulled it into your mouth, sucking heavily. You hollowed your cheeks, taking him in as deeply as you could, cupping his balls with your hand. He moaned deeply, appreciative of your skills as he started to fuck your mouth, loving everything about it. You gagged slightly, when he pulled you off his cock, a few minutes of breath he smirked before pulling you up by your hair.

"C'mere Cariño" Rafael muttered, pulling you into a deep kiss as he swiftly pushed your pants to the floor, running a finger through your folds, watching you gasp before you settled yourself above him. Slowly, you moved your body down, enveloping Rafael inside of you. The feeling was impeccable as you started to move up and down against him, moaning in pleasure. Rafael started rutting against you, pushing his hips up, gripping yours with a bruising grip with one hand while his other hand rerouted to your clit, starting to rub quick harsh circles against it. You gasped deeply, biting into Barba's neck, continuing to thrust against his hips as his mouth found your nipple, biting lightly before circling it with his tongue. You threw your head back in pleasure, continuing to ride him, the only sounds filling the apartment were gasps and moans from both of you, and skin on skin. You'd both been working such insane hours, it really didn't take much for either of you to reach your orgasms, panting against each other as you started to come down from the high.

Breathing heavily, you slowly lifted your head, Rafael caught you in a kiss, or, as much as a kiss someone in need of air that you were could kiss. You laughed lightly, pulling yourself off the ADA , curling into his side as he pulled a blanket over your naked body.

**

A few hours of Netflix later and you sighed heavily as you checked your phone, realizing the time.

"It's late..." You murmured, removing yourself from Rafael's embrace, pulling your clothes back onto your body, as much as you wanted to fall asleep on that couch, you knew you couldn't show up to the precinct wearing the same clothes "I've got to be at work early." Looking back at Barba, you saw his eyes subtle, he reached out to stroke your hand.

"I'll see you tomorrow cariño?" It was gentle, soft, he stood up, kissing you once more before you pulled yourself away, smiling at him as you left his apartment.
