**WARNING-MILD SMUT AHEAD**

Nick and I call Olivia and her and Sonny make their way to Barba's office. After, he calls me on his way home "I'm sorry, I can't come over tonight. I have to go talk to Tommy." He starts off as soon as I pick up.

"Hey, hey. No need to apologize. You do what you have to do, alright?" I return, wishing there was more I can do for him. I offer "do you need anything, want me to come with you?"

"No, I gotta do this. Thank you though. You around tomorrow?" He asks me.

"Liv asked me to go in, Finn's still out of town." I return, knowing we need all hands on deck with this case.

"I'm sorry." He hums out "I told her I didn't need the whole day off" he tries to explain.

"It's fine, I could use the O.T anyway. Go get some rest Sonny, alright. Everything's gonna work out." I try to assure him.

"Ya, alright. Night Madds." He says, sounding exhausted.

"Night Sons." I return and we hang up the phone.

Sunday goes by slowly, filled with paperwork and preparing for the hearing. Barba wants things to move swiftly, getting the hearing scheduled for tomorrow. I drop by Sonny's house after work and his long face smiles when he opens his door "what are you doing here?" He asks, opening his door for me to come in.

"Just stopping by on my way home." I tell him with a grin.

He smirks back "I live out of the way from your place and work."

"Guilty." I shrug one shoulder looking up with my eyes. He leans down to kiss me and it's more passionate then it has been recently. "Everything okay?" I ask him in a whisper when we pull away.

He sort of shakes his head but says "I'm just happy you're here."

"So, you're all set for tomorrow?" I ask, knowing he'll be called to the stand. Barba told me I could be called up as a witness, but don't think Donna's attorney cares much about what I have to say, not being related to the case like Sonny is.

He walks back over to his couch, plopping down and sipping from a beer that's next to him "yeah, just hope Tommy is."

"He will be, you know what you're doing and so does Barba. We'll get her." I try to assure him, knowing how hard this is going to be to convince a jury a women raped a man.

"I just, this is already exhausting." He wipes his hand with his face, the bags under his eyes are dark, like he hasn't slept well in a while.

"It'll be over soon, hang in there." I pat his leg, leaning into him and resting my head on his chest.

He sighs and returns "it's not me I'm worried about. Bella's really worrying me. Liv talked to her this morning but she's still not sure what she wants to do."

I nod my head a bit, knowing what he is referring too "I'm sorry" is all I can think to say, knowing there are no words I could say that could make him feel better.

Sonny and I end up in his bed a short while later. He keeps his tongue in his mouth and holds his kisses with mine. He slowly takes my clothes off, running his hands over my body, leaving chills where his fingers laid. He keeps himself on top of me, letting his lips slowly suck on my neck and I hum with the pleasure of the tingle. "I don't.." He hums out when I move my hands to his belt "I don't have any condoms." He looks to me with sorrowful eyes.

I huff out a bit frustrated and do some math in my head. "It's fine, I'm not ovulating." I tell him, pulling his lips back to mine.

He accepts my kisses for a few seconds but asks "are you sure?"

"Positive." I respond, figuring I had another 2-3 days before I start to ovulate. He nods and we continue forward. There's no foreplay this time with us, as soon as he's undressed he returns to his position on top of me and moves to get inside. As he pushes himself inside of me, he mumbles my name a few times, and I reciprocate his feelings, enjoying every bit of him. As his thrusts stay consistent with pace, I feel myself get closer to my release. I lift one leg up, wrapping it around his waist and begin to work with him as well, wanting to ride out our orgasms together. "Come on Sonny, cum with me." I whisper in his ear in between my panting, truly feeling connected to him.

"Mmmm." He hums back to me, starting to thrust a bit harder this time. It doesn't take much longer before we both release, and he fills me inside. When he rolls off of me, I make my way to his bathroom to clean up. When I come out, the sheets to his bed are already off and he's already in his pants.

"What, no cuddle?" I tease as I re enter the room.

He gives me a little smirk and returns "we can go cuddle on the couch, let me just start a wash."

I shake my head, going back over to redress myself. "I should get going though, you're going to have a long day tomorrow." I respond.

"You sure?" He asks "you can stay here tonight." He offers.

I shake my head "you should get a full night's rest. I'll see you in the morning." I confirm. Sonny walks me out the door and kisses me goodnight "night Sonny." I tell him before I walk away.

"Night doll." He returns and shuts the door as I walk into the elevator.
