Fun, flirty, wicked Barson for those who enjoy that kind of thing. And I may be channeling through Olivia a little bit... just a touch...

Do I want too much?
Am I going overboard to want that touch?
I shout it out to the night
Give me what I deserve 'cause it's my right
Shouldn't I have this? (shouldn't I?)

-Mary Chapin Carpenter (Passionate Kisses)

She collapsed on the bed, sighing loudly. He smiled over at her, shutting the door and dropping their bags near it. He collapsed right next to her and she rolled over, propping her head up on her hand, looking at him.

"Well?" he asked, eyes closed but a slight smile on his face.

"I am impressed, Barba."

"I've been known to do my homework, Benson" he replied, opening his eyes, smirking at her. She looked around the room… well, suite, to be honest. They had been officially a thing for 9 weeks. It had been brewing since well before they finally succumbed in the midst of the end of a tough case, a couple of drinks and neither wanting to be alone that night. Or the night after. But they knew they needed time away from being Benson and Barba. They needed to be Olivia and Rafael, even if it was just for a couple of days. He sprung this 48-hour reprieve from life on her yesterday morning and just knew it was what she needed. What he needed. What they both needed. Not just to individually recharge but for them to be together. They had left their work phones behind and the only person who knew where they were was Lucia. Like they could keep anything from her. They knew better at this point. Not that Olivia would ever want to. Lucia loved her son and she took a shine to Noah and there was no one, outside of Lucy, Olivia trusted more with her son.

She rolled back onto her back, closing her eyes and sighing loudly. "I deserve this."

"Deserve what?" he asked.

She waved her hand around over her. "This! Not only is this place bigger than my apartment, but you know what it doesn't have?"

"Toys strewn across the floor?"

"That too. I was thinking crayon on the wall."

"Nope. This place does not have that."

"I also deserve this bed. I was due for a new mattress about 5 years ago. A toddler who can't sleep in one position doesn't help either."

"Let's see if we can stick the mattress in our bags when we leave." She laughed and opened her eyes as he rolled over on top of her, resting on his arms, brushing her hair out of her face.

"I also need a new robe."

"You do, Liv. So badly. I know for a fact they have those big fluffy ones here. I'll get the mattress in my bag. You handle the robes."

She laughed a full laugh she didn't do much of anymore. This playful, funny, crazy side of him was something she had not expected from him, but it made him more complex and deep to her and it made her fall that much harder than she thinks she would have normally fallen.

"Think I'm asking for too much, Raf?"

"Never. You should ask for more. You deserve it."

"What?"

"Whatever. All of it."

She cocked an eyebrow up at him. "So, if I told you I really deserved one of your slow, methodical kisses like that first night outside Forlini's…" She couldn't finish the sentence before his lips were slowly moving against hers, tongue exploring every crevice of her mouth. She sank further into the amazing bed, fully relaxing against him, pulling him closer.

"Like that?" He asked, voice gravely. If she had been standing, she would have needed to grab something because of what that aspect of his voice did to her.

"Exactly like that."

"Anything else?" he asked her again, lips lightly pressing kisses against her neck.

She ran her fingers through his hair. "How about dinner someplace without a kids' menu."

"Done. I specifically chose this place for their 'no kids' policy."

"You are one hell of a man, Rafael Barba."

"So I've been told" he replied, pushing himself off the bed, grabbing her hand and dragging her up. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders as he flashed her his signature smile that made her heart melt.

"How about you go put on something that you don't have to worry about getting sauce or macaroni and cheese on and we will go eat a meal that involves vegetables and fish and get drunk and we come back up here and we see who can make the other scream their name first?"

"Oh, we both totally deserve that" she said, kissing him soundly.
