Disclaimer: I do not own The Flash (2014) in any way.
For the past several months Caitlin had taken it upon herself to give Barry a night off at least once a month. It hadn't been an easy task to coordinate a night for just the two of them between metahuman attacks, but somehow Caitlin managed. Barry couldn't thank her enough for doing so.
"Let's order first so that our food is here for when we're done with our bath." Caitlin said while pondering over her stack of takeout menus, her lower lip caught between her teeth. Her pensive expression didn't quell the heat in Barry's eyes, just the thought of a shared bath got him excited. "Barry!" Caitlin's sudden outburst brought him back to the present where his vibrations were wearing into her living room floor.
"Sorry, Cait." Barry rubbed the back of his neck, a sheepish grin taking over his face. "I'll go start the water."
"Thanks, babe." Caitlin muttered as she dialed Barry's favorite Thai restaurant. She loved the man, but sometimes a girl had to put her security deposit first, especially if that man was the Flash and frequently brought his work home.
After she hung up, Caitlin made her way to her bathroom, dropping articles of clothing as she went. Nights like these were as much for her as they were for Barry.
"Hey." Caitlin murmured as she leaned against the doorframe in only her lacy underwear. She watched as a half naked Barry tested the temperature of the bathtub.
"Hey." Barry's voice lowered as he took in the sight of his beautiful girlfriend. The thought that she had been wearing that all day sent a new sensation of pleasure down his spine. "Ready?" He held out a hand and brought Caitlin into his arms. He gently kissed the side of her mouth and slowly unhooked her bra, pushing the straps down her arms. The feel of Caitlin's naked chest against his own made him feel powerful, like it was only the two of them in the world and their only responsibility was to truly feel each other.
"Seems like you are." Was her cheeky reply as she pressed closer to him, grinding her hips against his. The feel of Barry pressed into her lower stomach sent chills through her body and she leaned up on her tiptoes to better align their bodies. The resulting kiss was passionate and slow, something the scarlet speedster learned to perfect when it came to Caitlin.
The pair discarded their remaining clothing and lowered themselves into the bathtub, Caitlin resting against Barry's chest.
Barry began to wash Caitlin's back and pressed soft kisses onto each patch of skin as he went. Caitlin let out a pleased moan and reached a hand behind her to place on Barry's shoulder as he continued his ministrations.
"Mmmm, Barry." Caitlin exhaled. Satisfied with his work, Barry shifted his concentration from her back to her arms, entangling their fingers as he reached the ends. Caitlin wrapped their arms around her body, allowing Barry to place kisses on her shoulder and his hands to roam her chest. Barry's hands soon traveled down to rub gentle circles on her thighs before reaching his goal between her long legs. Barry's actions caused Caitlin to her arch her back against his chest.
Long fingers teased her entrance before returning to rub circles on her clit. Caitlin's foot hooked around Barry's ankle beneath the water as her hands rested on her chest. Her breathy moans signaled to Barry that he was hitting the right spot and he was not going to stop until Caitlin was satisfied.
"Barry." Caitlin pulled his other hand to her breast and placed both of hers behind her on Barry's neck. She could feel the line of goosebumps forming there. He continued to place open mouth kisses on her neck. He smiled into the crook of her neck when he could feel that she was close.
It didn't take long for her to let out a final breathy moan and turn around in the small tub. She leaned back on his thighs and straddled his waist.
The squeaking of the tub and splashing of the water caused the young couple to laugh.
"Sorry." Caitlin smiled into a kiss she placed on Barry's lips.
"Don't apologize." Barry smiled back before pressing his tongue into Caitlin's eager mouth.
Caitlin made quick work of dragging a wash cloth across Barry's lithe frame. She honestly didn't know why they bothered to actually bathe while there were much more relaxing things they could do.
She remembered one of the early months when she had hurried a sore Barry Allen into her bathtub. Her eyes didn't leave his as she gently washed away the stress from the day. Even though she had seen him naked plenty of times before—it came with being his personal physician—she couldn't help but blush as he explained that he didn't mind if she actually looked at what she was doing. It wasn't until after the pair had started being intimate that Caitlin joined him in the bathtub and Barry wondered why they hadn't been doing that the entire time. He had never felt so at peace and fulfilled with Caitlin Snow in his arms.
Caitlin soon dropped the washcloth into the warm water and brought herself closer to Barry, if that was even possible. She pressed open mouth kisses along his jawline and ran a hand down his chest, tracing a constellation between his freckles. She could feel him vibrating beneath her touch.
"Please."
Caitlin smiled. "I thought you'd never ask." With that Caitlin brought herself down on Barry, their hips pushed into each other and immediately found a rhythm that wouldn't send too much water onto the floor.
"Oh god, Caitlin." Each time they came together was like the first, it was like being struck by lightning. Barry liked to make that joke often meanwhile Caitlin would roll her eyes and remind him of the coma he was in when that actually happened.
It was Caitlin who touched the stars first and slumped against Barry's chest. He kissed her forehead and ran his fingers through her hair until she came down off her high and was able to reciprocate his gentle thrusts. When Barry came it was like the world stopped and sped up at the same time. Caitlin would often joke that this must be what the Speedforce felt like. Barry would chuckle and kiss her.
As Barry's breathing began to even out and Caitlin sat with her head curled under his chin and her arms slung around his shoulders he couldn't help but think of how thankful he was for this wonderful woman. She wasn't just his doctor or reluctant colleague anymore. No, now they were lovers—partners—as they worked together to keep their city, and each other, safe.
The sound of Caitlin's doorbell ringing through the apartment woke the two from their moment of bliss.
"Shit, food's here already." Caitlin immediately jumped up and began to wrap a towel around herself. Because no matter how much Barry Allen could unwind Caitlin Snow, she was still Caitlin Snow.
"Not so fast, Dr. Snow." Barry teased and in seconds he was troweled off and standing in front of her dressed in his usual joggers and S.T.A.R. Labs crewneck.
"Show off." Caitlin rolled her eyes and raised up on her tiptoes to place a kiss on Barry's mouth. "Just for that, you're paying."
Barry grinned and exited the bathroom to retrieve their food.
That night after they had devoured their food and burned through a few episodes on their Netflix queue they lay tangled together, wrapped in Caitlin's sheets. Barry absentmindedly traced circles on Caitlin's waist as she exhaled small breaths on his neck.
"Barry?" Caitlin moved to rest her chin on Barry's chest and looked up into his green eyes.
"Yeah?" Barry gazed back down into her brown ones.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Cait."
I wasn't originally planning on continuing this story but after receiving such kind reviews and positive feedback I decided to go for it! I have also noticed a huge amount of hate towards Snowbarry and negative comments made from Snowbarry fans against Westallen shippers and decided that the best way to share my opinion would be to spread positive vibes in my own ship. (Let's be honest, Westallen is endgame and Candice Patton as Iris is pure fire. Much love to you, girl!) We all come here to live out our own ships in peace so let's just leave each other be and ship on.
Also, that was my first attempt at smut so I hope it wasn't completely terrible! Snowbarry was definitely lacking rated M stories so consider this my attempt to remedy that. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed writing it! Thanks!
