Chapter 5: Vacations, Vacaciones
WARNING: THIS IS A VERY LONG CHAPTER. GO GET YOUR POPCORN, BEVERAGES, SNACKS, AND TAKE YOUR BATHROOM BREAKS NOW.
"So, a vacation. That's exciting! But what could be better than hanging out in New York?" Effy asked.
"My place" Sonny said cheekily raising his eyebrows up and down.
Effy got up and faced him. "Look, cutie. I'm sure you can give it to a pretty girl whenever you want. But this (motioning up and down her body), you can't have." Effy said, flicking his tie before grabbing a coffee from the coffee machine.
"Don't mess with Cocoa Butter" Amanda said, mussing up Sonny's hair.
"She's a pretty girl, I assume she'd want a pretty guy by her" Sonny said, swatting Amanda's hand away.
"Come on Sonny, Barba's got a better chance than you at getting into Effy's bra" Olivia said, sipping her tea.
"Come on, he's a chill dude, way too chill for Effy. Who, I might add, HAS NO CHILL." Sonny said.
"Sonny, I'm pretty sure I'm way more chill than you. By the way, baby, how's night school?" Effy said, green eyes shooting at blue eyes.
"Very, very, well." Sonny said.
"I'll have to alert the Bar then" Effy said, flipping her hair and walking away.
It was true…Effy had no chill, but neither did Sonny.
Barba was loving the public teasing Effy was throwing. All he wanted to do was to pull her into the bucks, bend her over, and fuck her mercilessly.
But, this vacation was a perfect opportunity to plan the weekend of a lifetime for him, and for Effy.
Alright, that's enough ball-busting, go home and pack. You'll meet here tonight at 11 and we'll drive to the airport." Olivia said, smiling
"Wait, why aren't you going?" Nick asked.
"I'm going to spend this weekend with Cassidy and my wonderful little man Noah." She was so excited to spend the weekend with her little family.
Everyone smiled, genuinely happy for her because she was always so busy and only had nights and early mornings for "Noah time". She deserved this time with him and they all knew it.
"Wait, the airport though, where are we going?" Sonny said, smoothing out his hair in the mirror.
"You guys are going to sunny ass California." Fin finally said. "I'm coming along to round you reckless assholes up when things get rough. I'm sure Lola is gonna get sick of her pop-pop so I'll let the fathers have her this weekend."
Fin was like the gruff granddad/father that meant well but knew you still needed tough love once in a while. That was one of the reasons why they loved him so much.
"Well, it's 5 o'clock. We should get home and start packing. Besides, you know how we women take time with these things." Amanda said, lovingly wrapping her arms around Effy's shoulders.
Amanda was bisexual, but she usually just stayed affectionate. She experimented in college and had a few girlfriends here and there, but again, she liked the affection.
Effy was also bisexual, even though she had an expressed interest in Barba. She dated a girl for about 3 years but then went on to explore the rest of her interests and what she felt she wanted.
The girls decided to just commit to the dick, but the weekend might have different plans for them.
Nick and Barba looked at each other.
"What about a…." Nick trailed off.
"I wouldn't share them. Trust me." Barba said.
The two laughed quietly. They liked feisty women, sleeping with feisty women, dating feisty women…and great Latino food.
Cubans, and Puerto Ricans. Who knew?
"Te veo aqui, amigo. Voy a llevarla a la casa (I'll see you here, friend. I'm going to take her home)" Barba said to Nick, motioning for Effy to take her home.
Nick waved and grabbed his keys. "Come on, Peach, I'll drop you off and pick you up later."
Amanda hurried after him after waving goodbye to Effy and Fin. Fin grabbed his keys and left, leaving Olivia to debrief some officers and then left on her own.
EFFY AND BARBA'S APARTMENT
EFFY'S UNIT
"I'll only be an hour or two. I'll come by with my bags when I'm done." Barba said, kissing Effy on the forehead affectionately before walking back to his unit.
Effy nodded and closed the door behind him.
Effy decided to get her bag packed after pouring herself some peach sangria.
She turned on some Jannelle Monae on her Pandora and started gathering up her things.
In one bag, Effy put in makeup, lady products (tampons, midol, etc. She was already done with her time of the month, but she liked to come prepared in case someone else needed one.), electronic chargers for her tablet, phone, vape, and mobile charger, curling iron, flat iron, and condoms.
In the other bag, she packed her yoga pants, hoodie, tank tops, 4 bathing suits (one for each day), black vans, two pairs of heels, a pair of strappy sandals, a towel, sexy underwear (was there any other kind?), skinny jeans, 3 dresses, high-waist shorts, booty shorts, and 2 bras.
She changed into her black pajama pants with Hogwarts written vertically down the left leg, a black tank top, and black converse as she put her hair up in a messy bun.
BARBA'S UNIT
Barba lit up a joint as he started to pack his bags.
In one small bag, he put his hair products (typical), his reading glasses, vape, electronic chargers for his tablet, phone, vape, and mobile charger pack, and condoms.
In a bigger bag, he packed black jeans, converse low top sneakers, black dress shoes, black dress pants, black cargo pants, several v neck t-shirts, one long-sleeved collared shirt, 4 pairs of boxer shorts, 4 pairs of board shorts (like swim trunks, but I think they're a little longer), and a black pair of pajama bottoms and wife-beater to sleep in.
When he finished his joint, he sprayed some febreze and grabbed a bottle of water from his fridge.
He heard the door and he opened the door.
"I finished packing. You high?" Effy asked.
Barba was high, but he was still very focused.
Especially focused on Effy's body, but he was trying to restrain himself.
Effy was trying to compose herself as well…
Barba was shirtless in front of her. Effy let herself in and threw a t-shirt at him.
"Rafi, what do you wanna do? We've got 2 hours." Effy asked as she made herself comfortable on his couch.
Barba threw the shirt off to the side and put their bags by the door. He then made his way to the couch and sat by Effy.
"You know, you've been misbehaving, Elizabeth." Barba said, playing with Effy's hair.
"How?" Effy asked, taking a sip from Barba's water bottle.
"You teased me at the precinct." Barba said, pulling Effy on to his lap so she was straddling his waist.
"You deserved it, Rafi. You think I'll take what you said lightly? Uh-uh, no." Effy said, kissing his neck.
"Oh, Elizabeth, you know it's true." Barba moaned, as Effy started to bite his neck lightly.
Effy stopped and smirked. "Get up, Rafi. We've gotta go to the precinct now. It's 10:30" she flipped her hair and got up to go grab her bags.
Barba was half-hard, coming down from his high, and sexually frustrated. He smoothed out his hair and left with Effy.
THE PRECINCT
11:00P.M
The crew met up in front of the precinct after getting out of taxis.
Nick and Amanda were passing around a flask of jungle juice, Fin was smoking a cigarette, Sonny was flexing his muscles on a FaceTime video on his iphone for a pretty girl that was from California, and he was going to meet her when they landed.
"All right guys, let's get in this van and head to LaGuardia." Olivia said as she started helping everyone load everything into the trunk.
From the corner of her eye as she was offered a swig of jungle juice by Amanda, she saw Barba's muscles flexing as he lifted bags and put them away.
"Wow, Cocoa Butter, you've got it bad for Barba. Don't you?" Amanda said, lighting up a cigarette.
"You could say that, Georgia Peach. But he wants it too." Effy said, taking a hit from her vape.
"Alright, everything's packed. Let's get inside." Nick said, grabbing Amanda's ass and pulling her inside.
Sonny and Fin took the front with Fin driving and Sonny riding shotgun, Amanda and Nick sat in the middle row, and Effy and Barba took the back seat.
Effy got herself comfortable in the back seat and nestled against the window to catch a little nap. Barba had a better idea. He pulled Effy's head onto his lap and let her sleep. She smiled and let her eyes go heavy.
As she slept, he lightly stroked her hair and kissed her forehead. They didn't have to make out or tease each other; he liked just being around her. She made him feel good, she made him her priority, she knew his personality and she matched it; hell, she one-upped it.
Could it be…that Rafael Jose Barba was falling in love with Elizabeth Santa-Rosa?
AIRPORT: PRIVATE JET
"File in everyone. We'll be in Cali in 4 hours if we get on quickly." Fin said as everyone got off the van and headed to the plane.
Baggage handlers acted quickly, handing everyone their smaller bags to keep handy on the plane.
When the crew got on the plane, there were two lovely flight attendants waiting for them to sit down. Effy and Amanda sat next to each other, facing Nick and Barba. Fin sat in the front, listening to some jazz music on his headphones with a nice whiskey on the rocks, and Sonny kicked up his feet and decided to nap.
* Ding, Ding *
"Hello, good evening. I would like to welcome you all aboard Private Flight 7230 from LaGuardia Airport in New York to LAX in California. Tonight's weather is a pleasant 64 degrees Fahrenheit, light clouds in the sky, and a few lovely bright stars in the sky. Our two lovely attendants, Jannette and Kari, are at your service with whatever you may need. Please fasten your seatbelts, turn off all cell phones, and please, enjoy your flight. We will be taking off momentarily."
* Ding Ding *
The announcement from the pilot finished and the plane was about to take off. Barba and Nick were observing the lovely women across them.
Nick was staring at Amanda with some serious longing as he watched her long legs cross and uncross as she was having an animated conversation with Effy.
Barba was watching Effy's cleavage heave as she took sips of her water. He wanted to rest his head on them after a rough and wild night of hot sex.
But he had to hold himself.
"Barba's crazy for you" Amanda whispered in Effy's ear.
"What should I do?" Effy whispered back.
"Make him want it this weekend. Don't give it to him all up front, when the time is right, then he'll show you he's ready." Amanda replied.
"What are you gonna do about Nick? You two are practically all over each other outside of work." Effy whispered.
"Oh, yeah, I'm going to give it to him, every day this weekend." Amanda whispered simply. "We have a history" she added.
"Ah" Effy nodded.
4 HOURS LATER
"Attention NYPD, we have landed in Los Angeles, California. The time is 4:00AM. The temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit. We thank you for flying with us and we hope you enjoy your stay in lovely California and we will see you back here 4 days from today. There are cars waiting by this jet to take you all to a vacation home by the beach. Please exit safely. Again, we thank you for flying with us."
The pilot finished his closing announcement as everyone exited the plane.
Just like he said, there were 3 black Lincoln town cars waiting for the squad. The baggage handlers put the bags in their respective cars and chauffeurs held the doors open.
Nick and Amanda climbed into one, Barba and Effy boarded another, and Fin and Sonny got into the last one.
It was 5:30AM when they made it to the vacation house. The place looked absolutely beautiful!
However, everyone was so tired, so they put their bags down and they passed out on couches.
VACATION HOME
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
8:30AM
The four guys woke up, a little groggy, when they realized the girls were nowhere to be seen.
"And we'll go into Warrior One pose…" They heard Effy say.
"They're outside" Sonny observed, looking for a beer in the refrigerator.
Nick and Barba looked at each other and walked out to go see them.
"Horndogs." Fin said simply, looking for his pack of cigarettes.
Amanda and Effy were doing some yoga to help wake them up. It was pretty great for Barba and Nick to see them in tight black yoga pants, and sheer, loose tank tops.
"What's Downward Facing Dog look like?" Nick asked, breaking the silence as the girls were in Child's Pose.
Effy got up and stretched, helping Amanda up off the mat. "You know, boys, it's not nice to interrupt a peaceful morning yoga routine."
"Unless you guys wanna open your third eye, then be our guest." Amanda said, taking a swig of Vitamin Water.
"You wanna do yoga with us?" Effy asked, taking a hit from her vape.
"I think they wanna do yoga on us." Amanda answered, glancing at the guys, who were trying really hard to behave.
"Well, she's not wrong…" Nick added.
Barba shrugged as he came up between the two ladies.
"Maybe we should roam and see what the nightlife here has to offer. Explore LA by day; explore each other by night. Hm?" Barba suggested, as he put his arms around the pair's waists.
The four thought about that for a few minutes, and they all agreed.
"Sounds like fun" Amanda said.
"Sure, I could go for some dancing" Effy added.
"Amanda in a tight dress" Nick observed.
"I'll take it as a yes" Barba finished.
'Effy in a tight sexy dress, dancing all up on me, kissing on my neck…then some wild sex to follow' Barba thought giddily to himself.
"Wait, we haven't unpacked. Who's sleeping where?" Nick said, suddenly remembering that they all knocked out on couches earlier that morning.
"I'll sleep with Nick" Amanda offered.
"You already are, Miss Georgia" Barba shot, getting a hard elbow to the stomach by Amanda.
"I'll stay with Barba then" Effy said, with false defeat.
"Oh ha ha, rude one" Barba grunted, still a little hurt from that blow.
"In that case, you can carry my bags." Effy shot back at Barba.
"You can carry mine too, Nick." Amanda said, following Effy to the living room where Sonny and Fin were sitting, watching baseball on the big flat screen tv.
"So…Fin and Sonny…we thought about sleeping arrangements." Amanda said.
"The lovebirds can have the bedrooms upstairs. Sonny and I will take guest rooms down here." Fin said simply.
"One more thing. I don't wanna hear y'all fuckin' all crazy. I get we're on a vacation weekend, but ain't nobody getting' Fifty Shades of Not a Damn Thing. But if y'all are gonna fuck, keep it down." Fin added, as he made Sonny get up and they went to go put their bags away.
Sonny turned around quickly and asked "Anyone down for a threesome though?"
"Come on Night School, leave 'em alone" Fin yelled from the other room.
"Damn." Sonny muttered, grabbing his bag and running after Fin.
The group grabbed their bags and made their way upstairs.
The rooms were immaculate. There were big beds, mini-fridge by the doors, big closets, and a Jacuzzi in the bathroom.
Motherfuckers, those rooms were LIT!
Effy started putting her stuff away as Barba dived onto the bed. "Ohhhhh this is so comfortable!" He muffle-yelled into the pillows.
Effy turned around and put her hands on her hips, "Rafi. Y que haces?" (what are you doing?)
Barba rolled over and faced Effy. "This bed is so comfortable. FUCK!" Barba said, blissfully.
Well, I'm going to go change into something more leisurely so we can go out and finagle about the city" Effy said, grabbing her bag and dragging it into the bathroom.
Barba decided to follow suit and change into some jeans and a black v-neck. He decided to wear his converse low tops and he smoothed his hair out. All he had to do was wait for Effy to get out of the bathroom so he could wash his face and brush his teeth.
"Elizabeth, are you…ay dios mio. (Oh my god)" Barba was at a loss.
Effy left the bathroom with her hair straightened, make up done minimally, and her contacts in. She wore a black tank top, high waisted skinny jeans, black vans, and her simple nameplate necklace.
"You can go in now." Effy said, pouring herself a drink from the mini fridge.
After about 5 minutes, Barba was ready to go, while trying really hard to conceal an erection.
They left the room and waited for everyone else.
Nick and Amanda came hurrying down the stairs fixing their hair, smoothing out their shirts, and fixing their pants.
Sonny, Fin, Effy, and Barba tried to keep a straight face.
"Ah…hey…" Amanda said, fixing a loose strand of hair and pinning it back.
"Uh, did you guys have a quickie?" Sonny asked.
The two sheepishly nodded.
"Well, now that that's settled, let's go check out LA." Fin said, grabbing his sunglasses.
The group left the house and ventured about.
AMANDA AND EFFY WENT SHOPPING
BARBA AND NICK PLAYED SOME DOMINOES AND CHATTED WITH SOME OLD LOCALS
FIN WENT SHOPPING FOR SOUVENIRS FOR HIS FAMILY MEMBERS
SONNY FOUND THAT GIRL HE FACETIMED WITH AND SNUCK OFF TO GET SOME ASS. (BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE DOES)
LUNCHTIME (thank god)
The group got a table at El Compadre Restaurant and ordered a bunch of food.
(and beer)
"So, what's the plan tonight? Late night bar hopping and pool? Movie night with Chinese food" Sonny asked, in between forkfuls of chicken tamale.
"We're not in New York, we've gotta live it up!" Fin replied.
Everyone stopped and looked at him.
"What? You only turn up a few times in life, why not let it be this one?" Fin said, taking a sip of Corona.
"Fin's right. We've got to explore the nightlife here. Open up to what LA has to offer." Effy said.
"Let's go to a nightclub." Barba said.
Everyone stared.
"Oh shut up, it was just a suggestion." Barba said, sipping his Corona.
"Hey, Cuban Thunder's got something going there. Let's check out a club. See how California parties, huh?" Amanda added, helpfully.
"So it's settled then. We'll go to a club tonight. Let's head home and chill for a bit before getting ready." Nick said.
VACATION HOUSE
7:45 P.M
Balcony
Fin and Sonny sat outside smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey outside on the balcony.
"So, that girl. You gonna see her tonight?" Fin asked, taking a long drag from a Newport.
"If I find out where we're going, yeah. Most likely." Sonny said, taking a sip of whiskey.
"Take her home, maybe?" Fin asked.
"I don't know. I don't wanna inconvenience everyone if we wind up sexing it up." Sonny replied.
"Well, the walls are pretty strong. I'm sure it'll be fine. None of us heard Rollins and Amaro gettin' it on earlier." Fin said, chuckling.
"What about you?" Sonny asked, taking a drag from his cigarette.
"Not interested in booty. I'm looking to have a good time, have a few drinks, and make sure you all are okay. You're all adults, but vacations can get outta hand." Fin explained.
"I respect that." Sonny said, as the two clinked their glasses and enjoyed the quiet and fairly humid air around them.
Upstairs
(Effy and Barba)
"Elizabeth, what's on your mind?" Barba asked, as he watched Effy on the balcony. She shed her clothes and changed into short shorts and a t-shirt.
"…." Effy said nothing. She was watching the sun set as she sat on a lounge chair on the balcony.
Effy didn't want to say anything to him.
Why?
She was falling in love with Barba. She had promised herself that she wouldn't love anyone else after getting her heart broken in Chicago. She loved James, but when he hurt her, by sleeping with someone else and falling in love with them, she couldn't take it.
She drowned herself in work, she let her life pass without the love of a man. She didn't need that love, but she wanted to feel that again.
With Barba, she felt just that.
With him, it wasn't just about the sexual tension and physical attraction they had for each other. He was like her. He was a hardass that used work as an excuse for not letting people get close to him. He only let his family get that close.
However, it seemed like he let his guard down whenever she was near.
She sighed as she thought about that day when she woke up in his embrace; his arm around her, his breath on her neck, his nose buried in her hair, and the warmth of his body so close to hers.
'Creo que lo amo' (I think I love him) Effy thought.
Barba clearing his throat and offering her a drink stopped her thoughts in their tracks.
"Elizabeth, are you okay?" Barba asked, his green eyes searching for an answer, worried.
Effy shook her head and accepted the drink. "I'm fine Rafi."
The two sat in silence, until they drifted off to sleep for about an hour until…
"GIVE IT TO ME NICK!"
That shrill, ecstasy-filled shriek from next door ruined a perfectly good nap.
"Oh god, they're not…" Effy started.
"They are." Barba said, groaning as he got up.
Effy followed him out the door down the hall.
Barba rapped loudly on the door. "WE CAN HEAR YOU!" he yelled.
"YOU'RE RUINING THE MOMENT" Nick yelled back.
"YOU'RE RUINING MY APPETITE" Sonny yelled, coming up the stairs.
Fin could give less than a fuck and just stayed outside smoking his cigarette and chilling.
Effy decided to let the guys get annoyed and went back to the room she shared with Barba.
She sank to the floor and thought again about how she was falling for Barba.
It wouldn't be easy trying to admit that to him.
She shook her head and left the room, heading down the stairs into the kitchen.
She sat on a stool and munched on some Pirate's Booty cheese puffs.
"How do I tell him?" she said to herself quietly.
She sat there for a while, thinking.
10:00 PM
Everyone took their time getting ready and getting dressed.
Fin stuck to something simple. He wore a black button-down, short-sleeve shirt with black slacks and black dress shoes. He slicked his hair back and plucked his eyebrows.
Sonny wore a long-sleeve white button-down shirt with black pants and black dress shoes. He slicked his hair back as he started texting the girl he met with earlier. He might actually wind up taking her home. He spritzed on some Bleu de Chanel and undid a few buttons of his shirt. You know, pretty boy style.
Nick wore a light blue button-down long-sleeve with black jeans. He gelled his hair and shaved his face for a clean and smooth feel. He wore black dress shoes as well.
Barba wore a black long-sleeve button down with black dress pants and black dress shoes. He shaved his face and put on some aftershave lotion. He slicked his hair back and spritzed on some Armani.
Effy decided to wear a royal blue short bodycon dress with 4-inch tall black wedges. She curled her hair and sprayed it so it wouldn't fall flat while dancing her ass off. She wore minimal makeup but her eye makeup looked flawless. She decided to shed her glasses for her contact lenses. She had her manicure and pedicure done in a simple French tip.
Amanda opted for a black crop top and a high waist, skintight black skirt. She wore her hair down and curled (thanks to Effy), light makeup, and black wedges 3 inches tall.
Once everyone was ready to go, Fin ordered an Über black SUV to take everyone to the club.
What club, you ask?
They went to none other than Sound Nightclub.
SOUND NIGHTCLUB
LOS ANGELES
1642 N. LAS PALMAS AVE
12:30PM
The group made it to Sound, all in one piece. However, they were in shock and awe over the appearance of the venue.
Amanda and Effy heard the buildup to Smack! By Mike Cervello and Cesqeaux and made their way to the middle of the dancefloor.
Nick and Barba were merely staring at the girls as the song blared as they noticed the girls started dancing rather provocatively with each other.
"Whatever they're starting…" Nick began.
"We're going to finish it." Barba finished.
The guys went up to the girls and they started dancing.
Nick and Amanda faced each other and danced closely to one other, while Effy and Barba opted for Effy grinding on Barba with her back facing him.
"They're gettin' it in, for sure" Fin chuckled to himself, standing at the bar as he ordered a rum and coke.
"True, true." Sonny agreed as he all of a sudden came face to face with his California booty call, named Aria.
Sonny looked over at Fin, quietly apologizing.
"Go on, I'll be here when y'all are ready to go." Fin said, smiling as he locked eyes with a pretty middle-aged woman from across the bar.
After about an hour of dancing, Nick and Amanda went to the bar to have a drink, while Fin excused himself to go have a cigarette outside with the pretty woman he saw before. Sonny went to dance with Aria on the floor, which basically looked like sex, but wasn't.
(You get it)
Effy and Barba went outside to get some air in the back of the club, where there were very few people already standing outside, talking and drinking.
"Didn't think you liked that kind of music, Rafi" Effy said, checking her hair in the glass window. She smiled when she saw her hair still perfectly curled.
"That kind of music gets the blood pumping, it's fun, it's sexy, just like you." Barba said simply, smoothing out his hair.
"You think I'm sexy?" Effy asked, teasingly.
"Disarmingly" Barba replied.
Barba really wanted to tell her the truth…
"You're not just sexy. You're irresistible. You keep me up at night with thoughts of you. I would find the deepest contentment in just holding you in complete silence. I want to wake up next to you and have you return to me in bed with my arms wide enough to hold you and your soul in them. You disarm me with your eyes, your smile, your entire being. I want you, and only you. I love you, Elizabeth."
Barba wanted to tell her, but when?
"What about me, Elizabeth? Do you find me attractive?" Barba asked, turning the tables on Effy.
"Well, of course, Rafi. You're quite sexy." Effy said, charmingly.
But she really wanted to tell him more…
"Rafi, you're more than sexy. You're perfect. I always wonder why it's me that you're after. You always hit the most vulnerable points of my being and when I feel like I need to put up my walls and be alone, you're always there to show me that I don't need to be alone. You don't break my walls down, you build a door for you to walk through them and find me. With one kiss, my heart races, you lean in close to me, my soul cries out for you to hold me and touch me. You make me feel like a beautiful, complete woman. I can only imagine what making love to you would be like. Our sex, Rafael José Barba, wouldn't just be sex. It would be making love. Why? Because I love you, Rafi. I love you. I love you. I love you."
Effy held herself back from spewing her heart out of her mouth.
She pulled Barba back into the club as Major Lazer's song Powerful started to play.
"I love this song." They both said, looking at each other.
Effy started to walk across the floor to try and find the rest of the crew, only to be pulled back into the middle of the floor by Barba.
The rest of the crew came together and saw everything as Barba started to sing the lyrics to her:
"O lord of mercy
I'm begging you, please
I'm feelin' drained
I need love
You charge me up
Like electricity
Jumpstart my heart
With your love"
He spun her around and they started slow dancing in a sexy Viennese waltz.
"Wow." Amanda said, stunned.
"They've got it bad for each other" Fin observed, knowingly.
"This is love, in rare form" Sonny said.
"They don't know it yet." Nick added.
The four detectives, as well as the rest of the crowd, looked on in awe as Barba lifted Effy off the ground and spun her as her face leaned down, beaming at Barba, who smiled back as they both sang together to the music.
"There's an energy
When you hold me
When you touch me
It's so powerful
I can feel it
When you hold me
When you touch me
It's so powerful"
At the end of the song, Barba dipped Effy and kissed her, ignoring the cheers of the crowd and the detectives.
"Rafi…I have something to tell you." Effy said, breathlessly.
"I have something to tell you, too." Barba said, equally out of breath.
"They're gonna drop that L-bomb." Sonny said, reading their lips.
The other three detectives looked at him.
"I'm kinda tired." Effy said.
"Yeah, me too." Barba agreed.
"False alarm." Amanda said, reading their lips this time.
Everyone groaned.
The crew grouped up and they took Über cars home.
(A/N: Fin and Sonny wound up taking Aria, and Fin's new lady friend Simone home to the vacation house)
Effy and Barba were quiet upon entry to the house while Nick and Amanda ran up the stairs for post-club coitus.
Sonny and Aria went into his room for some cuddlesex. Cuddlesex is what Sonny calls it when you cuddle and then it leads to sex.
Kind of like Netflix and Chill…
But…not.
(you get it)
Fin and Simone sat outside on the balcony smoking and having a drink. He would eventually sleep with her that night, but he liked to getting to know her as a person, rather than to just use her and send her home in a cab in the morning.
Effy and Barba made it upstairs and they couldn't really look at each other in the eye at that particular moment.
Barba took off his shirt and pants. He shed his boxer shorts for his black pajama bottoms and no shirt. He was ready to call it a night for sure.
Well, he was going to call it a night, until he caught a glimpse of Effy when she exited the bathroom.
Effy brushed out her hair in her soft waves after she removed her makeup and contacts. She shed her sexy dress for a short, sexy, silky nightdress she bought from La Perla with Amanda earlier in the day.
Barba was speechless. The way her legs looked as his eyes traveled up her body, his heart started to race. She strode towards the bed and locked eyes with Barba.
"Rafi, baby, are you okay?" Effy asked quietly.
"I'm fine, Elizabeth. I'm just wiped out from all that dancing we did at the club." Barba replied, getting into bed with Effy.
Effy giggled, "Yeah, we did a lot of dancing. That was so much fun!" she said, as she got up to turn the lights off.
"Wait, dim the lights." Barba requested.
"Sure. Sounds good." Effy said, turning the lights down. She found some black orchid scented Febreze and sprayed it around the room.
Barba found his Pandora playlist labeled "When The Time is Right, Play This"
The first song on this playlist was "Walking on a Dream" by Empire of the Sun.
He played it on a charging stereo dock he found on the nightstand on his side.
"Rafi, how did you know I liked this song?" Effy asked, unsure about what was about to happen.
"That night you slept over, you played this as you danced around in my bedroom, then you played it again when you were in your apartment later." Barba said, reaching out to stroke her hair.
"Ah." Effy muttered.
"Let me give you a massage, Elizabeth. You look tense." Barba offered, motioning for Effy to turn around.
Effy obliged and turned around as she parted her hair to the side. Barba grabbed some warming massage oil and got started on her shoulders.
"Oh, ahh, that feels so nice, Rafi" Effy said softly.
Barba was trying so hard to keep still as he felt his erection getting difficult to conceal, but Effy was turned around and oblivious to the struggling and sexually aroused Barba behind her.
"Lay down, Elizabeth, We can work on your back if you'd like." Barba said in a musky voice.
As they started "I Wanna Be Yours" by the Arctic Monkeys began to play.
For some reason Effy couldn't put her finger on, she herself got sexually aroused when he talked to her like that.
Barba felt her aura darken, like she wanted something, but what could it have been?
Barba took it upon himself to confront her, once and for all.
"Elizabeth, Hermosa (beautiful), turn around." Barba said finally, no longer worried about his erection.
"Dime (tell me)" Effy said, now looking deep into his eyes.
"I don't know how to tell you this, but I think you're perfect. You're beautiful, kind, intelligent, and so sharp. Your beauty is like Paris in the morning; nobody has seen it in its most rare form than the lucky one that has risen before the sun hits the Eiffel Tower. Your beauty and strength is like a gift from the Gods, dangerous and wholesome. Your eyes burn into my soul and they never leave. I long for you, I stay up late at night with thoughts of you by my side. I no longer see you as just a friend, or a worthy adversary. I see you as someone I value, trust, want, need. But most of all, I see you as someone with whom I've fallen madly in love with. Elizabeth Santa Rosa, I love you." Barba finally said.
He laid his heart out on the table for her; now it was up to Effy to take it.
"Rafi. I didn't know how to tell you either. You disarm me with your entire being. You're this handsome District Attorney with the world on your shoulders. I don't know what I could possibly give you besides my affection, sass, and attention. Being around you is like a drug; I can't get enough of you. You don't break down my walls; instead, you build a door and walk through them to find me. You could come close to me, my heart stops beating, and when you aren't near, I feel so lost. Everyday, I want you more and more. You're irresistible to me, baby. You make my legs go numb and I can't think straight when you kiss me. Your touch is like flames touching my skin. You're everything I want in a man; you're smart, driven, practical, passionate, and amazing."
Effy took a deep breath and inched closer to Barba.
"Rafael José Barba, I love you too."
Barba's heart started beating faster as he leaned in and kissed Effy deeply, running his hands through her hair.
Ironically, the song "I Wanna Know What Love is" by Foreigner started to play as they engaged in a heated makeout session.
I gotta take a little time,
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines,
In case I need it when I'm older
"Oh my god, Rafi" Effy moaned as he started kissing and nipping at her lips. Barba knew he what he was doing; He was going to put Effy over the edge and make her see stars.
"You're irresistible" Barba whispered as he pulled her on top of him, rubbing her soft legs.
"I think it is you that's irresistible, Rafi" Effy replied as she leaned in and kissed Barba's lips.
The two pulled away, looking into each other's eyes.
For the first time, green eyes met each other and they could finally see what the other wanted.
"Oh baby, I need you" Barba whispered.
"I need you too" Effy whispered back
Effy could see Barba's eyes darkening, swirling with desire. Barba saw the same in Effy's eyes, wild desire running through the little flecks of gold he seemed to notice.
Now this mountain I must climb,
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine,
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
Barba grabbed her ass as he let his rough, dominant side take over. Effy let herself go and let Barba control the night.
"Baby, I want to see you, all of you." Barba whispered as he pulled her under him, kissing her neck down to her ample cleavage. He pulled at one of the shoulder straps and started kissing and nipping at her shoulder.
He loved the light moans Effy emitted from those perfect lips; those sounds drove him wild.
Effy's eyes fluttered closed as she felt the silky fabric slowly leave her body.
"Rafi, did you?" Effy asked, pulling Barba's face close to hers, kissing him lightly.
"Yes, I did, Elizabeth" Barba replied. He motioned for her to open her eyes. When she opened them, her silky nightdress was in his hand and saw him toss it to the side.
Barba couldn't believe his eyes. Elizabeth Santa Rosa was underneath him, as naked as the day she came to this Earth. His pleasant shock was when he saw that she wasn't wearing any underwear, at all.
"Oh, saints be praised, Elizabeth. Your body is the temple I need to pay tribute to." Barba whispered breathlessly as he marveled at the beauty of Effy's naked form.
He realized it wasn't fair to her and he shed his pajama bottoms and tossed them to the floor.
Effy was speechless.
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far,
To change this lonely life
Effy couldn't believe how, ahem, well equipped, Barba was. Aside from being a built man, strong arms, hard abs, (and a nice ass, for a man. I mean, he's Cuban, come on), the heat he carried below the waist was intense.
"Goodness, Rafael. You're like a Greek God." Effy said, running her fingers down his hard stomach.
"Oh, Elizabeth. I prefer Cuban God." Barba replied, taking her hand in his, letting their fingers intertwine.
He decided to take her wrist and pull her onto all fours.
However, he didn't take her yet.
He held her waist with one hand and let the other hand part her hair to the side as he bent down on her and kissed the nape of her neck down her back.
Effy felt herself shiver and her womanhood throb.
Her heart stopped as she felt Barba's hands travel up and down her body, stopping at her womanhood.
"Oh Elizabeth, your want grows, and so does mine" Barba whispered as he teased her with his manhood.
Effy couldn't say anything; she was enjoying the way he made her feel all over.
Barba grabbed her waist and flipped her over onto her back, so that she was facing him.
Watching her hair cascade across the pillows, her eyes soften for his own, her body seemingly glowing against the low glow of the dimmed lights, made Barba feel like the richest man in the world.
He bent down, showering her in kisses while traveling down her body. As he kissed her, he was face to face with her womanhood. He started kissing her inner thighs, barely grazing it.
"You're such a tease" Effy sighed, enjoying the light feeling he gave her.
"Is this teasing?" Barba asked, before diving in to kiss her womanhood. He used his tongue as he went in small circles around her lips and the bud.
"Oh my god" Effy groaned.
"You taste so sweet." Barba whispered as he continued going down on her.
"Oh baby, I'll always taste sweet for you." Effy whispered, running her fingers through his hair, lightly letting her fingernails drag across his scalp.
Barba stopped and crawled up to her and kissed her deeply, letting her taste herself on his tongue.
"I think I've kept you waiting long enough, Elizabeth." Barba whispered, nibbling on her earlobe.
"Have you?" Effy whispered, holding him close to her.
"I want you to take me. Please, make me yours Rafael. I need you, all of you." Effy whispered, looking into his eyes.
"I'll be gentle, Elizabeth. I promise." Barba replied, kissing her forehead.
Barba positioned himself in front of her womanhood, and pushed in slowly.
A breathless gasp.
A sigh.
A moan.
Effy belonged to Barba.
I want to know what love is,
I want you to show me
I want to feel what love is,
I know you can show me
Effy's hands found their way to his back as he thrust slowly into her. "Rafi, please go slowly…" she moaned.
"Of course, anything for you" Barba said quietly, kissing her neck.
The slow thrusting soon became faster as they got comfortable with each other's movements.
"Oh, god Rafi, that feels amazing" Effy gasped, feeling his hips move with every thrust.
His thrusts became a little rougher when she scratched at his back in response to his manhood pushing into her.
"Elizabeth you have no idea what you do to me" Barba moaned. His manhood felt her walls close in as he felt close to finishing.
But he wasn't finished with her yet.
He pulled out and pulled her on top of him. He lifted her hips and pushed his manhood back in.
"Haa…oh my god." Barba groaned as Effy moved her hips in a slow figure eight motion, letting his manhood explore her deeper.
"Your body is perfect." He said quietly as his hands found their way to her ass, edging her up and down on his manhood.
Effy couldn't speak. She felt mute as she felt Barba's hard body beneath her. He pushed her hips back and forth, making her body spasm.
She put her hands on his chest as she rode him, watching his facial expressions through heavy-lidded eyes. Effy saw his eyes go wide as she bent down and kissed him, her hair falling over his forehead.
His hands gripped her waist and turned her over on all fours, except he had her upper body on the bed and her backside faced up.
"I'll go slow." Barba said reassuringly, as he positioned himself at her womanhood from behind.
"Ahh! Wow, that feels so good!" Effy moaned into the pillows, as Barba started thrusting.
He couldn't believe how tight she was; he was feeling her walls tightening up around him with every push.
"You're tensing up, beautiful" Barba whispered as he reached for Effy's hair and gently started to pull it.
Effy enjoyed his rough, yet gentle, touches. She would someday want to go all out rough, but tonight was about taking it slow.
"Rafi, I think I'm going to…" Effy struggled to say in between thrusts. He was going to push her over the edge.
Barba's thrusts got faster as Effy clawed at the sheets, moaning louder and louder.
"Elizabeth, I…Oh shit" he said out loud.
The two peaked in the height of the moment as Barba seed and Effy's juices filled her up.
Barba and Effy detached, sweating and completely wiped out, and laid next to each other.
"Gods be praised, that was amazing, Rafi" Effy managed to gasp as Barba held her close.
"Mmm." Was all Barba managed to say as he felt Effy rest her head on the crook of his neck.
The two sat in silence as "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by Nina Simone played in the background.
"I love you, Elizabeth." Barba said before falling asleep.
"I love you too, Rafael" Effy replied, shortly before falling asleep herself.
END OF CHAPTER 5
Um… this took me 4 days. I'm not really proud of how it completely came out…but I did it.
I need a drink. Read, review, follow, and favorite.
