You have all been responsible for helping motivate me to keep this story going and I have found so much happiness in providing this story for you all.

Chapter 7: White, Blanco

ANGELINI OSTERIA

LOS ANGELES, CA

9:00PM

The crew found a big group table in the back of the fancy restaurant to get situated. They decided to play a game while they waited for someone to tend to them. It was a busy night at the restaurant so they knew it would be some time. They didn't care.

"Okay, so why don't we play Cards Against Humanity? I always keep my deck with me in my purse when I get bored with coworkers." Simone asked.

Everyone loved that game. It was always so awkward and morbid; that's what made it fun.

(A/N: If you have never heard or played that game, please look it up. It's available on the Apple app store and Google Play if you don't want to pay for the deck at a card shop, or online.)

"I'm game, let's deal these cards then." Nick said.

The waiter soon came after the start of the first round of the game and they ordered some appetizers and drinks.

Effy got a bad chill going up her spine as she caught a glimpse of someone dressed in all white walking past the window facing the side of their table.

Barba caught a glimpse of this too, also noticing Effy's facial expression almost falter.

"Baby, did you see that?" Barba asked her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"I did. Who could that have been?" she asked.

"Something wrong?" Sonny asked, genuinely concerned at this point.

"We saw someone in all white. They didn't look distressed in any way, but the way they were walking, they were looking for something."

"Could be someone, too." Amanda added, taking a sip of her water.

"Did anyone bring their guns and badges?" Aria asked.

The group, with the exception of Simone, who had a smile on her face, looked at her with confusion.

"I'm LAPD. I carry 24/7. Simone is LAPD too." Aria said.

"How did you know we were NYPD?" Nick asked.

"That one's an easy one. Sonny's accent, Fin's I heart New York lock screen on his phone, Nick's Yankees cap, and Nick's badge when he left it on the table when we first came over." Simone explained.

"You girls are something else." Effy said, slowly getting up.

"Hey, waiter…would you please excuse us? There's some suspicious activity nearby and we'd like to take a look. We're LAPD and our friends here are NYPD." Aria asked nicely."

"Oh, please, go right ahead. Should you return, your meals are on the house. Thank you for your service to our city, and to our brother state, New York." The owner said as he stepped in.

The detectives, featuring Barba, made their way out in a hurry, to catch up with the person in white.

3 BLOCKS AHEAD

Yelina strode across the street into a church. Upon entering, she saw the crosses and letters in neon lighting, similar to the Verona Beach Church from Romeo+Juliet, starring the then young, wide-eyed blonde Leonardo DiCaprio. (A/N: Google it.)

She saw a priest locking things up; he seemed to be getting ready to lock up.

"Oh, hello, madam. Would you like to pray before I leave? Or perhaps, you'd like a blessing?" The old priest asked with kind eyes.

Yelina shook her head, as she raised her gun.

The priest's eyes widened as she pulled the trigger.

She shot the priest in the heart, in cold blood.

"Forgive me father, for I am about to sin." She whispered, running off to the back of the church, looking for a sound system and a window.

2 BLOCKS BEHIND

"Did anyone hear that?" Effy called out to the squad. A shot was fired two blocks ahead of them. The crew ran in the direction as Aria called into her phone to her commanding officer. "All units respond, there has been shots fired in the direction of the Church of Deliverance. As we run, we see that the church doors are open and we suspect the shots were fired inside."

The crew ran up to the church, hearing music. The song "Little Lies" by Fleetwood Mac played through the church.

"Enter in slowly, lay low." Simone mouthed slowly as she led them in.

If I could turn the page

In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two

Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way

So I'll settle for one day to believe in you

Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

What they saw horrified them.

The priest lay dead in his own blood at the altar, with a single gunshot to the heart.

He had a note written in paper left on his face.

"Let me read that." Nick said, cautiously approaching the note.

"I loved you."

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)

Oh, no, no you can't disguise

(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

"Who could have done this?" Effy asked.

"I'm glad you asked." A voice called from a balcony.

The group looked up and saw Yelina.

"You killed an innocent man, a man of God." Fin yelled out to her.

"He may have been innocent, but he stood in my way, much like Elizabeth standing in my way of being with Rafael." Yelina countered as she made her way down the stairs.

When she emerged in front of everyone, she had the silver gun in her hand.

"Let's act rationally, put the gun down, and let's talk about this." Simone said calmly, as everyone had their guns pointed at her.

"I'd rather not talk." Yelina said, shooting Amanda in the arm, Aria in the leg, and Simone in the shoulder. Fin, Nick, and Sonny ran to their aid and carried them off to the side.

That left Effy and Barba standing.

"Put your gun down, Elizabeth. I'd rather settle this physically." Yelina said, putting her gun on top of the altar.

"Yelina, if this is about Rafi, you don't have to do this."

"This is way past that, Violetta." Yelina screamed. Yelina called Effy by her middle name when she was pissed off at her, and this was one of those times.

"You have always been on his good side. He looked after you, and you always got his affection. You never upset him, shit, you never upset anyone. Everyone loved you, and they still do. Do you know how hard it is when people compare me to you? I excelled in school and it was never enough. When I did Model U.N. in high school, I was in a dark place. I messed around with guys while I dated Rafi because I felt like he loved you even when we were together. I never wanted him to find out, but Eddie had to open his fucking mouth and ruin everything." Yelina said, her eyes welling up with tears.

"You have no right to blame Eddie. You only have yourself to blame." Barba said, stepping in front of Effy.

"You hurt me, even when I did nothing but be there for you. You're hurting yourself. You killed a priest and shot three cops. You have a husband and three daughters, who you'll probably never see for a long time because of this." Barba added.

"They have their father, and his mistress. They don't need me anymore." She said, reaching for her gun.

Effy couldn't take it anymore. She stepped off to the side and faced Yelina.

"Put your fucking gun down, bitch. You're going to have to get through me if you plan to make it out of here." She said darkly.

"I've been waiting for a showdown like this for such a long time." Yelina said, taking off her shoes and veil.

Effy put her hair up in a tight bun and took off her flannel and shoes.

The song "Pillz" by Flosstradamus and Yellow Claw & Green Velvet began to play in the background.

"Let's fucking do this." Effy said, handing Barba her gun.

Yelina and Effy ran towards each other, Effy throwing the first punch at Yelina's mouth. Yelina spit her blood in Effy's face, causing Effy to claw at her face in retaliation.

Yelina grabbed Effy by the hair and threw her against a pew. Effy hit her spine on the on the end of the pew and struggled to get up. Yelina walked toward her, giving her a blow to the stomach. Effy yelled in pain as Yelina slapped her repeatedly with the back of her ring hand. Effy reached for her pepper spray and sprayed it directly into Yelina's face.

As she backed away screaming in agony, Effy ran and delivered a high kick to Yelina's mouth, sending her into a pillar of holy water. Yelina dunked her face into it and re-emerged in front of Effy, grabbing her gun.

Effy pushed loose strands of hair from her face, but before she could look up, Yelina shot her.

Effy hit the ground, lying at Barba's feet.

"ELIZABETH, NO!" everyone screamed.

Barba knelt in front of Effy, holding her and kissing her face. "Please be okay, please wake up!" he pleaded.

"I win." Yelina breathed, with a sick smile on her face.

She began staggering toward the door with her gun in hand, until she suddenly dropped to the floor.

Unbeknownst to Yelina, Effy wasn't dead.

"Help me up" Effy mouthed quietly to Barba. Barba motioned for everyone to put their guns down and be quiet.

Effy did her best to be quiet as Barba helped her up.

With every ounce of strength she had, Effy stood behind her, with her gun in her hand. Her finger was itching to pull the trigger.

"Hey bitch! I believe I'm still standing." She called out to Yelina.

Yelina looked in anger, shock, and fear.

"Drop your gun, and keep walking." She added, as Sonny tackled Yelina to the ground, using Aria's cuffs to restrain her.

"You ambushed me, you fucking asshole! Get off of me, I'll fucking kill you and drag you to hell!" Yelina screamed, attempting to thrash about.

"Yeah, yeah, shut the hell up, you crazy fucking broad." Sonny grumbled.

"Yelina Muñoz-Vela, you are under arrest for the murder or Father Carlos Antongiorgi, and the assault of three officers. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law…" Sonny said, reading Yelina her rights.

"All units do not shoot. The assailant is cuffed and being escorted out by Dominick Sonny Carisi of NYPD, Elizabeth Santa Rosa of NYPD following closely behind." Aria said breathlessly into her phone.

When they all came out, the front of the church was swarmed with police cars and ambulances.

Barba ran up behind Effy, holding her as she walked. The shot didn't hit her; it hit her dog tag necklaces and got stuck in between them.

"Get these girls to a hospital." Effy breathed as she laid on a step, Barba standing close to her.

Fin, Nick, and Sonny held the girls hands as they were lifted into the ambulances and hauled off to the hospital.

"THIS ISN'T OVER!" Yelina screamed from the back of a police car as it drove off.

"For you it is." Effy said quietly as she gave Yelina the finger.

"Are you two okay?" An LAPD officer asked Effy and Barba.

"We will be. Will you drive us to the hospital where the ambulances are going?" Barba asked.

The officer kindly obliged and helped him put Effy into a car.

CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTER

870 BEVERLY BVLD

LOS ANGELES, CA

"How are they, doctors?" Nick asked the three doctors as they emerged from the emergency room.

"They're all doing just fine. All three girls are asleep, would you like to come in so you can be there when they wake up?" they asked.

The three men nodded as they followed them in.

Effy and Barba made it shortly after the three went in to see the girls.

Barba let Effy rest on his lap as he stroked her hair. Her head felt heavy as she dozed off and slept.

"You know, I don't think I'd know what to do if I lost you." Barba said to his sleeping Effy.

"My heart stopped when she shot you. You tried so hard to defend yourself when she attacked. In you, I saw that fire erupt from your belly. You went wild with rage, and I felt like you were going to make your last moves on this earth. I looked on with fear as you and Yelina fought. I didn't want you to die. We had so much left to do together. I wanted to take you to Paris, skinny dip in a rooftop swimming pool, eat popcorn in Central Park, play fight after losing in video games, play Dance Dance Revolution on a rainy day, and just countless other things. I truly felt like I loved you all those years ago, and the fact that I could tell you I love you was already a stepping stone to hopefully being together forever. If you were to die, I'd die with you." Barba said, tears streaming down his face.

To his surprise, Effy turned over, her own eyes puffy with tears.

"Rafi, do you want popcorn? We have some at the house and we can cuddle until your arms gets numb" Effy said, smiling and crying.

"All of the popcorn, Effita." Barba said, smiling through his tears.

He propped her up and wiped her tears away with his thumbs.

"Let's go see how the girls are doing, yeah?" he asked her.

Effy nodded and he helped her before walking in with a doctor that was tending to one of the girls.

The girls had woken up and were talking to the guys when the two girls walked in.

"You're up and about, Cocoa Butter, how'd you even survive that shot?" Amanda said, wide-eyed.

"My dog tags trapped it before it could even hit me. All I had on me was gunshot residue." Effy explained.

"That push to the pew must have fucked up your back somehow though." Simone said.

"Oh it hurt like hell, but I'll be okay." Effy said, as Barba helped her into a seat.

"That Yelina woman, must have had some demons in her closet." Sonny said.

"To some degree. She hurt others to feel something, but it wasn't meant to last long. I think after I left her was when she realized that something inside her snapped. She was always competitive, but never chose her battles wisely." Barba explained.

"Do we need to know why you left her?" Fin asked.

"She messed around with guys behind my back. She claimed to love me, but how can you love someone like that?" Barba replied.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"She really caught us off guard when she shot us." Aria said. "I wanted to tase her ass so badly. That or rip out her fucking hair extensions."

"They're extensions, we wouldn't blame you for that at all." Barba quipped.

Everyone shared a laugh as the doctor came in.

"Well ladies, you're all doing great. We did manage to take out the bullets from each of you, your wounds have been taken care of and they'll heal up very soon, and you only need to take these prescribed painkillers for 3 months. You're all able to go home in about an hour. Your discharge papers have been covered."

As the doctor left, she let in one of the officers that were outside the church earlier that night.

"On behalf of LAPD, we want to thank the NYPD for their help in this crime. Armendariz (Aria) and Francois (Simone), you have served your city well. We apologize for you being hurt in the line of duty. Here are jackets provided by the city to cover up as you exit the hospital." The officer said. He saluted the girls and took his leave.

The three girls, with the help of Fin, Sonny, and Nick, draped the jackets over their clothes.

"I think it's time to cut this trip short." Nick said, stroking Amanda's hair affectionately.

"Let's at least do lunch at that place we were at earlier. They said the meal's on them anyway." Sonny suggested.

"Stay the night with us, Aria and Simone. We'll let you borrow some clothes." Effy offered.

Aria and Simone accepted and within the hour the group was able to leave the hospital.

There were cars ready to take the group home.

VACATION HOUSE

The group dispersed and made their way to their respective rooms.

Nick and Amanda made their way to their room, and Nick spent the rest of the night holding her, watching tv as she slept.

Fin and Simone spent the night talking and drinking.

Sonny and Aria played 20 questions.

Barba and Effy, however, sat together in silence. He helped her into her nightgown and robe, and brushed her hair as she sat still.

He took off her necklace, with the bullet still lodged in between the tags, and set it aside.

He removed his own clothes, changing into a wife beater and black pajama bottoms.

When he turned around, he saw Effy trying to get up. He hurried to her side and helped her up.

"Can…can you get me some water?" Effy asked softly.

"Of course, baby. Just sit right there." Barba kindly obliged. He got her cold bottled water from the mini fridge and brought it to her.

Effy nodded and took the water bottle.

"Baby, are you okay? You look so sad." Barba asked, worried.

"I'm just still so shaken up. I could have died tonight." Effy said, her voice breaking.

After a few seconds, Effy started bawling her eyes out.

Everyone heard her and they made their way to the room she and Barba shared.

"I never knew that this could even happen. I never thought that Yelina would go as wild as she did. I can't understand why she hated me so much. She had everything in the world and she could have whatever and whoever she wanted. Why would she go after me? Just because you loved me? She had a family, a husband, and kids! Her life was going so well; she was established." Effy sobbed into her pillow.

"It's not your fault." Nick said.

Effy and Barba looked up. Barba motioned for everyone to come in.

They surrounded the bed, trying to comfort her.

Looking up, Effy tried wiping her tears.

"You all could have died, because of a petty fight. I never wanted you all to get hurt because of me. I'm just so sorry. I'm sorry. I am truly, truly sorry." Effy said, crying once again.

"Cocoa, we never leave a fellow detective behind. You're one of us. You're family. You know we loved you the minute you walked in through the door." Amanda said, kissing Effy's forehead.

"Effy, I know we only met briefly, but I feel so close to you. You've been such a delight to have around and I've never seen any detective fight so hard and get back up like that. You're one in a million." Simone said, smiling at Effy.

"I can't be the only one that thinks that you're also pretty damn ballsy. You beat Yelina's ass and we thought she killed you. I'll be damned if I'm the only one that thought that you still look good after a fight." Sonny said, trying to break the tension.

Everyone laughed and agreed that Effy still looked good after the confrontation.

"Plus, I don't think Barba would know what to do without you." Aria added, looking up at Barba who was holding Effy tight.

Everyone nodded.

"I think a selfie is in order." Nick said, grabbing his phone.

Everyone was pajama-clad and for the most part, in good spirits.

They all squeezed in for a selfie and captioned it "Team No Sleep".

They all decided to pose for more pictures and someone played some music on a stereo and ordered a pizza.

Effy's smile grew. Her teammates turned friends, also turned family, made the best of the situation and as a result of it, their bond grew.

Barba went and grabbed some beers and everyone had a mini turn up session in their room.

"Not Your Father's Ginger Ale, anyone?" he called to everyone.

Everyone grabbed one and they went to town on the loaded meat lovers' pizza in front of them.

"Let's play truth or dare, who's in?" Sonny asked.

"Yeah!"

"Okay"

"Fun!"

"Let's do it!"

Everyone sat in a circle and Amanda came back with some candy she bought, so whoever was going to do a mouth-to-mouth dare wouldn't have to taste pizza.

"Since Sonny thought of playing the game, he'll ask the first question." Simone said.

"Alright. Ah, Aria. Truth or Dare?" He asked.

"Dare." Aria replied.

"Drink the rest of your beer."

Aria had a little more than half left over, so she shrugged and chugged it down.

(A/N: Not Your Father's Ginger Ale has an average ABV (alcohol by volume) of 5.7%)

"Effy, Truth or Dare?" Aria asked.

"Truth." Effy replied.

"Whom, among the girls, would you have a one-on-one lesbian encounter with?" she asked.

"Ah, since I am bisexual and I only know one other bisexual in this circle, it would have to be Amanda." Effy said simply.

"You too, Cocoa." Amanda said, popping gummy bears in her mouth.

"Nick, Truth or Dare?" Effy asked.

"Let's make it interesting. Dare." Nick said, taking a sip of his beer.

"Kiss the male that's most attractive to you." Effy drawled.

Things were heating up very quickly, not that anyone minded.

"Okay, fair enough." Nick said as he dove in to kiss Barba full on the mouth.

"I didn't think he'd do it." Effy said, watching them kiss right next to her.

When they came up for air, Barba nodded. "This got interesting."

Everyone got a little quiet.

"I don't know about y'all, but that was…eventful." Fin said, chuckling.

Everyone shared a laugh.

"Barba, Truth or Dare." Nick asked, taking a scoop of gummy bears.

"Truth." He replied.

"What did you think of that kiss?" Nick asked.

"You could use a little less tongue, but it was pretty damn good." Barba said, raising his eyebrows.

"I'll make a mental note." Nick laughed.

"Fin, Truth or Dare?" Barba asked.

"I'll take truth for 500" Fin replied.

"Hm…have you slept with Simone yet?"

"4 times." Fin said, taking a swig of beer.

Simone drank to that testimony. "We can go for 5 later." She whispered to him.

Fin smiled and put his arm around her.

"Alright, Sonny. Truth or Dare?" Fin asked.

"Ah, I'll take dare." Sonny said.

"Tell us an awkward boner story." Fin said.

"I have too many. There's this one time though when Sarge was yelling at us because we almost fucked up a case and I thought the authority she had when she was angry was so hot that it just kinda happened. Amanda, you were there. You slapped me upside the head and said to stop looking at your Instagram photos when I wasn't. I should have because you got so defensive haha." Sonny said.

Everyone busted out laughing that Barba got the hiccups when he reached for his beer.

"Alright, so….Amanda, pick your poison. Truth or dare?" Sonny asked.

"Dare." Amanda said, while rolling a blunt.

"Once you finish rolling that blunt, take a long hit and shotgun it to the person of your choice. Then we can do a two-puff pass." Sonny explained.

"Okay, cool." She said, while running the lighter across the blunt before lighting it. Once she lit it, she took a long drag and reached for Effy's face.

"Whoa!" everyone said as she shotgun passed the hit to Effy, kissing her in the process.

"I suddenly love peaches." Effy said after kissing Amanda.

"You ever thought of a poly-amorous relationship?" Simone asked.

"Call it crazy, but I don't like to share, unless it's evenly balanced. You know, two guys and two girls?" Amanda explained, passing the blunt to Simone.

"Truth or dare, Simone?" Effy asked

"Dare" Simone replied.

"Point to the person you'd have a threesome with. Fin is already the other person, but pick the third person." Effy said.

Simone pointed to Sonny.

"I've never slept with a white guy before. Call it crazy." Simone said, passing the blunt to Fin.

"I'll allow it." Fin said, passing the blunt to Barba.

"Truth or Dare, Effy?" Simone asked.

"Truth." Effy said.

"What did you think when you got transferred from Chicago to New York and met everyone?" Simone asked.

Effy thought for a moment.

"Well, I thought 'oh fuck, I'm going to get eaten alive.'. However, I was wrong. Everyone was so friendly and forthcoming to me. I was really excited to take in what New York had to offer me in the police department. I loved it more when Rafi, Barba, was so taken aback by seeing me again after so long." Effy sighed.

"To be fair, I didn't think you'd come back to New York looking so fucking hot." Barba said quickly, passing the blunt to Sonny.

"You thought I was hot?" Effy said, jokingly.

"No shit, Elizabeth." Barba said, kissing her forehead.

"Well thank you." Effy said, getting the blunt from Sonny.

"Well, let's turn up some more. Blast that music, fam." Sonny said to Barba as he got up and put on some music.

Barba put on the song "Hell of a Night" by GTA and Sandro Silva.

The girls got up and started dancing on each other while the guys watched and passed around the blunt.

"Our girls are some kind of perfect." Nick said, observing the girls dancing on each other rather close.

"They are." Sonny agreed, taking a hit from the blunt and passing it to Aria.

"Come dance with us, guys!" Aria said after blowing smoke into Sonny's lips.

Sonny got weak in the knees for Aria when she danced with him. All he could do was nod weakly and pull her away from Simone.

The other three guys followed suit and went up to their girls.

It became an all out filth fest. (Well, not totally filthy).

In between beer, weed, pizza, and candy, the crew was all over the place. They were dancing and making out with each other, and some clothes were shed.

"So is anyone getting laid tonight?" Nick yelled.

Everyone cheered in agreement as they carried on their festivities. The guys and girls passed another blunt around as they danced provocatively on their fellow partners, anticipating the rest of the night heating up later on.

Everyone started getting a little frisky as the music got sexier and the weed was getting to them. Nick and Amanda snuck away to their room for some sex, Fin and Simone went downstairs to occupy the couch, and Sonny and Aria ran off to their room to ravage each other.

That left Effy and Barba alone in their room once again.

"That was so much fun!" Effy sighed, falling back on the bed.

"Very fun indeed" Barba agreed, leaning in to kiss her.

Effy kissed him back as he got on top of her. As they started making out, Effy felt Barba's hands go up her short nightgown and slip off her underwear.

"Can we?" Barba asked, kissing her neck up and down.

"Of course." She replied, pushing him away, looking deep into his eyes.

Barba kept kissing her neck, snaking a hand in her nightgown and feeling her up.

"You're so soft." Barba murmured as he kissed and nipped at her neck.

He took it upon himself to kiss and bite her as he ran his hands up and down her body under the thin silky fabric.

"Rafi…" Effy gasped, her fingers lightly dancing on his back.

Barba's body heat against Effy's felt almost white hot. Effy knew when his body heat grew; his want for her did as well.

Barba wanted to be inside her so badly, but he wanted to make her want it first.

He saw a bag of skittles on the nightstand by Effy's side of the bed and he had an idea.

Barba pulled her up close to him, his hands on the hem of Effy's nightgown. He raised the nightgown up, showing her naked body softly glowing against the low, dim light in the room. As he pulled it off of her, he grabbed the bag of skittles and then tossed the silky cloth on the ground.

He then made Effy lay on her back as he got on top of her.

Barba took skittles out of the bag and placed some in a line down the valley of Effy's breasts ending at her womanhood.

"Stay very still, my love." He instructed before kissing her and taking each skittle in his mouth until he was facing her womanhood.

"Ah…" Effy groaned quietly as she felt him kiss her folds and lightly run his tongue across her nether regions.

Barba started to enjoy himself immensely as he rubbed her nub in a small circular motion, with the skittles still in his mouth.

"Sabes tan dulce (Tastes so sweet)" He whispered, looking up through heavy-lidded eyes at Effy writhing from the pleasure.

"Papi…" was all Effy managed to say, feeling his tongue suddenly in her womanhood.

Barba suddenly stopped and slipped off his bottoms. He crawled up to her and placed a light kiss on her lips.

"Ready?" Barba whispered as he positioned his member in front of her already painfully throbbing entrance.

"Si (yes)" she replied.

Within seconds, he was inside her and started thrusting slowly, the way he liked it.

"You're so perfect." Barba groaned, holding Effy's hips with every thrust.

He leaned down, letting her legs wrap around his waist. Effy pulled his neck down and started kissing and biting his neck, causing the thrusts to get rougher.

"Ah fuck" Effy moaned, in between kisses as they both started to sweat. Barba could feel her body slightly trembling at the intensity of the thrusts.

Barba was reeling as he thrust faster, enjoying how it made her feel.

"Oh, Hermosa (beautiful) you're so…tight." Barba whispered as he thrust harder.

Effy couldn't say a word. All she could do was grip the sheets with one hand and scratch his back with the other.

Barba enjoyed watching Effy's facial expressions as he continued to ravage her.

They went on with their lovemaking until Effy raised her hips to meet Barba's thrusts. The sounds of their lovemaking intensified.

Names were moaned out loud.

Sweet Spanish nothings were whispered.

Moans, groans, cries, and gasps rang throughout the room. The two bodies were holding each other tight as their sex progressed in a rapid rate.

"I…"" Effy choked out, in the height of it all.

"Y-yes?" Barba gasped as he ground his hips into hers.

"I love you!" She replied breathlessly as she felt herself coming.

"I love you too…oh my god…." Barba cried out, feeling his seed spill into Effy's womanhood.

The two wearily collapsed beside each other as they tried to gather themselves.

"My love, I could have sworn I saw stars…" Effy murmured, breathing deeply to regain control.

"I wanted you to." Barba replied, grabbing a towel. He bent down and wiped the sweat from Effy's forehead and chest, then did the same to himself.

Effy reached for the covers, putting them over the two.

Barba then reached for the lights and shut them off, shifting closer to Effy.

"Rest, my love. We've had quite a day." Barba whispered, kissing Effy's forehead.

"Okay babe. Goodnight. I love you." Effy said softly, kissing Barba lightly on the cheek.

"I love you too, sweetheart." Barba replied, putting his arm around her shoulder as they nodded off to sleep.

Well, Effy was able to sleep; Barba, however, the poor guy had to stomach through hearing some of his team getting busy.
