Covert Affair [Snowbarry Spy AU]

Guilt

Caitlin woke up in an empty bed, which didn't surprise her but she couldn't help feeling disappointed. After Barry's nightmare, she hadn't expected him to stay long. They hadn't talked about it, but judging on the way it had affected him, Caitlin could tell that the nightmare had been an intense one. Something on the back of her mind was telling her that maybe it was related to the night they had spent together. But she quickly chased that thought away.

It had been perfect. Barry had been perfect. She had never thought two people could be so much compatible together. She had never felt anything like it. Plus, she had been able to witness first-hand how working out had shaped his body. Saying she had liked what she had found under his shirt would be an understatement. She bit her lip to keep her smile from widening at the thought. Without much success. She just wanted to cuddle back into his arms. Like right now.

A sound in the kitchen brought her out of her daydreaming. Surprised, Caitlin got out of bed, straightened Barry's shirt she had been sleeping in and padded to the other room. She found a crumpled-haired, bare-chested, tired-eyed Barry sitting at her table, waiting for the coffee to brew, his eyes staring at his hands, lost in his thoughts. What she would give to wake up every morning with this sight... Preferably right next to her in her bed.

"Hey." She whispered and he slowly lifted his head to look at her.

Barry's lips stretched themselves across his face, his smile reaching up, forming small wrinkles at the corner of his eyes. "Hi" he croaked, his voice thick from sleep and she could've sworn his eyes were glistening. Her heart fluttered at the sight and she almost felt dizzy. Then he frowned and nodded in her direction. "Is that my shirt?"

She looked down to the blue button down she was currently wearing before her eyes flew back up to his. After their nightly activities, Caitlin had quickly gone to the bathroom to get ready for sleep. On her way back, she had snatched his shirt up the floor to put it on. "Hmm no, that's mine." She replied playfully and continued as he raised an amused eyebrow. "I decided to try out a new look, what do you think? I could go to work like this right?"

Barry chuckled and his slumped shoulders shook at the same time. "You better not."

Caitlin slowly made her way to him. He looked so tired, the lack of sleep visible from the small wrinkle on his forehead. But making him smile lightened up his whole face, making her want to do everything possible to keep that smile on his lips. "And why is that?"

"Because you're not wearing any pants under my shirt." He threw one arm around her thighs as soon as she was in his reach, and brought her closer to him, making her gasp in surprise. She took hold of his shoulder to avoid falling down on him and she looked down at him still sitting on a chair. She found his eyes way darker than usual. "And that's a look only I am allowed to see." He groaned.

Caitlin's heart fluttered and she ran a hand through his hair. Behind his desire-darkened eyes, she could spot a hint of worry. She could tell that his nightmare was still floating on his mind. Maybe some distraction was in order. Caitlin sat down on his lap so that she would straddle his legs, snaking an arm around his neck while the other hand was still messing up his hair.

Barry let out a second groan as he gripped her waist, welcoming her in his arms. The young woman dropped kisses along his jaw and then down the column of his neck. "If you don't want me to get out wearing it, why don't you help me take it off?" She teased as she found his pulse point. She had to smirk when she felt his heart miss a beat.

She felt one hand grip her head to bring her lips to his and she had to let out a moan of contentment at the contact. Was it possible to miss the feel of someone's lips not even 5 hours after the last kiss? Caitlin would've thought the idea crazy a few days ago and now it felt perfectly normal.
