His soft pleading words and even softer lips invade her senses.  And before she can even think about it she is kissing him back.

Gentle hands ease her cardigan off her shoulders as they shift to lay down on the bed.

"Barry....   we shouldn't."

He moves his lips from hers, kissing across her cheek and nibbling on her earlobe before whispering heatedly in her ear.

"Why not?  And it's Sebastian, Ma Cherie."

That tone of voice, so full of repressed sensuality on his part really does ring of the old Sebastian Smythe attitude that she used to know.

That she missed and longed for.

And just like that she feeds into his whims. Pulling his face to hers, getting lost in his kisses as he runs his hands back down her sides.

Nimble fingers work on the side zipper of her strapless purple dress. Easing it down while his lips continue to devour her own.

And before she can even blink, almost without breaking their kisses, his hands ghost up her sides again and dress is lost somewhere besides the bed.

"No bra.... nice."

Shannon gives off a small gasp of surprise as he arches an eyebrow at her, the barest whisper of super speed leaving his lips before he dives back in for a kiss.

Her fingers, shaky and unsure, start working on the buttons of his shirt. Opening it up, palms skirting over flat, firm chest muscles.

As her hands map out his body once again, moving delicately up to his shoulders to push the shirt off them, Barry (is he Barry or is he Sebastian? She has to keep reminding herself) shivers slightly.

Brown eyes meet green.

Hands still.

"Bar.... Bastian, should we really be doing this?? You're..... you're married."

He shrugs off his shirt, separating from her to fully remove it from his arms. Shannon looks up at him confused as he slips off the bed.

"Barry??"

Barry... Sebastian stands and unbuttons his pants, making quick work of removing them along with his boxers and socks. Leaving him standing in front of her, completely naked and quite obviously aroused.

He climbs back on to the bed, moving stealthily closer to her.

"I told you before ma petit bébé, it's SEBASTIAN...."

Smirk is prominent on his face as he creeps closer, just a hairs breathe away.  Long fingers trailing up her legs until they reach the waistband of her panties.

"And there is no way we're NOT doing this."

His lips connect with her as he drags the last item of clothing separating them from her body. 

•••••••••••••

Cisco isn't sure how long he's been sitting in the Cortex, rolling Barry's wedding band around between his fingers.

Those flashes, vibes of what Barry is doing, that he got from picking up the ring.

Intense.

So very intense.

And he's not sure he can tell anyone about it either.  Iris would FLIP if she knew.

The clicking of heels draws his attention to the doorway just as Iris and Caitlin materialize in the entryway.  Although neither have notice him sitting there.

At least not yet.

".... what do you mean you don't know where he is?!  I NEED to get the kids home.  It's getting late."

Caitlin sighs as they both step through the doorway.  Her voice is soft.

"How am I supposed to keep track of Barry for you?  He's YOUR husband Iris."

Iris's irritated expression is enough to cause Cisco to chuckle slightly.  He catches himself before it's too loud. But in the quiet room sound carries and soon two sets of brown eyes are on him.  With Iris stomping over in his direction.

Well shit.

Quickly he pockets Barry's ring as he stands up.

"Where is my husband?!"

Cisco sigh and puts his hands up in defense.

"Last I saw him he was talking to Shannon."

Iris eyes flash, she's angry.

"With Shannon?!  He's already ran off with that....  that trollop?  He couldn't even wait until things were finali....."

Iris's words trail off uncertainly but now Cisco is the one who is upset.

"No Iris, you DO NOT call her that.  Shannon is your husband's BEST FRIEND.  His oldest friend.  Someone who was there for him back in highschool, when the world went pear shaped and he thought everyone abandoned him.  Even you."

Iris takes a few steps back, so unused to people standing up to her like this.  Acting almost as if he slapped her instead of just raising his voice slightly.  Her eyes narrow.

"How would you know Cisco?"

A wicked smile graces his tanned features as he retorts back.

"Because unlike you, I actually LISTEN to Barry."

Shocked, Iris opens her mouth to speak only to be interrupted by Caitlin.

"Shannon told me she was saying a quick goodbye to everyone before her flight home to Ohio.  Something about moving back to help her pregnant sister-in-law and a job at a school there. I bet Barry just needed some time alone before seeing everyone else again."

Iris crosses her arms in front of her chest and huffs.

"Fine.  Whatever.  But if either of you see him, tell him I'm taking the children with me.  He'll know what I mean."

And with that she stalks out of the room. 

Caitlin comes closer to Cisco once she is sure Iris is long gone.

"Do you know where he is??"

He pulls the pulls the wedding ring out of pocket and holds it up so she can see it. Voice tinged with defeat as he speaks.

"I've got a pretty good idea of where he is and WHAT he is doing."

•••••••••••••

The portal opens and Cisco steps out into an ornately decorated room.  A hotel room.  The main area is only lit with the small lamp on the bedside table.  He can't see Barry OR Shannon from where he is standing.  But he can see their clothing strewn about the room.  Bed rumpled.

And not SLEEP rumpled.

Soft music is playing and he hears giggles from the bathroom area. 

Slowly he creeps across the room, trying to get close enough to see what is going on without being seen himself.  And see he does.

In the bathroom, in the whirlpool tub, surrounded by bubbles is a clearly naked Barry.  A very naked Barry with Shannon....  from this viewpoint it looks like she is straddling him and...

Oh my.

He really doesn't need to see his friends in that type of situation.  Quickly he spins around prepared to open another breach to take him back to Central City.

Only then does a piece of paper on the bedside table draw his attention. When he gets close enough to pick it up he's so shocked he almost gasps aloud.

It's divorce papers. 

Barry is divorcing Iris.

So that's what she meant by thinking he would wait until after. And taking the kids.

Cisco sets the packet of papers back down on the table and then thinking better about it, he digs into his pocket, withdrawing the ring as well.  Placing it beside the papers on the table. 

You better know what you're doing Barry Allen.

Then he opens up a portal and heads back to the party at Star Labs.

(The beginning of this one was a little intense.  I'm not usually good at writing this quasi-sexual stuff. Hope you all like it. And thank you -obliviouschloe for lighting a fire under my ass and asking for an update on this one. 💞 Shann)
