Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Lisa's stomach fell as the full weight of his words sunk in.   She dropped his hand, scanning the room for something, anything to focus on to keep the tears from falling.  As hard as she tried, they defiantly fell, silent and in abundance.  

“Oh.”  She paused then began again pleading. “You have to believe me, I never wanted to end it. I am so sorry for breaking us.  I just..I just want a second chance.  It will be different this time.”

That was enough reassurance for him. Sonny lowered his head to meet her gaze.    

“I’ll never not love ya.”

He pulled her in for a deep kiss. The embers that had been smoldering quickly turned into an inferno.  What started as slow and tender,  became heated and frenzied.  Sonny reached down, pulled Lisa’s shirt up over her head and relished the feel of his hands skimming her bare back.  Lisa reciprocated by lifting his shirt up to his chest which he quickly finished removing and tossed aside.  

He held her tightly, one arm wrapped around her waist and the other running up her back with his hand cupping the back of her head.  After a few minutes, Sonny pulled back slightly.  

“Lisa.”

“Hmmm.” Lisa mumbled against his neck.  

“Bedroom.”

Lisa wasn’t sure if it was a question or a demand, it didn’t matter.  She rose and headed towards the room.  Sonny followed only pausing briefly to remove his boots.  Lisa wouldn’t let go of his neck so he took them off one at a time, awkwardly balancing on one foot bumping into the wall as he went.  Lisa spun him around while pushing him towards the door, working his belt buckle loose, unbuttoning his jeans and lowering his zipper as they went.  Once the back of Sonny’s legs hit the bed, she pushed him down playfully.  Lisa reached down, grabbing his jeans at the ankles in an attempt to yank them off.  It took three tries.  They both were laughing by the time she got him free of them.   Sonny propped himself up on his hands, admiring her as she removed her shoes and peeled off her pants.  She stood in front of him with only her bra and underwear remaining.  

“Take off yours and I’ll take off mine.”  Lisa negotiated.

Sonny didn’t delay, standing up and slipping off his boxers, only to have Lisa push him back down onto the edge of the bed.   She took a few steps back giving him a full view as she began keeping her side of the bargain.  She unclasped her bra, allowing it to slowly slide off one arm then the other, catching it.  She held it up, raised her eyebrows and allowed it to fall to the floor.   

“You sure do know the way to this Texan’s heart.”

She smirked at him as she hooked the tops of her lace panties with her thumbs, wiggling her hips to free them.   Gravity took over and they flitted to the floor, leaving them in a pile at her feet.   Lisa stood with her hands on her waist, allowing Sonny to soak in every inch of her curves.  

“Come here.”

When Lisa reached Sonny, he firmly placed his hands on her ass pulling her to him.  She bent down and kissed him, her hands running through his curls, his hands running up and down her body.   

Lisa straightened a bit to look at Sonny’s face.  She spoke softly, “Hi.”

“Hi.”  

“I have missed you.”

Sonny gave her waist a squeeze and winked at her.  Lisa melted all over again.  When she bent to kiss him again, Sonny suddenly wrenched her around and onto the bed.   Lisa let out a squeal.  Hovering over her he growled, “What do you want?”

“I want you.  I just want you.” 

 Lisa looped her arms around his back and urged his body towards her own.  

She didn’t need to elaborate.  Sonny knew exactly what Lisa wanted and how she wanted it.  He took his time, working his way up and down her body with hands, fingers and tongue.  At points it was soft and sensual and others she was begging for release.  Lisa returned the favor in spades, using her hands and mouth to bring him to the brink of climax several times before pulling away.  It only intensified his desire to take her fully.  Once neither of them could hold out any longer, their bodies came together with a feverish pounding.  Both were left with racing hearts and heaving chests, and the sensation of total contentment.    

Lisa lay there stroking Sonny’s face.  “You know you scared me.  I thought you were going to turn me down.”

“Well, you should know better.”  Sonny’s voice was sleepy and his eyes were closed.  He pulled Lisa closer, soaking in the scent of her hair.  

“I should?” Lisa played with his arm.  

“Ya, I mean, who else would put up with my night terrors.”

Lisa shook her head, reaching over to turn off the light.  

“Good night, Quinn.”

“Night, Davis”

 

Long after the sun rose, they laid in bed entangled in each other's arms.  Sonny was still soaking in this new reality.  He was back in Lisa’s bed, and back in her good graces.  She was willing to risk her career to be with him and he was determined to make it worth it.  He would do anything to be with her, but one question kept nagging him.   

“What made you change your mind, you know, what made you reconsider? “  He paused to let Lisa answer but she was quiet.  

“It’s the Quinn charm, aint it? ….I mean, I can’t blame you.  We are irresistible.”

“Charm?” Lisa rolled her eyes.  “Is that what they’re calling it these days?” 

“Now, be nice Missy!” Sonny gave Lisa a light pat on her rear. 

She giggled then let out a long sigh.  A somberness fell over her face as she ran her hand up and down Sonny’s arm.  

“You know, thinking of all the things Ray was going to miss,” Lisa’s gaze stayed fixed on his shoulder. “Everything his family was going to miss if we didn’t get him back… How devastated Naima and the kids would be.  I just…it just made me realize all the things I was missing.”  Lisa shifted to look at his face. “At the end of the day, this job isn’t going to love you back.”

“That’s the truth.”  Sonny reached up, grabbed her hand and kissed it.  

 “So let’s not miss anything else.” 

“Yes, Ma’am.”

Lisa snuggled up to his chest and began placing kisses wherever her mouth met his skin.  Sonny savored the feeling of her lips, while lightly tracing his fingers along her spine. She shivered at his touch.

“I can uh…I can think of some things you might have been missing.”  There was a playfulness in Sonny’s tone. 

“Oh, realllllllly?”

“Would you… you know…just for the sake of demonstration of course… would you like me to refresh your memory?”

“I mean, for the sake of demonstration, of course just for...”

Lisa’s phone buzzed. She groaned and buried her head into his chest in frustration before quickly reaching over Sonny’s shoulder to grab her phone.   

“It’s Command, I’m getting called in. I’m sorry.” 

“Now? You’ve got to be kidding me.”  There was no hiding his irritation.  Sonny dropped onto his back forcefully, closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath while wiping his hands down his face in exasperation.

He felt the sheets being pulled away and the bed shift.  He assumed Lisa was getting up, but then he felt a weight on top of him.  Sonny opened his eyes to a glorious view, Lisa straddling him.   

“Uh, Davis, you’re going to be late.” 

“Shhhhh.”  Lisa placed her fingers on Sonny’s mouth and began to grind against him.  

“Don’t talk…just do.”  Adding quickly, “But do it fast.”

“Get on your hands and knees.”

Lisa dutifully complied.  

Sonny positioned himself behind her, using one hand to knead and pinch her nipple and the other to press and tease her clit.  He swiftly brought her to climax.  Lisa moaned and before her breathing could return to normal, Sonny slammed into her.  He buried himself deep with one hand on her shoulder and one hand on her hip.  He moved at a frantic pace, bringing Lisa over the edge for a second time.  As she shuttered and tightened around him, Sonny’s release followed.  He collapsed with his chest against her back, still kneeling behind her.  It took a few moments for both their post orgasmic brains to clear and for them to catch their breath.  When they did, they rolled to their sides facing each other.

“That quick enough?” 

Lisa smirked and nodded.    

“Thank you.”  Sonny leaned over for one last kiss.

“Just doing my duty for the team, you know.”  Lisa had a mischievous look on her face.  

“The team, huh?”  Sonny chuckled. 

“Ya…”  Lisa smiled slyly,  “I was just thinking of the boys if you get spun up.  No one wants to work with frustrated, grumpy Sonny.”  She swatted him on the leg and hopped out of bed.  

“Oh…Okay, Well, I thank you for them.” 

“Happy to serve,”  Lisa called out as she disappeared into the bathroom to clean up and get dressed.  

Sonny grabbed his phone, ordering an Uber to take him home.  He began running through his mental checklist of what he would need if Bravo got called in: shower, food, and his go-bag.  Luckily his second bag was fully prepped and sitting at his apartment.  When Lisa was in charge of logistics, she forced the team to prep two bags, it saved him more times than he could count.  He assumed this would be the case today as well.  

As he watched Lisa run through her checklist, he marveled at how organized she could be and the speed at which she could get ready.  Lisa opened the closet, grabbed her boots, and bag and sat on the end of the bed.  Once she tied her boots, she stood and turned towards Sonny.  

“Pretty sure Bravo is getting spun up…so you might want to get ready.” 

“Oh, I’m ready now.” 

Lisa laughed, “See you in a bit Petty Officer.”

“See you in a bit, Ensign.”

Lisa bounded out of the room grabbing her jacket as she passed through the door.  Sonny was swinging his legs over the side of the bed when Lisa returned and pulled him in for a deep kiss.  

“I have really missed you.” 

She didn’t wait for a response before she ran down the hall and out the front door.    

Lisa was right, Sonny’s phone buzzed 2 hours later.  He was already halfway to base.

Notes:

I love SAVIS and wish there were more writers who continued/fill in what we didn't see. I am not a writer...I am a shipper who tries to write the story she see in her head.

Next up: Sonny and Lisa spin up
