Chapter Text
Maya looked up at the sign above the door that read “Joe’s bar”. She knew it wasn’t a good idea but the long day at work left her tense and Maya Bishop had one tried and tested stress relief technique. After back-to-back calls throughout the day all she needed was a few glasses of whiskey and an easy hookup. An efficient way to distract herself from the tragedies she had seen at work.
She trudged in, hands in the pockets of her bomber jacket, still feeling the weight of the day. The bartender caught her eye as she slumped down on a bar stool and passed her a glass.
“The usual?” he suggested while reaching for a bottle of Jack Daniel’s. She nodded and gripped the glass as he served her. Taking a sip, she grimaced at the slight burn in her throat. Something about the alcohol reminded her why she was at the bar in the first place and she adjusted her posture. Her eyes flicked around the dimly lit room, taking in the options. A few vaguely familiar faces caught her attention, likely doctors and nurses who she had run into at some point while on aid car duty. Luckily no one too familiar was around which left her to get on with her evening activities uninterrupted.
Blue eyes met hers from across the room, a short ginger woman in a tight green dress. Her face told Maya exactly what she needed to know and she downed the rest of her drink, preparing to approach the woman. Just as she was thinking about getting up, someone slipped into the bar stool next to her and she paused for a moment. She chided herself for getting distracted when she had one aim that night and the aim was currently dancing with a group of friends, shaking her hips while making eyes in Maya’s direction. Despite that, something made her wait. She kept her eyes on her glass, slowly circling her finger around the rim.
“Hi. White wine please” came a voice. The woman had a thick accent which made Maya stop for a second to think. She was definitely European but Maya’s time at the Olympics hadn’t quite taught her how to distinguish between countries. She took a chance and glanced up, gasping softly at the sight before her. The woman had brown hair, curled slightly and sitting just below her shoulders. She had a burgundy blouse on and had unbuttoned it enough to show off her perfectly tanned chest. Her side profile was beautiful with a curved nose and sharp jawline. Maya forced herself to look away before she got carried away staring.
As the bartender placed a glass of wine down on the counter Maya stole one more quick glance at the mysterious woman next to her while she was distracted. Her smile made Maya’s heart flutter but she looked down at her empty glass before the woman would notice. Despite keeping her head down Maya could tell when the woman’s attention shifted to Maya. Her breath caught in her throat as she felt the woman’s brown eyes taking her in. She stayed silent, keeping her head down. Whoever this woman was, she was out of her league.
A voice cut through her thoughts suddenly.
“You look familiar.” came the voice again. Maya took that as an invitation to look up and the second their eyes met she let herself smile slightly.
“Yeah, I drink here a lot,” she replied, unable to break eye contact.
“Uhh, no” said the woman. She stared into Maya’s eyes for a moment. “Were you at the hospital earlier?” Maya quickly thought back to the multiple casualties she had brought through Grey Sloan’s emergency room that day. She had no recollection of the woman in front of her.
“Yeah, I was… I was bringing in patients all day” she said “I’m a firefighter.” At that point the woman grinned at her and nodded.
“Yes that’s it you dropped off a patient of mine. From a big car crash I think? I’m Dr Carina Deluca.” she said, holding out her hand for Maya to take.
“Lieutenant Maya Bishop” Maya replied, taking Carina’s hand and shaking it with a smile. “So you’re a doctor? What’s your specialty?”
“I’m an OBGYN,” replied Carina. “I’m actually here doing research at the moment but the OB department was short staffed and they needed some extra hands when the trauma came in” she explained. Maya nodded, listening carefully to the beautiful woman sitting next to her.
They talked for a while about the patients, then moved on to discussing mutual friends they shared thanks to the constant overlap between Grey Sloan and Station 19. The conversation flowed smoothly. When Maya asked Carina about her research, Carina proudly explained her groundbreaking study into the female orgasm as a natural pain reliever. Maya felt a blush spread across her face as Carina continued to explain with such confidence.
“How on earth did you get Dr Bailey to approve that?” she asked, wincing at the idea. Carina chuckled at Maya’s slight awkwardness.
“I must have caught her on a good day. I mean all I really need for the research is access to the MRI machine so she didn’t take much convincing,” she added, laughing as Maya shook her head at the thought.
Later into the night, Maya and Carina were both several drinks down and were much closer than before, leaning into each other’s space a lot. Their conversation stayed light, with both of them talking about work, Carina describing her life back in Italy (once Maya had worked out that she was in fact Italian) and Maya talking about her win at the Olympics. Maya was unsure why she had spent so much of her evening getting to know Carina. She had come to the bar that night to find someone to have sex with. Maya had never gotten to know any of her self care hookups before but something about Carina intrigued her. Every new piece of information left her wanting more.
“I can’t believe you won gold! And on a sprained ankle too!” laughed Carina, her hand resting on Maya’s bicep, gently stroking the skin there. “You must have some great stamina,” she announced slyly, winking at Maya. Maya held eye contact with her, their faces lingering too close for comfort.
“Wouldn’t you like to know Dr Deluca” she whispered her eyes flicking to Carina’s lips. The energy between them was becoming all too much and before Maya knew what was happening Carina closed the gap between them, pressing her lips softly to Maya’s. Her hand slid slowly from its place on Maya’s bicep to her cheek, cupping Maya’s face as their lips brushed together. Maya pulled away for a second and looked into Carina’s eyes, slightly breathless.
“Would you like to come home with me tonight?” she asked. Carina smiled at how direct she was. Her hand stroked the blonde’s sharp jaw as she gazed into her blue eyes.
“I would love to,” Carina replied with a smile, before leaning in to kiss Maya again. Maya’s hands found her waist as they kissed and for a moment they both forgot that they were very much in public. Carina slowly stopped when she remembered she was surrounded by colleagues but the blush that was staining Maya’s face made her ache for more.
“Come with me” Maya whispered as she grabbed Carina’s hand. Carina reached for her bag, slammed a few notes on the bar to cover the pair's drinks for the night and let Maya drag her out of the bar. The night air hit her as they stepped outside and she wrapped her arms around herself.
“Cold?” Maya asked as she pulled her phone out, quickly booking an Uber back to her place. Carina nodded, shuffling from one foot to the other as Maya finished on her phone.
“Just a little” she said, her eyes glued to Maya’s lips. Having now had a taste, she was desperate for more. Maya put her phone away and smiled at the woman standing in front of her.
“Maybe I can help keep you warm until the Uber gets here” she suggested, wrapping her arms around Carina’s torso. Carina raised an eyebrow at Maya.
“Oh really? What did you have planned, Lieutenant?” she asked, her arms snaking around Maya’s neck, pulling them closer together. Maya glanced around, making sure they were alone before pulling Carina’s body flush against hers and leaning back in for another taste of her lips. Carina giggled against Maya’s mouth.
“I like this plan.”
After a quick Uber ride full of risky touches and soft kisses, they arrived at Maya’s apartment. The second the door closed Carina was back in Maya’s arms, kissing her again. Maya held her body tight not wanting to let her go. She quickly untucked Carina’s blouse from her fitted trousers her hands exploring Carina’s torso under her shirt as their lips continued a steady fight for dominance. Carina slowly licked along Maya’s bottom lip, requesting entry and as their tongues met Maya let out a low moan. She slowly started to unbutton Carina’s shirt.
“Is this okay?” she asked, her voice low and husky. Carina nodded frantically and helped Maya with the final buttons, sliding her shirt off her shoulders as she looked around the apartment.
“Bedroom?” she asked Maya.
“Right I’ll show you round…later” she said laughing while grabbing Carina’s hand and pulling her into her bedroom. She took a moment to look at Carina properly. She had a black, lacy bra on which made her full breasts look so hot and Maya couldn't keep her hands away a second longer.
“God you’re gorgeous” she whispered and she grabbed Carina by the hips, carefully pushing her down onto the bed and straddling her. She kissed Carina again, grinding her hips down slightly, needing some friction. Carina tugged at the hem of Maya’s henley shirt.
“Bella, you have too many clothes on” she said sighing as Maya lay gentle kisses along her jaw. Maya briefly paused to tug her shirt over her head and then took Carina’s face in her hands, staring into her beautiful brown eyes, almost getting lost in them. She paused for a moment looking down.
“Carina, you should know that I’m not looking for anything serious at the moment. I don’t know if i made that clear but I only really do casual…” Carina cut her off with a bruising kiss, her tongue sliding into Maya’s mouth to silence her rambling.
“If that’s the case” she panted between kisses “we need to make this a night to remember.” Her lips trailed down Maya’s neck and sucked lightly under her ear causing Maya to gasp.
“Oh you like that?” whispered Carina, gently nibbling on Maya’s ear lobe before returning her lips to the sweet spot on Maya’s neck. Maya let out a soft groan and grinded down on Carina’s lap again, the seam of her jeans providing little relief. Carina pulled away from Maya’s neck and looked up at her.
“Will you lie down for me?” she asked. Maya nodded without even thinking. Carina could’ve asked her to steal the moon at that moment and she knew she still would have done it for the mesmerising woman below her. She slowly clambered off Carina’s lap and unzipped her jeans pulling them down her legs, her panties following soon after. Carina’s jaw dropped slightly as Maya revealed her body.
“Do you work out a lot?” she asked, licking her lips as she took in Maya’s faint abs and muscled thighs and arms. Maya smiled at the attention and shrugged.
“I have to for my job. Not everyone can lift 2 grown men at the same time babe” she announced as she playfully flexed a bicep. Carina giggled at her and rolled her eyes.
“Get on the bed idiota.” Maya quickly unclipped her sports bra, tossing it on the floor before lying on the bed, feeling slightly exposed as Carina stared at her naked form. Carina slowly stood up and discarded her remaining clothes. Maya watched eagerly and felt a throb between her legs as Carina undressed in front of her and slowly crawled towards her on the bed. She straddled Maya, quickly rocking down to leave a small wet trail on Maya’s abs, moaning loudly at the contact between her clit and Maya’s muscled stomach, before rising on her knees again, her hands trailing across Maya’s chest.
The blonde gazed up at her, her pupils so dilated that most of the blue from her irises was gone but her eyes still shone in the dim lighting. She slowly stroked up and down Carina’s sides and Carina leant down to kiss her again, softly licking inside Maya’s mouth. Maya never usually kissed much but something about kissing Carina made her feel warm. The way the doctor’s lips moved languidly against her own was hypnotic and she found she couldn’t get enough of it.
Carina turned her head and started to kiss down Maya’s jaw and neck. Maya was a gasping mess as Carina’s lips explored her chest, leaving small marks on Maya’s collarbones. She quickly rocked back up to place a quick peck on Maya’s lips before returning her attention to Maya’s breasts. She looked up at Maya to check what she was doing was okay and Maya nodded.
“Fuck don’t stop” she groaned her hands running through Carina’s hair, encouraging her to continue. Carina carefully palmed Maya’s left breast and Maya moaned beneath her. Carina smiled before dipping her head and pressing a few gentle kisses to pebbled areolas before taking Maya’s hard nipple between her lips and lightly sucking on it.
Maya squirmed beneath her, gripping the sheets as Carina’s lips worked against one nipple, her hand softly rolling and pinching the other. Maya’s cheeks were red and she panted softly, the teasing driving her slightly insane. She needed more.
“Carina I need you to touch me…” she growled “please I need it.” Carina looked up at Maya begging for her.
“I already am bambina,” she whispered, a sly smile crossing her face. Maya groaned as Carina lightly bit down on her nipple.
“Please,” she gasped. Carina decided she had teased her enough and slowly lowered herself down between Maya’s legs, leaving soft kisses along her stomach and hips. She slid her fingers through soaked folds, spreading Maya open and stared at her swollen clit.
“Wow, bella you’re gorgeous.” she said before leaving a soft kiss to the hood of Maya’s clit. Maya let out a soft gasp, her hands tangling in Carina’s hair again.
“No one has ever called that part of me gorgeous before” Maya said with a slight chuckle before letting out a long moan as Carina ran her tongue along the length of Maya’s slit. She locked eyes with Maya as she did it.
“Well trust me I would know, I’ve seen many” she said with a wink before leaning down and licking Maya, a soft slow rhythm that started at her opening and led up to her clit. Maya’s hips shot up at the sudden contact and she let out a loud moan.
“You taste so wonderful Maya” she said, pulling away momentarily. Carina returned to her spot against Maya’s pussy and set a steady pace, moving her tongue up to flick against Maya’s clit as she slowly slipped a finger inside. Maya moaned again, softly pulling on Carina’s hair.
“Fuck yes baby, don’t stop” she called as Carina slipped in a second finger. She started to slowly pump in and out of Maya who was leaking juices all over Carina’s fingers, soaking her knuckles. Carina reached her free hand up to softly palm Maya’s breast, causing Maya to shudder in pleasure.
“Another..” Maya whispered, her eyes rolling back and closing as Carina’s fingers hit her g-spot again and again.
“What was that, bella?” Carina asked, quickly returning her tongue to Maya’s clit.
“Another finger baby” Maya managed through moans. Carina felt herself throb from hearing Maya beg for more. She carefully slid in a third finger and Maya let out a silent scream, her walls so tight against Carina’s fingers.
“God don’t stop Carina, I’m so close please” she squealed as Carina continued to pump her fingers while licking persistently. With one last curl of her fingers, Carina felt Maya tighten around her, her thighs tensing around her head.
“Fuck, Carina I’m cumming” she yelled as Carina’s fingers were coated with more slick. Maya’s body rocked beneath her as she released, a constant stream of moans filling the room. Carina continued her movements to carry Maya through and as she felt Maya start to relax she pulled her fingers out slowly. Maya hissed at the loss of contact but was startled when Carina’s fingers returned to her swollen, sensitive clit and started flicking back and forth at a fast pace.
Carina looked up at her, biting her lip as Maya made eye contact. Maya’s head then tipped back as she tried to steady her breathing but the only thing she could focus on was Carina’s fingers moving against her. Carina moved herself up Maya’s body and leaned down to kiss her, her fingers still rubbing Maya’s bud. Maya could taste herself on Carina’s tongue and it drove her insane. The pressure between her legs was already sending her over the edge. Carina softly bit down on Maya’s bottom lip and that was all it took to bring her to orgasm again. Her head tipped back in a silent scream and Carina left gentle kisses across her lips and cheeks as she came.
Carina rolled onto her side, propping herself up on her elbow to look at the woman below her. Her fingers traced patterns against Maya’s toned stomach and Carina found herself smiling at the satiated expression on Maya’s face. Once she had caught her breath, Maya’s eyes flickered back open. She gazed up at Carina, a huge grin on her face.
“That may have been the best thing I’ve ever felt,” she confessed, giggling. Carina gave her a confident smirk before leaning down to kiss her again.
“You’re welcome” she replied with a cocky tone. Maya wrapped her hands around Carina’s head pulling her close, gently sucking on her bottom lip before licking along the length of it. She left a light kiss against the freckle just below Carina’s mouth before returning to her lips. They made out for a while, an experience so foreign to Maya. After sex she usually pulled her clothes back on and the night was over. But something about the way Carina’s lips felt against hers and the way she tasted made Maya grasp her head tight, holding her in place. She then realised that the night had been entirely about her, something she never normally did as she likes to stay in control.
Maya carefully tugged at Carina’s hips, encouraging her to straddle her again. Carina obeyed, her hands sliding over Maya’s biceps and shoulders as she looked down at her. Maya bit her lip, looking up at the stunning woman on top of her, an idea forming in her head.
“Will you sit on my face?” Maya asked playfully while tugging at Carina’s hips. For a moment Carina looked shocked at the request then she smiled.
“Are you sure Maya?” she asked, gently caressing her face. Maya nodded eagerly, pulling Carina’s waist to emphasise her point. Carina leant down for a quick kiss before shuffling up Maya’s body until she was kneeling over her face. She gazed down at the big blue eyes staring up at her.
“If you want me to get off at any time just” she hesitated “I don’t know just tap my ass or something” she suggested. Maya giggled and looked up at her.
“What if I want to grab your ass at any point?" she asked, a smirk spreading across her face. Carina raised an eyebrow at her.
“Fine, just push me off then” she said and Maya nodded before wrapping her arms around Carina’s thighs and quickly licking up, the tip of her tongue brushing Carina’s swollen clit. Carina let out a loud gasp at the sudden contact and before she knew what was happening Maya’s strong arms were pulling her hips down so she could properly eat Carina out. Carina moaned loudly, her hips grinding down naturally to match the pace of Maya’s tongue.
Maya lapped against her persistently, her tongue starting at Carina’s clit then slowly sliding down before entering her. She felt Carina’s hips rocking and jerking against her face and pulled away for a second.
“Use my face babe” she whispered and Carina nearly came just from hearing those words. Maya’s tongue returned to Carina’s dripping pussy but this time she just stuck it out and let Carina grind against her as she needed. Maya’s hands snaked up Carina’s stomach and grasped her perky breasts, squeezing them before carefully pinching her hard nipples between her finger tips, causing Carina to tip her head back and moan loudly. She continued flicking Carina’s nipple with one hand while the other slowly traveled down her back and grabbed one of Carina’s ass cheeks, very gently digging her short nails into the skin there.
Carina whimpered as she rode Maya’s face, leaving evidence of her arousal smeared all over Maya’s cheeks and chin and nose. The combination of Maya’s tongue lapping against her, Maya’s fingers playing with her nipple and the gentle pinch of Maya gripping her ass had Carina on the edge. Suddenly Maya slipped her tongue inside Carina’s cunt and that was all it took. She let out a loud groan and pushed down hard against Maya’s face as she came, riding out her orgasm against Maya’s chin. She slumped down next to Maya, eyes closed and smiled.
“Just give me a minute” she whispered, her breathing heavy as she felt gentle hands stroking up her sides. It was something Maya never did but she felt so safe in Carina’s presence and knew she wouldn’t be judged for wanting to look after the woman lying beside her. Carina’s eyes fluttered open after a moment and she giggled at the sight of Maya’s glistening face, her hand shooting up to cover her mouth.
“Bambina, I am so sorry” she said with a smile “I think I got a bit carried away” she whispered as she stroked Maya’s chin. Maya smiled back at her before leaning in to kiss the brunette, her hand snaking around her waist gently. Carina left soft kisses across Maya’s face, carefully cleaning her cheeks. Maya knew she was blushing, the moment too intimate to be considered casual.
“Should we shower?” Maya asked, wanting an excuse to be near Carina for longer. An excuse to touch her more. Carina nodded and Maya pulled her up, guiding her to the ensuite.
Maya and Carina spent half an hour in the shower, carefully washing each other and sharing messy, wet kisses under the shower head. Once they were finished Carina stood awkwardly in a towel at the foot of the bed, watching Maya rummage through a brown chest of draws.
“Should I leave now?” Carina asked, carefully reaching for the small heap of clothes she had left on the floor. Maya spun around fast.
“No” she said, too eager considering they had only just met. “I mean..” she panicked, knowing she was sending slightly mixed messages “it’s really late” she added, quickly saving herself. “You should stay the night, if that’s okay with you, and go home in the morning. I would feel better knowing you’re safe.” Carina smiled and nodded at Maya’s suggestion and soon she was sat cross legged on Maya’s bed wearing an oversized Station 19 t-shirt and a pair of Maya’s boy shorts.
Maya walked in, carrying two glasses of water and smiled at the sight.
“You look nice in that shirt” she commented without thinking “maybe time for a career change?” she added with a grin to try and make the comment less meaningful. Carina smiled at her, slightly confused by Maya’s insistence that she wanted something casual despite her sudden caring demeanour, and surprising offer to sleep over.
“I think the 7 years of medical school showed I’m quite loyal to my current career” she quipped. Maya sat down beside her, an awkward tension filling the room. They stayed in silence for a moment, Carina watching Maya who kept her eyes firmly on the comforter.
“So I can sleep on the couch if you don’t want to share, it’s up to you” Maya said, still avoiding eye contact. Carina gently placed her hand under Maya’s chin, tipping her head up so Maya had no choice but to stare into her eyes.
“Maya I just came all over your face, I have no issue sharing a bed with you. Unless you don’t want to?” she asked, knowing Maya had been clear with her intentions for the night. Maya shook her head quickly.
“No, no I’d like to.” she insisted. Carina smiled.
“Okay” she said and stood to lie down. Maya watched as she pulled back the covers and slid into the side of the bed Maya always occupied. Normally Maya would have said something but Carina looked so beautiful with her slightly tangled hair falling in her face. Maya couldn’t bring herself to mention it.
“Are you going to join me or are you just going to sit there staring?” Carina asked, raising an eyebrow. Maya felt a blush spread over her face and quickly climbed over to the other side of the bed, reaching to turn the light out. She turned to face Carina and felt a slight dip in her stomach at the sudden proximity.
“Would it be weird to kiss you goodnight?” Carina asked. Maya’s immediate thought was NO DON’T DO THAT. She had rules for a reason. She never let people stay the night. She never did any of this aftercare stuff. She never let her feelings get involved. So why was she suddenly questioning everything? Before she could turn Carina down her hands were tangling in Carina’s hair. Maya pulled Carina’s face to hers and pressed their lips together in a soft kiss. Her doubts flooded in as Carina’s lips moved against hers gently, making no move to speed anything up. It was too much for Maya who pulled away quickly.
Carina could sense the change in Maya’s attitude and decided not to push. She had already had a wonderful evening with this beautiful woman. Maya had explained to her that she doesn’t want anything more than a one night stand and she needed to respect that, despite the fact that she longed to taste Maya once more. Before she let her desire take over, she left one gentle peck on Maya’s cheek.
“Goodnight Maya” she whispered as she rolled over to go to sleep. Maya watched as Carina’s dark figure shuffled over and turned away from her. She felt frustrated at herself. If she hadn’t been so quick to decide that all she wanted was something casual with Carina she could have continued to kiss those perfect lips. Maya’s eyes traced the shadow of Carina’s body in the darkness. She decided to roll over to, away from the distraction of Carina.
It was for the best. Maya decided that when they woke up the next morning she was going to ask Carina to leave. She was going to say goodbye. She wasn’t going to get Carina’s number. That way she can continue with her normal routine. Work as usual, self care on Wednesdays. Normal and easy and affectionless, just like Maya is used to.
Maya was going to wake up and forget about Carina.
