No. As leader of the anti-Persian Delian League they were natural enemies. The Persians provided money to the opposing Peloponnesian League led by Sparta.

Did the Athenians have to make a deal with the Persians to win the wars?
After the Persian invasion was repelled, Athens led a coalition of cities to oppose Persia from 478 BCE. After thirty years, they cut a peace arrangement with Persia which left Athens in control of 200 Greek city-states it had led against the Persian Empire, and Athens turned this Delian League into an empire of its own, living high off the proceeds. This led an over-confident Athens into a prolonged war against the other Greek states led by Sparta. This lasted 27 years, and was won by the Spartan-led Peloponnesian League after Persia got its revenge by financing a fleet for the League to defeat Athens' hitherto superior navy.

What caused a lack of trust between Sparta and Athens?
In about 460 BCE, after the Persian invasion had been repelled by the combined Greek forces, Sparta was facing a revolt by its serf population in Messene, and making heavy weather in putting it down. Athens offered to help and sent an expeditionary force to reinforce the Spartan forces. The Athenians were very adventurous in their operations, and showed up Spartan methods, which was based on trying to force a pitched battle with an elusive opposition which declined to make itself such a target. There is also a suggestion thet the Athenians showed some sympathy for the Messenians. The upshot was that Sparta invited the Athenians to go home, and the usual cooperative spirit between the two cities soured. After peace was finally made with the Persians in 449 BCE, Athens converted the anti-Persian Delian League which it led into an empire of its own, continuing to levy the war fund from the 200 cities of that league to use for its own benefit and maintaining a strong navy to enforce the annual collection of money. With this strength, Athens aggressively interfered in the affairs of the cities to which Sparta was allied in the Peloponnesian League, particularly Corinth. The Peloponnesian League members urged Sparta to help them stand up to Athens. A cocksure Athens persisted in interfering in other cities, and this came to a head when Athens banned Megara, a Peloponnesian League member, from trade with cities in its empire, which would destroy Megara. The Peloponnesian League demanded Sparta act, Sparta demanded Athens back off, Athens refused, war ensued.
