Show Me Heaven: Chapter Nine


ARIZONA'S POV


Last night was something kinda beautiful for me. Eliza allowed me to stay over and I'm feeling super fresh today. She's still sleeping but I want to get her living room finished so she can relax in it without all kinds of crap lying around. I'm sure she won't be impressed when she wakes up but this will be finished today and then we can just relax together. We can simply enjoy each other and get back to what we do best. Love. Commitment. That laughter we once shared. I may have been doing awesome alone since I left but I feel great having her back in my life. I feel like the hard work I've put in over the last eight months has been totally worth it and I'm now reaping the rewards. I'm living, loving and enjoying my life. I'd like to believe that it's totally all on me but it's not. Eliza has given me that last little piece of happiness I was missing and I know that she's got me. I know that we've got each other.

Things got a little heated last night but we didn't take it too far. My plan was to take her to bed and make her feel incredible but once the movie had ended, my girlfriend was barely breathing. Her eyes were already closing thirty minutes into the movie so I knew in that moment she was done for the night. That's okay, though. She's had a busy few weeks and I think emotionally we are both drained. Her more so than me. I've learned how to cope with my emotions better but Eliza has always been an emotional person. I love that about her, but I prefer to do things a little differently. Now that I've fixed everything I used to be, I deal with things so much better.

Lowering the volume on the sound system, I hit play and figure I'll take in a little more of Eliza's music. Her voice is so soft and relaxing that I could listen to it on replay for the rest of my life given half the chance. Deciding to just play it from the first track, a familiar song filters through the speakers and a smile curls on my mouth. God, I love this song. Something about it just reminds me of everything that we were. Everything that we hope to one day be. The honesty in each note. The way the lyrics just pull you in. It's just a perfect song from a perfect woman. Shrugging my flannel from my body, I fix my tank around me a little better and get to work on the last remaining sections of the room. It shouldn't take much longer so the sooner I move my ass, the sooner I can kick back with the most beautiful woman in the world.

Eliza's voice flowing around the room, I hum along to the tune and smile to myself. I don't know what the next few weeks hold for us but I'm more than sure it couldn't get much better. I mean, it can physically, but how I'm feeling? No, I'm at my peak. I'm at my peak and I'm never going back to my old self. I'm never going back to that phase of myself because I don't need to. I know who I am and I know what I'm capable of. If I continue to focus on that, I can only get better. I'm not sure I could feel any better, but I'll give it a damn good go. You got the world, Zo. Don't ever let it go.

Startled when I feel arms wrapping around my waist, my smile widens and Eliza presses her lips to my shoulder. "Hey…" Her voice still filled with sleep, I lean back into her body and my head falls back on her shoulder. "You know, I could really get used to you being here wearing very little."

"Yeah?"

"Mm, definitely." Her lips press against the skin below my ear and my body shudders. "You know how hot you look in your tank…"

"Well, I know it makes you a little excited," I smirk as I turn my head a little and capture her lips. "Mm…" A low moan rumbling in my throat, she takes my bottom lip between her teeth and her hands disappear under the material covering my stomach. "Did you sleep well?" Her hand moves a little higher and her thumb brushes the underside of my breast.

"Better than ever…"

"You looked done for last night." I turn in her arms, the paintbrush still in my hand. "I'm just finishing up here and then I'm taking you out to lunch."

"Is that a date, or?"

"Damn right it is." I capture her lips again. "Got to get the ball rolling at some point."

"That sucks…" She drops her gaze, a fake pout on her lips. "We can't exactly have sex on the first date…"

Caught off guard by her comment, I narrow my eyes and study her face. "Who said anything about sex?"

"Well, you know…" She shrugs. "I hoped I'd be ripping your clothes off last night but nothing came of it so I figured I'd attempt it again today." Her fingers curling beneath the hem of my tank, she lifts it up and over my body. "Unless you wanted to wait…"

"We should." I breathe out, the paintbrush falling to the floor. "We really should…but I can't." Watching as her eyes trail my naked chest, I take my bottom lip between my teeth. "Fuck…I really can't wait any longer."

"Thank god." She breathes against my mouth. "I need to feel your gorgeous body against me, Arizona." Her voice low and filled with pure want, I guide her body back a little and it hits the wall. Lifting her oversized tee from her body, Eliza has never looked so good in nothing but a pair of panties.

"Holy shit!" Standing back, I take in the beauty before me and my heart pounds in my chest. It doesn't happen often anymore but it's not the same feeling. This is a good pounding. This is my body telling me that I'm exactly where I should. "Fuck…"

"Well, that's the plan." She smirks as she curls her fingers around the waistband of my jeans and pulls me back into her body. "You know…" Her lips brushing my own, I can feel the arousal gathering between my legs. "...You really worked me up last night and I woke thinking about it." My jeans loosening, they fall to the floor and she motions for me to step out of them. "No panties?" She mumbles against my mouth, her fingertip trailing my inner thigh. "Mm, that's hot."

"I-I, oh god…" My eyes closing as she sucks my bottom lip into her mouth, my knees weaken and I brace my hands against the wall, either side of her head. "Eliza, you've no idea how much I want you right now." My tongue toys with her own. "Fuck…so bad."

"Oh, I think I do know." She smirks as I wrap my hands around her thighs and lift her. Wrapping them around my waist, I steady us against the wall before moving her towards the kitchen. "I need to turn this music off…" She attempts to shift out of my arms as I set her down on the counter but I stop her.

"Leave it playing…"

"I can't." She rests her forehead against my own. "The next one…I just, I can't."

"Baby, please?" A smile curling on her mouth when she hears a familiar term of endearment, she releases a slight sigh and the palm of my hand ghosts up her naked stomach. "You feel so good…" Dipping my head, I take a nipple between my teeth and a gasp falls from her mouth as she rests back, her palms now flat on the counter. "Better than ever…"

"Fuck." Her mouth falling open as I suck harder, a low groan falls from her mouth and I smile against her skin. "Y-Yes." Palming the other, she falls back onto her elbows and the track changes. She doesn't want me to hear this song but we are past this now. We are past the hurt we've both suffered over the past several months. Right now is the only thing that matters to me. Everything else…it's gone. It's really as simple as that.

I will leave my heart at the door
I won't say a word
They've all been said before you know
So why don't we just play pretend
Like we're not scared of what's coming next
Or scared of having nothing left

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?

My lips trailing up between her breasts, her legs wrap around my waist again and I can feel the uncertainty about how I'm feeling right now. I love listening to how she felt when I left and honestly, it's only encouraging me to make love to her even more. It's only spurring me on and I want to make this woman mine forevermore. I need her to feel this…and then some. My hand following the trail my lips have just taken, I grip the back of her neck and pull her up and against me. "You are really something else…" I breathe against her mouth. "All I want is you, Eliza." My lips press against her own. "All I'll ever need is you…"

I don't need your honesty
It's already in your eyes
And I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me
No one knows me like you do
And since you're the only one that matters
Tell me who do I run to?

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?

Removing her panties from her gorgeous body, I slip them over her thighs and drop them to the floor. "Arizona…" Her fingers tangling in my hair, my mouth moves lower with every second that passes. "Oh god." My thumb spreading her folds, I press a soft kiss to the inside of her thigh and a gasp falls from her mouth. She's more than ready for me and right now, I need to taste her. I need to remember what I've been missing during my recovery.

"So fucking beautiful…" I whisper before running the tip of my tongue the length of her center. "Mm, fuck." Pulling back, she is watching my every move and my arousal gathers once more. Pushing a single finger inside of her, her mouth falls open and her eyes close. The smallest of smiles curling on her mouth, I curl my finger and hit the spot that drives her insane.

"O-Oh." Her back arching, it takes everything I have within me not to fuck her good right now. I know it's what she wants, but this is just the beginning. Once this song has ended, I'm taking her to bed. I'm taking her to bed and I'm not leaving until I have reacquainted myself with every inch of her body.

Let this be our lesson in love
Let this be the way we remember us
I don't wanna be cruel or vicious
And I ain't asking for forgiveness
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?

"Arizona…" Her chest heaving, I pull her in close and pull out of her. The music fading, she gives me a look of uncertainty but I simply pull her away from the counter, her legs still wrapped firmly around my waist.

"Upstairs." I breathe out as my lips crush into her own. "I need you upstairs…"

"I love you…" Her voice breaking, she drops her legs and pulls me up the staircase. Turning to face me when we reach the top, she drags me closer to the bedroom and I know she is worried about this. I know she is thinking over the lyrics I've just heard. They couldn't be further from the truth, and I'm about to show her that. I'm about to make her feel for the first time in forever and I'm taking our love back. I don't need to worry anymore. I don't need to feel less ever again. She's in my life and I know I'm good enough for her. I know I'm fucking incredible for her.

"Fuck, I want you so much…" Pushing her down on the bed, I straddle one leg and sink my fingers back inside of her. I need to feel her coming undone beneath me. I need to hear her moan my name and remind me of everything that we once were. "Only you…" I moan as her walls squeeze me tight. "It's only ever been you."

"Fuck, yes." Her hands fisting in the bedsheets, I sink deeper and curl my fingers. "Oh god…" One hand leaving the bed, she grips my back and I'm pretty sure she's broken skin. "Yes…" A guttural moan rumbling deep in her throat, I feel nothing but complete love for this woman beneath me. Her words. Her voice. Every single sound that falls from her mouth. It's all for me. Everything that we are is coming back tenfold right now and it's hitting me harder than a freight train.

"T-Touch me, Eliza…" Her hand disappearing between our bodies, the sudden connection of her fingertips against my clit has my body trembling in anticipation. "Fuck." My head dropping to her shoulder, I sink my teeth into her skin and she hisses in delight. She likes pain with her pleasure. I know that better than anyone. I can do it better than anyone. "I-Inside," I beg. "Fuck, I need you inside." Gasping when she pushes two fingers inside of me with ease, her lips trail my neck before reaching my ear.

"You and I are forever, Arizona…" Her words pushing me closer to the edge, I simply moan in agreement and she smiles against my ear. "How wet you are…fuck, I've missed everything about you."

"I'm close…" I whisper as I nuzzle into the crook of her neck. "Shit, I'm close…"

"You know what I want…" She groans. "You know I want you to come for me." Suddenly flipping our bodies, I find myself on my back, Eliza now riding my hand above me. "Mm, that's exactly what I want." She throws her head back, her fingers still buried inside of me. Taking her nipple, I tug and pull a little harder as she writhes above me. "Fuck, yes." Her thumb rolling over my clit, I'm struggling to focus right now. I'm struggling but I'm so going to come hard for her any moment now.

"Eliza, shit." My eyes slamming shut, she rocks above me and fresh arousal coats my hand. "I need you with me." I moan. "I really need to you with me…" Her body falling forward, she shakes against me and my own orgasm pulses through me like never before. I don't care who I've had in my life over the years, nobody will ever come close. Nobody will ever compare. "Don't stop." She fucks my hand. "I'm still coming." My own body writhing and shaking from the aftershocks she is creating, she lifts onto her knees a little and I pound into her repeatedly. Fast. Hard. "Oh, fuck." Sinking her teeth into my neck, the most incredible moan escapes her mouth and it's only sending me into oblivion again. It's only setting every nerve on fire once again.

"Oh shit." My body trembling and spent, our pace slows but it doesn't stop. Everything about what we are experiencing right now is pure heaven. Bliss. Whatever you want to call it…it's totally happening for us right now. "That was so fucking good…" I breathe out, her body totally relaxing on top of my own. "Fuck."

"I just…" Her breathing ragged, I run my fingers through her hair and give her a moment to calm herself. "Oh god…" Nuzzling into the crook of my neck, she inhales deeply and smiles against my skin. "You're so beautiful…"

"We're beautiful, Eliza…" My nails graze her back gently. "So beautiful."
