I am officially back from vacation! So sorry to keep you waiting - no internet means no updates :( But I am back! And I made this chapter a little longer than others - I hope you enjoy!
As always - I don't own anythingLet me know what you think!
Staring down at her note pad, Arizona watched the dark ink in her pen make long, swiping doodles across the snowy white surface. Boredom was an understatement which was largely thanks to the pounding headache that was still lingering. When reviewing the session seminar topics, she thought this session on pediatric urology advances in minimally invasive surgery would be interesting, but after a few minutes of listening to one of the driest voices she had ever heard begin to deliver his speech, she knew she would have trouble staying awake in the dimly lit room. It was the last session that separated her from an evening of hobnobbing with pediatric surgeons across the country and most importantly, preparing for her presentation that was scheduled for 10:00 am the next day.
Up until this point, the day actually flew by. She attended several fascinating sessions which ultimately led to her networking with some of the best surgeons from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. They, too, were beginning to explore the Fetal Surgery profession and she was hoping they would be able to help her with a complex case she had coming up in a few weeks.
Feeling her phone vibrate in her pocket she couldn't help but smile when she saw the text was from Callie. She had been so busy all day that she barely got to see the brunette, let alone talk to her. But that didn't stop Arizona from thinking about her. In fact, Callie was the one constant thing on her mind all day. She hated the way they left things when they got off the plane. She was so embarrassed and felt like a complete ass and she wanted nothing more than to make it up to Callie, but she knew they wouldn't really see each other until it was time for bed due to the evening networking session and setting up for her presentation. Glancing down at her text message, her heart began to race at the thought of sharing a room with Callie.
Hey! Hope you had a nice day. My session is ending early so I figured I would go and check us in and get our keys to our room. Will you have time to meet me so I can give you your key? – XO Callie
Seeing that Callie was already done for the day, Arizona took this opportunity to make a break for it out the back of the auditorium to meet up with her. She was relieved that she didn't have to spend another minute trying to keep her eyes open and head off the table listening to doctor what's his name ramble on for 163 slides.
Saved by the bell J My last session was so boring and you are my excuse to leave J Where can I meet you so that we can check in? – XO Arizona
Pressing send Arizona continued to look down at her phone while she walked down the semi-empty hallway. She didn't notice the person standing right in front of her as she smashed into their side.
"Ouch" the voice screeched.
"Oh my! I am so sorry…" her voice trailed when she looked up to see it was her beautiful brunette that she ran into. "Hi" she said softly.
Looking into soft blue eyes, she could see exhaustion overtaking the blonde. "Hi yourself" she giggled. "You know you really should watch where you are going. I wouldn't want you to fall down a flight of stairs or anything." Taking advantage of their closeness, she brought her hand to Arizona's hip, lightly trailing her thumb across the waistband. Seeing Arizona swallow hard, she leaned in to whisper in her ear. "Let's go get the keys to our room." Callie's hot breath combined with her touch sent goosebumps all over Arizona's body. Swiftly breaking contact, Callie began to walk down the hall towards the check-in desk, leaving a flushed Arizona standing in the middle of the corridor.
Arizona caught up to Callie just as she was approaching the check-in. "Here, put the room on my card."
Callie didn't have a chance to respond before the receptionist responded for her. "Oh that won't be necessary. The room has already been taken care of." Turning his attention back over to Callie, "Doctor Torres, it's very nice to see you again" the receptionist stated.
"As well as you, Cedrick. I will need two room keys this time" Callie responded like she had known the guy for years. She could see the confusion on the blonde's face and was enjoying every minute of it.
"Here you are. You are in your normal room, your bags are already there and everything should be ready for you. Do you need anything else?"
Taking the keys from Cedrick, Callie handed one over to a shocked Arizona. "No I think we are good. Thank you Cedrick."
As they turned to make their way over to the elevator, Cedrick yelled over "Say hello to your father for me." Callie smiled back and nodded to the man.
The elevator ride to the top floor was quite. Up until now, Callie didn't think about how Arizona would react to what she was about to see. Callie knew Arizona would have so many questions but she was holding off until the blonde saw their room. The elevator doors opened up to a single door down a short hallway.
Walking inside, Arizona's eyes widened at the sight of glistening white marble floors stretching the length of the room, gold chandeliers and sconces lining the ceiling and walls, and a fireplace encased in stone was dimly lit in what appeared to be the Livingroom. Walking deeper into the room, she noticed a separate dining room with a dedicated pantry and large kitchen area, a private study, and a workout room before she even made it towards the bedroom. The bedroom had an oversized king bed with white linen and champagne and strawberries resting at the foot of the bed on a small table. The spa-like master bath might be the most stunning room yet, with a two-person shower and luxurious deep soaking tub. Arizona's senses were in overload mode. She wasn't sure what to say. "How…what…I…" she was not able to focus on one thought. She couldn't afford this. Hell, she didn't know how Callie could afford this. Did the guy at check-in make a mistake? Staring around the room for what seemed like hours, Arizona finally met chocolate brown eyes. "Callie, we can't say here. We…I can't afford this. I mean, this has to cost a fortune. I mean this place is magnificent and absolutely breathtaking but you didn't have to go through all of this trouble to impress me. I mean I am certainly impressed but Callie, look at this place."
A wide grin was plastered on the Latina's face. She thought it was adorable when Arizona rambled. "Arizona stop." Seeing the blonde stop in her tracks and anxiously wait for what she was about to say, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Callie this isn't funny. I'm serious. I can give you as much as I can over the next few pay checks but I really can't afford this" Arizona stated.
"Did you notice the name on the hotel?"
What? The name on the hotel? Arizona remembered the name was something like Paradise Spa. "What? What about the name?" Looking down at the card Callie handed her she felt her eyes widen as she read the letters on the front of the welcome envelope: "Welcome to Paradise Bay Resort and Spa – a Torres property." Her eyes immediately snapped back up to meet the waiting brunettes. "You…you own the property?"
Bringing someone to their family suite was something Callie had never done before so she wasn't sure what reaction to expect but she was slightly amused at the blonde's response. "Well I don't own the property but my family does" she shrugged it off like it was no big deal. "And to be fair, I really did check to see if there were any rooms left but they are completely booked this week due to the conference." Staring back at Arizona she couldn't get a good read on what the blonde was thinking. Callie became nervous. Is this too soon? She thought to herself. She never really thought about how this would impact the blonde's impression of her – she certainly didn't want her to think that she was just some fancy rich girl.
Arizona just stared. She couldn't comprehend what Callie was telling her. She had no idea that Callie was rich – or at least her family was rich. That didn't really didn't change anything between them but this was undoubtedly something she didn't expect. Feeling her hair being tucked behind her ear, she once again stared back into Callie's eyes, bringing her hand to meet the brunettes that was lingering behind her ear. She could sense Callie's nervousness just by looking at her. "Callie" she whispered. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I…I don't know. I don't really think about it anymore and I've never had anyone stay with me while I was here so I guess I didn't really think to tell you." Callie felt like such an idiot. She was out of her element with Arizona and embarrassment was taking over. "I'm sorry" she whispered as she dropped her eyes.
"Hey. Look at me." Arizona wasn't sure if she was okay with this or not but this was Callie's life. Seeing the way the brunette reacted made her realize that this wasn't something Callie did to try and woo her, this was just Callie staying at her family's hotel like she would any other day. It didn't change anything between them. "It's okay. It's more than okay" she smiled trying to erase the awkwardness that had formed between them. Leaning over, she carefully captured plum red lips and pulled them into a simple kiss. "I'm not going to lie to you. I am a little surprised and overwhelmed, but I'll be okay. I mean look at this place" she giggled trying to lighten the mood. "The only thing that seems to be missing is a TV."
Callie held up the remote that was in her hand and pressed a button, exposing a 80 inch flat screen that dropped down from the ceiling.
"Never mind" Arizona said once again in a surprised-like tone. "I should have known." Arizona and Callie both laughed at how ridicules this whole situation was. It wasn't like either of them really cared about all of the fancy stuff, they both just cared that they were going to be sharing a room literally in "Paradise" together for an entire week. "Come here you" Arizona whispered as she pulled Callie closer into her arms. "Are we okay?" She had been thinking all day about what this moment would be like when she finally had to face her embarrassment of her drunken stupor on the plane.
"Arizona we are more than okay. I have never been happier." Callie leaned her forehead against the blondes, nuzzling her nose against hers before she crashed her lips into waiting soft, pink ones, deepening the kiss when Arizona immediately granted her access. She felt Arizona tug softly on the hem of her shirt and run the pads of her thumb against her soft skin. Callie pecked the blonde's lips one more time before reluctantly pulling back slowly to look at Arizona. She saw nothing but love in her eyes and Callie felt safe wrapped in her embrace. "I hate that this is pretty much the only alone time we will have all night" she said pouting. The networking sessions started in 20 minutes and they still had to change.
"I think you are forgetting something" Arizona responded, seductively lifting her eyebrows and running her fingers up tan arms, stopping when they reached the back of Callie's neck.
Callie's face only showed confusion. Forgetting something she thought to herself.
"We do get to share that luxurious bed tonight" she smiled.
"Mmmmm I like the sound of that" she husked up against the blondes mouth before once again claiming the waiting lips in front of her.
After what seemed like only seconds of quick kisses in between getting ready for the evening, Callie and Arizona left the penthouse suite 15 minutes later. Reluctantly, the pair had to separate for the night so they could mingle with other surgeons from their own discipline. The evening seemed to drag on forever, especially when they both had to set up and prepare for their presentations the next day. That was an entire process in itself. Making her way back to their hotel room, Callie stepped inside of a dimly lit living room. Across the room, she saw Arizona fast asleep in the chair with pieces of paper spread out across her chest and the table in front of her. The way the flames from the fireplace flickered light across a peaceful Arizona's face made Callie's heart melt. Deciding to let Arizona sleep a few more minutes, Callie changed for bed before returning to the living room to bring the sleeping blonde to bed with her.
"Wake up pretty lady" she whispered. Seeing Arizona stir, she only heard inaudible sounds coming from her lips. "Arizona" she whispered once again as she saw deep blue eyes slowly open. "Come on, let's get you to bed."
Arizona swore it was a dream. She could practically smell Callie's sweet scent of the lavender shampoo she used. Feeling a soft tickle behind her ear she reluctantly opened her eyes to find the person she was hoping to see right in front of her. "Hmmm what…what are you…what time is it?" Glancing around Arizona realized that she must have fallen asleep practicing her presentation while she was waiting for Callie to get back. Her eyes landed on the grandfather clock that was next to the fireplace revealing it was almost midnight. "I'm up, I'm up, I'm up she rambled. I wasn't sleeping I was just resting my eyes." Arizona felt a soft finger against her lips. Feeling Callie close to her heightened her senses and sent her head spinning.
"Shhh. It's my fault. I am so sorry I came back so late. I will make it up to you I promise. Let's get you changed and let's get some shut eye. Both of us have a busy morning. Your presentation is at 10 right?" Callie bent over and picked up the paper that was thrown around the room. She would be lying if she said she wasn't disappointed that Arizona had already fallen asleep, but she knew they both had an early morning tomorrow and she was out a bit later than she expected. The Ortho surgeons from Kaiser Permanente were interested in Callie's work in 3-D printing so she gave them a behind the scenes preview of her presentation tomorrow.
Dragging her limp body into the bedroom, Arizona quickly changed into a sleek, black nighty with matching boy shorts that left little to the imagination. Callie stood in the doorway to the bathroom with her toothbrush hanging out of her mouth at the sight of Arizona leaning over to climb into bed. She was sure that her heart stopped beating for a few moments as she let her mind wander, vividly picturing Arizona naked, writhing underneath her at her touch. Snapping out of her daydream, Callie retreated to the bathroom and jumped in a cold shower to cool herself off.
Making her way back into bed, she slipped behind a sleeping Arizona and drifted off into sleep herself.
Waking up to a blaring alarm, Arizona felt her way around the top of the nightstand to try to stop the piercing noise. The room was still dark with a little bit of light shining through a crack in the curtain. Rolling over she was sad to find Callie was no longer next to her. In the middle of the night, Arizona had woken up to find Callie pressed firmly into her back, snaking her arms around her torso. Feeling the Latina behind her made her feel happy. Arizona noticed a small envelope with her name written on the front laying on Callie's pillow. She smiled as she read the note inside.
Hey you –
So sorry that I could be here to wake up with you in my arms. My presentation is at 8:00 am and I needed to prepare. Speaking of presentations, you will do amazing. Go be awesome (I think that is how you usually say it).
Arizona laughed. Callie knew her so well and now she was even starting to sound like her.
I really missed spending time with you yesterday. What do you say after our presentations, we skip the afternoon sessions and do something fun? Let me know. Either way – I am looking forward to seeing you later.
XO – Waiting patiently for your text J
Arizona immediately pulled out her phone and sent a simple text of "yes" with a smiley face back to Callie. She knew she would be exhausted after her presentation and really didn't want to have to sit through session after session all afternoon. She figured a little fun would do them both good and they could really spend some quality time together without random strangers and their friends breathing down their necks.
Both Callie and Arizona's presentations went well and they both received really positive feedback. Towards the end of the presentation, Arizona looked up to see Callie was in the back of the room, smiling at her. Seeing her made Arizona want to end the presentation right there and run off with her girlfriend, but she stayed strong and finished the session with a bang. After answering a few audience questions, the session time was up and Arizona made her way to Callie in the back of the room.
"I hope you don't mind, but I packed a bag for you for our activity for the day." Arizona reached down to grab the beach bag Callie was holding with an outstretched arm. "You really thought this through, huh? What if I would have said no" Arizona giggled as she looked into the bag. Her dark blue bikini, cover-up, and towel were amongst other items in the bag. "Oooo the beach! I have been itching to go."
"Well I figured if you were even half as bored as I was last night talking to ass-kissing surgeons instead of spending time with each other, then you would be excited to get a break. Well either that or I figured we could go after the conference today, but that certainly would cut down on our beach time" she winked over at the blonde. "Let's get going."
The pair walked down the hall, dodging their colleagues that had been milling around trying to find lunch. "Do you think anyone saw us?" Arizona whispered to Callie as they finally reached the bright sun beating down on them in the parking lot. The escape from the conference was half the fun. The pair hid behind large plants and ducked into doorways as they made their way to the back door.
"Who knows? All I know is that we are going to have a great day, just the two of us." Grabbing Arizona's hand, Callie led her down towards the boat docks. She could see the confusion on Arizona's face when that they made a left towards the marina instead of going straight towards the beach.
"I thought you said we were going to the beach."
"We are. Just not this beach" she replied slyly, taking Arizona's hand as they stepped onto the shaky docks. "Climb aboard milady."
Arizona gasped when she saw Callie climb aboard a luxurious white yacht and outstretch her arm to pull her up. "Callie" she gasped. She was in shock. "How…let me guess, your family's boat?"
Walking on board bringing Arizona towards the front, she shyly smiled. "My father's boat, actually" she replied. Instead of seeing uneasiness in Arizona's eyes, Callie saw nothing but excitement. "Come on, let me show you around."
The boat was magnificent. It wasn't the biggest yacht in the marina but it certainly wasn't a tug boat. It had an under cabin bedroom, kitchen, and living room space with a theater-style TV. Arizona figured that with the Latina's dad owning hotel properties, Callie would have more surprises so she tried not to get too overwhelmed when the brunette shared things with her. She felt special knowing that Callie trusted her enough to welcome her into her personal life. "Do you know how to drive this thing?"
"I have been driving this since I was a little kid. With help then of course. But now that I am older, I became a certified captain so she is all ours for the day."
"Oh…just the day?" Arizona questioned, seductively making her way towards the brunette.
Swallowing hard, she knew what Arizona was getting at. Wrapping her arms around the smaller women, she leaned over and whispered into the blonde's ear. "Mmmm I think we can arrange to keep it all night too." Callie took this opportunity to nibble on the blonde's ear and trail soft kisses down her jawline and lightly brushing against pink lips before tracing her bottom lip with her tongue, begging for entrance.
Arizona moaned into Callie's mouth as their tongues danced together like a seamless ballet. Her hands began to roam up and down the brunette's back, finally landing on her waist, her thumbs grazing lightly over her waistband. She could get lost in the brunette's touch.
Reluctantly pulling back from the blonde, Callie placed a soft kiss on the tip of her nose and led her over to a lounge chair on the front deck of the boat. "Let's get out to sea so we can go to our final destination and pick up where we left off" she winked making her way towards the rustic steering wheel.
After leaving the docks and heading out to sea, Callie pulled the yacht up to a small island just a few miles from the coast. The island was yet again their private family island so it was just the two of them and Callie had planned a full day of swimming, sun bathing, laying in the hammock, and eating different delicacies from around the world.
"So do you want to stay on the boat by the island tonight or do you want to go back to the docks?"
"I am liking where we are right now" Arizona smiled, looking over at the brunette that was starting to cook dinner. Even on a boat, Arizona thought Callie's cooking smelled fantastic. She swore she gained ten pounds since they first started dating.
"Excellent. Well dinner should be ready in about five minutes. Will you grab a bottle of wine out of the wine cellar and pour us some?" She watched as Arizona walked away to grab the wine. Even though she would be right back, Callie always felt empty when she wasn't within eyesight of Arizona.
Dinner was perfect. After dessert, Arizona offered to clean up the dishes since Callie did most of the work today. Walking back outside, she noticed Callie was standing out on the deck of the yacht with her glass of wine looking out into the open ocean, moonlight glistening from the crystal glass. Arizona snaked her arms through Callie's and wrapped herself around her body, melting into one. "Thank you for today. It was perfect." She felt Callie squeeze her hand signaling that she was welcome. The sounds of the waves lapping against the boat were mesmerizing. It was almost as if she was in a meditation session. The pair remained quiet for a while, just listening to the waves and staring up at the stars. Interrupting the peaceful quite, Arizona heard Callie softly speak.
"I used to come to this island when I wanted to think. It is so peaceful out here. No one to bother you. No one to expect anything from you. Just a girl and her thoughts. You have been a lot of firsts for me Arizona and I want to thank you for those. They have been some of the best firsts of my life. You make me want to be a better version of myself and you make me feel happiness that I never knew was possible. So thank you, Arizona." Turning around to face the blonde while remaining in her grasp, she smiled as she looked into her eyes. She could stare in them forever. She leaned in and kissed pink lips.
Feeling like fireworks were going off, Arizona was melting right into the brunette's arms. Not only did Callie's kiss sweep her off her feet, her confession of what she means to her sent her senses into overdrive. She didn't want to wait any longer. She wanted to make sweet, passionate love to Callie right then and there, in the middle of the ocean. She gently tugged on Callie's arms and led her over to the double lounge chair where the two had been sunbathing earlier in the day. She gently laid the brunette down and slowly crawled on top, trailing her fingertips through the material of her bikini cover-up. She motioned Callie to sit up while she slid the material up and over her head, watching as Callie mirrored her actions. Nothing needed to be said. Both women felt the love in each other's eyes and the want and need they craved of each other.
The moonlight highlighted the brunettes glowing face. Arizona couldn't believe how breathtaking Callie was laying beneath her. Her long, dark hair was layered across the lounge pillow and her chocolate brown eyes turned a deep, almost black-like color. Arizona slowly tugged on the strings of her bikini top, revealing plump, perky breast. She leaned down and brushed her nipples against the material covering Callie's as her mouth sucked softly on a patch of skin below her ear, sending chills down the brunette's back. Reaching through dark strands of hair, she pulled on the brunette's strings as well.
Moving her hands freely up Arizona's back Callie slowly moved to her chest, gently messaging the blonde's breasts. They had explored this part of each other's body before, but this time it felt different. She swore they were fuller and her nipples were harder. Wanting to explore more of the blonde, she trailed her fingers lightly over a perfectly toned stomach and over towards the strings of the blonde's bikini bottoms that were resting against her hips, lacing her fingers through the loop holes. She looked up into Arizona's eyes as she gently tugged on the strings that held her bottoms on.
Callie was sending Arizona into overdrive. Feeling her toy with her bikini bottoms, she wanted to just rip them off for her but she restrained herself and allowed Callie to travel at her own pace. Feeling her tug at the strings, she carefully lifted her hips and freely allowed Callie to remove them, doing the same to the Latina. Feeling their naked bodies against one another for the first time sent heat pulsing at both of their cores. It was unlike anything either of them felt before. Taking in the view of the brunette laying under her, she felt her heart skip a beat. "So beautiful, Calliope" she said as she began to roam her hand all of the Latina's body.
Hearing Arizona use her full name was pure bliss. Callie began to run her hands up the blonde's thighs, stopping as she reached the crease between her hip and her thigh, lightly running her thumb against the blonde's inner thigh. She could feel the heat radiating from the blonde's center. She felt Arizona readjust her position as she moved to straddle her left leg. In the process, she felt the blonde's folds brush up against her leg, leaving a trail of wetness against her skin. Callie couldn't take it any longer, she flipped positions with the blonde so that she could take control.
Staring up into lustful brown eyes, she moaned at the sensation of Callie latching into her breast. Arizona dug her nails into Callie's back, pulling her in closer. "Oh" she hissed when she felt the brunette gently pinch her nipple. Seeing brown eyes disappear down her body she felt Callie's tongue swirl around her throbbing nipple, hearing a loud pop as the brunette released it before traveling over to her other breast repeating the same process. Arizona thought she was going to come just by feeling Callie's mouth on her mounds.
Moving her long, slender fingers down the blonde's side, stopping and resting on her hip, Callie felt Arizona hold her breath. "Are you okay" she asked lovingly. Seeing a smile and a brief nod, Callie continued back up Arizona's body, back to caressing sensitive breasts. Placing soft kisses down her chest, moved to now straddle Arizona's thigh, just as she did moments before. She wanted to take her time with the blonde and enjoy every moment ravishing her body under the stars for their first time. Every move she made was well thought out and full of passion. She slowly made her way down a perfectly toned stomach and kissed Arizona's hip before traveling to kiss her inner thigh, just barely below the blonde's center.
Arizona could feel the brunette's hot breath against her opening as she watched her move to her other thigh and back up her body, repeating her motions. She could feel her orgasm collecting in the pit of her stomach before Callie had really even touched her. She needed to feel Callie. Feeling soft lips back on her neck, she leaned over and captured Callie's mouth, immediately invading it with her tongue. Pulling back and gasping "oh my…Calliope" she panted. "Please….I need you. I want to feel you inside me. I want to me inside you."
Hearing this sent Callie over the edge. She repositioned herself over Arizona so that both women had access to each other's entrance. She felt Arizona's hand make its way down the middle of her chest, over her smooth skin, and slip in between her dripping wet folds, feeling her fingers lightly circling her clit. As much as she enjoyed exploring every part of Arizona, she knew the blonde needed a release as much as she did. Locking her eyes with Arizona, she whispered, "together" as she dipped two fingers within her wanting folds. Never breaking eye contact, they began to mirror each other's movements, slowly rubbing the sides of each other's clit, back and forth. Callie didn't think the blonde's blue eyes could get any darker but she saw them deepen even more as she slowly entered her dripping wet center, feeling Arizona enter her as well.
Arizona gasped feeling the brunette enter her. She had experienced this type of pleasure before but this was completely different. Biting down on her bottom lip, she plastered a huge smile on her face as she felt the warmth of Callie on her fingers. Both women stayed still for a minute to allow each other to adjust to their fingers before slowly moving them in and out in harmony. Arizona dropped her head back when she felt Callie picking up pace, curling the tips of her fingers every once in a while. Mimicking Callie's rhythm, she began to pick up her pace as well, drawing a deep moan from the Latina in the process. She could tell when she was hitting Callie's sweet spot when the Latina's breath became more rapid. Quickly withdrawing her fingers, she once again circled the brunette's throbbing clit, before entering her deeper. "Oh my God, Arizona. I'm…I'm not going to be able to last much longer" she rasped in between breaths, feeling Arizona curl inside her once again.
Feeling Arizona's walls begin to constrict, pulling her fingers in deeper, she could tell the blonde was close too. Feeling her own walls clench around the blonde's fingers she knew she was ready. "Let go, my love" she husked as they both curled their fingers one last time as they watched each other unfold.
