Chapter 21

Callie's POV:

First thing I am aware of is the weight on my chest, making it difficult to breathe. My eyes open and see a tangle of blonde curls, and I can feel Arizona's strong grip on my shirt holding me in place as we slept. It takes a second to remember everything that has happened in the last twenty four hours. …I woke up moaning in pleasure as Arizona worked her magic on my core. I rode a horse for the first time. Arizona and I made mad, passionate love in the beautiful clearing she took me to. Arizona taught tiny humans how to endanger themselves more efficiently. I witnessed her command another audience. I damn near killed Katie…if it wasn't for Arizona. I helped bring a beautiful baby horse into this world, and I named him after the restaurant where I fell in love with this beautiful woman I have in my arms.

The sun has risen fully and I guess the time to be around 9 am. It's late for Arizona to still be sleeping, but I just pull her in close and leave her be. Fifteen minutes later, Arizona stirs at the sound of a vehicle driving down the long drive to her family home. She lets out a moan of frustration and pulls in closer to me. A smile appears on my face as I think how this amazing woman feels safe enough with me to fall asleep in my arms. …She doesn't trust easily.

"Morning, dears!" Momma Robbins calls as she exits her Jeep. Arizona finally opens her eyes, trying to focus on the object that woke her up.

"Mmmm…morning…" Arizona mumbles, hardly loud enough for me to hear, let alone her mother thirty yards away.

I chuckle at Arizona's musings and yell "Morning Ms. Robbins!" Arizona cringes at the level of noise, eliciting another laugh from me. I see the other occupant of the Jeep step out. I move Arizona away from my body and stand. She looks at me with her childish pout. "Come on cowgirl, your Dads home." She perks up, rubs the sleep from her eyes, gives a big stretch then takes my hand.

Entering the home, Arizona immediately finds her father in the kitchen and wraps him up in a proper hug. I try to give them some privacy but Arizona calls me back.

"Daddy… I know you met her before but, I'd like to introduce you properly." Arizona says looking between the two of us.

Daniel smiles at me and opens his arms. He takes me into a strong hug, his strength coming not from muscle but from love…fatherly love. …how I miss it. Pulling back, he says "It's a pleasure to see you again Ms. Torres."

I smile and say "It's great to see you out of the hospital Colonel."

"No brig can keep me locked up for long." He says in jest, and the three women surrounding him give a laugh. We spend the morning as a family. Barbara and myself take over the kitchen while preparing brunch for us, and as usual, Arizona and Daniel sit back and watch. Both claim to know nothing about cooking, and it being safer for everyone to let the 'real women' handle these things. At which I give Arizona a pointed glare.

"What?" She asks a bit sheepishly "You know its true. I burn toast…and eggos…and Pop Tarts!" She's right, with her cooking I end up throwing more food away than what I deem edible.

Arizona and her father discuss how the family farm will be run. The logistics being the biggest concern, but the Colonel tells my girlfriend that he will still be around to watch over the entire operation and will step in if anything to crazy starts going on. She refuses to take the property legally for a full year's time, wanting to make sure that it is doable before her parents sign everything over to her. …my girl's a smart cookie. …A cookie I'd like to eat. Stop it Torres! It's family time. No sex thoughts allowed.

"Oh…Pops, we got a new addition to the family." Arizona starts as she loads up her pancakes with syrup. …great, just what I need...an Arizona all hopped up on sugar.

"Thelma finally go?" Momma answers. Arizona nods excitedly. "Huh…thought I would have gotten word from Katie…." She says more to herself than anyone else at the table. I see Arizona's face turn from excited to serious in a flash.

"Katherine McKenzie is no longer employeed by us." Arizona says coolly. This catches both her parents attention.

"What?" Her father snaps.

"I released her from her services last night." Arizona says, concentration on the pancake infront of her. I can see Daniel starting to get upset, but he tries to remain calm.

"And…why did you feel it necessary to fire an employee that was hired by me?" He asks pointedly.

Arizona drops her fork and turns to look her father fully in the face. "A number of reasons, but primarily I will not allow a person to work for my family who physically assaults my girlfriend. You want me to take lead in this business, fine. She works for me, so I can fire her. And I did. …First executive decision has been made."

Barbara and Daniel look to me for confirmation, and a mothers trained eye can see the slight swelling I still have in my cheek. "Oh…honey…." Barbara raises her hand to touch the injury but pulls back.

"It…It was a…miss understanding." I say, trying to remain cool around my girlfriend's parents. …they don't need to see crazy Callie.

"What the hell happened?" Daniel booms.

"McKenzie almost got the shit kicked out of her, that's what happened." Arizona says, throwing her napkin down and clearing her plate, no longer hungry. Coming back to the table she continues "Damn near lost my head and throttled the bitch."

"Zona!" Barbara gasps.

"What Momma? You and Daddy taught me to protect the things I love. I love Callie. When Katie layed a hand on her, I went on instinct." Arizona looks to me, then back at her parents. "She comes round here again and she'll be met with the business end of my shotgun." Arizona storms off to her room, leaving me with two very curious parents.

"So what really happened? …Z tends to overreact or exaggerate when her emotions get involved…" Her father asks.

I retell the events of the previous night and when I finish, neither parent says a word. Finally, Daniel speaks up. "Well… I think Z did right." With that, the tension breaks and I follow Arizona up to her room. She is just toweling off after a shower when I knock and enter.

"So…how pissed are they?" She asks.

I take in my very wet, very naked girlfriend. "Not so much…I told them the whole story and your Dad says he agrees with what you did." She is facing the mirror of her dresser. I come up behind her and play with the towel covering her body. Arizona's eyes meet mine in the mirror, and she's reading my thoughts. She gives a slight shake of her head, telling me 'don't you dare.' I give a low chuckle and with one swift movement undo the knot that is keeping the towel on her body.

It drops to the floor in a pile, leaving Arizona completely naked, vulnerable, and drippy. She starts to turn to face me, but I stop her by grabbing her hips. My lips find that spot behind her ear that makes her shiver in pleasure.

"Cal…." She breathes out, warning me. I don't listen as her voice say no, because her body is screaming yes. I push her shoulders forward, telling her to brace herself against the dresser which sits just above waist level. Arizona complies, even though her glare tells me to stop.

I press my center against her ass, and lean over her naked torso. Her breasts hang freely, allowing me to take them easily in both hands and knead them. Soft moans start making their way from my love's throat. My lips trace up and down Arizona's neck, and make their way to her strong back. I can feel Arizona shiver, a mixture of pleasure and the water evaporating off her rapidly heating skin.

"Jesus…." Arizona growls as I take her nipples between my thumb and forefingers, pinching and working them. I chuckle into the crook of her neck.

"You like that baby?" I purr into her ear. I can see her eyes close in pleasure. Watching myself in the mirror give pleasure to my girlfriend makes my center start dripping…fuck, I want her so bad. Without warning, I slip two fingers deep in her depths. She is plenty aroused, so it doesn't hurt, but she cries out in surprise.

"Shhh…. You have to stay quiet if you want more…" I say teasingly. Her hands clench on top of the wooden dresser. I slowly move my fingers in and out of her center, wetness soaking my hand and dripping down her smooth legs. In this position I am able to run my fingers against her walls, applying a pressure that makes her legs tremble. My left hand continues working her perfect breasts, my lips and tongue making their way across every inch of her neck and back. Small gasps escape those beautiful lips everytime I drive back into her.

Her muscles start to tremble, and I can tell by the look on her face in the mirror that she is getting close. I increase the speed of my fingers. Her mouth hangs open, gasping for air. Seconds before she reaches the edge her eyes fly open and lock onto mine. I give her a mischievous smile then my teeth clamp down on her shoulder, branding her as mine. Her core sucks my fingers in deep and clamps down, her legs shake. The sound coming out of her mouth is a mixture of a moan and a cry. She's fighting herself, trying to keep quiet, but struggling against the overwhelming pleasure pouring over her at this very second. My left hand moves from her chest and wraps around her waist, holding her up. I feel her body start to stabilize and there is a taste of iron seeping into my mouth. My teeth let go of her skin, and I swipe my tongue across her brand to soothe the open wound. …she'll have that for a good week or so.

I pull my fingers from her depths. She watches in the mirror as I suck her juices from them. Turning, I grab my towel from the rung on the door and throw over my shoulder "I'm taking a shower." In the bathroom, I strip and step into the large shower. Seconds later, I am joined by the blonde who was, not a minute ago, spasming around my fingers. I smile at her, looking up and down her naked body. "What do you think you are doing?"

She smiles back at me "I could use another shower…" And pull my head in for a kiss.

…I don't think there is going to be a lot of cleaning in this shower…and I'm fine with that.

AN2: Do it…you know you want to.
