So I didn't really have a concrete plan for what I wanted to have between the last chapter and what I have planned for the next one, but I knew I wanted something. This is what that something turned out to be. I hope you guys enjoy. :)
Arizona walked out of her girlfriend's room after a morning shower. She smiled as she entered the living room, seeing that her brother and girlfriend were already deep into one of their serious Mario Kart battles. It had been a couple of days since Tim's return and after a useless (on Tim's part at least) argument, where Callie adamantly assured Tim that there was no need for him to get a hotel room, the three of them had been co-inhabiting Callie's apartment. Callie and Tim had formed a fast, easy bond and Arizona was loving every minute of getting to spend so much time surrounded by her two favorite people. Grabbing a cup of coffee, Arizona laughed as she heard the distinct noises of her girlfriend's clear victory. After they'd moved all of Tim's gaming stuff over to Callie's, Mario Kart had become a constant in their lives, and none of them even needed to actually witness a match with their eyes to know the outcome.
"Oooh yeah! In your face Tim!" Arizona turned around from the coffee machine in time to see Callie's signature fist pump. "Rainbow Road is mine!"
"Oh whatever Cal! That green shell was a lucky shot!" Tim waved his hand dismissively in Callie's direction as she continued to cheer.
"Whatever you say buddy…if you're asking me, you're sounding preeeetty butthurt right about now…" Callie threw her head back in laughter, still enjoying her victory.
"Well I guess it's good that nobody asked you then!" Tim tried to act angry, but Callie's goofiness was making quick ruin of it as a grin began to form on his face. Before he could say anymore to his opponent, his view of her was replaced by his sister, who was sitting down in between them.
Placing her coffee cup on the table in front of them, Arizona reached out an arm to still the other two. "Okay you two, enough! It is too early for Mario Kart wars right now. Back to your corners."
A giant laugh exploded out of Tim as he reached out to point animatedly at his sister. "Ha! You sound just like mom!"
Arizona's sudden wide eyed expression at her brother forced a giggle from the beautiful brunette seated on her other side. "I do not!" Arizona held her hand over her chest in shock at her brother's accusation.
Holding his still healing side, Tim was doubled over in laughter. "You so do! Coming over here, sitting down between us with your cup of coffee, breaking up all of the fun. Fun sucker!" Tim used the name the two siblings had long been using to tease their mother.
Callie was now laughing just as hard as Tim despite, or more likely as a reaction to, the glare she was receiving from her girlfriend.
"He is a liar Calliope; don't encourage him!" Arizona swatted the Latina's thigh.
"Sorry babe, but he seems pretty sure in his realization." Callie tried to stifle her laughter for the sake of her now blushing girlfriend, even though she found it irresistibly adorable every time those fair cheeks began to get that pink tint.
"I would say just wait until you meet our mom Cal, but you pretty much just did." Tim simply couldn't stop himself.
Callie decided it was time to try and jump to her girlfriend's side, realizing where her loyalties should lie. "Well, whenever I do meet your mom, I'll be sure to let her know you called her a fun sucker." The brunette began to laugh again as she suddenly found herself under two identical glares.
Crossing his arms with a hmph, Tim smiled cheekily at Callie. "Well then I'll just let her know we have another Mario Kart fanatic joining the family; see how much she likes you then."
Arizona saw the slight falter in Callie's beautiful smile. It wasn't nearly enough for her brother to notice, but she'd spent enough time staring at that gorgeous face to see the nerves and doubt that quickly flashed across it. She knew Callie was aware that her brother was only joking, but she felt the need to defend and reassure her all the same. Slapping her brother on the back of the head, she scoffed. "Psh! Please…Calliope is gonna charm the pants off of mom, stop trying to freak her out."
Noticing the subtle seriousness in his sister's eyes, Tim smiled genuinely at the brunette. "Don't worry Cal, good ole Barb is going to love you. Heck, she'll prefer you to this little punk in no time!" Tim quickly grabbed Arizona's head and had her in a headlock before she could do anything to defend herself.
Callie laughed at the pair as she downed the rest of her girlfriend's coffee and stood up to get a refill as she listened to the strangled, muffled cries of the younger blonde attempting to free herself.
Getting out of her brother's grip, Arizona huffed as she scooted away from him on the couch, kicking him in the hip as she went. "Ass." She leaned back, trying to catch her breath, running her hand though her now insanely ruffled hair. "Speaking of the parentals…how did mom react when you called and told them you were back?" Arizona's face twisted up in confusion as her brother's movements suddenly halted and his faced was fixed with an alarmingly guilty expression. "Tim…?" The almost pained look now on Tim's face gave it all away and suddenly Arizona let out a gasp. "Timothy Daniel Robbins! Do NOT tell me you haven't even called our mother to let her know you are back?!"
"I was going to…"
"Oh. My. God!" Arizona's mouth hung open in complete and utter shock. "Stop. I cannot even believe you right now!" She held her hand up as if to shield herself from her brother's disgrace.
"I know, okay? I know! I'm terrible…I'm the worst son ever…" Tim hung his head in shame. He absolutely had been meaning to call his mother and let her know he was back safe, but the last couple of days, between going to his first appointments at the hospital in Boston, to catching up with his sister and getting to know her girlfriend, he'd let himself get swept up in the differentness of it all and stupidly…let it slip his mind.
"Tim…dude…call your freaking mom…" Callie walked back over to the couch and lightly smacked the back of his head before giving her still stunned girlfriend a kiss to snap her out of her shock coma.
"I know, I'm going to. I just know now that I've taken this long, she's going to lose it and..." He nervously fidgeted with the blanket in his lap. "I know the Colonel will too…"
Arizona let out a huge scoff at that. "Ya think?!" The younger Robbins shook her head at her older brother. "But c'mon man…grow a pair. You can't keep putting this off. And I certainly won't be able to just lie to them if they call me first, so don't think for one second that that's going to happen. So you better just bite the bullet and call them."
Callie was busying herself with putting the video games up as she turned back towards the couch with a laugh. "She's right Tim. You can't just leave moms in the dark about this kind of stuff, it's not right. They worry too easily and freak out too fast."
Tim chuckled at the seriousness in Callie's face. "You seem to be talking from experience there Cal. Is that what your mom does when you don't call her?" Tim's chuckling stopped when he saw Callie's body stiffen at his words and noticed his sister's posture straighten as she turned in her girlfriend's direction. Suddenly he felt as if he'd said something wrong.
Callie tried to let out a small laugh, but it came out sounding more pained than anything else. She quickly turned her back to the siblings, needing to put the last piece of gaming equipment away, but really needing to hide the fact that she felt as if she'd just been punched in the gut. Obviously Tim had no idea about her situation with her family, but his words, mixed with all the talk about their parents had left Callie feeling much more vulnerable to her circumstances than she had in a very long time. The sudden wave of emotion she felt caught her completely off guard. Closing the door to her entertainment system, she kept her face turned as she made her way around the couch, trying to seem as nonchalant as possible, but knowing Arizona was already aware of what was going on. She tried again to laugh it off to pretty much the same outcome as moments before. "She…um…well…sh-she definitely used to Tim…" Callie paused briefly, trying to reign in her emotions but quickly realized it was not going to happen. "I'm um…I'm just gonna go take a shower…I'm sorry, I just-" All she could do at that moment was walk away.
"Calliope…" Arizona tried to reach out to her girlfriend, but she knew that Callie needed to walk away. The brunette was embarrassed enough crying in front of her; she knew Callie wouldn't want to break down in front of Tim. She looked to her brother and gave him a sympathetic smile, seeing the guilt already written across his face.
"What did I say?" He had no idea what had happened, but he knew it wasn't good.
Arizona let out a sigh before running her hand down her face. "Calliope and her family…they aren't on very good terms…" She knew Callie probably assumed that she would explain all of this to Tim, but she still felt reservations about being the one to tell her girlfriend's very personal story, even to her brother.
"Wait, but I thought you guys just went to visit her family?" Tim's look of confusion deepened until realization dawned on him. "You never mentioned her parents…"
Shaking her head in the affirmative, Arizona let out another sigh, her heart always hurting when she thought of Calliope's issues with her parents and how much it must weigh on her girlfriend. "Yeah, we went to visit her uncle and her sister. Her parents don't speak to her. They haven't in almost...four years." The younger blonde let out a short, humorless laugh when she looked up to see the shocked look on her brother's face. "Yeah. Ridiculous, right?"
Tim shook his head slowly, unable to understand. "But…why?"
"Well, they are really conservative. Like…really conservative. And so when they found out about Calliope being into women…" She held her hands out, indicating the obvious.
"No…" Tim shook his head in disbelief.
"Yeah. Her father completely cut her off and neither he nor her mother have spoken to her at all since then. Her uncle, Berto, the one who we just went to visit supports Callie now and her younger sister, Aria obviously still speaks to her and they see each other when they can, but her parents…" Arizona shook her head sadly, still not able to comprehend Callie's parent's decision herself. "It makes no sense, but well…that's just how it is right now. She's been able to move on as best she can; mostly just by not talking about it, but…" Arizona looked in the direction her clearly upset girlfriend had just rushed off to. "I know her heart is broken over it and I know she's still in a lot of pain because of it. She just hides it well. Usually…even from me." Arizona closed her eyes as she thought of the many time's Callie had skated past the subject of her parents in conversation.
Rubbing the back of his head, Tim's face looked pained once more. "Well…now I feel like a jerk…"
Arizona let out a small laugh and rubbed her brother's leg. "Don't Timmy; you didn't know. How could you? It's not your fault and I know she doesn't think so either. I should probably go and check on her though."
"Yeah, I've got another appointment at the hospital soon. I'll go ahead and head that way; give you guys some privacy." Tim stood, gathering his crutches to make his way out the door before turning around to his sister. "Tell Cal I'm sorry. I know I didn't know, but…still."
Arizona shook her head, knowing what he was trying to say and knowing how bad he probably felt. After closing the door behind him, she turned and began to make her way back to Callie's bedroom. She knew her girlfriend hated breaking down in front of people almost as much as she did, but she also knew that she wasn't about to just let Callie suffer through whatever she was going through at the moment alone.
Callie felt bad for rushing out of the living room like that, but her overwhelming emotions were getting the best of her and she wasn't about to freak Tim out with her waterworks display. She could hear Arizona quietly say her name as she'd retreated, but she knew the blonde would understand her need to leave and would be able to explain everything to Tim. Making her way into her room, Callie closed the door quickly and crossed the room into her bathroom. She splashed some cold water on her face to try and calm her nerves, but her breathing had since already become sporadic and short and she could feel the waves of anxiety beginning to come crashing over her. Leaning on the counter, she briefly looked into the mirror, thought momentarily about trying to talk herself down, but quickly came to the conclusion that it wouldn't help, so instead she walked back and slowly slid down the wall to the floor. Leaning her head on her knees, she let her tears fall, unable to fight against them any longer. She laughed to herself in her mind, thinking that it had been a while since she'd had a freak out about her parent's abandonment and she supposed she was due for one anyway. It happened every so often and usually, she was lucky enough to hold it off until she was by herself. Sure, Callie was excellent at hiding just how much it all affected her, but she was still only human. She didn't bother looking up when she heard the door to her bedroom open; she knew exactly who it was.
"Calliope?" Arizona slowly made her way into Callie's room, looking around to see where exactly her girlfriend had gone. She looked to the bathroom when she heard quiet whimpers coming from behind the closed door. Knocking softly while opening the door, the sight she found made her chest tighten. "Oh babe…" She quickly knelt down in front of her girlfriend, placing her hands on her knees.
"I'm sorry…" Callie's voice was muffled as she still had her head down.
"Baby, what do you have to be sorry for?" Arizona tried to hide the pained expression on her face as Callie slowly lifted hers.
"I don't know…" Callie just knew she always felt like an idiot when she broke down.
Arizona shook her head, smiling softly at the Latina. "I don't know either." She lifted her hand to cup a tear stained cheek, gently moving her thumb across it. "You wanna talk about it?"
Callie took a deep breath, trying to hold back the waterworks while getting her thoughts in order. "I just…I don't know. I guess talking about your parents and talking about meeting your parents and then…" She looked up at the ceiling briefly, trying to keep her crying under control as she felt Arizona move so she was sitting next to her. "Ya know, my mom used to get upset when I didn't call her for two days and now…" Her body began to shake as another sob made its way up from her chest.
Arizona rubbed her hand on a tan thigh to show her support. She knew nothing she could say would make any of it easier on the brunette and since Callie hadn't really ever spoken this much about how she felt about her parents to the blonde, she chose silence and waited for her love to continue.
Callie loved and appreciated Arizona for her quiet reassurances as she continued. "I mean, we haven't spoken in almost four years. Four years…and it's…it's killed me. And I mean, I tried; I really tried. I called, I emailed, I sent letters for at least the first year of it, but did I get a single response?" Callie let out a sullen laugh. "Once, actually." She looked into the questioning eyes of her girlfriend before shaking her head. "My father picked up the phone once about six months after everything happened. He let me cry on the voicemail for a few minutes before picking up to let me know that it was my choice to separate myself from the family and that it broke his heart to know that I would rather choose a life of sin than a life with my family and that he would never be able to have contact with me until I realized the error of my ways and repented for the sins I had so wrongfully chosen." Callie looked ahead, lost in thought for a moment before her lip began to tremble. She felt Arizona squeeze her leg and she leaned down to put her head on the shorter woman's shoulder, wiping her face even though more tears were continuing to fall. "And I've moved on from ever thinking that they would ever accept me, I have. And I know that it is their fault; that parents are supposed to love their children; that love shouldn't come with conditions, but sometimes, I just gets to me, you know? And I want to meet your parents, I do. I mean, I'm nervous as hell to meet your parents." Callie smiled as she felt a small chuckle escape her girlfriend. "But I'm also excited. Because I love you; and I love what meeting your parents means, because I know what they mean to you, but it just…" Callie took a deep breath, she usually avoided voicing these things out loud, but she felt safe with Arizona and she knew she needed to say them. "It just makes me sad sometimes when I think about it because…I want you to meet my parents. I mean not how they are now because obviously that would be a terrible idea, but I just wish…I don't know, I just wish you could meet my parents."
Arizona nodded her head in understanding. "I wish I could too Calliope." She paused, unsure if she should say what came to her mind next. She decided to go ahead as she continued to rub soothing patterns on Callie's leg. "And I still hold out hope that someday I will." Arizona kissed the top of her girlfriend's head as she let out and unbelieving scoff. "I do. I know you've given up on that hope, at least…I know you've tried, but baby…I just can't believe that anyone in their right mind would ever be able to let you slip out of their life permanently, let alone your parents. You're entirely too much to lose, and it might take them a while, clearly, but I can't help but feel like eventually they will realize the huge mistake they've made. They have to." Arizona truly believed that. She couldn't imagine what kind of person would just be okay with not having someone like Callie in their life. She knew her girlfriend's parents couldn't be all bad. After all, they'd raised two wonderful people. How could people as great as Calliope and Aria come from horrible people? It just didn't make any sense to her.
Wiping her face again while lifting her head to look into those bright blue eyes she loved, Callie took a deep, calming breath. "Well, I'm glad you feel that way, Sweets, but it's been my experience that it isn't really all that hard to cut me out of your life. It's happened on more than one occasion, and as you know, my own parents have done a wonderful job at doing it for the past few years." A few more silent tears fell as looked down at her lap. "I'm clearly not that much to lose." She could feel her girlfriend shaking her head, but just couldn't bring herself to look back up at her until a fair hand scooped up under her chin and forced her to look up.
"Calliope. You're everything." Arizona's heart broke watching Callie's eyes roll, realizing just how worthless Callie's past had made her feel.
"Arizona, my own parents don't care enough about me to even check and see if I'm okay for years. I mean, sure they know Berto takes care of me, and that I am alive and not dead or anything, but still…not even a phone call in years. Seriously, if my parents can't bring themselves to love me enough to accept me no matter what, what is that supposed to tell me?" Callie accepted the fact that she was just going to continue to cry as her girlfriend brought both of her hands up to cup her face. Her stomach did flips when she looked up and was pulled into the intense stare the blonde was giving her.
"Well, what it tells me is that they have their heads shoved entirely too far up their asses to realize what they are doing and what they are missing out on. No disrespect; I mean, they are still your parents after all, and I'm sure in their own backwards way, they think they are doing what's best for you, but if they are willing to miss out on the miraculously wonderful person sitting in front of me right now for any length of time, then they are fucking morons." Arizona smiled when her stern words brought a small chuckle out of her girlfriend before her face returned to its serious demeanor. "Calliope, you are a beautiful, magnificent woman, and I love you so much, and it breaks my heart to see you doubt just how amazing you are."
Callie smiled lovingly at her girlfriend. She hated feeling this way, which is why she'd gotten so good at building up her walls around the insecurities her abandonment issues brought her, but with those blue eyes boring into her, all of her walls came crashing down and she found herself admitting everything she was normally too afraid to say out loud. "I'm terrified that one day you're going to realize that I'm not as wonderful as you think I am…and that you'll leave me too. Just like everyone else." Callie looked back down as her body threatened to shake again with fearful sobs.
Arizona felt a tear fall from her own eye at her girlfriend's admission. She knew this fear had nothing to do with her; she knew that all the people who'd let Callie down and left her in the past had ingrained in her a seriously misguided lack of self-worth. The fact that someone so amazing in Arizona's eyes, the most amazing person she'd ever met, could feel so incredibly worthless made her heart literally crumble into a million pieces. Resigning to the fact that words would get them nowhere, Arizona decided on a different approach and quickly stood up. "Come here Calliope." The blonde held out her hands and helped Callie to stand before moving behind her to turn on the water to her shower.
"What are you doing?" Callie was honestly too emotionally drained to be able to comprehend too much.
"We are going to take a shower, and then I'm taking you to bed." Arizona reached down and lifted her own shirt off of her body before moving forward to do the same to Callie. She then removed the Latina of her bra, shorts, and panties before taking her hair down and directing her into the shower.
Callie paused before entering the shower completely, watching Arizona remove the rest of her clothing. "Arizona you just took a shower."
Arizona shook her head before making her way over to Callie and placing the softest of kisses on her lips and smiling lovingly at her. "Baby…just shut up and get in." She was happy when the brunette did as she was told and didn't put up a further fight. Closing the shower door behind her, Arizona moved Callie so that she was under the warm stream of the water, smiling as a soft moan escaped past plump lips when the hot water cascaded down her tanned body. The shorter woman turned her around and filled her hand with the Latina's shampoo before massaging it into her scalp, loving the way she could see Callie's body further relax at her touch. She placed gentle kisses along strong shoulders as she continued to wash Callie's hair before instructing her back into the water to rinse it while she lathered up a loofah with soap and began to run it across a perfect chest, relishing in the responsiveness of her girlfriend's body. As she reached around to lather Callie's back, she brought their bodies flush together, smiling again as another moan left her lover's lips. She gently kissed the taller woman's neck, under her jaw, and finally her lips as she wrapped her arms around a soapy waist. The kiss wasn't rushed or hard, but soft and sweet, conveying all the love and care she felt for Callie. Releasing plump lips with a pop, she looked up into the hooded eyes of her girlfriend as she brought the loofah lower to clean the more sensitive areas of her body, never breaking eye contact, watching as chocolate pools of wonder turned even darker with desire. As Callie closed her eyes again, Arizona continued with her sweet kisses across the taller woman's chest. She let her tongue poke out, gently grazing her girlfriend's sweet skin as her hands dragged up and down a toned back. Arizona knew that her declarations of love were going to fall on deaf ears this morning; she knew that right now what her love needed was to feel the depth of how she felt. Arizona poured every ounce of affection she could muster into every single touch on her bronze goddess' body. She could feel in the slight trembles her light touches over Callie's body elicited that her girlfriend was soaking it all up and Arizona could only hope that it was helping to extinguish at least some of the doubt Callie kept bottled up inside of her all the time. For as confident and outgoing as Callie could be, Arizona knew that these insecurities were always threatening to undermine it all.
Before turning the water off, Arizona reached up and cupped Callie's face in her hands, urging her to open her eyes and look at her. She raked a finger across the taller woman's forehead and down her cheek before smiling at her and placing a loving kiss on her lips. She pulled back only slightly. "I love you." Arizona's voice was firm, conveying her honesty. She guided Callie's head to her shoulder before placing another kiss behind her ear, whispering softly into it. "I love you." She felt tan arms tighten around her waist at her words. Callie was going to believe her, damnit, after all of this was said and done. Callie was going to believe that Arizona loved her, that that was not going to change, and that she was not going anywhere, no matter what.
Turning off the shower, Arizona stepped out and grabbed a towel, drying herself off quickly before carefully drying Callie off. She led the brunette back into her room, towards the bed, leading her to sit on the edge of it while she stood in between her legs. Arizona had to control her breathing as tan hands quickly came up to rest on her hip bones, Callie's touch causing involuntary reactions in her anytime they were on her body. She smiled down into the heartbreakingly vulnerable brown eyes that were staring up at her as she placed her own hands on either side of Callie's head just under her ears. She could feel Callie's thumbs rubbing circles on her hips and she could see the slight smile on her girlfriend's face at the goosebumps that action always left her with. Leaning down, Arizona placed the tenderest of kisses on the waiting lips of the woman seated under her. They both sighed into the kiss as their bodies came flush together instinctively. Taking a breath, Arizona leaned her forehead against that of her lover's and lost herself in the most expressive eyes she'd ever known before placing another light, quick kiss on those delicious lips. She spoke softly against them, unable to pull herself away completely. "You're so beautiful, Calliope. You take my breath away." She could see Callie eyes gloss over, and knew that her words threatened to make more tears fall from them. Placing both hands on Callie's shoulders, Arizona guided her girlfriend so that she was laying on the bed, raven hair spread out across the pillows. The blonde hovered over her for a moment, taking her time to really appreciate the gorgeous woman below her, to rake her eyes over the perfect body she was about to worship.
Callie's heart felt as if it were about to beat out of her chest. The way Arizona's blue eyes were looking at her, as if she were trying to memorize every inch of her, was sending chills all over Callie's body. When those intense eyes made their way back to her own, she felt her breath catch in her throat. She opened her mouth, as if to say something, not that she'd even be able to have a coherent thought at that moment, but quickly closed it as the blonde leaned down and began peppering her neck with kisses. As those perfect lips moved to her pulse point, Callie's hands came up to hold onto the muscular arms that were on either side of her as an involuntary gasp fell from her lips. "Arizona…" She was quickly met with warm breath on her ear as she felt an instant shock wave of arousal course through her.
"I love you…" Arizona whispered in Callie's ear after hearing her name fall from plump lips. She felt a shudder run through the body under her as the fingers gripping her arms tightened their hold. Bringing her body down, both woman moaned as their entire naked forms came in contact; another, louder moan falling from Callie's lips as Arizona's thigh came in contact with her center and applied the slightest bit of pressure. Arizona brought their lips back together in a searing kiss as she slowly rocked her hips into Callie, feeling the arousal that was already beginning to coat her leg. She had to actively reel herself in with how hot everything was making her. This was about Calliope. She swallowed another moan from her girlfriend as she brought her hand up to caress a perfect breast, loving how quickly the nipple responded under her touch. Rolling the pert bud between her fingers, Arizona couldn't help the small groan as Callie's hips bucked slightly in reaction. Releasing Callie's lips, Arizona left a trail of wet, open-mouthed kisses down from her neck in between the valley of her breasts before taking the nipple not under her hand into her mouth, swirling her tongue over it, closing her eyes briefly as a strangled cry left her girlfriend's mouth. The blonde then kissed her way to the side and just below the breast, sucking on the soft flesh she found there, biting down faintly, hearing a slight hiss from above before she soothed the slight mark she'd made with the flat surface of her tongue. Sitting up slightly, Arizona shifted her body to make room for the hand she was slowly moving down the soft stomach of her girlfriend, making her descent down to where she knew Callie wanted her the most. She could hear the short breaths Callie was taking in anticipation as Arizona slowly moved her hand further down while the other rested just next to Callie's head. As Arizona slowly raked her fingers through Callie's wet folds, she felt one of Callie's hands quickly come up to grasp the hand by her head. Taking one last look at the face of her love, seeing Callie's eyes closed in ecstasy, Arizona looked back down and watched herself sink two fingers into the sweet depths of her girlfriend's body. Once again, neither woman could stifle their moan at this action. Arizona's mouth hung open in pure lust as she continued to watch her fingers disappear into her girlfriend again and again as she slowly pulled them out and repeated the motion. She moved slowly, but went deeply as Callie's hips began to meet her movements. Her thrusts became stronger as she leaned down to leave kisses on any and every part of the perfect naked body under her. Arizona couldn't get enough of this woman, she never would, and she needed Callie to know that.
Callie rocked her hips in time with the fingers that were filling her so perfectly as she felt Arizona everywhere. The blonde's lips were all over her body all at once as her strong arm continued to pump those perfect fingers inside of her. Callie moaned as she felt Arizona's body once again cover her as the blonde shifted to allow her hips access to driving her hand harder. Even though there was more force behind her actions, Callie could still feel the slow, easy movements Arizona was making as she continued to worship her body. And that was the best way Callie could describe what was happening to her: she was being completely worshiped. She'd never felt so coveted in her life. The way Arizona had been touching her, continued to touch her, inside and out, made Callie feel so…wanted; adored even. She could feel Arizona pouring everything she had into her, and the realization of it all brought more tears to Callie's eyes, for a completely different and welcomed reason this time. Opening her eyes when she felt Arizona sit up completely, Callie almost came undone right then and there as she came in contact with the midnight blue eyes of her lover. The way Arizona was watching her move, watching the way her own hands were playing Callie like an instrument, the love pouring out of them was almost too much for Callie to handle. She reached up, placing her hands behind her girlfriend's head, tangling her fingers in soft blonde hair, and urged Arizona down towards her again, begging her breathlessly. "Kiss me."
There was nothing that Arizona would deny Callie in that moment as she brought her lips crashing down against the almost bruised ones beneath her as she continued to work her fingers inside of her. The almost desperate way Callie's hands moved in her hair and pulled her impossibly closer almost brought the blonde to her own climax without even being touched. She let out a soft whimper as she began to feel Callie's walls tighten around her fingers; she knew it would not take much more. Leaning up slightly on her arm so she could watch her love come undone, she began curling her fingers inside, touching the spot she knew would cause Callie to come unglued while using her thumb to circle her throbbing clit. Arizona watched Callie's face begin to twist in pleasure as a telling moan made its way out of her throat. "Open your eyes Calliope." Arizona urged eagerly, she needed to see Callie's eyes as she came, needed to know everything she was feeling and if she'd been able to get through to her. As the eyes she'd fallen in love with slowly opened, she could see every emotion possible fly though them. She could see the bare vulnerability written across them. "Let go Calliope. I'm here. I promise. I love you." Seeing her girlfriend's eyes widen slightly before she came undone, Arizona knew Callie had understood her words, understood her actions.
Locking eyes with Arizona just before tumbling over the edge was more than enough to ensure an intense orgasm, but the sweet, genuine words the blonde had spoken to her made Callie's heart explode along with the rest of her body. She'd never felt so loved in her life. The honesty of Arizona's words accompanied with the truth spilling from her beautiful blue eyes overwhelmed Callie as she felt her stomach tighten and body begin to lose control as the most intense feeling she'd ever experience overcame her. "Oh…oh god…Ari-z-zoooona…" Callie's voice sounded foreign to her own ears as she felt as if she was outside of her body. She did not break eye contact with those ever darkening pools of blue before her, feeling as if they were the only things tethering her to this world as her suddenly convulsing body fell over into oblivion. It felt like forever before Callie felt her body collapse back onto the bed after arching impossibly high into the body above her. She felt tears leave her eyes out of the sheer intensity of what she was feeling.
The blonde smiled as she witnessed what she believed to be the most beautiful thing in the world as Callie came. She wrapped her arm around the glistening, almost violently trembling body below her as she brought her goddess down from her high. Arizona continued to move her fingers slowly inside of Callie, milking every last ounce of pleasure she could as the arching body before her slowly made its way back onto the bed, never losing eye contact with the devilishly sexy woman under her. She gently kissed the few tears that had escaped those beautiful brown eyes. Arizona eased her body down next to the panting woman as she slowly removed her fingers from their favorite spot in the world, smiling at the dissatisfied moan Callie made at the loss before bringing them up to her lips and licking them clean, moaning herself at the sweet taste of her girlfriend. She smiled again as she looked down into the hooded eyes of the woman next to her, unable to hide how pleased she was to be able to bring the Latina such pleasure.
"Give…me…a…minute…and then-" Callie tried to speak between her still panting breaths before she was quieted with a soft kiss. Her eyes briefly rolled into the back of her head at the taste of herself on her girlfriend's lips before she felt Arizona pull the blankets up to cover them.
"Shhhh…Calliope, don't worry about me. This was about you; this was about me taking care of you. Because I love you." Arizona turned the brunette over and spooned her from behind, placing a soft kiss behind her ear, loving the feeling of Callie's body relaxing into hers as a soft sigh left those perfect lips.
Feeling those strong, protecting arms surround her as she cuddled back into the naked body of her girlfriend, Callie let out a content sigh, feeling safer and more loved than she'd ever thought possible. "I know you do." Callie smiled to herself, because she really did know, she could feel it in every single touch since Arizona had taken her into the shower. "I love you too."
A full dimpled smile found its way onto Arizona's face as she nuzzled into the back of her girlfriend's neck, inhaling the scent that was pure Calliope. She knew she'd fallen fast for the Latina; but fallen she had, that much was for sure, and she found absolute joy in the fact that she could hear in Callie's voice that her assurances had stuck. Squeezing her arm tighter around a soft waist, Arizona placed one more kiss behind the brunette's ear before closing her eyes and letting a soft "Good' fall from her lips.
