Chapter Fifty-Three


ELIZA'S POV


I swear I've never felt this way before. I'd like to say it's like coming up for air, but some days I struggle to breathe with the amount of love I have for Arizona. I really do. I mean, she is a breath of fresh air in my life, but honestly…she could steal my last breath and I'd happily allow her to. I've never met anyone who is so caring and understanding before, and to know that she will one day be mine, officially, it makes me want to run outside and scream it for the whole world to hear. The whole world needs to hear how much love and respect I have for her. That's the word…respect. It's all well and good loving someone, but respecting them is a whole different ball game. I mean, you can love someone for your own selfish reasons, right? You can love someone to influence your own agenda, but not really have any respect for them. Not this relationship. Not this coming together of two people. The respect I have for Arizona is immeasurable, and I know that it always will be. I know she will always push me to be better. I know she will always correct me when I'm wrong. Most of all, though, I know she will always be the one who makes me feel this way. Even when we are old and retired, I know that one glance and she will make my breath catch in my throat. She's that kind of person, and honestly, I don't know how I ever managed to come into her life when she was available. I still haven't figured out why she ever was available.

It's a winning situation for me, though. I know that much.

When I woke this morning, I found her sat up and staring at her engagement ring. It makes me happy to know that she appreciates it. It was my Grandmothers, and knowing that it is on Arizona's finger makes my heart swell with pride. I'd packed it away a long time ago, convinced I would never have a use for it. Did I think this would happen when I met Arizona? No. I was always certain that I would mess up along the way, and she would kick my ass out of her door in a matter of seconds. Maybe I did mess up once or twice along the way but look at us now. Look at how awesome we are together, and that is all because she gave me the opportunity to be better. She listened, and she gave me the opportunity. It takes a big person to see when things can be fixed. Arizona is that bigger person, and she knows that I appreciate just how much she gave to me in order for me to try. I had to, right? I had to try and be better because I'll be damned if I ever lose this woman.

I've spent the day so far walking around in a daze. My mind isn't in this building with me, but I'm not worried. It's been slow, and pretty quiet, and I don't have long left until the end of my shift. Arizona has been in and out of surgeries all day, and if remember correctly, she is currently in surgery with Karev. Assisting on a case with a nine-year-old. I may or may not have peeked in the gallery a little earlier, but I can't help it. Her work is impeccable and I miss her. Sucks to me me, right?

Now I find myself walking the corridors of Grey Sloan, desperately trying to find something, anything…to take my mind off of these last few hours. Honestly, I'm praying that we both make it home on time tonight. The one thing I've come to love most about our time together is that we get to go home and lock ourselves away. Away from the world. Away from the work. Away from everything.

Rounding the corner on the Ortho floor, I crash into somebody and knock my tablet to the floor. "I'm so sorry." Reaching down to pick it up, I glance over it and check everything is working as it should be.

"It's okay." A familiar voice replies. "You can buy me a drink to make up for it."

Glancing up, I find the one person I don't really want to see right now. "Um, I think I'll pass. I'd sooner you held a grudge." Giving Lou a sarcastic smile, I move past her to leave.

Gripping my wrist, she turns me back around and pulls me to one side, just out of view from anyone else. "You may want to tell your girlfriend to watch her attitude."

"Excuse me?" I furrow my brow. "And it's fiancé." Sensing a little anger brewing, I shake my wrist free from her grip and step back a little. If I've learned anything lately, it's to not be alone with this woman.

"Her attitude. It needs a little work." She scoffs. "And she can stop with the power trip, I'm not scared of her."

"I think you should probably leave, Lou. I'm not getting into this with you. If Arizona has something to say to you, that is up to her. She's not my property."

"Oh really? because I thought she was your raging bulldog." She smirks.

"Did you just-" Cutting myself off, I try to contain my emotions. "You know what, we aren't doing this. Watch it, okay." Walking away, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself right now. If Lou carries on with her smart ass remarks, she will find my hand firmly planted on the other side of her face. I wouldn't usually resort to violence, but I'm willing to make an exception with her.

I know she is purposely up here to see me. She has no other reason to leave her department. I'm going to assume she has had a run-in with Arizona, but that isn't my business. If my fiancé needs to say a few things to her, then that is totally fine by me. I also won't stand for her comparing Arizona to an animal. She really should watch her mouth. Deciding that I'm no longer in the mood for trolling for cases, I take my cell from my lab coat pocket and send off a message.

Hey, I'm headed up to your office to hide for a little while. This day is dragging, and I miss you. I'll see you when you are out of surgery. E x

Slowly making my way back down the corridor I have just come from, I slip off into the stairwell and take the long way round. My cell buzzing in my hand, I smile as I glance at the screen.

Already out. Come find me. A x

On my way. I love you. E x

Um…I love you, more. A x

Adorable. Just freaking adorable. Grinning like a crazy woman, I take the stairs two at a time and reach her floor in minutes. Giving her nurses at their station a smile and a wave, a few of them give me a knowing look, and I feel myself blushing a little. Get a grip, Minnick. Rounding the corner, I find her door open slightly and I slip in as quietly as possible. Her back to me as she taps away on the screen of her cell, I creep up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. "I love you more."

Flinching as I startle her a little, she instantly relaxes into my touch and settles back into my body. "God you feel so good wrapped around me." Her own hands coming to rest on top of mine, she turns her head slightly and places a soft kiss on my jawline. "Amazing, even."

"Mm, I feel good in many different positions that involve you." My voice lowering, I take her earlobe between my teeth and nibble. "Wouldn't you agree?"

"Mm…" Is all she can mumble. I love the reaction I cause.

"Maybe we should lock the door and I'll show you just how good you make me feel?" My hand slipping beneath the waistband of her scrubs, I cup her center and she grinds down against my hand. "Is that a yes?"

"Fuck." She breathes out.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" My fingers hooking beneath her panties, I pull them to one side and tease her a little more.

"Lock that door, Eliza." She breathes out. "Right now." my hand disappearing, I don't like the loss of contact. Moving towards the door, I hear some scuffling behind me, and as I flick the lock, I turn to find papers all over the floor, and Arizona half naked sat up on her desk.

"Jesus Christ." I moan as I roll my eyes and make my way back over to the gorgeous blonde who is just waiting for me to take her. God, I could take her every hour of the day. "Y-You planned this, didn't you?"

"Nope." She smiles. "Didn't need to."

Running my fingers up her thighs, I narrow my eyes and lick my lips. "Why is that?"

"I can have you whenever I want." She shrugs. Wrapping her legs around my waist, she pulls my body in closer and crushes her lips into mine. "Just like right now." Mumbling against my lips, she takes my bottom one between her teeth and grips onto my ass.

My hand running up and under her scrub top, I pinch at her material covered nipple, and she arches her back. Her palms flat on the desk behind her. Trailing kisses along her jawline and up her neck, she moans and delights in every sensation I'm causing right now. No matter how much we get naked, I can never get enough of this woman. Her scent, her sounds, her skin… everything makes me a little crazier every time. Thankful that she has already removed her scrub pants and panties, it provides me with more time to enjoy her body, without barriers. Barriers only prolong the inevitable, and I can sense that she doesn't need or want that right now. What she needs is me. Me and my ability to know exactly what spots to hit.

Grabbing her office chair, I settle down in it and pull her a little closer to the edge of the desk. Her gorgeous thighs falling open in front of me, my mouth salivates and my body responds. Her arousal evident, her sex simply glistens and lures me in. "Eliza." She groans. "I need your mouth." Forcing her hips up a little, I close my eyes and try to restrain myself from taking her over the edge right this second.

My tongue slowly making its way up to Arizona's inner thigh, she grips the back of my head and forces me painfully close to exactly where I know she wants me. Where she needs me. Grazing my thumb across her swollen clit, she gasps and drags her nails up the back of my scalp. It's hot, beautiful and painful all at once. Poking out my tongue, I get a taste of my fiancé and it makes my head spin. Not only does she taste amazing, but she is giving off some major sounds right now. The idea of us getting caught causing a flood of wetness to pool between my own legs, I squeeze them shut and focus on the dripping center in front of me. Her arousal flooding my fingers, I slip in a single digit barely half way through. A little teasing never hurt anyone, right? Grabbing my wrist, her eyes find mine and she narrows her eyes. "Please?"

Pulling out, I slam back in deep with two fingers. Her entire body jolting, she grips onto the edge of the desk, her knuckles turning white. My tongue working her throbbing bundle, her body falls back against the cold hard wood desk. Arching and writhing against me, the room suddenly gets extremely hot. I need more of her. I need to feel her against me. Pulling out of her, I pull my scrub top up and over my head. My pants and underwear quickly following, I lean up and place a knee between her legs. Climbing up and resting above her, her eyes have never looked so dark. Like I'm the only person in her world right now. I'm the only one that will ever matter. I'm hers. Tugging at her own scrub top, she sits up a little and I remove it. Throwing it to the other side of the room, she grips onto my shoulders and pulls me down against her. My leg still between her thighs, I place a trail of kisses up her stomach, between her breasts, before my lips settle on her own. It's heated and it's frenzied, but that is just how she likes it. She wants me to tease, she wants me to give it to her good, and right now, I have every intention of doing so.

My hand moving down her body, I flick the clasp of her bra and her breasts spill out. Slipping that same hand between our bodies, I use my own thigh for a little extra strength. Her sex dripping like never before, I slide two fingers in deep and she arches her back up off of the desk. Taking a nipple between my teeth, she gasps and moans like never before and I swear she is going to be the complete death of me. "M-More." She begs. "I need more."

Slipping in a third, she gives me a throaty "Mmm" and I'm all over her like nothing else in this world matters. Because nothing else does matter. She is the only one, and when she has the desperate need for me like she does right now, I've got nothing but tunnel vision. The world could end around us and neither of us would have any idea. It's that intense connection that we share. It's immeasurable, it's perfect, but most of all….it's ours. It's our connection, and it's like no other. Unique. It's quite simply unique.

Slamming home with the extra strength of my thigh, she matches every single thrust. Anyone walking by will hear us, that much I know, but I can't possibly ask her to be quiet. That would just be rude. "Eliza." She breathes out. "God, yes!" Forcing herself against me, hard, my thumb comes to rest over her clit and I can feel her walls drag my fingers in impossibly deep.

Her own hand weaving between us, my eyes widen as she slips two fingers inside my own entrance. Unexpectedly. It knocks me out of sync for a second, but I'm back in the game almost immediately. "Come with me, Eliza." Her words causing a flood of emotions through my body, I glance to my right and find her engagement ring on show. Sure, her hand is gripping the edge of her office desk, but I can see the ring shining in what little light there is in the room. Realizing exactly why I'm on this planet, I allow my body to take over and I know it's only a matter of seconds before I come. Hard. "A-Arizo-" My orgasm hitting full force, all breath leaves my body. Her own following, she pulls my head down and takes my lips against her own. It's hard and it's hot, but it's everything I love about us.

I mean, we are on her office desk screaming each other's names…what isn't there to love about that? Convulsing beneath me, a fresh flood of arousal covers my hand and I desperately need to taste her. Climbing down her body, I take her clit between my lips and shockwaves hit her body. Every breath becomes a gasp and I can't help but smile with pride. I know she has never experienced anyone like me, and that isn't me boasting, it's simply me telling it how it is. "You taste fucking amazing." Lapping up her juices, I reach her lips once I'm satisfied that I've had my fill of Arizona Robbins.

"Eliza, Jesus fucking Christ!" She breathes out. "T-That was-"

"I know." Placing light kisses on her lips, repeatedly, she moans as she tastes herself when I slip my tongue inside. Running it along the roof of her mouth, she groans one last time before I settle down on top of her. "I love you, Arizona Robbins."

"Mm, I love you too. Like you would never believe."

"Oh, I believe it." She smiles as she places a kiss on my forehead. "But, I cannot leave this room."

"Why?"

"Um…there is definitely a line of people outside that door." She laughs. "Do you think I could scale the outside wall outside the window?"

"Uh…You have a very healthy sex life." I shrug. "Sing it loud and proud, baby!"

Right now, it is time to get home and continue this. There is no way we are going home to simply cuddle tonight. No chance in hell.


"There's always that one person that will always have your heart…You never see it coming cause you're blinded from the start…."

Hit review, guys! So much love for all of you!
