AN: First, I would like to apologize for how long it has taken me to post this. I hate waiting for weeks or months for a chapter when I am reading a story but it truly could not be helped. For those of you on the FB calzona page, I did make a post, for those of you not on there, I am sorry you waited so long with no explanation. Second, thank you to everyone who reached out to me to make sure I was ok. I am. My mom, sister, and brother-in-law all had covid, they have all recovered. My dad was with me for three weeks which did not allow me to get any writing done. In addition to packing and the stresses that come along with moving 900 miles mixed with the rising covid cases at work and I was near my breaking point. I am back now though. With moving, there still may be delays throughout the summer but after that I hope to get back to my regular schedule of weekly to biweekly chapters. I hope you are all still with me. Third thank you for your loyalty and support of this story. I promise you it will get finished, bare with me.
This is part one of their honeymoon, it is poorly edited be warned. I hope it was worth the wait, happy reading :)
Chapter Fifty-Six
"Mmm that feels good." Callie moaned as Arizona's fingers pressed into the balls of her feet.
"I thought you said my hands were girly." Arizona teased.
"Oh, they are but I could still get used to a foot massage every night, especially after all the dancing we did."
"That was two days ago. We landed in Paris at five this morning, it is now almost ten at night and we still have not left this room."
"We still have plenty of time for sightseeing in Paris before we move on to our next destination, I promise."
"And where is our next destination?"
"You will find out when we head there. Now, come up here so I can kiss you." Callie demanded gently.
Arizona complied, without hesitation. They had slept a little on the flight but knowing their first destination was Paris, Arizona had been too excited to sleep. Once they had gotten to their hotel it was nearly seven in the morning and what was supposed to be a quick nap had turned into the couple sleeping until dinnertime. They had ordered room service and champagne, both of which they had enjoyed in the bathtub along with dessert of another kind. Now they sat on the sofa in their room looking out the floor length window with a view of the Eiffel Tower in their fluffy bathrobes. Callie sighed in protest as the blonde ended their kiss much too quickly for her liking.
"Should we go for a walk?" Arizona suggested, standing and looking out at the city.
"We are still in our robes."
"I know but we are jet lagged. We need to sleep tonight so that we can be awake tomorrow during the day. Some fresh air and exercise will help wear us out."
"I know another way to wear you out." Callie replied with a wink as she came up behind the blonde and wrapped her arms around her waist.
"Which we will definitely partake in as well." Arizona replied with a smile.
"Fine. But just a quick walk and then back to the room."
"I have no objections with that plan." Arizona replied, placing her hands over Callie's.
Dressed in comfortable clothes and sandals, the couple strolled down the street hand in hand enjoying the warm weather and fresh air. It had a big city smell but the buildings had an elegance and history to them that you just didn't find in the U.S. After a short walk to satisfy her wife, Callie suggested they stop for gelato at a still open street vendor they passed. Gelato in hand, they headed back to their room.
"Come on Callie, let me try yours."
"No, I don't want your sprinkles and pink rainbow crap in my chocolate." Callie replied teasingly but she surrendered her cup, allowing Arizona to contaminate her chocolate espresso ice cream.
"Hmmm, interesting but mine is better." Arizona replied.
"So you contaminated perfectly good chocolate with your...what is that again?"
"Confetti cookie."
"You contaminated my chocolate espresso with your cookie crap and then you're going to insult it." Callie bantered back, feigning annoyance.
"Try it, it's really good." Arizona said, shoving her tan ice cream with pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles at Callie.
"No thanks. I'll probably turn into a my little pony or something if I eat that." Callie snarked. Arizona burst out laughing at Callie's comment, along with the look on her face. "What's so funny?"
"Well, I stole some of your gelato and I haven't turned all dark and frowny yet, I think you're safe."
"Dark and frowny huh?" Callie asked, pinching her wife's sides playfully.
"Ummm….edgy, I meant edgy." Arizona squealed, stopping and standing on her tiptoes to place a kiss on Callie's cold lips.
"Mmmhmmm. You're lucky I love you."
"I really am." The blonde giggled, making Callie smile brightly.
"Come on you weirdo, let's get back to our room."
XXXXX
"Mmmm I think sex in France is my favorite so far." Callie moaned in appreciation as her wife emerged from between her legs. The blonde giggled playfully and then looked at her with smoldering blue eyes that made the brunette horny all over again despite having just experienced a mind blowing orgasm.
"What about the rugburn sex in Barcelona? I think that was my favorite." Arizona sighed with the memory as she dropped down on the bed beside Callie.
"Oh?"
"Mmmhmm."
"Let's see if we can change that." Callie said, rolling on top of the blonde. Callie's mouth was on Arizona before the blonde could respond with more than a few sighs of appreciation for her wife's talented tongue.
The brunette licked a long trail up a slender neck and whispered words in Spanish that Arizona didn't understand but was able to interpret the meaning just the same. "God I love it when you speak in Spanish like that. It's so sexy and it turns me on."
"I know." Callie hummed as she continued her mission to taste and tease her wife until she was begging for release.
Callie's tongue separated the glossy folds of her wife's center as the brunette hummed once again in contentment. Arizona wiggled beneath her at the sensation and Callie smiled as she allowed her lips to graze the little pink clit that was poking out. She hummed again, this time intentionally to elicit the same reaction, with success. Noting Arizona's reaction, Callie continued humming, a catchy little pop song that had been stuck in her head since the wedding. Arizona writhed beneath her as Callie refused to do more than hum with her lips against the blonde's bundle of nerves.
"Callie...that feels good but it's not enough." Arizona panted, sounding out of breath.
"I know." Callie replied with a smile, she licked the length of her wife's slit, allowing her tongue to penetrate her quickly before she placed her lips back over Arizona's clit and resumed her humming. She felt fingernails scrape her skull before nimble fingers threaded through her hair.
"Callie…" Arizona said, somewhere between pleading and scolding.
"Si, querida?"
"Stop teasing me."
"I didn't hear you say please."
"Calliope, seriously, I need you to stop teasing me. Please just…" Before Arizona could finish her sentence, Callie stuck her tongue out and set to work pleasing her wife. "Yes, fuck, Callie right there."
Less than a minute later, Arizona stiffened and convulsed beneath her wife as Callie brought her down from her orgasm. The blonde worked to catch her breath as Callie plopped down beside her, drawing lazy circles on her wife's belly. Her heart fluttered as she took in the rosy cheeks and chapped lips, Arizona's curls messy and spread out on the pillow. She had never felt more lucky or more love for the woman beside her.
"What?" Arizona asked softly, feeling Callie's eyes on her as she intertwined their fingers together.
"I just love you so much. Sometimes I can't believe that this is real life. I just feel so incredibly lucky." Callie confessed. The blonde smiled softly and reached up to brush hair from Callie's eyes.
"I'm the lucky one." Arizona said, before pulling Callie's face to hers to share an intimate kiss.
"What do you want to do tomorrow?"
"You don't have anything planned?" Arizona asked in surprise.
"Not tomorrow. Tomorrow I thought I'd let you pick some things for us to do."
"Well I did do some research on the place and there's a few things I'd like to see with you. Since you have planned all this for me and you don't get many surprises, I kind of want it to be a surprise though."
"That's really sweet of you. Ok, I will let you surprise me then." Callie said, kissing the tip of Arizona's nose.
"We better get some sleep then, we need to get an early start."
"How early?"
"I'll set an alarm."
"This is our honeymoon, I don't think alarms are allowed."
"Calliope, if we don't set an alarm you won't get married morning sex before we leave and then you'll be cranky all day."
"Me? Cranky? You must be thinking of your other wife."
"Oh yea, how could I forget about her?" Arizona said, rolling her eyes as she settled against Callie's chest.
"I just gave you a mindblowing orgasm that wiped every other woman from your mind."
"Oh yes there is that." Arizona giggled at Callie's teasing. "I love you."
"I love you too. Now, let me sleep so I can get laid in the morning."
Arizona pulled out her laptop as Callie snored lightly beside her. The Latina could sleep anywhere at any time of day but Arizona knew the jet lag would get the best of her after their incidental day-long nap the previous day. She used her insomnia to plan the day for them, emailing back and forth with her dad for ideas. Having been to Paris before, she knew a few places she wanted to take her wife to experience together so she began her search. Her French was rusty to say the least. Having once been nearly fluent, she was lucky to be able to have a simple conversation now. She hadn't used it regularly in years and so she had lost most of it.
An hour later with a list of the things she had planned for them for the next day, Arizona switched off the bedside lamp and laid down beside Callie studying her features. She could never get tired of the long dark lashes and straight nose. She traced her fingertips lightly over the angle of a strong jawline and smiled as Callie smiled in her sleep. The Latina didn't just grin, it was a full on smile and Arizona loved to watch her sleep because of the happiness always written on the Latina's face. While awake, Callie was somewhat guarded, she had a reputation to maintain but when she slept she was so peaceful and happy, Arizona loved the uninhibited sides of Callie that only she got to witness. With a peck to plump lips, Arizona finally settled into her pillow, draping an arm around Callie's midsection and smiling as the brunette subconsciously moved closer.
Arizona sighed in contentment as she let the comfort of Callie's body lull her into drowsiness. Callie, her wife. She couldn't stop thinking about that word. It wasn't a word she thought she would ever need to use or want and now she realized she couldn't live without it. Or at least without the person attached to the title. She didn't remember drifting off to sleep but at some point she must have, still thinking about her wife when the woman beside her woke her from her dreamless sleep. At first, Arizona was alarmed as she realized Callie moaning had woken her up. She was worried the Latina was in pain but as she took in the familiar features, she smiled, realizing Callie must be having a sex dream. At the realization, Arizona weighed her options but really there was only one choice, she would never give up the opportunity to pleasure her wife.
Arizona pulled the silky sheets down the naked tan body of her wife, watching in awe as dark nipples hardened when the mixture of the sheets sliding against them followed by cold air hitting them. Callie moaned again, making Arizona remember her mission as she slowly pulled the sheet further down revealing the soft skin of Callie's stomach and then the curve of her hip bones and finally, the neatly waxed mound that she could see glistening with wetness even in the darkness of their room. Arizona licked her lips before she gently spread strong thighs and blew air over Callie's center. Callie wiggled beneath her slightly and let out another moan, her hands fisting the fitted sheets of the bed. Arizona briefly wondered what the brunette was dreaming about or more importantly who but she quickly shook her thoughts away. Did it matter, really? She was the one with her face less than three inches from the woman's most intimate spot. And with that, the blonde dove in, gently licking Callie's clit before sucking it into her mouth.
Callie moaned again, her body responding to Arizona even in her dream state. Arizona allowed her hands to roam up the muscular body and rest on hard nipples. Her hands massaged, pinched, and tugged without any thought, her own body having muscle memory of all the times it had pleasured this body previously. Arizona dipped her tongue inside Callie, stroking her walls and gathering juices before pulling out and returning to her clit. Strong fingers scrapped against her scalp and wrapped in her hair, holding her face in place. She smiled as she realized Callie, though still asleep, was becoming more and more conscious of the blonde's advances on her body.
The blonde felt shaped thighs tighten against her ears and curvy hips bucked up to meet her face. She looked up and locked her eyes with big brown ones a second before Callie's body shook beneath her, the sweet juices flooding the sheets and Arizona's chest as Callie screamed her name, her hands painfully tight in her blonde hair. She felt Callie's body relax beneath her, her fingers loosening their grip in Arizona's hair. The blonde placed a kiss over Callie's swollen lips before starting a trail of kisses up her body until she reached her plump lips and placed a salacious kiss on them.
"Wow, what was that for? Not that I'm complaining but that was, that was...incredible." Callie sighed, causing Arizona to giggle.
"Well you started it with all the moaning you were doing in your sleep. I thought I'd help you out."
"Mmm, thank you."
"So what were you dreaming about? You were pretty wet before I joined the party."
"You in a bikini rubbing suntan lotion on me."
"You were not!"
"I really was. You kept rubbing higher and higher but not high enough. And that bikini you were wearing, we are going to have to find one like that because wow."
"You're a dork." Arizona laughed.
"Maybe but now I'm your dork. Jokes on you because you're stuck with me now."
"I can live with that." Arizona replied, a dimpled smile on her face as she leaned down and kissed Callie. Callie deepened the kiss, placing her hand on Arizona's neck to hold her in position.
"How about I repay the favor?"
"Tonight. Right now, it's time to get up and get our day started."
"Oh no you don't Arizona Torres. You promised me morning sex."
"And I seem to recall you cumming in my mouth about five minutes ago."
"Doesn't count. I was asleep for half of it and I want to taste MY wife. So, if you want YOUR wife happy and not moody all day, I think we need at least one more orgasm each."
An hour later and having both been satisfied with two more orgasms each, Callie finally agreed to let her wife shower, separately so they could go get crepes from a street vendor before starting their day. She had been teasing Arizona about being moody but in reality she was excited to see what the blonde had in store for them. What she didn't need was a hangry Arizona though, you had approximately twenty two minutes from first tummy grumble to full on grizzly bear and Callie had been on the receiving end far too many times to want to start her day out that way. Five minutes later, Arizona returned, in a towel and freshly showered, the water still running for Callie. The Latina pecked light pink lips and made her way to the shower for a quick clean up. She looked at her watch, seventeen minutes to get her wife fed, they could make it.
"Oh my God, these are amazing." Arizona moaned as she ate half of her strawberry and cream crepe in one bite. Callie looked at her, one eyebrow arched as she took a bite of her own chocolate and hazelnut crepe. "I'm sorry for what I said earlier, I was just so hungry."
"So you're admitting you get hangry?"
"Maybe a little but it's your fault, you wore me out and didn't feed me first."
"I seem to remember waking up to your head between my legs so whose fault is it really?"
"Well if it's such a hardship for you I don't have to do it again…." Arizona teased.
"Ok, point taken but I'm keeping snacks by the bed from now on."
"So now that we're fed, let's go see about renting some bikes."
"Bikes?"
"Well we could do a taxi if you would prefer but I saw the bikes for rent last night on our walk and the weather is so nice." Arizona replied.
"What about the mopeds?" Callie asked, not wanting to admit that she had never learned to ride a bike.
"Callie we are doctors, do you honestly think I'm letting either of us ride on one of those?"
"There are helmets and we won't be going too fast. Come on, let's live a little." Callie said, pulling the blonde's hands into hers. She could see from the mischievous twinkle in the blue eyes that Arizona was intrigued by the idea.
"I'm not sure I could drive one."
"Yes you can but if you're not comfortable then we can ride together, you can fit two people on those things." Callie replied.
Arizona looked at her wife suspiciously. Although Callie was definitely badass and she had no trouble envisioning her on a motorcycle, she did not ever think the Latina would be happy about the blonde getting on one. Ok, so a vespa wasn't exactly a motorcycle but still, it could be dangerous and not only was Callie ok with it, she was encouraging it. Maybe she just wanted to let loose on their honeymoon so the blonde decided to go with it.
"Ok, if you teach me to drive it."
"Yes, this is going to be so cool." Callie replied, grabbing Arizona's hand and leading her to the rental shop across the street.
Half an hour later, Arizona was on the back end of a shiny red vespa holding tightly to Callie's waist as the brunette drove them to the Luxembourg Gardens where Arizona had planned their first stop. Most of the rest of the stops they could have walked to but this would definitely be an adventure and get them to their destinations much quicker. Callie easily found a parking spot and the couple spent the early part of the morning walking hand in hand through the gardens. Arizona pointed out different things to Callie and spoke about the history, Callie loved listening to Arizona, their roles were slightly reversed in Paris and Callie got a glimpse of how Arizona must have felt in Spain with Callie. The two stopped at the Marie de Medicis fountain and admired it for a while.
"It's beautiful here. Thanks for showing it to me." Callie said as the couple walked back to the vespa.
"I always wanted to come here but never found the time when we were here. I'm glad I got to share it with you."
"Where to next?" Callie asked.
"Actually, let me drive, it's not far." Arizona said bravely. Callie held on tightly as the blonde easily navigated the streets to their next stop.
"The Pantheon." Callie said, knowing the site as Arizona climbed off the bike.
"Mmm, the balcony of Paris. We can go up and see the whole city. I know you don't like heights but it's safe."
"No, I want to." Callie replied with a big smile.
"Wow, you can see all of the Gardens from here."
"You can see everything, it's amazing." Callie said.
"Would you two like your picture taken?" A young woman asked.
"Yes, please." Callie replied, handing her phone over. The woman snapped a picture of the two hugging.
"Thank you."
"You're very welcome, you make a beautiful couple." The woman replied before handing the phone back and walking away to join her group.
"Come on, we have one more stop before lunch and I am really excited to show you this one." Arizona said. Callie climbed on back once again and Arizona drove them a few blocks.
"I don't recognize this one." Callie said.
"It's a bookstore, Shakespeare and Company. Hemingway used to come here, or at least, that's what my dad told me."
"Wow, it's beautiful in here." Callie said as they entered the quaint little shop. The smell of old paper and coffee filled her nostrils, it was comforting and familiar, like her father's study.
The couple spent some time perusing the store as they sipped at the coffee they had purchased. Arizona found some old photos for sale for her mom and Callie found a book she had been looking for for years. They made their purchases and headed to the Ile de la cite. They parked their vespa near the cafe Arizona had picked for lunch and walked around taking in the sites for a little longer before heading back to the cafe to eat.
"This is incredible, where did you come up with all these little places?" Callie asked. They had just been seated at their table at Au Vieux having just viewed Notre Dame and visited the plaque in the ground that marked Point Zero des Routes de France,
"A little bit of googling and also some stories I've heard from my dad and one of my old college friends. I had always planned to come study abroad in Paris but after Andi and all the traveling I did as a kid, the idea became less appealing. I just wanted a place to call home for a while. But that doesn't mean I have forgotten all the travel adventures I had planned if I ever made it back."
"I thought we would be going to the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower." Callie confessed.
"I'd like to see those too but I figured you already had plans to go to those places. I wanted to take you to some less famous sites."
"I have to say, French food isn't my favorite, although the macarons and pastries mostly make up for it." Callie replied as she eyeballed the plate that had just been placed in front of her.
"Try it, it's amazing." Arizona said.
"Ok, you're right, that is delicious." Callie said.
The couple chatted happily as they ate their meal. Callie had wanted to order dessert but Arizona had told her to wait. After paying their bill, Arizona navigated the streets once again to the pastry shop the hotel clerk had recommended. The women had their selected pastries from Angelina's boxed up and Arizona secured them to the basket behind her as she allowed Callie to drive this time. Their next destination was a bit further away and though she was getting the hang of it, driving the vespa too far didn't appeal to her. Plus she was going to have to refer to the map to get them to the right location.
"Arizona, did you bring me to a cemetery?"
"I know, it's our honeymoon and this isn't exactly the most romantic place but it has a lot of history, which you love. And I've been told that it is very beautiful to walk through."
"If our next stop is the catacombs then I think I'm going to have to give you a lesson in romance." Callie teased.
"It's not." Arizona replied with a smile. She didn't tell her wife that she had been unable to get tickets on such short notice or it very may well have been their next stop.
"I'm really surprised you brought me here." Callie said softly. She had to admit that it was beautiful, the cobblestone path and the history of the cemetery brought about a peacefulness around them.
"I've always found cemeteries fascinating. Plus, there's a few famous people buried here that I thought might interest you."
"Oh? Who?"
"Oscar Wilde."
"Really? That's kind of cool."
"Mmmhmm but there's another one that might interest you more."
"Who?"
"Jim Morrison."
"What? No way. How do you know this?"
"I told you, my dad knows a lot about all of the places he ever visits, lives, or is transferred to. His curiosity with cemeteries rubbed off on Tim and I."
"Let's go find it." Callie said excitedly.
A little over two hours later, the couple was headed back to the entrance having finally found Jim Morrison's grave in a fenced area of the cemetery. Callie had to admit, the cemetery had been well worth the visit, it had been surprisingly beautiful and calming. The couple shared their pastries and a quick kiss before getting back on the vespa and heading back the way they had come with Arizona driving this time.
"Would you ladies like your picture drawn? I can do it quickly." A street performer asked as the women walked down the street hand in hand near their next destination. Arizona was eager to get to the next stop but when she saw the caricature drawings, she knew they had to get one.
"Yes please." Arizona replied. She and Callie sat beside each other on the bench where he indicated and smiled widely.
"Wow." Callie said as the man handed them the finalized picture. Arizona laughed at the exaggerated drawing featuring Callie's huge eyes and her own very prominent dimples, she loved it.
"Thank you so much, I love it." Arizona said, paying the man.
"I can't believe you paid him for this." Callie teased.
"I'm going to hang it in our bedroom." Arizona said, teasing back as she bumped Callie with her shoulder.
"Only if you never want to have sex again." Callie replied under her breath.
"Here we are." Arizona said, stopping at a wall with some sort of mural on it.
"What's this?" Callie asked.
"It's called the wall of love. 'I love you' is written in hundreds of different languages." Arizona explained.
"Now this is romantic, Arizona." Callie replied, pulling her wife into an embrace and kissing her gently on the lips.
"What do you say we grab some food from a street vendor and then bring it back here to eat it?"
"Sounds like a fantastic idea. How many more stops on your agenda?"
"Just one but it's a little early. We have plenty of time for dinner."
The couple spent some time walking the nearby streets, finding street vendors and getting food from multiple places before taking it back to a bench near the wall of love and eating while they talked. Arizona was glad they had rented the vespa, their destinations had been much further apart than she had first estimated and they may not have made it to all of them if they had walked. Not to mention, she was already feeling the fatigue from the walking they had done with so little sleep.
"Ready for our last stop?" Arizona asked as she watched Callie staring peacefully at the wall.
"I am. It was kind of nice to be surprised today, thank you Arizona, I really loved it."
"Well, I hope you love this last stop too." Arizona replied, pecking those plump lips she loved so much before pulling Callie to a standing position and hugging her tightly. "I love you Calliope Iphegenia Torres."
"I love you too Arizona Monroe Robbins Torres."
The couple arrived at their last destination with about half an hour to spare. They climbed the three hundred stairs to the top of the dome at Sacre Couer and leaned against each other as they caught their breath. Arizona looked out at the view and smiled, the sunset that was about to take place was going to be absolutely stunning.
"The view is amazing, Arizona."
"It really is. I wanted to see the sunset with you from here." Arizona said. She hugged Callie from behind, resting her chin against the broad shoulder as they watched the sun begin to set in a mix of oranges and pinks that faded into purples and dark blues before the sky went dark, lit only by the glow of millions of stars and the lights of the city below.
"Today was amazing, Arizona, I really loved everything about it."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was a bit worried you wouldn't be completely onboard with everything."
"I'm serious, I really loved it, Arizona. And I love you for wanting to do all these little adventures with me." Callie replied, kissing Arizona passionately. The last several hours, making her feel closer to her wife.
"Let's get back to the hotel. I need a hot bath with my wife."
"Hmmm she's a lucky woman."
"Don't forget it." Arizona replied cheekily with a laugh.
XXXXX
The next three days in Paris were spent much the same way. They visited the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, The Cathedral de Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Palace of Versailles. Callie took Arizona on a boat ride wine tour on the Seine River. They shopped along Champs-Elyees, ate at little cafes and street vendors they found, and spent the quiet hours of the night making love in their hotel room. On their last night in Paris, Callie told Arizona to get dressed for a night out.
"Moulin Rouge, Callie, really?" Arizona squealed as Callie helped her out of the back of the taxi.
"Yes baby. I thought you would enjoy this and since it's our last night in Paris, I wanted to do something special and celebrate with you."
"This is amazing, I can't believe you got us tickets. And you know, we've been married for a whole week now."
"I know, which is why we are out celebrating tonight. We are having dinner and seeing a show." Callie replied as the usher led them to a private table set with lit candles. They had the perfect view of the stage.
Callie watched Arizona as the lights dimmed and the show started, the excitement was evident on the blonde's face. Arizona leaned over and kissed Callie quickly, their fingers interlacing in the blonde's lap beneath the table as Callie scooted her chair closer. The show was exciting, intriguing, and the dancing was seductive. Callie found her hands roaming bare thighs, Arizona's fingers tracing patterns over her roaming hands. She could tell the few times that Arizona made eye contact with her that the blonde was just as turned on as she was which somehow helped her keep her libido in check. They shared a few sweet kisses, deepening it once only to realize it was a mistake as they were both on the verge of being unable to control themselves. The cab ride back to the hotel was torture and they barely spoke on the short ride.
"I know I've told you before that red was your color but you look beautiful in this color, Arizona." Callie said, coming up behind the blonde and unzipping the dress from behind. The shimmering royal blue silk fell to the floor at Arizona's heeled feet.
"You look pretty hot yourself. I was disappointed at first that you weren't wearing a dress but these pants with those heels, yum." Arizona replied, her blue eyes looking darker with desire.
Callie stood still as Arizona unzipped the dress pants and reached her hand in, not bothering to remove the pants completely. Her hands breached the top of Callie's lacy panties and dipped down into her folds. Callie moaned as she felt Arizona coating her fingers with her wetness before entering her with two of them. The intrusion was welcome and nearly brought Callie to her knees as Arizona pumped in and out of her without remorse, her mouth and teeth busily nipping at the skin of her neck and bare shoulders.
Feeling Callie's legs beginning to shake, Arizona backed her up against the wall using her own body as leverage to hold the taller woman up, never breaking her rhythm. Callie gasped as she felt Arizona's mouth on her breast through the silky material of her button up blouse. Arizona's thumb grazed Callie's throbbing clit lightly and the brunette couldn't hold back her moans.
"Oh God Arizona."
"You are so fucking beautiful, Calliope. I've wanted to make you cum all night." Arizona whispered against her lips before she attached her mouth to the spot on her neck that drove her crazy.
"Oh Jesus, I love it when you talk like that."
"You're so tight baby. Cum for me." Arizona said as she added a third finger on her next thrust and applied pressure to Callie's clit with her thumb.
"Fuck, oh, Ari…" Callie yelled before her body fell over the edge in a rush of ecstasy, her legs trembling and jello like.
Arizona pressed herself against Callie, one hand still buried in her panties, three fingers inside her while the other one brushed hair from her face. She placed gentle kisses along Callie's chest, jawline, and lips while she waited for her to recover. When she felt her inner walls begin to cease their spasms, Arizona pulled her fingers out, bringing them directly to her mouth and licking them clean with a moan. Callie looked up with a new desire in her eyes. She placed her lips on Arizona's and wasted no time taking control of the kiss.
"Couch." Callie said, walking Arizona backward carefully as they both still had heels on, though Arizona only had a bra and panties on with her heels. Once they reached the couch, Arizona made a move to go around to sit but Callie held her up, shaking her head. "Turn around."
Arizona placed a kiss on Callie's lips and obeyed her command, turning slowly. She felt Callie's fingers release the clasp of her bra a second before her breasts were freed only to be covered by strong hands a moments later. Callie moaned and kissed Arizona behind her ear before stepping back and ripping the lacy thong from Arizona's body. The blonde turned.
"Callie, those were new." The blonde protested but Callie placed a finger over her mouth.
"I'll buy you more. Now turn around, hands on the back of the couch, and bend over." Callie demanded. Arizona obliged, feeling slightly self-conscious with her backside completely exposed. Those thoughts left her completely a few moments later though as she felt Callie's hands roaming her hips, her mouth placing gentle kisses along her spine.
Callie trailed kisses down Arizona's spine, her hands roaming over the smooth muscle of Arizona's ass before sliding around her hips to her flat abdomen. She brought her lips up to Arizona's shoulder blades and held the blonde firmly against her. She smiled as she heard Arizona gasp at the feeling of Callie's dress pants pressing up against her exposed folds. Her lips continued their gentle caresses as she flattened her left hand over Arizona's lower abdomen and brought her right hand down between them, entering her with two fingers without warning.
"Oh fuck, Callie." Arizona said, the sensation of being taken from behind a new but not unwelcome one.
Callie continued thrusting as Arizona's cries became more desperate. She used her hips and the back of the couch as leverage to strengthen her thrusts as the blonde pushed back against her. She snaked her left hand down, pressing her fingers against Arizona's clit and thrust again, curling her fingers to hit the spongy area that she knew would send Arizona over the edge.
"Oh God, fuck, Callie." Arizona whimpered as the brunette repeated the move again and again. "Don't stop, oh God Callie don't stop."
"I wouldn't dream of it baby." Callie said, kissing the spot behind Arizona's ear as she curled her fingers once again and rubbed her fingers harder against her clit. She felt Arizona come against her in a mess of fluids and trembling limbs. "I've got you baby."
"Oh my God Callie." Arizona replied, letting her body weight lean against Callie as she waited for her heart rate to return to normal.
"Let's get you in bed. We have an early morning."
"Ok but I kind of want to do that again."
"We will babe, we will." Callie laughed as she hugged the blonde against her.
"I'm kind of sad to leave Paris."
"Me too but I'm also excited for the rest of the trip."
"Where to next?"
"Well, since you'll find out tomorrow anyway, we're headed to the French Riviera."
"The French Riviera!" Arizona exclaimed.
"Yes honey. We will be spending roughly five or six days exploring the coast of the French Riviera before we get to Italy."
"Italy!"
"Yes but our last destination is remaining a secret." Callie insisted.
"Fine, I am way too excited about the French Riviera and Italy anyway."
"You're adorable."
"And you're incredible. You do know that I don't need all of this right? You are enough. I mean, I am excited, of course but Callie we could have gone to see corn fields in Nebraska and I would have been happy as long as you were there."
"Well, I appreciate that but corn fields in Nebraska were nowhere on my radar for our honeymoon."
"This trip must have cost a fortune, Callie, I can never repay you."
"I don't want you to worry about that. It's our money now. Besides, I figure the chief isn't giving us any more long vacations after this for a while and if we plan to start a family as early as next year, this could be our last big vacation with just the two of us for a while. So let's just enjoy it, ok?"
"Ok." Arizona replied with a big dimpled smile.
"Ok."
"But I still think I should thank you." Arizona said, pulling the brunette's pants off and disappearing beneath the sheets. Callie had no will power to protest.

The train from Paris to St. Tropez took a little over eight hours and the couple enjoyed the views and just being together as the afternoon faded into early evening. They arrived at their hotel for the night ready to stretch their legs. After a light dinner, the couple walked down to the beach and let the water lap at their bare feet as they walked along the shoreline. The salty air and the warm breeze was welcome after an afternoon breathing in the stuffiness and smells of a train.
"Wow, it's really beautiful here, reminds me of Barcelona."
"Really? I don't see it." Callie replied.
"Well not the town itself but the water, the view."
"Are you happy with our honeymoon so far?"
"Callie, I told you, I would have been happy no matter where we went but my answer is yes. It has been romantic and exciting and I've loved every moment of it. So thank you for that but you know what I love more?"
"Sex?"
"Close but no. You, I love you Calliope so no matter where we go as long as you are by my side, I will be happy."
"I'm so lucky. I love you too, Arizona." Callie replied with one of the mega-watt smiles on her face that could light up a room and bring Arizona to her knees. Arizona leaned up on her tip toes and placed a gentle kiss on Callie's lips.
"Come on, let's go back to our room. I want a hot bath and even hotter sex." Arizona whispered as she grabbed Callie by the hand and led her down the beach in the direction of their hotel for the night.
"I have a better idea." Callie said, stopping and pulling Arizona's dress over her head before the blonde could protest. Callie's dress quickly followed and the Latina was racing toward the water.
Arizona giggled nervously before she shrugged and followed, laughing wholeheartedly once she reached the water and Callie picked her up, swirling her around in the water. They kissed, pressing their wet, nearly nake bodies together. Arizona reached below the surface, putting her hand inside Callie's underwear without hesitation. Callie followed suit, the two of them rubbing against each other, using their thighs as leverage to rock against. The cool water lapped at them, swaying their bodies slightly as their movements became more frantic.
"I'm going to cum, Callie." Arizona whispered, burying her head against Callie's shoulder as she felt the beginnings of her orgasm wash over her.
"I'm so close." Callie whispered. Arizona fell over the edge first, her orgasm rocking her fingers deeper into Callie and her cries of pleasure sending Callie over the edge.
Arizona was about to suggest a round two as a flashlight down the beach caught her attention. Callie grabbed her hand quickly and the two ran up the beach, grabbing their dresses as fast as they could. Hearts pounding, adrenaline pumping, they ran toward their hotel, not bothering to stop to put on their clothes until they were nearly to their hotel. They giggled as they sported their sand covered, wet dresses through the lobby and to their room where they continued their explorations of each other's bodies in the shower.

"Oh all that rich food in Paris is catching up to me. I swear, Callie, if you weren't the one with a fortune, I'd swear you were trying to get rid of me by taking me on this hiking trail." Arizona gasped as they finally reached the top of the trail head near a cliff.
"It's all downhill from here, babe. Besides, that view, totally worth it, right?" Callie replied as the couple caught their breath.
Arizona looked out at the view of the turquoise water with shades of dark blue where rocks were hidden beneath. Near the shore where the sun speckled the water, the color of the water was a lighter blue with hues of green and even specks of yellow, gorgeous indeed. Green shrubbery and tan earth tinted red by the sunlight could be seen along the shoreline as far as the eye could see without any hint of a sandy shore. Though Arizona knew there were coves of sandy beaches hidden throughout, which was where they were headed now. Arizona looked back at Callie, the taller woman covered in sweat from the exertion their hike had elicited. Her skin glowed from the sun reflecting off the thin sheen and her dark hair was piled up high on her head. Her dark eyes and lashes were hidden behind a pair of Coach sunglasses which seemed out of character for the biker shorts, oversized tank top, hiking boots, and backpack adorning the rest of her body. The sunlight caught the stone of her wedding ring and caused it to glimmer against the tanned finger where it was carefully placed.
Arizona smiled widely, "You're right, it is a beautiful view. Totally worth it."
"Come on, I want to go for a quick swim before we hike back." Callie replied, grabbing Arizona by the hand and eagerly leading her down the trail. Just when Arizona thought they must be miles away from any area that could be considered a beach and safe enough to swim at, they broke through a thick covering of pine trees onto the warm sand.
"Race ya." Callie said, already tossing her backpack to the ground as she reached for her shoes. Arizona watched as Callie pulled her tank top over her head revealing the very tiny black bikini top. "Are you just going to stand there and stare all day?"
Arizona shook her head and smiled as she sat her own bag down, "Would you blame me? My wife is hot. Like dirty hot."
"Not as hot as mine." Callie replied with an arched brow as Arizona revealed her own teal bikini top. It made her eyes take on a more turquoise color, much like the water. They shared a quick peck before Callie dropped her shorts and took off running without warning.
"Hey! That's cheating, Calliope!" Arizona called. She struggled to remove her own shorts, a cotton linen blend that were light and airy for their hike but unfortunately had a tie that was currently stuck in a knot. After fighting with it for a few seconds, Arizona finally freed the knot and dropped her pants, following Callie to the water.
"Oh my God." Arizona moaned, as the first cool wave hit her overheated body.
"I know right, it feels amazing." Callie replied with a knowing smile.
The couple floated in the rippling tide for a long while just enjoying the tranquility of the sea and the comfort of the sun and the other woman's body in close proximity. Their fingertips touched and Callie intertwined their hands as they floated on their backs, letting the waves lull them into a peaceful rest. Several minutes passed, the sun beating down on them making the water's temperature feel refreshing.
"What are you thinking about?" Arizona asked. She had been studying the brunette's face for several seconds. Her lips were curled up in a delicate smile, her eyes closed with long lashes resting on her prominent cheekbones, and her face relaxed in peace.
"For once, nothing. Except for how perfect this moment is." Callie replied. As surgeons they tended to live in the future, always trying to come up with the next medical breakthrough or in the past, trying to learn from their mistakes. She specifically had a difficult time being in the now, except with Arizona, she kept her in the present.
"It really is." Arizona replied, stealing one last glance at her wife before relaxing back to try to reach the level of peace and serenity that Callie had reached.
It was late afternoon before the couple made it back to the hotel and after cool, quick showers, Callie led them into town for dinner and to stop by Las Maison des Papillons. They stopped outside, Arizona surveying the sign on the small house-like museum, a smile slowing spreading over her lips.
"The butterfly museum? I didn't know there was such a place here."
"Me neither but after doing some research online for our trip I found this and knew we had to see it. My original plan was to go straight from Paris to Cannes but then after seeing the reviews for the snorkeling and this museum, I decided we had to make this our first stop along the Riviera."
"I didn't think you would ever willingly go, let alone plan a trip, to a butterfly museum."
"Well I know how much you love butterflies and they remind me of you so needless to say, they've grown on me."
The couple entered the museum hand in hand. Callie sucked in a breath and had to bite her tongue to retain from grimacing at the pepto-bismol pink walls. Aside from that and the terrifying carved faces in the courtyard, the small museum was incredible. Callie smiled as she watched Arizona squeal in excitement over the display cases of various butterfly species. They both marveled at the old photographs and the paintings on display. Upon leaving the museum, the couple stopped at a little french bistro for dinner before returning to their hotel room.
"I seem to remember you saying something about snorkeling." Arizona said as she slipped out of her clothing and climbed into bed beside Callie in nothing but her white cotton panties.
"You heard that, huh?" Callie asked.
"Mmm, does that mean snorkeling is on our agenda for tomorrow?"
"Yep. We will spend the morning and early afternoon snorkeling and then we are going to board the yacht I rented to head to Cannes. We will return the yacht in Monaco so I hope you don't mind sleeping on a boat for the next few nights."
"Mmm not at all if you're going to be there."
"Well, we will also have a guide, a cook, and a captain on board. They came with the rental but no worries the staff has their own sleeping quarters. The guide and cook are husband and wife and the captain is a friend of my dad's, they were all very highly recommended."
"I can't believe you rented us a private yacht."
"Are you disappointed?"
"No not at all, I love the idea, I'm just surprised. I never would have thought of doing that."
"That was the point." Callie replied with a smile as she turned and faced Arizona, running a finger down her nose before curling her index finger to suggest Arizona come in closer for a kiss. The blonde obliged immediately and a quick couple of pecks on the lips turned into a heated battle for dominance.
Callie's palm found Arizona's bare breast and began massaging circles as her fingers carefully gripped onto the soft tissue. Arizona inhaled deeply, ending their kiss only for her to find Callie's pulse point. Callie felt the blonde push her shoulder at the same time her full weight hit the brunette's hips, successfully tipping Callie onto her back with the blonde on top of her.
"I want to ride your finger." Arizona whispered as she bit down onto Callie's neck and then licked it softly. She reached her hand up and covered her smaller hand over Callie's, removing it from her breast and pushing it into her underwear.
"Yes ma'am." Callie replied. She liked it when Arizona took control, it caused a different kind of arousal to come over her. Callie wasted no time plunging two fingers into the depths of Arizona's core.
"Fuck, yes, Callie." Arizona replied, grinding down against Callie's hand. She placed both hands on either side of Callie's head as she set the pace moving back and forth with Callie plunging her fingers in and out of her.
Arizona bent over and pulled a hardened nipple between her teeth biting down gently before sucking it into her mouth completely. Her pace quickened as she heard Callie gasp in contentment over Arizona's ministrations. The blonde concentrated on Callie's beautiful breasts as the pleasure in her center began to build. She was curious to see if she could make the Latina orgasm this way. She knew it was possible but had never known anyone to be able to cum with only nipple stimulation. Callie had come close though on several occasions, her breasts seemingly more sensitive than the blondes.
"Fuck Arizona, that feels good baby." Callie moaned as the blonde used her hand to tease the other breast between her finger tips. When her mouth was gentle on one breast, her fingers were harsh on the other before she would switch, soothing one with her mouth while inflicting the tiniest bit of pain on the other with her fingers. Her efforts on Callie's breasts seemed to give the brunette more determination as she redoubled her efforts on Arizona's center, flicking her thumb over a needy clit to rub circles as her fingers plunged in deeper, curling over the spongy area.
Arizona released the nipple from her mouth as she gasped at the redoubled effort. Her orgasm was building faster and more intensely, she felt her legs begin to shake and the warm pressure in her lower abdomen building. She used both hands to fondle Callie's glorious breasts as she continued riding the long fingers buried deep within her. She felt the Latina begin to tremble beneath her as she curled her fingers inside the blonde once again causing Arizona to fall over the edge, her hands squeezing Callie's breasts.
"Oh God, fuck Callie." Arizona screamed, wetness flooding from her core into Callie's hand causing the Latina to orgasm behind her.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, Arizona." Callie moaned, convulsing beneath the blonde. Arizona collapsed on top of Callie, a smile spreading on her face.
"I just made you cum by only touching your breasts."
"Well that and the fact that you were cumming on top of me while screaming my name pretty loudly, I might add, that definitely helped. But wow, I never expected an orgasm from my nipples to feel so good."
"Well if that felt good, wait until you see what my mouth can do on your clit." Arizona replied, sliding down Callie's body. She made quick work of the woman's underwear, tossing them over her head and not caring where they landed.
Callie sighed as Arizona's breath connected with her sensitive area a split second before her mouth and lips wrapped around the needy bundle of nerves. Arizona savored the scent and flavor that only her wife could provide as she set to work pleasing her wife. It took less than a minute for fingers to wrap in blonde hair. Less than two for legs to start shaking and abdominal muscles to start quivering. Within three minutes Callie was arching off the bed, fluid flooding into Arizona's mouth as Callie reached her high, her thighs tightening around Arizona's head and a string of Spanish cursing leaving her perfect mouth.
"God you are so gorgeous." Arizona said with a smile. Her head was resting on Callie's thigh, her fingers drawing lazy circles on the brunette's lower abdomen as she watched the woman come down from her high.
"And you're amazing." Callie replied, peeking one eye open to look at the woman who had just given her two fantastic orgasms in record time.
"I am pretty awesome." Arizona replied with a dimpled smile on full display as she kissed her way back up Callie's body.
"I love you dork."
"Love you too."

"Oh my God, Callie, did you see all the starfish?" Arizona asked as the couple sat on the ledge of the boat to take a breather from their snorkeling adventure.
"I did. Are you feeling better about all of this?" Callie asked, pleased to see the excitement on her wife's face. At first the blonde had been nervous and reluctant to swim too far from either the boat or shoreline. They were snorkeling in shallow, crystal blue waters that were well known to tourists and guides for snorkeling. What had started out as hesitant and cautious, now two hours in, had turned into an exciting adventure for the blonde and Callie loved every moment of it.
"I did and the seahorse, they were so cute."
"I didn't expect to see red starfish. Thank you, this has been so awesome."
"I'm glad, we can do this again if you want."
"I do. But we can still snorkel some more today, right?"
"If you want to. But first some lunch and some sunscreen for your nose." Callie replied, helping the blond up. She was happy she had bought them long sleeve swimwear to put over their bikinis otherwise the sun reflecting off the water would surely have burned the fair skin of Arizona's back and shoulders as they snorkeled along the surface.
"This yacht is amazing, Callie." Arizona said as the couple sat down in the kitchen while their cook, Philip brough them their cucumber croissant sandwiches and fresh fruit.
"So is Philip, I could get used to this." Callie replied, moaning as she took a bite of her croissant. Neither she nor Arizona were generally fond of sandwiches but Philip had made the croissants fresh and they were cooked to perfection. The cucumber salad was refreshing and crunchy, it was a nice contrast to the freshly cooked dough.
"This is pretty good. And Celia is a fantastic guide. She made me feel much more comfortable with snorkeling. I'm sure you know I was nervous but I seriously almost chickened out. Now I can't wait to get back into the water."
"Philip and Celia came highly recommended." Callie replied with a smile, happy with her choice. Sometimes it paid to have parents with friends that vacationed in these areas frequently.
The yacht they were renting actually belonged to her dad's business partner and his "friend" Mae was their captain for the rental. He had also recommended Philip and Celia to join them. Philip had graduated from Le Cordon Bleu and although he owned his own restaurant, in the summer season he took contracts with private vendors to cook for their families. He mainly did this to be with his wife who was a marine biology major and a native to the South of France. She paid for school by being a guide for tourists and their families. So the couple worked the summers together while Philip's brother ran the restaurant for the three months they were gone.
"Do you think they would come home with us? Philip can cook for us forever and I'm sure Celia would find the west coast U.S. marine life just as fascinating." Arizona replied, taking another bite of her croissant sandwich with a hum of satisfaction.
"Are you hinting that you don't like my cooking?" Callie asked with an arched eyebrow. She watched in amusement as blue eyes widened, the blonde wiping her mouth with her napkin and trying to swallow quickly as she shook her head adamantly.
"No, no babe, not at all. Your chicken piccata is to die for. I honestly don't think you've ever made anything I haven't liked. But if you didn't have to cook, we would have more time for other activities."
"Mmmhmm."
"I mean it, Callie. Aside from being a surgeon, you could make a career out of cooking or being a masseuse or a broadway star. You are very talented at many, many things Calliope."
"Now you're just sucking up." Callie said but the flush of her cheeks and the small smile that she couldn't stop showed her appreciation of Arizona's genuine statement.
"Maybe but it's the truth. If I wasn't a surgeon what kind of career do you think I'd have?"
"I could see you as a teacher. Not middle school or high school though because all the pervy sex crazed hormonal pubescent teenage boys would be crushing on you and I'd have to fight them off with bricks which may be frowned upon. But I could totally see you teaching little elementary school kids. You're so good with kids it's hard to imagine you not working with them, to be honest. You're also a fantastic writer, you could probably make a living off of writing."
"You think so?" Arizona asked. She did like to write but had never thought of herself as a writer.
"I do." Callie said, placing a kiss on Arizona's cheek. "You ready to go back in the water?"
"We have to wait thirty minutes."
"Why?"
"Didn't your mom ever tell you that?"
"Umm no. Why would we have to wait thirty minutes?" Callie asked, unsure if Arizona was serious or not.
"I'm not sure why come to think of it. My mom used to say we would get stomach cramps but now as an adult I realize how ridiculous that sounds. I think she made that up to get a break and trick us into naps." Arizona replied, cocking her head to the side as if this minor white lie just occurred to her twenty five years later. Callie laughed out loud at the look on Arizona's face, she could literally see the light bulb go off over her head.
"You're so cute." Callie replied, tugging Arizona back through the doors that led to the back deck of the yacht.
"I'm going to have to talk to my mom about all these lies she told us as kids. I'm sure there's more. We won't be those kinds of parents, will we?"
"I guess that depends. I can totally see us telling our kids similar harmless lies."
"What?" Arizona asked, looking appalled.
"Well aside from the usual Santa, the Easter bunny, magic, fairy tales...I can see us telling them to go to bed early to avoid one consequence or another in order for us to have some sexy time."
"Mmm, I see your point. But we will be cooler moms because I have shoes with skates in them and you break bones for a living," Arizona replied before she jumped off the boat and started swimming back toward their snorkeling spot. Callie shook her head and smiled, she was very much looking forward to those days but for now, she was more than happy with where they were at.

"It really is beautiful here." Arizona said that evening as she and Callie cuddled together on the boat enjoying the scenery as they made their way from St. Tropez to Cannes.
They enjoyed a light dinner on deck as they watched the sun go down. Though Philip had been busy in the kitchen and Mae had been navigating the boat to Cannes, it seemed as if the couple was alone on the yacht. It was big enough to be able to spread out but Arizona wondered if Callie had specifically requested this or if it was a habit from working with people who wished to not be disturbed. Arizona liked all three of them very much and wouldn't have minded if they had wanted to join them. As the waves began to rock the boat gently and Callie pulled a blanket around them, she was glad for the privacy and quiet time though.
"What is planned in Cannes?" Arizona asked, fighting off a yawn. The day full of swimming and sun had worn her out, she doubted very much she would make it more than five minutes once she climbed into bed.
"There's a few things we could do. I will leave it up to you. We can roam around the city and do some shopping if you want. There are museums and gardens we could visit. Or we could check out one of the islands off the coast. We could see what Celia thinks." Callie said.
The brunette waited a moment for the blonde to respond in vain. She looked down and smiled, Arizona was sound asleep, her head resting against Callie's shoulder with her back against Callie's chest. Callie tightened her grip around Arizona, giving her a gentle squeeze. She looked out on the water to the city lights of Cannes, they were docked in the yacht marina for the night. She let Arizona rest for a few minutes, enjoying the gentle breeze and the sounds of laughter and music in the distance before she decided it was time for them to get to bed.
"Wake up baby, I can't carry you to bed." Callie said, nudging the blonde awake.
"K." Arizona responded, standing as if on autopilot and then almost immediately falling into Callie's lap as the boat rocked gently.
"Careful, we're on a boat, remember?"
"Yea." Arizona replied, her eyes now wide open as she stood up, pulling Callie with her and led them to their master bedroom at the front of the boat.
Callie locked both the glass door leading from the kitchen to the back deck and their bedroom door. While sleeping on the boat was private and convenient, she hadn't considered the fact that people might be able to walk out onto the dock and board the boat uninvited. Now as she watched her wife undress and climb into bed, she couldn't stop thinking that it was a possibility. The knowledge that somewhere on the boat were also Mae, Philip, and Celia offered her a bit of comfort though and Callie climbed into bed pulling an already sleeping Arizona into her arms.
At Celia's recommendation, the couple took the ferry to Saint-Marguerite Island where they explored some of the island's beaches and coves, insisting that the others join them. Celia also took them, along with Mae and Philip, to see the Man in the Iron Mask as well as a museum housing some shipwrecks that Callie found fascinating. They walked around the island, separating a bit as each of them found amusement in their own discoveries. Callie found Arizona standing off to the side, lost in thought as she was taking in the view of the Bay of Cannes.
"You ok?" Callie asked.
"Yea, it just feels like we're in another world, doesn't it?"
"It really does."
"Do you miss home?" Arizona asked suddenly.
"I miss work and I miss our family and friends." Callie replied. In truth, she hadn't thought much about "home" since they had left for their honeymoon. Arizona nodded her head, squinting as she continued to look out over the water. "Do you?"
"A little, yea. I lived in Baltimore for a few years, longer than I've lived anywhere but Seattle is the only place I've truly felt at home. I spent so much time traveling as a child that I just longed for the daily life that "normal" people got. And here I am with you in this beautiful place and I miss Seattle." Arizona said, struggling to meet Callie's eyes.
"Do you want to cut the trip short and head back to the US? We could just have a staycation for the rest of our time off?" Callie asked. She would be a bit disappointed if Arizona said yes but she would be ok with it if it made the blonde happy.
"No, of course not. I love being here with you and exploring new places, finding new adventures. Today is the first day I've felt this way. I'm just feeling a little off is all." Arizona replied, pulling Callie against her tightly. "I'm sorry I fell asleep on you last night."
"I was right behind you. The sun and water was fun but when the sun went down the exhaustion hit me. I slept like a rock."
"Mmm, me too. I'll make it up to you tonight though."
"We have a bit of wiggle room in our itinerary. I did that on purpose in case there was anything you wanted to do or see that I hadn't accounted for. Is there anything else in Cannes you would like to do before we move on to Nice? If not we can leave tonight."
"Is it ok with you if we head on to Nice? I'm enjoying just being on the water. But if you want to go shopping or to any of the museums or restaurants here I am totally game."
"No, I agree, I am really enjoying some time on the water, just the two of us. Well five of us but they are very good at giving us privacy. Would you care if they joined us for dinner tonight?"
"No of course not. I thought maybe you had asked them to keep their distance for us."
"I didn't but I gladly would if you wanted that."
"As long as we have privacy in the bedroom, I am happy. I actually really enjoy them and would like to get to know them better."
Philip, Celia, Mae, Arizona, and Callie stepped off the yacht in Cannes that evening. The couple had decided to treat the other three to dinner rather than having Philip cook for them to show their appreciation. They had also decided to leave in the morning for Nice so that Mae could enjoy a quiet evening with them instead of having to navigate waters in the dark. They let Philip choose the restaurant as he was familiar with the area and the cuisine expert.
Phillip chose a restaurant a short walk from the docks that he swore had the best seafood in the area. Both being seafood fans, Arizona and Callie were both more than agreeable as their stomachs rumbled, having skipped lunch due to a late and large breakfast. The five of them chatted, Arizona was able to carry on a small conversation in French with Celia while Mae, Callie, Phillip talked about different dishes they wanted to try from all different countries.
"What is that?" Arizona asked as she watched the waiter place Callie's plate in front of her.
"Grilled octopus salad with champagne vinaigrette and seafood bouillabaisse." Philip replied as the same dish was placed in front of him.
"Want to try it babe?" Callie asked.
"Umm, no, no thanks, honey, that's all you." Arizona replied as her grilled shrimp and pineapple skewers with mushroom risotto was placed in front of her. She smiled at Callie and Phillip as they raved over their food though.
"Not adventurous in the food department?" Mae asked as she took a bite of her own seared tuna.
"No usually I am but I'm just feeling a little off and I've never had an inkling to try octopus." Arizona replied with a smile at Callie.
After dinner the group retired to the boat, they sat and had a few drinks together as they watched the sunset. Mae turned in first, leaving the two couples dancing on the deck as Celia tried to show Philip, Callie, and Arizona the latest dance she had learned at her university. Callie picked up right away but Arizona and Philip spent more time giggling than dancing. By the time they turned in for the evening, Arizona's face hurt from laughing and smiling.
"Still homesick?" Callie asked as she climbed into the giant jet tub behind Arizona.
"I am home." Arizona replied, snuggling against Callie's chest.
"Good answer but I'm serious. Are you feeling better?"
"I am. I was just having an off day. I really loved dinner and the whole day really. I meant what I said, I am very happy to explore all of these places with you. I'm so happy we get to start out the adventure of married life this way. But how lucky am I to have found a place to miss? I love our home and the life we have built together."
"Sometimes the things you say, Arizona...You're right, we are lucky." Callie said, kissing the blonde's temple and wrapping her arms a little tighter around her.
Arizona turned around in the giant tub and retreated to the other side, motioning for Callie to join her. The brunette complied, straddling Arizona's lap as the blonde guided her to. Callie leaned down, her tongue slipping into Arizona's mouth and the blonde gladly accepting. They shared a passionate kiss, hot breath hitting the side of Callie's face as the blonde tried to get enough air through her nose so as not to break the kiss. Once the kiss was broken, Arizona brought her lips to Callie's shoulder, outlining the prominence of the brunette's collarbone with her tongue. She reached Callie's sternum, stopping at the valley between her breasts to taste the skin there. Her finger rubbed gently over Callie's ribs but not so softly that it would tickle her. She let her fingertips feel the vertebrae along Callie's spine until she reached the top of her crack. She brought her hands to either side of Callie's ass and pulled her down against her fully.
"Mmm, that feels so good." Callie said as her core rubbed against Arizona's lower abdomen.
Arizona turned her attention to Callie's breasts while her hands remained firmly on her ample cheeks. She took her time with each nipple, giving them both soft and equal attention, enough to know that Callie was thoroughly turned on by then. Arizona considered suggesting they take it to the bed but she loved the closeness this position offered. Instead, she let a hand wander over the curve of Callie's hip and up her thigh. She smiled as Callie parted her legs for her automatically. Arizona rubbed her fingers through the slick folds she found, bringing them to rest gently over Callie's clit where she began rubbing small, slow circles against it with one finger. Her left hand snaked around Callie's back, holding the brunette tightly against her.
"God Arizona, that feels so good." Callie whimpered, her head dropping to Arizona's shoulder as she bit down lightly.
The light touch was something Callie hadn't experienced in a while and it wasn't enough and completely too much all at once. In this position she was unable to rock against Arizona's hand to seek out more friction the way she wanted to. Arizona continued her slow circles, in no rush to make Callie fall apart. She wanted to relish the moment as she kissed along Callie's jawline, nibbled at her ear lobe, licked the salt on her neck, never feeling like she could get enough of this woman.
Arizona felt Callie's body began to tremble so she picked up her pace, applying slightly more pressure as she did. Callie arched her back, her head falling back with tendrils of hair falling from the loose bun she had put it in. Arizona watched in awe as the brunette came undone, her body arching, fingers digging into Arizona's flesh, her tongue peeking out before she convulsed one final time and went limp against Arizona, her forehead resting against Arizona's.
The blonde withdrew her fingers, bringing her hands up to cup Callie's face and bring her in for a gentle kiss. She swiped hair from her sweaty forehead and placed loving kisses against her chest while Callie regained her composure. Once she finally had control of her faculties again, Callie looked at her and smiled widely.
"Have you noticed how much better sex is now that we're married. I mean not that it wasn't fantastic before but it feels different now." Callie said, bringing her fingers up to intertwine with Arizona's.
"I know what you mean." Arizona replied, a smile on her face as she hugged Callie against her.
"Why don't you let me go and I will return the favor."
"In a little bit, I just want to hold you like this for a little longer."
"Ok." Callie replied with a smile as Arizona laid her head against her chest and squeezed her tightly. Callie realized in that moment that she never felt more loved or cared for. She had felt that way with Arizona several times before if not hundreds but it always hit her like a ton of bricks all over again when that feeling would wash over her.
"Your heart just skipped a beat, literally." Arizona said softly as she looked up at Callie.
"It's ok, I was just thinking about how cared for and loved I feel by you." Callie replied, trying to wipe away the slight worry she could see on Arizona's face.
"That's really sweet but we are both drinking some water before bed just in case. There is no way you are leaving me a widow with a bank full of money. I'm dying first, you hear me?"
"We can die the same day, how about that?" Callie asked with a smile.
"I suppose I could live with that."
"Ok but neither of us are dying until we're old and gray and have great grandkids, ok?"
"I can live with that too." Arizona replied, pecking Callie on the lips as a smile formed on her own face.
"Good cuz you're stuck with me, Robbins."
"Torres."
"What?" Callie asked, confused momentarily.
"Torres, it's Torres now."
"Oh, yea." Callie replied, her smile now as big as Arizona had ever seen it.
"Well Robbins-Torres but only for work purposes." Arizona added with a teasing smile.
"Come on, let's get some water and get in bed. I have some unfinished business with you Torres." Callie said.
"Yes ma'am." Arizona replied, following Callie from the tub.
