Previously on Giving Into Temptation..
Arizona wiped Callie's tears and began placing small kisses on her face.
''Talk to me,'' Arizona whispered between kisses.
She pulled Callie close and held her, waiting patiently for her to open up. It had been years since she had been this open with anyone, not even with Eliza did she have this kind of vulnerablity. Being with Callie felt healing, it felt right.
Arizona held Callie for what felt like a hours, lost in each other's warmth. Arizona felt Callie's breath deepen, thinking she had fallen asleep she held the brunette even tighter, running her fingers through her hair.
"You make me feel safe," Callie said quietly, pulling Arizona from her thoughts.
It only made Arizona want to pull her closer. She wanted Callie to always feel safe when she was with her, Arizona hadn't felt happiness like this in a long time.
"You are so special to me Calliope. All I want to do is make you feel safe and special."
Callie nuzzled into Arizona's chest.
There was a moment of silence, Arizona could sense Callie's nerves. She slid her hand down and intertwined their fingers together.
"My previous relationship, it's been.. wow, it's been over 3 years now. George and I were together for 2 years before he got into a car accident. When I got the call that he had died, it felt like my whole world had stopped, in that moment I lost such a huge part of myself, I haven't been the same since."
Arizona continued to stoke Callie's hair with one hand and held her hand tight with the other, giving it a little squeeze.
"I am so sorry you had to go through that Calliope."
Callie squeezed her hand back letting her know that she was okay.
"I was in a state of disbelief for a long time. You never expect to lose the person you love when you're so young, you never imagine you yourself will get that call."
Callie started to feel overwhelmed, it was the first time she had really spoken about her loss with someone who hadn't been there at the time.
"It's okay baby, if you need to stop we can."
Callie smiled at the word of endearment. It was the first time she had heard Arizona use a pet name for her, she liked it."
"I want to tell you, I feel safe to tell you. I need to."
Callie lifted herself to look Arizona in the eyes and kissed her softly, gently nuzzled her nose and then pulled away a little so they were both sitting upright, both hands now intertwined.
"When he passed I didn't know what to do with myself. I lost my bestfriend, my confidant. I distanced myself from everyone that I loved, I didn't want to be the person who everyone felt sorry for, I didn't want my presence to make anyone feel uncomfortable because they didn't know how to act around me. After a while of being alone the only person who I let reach out to me was Erica, George's sister. She was then to comfort me and not to beat around the bush, I realised I loved girls because of her. After that the confusion of sexuality on top of the loss was too much, I had to get out.. so I got a new apartment and barely spoke to anyone for a year. It helped me grow, I needed to be alone as I had always relied heavily on others and it took being alone to realise that."
Callie's eyes hadn't left Arizona's since she started talking. She was desperately searching in them trying to figure out how Arizona felt, she hoped she hadn't shared too much. Arizona gave her a reassuring smile once Callie had finished speaking.
"I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that to find yourself. I couldn't imagine losing the person I loved, dealing with such a heartbreaking loss much have been terrible and to do that all by yourself, I am in awe of your strength. To then realise you had these feelings for Erica must have been so confusing, I imagine you probably felt guilty because of everything that had happened, the fact that you go through of that and you've come out the other side as such a strong, confident person is incredible. You are amazing Calliope."
At these words Callie broke down into tears, Arizona pulled her in close and held her tight.
"Let me be here for you, please don't be worried that you have shared too much and get scared. I feel honoured that you have trusted me enough to share such a big part of yourself and it only makes our relationship stronger."
Callie looked up at Arizona with teary eyes, a small smile on her lips. Arizona's words meant so much. She leant in and placed a kiss on her lips, pulling her close, their bodies flush against one another. Callie slid her tongue along Arizona's bottom lip, deepening their kiss as she ran her hands under Arizona's top, desperate to feel her skin.
"Thank you for making me feel safe and special," Callie says between kisses.
"You're amazing," Arizona responds, their kiss becoming even more passionate.
Callie lays back on the sofa, pulling Arizona with her so she's now laying on top. Without hesitation Callie slides both hands down the blondes back and squeezes her bare ass hard, emitting a squeal from her lips. They continue to kiss, Arizona dipping her tongue into Callie's mouth with she sucks tightly between her lips. Callie slides a hand between their bodies and is greeted with Arizona's hot, wet centre. Callie slides a finger through her wet lips, circling her clit and repeating several times. Arizona's body is now grinding against Callie's hand, desperate for more.
"Callie.. please...fuck me!"
