Chapter 17: Show me you haven't forgotten

"You...err...look like you're getting ready for bed, I umm I should probably leave you to it...," Callie replied in a tone that she hoped did not give away what she was really thinking as she looked at the semi-naked the way here she had gone through the things she wanted to say to Arizona in her head, but once again the blonde's presence was turning her brain into mush. The attraction, the tension between them prevented her from thinking straight.

"No, I..umm...I just changed, but I'm not tired," Arizona responded quickly, in the hope of convincing the FBI agent to stay. Callie was not the only one suffering from being thoroughly distracted by the other's presence. Arizona also struggled with getting her thoughts in order enough to form proper sentences. "I was actually about to pour myself a drink, would you like to join me?" she asked hopefully.

"A drink would be good," Callie said with a soft smile. She stepped into Arizona's apartment and followed the blonde as she walked towards the kitchen.

"Red OK?" Arizona asked as she looked over her shoulder. She knew Callie liked red wine, but she wanted to check. She looked at Callie and held up a bottle of red wine.

"Perfect," Callie responded absentmindedly. The truth was she would have accepted anything at that point, anything to calm her nerves.

Arizona handed the brunette her glass and they stood there for a moment, just staring at each other.

"Well cheers," Arizona eventually said, breaking the silence as she raised her glass in Callie's direction before taking a sip of her wine. She hoped the wine would take off the edge and ease some of the tension in the room. She had chickened out earlier and right now was her chance to speak up. Somehow it seemed even harder now than it was earlier at the bar.

Callie followed suit but took more than one sip of the red wine. She was looking for some more dutch courage before starting a conversation that she was not entirely sure she was ready to have. She closed her eyes and mentally chastised herself for not being more forward with Arizona. With any other woman, she had no problem voicing what she wanted and needed. It probably was because she actually cared for the blonde, but still, she always knew how to voice her thoughts.

"Why did you come to the bar?" Callie's voice cracked a little from pure nerves, as she felt her heart rate increase from the intensity of the moment. It was not perfect, but it was a start. She hoped that once the ball started rolling, the conversation would get easier.

"Oh, I...umm...didn't think you saw me," Arizona admitted. She felt her cheeks blush slightly as she pictured the scene of Callie dancing with the redhead.

"I didn't," Callie responded. "Mark told me," Callie held the blonde's gaze. She knew she had the CIA agent up against the ropes here and she wasn't going to let her out without finding out what the blonde had wanted to discuss.

"It...err, it was nothing and you, well... you looked...busy, and so I didn't want to disturb," Arizona stumbled through a response, but the look Callie was giving her made it clear that she was not going to accept that for an answer.

"What did you want to talk to me about, Arizona?" Callie asked in a deep voice as she watched the blush slowly rise up the blonde's bare neck. She needed Arizona to meet her halfway here.

Arizona's blue eyes just gazed at Callie's deep brown eyes and she found herself drowning. Her head was screaming at her to lie, to make something up. She's not interested in you. Don't make a fool of yourself. Arizona pictured the brunette up close with the redhead. She searched Callie's face for clues as to what the brunette was thinking, but Callie was giving nothing away. Whilst her head was trying to save her from humiliating herself, her heart was yelling back just as loudly that this was her chance. This is it Arizona, don't mess it up! She is here because she feels something too. She left that redhead behind in the bar, she's here with you now.

Don't fuck it up she said to herself while she took a large gulp of wine. She gazed at Callie for a moment, letting the warm look in those dark eyes calm her down a little. She took a deep breath before taking the leap of faith. Her head was telling her to lie, but her heart was telling her to finally speak her truth. "I came to tell you..," Arizona said slowly as she maintained eye contact with the brunette, "..that I care about you, Calliope..."

Callie felt a lump form in her throat at Arizona's words and the mention of her full name. She found herself pretty much hanging on Arizona's lips. Wanting, needing to hear Arizona say the words she was expecting to come.

The way Callie was looking at her, gave Arizona the courage to continue. "...and I know we've talked a lot about what happened all those years ago, the things that happened between us in the past. But...these feelings I have,...fuck Callie…..well, they are not in the past," Arizona paused and watched the brunette take in what she had just said.

"Callie...say something...plea.." Arizona did not get a chance to finish the word.

Suddenly, Callie closed the distance between them and before she herself even realised what she was doing, her lips were on Arizona's. It was a soft, tentative kiss, and despite everything they had gone through and their current situation, it still felt like the most normal thing ever. When Callie's mind caught on to what she was doing, she slowly pulled her lips away from Arizona's and took a step back. The taller woman's lips were still slightly parted and she gazed deep into Arizona's eyes. The air between them felt like an electric fog and Callie's whole body seemed to be standing to attention.

The blonde did not let her go far though. Arizona's strong hand reached around her neck and pulled her in close, crashing their lips together once more. This kiss was far from tentative and Callie moaned softly as Arizona swiped her tongue over Callie's bottom lip. This gave the blonde the upper hand and she thrust her tongue into Callie's mouth, seeking out the brunette's tongue to fight for dominance. Callie let Arizona lead the kiss, but, without breaking the kiss, she took a few steps forward, forcing the blonde backward until her back connected with the door. Her hands coming down to rest on Arizona's hips.

Callie could not fight this desire anymore and neither did she want to. She had wanted Arizona so badly, but, before tonight, she did not know if the blonde felt the same way. They had a history together, and hearing Arizona say that she still had feelings for her, had been all it had taken. As if Arizona had removed a key brick in her protective layer, her wall had come crashing down.

Callie knew Arizona had meant it when she had said she had never stopped caring about her. And even if she had not known, she felt it in the fire Arizona was kissing her with right now. Callie pulled back to catch her breath and felt another wave of fear start to grip hold of her as she held Arizona's gaze, panting slightly while trying to regain her composure.

As if reading the brunette's mind, Arizona's strong hand reached around her neck again, and pulled her back in close, crashing their lips together. Their kisses were fast and frantic, their tongues exploring each other's mouths, familiarising themselves with each other after all these years. Arizona's hands were running through Callie's hair as she pulled the Latina into her kisses. They were both completely lost in the moment, unable to control the want and lust they both felt for each other. Callie felt a gush of excitement as she heard a small groan escape from Arizona's lips while she playfully bit Arizona's bottom lip.

This kiss had been seven years in the making and it was causing some serious explosions within both women.

Callie's heart was beating so fast while she responded to Arizona's kisses. The sensation of her lips hungrily touching hers, the sensation of her hands running through her hair. God, it felt as good as she remembered.

"Fuck," Callie murmured when Arizona latched on to a spot below her ear that drove Callie crazy. The sheer desire coursing through her veins seemed to make her more alert. She grabbed Arizona's face with both hands and crashed her lips against the blonde's again.

Her hands trailed down Arizona's sides, over the soft silk material of her dressing gown before slowly going back up causing Arizona to let out a small moan. It gave Callie the confidence she needed to continue. This woman right here, this woman had been the only one that had made her feel insecure. The way she had felt about Arizona, the way she apparently still felt about Arizona….it was so intense that it made her feel so vulnerable.

Their kiss turned sloppy and heated, lips crashing together, hands touching, fingers teasing. Soft gasps and moans filled the air and Callie was not even sure if they were hers or Arizona's. Not that she really cared. All she could think of right now was how good it felt to have Arizona's lips against hers again. Arizona's hands on her body felt like electricity shooting through her and she could not remember the last time she had felt this turned on. She did not even care that she was putty in Arizona's hands, she did not even care that she was not fully in control. Because it felt so good.

Arizona's cheeks were flushed and she was panting while she took a moment to catch her breath. Her hands were still on Callie's body, inching up under the dark-haired woman's top. She bit her lip, gaging Callie's reaction while her hands moved up towards the full breasts she had barely managed to keep her eyes off of for the past weeks.

She leaned in again, her lips connecting with Callie's once more as her right hand moved up to cup one luscious breast. Arizona did not give the other woman a chance to react and snaked behind Callie's back, raking her fingernails over the smooth skin there before pulling the taller woman closer. She needed to feel Callie. She needed her closer. When Arizona's fingers started inching into Callie's bra, the FBI agent stopped.

Arizona stopped what she was doing and closed her eyes. Shit! The spell was broken and fear started racing through her at the thought that Callie had realised this was a mistake. The brunette had stopped because she was regretting it. She opened her eyes again and looked at Callie as she leaned back against the door in disappointment.

Callie saw the look of hurt flash through Arizona's hooded gaze and swallowed hard. She did not want Arizona to get the wrong idea. "No...Arizona….," she sighed softly and dug her fingers into the blonde's hips, pulling the smaller woman flush against her. "It's…not that I don't want this...I do...God, I really fucking do," her voice was cracking with all the emotions she felt right now.

Arizona flashed Callie a questioning look, her walls almost visibly building back up again as she was preparing herself for being turned down. She could feel it. "Then why did you stop?" she asked, her voice giving away how affected she was by their hot, hot kiss.

"I need to know that you want this. Really want this," the brunette asked seriously. The last thing she wanted was for Arizona to let go tonight and regret it in the morning. Callie was sure she could not deal with that kind of rejection. And Callie Torres was no one's rebound girl. She was simply too good for that.

Arizona bit her lip and stared deep into Callie's eyes. Her body was spinning out of control and she needed the other woman to see how she felt. She knew her words could not really convey how she felt. It was too much all of a sudden and her mind was so fogged to think up anything substantial.

"Callie," she whispered as the blonde-haired woman gently rubbed her thumb over her cheek. "You have to believe me when I say I have never wanted anything more in my entire life," she whispered before closing the distance between them once again. She gently pressed her lips against Callie's.

The fact that Callie reciprocated the kiss and did not move away, gave Arizona the confidence she needed to continue. "And so do you...," she added before planting another kiss on those beautiful lips."You came here for a reason..," her hands landed on Callie's hips and she pulled her closer. "...you came here for this," another kiss, this time on the corner of Callie's mouth. "...you came here because you want this as much as I do," another kiss, this time Arizona snuck out her tongue and teased the other woman's bottom lip with it.

A soft groan left Callie's throat and Arizona knew her resolve was crumbling. She ran her tongue up Callie's neck before whispering in her ear. "You got me all hot and bothered," Arizona continued, while she pushed back against the Latina, her hips grinding against Callie's. The FBI agent seemed to be completely enthralled by now and was following her guidance, Arizona had her exactly where she wanted her. She had successfully seduced Callie before and she more and more started to feel like she could easily do it again. The way Callie was reacting to her, made Arizona feel sexy and it fueled her even more. "Now…" she leaned in close to Callie's mouth and playfully nibbled the brunette's plump bottom lip. She paused for a short moment, letting the tension build a little more before giving her one last order, "I need you to finish it…"

Arizona was well aware that Callie was completely under her spell and it turned her on to no end. She made a trail of open-mouthed kisses towards Callie's ear, where she paused to whisper in the taller woman's ear. "I need you to fuck me, Calliope," Arizona whispered, the words almost getting caught in the blonde's throat as she struggled to control the emotions that were flooding through her body right then. She knew full well she had just delivered the final blow and she had blasted the both of them way past the point of no return.

Arizona took a sharp intake of breath as her body made contact with the hard surface behind her. Callie did not give the smaller woman any time to recover before pressing her body up close to Arizona's and slipping her leg in between the blonde's. Arizona let out a small gasp as she felt Callie's firm thigh push its way into the gap between her legs. The kiss had been amazing, but feeling Callie's body pressed up against her was too much and she couldn't stop the ache between her legs at the contact, or the trickle of excitement that escaped from her in response to being so close to the brunette after all these years.

Callie's lips curled into a smug smirk as she felt Arizona start to rub herself against her firm thigh, generating friction at the place she clearly needed it the most. As the brunette watched the blonde grind against her thigh, she felt her own hips thrust forward until they met in the middle. Arizona's eyes widened as hands gripped her hips and repeated the move, again and again, generating soft groans from both women as they started to move in unison.

Callie pushed her lips onto Arizona's, whilst they continued to grind. Fuck, she was getting really turned on and as she felt Arizona's arm slip around her neck and pull her even closer, she knew she needed more. Their kisses intensified again as Callie pushed her tongue inside the CIA officer's parted mouth, Arizona's hands made their way down Callie's back, her fingers trailing over the material of the other woman's top, generating shivers from the brunette. The blonde had imagined this moment so many times over the years, sometimes at completely inappropriate times, but now it was really happening! That warm breath on her neck, those soft lips that crashed against hers, that hand that had brushed her naked skin moments earlier..all belonged to Callie. And now, she could hardly breathe as she waited in anticipation to feel that breath, those lips, that touch her where she needed it the most.

"Callie…I…," Arizona panted in between more intense kisses, but her words got stuck as she felt firm fingers pinch her nipple through the material of her dressing gown. "Fuck!" the blonde whispered in surprise as she reacted to the pain. Pain that was quickly replaced by pleasure as the brunette playfully brushed her fingertips over the now hard nipple, circling round and round. Callie stared deep into Arizona's lust-filled eyes as she repeated the move with the other nipple, loving the power she had over the CIA officer. After all the tension of the past few weeks, it was now Callie's turn to be the one in control. All the pent-up frustration that they had been carrying around for the past few weeks came pouring out, neither woman was able to ignore the feelings they had been fighting a minute longer.

Kissing and touching each other felt so natural, and Callie could simply not get enough of the blonde as her tongue once again thrust deeper into Arizona's mouth. Her hands on the slender hips, pulling her even closer. She was so turned on by how much Arizona wanted her after all these years. Hearing Arizona actually voice what she wanted Callie to do to her, had made her so incredibly wet. As she watched the blonde grind down hard on her leg she realised how easy it would be to open that dressing gown and slip her hand down the front of those pink shorts. To slide her fingers deep inside her. The thought nearly tipped her over the edge and she knew she needed to take control. It was tempting to drag this out, to tease Arizona a little longer, but it was starting to become physically painful to hold off.

"Say it again..." Callie said in a low breathy voice that sent a shudder down Arizona's body. "...tell me what you want me to do to you Arizona…," Callie whispered, leaning in close to the blonde's neck as she ran her tongue over the smooth skin, before wrapping her lips around her ear lobe and biting it playfully.

Arizona almost came there and then, when Callie slowly whispered in her ear. "Tell me how much you want me." She gripped the brunette's butt cheeks and thrust her hips hard as she felt her clit throb and moaned, "I want you to fuck me, Calliope...I want you to make me come like you used to," Arizona let out a deep breath as she spoke, staring into those deep brown eyes.

Callie had heard enough and slipped her arms under Arizona's butt cheeks, lifting the blonde off the floor in one swift move. Arizona wrapped her legs around Callie's toned torso as the brunette started carrying her towards the bedroom. Arizona sank her lips onto that perfect neck and sucked on the spot that had always sent Callie wild. The Latina felt her knees buckle slightly as she felt soft lips brush against her pleasure point.

Callie practically threw Arizona onto the bed, the blonde landing on her back with a bounce. Without a word she quickly shuffled up the bed to make room for Callie to join her but stopped moving when she saw the FBI agent was looking at her. It was the same way a lion looks at its prey before the kill.

Arizona's eyes widened as she watched the brunette in what seemed like unbearable slow motion, unbutton her shirt, followed by her jeans, as she saw the hot pink underwear barely restraining those magnificent breasts on that caramel skin. She licked her lips in anticipation, as she watched the gorgeous FBI agent slowly climb up onto the bed. A groan escaped her mouth as she felt Callie's fingers slip down the sides of her shorts before sliding them down her legs. Arizona lifted herself off the bed and removed her clothes before throwing them somewhere into the darkness of the room. She flopped back onto the bed completely naked and parted her legs, giving Callie an invitation she couldn't refuse.

"Fuck, I've missed you," Callie whispered as she took in the blonde's nakedness for the first time, and it was true. Callie had slept with countless women since she had been with Arizona, but there was something so familiar about the blonde's body. About those perfectly formed breasts, that toned stomach, those freckles on her shoulders.

Hearing those words made a small lump form in the CIA officer's throat at the news that Callie had missed her. She was so fucking hot and sexy and could have any woman she wanted, but she had just said she had missed her!

Callie started placing small kisses all over that perfect ivory skin, running her tongue over sensitive spots. Soft moans escaped from Arizona's mouth as she watched her ex-lover become familiar with her body again. The brunette's mouth latched onto one of Arizona's breasts and Callie closed her eyes as she focused on the pert nipple before moving her attention to the other one.

The blonde's body writhed on the bed as she lost herself to Callie's kisses and was powerless to stop the throbbing between her thighs. She was not sure how much more of this teasing she could take. Her hair stood on end as she felt fingernails run slowly down the inside of her legs as the Latina inched closer and closer to her core.

As much as the brunette was enjoying reacquainting herself with Arizona's body, she was driving herself mad as well as she made her way down the slender body before reaching her final destination. Callie could smell how much the blonde wanted her, saw the excitement coating the top of those thighs, and could not wait any longer as she placed her mouth over Arizona's clit.

"Oh my god!" Arizona cried out as the brunette's tongue flicked back and forth. She had pictured this moment so many times over the years. She looked down the bed and saw the mass of glossy brown hair between her legs, the sight was the last thing she needed to completely lose herself to the sensation.

"There...just there," Arizona purred as she felt the brunette's mouth encase her throbbing clit. Callie let out a satisfied groan as she took her time teasing the blonde. Her tongue exploring her opening, probing, licking it, softly sucking Arizona. "God, you taste so good," she murmured and smiled as she felt two firm hands grip the top of her head to let her know not to move from that spot. Callie placed a strong hand on the brunette's thigh to keep her pressed down as she sped up her movements before she slowly slipped her fingers into the blonde's entrance.

Arizona's eyes shot open as she felt the brunette's teeth nip her clit as two fingers entered her. "Oh Jesus," she cried out, squirming beneath the brunette's touch as she got closer and closer to climaxing. "Callie…, I don't think I can't hold on for much longer, I'm gonna come...fuck, Callie….it feels so good," she whispered as Callie's mouth continued to lap her up.

Upon hearing those words the brunette skillfully slipped a third finger into the blonde, who was so wet by now. Callie felt those inner walls start to contract around her fingers as Arizona's orgasm started to take hold. She was so turned on herself, but she knew it would not take much to tip the CIA officer over the edge. She sped up her actions and she glanced up, seeing the blonde looking down at her. As their eyes made contact Arizona started to come, "Fuck me!...oh fuck...holy craaaap..I'm coming oh god….I'm coming..I'm comi…," the blonde lost control of her body as wave after wave of powerful orgasm hit her, her body bucking up off the bed as Callie continued to lick her.

Seeing Arizona come undone and using that kind of language, almost tipped Callie over the edge. She had always loved how her touches turned this normally so in control person, so wild. The brunette felt herself being pulled up by the arms towards the blonde, an indication that she could not take anymore.

Arizona was still coming down from her high when she pulled the brunette up towards her, slamming her mouth hard on Callie. Tasting herself all over the brunette's mouth brought her excitement to yet another new level.

"You are so fucking sexy," Callie groaned in between kisses. She felt the blonde's hands run over her back before stopping to take off her bra. "God, damn it," Arizona muttered embarrassed as struggled with the task.

Callie chuckled as she pulled her lips away from the blonde and smiled at her, only Arizona wasn't smiling back. The CIA agent had a mild look of panic on her face as she tried again with the clasp of Callie's bra. "For fucks sake!" the blonde hissed, getting annoyed at herself. How hard was it to take a bra off someone else's back?

Suddenly she realised how inexperienced she was. Back in college, it had not felt like a big deal. Sure, Callie had been with other girls before Arizona, but not many and she had overcome her first-time nerves quickly. Fast forward nearly seven years and the normally confident CIA officer realised she was now completely out of her depth. Fuck, what was she doing? She had not been with anyone other than Tom since Callie, and Callie was a sex Goddess! She had probably been with loads of women in the time they had been apart. Fear started to take hold as Arizona panicked at not being able to please the Latina the way she wanted.

Callie reached behind her back and effortlessly unhooked her bra. The blonde felt a gush of warmth between her legs as she took in the hot Latina's magnificent breasts. Her hands hesitated as she doubted her next move. She wanted to touch the gorgeous Latina so much, but she felt stupid and out of her depth.

Sensing Arizona was freaking out a little, Callie placed a hand on the worried-looking face and held her gaze "Arizona…," the brunette softly said, "it's OK...It's me." She leaned in and placed a soft kiss on the blonde's lips. Arizona closed her eyes as she melted into the kiss and as she felt Callie press against her. "I am so turned on right now….you turn me on so much…," Callie whispered as she watched Arizona's eyes spring open at her words and go a shade deeper, "...you have always have...," she admitted.

Arizona listened to Callie's words and lost herself in the brunette's eyes. She knew she needed to push her nerves to the side before she messed this up. She moved her hand as she started circling the brunette's nipple with the tip of her fingers, just like she used to do, her confidence growing slightly as she watched it go hard beneath her touch and felt the brunette's breath hitch slightly.

"Fuck!" Callie groaned as she felt the blonde's light touch, she smiled as she locked eyes and inched even closer. "You know what I like…..tell me you haven't forgotten….," Callie paused as she reached down and took the blonde's spare hand and led it down her stomach and into her soaked panties. Callie watched Arizona's pupils dilate with desire as she felt the brunette's excitement. Callie moved closer and whispered into the blonde's ear, "...show me you haven't forgotten."

It was all the encouragement the blonde needed before she pushed the brunette onto her back and climbed on top of her. Her hands purposely yanked down the soaked pink knickers off of the brunette, before dispatching them on the floor. It might have been over six years, but she had never forgotten. It was the best sex of her life, how could she forget that?

Arizona positioned herself on top of the sexy brunette and hooked one of Callies legs over her thighs as she positioned herself so that their cores were touching. She started to slowly move her hips back and forth, their throbbing clits rubbing against each other, as they locked eyes and moved in unison as like it was yesterday. Their bodies seemed to fit together like a jigsaw.

Callie closed her eyes for a moment as she lost herself in the sensation the CIA Officer was creating with her slow movements. The Latina was used to being in control when it came to sex. That had been her first woman Callie had slept with after her break up from Arizona had at one point rolled on top of the brunette, but instead of being turned on, she had freaked out because it looked wrong. It was not Arizona.

From that point onwards she had always insisted on being on top, insisted on being the one in control….until now. Now, she wanted to open her eyes and watch Arizona grind herself against her, watch those pert breasts move up and down. Watch her as she arched her back and tipped her head back as she climaxed. Callie had not allowed anyone to control her this way in years and it was exhilarating. The blonde was calling the shots, setting the pace, speeding, and slowing down when she felt the brunette was getting near. Callie realised Arizona did indeed remember. Arizona remembered everything!

As Callie closed her eyes and let herself revel in the feeling of freedom that came with letting someone else take the lead. She felt so vulnerable but she did not want it to stop, she never wanted this feeling to stop. For some reason, her vulnerability made everything else feel so much more rewarding.

"I have never forgotten you, Calliope," Arizona whispered as she ran her fingernails up and down the FBI agent's taut abs before reaching up and cupping the Latina's breasts in her hands as she picked up the pace slightly. "Fuck! I have imagined myself on top of you so many times," she continued. "Imagined rubbing myself against you…," Arizona was struggling to control her breathing as she felt herself edging nearer.

Callie opened her eyes and went to speak, but her words did not appear as she felt the start of her orgasm kick in.

"Shit, Callie,….I'm so turned on...you are gonna make me come again," Arizona admitted. It had been years since she had been this excited. She leaned down and softly kissed the brunette's neck, generating a low groan from the brunette who wrapped her arms around the blonde's back and pulled her even closer as she picked up the pace.

"Touch me," Callie whispered in a pleading voice, "please... I need you to touch me, Arizona."

The blonde slid her hand down between their bodies and slipped two fingers inside the brunette, her own core edging closer to release as she felt Callie's excitement. Felt that warm velvety juice coat her fingers as they slipped in and out of the Latina. Her thumb rubbed her lover's swollen clit as she brought Callie closer to the edge.

"Oh God, that feels so good," Callie cried and it really did. "I missed you," Callie said again, "fuck I've missed you so fucking much...oh yeah…fuck…there ...there….harder...fuck me….harder...," Callie could not stop the words from coming out of her mouth as she felt Arizona's fingers inside her, rubbing her. She watched her bounce on top of her, her eyes following a bead of sweat as it slowly trickled down between her perfect breasts.

Callie's hands clamped around the blonde's slender waist as her hips bucked up, moving faster and faster as they fucked each other like the world was about to end. Callie's orgasm gripped hold and she gripped the bedsheets as her body spasmed uncontrollably, tipping Arizona over the edge again.

The blonde collapsed on top of the Latina, their bodies slick with perspiration as they struggled for air, panting hard, their hearts beating double time.

"Fuck!" Callie chuckled, "that was..," she struggled to speak, "..fucking hot!". She could feel Arizona's heart beating pounding through her chest as the petite blonde laid on top of her not moving.

"I think you may have killed me!" Arizona joked as she took in deep breaths before lifting her head and smiling a full dimpled smile at the brunette.

"Sorry!" Callie replied with a chuckle, not meaning it at all.

"It's OK. I forgive you," the blonde replied as she slid off the brunette and rested her head on Callie's chest. "I mean there are worse ways to die right," she said as she placed a soft kiss on the FBI Agents caramel skin. "Fuck, you are so sexy!" she added as she marveled at the beautiful breasts. She could not help but run her fingertips over their surface, generating a small chuckle from the Latina. Callie raised an all-knowing eyebrow at Arizona, she was onto the fact that despite Arizona saying she couldn't handle anymore, she clearly could.

"What?" Arizona whined as she lifted her head off of Callie's chest and propped it up on her bent arm, looking at Callie. "I can't help it that I find you unbelievably sexy and hot….and I'm getting turned on again just thinking about what just happened…," Arizona let out a small groan of pleasure. "Fuck...did that really just happen?" She laughed to herself as she flopped onto her back and ran her hands through her hair. "Or is it all just my imagination and I'm going to wake up and you are going to still hate me and I..."

"Hey! I never hated you…," Callie said, interrupting the blonde before she could finish.

"Errr, yeah you did!" Arizona responded, raising her eyebrows in the brunette's direction.

Callie laughed. "OK...you're right, I did hate you," as she placed a kiss on top of the blonde head before rolling on her side so she could look at the blonde more easily. She lazily draped an arm over the blonde's naked stomach.

"I mean, I don't blame you," Arizona admitted softly before changing the tone in her voice. "But what about now?" she asked with a coy tone in her voice. "Do you still hate me now Calliope?" Arizona's fingers were still brushing against the brunette's breasts. She got her answer when Callie quickly rolled on top of her and kissed her hard. Their tongues battling each other again, the desire kicking off once more. The Latina just could not get enough of the beautiful blonde.

"Totally," she laughed after she pulled back from the kiss, before placing small kisses on the blonde's cheeks, nose, forehead before moving down the side of her neck. "I totally hate you," she said teasingly as she ran her tongue up the blonde's neck, which tasted salty from the sweat their antics had caused. Callie placed the lightest of kisses on Arizona's skin, generating a small groan from the CIA officer as she felt the warm breath near her ear. "Let me show you just how much I hate you, Officer Robbins".

##

Wrapped in each other's arms they slowly recovered their breathing and gave their bodies a much-needed breather. Arizona's head was resting on Callie's shoulder, while the brunette absentmindedly played with the blonde's soft hair.

"Penny for them," Callie said, eventually breaking the comfortable silence that had formed.

"Hmm what?" Arizona responded with a small smile as she rested her head on her arm and looked into those deep brown eyes. This, cuddling with Callie, was pure bliss. She had always thought it was a bit of a college thing to do, but she realised now she wanted to spend a lot more time like this. If Callie would let her.

"What are you thinking? I can hear the click whirling from here," Callie asked as she reached up and tucked a loose strand of hair behind Arizona's ear.

The CIA officer opened her mouth to speak, but hesitated and shook her head. "Nothing," she lied with a small smile, but she knew she was not convincing anyone. She just did not want this moment to change and speaking her mind would change the mood for sure.

Callie's face looked over with concern. "Arizona, you have never been able to lie, so tell me,…..what's bothering you...are you...you know…. having regrets?"

Arizona's eyes widened at the suggestion. "God, no," she said, shaking her head vigorously as she leaned over and placed a soft kiss on the brunette's lips. "Seriously….?" Arizona chuckled "How can I regret what just happened? Callie….it was….incredible." She struggled to find the words to explain how she was feeling.

"Okay...then what?" Callie said as she felt nervous butterflies start up in her stomach as possible scenarios started flying through her head as to what the blonde was thinking. She had opened herself up to Arizona and shown her vulnerableness and now she needed reassurance. And then it hit her. Fuck! What if she was just a rebound fuck. Callie sat up suddenly, the mood dissipating within seconds.

"Callie?" Arizona asked, as she literally watched the brunette start to build up her walls again. "What's wrong?" She realised she needed to do something. She asked Callie what was wrong, but she already knew.

"Calliope," she said softly, trying to get Callie out of her mental downward spiral. She sat up and gently ran her fingers over Callie's arm. "Look at me," she gently ordered. She waited for Callie's eyes to lock with hers. "Tell me what you see, Callie," she whispered. Arizona made sure to pour her feelings into her stare, trying to reassure the woman across from her.

"Arizona…," Callie's voice trailed off as she lost herself in Arizona's stare for a moment. She could feel the look in the blonde's eyes deep in the pit of her stomach. It spread through her body like a velvety warmth, making her feel a little bit more at ease.

"Just tell me what you see," Arizona repeated.

"I see you," Callie said softly. She had quickly caught on to what Arizona was trying to do. It was exactly what had made her fall so hard for the blonde all those years ago. When Arizona let her, Callie could see straight into her soul.

"I…," Arizona sighed and bit her lip. Callie's words made her feel vulnerable and even though she knew it was time to bare her soul, it scared her. "Six years and 200 days ago, I let you walk away from me. I knew right at that moment that that was a big mistake. I thought I could fix it at the time. I will probably spend the rest of my life trying to fix it, but I am not letting you walk away from me this time." Once she finished speaking, Arizona gazed at Callie, anxiously waiting for her reply.

"I…you…, fuck..," Callie was trying to say something but words seemed to elude her. "This," she said as she waved her finger in between them, indicating their situation," scares the shit out of me. I've faced terrorists and have gotten myself in some pretty tricky situations without even breaking a sweat, but you...you scare me."

Arizona could not help but smile a little. They were talking, this was progress. For a moment there she feared Callie would bolt out of the room, denying the immense pull they both felt, but now she could see the other woman fighting and it made her so proud of Callie. It made her proud of herself for not giving up either. She would never give up on the FBI Agent. Not again.

"It scares me too," Arizona admitted. "The connection I feel with you, it's so intense. I thought it was because you were the first woman I was with. But even now I can feel it…" she paused and took hold of Callie's hand. She gently guided the brunette's hand towards her stomach. "Right there," she said softly. She then moved Callie's hand to her chest, covering her heart that was beating hard and fast right now. "And right here."

Callie closed her eyes when her hand connected with Arizona's bare stomach. She knew what Arizona was trying to say, she understood exactly what the blonde meant. When she felt the blonde's heartbeat, she bit her lip and slowly opened her eyes. Her heart was pounding to the same beat as Arizona's. "But...Tom…," she sighed.

"There is no Tom, Callie," the blonde replied gently but firmly. If her reasoning had been solid, she would have listened. "Yes, technically I am still married to him. But our marriage has been over for a long time. I've had the papers drawn up months ago, this has nothing to do with you." Even though technically what she had said was factually correct, the truth was, deep down she knew Callie had played a part in her marriage not working out, albeit a part she had no idea about. She had simply never truly committed to her life with Tom. She loved him and they had a good life together, but Arizona had quickly realised it was not enough.

"You have to believe me, Callie," she said softly. "I've given you my body and here I am, baring my soul to you. I don't know what else I can do to show you that I mean it."

Callie bit her lip and closed her eyes. She knew she was being petty, but the heartache from losing Arizona was still fresh in her memory, clouding her better judgment. They were in their thirties now, they had lived more, learned more, seen more. Neither of them was the same as those two young women they were in training. But at the same time, they were both scared shitless of the consequences of opening themselves up fully.

Callie took a deep breath, unable to take the tension anymore, and right now she could only think of one thing. This connection between her and Arizona sure was something and right there and then, Callie decided to take a leap of faith. "I know," she said, her lips curling into a smile. Her eyes darkened slightly as she let her mind wander. Arizona had sure given her her body.

"Callie?" Arizona was a little confused by the sudden shift in the other woman's demeanour.

"I think you should do it again," Callie said as she trailed her fingernails over Arizona's arm.

"Excuse me?"

The dark-haired woman flashed Arizona a devious smirk before leaning in closer, her lips inches from the blonde's ear. "I think you should give me your body again," she whispered before planting a soft kiss under Arizona's ear.

Callie leaned back and wiggled her eyebrows at the blonde. "You know, so I can be sure you mean it," she added before flashing Arizona a devious smile.
