A/N: Is it okay to admit I am nervous about this one? I hope it meets your standards. All characters belong to Shonda, if I had it my way, there would be an East Coast spin-off.
As Arizona drifted in and out of consciousness, she slowly became aware of the pitter-patter of raindrops tapping against the glass panes of the patio doors. In her bleary-eyed state she could see the normally clear morning sky was overtaken by the gloomy gray of an early summer rainstorm. Having lived in Seattle for the past ten years, she was no stranger to rain at any time of the year, but a cooling summer rain was always her favorite. While most people found the rain depressing and unsettling, she saw a rain like this as refreshing and invigorating. It washed away the dust and grime that accumulated in the dry heat, revitalized the grass and flowers, and released an earthy scent into the air making everything smell fresh and clean. Feeling the chill from the air conditioner combined with the cooler temperature brought by the rain, Arizona snuggled closer to the warm body wrapped around her, thinking about how the rain could be a sign of rejuvenation for them as well. To her, these past few days spent talking about their history together, digging up the dirt covering long buried hurts and regrets, have come to an end and their love for one another was blooming once again, restored, and refreshed by the moisture of the tears that were shed in the process of healing. In her mind, today was the beginning of a whole new life with Calliope Torres, her not ex-wife, but girlfriend. All the past pain and anguish were now put to rest properly and they could move forward from here. She knew there would be storms ahead of them, but she was confident that now they would weather them together.
As her other senses gradually returned to her, Arizona felt comforted by the weight of the long muscular leg slung haphazardly across her hip and mentally rolled her eyes at the soft tan hand that never failed to find its way under her shirt to nestle between her breasts. She smiled at this, thankful that though some things have changed, this, the fact that even in her sleep Callie had to be near her, touch her, protect her, remained the same. Closing her eyes and allowing that thought and the pattering rhythm of the rain to soothe her emotionally drained soul, her mind wandered to Callie and all the changes she's made in her life. Though Arizona learned yesterday that her visit to New York was the catalyst for these personal changes and their experiences with her leg were the inspiration behind the ortho surgeon's new professional path, she wondered about the process, the successes and failures, the set-backs, the conversations with her therapist, why she decided to stay in New York and start her center here rather than come home. She wondered if that night Callie broke up with Penny was the last time she talked to her or if they tried to reconcile. Though she was almost certain there wasn't, she wondered if there was anyone between Penny and her. Except for Mark, Callie was never one for casual relationships and everything she learned so far led her to believe that this past year and a half was spent on healing and self-exploration. If that were the case, that meant…Arizona's eyes popped open at the possibility that it may have been over a year since Callie last had sex. For someone as passionate and sexual as Callie was, that was quite surprising. Then again, though she was technically semi-dating Carina until she officially broke it off the night she decided to move to New York, they hadn't had sex since before Sofia came home. Quickly doing the math, she realized it had been nearly a year for her as well. Her eyebrow quirked up as she decided it was no wonder there was so much sexual tension between them. Aside from their natural sexual attraction to each other, neither of them had been intimate with anyone for a looong time.
As the body behind her shifted and she felt the muscular arm that was wrapped around her flex, Arizona was reminded that aside from all the emotional and personal growth she was witness to, Callie had undergone some major physical changes as well. While the haircut was a huge shock, what was more intriguing was the change in style, both in clothing and in design preferences. Both seemed to carry a more masculine tone than what she was accustomed to seeing. While Callie was never the flowery type of person, she always seemed to lean more toward the feminine style of clothes, she wore a lot of dresses and skirts, tighter more form fitting designs to show off her luscious cleavage and sensuous curves. Now though, it seemed she was less inclined to focus as much on those things, in fact, though still very stylish, her clothes seemed to almost hide her femininity. She was beginning to wonder if it was just a change in taste or if it ran deeper. If it was something done purposely or if her girlfriend was still trying to figure it out for herself. If it was the latter, if it was what she suspected, did it matter to her? Would it be something that would make her change her mind about being with Callie? Thinking about all they've been through, how far they've come both individually and together, considering the changes they have both made and her own physical rediscovery, she realized it didn't matter to her. It didn't change who Callie was at her core. Despite everything, Callie still had the same amazing heart, the same generosity, the same fun-loving attitude, the same sense of humor, the same smile, and the same passion for medicine and for life that she always had, the same traits that made her fall head over heals the first time. But this Callie, the person she was coming to know now, this person, with all her changes, was the person she was falling in love with this time around. This was the person she wanted by her side for the rest of her life. She knew in normal situations it would be entirely too soon to know that, to feel that strongly, but this wasn't a normal situation and this wasn't just anyone. This was Callie, this was the same person she chose to spend her life with once before, the person she would choose every time she was given the choice.
"Ugh, I forgot how damn loud that beautiful brain of yours is!" a sleepy voice grumbled into the back of her head before making a trail of soft wet kisses along her bare neck and shoulder. Arizona chuckled and shivered at the jolt of electricity that coursed through her body as she replied, "Mmmm good morning, I was just thinking about my gorgeous sexy girlfriend." Smiling into the warm alabaster skin she was currently tending to, Callie responded, "Hmmm, is that right?" As she slowly made her way up to trace her tongue around the shell of a soft pale ear, the hand that was snuggled between the two amazing breasts began to wander. Arizona could feel the goosebumps forming on her skin as skillful fingers made random patterns from her chest to the waistband of her shorts teasing and taunting as they made wide circles around her slowly hardening nipples then zig-zagged down to dip just under the elastic of her shorts and back up again. Trying to keep her wits about her, Arizona husked out, "Mmmhmm, she…damn…ohh, ah I was just thinking about her…" Arizona gave up as that talented mouth connected to her pulse point and her back arched and liquid heat flowed to her core as deft fingers finally landed where she wanted them most and rolled her hardening nipple into a tight peak of heightened nerves sending waves of pleasure throughout her body. Loving the effect she was having on the smaller woman; Callie continued to lick and nibble on every inch of bare flesh the tiny tank top revealed as her nimble fingers made their way up to the other delicious mound of flesh and began kneading and massaging, eliciting a whimper from her girlfriend that triggered her own juices of arousal to start flowing.
With a great amount of effort due to the heaviness that settled in her body, Arizona shifted to her back causing the powerful leg that was resting on her hip to fall between her legs and brush up against her heated core forcing a moan of pleasure from both women. As Arizona settled on her back, Callie's breath hitched and her heart flipped at the vision before her, flawless cream-colored skin free of make-up, sleep swollen eyes darkened with arousal, soft lazy smile adorning full pink lips, tangled blonde curls spread over the pillowcase, all combined to form the most beautiful creature she had ever seen. "My god you are magnificent Arizona. This has to be one of my favorite versions of you." Callie whispered reverently as she lowered her head and brushed their lips together. Arizona groaned into the leisurely kiss as first her top lip was captured between plump red lips, then her bottom lip was sucked and nibbled by perfect white teeth, finally, she felt the all too familiar jolt of electricity as their tongues touched and slid against one another in a languorous dance, not for dominance but for the pure pleasure of sharing such intimacy with another person. With both arms now free to do their own exploration, she snaked her right arm in the space between Callie's body and the bed and brought her left arm up around her hip to slip both hands under the waistband of first sleep shorts then panties to caress and knead the finest ass she has ever seen.
Feeling the low groan of pleasure rise up from the body hovering above her only served to spur Arizona on as she squeezed the glorious mounds tighter and pulled Callie fully on top of her causing them to break the kiss and gasp at the pure ecstasy they both experienced when their heated centers collided. Balancing on her left arm to keep herself from putting all her weight on Arizona, Callie slowly and reluctantly slid the hand that was still kneading and massaging her full oversensitive breast along the length of her taut abdomen, around the slight curve of her hip, to the back of her shortened limb rubbing and caressing as she rolled her hips to connect their throbbing clits more effectively. Navy blue eyes fluttered closed briefly before opening again and connecting with dark chocolate turned nearly onyx flashing with desire. Bucking her hips to maintain the friction they both desperately needed, Arizona whimpered softly and tightened her grip on the delicious globes as she pulled her girlfriend even closer causing her to grind their mounds together eliciting a lewd moan from the other woman. No longer able to fight her ever-growing need, Callie continued to roll her hips in a slow, sensuous rhythm that Arizona quickly picked up and reciprocated. Lowering her head, she captured Arizona's mouth once again, immediately gaining access and maintaining the same leisurely tempo with their tongues. Arizona smiled into the kiss as she felt Callie's hand confidently and without hesitation continue to caress and massage her left thigh. She could feel the passion building between them as the pace began to pick up and the hand on her thigh slipped under her shorts, fingers curling inward, sliding smoothly across her skin due to the moisture of her arousal. Feeling the slickness caused Callie to whimper into the kiss as she felt her own wet heat seep out and run onto her leg.
As both women felt the tension coil in their lower abdomens, Callie slowed her pace at the same time Arizona brought her hands up to slide underneath Callie's shirt to rub soft soothing circles on her lower back. Breathing heavily, Callie moved her hand to a safer place and continued to trace patterns along the shortened limb as she tried to get her wits about her. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she finally opened them and husked out, "I don't want our first time to be a morning quickie. I am ready, damn am I ready, but I want to go slow and love you and worship your body like you deserve, like I've been dreaming of. I don't want to rush to completion then get up and tend to our daughter like nothing happened. I want us to take our time, enjoy each other, reconnect in the most intimate way possible. I just…I don't…" She didn't even realize she was shaking, with need, with frustration, she wasn't sure, until she was enveloped by strong sure arms and heard the soft whispers in her ear, "Shhh, it's okay baby, I want that too." Arizona took a deep breath to calm her thrumming nerves, she was close, she was so close, but she didn't want to just have sex for the sake of having sex either. Running her hands up and down Callie's back, she soothed, "I want you so much Calliope, that's no secret, but when we finally do make love, I want to do just that, I want to make love to you. I want to take my time too; I want to re-learn everything about you. I want to know if your breath still hitches the same way when I run my tongue along the underside of your breast, or if you still squirm and try to slither away from me when I…" Callie closed her eyes and dropped her head in the crook of Arizona's neck as she whined "Not helping Arizona!" The blonde giggled and squealed when Callie flipped them and settled on her back so she was now lying half on top of the taller woman.
Callie smiled as Arizona nestled herself against her chest, slipped her hand under her shirt and began tracing designs on her bare abdomen with her fingertips. Trying to get her libido under control, Callie lifted her hand to comb her fingers through long blonde tresses, and commented, "I think this is the longest I've ever seen your hair." Arizona nodded against her breast and said, "I've been so busy these last few weeks getting ready for the move, closing my cases, referring patients, and planning for the Robbins-Herman Center that I haven't had time to get it cut. I guess I need to find a salon out here." Callie thought about all the lengths she's seen Arizona's hair and commented, "I mean if you want to, I like it like this, but you know, my favorite has always been when it was this length." She then drew a line at the top of the blonde's shoulder with her finger. Arizona was well aware what her shorter hair did to Callie, though she wasn't sure why. Sitting up and propping herself on her elbow, Arizona raised her left hand to brush the unruly black curls from covering her favorite pair of dark chocolate eyes as she said, "I always thought the length yours was when we got married was my favorite, but I don't know now, I think I like this better." For a brief moment, Callie's heart sank as she thought her girlfriend was going to ask her to grow her hair out again. There were some things she missed about her long hair, but she felt this style was more indicative of the person she was becoming. She perked up as she heard Arizona's last comment and thought about how many times she played with the short stubble at her sides. Finally she asked, "Yeah? You like this." Arizona shook her head, seeing Callie deflate slightly, she declared, "No, I love it. It suits you, the person you are now. It's badass and well, all the things I told Sofia yesterday. Except I didn't tell her how sexy it is to me." Callie smiled then leaned in and kissed Arizona on her cheek, as she said "Thank you, it means a lot to hear you say that. I think, I feel like it speaks more to who I am now too." Running her hands along the side and feeling the softer texture rather than the prickly sensation she felt only days ago, Arizona suggested, "Though it feels like you are due for a trim too." Callie tilted her head and smiled as she asked, "Are you suggesting a family salon day?" Arizona thought for a minute then decided, "Well it is raining outside and we can't do much else, besides, I have this fancy new leg and I think…um…I think I'd like to get some new dresses and maybe some shorts, and Sof could use some summer clothes too. So how about we pamper ourselves today?" Callie considered the idea and realized she would like some new summer clothes as well and sat back against the pillows as she declared, "I think that sounds like a great idea."
As they settled back into their original position with Arizona resting on Callie's chest, Callie continued to absentmindedly run her hand through the long wavy hair allowing the comfortable silence and the rain to wash over her. She missed these lazy rainy mornings with Arizona, she missed everything honestly, but days like this, talking about mundane things like haircuts and shopping, snuggling together and sharing passionate moments were among her favorite memories. She smiled thinking about all the rainy mornings they would spend in bed together pleasuring each other, alternating between making love and fucking, sweet and sensual, then fast and dirty, doing things to each other she wouldn't dream of ever doing with anyone else. She squirmed a little at that thought, she couldn't wait to have Arizona writhing underneath her once again. Feeling Arizona inside her, on top of her, licking…Closing her eyes she took a deep breath and tried to think about anything but what she wanted to do to and with Arizona once they finally came together. Feeling Callie wriggle underneath her, smelling her fresh arousal, Arizona was almost certain where her girlfriend's mind had gone. Listening to the rain beat against the window reminded her of the many times they waited out the rain wrapped up in one another, touching, kissing, loving, fucking…breathing in through her nose, she tried to calm her own need and not think about being with this sexy woman in the most intimate of ways. As Callie began to massage her scalp, Arizona relaxed and closed her eyes, she loved having Callie's hands in her hair, she was so gentle and loving in her touch. As she thought about this as well as their need for intimacy, an idea formed in her mind, she propped herself up and lifted her hand to caress the beautiful caramel colored cheek, before asking, "Do you, um, do you remember the other day, one of the things that I said I loved the most about us?" Sifting through their many recent conversations, Callie's eyes widened and her heartbeat picked up as she asked, "You want to…you ah, you want to shower together?" Sex aside, showering with Arizona was among her favorite things to do together as well. She agreed with her girlfriend's sentiment that it was so intimate and sensual and just made her feel so close to the other woman. Arizona nodded and replied, "I just…I want to be close to you, feel you, care for you…and this way, well, it's like I said, aside from sex, this was always the closest I've felt to you. But if you're not…" Callie cut off her ramble as she leaned forward to brush their lips together and murmured "I would love to shower with you, to hold you, feel your body against mine." Arizona unleashed her super-magic smile and flirted, "If I remember correctly, even the non-sexy showers were very steamy." Without waiting for a response, she scooted to the edge of the bed and stretched before reaching for her prosthetic.
As Callie turned to get out of bed, out of the corner of her eye she noticed Arizona was preparing to put on her prosthetic leg. At that moment, the idea that was stuck in the back of her mind as she was watching Sofia and Arizona play together in the pool, finally clicked in her brain and she rushed to the other side of the bed. Arizona laughed at Callie's eagerness when she noticed she had already made her way around the bed and was standing in front of her. She instantly sobered when she saw the nervous expression on Callie's face as she bit her bottom lip and her eyes darted from the robotic leg to her shortened limb. Becoming concerned Arizona tilted her head and studied her girlfriend's face, trying to get a better read then finally asked, "What is it Callie?" Taking a deep breath, Callie knelt before Arizona, placed her hands on muscular alabaster thighs and looked into questioning blue eyes as she said, "Can you not wear that? Just this first time at least, I just want you Arizona. No prosthetics, no pretenses, no past memories or pain. When we are standing together naked for the first time in four years, I want you to know without a doubt that the lust in my eyes, the desire on my face, my inability to keep my hands off you is because of who you are right now, in all your natural beauty. I don't want you to wonder if I am seeing the woman I fell in love with ten years ago. I don't want you to wonder if I am reacting to a piece of metal and silicone. I want you to know, I want you to feel deep down in your soul that the only reason I feel the way I do, the only person I am falling in love with, is this person right here sitting in front of me." Before she knew what happened, Callie found herself lying flat on her back with Arizona clinging to her like a koala.
As she listened to Callie talk, heard the sincerity in her voice, saw the truth in her eyes, felt the love in her touch, Arizona would swear she felt the last vestiges of doubt that remained leave her body and the crack of this particular heartbreak seal itself back together never to be opened again. Without thinking, she launched herself into Callie's arms tumbling them both to the ground. As she buried her head in the crook of a warm tan neck and felt strong arms wrap around her, Arizona was certain, for the first time in six years that she was enough; she was all Callie wanted, all Callie needed. Feeling the hot tears on her neck, Callie held on tighter and gently rocked them back and forth as she unknowingly confirmed her girlfriend's thoughts, "You are enough for me Arizona, THIS you, THIS version of you is the person who has consumed my thoughts and my dreams for the last five weeks. THIS Arizona Robbins in my arms right now is the only woman I want, the only woman I need." Though she didn't mean for them to, her words caused the smaller woman in her arms to sob harder. Closing her eyes, Callie tried to let go of the guilt she still held onto for not seeing what her wife needed all those years ago. She knew it would do neither of them any good and vowed to start forgiving herself for the past pains as well. Struggling to sit up, she maneuvered them so she was sitting cross legged and Arizona's bottom was resting between her legs straddling her waist. She continued her rocking motion until Arizona's body began to relax and she felt the steady even breaths against her neck. She brought her hands up and tried to pry strong pale arms from the hold they had on her. When Arizona finally sat up, Callie leaned in and kissed the tear stains from her cheeks. As she opened her mouth to apologize, she realized Arizona must have known what was about to come out of her mouth because she placed her finger on her lips and said, "No, no more apologies Calliope. This wasn't something you did or caused; it was something my traumatized brain led me to believe. It was a poisonous thought that manifested itself and you didn't even know it was there because I didn't communicate that to you." Taking her hand away from plump red lips, she moved it to gently scratch at the stubble she had come to love so much as she continued, "Your words just now only confirmed what your actions have been saying all along. They were an affirmation of something I already felt, already knew. They served as the final stitches to a wound you had already begun to heal."
Having no response, Callie pulled her girlfriend close and tried to convey everything she was feeling in a slow sensual kiss. Coming up for air, she rested their foreheads together and closed her eyes just enjoying the moment of being wrapped up together. After a few long moments, Arizona broke the silence as she said, "As much as I am enjoying this, I know it can't be comfortable and I am certain we would have more fun in the shower." Chuckling, Callie stretched out her legs, scooted herself back, and stood up as she confirmed, "Yeah, I think I am getting a little too old to be sitting on the floor crisscross applesauce for an extended period of time." Hearing this, Arizona laughed out loud and said, "Oh my god, Calliope Torres did not just say crisscross applesauce." She then looked up to the woman towering over her, straightened her face and extended her hand palm up. At the questioning look she received, she responded, "I'm going to need you to turn in your badass card or promise to never say that again." Callie laughed at the silliness, then growled, "I'll show you badass." She grabbed the extended hand and effortlessly pulled the smaller woman to a standing position, wrapped one arm around her back and the other underneath her butt and scooped her up over her shoulder eliciting the most girly squeal she had ever heard. Laughing at the uncharacteristic sound and protests to be put down, Callie carried her girlfriend to the bathroom and plopped her unceremoniously onto the bathroom countertop before helping her slide to a standing position on the floor.
Standing firmly on the ground now, Arizona lifted her arms to squeeze both of Callie's biceps and gave a hum of approval as she said, "Ya know, if I didn't think it was so hot, I'd scold you for constantly manhandling me." Callie quirked her brow in the sexy way that made Arizona's stomach flutter and asked, "You think it's hot huh?" Arizona nodded as she confirmed, "Very much so." Getting that mischievous glint in her eye, Callie bent down and scooped the blonde up in her arms once again eliciting the same squeal as before. The brunette laughed and said, "Well I happen to think that sound is adorable. Maybe I should just carry you everywhere from now on." Arizona wrapped her arms around Callie's neck and threw her head back in laughter before calming and answering, "While I wouldn't be opposed, I am sure our patients might find it kind of odd. Besides, how would you operate?" Callie looked up to the ceiling as if she were actually contemplating it and responded, "I'll just slide you to my back. Then you can look over my shoulder and tell me if I miss anything." Arizona laughed again and leaned in for a kiss murmuring, "You've got it all figured out huh?" Callie nodded before capturing pink lips with her own and moaning softly as the blonde sucked on her bottom lip before sliding her tongue in her mouth initiating a slow and sexy kiss. Breathless, Arizona pulled back and said, "We'd better get into that shower before we run out of time." Agreeing, Callie once again put Arizona down and reached into a drawer under the sink to pull out her own toothbrush as well as a spare she handed over to the blonde.
After brushing their teeth, Callie went to the shower to turn on and adjust the water to the perfect temperature, and Arizona took in her surroundings. She wasn't at all surprised that this bathroom was nearly an exact replica of the one in her room except it was a little bigger and this shower actually had shower heads on both ends. Callie was never one to flaunt her family money or even hint to the extravagant lifestyle she had grown up with, but when it came to certain things, this house primarily, it was clear she spared no expense. As Callie turned around, she noticed the thoughtful expression on her girlfriend's face and mistook the reason behind it as she said, "I know, it was pretty presumptuous of me but…" She was cut off by the palm Arizona held out in front of her. Arizona shook her head then and said, "Not presumptuous Callie, hopeful. Presumption indicates you saw this, us, as a foregone conclusion. From everything you told me, you saw anything but. Having hope that it would eventually happen, that's what this is. But actually, that's not what I was thinking at all." Callie thought about Arizona's words then realized she was right. Then she wondered exactly where her girlfriend's mind had gone and furrowed her brow in question. Arizona blushed slightly; this was something they haven't discussed since early on in their relationship. Both being high-profile surgeons, money was never a concern. The most they discussed finances was when they combined their accounts, separated their accounts, and bought the hospital. Arizona explained, "I was actually just thinking how you never really indulge yourself, you never ah…you've never acted like you had money…I think this is the first time I've seen you actually splurge." Callie nodded and explained, "Well, it's like I said before, this is what I saw for my future, ah our future, what I hoped for and I wanted it to be everything we ever talked about, let ourselves fantasize about. So, no, I didn't hold back. It also helps that at about the time I was looking to buy, daddy released a portion of my inheritance. He said he wanted to see me enjoy it with my family." Arizona just nodded, "It's a gorgeous home Calliope and I am honored that you considered me, thought about me when you did all this."
Callie crossed the room and stood directly in front of Arizona then took her face in her hands as she said, "You're all I could think about Arizona. I don't see a future with anyone but you." Arizona smiled, brought her own hands up to cover soft tan cheeks and replied, "It's always been you Callie. You are it for me. I never even tried to find anyone else to spend my life with." Callie already suspected this, knew it in her heart, she wasn't naïve enough to think Arizona hadn't been with other women, but she was certain she never gave her heart to them. Stepping closer, she dropped one hand to wrap around a trim waist to rest at the small of Arizona's back while sliding the other down to her neck to pull her into a soft kiss. Arizona wrapped her arms around Callie's back and pulled her tighter as she darted her tongue out to trace along her plump top lip before dipping it inside and running it along the roof of Callie's mouth causing her to whimper. Almost simultaneously, both sets of arms lowered to the hem of the other woman's shirt and began pulling it up slowly. The steam from the shower rose around them fogging up the mirror and causing a sheen of moisture to develop on their bare skin. Finally breaking the kiss, Callie leaned back so they could pull their shirts over their heads and toss them to the floor.
Though they were both topless the other morning when they got carried away, neither took the opportunity to just look at the other woman, to take in the changes four years could do to a body, to learn the nuances, to admire the beauty of the naked form. Arizona reached out and traced the now invisible scar between Callie's breasts with her finger, then splayed her hand over the taut abdomen that was rippling with nerves, desire, and the ever present butterflies Callie always felt at being touched by this woman. Pale fingers traced the faint lines of the sixpack that was developing, dipped into her naval then trailed down to the waistband of her sleep shorts as its counterpart was brought up to assist in pushing both shorts and panties down her curvaceous hips until they slid down long muscular legs. Arizona's eyes darkened and her voice was raspy as she whispered, "You are simply miraculous Calliope Torres." Flattening her palms against the sides of Callie's upper thighs, Arizona slowly brought them up and around the front until they met just above the thin strip of tight black curls that did nothing but draw her attention to the luscious lips at the apex of caramel colored thighs. Callie stared into blue eyes full of desire for her and shivered at the feel of Arizona's hands exploring her naked body. As she felt nimble fingers extending down her tight patch of curls, Callie caught the wandering hand and stopped it from going any lower, as she husked out a warning, or maybe it was a plea, in a hoarse voice that was anything but steady, "Arizona." Knowing her own body was teetering on the edge, Arizona nodded and complied as she lifted both arms up and rested them on strong caramel shoulders.
Taking a deep calming breath, Callie reached out shaky hands and placed them on Arizona's hips and leaned in to brush their lips together softly as she tucked her fingers in the waistband of Arizona's shorts and pushed down until she felt them drop to the floor as well. She gasped as she looked down and saw the glistening moisture seeping from bare pink lips onto her pale inner thighs. Forcing herself not to drop to her knees and lap up all the creamy goodness she knew was waiting for her, she stepped forward instead and wrapped her arms around Arizona's waist and slid her hands down over her delectable ass and tapped the backs of her thighs prompting Arizona to hop up and wrap her legs around her waist. Callie let out a loud moan caused by both the wet heat against her stomach and the skin to skin contact. Blue eyes locked on brown as they moved toward the shower and were enveloped in sticky steam and nearly unbearable hot water. Standing under the hot spray, both women reveled in the feeling of being wrapped up in one another sharing something that was so special to both of them. Arizona lifted her hands and rubbed them along Callie's scalp pulling her head forward as she leaned in and bit down on a plump lip before soothing it with her tongue and dipping it into a welcoming mouth. Finally pulling apart, both women closed their eyes and gasped at the sensation of Arizona sliding down the length of Callie's body as she was lowered until her right foot touched the shower floor.
No words were spoken as they stood together, Arizona's arms resting on Callie's shoulders for support as she tilted her head back into the stream of water while strong tan fingers ran along her scalp and through tangled blonde curls helping the water saturate every strand. When she was finished, Arizona repeated the action as Callie tilted her head back into the hot water and she ran her fingers through the short tuft of black hair. Letting the hot water beat down on both of their backs, Callie gently pulled Arizona closer and bent down to brush their lips together before kissing her way down to the soft spot just behind her left ear where she bit down lightly then sucked just hard enough to turn the sensitive pale skin a deep red. Pulling back she whispered in her ear, "You are the sexiest woman I have ever seen Arizona." As Callie continued her ministrations on her neck and shoulder, Arizona brought her left hand down to her plump pert breast and began tracing the circle outlining the mocha colored areola, watching in fascination as the soft center puckered to an erect peak and small goose bumps decorated the overheated skin surrounding it. Unable to fight the urge, Arizona leaned forward and swiped her tongue around the areola then across the turgid nipple before sucking it into her mouth and nipping it with her teeth causing Callie to toss her head back and buck her hips and tangle her hand in her wet hair effectively keeping her head in place urging her to continue. As Arizona switched her attention to her other breast, Callie's hips began to jerk involuntarily. Feeling the pulsing in her clit and the moisture from her center drip down her thigh, Callie reluctantly gently tugged at the blonde hair wrapped around her fingers and took a small step back.
Seeing the desire written all over her girlfriend's face, Arizona knew she was borrowing trouble, but couldn't help herself. Feeling Callie's firm grip on her waist, Arizona reached over to the shelf next to her, pumped a small amount of shampoo onto her palm, rubbed her hands together to lather it up, then reached up to work it into Callie's short curls, scratching and massaging her scalp in just the way she knew would bring her girlfriend the most pleasure. Moaning in delight, Callie closed her eyes and felt the tension leave her body as Arizona ran her hands through her hair and over her scalp. "Mmm that feels so good. You have such magic fingers." Arizona smirked and responded, "I could insert a lewd comment here, but for the sake of being good, I'll just say thank you." Callie chuckled and opened one eye as she said, "Saying that was just as bad because now I am imagining all the dirty things you could say." Arizona tilted Callie's head back into the spray of the shower and ran her fingers through her hair to rinse out the shampoo as she said, "You'll just have to wait and see what these magic fingers and this dirty mouth can do won't you?" Callie whined and stomped her foot as she complained, "Damnit Arizona!" The blonde just smiled and pulled Callie forward to place a smacking kiss on her lips before repeating her actions all over again with the conditioner.
When her hair was fully rinsed, Callie reached up and unlinked the pale arms that were wrapped around her neck and lowered them to her waist. Making sure Arizona had a firm hold, she twisted to her side and pumped a generous amount of shampoo in her hand and began to lather it into the long blonde tresses. Arizona groaned in pleasure and tilted her head back allowing her girlfriend free reign to do as she pleased. Looking down to see all the exposed flesh, Callie couldn't help but lean forward and suck and nibble on the pale skin of the long sleek neck as she continued to massage her girlfriend's scalp. Kissing her way back up the slick skin of Arizona's neck, she traced the line of her jaw with her tongue, lapping up the moisture caused by the steam and the spray of the shower as she finally connected their lips in a slow languorous kiss. As she pulled back, Callie carefully tilted Arizona's head back and rinsed the shampoo from her tangled locks. Once she was finished, she bent to kiss the blonde on the forehead and mumbled against her skin, "You smell like me now." Arizona smiled at the tenderness and raised her hand to cup a caramel cheek that was reddened with the heat of the water as she said, "Mmmm I like smelling like you. It makes me miss you less when we aren't together." Callie smiled at this and felt a tenderness in her heart at the sentiment. It took her back all those years ago as she remembered missing her girlfriend even though they were only separated by mere floors, sometimes just a room. She recalled how she felt better just hearing her laugh or smelling her perfume because she knew she wasn't far away. Somehow, knowing the blonde felt the same way made her heart swell.
As Callie massaged the conditioner into her hair making sure to run her fingers through to the ends to untangle every strand, Arizona took the opportunity to lick and kiss along her girlfriend's collar bones enjoying the salty taste she had missed so much. Finished with dousing the blonde curls with conditioner, knowing it needed time to soak in, Callie reached for her sandalwood shower gel and worked it to a good lather in her hands and pulled Arizona's left hand from around her back, starting at the fingertips, she caressed and massaged the pink tinged skin up her arm to her shoulder, across her collar bones, over the other shoulder and back down her right arm until she reached the tip of her middle finger. This time as she took the soap, she squirted the cool liquid directly onto the overheated skin of the blonde's breasts making her gasp and shiver. Bringing her hands up, Callie began to work the slick gel into a lather against Arizona's skin, caressing and kneading each breast before moving lower to her slick taut stomach then sliding around to her back and running her hands up and down the length moving lower and lower each time until she cupped the full round bottom pulling the shorter woman closer so the fronts of their bodies brushed up against one another.
With her nerves on end from the erotic rub down, Arizona could barely form a coherent thought. The only concern she had was to give as much pleasure as she was receiving. Squirting a healthy amount of the earthy smelling soap into her own hand, she wrapped her arms around Callie's back and slowly ran her hands up the length of her back, curving around her shoulders and back down the curve of her spine until she reached the dip in her lower back making sure to rub their fronts together the entire time effectively spreading the lather between their two bodies. Sliding her hands down the swell of that magnificent ass, Arizona turned her hands inward curling her fingertips so they ran the length of the crease separating the two tan globes causing Callie to jump slightly and grind their cores together. "Fuck Arizona, I oh god…" Callie stammered and dropped her head to the blonde's shoulder as she brought one of her hands around the front and slipped it between two shaky thighs to caress smooth outer lips. Arizona hummed in approval as she felt the creamy moisture on her fingertips and asked, "Mmmm, is this for me Calliope?" Callie could only nod and whimper, "All for you." Arizona smirked then reached around her back where a tan hand was clamped to her hip as if holding on for dear life, pried it from her skin and brought it to her own front as she whispered, "You missed a spot and it's very messy down there." Callie groaned and closed her eyes as she felt just how true that statement was.
Arizona closed her eyes feeling Callie's palm cup her labia and couldn't help but grind down as she continued to caress the swollen mound in her hand adding just a little more pressure with each stroke. Finally Callie broke and growled out, "Baby, I can't…I need…ah fuck…something…more." As she too ground her core into the palm rubbing against her causing the liquid desire to flow out of her. Upon hearing the need in her girlfriend's voice, Arizona opened her eyes and gasped at the nearly black eyes that were almost pleading with her for relief. As her own clit continued to pulse with the need for release, Arizona caught a glimpse of something behind the brunette and realized it's twin was hanging behind her. Leaning in she placed a soft kiss on trembling lips and whispered, "I got you baby." At the questioning look she was given, Arizona turned slightly to grab the object behind her and showed it to her girlfriend who immediately caught on and reached behind her desperately snatching the item off the wall.
As they stood face to face, desire and need radiating from both women, Arizona reached up and turned the knob on the showerhead in her hand finding the pressure she was looking for then handed it off to Callie as she took the one she was holding and did the same. She then whispered, "Help me against the wall." Callie could only nod and do as she was told as her aroused brain was incapable of functioning on its own. Once Arizona felt secure against the wall with Callie's body holding her up, she lowered the hand holding the shower head and tapped a strong tan thigh encouraging her girlfriend to spread her legs. Feeling the movement, she tilted her hand down and turned it slightly, stopping when she heard the gasp of surprise fall from kiss swollen red lips. Understanding her girlfriend's intent now, Callie also lowered her hand that was holding the shower head and saw the moment she hit her target as the blonde closed her eyes and her lips parted slightly. As the steady stream pounded against her needy core, Callie began to thrust her hips into the jet stream and watched on as Arizona did the same. Slowly bringing her gaze upward, Callie's eyes took in the smooth alabaster skin tinged pink with the heat and her growing arousal. She watched as a lone drop of water landed on the blonde's collar bone and made a trail down her chest to the top of her right breast following the inner curve down toward her naval. Making sure not to shift her lower body, Callie bent forward and caught the drop of water with her tongue and retraced its path, licking around the curve of the plump pale breast, up her chest dipping her tongue into the notch at the base of her throat then began sucking and nibbling upward until she reached full pink lips. She watched as Arizona darted her tongue out to lick her lips and moved swiftly to catch it with her teeth and suck it into her own mouth.
Deepening the kiss, both women shifted so their breasts were touching and their mounds were nearly grinding against one another as they swallowed each other's moans of pleasure. Arizona pulled back and gasped for air as she threw her head back and fervently thrust her hips back and forth chasing her impending orgasm. "I'm so close Callie." Nodding her head as she lowered her free hand to grip her girlfriend's ass, Callie responded, "Me too, oh fuck Arizona, come with me baby." Arizona lifted her head and locked eyes with Callie as they both bucked forward and called out each other's names as the dam broke and their simultaneous climax overtook them. Keeping their hands still until the other woman rode out her orgasm, both shower heads were dropped at the same time and left to clang against the shower wall as the two women rested their foreheads together and breathed heavily into the small space between them. "Jesus Fuck!" Arizona rasped out causing Callie to chuckle, "You can say that again." As they slowly came back down, Callie turned Arizona back into the spray of the shower and carefully rinsed her hair while placing soft kisses on her forehead, her cheeks, her neck and back up again. When she was certain she had rinsed out all of the conditioner, Callie pulled Arizona into her body and wrapped her arms around her as she whispered, "I'm sorry honey, I just, I needed you so badly and I felt so close to you and…" Arizona cut her off and responded, "No Calliope, this was one of the most intimate moments we have shared in years and we will not be at all sorry for that." After a few moments, both women shivered as they realized the water had run cold. Turning off the spray, Callie kept one hand around Arizona's waist as she slid the shower door aside and reached into a cupboard next to the back wall of the shower pulling out three fluffy towels. She turned and draped one over Arizona's head wringing the water out of her hair, then wrapped another around her shivering girlfriend before wrapping the other around herself.
Making sure all the towels were secure and she had a good footing, Callie leaned down and carefully picked up her girlfriend smiling her megawatt smile when both pale arms instantly wound around her neck and a towel clad head rested on her shoulder. Moving into the bedroom, Callie went to the vanity, pulled the stool out with her foot, and gently sat Arizona down. Walking to her closet, she pulled out two robes, wrapped one around herself and dropped the towel in the laundry basket before helping the blonde into the other, helping her remove the towel and situate the robe more comfortably. Finally, she removed the towel from her head and tossed it in the direction of the basket before picking up her brush and running it through long blonde curls carefully detangling all the knots. Arizona closed her eyes enjoying the pampering and attention she denied Callie for so long. Opening her eyes, she looked in the mirror and saw all the love and devotion Callie felt for her shining out through her dark chocolate eyes. As Callie caught Arizona's gaze in the mirror, her knees nearly gave out as she saw the love radiating from cerulean blue eyes. In that moment, they both knew they were no longer falling in love; they had fallen.
