A barnburner is a very good fight, one that is very intense and exciting, a real nail-biter. A fight that is so close it's hard to predict who will come out the winner until seconds before it ends.

*Cheese alert! Romantic shmoopiness will follow!*

Callie's POV:

I wake up to the feeling of your warm breath on my shoulder and a peaceful smile dawns on my face. I shift in bed so I can see you, luckily not disturbing your slumber. The white sheets pulled up under your armpits only barely cover your breasts. Your face is cuddled into the plush pillow as you breathe steady, evenly. Your hair is the messiest I've ever seen it, the curls jutting out in every direction. My heart fills with the sight of you and I can honestly say I've never seen anything more beautiful or vision more pure.

I hear you sigh softly as you shift fully onto your stomach, the covers exposing the expanse of your smooth back. I notice a white scar near the bottom of your back and I wonder how you got it. Maybe you fell off your bike when you were a kid, maybe you got it playing in the school yard. I smile as I picture a younger pudgier version of you with blond curls and a pink baby doll dress. I bet you were the most adorable baby. My mind immediately pictures you holding the baby girl I conjured up. I know you would make a wonderful mother. I force myself to stop my line of thought there. We've only been going out for a little over a week and I'm getting way too far ahead of myself. I just don't know how to slow down when I've never felt a connection like this to anyone in my life before now, not even Erica.

I can't help myself as I reach out and touch my fingertips to your upper back, lightly running them down the soft skin and angled plains before me. I watch your mouth twitch into a grin as you open those sleepy baby blues.

"Hi." Your hoarse voice whispers.

"Hey." I whisper back, afraid that if I speak any louder I will wake alone in my own bed finding this was all only a dream.

You roll over and arch your back as you stretch like a satisfied cat showcasing your nudity unabashedly. When you finish stretching you roll over and settle your warm body against mine.

"How long have you been awake?" you ask.

"Not long." I reply as I gently massage your scalp.

"Mmm that feels good." You say a breathy quality to your voice and I find myself wanting you all over again.

You pull back the covers and throw them off the bed as you crawl on top of me to straddle my hips. I lay there looking up into your eyes feeling completely at peace with the world, and then you roll your hips into mine.

I gasp at the suddenness of the movement as I feel my mouth go dry. You turn me on so easily I feel like I'm seventeen again. The grin on your face reminds me of the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland but only briefly because then your hands are on me and I can't think at all.

You lean over me and bring our bodies flush against one another as I feel the heat in my body rising. You kiss me passionately your tongue invading my mouth like it's the battle of Normandy. Little do you know, but you've already won the war. My eyes close as I feel your teeth biting my bottom lip as your nails scratch from my upper thighs all the way up my waste with just the right amount of pressure.

I gasp into your mouth my eyes still shut tightly as you slide down my body leaving trails of kisses in your wake. My skin feels like it's on fire everywhere you touch me. Your lips caress my neck and clavicle as you kiss your way between the valley of my breasts. Your hands cup them as you let your tongue glide along the underside. My breath catches for a moment before I remember to breathe again as I feel you nip at my stomach. My hips undulate beneath you as you orchestrate my movements like a symphony. I swear I can almost hear the music playing as you slide yourself between my thighs.

"Calliope" You call out to me and I must open my eyes to look down at you. Our eyes lock as your mouth descends upon my sex. The moment your tongue touches my slick folds I grasp at the sheet below me desperately.

Soon your fingers enter the equation and it's almost too much pleasure for me to take. I thrust against you my breathing ragged as I have to allow my head to fall back and my eyes to close once more. I feel my orgasm rush through my whole body as I grasp the sheets reflexively, my whole body taught. I cry out loudly in a keening wail of pure ecstasy as my body shudders and shakes.

My body ultimately relaxes and I'm filled with so many conflicting emotions I don't know whether to laugh or cry, so I do both. You pull yourself back up beside me and wrap yourself around me. You do not ask me why I'm reacting the way I am you just pepper my tearstained face with tiny kisses as your hold on me tightens.

When my toes stop tingling and I regain my equilibrium I reach out to caress your cheek gently. Your angelic face looks up from where your head rests against my chest and you smile at me with absolute love in your eyes.

I clear my throat and try to speak, about to tell you how much I love you but you stop me with a simple kiss. Tears have filled your eyes now as you shake your head, your curls bouncing as you do. Your smile conveys more than I ever thought possible.

"I know" Is all you say. And you do.

I never thought I would allow myself to believe in the possibility of forever again but as I lay there in your embrace I feel my heart mended. I let hope back into my heart as easily as I've given it to you. You did not need to steal my heart you just waited knowing it was yours already. I blink back the fresh set of tears coming to my eyes as I snuggle closer to you enjoying the silence and the feeling of happiness that had previously seemed so foreign to me. I really never thought I'd end up with a woman, but now I can't imagine not waking up next to you.
