Chapter 14: Returning to Service
6 MONTHS LATER
Callie has been going to therapy everyday. Her hardware was removed from her arm and leg a month ago and she was been making great progess at rehab. After that first night home, Callie couldn't sleep without Arizona and broke down, calling her before nights end to come home. Arizona came back and since that night, never has left Callie's side. Sure there were moments of frustration, but they always worked through them, together. Tonight, Mark and the gang are meeting at Joe's for the first time since Callie's injuries.
CALLIE'S POV
I'm really excited to go out tonight. Its been a tough couple of months since getting out of the hospital. I've been working really hard at my rehab, attempting to recover so I can get back to work. I know that I haven't been the easiest person to live with either. Arizona has gone above and beyond these months. She has stood by me, even after I told her I didn't want her here. She stayed when the pain was unbearable, and the depression was at its worst. She held me, comforted me, supported me, and nurtured me back to where I am now, able to use crutches to get around, and going out tonight hanging with our friends. I'm sitting on the bed watching her get dressed after her shower. I love watching her while she dresses. I gaze over her perfect breasts, and beautiful behind. We haven't had sexy time since I was hurt, mostly because Arizona's fears of hurting me. I have attempted numerous times to dispell her fears but to no avail. Tonight though, I have a plan to get Arizona drunk, and take complete advantage of her. Doesn't she understand what she does to me? I'm going insane trying not to throw her down on the bed right now. Control yourself, I keep repeating over and over in my head.
"Babe, seriously hurry up, we were supposed to meet them 20 minutes ago!" I said while she went to change her shirt once again. She is adorable when she is indecisive about what to wear.
"Calliope, I don't know what to wear, I like my blue sweater, but I don't like getting hot." Arizona calls out from the closet.
"If I remember correctly, the last time we all were at Joe's you were hot and wet" I answered getting up and manuvering myself to lean on the closet doors. "Darling, you look beautiful in whatever you wear, especially when your wearing nothing. Just put the blue shirt on and let's go, I need a drink!"
"Ok, but Calliope, your still on crutches and I don't think it's a good idea to drink too much. After all I can't carry you home."
"Mark can." I say as she finishes getting ready and I place a kiss on her lips. She quickly returns to finish getting ready. We finally head over to Joe's and find that everyone is already there. Mark sees us coming in and smiles broadly at us.
"Torres, Blondie! I thought I was going to have to send a search party for you." He comes over and places a kiss on my cheek as well as Arizona's. I'm really happy that she has accepted him as a friend. Between the two of them I don't think I would of had such a great recovery.
"Sloan, didn't I warn you before about kissing my woman?" I give him a punch in the arm as he pulls out my chair for me.
"I was saying hello, Cal. Jeez, wasn't like we used tongue!"
I say hello to the rest of the group. Lexie is sitting next to Mark. He smiles seductively at her as he sits down. Cristina and Owen are now together and they wave. Korev and his new girlfriend Izzy Stevens are sitting together, Meredith and Capt Sheppard are next to them. Even Bailey came out tonight. We all sit and Mark order our drinks. I grab Arizona's hand and bring it to my lips and place a gentle kiss to it. She smiles at me, and I just melt. I can't wait to get her home.
"So Callie, how is rehab going? I hope to have you back on the crew soon. The meals at the station have been really horrible, I think I've lost weight." Capt Sheppard laughs as he points to his stomach.
"Well sir, I'm hoping in another 2 weeks to be off these damned crutches and begin weight training. I really am looking forward to getting back soon." I say as I look over to Arizona who is looking down at her feet.
I know that we haven't discussed my returning to work yet, but even after everything I can't imagine doing anything else. I miss the rush, the guys, the smells. It's like I lost a piece of myself and I need it back to feel whole again. I squeeze her hand, getting her to look up at me. As I smile at her, I convey in my eyes that we will talk about it later. She nods and smiles back. The night continues with everyone making small talk. Arizona seems to be drinking faster then usual, especially after Captain's remarks to me. This of course is exactly my plan. She is laughing and finally seems to be enjoying herself. After several more drinks and Mark dancing with Arizona and Lexie, they all come back to the table.
"Callie, when your back up on your feet, we are going dancing at this new club downtown." Lexie said, before downing her drink.
"Most definitely, we will dance the night away. I can't wait to have you up and moving again." Arizona smiled at me.
I reach under the table and start caressing her leg. Slowly I move my hand up to inside her thigh. She glances up, meeting my eyes with a hint of longing. This is the moment I have been waiting for weeks. I smile a big grin and Mark catches on. He grabs Lexie's hand and makes his way over to me. Leaning in he kiss my cheek and whispers, "Good Luck Torres!" They say goodbye to Arizona and make their way out. I continue my mission of arousing Arizona hoping that she gets the hint I'm ready to go, in everyway.
Arizona slowly rose from her seat, the back of her knees pushing the chair away as she reached her full height and took a halting step toward Callie. "Really," she breathed, raising her hand to tenderly cup the brunette's face, her heart skipping a beat as she felt Callie relax into her touch. She stared, transfixed as Callie's eyes fluttered closed as she softly caressed her cheek. So beautiful. She used her touch on the brunette's jaw to gently lower herself onto Callie's lap, pulling her closer, to hold her close as she tenderly captured the soft lips she'd been dreaming about with her own.
Callie's eyes rolled back in her head at that first press of lips, unable and unwilling to stop the groan of pleasure that escaped her as she tangled her hands into Arizona's shirt and pulled her close her body responding almost embarrassingly fast to the blonde's touch.
Arizona sighed happily as she felt Callie respond so eagerly to her kiss, literally purred when she felt Callie's tongue tentatively lingering over her lower lip seeking entrance. She wasted no time allowing her to deepen the kiss, and moaned when she felt that first electric touch of a tongue shyly stroking her own. She felt her nipples stiffen almost painfully as the kiss grew more heated, more demanding, more passionate; felt her panties flood with arousal as Callie's hips pressed up needfully into her own.
Callie was the first to pull back from the kiss, gasping and wincing slightly at the effort to breathe. "Wow," she whispered, leaning in to rest her forehead against the blonde's, the pain in her growing weak at the sight of lust darkened eyes staring back at her.
"Mmm," Arizona moaned, a soft smile tweaking her lips as she pulled back to press a soft adoring kiss to the brunette's forehead, a happy bubble of laughter escaping her as she pressed her lips to that smooth delicate expanse of skin.
"What?" Callie breathed somewhat self-consciously.
"Nothing," she smiled. "I've just been waiting quite a long time for that kiss; forgive me for feeling a bit giddy right now."
"A while, huh? Well I thought you were becoming a nun!" Callie smirked, untangling her hands from Arizona's shirt to grasp her hand, shyly twining their fingers together as she pulled her in for a soft adoring kiss.
"Yes. Quite. A. While, you know I didn't want to hurt you." Arizona breathed, her eyes fluttering closed as she reveled in the sensations coursing through her body.
Callie stared at the woman before her, awed by her beauty and the soft contented smile lighting her face. She looked down at their joined hands and felt her heart skip a beat. Mine. She raised her free hand to tenderly brush the pad of her thumb across Arizona's kiss swollen lips, a fresh wave of arousal rolling through her body as the blonde's tongue darted out between parted lips to taste her.
"Goddamn," she moaned breathlessly. "I want you."
Arizona eyes flashed open and a delightfully wicked smile lit her face as she asked, "Are you sure? I don't want to cause you any pain?"
Callie chuckled. "Mmm," she leaned in to press another kiss to Arizona's delicious lips. "You have no idea the pain that I've been in trying not to rip your clothes off and fuck your brains out. If you don't take me home and fuck me right now Arizona, I might just have to call Mark!"
"Well," Arizona sighed dramatically, her eyes twinkling with amusement, "then I guess I'd better take you to bed. Cause I would kill him if he touched you."
"Yes." Callie agreed, Arizona tugging gently on her hand and leading her up out of her chair. "I think I most definitely need to take you to bed."
Both woman make their way out and quietly enjoy the ride home. Arizona helps Callie out of the car, rubbing her hands around her backside. Callie manages to pull Arizona in for another passionate kiss before hobbling to the elevator. Arizona keeps her arm around Callie for the elevator ride, making sure not to cause the Latina to lose her balance. They enter the apartment and shut the door heading towards the bedroom. Arizona helps Callie to the edge of the bed, discarding her jacket in the process.
Arizona noticed the way the Latina's previously molten chocolate eyes had cooled; no longer heated and wanting, they were now clouded with shyness and insecurity.
"Are you okay?" Arizona whispered, closing the distance between them and tenderly cupping the brunette's proud jaw between her hands.
Callie closed her eyes and relaxed into Arizona's touch, a small sigh of contentment escaping her lips as the blonde's thumbs began caressing her cheeks.
Callie opened her eyes to capture Arizona's gaze. "Yes," she breathed into waiting lips that were mere centimeters from her own.
Arizona smiled and moaned low and deep at the brunette's affirmation as she looked up at her through hooded lust filled eyes. She leaned in closer, closing the distance between their lips until they were only a inch apart, somehow finding the control to stop herself just shy of Calliope's lips that she was so desperate to taste again.
"Can I ," she whispered.
Callie moaned softly. "Kiss me."
Those two words were all the encouragement that Arizona needed. She wasted no time closing that small distance separating her from Callie, her lips hungrily claiming the brunette's as her own the very moment her plea had been whispered.
Arizona moaned as she felt the brunette's hands slide around her waist to pull her in closer, felt her heart speed with adrenaline as those firm decisive hands began slowly roaming her back, rubbing, grabbing, kneading every inch of flesh they were able to reach. She literally growled with need when Callie's hands slid over her ass to grasp her and pull her in closer, her hips eagerly pushing into the brunette seeking more contact.
Callie answered Arizona's wordless pleas with her own reverberating moans, her body responding wonderfully to the press of the blonde's hips against hers as she tightened her grip on Arizona's ass to pull her in even tighter. Balancing on one leg she fell deeper into the kiss, hypnotized by the feeling of the blonde's lips moving against her own, by the feeling of the woman in her arms rubbing against her, arching into her touch. More enchanting that the physical sensations were the sounds escaping Arizona. She'd never imagined the blonde to be so vocal and Callie found the gasps, groans and moans escaping her entirely captivating. It had been so long since she had heard these beautiful sounds. She needed more of this woman pressed up against her. Needed to touch more of her, to taste more of her.
Arizona whimpered pathetically when Callie's lips left her own, the needful cry turning into a low growl of pleasure as those lips began kissing their way down her neck. She turned her head as the brunette's mouth trailed slowly south, wantonly offering more flesh, wordlessly begging for more.
"God yes," Arizona moaned as Callie's lips hovered above her pulse point.
Callie smiled as Arizona's encouraging moan caressed her soul, the pleasured sound making her own heart race as she began to lick, nip and suck at the blonde's neck and her hands slid up over Arizona's hips, and across her stomach to gently slide over and capture her breasts.
Arizona moaned loudly at this bolder touch, eagerly arching her back and pushing herself harder into Callie's hands.
Callie pressed one last kiss to the sensitive flesh on the blonde's neck before she began kissing her way back up to recapture Arizona's lips in a searing kiss. She poured herself into the kiss as she roughly palmed and gently massaged the blonde's breasts.
Already dizzy with pleasure, Arizona felt her knees buckle slightly when Callie's thumbs brushed tentatively over her nipples. "Fuck, Callie," she gasped.
She felt Callie smile against her lips as she moved her thumbs back over that same path, heard the brunette chuckle when she reflexively twitched again under her touch.
"Don't be a tease Callie," she growled, unable to stop smiling herself as she again felt the brunette's thumbs stroke over her sensitive tips.
"You have been nothing but a tease for the past few months," Callie murmured as she dropped her hands to the hem of Arizona's shirt. "May I ?" she whispered as she tentatively tugged at the expensive fabric.
"Yes," Arizona sighed.
Callie groaned softly as she slowly slid the smooth fabric up over Arizona's head, literally moaned as she watched the blonde take a step back and remove her own bra. It was, hands down, the sexiest thing she had ever seen.
"Jesus Christ," the brunette moaned as she reached out to bring Arizona closer so she could capture a perfect pink nipple between her teeth.
"Mmm," Arizona moaned as Callie began sucking and nipping against her. "Fuck," she breathed as she felt the brunette's free hand cover her other breast and immediately begin pinching and rolling her painfully engorged nipple.
"You are so beautiful, I have so missed this" Callie growled, replacing her mouth with her hand so she could kiss Arizona soundly.
Arizona smiled into the kiss and quickly reached down to lift the brunette's shirt off over her head, her movements so precise that Callie's bra hit the ground seconds after her shirt.
"That's better," she whispered, pausing a moment to allow her eyes to hungrily rake the brunette's lithe figure before she lowered her hands to Callie's trim waist to gently lower her onto the bed.
Once Callie was sitting on the edge of the bed Arizona leaned in to kiss her softly, carefully applying enough pressure into the kiss to push her back onto the mattress. She pulled back to find Callie looking up at her with flushed cheeks and parted kiss swollen lips, but it was the brunette's eyes that had her breath hitching in her throat. They were dark and hungry, twin pools of desire full of liquid sex and promises. She was making sure there was no pain in those brown pools.
"Are you going to leave me here alone or are you going to join me?" Callie murmured, a small smile tweaking her lips as she laid on the bed and watched Arizona stare at her.
Arizona chuckled lightly and licked her lips as she leaned down to kiss Callie tenderly as her fingers deftly flipped open the button on her pants.
"Oh," Callie murmured as she realized what, exactly, the blonde was planning.
Arizona smiled at the way Callie relaxed into the mattress and allowed herself to be undressed. Nimble fingers slowly slid to grasp her zipper, carefully applying just the lightest touch against the brunette's mound as she pulled it down to its base. She traced random patterns on the small exposed patch lingerie causing Callie's hips to buck slightly into her before she wrapped her fingers around both the waistband of her pants and her panties gave them a gentle tug.
Callie groaned and eagerly lifted her hips enough to allow Arizona enough room to slide the pants down and pull them off, taking care not to cause pain. She could feel the weight of the blonde's gaze sliding up her exposed legs stopping to trace her fingers over the scars, and settling at her very center, could see the way Arizona sucked her bottom lip between her teeth to bite it as she openly stared at her naked form. When the blonde looked up her gaze was hungry. Callie sucked in a quick breath and tried to sit up to help Arizona undress, but was stopped mid-motion by a sly smile and a huskily whispered, "No."
Callie stared, transfixed, as Arizona slowly ran the fingers of her right hand over the top of her pants, back and forth, back and forth, for what seemed like an eternity before dipping down to flip open the button and push the material over her lucious hips. Callie watched the pants slide down past the blonde's hips but stopped tracking the fabric to stare at the beautiful figure standing before her, only the smallest piece of black lace left covering Arizona's flawless expanse of ivory skin.
Callie licked her lips as she watched the blonde's breasts sway slightly as she kicked off her pants, felt her stomach clench in anticipation as Arizona's fingers began slowly trailing over the top of her panties, felt a flood of arousal settle between her legs as she watched that last scrap of fabric fall to the ground leaving Arizona perfectly exposed.
"Beautiful," she observed softly, noting the way the blonde's cheeks flushed slightly in pleasure at the complement.
Arizona carefully lowered herself onto the mattress beside Callie, capturing the brunette's lips in a soft kiss as she carefully molded herself against her uninjured side.
Callie sighed into the kiss as she felt the delicate weight of Arizona's breast settle atop her own, groaned softly as she felt the blonde's fingers begin dancing up her stomach to palm her possessively.
When Arizona's thumb brushed over her nipple she broke the kiss with a gasp of surprise which caused the blonde to giggle softly before recapturing her lips. Callie rolled into the other woman, pulling her closer as she slid her left thigh between Arizona legs to press into her center.
"Mmm," she moaned softly as her leg came into contact with the blonde's wet folds.
Arizona moaned and pushed herself harder onto the brunette's thigh, her hips rocking slowly in time with their kisses. She trembled under Callie's touch as the brunette's hand trailed over her hip, groaned softly when she felt Callie's fingers slide over her mound to dip into her center.
"You feel so good," Callie whispered as she trailed her fingers through the blonde's arousal.
"Yes," Arizona groaned, her hips bucking violently when a wandering finger brushed over her swollen clit. "Yes," she hissed as she felt two fingers slowly fill her.
"Oh my God, you are so wet Babe," Callie murmured, pressing her forehead into Arizona's as she began slowly pumping her fingers into the blonde.
She felt Arizona's hips begin to move counterpoint to her thrusts as she increased the force and tempo of her steady plunge and retreat inside the blonde, felt the way Arizona was getting that much closer as she alternated scissoring and curling her fingers on each stroke. She leaned down and kissed her slow and deep as she moved her thumb over to gently circle her clit.
Balanced so precariously on the brink, it was that final touch that shoved Arizona over the edge, moaning into her lover's kiss as she was rocked into orgasm.
Callie smiled and stilled her thumb against the blonde as she slowed her thrusts and allowed Arizona to ride out her orgasm, tenderly removing her fingers as she felt the last spasm roll through her body.
Arizona opened her eyes to the sight of Callie smiling affectionately down at her and to the feeling of the brunette's damp fingers tracing indistinct patterns on her stomach. "Mmm," she moaned contentedly, tilting her head to kiss Callie softly.
Callie sighed and ran her hand up to palm the blonde's breast as she deepened the kiss which caused Arizona to chuckle and slide her own hand up to cover the brunette's and pull it away.
"What?" Callie murmured, her eyes hooded as she blindly searched for the lips she had been kissing.
Arizona smiled and pressed an adoring kiss to the brunette's lips. "My turn," she purred, gently pushing against Callie to get her to roll onto her back.
Callie groaned softly and allowed Arizona to move her back onto the bed, her jaw going slack as she felt the blonde begin laying soft kisses down her neck toward her breasts. She swore loudly as she felt a wet warm heat surround her nipple and hissed when Arizona began sucking greedily against her.
It was too much. Too much. "Fuck Arizona," she moaned. "So close," she practically sobbed, already so close from making love to blonde.
Arizona looked up and let the hard dark nipple fall from her lips with a wet pop. "Okay," she whispered, blowing softly against the wet flesh and pressing one last kiss to the pert nubbin.
"Mmm yes," Callie groaned as she felt Arizona begin to slide down her body, felt the tip of the blonde's tongue trace an unwavering line down her stomach and over her mound as she moved to where Callie so desperately needed her.
Arizona paused, taking in the sight of Callie's scars. Placing gentle kiss along them, Callie suddenly became shy, trying to cover herself and single tear falling from her eye. Arizona cupped the Latina's chin and spoke softly. "Baby, these scars are just a reminder of how much I love you, and how brave, and strong you are. You never have to hide them from me. I find each one beautiful."
Arizona settled herself between the brunette's legs and closed her eyes as she breathed in the deeply intoxicating scent of Callie's arousal, wrapping herself in the heady aroma of her lover's need before adoringly lowering her mouth to run her tongue slowly through slick folds.
Callie's eyes rolled back in her head as she felt Arizona turn her full undivided attention to her clit; the feeling of the blonde's tongue running soft and rough, slow and fast, over that sensitive bundle of nerves coupled with the sight of Arizona's head moving slowly, tenderly, between her legs pushed her to the very edge so that it took one, two, three more broad strokes from a flattened tongue against her to throw her literally screaming over the edge.
"Fuuucccckkkk Arrrr-iii-zzzz-ooo-nnn-aaaa!"
Arizona smiled against Callie's folds and pressed one last kiss to that sensitive flesh before sliding up the length of the brunette to kiss her tenderly.
"Wow," Callie husked throatily.
"Mmm," Arizona agreed, reaching down to pull a blanket back up over them.
"Wow," Callie repeated herself. "We need to do that again," she grinned goofily.
"Yes," Arizona chuckled, pulling Callie in tighter, enjoying the feeling of holding the brunette in her arms. "But, for now I'd just like to hold you if you don't mind."
"Mmm," Callie sighed as she relaxed into the blonde's embrace. "Okay," she smiled, pressing a kiss to Arizona's lips and slowly running her hands over the blonde's smooth skin. "But we really need to do that again."
"Mmm," Arizona murmured, leaning in to rest her forehead against Callie as her body once again began to respond to the brunette's touch. "Perhaps you're right. We have the rest of our lives, baby. I love you so much."
Both woman settled into a restful slumber, enjoying the feel of skin against skin. Both enjoying the matching heartbeats of their true love.
