A/N: More fluffy sexy time, then we will start to pick up the pace to see what life has in store for our girls.
Arizona adjusted the water in the massive two-person bathtub and added a few drops of sandalwood and lavender essential oils to the steaming hot liquid. Upon first glance this morning, she assumed this bathroom was identical to the one in the guest room, admittedly, her mind was elsewhere, and she didn't take in every tiny detail. The shower and sinks were similar and safety precautions were installed in this bathroom, but the tub in the guest suite was a walk-in and designed specifically for a person with a disability whereas this tub was not, although it was still altered and installed to be more easily accessible to her. She smiled as she saw both the length and the width were at least one and a half times the size of a regular bathtub and realized this was another one of her girlfriend's guilty pleasures. Callie always complained she could never find a bathtub that was comfortable for her because of her long legs and torso. In fact, before even moving into their house, Callie had an oversized tub installed, but nothing like this. Looking next to the faucet, Arizona saw a panel of buttons and pushed one to see what would happen. She gasped as lights appeared in the corners of the tub underneath the water. Pushing another, she watched as the color of the light changed from soft white to pink. Each time she pushed the button, the color of the lighting changed. Settling on a soft blue, she went to the door and dimmed the overhead lights. Hearing soft music emanating from an unknown source, she shook her head and smiled at how much thought Callie put into everything. Both bathrooms were truly a luxurious get away, a safe haven from the outside world. Feeling warm soft breasts press up against her back, Arizona turned to see a very naked Callie holding a bottle of wine and a single goblet in one hand and her cellphone, assumingly for the music, in the other.
Smiling, she wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's neck and brushed their lips together as she said, "I cannot believe this bathtub Calliope, it's so…amazing, you truly have created your dream home." Callie set the objects in her hands on the countertop next to them, wrapped her arms around the blonde's waist, and leaned down for a deeper kiss nipping and licking her swollen pink lips. Lifting her head slightly, she brushed a stray curl behind Arizona's ear as she said, "I found the house and did the renovating, but…it wasn't home. You…you and our daughter made it a home, now it's my dream home." Arizona's heart jumped at her girlfriend's words, she always knew Callie was her home and it thrilled her to know Callie felt the same way about her. Trying to fight the tears she knew were threatening to fall, Arizona whispered, "I love you so much." and leaned in to capture plump red lips, slipping her tongue between them without waiting for permission. Feeling the heat in her body begin to build, Callie broke the kiss and pulled back as she said, "As much as I am enjoying this, I believe I promised you a bath." Arizona nodded and leaned in for another quick kiss before preparing to get in the bathtub.
Arizona sat on the edge of the tub and started to remove her prosthesis then remembered it was waterproof and she could bathe in it. She sat staring at the leg that so strongly resembled her natural leg, hand hovering over the release point. She knew why her girlfriend suggested the shower; they hadn't shared a bath since her leg was amputated, something she had forgotten until just now. While she finally became comfortable enough with herself that she was willing to share her body with her wife, this…bathing, felt so much more intimate. When they were having sex, her wife was distracted and wasn't thinking about it, wasn't seeing it, wouldn't dare touch it, but in the bathtub, her shortened limb would be rubbing against her wife's fully intact leg, she would be sitting behind her staring right at it, no distractions, nothing to prevent her from looking at it, touching it. But that was the old Arizona, with her self-loathing and unfounded insecurities. This Arizona loved the person she had become, she accepted her body and its limitations and knew she would still have them no matter what technology became available. At the end of the day, this leg was still a substitute, a mask, one she no longer needed to feel confident and sexy, one she didn't need to wear for Callie to see her as desirable. Though Callie created it for her, she knew now she never intended for it to hide who she had become, to return her to 'normal' but instead to enhance her experiences, to give her a better quality of life. Recalling her girlfriend's earlier words, 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, she knew what she needed to do, what she wanted to do. It was time for her to give her whole self to Calliope. Looking up to see dark chocolate eyes watching her intently, Arizona understood Callie was giving her space to have her feelings and make her own decision and loved her even more for it. She knew in that moment, whatever she decided, her girlfriend would support her and not push the subject which only further cemented her decision.
Callie turned from the sink after collecting her phone, the bottle of wine, and goblet in time to see Arizona sitting on the side of the bathtub staring at her leg. She had been so confident up until now that when she suggested a bath instead of a shower, Callie didn't even think about the fact that they hadn't shared one in over 6 years, it was just ingrained in her to suggest showering rather than bathing. Standing off to the side quietly observing, Callie knew what was happening, the thoughts that were going through her girlfriend's mind. The couple had reached this point many times in the aftermath of the crash. Arizona wanted to try to get back to normal or Callie would encourage her to try and they would get to this point, Arizona sitting on the side of the tub and Callie waiting for a decision. During those times though, Arizona was holding an inner debate over whether or not to share a bath and the not always won, inevitably leading to hurt feelings and angry words. But now, today it was different, she knew they would share a bath, she just didn't know if Arizona would trust her enough to share her natural self with her. She could tell her girlfriend was trying to decide if she wanted to wear the prosthesis, in essence hide that part of her away and as much as she wanted to say something, wanted to tell her to take off the leg, to be her authentic self, to repeat the words she said earlier, she knew this was something Arizona needed to decide on her own and whatever her girlfriend decided, she would accept. She could only hope Arizona finally understood her purpose for creating the robotic limb, her true purpose. Not to make her who she was, not to serve as a replacement, not to make her 'whole' or fix her, only to provide a more effective tool to help her overcome the obstacles she knew the blonde faced every day in every facet of her life. She just prayed that her girlfriend no longer saw her as one of those obstacles, no longer saw her as someone from whom she had to hide that part of herself.
Reaching down to release the artificial limb, Arizona pulled it off and leaned it against the end of the tub. Smiling, she reached out her hand in silent invitation and her heart swelled as pale red lips stretched into that glorious million dollar smile and brown eyes full of love twinkled down at her as the strong tan hand reached for hers. Callie placed the items in her hand on the edge of the tub out of the way and stepped into the steaming hot water. Arizona shifted so that she now sat with her steady leg on the floor of the tub. Moving toward the back, Callie sat down, hand still connected with Arizona's and offered support as she gingerly lowered herself into the water and settled between her legs. As soon as she was settled, Callie wrapped her arms around her middle and squeezed tightly as she whispered, "Thank you for trusting me with this part of you." Arizona turned her head and smiled softly as she said, "Thank you for trusting that I would." She then leaned forward and brushed their lips together softly before turning in her girlfriend's arms and settling back against her.
Arizona rested her head on Callie's shoulder and closed her eyes enjoying her girlfriend's gentle touch, allowing the hot water to sooth her aching muscles as she listened to the relaxing music filling the air. She lowered her hands to caress the muscular tan thighs that were cradling her, savoring the moment, a moment she kept them from sharing for so long, a moment she never thought they'd share again. While there was a familiarity to it all, it still felt so new. Callie bent her head and placed a sweet kiss on the soft pale shoulder enjoying the contrast of the steamy hot water swirling around her, the warm wet body resting against her front, and the cool ceramic tub on her back. Reaching for the glass of wine she just poured, Callie took a sip and savored the taste of the chilled fruity liquid as it flowed over her tongue. Recalling their earlier conversation on the ride home, though seemingly out of nowhere Callie whispered, "You were there." Slightly confused by the statement, Arizona turned her head and raised a brow in question. Callie leaned up and grabbed her phone from the end of the tub as she explained, "At my grand opening, you were there with me." Still confused, Arizona took the glass from her girlfriend, held it in front of her and swirled it in the glass watching the liquid slosh up the sides before lifting it to her lips. She was in spirit, spent the entire day thinking about Callie, about how nervous she would be, looking for little news clips on the internet. Placing the glass back on the edge of the tub, Arizona turned slightly and noticed Callie was looking through the pictures on her phone. Apparently finding the one she wanted, she handed the phone over to the blonde. Arizona looked at the picture of Callie and Carlos standing outside the door of Fresh START and wondered what she was supposed to be seeing. At that time, Callie still had her long hair and it was styled in a French braid which was one of her favorite looks, she noticed she was also wearing the deep purple wrap dress she bought for her and smiled at the thought that Callie had indeed thought of her as she was preparing for the day. Realizing her girlfriend still didn't see it, Callie reached over and zoomed the picture even more until she heard the gasp. Whipping her head up, Arizona could only open and close her mouth as she searched for words. Looking back at the phone, Arizona stared at the silver chain around her then ex-wife's neck and felt tears come to her eyes. Seeing her girlfriend was speechless, Callie took the phone from trembling hands and laid it back in its place then lifted her hand to cover a soft pale cheek as she said, "I had an invitation made up for you, I placed it in the outgoing mail…I don't know how many times…I just…I needed you there, I wanted you there, but I didn't know how to ask, didn't know if I could. I was so nervous that day…" She stopped and chuckled at herself as she said, "I had to give a speech, talk about why this center was so important to me. While I was getting ready, I decided if I didn't have the nerve to ask you to be there, I could do the next best thing, so I styled my hair in the way you like it best, wore the last dress you bought for me, and put my necklace on. It…um…it gave me strength, whenever I touched it, I felt like you were encouraging me, telling me I could get through it."
Arizona leaned her head against Callie's shoulder and allowed her words to wash over her. They were sweet and made her heart swell with love. At one time, she may have been angry to hear this. Callie didn't have to be without her, she was the one who left. But now she understood why, now she understood love, or lack thereof really, had nothing to do with the reasons she left. It was like she told her father, they were lost and had to lose each other, lose everything to find themselves and ultimately, each other, again. Laying her hands atop the warm tan hands resting on her stomach, she linked their fingers and squeezed as she returned, "I almost came out for it. I figured if I didn't have the nerve to talk to you, I could at least be there, blend in with the crowd…I ah, I went through the entire process of ordering tickets until I got to the payment…several times. At that time, I didn't know you and…I didn't know you were single and I didn't want to cause trouble, I didn't know how I would respond to the flight, or if you even wanted me…" She was cut off by Callie's lips covering hers in a soft chaste kiss. Callie knew if she didn't stop the ramble it would go on indefinitely. Just the idea that Arizona had considered it, thought about being there, wanted to be there meant everything to her. Pulling back she said, "I wanted you there. I always want you by my side. So many things kept leading me back to you. So many…It's almost embarrassing that it took me as long as it did to find my way back." Arizona leaned in and placed a chaste kiss on her lips then said, "But you did find your way back, we both did. That's what's important." Callie nodded in agreement and bent her head for another kiss.
What was meant to be a chaste meeting of lips, quickly turned heated as Arizona sucked on Callie's bottom lip then slipped her tongue inside and rubbed it against the roof of her mouth making her whimper at the warmth that spread throughout her body. Pulling the smaller woman to straddle her lap, Callie sat forward slightly so Arizona could wrap her leg around her waist, moaning when her still sensitive breasts slid against Arizona's hardening nipples. Tangling her fingers in damp blonde curls, Callie tugged lightly, pulling Arizona's head back and forcing their lips apart as she immediately began licking and sucking at the exposed skin of her girlfriend's neck. Arizona's left hand drifted up to scratch at the back of Callie's head as her right hand slid from her shoulder to her chest and caressed the side of her pert breast. Snaking her hand between their breasts, she pinched their nipples together causing them both to jerk their hips forward grinding their mounds against one another. Groaning at the exquisite contact, Callie continued sucking at the soft spot just behind Arizona's ear as she brought her left hand down to the small of Arizona's back pulling her closer as her right hand slipped between them to mirror Arizona's hand on their breasts and she too took their nipples between her fingers and rolled them together causing another gasp and bucking of hips.
Arizona turned her head and licked the shell of Callie's ear before sucking on her soft sensitive lobe causing her girlfriend to jerk forward yet again. Callie's eyes fluttered closed as she felt the electricity flow through her veins directly to her pulsating clit. Every tweak of her nipple, buck of her hips, bite to her ear or neck sent a rush of fluid straight to her core. Her desire was increasing by the second and she needed to touch, to feel, to taste. Biting down on the slick alabaster skin of her girlfriend's neck, she gasped when their centers came into contact with one another once again. Needing to touch more, feel more, she dropped her right hand to Arizona's curvy pale hip, caressed the thigh of her shortened limb, then ran her fingers along the crease between thigh and pelvis following it to the sweet juncture between her thighs and rubbed her hand against the bare mound. Arizona moaned at the feeling of Callie's hand against her sex, her body jerking forward involuntarily caused two fingers to slip between her lips. As she began to slowly slide against the fingers that were currently just resting against her inner walls, she too brought her hand down and slipped it between their bodies sliding her middle finger into swollen lips and circling the sensitive nub coaxing it from underneath its safe covering. Callie's head fell back against the wall and she adjusted their bodies so they could more comfortably tend to one another. Curling her forefinger up, she gently rubbed at Arizona's clit while slowly moving her middle finger up and down the crease a few times before circling the opening that even through the bathwater was dripping with need. She watched as Arizona's eyes fluttered closed and her mouth opened slightly as she slipped her middle finger inside her slick channel and held it still.
Lost in sensation, Arizona briefly forgot her own intentions and sat still for a moment while her body adjusted to the pleasant intrusion, her hand still resting between Callie's legs with her finger pressed against her clit. Placing her left hand on the strong tan shoulder for balance, Arizona raised herself up and slowly sank back down on the lone finger while gently slipping two fingers into Callie's tight opening causing them both to cry out. Rocking forward, Callie pulled her finger all the way out before adding her forefinger and sliding them both inside the velvety channel once again. Arizona nearly purred at the delicious stretching of her inner walls and again raised herself up while pulling almost all the way out of her girlfriend and sliding back in as she lowered herself on Callie's hand at the same time. Callie rocked forward and leaned in to nip at Arizona's top lip as she whispered, "Keep doing that baby, you set the pace, ride my fingers while you fuck me." Arizona opened her eyes and held Callie's gaze as she continued the pattern of raising up, pulling out, sliding down, and thrusting in over and over until she set a quick steady rhythm that caused them both to scream out at the sheer pleasure of it. They continued to stare into each other's eyes as Arizona fucked them both. They'd had sex, well, made love, in the tub plenty of times, but never like this and not for a very long time. Usually, one held the other in her arms, spooning back to front while slowly pleasuring her. But this, face to face, eye to eye, water sloshing around them as the pace quickened, it was intense, more intimate, but it felt more raw, almost dirty. As if to prove the point, Callie encouraged, "That's it, baby, take what you want, fuck yourself on my fingers." Arizona clenched her jaw and ordered, "More!" then as if to explain what she meant, she added a third finger on her next thrust prompting a loud wail from Callie as she bucked forward then complied and added another finger as she pushed vigorously into the blonde's throbbing opening.
Callie's heavy eyelids fell to half-mast as she rolled her head against the cool tile wall and rocked her hips with each thrust of her girlfriend's fingers. She could feel the tension coiling in her lower abdomen, the tingling in her tight bundle of nerves, the clenching of Arizona's walls around her fingers, the pulsing of her hot channel, they were both so close. She watched as Arizona rose and fell against her hand, skin slick with moisture, breasts bouncing, face flush, head thrown back humming and moaning with each thrust, it was one of the most erotic sights she had ever seen. Unbelievably, even now, as she thrust into her girlfriend, as she felt herself clench around her fingers, her need grew immensely at the vision before her and she lost all semblance of self-control. She wanted more, needed more. Bending her knees slightly, Callie placed her feet and free hand flat against the bottom of the tub as she began thrusting harder into Arizona's slick walls while lifting her hips and chasing after the fingers that were pumping in and out of her own pulsing channel. Arizona looked into dark chocolate eyes and could almost see the exact moment when the switch inside her girlfriend flipped as the color of her eyes darkened to near black. Letting her gaze wander further, she noticed her sculpted jaw was clenched with determination, her breasts bobbing in and out of the water with each thrust, the consistent low growl radiating from somewhere deep within. She wanted more, needed more. Growling out between clenched teeth she ordered, "Fuck me Callie!" Arizona increased her own pace and put more power behind each movement as she slammed herself down on Callie's hand meeting her thrust for thrust as she pounded relentlessly into her girlfriend's pulsating opening.
Feeling hindered by their current position, Arizona stopped her movements, unwrapped her leg from around Callie's back and stretched herself out so she lay fully on top of her. Callie hissed out at the pleasure of Arizona's full body lying against her as the fingers inside her filled her more fully and she immediately wrapped her arm around the smaller woman's waist holding her close. Still holding each other's gaze, they began moving once again, both of them using their hips to add power behind each thrust. Arizona braced herself on the side of the tub with her free hand as she lurched forward and slipped her tongue into Callie's open mouth mimicking the actions of their fingers. Water splashed over the sides of the tub as their pace increased, their intense moans and cries of pleasure effectively drowned out the soft music. Callie slid her hand down to cover Arizona's ass as her middle finger slipped between the taut cheeks and pressed against the budded opening. She never ventured inside, it wasn't something they ever explored, but the added pressure always ramped Arizona up a notch and now was no different as her hips pounded against Callie's and her hand pumped into her more vigorously. Pulling out of their rough kiss, Arizona bit down on her collar bone before moving to her ear and sucking on her soft lobe as she breathlessly husked out, "Can you take more baby?" Callie groaned at just the thought of the delicious burn she knew she would feel both during and after. Biting down on the strong pale shoulder, Callie could already feel Arizona preparing her as she scissored her fingers inside her core.
"YES! More, harder, fuck me Arizona!" Pulling out so just her fingertips rimmed her girlfriend's opening, Arizona curled her fingers inward, straightened out her pinky finger and carefully slid the four fingers back inside the tight opening holding them still and enjoying the feeling of the heated slick walls gripping her and pulling her in further. Pulling back out and pushing in more firmly, she heard Callie's moan and asked, "Do you like that baby? Do you like me filling you like this? Do you like it when I fuck you Calliope?" Callie closed her eyes and arched her back as Arizona continued thrusting and extended her thumb to cover the hard nub at the top of her sex and gasped out, "Fuck! Yes, yes Arizona, only you can fuck me like this."
Feeling Callie's fingers curl and wiggle against her secret spot, Arizona bucked her hips wildly and screamed, "Fuck yes Callie, right there." Both women were lost in the sensation of the hot water sloshing against their overheated bodies, slick skin slapping against their own, nerves tingling, muscles tightening, hips grinding. Without thinking, lost in the pleasure, Callie pushed her finger through the puckered opening of Arizona's ass only to the first knuckle and was surprised when the blonde tossed her head back and thrust into the touch crying out, "OH GOD, fuck…shit that feels good." Arizona could already feel her climax approaching, every nerve in her body was thrumming, her stomach clenching with the telltale signs. When Callie's finger pushed into her from behind, the brief hint of pain was quickly overtaken by pleasure and she pushed back wanting more. This wasn't something she ever considered before, it never appealed to her, but holy hell the pressure of being so full just added to the intensity, added to the overwhelming need. Looking into desire filled brown eyes, she dared to ask, "More, slow, but…ahhhhhhhh fuck!" She wiggled against the finger that was slowly pressing further into her and let out a low keening wail. Callie was captivated by Arizona's response. She had never done anything like this before, they hadn't even talked about it, but fuck was it hot. Just as she pulled out and pushed both hands forward again, Arizona's screams echoed off the tile walls and she began thrusting relentlessly, determined not to go over the edge alone. Callie met each hard thrust and cried out as Arizona slipped her hand between them and pinched and pulled at her overly sensitive clit. Both women continued to pump their hands and roll their hips as their orgasms ripped through them and they screamed each other's names into the small steamy room.
Finally collapsing on top of Callie, Arizona carefully pulled out of her girlfriend and moaned in disapproval as she felt the fingers in her own core slowly retreat. Wrapping their arms around one another, both women were panting heavily from the exertion and still experiencing tiny aftershocks as their bodies periodically jumped and trembled. After long moments of only soft music and labored breathing filling the air, Callie tried to lift her head only to feel dizzy from both the heat and the intense orgasm, "Fuck, that was…" Resting her head between her girlfriend's breasts, eyes still closed, Arizona hummed softly as she said, "Hot!" Callie hummed in agreement and added, "Dirty hot." Arizona lifted her head slightly and smirked as she asked, "Who knew we could get so dirty while taking a bath." Callie chuckled making the water slosh around them as she responded, "Honey, we are talking about us here." Arizona laid her head back down on Callie's chest and absentmindedly started circling her now soft nipple with her fingertip as she answered, "True, remember the mess we made because someone wanted to try body paints?" Callie laughed out loud as she thought about the stained mattress and sheets after their first attempt at the sweet edible sex toy. "It was fine after we stopped trying to be Picasso." Arizona hummed in agreement and watched as the mocha bud became increasingly more erect and tiny bumps appeared on the areola. She knew she should stop, but she was always fascinated by how Callie's body responded to her touch. Callie could feel her body start to heat up, even as the water was cooling around them. Placing her hand over the soft pale fingers that were tending to her breast, she kissed the top of the blonde's head and said, "As good as that feels, I am getting hungry again and we still have a mess to clean up in the bedroom." Arizona nodded as she realized she was also getting hungry. Sitting up, Arizona wiggled her brows and asked, "Should we see if Joe's pizza is as good cold as Rocco's?" Callie stood in the tub and leaned over to grab the two towels she had set out earlier passing one to Arizona who had pulled herself up to sit on the ledge. After wrapping the towel around herself, Callie reached for her phone and responded, "Hmmm I could go for some cold pizza." With that, both women knew their sexual appetites would be tended to long before their actual physical appetites.
XXXXXX
After a hot and heavy make out session on the couch while waiting for the pizza to arrive only to carry it to the bedroom and toss it on the dresser and two more orgasms each, Arizona leaned over the side of the bed, dropped the pizza box on the floor and pulled herself back up as she asked, "Do I have to admit our daughter was right about Joe's right away?" Callie reached out and pulled her girlfriend into her side as she bent her head and stole a greasy kiss before saying, "I don't' think it's the place that makes the pizza so good, I think it's the amazing sex beforehand." Settling against Callie's chest, Arizona thought about it for a minute and realized she may be right, she can't remember the last time even Rocco's tasted so good. Pulling the covers over both of them, Arizona yawned and agreed, "Hmmm, maybe you're right, there's just something about eating pizza with you sitting across from me naked that makes it taste so much better." Callie chuckled letting out a yawn of her own as she said, "Now that we are both fed and sexually satisfied, how about we try to get some sleep?" Looking down as she felt the warm puffs of breath against her bare chest, Callie kissed the top of blonde curls and whispered, "I love you Arizona Robbins." Snuggling closer into Callie, Arizona murmured, "Mmmm love you too, Liope Torressss." Smiling at the sleepy slur, Callie closed her eyes and fell asleep almost immediately.
Callie awoke to the warm summer sun beating down on the bare skin of her back through the patio doors. Just from the heat and brightness of the room, she could tell it was late morning if not early afternoon. She wouldn't be surprised by either since they didn't fall asleep until after 3:00 am once they finally got around to eating their pizza. She was lying flat on her stomach while Arizona was on her back, the sheet slipped down and tangled around their waists at some point while they were sleeping. Her hand resting between Arizona's breasts and her leg thrown across the other woman's residual limb. She lifted herself up to rest on her elbow and just looked at the woman next to her, took in her beauty, watched the steady rise and fall of her chest. She flattened her palm between the two voluptuous breasts and focused on the contrast of her caramel colored hand resting against the creamy white skin that always amazed her. It reminded her that they were so different in so many ways, skin color, hair color, eye color, height, yet their bodies melded together perfectly, all their curves lined up in exactly the right places, Arizona's skin tone only served to enhance hers, while her hair color made the blonde hair appear to shine and sparkle, they shouldn't look good together, but they did, they complemented one another and even as conceded as it sounded, they made a stunning couple. She smiled at that thought, they were a couple again.
She still couldn't get over how…easy it all was now. Though it seemed they would never get to this point and everything was so hard for so long, it just felt like coming back together should have been harder, messier. Maybe they really were past all that, they had weathered the storm and were finally getting a break. She almost hated to think that because she worried that as soon as she did, it would be like saying it was quiet in the ER, as soon as you said it out loud, all hell would break loose. She remembered thinking at several points in their relationship that things were going too smoothly and she often went day to day waiting for the other shoe to drop. Worrying that something would come along and upset their perfect little world. It seemed as if that were the story of their life, things were good, then the baby talk and they broke up, things got good again and Africa happened, they got good again, then a truck came out of nowhere, then they were amazing and a plane fell out of the sky then everything was just…hard, even the good times were hard. They'd never returned to normal and that was the biggest part of the problem, she wanted her old normal and couldn't see that their lives would never be the same again and as hard as they worked to make a new normal, it just never happened. But now, they had finally found a new normal, sure it was new and exciting, but she could feel they were already building something better, stronger, more solid than they had ever built before. Even after all they had been through, she didn't feel the need to wait for the other shoe to drop, she wasn't afraid to face whatever lurked around the corner waiting for them because she knew they would face it together, they would fight together this time. She wasn't naïve enough to think they had found their happily ever after, life never worked that way for them, but she was wiser now and she knew life without Arizona Robbins and never wanted to know that life again, so she was determined to make the most of it. Do things they always wanted to do, things they've never done, try new things, experience life together, enjoy life together.
"You know, I could always tell when you were watching me sleep." Arizona grumbled without opening her eyes. Callie smiled and leaned in to brush her lips against her girlfriend's as she said, "That's because you were only pretending to be asleep." Arizona opened one eye and looked at the brunette sounding a little sheepish as she asked, "Caught that did ya?" Callie bent down for another kiss and said, "Every time. Do you honestly think I couldn't tell? I know your body better than I know my own. Then there's the whole being a surgeon, trained eye thing." Arizona blushed then and opened both eyes as she lifted her head for another kiss. Pulling back she said, "I was always afraid you were going to say some grand thing that would pop our bubble." Callie figured as much, Arizona was observant and knew her well, so she could tell when something was bubbling just below the surface and if she was afraid of it, she would avoid it any way she could. But now…she wasn't pretending, wasn't hiding, and she freely admitted to the minor transgression. Tilting her head she asked, "And now? What's changed?" Arizona lifted her hand to cup Callie's cheek as she answered honestly, "Everything. Everything has changed Callie. The way I deal with things, the way you respond to them, the way we interact, everything is different, easier, less scary. So, tell me, what were you thinking about?" Callie smiled and responded, "Exactly that to be honest." She then rolled over on her back and pulled the smaller woman with her so she was resting fully on top of her, hips cradled between her legs. They both hummed in pleasure, but stayed focused on the moment, the conversation.
Callie took a moment to gather her thoughts and explained, "I was thinking about how good it felt to be like this again, how easy everything feels. It's like all the bad stuff is behind us and as much as I know anything can happen at any moment, I'm not afraid anymore. I'm not waiting for the other shoe to drop or a truck to come out of nowhere or a plane to fall out of the sky. Maybe I'm not afraid because it has already happened, maybe I'm not afraid because I know we can survive it, but honestly, I think I'm not afraid because I know we will face it together, we will respond differently than we ever have before. I'm not afraid of the future as long as you are a part of that future and I don't want to be afraid. I want us to live our best life and do all the things we never did, go the places we always wanted to go to, be the people, the couple, the parents, we always talked about being." Arizona looked down into the eyes she loved so much and saw nothing but certainty, honesty, and love swirling in the deep brown pools of emotion and felt a warmth wash through her body. Bending down and brushing their lips together, Arizona lifted her head and replied, "I think that's precisely why I'm not afraid anymore. We've been through so much; we know everything we have to lose. Instead of being afraid to lose you, I want to savor every moment I have with you. I want to love you with everything inside me and let you love me, all of me. I don't want to hide from you anymore. I don't want to run anymore. I want to face life head on with you by my side, holding my hand, not walking ahead of me to protect me, and not walking behind me to pick up the pieces. I love so much about who we were, but I love who we are now, who we have the potential of becoming." Callie smiled up at her girlfriend, the love of her life and felt her heart expand. She was falling more in love every day and knew in her heart they would make it this time.
As Callie looked up at Arizona, she was nearly in awe at the way the sun shining on her made her skin glow, her eyes twinkle, and her golden hair shimmer, she was absolutely the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. Lifting her hand up to caress her smooth ivory cheek, she whispered, "I love you so much, I feel myself falling more in love with you every day." Arizona leaned into the gentle touch and lowered her head so their lips were almost touching as she breathed, "Show me Calliope. Show me how much you love me." She then lowered her head and connected their lips in a slow sensual kiss, keeping the pressure of her lips light as she slid her tongue against Callie's and allowed her to take over the tempo, allowed her to set the pace, silently offering herself up. Callie closed her eyes as their lips met, whimpered lightly as their tongues touched, and completely melted the moment she felt Arizona give up control. Keeping the kiss soft and languorous, she reverently slid her hands down Arizona's back, caressing the soft skin with her palms then the tips of her fingers. Sliding her hands lower, she continued to caress, to worship through the sensual exploration of her body. This was what she wanted to do last night, take her time, reacquaint herself with every inch of the smooth skin, every luscious curve, every hidden secret. Slowly rolling them so she was now on top, their breasts pushing against each other, her lower body being cradled by soft muscular thighs, she broke the kiss and brushed her lips down Arizona's jaw line as she whispered, "You are so beautiful Arizona, so soft, so sexy." Finally reaching her destination, the sensitive spot just behind the blonde's ear, she nuzzled it with her nose before kissing the area then licking lightly before she gently nipped at it with her teeth, then began sucking slowly with little pressure. She slid both hands down Arizona's shoulders, over her upper arms stopping at the crease of her elbows as she tugged lightly making the pale hands slide over her back until she was able to connect their hands, link their fingers and rest them on either side of the soft blonde curls that were splayed across the pillow.
Arizona was floating, her skin was tingling from Callie's gentle touch, the fire inside her was ignited but building so very slowly, it was exquisite. Her breath hitched as Callie began to slowly roll her hips, the movement so subtle she could barely feel their mounds brush against one another, nevertheless, she felt the wet heat start to pool between her legs. She wanted so badly to thrust against her, increase the pace, but she was reveling in the attention Callie was giving her and in truth wanted to allow her free reign over her body. Callie continued to lick and suck at Arizona's neck enjoying the salty taste, the earthy scent. Trailing wet kisses down the milky white neck, she stopped at the pulse point and pressed her lips against it, allowing herself to feel the increasing heart rate. Opening her lips, she licked then nibbled and finally sucked at the pulsing vein and smiled as the body beneath her jerked involuntarily. Lifting her head slightly, lips still brushing the pulsating nerves, Callie spoke softly, "I used to think about this spot, how I could feel your heart rate increase at my touch, how I can see what I do to you. I used to dream about kissing you here again." She then lowered her head and did just that, a little harder than before, eliciting a low moan from the smaller woman. Kissing a path to the other side of the blonde's neck, Callie repeated her actions on the pulse point there before sliding down further, licking a path between the blonde's breasts, hovering just above the ample mounds.
Callie looked down at the body beneath her, watched the other woman's bare chest rise and fall with each heavy breath she took, stared in awe as the light strawberry colored nipples hardened into tight peaks under her steady gaze. Resting her weight on her left arm, she brought her right hand down and splayed it between the pale breasts, observing as the alabaster skin became flush with arousal starting underneath her palm and spreading across strong shoulders, rising up the sleek neck and finally turning the beautiful face she loved so much light pink in color. Slowly tracing the path with her fingertips, she cupped the warm cheek in her hand as she said, "I love how your nipples get hard before I even touch them, how your whole body becomes flush with excitement, how your breathing increases, all just from me looking at you." Arizona watched her girlfriend from beneath lowered lids, the way she was touching her, looking at her, with all the love and adoration in the world, while her body was thrumming with anticipation, her reaction wasn't from the physical activity, from a sexual place, it was all emotional. Her heartrate, her breathing, her physical response all came from the heart because their connection wasn't just physical, it was spiritual. Slowly caressing her way back down, Callie covered Arizona's right breast with her palm and with a barely-there touch, began circling the hardened nub as she lowered her head and repeated the same light touch with her tongue on the other tight nipple. Arizona arched into the touch and whimpered at the sensation.
Callie closed her mouth around the turgid nipple and sucked gently while closing her hand and mimicking her movement as she tugged lightly at the other tight bud. As she pulled it further into her mouth and rolled the tight bud against the roof of her mouth with her tongue, she tightened her grip and rolled the other between her thumb and forefinger. She continued her attentions in the same manner, as her tongue licked, her hand caressed, as she sucked, her fingers tugged and rolled, as she bit and nibbled, her hand squeezed and kneaded. Stopping only long enough to shift her weight and switch sides, Callie started all over again, never increasing the pace or the pressure, enjoying each moan and whimper, each roll of the hips beneath her, each tug at her short, tousled hair. Feeling Arizona's body become tighter with need, the hand in her hair gripping her tighter, pushing her head lower to where the blonde needed her to be, Callie released the nipple in her mouth with a pop and smiled up at her girlfriend who was now panting heavily doing her best to glare at her through her lust induced haze. Settling her upper torso firmly between trembling pale thighs, Callie lifted herself onto both forearms as she soothed, "Be patient honey, I'll take care of you. You asked me to show you, let me just…let me love you." Callie lowered her head once again and began lavishing her taut abdomen with open mouth kisses, meticulously covering every inch of creamy white skin, all the while her hands were caressing and touching, arms, chest, breasts, reacquainting herself with the body she missed so much, the body she craved, making note of every twitch, every moan, every hitch in her girlfriend's breath. She smiled as she mentally predicted each response prior to her touch, raised her eyebrow in interest as she found new areas to explore, areas that would have to wait as currently she was on a mission, a mission to make Arizona hers, to claim her body totally and completely as her own once again.
As Callie kissed, licked, nibbled, and sucked her way down the blonde's body, she could smell the sweet arousal with each inhale. It called to her, enticed her to come closer, to lose herself in the glorious aroma, to delight in the salty sweet juices that were purely Arizona. Finding her lips grazing the soft tight patch of curls, Callie gave into her craving, decided to forgo the rest of her exploration, her intention to kiss and lick down one leg and up the other, choosing instead to lower her head and inhaled deeply, rolling her eyes at just the thought of lapping up the delectable juices that awaited her, that were produced just for her. Looking at the glistening lips, she gently parted them with the thumbs of both hands and watched reverently as the small opening to the tight channel pulsated and released a slow stream of the creamy fluid. Following the path it took with her eyes, she slowly leaned forward and stuck out her tongue, catching it just before falling to the sheet. Humming in delight at the exquisite taste, she brought her tongue up, flattened it, and in one smooth swipe of her tongue, effectively lapped up the sweet nectar that awaited her. Still focused on her girlfriend's moist sex, Callie whispered, "I've craved this taste, thirsted for the flavor that is uniquely yours." Her thoughts were broken by the pained whimper of her girlfriend, "Calliope, please." Shifting her gaze upward, brown eyes locked on blue, both darkened with arousal, one pleading 'I need you', the other reassuring, 'I've got you.'
Arizona was shaking with need, Callie was so close, so very close to where she needed her most. When she asked her girlfriend to show her how much she loved her, it had slipped her mind how thorough, how completely focused upon the task of pleasuring her the brunette could become. She was painfully aware now though, her skin was burning, her clit throbbing, her channel pulsing, her heart racing, her eyes begging. She almost cried in relief when Callie lowered her head once again and circled her needy opening with her tongue. Dropping her head back, she inhaled deeply and let out a breathy, "Yes." Closing her eyes, she allowed the pleasure to wash over her as Callie continued her ministrations. Callie slowly traced first the outer lips, then the smooth walls of her girlfriend's inner labia careful to dodge the swollen reddened bundle of nerves peeking out at her from underneath the safety of its protective hood. She could feel her own arousal building, her own clit throbbing, her own juices dripping only adding to her need to prolong her attentions, to give as much pleasure as she possibly could to assure her girlfriend had no doubt in her mind about her love for her, her need for her, her dedication to her. Flexing her tongue, she slowly entered the dripping opening, closing her eyes as she felt the muscles in the tight channel close around it, felt her girlfriend's mound push closer to her face as she bucked her hips at the intrusion, felt more than heard the low keening cry of pleasure.
Feeling the gush of fluid on her tongue spurred Callie into action as she finally quickened her pace, increased the pressure of her mouth as she licked and sucked relentlessly, determined to drain every last drop of the unique flavor from her girlfriend. As Arizona began to buck and writhe beneath her, Callie slid both hands underneath her, gripped her hips and tilted her closer to her face while effectively holding her in place. She growled out as strong fingers clutched her hair and pulled her closer still. Arizona felt the sound resonate throughout her body which caused another jolt of electricity to shoot through every nerve, every muscle. She tried to fight the grip on her hips as she bucked forward to meet each stroke of the talented tongue that was currently lapping at her with lightning speed. She knew she would have bruises, but she didn't care. The only thing she cared about right now was chasing the elusive orgasm that seemed to be resting just beyond her reach. Breathing through her nose, Callie continued to thrust her tongue in and out of the tight channel knowing Arizona needed more, wanted more. Laying her left arm across the rippling abdomen, she lowered her right hand and without warning, moved her mouth up to suck on her clit as she easily slid two fingers into the warm wet channel which immediately tightened around them. She smiled as Arizona bucked into her face once again and squirmed as she cried out, "FUCK Callie!" Keeping her pace steady, she thrust into her girlfriend while sucking lightly at the bundle of nerves until she heard the cries of pleasure increase in volume and scale. The low moaning whimpers became high pitched wails begging for more, pleading for release. As she scissored her fingers, making room for another, she slid her left hand upward, preparing to send her girlfriend flying. Feeling the muscles give, she added a third finger, tweaked her tight nipple, and bit down on her clit at the same time eliciting a scream unlike anything she had ever heard. Increasing pace and pressure, she continued pounding into her girlfriend, biting her clit, and pinching her nipple until the body beneath her jerked forward, stiffened, then bowed almost completely off the bed as she heard, "CALLIOPEEEEEE FUUUUUUUUCK, Fuck fuck fuck!" Finally the gorgeous body fell flat, though her hips continued to rock against the hand and tongue that were now completely still, allowing her to take what she needed.
As the ringing in her ears subsided and her vision came back into focus, Arizona looked up to see dark chocolate eyes shining down at her. Lifting her heavy hand to play with the soft stubble at the side of Callie's head, she pulled her down so their lips met, opening slightly to invite her girlfriend in, she moaned at the taste of herself on the other woman's tongue. Finally breaking the sensual kiss, Callie smiled at her girlfriend and said, "I love you Arizona." The blonde's dimples popped as she offered, "I love you too Calliope, let me show you." As she lowered her hand and covered her girlfriend's sex, she nearly gasped at the moisture she felt. She furrowed her brow when her hand was covered and her exploration effectively put to a stop. Callie bent forward and kissed at the slight wrinkle that formed on her girlfriend's forehead as she said, "How about you show me in the shower?" Arizona looked at her girlfriend in confusion until Callie explained, "I know we have a date tomorrow night, but I want to take you out today. Let's do something we always wanted to do and never took the time to actually do it." Arizona smirked as she said, "That's what I'm trying to do. I want to do you." She then wiggled her fingers to prove her point. Callie chuckled and said, "Oh, trust me, you will have plenty of opportunities for that. I just, I want to go out, show off my girlfriend, celebrate the fact that we found each other again." Arizona smiled at that and responded, "I would love to spend the day with you."
Callie went into the bathroom leaving Arizona to put on her prosthetic before she joined her. She turned on the water in the shower then pulled out both toothbrushes and applied the minty toothpaste. As she started brushing her teeth, her eyes bulged when Arizona appeared in the reflection of the mirror. She gulped slightly, nearly choking on the toothpaste at the vision before her. Arizona stood behind her, eyes closed, arms raised trying to comb through her tangled hair, breasts thrust forward, she was absolutely stunning. But that wasn't what caught the brunette's attention. While she was kissing and nipping at her girlfriend's stomach, she recalled something that was said the previous night that inspired her to… "Calliope Iphigenia Torres! What the fuck is that?" Concerned brown eyes snapped to the reflection of angry blue before falling lower and landing on the bright red bruises that formed the perfect 'C' right in the middle of the flat pale abdomen. Trying to hide the smirk, Callie shrugged her shoulders and replied, "You said you preferred it when I branded you with my mouth." Arizona's jaw dropped as she sputtered out, "So you what? Thought it was a good idea to put a big ass capital C in the middle of my body?" Callie turned then and said, "Well, I mean…I did at the time, but ahhh…now…not so much." Arizona huffed, "You branded me like a damn cow!" Callie burst out in laughter as she sidled up to her girlfriend only to be pushed away. "I can't believe you." Callie sobered up and tried to reach out again, happy that she wasn't pushed away as she soothed, "At least it's in a place no one can see." She leaned in then and kissed at the soft pale neck and asked, "Would you rather I do it here?" She yelped when the hair on the top of her head was yanked and her head was pulled back. Arizona tried to hide her smile as she said, "Oh no you don't! No more branding."
She looked down at the ridiculous artwork of her girlfriend and traced it with her finger. While Callie had marked her many times in the heat of passion, this was different, it was playful and silly and actually quite charming. She'd noticed this side coming out more and more in Callie and was captivated by it. Callie was always so serious, so intense, this was just so out of the norm and she couldn't help but fall more in love with this side of her. Callie noticed the slight smile and ventured to ask, "Are you really mad at me?" Arizona looked up to see a full bottom lip stuck out in a playful pout though the concern in the deep brown eyes was real. Softening, she smiled and leaned in to kiss the pout away as she said, "No Calliope, I will never be mad at you for claiming me as your own." Callie smiled her megawatt smile and said, "Good, because I believe you owe me an orgasm." She stepped back and swatted the blonde on her bare ass making her squeal before turning and walking into the shower. Arizona snorted and turned toward the sink to brush her teeth. She fully intended on carrying out her promise, but she was determined to make her girlfriend wait for just a bit longer.
