Part 26
The next morning, Natalia woke up before Calleigh and laid there watching her sleep for the longest time before she quietly scooted out of bed and made her way to the bathroom. After taking care of her needs, she made her way past her still sleeping wife to the kitchen to start breakfast. Opening the refrigerator, she pulled out ingredients for an omelet and of course, Calleigh's bacon, but she also decided to have a little bit of fun with her and brought out some Canadian bacon.
Fixing the regular bacon first, she hid it in the oven and then fixed the Canadian bacon and started on the omelet as a tousled head Calleigh made her way out of the bedroom.
"Morning, sleeping beauty. Should've figured that you would be in here once I started cooking."
"Well, I smelled the bacon and didn't want it to get cold."
"Man, I could have sworn that I smelled bacon. We definitely need to pick some up later today."
Taking the plate over to the table, Calleigh sat down heavily. "I guess that I'll take milk this morning. So what time are we supposed to be at your sisters?"
"Hey! I thought that you said that we didn't have any?"
Calleigh watched Natalia walk away and couldn't restrain herself from letting loose a wolf whistle. To her surprise, Natalia turned and blew her a kiss. Laughing, Calleigh headed off to her favorite vintage store.
Walking in, she was greeted by a middle-aged Hispanic woman, who came over and hugged her.
"¿Srta Calleigh! ¿Cómo está usted¿" Miss Calleigh. How are you?
"¿Buena Maria y cómo es usted?" Good Maria and how are you?
"Bueno. Encontré algo que pienso que usted puede ser que tenga gusto. Cuando usted llamó anterior, sabía que tenía apenas el equipo perfecto." Good. I found something that you might like. When you called earlier, I knew that I had the perfect outfit.
Walking into the back room, Maria soon came back out carrying a white Armani pantsuit. As soon as Calleigh saw it, she knew that it would be perfect. The pants were tapered with a white satin stripe down the leg, and the tuxedo jacket was a single breasted, double button, with satin peak lapels.
Taking the suit from Maria, Calleigh took it into a dressing room to try it on. The pants were a bit long and the jacket a little big, but it was something that could be easy altered. Walking out, she stood before the fitting mirrors, twisting and turning to look at herself from all angles.
Maria stood off to one side with her hands clasped in front of her, smiling fondly.
"¡Ah, Srta. Calleigh! Usted es hermosa." Ah, Miss Calleigh! You are beautiful.
"Gracias Maria. Usted tiene razón. Este equipo es perfecto. ¿Puedo conseguir esto alterada por viernes?" Thank you Maria. You are right. This outfit is perfect. Can I get it altered by Friday?
"Sí, eso no será un problema. Tendremos que saber la altura de los zapatos que usted llevando." Yes, that will not be a problem. We will have to know that height of the shoes that you will be wearing.
Calleigh turned back to her old friend. "Si usted podría darme una media hora o así pues, Iré veo si puedo encontrar alguno para ir con él." If you could give me an half hour or so, I will go see if I can find some to go with it.
The woman agreed so Calleigh turned to go back to the dressing room when a flash of black caught her eye. Going over to a dress rack, she reached in to pull out a sheer black lace dress that was delicately embroidered with flowers and vines. Looking at it, she began to smile as she thought of the look on Natalia's face when she saw her in it. Taking it into the dressing room, she quickly got out of the pantsuit and carefully pulled on the dress. It fit perfectly, like it was made specifically for her.
Taking off the dress, she pulled back on her jeans, oxford shirt, and sandals before taking the dress and suit out to Maria.
"Tomaré ambos éstos y estaré detrás tan pronto como pueda con los zapatos." I will take both of these and will be back as soon as I can with the shoes.
Leaving the store, Calleigh quickly headed towards a shoe store. On her way, she was walking past a boutique when a mannequin in the window caught her attention. Turning around quickly, she went inside and asked to see the same article of clothing in her size. Taking it, she went into the dressing room to try it on and once again, she grinned as she thought of Natalia. This is the one she would wear to the wedding rehearsal dinner; the other would just be for her and her bride.
Getting redressed once more, she paid for the clothing and finally made it to a shoe store where she bought a pair of black four-inch shoes and a pair of silver four-inch ankle strap sandals. Going back to the vintage shop, she put on the suit and heels and stood in front of the fitting mirrors while measurements were taken and notated. Afterwards, she made arrangements to have the items delivered Friday morning. She paid for the clothing, thanked Maria, and walked out with her packages.
Looking down at her watch, Calleigh saw that she had a little over an hour left before she was supposed to meet her wife, so she decided to window shop. As she came up to a lingerie shop, a thought crossed her mind and a sly look crossed her face. Going into the shop, Calleigh looked around for a few moments before she found a couple of items that she liked, paid for them and left with a bounce in her step and a smile on her face.
As she walked into the store, she was astonished at all of the different styles, colors, and accessories that someone could get for a dress. She declined the offer of letting someone help her, preferring to look for herself. Finally, after twenty minutes or so, she found the perfect dress. It was an off white, floor length dress with spaghetti straps a simple dress with no sequins or embroidery; it was a classic in every way and it was just what she was looking for.
Taking it into a dressing room, she tried it on, hoping that it wouldn't need any alterations. It fit like a glove and she released a sigh of relief. Getting redressed, she took the gown to the register to pay and quickly walked out with her purchase. Walking out of the store, she headed towards the car so that she could put the dress in the truck so Calleigh wouldn't see it. On her way back in to the Mall, Natalia called Horatio to check on one of her gifts. He said that he would know something by the end of the week and would let her know before the wedding rehearsal. As she walked through the doors, she hung up with Horatio and called her friend Thomas to let him know what she had planned for Calleigh's gift. He thought that it was a great idea and agreed to contact a few of their mutual friends to help out.
Closing her phone, she headed towards the food court to get some ice cream and was surprised to see Calleigh standing in line at the Creamery. Walking so that Calleigh wouldn't see her, Natalia made her way so that she was standing behind her wife. Leaning forward, she throatily breathed in her ear. "So do you want some?"
Without turning around, Calleigh answered. "I always want some. In fact there are days that I want it all the time, like right now, it's all that I am thinking about, but I'm gonna settle for some ice cream and wish that I was licking something else."
Groaning, Natalia restrained herself from grabbing the blonde, spinning her around and kissing her senseless. Instead, she leaned back and murmured. "Keep that in mind for later and I'll show you how talented I am with cherry stems."
Calleigh went completely still for a moment, before she turned her head so that she could see Natalia's face. "I'm gonna hold you to that."
"I'd rather you hold me against something else."
Turning around so that she was facing her wife, Calleigh looked up into the amused eyes and slowly licked her lips. "Darlin', I'll hold you against something that's so sweet that you're gonna think that you've died and gone to heaven."
Natalia's eyes watched Calleigh's tongue as it trailed across her lips and her own mimicked it.
"Mmm, would you be embarrassed if I kissed you in a public place?"
Shaking her head, Calleigh took a deep breath while taking a quick glance around them. "No, I'd be embarrassed if you'd kiss me in a private place right now, but with all of these kids around, I'll take a rain check on the kiss."
Taking a deep breath, then a step back, Natalia cleared her throat. "Deal, but once we get in the car, all bets are off."
"Deal, now what flavor do you want?"
"Mmm, French vanilla, with caramel, pecans and Ghirardelli chocolate in a waffle come please. How about I go and get us a table? Do you want me to take your packages?"
"Ok, but no peeking." Handing Nat her bags, Calleigh enjoyed the view of her walking away until the counter person got her attention by asking her what she wanted. Turning around, she gave him their order, and then looked back to see if she could see where Natalia was sitting. She didn't have to search long, as it was like her eyes automatically knew where to look and was enjoying the beauty of her wife. So much so, that once again the counter person had to get her attention so that she could pay and receive her order.
Taking the cones, Calleigh walked towards Natalia's table and saw that she licked her lips. As she drew near, and handed Natalia her cone, Calleigh asked. "Here, this may cool you down a bit."
"Darlin', it's not stupid. It's kinda cute, but it's gonna be hard to sleep without you next to me."
"Why are we going to be nervous? We've already had a ceremony."
"I know that, but this time we're going to be in front of family and friends, instead of just Horatio and Alexx. I don't know about you, but I'm gonna be nervous."
Smiling the Duquesne smile, Calleigh tilted her head with her eyes sparkling. "There's nothing to be nervous about. We've already been through the worse part. We're just celebrating that we found each other and the love that we have with our family and friends."
"For loving me, for being beautiful, for... I don't know... for everything."
"Let's go over to my dad's house so I can ask him. I don't know why I am doing this, I know what he is going to say, and I'm just opening myself up for hurt."
From the car, they could see Kendall 'Duke' Duquesne sitting in a wooden rocking chair in the screen-in porch, sipping a drink.
"Are you sure that you don't want me to go up there with you?"
"Lambchop! To what do we owe the pleasure of your company? Your momma's here too."
"Hello Missy, it's been awhile since I've seen you."
Anna gasped as Calleigh brought up a hand to her face and holding out her other arm to warn Natalia not to come on the porch.
Not seeing Natalia, as she stood ready to charge up the steps, Duke continued his speech.
"Nope, nope, what you are going to do is drop this silly notion and get back with Jake. I know that he's not perfect, but you're not getting any younger and you can't be picky."
Spinning around, he came face to face with a fierce looking Natalia. "I don't care if you are Calleigh's father. That doesn't give you the right to hit her. No one hits Calleigh and gets away with it."
He looked at the young woman and tried to yank his wrist out of her grip, but was unable to. As he reached up with his other hand to start to pry her fingers open, he noticed the ring upon her finger. "What are you doing with my mother's ring?"
Calleigh pushed her way between them. "I gave it to her dad. Grams gave it to me before I left for college and told me to give it to someone special and that's what I've done."
"You had no right to give it to this… this woman. It's just not right and I demand that you ask for it back."
Gritting her teeth, Calleigh spat back. "I will do no such thing. I want her to have it and that's final."
Taking a step closer to his daughter, Duke threatened. "You go through with this Calleigh and you are no longer my daughter. You will be dead to me."
Shaking her head at her ex-husband, Anna quietly stated. "You're already the laughingstock of the family, Duke. You're a third rate lawyer, and a falling down drunk, whose daughter, the same daughter that you're threatening to disown has had to go pick up your sorry ass out of so many bars that the bartenders has her number on speed dial."
Dismissing him with a wave of her hand, she turned to look at the young woman who was standing slightly in front of her daughter. She stared at Natalia for a few moments, trying to judge what she observed in her manner. Then she asked. "Do you love my daughter?"
Calleigh stood staring at her father with tears in her eyes. "Dad, please understand. I love Natalia and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. Please don't force me to choose."
Before he had a chance to answer, Anna interrupted. "Your father is not forcing you to choose, Missy. He is the one doing the choosing and in the long run, he is only hurting himself. You go on with your life Missy and you'll be better off without him in it. Now go on, get out of here."
She walked the two young women off of the porch and over to their car. She hugged Natalia and then turned to her daughter. "I would love to come to your wedding if you will have me."
"Yes Momma. We'd love for you to be there with us."
Calleigh gave her mother the date and the time of the activities of the next week, in addition of telling her that Chance and Court were coming also.
Anna kissed them both on the cheek and stood by the curb until they drove away, before she turned back to the man standing on his front porch. Slowly she walked over to the bottom step and looked up. "Well, you've finally pushed away your only daughter, the one person who looked up to you. Do you have any idea what it took for her to come over here to ask you to go to the wedding? I know that she was pretty sure of what you were going to say, but she came anyway. I'd feel sorry for you, but I'm too damn tired of this. Good-bye Duke, I'm done with you."
With that, she walked inside, got her purse and car keys, and left without another word.
As the car pulled away from the curb, Calleigh reached out and laced her fingers with Natalia's. Looking out the window, Calleigh tried to swallow the lump that was caught in her throat. She still couldn't believe what her mother had done. She had never seen that one coming. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't realize that they were at their favorite beach until Natalia had stopped, turned the car off, and was opening her door.
Kneeling down so that she was eye to eye with her wife, Natalia reached up to caress her face and smiled as Calleigh leaned into her touch.
"Are you doing ok, love?"
Leaning her head back, Natalia groaned as Calleigh traced a warm trail along her jaw and down her throat.
"Baby, as much as I really want to continue this, and I really, really do, we need to head over to Cristine's. Later on tonight, however, I will remind you where we left off."
Getting out of the car, Calleigh cast a worried glance to Natalia. "Do I look alright?"
"Are you an angel?"
Kneeling down so that she was level with the child, Calleigh chuckled and softly answered. "No, my name is Calleigh and I'm a friend of your Tia's."
The girl stared for a moment longer before saying. "That's a pretty name and I know that your Tia's girlfriend. My name is Isabel, but I'll let you call me Izzy B if you want." And wrapped her arms about Calleigh's neck.
Without even thinking, Calleigh wrapped her arms about the young girl and stood up. Swallowing hard, she replied. "Well, it's nice to meet you Izzy B. And who's that with your Tia?"
With a flip of her hand, Izzy seemed to dismiss her sister. "That's just Eva. She's my older sister, but I'm smarter than she is."
Natalia laughed as she stood up, holding on to the older girls hand. "Seems like I have some competition."
Before Calleigh could say anything, Izzy chirped up. "It's ok Tia, I'll share."
Both women looked at each other and started laughing while they headed inside where they were met by Cristine and her husband, Andre. Cristine stood just a bit taller than Natalia, but had the same coloring. Her husband stood around six feet four inches tall, with a muscular body and a military styled haircut. Introductions were made all around, they walked through the house and out into the back yard to a stone patio where there was a grill, table, chairs set up, with a wooden jungle gym, and a trampoline set up in a corner of the yard. A pitcher of lemonade along with bowls of homemade salsa, chips, and sliced vegetables were on the table.
Calleigh went to put Izzy down, when she asked. "Can I braid your hair?"
"Isabel! Why don't you let Calleigh relax a bit before you start in on her?" Cristine admonished.
"No, it's fine. I don't mind at all." Calleigh interjected. "You can if you want, Izzy."
"Yeah." The little girl ran off to get her hair supplies while the adults sat down at the table to get to know each other.
Calleigh found out that Cristine was a dental hygienist while Andre worked as an aerospace engineer for a local airplane manufacturer. He was explaining more about his position when Izzy came back outside with a plastic makeup kit and dragging a stool. Calleigh stood to take the stool and asked her where she wanted it.
"Put it right there because I have to be able to move around you."
With a very solemn face, Calleigh put it down where she was directed and sat down. "Yes ma'am."
With eyes twinkling, Natalia watched as her love sat down and tucked her feet underneath the stool, then sitting up straight so that Izzy could start brushing her hair. She smiled as the young girl started chatting about her school and her favorite classes. And as she watched, Natalia began to imagine Calleigh with their child. That one thought surprised, then intrigued her as they had never discussed having children, but she knew that without a doubt that Calleigh would be a wonderful parent.
Calleigh was listening to Izzy tell her about her class nature project where they were waiting for butterfly larva to hatch. She then told the young girl about the butterfly conservatory that she and Natalia had gone to when they were in Key West.
Before she could go into greater detail, Eva came and stood in front of her. She was quite a bit taller than Izzy, wore glasses, and had a math book in her hands. She tilted her head to the side and studied Calleigh's face. "You've hurt your face. There are little marks near your eyes."
"Eva, that's not nice. You need to apologize to Miss Calleigh." Cristine scolded.
Holding up a hand, Calleigh waved her away. "No, it's alright." Turning back to the young girl, she praised her. "That's right. I was in an accident a little while ago and my face was hurt. You're very observant."
Eva looked over to her father, saying. "Daddy says that everyone should pay attention to other people, because you never know when they might become important to you. Can I ask you a question?"
"You can ask me anything you want."
"Are you going to treat Tia Natalia like Tio Nick did? He would yell and hit her sometimes and she would cry. You're not going to make her cry, are you?"
Looking at the girl, Calleigh could tell that she had seen things that she shouldn't have and had never talked to anyone else about it, judging by the looks on her parents and Natalia's face. Izzy stopped brushing her hair and came around to listen to her answer.
"Eva, I'm never going to hurt your Tia. I love her very much and I don't ever want to see her cry. So the answer to your question is, no, I'm not going to treat Natalia like that. I promise."
Both of the young girls stared at the blonde for a moment before Izzy went back to brushing Calleigh's hair and Eva just said. "Good." Then walked over to the jungle gym to read.
Natalia looked at Cristine and quietly asked if Eva had ever said anything to them about the past and they shook their heads. Both Cristine and Andre got up and went over to Eva to talk with her, while Natalia turned back to Calleigh and her niece.
"Isabel. Did you ever see Tio Nick hit me?"
Shaking her head, Isabel started to divide the blonde hair. "No, I was too little then, but Eva told me about it. She said that Tio hit you on the face once when she was at your house when you lived at the other place and he told her that if she ever told anyone, that he would hurt mommy. Eva figured out that since he was dead, he couldn't hurt anybody anymore, so that's why she asked Calleigh about it."
Getting up to go over to her wife and niece, Natalia knelt down and placed her hands on Calleigh's knees. "I need you to promise me something, Isabel. If you ever see or hear something that bothers you, I want you to promise to tell either your parents, me or Calleigh. We won't ever be mad or upset at anything that you tell us."
Isabel didn't stop braiding Calleigh's hair. "Ok, almost done… Tia?"
"Yes Isabel."
Fastening a rubber band around the bottom of the braid, Isabel took a step back to admire her work. "Are you going to marry Calleigh and what am I supposed to call her?"
A blonde eyebrow rose as Calleigh waited for Natalia to answer and silently laughed at the look on her face.
"Umm… Yes, Calleigh and I are getting married next Saturday and you can call her Tia Calleigh if you want."
Isabel came around to stand next to Natalia. "Ok, all finished. Do you want to play on the trampoline Tia Calleigh?"
Looking at the two of them, Calleigh could easily imagine Natalia as a child that age, and smiled as Isabel leaned against her wife and tweaked her nose. "If you want, Tia Natalia, you can play with us."
Tweaking the little nose in response, Natalia stood up and held out a hand to help Calleigh up. "I'll play with you two later. Right now I need to show your mom something so why don't you show Tia Calleigh how you can do flips?"
"All right!" And the young girl ran towards the trampoline, leaving the two women alone for the moment.
Not releasing the smooth hand within her grasp, Calleigh brought it up to her lips for a gentle kiss. "I bet that you were just like her as a child."
Natalia smiled. "My dad says that she's just like me and Cristine says that she sees me in a lot of things that she does."
Green eyes went wide when something came to her mind. "You've got your own 'Mini Me'! A Mini Talia. That is so cool… Oh Lord… I don't know if the world can handle two of you."
With that, Calleigh took off running towards Isabel, leaving Natalia standing there with her hands on her hips, laughing. Natalia watched as Calleigh stood at the side of the trampoline, praising Isabel in her flips and turns.
Cristine and Andre finished talking to Eva, sending her over to the trampoline to join her sister, and then Andre started up the grill as Natalia asked Cristine if it was alright for her to leave her wedding dress there. She, of course said that it was perfectly fine, as long as she could see it now.
"I thought that you would never ask."
Going out to their car, Natalia opened the trunk, and pulled out the dress when her younger sister Anya drove up.
"Hey! What are you doing here? I thought that you were busy tonight."
Anya walked over to Natalia to give her a hug, and then linked her arm through hers, and they walked back up the walkway to go inside.
"I thought that I should come over and give Calleigh some support. She was so helpful during that incident with the photographer that I felt that she might like someone in her corner. I'm sure that the girls are giving her the third degree."
Laughing, Natalia led the way upstairs to the extra bedroom where Cristine was waiting. "Actually, Isabel fell in love at first sight, and even told Cal that she could call her Izzy B. You know that Isabel hates that nickname, but she just came right out and said to call her that."
Going on to tell Anya the rest of what happened; Natalia stripped down to her underwear and carefully put on the dress. Turning so that Anya could zip it up, Natalia was able to see out into the back yard and watched as Calleigh climbed up on the trampoline and started bouncing.
Turning back to face her sisters, Natalia waited for their response to the dress and wasn't disappointed when they both sighed.
"I was thinking that I would have my hair up, what do you think?"
"Girls! Your momma wants you to go inside and wash up for dinner."
"May I have permission to come up?"
Climbing up the ladder, Natalia backed Calleigh underneath the canvas awning, out of sight of anyone else that might be looking.
With a predatory look in her eyes, Natalia growled out. "Do you have any idea how sexy you look when you play with the girls? I don't think that I have ever seen you this carefree before."
Sinking down to the floor of the fort, Natalia drew Calleigh down to her until she was straddling Natalia's legs. Pulling her wife snuggly against her Natalia slanted her head to run her lips down the exposed throat as Calleigh leaned back, offering herself to her love.
"Damn! All I want to do is to make you scream out my name, again and again, but we can't do that here. We shouldn't even be doing this, but I couldn't resist." Natalia murmured against peaches and cream skin, nibbling against the thundering pulse point.
Growling, Calleigh fisted her hands in Natalia's hair, clenched her jaw, and took a hard breath. Swallowing hard, she stared into the eyes of the woman who had stolen her heart.
Her voice strained with need, Calleigh forced out. "This will be continued later this evening. That you can count on."
"Later on is good for me... Very good for me." Clearing her throat, Natalia moved Calleigh slowly away from her center, whimpering softly with need.
Standing, Calleigh waivered for a moment, getting her equilibrium centered, before reaching down to help Natalia up.
"Let's go have dinner with your family, but let's have dessert at home. You promised to show me what you could do with a cherry stem."
As Natalia slid past her wife, she leaned in to whisper into her ear. "I have a very talented tongue that can do more than tie knots with stems and you know it."
Using the slide to get down, Natalia reached the bottom and turned to look up at Calleigh. "Are you coming or not?"
"At this moment, I'm not, but I will be later." Calleigh teased before she used the slide herself. She reached for Natalia's hand and they walked inside, holding hands.
Dinner was a loud, laughing affair as Cristine and Anya told story after story about Natalia and her exploits growing up. Throughout dinner, Calleigh had to stop eating because she was laughing so much. Finally, she threw up her hands and begged them to stop.
"Please no more. I haven't laughed this much in a long time and as much as I really enjoy seeing Talia embarrassed, and by the way darlin', red is definitely one of your colors, I want to be able to finish dinner."
Cristine leaned back, wiping her mouth. "We just want to make sure that you knew what you were getting into by marrying her. She can be quite a handful."
Holding up a finger towards the blonde, Natalia warned. "Don't say a word Calleigh. I know that you want to, but don't." Turning towards her sister, she playfully chastised her. "Please do not give her openings like that. You have no idea of the comebacks she has."
Trying to look very innocent, Calleigh pointed at herself. "Who me? I wasn't going to say anything… Ok, not much anyways, other than I like…" Looking at Natalia, Calleigh wisely stopped what she was going to say and took a bite of steak.
"Smart woman." Turning back to her sisters, Natalia threatened. "If you don't want me tell her about some of your past, you might wanna hush now."
The rest of the dinner was enjoyed and they were soon cleaning up the dishes and getting ready to go.
Isabel walked over to Calleigh and tugged on her arm. Calleigh kneeled down, asking what she wanted.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm glad that you are marrying Tia Natalia. You make her eyes smile."
Looking up at her wife, Calleigh saw that tears were glistening in her eyes. Turning back at the little girl, Calleigh whispered back. "I'm glad that I'm marrying her too, because she makes my heart smile. Can I ask you and Eva a favor?"
The little girl nodded her head as her sister came over to join them.
"Would you two like to be in our wedding? We need a couple of flower girls and are going to ask my nephews to be the ring bearers."
Eva piped up. "Do I get to wear a fancy dress?"
Walking over to stand next to the small group, Natalia explained. "Yes, you get to wear a fancy dress and drop flower petals on the ground."
That brought a smile to the young girls face while her sister frowned. "I want to carry the ring, I don't want to drop flower petals."
"Well then, I guess that we can start a new tradition and have a flower boy and a girl ring bearer. Whose ring would you like to carry? The one that Natalia will wear or the one that I will wear."
"I want to carry the one that you will wear."
Hugging the little girl, Calleigh agreed and stood up. Soon she and Natalia were on their way home. The ride was pleasantly quiet as both women were content with their own thoughts and they were soon pulling into their own driveway and into the garage.
Taking out her packages, Calleigh led Natalia into the house and into their bedroom. As she placed her packages on the floor next to the bed, Calleigh found herself spun around and pushed down on the bed with Natalia straddling her legs.
Leaning down, Natalia slowly unbuttoned Calleigh's shirt as she nibbled on the silky skin as it was exposed.
"I have waited all day to get you out of your clothes and I'm going to take my time to drive you wild."
Arching up, Calleigh moaned. "Aww fuck darlin'...shit...harder please."
"Ah, so sweet." Was all that Calleigh could think of as Natalia's essence filled her senses. Sliding in two fingers and thrusting in time with her own beating heart, Calleigh's own body began to thrum. Curling her fingers to stroke the tiny ridges, she gloried in the moans that were coming from above.
A hand fisted in her hair and tugged. "Get up here now." was heard. Giving a final lick, Calleigh crawled up the damp body until she was able to look down into Natalia's eyes. Never once did she slow down her thrusts or change her rhythm.
Reaching up, Natalia pulled her head down for a hard, hungry kiss, growling, as she tasted herself on her wife's tongue. Reaching down with her free hand, she found Calleigh's drenched center and filled her with one stroke, causing her to moan and press hard against her.
Gasping for air, Calleigh pressed herself up on her one arm and tried to focus on the face beneath her.
Dark chocolate eyes looked up at her before rolling back as Natalia finally fell over the edge right before she brought Calleigh along with her. Sighs and moans filled the air along with the heat of the lover's bodies. Repeatedly they took each other to spiraling heights, to be rewarded with an earth shattering release.
Finally, exhausted, they gingerly withdrew from each other and lay there, totally sated, enjoying the afterglow.
Turning her head towards her wife, Natalia let eyes drift over her face. A light sheen of sweat dampened her brow along with her golden hair, but Natalia was hard pressed to think back when she had looked more beautiful. Today had been an emotional day for Calleigh and Natalia was
thankful that her sisters and their family had taken her in so easily. Isabel was an added plus, giving Calleigh the acceptance that she needed. She was also thankful that Calleigh's mother had been there when she had asked her father. Natalia shuddered to think how it would have gone if she hadn't been.
Reaching over, Natalia gently brushed her fingers along Calleigh's jaw, causing her to turn towards her.
"Hello beautiful. Do you come here often?"
Natalia arched her back, pressing herself up against Calleigh's palms, moaning as her sensitive nipples were teased even more.
"Now I believe that I told you that I would show you just how talented my tongue is."
Nipping, and then soothing each spot with a lick, Natalia made her way to a pair of perfect breasts, to suckle and twirl around the already hardened nipples.
Tossing her head from side to side, Calleigh purred deep in her throat and fisted the sheets as her nerves endings went to high alert.
Calleigh's hips bucked up and a hand became entangled in caramel hair, holding her right there until her body suddenly went completely still, before tightening about Natalia's fingers and pulsating wetly. Fireworks exploded behind closed eyelids and heavy breaths were drawn. Finally a low, lengthily moan was released and her body seemed to become like liquid.
Giving a final kiss to the still pulsating nub, Natalia slowly withdrew from her wife to crawl up and gather her into her embrace while pressing kisses against her sweat-covered skin. Reaching out, she drew up a sheet to cover their cooling bodies.
Calleigh weakly tucked her head underneath Natalia's chin, listening to the heartbeat that matched her own. When she finally found her voice, she whispered. "Yes, that is a talented tongue. You had me in knots, but I didn't see any cherry stems."
Placing a gentle kiss against her forehead, Natalia murmured. "Picky, picky. Go to sleep love." And that's what they did.
