Daryl saved her life. When the prison fell to to the attack by the Governor and the horde of walkers, she wanted to find Judith but he told her they needed to go and so they ran. That was weeks ago. So far there was no sign of the others. Beth and Daryl searched together but the trail had grown cold. They kept they were camped in a relatively safe spot. Daryl swept the area three times; no sign of walkers.
"Think we're safe here for now," he said. He sat his crossbow down and sat next to Beth. She smiled and hugged him.
Daryl held on to her. He knew Beth was still grieving, having witnessed the Governor execute her dad and not knowing whether Maggie was all right didn't help matters any. He had gotten used to holding her while she cried,all the while remembering the first time she hugged was after the supply run. Her boyfriend Zack didn't make it."I don't cry anymore.I can't. I'm just glad I got the chance to know him Are you ok?"
"Just tired of losing people," he had answered her. Then she was hugging him and he felt something different. He wanted to take her in his arms, kiss her like Zack had kissed her before the run. At the time, he felt, well jealous was the word.
He looked at Beth, so delicate but at the same time showing a strength he didn't think possible given their situation. Then he did something he'd only dreamed about: he kissed her.
Daryl Dixon was in love with Beth Greene.
Beth couldn't believe it; Daryl was kissing her, pulling her into his arms. Over the last two weeks, he had held her quite a bit as she mourned her father. But this was different. The electricity she had felt that night in her cell when she hugged him was even stronger now . Something she never felt with Jimmy or Zack for that matter.
He broke the kiss, forehead pressed against hers.
"Beth I…" He didn't get to finish, her lips were on his. He pulled her tight against him. It had been so long since Daryl felt anything like this. He wanted to take her right there but first he wanted her to know before he lost the courage to say it.
He broke the kiss again, held her face in his hands.
"I love you Beth" He couldn't believe he was saying it. Daryl never said those words before to anyone. For a spit second he was scared, but then Beth's face lit up. She threw her arms around him, smiled at him .
"I love you too Daryl" His blue eyes lit up in a way she had never seen before and his lips were again on hers. She unbuttoned his shirt and ran her hands over his muscular chest.
He closed his eyes, sighed and pushed her back so he could undress her. She noticed his face turning red . So was Beth's. She was naked now and she allowed him to lay her back on the ground.
"You've never done it have ya Princess?" She loved it when he called her Princess. She shook her head. Damn but she was beautiful. He kissed her. "Are ya sure ya want to?"
"I want you Daryl make me yours"
He looked at her in the firelight, her long blonde hair glowing. Beth was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He kissed her , working his way down her jawline, biting and sucking at her neck as she moaned. He worked his way down to her breasts then stopped. He looked up at her , right into her eyes.
"You're mine now"
Beth moaned as his kisses trailed down her body. His. She was his. Daryl Dixon's. His touch sent waves of electricity through her body as he worked his way down. She closed her eyes.
"You like what I'm doing Princess?" He was again gazing into her blue eyes and Beth was drowning, lost. His kiss brought her back and she found she could barely speak.
"D-Daryl …." Was all she could manage.
He continued his slow, almost torturous exploration of her body. Slowly he parted her thighs, slowly kissing his way upward. Daryl was enjoying her reaction to his touch. It had been such a long time since he'd been with a woman and never one like Beth. Never one that he loved. Just the cheap sluts his brother Merle brought around.
She moaned as he put his finger inside her tight wetness. He felt her suck in her breath.
"You ok Princess?"
"y-yesss..no one ever t-touched me there," now his finger was slowly moving in and out.
"You're so tight you never even touched yourself did ya girl?" He already knew the answer to that. Leaving a finger inside, he used his thumb to gently rub at her clitoris. He knew she was close.
Beth couldn't speak. Then suddenly he stopped what he was doing with his fingers and she felt his hot breath and then his tongue. There. She couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't breathe and from far away she heard him.
"I can do this all day Princess ya taste so good mmmm" Now his tongue was inside her driving her insane. He could tell how close she was, her clit like a diamond on his tongue.
He wasn't exaggerating. He could do this to her all day, just listening to her sigh and moan because of him. In truth, Beth was the first woman he had ever done this to and he loved her reaction.
"Come for me Princess" and Beth let herself go. He could feel it on his tongue and when it was over he took her in his arms.
"My Beth…." And he meant it.
Beth moaned as his kisses trailed down her body. His. She was his. Daryl Dixon's. His touch sent waves of electricity through her body as he worked his way down. She closed her eyes.

"Come for me Princess" and Beth let herself go. He could feel it on his tongue and when it was over he took her in his arms.
"My Beth…." And he meant it.
"This is gonna hurt some Princess," he said , kissing her lips . Then she felt him spreading her legs "I promise I'll go slow," then he was pressing into her wetness. Beth moaned as he pushed once, then twice and she felt him inside her.
Daryl hadn't exaggerated. It did hurt a lot but she never wanted anything more than this. She wrapped her legs around his waist.
"You ok?' looking deep into her eyes , melting her, making her forget any pain.
"Y-yes baby oh yes" He started moving inside her, slowly at first. She was so tight and Daryl wanted her to enjoy every moment of this. He knew only too well this may be their only chance together. A thought he didn't think he could bear.
Beth felt like she was dreaming, had in fact dreamed many times of this very moment. Ever since the first time she saw him back at the farm , she had been attracted to him though she never spoke to him. And now he was inside her, his muscular arms holding her tightly. From far away she could hear his sweet voice moaning her name and she felt that beautiful blessed heat rising inside her as she rode the waves of pleasure . She came moaning his name just like in her dreams even as he was moaning into her ear.
Daryl wrapped his arms tightly around her and pulled her close as he felt her orgasm around him. He was ready to explode inside her. Then she whispered in his ear, sending him over the edge.
"Come inside me Daryl; I want to feel you in me"
A second later, she did.
He kissed her lips, unable to believe how different this was from the few times he'd screwed the sluts Merle brought around. Different because he was in love with her and she with him.
"Mine forever?" he whispered in her ear.
She looked deeply into his crystal blue eyes and kissed him.
"Yours forever",
And his lips were on hers again and they could feel the wonderful heat rise…..
He looked at her so beautiful in his arms. As beautiful as she was the night they had taken the prison. He came back from the bus with Carol and she had been singing for Herschel and he saw her really for the first time. Her voice was so sweet ; her song the most beautiful thing he had ever heard in his life.
He watched her after that night, not in a perverted stalker way, but the way someone does noticing for the first time a beautiful woman. Beth had matured so much since the farm, taking over full care of Little Asskicker , helping in any way she could. She was always so sunny and warm, even when it was dire.
When the prison fell, she would have continued to search for Judith , dying in the process if he hadn't stopped her and dragged her away. In truth, she was who he was waiting for.
He knew Carl had a serious crush on her, but she only thought of him as a kid. Daryl could remember telling her to look after him after Lori died and Rick went crazy for awhile. That was the first time he had even spoken to her and he almost couldn't get the words out.
It wasn't until she started dating Zack and every time he saw them kiss and it stabbed him in the heart that he was no longer able to deny what his heart already knew. That night in her cell when he told her Zack didn't make it and she hugged him, it took all he had not to take her in his arms and kiss her like he had been dreaming about for so long.
The only one who really knew what he was feeling was Carol who had become like a sister to him. Not long before the Flu had hit and they were walking the fence line she had brought it up.
"You really got it bad for her huh Pooky? "
"Don't know what yer talking about,"
"Uh huh you know she's looking at you too," Carol rattled a weak spot on the fence. "You should tell her how you feel. We're not guaranteed anything anymore," she put her hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah right" was his response.
They had been walking for days when they found the deserted town. The silence was eerie. Not a walker in sight. Still Beth and Daryl were very cautious as they checked houses for walkers and supplies.
"Looks like everyone left in a hurry," he said after they'd been through all the ones on the street. "We can stay here for now Princess unless ya liked one of the others better" He put his arms around her and pulled her close to his chest.
"No this is good," butterflies in her stomach . Daryl was kissing her, his lips moving down her cheek til he found her lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he carried her upstairs, never breaking the kiss.
The place was clear; they had searched thoroughly. After so much time in the woods, Beth was glad they'd have real shelter for the night even though she knew Daryl would die himself before letting anything happen to her.
He broke the kiss long enough to pull off her clothes, dipping his head to her breast. His lips were on her nipple and she moaned his name.
The sound of his name on her sweet lips brought the butterflies to his stomach. He sat her down on the bed, kicking off his boots and laying down his crossbow. He sat down beside her and just looked at her, his desire for her growing.
His eyes moved up and down her naked body. They were safe for the moment and he wanted to enjoy her, so many things he wanted to try with her now. She sat up to unbutton his shirt , running her hands over his muscular chest and Daryl moaned, closing his eyes. The bulge in his pants was huge and he stood up so Beth could unfasten them.
Since that night by the fire, they hadn't had much opportunity to get naked. It wasn't safe out there. Too easy for a walker or another group to wander in. That didn't stop Daryl from making her crazy every night with his fingers and tongue. Beth had never known it could be like this. It certainly hadn't been that way with Jimmy or Zack.
Now she really looked at Daryl up and down like he looked at her.
"Like what ya see?" he whispered and she blushed., nodding her head. His erection was huge compared to feeling Zack's through his clothes.
He gently pushed her back on the bed and leaned over her kissing her lips. "Been thinking bout what I'd do with ya once I got ya a real bed," kissing her slowly. He wanted this time to be perfect for Beth even though the first time had been amazing. Beth deserved it. Everything about Beth was perfect. Even after the prison fell, she never lost hope of the group reuniting. At this point, Daryl wasn't so sure. Cut off from the group, they'd had to travel quite a distance to outrun the herd. Now they were going in the opposite direction.. He wished he still had Merle's bike. No matter. Tomorrow they'd check the cars on the street, hotwire one .
"Mmmmmm " he moaned as he kissed and sucked on her breasts. She was running her hands on his back. On his scars. She touched them so lovingly, making him forget his shame and the echo of his brother's voice:
"No one's ever gonna love you but me baby brother"
Fuck you Merle
Daryl's sweet hot kisses were driving Beth insane and she moaned as he spread her lips open. Then his tongue was inside her. He felt her tighten around it, his name on her lips. Then he moved to her spot as he worked his finger in and out as she writhed and shook.
"Oh D-daryl oh s-s-hit d-daryl-y-y-yes" she shook as the orgasm overtook her, barely able to breathe.
He gazed on Beth's flushed, sweaty face until her eyes were on his, pulled out his fingers and put them in his mouth. "Taste so sweet baby girl," then kissed her deeply. "Ya ready for me baby?" rubbing the head of his cock on her dripping wet opening. She shuddered at the torturous pleasure as he entered her.
She was still so tight it drove him crazy the way it gripped him. Daryl tried to go slow so he wasn't hurting her but as Beth wrapped her beautiful legs around him pulling him deep inside her, he sped up his lips on hers, moaning her name.
"Beth …mmm Beth…," his voice was like honeysuckle and then he was exploding inside her, screaming her name even as she was screaming his. He knew they could draw walkers like that but he just couldn't help himself; she had that effect on him.
Daryl had never been much into cuddling, but he found he couldn't help himself with Beth. He loved how she felt in his arms, so soft and warm.. It made him feel safe. He never knew he could feel like that. Things had changed for him so much in the two and half years since the world went to shit.
Before the world ended, he'd been under Merle's control. Originally the two had planned to rob the Atlanta camp of their supplies. Merle's idea, always. But then Merle, always the ass, was handcuffed to the roof on a run in Atlanta. Rick had really had no choice that day. Merle endangered them all, shooting off his mouth and his gun. They never intended to leave him, but T-Dog had dropped the handcuff key and when they went back, he was gone. Sawed his own hand off.
Daryl had said "No one can kill Merle but Merle" and in a way that was correct. Merle died on a suicide to kill the Governor and save the group. He was actually a hero. But when Daryl had found him, dead and turned and eating the body of a kid, he put him down. He knew it had to be done but still it was his brother.
Now he could see clearly how abusive the relationship had been. In a way, his life had paralleled Carol's with her abusive husband. Now both of them had changed. He hoped she was ok. Rick had taken it upon himself to banish her when she confessed to killing Karen and Dave. Still Daryl didn't believe it and had the Governor not chosen that moment to attack, he would have set out after her.
Couldn't worry about that now though. Now he had to concentrate on keeping his beautiful, sexy girlfriend safe. Girlfriend? Daryl Dixon had never thought of himself as using such a dumbass term but that's the term that fit. He still couldn't believe she was his and he knew he couldn't take losing her. No. Not her. He had lost so much. His last thought before he fell asleep in her arms was that he would die to keep her safe.
******************************************************************8
Beth awoke with Daryl gone. She was used to it being the situation they were in. She knew he would never leave her anywhere alone but he would go check around .
She dressed quickly and went to find him.
He was in the kitchen. "Good morning Princess" sweeping her up in his arms and kissing her. His kisses always left Beth breathless and he sat her on the table.
"Good morning," she said once she could speak. She tried to get down but he wouldn't let her. Instead he kissed her again, unbuttoning her shirt. His sweet lips found her breast and she sucked in her breath.
"Daryl….."
"Shh…." Now his mouth was on the other and his fingers found the button on her jeans, She raised up to let him pull them off.
"Mmmmm Daryl…" his fingers found their way into her wetness, his tongue right on her spot. He stood up and unfastened his jeans, freeing his erection which was about to burst out and plunged into her delicious wetness.
"Beth…Beth," he moaned her name. Her legs were wrapped around his shoulders. He put them down, gathering her in his arms. She was kissing his neck driving him insane.
"Daryl..," she whispered her tongue in his ear, "you're mine forever" And with that he came , her name rolling sweetly off his lips .
He sat back in the chair, Beth in his lap facing him. He was still inside her. Beth lay her head on his chest and he buried his face in her hair.
"I'm so glad its us,' she said, "You didn't know I was dreaming about you even before we left the farm. When the prison fell I wasn't just looking for Judith; I had to find you Daryl I love you so much," . Beth was drowning in the crystal blue sea of his eyes.
"Well it was you I was waiting for Princess never would have left without you. And I wanted you too. The night in your cell when ya hugged me, I wanted you.," He kissed her again. "I'll never let ya go girl "
Daryl couldn't believe how much he loved her. How much she loved him, He never felt this way in his life. What he wanted to do was carry her back upstairs and just spend the day in bed with her.
But they needed to keep moving so they could keep ahead of the herd. One more kiss and he stood her up on her feet.
"We need to go on a run," he said as they dressed. "See what"s out there. We can come back here before it gets dark. Just so we know what's up ahead of us," He kissed her again.
"Come on Princess lets go find us some transportation," He went out the door ahead of her, crossbow raised. Beth was right behind him. They found some ammo for her though she hoped like hell they didn't need it.
They moved slowly even though the day before it had been clear. Daryl wasn't taking any chances. There was a black SUV two houses down. That's the one he was going to take. He didn't see keys in the ignition. Guess they'd have to hot wire it. Wouldn't be the first time .
He got the engine going and they started down the road. Beth had her hand on his leg. He reached down and grabbed it, brought it to his lips and kissed it. For the first time in his life, Daryl had something good, something truly special and amazing. Something worth living and dying for.
They drove out of town. It was about thirty minutes later they saw the sign:
EVERETT MALL 5 MILES
And spray painted below it:
GO BACK
Daryl stopped the car for a second. They stared at the sign for a moment.
"Should we check it out?" Beth wasn't afraid not with Daryl beside her. Still she was concerned. At this point, it was the living that concerned her more than the walkers and it wasn't walkers who spray painted the sign.
"We need supplies Princess," taking her hand in his. He could see the fear in her eyes and he pulled her to him. Truth be told, he was afraid too. If anything happened to Beth, well he didn't know what he would do.
He wanted to spend the rest of his life holding her in his arms, but knowing they couldn't stay there out in the open like that, he kissed her forehead. "We're gonna get closer just see what's up. We don't have numbers so we'll have to careful. Not about to let anything happen to ya Princess I love ya too much,"
It shocked him how easy the words rolled off his tongue. Before Beth, he hadn't said those to anyone since he was a kid. But Carol had been right; they weren't guaranteed anything anymore. Definitely not time.
"I love you too Daryl and I'm NOT gonna let anything happen to YOU," His eyes lit up; he loved Beth's strength and her new-found attitude. During their time together since they escaped, he taught her a lot of things. She took to it really well. Beth was now an excellent shot both with the gun and his crossbow. He was hoping to find her one of her own. She looked so incredibly sexy when she practiced with it. It made him hard just thinking about it.
"Well lets go then," he kissed her hand again and started the car. This was going to be a problem and soon. Gasoline degrades after a while and none was being produced. Soon they'd be walking. He started the car.
The mall entrance was full of cars, their owners dead or turned. Daryl turned the engine off. They sat for a second scanning for walkers. They didn't see any but experience told them sometimes the walkers don't move so much until a living person comes close. That was how Herschel lost his leg when they took the prison.
"Come on, " he said grabbing his crossbow from the back. Beth got her gun she had been carrying since the prison fell and a large knife Carol had given her back about a month before the flu hit.
Quietly, the pair stepped out of the car, Beth slightly behind Daryl. He easily took down the few walkers they saw. At first after their escape they wondered about why they only saw a few scattered around. Best idea they could come up with was that most were with the herd in the other direction. Something was drawing them in the other direction.
They moved quickly through the lot .Just before they reached the door, three walkers emerged from behind a car. One tried to grab Beth. Without even thinking her knife was through its skull. Daryl , thoroughly impressed, took out the other two.
As they got to the front door, it swung open.
"Hurry up before you draw anymore," said the voice.
Daryl and Beth could not believe who it was.
Carol Peletier
Carol couldn't believe Daryl was standing there in front of her. When Rick banished her from the prison, she didn't know what she was going to do. But she knew she'd survive. And keep Lizzie's secret.
It wasn't Carol that killed Karen and Dave; it was Lizzie Samuels, one of the two little girls Carol had taken in. She had figured out that Lizzie had been cutting up rats. But she had a pretty good idea once they found out who did it that they'd be sent away so Carol was prepared when Rick told her he didn't want her there. As if he was any better.
She had wanted to come back to get Lizzie. She knew Lizzie was sick and the group wasn't prepared to deal with a sociopathic little girl. Rick wouldn't let her though and that meant she couldn't talk to Daryl.
Daryl had become her best friend, risking his own life to search for her daughter. It was more than that though. In many ways, his life had paralleled her own abusive past. And the fact that he was the sexiest person in the group didn't hurt. In some place far deep in Carol's mind, something she wouldn't admit not even to herself. She had feelings for him. Was in fact, half in love with him. She knew he didn't think of her that way and from the fact that he and Beth were standing in front of her holding hands she knew they were together.
Back at the time Daryl had left the prison with Merle, when she and Beth were looking after Little Asskicker, they had talked about Daryl.
"Aren't you mad at him for leaving?" Beth had asked her. "We need him we're weak without him," Carol knew Beth liked him a lot.
"Daryl has his code. Men like Merle Dixon get in your head," she told Beth. "I'm a different woman than I was a year ago; I'd like to believe if Ed Peleltier was standing here I'd tell him to go to hell….."
Carol had seen the look in Beth's eyes when she talked about Daryl. She saw that same look from Daryl whenever Beth was around. So she pushed her feelings down and let that coldness take over. Survival.
She actually thought she'd never see any of them again.
"Can't believe you're here" she said, hugging them both. Then it occurred to her how far away from the prison this is. "What happened?"
"The Governor attacked again The prison's gone. Overrun. About a month ago," Daryl said, holding Beth's hand again. "Don't know what happened to the rest of the group. Me an her escaped together been together ever since"
"What about the baby, my girls?" Carol was shocked . At the mention of Judith, Beth buried her face in Daryl's muscular chest.
"We couldn't find anyone after we got cut off . Now we're trying to stay ahead of them" He wrapped his arms around Beth, knowing how hard it had hit her to be separated from the baby.
"Well then come on I'll introduce you to the others," There were four people in the mall with Carol. Daryl looked them over. A couple kids about Carl's age, a guy and a girl in their early twenties. It was obvious that Carol was the leader right now. This was gonna be interesting he thought.
Showers. The mall had SHOWERS. Beth couldn't believe it when Carol told them. She knew they were both filthy. But upstairs in the security offices there was a shower and there was water and electricity.
"I'll leave you two to clean up" and Carol left the room.
She didn't go back downstairs though. She stayed in the hall to listen. And cry.
Beth and Daryl pulled off each others filthy clothes, locked in a passionate kiss. He picked her up and carried her into the shower his lips still on hers as they washed the dirt from their bodies. Their hands, lips, tongues all over each other. Beth kissed him all the way down and took him in her mouth.
Daryl moaned her name as she ran her tongue around the head of his cock. He pulled her to her feet . He leaned her against the wall kissing her deeply as he entered her and Beth moaned her pleasure in his ear. Not knowing that in the hall Carol listened to every moan tears streaming down her face.
