I never realized how hot he was until he started training me, even though everyone thought I was too young and fragile. I never noticed the muscles that bulged out of his arms when he was showing me how to defend myself in the new world. The apocolyptic world. And the way he always knows what others are thinking, but can hide all emotion from his eyes. He lives a very mysterious life. I have laid awake at night for weeks just thinking about him. To make things worse, we leave tomorrow on my first run. It is a two day trip. We are going alone, but the only vehicle we have is his bike. Yeah, that means I'll have to ride. With him. On his bike. Pressed up against him. And to think, I don't really need any help having impure thoughts about him. I've never been alone with him for more than a hour. Plus, I have never ridden a motorcycle in my life. Maggie and daddy don't want me to go, but they know I will be safe with Daryl. With that thought, I drifted off to a restless sleep.
I awoke the next morning with Daryl leaning over me. His azure eyes bore into my own. I saw his lips moving, but it took me a moment to hear what he was saying."Beth, Beth,... Beth get up its almost time to go." Even after I acknowledged his words, I couldn't seem to tear my eyes away from his lips for a couple heartbeats.
I jump up so that I can get ready, but in my haste, I got dizzy and started to fall. He caught me before I could hit the floor, his large hands gripping cautiously around my waste. We stayed like that, just staring into each others eyes for a few minutes. All I could think about was how handsome he was. And how lost I could get just staring into his endless eyes. It was like a deep, blue pool of liquid silver. The next thing I knew we were leaning into each other. When our lips connected, it felt like we were the only people in the world, and that the outbreak never happened. It felt like it was so right, it should be wrong. The passion put behind the kiss. Like he has thought about this moment for a while. Just the same as me. But it ended too quickly. As soon as I stood up he was gone, leaving me alone and confused.
I quickly got dressed, and headed out to meet up with him. Still confused about what had happened, I made my way down to the spot that he always parked his stylish Harley. He was there leaning against it with a blank stair on his face. I couldn't tell if he was thinking about what had happened, or if he liked it as much as I did. Like always, he was emotionless. But before, when we had kissed, I thought I saw something in his eyes. A burning passion.
"You comin'" Daryl asked, gesturing towards the bike. When he saw my hesitation, he chuckled lightly.
"You'll be fine." He assured.
I could tell something had changed between us. His lighthearted laugh didn't quite sound like it usually did, and I found myself both excited for the change, but wishing he'd go back to teasing me like he had before. He straddled the bike and leaned forward, allowing me enough room behind him to sit. It was going to be a tight fit.
I sat behind him, finding it slightly difficult to raise my leg high enough. When I was seated, a wave of confusion spread over me. Where in the hell was I supposed to grab on to?
As he started the bike, he looked over his shoulder at me, raising an eyebrow in question.
"Are you going to hold on?" He asked me.
"Where is the handle?" I asked.
Again, he chuckled.
"The only handle you have is me, sweetheart." He said, smiling mischeiviously.
"W-w-what?!?"
He waited patiently until I gingerly wrapped my arms around him.
And Fuck!!! He was ripped.
He kicked off on the bike, and there was a feeling of weightlessness before we started moving. It was exciting and scary at the same time. We wipped past the front gate of the prison and down the winding road. The way the wind felt in my hair was amazing, almost like I was flying. All the trees were a blur of green and brown as we passed them. We passed a few walkers on the road, but Daryl maneuvered the bike so we would not hit them. He kept to the back roads, so there were less walkers, but there were a lot of pot holes. So every time we hit a pot hole, I had to hold on tighter.
As I held on, I could feel all his muscles vibrating and flexing as he manuevered the bike.
We finally made it to the small town we were heading for. It was too late to go for suplies, so we looked around for a place to stay the night. We found a nice looking neighborhood with a nice looking house to stay in. We pulled in the drive slowly so as not to drwal too much attention to ouour position. He went in first to clear the house before I went in. When he called my name I went in and sacured the door. I started to turn around and almost had a heart attack because he was there. I never heard him come up behind me.
He was breath taking. His arms wrapped around me before I knew what was happening. He leaned in and kissed me for the second time.
We went to the living room and started to perpare for dinner. When he finally set down he said, "So... When is your birthday?" All I could do was look at him. All he did was say, " You mentioned during training that your birthday was soon." I was finally able to answers him after I got over the fact that he remember something I had not really said much about. " It is today actually." I saw a look of relief on his faceface. After dinner I later down on the couch. "So if you could have anything for your birthday, what would it be?" Daryl asked. I didn't even think about it before I answered, "You."
I turned over so that I could not see his face. It was silent for a few minutes, then I herd some movement behind me. I felt his hand on my sholder. So I turned to face him.
He pulled me up so that I was sitting up. leaning in he started to kiss me but stopped before our lips connected. "Are you sure this is what you want, because you could find someone so much better that me. I'm not worthy of you." He said as he pulled back. "You are the only one I want and I dont care what any one will say or what you say. you are worthy of me. If anything I'm not worthy of you. It is my first time and I would not want anyone but you. Please!" It all just feel out of my mouth before I knew it. Then he kissed me with all the passion in the would. I never wanted it to end but he pulled back and asked "Are you absolutally sure this is what you want?" I was to stunned to say any thing so I just nodded my head. he later me back and straddled me as we started to kiss. He was carful with the speed that he moved to make sure I was comfortable with every thing. I started to reach for his shirt and he stopped me saying,"Wait."
