I Don't Want You To Leave But I Sure Love Watching You Go
Maria walked out the back door of Dirty Earl's bar at a quarter to eleven. She was tired and miffed, having worked three hours past her shift, thanks to her sister Faith and the Dixon boys. Grumbling under her breath she hunted in her bag for her car keys when a silky southern drawl interrupted her search, "Hey Girl"
She stopped short and sighed, "What are you doing here?"
Luke Brantley ignored her question. He leaned against her car door and smirked, "I saw you kiss him"
Maria's cheeks flamed, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Sure you do. You was all over officer friendly"
He studied her for a moment thoughtfully, "He ain't never gonna leave her. You do know that right?
You're just wasting your time."
She glared at him and bit out," It's none of your business!" She felt frustrated, angry at herself, Rick and most of all at Luke because she knew he was right.
He gently grabbed her shoulders and shook her, "You know I'm right. You're so tangled up in their jacked up relationship you can't even see something good right in front of you!"
Before she could retort his lips crashed down on hers kissing her hard. She kissed him back, their tongues touched and collided. The muscles of his back were strong and she felt thick hardness through his jeans. Her mind clouded and spun, she wanted him and yet…it didn't feel right. For a blinding instant she thought of Rick Grimes and how she felt about him.
"I…we can't" Shakily she pushed at his hard chest. "This is so wrong in so many ways"
His chocolate brown eyes flared angrily and she felt like a tease.
"Maria…"
She put her fingers to his lips, "Sssh…I'm sorry. "
Regret tore through her as she saw the hurt in his face. Her chin trembled, "You know you are just too damn good looking Luke Brantley"
He groaned but cracked a weak smile, "Is that 'spose to make me feel better?"
"It's a compliment and the truth."
He flashed a brilliant & mischievous smile, "This ain't over, not by a long shot. I aim to chase that man right out of your head, and get you in my bed. Sweet dreams darling"
Shaken she watched him saunter off. Her eyes trained on his thick thighs and delectable backside.
