(Oh my gosh guys I'm sooo sorry my laptop broke so I couldn't write but I'm back and will be updating I swear! Thank you all so much for making this story so popular and for all the positive comments, I love all of you. Anywho back to the story.)
"No pull the shift ta the left!"
"This way?"
"No, dammit ah fuck watch out!"
"Oh God, Daryl I can't drive this!"
The truck yanked to a stop and Ray burst out laughing as Daryl clutched the dash board thankful his truck had survived.
"I'm sorry I almost wrecked your truck, honey."
He chuckled and leaned over to her pulling her head towards him for a kiss. She complied slipping her hand slyly into his lap.
"We gotta head back soon baby no messin 'round."
She sighed and instead leaned on him looking out at the country road. With such a blue sky and abundant fields it would look like such an amazing fall day. Her house which was where the group was staying at looked more like a boarding house now more than anything. Everyone was crammed into either the house or barn but it was manageable. None of them had ventured into town yet but they all knew that eventually a group needed to be sent out. Supplies were running low despite the couple of stray cows they had found and butchered.
"How's it feel coming back ta the homestead?"
"I'm nervous, scared I'll see someone from before who's dead or some people I don't like still living"
"Le's hope not. Now move so I can drive us back without killin anyone."
"You two get any driving done?" Rem asked from the porch.
"Yer daughter cain't drive stick worth a shit." Daryl teased.
Cars had been dumped and parked around the property to provide a level of protection, Ray had suggested using something to build a trench around it but that was still up for debate. There wasn't really a moment of rest except for sleep and even that was for a couple of people for a couple of hours. Lori was that exception no one really wanted her to exert herself too much because of the baby. She was starting to show her flat belly was developing a little bump that other women in the group cooed about and rubbed. She had taken to mostly domestic duties.
Ray on the other hand had become a good tool for the guys if they had a job they didn't really feel like doing or couldn't get to. Merle took advantage of this a lot. If a watch needed to be taken and someone was too exhausted it was given to ray, oh the guns need to be clean and rick was busy Ray and Daryl were up for the job, Glen has a Maggie problem and needs a few hours to 'sort out the problem' Ray would love to shovel hay out of the barn. But Merle he used his more efficiently.
If there was any job he felt was below his standards it was passed on to Ray and knowing that when the time came that she needed Merle she would have a reason to call on him. Right now he was yelling at her from across the yard to 'Come 'ere gurl!'.
"What Merlee?" she asked walking over (The nickname is pronounced Merley similar to Marley I think its cute and he would tolerate it ^.^)
"I aint fuckin' pullin no goddamn weeds. You women can do tha' shit."
"Well gee thanks." Ray rolled her eyes at him.
Ray was so exhausted from the heat and being bent over pulling that she didn't notice Rick walking up to her until he cleared his throat. She glanced up and caught his eyes examining his tired and anxious face. Oh hell she knew he was just hanging on by a thread. From whatever happened back at the farm with Shane and whatever was happening with him and Lori sure was taking its toll. He kneeled down next to her and was half ass picking more like pretending to get a chance to talk.
"I know it might be hard for you coming back here and seeing everything from before and I'll understand if you don't want to but we could use your help on the run tomorrow morning. Your mom and dad need to stay here and help keep things going and honestly you're pretty good on runs so you think you can give us a hand?" Rick asked gently.
"Sure rick but I don't know how safe everything is."
"Ya, that's always a problem huh?"
"You doin ok Rick? Maybe you should go rest for a little bit."
He shook his head and stood up walking away to where Carl was helping his mother with clothes. Ray followed his lead and got up stretching her achy muscles and heading for the house. When she walked into her room she was surprised to see Daryl going through her stuff.
"What are you doing?"
He jumped a bit and turned around holding a box of things she had accumulated over the years.
"Nothin' baby just lookin."
"Uh huh, go for it there's nothing really here for you to find."
He continued to sort through the box pulling out a few pictures of her from before everything went to shit.
"Ya sure did love yer sundresses." Daryl had a small smirk looking at the picture of a pretty, slightly chubbier Ray whose hair was in a braid and the flower patterned sun dress complimented her smile.
"I do get tired of these corsets sometimes."
"Why don't ya get one out and wear it fer today."
Feeling a little cramped in the blue and green corset she complied getting up and first opening her dresser to pull out a bra, grey with blue lace covering the outside. While undoing the laces she noticed Daryl lying on her bed with his hands behind his head and a smirk still on his face.
"Why gotta fuckin stare at me all the time." She mocked.
"Waitin for ya ta undress."
"What a pervert."
But the corset did come off and the bra did go on but before she could pull on the dress Daryl pulled her down to the mattress and ran his hands over body slipping one into her underwear. Ray arched up biting back a moan praying that no one would walk in. His fingers moved into her like her body was accustomed to and she thought for the first time that he had rarely ever gone down on her before. From the one previous and very short time he did she had felt something amazing. A hot slick tongue making your already wet flesh feel cool and the softness that comes with it, she was practically shivering from the thought.
But right when her mouth opened to ask him for it she was flipped over and her underwear pulled down. Daryl pushed himself against her with a groan they hadn't tried this yet and with Ray refusing to do anything without a condom Daryl figured this would be a good alternative.
"Daryl what are you doing?"
"I'm jus' gonna try something, it'll be ok."
But another memory popped up this one rougher than the soft tongue. An ex had, had her like this with the same excuse. Her blood ran cold and the memory bled into the present.
"I'll be easy with it."
Daryl was running his hand up her back and down to her ass.
"Sh, it won't hurt I'll be gentle."
He had his hands on her shoulders.
"It'll be good when we aint got a condom."
With his buckle undone Daryl tried wiggling out of his boxers.
"Come on you'll still be a virgin."
He grunted as he tried pushing his head in.
"Why ya fussin' baby?"
Daryl's hold tightened when she tried moving around.
"Stop freaking out or it's gonna be harder than it has to!"
He grabbed a fistful of hair as she kicked out and struggled.
"Ok, ok I'll stop calm down baby, baby shhh I'm sorry."
"God dammit stop it I'm not even hurting you!"
She couldn't take it anymore and yelled, "Stop!"
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
Finally she snapped back instead of the rough leather of a back seat she felt her pillow and warmth of a blanket and Daryl holding her. It wasn't the cold and shame when a car door slams leaving her crying in the back.
"I'm sorry Daryl I just-something bad came up when you tried. I'm sorry I freaked out."
"No baby I ain't like Merle, I do something you 'on't like tell me. I don't ever wanna hurt you."
Ray relaxed against him and pushed her face into his chest breathing in the woods and sweat that made him so intoxicating. She didn't care that dinner was ready all she wanted to do was nap in her bed with Daryl (even though it wasn't 'ok' for him to sleep there.). Plus if there was a group going into town tomorrow for the first time in months it was a good idea to get some well needed rest.
Ray woke up cuddling a pillow, it was just before sunrise. Typical Ray, her mind waking her up when it knows something important will be happening. For once she simply threw on a shirt over her bra and put on a thigh holster, back pack, stiletto hidden in her bust, and an extra knife in her boot just in case. The sun was just peeking up over the horizon when Ray came outside. A pink, orange color was blooming across the sky overcoming the dark blue of the night.
"Pretty huh?" Daryl whispered popping up behind her and grabbing onto her waist.
She gave out a surprised shriek and laughed as her rarely exposed tummy was tickled as she fell to the ground and felt like her bladder was going to give out. Glenn saved her luckily and came out of the door with an awkward cough.
"The chinaman saved ya this time." He grunted and helped her up.
The town team consisted of Glenn (as always), T-Dog, Rick, Daryl, and Ray leading them into it. The streets were quiet populated by a few walkers that looked obese and bloated trudging through the streets or simply sitting down. It was a very grotesque sight to see their ripping skin and black shredded organs dripping out leaving trails. But they were pathetic in attempts to attack, almost laughable.
With a couple different types of stores Ray thought there would have been lots of supplies but they were only able to scavenge which wasn't too bad since there were some towns nearby.
"This is bullshit, there should have been more than this. People in town must have hoarded everything we need to hit some houses." Ray grumbled stepping out of the store and seeing a walker trying to scoot over to her.
She recognized the fat, exploding thing as a person that was in her class, an athlete that had been quite fit. This was unsettling. Why was this thing exploding when most of the other walkers had been so thin? As Ray got closer it showed her why.
A spew of black insides blasted out of the things mouth and would have hit her if it hadn't been for someone pulling her back. Looking up it took her a second to realize that it was not someone from her group.
"Oh shit-" was the only thing that came out as she heard the yells of the guys and the man pulled her arms behind her.
"You really should have left this place alone." He told her with a tsk.
With a head butt to the nose and a kick against his knee he 'politely' let her go. Running back to the store she saw the guys trying to fight off a much larger group, she took the pistol from its holster and smashed it into a gumball machine, gaining attention.
"Everybody Calm the fuck down!"
A head popped up from behind a couple people and called out to her, "Rayna?"
The voice sounded oddly familiar. As he came closer she recognized him as someone she had dated.
"Daniel?"
"Holy shit you're alive!"
The feeling of seeing someone from before gave Ray a feeling of happiness so when he made his way upfront and hugged her she didn't resist. Daniel had always been tall with decent muscle, a surprise to her when they dated because she had been a little chubby but he would still playfully pick her up. From her weight loss and his muscle gain he picked her up completely off the floor.
"Put me down put me down put me down! You know I hate that!"
"You've lost weight! You look great."
She rolled her eyes at him, "thanks, it only took an apocalypse. Can you get your guys away from my people please?"
"Sure, hey guys they're cool back off."
When Daryl was released he stomped to her the old anger bubbling up like a snake about to strike.
"The fuck are you?" Daryl hissed.
"Easy Daryl, this is Daniel a friend of mine."
Daniel smirked at him, "you always did have a thing for older guys."
Daryl just wrinkled his nose at him a little bit and turned towards the rest of the group, "Vamanos guys getting dark lets head back."
Rick ignored him and walked up to Daniel introducing himself and asking about the town.
"Guessing you guys are staying at her house then?"
There was an awkward silence before Ray said anything.
"Look we don't have shit I live far enough out to where we won't have to see each other. Ok?"
"Hey, hey that's not what I meant we can join together. Bigger group means less problems and there's this other group close by that's trying to get us to go with him. Leader seems nice but I'd rather stand my ground."
"And I'd rather stand mine."
Ray stared him down and Daniel eventually looked away but told her that if she ever changed her mind the offer was open. The group left with a tense Ray and pissed off Daryl. When they got in the pickup Daryl was getting eaten up by the way he looked at her.
"So who was the guy?"
"An ex." She mumbled.
"He the reason ya flipped shit last night?" Daryl asked quietly flicking a glance at her unsure about how she would react.
Sure enough she tensed up looking surprised, "How did you?-"
"The guy was like a vulture lookin at ya, like Merle. Merle never took no for an answer. What happened?"
"Daryl I really don't wanna talk about it."
In a rare moment Daryl raised his voice at her, "I wanna know what the fuck he did to ya now tell me."
Not a yell just a raise of the voice to assert some dominance.
"You wanna know? We made out in the back seat but he flipped me over and tried fucking my ass. After I screamed at him enough and kicked he got the memo to stop." Tears silently sprayed her cheeks as she stared out the window.
There was a strain in the relationship now. Daryl was nervous, he had never had a relationship that went this far. He wasn't sure what to do to help her or help them for that matter. With the world gone to shit he figured they would go on surviving which meant fucking, being in each other's company, and helping one another. But this seemed like a normal problem, an old trauma that was brought back into her life by an ex. Fuck what was he gonna do.
"Baby, I, I ain't ever had this happen. I want ta help ya but I just cain't, I mean I don't know how."
"I'm fine dear, just shaken up I'll be ok."
"You best not be pullin' that shit with me that you pull with everyone else. Talk ta me."
She sighed, "I just have a bad feeling. That something horrible is gonna happen. Its not that I don't trust you sweetheart, you're one of the few I do trust. I know you wanna do more without using shit but it scares me to end up like Lori."
"You won't I swear, not fuckin our chances of survival up by gettin' ya knocked up."
Ray looked down at her hands biting her lips and deciding on what to do, she didn't want to keep up this fear.
"Let's pull over somewhere and try."
"Nah, don't force yerself to do somethin'."
"I want to get over this, come on."
Sliding across the seat Ray slipped her hand into his lap once more rubbing until his hard cock was forced to the side of his jeans and wetness started to seep through. Daryl growled but took a hard turn to an off road. After parking he pulled her into a hug rubbing her back sweeping a kiss across her innocently smooth lips. He pulled off the shirt and was about to take off the bra but she shook her head.
"Not for this babe."
He nodded respecting her decision but kissed down her collarbone and pulled a breast out anyway sucking and licking lightly before biting down. As always she gave out a moan pulling his head back up and submissively turning over to where her ass was up for him to look at. He wasted no time in pulling her shorts down and gazing at the round ass and wet lips that shown behind her thighs.
"You sure-"
"Don't you dare ask me that, just go."
He undid his jeans hoping that his pre would be enough lubricant. He pumped himself to get more rubbing his head against her opening. After he was pleased it was enough he pushed in slowly hearing her gasp and take hold of the door. The tightness made his head swim but it was as far as he could get without shoving. Attentively he grasped her hips began shoving himself in.
"Im sorry baby, almost there, almost there." He moaned while she whimpered, her cries completely silent to him from the pleasure that buzzed in his head.
Once in he pulled out to the tip and then shoved it back in with a loud groan, echoed by her muffled cry. Daryl looked down watching his cock move in and out of her seeing some blood smear across her ass but his body pushed him to finish even as she face planted into the seat with her arms wrapped around her shaking. No amount of shame could cover the amazing orgasm that now lay all over Ray's back and his chest.
To his surprise she giggled tiredly, "holy shit you popped my back so good."
For some reason Daryl couldn't stop laughing from that and eventually they were both laughing and holding each other.
(Just wanted to add a little character to their relationship and yes there will be bad things coming *insert evil laugh here*! Please go read my other Daryl fanfics Homeroom Hero and Favors and thank yous. Love you guys!)
