Here it is folks, the long awaited chapter 4. The title is as promised, I hope it amuses you. I decided to play it safe and not try to sneak it past the profanity filters. Shockingly things happen in this chapter that move the plot forward and have nothing to do with sex (even though the chapter is called AND MORE SEX). So without further ado here is the fourth chapter of Lady In Red.

Chapter 4 And More Sex

Meanwhile upstairs it became apparent that Merle and Sam were not going to make an appearance for some time. Daryl decided to make the most of the alone time he had left with Sarah. For now they were safe and happy and they needed to enjoy that while they could.

Sarah was sitting back thinking after her failed attempt at summoning her sister. No doubt mulling over her sister's reply to her frantic inquiry. Daryl watched her as she sat there. She looked so beautiful. It brought little Daryl a stirrin. He however did not have to wonder about what was going on down there.

Bitch had said his brother was doing naughty things to her and he believed her. Man had some skills in the bedroom. 'Bout the only skills he had, he used 'em often too. Always had some bitch or another lying around waiting to be fucked.

He figured that the real reason Merle went with him at all was cuz a Sam. Probably liked her for a while now. Merle never let himself have real relationships, he had relations but as far as his brother was concerned that was as far as it ever got.

Guess at the end of the world he just couldn't stay away from her anymore. Whatever the reason he was glad he was here with him, that they both had women now.

He didn't like to admit it but he liked it when a woman would hold him close, it made him feel comforted, at peace. He would guess that it was the same for Merle. They were better off, stronger, together.

Even though the world had ended; for the first time things were going right for the Dixon brothers. This was an end yes, but it was also a new beginning, a new world where him and Merle could finally be happy.

Shaking himself from his revelry, he brought his thoughts back to the present, back to his plan. If it was gonna work he would have to be very careful how he approached her.

He wasn't sure what the protocol was on this, if it was even ok with her. He'd find out soon enough, but first things first. If he was gonna screw the brains outta her he'd need condoms, a lot of 'em.

He needed to go back upstairs cuz that was the only place he knew that had any. He could just go though. It's not like she was paying much attention to him, she was off somewhere else, thinkin' about things.

Daryl moving to exit the kitchen brought Sarah back to reality. She asked him where he was going. He replied that he was going back to her bedroom; he forgot something up there and wanted to go get it. She let him go of course, just a simple in and out an then he could get to business.

When he got upstairs he debated a moment; then he decided to be safe and take 5. He split them up 3 in one pocket, 2 in another, pushing them deep into the pockets. He didn't want them falling out. Then he was off like a rocket; out of the room, down the stairs, back to her.

When he got back into the kitchen he was panting out of breath. She was bent over, getting something out of the fridge. She was probably seeing what she could fix for breakfast, fuck that. They had better things to do. The sight was getting him all hot and bothered; a lot of blood was rushing to his groin at the moment, there was that at least.

Deciding to surprise her a bit Daryl moved behind her silently. She hadn't yet noticed him when quick as lightning he grabbed her; draping his arms around her hips he pulled her sweet big butt into his crotch. Right to his rock hard cock where her derriere belongs.

She jumped a mile especially when she felt his erection digging into her ass but her held her in place right where he wanted her. Then she yelled at him which only amused him more. She began to struggle and that didn't help the situation any either.

He did let her go though. He backed up, hands at his shoulders in surrender. He expected his little hellcat to turn around and give him what for but she didn't. Instead she ignored him and went back to what she was doing.

It bothered him that she did that but that's probably what she wanted so he just sat down in a chair at the table. He was a patient man, a hunter. He would wait for the right moment and then he would strike.

*Lady In Red Don't Pull Away*

Sarah rustled about in the fridge going through this and that trying to figure out what to fix for breakfast. At this point she figured it was gonna be just her and Daryl.

Her sister and Merle might not come up until lunch. She was worried about Sam missing the meal but she was a big girl. Besides no doubt right now she was having too much fun to just hit pause and come up to eat. Not even for a breakfast of chocolate pancakes, biscuits, and bacon.

Sarah didn't know what to do except eat something so she'd be of some use later. She couldn't decide what she wanted though. Their fridge was packed with stuff that would soon go bad. She had too many choices and she had no idea what she wanted to fix.

Closing the fridge she went to the counter with some juice and fruit. She got a glass and filled it with juice. She drained her drink before placing it over by the sink and turning around to face Daryl.

She planned to ask him what he wanted for breakfast but she never got the chance. Before she could even open her mouth to voice her question he was on her pinning her to the counter.

*Lady In Red Don't Pull Away*

When she went to the counter he knew it was only a matter of time before she turned around. Fate was rewarding his patience and he would be ready to jump her as soon as she was where he wanted her.

She still wasn't paying any attention to him so she missed it when he tensed as she was getting herself a drink. Coiling his body preparing himself to leap at her.

His entire body tingled, sighing with relief as he trapped her against the counter with his body. Wanting to rile her a bit he said, "Struggle all you want honey, you ain't goin' nowhere, just makes it more fun for me." To her. It worked too, her eyes flared with fury at being captured.

"I'm gonna fuck you right here just like this." He didn't say it to make her mad or to calm her down even, he wanted her to know what he was up to. She didn't seem that upset though once she got it through her head that it was him. She calmed down a lot when he told her he was gonna fuck her, she even seemed into it.

He didn't know how it happened but all of a sudden they were kissing. Daryl loosened his grip on her substantially as she melted into him. Their kisses turning hungry, desperate as they began to move their hands, running them along each other's bodies seeking contact.

They devoured each other with hard, desperate kisses. The hands that had been caressing now began to pull at clothes trying to remove them so nothing stood between them.

Then he delivered on his promise, ravaging her right there against the counter. It was hot and intense but over quickly.

When he pulled away, she went to get them both a glass of water. He was sitting in a chair at the table when she turned to bring him his water.

Sarah walked to the table to give Daryl his glass, even though he didn't ask for one he had to be thirsty. When she got closer she noticed he was still naked.

She glared at him for sitting in one of her nice chairs buck naked after fucking her. God knows what that dirty man was getting all over that chair. The thought did not make her happy one bit, in fact she was about to rip him a new one. Instead she planted herself right in front of him and poured the water she was preparing to give to him all over his nasty redneck ass.

She tried to leap away but she wasn't fast enough, he managed to grab her around the waist and pull her into his lap. He was shocked that she would dump water over him for no good reason. When she struggled I his arms and began thrashing about to get him to let her go he knew she was mad.

He let her go, he knew from experience that if she was mad and he tried to hold her to him she would just get madder. She bolted from his arms but she stopped and slapped him before moving out of range of his arms.

Still seething Sarah picked up her clothes and put them on, right in front of that asshole.

*Lady In Red Don't Pull Away*

What the hell was this bitch's deal? I ain't done nutin' and she's all pissed at me. What is with this chick today, every five minutes she's getting' at me fur somethin'. I'm still horny goddammit! All I wanna do is screw her brains out and she's pissy about good knows what.

"Sarah, now don't be like that. Sit down and talk ta me. What did I do now?"

Sitting down in a chair next to him with a huff she barked, "Yur sittin' in my goddamn chair fuckin' naked and sweaty. That's what my fuckin' problem is you fucking animal!" at me. After she was finished she glowered at me growling low in her throat.

"Would ya stop growlin' woman? 'S not like ya can't clean the damn chair. All I'm doin' is takin' a breather before I fuck ya again. I know it ain't exactly mannerly but naked or not when a mans gotta sit a mans gotta sit."

Rolling her eyes she muttered, "Fine whatever. It's not like we're gonna be here much longer anyway might as well enjoy the comforts o' home while we got 'em."

Smirking at her I was glad she was getting over it. "Thanks fur dumping water all o'er me by the way, it was very refreshing."

Rolling her eyes as the edge of her lip tugged up she said, "That weren't what I meant by that and you know it! Damn redneck. Stop smirkin' at me I ain't ready to forgive you just yet."

That only made me smile more, she was over it and I was very relived. "Well git over here and I'll help ya wit that darlin'."

She groaned but she did crawl into my lap and put her arms around my neck so I could kiss her silly. I didn't at first. I gently pressed my lips to hers. She was still very mad at me god knows what I did but if I tried to go too fast I knew she would bite me without hesitation. So I eased her into it, slowly building up the heat.

I found I liked this slow kissing but soon I found myself deepening the kisses and running my hands along her body. After awhile I was pulling her clothes off so I could fuck her again. When she was naked and ready for me I took her hard against the table.

We stayed like that til the last shudders stopped, then I picked her up and brought her to the couch so we could cuddle sprawled out. I also wanted to fuck her there but for the moment I was content to lay with her in my arms.

Sometime later we were kissing again, just kissing, I wasn't trying ti fire her up just yet but I was really starting to like kissing. Apparently it wasn't just part of foreplay or something to do with your mouth during sex.

Last but not least I bent her over the arm of the couch for one last ride before I collapsed exhausted and spent on the couch. I almost fell asleep, I would have if my stomach hadn't asserted itself, reminding me of other needs. Sarah was hungry too so groaning I got up and dressed. Then I set about getting something to eat.

*Lady In Red Don't Pull Away*

Several hours passed as they tried desperately to postpone the inevitable. They had to leave, soon. It was everywhere, they were everywhere, the only way to escape was to go somewhere there was no people or little enough that they could just kill them all. Things were getting bad out there and staying in a town, even a very small one was suicide.

This didn't just happen yesterday, the first time anybody heard about it was maybe six months ago. Things had been happening for weeks even though it had just reached their little town yesterday. They were fighting a losing battle, the authorities were losing control at an alarming rate.

By the time 11 o'clock rolled around the four found themselves in the kitchen no longer able to hold their hunger at bay.

The girls weren't worried about the power cutting off, the house was solar powered and off the grid. They didn't want to waste the perishable food in their fridge as they were leaving the next day. They decided to use as much as they could today and clear out the rest.

They wanted to leave the keys, let anyone who found it use it. The place had electricity and all kinds of other stuff so that even though the rest of the world had gone to hell this was still a house, a home.

They cooked all the eggs, some scrambled, some hard-boiled so they could have them later. They made pancakes and waffles and biscuits using as much milk as they could, the rest they drank. They planned on taking the left overs with them and any non-perishables they could find.

They ate quickly eager to get to work, suddenly very edgy about staying. They packed up the kitchen first. Then moved to the pantry and on the girl's insistence the herb cupboard.

Once the guys realized how much stuff they were going to end up taking from the house, not to mention the planned supply run on the way out of town they decided they needed a truck. It had to have a hitch for a trailer so they could bring both bikes.

Time flew by as the went through the house looking for things they could use. They swept through the whole first floor. There wasn't much left on the first floor other than Sam's room and the library. Clothes and some personal things from the former, books from the latter. Then the guys went to get the truck while Sam and Sarah wrapped up the basement.

The guys were gone for almost two hours so by the time they returned the girls were upstairs doing Sarah's room. They grabbed a lot of things behind the guys' backs like lingerie and condoms and the gas mask.

Daryl and Merle had come back as they were finishing Sarah's room so they just sat and watched. They joined in while the girls did the bathroom and the linen closet. After that there was only one more room in the house. The practice/meditation room.

The girls just went to work, the guys looked around the room for a few seconds, no doubt wondering what it was for.

The room was simple and neat, spartan even with only a few clusters of decorations scattered about the square space. The only thing they could figure out was the ancestor shrine. There were Buddhas and various pieces depicting other deities but none of that was packed.

What the girls did pack seemed very random; candles, bundles of herbs, brooms, walking sticks and shorter ones as well. Knickknacks that were placed around the room and in cabinets.

When they were done Daryl and Merle picked up boxes to bring downstairs but the girls stopped them, there was another room. One Sam and Sarah affectionately called the armory.

*Lady In Red Don't Pull Away*

Sarah and Sam hung back observing as the Dixons hesitantly approached the closed door. At first they were shocked at the sight of so many guns and swords, after they broke from their stupor Daryl rushed into the room face lit up like a kid at Christmas.

Merle turned around and rushed toward the sisters, several things happened at that moment. The girls split up running in different directions when they saw the oldest Dixon barreling towards them, but it wasn't enough.

With such a small space between them by the time the girls realized what Merle was up to he was almost upon them. He was aiming for Sam but in the chaos of their attempt to escape he caught Sarah instead giving her a big fat kiss.

She did not like that at all, by the time he realized he got the wrong sister she was already trying to kick him in the nuts. He caught her foot before it could make contact but she just leapt up and kicked him in the head.

Daryl was still in excited little boy mode when he went to get his brother.

When he got back to the practice room all three were running around. Merle was chasing the girls in circles around the room. Daryl watched for a moment before clearing his throat to get their attention. Hearing Daryl they all froze.

Sam stomped over to the armory and began to pack things up. Sarah and Merle stayed put eyes wide like deer in headlights.

The younger Dixon shouted, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" He only got madder when Merle looked down in response.

Shaking his head he left the room heading downstairs to the kitchen. Sarah followed and they had dinner.

*Lady In Red Don't Pull Away*

Merle stared at the doorway to the armory he could hear Sam moving about and shoving things into bags angrily. He hesitated, he didn't want to make her more mad by going in there but whatever he did wrong he had to fix it and he couldn't do that standing out there.

He knocked on the doorjamb to alert her to his presence. Looking into the room he saw her working at a furious pace but strangely she didn't look mad like he thought she would be.

Never one to beat around the bush he asked her what he wanted to know, "Are you mad at me?"

She replied, "Nope, I just wanna get this done."

Breathing a sigh of relief he moved to stand next to her. If she wasn't mad he could get straight to appreciatin' her.

She was working on the drawers of one of the two work stations they had in the room. When she straightened to put something on the counter he went behind her and pinned her to the counter.

"This is a mighty nice room ya got here. It's got me all hot and bothered, I gots some appreciatin' to give ya cher."

Sam had no idea what to think, she didn't think, she just tried to escape. He was holding her prisoner and he was going to hurt her. In that moment of panic the man holding her lost his face, he was not a man she knew he was faceless. He was every man who had tried to hurt women, every one and no one.

When she started thrashing in his arms he knew something was wrong. He didn't know what to do to calm her but he figured trapping her wasn't such a good idea so he let her go and stepped away.

*Lady In Red Don't Pull Away*

She ran away screaming down to Sarah's room, hiding under the covers from her tormentors. Sarah was there in the house she had to be, she'd surely heard her screaming and was coming.

Sam didn't have to wait long before she heard feet running up the stairs. The relief she felt crashing through her was tangible. She didn't even care when she heard a second person following the first. She was sure the first person was Sarah but she didn't know who the person following her was, she thought it was a man though. As long as he was with her sister he was ok by her.

Just then the door opened and Sarah burst into the room. She stopped thinking and flew into her arms crying.

*Lady In Red Don't Pull Away*

Merle didn't know what was up but he sure scared that little woman somethin' fierce. He stayed put in the small weapons room, she started packing up guns and the equipment that went with them. Figured he should do something useful. He didn't know much about bows and nutin about swords.

The girls sure had a fine collection but he didn't know what they would want to bring or even how to pack a fucking sword. Freakin' crazy bitches had like a dozen a those funny Japanese swords. Then next to them were a bunch a shorter ones, some had matching patterns and he could tell the two were part of a set but there were two or three shorter ones who had no mate.

There were throwing stars adorning the walls as well, these girls were some kinda ninja freaks. There were other knives as well. Some were buck or hunting knives, some were decorative and ceremonial, the others looked like throwing knives. Most of them were displayed without their sheaths and he had no idea where they kept those and he didn't want to just go looking for them, who knows what else he'd find if he did.

He stuck to what he did know, guns. He had to spend awhile looking through the drawers of the workstations looking for the ammo and the things needed to clean and maintain them.

Before he knew it Daryl was coming in to tell him what happened.

*Lady In Red Don't Pull Away*

When he got to the armory Daryl saw that Merle had packed a large number of guns and everything that went with them. He busied himself while he was waiting which was good but it worried him too. If he was so worried he should have followed her to at least see if she was ok.

He walked quietly into the room, Merle kept on working. It seemed he hadn't noticed him yet, he gave no sign that he did, he just kept working. It was actually kind of funny considering his reputation. Guess he didn't know what else to do, sure didn't want to make it worse so he stayed here.

Daryl cleared his throat announcing his presence. He turned around but his eyes were far away and sad. Then the moment passed and the mask shifted over his eyes, the old Merle was back. Cold and distant, looking into his eyes Daryl didn't see a shred of concern, but he knew his brother cared more than he ever had before.

Daryl didn't know what to tell him, whatever he did to her but he scared her and now she was stuck in some kind of PTSD nightmare. She was seeing things that weren't there, things that scared her out of her wits. Whatever her imaginary tormentor was saying to her or doing was scaring her on a primal level.

Sarah had stayed behind to try to get through to her, get her to her happy place but she wasn't holding out much hope. Sam had never been this bad before. My girl would do what she could but she wasn't the person Sam needed right now.

Enter me going to get my punk ass brother. Whatever he did to her only he could undo or some hippie shit like that.

*Lady In Red Don't Pull Away*

He felt lost, when his brother joined him in the room he hid that fear, that pain. He waited for Daryl to tell him what happened, for him to give him something to do.

That didn't happen though, they just stood there looking at each other. Merle hated silence. He spoke first, "Is she awright? What happened?"

Hearing him speak shook Daryl out of it. "She's stuck in a nightmare, constantly afraid, seein' things that ain't there. She thinks there's some kind of monster after her, tormenting her. Sarah said to come get ya, apparently you're the only one who can shake her outta it. Somtin' like that. Don't really know what she's talkin' about but your lady needs ya so get your big ass over there."

He got up and followed me down the hall to Sarah's room. He didn't say anything but he didn't have to his face said it all. He was terrified, terrified he would fuck up, make it worse, that it wouldn't work. He wasn't used to being needed, not like this.

He sat on the bed with her and put his hand on hers completely engulfing it. I knew then that Sarah was right and Sam was gonna be jus' fine. Leaving them to it Sarah and I went to pack up the garage.

*Lady In Red Don't Pull Away*

As soon as I sat down wit my girl, Sarah got up and her and Derle left the room goin' god knows where. Then it was just us. Slowly I moved over to where she was on the bed and wrapped my arms around her. She was shaking, it almost broke me that I had done this to her but I couldn't break-i had to be strong fur her.

It seems that my appreciatin' is on hold for now. I rubbed her arms and torso, comforting not sexual. She buried her head in my chest and eventually she stopped shaking. It took awhile but suddenly she said, "Merle?" she was back. It was over and I couldn't be more relieved.

I gave her a quick kiss before I picked her up and carried her bridal style to her room. She was a good sport about me carrying her downstairs but once I got her on her bed she insisted on going back upstairs and finishing the armory. So I scooped her up and brought her to their weapons room. Reaching our destination I let her feet drop to the ground and stood her up but I didn't move away instead I stayed there a moment with my arms around her holding her tight.

I didn't want to let her go but eventually I moved away dropping my arms. We got to work packing up what we needed from the room. She ended up taking five of the full length swords which I thought was too many and all of the smaller ones. She threw in an assortment of other knives and throwing stars. She sheathed them all before putting them in padded bags.

I followed her orders and packed what she wanted me to pack. At this point I would consider myself lucky if she let me sleep in the same bed as her so when she up and kissed me outta the blue I was shocked. Apparently I hadn't scared her as much as I thought I had.

I got to appreciate my lady after all, several times over. I didn't get much sleep but I felt better than I had in a very long time. After I was so sore I could barely move we went to her bedroom and slept in each other's arms til the morning.

So I'm sorry it took so long to get this up but that seems to happen a lot with this story. Its been more than a month since the last update so hopefully I'll have chapter 5 up in less than that. Bear with me I'm going to keep at it.
