"Rick. Oh god. Please."

"I don't think your ready yet."

Michonne looked through hooded eyes at Rick's tongue as it slowly licked and caressed her nipples. Her head rolled back when his tongue made circles around her areola before sucking it into his mouth, with a satisfied moan. She was dripping wet, but Rick was taking his time, tormenting her with his slow pace and nude body that she couldn't touch because of the handcuffs. He had her sitting on the edge of the bed with her hands behind her while he kneeled between her legs.

"I'm ready. Now." She gasped when she felt his thumb on her clit. "Fuck. Rick. You're gonna make me cum."

"Do you want to?"

"Yes!" She said loudly as she thrust her pelvis against his thumb. "Harder!" She bit down on her lip when she felt that euphoric sensation of added pressure. Then she felt his hand on her neck and his lips brushed against hers. He licked her lips before slipping his fingers inside her, his thumb never leaving her clit.

"How does that feel?"

"So fucking good." He kissed her hard and moved his fingers in and out of her, coaxing out her orgasm. He looked down at her feet when he felt her legs start to shake. Her feet were arched with her toes digging into the shaggy rug beneath them.

"That's it. Don't hold it in." He moved his hand from her neck to thread his fingers through the locs at the back of her head. He pulled her hair, not too hard but hard enough that he felt her squeeze around his fingers as she screamed his name. Her hands griped the sheets and her body froze as Rick beckoned her orgasm with his skillful fingers. She's moaned in satisfaction and he kissed her again sucking on her tongue. "Yeah, you're ready now." He pulled his fingers out and licked them dry before reaching behind her and releasing the handcuffs. "Now assume the position!"

"Michonne. Hello Michonne. Girl what's wrong with you?"

"What? Maggie I'm sorry. I must have let my mind wonder for a bit."

"It's that guy isn't it? Andrea was telling me that guy you're dating, your roommate. She seems kind of bitter about it, or jealous, I couldn't really tell."

"What's there to be bitter about; that Rick and I started a relationship after pretty much being forced to live together? It was her and Shane's idea in the first place. It's not our fault that we fell for each other."

"You really like him don't you?"

"I do." She said with a big smile. "Don't tell Andrea, but we've said love a few times. She'll think it's too soon and I don't feel like dealing with her."

"How long has it been since y'all met and were forced to move in together as you say?"

"A little over a month. Do you think it's too soon?"

"Do you love him?"

"I've never felt anything like it. Yes"

"There's no rules to this stuff you know? I slept with Glenn after a few days of knowing him. Don't tell my daddy. It wasn't too long after that that we said the big L word. When you know, you just know. Why delay the inevitable? Who said it first?"

"He did, but he said it during sex and I told him it didn't count. He told me again later when we both had clothes on."

"I've never seen you look so happy. Go with your gut on this one and love that man with all you got. Life's to short for second guesses."

Michonne ended her lunch with Maggie and decided to do some retail therapy to clear her head. Morgan closed the gallery early today to attend some cheese maker seminar. She had no idea what that was and didn't stick around to find out. She was happy to have her afternoon off. She was in the dressing room trying on a pair of shorts when she received a text.

Rick: Are you sure your wrists are okay?

Michonne: I already told you, they didn't hurt. I'm good

Rick: You still at work?

Michonne: No. Shopping. What do you think of these?

She sent him a picture of the shorts she was trying on.

Rick: I think your legs need to be wrapped around me right about now.

Michonne: The shorts Rick. Focus

Rick: They're great. You only shopping for those today?

Michonne: Lingerie next.

Rick: I want a picture of everything you try on.

Michonne: Go to work Rick.

Rick: I'll be home around 6. I'll pick up something for dinner.

Michonne: I'll be waiting

Michonne was just out of the shower and walking downstairs when Rick walked through the door carrying a bag full of Chinese food and a smaller bag that she couldn't see its contents.

"Honey I'm home." He watched her finish walking down the stairs. She wore a short purple satin robe and no shoes. "Wow. I didn't know we were dressing or rather undressing for dinner." She walked over to him to give him a welcoming kiss.

"I just got out of the shower. The food smells good." She took the bag from him and with his now free hand he tried to sneak a peak at her breasts underneath her robe. She swatted his hand away. "Hey, none of that. I'm hungry."

"Me too. Just put the bag on the coffee table, we can eat in here."

"Sounds good." She handed the bag to Rick. "I'll grab some plates and drinks." She brought Rick a beer and then went back for the plates. When she walked back into the living room he was taking off his shirt and boots. She handed him the plates and sat down on the floor beside him with her wine in her hand.

"So did you buy out the store today?"

"No, just a few things. Shopping helps me think sometimes." She dipped an egg roll in soy sauce.

"Everything alright?" He looked a little worried

"Yeah. I went to lunch with a friend today and we talked about girl stuff, love and relationships. She told me Andrea thinks we're moving too fast."

"Is that what you think?" He asked scratching at the hair on his chin.

"No. I think we're moving at just the right pace for us. I think it's been intense and exciting, unexpected. Andrea and I, we've been friends for a long time. We were just two independent women living our lives and working our fancy jobs. When she met Shane, I was cool with it, they went out a few times and she gushed about him, like all the other guys she's dated. I never felt threatened or anything by him, like he was taking my friend away. I knew it would happen sooner or later. One of us finding someone. I didn't think my living situation would be turned upside down because of it. But now that you're here, since those blue eyes of yours and those damned bowed legs, your curly hair, I think I understand why they wanted to take that step. They had to see, to try. Unfortunately for them their efforts seem to be futile."

"To taking chances right? This here, between you and me, it's different. You're right it's intense. It hit me out of nowhere. I think it was that night at the gallery. You smelled really good that night and the fucking dress was even better. I didn't feel so out of place next to you. It seems like one night we were talking about our childhoods and past relationships, favorite foods and goals in life, the next you were in my bed. We didn't do anything but sleep, but I knew that night, that I didn't want anyone else in my bed but you. Ever."

"Yeah, that first night in your bed, I slept so good. It wasn't just your sheets; it was your presence next to me. Since that first time we were together, we've been going at it like rabbits. I was just gonna call you on your bluff that night, you know a quick but good fuck. But that first time lead to the next and the next and I just can't get enough. I'm so glad we didn't become the friends with benefits roommates who fuck between dates; I might have had to cut Jessie."

"So it's not just me? I sized up Ezekiel and knew I could take him." He moved closer to her. "And for the record that first time was never about a quick fuck for me. I knew I wanted you long before that. Even thought about how I wanted you. You were just being stubborn."

"I was being cautious. I was fine before you walked in here that night. Now I don't see how I would sleep without you in my life. It makes me feel weak and invigorated all at the same time. I never wanted to be the type of woman that needed a man, but here you are. So where do you want to go from here? Does anything change?"

"Nothing much. I guess, for now. Until we take that next step." Rick looked at her with hopeful eyes.

"We'll get there."

"Hell, you said it yourself, we've been going at it like rabbits. If you're not pregnant, I think I might be." He laughed at his bad joke.

"Well I hope little Ricky is growing happily in there." She poked his stomach. "Because there's nothing growing in me. You'll see next week when my period comes. We'll have to slow down then."

"Says who?"

"Rick."

"What?" He moved his hand to her hip and squeezed. "You know Shane told me that I'd thank him later, for the move. I hate to admit he was right this time."

"I don't think this is what he had in mind. Did you see his face the other night?"

"It's not. Not by a long shot, but he was right about me thanking him. Do you think we would have met if they hadn't decided to live together?" He grabbed her hand and started playing with her fingers.

"Oh yeah. Not under these same circumstances, and not through Shane or Andrea. They would have crashed and burned long before they introduced us. You probably would have pulled me over for speeding or I would have run into you out with Jessie or something." He pinched her thigh as she laughed.

"That's not funny. Where would you be speeding off to anyways?" He pulled her closer to him.

"Who knows? Probably trying to get far away from some blind date Andrea set me up with. You wouldn't have given me a ticket though. I would have changed your mind somehow." Did you get anything sweet, besides these fortune cookies?"

"Oh yeah, I got you something". He reached over and grabbed the smaller bag he walked in with and pulled out a chocolate candy bar. He opened it and broke off a piece then raised it to her lips. She offered her tongue to him and he placed the chocolate on it. She quickly chewed the sweet candy closing her eyes at the taste. "You want some more?" She nodded her head yes.

"Are you gonna feed me the whole thing?"

"Gotta make sure you pace yourself." He fed her another piece. When she was done swallowing it she noticed the melted remnants of the candy on his thumb. "You want another piece?" She shook her head no and them took hold of his hand before he could wipe t off. She brought his thumb to her lips and licked the chocolate from it before sucking it into mouth with a moan. Her eyes never left his. He licked his bottom lip, delighted in the feel of her hot wet tongue on his digit. "Shit, is this what you want to do now?"

"Do you not like it? You want me to stop? I'll just clear these dishes." She started to get up from the floor but was stopped by Rick's hand on her hip.

"Nope. You stay right here. Tell me how you would get out of my speeding ticket."

"It wouldn't be hard. You would come to my window and shine that flashlight in my eyes and say Ma'am, do you know why I pulled you over?" She said in her best imitation of his twang.

"I don't sound like that."

"I would just bat my eyelashes at you and watch as you scan my body with that damn flashlight. And say, no officer, what did I do wrong? Then you'd say, step out of the car ma'am. And I would. I'd step out slowly letting you get a good look at my legs and my stilettos."

"What color are they?" He asked

"Red. So when I'm out of the car, you'll make me turn around slowly so you can make sure I'm not hiding anything under my dress, which is too tight to leave anything to the imagination. The dress is red too. So then I ask you if there's anything that I can do to change your mind about writing me a ticket. And you say, I think we can work something out. Walk towards the front of the car please and place your hands on the hood and spread your legs. So I do it, since you're a big bad cop and I don't want the ticket. And you say, ma'am I clocked you going 75 in a 55 mile and hour zone. Do you have any reason for going so fast? Where's the fire? And I say innocently, I'm sorry deputy, I didn't realize I was going so fast. I'm sorry for speeding. Then you say I asked you were the fire is. And I say, there is no fire sir. Then I feel you lifting my dress up around my waist and I feel your hands in between my thighs and you start to rub my pussy because it's so wet from seeing you in your uniform. And then I hear you unbuckle your pants and your zipper and you reach around and find my nipple with is hard and aching for you to play with it. And then you say I think I feel the fire right here between your legs."

Rick tugged on the belt of her robe and leaned in kissing her on her neck. "Hey I'm not done with my story."

"Do you have red stilettos?"

"Yep."

"Go put em on."
