A/N: Sorry for the wait! I have planned a few more chapters of this one.

Like Nelly said, it's gettin' hot in here…


Rick jumped slightly as he woke up with a start caused by Michonne's laughter; he had fallen asleep briefly half way through Shaun of the Dead. She had not noticed his soft snoring as they both sat beside one another on the couch with a blanket strewn over the lower half of their bodies. It was almost one o'clock in the morning and the zombie movie marathon was in full swing. Carl and Duane were sprawled out on two single air mattresses directly in front of the television set laughing at the antics of the characters in the British zombie apocalypse comedy film.

Rick rubbed his eyes and looked to Michonne before speaking.

"Hey, I'm goin' to bed." He said tiredly. "You comin'?"

She turned towards Rick then screwed her face up a little.

"I might just finish watchin' this. Haven't seen it before and I wanna know what happens to these pair of idiots."

She answered, feeling slightly guilty for not accompanying Rick upstairs. Honestly, Michonne knew that if she did go to bed with him, his lethargy would give way to arousal and they would end up finishing what they had started earlier in the day. While she wanted to make love to Rick, she did not feel completely comfortable doing it with the two teenagers under the same roof. Besides, she really did want to see the end of the film.

Rick did not attempt to hide his look of disappointment as he answered, "Okay."

He went to stand up until Michonne spoke again.

"I'll come up soon." She offered before giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

Rick bid them all goodnight and carried himself heavily up the stairs. After brushing his teeth and stripping down to his underwear, he went back into his bedroom and flopped down onto the bed. Once his head hit the pillow, he did not feel as sleepy as he had when he was downstairs; his mind became occupied with thoughts of how wet Michonne was earlier and how her hand felt wrapped around his hardness. He felt the familiar stirring in his boxer shorts and hoped to Christ that the stupid movie would hurry up and finish so that he could do something about it. He considered slipping his own hand under the covers and pleasuring himself, but thought better of it in case the film finished and Michonne came in and caught him. Rick reached for his side table and grabbed his phone; he opened his text messages and found Michonne's name and typed in his very brief message.

Michonne noticed her phone light up from where it sat on the arm of the couch; she grabbed it and saw that she had received a text from Rick. She smiled slightly and opened the message that simply read:

I'm horny :(

She shook her head and grinned again before replying right away.

OMG dude! This is our 1st sexting sesh! Dick pic? :P

Rick read what she had written and laughed a little to himself; her sense of humor was one of the things he loved about her.

Come up stairs & take the pic urself ;)

Was his response.

R U Serious?

Michonne replied to Rick as she started to think that maybe she would just go to bed with him after all, and leave the zombies for another time and place.

No but still horny. Come to bed pls!

xXxXx

Rick stared at the phone's screen for about five minutes; Michonne had not sent a message back to him yet. He was enjoying the little game they were playing, but all of a sudden she had stopped. He lay in the darkened room thinking of how she was in the same house as him yet so far away. He desperately wanted to resume their activities that were interrupted earlier.

At that moment, Rick heard his bedroom door creak open as the light from the hallway crept in; Michonne stood silhouetted in the doorway as Rick sat up in bed smiling with anticipation. He turned the bedside lamp on as she closed the door behind her and locked it. He noticed that she had changed her clothing and, from the look of it, was only wearing his shirt that he had recently removed and left hanging on the towel rack in the bathroom.

Michonne sauntered over to the bed and sat down next to Rick as he drew the covers back for her; they shared a smile and then he reached for her face and pulled her into a slow, sensual kiss.

"It's such a turn on seein' in my shirt." He whispered huskily into her ear after a while before nibbling the lobe then moving his mouth to her neck.

"Really?" She asked as her head started spinning at the feel of Rick's mouth, tongue and teeth on her skin. She then asked:

"Want me leave it on?"

"Fuck no." Came his immediate heady response as pulled her on to his lap and caught her mouth with his own. "I wanna see all of you."

Rick placed his hands to Michonne's behind and was pleased and even more aroused that she was not wearing panties. He squeezed and rubbed her smooth round backside while absently drawing her closer to him.

She continued kissing him deeply before pulling away and beginning to unbutton his shirt that was covering her firm breasts.

"Hold on."

Said Rick as motioned for her to let him up from where she sat straddling him. Rick stood and her eyes wandered slowly down his body in the dimly lit room. Her gaze fell where the dripping tip of his manhood protruded slightly from his underwear. Michonne felt her own sex begin to throb when Rick turned on the much brighter overhead light and removed his boxer shorts. He really did want to see all of her, and wanted her to see just how much he wanted her; how his body responded to her.

Rick stood completely naked in front of Michonne and smiled as she looked lustfully at him; her eyes once again going straight to his hardness. She continued to unbutton the shirt and opened it so that her delicious skin was exposed to him; she then let the garment fall away from her shoulders. Rick stood admiring her nakedness.

"I knew you'd be perfect all over."

He said before kneeling on the bed and moving to where Michonne sat. She instinctively laid back parted her legs slightly as Rick hovered over her and kissed her mouth again. She ran her fingers through his hair as their tongues and lips met hungrily; their breathing becoming quicker as Rick switched between fondling her breast and gripping her backside. They hesitantly pulled apart for some much needed air. Rick shifted his weight from off of Michonne and moved backwards slightly; he gripped her hips firmly with both hands and dragged her frame down the bed somewhat. Rick placed her legs over his shoulders, and just when she thought her was going to enter her, he slid further down the bed himself until his face was near her opening.

Rick moved and placed her legs either side of him so her lips were parted. He could see the glistening of her folds, showing how her body was ready to receive him. Rick ran his finger over her bald lips before letting his tongue follow. Michonne let out a moan at the feeling of Rick's mouth at her centre. He lapped at her slick folds several times before dipping his tongue into her opening. He then flicked her sensitive bud a briefly before sucking it into his mouth. Michonne's hips bucked as her eyes closed and she bit her bottom lip. Her breathing became heavier as she murmured his name deeply over and over again; throwing her legs back over his shoulders and gripping the sheets tightly.

This caused Rick to hasten his efforts as he sucked and licked her until she found her release and her hot juices filled his mouth. Her legs felt weak as he shifted them so that his waist was positioned near her womanhood. He leaned down and captured her lips with his own; Michonne slightly aware of her own taste still in his mouth. Still panting, she spread her legs wider, reached her hand between their bodies and found Rick's cock.

She stroked his length a few times, admiring his hardness and thickness before guiding him towards her opening. Rick let her place his throbbing tip just inside her centre before he pushed further into her tight wetness. He did not move at first, opting to relish in the feeling of her warmth enveloping him. He then set a steady pace and thrust into her while his left arm rested near her head and he held her hand with his right one. They held each other's gaze and occasionally, he sought her mouth with his own; breathing her name into it as if he were breathing life into her.

Rick's movements became more frantic as he thrust deeper and harder into Michonne's core; each thrust eliciting a pleasured moan from her as he found her spot again and again. She gripped his back and dug her nails into his hot flesh as her walls began to tighten and the familiar warmth spread through her stomach. Her eyes closed as Rick continued to push himself into her; he could tell her climax was fast approaching so he lifted her hips slightly and plunged faster into her depths. Michonne's body became tense and she shuddered almost violently at the peak of her pleasure; simultaneously causing Rick to find his own release as his seed spilled hotly inside of her and he called out her name.

Rick collapsed on top of Michonne as they both rode out the waves of their orgasms; she panted while fighting to catch her breath and Rick let out breathless proclamations of his love for her. He slowly slipped his length from out of her warmth, rolled to his back and pulled her form onto his so that her head rested on his chest; she reached for his hand and entwined their fingers.

Michonne listened to the sound of his heartbeat as it began to slow its pace, much like her own. She watched as Rick gently rubbed his thumb over hers and liked how their hands looked locked together; she found their contrasting skin tones to be beautiful.

She drew his hand to her lips and placed a gentle, loving kiss to it before shifting so that she and Rick were once again looking into one another's eyes. His smile was so wide that she could not help but reciprocate; using her hand to brush away the damp stray curls stuck to his forehead.

"You know I love you, right?" She said, her voice a little croaky from the dryness in her throat.

"Yeah, yeah. You say that all the time."

He joked, gently rubbing the back of his hand to the side of her face; still grinning.

"No, I know I say it all the time. And I do love you; but I'm tryin' to tell you something so stop bein' cute and shit and just let me say it."

"Okay." He said, listening attentively.

"I know it's taken a while, but I need you to know. I'm in love with you, Rick…There, I finally said it. No more pretending. Now you know."

The smile fell away from Rick's face as he closed his eyes and sighed loudly and deeply. He then opened his eyes and beamed at her before leaning up and sweetly kissing her lips. His heart swelled with overwhelming happiness that they were both finally on the same page, together.

"That's a relief." Rick offered. "I'm not sure if you noticed this at all, but I'm so in love with you."

They embraced one another once again before Rick moved to extinguish the lights. He returned to the bed, wrapped Michonne in his arms as they both lay smiling; completely happy with where the road had led them.
