Chapter Text

They stood there for a beat, looking at each other, then his lips were on hers as she pressed her body against his hard frame, he had filled out in the years they had been apart, and it felt good to be in this man's loving arms again. That feeling had been missing from her life for so long.

His hands were all over her and her hands traveled over him in an instant, finally.
Her body was just like he remembered, soft in all the right places, and a perfect fit in his arms.

Daryl backed her up against the far wall in the foyer and dove in to give her the hottest, dirtiest kiss she had ever had. His tongue took over her mouth like he owned her and maybe he always had. Paulina felt like she was his, in the past, present, and future; only his.

"It's a good idea then?" She asked when they came up for air a minute later.

"It's a very good idea," He said running his lips over her neck as she pushed against him, already on fire from his hot mouth on her skin.

He felt as good as she imagined and remembered, better even, he was a man now, not a boy anymore. Her blood was boiling over in her veins already and they had barely touched.

"In fact, I think it's the best damn idea my dumb ass has come up with in a long time." He said, going in for another scorching kiss.

Paulina couldn't argue with that; she'd only said it might get complicated, so it was out in the open. They had been hurling towards this for weeks now, and they both knew it. She wanted him desperately, and she'd fall at his feet right there in the foyer of her house if he wanted her to.

Her soon to be ex-husband never kissed her like that, Daryl kissed her like he needed it to live. Daryl's lips and teeth on her skin consumed her, and as she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer, there was no doubt that it was on.

He picked her up while her back was against the wall and her legs wrapped around his waist instinctively as he ran his teeth over her lower lip.

Both of them let out a groan at the contact of their bodies this way, and she pulled him close, sliding her arms around his neck. He kissed her again and again as they pressed their bodies together and his hands traveled over her ass, pulling her against him tighter.

"Here, or upstairs," Was all he said, and she motioned to the stairs beside them. Daryl nodded once adjusted her in his arms and carried her up the stairs to her room. He kicked the door shut and tossed her on the bed, taking a minute to look at her, really look at her. He never thought they would ever be together again yet here they were.

Then Daryl crawled over top of her and kissed her again, "Do you want to stop?" He knew all about consent and even though he wanted her desperately, he would wait if she felt that they needed to.

"No," Paulina squeaked out as his lips made their way down her neck and his hands moved down her rib cage, "I haven't been able to stop thinking about you."

"It's mutual sweetheart," He groaned sucking on the tender skin of her collar bone and pulling her shirt over her head.

Daryl gazed down at her; she was incredible, just like he remembered. It was as if the last fifteen years never happened and they hadn't been apart at all.

"You are so beautiful," He murmured, not taking his eyes from hers, his hand ran up her bare leg and under the skirt she was wearing, and she didn't stop him.

Daryl leaned down and kissed her again, and there was something so desperate in his kiss like he couldn't get enough of her; it was addicting to her. This man would always be her greatest addiction.

Paulina ran her fingers through his hair and pulled him closer, spreading her legs and she could feel him hard against the thin material of her panties; she wanted him. She rocked her hips against his and slid her leg around his to pull him closer, Daryl let out a moan that went right through her.

He kissed along her neck, stopping to suck and then across her chest and collar bones with little kisses as he moved down lower. His hand made quick work of the front clasp bra she had on, and it was gone in no time, replaced with his hand and it was she who moaned then.

Daryl's hands were rough; a working man's hands just like she remembered, and they felt so good on her soft skin. She reached around and slid her hands into the back pockets of his jeans and pulled him against her, pressing against him as he thrust his hips into hers. Her hands slid up over his back, and she pulled him closer still, feeling his dick against her, hard and inviting.

There was no relief to get from this fever she was in now, and she reached for the buckle of his pants.

Daryl pushed her hand away gently, "Not yet sweetheart," He said softly as his lips found her right nipple and his hand slid to the left.

"Oh, god," She moaned, arching her back and bringing her chest closer to him. She needed more, so much more.

"Tell me you want this with me," He groaned swirling his tongue around her nipple. Daryl couldn't explain why he needed to hear that, but he did. Even though they had been together for weeks and it was blatantly obvious what they both wanted, he still needed to hear it out loud from her, "This time it's going to be different."

She had rejected him once a long time ago, it was still in the back of his mind, she had refused to marry him once upon a time.

"I want it, all of it," She ran her hands through his hair, "I want all of you, forever."

"I've wanted to touch you so badly," Daryl said, satisfied with her answer, running his hands over her hips. His lips and tongue were all over her breasts, and he could hear her breathing becoming ragged, while her body moved against him.

She wanted him, and that excitement was contagious like a sickness he didn't want to be cured of.

"Touch me," She moaned, "Please." She ran her hands over his back and ass then brought them around to the front of his jeans. He was hard as stone, and he moaned when she moved her small hand along the length of him, "I wanna touch you."

Paulina unbuckled his jeans and reached inside his pants to grasp him, and Daryl's breath caught in his chest at the feel of her touch. Paulina slid her hand over the length of him, and he responded, "Oh Fuck," in a slow throaty groan.

Already she had him worked up into a frenzy, and he knew he needed to slow down. He hadn't been touched by a woman in a long time or touched a woman, and he wasn't ready to tap out just yet.

Daryl ground his hips against her hand and reached lower over her hips to bring his fingers to the outside of her panties.

Paulina moaned her approval, and the sound made him almost explode, her response to him made his dick throb anew as she continued stroking him. It felt so good, too good.

"You gotta slow down sweetheart," He murmured, reaching down and pulling her hand out of his pants, "Or this is gonna be over way before I want it to be."

He kissed her again and brought his hands back over her stomach as she hissed out a breath. She couldn't get enough of his touch; he was firm but gentle, so unlike what she had been used to.

Slowly he inched his hand down under the elastic of her panties, and he found her wet, "Fuck me, Paulina, that's nice," He groaned as his fingers connected with her skin, it was sweet torture and her back arched off the bed.

"Oh god, more," She moaned, and he slid a finger inside her, then another as his thumb brushed against the bundle of nerves that was the center of her world right now. It had been a long time for her, "Oh, I'm gonna…"

"Don't cum yet, Paulina," He said as he swiftly pulled his fingers away from her and she sighed.

"Please…" If he wanted her to beg for it, she would. She would do anything he wanted, and clearly, he had a few new tricks up his sleeve, he'd never made her wait to cum when they were younger.

"Not yet, I'll make it so good, I promise," He whispered as his lips made their way over her stomach, and lower still until his face was against her panties. Daryl breathed her in and moved his lips and tongue against the damp material.

Paulina was coming undone fast as Daryl brought his hands over her thighs letting his thumbs swipe across the material, making her arch her back in pleasure. Whoever taught him this was ok in her book.

Daryl continued, alternating with his fingers and tongue across her panties until Paulina's body was on fire for him, and she was mumbling gibberish, then he pulled them down her legs.

Slowly he brought his hands over the inside of her thighs and pulled her legs apart, he gazed down at her with lust hooded eyes and felt dizzy. Dizzy from the sight of her like this, dizzy from the throbbing of his dick straining behind the denim of his jeans. Dizzy with the fact that this was happening again, and that they would be together now.

Then his mouth was on her thigh, and he licked her skin with the flat of his tongue nice and slow until he got where he wanted to be.

"Daryl," She panted, "I haven't had sex in years, I don't think...ahhh."

He licked her again, swirling his tongue around her clit achingly slow and her legs began to shake.

"Me either," He looked up at her from between her thighs and kissed the side of her knee, "You like that sweetheart?"

"Yes," Paulina gripped the sheets next to her as he licked his way from her knee to her inner thigh, "Yes."

"Good idea baby, hang on tight," He said with a wink, then he dove in for the kill.

Soon she was falling apart and screaming his name in the darkness with her hands all over him trying to pull his jeans down. She didn't care that she was acting desperate, she was desperate for it now.

"You sure," He asked as he hovered above her. Paulina nodded, and that was all the encouragement he needed. He brought his lips to hers and kissed her dirty, all lips and tongue as they both shucked off his jeans and boxers.

"I'm sure, Daryl, I'm sure," She panted, "Hurry."

"Wait, should I get…"

"It's OK, it's ok I can't..." She pulled him close against her, and he nodded that he understood what she meant. Later she would tell him she'd had her tubes tied after Jilly was born so that there were no more children with Kevin. Now was not the time to bring that up.

"Oh, fuck yes. Fuck. Yes," Daryl moaned as he entered her slowly, wanting to savor every part of her. She was tight and warm and wet, and his head was spinning from the feel of her. He found a slow, steady pace, even though every cell in his body wanted to fuck her into the mattress.

There was time for that later, for now, he took it nice and slow with lots of kissing and lovely words for her. The moved together in sync as they touched and kissed each other's bodies, untroubled that they were both sweating.

Daryl pushed her hair out of her face and kissed her sweetly again, then trailed kisses down over her neck and murmured to her again that she was beautiful and felt so good.

He watched the skin across her chest flushing and her breathing becoming faster, "Are you close?" Daryl asked, and she nodded.

"So close," Paulina moaned.

Then he stepped up the pace just a little bit to tip her over the edge again before he let go completely.

"Let it go, give it to me; I want it so bad," Daryl moaned into her ear, and Paulina's body reacted immediately to his words; he owned her already, "Come on honey…"

"Daryl," She moaned, and he loved the sound of his name on her lips like this, "Oh, oh, oh god Daryl," She wrapped her legs around his waist and met him thrust for thrust in all-consuming passion, which would burn her alive.

Paulina was on sensory overload now, the sweat was dripping over her body in a light sheen mingling with his, and the weight of him on top of her was too much for her; she came screaming his name over and over again. Her body shook uncontrollably, and she felt it from head to toe, a tidal wave of pleasure that consumed her entire being.

Daryl had been holding back, trying to keep his mind focused on her and now he let it affect him. He felt his heart pounding out of his chest and the burning need inside himself to make her his forever, and he let the feeling wash over him like a wave.

He rolled over so that she was on top of him, keeping his hands on her waist and Paulina looked down at him as she moved her hips over his. Her hair was wild and, in her face, and she didn't stop moving as she slid her hands over his chest and gazed down at him.

"Do it," She murmured, leaning down to kiss him and it was way too much for him, "Fuck me, Daryl, fuck me good, do it!" She brought her lips down to his neck and sucked hard, and he was done for; between her lips and dirty mouth, he was a goner.

Daryl followed her over the edge as her body and her words pulled his orgasm out of him with a sweet force unlike, he'd ever known. He couldn't stop the string of profanity that came from his lips as the back of his eyes went white, and it seemed to last forever.

When she was sure he was done Paulina collapsed on top of him, and Daryl pulled her close to his body, she fit, right there under his arm like she belonged there.

"I found you," He breathed out, as he wrapped his arms around her and settled her beside him and she laughed.

"We found each other, Daryl."

He rolled over to the face her and pulled her close, placing his lips to the side of her head, "I'll always find you," He settled his eyes on hers.

"And I'll always find you," She said giving him a soft kiss.

After a few minutes, he spoke to her in the dark as he took her hand.

"Are you gonna marry me this time or what?"

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

With Merle beside Daryl, the kids, Paulina's beaming parents and a few friends Daryl and Paulina pledged themselves to each other forever, and it was a long time coming. It would be forever; they were both completely sure of it, it just took them a little while to get there. In the front row sat Jenny and her husband Joshua and she was beaming too.

When Daryl had called and told her he was getting married she was beside herself with joy and the story was so romantic. The details he shared with her about his and Paulina's previous time together was like a romance novel. She loved Paulina from the first meeting, they were going to be great friends. The mystery of Daryl Dixon was finally solved for her, she was glad she never gave her heart to him because his heart had belonged to this woman right here and always had. It all made sense to her now and she was so happy for her good friend.

This would be the first marriage for Daryl and last marriage for both of them and as they stood there Daryl whispered to Paulina. "Are you sure you don't want to get to know me better?" and she grinned a wide and sweet grin at him.

"I think I know you just fine." She replied.

With a lot of help, they had planned and executed this wedding in two weeks, Daryl took her hand after he made his joke and they turned to the Mayor of the town who was officiating.

"You two ready." He asked and they both answered yes readily.

In the end, they just couldn't wait once they decided and it was such a long time coming that they didn't see any reason to delay it. Their wedding vows came from 'Corpse Bride' a movie they had watched over and over when they were teens.

"With this hand, I will lift your sorrows.
Your cup will never be empty for I will be your wine.
With this candle, I will light your way in the darkness,
With this ring, I will ask you to be mine."

Then he slipped the ring on her finger and she repeated the same words back to him, slipping a matching ring on his finger. Jenny and her husband Joshua had flown over from Japan where they were stationed, and she nodded sweetly to Daryl when he turned and looked back at her. Her friend was finally happy after so many years of just getting through life, now Daryl was going to actually live it and she couldn't be happier.

3333333333333333333333333333333333333

The day after the wedding and the party afterward Daryl, Paulina, and the kids took off for Daryl's grandfather's cabin in the woods to spend the week fishing, hunting and just being together. From the kitchen window of the simple but clean cabin, Paulina watched as Daryl and their two daughters sat on the dock with fishing poles together for hours.

She had no idea how starved her girls had been for a father figure, it made her sad for them, yet happy that Daryl was with them now. Later they would build a fire and cook any fish they had caught in the fire pit out back. Six months ago, she would have opened up her wrists if it didn't mean leaving her kids with a monster and now? Life was beautiful for all of them.

Daryl was showing the girls how to fish and later he was going to take them and show them how to shoot the crossbow. It wasn't the one he'd taught her with, that one was rusted in his garage at home. But this new one was lighter and would be easier for the kids to hold.

At night after the kids were asleep, they would sit out on the deck and just talk, really talk and they planned the rest of their lives together.

"Do you want more children, Daryl?" She had asked, now feeling foolish that they never discussed it before now. They had been in such a hurry to marry that the subject just never came up.

"Is it selfish if I say no?" He asked, "I mean Katie and Jilly are older and I don't know that I want…" He answered cautiously, if she wanted more babies he'd give them to her, but it wasn't something he had ever allowed himself to think about before.

"I had my tubes tied, I just didn't want to with him but if you wanted to, we could see a doctor…"

Daryl pulled her closer to him on the swing they were sitting on and kissed the side of her head.

"I would never want to put you through all of that."

"But I would, for us if," But he was shaking his head, "If you change your mind just tell me and…"

"You and the girls are all I need."

"They love you so much, you've given them something they never had before." She felt like she was going to cry.

"They're awesome kids, you did great with them, and I know you had no help at all."

"My parents helped, and boy were they glad to see you," She said with a grin.

"Your father shook my hand and thanked me for helping you and your mother cried through the whole ceremony."

"They knew what was going on, I thought I was hiding it but Selina, my parents everyone knew…"

"Like with my old man…" Daryl said wistfully, he had made peace with that long ago.

"Yeah," She said softly, "Like that."

"I appreciate you even thinking of this, but I'm happy with things just the way they are, and I'm going to love and protect you and the girls until I die."

"You know you set the bar for every relationship I ever had," Paulina met his eyes in the twilight and candlelight from the candles she had placed on the table.

"What do you mean?"

"I compared every man to you, and every one of them fell short."

"I did the same thing, Jenny said I was emotionally stunted," He said with a laugh.

She raised her hand, "Frigid."

"Ouch," Daryl winced, "That's a lie."

He stood up and took her by the hands.

"In fact, I'm about ready to disprove that theory again." He winked at her.

3333333333333333333

They were giggling like school kids as they climbed the ladder to the loft of the cabin. The girls had the bedroom because Paulina didn't want them climbing up and down the ladder during the night to go to the bathroom, so she and Daryl had the loft. It was an open room with a view of the living area and kitchen below with just spindle railings all around.

"We have to be quiet," She cautioned as they crawled to the open loft that was basically just an open part above the living room with a bed against the wall.

"Don't worry," Daryl answered, "I'll put my hand over your mouth."

She laughed at that as she stooped down because of the pitch of the roof and pulled her sweatshirt over her head. Daryl's eyes went wide at the fact that she didn't have a bra and that he'd missed that. He was off his game today it seemed, always so aware of her now, it would have been fun to think about while they went about their day.

"Oh fuck," He stared at her in the moonlight that was streaming in the floor to ceiling windows in the loft, "Maybe it's my mouth I'm gonna have to cover."

Daryl pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it next to hers and then they were on the bed. For a moment they laid there together looking at the gold bands on their hands.

"I never in a million years thought this would happen," Paulina said to him softly.

"Me either, I thought I'd be alone for the rest of my life." He saw that her face was soft, and tears threatened to fall.

"I'm sorry," She whispered softly, and her voice was already cracking.

"No, you don't, it ain't no one's fault, it was just bad timing and we're here now. That's all that matters." He rolled over on top of her, "And I'm trying to get laid here, so no crying ok?"

She was smiling then, he could always make her smile and that was all that mattered, and he leaned down and kissed her sweetly, then more urgently, and soon they were pulling each other's clothes off. It was still all so new again and wonderful.

Daryl rolled her over on top of him once their pants were off and she slid down onto his dick like they had been doing it for years. She was warm and wet around him and he groaned outload like a bitch.

"Hold on sweetheart, we gotta…"

Paulina was already shaking her head, "I need it now…"

"Oh, fuck yes," He moaned. She was amazing every time they were together in bed, it was like making love to someone who had a fever, she was so warm around him and in his arms. For the rest of his life he knew he would want her like this, they had a lot of time to make up for now.

"Shhhhhhh," Paulina teased.

He gripped her hips and moved her slowly as she leaned down and kissed him again. Then her lips traveled over his neck and Daryl sucked in his breath trying not to make a sound. They found an amazing rhythm as his hands snaked up over her belly and to her breasts.

"Oh fuck," He groaned, "Fuck me, good baby."

He thrust his hips against hers, moving faster now and she could feel it building inside of her. Her body was flushed, and the heat was burning her from the inside out.

"Oh God," She moaned, "Daryl, Daryl." She leaned down and kissed him again and again as if she couldn't get enough of him. She would never be tired of kissing him.

Daryl tried to turn them back over twice, but Paulina wasn't having it, finally, Daryl gave up and just enjoyed her riding his dick like it was the Saturday trifecta. It was so difficult to be silent, he wanted to scream his head off it felt so good.

"That's it, baby," He groaned quietly, "That's it." He reached his hand between their bodies to touch her slippery flesh, "I'm almost there let's do it together…"

"That's not real…"

"Yes, it is," He moaned into her lips and continued stroking her until she was out of her mind and nearly exploding all around him, "Yes it is, come on sweetheart," He stared into her eyes as he continued thrusting his hips into her and watching his dick go in and out of her as his fingers stroked her clit just right.

"Oh, god…" She moaned softly, "Oh my god…don't stop, don't stop."

"I won't, I won't, baby," He whispered back, and he never stopped, "Come on give it to me good."

"Oh, Daryl I love you so much," She leaned down and kissed him all the while moving her hips faster and faster, "I love your cock, I can't live without it."

"It's all for you." He gasped out, "All for you baby forever."

She brought her lips over to his ear. "Give it to me, I want all of it, every bit. Come inside me." She whispered hotly in his ear, "Come inside me."

"No," He answered and pushed up to turn around, in one swift move he had her flipped over onto her stomach and he came down on top of her to whisper in her ear, "You're gonna cum with my dick inside you."

His hot breath made her hair stand on end, he pushed her legs apart, taking time to admire her perfect ass, then he was inside her, pressing his body down onto hers and she let out a grunt along with him.
"Oh, fuck!" She cried, he was pushing her into the mattress with his hard body, then she felt two fingers alongside her throbbing center on either side and she was almost done.

"You want it?" He said as he pushed his hips against her in a slow steady rhythm that was burning her alive right there in their bed. Daryl was hard as stone and determined to fuck her until she couldn't see straight.

"Yes, oh please," Paulina tried to move her hips to get him to either move faster or get his fingers to move, but he was too heavy and holding her down; she couldn't get any part of him where she needed it.
Daryl was breaking out in a sweat and so was she, he slid his fingers against her flesh at a teasing and slow pace and pumped his cock even slower in and out of her. Paulina couldn't move, she was totally under his control and ready to explode. He licked his way up her back and landed on her neck where he sucked hard and left a mark on her.

"Who fucks you right?" He breathed into her ear, he needed to cum, but he was going to make her beg first, as promised.

"You do," Paulina answered right away as her face got pushed into the pillow and she felt herself being filled up with his perfect cock.

"You wanna cum?"

"Please, Please," She nodded her head, and wiped her sweaty face against the pillow, "I need it."

"I know you do sweetheart," He looked down and watched his hips slamming into her ass while he fucked her nice and slow, "Who's the boss of you?" He slid his fingers on either side of her clit and she practically sobbed with relief. Her breathing was coming out in little puffs now the closer she got to oblivion.

"You," She moaned as she felt the feeling washing over her, her entire body was tingling and vibrating, "Oh god! You, Daryl, you!" She yelled and came so hard her pussy was like a vice on his dick, squeezing until he couldn't take anymore, and he came with a roar right after her.

333333333333333333333333333333

They stayed up late that night afterward talking about the life they were starting together. Sometimes in life, you got handed something wonderful and both of them knew to never take it for granted.

For fifteen years they had missed each other, wished for each other and now they were together by some miracle. But that was how it started with them anyway. That's how it had always seemed to Dar-yl, the fact that Paulina had even given him the time of day back in high school was a miracle.

Seeing her walking towards him at that bonfire was a miracle in his eyes and he took her hand that night even though he was so afraid. Later Paulina had told him that she'd known all along that they were meant to be. He was her miracle too.

When they were young life had not been so complicated and now things were so different, yet their feelings remained as sweet and innocent as that night. When she was with him, she felt like she was sixteen again.

As they reminisced about their life together before and now that night it was finally the way it was supposed to be.
