AN: hey again, sorry again for confusing some of you- what can I say? I'm an idiot:p I wanted to address a guest reviewer that left a nasty review. If you don't like my story why are you reading it? I do not respect the fact you did not sign in or leave your name. Constructive criticism is welcome, but what you wrote is nasty. I was actually very proud of that chapter- what you wrote wasn't helpful it was rude ! I have made it pretty clear that I was a new writer - this is my first story ever! If you do not like this pairing it's stated clearly in the summary-CARYL story. I have a feeling this might have something to do with a nasty shipping war which I refuse to become a part of off. Even so this is a short chapter but as a big middle finger to my nasty reviewer I wanted to write CARYL smut. For anyone else enjoy!:) I do not own or profit from The Walking Dead in any form.

Chapter 9

She'd made him eat when they entered the house before heading up to the attic. The kitchen had been deserted the exhausted group settling in for the night. She made a pull to move away from him to dish him up some food. Not wanting to loose contact with her for a moment he shook his head and said no shaking his head.

"You have to eat Daryl" she smiled brushing his long bangs from his eyes

. " I'll be right back ok?". He nodded settling on a chair. When she brought him over a plate her grabbed her hand and pulled her down onto his lap her arm went around his shoulders and he looked up at her

" I need you...close... ok?" He said. She smiled and nodded, Daryl would never be good with words when it came to his feelings. She knew how he felt though,she needed him close too. She watched while he ate, perched on his lap,stroking and rubbing his back messaging any tense areas she noted. When he was done he turned towards her and groaned as she hit a sore area. His eyes were filled with so much longing, so much love. No one had ever looked at her like that. He leaned in and brushed his lips over hers for the very first time. He brushed his lips down and gently bit her plump lower lip. Her mouth opened and suddenly the tentative first kiss turned into a passionate one. She shivered as jolts of electricity slid up her spine. Two years of sexual tension exploded into the kiss. He was kissing and nipping his way up the curve of her neck when she heard him mutter

"That was one hell of a first kiss, good lord you're gonna kill me.I ain't no young man anymore you know."

She laughed winding her arms around his neck " How old are you anyway Pookie? 35?" He snorted

"Fuck no! try adding 10 years or so to that number." Carol put a fake pout on her face

"aww, I really wanted to be known as our resident cougar" she winked. Kissing her again he then whispered "Show an old man to his room?" "Love to" she whispered back.

They made their way up to her little nest in the attic. The moon was shinning in threw the octagonal window illuminating room. When the door clicked shut she turned wrapping her arms around his waist. They stood enjoying holding one another, in no rush when suddenly he laughed " I must smell worse than old skunk road kill"

She giggled and responded "Yeah Pookie, you're a little rank. Come on" she lead him to a chair near the mattress, she'd brought up two buckets of clean water before he returned, along with wash cloths and soap. Sitting in the chair he watched her a little unsure what she was planning

"Relax Pookie, just thought I would help you clean up"she said with a mischievous grin. She leaned down helping him toe off his boots and socks and tossed them. She stood then, walked around behind him and helped him shrug of his coat. He groaned when her thumbs rubbed his neck for a moment.

Coming around in front of him she unbuttoned his shirt her fingertips grazing over every newly exposed inch of skin as he shrugged of his shirt. Her heart accelerated at the site of him sitting in only his jeans, he was so beautiful. She picked up the wash cloth and straddled him on the chair and began wiping the blood and grime off his face. His hands slid under her shirt and up the soft skin of her back. She pulled back a second and whipped her shirt off and threw it over her head. He leaned his face into the crook of neck and said very quietly " I love you"

She dropped the cloth and whispered "I love you too." and kissed him.

"I thought I smelled" he laughed "I'll plug my nose" she gasped as nudged down the cup of her bra and flicked his tongue over her nipple.

He groaned standing up, picking her up as she wound her legs around his waist. They made their way toward the mattress on the floor. Hands explored and the rest of their clothes thrown off as he settled on top of her skin to skin.

"I can't wait" he said "Me neither" she panted and then they came together. It was fast and it was furious. Her nails digging in to his shoulders, his teeth bit down on the ridge of her collar bone. It was perfect, and when they were lying entwined panting together he whispered in her ear "my angel".

AN2: so yeah, I hope that was okay( my confidence is a little shot) Let me know if you liked it- I need a little ego boost.
