* Please Review! Thank you to Nymph for talking me through this chapter!*
Glenn and Ava each took a shoulder while Daryl picked up the walker's legs. Glenn and Ava walked backwards with Daryl watching their steps. They shuffled along until they felt they were far enough away from the group to dump the body. With heavy heave, they let him go and he landed in the bushes. Ava pulled a small bottle of purell out of her pocket and handed it out to Glenn who smiled.
" Yeah." Glenn said. " Thank you." She squirted some into his hands then held the bottle to Daryl.
" What the hell is it?" Daryl snapped.
" Purell. It's kills germs." She said simply. With his frown he held out on hand. She squirted some in it, making Daryl glance at Glenn to see what he should do. He started rubbing his hands together quickly. He looked over at Ava to see she was doing the same.
" We better get back to camp." Glenn said.
The rest of their watch, Daryl watched the woods and her. She was perched back up in the tree with her eyes searching through the woods. She was alert and ready for action. Again Daryl had to wonder what she had done for a living before the outbreak. He stayed in the woods and out of her sight. He didn't want her to know how much he watched her, he didn't want to admit to himself how much he watched her.
At sunrise, everyone started coming out of their tents and gathering around the camp fire. Glenn, Daryl and Ava decided to only tell Rick about the walker. The point of hiding the body was to not upset the group members but Glenn and Daryl felt Rick should know. As they talked to Rick, Daryl noticed that Ava ducked into Carol's tent then popped out a few moments later with her backpack on her back. He expected her to lay down, that was what he was planning on doing. Daryl didn't need a lot of sleep but he needed few hours so he could be alert.
" Where the fuck you think you're goin?" Daryl asked her after he broke from Glenn and Rick to follow her.
" To the river." Ava answered.
" Ain't safe to go alone." Daryl asked as he followed her.
" I'll be fine. I roamed the woods for weeks alone before you guys besides, I need some alone time. " She said while she turned to face him. She was walking backwards. " Sometimes I need a break from people, you know?" He did know. He valued his alone time. He valued the peace and quiet that came with being alone. He wasn't used to being around people as much as he was with the group. Ava didn't say anything. She spun around and picked her pace, disappearing from the group into the woods.
But not from his view.
Daryl followed her with his frown set in place. She took careless chances in being alone and he didn't like that. She had a little girl, her sister, to think about. If something happen to Ava there would be nothing to stop Merle from turning on Angel, if he hadn't already. If Ava wasn't going to watch her own ass then Daryl would just have to do it for her. Which was why he was was hiding in some bushes, watching her undress by the river.
He watched as Ava slipped off her shoes then her socks. She set her backpack down and started going through it. Carefully, she set out some soap, two bottles of something and what looked like a razor. Then she stood up and looked around. Daryl ducked low into the bushes, making sure she wouldn't see him. Her hands went to her jeans were she quickly undid them and pushed them down her slender legs. Daryl had to hold his breath. She stood up straight and undid her bra quickly. She dropped the black fabric to the ground then turned and gave him her back. Daryl almost growled out loud. She was wearing a pair of black thongs and a tight shirt. Her bare ass was all he could focus on.
He watched as she washed her arms and her stomach. His teeth smashed together as he watched her hands work under her shirt to wash her breasts and back. She stood in waist deep water and bend down to wash her legs, and make his heart slam painfully. She ducked down under the water, only to reemerge a few seconds later. She threw her head back to start washing her hair. He was panting while he watched the shampoo slide down her back and over her perfect ass. She dunked back down, rinsed the shampoo out then applied her conditioner.
After she was sure her hair was clean, he watched her started to shave her legs. And that was better than porn to him, even better than her knife work. He held his breath as her right hand slowly brought the razor up her right leg. Her other hand then slipped down the patch of skin she had just shaved. She moved to another section of her leg. Up she moved, down she stroked. His body jerked and harden. His breath hitched, his stomach contracted. His hands opened and closed against his knees. He narrowed his eyes, he frowned. He squinted, he bit down into his bottom lip. He imagined her stroking him like that. He imagined her hands closing around his dick and stroking up him then back down.
By the time she was finished he was sure his cock was going to split open. She set her razor down then walked back into the water. She sank down to her knees and reclined back. Daryl was tight and shaking. His sole attention was on her. His vision was tunneled down and focused on only her. He wanted, no needed, to see what she was going to do. He couldn't get enough of the way her shirt clung to her hard nipples and showed them off to him, again.
One of Ava's hands went into the water, just below her waist. Her eyes were shut and he had to wonder what she was going to do. She was all shaved up and washed up, so why wasn't she getting out of the water? He wanted her out of the water. He wanted to see her ass again. He needed to see her ass again. Daryl held his breath as her mouth fell open suddenly.
' What the hell is she doing?' He wondered silently.
Then she moaned quietly and he knew just what he was seeing. She was touching herself, just like he had seen in the porns, only it was real. Ava's right arm was supporting her upper body and he could see that her knees were bent. She was moving her hips slowly under the water. She held her breath, then moaned out again. Daryl was too stunned to move.
" He's so hot." She moaned out in a whisper that was just loud enough for Daryl to hear it. Who was she talking about? He watched as she bit the left side of her bottom lip and sighed. Her mouth went open again and her back arched. He was sweating and breathing hard. Her hips started moving faster and her breath caught then...she said his name. His name. Not Rick's, not Glenn's, not T-Dog's or someone else's. No. It was his name. Loud and clear. She was touching herself and getting off to him. Daryl fell back on his ass but she didn't noticed. She was to deep into her orgasm.

" What's wrong?" Rick asked as Daryl stormed through the camp.
" Ain't nothin wrong! Tired! Can't a man be tired!" He snapped. " Damn it! I was up all night! I got the right to be tired!" The group members watched as Daryl alternated from muttering to yelling as he moved towards his tent.
" Wonder if he and Ava got into a fight?" Glenn said to Maggie from their spot at the fire. Glenn wanted to eat then he was going to take a nap. He turned around from Daryl when the redneck disappeared into his tent. They were used to Daryl's emotional outbreaks although he hadn't had one in a while. " Yeah, I'm to tired to eat. I'm going to bed." Glenn said as he stood up.
A few minutes later Ava strolled back into the camp with her wet hair hanging down her back and her back pack on her back. She smiled shyly at some members but passed on the food. She told Carol she was going to lay down and started towards their tent. Glenn was just getting ready to go into his when he noticed Ava and stopped her.
" Did you and Daryl have a fight?" He asked. Ava shook her head with a frown.
" No, why?" She asked.
" Well he just came back all pissed off." Glenn informed her. Ava frowned and looked towards the hunter's section of the camp then back at Glenn.
" What do you mean he just came back?" She asked.
" After you said you were going to the river, he went after you. Rick doesn't like us being alone out. You didn't know he was there?" Ava took a step back and brought her hand to her mouth.
" When did he come back?" She asked. Glenn frowned at how breathless her voice sounded.
" Just a few minutes before you did. Why?" He asked.
Daryl paced in his tent. He pushed over the small pile clothes he had. He kicked at his blanket and cursed. He crossed his arms over his chest then dropped his arms. He put his hands on his hips then dropped them again. He frowned, he cursed, he squinted. He spun around when the zipper to his tent started to fly up.
" What the hell!" He snapped. No one just came into his tent. Ava flung open the tent door and stepped in. Daryl stepped back at the same time his face exploded in heat. " What do you want!" He yelled as he started shifting his weight from one leg to the other. He was struggling to breath normally. Ave raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms over her chest.
" Did you enjoy the show?" She asked quietly.
" What are you talkin bout?" He asked.
" You know that I'm talking about. Are you some kind of pervert or what?" She asked.
" I ain't no pervert! Why the hell are you doin that out in the open!" Daryl yelled.
" Do you mind keeping your fucking voice down!" She hissed as she came forward quickly. Daryl backed straight back without thinking as she invaded his personal space.
" You ain't got to worry bout my voice. You need to worry bout keepin it in your pants." He said in a quiet voice. Ava narrowed her eyes at him.
" Don't you worry about what's in or out of my pants." She said. " Do not let me catch you spying on me again." Daryl's anger peaked and he stepped up so they were only seconds apart from each other. She could feel the heat of his skin coming off him.
" Don't threaten me, Lil girl." He bit out. Ava closed the distance between them and grabbed him by his shirt. She yanked him down hard.
" Or what?" She whispered a second before she pressed her lips against his. Daryl didn't even have time to close his eyes before she pulled away from him and walked out of his tent. She zipped it shut and was gone, leaving him with the feel of her lips on him, his heart pounding and his cock standing straight up.
