*ok, it has been a while since I have heard from any of you. I hope this chapter gets you a bit more chatty. Enjoy ;-)
Relief swept through the group waiting at the cabins when Daryl's bike and the truck pulled into the driveway, and again when they saw that everyone was unharmed and fully stocked with supplies. The dinner of canned vegetables and rice was almost a party compared to some of the sombre meals they had shared in recent weeks. For now, they were safe and fed, and that was so much to celebrate. Even a little of the bourbon from the bar was tipped into a few glasses and shared moderately. The night ended with a warm note of happiness and satisfaction, and people retired to their cabins. Carol and Hershel took watch, insisting the others had done enough.
Daryl and Rebecca entered their room and sat on the opposite beds, facing each other. Daryl, catching her eye, felt self-conscious under her softly smiling stare. Rebecca sensed Daryl's sudden introversion and looked away to the floor at her feet, not wanting to make him feel uncomfortable. She kicked off her boots and stood up, stripping off her hoodie and laying it at the end of his bed, beside Daryl. Her sudden proximity to Daryl sent a tingle to her abdomen. Daryl stood up and walked around her to the table and chairs, unlacing his boots and taking off his shirt.
He had stopped being insecure about his scars around Rebecca a long time ago. She didn't press him about them and soon the story didn't matter anymore.
Daryl looked up and watched Rebecca step her long legs out of her jeans and peel her shirt from her turned away body. She was just as comfortable with him as he was with her. She flicked off her bra and pulled on a short sleeve t-shirt. Brushing her hair away from her face she turned and sat on the edge of 'her' bed, facing Daryl.
Rebecca reached for the stale glass of water on the night stand and took a small sip. Her eyes looked over the top of her glass to watch Daryl step out of his jeans and walk to his bed, pulling back the covers. He climbed in and held up the blankets for her to settle in too. Rebecca moved forward and crawled into the bed, her back to his front. She nestled against his warm skin as he draped his arm over her waist. She lay there with her eyes open, and waited for his breath to settle in his familiar sleeping rhythm. His breathing was soft and baited on the back of her neck, holding some kind of tension as he quietly thought to himself.
Rebecca turned slowly under his arm so that she was face to face with Daryl. His usual edge of discomfort tickled into Rebecca's senses at the direct eye contact in close quarters. He lay with his head tense on the pillow, with his arm tucked up under it, and stilled his breathing. Putting her hand to his torso, she rested her fingers on his firm side. Rebecca pushed lightly on his ribs to get him to roll slightly on to his back. She pushed her body softly up against his side and lay her head on his shoulder.
Daryl brought his arm out from under the pillow and put it tentatively around her shoulders, his other hand dropped more around to her waist.
She burrowed her face into his scent, clean sweat and woody pine, closing her eyes softly and breathing him in. The soothing fragrance relaxed her body and pacified her mind.
Daryl felt Rebecca's soft hair brush at his chin and lips. The body in his arms melting in against his own. He touched his lips softly to the top of her head, closing his eyes.
…...
Her suddenly rigid body jumped like a tightly coiled spring and her hand dug into his side. She sat up, wild eyed, looking around the room like she was trying to find her tormentor in the dark. Daryl grabbed at her, afraid she would fall off the bed.
Rebecca, waking from her nightmare-hazed state, realised she was here, not there, and breathed out a shuddering sigh. Daryl sat up beside her and put his hand around her back, pulling her into him softly. She dropped her head to his chest and panted her shaking breaths. He rubbed at her lower back, calming her fears. His touch ebbing her panic and reminding her that she was here, with Daryl, safe. Her breathing quieted and she stilled in his arms, just being held for a minute.
Rebecca paused for a moment before pushing her lips to the hard chest in front of her. Lifting her head slightly, she dropped another soft kiss on Daryl's collar bone. He shuddered slightly at the soft grazing of her mouth to his skin. Her mouth continued up and planted a longer, firmer kiss on Daryl's pulse. He breathed heavily as his stomach boiled with lust. He bought a hand up to her neck and pulled her slightly away from his skin. Her eyes were heavy and dark, and she breathed softly in to his face as he tilted her head back further. His eyes dropped to her panting mouth and soft lips. There was no stopping it this time.
He lowered his mouth softly to hers, and then pushed in against her lips, deepening the kiss. Rebecca drew her hands up from between them and wrapped them around Daryl's neck, pulling him against her. Their kisses were deep and disciplined, neither of them rushing the moment. Instead choosing to be slow and passionate.
Daryl's lips moved with Rebecca's, their tongues meeting in slow swathes and presses. His arms tightened around her chest, pulling her into him so he could feel as much of her against him as possible. He lowered her back down to the bed, leaning above her slightly. Their intense kisses still drawing both of them in further. Daryl slid his right hand from her back and rested it on her abdomen at the hem of her shirt.
The feeling of his hand on her belly broke her skin out in a wave of goosebumps. She breathed softly through her nose as her mouth continued against Daryl's in waves of rolling kisses. Her toes curled as his hand apparently decided to push her shirt slowly up her torso. Every one of his touches elicited an uncontrollable response from her body. She felt his finger tips graze the bottom of her breast and her nipples tightened into hard little points.
Daryl's mouth moved slowly and deliberately against Rebecca's as his fingers found the soft flesh beneath her shirt. His hand slid over her breast and cupped it softly as his tongue slipped against hers. He felt her chest rise with a sudden intake of breath, pushing her into his hand. He squeezed gently as he pulled his lips back from hers. Daryl's mouth sought out the sweet taste of Rebecca's neck, making her roll her head back and expose her throat to him.
Rebecca sucked in a gasp of air as his lips met her skin. He nipped and sucked at her neck, drawing small noises from Rebecca's mouth. She felt the cool air tingle at the wetness on her neck as Daryl's lips left her throat. He slid his hand from Rebecca's breast around to her back, lifting her off the bed slightly. He dragged her t-shirt up her body as she leaned forward, helping him remove the offending material from between them.
She lay back on the bed as he dropped the shirt to the ground and returned his hand to her waiting chest. His soft eyes looked at her body. Her ribs visible slightly as she lay on her back, her stomach concaved faintly with each heavy breath she took. His eyes lifted and met hers, filled with desire for him. Her hands snaked around his body and lay flat on the muscles near his spine.
Daryl pushed into her embrace, his body against hers. His mouth returning to hers in their unrushed pattern of deep, heated kisses. His weight was propped on his left arm and Rebecca's side, leaving his right hand free to explore. He put his fingers to Rebecca's ribs, beneath her breast. His soft touch and calloused fingers tickling her slightly. His hand moved delicately for a rough man, sliding down her stomach and to her hip.
Rebecca moaned softly as his hand slid around beneath her to her behind. He pulled her a little against him and kneaded her flesh. Her mouth opened further for him, his tongue skated across her teeth and found hers again.
His hand lifted from her rear and slid slowly down her tattooed thigh. Her breath caught in her throat and she stopped kissing him suddenly as his hand moved from the outside to the inside of her knee. Noticing her sudden stillness, Daryl paused his hand and lifted his face away from hers. He looked into her eyes searching for direction, not knowing if she had stopped because she wanted him to stop.
Rebecca hadn't even noticed they had stopped kissing until she saw Daryl's considering blue eyes looking back into her own. Her entire world had narrowed to the inside of her bent knee. Daryl's hand resting softly at her kneecap. She came back to herself and bought her hand to the back of Daryl's right arm, encouraging him to continue. She lifted her head from the bed and placed her lips back against his.
Daryl, getting his answer, returned her soft kisses and followed her back down as she rest against the pillow again. His hand moved slow, achingly so. His restraint clenching his stomach muscles as he followed the inside of her long leg. His hand landed softly at her mound, his touch causing Rebecca to suck in through her lips, around their kiss. He drew his finger tips along the length of her, dancing over the thin material of her panties. A wave of icy tingles ran up Rebecca's side and down her arms.
Daryl pulled his head back slightly, just enough to break their kiss. His lips moved to her jaw in a slow swoop, as his hand sought the waistband of her underwear. His fingers curled under the edge of the material, as hers arched against his back. The kiss and suck of Daryl's mouth, coupled with his exploring hand, driving her towards the edge.
Daryl's slightly rougher movements bought her back to the moment. His hand pulled at the elastic, sliding it down from Rebecca's hip. She lifted herself and he tugged at the underwear, taking it from her hips and slipping it down her legs. He pulled it from her feet as she brought her legs up. Dropping it to the ground on top of her t-shirt beside the bed, he returned his hand swiftly to her center. His lips moved along her neck to just below her ear. His breath puffed softly against her skin. His hand had stilled, for a fraction of a second, with his fingers at her slit. She responded by rolling her hips up into his touch.
Rebecca felt as though every drop of her blood rushed to her core as Daryl's fingers explored Rebecca's wet lips and rubbed against her electrified clit. His mouth at her neck and his fingers circling her pink, she found herself already at the edge of climax.
Daryl slid his index finger easily into her wet core and Rebecca bucked against him, a deep moan escaped from her throat beneath his lips. His digit stayed inside her as his thumb found her clit and rubbed at it gently. She gasped as his mouth sucked at her neck.
Rebecca came instant and hard in his hand, grabbing at his back and writhing to his touch.
He lifted his face from her neck and swelled with pride at the red glow on her cheeks and chest. The soft smile on her lips as she panted and rode out her orgasm. Daryl had never made a woman cum from just his touch before. Never having the chance or desire to. Drunken one night hook ups that didn't even see the morning light, and hardly satisfied.
Rebecca's body quivered slightly beneath him as her breathing slowed and her hands loosened their grip on his back. Her eyes glowed as they settled on Daryl's. His lips twisted in to a small smirk as she brought her hand up to his face and pushed his hair away from his forehead. Paused for a brief moment in each others arms, a comfortable silence fell around them.
Daryl's hand that rested at her mound slid up her stomach and moved around her back at her hip. Her lips parted as he dropped a small kiss on the side of her mouth and then another on the tip of her nose. She pushed her head back to meet his circling lips.
The soft rain of kisses on her mouth set a low tingle in her sternum. Rebecca's hand slid from the side of Daryl's face around to the back of his neck. She breathed through her mouth around his. Her hand continued to his shoulder and down his bicep. It rested on his hard muscle and she gave it a slight squeeze.
Her touch brought his attention away from her lips and he again pulled back to look in her eyes. She spoke with her eyelids as they dropped to a soft hooded level and her parted mouth breathed gently into his face.
Daryl smiled a rare open grin, and dropped his face shyly in to her neck. He turned his body so that his chest covered more of hers. She wrapped her arms tighter around his waist. Daryl went with her movements and turned slightly, moving over her torso.
Rebecca's right knee dropped to the bed as Daryl lifted his over the top. He pushed slightly with his leg between her thighs, sending a bolt of electricity from her womb to her toes. She sighed into his ear as her fingers curled at his back.
Daryl drew his face back and looked at her briefly, before dropping his mouth softly back to hers. She parted her lips as he shifted his weight to the knee between hers, moving on top of her.
The rolling heat moved from Rebecca's face down her neck and torso as she ran her hands up his tight muscles. His tongue skated across hers and his mouth deepened into her lips.
The flame flickered into their passionate kissing. Deeper slow swells and harder lips bit at each other. Daryl's other leg joined his first between hers. He lowered his hips to Rebecca's, pushing his hardness into the space at the top of her thighs through his underwear. She gasped lightly as he rocked against her slowly with the rhythm created by their kissing.
Rebecca's hand slid down to the front of his underwear, between their hips. Daryl seethed as her hand gripped and massaged his hard length, drawing a few drops from the end.
Their kisses heated as she moved her fingers to the elastic of his shorts. She pushed down as much as she could reach without breaking their lips apart. Daryl took over from her hands and shoved down his own underwear. His movements brushed his prick against her hot slit and she moaned into his mouth. Her quivering voice heated his blood and he rubbed his groin in to her again as he dropped his own underwear from the bed.
Hard biting kisses and deep lashing tongues fuelled their movements. Rebecca's hands pulled at Daryl's tight muscular back. His arms tightening in response around her body, pulling her against him. Both breathing heavily, Rebecca's hips lifted and rolled against Daryl. His mouth pulled back suddenly and he looked into her eyes.
Her mouth panted and body tightened, eyes flamed looking into his. She lifted her knees and he reached down hitching them over his hips. His hard length slid down her wet center as she pulled herself against him.
Daryl's breath hitched as he found her entrance and pushed forward into her. She sucked her lips into her mouth and her head pushed back into the pillow. Daryl pulled out from her and inched forward again, sinking further into her core. His eyes glassed as he felt her heat and tightness wrapped around him.
Rebecca quivered as her cunt was filled by Daryl. She pushed up from the bed, rocking and riding with Daryl's tender movements. She bit at her lips and rolled her head in the pillow. Daryl dropped his face to her open neck, breathing heavy hot breaths against her collar.
A deep moan, escaped Rebecca's wet lips and was rewarded with a harder thrust of Daryl's hips. The strokes were uneven and quickening. Each push of his body against hers sending sparks through her core and coiling the wire of her building orgasm.
"Fuck." Daryl groaned in a gravely voice at her ear. His right hand slipped from behind Rebecca's back to under her thigh, hoisting her leg up higher over his hip. Their heated rhythm began to smooth into a regular pattern of thrusts. Daryl began to boil as he pushed deeper and harder into the hot centre of the woman beneath him.
He growled softly and erotically at her neck and sent vibrations into her throat. Her breath was ragged and shuddering as it left her lungs between thrusts. Rebecca's head began to swim as she edged closer to the blissful threshold.
Daryl's hand behind her lower back came out from beneath her and found it's way to the back of her neck. He pushed his body up slightly and moved his mouth to hers for a quick moment, before dropping his forehead to hers and clenching his jaw. He breathed heavy puffs into her face with each thrust. His eyes opened for just a second to see if she was close, because he wasn't going to last much longer. He met her eyes looking at him through haze, her breathing was sharp and uneven.
The eye contact drove Rebecca over the edge as her orgasm lifted her hips from the bed and shook through her body. Every nerve inside her hummed as Daryl's last jerking thrusts crashed through her in waves from her core.
Daryl couldn't control his body any more as he felt Rebecca's sudden convulsion around him. He bucked hard and blew his warmth inside her, gripping hard at her neck and hip. Half a dozen jerking movements and his energy left him with his fill.
Rebecca's thighs shook beyond her control as her breath came and went in huffs in Daryl's ear, his head dropped to her shoulder. Her body vibrated from the inside-out as he relaxed and let his weight drop slowly on top of her. His breathing slowed as his grip softened on her neck and hip. He drew in a long breath of her scent, a mix of sweat and soft earth. The aroma wet Daryl's lips and he drew his face back to look at hers.
A glow and blush across Rebecca's face and chest. Her eyes closed as she rode out the ebbing waves of her orgasm. Her swollen red lips beckoned to Daryl. Rebecca's eyes opened slowly and she looked into his. Their heavy stare changed slowly with her smile. Daryl returned her grin with a small quirk of his lips before dropping his head to her chest, smiling into her shoulder.
He offered a quick nip at her jaw before pulling away from her body.
