Ch. 33 - Andrea

It had taken hours, but finally the plan was complete. They would attack the Governor at dawn.

Rick had easily conceded, once Michonne was on board. He was under her spell, same as Andrea.

Her feelings for Michonne had culminated when Andrea had been violently ill, to the point where dizziness had completely incapacitated her. Michonne had gone in search of medicine and Andrea secretly wished that she wouldn't return; that she would leave her behind rather than risk her life to save her.

But then Michonne had returned. It was the first time Andrea had seen her smile and the feelings she'd been developing for Michonne rippled through her weak body. It was love - plain and simple.

And before they faced the Governor, Andrea had to be honest about how she felt, while she still had the chance. She headed to Michonne's cell, her hands trembling in anticipation.

Ch. 34 - Rick

Rick stood at the entrance of Michonne's cell, determined to finish what he'd started before Andrea had arrived. Michonne lay in bed reading a book, her head propped comfortably on her hand.

He cleared his throat. Michonne shifted her eyes in his direction, her lips parted slightly, as though she'd been caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

"What're you reading?" he asked.

She sat up, attempting to hide the cover. "Nothing," she said in a high-pitched voice.

He sat beside her. In one swift move, he snatched the book from its hiding place. He arched an eyebrow at the cover featuring a shirtless man with sandy brown curls, looking off into the distance. He read the title out loud. "Partner in Crime."

Michonne reached for the book, but he kept it out of reach, forcing her to lean into him. And Rick took his opportunity.

Ch. 35 - Michonne

Michonne had been turned on before Rick came. She had been in the middle of a steamy love scene, descriptions of the hero's manhood evoking fantasies of Rick's own endowments. And then the man of her dreams walked in on her and had the nerve to kiss her.

Rick's kiss radiated from her lips, across her heaving chest and all the way down to the tips of her curling toes. He gave his all from the beginning, nipping and sucking on her lips, and she matched his fervor, running her hands through curls that were softer than she'd imagined.

She thought she heard someone say her name from far away, but then Rick slid his tongue into her mouth pushing that thought to the back of her mind.

Her general excitement built into a deep desire and need that could only be satiated by the man who owned it.

A/N: Apologies for the delay. I'm on vacation, so it's been tricky to find time to write. Finally, we get some kissing between Richonne. Hope it was worth the wait!
