Title: Even Better
Author: untapdtreasure
Pairing: Carol Peletier & Daryl Dixon
Summary: AU. Daryl gave in to her teasing.
A/N: This is from an anonymous prompt on tumblr for my take on what Daryl should have done in the famous "Screw Around?" scene from Seed.
"Pretty romantic. Screw around?" Carol's smile could brighten up almost any dark night, and she knew she was on dangerous ground given her company. Her proposition, albeit said in fun and games, could soon be taken seriously, and then what? The lower part of her gut flooded with heat anyway. Because a part of her kept saying, 'Just in case.'
"Pfft…" Daryl's eyes had shifted momentarily to hers. Then came her laugh, and he relaxed a bit. He'd been caught of guard, but he'd learned to expect just that with her. She wasn't afraid to tease him, and she damn sure wasn't afraid of him in general. And that had always put him at ease. He moved toward the underside of the bus, intent on climbing down to join the others. As he bent to find his first foot hold, he informed her, "I'll go down first."
"Even better," she teased. He'd walked right into that one, and she wasn't about to let the opportunity pass her by. She saw his head turn slightly to look at her. She was getting to him, and she knew it.
"Stop." He managed to get his foot hold and climbed down. He waited at on the ground at the bottom to help her if she needed it. And it was a good thing he did.
Sure enough, her foot slipped on the last step and she tumbled backwards, turning as she did so that her chest was pressed into his. The air between became even thicker, almost choking the words from her throat. "Tha-nks."
And before he could stop himself, his mouth was on hers. It wasn't a romantic sort of kiss, but one that showed he'd had just enough of her teasing. He wasn't sure what happened next because they were a flurry of movement. The crossbow hit the dirt, and then her pants hit the dirt at her ankles. And his belt and zipper was undone. He was free from his pants.
She was being lifted, pressed into as their mouths met over and over, biting, sucking, licking there way to a quick two minutes of bliss. He was inside her, fucking her hard and hot. And so right.
Then as quickly as it had begun, it was over. He was zipping up, mumbling something she couldn't quite understand, but she'd reached down at that point. She was just doing up her zipper when he reached for his crossbow. Her eyes followed his every move. She could still feel him hot and hard between her thighs.
"What did you say?" Her voice was stronger than she felt at the moment.
He met her eyes then, shrugging his shoulder a bit, but he stepped into her personal space. "Can sleep by me if'n ya wanna." It wasn't much, but he needed her to know that he didn't think it was a mistake. He'd wanted it just as much as she did. It had just taken him by surprise.
She reached for his arm, laying her hand over it and gently giving it a squeeze. "I can do that." She stepped out around him, letting her hand fall from his arm and to her side. And they began their walk back to join the others without anyone the wiser of the events that had just taken place.
