Daryl wasn't even out of breath when he reached her door, the anger running like molten lava through his veins. He had planned a few scenarios in his head, yet nothing prepared him for what he saw. The receptionist had very kindly given him a key card, enabling him to enter without her consent.. He shut it behind him, quietly, his best form of attack would be surprise. It was him who received it, as his eyes searched the dimly lit room, his heart almost stopped where was she?. From the corner of his eye he saw a movement, walking closer, he took in her beauty. Her back to him in a robe provided by the hotel, he wished he had been the one to strip her out of the dress, he had looked forward to it, most of the anger escalated as she had taken that privilege away from him too. Her body's reaction confirmed to him she knew he was there

"We have some unfinished business" he moved towards her edging her further back on the balcony against the railings

"I know" was all she got out, before he attacked, his body against hers his hands thrusting in her hair almost ripping it out. Any gentleness had gone replaced with want and anger. This little pixie had finally brought the man to his knees and she would pay for it. His mouth covered hers his teeth biting hard into her soft lip, drawing blood as his one of his hands closed around her throat squeezing, forcing her mouth open for his brutal kiss.

He waited for her to hit him, punch him, woman like Carol didn't deserve the unleashed beast that was inside him. But no not her, she moved her hands around his back, as he braced himself for her punches, shocked when she fisted his hair in her hands and pulled him tighter to her, he couldn't get enough of her, they had played the game all night now it was drawing to its conclusion. Both of them naked as he pounded into her, well that's what his mind said to him, he just hoped she was on the same damn path as him His mouth was hard on hers never letting up, his tongue thrusting in deep, wishing it was his cock sliding into her depths. Pulling his mouth away, he attacked her throat that he had held tight, already he could see the skin, had coloured from his strong hold on her. He felt her gasp for the stolen air he took with the first touch of his mouth on hers.

"Ouch" he had bitten too hard, didn't fucking care, he was marking her, as his.

"I ain't saying sorry, wanna make you mine "

"I... oh god" his lips attacked her ear, his tongue flicking in as his hands grabbed her holding them tight behind her back as he maneuvered her back into the room. She felt as if she was flying, when he launched her across the bed. Her body hurt, as she landed a little too hard, looking up she expected him to join her.

"You ignored what I said!" his hands now running through his hair, he had to have this out with her, force it if he had to, she needed confirmation as to why she needed his protection, he was going to give her a lesson she would never forget. Pacing back and forth at the end of the bed, he tried to reign some control over his anger. She had to push it, by opening her damn mouth to justify her actions.

"I..." his hand smashed against the wall above her head, his anger coming back she could see the blue of his eyes changing to a deeper shade.

"What if I didn't get to ya in time WHAT THEN CAROL!?" his fist smashed on the bed next to her head this time, as he towered over could see her anger growing and she had it aimed all at him, good let her, they needed to thrash this out, before he had her under him screaming his name in ecstasy.

"WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING LETTER?" he saw the fear coming in to her eyes, good she should feel scared, that she had kept that information to herself. He had almost lost it when he she had done her disappearing act in the lobby.

"Wha... Let..." his other fist slammed down next to her, enclosing her within his arms, he was beyond pissed that even now she was still trying to deny it

"DON'T BULLSHIT ME" feeling her small hands against his shirt, he was thrown off guard with just how small she was.

"Fuck you..."

"Oh ya will baby, but not now, first you need to accept your consequences"

"What? I ain't a damn child" he climbed off the bed, his body was ready to unleash his raw passion on her, but she had to know he was serious. Her life was in danger and over the last few hours he had come to realise how much he wanted her safe, before they did anything he had to get the boundaries sorted, order her that she was to obey him. He almost smirked at that, looking back at the pixie, all red-faced and spitting. He could see she her anger pushing through her calmness, he knew his next words would push her over

"WELL STOP ACTING LINE ONE HELL YA ACTING LIKE BETH!" that was it Carol saw red, how dare he compare her to that child. She came at him, then stopped her voice calm

"Difference between me and that child is I didn't throw myself at you in desperation" her reply had him cringing, it wasn't his fault she made a play for him

"You jealous?"

"What the hell ! Give me a reason I could be jealous off, go take your caveman attitude and get the hell out of my room Dixon" sliding off the bed, she headed for the bar, pulling the fridge open, it slammed shut as he manhandled her to the floor, her chest pressed to the soft carpet as he lowered his whole body on top of hers

"Get off me"

"NO!" he allowed her to wriggle within his grasp, wishing he had some other way to show her what would happen if she had come across her stalker, it certainly wasn't helping the aching need rushing through his blood. Her nape was showing just above the robe, and he couldn't stop himself, moving his face, his teeth nipped out to pull the skin, as his mouth sucked hard, he knew by morning they both would be bruised and marked by their mouths. teeth and fingers.

"I said get off me" if he didn't move she was going to scream. This man had her emotions all over the place, never had she felt such want, anger, frustration and self loathing in one short evening, yet he had brought them all out in her. The worse of it, he was so right, she was jealous, green-eyed monster, tantrum throwing jealous and she had never felt that in her whole 45 years. She hated how he made her feel, yet at the same time, his actions and touches made her believe that she could just may have a chance, with a man like him, even if it was for one night.

"DO YA THINK THEY WOULD GET OFF YA IF YA BEGGED?" his words brought her back from her thoughts as she struggled, causing him to almost lose the last thread of control he had.

"You have made your damn point now get your filthy hands and mouth away from me"

"Filthy am I? These filthy hands and mouth had you wet downstairs for me, bet ya dripping now baby. Fuck ya consequences, I need you" his hips pushed into hers, leaving her in no doubt how hard he was for her. Slowly moving back he allowed her to turn under him, fuck it was much better, he had lifted himself on his forearms, taking some of his weight away from her. Yet his cock nestled between her legs as the robe had slipped away to the side in her struggle. Her top half was still covered but that wasn't going to be for long He looked into her eyes, knowing both of them were still on the edge of anger, yet desire was taking them over, he waited for the reply to the unanswered question. A small nod was all it took as his lips took hers, his hands opening the robe, his heart stopped as he moved himself back to look at her, really look at her

"Baby you are beautiful" he softly spoke as his fingers drifted gently across her breasts, he took a soft globe into, his hand and bent his head, his tongue flicked over the sensitive nipple as he pulled it into the warmth of his mouth. His gentleness surprised her, they had been rough before like animals, now he was taking his time, tasting her, his hand gently squeezing as he sucked her in deeper, harder, nipping the tip with his teeth, her scream roared through his ears. Taking it from his mouth he asked her the question, he had asked earlier in the evening, the one he had waited for ever to hear the answer too.

"Do you want your first orgasm by my mouth or my fingers baby?" his hand moved to play with the soft curls on her forehead, patiently waiting for her reply..Grateful his training over the years had enabled him to take his anger back under control, even though he had no where near finished the conversation about her safety. That could wait, be on hold until he had sated both their hungers, the only talking he wanted was her telling him what to do and her screaming his name as she came

"What did I say Daryl?" she whispered softly back as her hands brushed his long hair away from his face, caressing the bruising he had from the accident. Through the evening she had forgotten he was still in pain from that, and the beating he had taken, now it looked like it was all because of her. Looking into his eyes she saw them darken with desire, he swallowed as he thought about what she had said

"something about needing to know me better I think" he smirked at her, then as quick as lightning he jumped to his feet, undoing the shirt, he slipped it from his body hearing her gasps at his naked torso, yes he worked out, and kept himself trim, even when he went of radar for a few years. She could also see the damage he had suffered. Carol wanted to trace his scars, kiss them softly, glad that he was here in front of her.

"Wha...er what are you doing?" she should stop him, but what woman in their right mind would tell this man to stop

"Letting you know me better" he toed his shoes off, and unzipped his dress pants letting them fall to the floor, he kicked them away with out hesitation. Lifting her from the floor, he gently moved her to the bed, she almost passed out when she saw the erection he was sporting in his boxers, surely that couldn't be because of her. She was nothing to some of the woman who had been there at the meal or even in the restaurant. Her self esteem was low, without thinking she voiced her biggest fear

"Are you sure it's...oh Daryl why would you want me when you can have Beth?"

Placing her on the edge of the bed, he grabbed her hand placing it over his erection, his breath hissed out of his lungs as he felt her hands twitch. She had no damn idea what she did to him,the conversation he had with Merle about her ex shed some light on why she felt she wasn't good enough. Her fingers slowly moved over him, he moved back quickly his breathing coming fast he threw his head back to calm himself, as he looked at her.

"Give me a minute baby, your touch will have me coming before I can do you justice, this is for you Carol, you got me this way and I feel it is only right that you take responsibility for your actions" she saw the smile come over his face, if she had thought Daryl Dixon was good-looking before, that had been nothing compared to seeing him smile he was gorgeous. The man didn't realise how damn sexy he was, she wanted that smile for her and her alone. She would banish her negativity and take what he had to offer, even if it was for the night.

"So for the third time I will ask you again do you want your first orgasm with my mouth or my fingers?"

"Both" she whispered, feeling him move towards her and pull her into a deep kiss.
