Beth lay on her side with Daryl's arms wrapped around her tightly. Neither of them were ready to go back next door, not knowing when they'd have a chance to be alone again.

She felt his lips on her neck, heard him whispering in her ear. "Yer under my skin Sunshine," that voice, like warm honey dripping on her skin and his tongue on her neck. He was pressed against her, his hands running up and down her body.

"And you're under mine Mr. Dixon," she said playfully to him as he pressed his growing erection into her.

"Am I Mrs. Dixon," he was pressing against her opening as his fingers found her clit. He slid inside. "How about now?" he moved just a little in her wetness. He pulled out of her and pressed himself against her ass, fingers still on her clit. " Am I under yer skin now?," Beth moaned and pushed a little against him and the tip of his dick was in her ass now. She loved the way it felt with him inside her.

"Mmmm yes you are Mr. Dixon," she wanted him inside her, wanted him to

take all her. She was his and she knew it.

He slid his dick inside as his fingers rubbed at her clit. It was maddening what he could do, how he could make her feel. He was kissing her neck and whispering in her ear "Yer my light Sunshine mine." She turned enough so she could kiss his sweet lips. Her kisses were like honey, fire and moonshine making him crazy. He thrust inside her and she moaned, the pain and pleasure becoming one sensation. He could feel her getting closer, her clit swelling under his fingers…

"Mmm Daryl Oh! I-I'm I'm.."

"That's right Sunshine c'mon come fer me love it when ya come," he fingered her harder, now his lips crushing hers as her orgasm made her shake.

"Im gonna come Sunshine Im gonna come inside ya," a second later he was screaming her name as she felt his orgasm burst inside her. Then his arms were back around her.

"Promise ya won't ever leave me Sunshine yer the reason Im alive,"

"Never Daryl Never"

Laughter greeted them as they walked back in the other house. Daryl chose to ignore it for the moment. Beth went to see to the baby who was with Carl. She saw Beth and toddled over to her. Beth picked her up then she squirmed to get down. She was becoming a toddler.

Daryl stayed close by. He didn't like it when Beth was out of his sight. He didn't trust Rick at all. It wasn't even the pills. Rick truly hadn't been himself since Lori died and his daughter was born.

Daryl never liked Lori not after she had the nerve to call him selfish back at the farm after he had spent days looking for Sophia. Didn't see her going out there after Carol's little girl. He nearly died himself after Nervous Nelly threw him and his crossbow fired, shooting him in the side. Then as he came back into camp Andrea shot him.

It had been devastated Daryl when Sophia came out of the barn. He hardly knew the girl at the time. But he could remember a time when he was lost in the woods and no one looked for him. He knew how to take care of himself though. This was a scared abused little girl so he had looked for her.

At the time, they thought he was doing it for Carol but it wasn't about her, not really. At first it was out of selfishness; he could track and the others couldn't. He wanted off that interstate before another herd came through. But then he heard Carol in the church, praying, saying she knew she deserved to be punished, she knew Sophia's father was developing perverted ideas about the little girl , that he knew he had to find her. By then he was glad Ed Pelletier had been killed back in the camp outside of Atlanta. After Sophia died he told Carol not to make this about his own father but even as the words came out of his mouth he knew it was about his father because that's the kind of person his father was. An abusive drunk and Daryl was glad he didn't have a sister because he knew what would have happened.

He went outside and lit a cigarette. Abraham was out there with Rosita, keeping watch. She kissed Abraham and went inside leaving the two men on the porch.

Daryl offered him a cigarette but he didn't take it. He was almost out anyway til he could find some more.

"We need to make better time tomorrow, we're falling behind schedule," said Abraham.

"Ya really think this guy can save the world? He doesn't look like he can wipe his own ass without instructions,"

"He knows what caused this and why they're moving in a herd. I'm sure you've noticed they seem to have a mind. They move in one direction and then the direction changes," Daryl had noticed that himself. Some of it was noise ; the dead seemed to be able to hear even if their ears were torn off. He inhaled deeply waiting for Abraham to continue.

"Dr. Porter claims to have the answers; He knows whats driving the herd. And there is in fact something driving them."

"He better know," This trip was incredibly dangerous but so was staying back at the mall. Daryl promised Beth a safe place and he was going to keep his promise one way or another.

Beth came out on the porch. Seeing her Daryl pitched the remainder of his cigarette and wrapped his arms around her. She was uncomfortable . Ever since Daryl had told her about Rick she could feel him staring at her. She only felt safe with Daryl.

Daryl knew what she was thinking. Rick was staring, making her feel uncomfortable. She tried to ignore him, staying close to Daryl .

He kissed her; he could just spend all day kissing her. He knew Rick was staring at the marks he left on Beth's neck. Good let him stare and think about she got them, Daryl thought. Beth was his and there was no way anyone could take her from him. He found himself lost in her kisses as he always was.

"Is he makin ya uncomfortable? We can go next door, its too crowded in there anyways," he asked her in between kisses.

"A little. I don't understand why he's being this way. He has Michonne," Daryl was kissing her harder now, his tongue tracing around her mouth.

"Cause I have ya an he can't, " he said and she kissed him even harder. She was in his lap now where she felt so safe, his arms holding her to him and she didn't care where she was.
