Ch.28
Beth wasn't sore anymore; at least that's what she'd told him. She wasn't sore, and she was ready to go out hunting again, and he wasn't going to second guess her. He'd been patiently waiting for her to come to him and tell her she was ready, and now that she was, he had all intentions of taking her out hunting again.
He was sitting at the kitchen table, eating a can of mixed fruit when she finally came downstairs, a huge smile on her face. He didn't know why, but she was always happy when she woke up.
"Wanna' go hunting today?"
Beth cocked an eyebrow. "Sure, I'll go hunting," she said, making air quotes with her fingers.
Daryl gave her a sly smile and stood. He walked over to her and handed the can of fruit to her.
"Eat this and meet me outside," he said as he walked outside.
He took a seat on the porch steps and began looking over his crossbow, making sure everything was lined up correctly. He inspected each of his arrows, making sure that none were about to break. He didn't have many left; he would definitely have to find some more or make his own. A few minutes after he finished, the door opened and Beth stepped outside.
"Ready?" he asked, looking up at her.
Beth nodded and started walking towards the woods, Daryl following closely behind. They were both quiet and diligent as they walked. Sure, Daryl was ready to pounce on her and take her as soon as they were far enough away from the farm, but he was going to keep it in his pants until he actually had something to show for their hunting trip.
After getting three squirrels and four rabbits, Daryl was satisfied. He turned and looked at Beth, who was looking at the ground. He continued staring until she looked up at him, a smirk forming on her face.
"Are we doing it again?" she asked, her voice a mix of nerves and excitement.
"You tell me. If you want to, then yeah, we'll have sex, but if you don't want to, or you're too sore, then we don't have to."
Beth shook her head. "No. I want to," she answered quickly.
Daryl gently laid his crossbow on the ground alongside his game bag. When he looked up at Beth again she already had her shirt off, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Guess we aren't waiting," he joked.
Her cheeks turned a bright shade of red, and it was the cutest thing he'd ever seen. He quickly disposed of his shirt as she took off her jeans. He made his way over to her, claiming her mouth with his. Beth was quick to yield to the kiss, letting him control the force of it as his tongue slowly found hers.
His hands reached behind her and found the clasp of her bra, his fingers unhooking it. She let it fall to the ground without any hesitation, and his hands immediately found their place cupping her breasts. She moaned into the kiss as his hands teased her nipples.
Carefully he laid her down on the ground. She was still new to this, and he still wanted to take things slow. He hovered over her, placing soft kisses on her creamy silk skin, slowly making his way lower and lower. When he reached her belly button he moved back up to claim her mouth. His hand pulled on the elastic of her panties, and she lifted her hips so he could slide them down her legs.
He pulled away from the kiss for the briefest moment as his hand explored her, his fingers slipping in between her soft folds. Her eyes widen and her back arched, a soft moan escaping her lips. He began to feather her body with kisses as his fingers slowly brought her closer and closer to her peak.
Moving his thumb to her clit and keeping a finger moving at a steady pace in and out of her, he felt her arch her back beneath him. Her legs began to tremble as her orgasm tore through her. He continued moving his fingers within her until her climax was over.
He took a moment to look at her again. Her hazy eyes found his, her expression clouded. Her face was flushed and a light sheen of sweat on her skin glistened in the sunlight. He knew that she was ready for him, so he reached into his pants and found a condom before throwing his jeans to the side and removing his boxers.
He moved to hover over her again, his eyes searching hers to make sure this is what she wanted. She knew what he was looking for, and she gave her head the slightest nod. He nodded back, and grabbed her sides, rolling to switch their positions so that she was straddling him.
"Wh-what are you doing?" she asked, confused.
"Remember, I told you that maybe I'd let you lead next time. Well, I'm letting you."
"But, Daryl, I-I don't know what I'm doing."
"Yes you do. Just do whatever your body tells you to. You're not going to mess up, Beth, believe me…you could never mess this up."
She looked at him nervously.
"Beth, you can do this. Trust me. Just do whatever feels right."
She took a deep breath and nodded again. "Alright."
He placed his hands on her hips and helped guide her over him. She slowly lowered herself onto him, wincing and gasping slightly at the pain it caused her. Once he was fully resting inside of her, she gave herself a moment to adjust, to allow the pain to pass. Once it had gone, she looked at him again, unsure of herself.
Daryl gripped her hips a little tighter and began moving her on him, coaxing her to trust her instincts. After a few minutes she let her fear and trepidation go and let her body control her movements. Her hips began rolling against his, and Daryl let out a string of curses at how good she felt.
He felt as her muscles began to clench around him, and he knew that she was close. Her pace picked up, trying desperately to find her release. Her breathy moans were filling the air around them as she got closer and closer. Daryl skimmed his hands along her body; trailing down the valley between her breasts, lightly grazing her sides, until they came to the spot their bodies met. He allowed his fingers to explore her lower half again, aiding her in her attempt to release the tension building there.
When he felt her body shudder he knew that she had reached her climax. He quickly rolled them so that he was on top again. He wasn't giving her body a moment to catch up to her. He kept driving himself into her, his thrusts becoming frantic. It didn't take long before his orgasm overcame him, and his body collapsed on top of hers.
He slowly pulled himself from her and rolled to lie on his back next to her. Daryl turned his head to watch her. Her chest was rising and falling rapidly; she was still trying to catch her breath. And he swore he could see the slight flutter of her pulse in her neck. Once both of their bodies returned to normal they got up and changed.
"How did I do?" Beth asked self-consciously as she pulled her boot on.
"You were amazing, Beth," he said, smiling at her.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Now let's get back."
When they finally made it back to the farm, Maggie and Glenn were loading up the truck. Maggie looked at them strangely, like she was trying to figure something out, but she didn't say anything.
"What are you doing?" Beth asked, furrowing her eyebrows.
"We're going on a run. Need anything?"
"No."
"Alright. We shouldn't be gone very long," Glenn said as he got behind the wheel.
Daryl nodded and watched as Maggie and Glenn drove off. He turned to look at Beth.
"I think I'm going to run into town really fast. Think you'll be able to skin these?"
"Yeah. Be careful…please."
"I always am."
Daryl dropped his bag and started walking towards town. It wasn't a long walk, and after an hour he was walking down the main street. He needed to find the pharmacy. He was looking in the windows, trying to find anything that they may need back at the farm.
When he finally found the pharmacy he went in, grabbed the last box of condoms, and went to leave. The store was mostly empty. He assumed that most everyone had raided it shortly after the world went to shit, and anything that had been left had been scavenged over by people passing through. He was honestly surprised that there were even any condoms left. He would have thought that those would have been the first to go, or that Maggie and Glenn would have taken anything left in the pharmacy. God knows that they were going at it like rabbits when they first met.
He was making his way back through the woods when he heard it. It was barely noticeable at first; just the shuffling of feet over fallen leaves and branches. But the noise grew louder and louder. He knew that it wasn't just one walker. This was a herd, a herd decent enough in size to make enough noise to alert him to their presence without actually seeing any walkers around.
He quickly began running back to the farm. He needed to tell the others. He wasn't sure how large the herd was, but he knew it was big. The only thing he had going for him was that they were moving away from the farm. If they kept going in the direction they were heading now, the herd would be gone within a matter a days, a week tops.
But it wasn't the threat of the walkers that was worrying him. All he was thinking about was how he wouldn't be able to go out hunting. He and Beth wouldn't be able to have alone time together until the herd had passed.
Author's Note: I am so sorry for the delay in posting. I just got a summer job, and this past week has been pretty hectic. I had orientation and training, and on top of that, my sister came up for last minute wedding plans. I'm just going to say this right now, I'm not sure when the next update will be. I'm going to try to do weekly updates, but I'm not sure if I will be able to. My sister's wedding is a few weeks away, so after that I should be back to regular updates. But I promise that I will do my best to update as often as possible, and I promise that I won't just stop wiring...because I absolutely love writing!
Also, this was another smutty chapter, which means I'm self-conscious about it. So please let me know what you think! And, there is a herd of walkers...uh oh. Poor Daryl and Beth won't be able to go "hunting" for a few days.
And, if you haven't checked it out yet, please take the time to read my newest story, "Changed."
