Beth let Daryl pull her out of the house and down the dirt road. As they rounded the corner he stopped in his tracks as he saw the bike up on the trailer. In spite of himself, the corners of his mouth turned up into a smile. He let go of her hand and jumped up on the trailer to look it over. Beth smiled as she watched him run his hand over the bike. The way his muscles flexed in the sunlight caused her cheeks to flush as she watched him. She imagined his hands on her, caressing her. She thought about the way his lips felt on hers, his strong hands on her body.
"Beth, did you hear me?" Daryl asked, Beth jumping out of her daydream and blushing, hoping her thoughts were not written all over her face.
"I'm sorry, what did you ask?" She said softly, trying to shake the thoughts of Daryl's hands out of her head.

Daryl rubbed her arm as he looked around. The tree line that the trailer was up against was to wooded and also blocked by the fence.
"Dammit" Daryl said under his breath as he saw their only option.
"Ok Beth, get under the trailer" he said gruffly, not really liking the idea but it was all they had. Beth nodded and laid down on her stomach, sliding under and all the way up to the fence and tree line as she could. Daryl slid in after her. He laid on his side so he could attack if anything found them and to also block them from her.
