Recapture
Chapter 29
Daryl struggled to catch his breath as he propped himself up on his elbows over Melissa, resting his body between her legs. He could feel she was ready for him as the warmth radiated from her body but he still had his own doubts in all of it. He couldn't help but feel stupid, knowing full well they were both naked, bodies pressed against each other, it would be hard for him to turn back now but a nagging part of him wanted to. The part of him afraid of disappointing her.
She ran one hand through the back of his hair and gripped his shoulder tight with her other. Leaning up she kissed him fully on the mouth and he couldn't help but slip his tongue into hers. He had wanted her for so many years and he wanted her even more now.
Melissa could feel his body tense up and gently pulled away from him and stared into his eyes. He looked at her as if he had been pulled back in time as that lost and angry teenage boy she once knew. "Are you having second thoughts?" She asked softly.
Daryl tried to speak but couldn't find the words. His constant hovering over her was beginning to drive her crazy but she did her best to remain patient with him. She had wanted to be with him since she could remember and now that the chance was here she was wondering what was holding him back.
"Do you not want me?" She asked but Daryl looked at her surprised.
"What?...no...I mean...course I do...it's just..." Daryl wanted to tell her everything he was worried about but he was too embarrassed.
"Just nothing then...don't make me wait any longer..." She whispered breathy until his ear sending a chill of desire through him followed by her mouth against his neck.
Daryl closed his eyes and slowly began to slide into her. She tilted her hips into him and pulled at his waist, pressing him in deeper. He couldn't help but moan as he felt the warmth inside her. Her mouth worked it's way across his shoulder as he breathed deeply and he started to pull out but thrust deeply into her again. She dropped her head back and gasped causing Daryl to suddenly freeze as if he was afraid to move.
"Did I hurt you?" Daryl asked, his voice shaky.
Melissa opened her eyes and smiled as she cupped his face in her hands. "NO!...Don't stop...you just feel amazing...you won't hurt me..."
Daryl couldn't help but smile slightly as he started to grind against her again. He covered his mouth over her and kissed her deeply as he began to pick up the pace of his rhythm. She met him with every thrust and he arched his back to enter her even deeper giving her access to his chest. Melissa leaned up and teased his nipple with her tongue before covering it with her mouth causing him groan loudly.
"Damn!" He couldn't help but utter as he gripped the back of her head to help support it against his chest, not wanting her to stop. She took the cue and leaned over to the other and did the same.
Daryl pressed his weight into her further causing her to lean back against the pillow, he couldn't contain himself any longer as he thrust into her as hard as he could, feeling himself pulsing inside her as he soon lost all his energy and grunted. He sunk into her, burying his face into her neck as he tried to catch his breath.
"I'm sorry..." He whispered knowing she didn't finish before he did but she kept her arms wrapped tightly around his back.
"Don't apologize..." Melissa reassured him.
Daryl lifted up and stared into her eyes. He cupped one side of her face in his hand and kissed her gently. He pulled away and just stared at her a moment.
"There's always next time..." Melissa told him but Daryl smiled her and began kissing her neck.
He made his way to her breasts and gently massaged one in his hand as his tongue teased the other. He paused for a moment and cut his eyes back up towards her. "I'm not done yet..."
Melissa couldn't help but giggle slightly as he made his way down her stomach with his mouth. She closed her eyes and ran her fingers through the top of his hair as he made his way between her thighs...

The others sat around the kitchen table, quietly eating but every now a then someone would let out a muffled laugh as they all tried to contain themselves. After awhile it became useless and they were all laughing. Carol sat at the table with her face buried in her hands but she couldn't help but laugh too.
"Man...an eye full of Dixon...don't know if I'd recover from that one..." Glenn remarked.
"I don't get it, what's going on? What's so funny?" Carl asked innocently as he stared confused at all the adults giggling like kids at the table.
"Nothing for you to worry about Carl...now eat your food..." Lori told him as she bit her lip.
"Alright, alright...let's all get a hold of ourselves...I don't want Daryl marching down the stairs leaving us to explain what we are laughing about so everyone...just get it out of your system now..." Rick stated but couldn't contain the grin on his face either.
"Wonder if it will make him less grumpy." Andrea remarked.
"Only time will tell..." Lori laughed.
.
Daryl rolled onto his back next to Melissa on the bed as she lay there out of breath with her hand across her chest.
"Oh God Daryl...that was worth the wait..." She remarked as she turned her head towards him.
Daryl turned to his side and scooted closer towards her, slipping his hand across her stomach, leaning in as he kissed her shoulder. He remained quiet but couldn't help but smirk a little, feeling quite proud of himself. All the worry and fear he had when they first started was long gone.
"I can't believe we're finally here...after all this time..." Melissa remarked. "Thank you for not giving up on me...you could've just never returned to the house and if you hadn't...who knows what would've happened..."
"Don't talk like that...my instincts never failed me before...but it don't matter...I did go back and now you're here...far as I'm concerned ya ain't going to be going nowhere for awhile..." Daryl told her.
"Funny how it took the end of the world to bring us back together...you won't be able to get rid of me so easily this time." Melissa smiled at him. Daryl leaned in close and kissed her on the mouth.
Daryl pulled away slightly. "Like I said...you ain't going no where..."

A/N: This may seem abrupt compared to my other stories but I'm just not feeling it any longer for this story unfortunately. I really loved it when I first started writing it but once the writer's block set in for this story it never seemed to come back to me for it. I wanted to at least throw some smut in there at the end since that's what everyone was waiting for although it didn't go "perfectly" for the two of them. I hope you all aren't too disappointed. That's how it goes though...some stories will go more smoothly than others and that's what I'm chalking this one up to. Hope you understand. Please continue reading my other stories and giving your feedback. It's been a great learning experience and I'm grateful to all my loyal readers!
