***WARNING...Sexy times in this chapter****

Daryl read the letter that Carol had left behind, and thought he would be sick. She had faked the whole fucking thing, all in the name of love. She had played him and the rest of the group, and Daryl Dixon was now an angry man. Her actions had almost killed him and taken him away from the woman and child that he loved. Any sympathy that Daryl had held for Carol was gone.

Now they had a bigger problem, Carol knew exactly where they were located, and she knew the details of what would be going down in two days with Laurel Springs. He had no idea where she had gone, but knew she was on foot when she left. The worse thing was that not only did she put his group in danger, she would now put the entire community in Danger. How would someone react knowing that most of the survivors in this area had food, electricity, and even a plane?

Daryl took his frustrations out on the wall closest to him. The sheet rock didn't stand a chance once it met up with his angry fists. He began pacing like a caged tiger, breathing rapidly, and letting out a stream of profanities that would make a sailor blush.

Finally he spoke to Rick, who had sat quietly and let Daryl vent. "We gotta find her and eliminate her. She is a threat now, and we eliminate threats."

Rick was taken back at how cold Daryl had suddenly become. Daryl had trusted Carol, and she betrayed that trust. Rick could sense that to Daryl, this was worse than any type of physical pain he could suffer. Daryl didn't offer up trust easily, and now Daryl felt like a fool. He was blaming himself for something that he had no control over. Daryl was becoming his own worse enemy.

Rick quietly spoke, "Let's go warn your family, we need to beef up patrols and put a couple of teams together to try and locate her. Everyone needs to be armed and this evening we need to keep the lights to a minimum. The illumination is too easily detectable from a distance, especially if someone is now looking for us."

"Fine, let's go." Daryl's response was short and too the point.

It took them just a few minutes to make their way back to the Martinelli compound. Immediately when they walked into the house Anna could see Daryl was furious. He had completely shut down and she sensed a coldness to him that she wasn't used too. She didn't like him like this, but didn't want to challenge him right now either.

Daryl didn't wait for everyone to get settled he just began speaking, his voice cold and angry, "Carol faked the whole damn thing, and she played me and every last one of us for a fool, and the long and the short of this is that I fucked up. We are all in danger. If Laurel Springs gets wind of where we are, and what we have, then we are as good as dead."

Anna's heart sank. Daryl was blaming himself for what happened. He was his own worse enemy, and now he was internalizing his betrayal, and shutting down. She couldn't let him go down this path. He would destroy himself, and probably end up getting himself killed because he felt guilty.

Joe then spoke, "Daryl, take a deep breath and listen to me right now. I understand your anger, but you can't blame yourself for this…"

Daryl retorted, "Why the fuck not? I'm the one that lead her on, and I am the one who brought her here, now she is out there, probably wanting revenge on me and Anna, and she knows where we are. I wouldn't put it past that conniving bitch to walk right up to these assholes at Laurel Springs and tell them what we are doing. This completely fucks up our plans."

Marty then responded, "Daryl, don't take this all on yourself. Second-guessing your actions is never a healthy response. We still have time to change the plan. I will get everyone back up here this afternoon and we will explain that we have been compromised. No need for blame, its just a fact."

Daryl didn't say a word. He got up from the table and headed out to the back porch because he needed a cigarette, and a drink. It wasn't the best solution right now, but it was one that always worked in the past to get him through rough times. Carol had betrayed him, probably wanted revenge, and worst of all, she had made him second-guess the man that he had become. Had he let his guard down too much?

Marty, Joe, and Rick continued the conversation without Daryl. Joe immediately went to the radio room and made contact with the neighbors to let them know that they had a "situation". Joe was unable to raise the Blevins on the radio, so Isabella and Viv decided that they would take the Navigator and go tell them what was going on directly. The men needed to focus on securing the mountain and establishing lookouts. They couldn't continue to live in the false security that they had been living. Shit was getting real.

Anna wasn't sure how to handle Daryl. He was a mess and she hadn't seen him this angry before. She went and gathered up Hunter and then walked out to the porch where he was chain-smoking. He immediately put out his cigarette when she came through the door with the baby.

"Anna, I need to be alone right now. I can't handle anything good in my life for the time being. I'm sorry, but if you stay I am just going to say something that will end up hurting your feelings."

Anna replied, her voice held her own anger, "Daryl, Shut up. Just shut the fuck up now. I refuse to let you go down this path. You don't get to shut me out because you are upset. If you don't get this shit out of your system now, you are just going to let your heart turn to stone. You have to learn to let others help you when you are struggling."

Daryl looked at her but didn't speak, so she continued to talk to him. "I want you to stay here for a little while. Everyone else can handle things right now, because I don't think you are capable of making reasonable decisions currently. Now come with me." She grabbed his hand and led him to their room, not giving him a chance to say no.

When they entered the room, she went in and poured him a bath. While the tub was filling, she disappeared for a few minutes with Hunter. When she returned, Hunter wasn't with her. Daryl gave her an inquisitive look, and Anna replied, "Carrie is watching after hunter for a while for me. By the way, she said you promised her a rabbit's foot, guess that's cheaper than ten bucks an hour for baby-sitting fees."

Anna slowly began to pull Daryl's clothes from him and then guided him into the oversized garden tub that was in the attached bathroom. She pulled her own clothes off and slipped behind him in the tub. She took a wash cloth and began washing his back, neck, shoulders, chest, and stomach. When she slipped below his stomach she could feel his fully erect manhood. She took her hand and began stroking him, causing him to emit a low groan.

Daryl's eyes became heavily lidded and he had to fight the urge to pull her around and sit her on his lap so she could straddle him. Anna could sense he was trying to take control of the situation, and she wanted to be in control right now.

She whispered seductively in his ear, "Shhh baby, just relax and let me make you feel good, Ok?"

He nodded and let her continue to rub her hands across his body. She began placing soft kisses along the back of his neck, and then his shoulders, while still slowly stroking him. She could feel his heart beating, so very thankful considering it had stopped just the day before. She continued to whisper in his ear, "I love you baby, just breathe and let me savor your body…" Just the sound of her voice was driving him wild.

He could feel her erect nipples resting against his back, and her right hand was stroking his erection expertly, while her other free hand was running up and down his torso. The feeling of her touch was electric against his body.

When he could no longer take it anymore, he turned around and pulled her body around his own. He then began suckling her breasts, causing her to arch her back as the pleasure began to overtake her body. He stopped briefly and asked, "Are you healed up enough for me to do this?"

"It's perfect baby, don't stop." She replied breathlessly.

So Daryl continued to savor her. His tongue lashing at each nipple, and then he began placing gentle kisses along her collarbone and slowly up her neck. At that moment their lips met and their tongues began to intertwine. Anna began rubbing her lower body against his erection, becoming more desperate as the kisses began to deepen.

Her taught nipples were now being teased by his fingertips, and she began moan. The heat between her legs was growing, and her need to feel him inside of her was overwhelming. Without breaking the kiss, he stood up as she was still attached to him, with her legs wrapped tightly around his waste. He carried her out of the bathroom and laid her down on the bed, the bodies not losing contact.

He moved his mouth from hers, and once again began working his way down her body. Tasting every bit of her on the way down. He felt like he couldn't get enough of her, and continued to work his way lower down her body. Her hips thrashing up wildly towards him, trying to make contact with his body with her burning core. She had tried to control the situation with him, but now he had taken over her completely, and she wanted all of him against her body.

He moved his head down between her thighs, and gently began kissing them up to just below her womanhood. He could feel the heat radiating from her core, and slowly took his fingertip and began to rub her gently across her nub. She let out a gasp when he first made contact, and began to writhe across the sheets.

He could feel her nub harden with his touch, and wanted to continue further, so he slowly began to lay gentle kisses against her tightened bundle of nerves. Then as softly as he could, he took his hot tongue and began to lap at her wetness, causing her to scream out his name in pleasure. He began lapping her nub at an increased speed, and she began to buck wildly, seemingly losing control. He could taste her juices as he continued to lavish her with his tongue.

When he felt she was getting close to the point of no return, he pulled his mouth away from her, and stood up. She gasped when he broke contact, but before she could react, he suddenly plunged his throbbing erection into her silky hot center. She could feel him filling her up completely, and rocked herself hard against him.

He started off slow, just so he could maintain his composure, but Anna couldn't take it slow, her orgasm was building, and she was hanging on by a thread. She took over and began to control his pace. Every time he would thrust deep inside of her, she would clench her inner muscles, tightening around his erection and sending warm sensations throughout his body.

Anna began rocking her hardened bundle of nerves against him harder and harder, causing him to thrust faster and deeper. They were both heading quickly to the point of no return, suddenly Anna screamed out, "Oh God Daryl, Come with me baby, please come with me…" as her thighs began to tighten around him, he could feel her legs shaking, and her nipples were hard as rocks. She was having one of the most intense orgasms she had ever experienced, and pulled Daryl over the edge with her. He let out a breathless groan and she could feel his warmth spread inside of her. He collapsed on top of her, careful enough not to let her handle his full body weight.

Their hearts were beating so loud she was sure that everyone in the house could hear them, but she didn't care. She had just had one of the most intimate and incredible sexual experiences of her life and the look on Daryl's face was priceless. Between him panting and trying to catch his breath, she could see him smiling. A truly beautiful, genuine smile.

Whatever guilt he had been carrying with him an hour ago, was now gone, and he felt the weight of the world had been lifted off his shoulders. Anna had worked a miracle and found a way to get him to relax.

All the problems with Carol and Laurel Springs seemed a lifetime away, and Daryl didn't want this moment to end, but he knew that he had to return to reality. His plan of infiltrating Laurel Springs with Michonne's help was not an option, but they would find another way to rescue those people.

They would work together as a group to take care of the situation. Anna had helped him to realize that he couldn't do everything by himself. As a group, they could each take a piece of the burden, and he wouldn't have to take the weight of the world on his shoulders. His family was there to support him, and now he was there to equally support them. Their problems were his problem, and his problems were theirs as well.

He rolled over and kissed Anna, who was still glowing from their lovemaking. He pulled her body into his and began to gently run his fingers through her hair. "Did you like that baby girl? He whispered.

"Very much so Mr. Dixon. Now if we can both manage to stay healthy, I say we do that MUCH more often." She said as she gently stroked his belly. She could feel Goosebumps on his arms. She loved how he felt relaxed, with his arms around her. This experience that they just shared was pure bliss and helped them both forget the worlds problems just for a while.

Knowing that they needed to get up and join the rest of the family, they quickly fumbled for clothes and exited the bedroom. They both noticed how quiet the house was as they walked through. Carrie had managed to get the baby to sleep and was lying across Viv's bed drawing pictures on a sketch- pad she had managed to locate. It was good to see her being a normal kid.

Finally they came across Joe, who was down in the basement cleaning several of the guns. He informed them that Marty had left with Rick to try and track down Carol's whereabouts. Then Anna asked, "Where are Aunt Viv and Isabella, shouldn't they be back by now?"

Joe then responded, "Let me see if I can get Thomas on the radio and see when they left. Knowing the two of them they got caught up gossiping with Phyllis."

Joe got on the radio and was able to make contact with Thomas, "Thomas, Joe here, Have Isabella and Viv left yet? I was expecting them back by now."

It took a few moments for Thomas to reply, "Joe, they never made it here, I didn't know they were planning on stopping by."

Silence. The look of Panic on Joe's face was undeniable.

"Thomas, can you guys get over here now. Something is wrong, we have been compromised, and now I think they might have my wife…"

OK...I totally suck at writing sex scenes...so take that into consideration when reading this. Anyhow, I am thinking there will be about 5 or 6 chapters left. Hate to see this story winding down, but I don't want it to get to a point and then just drag with the day to day...

Hope everyone enjoys this chapter. Our Lady mobsters are possibly in a bit of trouble, and we wonder now if Carol might have a little something to do with it?

Enjoy my sweeties...

And thanks for all the reviews. Please feel free to review some more for me, especially since I plan on writing another story, and I want to correct any errors in my writing style, or story lines. Also feel free to share with your friends...

Hope y'all stick with me on the next one!
