Negan and Michonne found three walkers in the house. All of them had been in one bedroom upstairs and looked as if they had been freshly killed. One of the women had skunk looking hair. Michonne forgot her discomfort over the memory she had had about Negan, and began to really concentrate on what they were looking at here.

Once again, they were at yet a new camp with fresh supplies. And even the walkers looked as if they had been killed recently. Beta had been here, which meant that Beta could also come back.

Michonne was so busy thinking about all of this, that she scarcely noticed when Negan disappeared. Or seemed to. He had said something about looking for supplies downstairs and she had just nodded, while checking closets that had fluffy towels in them. She began to take a mental inventory of everything that was here as well. They never did get the chance to take the stuff from the camp that Carol was attacked at. Maybe they could go back there.

Michonne slowly went down the stairs again without feeling much discomfort from her sprain. She saw a back hallway and ventured down there. It was as she grew closer to one room, that she heard the sound of bubbling water. Curious, yet wary, Michonne eased into the room and saw…

A hot tub!

And Negan was already undressed and sitting in it! He was also guzzling champagne that had been found someplace here. Michonne stood in the doorway and shook her head!

"Really? Beta could find us here at any moment, and here you are in a hot tub!"

But as per the norm, Negan was not even remotely scandalized.

"Yeah and that giant bastard would have been here by now if he was going to get here. It has been YEARS since I've been in one of these! God and this wine is actually chilled! The fucking fridge works…" he trailed off as his eyes ran up and down her between sips.

"That's nice. I'm going to begin loading things into the truck. I'll wait for you out there." Michonne responded and began to turn away. But Negan's next words stopped her.

"So, how about joining me?" he asked.

Michonne turned back around.

"No, Negan."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to possibly die in a hot tub with you. If Beta or even a walker came in here…"

"There are no more walkers that can get in the house here, and the water will be good for your leg. Come on, Warrior Princess, relax and have some fun with me." he asked in an fake, pouting tone. He was grinning at her between sips of champagne.

It was as Michonne was about to refuse his request again, that she saw caught sight of Beta, through a window, running through a cluster of trees towards the house!

"Damnit!" she hissed and turned to cut him off at the front door! Negan saw the problem and cursed, wondering why the fuck Beta didn't chase Maggie and Darryl instead? He jumped out of the hot tub and ran after Michonne, naked, to the front door to back her up! Michonne locked the door, but of course it did no good, as Beta crashed through the door, splintering the wood! Michonne pulled a knife out and stabbed him in the throat! Beta began to gulp and gasp as blood spewed out, hitting both Michonne and Naked Negan. He then dropped to the ground!

They both watched him for a few moments but Beta did not rise. Negan broke the ice.

"Let's drag him to the hot tub room to we can keep an eye on him while we're in there." he said in a low voice. It was then that Michonne noticed he was naked and images of the two of them ran through her mind. Negan assumed the odd expression that flitted across her face was because he was naked, and grinned!

"Awww! I'm touched, Michonne! Truly touched! And you'll get to touch whatever you want when you join me in the tub back there."

"Negan, stop it, okay? We need to get back to Alexandria."

"We 'need' to make sure that this bastard is actually dead and spend some time alone. We have a lot to talk about. I'm dragging his body back to the hot tub room. Then I'm getting back in to get some of this blood off me. Your clothes are ruined as well so stop fighting me on this." he told her, as he reached down and began to drag Beta backwards.

"Christ! What does this fuck eat? Bricks?" Negan complained.

"Negan, he destroyed the door! Walkers could come in!"

"We'll move furniture in front of it." Negan said casually. "You want to help me with this bastard?"

Michonne walked over and took an arm while Negan took another and they slowly dragged him back to the hot tub room. Negan then got back in while Michonne took her very sweet and long time, blocking the door with furniture. So long, that Negan began to call out!

"What's taking so long, Warrior Princess?"

It was not simple to find enough furniture that was heavy and tall enough to block an entire front door! And she could've used Negan's help! But she finally put the finishing touches on the 'door' as she stood on a stool and rested a heavy toaster oven at the top, before climbing down and slowly heading back to the room. Beta was sprawled out on the floor, the knife still in his throat. He should have at least turned by now.

Negan was sipping champagne and had his eyes closed!

"You know, Beta could've gotten up at any time." Michonne told him. Negan's eyes opened, and the look he gave her could've gotten her pregnant!

"Get undressed and join me." he asked. He was not smiling anymore and his tone seemed almost as if he was quietly begging.

"I'll get undressed upstairs and come down in a towel, okay?"

Negan sat up!

"Up fucking stairs? Why? Oh come on, Michonne, just take your clothes off and hop in here! We've made a child here! I don't see why you're being so shy…"

"We did not make a child! RJ is Rick's." Michonne said coolly.

"Okay. Okay, how about this: I don't mention our son anymore during our time together if you just get in here with me now?"

Michonne was actually tired of his begging. And unfortunately, because of her flashback, she knew he had seen her naked before. She sighed, nodded and then began to undress. She ignored the look of outright lust on Negan's face when she was finally naked She then bent down to rustle through her pants for a pin for her dreads. She pinned them up and slowly got in. Far away from Negan.

Negan, of course, moved close to her and handed her a glass of champagne.

"Now, isn't this nice? There's a dead bastard on the floor and we are alone, away from the judgey people in Alexandria." Negan noted. Michonne just nodded and began to sip the champagne, as Negan suddenly caressed her face.

"What are you doing?" she asked, trying to shy away.

"You passed out at the Sanctuary. I wanted to see if you were feverish. You're not, so what was that all about? What happened?" Negan asked in a tone that sounded very much as if he was not asking.

Michonne sipped more champagne, for courage, then spoke.

"I remembered something."

"What do you mean?" Negan asked. He sipped his drink while twirling his hands in some loose dreads around her face. The liquor relaxed her enough that she did not mind.

"You know what I mean. Something made me remember the night Rick disappeared."

"You mean died, don't you?"

"I mean disappeared." Michonne said, sipping more bubbly. "I guess I might have been in your cell."

Negan grinned madly! He then moved even closer to her. What he wanted to do was pull her into his lap! But he also decided he would be on his best behavior, while she told him what she remembered about their lovemaking. For decency's sake.

"Is that right? What did you remember?" Negan asked.

"What do you think?"

"Well which part was your favorite?"

Michonne eyed him.

"What do you mean, 'which part'?"

"I liked it when we were against the wall. You just really gave yourself to me in that moment." Negan said, as his lips moved towards hers…

Michonne slowly rose out of the water and Negan's eyes glinted with lust! Holy Christ she was a Goddess! He began moving his head between her legs…

"Against the what? We were on your cot!" Michonne huffed.

"Yeah, at first." Negan said, stopping his forward motion.

Michonne threw her champagne down in his face! Negan sputtered and stood up as well!

"What the hell was that for?!" he snapped at her.

"I remember your coaxing me into having sex with you on your cot. Then Siddiq came in and yelled."

Negan raised a brow. He reached out slowly to caress her arm.

"Honey, no. We were just getting started on the cot. I yelled out 'hot damn' or something like that but Siddiq didn't come in until we were up against the jail bars. Now come back down into the tub…"

Michonne slapped Negan! Negan's response to her slap was to seize her by the waist and yank her down with him back into the water, and on to his seething and waiting penetration!

Michonne gasped at his sudden invasion into her depths, but could not help but marvel at how deeply Negan filled her! He reached up and unpinned her dreads before whispering against her lips!

"There was something between us in that cell, years ago and there is something between us now. You're mine, Warrior Princess. You belonged to me when you made love to me on my cot. You were mine when we were pressed up against the wall in my cell…you were mine on the floor that night when you called me 'Negan' instead of Rick. You knew who I was in that moment when we made RJ…" Negan trailed off as his lips suddenly captured Michonne's and he began to kiss her hungrily.

Michonne told herself that she wanted him to stop but she returned his kisses with a hungry fervor she had not felt in years. She began to lose herself in his earthy passion, just as Beta rose from the floor, pulled the knife out of his head and gave them both a menacing look.

Darryl, Maggie, Dwight, Sherry, Aaron and Eugene, got back to Alexandria. Darryl, who had been driving, stopped the van they had been in, as soon as they crossed the gate threshold. He jumped out and asked Rosita about Negan and Michonne.

No one had seen them.

Carol hurried towards them, seeing that things had went very badly. Maggie looked as if she were no worse for wear. She walked up to her.

"Are you alright?" she asked her. Maggie nodded.

"I'm fine. I need to see if Herschel is okay." she said but Carol blocked her.

"He's fine. I think you need to tell everyone what's going on here. No one seemed to know you were married to a killer." Carol told her. Maggie eyed her.

"He wasn't a killer when I was with him." she said but Rosita walked over and joined them.

"But he is now. And I understand that you want to bring him here into Alexandria. Where is Ezekiel? I don't see him here." Rosita asked.

Darryl answered that.

"He's dead. I had to kill him."

"You killed Ezekiel?" Aaron asked. He then looked at Eugene, who looked just as surprised. Yes, Ezekiel had helped Dwight and the others take him and Aaron away, but they both figured he would be dealt with back at Alexandria, or he would join Heath permanently.

"What was I supposed to do? He was working with Heath and his people. He couldn't live." Darryl reminded them. Rosita peered at him.

"Heath? Heath who used to live here? Where did he come from?"

"I don't know or care. He had some half assed plot to throw us out of here and take over Alexandria. And he had Dwight and Sherry helping him."

"Dwight is back?" Rosita asked, her tone becoming hostile. Dwight and Sherry emerged from the vehicle and Rosita gave them both the stinkeye.

"You were told not to come back." Rosita said, moving close to Darryl. Dwight eyed Darryl and pulled Sherry close to him.

"We came back to kill Negan. We got pulled into Heath's crap. He wanted Negan and all of you gone, not dead. Things got messed up when Beta was pulled into this. He killed everyone we were working with, Heath included."

"Where is he now?" Carol asked, moving to Darryl's other side. She eyed Rosita. Why the hell was SHE standing so close to Darryl? And another thing…she had gotten a good look at Cocoa and Carol thought she looked like Darryl! She didn't know what was really going on around here, but she had decided something. Even if she wasn't actually married to Darryl, she wanted him anyway. And Carol would be damned if she was going to let anyone else around here get her hands on her man!

Darryl scarcely noticed how close anyone was to him, as he looked now at Eugene.

"Negan is full of shit and he plans to take over Alexandria with his lies. Can you or Virgil rig up a test to find out whether RJ is Negan's?" he asked.

Eugene nodded.

"Something can be done. But two of the principals are missing from this equation."

"I get that. I'm going out to find Negan and Michonne." Darryl said.

It was Michonne that pulled herself out of Negan's passionate embrace and noticed that Beta was alive-yet again! And yet there was only so much she could do but squirm and writhe to free herself of Negan's fiery bulk in that moment!

"Negan!" Michonne breathed. "Beta!"

Negan saw what she saw and moved to lift Michonne off of him before it was too late! Michonne got free, but not before Beta yanked Negan by his hair and shoved him under the water!

"Let go of him!" Michonne practically screamed, as she grabbed Beta's hand and tried to dislodge it from Negan's hair! Beta looked directly at her while attempting to drown Negan and said, 'Michonne'.

He then let go of Negan and he bobbed back up in a frenzy, coughing and sputtering! Michonne pulled him close to her, while keeping an eye on Beta.

"You're alright." she told Negan, as he attempted to catch his breath.

"No I am not!" he wheezed. "That giant fuck tried to kill me!"

But Michonne and Beta were engaged in a staring contest. He had called her by name. Either he had learned it from Maggie, which she somehow doubted, or he had known it before. Before what, though?

"How do you know my name?" Michonne asked coldly. Beta suddenly grabbed her by the throat and Negan, now getting his bearings, struggled to wrench her free!

"Get off of her!" he yelled.

But Michonne did not flinch or even wheeze, something Beta noted. She just stared at him, as if somehow she knew the truth. Beta slowly released her and Michonne emitted a few coughs. Negan looked from Beta to Michonne and guessed something more was going on here as well.

"Tara recognized me in the end. She knew." Beta said. Negan looked at Michonne. Tara? Tara? He had heard about her but he didn't think he had ever met her personally.

"Tara?" Michonne asked, rubbing her throat.

"Tara is just as responsible as all of you were. At the prison." Beta said.

Michonne now slowly stood up, uncaring of her nudity. Beta stared at her blankly, just as uncaring. Negan stood up as well. This psycho planned to kill them both and his eyes swept the room for a way to escape the hot tub and Beta.

"So you knew Tara?" Michonne asked, thinking that if she just kept him talking, it would give her the time to think of a way out of this. She should have never gotten into this damned hot tub with Negan!

"My wife and my daughter were killed in your prison massacre." Beta answered calmly. Negan had no idea what in the living fuck this asshole was talking about! But Michonne did. And he watched her as she reacted to his words and then…

Michonne didn't hear Beta's words.

She saw Rick. Rick and something he did when he was once faced with seemingly impossible odds. Michonne grabbed Beta's face and bit into it—hard! Beta, who found the attack unexpected, roared with pain and rage as Michonne shoved him away and spit out his face chunk into the hot tub water!

Beta recovered by lifting the hot tub up and turning it over, sending Michonne and Negan spiraling out of the enclosure and in to a flood of water, that rushed them out of the room and into the hallway! Coughing and sputtering, Negan helped Michonne up and they looked back and watched Beta slip and fall!

"Let's get the hell out of here! That was totally bad ass move you made there!" Negan beamed with pride. Michonne could only cough up water and whatever blood was still in her mouth from her attack on Beta. But as they hurried out to the truck, jumped in and drove off, Michonne could not help but take in the fact that both of them were still naked!

"I am not going back to Alexandria like this!" Michonne snapped, now finding her voice.

"Yeah I know! There are kids there." Negan replied, as he sped down the road, as if kids seeing them without clothing was the only reason they couldn't present themselves back at the stronghold. He had an idea.

"Let's find one of those other camps with supplies. Some of them had clothes in them. We'll change at one of them, get some supplies and go back home. Then…then we throw all traitors out, Michonne. It's the only way." Negan said, looking over at her. Michonne did not reply, as she was still recovering from her intimate encounter with Negan, and what she had done to Beta.

Negan took one hand off of the steering wheel and covered one of her hands with his own. Michonne looked down at his hand within hers and squeezed it.
