It had been another day and it was still raining, but not thundering as bad at least. She still couldn't get signal on the computer though. But that wasn't her only issue and she'd had enough, "I can't do it anymore."
"What?" Daryl sat up from his laying position watching as she stood, putting on a jacket.
"I have to go to the bathroom." She told him, "I can't hold it anymore and I'm not as lucky or fearless as you are."
He tried to not smile at her last statement, and he started to stand, "I'll come with you."
"It's fine." She headed for the door, putting the hood up.
"You'll get soaked." He gave one last attempt, he wasn't going to push to hard when it came to privacy like this.
"I'll get soaked whether your there or not." She grabbed a flashlight and headed down the ladder, already getting soaked through her jacket.
Daryl waited inside the tower. He listened to the beating of the rain and knew that she was going to be cold more than likely when she got back so he pulled the heater out and a spare blanket. Stopping when he heard a sound, he moved towards the door, opening it and listening again. When he heard the wolf howl for a second time, he ran to the bannister not caring about the rain to see if he could spot Ren.
She had heard the wolf and cursed that this would be the time that the pack Daryl was tracking would show up. Not when she was up in the tower of course. She heard him calling her name and quickly pulled up her pants. Grabbing the flashlight, she stopped when in the distance she saw reddish brown fur and golden eyes staring at her.
Daryl couldn't see her tracks from up there, he didn't know which way to look for her so instead he started climbing down the ladder, he'd be able to get an idea from there. He needed his bow though just in case. Running back in quickly he grabbed his weapon and when he got back out, he heard her yelling his name.
She was close, she knew she was close, but the wolves were on her heels. Ren ran with everything she had and when she broke out of the tree line she ran straight for the ladder. Daryl was already aiming his crossbow at the pack and when Ren was out of the way he shot. She heard a whimper and wanted to turn back to look but couldn't.
Her fingers grabbed onto the rungs of the ladder and she started making her way up. Her foot slipped when her other shoe was grabbed by the sole by one of the wolves. The wet rungs made her almost lose her grip too, but she clung to the ladder as she tried to get back up with a wolf connected to her leg.
Daryl leaned over again to try and get the wolf off of her, but he didn't want to risk hitting her. She had no other choice. Moving her free leg up she slammed it down on the wolf's head and it fell, her shoe along with it, and given the sting, maybe part of her foot too. Using all the strength she had she pulled herself up the ladder mostly with her arms, using her good leg every now and then to give her a boost.
When she was close enough, Daryl grabbed her arm and lifted her up the rest of the way, the two of them falling back onto the floor, rain pouring down over them, his arms tightly wrapped around her. He took her cheek and asked, "You alright?"
"I kicked the poor thing." She said.
He wanted to laugh at her, but he was still to worried about her. They could both still hear the wolves down below, but they paid it no mind. He helped her up and brought her inside before going back out and bringing the ladder up, so the wolves didn't claw at it trying to get to them. Walking back in, he looked at her. She was drenched from head to toe. Her hair was tussled and stringy, some of the strands in her face, and her button-down shirt was soaked despite being under her jacket. Her jeans were dripping, she was missing one shoe and not putting much weight on the foot that was missing it.
Quickly he grabbed the blanket he'd gotten out and walked over to her, wrapping it around her before pulling it tight. He helped her over to the cot and she watched as he looked at her foot, "Ain't deep, just scratched ya. It'll hurt for a day or so though."
"Okay." She nodded and he proceeded to wrap her foot for her. She watched him as he carefully took care of her, for some reason her stomach was in knots. When he was done, he noticed she was still shivering so he turned on the heater and gently pulled her from the cot down in front of the heater. She looked at him, "What about you? You're soaked too."
"I'll be fine." He told her but the look in her eyes said she wasn't going to let it go. "I'll be there in a minute."
He went back outside to check for the wolves and the pack had pretty much wandered off without anyone outside to go after. When he went back inside, he sat next to Ren in front of the heater, but she was still shivering. He wasn't sure what else to do to help her get warm, but then she put some of the blanket on him. Daryl looked at her confused and she said through shivers, "You're cold too and there isn't another blanket."
"You're to nice, you know that?" He told her.
"I've been told, among other things." She answered scooting closer to him so more of the blanket was on him. They were shoulder to shoulder and so he put an arm around her so that way she could get more of the blanket back without it looking like he had less.
"A wolf bites you and you get upset that you kicked it, you're freezing, and you share your blanket…" He looked down at her.
"They're critically endangered." She said then asked him, "Did you kill it? The one you shot?"
"Nah." He looked away from her, from those damn green eyes looking at him with the damp hair around them, "Knew you wouldn't like it. Just hit 'em enough to slow 'em down."
"You were worried about me." She tried to hold back her smile. Daryl rolled his eyes and kept from looking at her and she couldn't stop her laugh, "You were! I was raised by four men, I know what the protective worry look looks like."
"You need to start worrin' more about you." He looked back at her, "Your boss treats you like a trophy, you were lettin' a man live with you without contributin' anything, you care more about the wolves that were gunna eat you than about the fact they were gunna eat you, and you focus to much on your work you don take care of yourself."
He was looking at her like that again and she was starting to realize what it was, and why she liked it. "You weren't at all what I was expecting on this trip."
"You ain't what I thought you would be neither." He told her, "But it don't change the fact you need to look out for you, world ain't that nice to nice people like you."
"If I did that though, I wouldn't be on this job." She responded, her voice was soft with a smile, "You think I wanted to come here and do this? Because I didn't, but they needed the best and they said that was me, so I did as I was told…and I met you."
"From now on then." He pushed the blanket back onto her but didn't move his arm from being around her.
"Okay." She said as she leaned up, her fingers on his cheek, as her lips met his.
Daryl froze despite the fact he'd wanted this before, he just never expected it to happen, and not like this. When she quickly pulled away, he looked down at her, still slightly shocked, "Why…why'd you do that?"
"Because I wanted to." She answered simply, a heavy blush across her face, "Because I like the way you look at me."
Ren saw as his eyes moved from hers to her lips and back. Getting up on her knees she leaned into him again, her hands on his shoulders. She could feel his hand on her back, gripping it slightly, his other one still on the ground next to him. He shouldn't do anything, he should stop her from making a mistake, but her fingertips brushing against his neck were sending chills down his spine, and hand that was on the ground moved to her face, pushing the locks of hair out of its way, cupping her neck as he leaned up, meeting her halfway.
The kiss, which at first was static, became heated. His fingers gripped at the back of her neck as she pulled herself onto his lap, their mouths opening more. Daryl felt her trying to move the blanket off of them and he helped, but their mouths never once separated. He wanted her closer, he wanted to feel as much of her as he could since he'd only ever been able to look.
With the blanket gone, she pressed herself against his chest, he was warm, solid, and his arms around her made her feel safe despite being in no danger, it was a strange feeling she'd never experienced before, and she liked it. A slight moan escaped her as their tongues met, moving against each other, and soon their hips were too. Ren couldn't understand how she wanted him this badly all of a sudden, but she did, and she could feel underneath her that he wanted her too. Quickly pulling her hands from him, she tossed off her jacket.
Daryl knew what this meant, and even if he wanted to stop, he couldn't. She was like a damn drug, the way she touched him, he was aware of every finger and the ability it had to send shockwaves over his skin. Lifting her up slightly, he cradled her head as he laid her down and moved atop her. God, he wanted her, he wanted every inch of her, and being on top of her made it even more apparent.
She started undoing the buttons on his shirt and Daryl took this as his cue to proceed with her shirt too. Once his was undone he was working on the still wet fabric and peeled it from her damp skin. He had to hold back a growl as their skin touched, if it were anyone but her, he'd have ripped her clothes off and gotten what they both wanted by now, but he didn't want her to stop him, not anymore, all he wanted now was her. His hand moved around her back to her bra and unhooked it, removing it from her swiftly.
Breaking away from her mouth, he moved down her neck and chest, finding her breast and the erect bud on it, causing her to gasp. Her fingers tangled at his hair as he sucked and lightly tugged at it, her thighs gripping at his hips, grinding them together. With every nip and suckle she could feel herself getting wetter and wetter and feeling him through his pants wasn't enough. Reaching between them she undid his pants, sliding her hand in and wrapping it around his hard length.
He let out a moan as she stroked him, his ability to hold himself back was getting harder and he moved his hand to her pants and made quick work of the button before starting to pull them off of her. With her hand removed from him, he was able to think a little clearer as he tossed her pants and underwear to the side. As he pulled off his own, he reached for his bag, thanking anything and everything he hadn't taken Merles condoms out of there and he pulled one out.
Ren's mind was a blur as she pulled his mouth back to hers while he put the condom on. One of her hands went to his back and she felt him tense, so she quickly moved it to his shoulder, his muscles relaxing again as he began to line himself up with her. A pool of anxiousness and heat was in her lower stomach as she felt him against her entrance and when he pushed in, she gasped at how hard he was inside her.
Stopping after the thrust, Daryl took a moment to steady himself inside of her. She felt perfect, better than any other woman had before, better than he'd ever thought anyone could feel. Her fingers gripped his skin tight as he began to move finally, her breathing heavy with the pleasure he was bringing her. Ren moaned as he gripped her hip, moving her thigh up so his thrusts could reach deep inside of her.
Daryl broke the kiss, his head against her shoulder, as he lost himself in the way that she felt, sweat bubbling on their now hot skin as she arched her back to him, his name leaving her in a whispered moan. She was already getting close, every thrust pushing her closer to the edge and she'd never cum this soon before, but she wasn't complaining at all as she tightened around him, her fingers pressing into his shoulder.
He pushed through her orgasm although it had felt amazing enough to make him cum, but he couldn't stop. Not yet. She was intoxicating to him in that moment and he knew he'd never have this again, so he wanted what he could get while he had the chance. His lips trailed her shoulders and neck, kissing and nipping at her soft skin, skin he'd looked at many times, skin he'd wanted to taste and was now finally getting the chance.
Clinging to him as he increased his pace and moved his arm under her back, she knew she was going to cum again soon. It'd been a while since she'd came more than once. She spoke through heavy breaths, "Daryl…Daryl I'm going to cum again."
Her tone almost made him explode, the whine dripping with ecstasy. He moved back to her mouth, tongues meeting as they both neared their ends. Feeling her start to tighten around him again, stronger than the last time he knew he was going to cum, but he was determined to make it through hers, he wouldn't do that to her, she deserved the fucking world and he'd be damned if he was going to cut off her orgasm.
He let out a low moan as she finished and he finally came, his fingers gripping her tight. When he was done, they both laid their catching their breath. Neither of them knew quite what to do. Ren reached over and turned the heater off and Daryl took this as his cue to grab his pants, which he quickly slid on.
As he headed towards the door putting his shirt on Ren took the chance to put her damp clothes back on too. Standing up on shaky legs, she couldn't believe that just happened, but she really liked it. He was already outside with a cigarette and she opened the door just enough to get out without pushing him to far into the rain.
Daryl handed her the pack of cigarettes as they huddled underneath the small awning and he tried not to look at her swollen lips or tousled hair, it would just make him want her again, even more than he already did. She didn't know what to say, she wasn't used to situations like this. Should they talk about it? Should she tell him how much she enjoyed it? Anytime she caught him looking at her, he would quickly look away, so she looked away too.
When they were done, they both went back inside and awkwardly Ren laid down on the cot and Daryl took his spot on the floor, and they went to bed without saying a word.
