By the time they got to Adrianne's house it was two thirty in the morning and they were both wide awake. They had switched to coffee around midnight, so any alcohol was leaving their system anyway.

Daryl went right for the bathroom and turned on the shower, shucking off all his clothes and getting in like he owned the place. He knew Adrainne always liked to shower after working at Dale's, so it was obvious where she was heading and where she was heading tonight, so was he..

Dale still allowed smoking and she hated how it attached itself to her hair. Daryl didn't care, her hair always smelled like peaches to him. The best smell in the world as far as he was concerned.

When Adrainne joined him and wet her hair he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close against his strong chest. She sighed and welcomed his embrace, laying her head back against his shoulder. His body was hard against hers, until very recently they hadn't taken notice of it in this way.

Through the years that they had known each other, they had occasion to hug from time to time and they were aware of each other's bodies. But this was different; they were free to touch each other now, while before things like this had always been unspoken and off limits.

Daryl gave her a sweet kiss on the side of her head and when she reached for her shampoo he stopped her hand.

"Let me…"

Adrianne nodded and he held her a few more minutes before getting the bottle and squeezing some shampoo into his hand. As he washed her hair gently, because she was precious to him they talked together, they could always talk to each other about anything..

That was always something that came easy to them, years of friendship had made that possible. Daryl knew he had been hovering over her all night, staking his claim so to speak. He couldn't control it somehow, he was never the jealous type before with anyone, not even her, but now; well they had to talk about it. She had nothing going on with Eugene, and he knew that, but still. Closing his eyes and breathing her in he leaned down and kissed her neck as his hands massaged her hair.

"You ain't mad, are ya?"

"Why cause you had a few drinks and decided to piss on my leg?" She laughed, "It's fine, but we said..."

"I know, and I'm ...just not in front of each other ok?" She turned back to look at him, "That would just be mean…"

"Of course…"

"Listen, nothing changes right, that's what we said," He continued to rub her hair, and then lathered her shoulders and lower over her breasts, "I know …"

"Shhh," She turned around to face him, "Never in front of each other, I promise." She got on her tip toes and kissed him sweetly. Daryl ran his hands through her hair then helped her rinse.

"I care about you way too much Age to ever do that, or to hold each other down. When we're together, we're together, and when we ain't, we ain't, deal?"

"Friends first."

"Always," He answered as she rinsed the rest of the shampoo out of her hair..

Adrianne watched him as he washed his own hair next, as he looked up and let the water run down over his face she was reminded of when they were kids and went swimming all the time in the quarry by their houses.

It was hot, as usual, a few days before fourth of July, when they were fourteen or fifteen; Daryl and Adrianne were sitting on the end of the public dock with their fishing poles in the water. The dock was low enough so they could dip their feet in, they had a cooler full of Adrianne's special lemon Iced tea and a pail for any fish they might catch. They had been fishing together for years by this time and although they had multiple conversations all the time, sometimes the best ones happened while fishing.

The sun beat down on their backs and they were both sweating. Eventually, they would just jump in the pond, that usually happened when it was hot like this. They would swim in their clothes and let the sun dry them off as they laid on the dock afterward. Merle made fun of them sometimes, going on fishing dates and coming home with pails of fish.

The conversation of the day was marriage and love, they talked about everything together, even their dates and sex. They knew everything there was to know about the other's life.

"I can't wait to fall in love." Adrianne said.

"I hope I never fall in love." He replied, taking a sip of lemonade.

"Oh, Daryl come on…" She challenged.

"Nope, fuck that, love is just a fuckin trap and an excuse to sell candy and flowers on Valentine's Day, which by the way, do you know the real meaning of it." He knew she did, they had learned it in school, "I'm happy with life just the way it is."

"Whoring around? Not a good look Daryl." She laughed and he kicked water at her with his foot.

She kicked it back at him and reached for his arms. They wrestled for a minute and soon he let her push him in the water fully clothed. Daryl slipped under the water, came up quick and made her scream. He laughed at her acting all girlie and tossed his pole back onto the dock.

"Put yours down." He came closer to her and grabbed her foot. "Cause you're coming in."

Then he grabbed her other foot and pulled her off the dock. She let out a scream and fought him, but he knew it was bullshit. She wanted to cool off as much as he did.

They came up and treaded water continuing the conversation.

"Don't you want someone to be with, to talk to? Share things with?" She said popping her head up from the water.

"I got you for that." He said pushing his wet hair out of his face. "Hell, you're the longest relationship of my life."

Now, so many years later he picked her up in the shower, turned so she was against the wall and she wrapped her legs around his waist. The hot water beat down on their backs and they kissed nice and slow at first. The steam from the shower warmed their skin and soon Daryl kissed her with everything he had inside of him, devouring her mouth with his.

She was still the longest relationship of his life, he still didn't believe in love, but this was good.

"Are we clean enough to get dirty now?" He crooned into her ear, as he pushed his rock hard cock against her and she responded by moaning, "Well alright…"

Daryl kissed her again, sliding his tongue against her lips until Adrianne granted him access once again, his hands gripped her thighs as she reached to get him inside of her, the sooner the better.

"FuckmeAdrianne," Spilled from his lips all at one time. Daryl rarely called her by her full name, but it felt so right at this time, "God damn it, you feel so good."
"You too," She gasped out, gripping his massive shoulders to hold on as he adjusted her in his arms, "Oh, it's so good."

She was warm and wet around him, his mind was full of her, when they were together like this, nothing or anyone mattered. Daryl held her up against the wall as his lips traveled over her neck. Adrianne's hands dug into his wet hair and she pushed it away from his face to look him in the eye.

"This how you want it?" He met her eyes, pulled her closer and spread her legs wider, "Fuck that's nice Age…" He looked down to where their bodies were joined and groaned at the sight of himself going in and out of her, "You like that huh?"

"Harder, harder, I want you to fuck my brains out and leave me for dead," She groaned in his ear.

"Like this!" He pulled out almost all the way then slammed back inside of her hard. Both of them grunted with each thrust and Adrianne held on for dear life and gripped his waist with her thighs.

"More.."

His lips traveled over her neck and he sucked hard, it would leave a mark and he smiled slightly at the thought.

"Give it to me!"

"Fuck!" The water was beading down his back and it was so hot in the shower and she was whimpering as he kissed her again and again.

"Oh god Daryl!" She cried out, digging her nails into his back, which only spurred him on and on.

"Come on sweetheart," He gasped out still rocking against her, "Cum for me, cum for me Age…"

"Feels so good, oh god!"

"Come on," He rolled his hips against hers and whispered filthy words to her until her body responded the way he wanted, "Come on, come on…"

"Yes!" She pulled him closer to her, "Oh baby! Yes!"

Daryl could feel it even before she screamed, her pussy gripped his cock like a vise and he was gone to her; Adrianne's voice echoed in the shower, matched by his own screams. Her face was against his as they both rode the wave of her orgasm, from head to feet it rippled through both of them as he emptied every drop inside of her.

"Fuck yes!" He hollered, "FUCK YES!"

He gripped her still, and they held each other as the water flowed over them. They didn't move for a few minutes and then she looked up at him.

"You're such a good fuck," She whispered as he let her down slowly, "I'm gonna sleep for a week."

Daryl spent the night and as he slept next to her, with his arm draped over her shoulder, Adrianne dreamed of the dock at the quarry, and swimming with him when they were very young.
