Fuck my life thought Daryl.

It was bad enough that Carol was on watch with Tyreese tonight. Even though Daryl trusted her he was jealous of Tyreese's smooth demeanor with the ladies, something Daryl couldn't accomplish if his life depended on it. But now Merle was well enough to climb the stairs and he and Beth were celebrating being back in their private room up on the perch.

"Heh heh heh," Merle's rasp filtered into Daryl's cell. "Didn't think I was that fast didya nursey?"

"Mr. Dixon, I've warned you before. I can't have you touching me while I'm conducting an exam, it's a violation of professional ethics. Now when you made the appointment you complained of a sore throat."

Merle chuckled. "Take a look, I got a bigger problem now."

"Oh my! Has it been like this a long time?"

"Most mah life sugar."

Daryl groaned. Fuck. The naughty nurse. Daryl had enjoyed the hell out of the roleplay when Carol sprung it on him but Merle couldn't seem to get enough of the shit with Beth. Pretty much everyone in the prison had a good appreciation for Merle's love of sponge baths by now.

"Mmmm, ya look a little flushed nursey. Maybe I oughta take yer temperature."

"Mr. Dixon, I can't possibly fit that in my mouth!"

"Oh, I got a different technique girlie. Ya just climb on up there and let me do the work."

Daryl groaned and sandwiched his head between two thin pillows. This was going to last entirely too long. Soon Beth was giggling and Merle was encouraging her. Daryl heard the sound of Merle's hand slapping Beth's ass.

"There ya go, turn around there. Thought I saw a tick on ya, just makin' sure ya clear."

There was an indignant squeal from Beth. "Merle Dixon don't you dare…."

"Just bein' thorough now. Ain't nothing in there. Ceptin mah finger."

Daryl slammed both pillows down to his sides. "Fuck Merle, get it done already! Tryin' ta sleep here!"

"Don't mind my roommate there sugar. He was admitted with somethin' seriously up his ass, appears ta be stuck sideways."

There was a loaded silence followed by an eruption of muffled giggling and the sounds of flurried movement and whispering. There was relative silence for a few minutes and Daryl began to relax into sleep. His eyes popped open as new whispers floated in.

"I can't."

"Yeah ya can, go on now."

"He'll hear."

"I don't give a fuck if the whole block hears."

"Merle!"

"Couple weeks ago I was more dead than alive, would you have turned me down then?"

"No, Merle, I love you. That's not fair."

"All right then don't get all doe eyed. Just remember how bad I needed a nurse then."

"To wash your chest like this?"

"Mmmm yeah baby." Merle grunted loudly, "FUCK, ya make me crazy when ya bite them. Suck that harder, damn ya learn fast."

In their cell Beth came up for air and Merle pulled her up to kiss her roughly. She weaved her fingers into his short hair, rubbing her body against his slowly. They settled in together kissing deeply and uttering soft moans when they shifted against each other. Several doors down Daryl rose on his elbows suspiciously and listened. Silence. About fuckin' time, he thought.

He heard Merle's bed creak a little and he listened again, but heard nothing. He leaned back on the pillows and closed his eyes, trying to think about nothing as his arms and legs relaxed. He felt his mouth open a little bit and some drool puddle down the side of his face but he didn't care. He was almost there when he heard Beth's breathless question.

"Mr. Dixon, can you show me how you've been solving this problem on your own?"

"Yeah sugar, ya come help me out. Grab those gentle like, yeah that's good. Now this with ya other hand…"

"Is it always this swollen and hot?"

"Jest you wait sugar."

Daryl sat up. "FUCK Y'ALL. Merle, I hope ya dick fuckin' falls off!" he yelled as he stomped out of the cell and down the stairs. He heard Merle's voice floating down, "Ya have ta forgive my roommate, he ain't had nobody ta help him with this technique till recently, makes him a little irritable."

Daryl flipped the bird in their general direction as he stalked through the block and exited the prison. When he got up to the tower Carol and Tyreese turned to him in surprise. "Get the fuck out," Daryl said to Tyreese. Tyreese looked at him questioningly. "What's goin' on man?" Daryl jerked his head at Tyreese and said, "Ya get a free night, go on."

Tyreese gladly agreed and Carol looked at Daryl curiously. He smoked a cigarette with a surly expression and she laughed. "Naughty nurse again?" she asked. Daryl snorted out a plume of smoke. "I think Merle didn't get enough attention as a baby or somethin'," he growled. Carol smiled and kissed his cheek. "I'm on laundry tomorrow," she grinned. "I'll make sure that Beth can't find her scrubs for a few weeks." Daryl smiled and pulled her to him and they finished out their watch leaning into each other.

Please review, I'm really counting on some to keep me motivated! AG
