"So are you like my chaperone now?" Beth asked amused, while they were making their way down to the showers. "If you want to call it like that, then yes girl." Daryl answered with a big smirk on his lips, never letting go from her shaking, cold hand in his. "But who will save me from your eyes, Mr. Dixon?" Beth teased him, she also tightened the grip around his hand, so he knew she was just making fun, but he already knew it anyhow.
"I won't even watch you girl, beside I couldn't sleep knowing that you are taking a shower all alone in the middle of the night and every pervert could watch you. Or even worse." Daryl answered seriously, when they finally reached the showers. "Yes, my chaperone." Beth said, before she let go from his hand and got inside the room, while Daryl leaned protective himself against the door frame, showing her his back.
Seconds had already passed since he was looking away, but he just couldn't hear Beth moving behind him, so Daryl finally looked carefully over his shoulder, even when he had told her not to look, but he got the feeling that something was wrong. "Everything alright back there?" He asked a little worried, when he saw her just standing in the middle of the room, looking at him.
"Yeah, it's just that.." Beth began to stammer and after she got a few steps closer to him, she added "Maybe you can protect me even better, when you are with me together in the shower, Mr. Dixon." Shocked Daryl looked down at her with an opened mouth and unbelievable he blinked a few times, just to make sure, that his tired eyes weren't making fun with him. Just the thought about showing Beth his scars made him scared that best he wanted to run away, run away as fast as possible from his fear.
It was instinct that made him shiver and feel damn ill, moving uncomfortable from one foot to the other. Getting his discomfort, Beth closed the distance between the two of them and laid carefully her hand on his lower arm, when she told him "I'm sorry Daryl. I didn't want to.. Just forget it. I will hurry."
Beth got away then, showed him her back now, so Daryl could calm down again. While he was still watching her overwhelmed, he suddenly remembered, that Beth had already seen his scars. She knew about them, knew how they were looking, but still she had asked him to join her. Even with the bad, disgusting dark scars on his back.
The big fear about what she will say, about what she will do, when she will get to know his secret, was already over since a long time. About what was he still so damn afraid? She had never told him to keep away from her, to stop. In contrast, Beth even wanted him to join her taking a shower.
Never in his whole life Daryl felt so comfortable and accepted like he felt with Beth together. So why was he still so ashamed, scared and even terrified? It could be sort of new start for him, making an end with his dark past, accepting what had happened and the person he had become.
What had he still to lose now? Or did he have ever had anything to lose?
Taking his whole courage together, Daryl made three big steps closer to Beth, before he could change his mind again. She had just opened the buttons of her sleeping dress and wanted to pull it over her head, when he reached her side and placed his palms on each of her arms from behind. Slowly he leaned down to kiss the warm skin of her neck with trembling, nervous lips, his whole body was probably being the same right now.
"Daryl." Beth whispered, while her eyes were closed, enjoying his touches and kisses. "I didn't want to force to anything you don't like or makes you feel uncomfortable. You don't have to do that, if you don't want it, Daryl." Like she wanted to secure him, that he really didn't have to do anything he wasn't ready for, Beth placed gently her palms on top of the back of his hands and carefully stroked his skin with her thumb.
Daryl stopped to cover her neck with soft kisses then and with his lips still so close to her body, he whispered "I know. But I want to try it sweetheart." Quickly Beth moved in his arms, till her surprised eyes met his still scared and worried ones. Getting his still present fear, she carefully covered his cheeks with her hands, stroked so tender with her fingers through his beard and gave him an encouraging smile to which Daryl finally response "But I only want to try it with you baby girl."
"I promise, I won't look or even touch them. I promise Daryl." Beth secured him with a truthfully, soothing voice, before she got on her tiptoes and almost shy she covered his still trembling lips with her tender ones. They let each other time, because right now they could, they had. Everyone was asleep and the one who weren't had their shifts outside on the guard towers. They were all alone right now.
With every more minute they were standing in the middle of the room and kissed closely entwined, tasted the other lips, feel the tips of their tongues brushing so gently against each other, moaning heated, pressing their bodies as close as possible together, whimpering needed the other name, Daryl slowly began to relax.
When he wasn't that tensed and excited any more, he carefully pulled Beth's sleeping dress with one big move over her head, so her golden locks were flying, looking again like an angel. Seeing her standing in front of him with just her sweet panties on, made Daryl's mouth began to water instantly.
Beth just began to cover her bare breast, because she was getting cold, when he quickly pulled her closer to his body to warm her up. Best he should hurry up a little, to get her under the hot water beams or she will really catch herself a cold. So he gently gripped her little panties and carefully pulled them down to her angles, getting in his knees, while doing so.
Almost floating with his fingertips back up over the length of her legs, over her sexy hips and finally up to her flat belly, Daryl finally had to close fascinated his mouth to swallow hard, before he whispered "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are looking sweetheart?" Smiling thankfully and also a little embarrassed up at him, Beth answered truthfully "Yes, you have Mr. Dixon. Already more than once."
Gently Beth began again to cover his warm lips with hers, letting her hands slowly wandering down, till she reached his belt and opened it easily with a familiar move. Before Daryl could even realise it, the ziper of his jeans were also already opened and carefully Beth pulled down the fabric to his knees.
He just wanted to lean down to open his shoes, when Beth suddenly got on her knees and opened them for him instead. For a few seconds she even looked up at him and her eyes and smile told him, that it was a pleasure for her to help him and that she didn't bother about it. She even helped him to step out of his clothes, like he had done by her before, but after Beth had stretched herself, she just placed a soft kiss on his cheek and whispered "I better get the water in a enjoyable temperature. I will wait for you inside Mr. Dixon."
With that Beth got into the shower and let him back alone, let him get the time he will need to take off his shirt and fear. Daryl could already hear the water running inside the shower since a long time, when his limbs finally got some life again.
He started with the easiest one, his boxers. It was almost funny, that Daryl was comfortable with showing Beth himself naked waist down, but completely uncomfortable, even terrified, to take off just his shirt.
Breathing deep inside his lungs, closing his eyes while doing so, Daryl remembered himself why he wanted to do this. Because it was already over, Beth had already seen his scars. Didn't matter what he will do now, go inside to her into the shower or taking on his clothes again, Beth won't leave him. He won't lose anything tonight.
After opening his eyes again, Daryl took his whole courage together and with his shaking hands he gripped the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head with just one move. His heart beated so damn fast inside his chest, that he thought that even Beth had to hear it.
The first few seconds Daryl almost thought he will get a damn panic attack, because his breathing was so irregular and his whole body trembled and sweated badly, but with every more second he was standing there completely naked, thinking about the girl who was waiting for him under the hot water beams, made him feel better, almost good.
With trembling legs, Daryl finally even stepped forward, opened nervously the glass door from the shower and got inside to Beth. She was showing him her graceful back, the water running down it like little rivers. She just moved her head a little and give him an almost unnoticeable nod, so Daryl knew she had got his presence.
First he was just standing as far away as possible from her body, trying to get used to the situation. Minutes passed by, till Daryl finally started to get closer to her, till his bare chest meet her tiny back. Beth gasped surprised and heated then, feeling the skin from this part of his body against hers for the very first time.
Slowly Daryl wrapped his arms around her middle, holding her close and not letting go again. A little exhausted from all the nervousity and fear, he leaned his head against Beth's shoulder, so the tip of his nose touched her soft neck. One of her hand she placed on top of his, while her other hand stroked gently through his wet, long hair.
Only then Daryl began to feel, to enjoy this moment. How the hot water warmed up both of their bodies, how good it felt to have her that close, skin against skin. He really almost drifted off to sleep, when Beth suddenly whispered "Don't be afraid Daryl. I won't hurt you."
Hugging her even tighter, he was so damn grateful for having someone like her. Someone who knew his thoughts, before he had even said them out loud. Who probably knew him better, than he himself. That he didn't have to feel ashamed or try to act like he was someone other, someone better, because she already exactly knew the man he was.
"I know, sweetheart. You won't ever hurt me." Daryl whispered, before he began to place hot open mouthed kissed on ever part of Beth's delicious neck. While he was giving her that pleasure, his hands were stroking gently over her warm belly, up to her breasts to massage them the way she liked so much, teasing her nipples, till they were swollen and hard.
Daryl got her message, when Beth pressed her sweet butt against his middle and leaned forward, supporting herself against the wall, like she was in a police investigation. His hands wandered down then, her moans got higher and louder with every inch he got closer to her middle.
After his fingertips had moved through her pubic hair, Beth couldn't stop any more to suppress a pleasant scream, when Daryl brushed lightly her sensible spot and found her, even in the shower, dripping wet entrance. "Baby girl." Daryl whispered overwhelmed, while he slowly began to work her with his fingers, making her feel good with them.
Filling her with the middle finger of his right hand, Daryl rubbed her heated clit between his thumb and index finger of his other hand. "Daryl. Please." Beth whimpered between clenched teeth, almost begging him and he exactly knew what she wanted so bad.
Supporting himself on top of her left hand against the wall, Daryl gripped between the two of them and guided his erection to her waiting entrance. With one big trust he pushed inside her, making them both moan almost a little too loud.
Slowly Daryl began to move, filling her completely and hard, after he had got almost the whole way out of her. Obviously Beth was searching for his lips, because somehow she managed to lean her head back, till their eyes met and Daryl instantly knew what she needed. His lips, his kisses, his tongue inside her, his warmth, his taste and his closeness.
With his right hand he was just always holding her close, massaging her breasts, stroking over the skin of her belly and chest, gripping almost a little tight her neck and rubbing her clit in the way Daryl knew she liked so much.
His head protected Beth from the water beams, when she half opened her dreamily eyes, looked up at him and whimpered exciting "I'm so close Daryl." Stroking her rosy cheeks with his thumb, he whispered gently "Then let go baby girl. I will follow you."
The second his rough fingertips were teasing her sensible spot, it was over for Beth. Her whole body was shaking, her moans and screams as loud as they were allowed to be, but her eyes got never closed and Daryl could almost see how her orgasm became the upper hand of her body, how her eyes filled with the pleasure, widened and got even more dark and full of desire.
And that was also the second when it got too much for him to handle and Daryl had to pull quickly out of her to spit everything he had against the skin of her lower back. Also his lips left deep, heated moans, when his balls were finally finished and his orgasm left Daryl's body again.
Feeling how Beth's body began to fall, after the feeling had also left her, Daryl easily caught her, holding her tight against his chest, leaning his head against hers. They were standing like that, till their breathing got into a more normal rhythm and their hearts stopped to try to spring out of their chests. Very slowly Beth began to move in his arms, till her chest pressed against his and since the second she had turned around, Beth was looking deep into his eyes, never looked away for just one quick moment.
"Is this okay for you?" She asked carefully, always wanting his best, making this scared situation as comfortable as possible for him. Not able to say even one word, Daryl just nodded his head, looking a little embarrassed down at her, while the hot water ran down his hair and skin.
After a few more moments, where he finally got more comfortable and used to the situation, Beth carefully and mildly placed her palm on top of his chest, never breaking the eye connection between them. In her beautiful eyes Daryl could read the question, if her touch was still okay for him and without hesitant he nodded his head. Giving Beth an answer to her unspoken question.
Just with her palm on his chest Beth took in his feelings, his warmth, his fear. Slowly, like Daryl's skin was fragile porcelain, Beth moved her palm tender up and down, feeling his skin under her soft fingertips for the first time.
Everywhere on his body Daryl got goose bumps, which made him shiver, even under the hot water beams. Trying to get his control back, Daryl breathed deep inside his lungs, while Beth's and his eyes were still spellbound to each other. He didn't know, if he should push and run away as fast as possible or gave in the need and lean against her gently touch.
Beth's soft fingertips were still giving him that amazing feeling, that Daryl just had to close his eyes for a few seconds. No one had ever touched him like that in his whole life before. He should have known it already before, that Beth's touches won't hurt him, that she took her time and care with him, that maybe her skin on his could heal him, at least a little. Just now in this moment, Daryl asked himself why he was always so afraid about showing her also this side of him.
After he had his eyes closed for minutes, Daryl finally opened them again and looked directly down into Beth's endless beautiful ones, which were still making sure, that he was comfortable enough, that she didn't scare or even frighten him. But Daryl knew Beth would never ever do that.
Slowly he leaned forward and supported his forehead against hers, never breaking the eye contact, only when he gave her the permission she was searching for, when Daryl nodded his head. Only then Beth stopped looking deep into his eyes and slowly her look wandered down.
He could feel her eyes on him, could feel the way her beautiful eyes made over his skin, how her expression slowly changed, when she obviously couldn't suppress to stop her mouth from gettingopened overwhelmed, her eyes widened and her left hand joyed her right.
Almost like her fingertips were floating over his skin, Beth slowly got down, till she reached the soft, dark body hair of his lower belly and almost unnoticeable she moved through it. Her palms she pressed against the hard muscles of his belly for a few seconds, tracing the outlines of his belly bottom lovingly with her thumbs, before her fingers slowly sliped up again.
Her palms were just moving between his nipples, when a warm shiver ran down his back and his eyes just couldn't look away from the beautiful girl in front of him. Sliding her fingers through his chest hair, Beth bit down on her lower lip, giving him the feeling that maybe she liked this view.
While Daryl was watching her, he just had to admin, that Beth was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. The faint light from the moon, which was coming through the old windows, hugged her skin just in the right way. She was shining like an angel and for Daryl she really was one.
Beth's eyes stayed a few seconds longer by his old tattoos, maybe thinking about what they could stand for, but they never had a meaning. Just one of the stupid things he had done, when he was younger. The dark, big scars on his back Daryl had seen just a few times in his life, when he felt strong enough to look into the mirror, but soon he got that he wasn't as strong as he had believed. Tears were streaming down his face, while he had looked at his own reflection. Feeling damn ill, hating his father even more or just breaking the mirror into a million little pieces.
Since the world had gone down, Daryl hadn't seen the scars on his back, but every damn day he could see the thankfully so much smaller ones on his chest and arms. The once he had got, when he was just too little and his father could simply smash him against their furnitures with just one hand. Some were from all the accidents he already had in his life, from stupid fights with people he had called friends once and by some he was just too young to remember about how he had even got them.
When Beth carefully moved her fingertips over his scars, like she could heal them with that, and her eyes looked so compassionate at his broken skin, some tears began to burn in Daryl's eyes, because it felt so damn good. He didn't feel ashamed or scared any more, he was like an opened book for Beth. Telling her his story without using any words. And she understood, she understood everything.
By the little freckles on his broad shoulder, she began to smile lovingly and her shining eyes told him, that she found them damn cute. Moving her palms slowly down his strong hands, Daryl began to shiver and Beth just had to feel his goose bumps under her fingertips. When she finally reached his hands, she stayed, took them in her so soft ones and squeezed them lovingly.
Daryl squeezed and even smiled back, while Beth was gently stroking the back of his hand with her thumbs, before she slowly let go again and made her way back up his arms, till her palms finally reached the back of his neck, she rested her hands there and softly she whispered "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are, Daryl Dixon?"
He didn't know what made him feel this way, but tears were glistening in his eyes, when he leaned down and placed a long kiss against Beth's forehead. Supporting her body against his, she even placed her head against his chest, so she could hear his heart beat wildly inside.
They were standing like that a half eternity, just holding her close to his body, not ready to leave this right now and obviously she also didn't want to end this special moment. Still closely entwined Daryl gently took Beth's left hand and leaded it slowly to his lips.
He could see it in her expression, how surprised and overwhelmed she was, when he kissed lovingly the scar by her wrist. He never broke the eyes contact between the two of them, the whole time he pressed his lips against her broken skin and told her with that how thankfully he was for the things she had done for him this night and everything before.
Daryl saw the tears glistening in her beautiful eyes, when he pulled away and whispered softly "You also shouldn't be ashamed about yours sweetheart." With glassy eyes Beth smiled up at him and with just moving silently her lips, she also thanked him for what he had done, even when Daryl didn't know what he had exactly done to make her feel good. Somehow their lips found their way to each other and they even spent a few more minutes with just kissing under the hot water beams, before they just had to stop and go out.
Daryl left the shower first and gave Beth a towel to dry herself, while he was doing the same and quickly dressed himself the now dry clothes. Only when Daryl had his under shirt on Beth stepped out of the shower. With just the soft towel around her tiny body, she looked so beautiful.
"Can you give me my sleeping dress, please?" Beth asked with her sweet voice, but when Daryl gripped the fabric he noticed, that wasn't dry yet. "It's still wet and cold sweetheart. You shouldn't take it on."
Looking down at herself, Beth curled her tiny toes, being unsure about going all the way up to her cell just with the small towel around her body. Daryl didn't know why, but he just had to smile to himself, while he watched her and without thinking about it too much he stepped forward and took her with one move up into his arms.
"What are you doing Mr. Dixon?" Beth giggled happily, securing her arms tight around his neck. "I will bring you to your room girl, so your feet won't get cold again." Daryl answered truthfully, but also he didn't want her to go the whole way almost completely naked.
"You are my hero, have I ever told you that, Mr. Dixon?" Beth asked amused, before she leaned forward and pressed a lovingly kiss against his cheek. "Maybe once girl." Daryl told her, while he made his way as quiet as possible upstairs.
When he finally reached Beth's cell, Daryl carefully placed her on top of the soft mattress from her bed. "Thank you, Mr. Dixon." She said sweetly, which made his heart to jump happily. Slowly Daryl leaned down and pressed a soft kiss on top of her head, when he whispered "Good night, baby girl."
But before he could pull away, Beth held him back and with her big, light blue eyes she was almost begging him, when she said "Don't go." If he was serious Daryl also didn't want to leave her, but they both knew he had to. "But sweetheart.. You know, I can't stay."
"I know, but you could stay for a few more minutes. Just till we.. we are finished." Beth whispered, her lower lip she sucked into her mouth after, which caused Daryl to smirk bright. "That good, huh?" Daryl whispered already crawling under her sheets.
"Now after I have seen and felt the hard muscles of your belly and chest I just can't think about something else any more." Beth said truthfully, which made Daryl speechless for a few seconds, looking surprised at her unsure expression, being afraid about saying something wrong, till he leaned down to her lips and whispered "Oh girl. Come here."
