One Shot 11
Caught
It happened again. Daryl really couldn't rationalize why it kept happening. Try as they might to keep things private and a secret, living on top of each other had a way of canceling out any and all privacy they could hope to have. He was still shocked each and every time they got caught though, even though he should have known, the amount of times he caught Maggie and Glenn, he just couldn't believe that he never heard or saw them coming.
The first time they got caught it honestly wasn't that bad. Beth had been leaning against the ledge while they had been on watch and Daryl had absent-mindedly placed his hand over hers while they stared out into the fields and woods that surrounded that prison. T-Dogg had smiled at them as he made his way up the stairs and winked, and Daryl was oblivious as to why he was winking at them till Beth pulled him towards the stairs and he realized he had been holding her hand the whole time. Beth didn't notice or care when he dropped her hand and fidgeted behind her while they made their way back to the prison and away from her up to his cell to think about how he had gotten lost in her when she was fully clothed and silent.
The second time they got caught it was in a little office off the cafeteria. Daryl had grabbed her hand when she left the showers and smirked at her before letting go and leading her down the hallway. He hadn't thought anyone had noticed them, honestly everyone was thrilled that he had found Carol alive and they were still mourning Lori and T-Dogg, emotions were too high and no one noticed when they would sneak off together for a little time to themselves. Daryl had stumbled across the office when he had helped Rick and Glenn make sure their area was free and clear from walkers. It was a surprisingly clean spot with a solid door and a really comfortable desk chair. He had unbuttoned the top Beth had thrown on to wear and pulled off her pants and panties before parking her on the desk and scooting close to her in the chair and spreading her legs open. He had just lowered his mouth to her, only a few licks in, when the door had opened and Axel had walked, stared at Beth for longer than Daryl had liked and stumbled from the office. It wasn't exactly hard convincing him to not only never look at or bother Beth again, but to also keep his mouth shut. Axel had tried to explain that he had knocked, that he had heard a yes before coming into the office but Daryl had just threatened to kill him if he ever saw him near them again.
The next time they got caught it got a bit more complicated. Beth had pressed him back into one of the armchairs in the library and was "practicing" giving him a blow job. Not that she needed any kind of practice, Daryl couldn't imagine her being able to make him feel any better or be able to get him any harder. He had her ponytail in his hand and was rubbing his other thumb across her cheek when he heard the crash of the door being pushed open and met Carl eye to eye. Beth leaned over him to cover his privates and Carl ran from the room. By the time Daryl had adjusted himself in his pants and he and Beth were making their way back to their cell block Rick met them in the hallway with Carl. Daryl had to explain what he had seen and Carl got a sex ed lesson from Rick. Maggie had teased them relentlessly, asking what they could have possibly been doing to scare Carl that badly. Beth blushed whenever Carl looked at her and Carl had to leave the room whenever Beth took a sip from a bottle or ate with a spoon.
They had tried to be creative after that, but a few weeks later down in the tombs behind crates and boxes Daryl got pretty lost in Beth again. She was perched on top of him riding him hard and was mesmerized by her shiny skin and the way her breasts bounced, Beth pushed her hair back and smiled at him. Daryl's eyes rolled into the back of his head only to be shot open again when Beth let out a little cry. He looked up and saw that she was blushing and covering her chest, telling someone to get out. He quickly sat up to shield her body and looked over his shoulders to see that Merle had wandered down and across them. Merle took off running and laughing when he saw how mad Daryl looked, and truthfully he was livid. Could he not get a moment alone with his girl? He likely would have ran after him and gotten into a rough fight like they always did but once they were alone again, with more strength then he knew she had, Beth had pressed him back against the pillows and blankets they had brought and started to ride him again. He forgot all about Merle till the next day at breakfast when he caught him staring at Beth's chest and smirking at her when she blushed.
They had finally given up and decided to just try and be quiet, like Maggie and Glenn tried to be and stick to their cells with the privacy curtain drawn, sure they might be heard but at least no one would be getting a free show anymore. The very first time though turned out to be the last time they tried though. Daryl was pressing into Beth and kissing her neck when she turned her head slightly and gasped, and when Daryl turned to see who could possibly be watching them he was met with Judy's big blue eyes from her crib. She was sitting up and quietly watching them. Beth told him to get off of her and adjusted the top she still had on before sliding from the bed and picking the baby up to sooth her back to sleep. Daryl would have sworn if he hadn't know better that Judy had smirked at him for cockblocking him from her shoulder.
Daryl decided that he just needed to get outside of the prison to have some actual alone time with Beth. He had led her up to the roof, arm full of blankets and a small picnic in his pack to spend a few hours with her before he, Hershel and Rick would be leaving to meet with the Governor. Beth smiled when he pulled out a bandana with fresh wild strawberries, a small snack size bag of salted nuts and a glass bottle of lemon-lime soda. They enjoyed their snack before Daryl quickly pulled the dress she had on and guided her back down in front of him, stopping her from pulling off her cowboy boots. He let Beth undo the buttons to her shirt and pull him down on top of her and forgot about everything for the next 20 minutes. He didn't even know they had been caught again till he and Hershel were sitting against the hood of the car waiting on Rick and Hershel asked him to make sure Beth wore sunscreen if they were going to go to the roof again. He didn't think her boots had magical SPF powers and the sun was strong against the black tar roof. Daryl had blushed and only a few invading walkers had shaken him from the daze.
The next time they were caught it had been on purpose. Joe and the boys had started to grumble about how if Daryl wasn't going use her he might as well share. He had made sure they saw little touches and acted a bit more possessive than he was. That night Len had tried to get him killed, thankfully Joe had seen Len try to set him up. Beth shook so violently after having to watch them beat Len to death before shooting him in the head with his own bow that Daryl had held her close his entire watch, wrapping an arm around her and letting her lean back against his chest and sobbed quietly as she curled up between his legs. When they caught up with the man Joe had been looking for Daryl had thought he was going to have to watch them kill Rick and Michonne and do God knows what to Beth and Carl before doing them all in. Even though Beth had managed to run off when Rick bite Joe's throat wide open and kill the man that had already worked Carl's pants off when they went to chase after her and the man that was following her they saw someone pull up and grab her before hopping back in the car and speeding off. Daryl had shot the last member of Joe's gang as he ran after the car with Rick.
The very next time they were caught was when they made their way out of the hospital. Beth had a compress against her face and Daryl was walking closely behind her with his eyes down. She stopped when a fire truck pulled in front of the hospital and shook, obviously scared that she was going to be taken again. She let out a cry when Maggie all but fell from the truck and screamed as she ran towards her. Eugene and Abraham caught the tight hold he kept on her hand has her sister held her to her chest and the subtle way Daryl leaned down to inhale and smell her hair. Later on when they were held up for the night in a warehouse he hadn't even tried to hide. Beth had pulled her self beside him and snuggled into his arms and Daryl had kept pressing his lips against the side of her head, long after she had drifted off. Rick had come over with Judith and laid the baby against Beth, telling Daryl to stay put, he'd take his watch. Daryl just nodded and kept his arms around her and the baby. Maggie made her way over and thanked him again for not giving up on Beth and Daryl listened as they discussed where they'd go next. Beth stirred in his arms and sat up, she quickly convinced everyone to take Noah home. She would want to go home if she could. No one in their group voted against Beth's wishes and they soon started on their way to Virginia, not for Washington like they had originally thought, but towards something else.
The next time they were caught was after Aaron and Eric found them and essentially saved them. Daryl hadn't been given a job yet and Beth's only job was to take care of Judith who had decided she liked the pampered life behind walls with walks in her stroller, warm baths and powdered milk. She quickly and finally in Beth's words learned to crawl, and it and a full belly exhausted her. She was napping in the living room one afternoon when Daryl and Beth suddenly realized that they were home alone, with no one due back for hours. They attacked each other in the kitchen, Beth abandoning her mending and cooking and letting Daryl tear her panties off and lift her dress, pressing her facedown on the table. She didn't bother holding back her little cries as he let out little grunts as he moved in her. They didn't notice a neighbor had made their way over and up to the back porch, they mistook the situation and ran to tell Deanna what they had witnessed. Beth had to go over and fully explain that she wasn't forced, and that she could ask any of their group, they all knew that Beth and Daryl were together. Deanna apologized and explained that she had to make sure, she did not tolerate rape. Beth had explained that while that was a relief to hear, she was truly offended that someone would accuse Daryl of that after he had been nothing but helpful to their community. He already felt out of place and now he thought that everyone thought he was a pervert. When Deanna had tried again to calm her and explain they were just looking out for a young girl, Beth corrected her and said she was a young woman, who was of legal consenting age, and she'd thank everyone to mind their own damn business.
Daryl had refused to touch her or even be near her in public for a while after that. Aaron had vouched for him, letting everyone know he had known about their relationship before approaching them to come back, something Beth and Daryl hadn't realized. Eugene had said that he had never witnessed anything that wasn't consensual or initiated by Beth, something Daryl had found odd, but he appreciated the support none the less. He wasn't surprised that his stubborn little southern bell took matters into her own hands the next time he came back from scouting and recruiting either. Beth had noticed a decent sized crowd the very next time Aaron and Daryl came back and waited patiently while he parked the bike before launching herself into his arms. She quickly wrapped her skinny little legs around him so he couldn't just brush her off and grabbed a handful of his hair and kissed him forcefully in front of everyone, letting them know she wanted him. Daryl finally pried her off of him and kissed her forehead and cheek and let her lead him away from where the vehicles were parked. That was the last time they cared that anyone caught them….but not the last time they were caught!
