Chapter 3

Beth laid her head against his chest for a long moment, letting her hand play with the hem of his shirt. Finally she looked up at him, a fire hot in her eyes. "Daryl. It's not yer turn. It's mine." Daryl grinned and she returned it. "Will you teach me to do that for you?"

Daryl didn't know how much teachin' he was doin' but Beth was a fast learner anyway. She was in his lap now on the blanket and Daryl was trying to relax and go easy as they kissed sweetly. But relaxing was a hard thing to do once her tiny hand found it's way down his pants and started playing over his heated skin. He was already hot and hard from watching Beth come to orgasm and as she took him into her hand to discover him Daryl felt his balls tighten uncomfortably. "Jesus… Beth."

In a vain attempt to distract himself, Daryl pulled her face closer and nuzzled kisses into her soft skin, letting his lips travel from her mouth up to her forehead and around to her temple and then into her hair. Daryl couldn't resist breathing in her scent. She'd showered at the prison this morning and he could smell her shampoo and the scent of her. She was like a perfect mixture of honey, strawberries, and woman. She was intoxicating. Daryl wanted to whisper in her ear, tell her how fucking amazing she was, but he couldn't even begin to think of what he'd say and he didn't want to screw it up. Instead he found her earlobe and ran his tongue around it, kissing her gently right underneath. "Beth", he whispered it to her like a prayer as she continued to run her fingers against his skin below.

Daryl suddenly had the crazy notion that he'd like to stop. Just stop her hands from moving on him and take her in his arms to hold her against him. Feel her heart beating against his, listen to her sweet breathing in and out, and hold her close and safe. Just the two of them, alone in this moment. That was insane, right? Thinking of cuddling when he had an incredible girl in his lap with his dick in her hand. Maybe he was really losing his mind. He pulled back to look at Beth and her smile unnerved him. Like she knew what he was thinking. He kept having the notion that she could hear his screaming thoughts, but maybe it was just written all over his face. In either case, she didn't stop what she was doing to him. With one hand, Beth pushed lightly on Daryl's chest, urging him to lay back as she continued.

Beth's soft feminine touches were something wholly unfamiliar to Daryl. The women who had ran their hands down his pants in the past were all rough girls with rough hands and rough touches. Beth wasn't grabbing or clutching. She was caressing lovingly. Exploring so innocently. And as much as Daryl would like to say that he was man enough to hold out, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to. Not with these new sensations running through his blood and his brain like some of Merle's drugs; "good shit", as he used to call it. And as much as Daryl hated to admit it to himself most of those new feelings, the ones that were blowing his mind right now, weren't even about sex at all.

Daryl's head was tilted back, his neck exposed so that Beth could see as he swallowed hard. His eyes were clenched tight as if he was struggling with something heavy. Beth didn't know if that was good or bad. Maybe she was hurting him somehow? "Daryl? You ok? Am I doin' it right?"

Daryl's head snapped up to catch her eyes. She looked so uncertain. In response, Daryl just nodded at her and removed her hand. He reached down to unbutton and unzip the material that was holding him back. Once the rest of his clothes were discarded, Daryl laid back and replaced Beth's hand on his cock. He tried to say something, but was a bit embarrassed when nothing came out. Why was he nervous now?! He cleared his throat and grinned as he blushed. "Just like you were doin'. It's perfect. And try running your thumb like this." He showed her how to caress the vein along the underside while she stroked him and Daryl thought he was gonna black out from the pleasure. He watched her as her big blue eyes took in his reactions. "Hey. Ya ain't gonna break it, ya know. Hold it a big tighter, go a little faster, mmm… a bit harder." So she did as he instructed, and Daryl instantly regretted it because it meant this was all gonna be over real soon.

Daryl squeezed his eyes shut and pulled his hands up over his head, leaving his body to Beth's disposal. All he could really do now was grunt, thrust his hips, and moan as she massaged him to the edge. Daryl thought nothing could feel better than this. 'Handjob' was such a fruitless term, this was so much more than some casual sexual fling as that term might indicate. Every caress from Beth felt like a kiss to his soul. This was definitely not how Daryl imagined his day would end up when he woke this morning. The emotional tangle inside of Daryl now was pushing him to the edge even more than the physical effects of her caresses.

Just as he felt the inevitable wave of orgasm start to build in his groin, Beth stopped and sat up straight, running her hands down along his thighs. Daryl's eyes flew open in a panic, searching for the reason she just up and quit on him when he was so close. "Beth?!" His cock ached and throbbed, begging for release. Beth's tender hands were still caressing his thighs softly. The strokes were delicious, but not nearly close enough to Daryl's main concern as he would have liked. Daryl sat up and reached for Beth, intent on pulling her down and… he didn't know what. There were so many wicked scenarios running around in his head to choose from. "No!" Beth pulled away out of his reach.

Daryl just sat there in shock for a minute looking at the gorgeous blonde as she gave him the cutest pout he'd ever seen… and then she grinned wickedly. "You got to explore and now it's my turn." She scooted up beside him on the blanket and leaned over so close that her nipples teased against his arm. Daryl shifted to pull her close but Beth was quick to catch his wrists and pull them back down to his sides. "No touchin'."

"Beth." Daryl's tone was serious and warning. He didn't like this game. He wanted to touch. He wanted to squeeze and kiss and lick and fuck the livin' daylights outta this damn girl. What did she think she was up to?

"Daryl. I said no touchin." Beth's tone equaled the seriousness of Daryl's. "Just watch."

Beth splayed her soft hand across the hard expanse of Daryl's chest, rubbing wide circles across his shoulder blades, tracing back down his torso, barely skimming across his tight abs, and then back up. Her eyes never left Daryl's as he continued to look at her in confusion. Her hand circled again, but this time she found one of Daryl's nipples with her nimble fingers and pinched quickly. Daryl jumped and sucked in a quick breath, looking at Beth in wonder. "Good or bad?" Beth asked with concern.

"G…good." Daryl knew he was bright red, but he couldn't figure out if it was frustration, embarrassment, excitement or lo… something else… that had his blood all worked up.

She giggled at him softly and kept massaging his chest and squeezing his nipples in turn as she leaned forward so suck his earlobe between her lips, nibbling gently and then caressing his skin with her tongue as he had done to her moments before. "Relax, Daryl. I just want to keep going a bit. I don't want it to be over yet."

Daryl turned his face to hers and smiled, nodding in agreement. The smile she returned took his breath away. It took all his strength in that moment not to pull her underneath him and make love to her for all he was worth. God, how had he not noticed Beth like this before today? And how in the hell had this happened so suddenly? He stopped caring as Beth kissed him again. Hard. He tried his best to pour all of his emotion into that kiss. He was like a drowning man gasping for air against her, begging for more. He was groaning against her and she was moaning back. Somehow she was back in his lap now and his hands were drawing her close.

Beth pulled back, though, running her thumb across Daryl's bottom lip and biting her own in contemplation for a moment. Daryl just waited to see what she was thinking. Her lovely smile returned though and she laughed down at him a bit. "Nevermind. We can come back to the exploring later." She pushed him back again with force as her mouth started trailing downward. Daryl could only watch in shock as Beth's pretty mouth played over his nipples, down his abs, her tongue swirling around and dipping in his navel.

Beth's hands stroked along the vee at his groin, seemingly savoring the feel of his tight muscles under her hands. She looked up at Daryl again before dipping her head to kiss all around his shaft, ignoring it for the time being. She spread Daryl's legs a little further and he let his head and his eyes roll back in anticipation. He felt rather than saw as Beth took one and then the other of his balls in her mouth, caressing them with her tongue and sucking lasciviously. Daryl simply couldn't take any more and he definitely couldn't look at her in that moment. His hips were trusting involuntarily now and the orgasm that had been building previously was back suddenly with him dangling on the edge. He just needed her to stroke him a couple times and he'd be…

Beth suddenly took the head of his cock into her mouth, pulling his whole member as far into her as possible, and began to suck. Daryl hadn't expected it and he was unprepared. He sat straight up and grabbed Beth's head gently as he came hard and suddenly, thick streams of cum shooting straight into the back of her throat. Daryl couldn't control it, but he winced as Beth gagged at the surprise explosion.

Daryl was embarrassed beyond belief. If this had been any other woman, he wouldn't have given a fuck, but this was Beth. Sweet innocent Beth Greene who wouldn't have understood that he couldn't help it. Sweet innocent Beth Greene that he had just fallen in love with, his mind shrieked. And for all she knew he did that on purpose, Daryl thought. He shouldn't have come in her mouth like that and so suddenly without warning. He was still coming and she hadn't moved away, he realized. Regardless of his trepidation, as he looked down into Beth's bright blue eyes all Daryl found was acceptance and trust, passion and happiness.

They continued to stare into each other's eyes as Beth continued to suck ever so gently, running her tongue around the head of his cock, as Daryl came down from his orgasm. Daryl stroked Beth's beautiful blonde hair back from her face and took in the amazing sight before him.

When she was satisfied that Daryl was done, Beth swallowed one last time and gave Daryl her best 1000-watt smile. She had never even imagined that Daryl could make noises like that. To be honest, she didn't think Daryl even knew that he'd been nearly screaming at the end. She didn't even have to ask if he enjoyed it. Beth had never imagined doing that with a man would make her feel so powerful, but it did. The other girls back in high school had made it sound gross and humiliating, but this… this was none of those things and she couldn't wait to do it for him again.

Beth was still smiling when Daryl pulled her up and sat her in his lap. Beth quickly marveled at how comfortable it was. She thought it would be embarrassing to be pressed nakedly against a grown man like this, his softening cock pressed between them, her nipples laid into the solid weight of his chest, her center dripping into his lap below them. But it wasn't embarrassing or uncomfortable. It was natural and right. Daryl kissed her fervently, his tongue probing into her well-used mouth. Beth pulled back sharply and covered her lips as she blushed. His mouth had just been on her most intimate parts and hers had… oh God… what she had just done with her mouth was so…messy. They couldn't kiss after that.

Daryl understood what she was thinking and usually he would have thought the same, but not this time. To be honest he didn't give a flying fuck about anything where Beth Greene was concerned. He just wanted to kiss her, hold her so tightly she bruised under his touch, and love her so hard that neither of them could remember who they had been before they had fallen together like this. Daryl chuckled at her and removed her hand from his way. "Hey," he whispered, "It's alright. Ain't nuthin' to be embarrassed about."

Daryl forced his tongue back into Beth's mouth and let his mind wander to the next filthy thing he could try with his new-found lover. After his bit of encouragement finally registered in her brain, Beth gave up her worry and returned the kiss with equal enthusiasm.

Their hands had just begun to explore each other again when there was a loud BANG from the front of the store. Something had hit the steel entrance door hard. Beth and Daryl both froze. They had been so passionately involved that they had missed what was happening around them. When they were finally paying attention, they heard it. The scraping of body parts along the metal of the building, loud thunks against the walls, groaning and moaning from the undead like rolling thunder from all sides. It sounded like a thunderstorm that was gaining in intensity around them.

Despite the noise level, Beth leaned forward and whispered in Daryl's ear worriedly. "Can they get in?"

Daryl looked at Beth and gave her a squeeze of reassurance before pushing her away and throwing on his clothes to investigate. He honestly wasn't sure about the stability of the building, but he did know one thing for damn sure. Nothing was gonna touch a hair on Beth's head. He'd find a way to get her to safety, even if it killed him…
