"Yeah, I don't want the walkers to smell me as I head back to where my friends and I are staying at. Plus it has been a while since I have had a good burger or steak. What did ya plan on cooking?"
"I laid out a big steak. More than enough to feed Norman and I. Norman is my dog by the way."
"Sounds good to me. Why is his name Norman?"
"I named him after my favorite actor."
"Who? Daryl pondered.
"He plays in the movie the Boondock. We will have to change that tonight. I found the movie at a store and grabbed it up. No point in being bored at night."
As she finished dressing the wound she pointed out the towels and stuff and told him if he wanted to shower he could, that she didn't have soap cause to clean of a smell and they noticed it. What the hell was she doing telling him this stuff and why did she care for that matter. Also that there were clothes that probably fit him up stairs and she would wash the clothes he had on.
"Thank you." He smiled at this. Why is he smiling at this woman he just met and tried to kill him? He couldn't help it thou. Something about her made him do so. She wasn't like most women he knew in his past and not like any at the prison. She was different simple and small town like he was. He liked that and wanted to know more about her.
"Well when ya get done come on out. It will be a bit before I can get ya clothes and get yours in the wash. But the towels were plenty big enough to wrap around ya. I am going to get the dinner started."
"I will wait then. "He said, "can I help ya with cooking?"
"Wash your hands first but ya if you want to," she said.
As they walked back to the kitchen/living room area. She headed to the sink where she had the steak in a bowl already pre seasoned. She washed her hands and so did he. She grabbed the steak up and laid it on the cutting board. Will you get me a knife out of the block over there, please?"
He walked over to the knife block and grabber her one. "All you cooking is this steak?" Why did he question that he wonder. She was being nice enough to share it as it is. He should want more, but he was hungry.
"No. I have also gotten out some green beans the people here before had canned. Will that be enough?" Why did she care if it was enough? She was already sharing the food as it was. He shouldn't ask for more.
"Okay. Thank you for sharing. I know it is hard to come by food now. I shouldn't have asked for more than the steak."
"It is fine. I like to cook. I haven't cooked for more than me and the dog in a while now." She said taking the knife from him. "Can you get me the cast iron from above your head there and a pot from under the island? Please and thank you."
She couldn't lie. She did like to cook. Always had liked to cook. It did make her happy to cook for more than just herself and the dog. As he laid the cast iron on the stove and moved to get the pan from under the island she caught herself checking him out. As he got back up she quickly turned back to the steak to cut it up into good sizes and getting the bone out for her dog. Good God help me. He is one sexy man. The way he looks, the sound of his voice, and that butt. She could help but not be a little blushed when she caught herself even thinking of it all.
He noticed her face had flushed a little bit. "What's wrong, hun?" He asked. Again he is calling her by an endearing name. Why is he doing that? Yes he found her to be beautiful and he did notice she was someone he would like to get to know but still. Most likely she'd be gone by the summer after finding out that the CDC in Atlanta was gone. So no point in trying anything.
"Nothing, "she lied. As he set the pan on the stove as well she asked him to turn it on to low-mid heat and point where the can of beans were at on the counter top. After finish the steak and tossing the bone to Norman. She walked over and lay the into the steak cast iron. Went over to the sink and washed her hand again. The whole time thinking to herself why did she blush at noticing him? She walked over to the fridge and put out the butter.
"I love butter fried steak. It is like you knew I was coming, "he laughed.
"Same here. Plus with how things are you kinda need all you can get to stay healthy. These people must have been planning this to happen or something like it anyways. This place is fully stocked for two to live for a year or so easy." She told him.
"Well if you move on then. I will have to remember that and come get the stuff." He stated to her.
"I don't plan on it came too far for nothing. No point in going anywhere." She said softly. She wasn't lying after he told her what had happened she made her mind up that it would be easier to just make this place a strong hold a fight it off. No point in trying to fight out there. Here she could be safe. Out there she never knew what could happen. This place had steel doors, bullet proof windows that she boarded up, and was made of brick. It also had a upstairs so she could see if someone was coming and shoot them down before they got to the house if need be. Plus, a place for her mules as well.
"Well if you want you can join us? "He asked. He should have run that by the rest of the group first. He even thought for a second he could stay here with her. It wasn't far from the prison. Not like he couldn't go over there or anything. Plus, he was sure the group would be fine with that. He still is close enough to them, so why would they care. Also, he is a grown man if he chose to do so he could.
"No. I don't do crowds. Well not right now. But, if you like you could come keep me company?" she smiled.
What did she just ask? I heard her say that with that, she liked my company at least. I think I will take her up on that. Let Rick know about her of course and let the group know that he would be going back and worth. He liked the idea of it really. Rick would probably want to meet her thou. He thought she would feel weird if he brought him here."I'd like that a lot. It is crowded now. So getting away would be nice. You should at least meet my friends thou, so they know not to shoot ya and you to not shoot them."
"I can do that at least. Don't want to many people here thou. Don't want the walkers here and all. Not like this place would be going down easy. Still."
She really just said that. What was she thinking even inviting him back? God she felt stupid. She notices as she gotten closer to him that he had a musky smell. She liked it. "Do you care to stir those, and how do you like your steak?" She asked him.
"Medium."
"Again the same. "She laughed.
Wow he couldn't believe that. They liked the same type of steak. He notices she had a sweet smell to her. It was nature also. Cause she didn't have any soap other than the dish soap that he had seen. He was slightly turned on by the fact she smelled that way. They were standing close enough he could easily lean down and kiss her is he wanted to. She was the one who had put herself that close as well. Yes the stove top wasn't huge, but there was room. "So since the beans are warm. How much on the steaks?"
She looked up at him and said," About five more minutes. Give or take a few." The she looked back at the steak.
After the steaks were done, she turned off the stove and went to get the plates. Brought them back over and lay one steak on each plate and put one in the dog bowl in the floor and made a click nose. The dog that was in front of the fire place had gotten up and walked over to the bowl to eat. Fixing the rest of the plate, she put the rest of the green beans in the bowl as well. The dog looked up and wagged his tail. Walking over to the table with the plates. She motioned for him to sit. "What would like to drink? Got water and homemade wine. Also got some shine, too."
"Homemade wine you say. What favor?"
"Well this place is riddle with blueberries so I made blueberry."
"Sounds good to me."
As she grab two glass from the top shelf. He could help but notice her. She had a nice body. Well-toned, so she must had done those traps but herself. She had a nice butt he noticed, as well. She could make wine. He loved that idea. This also means, she been here a lot longer than he thought. "How long you been here?" He wanted to know, because he had thought it was only a month. Given no one seen her.
"Since fall started." She said as she walked over to the table swinging her hips. Carrying to glasses and the wine.
"So for about two to three months then huh?"
"Something like that." She poured him a glass of wine and herself. She looked at him and then started to eat.
Taking that a sign she didn't like to talk and eat.
After eating dinner, she had put the plates in the sink to wash them later. Walked over to the t.v. and d.v.d. player. Turning them one she had taken out a c.d. she had. Putting in a movie. "I wish to shower before I watch this movie, but before I do. I would like to get your clothes to go in the wash with mine." She said to him in tone that said she was tired of not being clean.
"Okay." He said as he stared at her. Then turning to walk away to the bathroom. He turned and asked for the clothes she said she might have.
She walked up stairs and pulled out some sleeping pants for men. These should work she thought. Look long enough. He might have to tie them tie. They should do the job thou. Coming back down stair walking to the bathroom. She waits until he had gotten in the shower before opening the door. "Hey coming in. Got the pants. Just put the towel on the floor with your clothing. Okay."
"Okay. Thanks." He said. Kind of wishing she would have joined him in there though. Again he couldn't answer why he had thought that. What was up with him, he wonders. God she is a good cook. He could warm up to the idea of coming over or maybe even moving in with her. Again, it wasn't far from the prison and if he told Rick to not have many people know where this was and only he and maybe Carol know where it was would be fine. God, she smelled so good. He caught himself thinking about her head in his lap and him stoking her hair.
Now done in the shower he turns it off and gotten out. While drying of he looked around. She had been keeping this place clean and already had her clothes lain out for tonight. Wait where was he going to sleep he wondered? Maybe with her. Who knows where it might lead to?
Now out of the bathroom. He walked into the kitchen area noticing she was putting the plates in the dishwater after she had washed them. Done putting the in the dishwasher. She closed it up and started it. Grabbing a glass of water she walked over to the cast iron. Seeing it was already back one heating up, she pour the water into it and quickly had taken the dish towel to it. The grabbed it up and poured the water out. Walking it back over and putting it on heat. She put what looked like lard into it. Then turned it off. So she also knows how to care for dishes the right was as well. "I am done in the shower." He told her.
"Okay. Thank you for telling me."
She walked passed him. She went into the bathroom. Getting into the shower she decides to shave her legs. She had company. Wearing sleeping shorts with hairy legs not a good idea. After about thirty minute she grabbed at the peppermint shampoo she had under the sink. Washing her hair made her feel better. With everything going on she found her way of dealing. She laughed at the idea of that.
Done in the shower now. She had gotten out and dried off. Dressing herself she thought he will need a bed tonight. The couch wasn't big enough and she used the other beds in the house to pad up the window in them. The master being the only room up stair. She didn't think about it. Guess he will have no choice but to bunk with me. She smiled at that idea thou. Not thinking of having sex with him, but more of she will have someone else with her in bed. To curl up to, to share warmth with and to fall asleep with.
She walked into the living room. Seeing that he poured some more wine into the glass. He must not have anything but water to drink. Sad really, she thought, that he or his group didn't think of doing this. It made since to do so. One to have something other than water and two for the fact of keeping your body healthy as well. She knows if you drink too much it will be bad for a person, but a little bit will help your heart and kidneys.
She mentions," looks like you will be bunking with me tonight in the master bedroom up stairs. I have used the beds in the rooms down here to block of the inside window in those rooms."
With his back to her, he played with that idea in his head. Deciding on the fact that he liked the idea. Not really for sure why but he did. "Okay."
"Guess I will start the movie now. "She paused to look at him again. Now he wasn't wear a shirt she could see his toned body. The scar from where he had been shot within the last year or so. Some small scaring in other places. It didn't look bad thou. Made him look rugged. She like how he looked. She had to admit to herself. "It will take it a few minutes to load up and start. So if you want to bring that with you, you can. Go ahead a pour some glass thou." Turning to the living room and walked to the couch and sat down.
As she walked away he looked up at her. He noticed how she looks. Now only wearing the sleep shorts and tank top. He had seen a scar on calf muscle. He followed from there though to notice she had a well-toned body. Her butt was great looking; she had an hour glass look to her body, and the way her hair fell on to her back in those curls. She looked like an untamed woman. As if she was in the Celtic days of the world. Beautiful scarlet color hair. He thought to himself of what Merrel would say to him right now' red heads are one hell of a fuck.' Dismissing that idea in his head, thinking she probably wouldn't want to do that with a stranger. On the other hand, she had been tending to him as if a wife or lover would do. She was gentle with the wound she had given him earlier and she cooked for him when she didn't have to. Thou he could help but noticing he was thinking how beautiful she was and wondering how she would be like in bed.
He sat beside her on the couch. She accepted the glass of wine he handed her. The started the movie. As they watch the movie and drank some more wine, she notice how comfortably she was with him setting so close to her and her to him. She dares to move a bit close. As she readjusted to do so, he notices she was close. He smelt her hair. Peppermint, he thought to himself. Then he put his arm around her. Both now realizing that they were kind of snugging to one another as they finished the movie.
"So what did you think of the movie?" She questioned.
"It was good. In this damned world this is a rare treat. It has been awhile seen I have done this. It felt nice to just sit and relax like this." He said as she got up from the couch.
"Well that's nice. I am happy I could do this for you." She stated as she grabbed the glass up along with the unfinished wine.
Walking to the kitchen to put up the stuff she said to him, "well I think it is time for bed. If you will follow me."
He got up from the couch to follow her. Now walking up the stair he noticed again just how great she looked. He was aroused by this. Needing to get it out of his head he tried to think of other things. Like how disrespectfully it would be to her to try and lay her in her bed. Especially with how nice she has been to him tonight.
"So this is the bed. It isn't fancy but it is a bed at least." She said staring at it.
"Better than what I have been sleeping on. Just a cot at the prison. This looks like a special treatment. The guys at the prison would be jealous of me right now."
"Well I guess they are unlucky then." She laughed. Now lying down in the bed, she looked up at him and wondered why he was staring at her. "You can lay down now."
"Ummmm. Yeah." He shyly spoke. Taking his stare off of her walking to the other side. "Night."
"I like to talk before I go to sleep, if that is okay with you?"
"Well I don't care. I may not talk back thou. It has been a while seen I have done this pillow chat thing."
"That is fine. You can just listen or not."
Now both lying in the bed. She rolled over to face him. She looked at him, seeing him on his back getting confront from the bed. "Must have been a long time for you."
"Yeah, a long time. I all most forgot how nice a bed could feel."
"Well. How long have you been in the prison?"
"For a while now. Seems like forever and a day. Not really liking the whole idea of it. It was better than nothing though."
"I guess so. I don't think I would like it. I would fell locked up. My sister told me it was a horrible feeling to be behind those bars."
"Yeah I guess so. My brother didn't seem to be happy with the idea either. He said it made him feel caged up."
"So your brother was in jail to?"
"Yeah. Looks like we have that in common. Sibling in jail, that is."
"So how did you like supper?" She asked taking the subject of that.
"It was great. Been a long time since I have had something that good." He said as he turns his head to look at her, "Thank you for it."
"Any time. Do you like to hunt?"
"Yeah. What I was doing when we ran into one another." He laughed thinking of the wound on his arm.
"Sorry about the arm."She guilty admit to him.
She sat up in the bed to get a better look at it. Wasn't bleeding anymore, but it would leave a scar. She did feel bad about it now. She went to touch his arm to feel it. He moves, leaning to where she could. She liked how he did that. She rubbed her hand down he length of his arm and back up.
"So how long as it been of you?" She question staring at his bare chested.
"It has been a long time." He wasn't lying to her. It had been months before all this started. Putting his hand on her leg and rubbed up the to her waist.
Chill bumps rose. She got to thinking, too how it had been a long time. Now she was getting aroused by this man she just met. She thought this will probably be the lasted time she would see him and decide then why not do it.
As she moved her hand to rub his chest. He was thinking to himself he really only slept with women who were able to take him as their man and no one else. The last woman he had been with cheated on him with a bad man. He felt wronged, and now he was thinking of how he did somehow care for this woman in the bed with him. He would keep himself true to what he believes in. That a man and a woman who were willing to sleep with one another must have something that would lead them to it more than just a lustful attraction to one another. He looked up into her eyes and said," if we do this I will want to be with you. Can you handle that?"
Did he really just say that? She looked down into his eye to see if he was lying. She couldn't tell. She wanted to believe him on this, so she answered back, "I believe so." Then leaned down to kiss him.
He accepted it and kissed her back. Taking his hand up her shirt to find her beast. Then back down the side of her stomach. With the other hand he pulled her in closer. To let her know he wasn't lying to her. He wanted this and he could tell so she did to.
She leaned in as he pulled her close. Her hand finding his hair. She pulled at it. He moaned. She leaned back to get a look at him. Their eyes met for just a moment. Then he looked down her body. He leaned in to kiss her neck. As he did she moved into him.
He helped her take off her tank, and then pulled her close to him. Kissed her on the mouth, down the side of her neck to her breast. As she started doing so she groaned. Liking the sound she made, he found her nipple. Teasing it with his tongue, and then taking it into his mouth. Suckling on it for a bit. He moved over to the other. He nipped at it. She let out a sigh, while arching her back. His hand traveled the length of her body down to the shorts she was wearing. He plays at the top of them for a bit before entering his hand. Making his was he found her wetness. It was hot. She clear liked what he was doing. She submitted to him at this moment. He stroked her. The slowly entered one finger, noticing how tie she was. He could tell it had been a long time for her.
As she let herself submit to what he was doing. Her hand wonders down his body to his back. She dug her nails into him. Softly thou, as not to cause him pain. He enjoined it. She found her hand wondering again. Farther down his body, to the line of the sleeping pant. She didn't play there. She stuck her hand down them, and started to rub him. Grabbing it at the base and gently stroking it to the tip. As she did this, she could feel it get harder. She pulled away from him. Looking at him she said, "lose them."
He pulled his finger out, she moaned. He slides his pants off. "What do you plan on doing?" He asked.
"Don't worry, it will be something you will like."
She moved in pushing him down on to the bed. She kisses his neck, find her way down his body. She had taken him into her mouth. She could tell he liked it.
He moved his hand to find her hair. When he did, he grabbed it gently. He moaned in pleasure. It had been so long since he even thought of a woman this way, let alone trusted one. You kill the dead and don't trust the living, he thought to himself. Yet, every fiber of his being trusted her. The time was not questioned it. He wanted this; he wanted her to be the one to do it. He felt something for this woman, named Scarlet, and he like the thought of it.
It was his turn to repay the gesture. He pulled her up to his eye level. Sliding his down her flank to the shorts. He slide the off her. Rolling her over on to the bed. He moves over her, leaning down and nipped at her neck and beast. She arched her back, showing him she like it. Now kissing his way down her body as she had done him. He stopped right before her sex. Looked up at her and smile. Then going back to kissing her till he found her wetness.
She loved every second of this. She couldn't believe she was here. As he was having his way with her. It wasn't like making love, as it was just sex. More like something in between the two. She was pleased by this. It had been so long seen she had human contact of any kind. She shivered a bit. He had found her spot and decides not to move from it. She could feel the heat rising from there and spreading all over her body. Her toes curled. Right before she came, he pulled away.
Moving over her, he looked into her eyes. Taking him and rubbing till he found her sex. Rubbed it for a bit, the slowly enter her.
"Wait the top draw."
He pauses and leaned over to the night stand. Condoms? He could tell she hadn't sex in a while. Better safe than sorry, I guess. He got one out, opened it, and rolled onto his erection. The found her again and slowly enter her again. Pushing himself into her, he could feel her pulling him in as well. Meeting him for every push he gave. It sent chills down his spine. She moaned in enjoyment. She brought her right leg over his back, and pulled the left one up to his side. As she did he pulled the left leg up over his shoulder. God this felt so right and so great they both thought to themselves. She rubbed her hands up his arms onto his upper back and dug her nails into him. Arching his back when she did this. He looked down at her. She was breathing hard. He matches her breathing. When he did so, everything felt better somehow.
"Harder, "she moaned.
Hearing her, he pushed hard. Taking longer draws out of her, pushing himself him harder with each stroke.
She was enjoying everything he was doing to her body. The chills down her spine. The heat rising from her loins. She hadn't felt this good in a long time. She could feel he was about to release. So was she. She wondered if he could tell as well.
In that moment they both release themselves. Orgasming hard then they ever had before. She looked up at him and said, "Wait a bit before you pull out."
He lay down on top of her. Making sure to not put his full weight on her. He looked into her eyes. Seeing the smile on her face, he smiles. Wondering what she was thinking. It didn't matter in away. He finally found someone who didn't make him feel really alone. Yeah he had his friends, but this was different somehow. He did wonder what Carol would think of her. Carol being the only one he feels like is family to him.
She laid there breathing softly as she drifts off to sleep. She felt so alive at this moment in time. One hell of a way to ask a girl out. That is what it was right? She didn't care either way really. She felt as if things had finally been lifted of her shoulders. Even if she never seen him again. She had release a lot of stress. She wished this wouldn't be the last time thou.
