Was this really happening? Was this beautiful, breathtaking, extraordinary woman stood in front of him in the back alley of a nightclub ready and waiting for him?
Yep, she most definitely fucking was.
Daryl was in a daze and couldn't help the heavy breathing taking over his chest. He couldn't help but just blink - did he really want to do this? Any other relationship he'd encountered with a woman was drawn slowly and he at least waited a few weeks before taking the next step and sleeping with them. Carol was ready, so ready and the lustful look in her face was telling him that she wanted him between her legs and wanted it right this minute.
"Why have you brought me out here?" he asked rubbing the back of neck nervously.
"Well.. I would have thought that was pretty obvious." she smirked slowly starting to unbutton the top of her blouse. Daryl took the opportunity to step forward and clasp his hand around her wrist stopping her from going any further.
Carol looked up at him. "Is there something wrong?"
"Do you normally do this, Carol?" he asked.
She entirely ignored his question. "How do you know my name? I never told you my name?"
Daryl had forgotten about that. "Ricky told me." he said. "I asked him about you.. and he told me you knew each other from before." he paused. "And he told me about your marriage."
Carol scoffed. "Why the fuck would he tell you that? And why would you even ask?" she said worrying Daryl that he might have now pissed her off just a little.
"I only asked if he knew you, Carol.. and as for your marriage, you don't think its right to just go around and sleep with any guy just cos your dick of a husband broke your heart?" he said immediately regretting it.
"Ex husband." she replied. "And for your information, my marriage or my sex life is none of your business!" she huffed as she backed herself from the wall and began to furiously walk back into the bar but his hand pulling at her wrist stopped her.
"I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to offend you! I shouldn't have said that. Shit.. look- I am sorry. You're a beautiful young woman that's clear to see and you're clearly a very smart young woman too especially from all the books you seem to be reading. But you really shouldn't lower yourself to this just because your ex husband was an idiot." he explained soon realising he still hadn't let go of her hand. "He clearly didn't deserve you, Carol."
She smiled sweetly at him and blushed under his gaze.
"Come on, let's get you back inside before you freeze." he told her placing an arm around her shoulders and leading her back inside.
