Chapter 9

Losing myself in you.

He pulled her body flush against him, slipping his tongue past her lips and moaning at the feel of her tongue brushing across his skilfully. He felt himself going instantly hard, he needed her, needed this right now. Slipping his hands down her back and cupping her ass, he lifted her easily, feeling his shoulder ache slightly in protest but he chose to ignore it. She wrapped her legs around his waist willingly, feeling him take a few steps before he sat her on a desk top in the corner of their room.

This was really happening, Daryl had told her he loved her and meant it and now they were going to make love. She felt him unbutton her top exposing her braless chest to his gaze; he pulled back as he dropped her shirt to the floor. His eyes darkened as he gazed at her, Carol couldn't help but blush under his gaze.

"Beautiful," he whispered huskily as he swept forward taking one hardened nipple into his hot mouth, making sure it was properly seen too before doing the same to the other.

Carol moaned in delight, threading her hand through his hair, pulling him closer; no one had ever tended to her so well before. With Ed it had always been about his pleasure and never hers. When he pulled back she moved to lift his shirt up and over his head but as she did she heard him hiss in pain. Dropping the shirt to the ground, she looked at him.

"Are you okay?," she asked concerned.

"Fine," he muttered moving to kiss her again but she placed her hand flat against his chest forcing him to stop. "What's wrong? Are we moving too fast? Do you want to stop?," he asked, worried he was pushing her into something she wasn't ready for but silently praying she didn't ask him to stop.

"What? No It's just…," she sighed. "Your shoulder is hurt and you have an egg on the back of your head the size of a golf ball, Hershel said you should rest, relax," she explained.

"I can't think of a better way to relax," he smirked moving in to kiss her again and placing a soft kiss on her lips before pulling back for a moment. "I want you, I need you Carol," his voice almost begging her not to deny him.

She couldn't stop herself, hearing his need for her in his voice she knew she needed him just as much. She smashed her lips down onto his kissing him with heat, need and want. She moved to spray hot kisses down his neck and onto his now exposed chest, flicking her tongue across one of his nipples, she couldn't stop the smile that formed when she heard him groan in response.

Moving off the desk, she pushing him back slightly garnering a confused look from him, but all she could do was smile as she dropped to her knees. Her hands pulled down his boxers as he stepped out of them. Carol couldn't help the moan that escaped her at the sight of his now naked form; she had never seen anything so perfect in all her life.

She wasn't surprised to see that his chest was hard and held quite a lot of definition; his body lean and long and his cock was... "Oh my God!"Her mind gasped in shock. He was huge, hard and begging for attention.

He figured she would stand up once she had removed his pants but when he felt her wet lips taking in his hardened cock he felt his eyes roll back into his head in pleasure. She hadn't done this is years, Ed had never liked it saying she had done it wrong but when she saw his cock jump under her gaze she knew she had to taste him, and feeling bold she wrapped her lips around him.

"Oh God," he groaned out; her mouth was so hot, Daryl felt like he was on fire. He glanced down and almost came at the sight. She was sucking her cheeks in as she sucked him up and down, bringing her hand into play as she cupped his balls, massaging them softly and making him moan in approval.

Taking him deep into her throat and swallowing around his head was almost his undoing. Daryl let out a strangled moan at the feel of her taking him in so deep. He glanced down and knew he couldn't take any more, grasping her under the arms he pulled her up to her feet; she instantly looked at the floor.

"Is there something wrong? Did I not… not do it right?," she stammered scared to death of his answer. He couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you kidding me?" She looked up trying to decided how she should be feeling right now. Angry? Hurt? "It was the most amazing thing I have ever felt, I just… I just don't want it to finish like that and if you didn't stop, it would have." She smiled at his reply, feminine pride burning through her.

Moving to kiss her, he started walking her backwards until the back of her knees hit her bed; Daryl slowly lowered her until she was lying beneath him. He hovered over her, a lustful expression on his face as he began unbuttoning her pants. Carol felt him hook his fingers through her belt loops and found herself lifting her hips so he could remove them more easily.

Once Daryl had discarded her pants, he kissed his way up her body before stopping just under her belly button. He kissed her lower abdomen before slipping his fingers under the elastic of her red lace panties, if he was correct they were the same ones she had been wearing that first night they had been run off the farm. Carol's breath caught in her throat as Daryl, ever so slowly slipped her panties down her legs and over her knees, past her feet, carelessly tossing them to the floor. He took a moment to sit back and gaze at the lustrous woman that lay before him.

She was a vision. Her now slightly curly brown hair curled under her ears. Her face was flushed and lips where red and swollen from their kisses. Daryl allowed his eyes to travel down her naked body for a moment, enjoying seeing her in her fully naked form for the first time.

Her nipples were pink and hard, her stomach surprisingly taut. He had figured since she'd had a child there would be some stretch marks but he couldn't see a single one. Eyes moving to her dark curls, he could see she was glistening with need. Kneeling before her, he moved to open her up to him but found himself surprised when she held her legs tightly closed.

"What's the matter?," he asked not moving from his position between her legs but looking up at her.

"It's just… I don't like that," she whispered feeling embarrassed.

"Seriously?" he almost snorted out. He had never met a woman who didn't love having a man going down on her. She just looked down feeling her checks burn. "You ever had someone do this?" he asked wanting to be sure she wasn't just being shy.

"Ed did it once and it was terrible," she replied shaking her head and covering her face with her hands. She felt his fingers dig into her thighs at the name of her ex-husband, heard him growl slightly. Daryl took a deep breath before continuing.

"That's because a piece of shit like Ed couldn't find his way to a clitoris even with a god damn map." Carol couldn't stop herself from bursting out laughing. She never in her life would have imagined Daryl saying anything like that to her. He smiled, happy that he could make her laugh, relax. "I'll stop if you don't like it, I promise." She looked down laughter stilling in her throat, unsure, but she still nodded giving him silent permission.

Daryl felt Carol relax beneath him and started to slowly part her legs, he felt himself getting harder at the sight of her glistening heat, parting her moist folds with his fingers, Daryl teased her clit, flicking a finger across it and then moving it to swirl around her opening.

Carol moaned in pleasure, arching her hips off of the bed, bringing herself closer to his face, begging to be touched more. Daryl took the opportunity to flick his tongue across her clit.

"Oh god," Carol moaned loudly at the feel of his skilled tongue on her hot pussy, her eyes rolling into the back of her head. Daryl couldn't help but smirk at her response and continued sucking and nipping at her tender flesh.

Carol tossed her head back and forth in pleasure; it had never been this good; she didn't even know it could be this good. Daryl lapped at her flesh like a man starved and she couldn't help but look down at him, his eyes were gazing at her hungrily as he sucked onto her clit, she had never seen anything so hot. Carol could feel herself nearing her orgasm and fell over the edge when he thrust two long fingers into her hot centre.

"Oh god, Daryl!" Carol moaned in release, clamping down around his fingers.

Feeling Carol's legs start to relax, Daryl smirked and crawled his way up her body. He couldn't take it anymore; he needed to be inside her. Carol could feel the tip of his cock nudging against her wet entrance, begging to be let in. She met Daryl's eyes and raised her hips in a silent welcome and gasped when he crushed his lips to hers before sliding into her heat.

They groaned at the feel of each other, he was so big and Carol could feel him stretching and filling every inch of her. She was so full. Having Daryl inside her felt like coming home. She was complete and whole when he was with her.

Daryl felt like he was on fire. Carol was so wet for him, so tight. His thrusts were slow at first, allowing Carol to meet him thrust for thrust as they moaned in pleasure.

"Oh god, so good, never knew it could be so good," she groaned and he couldn't help but feel proud at her admission. He slid his arm down her body and cupped her bottom.

"God Carol," he moaned, sliding his hand to her thigh and lifting her leg out to the side. She felt him slide in deeper and couldn't stop herself as she arched her back, and let out a moan. He was moving in and out of her at an agonizingly slow pace, she needed more, had to have more.

"Please Daryl…" her voice and eyes begging him. Daryl obliged, thrusting into her harder and faster.

She was so close; she knew she wouldn't last much longer, he felt too good. Each time he moved her leg into a new position, he seemed to slide in even deeper. Daryl stretched her like no one ever had, filling every part of her. She could feel every ripple and vein on his cock as he slipped in and out of her.

"Carol love you, love you so much," he whispered into her ear. "You're mine now, only mine." His voice was hot against her skin; the feel of him pounding into her heat, slipping in and out of her sent her walls fluttering.

"Yes Daryl I'm yours, I only want to be yours." Feeling her beneath him, Daryl quickened his pace, growling when her hands cupped his bottom and pulled him in harder and faster. She was spiralling completely out of control.

Carol felt herself let go, her walls squeezing his cock like a vice grip as she wailed in release. Daryl was panting, letting out a groan when she scraped her nails down his back, his hips thrusting hard and fast against hers.

"I love you Daryl," she moaned coming down from her orgasmic high, her words sending him over the edge groaning as he spilled his seed into her welcoming body.

"Carol," Daryl moaned, leaving hot, open-mouthed kisses along her neck and collar bone as he came down from his high. He didn't move at first, taking a moment to catch his breath before he moved and slipped from her warmth.

He rolled them onto their sides and pulled the blanket up to cover them, sliding an arm around her small waist and pulling her close. Daryl took a deep breath, inhaling her scent, enjoying the feel of having her in his arms. He knew he couldn't lose her and he knew he would fight tooth and nail to be sure he never did. Looking down at her, he smiled realising she had drifted off to sleep. Kissing the back of her neck he held her close and he let sleep take him over, sleeping better than he had since the world had gone to shit.

Safe with her in his arms.
