Chapter 10

Never kiss and tell.

Carol woke in the morning, her body hadn't felt so relaxed in longer then she could remember; and for the first time since the world had gone to hell, she had slept through the night. She opened her eyes to find Daryl gone. Reaching for the paper that he'd laid on his pillow, she clutched the blanket to her still naked chest as she read.

Carol,

Don't worry I haven't gone hunting but I couldn't let the others pull double shifts cause I'm a little banged up, so I offered to take the morning shift in the tower and Hershel said it was alright. I would have woken you but you looked too peaceful and I couldn't bring myself to disturb you. I will see you at lunch.

Love you.

Daryl.

She couldn't wipe the smile from her face. She was blissfully happy and nothing would change that today. Folding the letter and tucking it under her pillow, she got up and moved to the shower before she headed off to help make lunch. Walking into the kitchen, she saw Lori, Andrea and Maggie were there all working.

"Morning ladies, sorry I slept in," she smiled moving around the kitchen. They all greeted her, but Lori turned smiling.

"You're glowing this morning, Carol." The other two ladies stopped what they were doing hearing the mischievous tone in Lori's voice.

"I guess that happens when you get a full night's sleep," Carol replied not turning to face them, instead focusing on her task at hand.

"Really?" Lori replied winking at the other women before she continued, "Cause I'm not sure if you have noticed but the office walls can be a little thin and from the sounds coming out of your room… well sleep was the last thing going on in there." Lori giggled. Carol turned surprised at Lori's words but still smiling even though she could feel her checks starting to burn.

"Lori!," she hissed trying to sound annoyed but her words coming out in a girlish giggle.

"Are you serious?" Andrea beamed stepping forward and grasping Carol's arms dramatically. "Please, please tell me you guys finally did it so we don't have to deal with your sexual tension anymore," she laughed and Carol pushed her away playfully.

"You girls are terrible," she laughed shaking her head as she turned back to finish her task.

"Come on Carol," Maggie piped up. Carol turned to face them once again. "What was it like? Was it amazing? I bet it was amazing. Daryl hides behind that tough guy exterior but I bet he is dynamite in bed." Carol giggled again at Maggie's words unable to stop herself from blushing.

"A lady never kisses and tells," Carol smiled at them when they all groaned.

"Maybe a lady never kissed and told before the world went to hell but now there is no TV and outside the occasional intense day-to-day drama there is no entertainment, so spill woman," Lori informed her. Carol sighed taking a deep breath.

"Well let's just say I am extremely satisfied." The group of women hollered and laughed, loving that they finally got her to confess. But they became extremely quiet as Daryl walked in with them all staring at him like he was some kind of alien. He couldn't help but smile as he knew what they had been talking about; he wasn't stupid.

"Ladies," he greeted. They nodded before turning back to their tasks, all except Carol who bit her lip nervously but still smiled at him.

"Michonne and T-Dog's morning catch," he informed her handing her four rabbits and about six squirrels. "They asked me to drop it in when T-Dog relieved me." She nodded taking them and dropping them on the bench behind her.

"Thanks," she whispered. He noticed the other ladies looking behind them every now and again and couldn't help himself. Moving forward, he placed one hand on her left cheek the other grasping her ass as he smashed his lips down onto hers, kissing her hard and passionately. He could hear the other women gasping in surprise behind him, but continued kissing her for a good minute before pulled away leaving her speechless.

"See you tonight," he winked at her before walking out of the kitchen. It only took about ten seconds before he heard all the women exploded into a fit of giggles and questions. Smiling he continued on his way to meet Rick.

That night Carol walked the wall with Michonne from four till midnight. Walking the wall with Michonne was always quiet, the woman liked to keep to herself. Lori and Maggie had brought them dinner at seven, smiling at Carol knowingly before heading off to eat themselves.

Once Maggie and Glenn had come to relieve them, she had headed straight for her room. Unlocking the door and slipping inside quietly she locked it behind her. Seeing Daryl's sleeping form, she headed straight for the shower, stripping down she slipped under the hot spray thankful it was hot. They had learnt a few weeks after moving in that the water system didn't run off the generators but in fact ran off an independent power source the prison had.

She moaned loving the feel of the hot spray hitting her skin. Tipping her head back and letting the spray wet her hair, running her fingers through it she couldn't believe how fast it was growing. It was still short, shorter then Maggie's but it had actual length to it and she couldn't wait till it got longer.

Ed had shaved her head one night when he was drunk, after beating her something horrible he had shaved her bald and told her she was to keep it that way or else. She laughed at the thought of it, how weak she had been, a part of her wished he could see her now, how strong she was and how happy – he would just hate it.

She was so caught up in her hot shower she hadn't heard the bathroom door open, so when the shower door slid open revealing a very naked Daryl, she almost jumped out of her skin. She couldn't help but jump slightly, hand over her heart.

"Daryl, you scared the hell out of me," she snapped. He smiled slipping in behind her.

"Sorry sweetheart but knowing you were in here, wet and naked," he whispered in her ear sending hot waves through her body that shot straight between her thighs. "I couldn't help myself." She moaned when he sucked her earlobe into his mouth, sucking and nibbling before letting it slip from his lips and spraying hot kisses down her neck.

She sighed contently as his hands moved, one grasping her breast as the other moved down to cup her mound.

"Daryl," she moaned as he flicked a finger across her clit causing her to moan louder.

"Ssshhh darling I hear these walls are paper thin," he whispered huskily in her ear unable to stop the smile that crept across his face as she began to stammer.

"Oh uh Daryl… it was just… um…," he couldn't help but laugh.

"Not upset Carol, I'm glad you have friends here, it's good and I'm very glad to hear you are extremely satisfied." She smiled, blushing as she turned her head to capture his lips before turning her head back as he kissed her neck and shoulders. Carol couldn't help the smile that crept up onto her face at the feel of Daryl's hardening member pushing against her backside as he moaned into her neck.

"Maybe we should get out of the shower," she suggested, feeling wetness already pooling between her thighs at the attention he was lavishing on her body.

"No I like it here," he groaned when he felt his cock slip between her wet folds, manoeuvring himself so he brushed across her clit as both of his hands grasped her hips and caused her to moan loudly. She couldn't stop herself from bending over slightly and opening her legs, granting him better access.

She gasped when she felt his cock slip inside her easily, stretching her so perfectly. He started to thrust into her slowly, enjoying the feel of being inside her again. He could have her every day for a lifetime and it would never be enough. He knew that one day he might lose her and it scared him to death. Pushing that thought aside, he tried to focus on being with her right now, this moment.

Carol could feel the familiar burn starting to build in the pit of her stomach but she needed more, grasping his left hand she boldly moved it back over her pussy. He smiled into her neck loving that she was comfortable enough to show him what she wanted, what she needed and he wouldn't deny her. Rubbing her clit roughly, he was rewarded.

"Oh god Daryl," she groaned loving the feeling of his hands on her. Feeling himself getting closer and closer to the edge at her boldness and at her words, her moans. She was making the sweetest noises and he loved how responsive she was to him.

"God Carol, so amazing, you feel so good," he groaned in her ear. Carol moaned, arching her back; his words brought her to the edge as she spiralled out of control.

"Daryl!," she wailed in release not caring if everyone heard their love making. Daryl pumped into her more forcefully. Feeling her pussy spasm and clench around him like a vice and coating his cock with her juices, he quickly fell over the edge, coating her womb with his seed.

"God Carol," he moaned, kissing her neck lovingly. "Love you so much."

"I love you too," she whimpered as he slipped from her heat. Turning and kissing him, she pulled back smiling.

"I missed you today," he whispered holding her close.

"I missed you too," she said happily, smiling into his chest

After showering, they moved to get dried and dressed, they had barely got their clothes on when someone was banging on their door frantically. Daryl moved to answer it wondering what the hell was going on. Flicking the lock, he jerked open the door to see Rick and T-Dog looking pale and worried.

"What's wrong?," he asked feeling Carol step up behind him.

"We got problems," Rick announced. "Walkers, a herd of them heading right for us." Daryl looked at Carol who was already moving grabbing his bow and hers. He wanted to tell her to stay in the room, to lock the door and stay there till he came for her but he knew she never would. Taking his bow and slinging it over his back, he wrapped a protective arm around her as they rushed out the door and down the hall following closely behind the two men.
