Chapter 17

"What're ye doing in here?"

I looked out the window.

"Thinking." I answered.

He said nothing and I looked at him. His beautiful blue eyes had a strange look. I raised an eyebrow.

"I heard ya. When ye thought I was sleeping." He murmured.

I sighed and rested my head on the pillow and looked at him.

"I may be brave, strong and deadly….but when it comes to my feelings…..I am a coward." I whispered.

He shook his head and put his callused hand on my face.

"Yer human. Ain't nothing wrong with that." He breathed.

I closed my eyes and covered his hand with mine. I stroked his hand gently and moved a little bit closer. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He had a small smile.

"Yer eyes…they're blue. Real deep dark blue. What's that mean?" He asked.

For once I knew not.

"I know not. They've never been that color. Only dark red, that green color, brown, hazel and golden." I said.

"What do ye feel?" He asked.

I closed my eyes and thought. Being there with him, having him touch me so gently. I felt safe, but most of all I felt trust. Something I never felt. Not like this. Yes I trusted Shane with that one secret, but this was different. I trusted Daryl with my life. With everything I had. I opened my eyes and smiled.

"I trust you. Like I once did. With my life and all." I breathed.

I saw him smile a true smile. I pulled me forward and I moved up to him. He wrapped his arm around me and I cuddled up to him. I could hear his steady heartbeat. I smiled and looked up at him.

"Daryl?" I asked.

He looked at me.

"…..Kiss me?"

He leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine. Something fluttered in me, made me want more. More of him. I ran my tongue on his lips and begged for him to let me in. He obliged and his tongue was on mine. I moved closer and he wrapped his arm around me tightly. I heard him moan from the back of his throat and it made me crazy. I ran my hands down his chest and then I felt the bandage. My eyes flew open and I slowly and reluctantly pulled away.

"Not now."

He growled and I laughed lightly and kissed his cheek.

"When I get outta this damn bed…I'ma love you hard woman." He said.

I smiled and looked into his eyes.

"We'll see."

He chuckled and kissed me one more time.
