In the morning, when he woke, he was alone which wasn't unusual. He was often alone in the morning. Sometimes he would wake up to her getting out of the bed and sometimes he work when she was leaving the room. She liked to shower first thing in the morning, then she would make coffee and start breakfast for them while he showered. It always drove him crazy to know she had been naked in the same room he was getting naked in.
During breakfast they didn't talk, which was also not unusual. She looked like she was in her own world and a part of him wondered if she was checking out. She pushed around the eggs she had cooked for them while Daryl ate his. He looked up at her then back at his plate. He didn't like that she wasn't eating. He cleared his throat and stabbed at his eggs.
" You had a husband before all this shit?" Daryl pushed himself to say. Harmony frowned and looked across the table to him.
" What?" She asked. He looked down at his plate then at her again. He cleared his throat then dropped his eyes before saying,
" You had a husband?" He asked her again.
" Oh, no." Harmony said.
" Boyfriend?" He asked.
" No." She said, looking at her plate. Daryl frowned and looked at her.
" You ain't had a man at all?" Harmony shook her head as she looked back at him.
" No." That was just something he couldn't understand. He shook his head and readjusted himself in his chair.
" That don't make no sense." He muttered as he focused on his plate again.
" Why not?" Harmony asked. Daryl realized he had spoke that out loud and his face flushed. He exhaled hard.
" Ah..." He couldn't tell her it was because he thougth she was to pretty to be single. " um..." Harmony smiled. She thought it was cute to see him struggle.
" Did you have a wife?" She asked to save him. Daryl looked up at her and shook his head. " A girlfriend?"
" Ain't had a girlfriend since high school." He said. Harmony gathered up some eggs on her fork then brought it to her mouth. He was glad to see her starting to eat. " Kids?" Harmony shook her head as she chewed.
" You?" She asked after she swallowed.
" Nah. Ain't wanted kids." Daryl admitted.
" Aren't you going to ask me if I had a girlfriend?" Harmony asked. Daryl frowned hard. He hadn't thought about her having a girlfriend although...it might be a turn on to see her with another woman.
" Did you?" He asked.
" No." She said. When his shoulders sank she burst into laughter, making him sat up straight.
" What the hell you laughin at?"
" Admit that you were imaging me with a woman." She said. Daryl's face flushed again as he shook his head, making her grin. " Yes you were, you pervert!" She accused.
" Hell no. I ain't a pervert!" He defended quickly. Harmony continued to laugh.
" It's okay, Daryl. I'm just busting your balls." She said before she took another bite from her eggs. They quieted down as they both started to eat again. " I did have sex with a woman once." Daryl's fork dropped from his hand and clanked down onto his plate. Harmony glanced up at him to find Daryl staring hard at her. She smiled and looked fully at him. " Yep. I let a woman go down on me. I let her nestle right in between my legs." Daryl sat back, placed his hands on the table and started taking slow, hard breaths. Harmony bit down on the inside of her right cheek to keep from laughing. She could see he was imaging what she was saying. " I just laid down, right on a table just like this one, and spread my legs." She said slowly. Daryl's lips parted as he whined softly. She didn't even think he knew he had done it. He was completely wrapped up in what she was saying. " She ran her hands right up my thighs." His hands tighten on the table edge. " Then she just..." Harmony couldn't control herself. She erupted into laughter which made him frown and drop his hands down.
" You're fuckin with me." He accused.
" Yeah, I totally was. I have never slept with a woman." She said in between her laughing.
" That shit ain't right." Daryl snapped. He leaned forward, put his arms on the table and started gathering up his eggs to start eating.
" Men! You are all the same. Why the hell do you guys want to think about girl on girl stuff all the time?" She asked.
" Don't. I wasn't thinkin bout it." Daryl said quickly.
" You were too, you fucking liar!" Daryl looked up at her with a deep frown.
" I ain't lyin!" He defended. Harmony just laughed and looked back at her plate.
" Okay, Daryl." She said before she started gathering up her eggs again. Daryl watched her eat for a few seconds. Her face had color in it for the first time in a long time and she was smiling. He wanted to be mad at her for fucking with his head but it was hard when she looked so happy. He bit down on his bottom lip and shook his head. She ate everything on her plate that morning.
Daryl had decided to start chopping wood to build up their wood supply for the fireplace. He knew how much wood he should chop every day to get them through the winter. Harmony was walking through the house when she heard him groaning and the chop of the wood. She walked up to the screen door as he brought the ax down on a log. Her breath caught in her throat as she watched him. He was wearing a wife beater and it was stuck to him with sweat. His hair was wet with it.
" Holy shit." She whispered to herself. The muscles in his arms were tightening as he brought the ax back up. He grunted when he swung it back down again. " Oh my God." Heat rushed through her fast, pooling right between her legs. She whined as he worked. Every muscle in his arms, chest, and back were flexing and working. He must have sense she was watching him because after his ax hit the new log, he looked up towards her, making her jump. " Ah..." Her face flushed at being catch staring. " I was just coming to tell you I'm going upstairs to clean." Daryl wipe his new rag over his face then stuffed it back into his pocket.
" Alright." He said.
" Yeah, so...I'm just going to be up there." She said, backing away from the door slowly.
Daryl tilted his head and watched as she hurried up the stairs. He shook his head then grabbed another log to cut. He set it up and took another deep breath. It was hot, he was hot, but the wood wasn't going to chop it's self. The house ran on fuel to heat it so they wanted to only use the fireplace. He was alone, cutting the logs for a few minutes when he heard music coming from one of the open windows on the second floor of the house. He frowned and set the ax down. He took the rag back out and started towards the house.
He found Harmony standing in Beth's room in front of a CD that was sitting on the dresser. A slow song was playing from a group he actually knew. It was a country song called Just A Kiss. He wasn't a big fan of Lady Antebellum but he knew the song. Harmony's eyes were closed and her head was tilted as she listened. Daryl needed to tell her to turn it down but she looked so...happy and at peace that he couldn't bring himself to talk. She sighed and opened her eyes, jumping a mile when she realized he was standing there.
" I'm sorry." She said quickly as she turned it down.
" You like that?" Daryl asked.
" Not really. I just haven't head music in a long time. I turned it on and this was playing." Harmony said. She sighed and held her hand out to him. " Come here, dance with me." Daryl's eyes were wide as he shook his head.
" No, I can't dance. Ain't ever danced before." He said. Harmony smiled and started towards him. Panic started to course through him.
" It's not hard. I'll show you." Before he could dart away Harmony had a hold of his wrist and she was pulling him into the room. She took his right arm and slipped it around her waist. She moved into him with her left arm going around his shoulders. She took a hold of his free hand with hers and smiled up at him. " Relax, Daryl. I'm not going to hurt you." She said. " Let me guide you. We are going to step to your left then sway slowly to the right then the left again. You ready?" He was holding his breath, she could tell, but he nodded and they stepped out together.
Dancing was easier then he thought it would be. They swayed together as the song played. Her head was tilted up and she was smiling at him. Daryl was breathing hard while he stared down at her. She was warm and soft against his body. She wasn't talking and neither was he. His mouth felt dry and he was sweating again. Then she moved in closer to him so she was right against him and there was no hiding the fact that he wanted her. He knew it, she knew it, he knew she could feel him and his face exploded into a blush.
" I...ah...I better...go." He stuttered quickly. " I need to go." She tighten her hold on his hand while her other arm flew down to grab his right arm as he pulled away.
" Don't! Don't go!" She said quickly.
" I can't be here. I can't be here with you." He barely got out.
Harmony brought her hand to the back of his head. She pulled his head down and stepped up. She closed her eyes then kissed him. Daryl's eyes stayed open until she swept her tongue across his bottom lip then started to nibble it. He groaned and shut his eyes. He squeezed her hard and stood up straight, pulling her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. His hands came to her ass. He turned towards where he knew the bed was and started towards it. Self doubts be damned. He needed this woman undressed and under him and he needed it bad.
* What did you think about her teasing him during breakfast?*
