* Please Review! Sorry it took me so long. I am developing carpel tunnel and I was trying to give my wrists a break. Lol! It hurts so bad! Plus, I found out my beloved aunt has cancer in her liver, lungs, and pancreas, my husband and I have been fighting and I had to rush my cat to the ER. It has been one hell of a week for me.*

Daryl was walking with Merle across the field and towards the camp. Merle was all smiles while they walked but Daryl was frowning. Merle was talking but Daryl couldn't pay attention to anything his brother was saying. He was pissed. He was pissed at Merle, pissed at Harmony, and pissed at himself. He knew he shouldn't have acted the way he did with her. He knew he shouldn't have yelled at her. He wanted to turn back and go to her but he kept walking forward. If he turned around he'd look like a pussy in front of Merle and Eric. That was not something he could afford to look like in front of the strangers.

" Good morning." Sean said when they were within hearing distance.

" Mornin." Daryl muttered.

" My brother, here, is gonna show us around the farm." Merle said, clapping his hand on Daryl's shoulder.

" Anyone seen Hollywood?" Vincent called out as he walked out his tent. Daryl stood up straight and look back to the house. Of course the man he had left her with would be the one they called Hollywood. His body tensed up and his eyes narrowed as he faced the new group again.

" He went up to the house." James said. Vincent started to smile as he looked at Daryl.

" And you left your wife up there? Alone with Hollywood?" He chuckled. " You must have a lot of confidence in your relationship. I knew Hollywood before the outbreak and trust me, that guy can charm the pants off any woman." Daryl swallowed hard and crossed his arms over his chest.

When Daryl was done showing the new group around, they headed back towards the house. He was barely listening as the men commented about the farm and the grounds. He just wanted to get back into the house and check on his woman and the man they kept calling Hollywood. His stomach was a mess with nerves. And it didn't get better when they walked into the house. Harmony's laugh reached him a second before Eric started laughing. They were walking out of the kitchen together. Harmony was holding a bowl of scrambled eggs and Eric had a plate of sausages. Harmony looked up and caught Daryl's eyes right away. Her laughter died down.

" Looks like we arrived just in time to eat." Sean said with a smile. Daryl was frowning as staring her down while she set down her bowl.

" Yeah." Harmony said. " Eric was just going to come and get you guys." Daryl's eyes squinted at the casual way she said the man's name.

Daryl was surprised when Harmony sank down into the chair beside him. A part of him thought she would sit by Eric. She reached under the table and placed her hand on his leg, making Daryl jump while they ate. He wanted to touch her too but he kept his arms on the table. She would let him go to eat then touch him again as she chewed. At the end of the meal, everyone thanked Eric and Harmony. She stood up and started to gather the plates up but Vincent and Sean took over, stating they would clean up since she had cooked.

The group decided to spilt up then. Some were going to check the woods around the farm for walkers and others were going to check the road. That left Daryl and Harmony alone. He was standing on the porch with his hands on his hips when she came back outside. She walked up to him and gently placed her fingertips against his back.

" Would you like to go for a walk with me?" She asked.

" Got dead men walkin around wantin to bite you and you want to take a walk?" He asked as he frowned at her. Harmony sighed and pulled away from him.

" Never mind, Daryl." She said as she turned to walk back into the house. He sighed too as he stared out over the field. He shook his head and turned back around. He grabbed the screen door and started in.

" Harmony." He said. She stopped walking by the table but didn't turn around to face him. " I'm...I'm sorry." He muttered. She turned around and tilted her head as she looked at him. He was messing around with his finger nails and staring down at them. " I found sumthin a while ago when I was out. Sumthin I'd like to show you, if you want to come with me." When she didn't say anything, he looked up at her and found her smiling.

" I'd like that." She said softly. Daryl nodded and dropped his eyes again. She bit into her lower lip. Sometimes he looked so shy and uncomfortable with himself that he reminded her of a child. She sighed and started towards him. " Come on, show me." She said as she slipped her hand into his. Daryl squeezed her as he nodded again.

" Come on then, woman." He said.

Harmony's hand was locked up tight into Daryl's as they walked along through the fields. He had caught Eric looking at them and some snugness had come over Daryl when Eric's eyes had went to their combined hands. If that Hollywood jackass thought he was getting close to Daryl's woman, he had another thing coming to him. Daryl kept what belonged to him close to him, and now that included her. He would be keeping an eye on that man.

" What do you want to show me?" Harmony asked.

" It's just up here a bit." Daryl said as he gently pulled her along.

He was taking her to the stream he had taken Carol to when he showed her the flower he had picked for her. The stream was calm and quiet. Before the group had been split up, before everything had fallen apart, Daryl had spend a lot of time on the bank there. He liked to sit there and enjoy the peace and quiet. Daryl hadn't had a lot of peace and quiet in his life so he valued it when he found it.

" Found this." He said when they reached his favorite place.

" When?" Harmony asked.

" When I was lookin for Sophia." He said. They came up to the bank and stopped walking. To her surprise Daryl pulled her to him. " I'm sorry, for yellin and shit. Ain't right for me to have been mad at you. Ain't your fault." Harmony nodded and placed her hands oh his. She brought them to her waist then placed her hands on his forearms.

" We have to remember that we are on the same side." She said. " We have each other's back no matter what. You know how Merle is. He doesn't like people to be happy because he's not so he will try and make us as upset as he is. He also wants you for himself. He wants you to follow him around and do what he says, like you used too. But you aren't that man anymore. You are your own man, a very strong and smart man, so remember that." Harmony said. Daryl nodded why he looked down at her. Harmony's hands went to his face. He pressed herself against him a second before she pressed her lips gently to his. His hands squeezed her hips.

" Why are you sayin that shit to me?" He whispered against her mouth.

" Because it's true and you should know that by now." She tilted her head to the side and licked across his bottom lip, pulling a moan from him. She moved her head to the other side. " You are amazing." She licked across his top lip, making him squeeze her harder. " You are so strong." She nipped against his bottom lip. He pushed his hips into her. " Everything about you is incredibly sexy. Your arms, your chest, your ass, you." Daryl picked her up and crushed his mouth to hers. Her arms were around his neck and her legs were around his waist. He was hot, hard, and pressing against her core. His breath was fanning against her breath in a rush. His hairline was wet with sweat.

" Wantin inside you right now." He growled. Harmony shivered against him.

" I'm wanting you inside me too." She whispered.

" Darylina!" They heard Merle yell out. " Where the fuck are you, boy?" Daryl's shoulders dropped.

" Don't. Don't let him beat you down." Harmony whispered as she slid down to the ground. She cupped him through his pants, making him stared down at her hard. " Tonight, this is mine. Remember that." She squeezed him then let him go and stepped away. " Come on."

Daryl turned and followed after her with his face flushed, his cock hard and throbbing, and his eyes glued to her ass. All he wanted to do was knock her down and take her from behind. He wanted to bring her up on her knees, grip her hips and thrust himself inside her right there, right on the bank of the stream. He wanted to see her hands crawling at the grass while he pounded into her.

He promised himself that after they went to bed that night, he would make her squirm under his mouth before he buried himself inside her. He never thought he'd liked going down on a girl before her. He really hadn't done it before. But her reaction to him when he first touched his tongue to her center had floored him. The way she tasted had filled him. He had opened his eyes, threw the covers off him, and watched her as he worked her over the first time. Daryl thought it had been the sexiest thing he had ever seen. That is, until she tilted her head back and came part against his tongue. He had watched her while she pulled at the sheet and cried out. He kept his tongue on her and continued to move against her until he knew the orgasm had died down.

Daryl reached down and readjusted his erection. Damn Merle and his group. If they weren't there he could have her right then. He reached out and grab Harmony's arm. She laughed when he forced her to turn and face him. His other hand went into her hair a second before he kissed her hard. Merle was getting closer but he didn't care. His tongue took control of hers while it moved through her mouth. His arm locked around her waist as he yanked her completely him. He knew she felt how much he wanted her.

" Oh for the love for shit!" Merle explained. Harmony moved to pull away from Daryl but he held her tightly while he continued to claim her mouth. " Let the woman come up for air, Darylina." Merle complained. Harmony ripped away from Daryl and whipped around, making both Daryl and Merle jump.

" Shut the fuck up." She said in a quiet, calm voice. " You will stop calling him that, do you understand me? His name is Daryl and that is how you will address him. He is smarter then you, more faithful then you are, and an all over better man then you." Daryl tensed up as Merle's face started to turn beat red. Daryl had never seen Merle hit a woman before but he won't put it past him.

" What the hell, Sweetheart? I thought we were friends." Merle actually whined. Harmony's eyes narrowed hard.

" We didn't have to take you and your group in but we did. You are going to drain our food supplies fast but we are helping you so you WILL show us some respect." She said, still keeping her voice level and even. Merle's eyes flicked past her to Daryl then back to her again.

" Daryl, you gonna let your woman talk to me like that?" Merle asked.

" You have a question about me then you address me." Harmony said. Daryl's fingertips brushed against her lower back a second before his hands took a hold of her hips.

" You maybe his common law wife but you ain't shit to me." Merle almost hissed out to her.

" And you aren't shit to me. You don't like what I'm saying then get the fuck out." Harmony said. Merle's mouth was hard and tight as he stared down at her with fire in his eyes. He was pissed. His only hand was opening and closing against his side. The next few moments were tense until Merle drew in a sharp breath.

" Well alright then, Darlin." He said, surprising them both. " You ain't got to swear at me." Daryl's hands relaxed against her but that was the only thing that was relaxed. His heartbeat was slamming in his dick. There was no way he could wait until night fall. He was going to drag her back to the house, lock her in the bathroom and take her against the door. It was going to be hot, fast, and animalistic. He needed it to be that way but he'd make it up to her after dinner.
