Carol,woke up to the sound of Sophia, moving around in her cot, glancing around, she had no idea how she had got upstairs. The room was still in darkness, yet the flickers of daylight were creeping through the blinds. Gently walking towards her daughter, she didn't miss how well covered her little girl was. Her teddy clutched tight in her hand, the smile on her face unmistakable, she was a happy, contented little girl,more so now, they were away from the tense atmosphere of being around Ed, could cause.

Taking the little one in her arms, she held her tight to her, loving the smell and warmth of her, checking her, surprised to feel she had already been changed. Who had done it? How long had she been out?. She felt a small amount of fear, having been used to Daryl soothing her, now nothing. Letting Sophia feed from a bottle which was warm on the side, she tried her best to relax, she felt grouchy and tired her body was turning on her, aching for that release, she knew only he could give her.

Last night she had responded to him, yet it had felt so good, had he said five hours straight?, wow and she bet he could do it as well. No shaking her head she couldn't, wouldn't go down that road, in a day or so Ed would locate them, then this small bid for freedom would be over, and back to the grindstone of the sham she called a marriage. How she wished she could live her life in peace, forget about the damn destiny, fate or whatever the hell he had called it. Away too from the abusive man she had married. Is this what her life had come to?, torn between two men, one an abusive bastard, the other, well she had no idea who the other was, yet her body craved his touch, his warmth. Pushing it to the back of her mind, she focused on Sophia, it would soon be time to try her again her on solids, the last time she wasn't too interested, in fact, today was a good a day as any, she wasn't a hungry baby, but it wouldn't do her any harm to try a rusk, some fruit.


Daryl woke up hard as a rock, his dreams filled with her again!, surely being a damn Master, he should not be having bloody dreams, but no good old fate liked him to suffer. So he would fix the problem himself, his hand would be ok, or he could wait for her to accept him. Nah by the time, Carol accepted him, hell would have frozen over, and he would be following her around like a damn puppy dog, begging for attention. Oh well hand it was, at times like this, he wished he could just grab the nearest available whore and fuck her to sate his needs.


Deciding it was too nice to stay in,that the fresh air would do both her and Sophia some good, Carol fancied a walk. Stepping out into the sun she felt happy walking along the small country lane, that she knew led towards the outskirts of town,. The day was warming up, and Sophia was happily taking in all the sights and sounds, whilst Carol pointed out objects of interest, Since leaving the cottage, she felt a sense of peace and security wash over her, as if she had not a care in the world. Even her outfit was so unlike her, from her small trainers, and shorts, to the tight fitting t-shirt, she felt free and at one with herself, loving the feeling of it all. She had given herself a good talking to earlier, she was going to take charge of her life, and enjoy it, sod them all. Locating the small supermarket, she headed in, basket in hand, she was glad of the money she had saved. It had enabled her to buy what she wanted, just for today, tomorrow she would worry about when it came.

Daryl was pissed why the hell did Merle drag him to the hell hole they were sitting in?, loud fucking music, women that wanted to climb on your lap and practically fuck you were you sat. It was midday and already the bar was booming, Daryl wondered why he couldn't get someone like that, someone easy, but no he had the coldest bitch from hell, who seemed to hate all men, or was it just him?.He looked up catching her exiting the shop from across the way, he saw the smile she gave to the man holding the door, the way the guy looked her over had his blood boiling.. Oh she was in deep shit now, dressing like that had him pissed, was she trying to attract every guy in the damn town?. God if Ed saw her, he would beat the shit out of her. Daryl was beyond pissed at the way she reacted to the man who was tripping over himself to help her and their daughter. Oh no his hand did not just touch her backside, how could she allow a cretin like him to touch her?.

Merle hadn't missed his brother's reaction, to his soul mate and the young man that was helping her, and that's all it seemed to him, a man helping a mum with her pram, so why did it have his brother so pissed?.

" leave it bro" He nudged Daryl as he spoke, trying to calm his temper that seemed to be rising.

"No fucking way she is mine, she belongs to me and what the hell is a damn mortal doing daring to touch my fucking angel"

"Daryl be gentle with her" Merle mumbled as his brother made a move to leave.

"Of course brother, I will sweetness and light, after I have tanned her backside" Merle sat back, letting his brother walk out of the bar. Unnoticed by Carol as she was too involved talking to the man. Luckily her back was to the bar, so it was easy for Daryl to glide into the conversation, without there being a death in the town, that of the young man's. Strong arms wrapped around her waist, lips caressing her neck.

"Thank you sir, for helping my wife, she does struggle at times with the little one." damn she knew that voice, those hands, how she ached to turn around and knee him hard. Yet he wouldn't let her move, his fingers sliding up her stomach moving her closer to him, taking complete control of the situation and her.

"That's ok, guess I will see you around Carol, good bye little Sophia" with that he continued on his way, not looking back. How she wanted to kill Daryl at that moment in time, why had he done that, and where the hell had he been, to see her?. He moved them further away from the shop, into a small alleyway hidden from view, as Sophia dozed in her pram.

"Hell woman, ya look fantastic, not sure if I like everyone seeing what is mine, damn come here" Seeing the hesitation in her, he pulled her closer into his chest. Loving how her body trembled in his embrace.

"Don't fight me darlin, just enjoy" his lips moved down her neck as her head fell back onto his chest, loving the sensation of him wrapped around her, his lips were setting fire to her skin, his teeth nipped here and there, then he located her pulse point and bit, her body convulsed back into his, causing him to gasp in surprise as her ass hit his throbbing erection.

"Daryl" she whispered on a throaty moan, she couldn't pull away if she tried, his hands were now moving up and down her thighs, as he thrust his body at her. His fingers started to move under the hem of her shorts, stroking up, she stopped him. Not wanting to do this in public, Daryl got the message and moved them further into the darkened alleyway, pushing her into the wall he took her lips with his, as her hands moved around his neck. He moved his hands under her ass and lifted her, so she could warp her legs around his waist, causing her top to ride right up her stomach. His lips took her mouth hard, his tongue sneaking in and playing with hers. She could feel the denim material of his jeans, along the inside of her thighs, letting him take full advantage of the situation, he may not be able to take her completely due to the idiotic love deal that had been imposed, didn't mean he couldn't take her to heights, where she would be begging him to take her, then he would have her, where he wanted, begging for him to make love to her. If he did this right he would have her underneath him moaning his name, within the month, ok it sounded long to some people, knowing, if he pushed her to soon, she would run. This had to be taken slow and easy, even though his body demanded now. Freeing one of his hands, his body pushing her further into the wall, he skimmed her expose skin, along her stomach, her breath stolen for the moment, as she enjoyed his touch.. She couldn't miss how much he wanted her, as he pushed his hips harder in between her thighs. Continuing to attack her lips, tasting her, enjoying that she was giving to him as much as he was to her, for the first time since they had found each other, they were on the same page.

"Darlin ya taste as sexy as ya damn well look" he mumbled against her neck as one of his fingers moved up and down the inside of her thigh closer and closer to her wetness, and god did she know she was wet, he was the one who got her that way. Pulling his head back hard, she bit his throat causing him to thrust against her with pleasure

"Guess you may know what hell could be like Daryl" she mumbled, as she bit him again, enjoying the reaction she was getting from him, for now her barriers were down, and he was going to enjoy every moment, taking full advantage of the situation, and it felt so good. He was learning her soft spots, the ones that sent her body screaming, it wouldn't be long before sanity kicked in, and she kicked him to the side, for now though she was his.

Carol had never felt this with Ed, the overwhelming need to have this man take her where she stood, or rather half stood against the wall. He was consuming her, overwhelming her with his passion and she loved it. Yet the sounds from the street were seeping into her ears, this was not the place or time to be doing this, she should be pushing him away, surely one more kiss one more touch, before reality set in. The sound of feet inching closer, put a stop to her thoughts, disappointment running through them both, they reluctantly pulled away. Daryl placed his forehead against hers, letting her catch her breath, whilst he nodded at the couple walking past. His hand now on Sophia's pram, he checked she was still asleep

"Next time we do this, I will ensure we cannot be disturbed" all she could do was nod, as she fought to get her bearings, again wondering what the hell this man had over her.
