Chapter Eight (Beth POV)

It was late into the night, probably around two or three in the morning when I decided sleep was not going to happen. It has been a couple days since we have settled into the house, and I haven't talked to Rick since, which drove me crazy. He always seemed to avoid me at all costs, and it confused me to no end. Rick led me to believe that he was done trying to fight what was between us, so the reason why he is suddenly so distant was beyond me.

It was time to find out why.

I ripped the covers off me and checked on Judy before I made my way out of my room quietly. Rick shared a room with Carl, but Carl was on watch tonight with Daryl so I know that Rick will be alone tonight. It was the perfect time.

I silently crept to Rick's door and opened it slowly, just enough to where I could sneak in. I shut the door quietly and, my eyes moved to Rick's sleeping form. He looked so peaceful when he slept; much different from the worry lines on his face when he was awake. Don't get me wrong, he's handsome no matter what, but he's definitely something else when he's sleeping.

I slowly walked up to Rick's bed and squatted down to where I was level with his face. My hand shook with nervousness as I reached out and gave his shoulder a gentle push to wake him up, suddenly second guessing myself on doing this.

Rick's body shot up causing me to shriek and fall back onto my ass. "What? What's wrong? What happened?"

I recovered myself and got up off the floor. "It's just me," I whispered. "Sorry to wake you, but I really need to talk to you."

His eyes snapped over to my form. "Jesus, Beth. What the hell were you thinking?"

Suddenly feeling ashamed, I blushed and averted my eyes to the floor. "I'm sorry, but like I said, I really need to talk to you."

Rick sighed and rubbed his tired face with his hands. "Can't this wait till morning?"

"No," I said firmly, looking him in the eye. "I think you have been avoiding me long enough."

"Avoiding you? What in the hell are you-"

"I'm not stupid, Rick!" I hissed. "You won't even look at me anymore! I thought we were…" The words faded off.

"You thought we were what, Beth?"

"I don't…you kissed me and asked me if that was what I wanted, and I said yes." I sat on the bed next to him. "I still do."

He looked at me intently for a moment. "I just don't know, Beth-"

"Just shut up, okay? You do know. You want it just as much as I do. Stop trying to deny it!" He was starting to piss me off with his stubbornness.

"This is…this is really what you want, huh?" Rick's voice was suddenly deeper than before.

I shivered. "Y-yes."

He leaned forward and paused when his lips were just centimeters from mine. "You have no idea what you just got yourself into."

Then he was on me.

I fell backwards onto the bed with him on top. Rick kissed me with reckless abandon, making me realize that I just released an animal that clearly could not be tamed. And you know what?

I was okay with that.

(Rick POV)

I'm not exactly sure why I was drawn to Beth. Maybe it was her kind heart, or her delicate, beautiful features. Or maybe it's the fact that I know she's innocent…and maybe there's a part of me that wants to be the one to change that. I'm not sure if makes me a pervert, but there was one thing I was sure about.

I don't care.

Beth wriggled beneath me and moaned as I kissed my way down her neck. Too long has it been since I have taken comfort in a woman, and I was on the brink of losing all of my control.

"Beth," I growled. "I can't…I won't be able to be gentle."

She stared at me for a long moment with those big blue eyes of hers. "That's okay," she whispered. "I'm tired of everyone treatin' me like I'm some china doll. Do what you want with me, Rick. I'm not gonna break."

Do what you want with me, Rick.

I attacked her in passionate kisses once more without any hesitation. Beth moaned into my mouth and wrapped her legs around my waist while tugging up at the hem of my shirt. I sat up and helped her take it off of me. I reached down and ripped her tank top off without even thinking. My breath hitched in my throat when I realized she wasn't wearing a bra. What a minx.

"Rick!" she cried out in surprise. "Now what am I – oh!"

She didn't get to finish her sentence before I attacked her breasts with my mouth. Her skin tasted so sweet…so Beth. It made my senses go into overdrive.

Beth fell back onto the bed gasping. "Oh…oh Rick…"

Her hands gripped my shoulders and she arched up into my mouth. I fumbled with her pants, having the sudden desperate urge to taste her. My mouth latched onto her center and the shy Beth was gone, and soon she was making noises that would put a porn start to shame. My pride swelled as I tasted every bit of her, instantly becoming addicted to her. Every part of her.

"Fuck…daddy…"

I stilled and looked up at her. "What the fuck did you just say?"

Beth's eyes went wide and her mouth opened and closed, obviously struggling to find words. "I'm…I'm sorry…I don't know what-"

I made my way back up her body and gripped her throat with my hand giving a light squeeze. "Say it again."

"W-what?"

"Say. It. Again."

She blinked and her cheeks turned a deep shade of red. "D-daddy."

What little control I had left was gone now.

I got my pants off as quickly as I could and positioned myself at her entrance. "Beth…are you sure about this? Once I start…I won't be able to stop." Hell, I wasn't all too sure if I was going to be able to stop now, but I didn't want her to feel like she had no option.

"I want this…daddy."

I growled and roughly entered her, causing her to cry out in pain. As soon as I felt her warmth envelope me I couldn't stop, and I started fucking her with reckless abandon. Beth just lay there and took it, whimpering every once in a while in obvious distress. If it were any other time, I would've been able to pull myself together and let this happen as it should, but I just couldn't. I can't bring myself to stop or even slow down. She was just so wet…so tight…

Soon enough, Beth began to moan in pleasure along with me. Occasionally whispering things like, "Oh yes, Rick…oh yes. Right there…right fucking there."

I buried my face in her neck and groaned. "Jesus Christ Beth…Jesus fucking Christ you're perfect." Her hips rose up to meet my thrusts and I could tell she was close. "Tell me what you want," I growled.

"I…I want…I need…" Her eyes were shut tight and her voice came out in breathless gasps.

"You wanna cum?"

Beth arched up and moaned loudly. "Yes!"

I panicked and covered her mouth quickly with my hand. "Fuck, you're gonna get us caught."

Beth moaned under my hand and her nails racked down my back. Her tight walls suddenly fluttered around me and her eyes rolled into the back of her head. She arched up as she fell apart beneath me, causing me to fall into my own oblivion. I leaned down and bit her shoulder as I was thrown into my own world of ecstasy knowing that there was no going back now.

She is mine.

AUTHORS NOTE: So there you go. The slow burn is now…well…it's kind of not a slow burn anymore. I know it's probably not as long and detailed as you guys might have wanted, but they were limited to doing so much considering that they had to be quiet and…yeah. It will get better, I promise. Let me know what you think! I always get so nervous writing this stuff…and let me know about the whole 'daddy' thing. I decided to take a different approach to Rick and Beth…was it too bold? Let me know and I'll never do it again. Thanks, guys!
