Going deeper into one of the pairings of chapter 1, this one being part 1 of Maggie/Elijah!

Maggie had never expected to love again in a sensual way. She just hadn't. After losing Glenn at age 24 and being pregnant with their only child, she had focused only on how improve the world for her son, and to an extant the people around them.

Elijah had always had eyes for her. How could he not? She was gorgeous. He had developed a crush on her the moment he first saw her when he was still a teenager. His late sister Josephine would always make fun of him for that. But for a long time, there was no chance, she was older than him and saw him as just a kid, and she was still mourning her late husband, Glenn.

They had gone through so much together. Meridian, the reapers, the loss of their home, his sister and most of their friends… Josephine, Cole, Frost, Teresa, Agatha, Duncan, Maya, Ainsley, Gus, Billy and Jen. He, Maggie and little Hershey were among the few survivors of that. After this they also battled the Commonwealth, and she also made some sort of peace with Negan.

And then he had found Lydia. Lydia, who was kind and wonderful and beautiful, and he thought she would be the one for him. But in the end, things did not work. She still had issues over a past love named Henry, but they still departed on good terms and promised to remain friends.

After everything with the Commonwealth, Elijah returned to the Hilltop, living again with Maggie and Hershel. The woman he had grown to like and even love so much.

The first sparks flew after a few weeks. Elijah had been on a run with Kal and Douglas, during which they were ambushed. Kal died to walkers during that run, while Elijah and Douglas managed to just and just survive and retread home. Maggie was broken over the death of Kal, a loyal and old friend, but she was glad that Elijah, someone she had shared so much with, was still alive, and hugged him strongly.

Elijah felt weird how the woman he grown to adore came so close, and he hoped to not get an erection that moment. Luckily, he didn't that very second, but just about minute later, when they had departed, which he quickly took care of in a toilet of Barrington House.

Other people were also finding new love during this time as well. Michael Mercer of the Commonwealth had ended up Juanita "Princess" Sanchez, while Daryl and Carol had finally confessed their after a decade of being as close as anyone could be.

A few nights later, while walking down the corridors, he came saw Maggie in her room, looking out of the window and enjoying the setting sun. Nowadays she had a room completely to herself, as Hershel shared one with Adam Sutton, the adopted son of the late Alden, who had inherited him from the late Earl and Tammy Rose Sutton, who in turn had inherited him from some whisperer who had abandoned him. It had been hard for Maggie to longer share a bed or even room with her her baby, but the boy was already 9 and wanted to expand his horizons.

Elijah stepped into her room, closing the door behind himself.

"Everything alright?" He asked.

"Yes. Just thinking about Kal" she replied.

"Yeah, really sucked. I didn't know him that long, but he seemed like a solid dude"

"Met him over ten years ago" she replied "How time has passed. And how people still die"

"Yeah, it's the only guaranteed thing these days"

"I almost lost you as well" she said. "Elijah, I hope you know what a friend you are to me"

Maggie rose up and hugged him again.

"Yes" Elijah stated back and decided to hug her as well, putting his arms around her.

He was 6'1, while she was 5'7, with him being a little above her. As Elijah held to her, and his arms came around stronger, and his face came to her long, soft, brown hair. He moved them out of the way and his face ended up in against her neck.

Before anyone could notice, his lips touched her bare skin.

Maggie quickly gasped and pushed him away from her.

"Elijah, what was that?" She asked, getting a little red in her face

"Sorry, Maggie, I was just lost in the…" he couldn't finish his sentence as he felt her hand come to his crotch and feel him. He was an rock-hard erection, and now she knew about it as well.

"Elijah, do you fancy me? And if so, since when?" She asked.

"Yes. For pretty much the first moment I saw you"

The two looked at each other for a moment. They both felt warm and started to get a little sweaty. She looked up at him, and he looked down at her. How their lips met with a kiss, they can't remember, but it happened.

His arms came around her waist, while hers came around his neck.

She wasn't sure what had gone through her head. Why was she doing this? What about Glenn? She needed company. That's why. She has been alone for such a long time and needed to share intimacy with someone that was. She wanted to live again.

They pulled apart again, catching for breath.

"You sure about his? What about Hershel?" He asked her. He wanted this to happen so much, but still wanted to take her wishes into consideration.

"Already asleep with Adam. I need this. I don't know why, but I do" she replied. "But I have to ask for a few things"

"Anything" he replied.

"On my bed. And we need to undress ourselves, with our back to each other"

"Why?"

"Can you do what I ask, Elijah?"

"Of course, Maggie"

Elijah turned his back to her and began to undress. His hoodie and t-shirt came of easily, while he had to fumble his belt to get his jeans and underwear down. As his underwear slipped down, his 9-inch member sprung out.

He heard her still undressing, so he decided to wait for moment.

"I'm ready" came her voice, and Elijah turned around and was smitten by what he saw.

He was simply amazed by her bare body.
