"Ok darlin'?" he asked, smiling as he wrapped his arms around her and pecked at her face and mouth with soft kisses. "My god yes - definitely ok my love" she smiled back, giggling. He drew back, placing his hands either side of her face and brushing his thumbs across her cheekbones, a tiny smirk teasing his kiss-swollen lips. "Am I really...y'know...your love?"

Carol giggled before realising how loud her laughter sounded in the night - realising how wrapped up in each other they'd gotten, to the point of forgetting how near the rest of the group were behind the thin walls of the store. She covered her mouth but let Daryl see how much she was smiling, cupping his jaw in her hands and whispering "Of course you are Daryl - you are most definitely my love"

"Good" he smiled back, kissing her neck "'cause I really need to fuck you right about now" he growled throatily "'An I'm hopin' ya'love me enough to let me do it..."

"Can't wait" Carol breathed reaching her arms up and around his neck, feeling him position himself between her still sticky thighs. She sighed as she parted her legs wider for him, rubbing his neck and panting again as she felt the shaft of his hard cock rub tantilisingly along her slit.

She felt herself building again as he slid the head of his cock back and forth along her lips and against her swollen bud. She reached round his back, tracing over his tense muscles, digging her nails into his ass, not able to keep her hands still. He locked onto her eyes as his head found her slippery opening and he paused, using his last ounce of self-restraint to tease her until she begged him "Please Daryl..."

He slid inside her with a growl, his face twisting into a mixture of agony and rapture "Jesus, woman" he gasped stopping himself from moving further into her "So tight..." he moaned, breathing heavily as he fought the overwhelming sensation of pleasure. Carol let out the breath she had been holding, opening her legs wider to give him more room and trying desperately to relax around the thickness pulsing into her. She felt herself slowly stretching inside to accommodate him, the pressure beginning to build in her again as she gripped his shoulders tightly, knowing he wasn't even halfway in and almost fearful of what she would feel next.

Daryl began to push slowly forward again, hissing as he slid into her, lifting his eyes to hers and watching for her reaction. "Ok baby?" he moaned softly, as he filled her completely. Carol let out a gutteral groan, feeling an orgasm starting to throb deep inside her, unlike anything else she had ever experienced. "Oh Daryl...please" she begged, bucking herself against him, urging him to move inside her, needing his thrusts to push her over the edge. He pushed his arms underneath her, tilting her hips and opening her wider to him as he began to slide slowly in and out of of her wetness.

"Damn, woman..." he grunted, building his pace and gripping her tighter as he slid his full length inside her then withdrew to the thick head of his cock, before plunging back in.

"Carol..." he moaned building unstoppably to his orgasm.

"Baby..." he groaned, gazing at her face and watching her mouth as she panted and whimpered beneath him. He felt her tight grip around his cock begin to pulse and realised she was coming as he fucked her.

She cried out, unable to form anything approaching coherent words as she felt herself pulsate deeply around his cock.

It tipped him over the edge, his thrusting becoming uncontrolled as he exploded inside her, a roar errupting from his lips as he buried himself deeply into the woman he loved.

Through the buzzing in his ears, the wild thumping of his heart and the intensity of pleasure he was feeling, unlike anything he'd ever experienced - through it all, he managed to hold it together. But that final thought - that he truly loved Carol and that she loved him despite the flawed, rough sonofabitch he was, was the thing that undid him.

He buried his face into her neck as tears caught in his eyes. He tried to raise the fury he would usually feel at such a pathetic display - especially from himself - but he was spent, both physically and emotionally. He felt Carol's breathing returning to normal, her body pressed luxuriously under him, her hands caressing his back, murmuring sweet noises as she held him.

"You ok?" she asked quietly, placing her hands to his jaw and lifting his head to look into his eyes. He let her see, despite the shame he was starting to feel, he let her see his face, tears welling in his eyes as he felt every part of himself silently screaming his love for her.

She gasped as she saw his eyes - her own tears immediately springing up in recognition of the emotional overload he had just experienced - understanding that he had never before felt any kind of pleasure through someone else's touch, never known trust in another person and she felt beyond honoured to have shared this with him. "It's ok...it's ok" she whispered soothingly, her fingers twisting through his hair "it was so good...so overwhelming..."

"M,sorry..." he muttered, leaning his forehead onto hers dejectedly, starting to crash after his unbelievable high.

"Daryl" she said more firmly with warning in her voice. "Don't you dare beat yourself up about this. Didn't you like it?" she asked. The memory of what they'd done flashed through her mind and she started to giggle - "Damnit - I know you loved it!" she smiled reassuringly. "It was amazing...and unlike anything we've ever felt before. It's a lot to deal with".

He knew she was right and that it didn't really matter, because whatever happened between them was just for them. Pers'nal. No one else's Godamn business.

She ran her hands slowly down his back, across the scars that had caused him to shut down his feelings all those years ago and squeezed his ass teasingly.

"You made me come" she whispered admiringly.

"Twice" he smirked, kissing her deeply, a familiar feeling stirring between them as she felt his cock, still inside her, start to harden and engorge again.
