We Belong Together

Chapter 9

Beth stood frozen to the floor where she stood. Did she just hear him right? He admitted that he loved her? She stood back and looked up into his crystal blue eyes. "Daryl, why couldn't you tell me that before I got married?" she asked. "Don't know, c'mon, Beth, you know I ain't good at feelings. Sides I thought that you would be better off with that guy. He could give you everything I couldn't. Especially a family. Maggie told me you was pregnant. " Daryl glanced at the floor at his boots. He couldn't believe he finally told her how he felt but at the same time it was conjuring up all these emotions inside him and Daryl Dixon did not do emotions. "Daryl, you're not like your father. I think you would have made a great dad and husband if you would just let yourself". She looked at the man standing in front of her. The man that could beat up a bunch of other redneck bikers, that could be the epitome of tough but was really just a bundle of emotions that was just dying to come out. "Well, lookie here," Merle's voice was like an alarm going off in the middle of dream. "Just like old times", Merle said. "Where's your man at, blondie, or did you leave him for my brother?" "Shut up, Merle", Daryl spat as he looked over at his brother. Merle was standing there with the redhead that he brought home the night Daryl got drunk and fucked the redhead's sister. Just then the sister appeared. "Hey, sugar, how are you tonight?" she said as she ran her hand up and down Daryl's arm. "You out for a good time?" the brunette asked seductively. Beth shot him a look as if to ask him what the hell was going on. "No, we were just leaving", Daryl answered and with that he and Beth left the bar and went out to the parking lot to where Beth's car was still parked. "I want to continue this conversation", she said as she and Daryl stood inches apart facing each other. "Want to follow me to my house? Wisps of blonde hair framed her face and those doe eyes of hers stared up at him like he was the beginning and end to her world all rolled up in one. "What's hubby going to say if he finds out I was at the house?" he asked her. "I'm not going to say anything if you won't", she said to him and as she did so she ran her hands up his shirt, between his leather jacket and embraced him around his neck. Daryl's head came crashing down to claim another passionate kiss on Beth's lips. They could both feel the electricity between them. The flame that had always been there but had remained hidden all this time suddenly got reignited. "Are you sure, Beth?" Daryl asked her as he broke the kiss and stared into the abyss that was her blue eyes. Beth nodded. "Yes...I want you, Daryl". Before Daryl could respond, she turned and opened her car door and got inside. Daryl bent down to give her another kiss before she shut the door. "See you in a few", he said and closed the door. As he watched her pull away a million thoughts were going through his head. The biggest question he had was what the hell had he gotten himself into? He dismissed that thought away as he turned and went to his motorcycle. Starting it up, he followed the same path that Beth's car took and made his way to her house.Beth parked her car in her driveway and made her way to her house. Turning the key in the door she stepped inside and turned the light on in the living room. She could hear his motorcycle at the end of the street even before he came into view. Her stomach started getting butterflies and that familiar feeling started to envelop her whenever she and Daryl were alone together. She set her keys down on the kitchen counter and poured herself and Daryl a glass of whiskey. She went to the fridge and got a bottle of coke and poured a little in her glass as she heard him park his bike on the side of the house and his heavy footsteps made their way onto the porch. She was there at the door to greet him as he was just about to knock. Opening the door, she stood aside for him to make his way into the house. Daryl entered the house and looked around. Everything there reminded him of Beth. From the gnome in the front lawn to the delicate country blue curtains that framed the windows in the room. "Nice house", was all he said. "Thanks. It was a gift from Daddy. He bought it for us when we got married". "Must be nice", is all Daryl said as he followed her into the kitchen. "Do you still live in that trailer with Merle?" she asked. "Yeah, we're still there", he responded. "Want a drink?" Beth asked as she handed him the glass. Daryl took it from her hands and as he took it her hand brushed against his. Daryl glanced at her. Was he really here with his flaxen haired, blue eyed angel? He began to get a little nervous as they both looked at each other. The silence was deafening as Daryl threw back his drink and set the glass on the kitchen counter. "So you said you wanted to finish this conversation..." Daryl started to say but he couldn't finish because Beth threw herself in his arms. Tears began to fall as she stood inside his embrace and told him how much she loved him and wanted him to be standing there beside her at the church that day. "Why...why didn't you get there in time? " she cried. "Why couldn't you tell me that you loved me before that day?" "I waited for you to come to me but you never did. Instead you pushed me away." "It's not over for me, all I think about is you", she continued to sob. Daryl didn't have an answer for her. He just held her in his arms. His heart sunk. If only he had gotten there in time. She would be his. Not Zach's. Damn! He was so stupid to ever let her go he thought to himself. Softly he whispered to her, "I'm here now, ain't I?" Beth's head shot up and their eyes locked. She was still so beautiful even with tears streaming down her face. "Daryl, kiss me". It wasn't really a question nor was it a command. It was said more like a need. Daryl pressed his lips to hers. At first it was hesitant almost as if he didn't believe it was real, but as the kiss continued it deepened into a longing, hungry kiss. A kiss that had been waiting to be satisfied for a very long time but somehow could not be until now. His tongue slipped inside Beth's waiting mouth; their tongues engaging in a sensuous dance. His mouth moved from her mouth to her the soft skin at the nape of her neck and as he began to kiss a trail downwards she let out a little moan. Beth's insides felt like they were on fire. She needed to be put out and Daryl was the only one that could get the job done. Before she knew what was happening, Daryl swept her up in his arms, honeymoon style and headed down the hall with her. He approached the bedroom and put her gently on the downy floral print comforter that adorned the top of her bed. Kicking his boots off, he joined her, moving to lay beside her on the bed. The moonlight glowed through the windows of the room and he could make out the curves of her face. "Beth, do you want me to stop?" "We don't have to do this, you know." Beth's reply was to pull him down on top of her in another steamy kiss. Beth's mind raced. She could think of nothing else besides being with this man. The love of her life. She slid his jacket off his shoulders and with her hand pushed it to the side of the bed. Taking the hem of his shirt, she pulled it upwards and over his head. Daryl looked down at her. He had propped himself up with one arm to keep his entire weight off of her but still had her lower body pinned to the bed. Looking into her eyes he asked one last time, "You sure that this is what you want?" "Yes, I've wanted this for a very long time", she answered, "Please, I want you. I love you". That's all that she had to say and Daryl flipped her over so that she was sitting on top of him. He slowly removed her blouse, adding it to the pile that contained his shirt and jacket. Reaching behind her, he unclasped her bra and slid the delicate straps over her shoulders and down her arms. Daryl sucked in a breath. Her breasts were perfect. Rosy peaks sat atop creamy mounds of flesh. He took one hand and began to caress one while he guided the other to his mouth, taking the tip into his mouth. Swirling his tongue around the nipple as he gently sucked her breast. When he had his fill with that one he switched and did the same with the other as Beth emitted small sounds in his ear. His hands roamed down her flesh to where her jeans were buttoned. He unfastened the button at the top and unzipped them as she moved to slide them over her thighs, to the ends of her feet, kicking them off and onto the floor. She was just in her panties now. The fabric that held her close was drenched and she could feel the slickness on the inside of her thighs. Moving down, she did the same to his pants as he did to hers. As she did so, she could feel his want of her. Hard, thick and throbbing. Pulling his pants off and sending them to the floor as she did with hers, she sat up top of his body. His gaze moved over every inch of her flesh before pulling her down in a kiss. Beth rubbed her crotch against the thin fabric that held his maleness. She couldn't wait any longer. She felt like she was going to burst if she didn't have him inside her and soon. Slipping her fingers inside the elastic that held up her panties, she tugged down and slid them off of her as she positioned herself with his waiting cock. She reached down and pulled him out from the constricting fabric. Without breaking the kiss, she sank down on his rod as she felt every single inch of his length fill her. Beth let out a gasp. Daryl was huge. Well, compared to Zach and Zach wasn't exactly average. He was at least 8" but Daryl had that beat by a couple more inches. As she began to ride him, Daryl had to restrain himself. It had been awhile since he had been with anyone and especially one that was as tight as Beth. It took everything he had to not flip her onto the bed and fuck the hell out of her. Aside from that, he didn't want to spoil it. This was much more than just fucking. The feelings that he had for her and she for him; Daryl knew it was more making love than having sex. Beth got into a rhythm and Daryl met her each time she sunk down on him. Sliding his hand to where they were connected, he began to rub tight circles around Beth's clit. Beth's breathing became labored as she approached her orgasm. "Cum for me, Beth", he said in his low raspy voice. His words sent her over the edge and her channel rippled over him almost sending him over the edge as well. Flipping her onto her back and without breaking the connection between them, he set to moving inside her. Beth wrapped her legs around his waist as he pumped into her. "Beth", he moaned. He was getting close to his own release now and in several short thrusts Daryl released his seed inside her. Afterwards, as they lay there intertwined, Daryl tried to catch his breath. Good Lord, he missed her...the way she felt in his arms, missed making love to her, missed everything about her. He knew after this night that he couldn't let her go again. He would never make that mistake again he thought. She was his now and forever. When their breathing finally got back to normal, Daryl hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. She tangled her legs around his as they embraced and she laid her head on his chest. She could hear his heartbeat. Something that she never thought she would hear ever again. Contented, Daryl drifted off to sleep as Beth clung to him. Laying there in his arms her mind wandered. She and Daryl were perfect for each other and after being with Daryl tonight, what was she going to do about Zach? She wanted to be with Daryl instead. Suddenly a wave of guilt washed over her. She broke her vow to him. She knew he'd be devastated if he found out. She silently prayed that he never would. She had to figure something out and fast.....
