A Glimmer of Hope

The Killer Within

The following day, I woke up with an overwhelmingly dreadful feeling; as though something terrible were going to happen that day. I laid in bed, trying to think of happy thoughts, things that would bring a smile to my face. Daryl was laying next to me, it was still dark outside. I could see the sun was starting to peek over the horizon through the barred windows on the opposite side of the cell block.  

He still had his arms around me, the same position we fell asleep in. Sometimes I really don't think he moves at all in his sleep. I used to thrash so much when I was young that I fell off my bed. It would be interesting to see how we sleep together. He probably just holds me tighter unconsciously in an effort to relax me.

That was the thought that brought a smile to my face. Daryl, sleeping in the same bed as myself with the way I do, thrashing like a maniac.

I rolled over to face him. I put a gentle kiss on his forehead. He seemed to start to wake up after that. I felt guilty because he didn't spend a lot of his time sleeping. 

"'Mornin' sunshine," he said groggily, with his eyes still shut. I brought myself closer to him, feeling his pectoral muscles with my hands, caressing them gently, then moving to his upper then lower arms. 

"Good morning," I breathed into his ear softly. At this point, I had moved my hands down to his waist and continued caressing him with the tips of my fingers so that it didn't tickle, but it comforted him. "Mhhmm..." he moaned quietly.

I moved my hand down his pants and took his cock in my hands slowly and timidly brushing it with my palm and fingertips. I pulled his pants off of him with vigor to get to him faster. He rolled over to lay flat on his back. He had opened his eyes just a bit. 

I started slowly working my hand up and down his length, feeling it get harder beneath my touch. I swiftly took my shirt off and my shorts I had slept in and slipped them onto the floor. I laid myself on top of his thighs, and took him in my mouth. 

I ran my tongue up and down his length, stopping at the tip to give it a little extra attention. I gently cradled his balls in my hand. After teasing him with my tongue for several moments, I took all of him in my mouth. I let him venture as deep as I could into my throat, which wasn't too far, but I could tell he was enjoying himself. Suddenly, I could hear his breathing quicken and intensify. His body stiffened. I was bringing him close to orgasm. This was the first time I had pleasured him in this way and it was early morning I didn't think it would be too long.

He climaxed in my mouth and I swallowed his sweet juices while continuing to suck on him more. He was getting a little louder with his moaning so I gave him my hand to bite on for a moment. He slurred out "So incredibly sexy," before taking my hand in his mouth to avoid making more noise.

I took my mouth off of him and hummed sweetly as I made my way up the bed to lay next to him. He was breathing heavily. "Sorry, 'Thena. You didn't get to enjoy yourself," he said exhaling slowly. "I did that for you! I didn't expect anything in return. I did it because I love you," I said to him earnestly.

He pulled me in for a long passionate kiss after I said that. I was surprised he would kiss me after that, but that's love I suppose. 

"Thank you. I love you," he said after breaking our kiss.

We both got up, got dressed for the day and made our way down the stairs for breakfast.

I was worried that we had been heard but not too many seemed to be up yet. I made some oatmeal for Daryl and I. I brought it over to him and he smiled his thanks at me. He told me that he, Glenn and Rick were going to check out the pile ups on the outer fence today.
