Sleeping With The Enemy - Simon's POV (TWD Simon fanfic)

Home Sweet Home

Negan was waiting by the truck when we got to the gates, swinging Lucille around playfully.

"About time" he geared "I was growing old waiting around for you honey" Y/N didn't respond "Simon you better take her in your truck" he commanded "I'm about done with her sass"

"See you at home" I joked. She rolled her eyes and climbed into the passenger seat, pulling from my grasp.

We drove most of the way in silence, it was a good 2 hour drive and you were an hour and a half in before either of us spoke.

"You might like it" I smirked looking across at her, she just scoffed "The Sanctuary is pretty impressive"

"Whatever you say" she sighed looking out of the window.

"you're gonna have to change your attitude or he wont treat you well" I sighed

"What would you have me do Simon?" she hissed "Become his wife and roll over whenever he's bored of the other 5"

"If that's what it takes to survive" I replied, but I hated the idea of her being with Negan.

"Yeah well I was starting to hope there was more to this than just surviving" She sighed just loud enough for me to hear. He just ran hand over my face, so I was I. Y/N had given me hope.

When we arrived at the Sanctuary gates, I noticed Y/N's eye widen in surprise as she spotted the walkers chained up on the inside before another set of gates that we would go through on foot. The Sanctuary was  a far cry from the warm feeling you got at Hilltop.

I got out of the truck and walked over to open her door, holding out a hand to help her out. I was surprised when she accepted my gesture and placed her hand in mine. I had forgotten how good her skin felt against mine. Our eyes met and I had to stop myself allowing her to see into my soul. I put a hand on her shoulder and guided her to the next gate behind Negan and the other Saviours.

"Honey you're going to love it here" Negan grinned opening the gate that led to a yard in front of the tall grey building. Men, women and children were bustling about, gardening, hanging clothes and just playing, I noticed her smile at the sight of children. Following Negan we stopped in front of a heavy metal door that opened with a loud squeak. Dwight greeted us.

"Dwight take our new girl to her room" ordered Negan "I'll call for her when I'm ready" I suddenly felt panicked as she left my side, I didn't want to let her out of my sight. But I couldn't let my guard down in front of Negan. She looked up at me desperately as Dwight started to guide her but I had to play it cool and ignore the feeling inside me.

I followed Negan in the opposite direction. 

"Are you hiding any more stunners like her from me Simon?" he asked, I knew he was joking but I tensed anyway.

"I couldn't hide anything from you if I wanted to" I laughed

"You're right" he agreed "Maybe I should visit our settlements more often if they have women like her"

Once Negan had dismissed me I headed back to my own room to freshen up. He had told me to sort myself out and bring Y/N to his office when I was ready.

I got myself ready in record time with the hope of getting some time alone with her before Negan came looking for us.

I headed to her room and knocked, when she didn't answer I pushed open the door. 

She was sleeping. I had forgotten how beautiful she looked when she was sleeping.

I crept over to the bed and perched beside her. Now that I was so close, I could see the start of bruises forming on her neck in the shape of Negan's handprint. I felt rage bubbling inside me, but managed to suppress it as I stroked the tender skin of her throat.
