Solitary {2} : The Walking Dead

Chapter Forty-seven.

Lost my appetite.

Daryl holds onto Iris's hand as they walk towards the walls of Alexandria, they stop when they notice the mess left from the horde, Daryl looks over to Iris before they start walking again.

Iris notices Carol standing at the opening, working with the others to build the walls up again, she lets go of Daryl's hand and walks away, standing and waiting for them to finish talking.

When Daryl is finished he walks back over to Iris and holds onto her hand as they slowly walk through the community, Iris looks over at Negan as he watches them, she looks back and watches Maggie as she looks at the man.

The sound of footsteps running towards them catches Iris's attention, she smiles as she watches Judith and RJ running over to them with Dog following them, Iris lets go of Daryl's hand and picks RJ up, the boy hugs her tight as she leans down and hugs Judith. Together they make it back to the house, Iris sets RJ down onto the floor and walks into the kitchen while the other three mess around.

Iris starts cooking dinner for them smiling as she looks up at Daryl playing with the kids, the front door opens and Lydia walks into the house, "hey kid" Iris says, "hey" the girl says, sitting at the kitchen island in front of Iris as she cooks, "you hungry?" Iris asks, "yeah" Lydia smiles.

Iris cooks dinner and Lydia sets the table, the group sit down and start eating, talking and laughing, Iris can't help but sit back and smile at her family. The front door opens and Carol walks into the room, Iris looks away from the woman, her smile dropping, "sit, eat" Daryl says, Carol sits at the table and Iris drops her fork onto her plate before picking it up, standing and walking out of the house.

She looks around as the sun starts to go down, her eyes stop on Negan as he sits by himself, Iris walks down her porch steps and makes her way over to the man. "Hey red" he says, looking at her as she sits next to him, "here" she says handing her plate of food to him, "why?" he asks, "lost my appetite" Iris mumbles as he takes the plate, she pulls her hair out of her ponytail and runs her hands through her roots.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but I've noticed a bit of bad blood between you and Carol. Aren't you two friends?" Negan asks, when Iris doesn't say anything Negan gets his answer, "she try and make a move on your man?" Negan asks, "leave my plate on the porch when you're done" Iris mumbles, standing and walking away.

Iris sits by the water, holding her dog tags and smoking a cigarette as she watches the house, Daryl steps out from the front door and she watches his eyes scan the community stopping on her, he slowly walks over to her and sits down. "The kids are in bed" he mumbles, taking Iris's cigarette and lifting it to his lips.

"Good" Iris whispers, shoving her tags into her pocket, "she's gone to bed too" Daryl adds, he looks over to Iris as he hands the cigarette back to her, Iris slowly stands, holding her hand out to Daryl, the man stands and takes her hand before walking back to the house.

They quietly make their way down to the basement, Iris kicks off her boots and takes her belt off, sitting it down on the floor. She looks up and watches Daryl lift his top over his head, she walks forward and gently runs her fingers over his bruised back, leaning in she peppers kisses across his warm skin.

Daryl slowly turns and looks down at Iris, sitting his hands on her hips, Iris lifts her top over her head, discarding it on the floor, leaving her in her bra, Daryl leans down and captures her lips in a kiss, pulling her closer in by her hips, Iris grips onto the waistband of Daryl's trousers, pulling at them and unbuttoning them.

Daryl kicks his trousers off before unbuttoning Iris's shorts, Iris steps out of her bottoms and pulls away from the kiss catching her breath, Daryl lifts Iris and she wraps her legs around his waist leaning in and kissing her again, her fingers get lost in his hair, gently pulling at the roots as he walks them over to the couch.

He sits down and holds her in his lap, Iris lets out a quiet sigh as Daryl moves his lips to her jaw, moving down to her neck as his hands gently unclip her bra, throwing it across the room as he continues to kiss down her naked chest.

Daryl looks up at her as he gently sucks on her skin, watching her eyes close and her mouth open slightly as her mind goes blank with pleasure, Iris opens her eyes and pulls Daryls head back, leaning down and kissing him, she gently pushes him back and sits on his lap as he lays down, she leans down and kisses across his chest.

Slowly making her way down to the waistband of his boxers, she looks up at him as she pulls the fabric down, she takes her own underwear off before moving up his body again, capturing his lips in a deep passionate kiss, Daryl intertwines his fingers with hers as she slowly lowers herself onto him, both of them holding back a moan as she sinks lower.

Iris slowly starts to grind herself back and forth, her head falling back in pleasure, Daryl can't pull his eyes away from her as he's captured by her beauty, he lets go of her hand and grips her hips, squeezing her warm skin gently as he helps guide her.

A knot builds in Iris as pleasure shoots through her body, she bites down on her lip as she looks down at Daryl, his eyes already on her, she leans down and lays her lips on his, wanting him closer as the knot unties, Daryl coming undone close after her. She pulls away from the kiss and Daryl carefully moves her, pulling out of her and laying her on top of him again, she lays her head on his chest as he kisses the top of her head, running his fingers across her back.

"We're pretty good at this" Iris jokes, gently drawing patterns on Daryls chest with her fingers, she listens as he lets out a deep chuckle, "when was the last time we did this?" Iris asks, Daryl thinks for a minute "six years" Daryl mumbles, Iris lifts her head and kisses Daryl before standing up.

Daryl watches her naked body as she walks across the room, pulling on her underwear before taking one of his tops and pulling it on, Daryl pulls on his boxers and sits back, watching her as she looks around the room, gently brushing her fingers over things, she stops and looks down at the letter from Juniper, laying on the table.

Daryl notices her zoning out, he stands and walks over to her, wrapping his arms around her and resting his chin on her shoulder, "you okay?" he asks, Iris lays her hands on his arms, "the best i've been in a while" Iris whispers.
