Taking a Chance

Chapter 17

Daryl had been waiting to get Gabrielle in his arms again for months. He wasn't going to waste any more time talking, it was time for kissing and more... much, much more. Kissing her also meant he would not have to answer her question. He wanted to put that off for as long as he could. Maybe forever.

He felt her body simply melt into his, so he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her down so that they were lying together on the sofa. Their lips sought out each other with a hunger that came from them being apart for so long. He kissed her for the longest time, just loving her taste, her soft lips and her eagerness to be with him. He had never enjoyed kissing as much as he did with Gabrielle. In the past kissing was where it started and that was always to lead to him getting laid. With her it was so different, so sensuous and he loved it.

Daryl finally flipped them around so he was on top. He had more control this way. Their lips and tongues still playing together as the heat continued to rise between them. Daryl broke their kiss to trail his lips down her neck. He pushed the neck of her shirt over her shoulder to nibble on her bare skin. Then he kissed his way over to her collar bone, his hand roving to finally find her breast and rubbing her firm nipple beneath the fabric. Gabrielle could do nothing but moan in pleasure underneath him.

She pressed her hips up into Daryl's, his hard erection pressing against her. Their clothes were the only thing separating them. Daryl's hand stroked her nipples until they ached and Gabrielle's breathing deepened. He touched her like he read her mind – hard then soft, quick then slow. Everything she wanted. Everything she needed.

Suddenly he was gone, his weight off her left like a loss and Gabrielle opened her eyes to beg him to come back. Her desperate blue eyes found his and they locked onto each other. He held out his hand for her to take and get up. Daryl no longer wanted to continue where they were. He wanted the comfort of the bed...her bed.

"Bedroom," was all he said and Gabrielle instantly knew what he wanted. She took his hand and lead him through the living room, past the kitchen and dining room and finally down the hall where the bedrooms where. It had been a long time since she had a man in hers.

Daryl only had time to notice that the room was as large as his living room and kitchen combined, plus she had a big king size bed. That's all that mattered right then was the bed. The sooner he could get her on it, the sooner he could get his hands on her.

Gabrielle was the one to crush her lips against his this time, their mouths back together tasting and tormenting the other. Her fingers frantically grabbed the hem of his t-shirt and pulled it up over his head. Their lips separating only for the time it took to get rid of his shirt. Gabrielle splayed her hands on his chest, loving the touch of his warm skin.

Daryl proceeded to remove Gabrielle's shirt as fast as he could, with her bra following it forgotten on the floor. He groaned when he felt her bare breasts up against his chest. He couldn't resist cupping them both before his hands dropped to his pants.

They parted only long enough for each of them to get rid of boots, pants and anything else that was in the way of them being naked. Quickly they found each other on the bed, bodies pressed together desperate for that touch of the other. Bare skin against bare skin. Gabrielle was on her back and Daryl lay half on top of her, neither having said a word since Daryl told her where he wanted to go.

"I want you so bad, Princess," Daryl groaned as his erection pressed into her inner thigh. Close...so damn close.

"Yes, oh God yes," Gabrielle sighed. No man had ever made her feel the way he did and she had been without him too long.

Daryl's mouth found hers again and flicking his tongue had Gabrielle instantly opening for him. His fingers wove through her thick black hair holding her close. The whole world was reduced to just the two of them and nothing more. Their hands on each other...their bodies on fire...their existence reduced to just one purpose and that was to find the way to come together as one.
