Her hands were unsteady in her excitement that it was finally going to happen between them as she took off her jeans and panties. He kissed her with passionate intensity before he told her to sit down on the bench.
"Gonna give you a reward for telling me that." He went down on his knees before her and sucked on her nipple. "When's your birthday?"
"What?" His random question made no sense to her. She moaned as he moved to her other nipple.
"You're gonna have to learn to focus when I ask you a question," he said, but he stopped distracting her and waited for her to answer. "Your birthday," he prodded.
"Oh, it was in November. November fourth, but I don't even know what month it is now. Do you?"
He spread her legs apart. "Anybody ever gone down on you before?"
Beth could barely breathe as she realized what he meant. "N-no. Jimmy never did that."
"Jimmy the only guy you been with?" Daryl's gaze was on her face, but his hands still held her legs apart while he stroked her thighs with his thumbs.
"Yes. Listen Daryl, why don't we just--"
Her sentence ended in a gasp as he licked her right in the spot where she liked to touch herself. She couldn't believe that he would want to put his mouth there, but the feel of his tongue was incredible. Her moans became increasingly louder as she neared her climax. After she came, Beth sat limply on the bench as she caught her breath.
"Feel better now?" Daryl asked with a smug smile. He stood up and patted her leg. "Better get dressed and go to bed now."
"But what about you?" She moved to unzip his pants, but he stepped out of her reach.
"Gonna finish in the shower while I'm thinking about the way you sounded, the way you tasted." His blue eyes were still darkened by desire.
She could tell that he was surprised when she leaned in and kissed him passionately, but she wasn't about to let him leave without a good luck kiss. They might not get a chance tomorrow when everyone was awake.
"See how good you taste?" He laughed at the expression on her face. "Well, you taste good to me."
"If you say so. That was so..." She looked directly into his eyes. "You didn't have to do that, but thank you."
"You don't get it, do you? I enjoyed that just as much as you did."
That wrung a strange laugh out of her. "I don't think so."
"You shouldn't stroke my ego like that. It's dangerous." The expression on his face gave her pause, because she couldn't tell if he was joking or not.
Of course, he was just messing with her, but she hurried to get dressed anyway. He gave her a quick peck on the lips before he went to finally take his shower. Beth went to her cell and slept fitfully, her worry returning while she was alone with her thoughts. She was a bundle of nerves the next day and reached her breaking point when Merle and Glenn got into a fight. Before she knew what she was doing, she had grabbed a gun and fired a shot into the ceiling. That got their attention and ended the fight at least, but she didn't calm down until Rick returned with Daryl and her father. Even though nothing was settled with the Governor, the people she cared about were safe for the moment.
