A Secret Affair (Daryl Dixon) ON HOLD

chapter 17

She couldn't take her eyes off him. Watching as the summer Sun bore down on his bare back, muscles glistening with sweat as he dug the shovel into the hard dirt. He rose up, wiped his face with a rag from his back pocket and leaned against the shovel his eyes meeting hers.

He smiled. She blushed and ducked her head. When she looked back up he was back to digging.

"Sure is hot out." Glenn groaned as he plopped down onto the stairs beside her. Beth smiled, stretching out her bare legs.

"Feels good." She replied and he looked at her like she was crazy.

"Must be a red neck thing." He muttered causing Beth to laugh softly.

"Must be." Daryl commented causing both to gasp and look up. He was standing over Beth's outstretched legs, shovel in one hand the other tucked into his pants pocket.

"God your sexy." The words slipped out of her mouth before she could think. Daryl grinned wickedly and Glenn lurched to his feet.

"So yeah I'm gonna go find mags." And he was gone. Daryl knelt down infront of her on his knees, her legs between his. He laid the shovel down and placed a hand on either side of her causing her to lean back onto her elbow as he leaned over her.

"What are you doing?" She asked her face flaming. this was the first time he had ever got this close to her in public.

"Kissing my wife." He said a moment before his lips crashed on hers. She moaned and leaned into the kiss hands coming up to tangle in his sweaty hair. His lips left hers moving down to her neck.

"Technically we are not married yet." She breathed on a sigh as his teeth raked over her ear.

"Way i see it we are." His hand moved to her bare thigh fingers digging into the hot flesh. "I've been inside you several times, you've gave birth to my son. You are my wife in every way but name." He whispered in her ear. A smile spread across her face and she quickly turned her head, capturing his lips with hers.

"I love you." She whispered as she pulled back. He smiled, fingers squeezing her thigh slightly.

"Yeah I know." Then he was gone, rising to his feet and picking up the shovel getting back to work. Beth shook her head and sighed. He still had problems telling her he loved her. Some times he said it but it was only every now and then. She drew her legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them resting her chin on her knees.

She continued to watch him in till Carl called her inside to feed Hunter.

........

"I say we move on, this place won't stay safe for long." Michonne argued at Maggie.

"Its not safe out there with two babies." Maggie argued back. Beth watched on silently, Hunter snuggled in her arms playing with her fingers. He was getting to where he could hold his head up good and grabbing everything he could. Daryl groaned from the corner and rolled from his position on the couch so his back was to them.

He had had a close call earlier when three walkers ambushed him and Glenn. Daryl killed two and Glenn the third but he had swung the shovel to hard, hitting the walker in the head and Daryl along with it. He had a Hell of a bruise and headache. Rick had to drag him off Glenn after it happened.

"You ok." Glenn asked him still slamming himself.

"Fine China man, got a killer head ache but ill live." Daryl snapped more than annoyed with Glenn's constant pestering. Glenn opened his mouth but Daryl interrupted him.

"You say sorry one more damned time ill shoot ya in the ass." He grumbled causing Glenn to smile slightly.

"I'll shut up." He said.

"Thank god." Daryl grumbled. " Beth give me my kid." He snapped again and she lurched forward entailing Hunter in between Daryl and the couch. Daryl sighed and curled the baby into his chest. Beth smiled as both her boys closed there blue eyes and drifted to sleep.

.......

"Damn China man got me good." Daryl hissed as he prodded his fingers against the massive bruise on the left side of his face as he looked in the bathroom mirror.

"Could have been worse. Way Glenn was swinging you lucky ya didn't need stitches." Beth said from the doorway. Daryl glanced at her in the reflection. She was leaning against the frame in only his shirt her head resting against the wall. She was watching him with worried eyes and he sighed.

"I'm fine ya know." He said and she smiled slightly.

"I know, just when I saw the shovel come around....and then you hit the ground....I thought...." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "But then you jumped up and was on glenn before I could blink." She laughed shaking her head softly. "I know I shouldn't worry about you but...but I do." Her eyes meet his. "I don't think I could face this world with out you." Daryl turned to face her and held out his arms. She burrowed into them and closed her eyes listening to his heart beat strong and

steady.

"You ain't gonna have to face anything with out me." His arms tightened around her small frame. "Ill all ways be here."

ok so not the best update but I was in and out of doctor appointments today. so I wrote a little n between each visit. But on the bright side I don't have to see my shrink any more and on the bad side I broke my leg yesterday. it is shook my husband's fault. He bet me I wouldn't ride the dirt bike and it raining well....needless to say I did. I was doing good too in till I hit a damn hole in the ground. then well I have a clean break in my shin so yeah no more dirt bike for me for 6 to 8 weeks. My doctor asked me what I could possibly have been thinking riding a dirt bike in the rain and I told him it sounded fun and I wanted to show my husband mine are just as big as his lol. Now he has to cater to my every wish, and I'm soaking it all up. Matter of fact I'm about to wake him and to fix me something to drink lol.

on the bright side again now that I am temp. handicap I can update a lot more. 

oh and if anyone has any stories they want me to read please let me know, I'm am so going to die of boredom before the end of summer.
