A Safe Place

By evening, the group had come across an old Georgia plantation home that was perched upon a hill, overlooking the small quaint town of "Magnolia", nestled safely at the bottom. Because the mansion was sitting atop a hill, the angle provided them with an excellent viewpoint. They would be able to see a herd coming for a mile and be long gone before walkers could shuffle to the top. They had pulled over to the side as Daryl and Rick had discussed the possibility of staying, and they had quickly agreed that it would be as good a place as any to stay for the night, maybe longer if things looked promising. Carol relaxed her arms from around Daryl's waist as the convoy came to a stop. She glanced up at the mansion and smiled. It was absolutely mesmerizing. It was white with black shutters, and it had four columns gracing the front. There was also a wrap around balcony at the top. The front door was centered, with a decorative crown, and a giant Magnolia tree sat in front of the house, providing it with shade. A house of this size was bound to be loaded down with supplies. She could not help but wonder if maybe they had found a permanent place to stay. Carol reverted her attention back to Daryl as he jerkily removed her arms from around his waist. He lowered the kickstand on the bike and moved to get off. "Stay here, gonna go help clear it out." He growled as he grabbed up his crossbow from the front of the bike. Carol looked at him, noticing that scowl on his face. Her smiled dropped. "Oh...o..okay." She replied, stumbling over her words. She watched as he stormed off. Did she do something wrong? Maybe he was just being nice when he had asked her if she wanted to ride with him? Was she being a burden to him? To say she was co... ... middle of paper ... ... raised his head and looked at her face while he gently tweaked her nipples. She was flushed and feverish, panting hard. The moment their eyes met, her eyes blazed. Carol brought her hands up to his shirt, her fingers clumsy and fumbling as she tried to unbutton his shirt. "Fuck it!" She muttered as she ripped the fabric open, buttons flying across the room, exposing his muscled chest. She wrestled his shirt down his arms, letting it flutter to the floor. Daryl lowered his head and nipped softly at her neck, walking her backwards to the dresser that sat on the far side of the room. Daryl growled at the whimpering sound she made when he sucked gently at her pulse point. With one hand, he raked the items that were littering the top of the dresser, sending it crashing to the floor. He wrapped his arms around her tiny waist, lifting her until she was sitting on top.
