Years of hard work
Years of graft
And quite honestly the hardest year of my life at the end.
But I bloody did it.
Roll on finding an industry job!
She paused, opening her eyes to look at him. Then chuckled just a bit. " Sweetheart. You know, as much as I do, I only do what I want. She pulled her hand up to cup his cheek again, running a thumb over it.
" I want you, Danny. Right now, when we're alone and don't have to worry about our responsibilities. " She raised a brow at him, her eyes gentle but full of her own need.
" Plus, we have no one who is going to interrupt us right now." She chuckled, leaning her head on his arm. " It feels like the perfect time to act like teenagers again. Plus we did find those condoms.... might as well put them to use before they expire."
Heâd actually wondered about thoseâŠ
Heâd seen her stash the condoms in their bag, and for a hot second he was going to applaud her for thinking of Lee on their trip, too. After all heâd recently been noticeably closer to Carley, spending more and more time in her room when he didnât have Clementine.
Danny gulped, smiling, before leaning down so he could speak lowly against her lips. âYou do make a valid point⊠theyâll be better than the shitty one thatâs been in my wallet since high school.â
He gently kissed her, hand cupping her cheek, and his free arm moving to her waist, pulling her close, all the while gently teasing her lips with his tongue,
Ash leaned into him, slipping her hand over his chest and up to cup his neck. Her lips opened, and let him press his tongue into her mouth. It was only a few moments before she closed her lips around the muscle, gently sucking on it.
While she'd been less sure at the motel, all of her qualms were mostly gone. There were always the normal threats, but without anyone around to walk in on them - or hear if she panicked - Ash could relax and simply enjoy herself.
She pulled away, taking a breath and meeting his gaze. " I want you, Danny. Please?"
Danny could only smile, kissing her back with as much vigour as she gave him. His hand tightened on her waist.
When she broke away, though, and muttered just how much she wanted him⊠Jesus, it had him almost floating off of the ground with how relieved he was.
He reignited their kiss and pulled her close to him, tongue once again slipping in, before he rolled them over so she was beneath him, though made sure to prop himself up using his knuckles so to not block her in.
Then he pulled away, trailing his kisses down⊠down, and further down to her collarbone.
He looked up at her as he moved, his head moving down between her breast, and his hands moving to her shirt. â⊠can IâŠ?â
Can I take it off�
Ash bit her lip, watching him as he kissed down her chest. Then he asked, and for a moment, she froze. The fear that shot through her was very real. What if he saw her scars and hated her for them? Or if they turned him off?
Her hands clenched the blanket as she took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She'd already shown him her scars. He wanted her despite them. Her mind was tricking her.
She licked her lips, before leaning up and pulling off her shirt. " now yours." She said, giving him a little smile.
Danny could only wait⊠and wait⊠as she thought over her options. He could see her brain ticking away, thinking over every possible outcome and every potential way this could go wrong.
But then she sat up slightly and reached down, bringing up her shirt when she finally, finally brought her hands up.
He just sat there and took her in. His brain short circuited, and he could only gulp, his throat dry and his brain completely blank in pure shock.
Heâd known she had a past when they started dating (if it could even be called that)⊠heâd known sheâd had a child, and as such her body would be different to other girls their age⊠heâd known about her scars⊠but even with all that; the scars, the stretch marks, the slight amount of extra skin from where sheâd carried ClementineâŠ. He barely registered it.
âHoly shit⊠holy shit sheâs⊠sheâsââ
â⊠beautifulâŠâ
The word came from him unknowingly, his blue eyes trailing over her form with a clear hunger yet also with a very real, very obvious tenderness. He reached out and pushed some hair back, smiling at her.
âIâm⊠Iâm so fucking luckyâŠâ
Her request had hit him, and as such he pulled his own shirt off easily, balling it up and tossing it aside, revealing his chest to her. He was hairy and firm, a couple scars littering his body, with the oldest one being from the site of his chemotherapy port, sitting directly over his right pectoral.
Ash watched him before sitting up slightly to run her hand over his chest. Her eyes wandering over his bare chest following her fingers before landing on the port scar.
Her fingers moved around it as she pondered it. Then she looked back up into his eyes. " What happened here?" She asked before glancing back to the spot.
Her scars were numerous, brought about by the narcissism of a dead man while he still breathed. But this didn't look like that. Unless he'd been shot, Ash didn't think he'd gotten into a gun fight.
Danny smiled as she explored his chest, her fingers gently moving over hard muscle. But she stopped at his scar, and he gulped, looking down at It. His brow furrowed, and he shrugged.
âChemo port scar.â The answer was simple, as if I were obvious. âGot it when I was a kid, ended up getting one or my nuts removed when I was fourteenâŠâ
It felt weird talking about it, if he was honest⊠so far any girlfriends hadnât even bothered to ask, let alone give a fuck. But Ash⊠Ash was different.
He gulped and cleared his throat. Turning his gaze away in a little shame.
âItâs not really much to look at I knowâŠâ
" Danny." She murmured, before leaning forward to press a gentle kiss to the scar. " I'm glad you're cancer free, and you told me your story. I was honestly thinking you might have been shot." She chuckled before kissing up his chest.
When she reached his neck, Ash kissed along his pulse point. She sucked gently at it as she cupped his cheek. " It's your story, sweetheart. The size doesn't matter. The story does."
Danny smiled as she kissed his scar, his Adamâs apple bobbing in his throat as she slowly inched her way up to his neck again, paying attention to his pulse point.
He gently shifted then, angling himself so he wouldnât press his groin against her; his erection slowly atarting to form.
âI ever tell you that I love youâŠ?â He mumbled, moving his palm down and cupping her cheek, pressing his lips to hers in a passionate, deep, but still gentle kiss. âBecause holy fuck I love youâŠâ
And then he continued his previous actions, slowly slipping his way down her body until he found himself level with her chest. His lips pressed against the skin above her bra, before slowly pulling down the left side so she fell free of the confines, her nipple hard in the cold air around her.
And then he moved, kissing around the soft skin of her breast before he latched on with his tongue and lips, starting to gently suck at her.
She paused, opening her eyes to look at him. Then chuckled just a bit. " Sweetheart. You know, as much as I do, I only do what I want. She pulled her hand up to cup his cheek again, running a thumb over it.

He gently kissed her, hand cupping her cheek, and his free arm moving to her waist, pulling her close, all the while gently teasing her lips with his tongue,
Her cheeks were flushed, and she gasped before pressing her lips to his again. Her hand slipped down, running over his chest and down to his hip. Her fingers teased the skin above his pants until they slipped just under the lip.
" I want you~" she murmured against his lips. Her fingers still rubbing, enticing at his waist. " No one's here. So no one will bother us. If I freak out, we won't have to worry about anyone thinking anything about it." She pressed a little harder against him. " Please. I want to try~"
Dannyâs heart stopped for a second, and his breath hitched.
She hadnât⊠she hadnât said what he thought sheâd said⊠had she?
He blinked dumbly, looking at her in complete shock as she kissed him, fingers gently working their way down⊠down⊠downâŠ
Oh, shit⊠did she think she had to or somethingâŠ? Sheâd never shown any sort of interest before now, after all.
Until his free hand moved, gently laying over her wrist to stop her, though he didnât remove it, just giving it enough pressure to pause her actions.
âYou⊠you donât have toâŠâ He mumbled against her, breath hot and chest rising and falling in pure desire. âI, I mean youâ youâve never wanted to â and now, iâ I donât want you thinking you have toâ not for my sake, Iââ
âI donât want you to resent me⊠I donât want you to regret me. I donât want to hurt youâŠâ
Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up into his eyes. There was a fear there. She could see it just a bit in his eyes. Ash gave him a little smile, her fingers splaying out over his chest and pressed a kiss to his lips.
" I know." She whispered against his lips as her hand moved to cup his neck. Her thumb moved gently over his skin, her eyes fluttering shut as the kiss continued.
While the room was far enough to the back that she knew it would take a while for anyone to find them. Plus, there were no kids to interrupt them....
Warmth began to spread through her as she deepened the kiss, her heart pounding painfully against her chest as she pressed tighter against him.
Danny could only smile as he melted into her, and as she melted into him. His arm moved around her shoulders, holding her against him as she kissed him.
But then she deepened it, and his own heart felt like it would pound out of his chest. Sheâd never been this forward â heâd always been the one pushing his luck to see how far he could go (within reason).
He grunted into the kiss, moving his free hand up to the back of her neck and pulling her closer, biting her lip a little as he came up for air, panting and red faced as he attempted to get his blood pressure under control.
Admittedly, he wanted her. Heâd wanted her for months now, but had never pushed her â never would push her. He was just content to be with her.
But goddamn he wanted her. That much was evident in the way he had to angle himself to conceal the slow tenting of his pants that had resulted from Ashâs impromptu make out session.
âThink of grandma⊠think of grandma⊠you know she wonât want you⊠she doesnât want you like thatâŠâ
Ash chuckled, popping open two of the blankets that they'd found in a box in the back. She figured they could fill a cart with the blankets, and sheets- since there was at least four more boxes worth- and push that back to the motel. Then moved closer to the bedrolls and draped the comforter over them both.
" we're going to need all the warmth we can get." She chuckled, cuddling into his side. " plus a big day tomorrow. Lots of stuff to bring back. We really did hit the motherload."
Her hand moved slowly over his chest, drawing circles and tracing his buttons. " I'm really glad you came with me. You are much better company than Larry or Mark. "
Danny could only smile, huddling her into his side and pressing a gentle kiss to her head.
His own hand slowly moved up and down her back the way he knew she loved, fingertips barely grazing her skin. âWell Iâm glad⊠plus I bet Iâm a lot cuddlier than them, too.â He teased, smiling.
His hand gently set on her forearm, not stopping her gentle movements at all, simply relaxing into her touch.
He turned his head down to look at her, smiling gently as the meagre lantern light hit her just right, casting an almost glow around her.
â⊠youâre so fucking beautiful⊠god, i love youâŠâ
The words came out without him meaning to say anything, and his Adamâs apple bobbed a little in his neck.
" Pant size is 5, and a medium or large should last her all winter at least." She called back, beginning to take clothes off the racks and fill one of the two trash bags she'd brought. Ash had no idea what size everyone was, so she grabbed the larger sizes and stuffed them in the bag. " Grab a few pairs of pants in that size and larger. I'm sure Duck is getting a bit too big for his clothes too."
She took a deep breath, heading deeper into the store and found a door to the back. They might be able to find a place to sleep there, and rest in questionable safety. Along the aisle was a few different winter toys, including a couple of sleds. She grabbed one, carrying it back to the front. " Hey, look what I found. We can use it to get everything back."
Danny smiled, looking at the jacket he was holding with a small hint of sadness -- but ultimately turned to Ash when she reappeared with the sled, holding up the jacket with a quirked brow. "I know you said Medium or large, but I thought I'd grab her an XL kids just to make sure she's got something that lasts." He said, sadly, knowing that ultimately they had to prepare for a potential future in which they had to endure this hell for longer than necessary. He gestured to the bag by his feet, which was stuffed with thermal things, and a few hats and pairs of gloves. "Got some for Duck, too. Though I don't think he'll appreciate the pink coat I got him. Needs must though, I guess."
He reached out and pushed some hair back up into her had, smiling. "You find anything good? Think the back room's safe enough for us to bunk in for the night?"
" If it keeps him warm, I doubt he'll complain." She chuckled, moving the shed over by the door. This would help with a quick escape if the need arose and put her bag on the sled. She stretched before turning back to him with a small smile.
" I haven't checked the back yet. I figured that we could do that together. Safety in numbers and all that. Plus, we can look at any backstock they had." She shrugged. " So do you want to check the back first, or raid the food aisles just in case something was left? Then we can grab a camp stove on the way to the back."
If they could find some food, she was sure they could find a camp stove to make something hot. Especially with how untouched this store was.
Danny could only smile as he walked over and dumped his own bag down onto the sled beside hers, pushing them together when they both toppled a little.
They ended up raiding the rest of the store cautiously, their flashlights illuminating the ever darkening corners and shelves as they searched.
And once theyâd managed to find a small camping stove, which Danny had set up safely in the back room (a warehouse, heâd noted after thoroughly checking everywhere to satisfy them both it was safe) they settled â with him eventually stretching out across his bed roll, solidly muscular limbs almost gangly in how relaxed heâd become.
âSo I say we head out first thing.â He mumbled, his cap over his eyes, the bill pulled down a little to shield himself from any light rays, and his plaid jacket rolled up over his forearms. âGives us a chance to have one last sweep before we head home.â
He yawned and smiled at Ash, raising his arm ever so slightly. â⊠wanna come over here and take some of my body heat? I got too much and I donât wanna be greedy.â
It was a small joke, a gentle smile following. She always said he was a human hot water bottle, curling up to him in the night wherever possible.
" Pant size is 5, and a medium or large should last her all winter at least." She called back, beginning to take clothes off the racks and fill one of the two trash bags she'd brought.

He reached out and pushed some hair back up into her had, smiling. "You find anything good? Think the back room's safe enough for us to bunk in for the night?"
" You're not wrong." She chuckled before giving Clem another kiss. " I'll bring you a present when I come back."
Ash slipped back from the door. It wasn't the best barrier, but it would make due so long as the walkers didn't group up against the doors. " I mean, I'm sure they have a back office we can set up shop in." She shrugged, before heading deeper into the building. " We might even find some stuff in the back stock." She stretched, looking over the racks as they started towards the back. " I'm surprised this place hasn't been torn apart by scavengers yet."
Danny smiled, watching her as she stretched out â her jacket lifting to expose that little bit of skin on her back and stomach.
What? He was a red blooded man. Of course he took the chance to perv on his girlfriend when given it.
After tearing his eyes away, he looked over the various racks of clothing, grabbing a few bits for the men in the group as he did â coats and thicker pants being priority.
Then he managed to stumble into the kids section, pulling out a padded coat that he felt would be thick enough.
âAy, Ash? Whatâs Clemâs size in jackets and pants?â He called to his girlfriend, who was nearby. âFound somethinâ that might be small enough for her. Oughtâa to size up a little, just to make sure it fits for a while.â
How quickly Lilly had agreed made Ash skeptical of her intentions. She didn't trust Lilly, especially after she'd caught her gazing at Danny while he was on watch. But she wasn't about to do anything about it. If Danny decided he didn't want to be with her, then they had a good thing while it lasted.
She wrapped Clem in a tight hug but could feel her shivering under the light jacket she wore. " I know, sweetheart. We have to go farther out than normal, but so long as we don't get snowed in, we should be back in two days." She smiled down at her daughter, then booped her nose. " hopefully sooner than that. But we have to bring back a lot of stuff for winter. So we all won't be so cold." She smiled, kissing her head again. " I promise, I'll be back."
Lee could only smile sadly, reaching over to hug his girls again, kissing the side of Ashâs head. âYou be safe out thereâŠâ He mumbled. âAnd you take care of him. Pretty boy over thereâs a good hunter, but he ainât the sharpest tool in the shed.â
It didnât take long for the group to see them off, and then they found themselves on their way, the journey being long and oftentimes annoying in the way they needed to dodge clumps of walkers where necessary.
âAll clearâŠâ He muttered quietly, barricading the door of the store theyâd found themselves in and stepping back once he knew they were safe. He shucked off his backpack and took out the bag kept within. â⊠i say we grab what we can, make camp for the night, then set out first light.â
She chuckled, returning the kisses. " I understand." She said, stretching a bit. " But I'm also going to talk to Lilly. We need to find warmer things. Blankets, clothes mostly. Shoes too."
She pulled away from him, stretching again before looking out the window at the slow falling snow. " It is pretty, though. It's almost pretty enough to forget we're in an apocalyptic event."
'Though my life sure seems to be one big apocalyptic event.' Some insistent voice said at the back of her mind. She shook her head, pushing the voice away before she began to get dressed.
Lilly, thankfully and surprisingly, was more than eager to allow the extra supply run. She even switched out with Danny, opting for a double shift on watch, to allow the groups most experienced hunter to potentially find something â anything â out there en route.
Danny grinned as he hugged Clementine, patting her back before pulling her cap down over her eyes playfully. âYou be good now. Iâll take care of your mom. I promise.â
One more hug, a firm handshake with Lee, and then he passed the girl off to Ash, motioning that heâd be waiting for her by the gate as she said goodbye for however long the trip took them.
âHow long are you gonna be gone for?â Clem asked, with Lee echoing her question as he pulled his girls in for a hug. Lilly said itâs a two day run at best?â
She smirked before taking his head into her mouth. He was too big for her to take all of him, but god, she almost wanted to try. Her hand slipped up to cup his balls, gently massaging them as her tongue lapped over him. Her free hand circled him again, stroking him gently and in time with her tongue.
Danny could only groan, his breath leaving him in a wheeze not unlike a balloon deflating as her mouth descended. He knew, of course, she'd not be able to take his entire length -- but goddamn he wanted to reach out and have her try.
His hand moved to the back of her head, gently pushing her down further as his hips curled up -- her palm coupled with the slick warmth of her mouth having him nearing completion already.
"O-oh, jesus... Holy fuck, Ash... Holy shit..." He managed to gasp in pure ecstasy, chest heaving as he tried to keep a handle on himself, balls clenching as a tightness built in them.
His hand started moving her head a little, guiding her up and down on him, and he was nearing his finish when--
"Momma!"
Clementine's voice announced her arrival, and the door's knob turned. Danny, in turn, pushed her head away from him and grabbed the covers, knowing he didn't have time to fully dress himself before they were interrupted.
Surely enough, the little girl managed to open the door, barrelling inside and launching herself at her mother, grinning.
"Momma! Momma, it's snowing!"
He was so close that Ash could feel him trembling under her mouth. God, he was so close she couldn't help but feel excited. She stroked the part she couldn't take, letting him move her head gently.
Then she heard the tell-tale sound of her daughter and pulled up and away even as Danny pushed her. She was on her feet a moment before the door opened, and Clem threw herself at Ash.
" Is it, sweetness? I'm not really dressed to go outside yet. Give me a few minutes, and I'll come look at the snow with you. Okay?" She asked, smiling down at the little girl. " and I'm sure Dad would want to play in the snow. Especially if you hit him with a snowball."
Danny grunted, immediately covering himself and tucking himself away once covered, as Clementine twittered away happily.
âIâm gonna go grab dad! He said weâre gonna make snow angels!â She grinned, eventually, turning to Danny and smiling at him. âYouâre gonna come play too? Before you go on watch?â
Danny could only smile at that and nod, reaching out to gently ruffle the girls hair. âAbsolutely, kid. Wouldnât miss it for the world.â
Ash chuckled as Clem ran out, closing the door behind her. Then, she rubbed her arm slightly as she gave Danny a little smile. Slowly, she moved over to him, slipping her hand in his before leaning closer. " Should we continue?" She asked, sliding her free hand up his leg.
Danny just smiled as he watched her go, a few snowflakes drifting in through the backdraft as the door closed.
Then Ash was beside him again, and he smiled, his larger hand closing around hers, bringing both of them up to loop his arm around her, holding her close to his chest where he pressed a kiss to her lips.
âAs much as Iâd absolutely love toâŠâ He mumbled between kisses. âI think Clem might explode if one of her parents doesnât go make snow angelsâŠâ Another little string of kisses.
Then he looked down and blushed, a little embarrassed. âPlus, uh⊠I kinda lost my mojo, if you get meâŠ?â
His now flaccid length was safely nestled within his shorts.
Heâd been so close to completion â so close to finally reaching his climax for the first time in months â but there was no malice or bitterness held within his words. In fact, he followed with a gentle smile, his palm coming up to cup her cheek.
âAndâŠâ He offered, gently pushing hair back from her face to see her eyes. â⊠I kinda want the first time we do stuff to be special⊠be all romantic and make love. Donât care how long I have to wait, or how many interruptions.â
She smirked before taking his head into her mouth. He was too big for her to take all of him, but god, she almost wanted to try. Her hand slipped up to cup his balls, gently massaging them as her tongue lapped over him. Her free hand circled him again, stroking him gently and in time with her tongue.
