"Can I kiss you?" (from Carol)
It had been happening since the Prison. The way Carol looked at him. And despite all that had happened, all he had done to her, she still gave him his world back by saving the group, his daughter, and still kept looking at him that way. She owned him nothing...yet...she was always there for him, when he needed that most. He hadn't been ready to start a new relationship for a long time, but every time he saw Carol, every time she teased him, every time she peeked him- it always made him remember how it was like being loved, being touched- it made him crave it once again. It was like Carol knew all of him- his good side, his insecure side, his evil, bad, manipulative side... And she seemed to accept him whole, he could be himself around her- he didn't have to pretend. Rick had been storing all that inside, insecure to open up, insecure to start a relationship, he kept the emotions, the feelings he had for her- all boiling inside his chest. She had become his right arm in strategy, in planning, in leadership- she made him feel safe, stronger, smarter. And the way she looked after Judith...it made his heart melt.
It had been a busy day- the sun was setting- and he was showering, blissful warm water he had thought he would never be able to enjoy again, fresh soap, comfortable towels. Things in Alexandria were finally getting in place, as they should- he was glad- he could relax when work was done, finally he had been sleeping, he had been having more time to rest at night. Rick was leaving the bathroom, drying himself, when he saw her. Carol. She was there, standing- he hadn't even heard her come, but wasn't she always like that?
"Can I kiss you?" Carol asked him. It was the final drop he needed to let it all overflow. Rick, wiped his wet hair with the towel one last time, leaving it on the bed- he walked to her, approached so much- silver blue eyes studying her face, the man hadn't said one word to answer her question, he didn't have to, his glance had already answered- he gave her cheek a soft caress, then kissed it, his messy wet hair brushing against her face, his lips were so warm, that loving kiss longed...his hand caressed the back of her head so gently, where her hair used to be pulled, where before it would hurt, he gave only comfort, offered all of his love. Then he kissed her forehead, so close to her eye, hands moving to hold and caress her temples gently. Then his eyes met hers again- he knew what she had been wanting...and now he also did, he felt ready, he felt lust and such a strong bond with her- he felt he couldn't go back. Gently he took one of her hands, guiding it to his chest, brushing it over his nipple, his clean soft skin- she could touch him....he wanted to let her know- he should touch him... Rick pressed her lips against hers, finally, such a calm, warm kiss, despite all the passion he help inside- he was sweet...and he wasn't afraid to show her that nature of his- the nature he always would hide from the enemies. He then slowly took her other hand to his crotch, closing her fingers around his balls, getting closer to her, intensifying the kiss- his skin was all exposed, feeling cold- and she was so warm...he wanted her warmth..her touch...her love. His hands finally moved to her face and neck, holding her jawline lovingly as he deepened the kiss, gently biting her lower lip, teasing Carol to kiss him back, his lips so comfortable pressing hers, his tongue warmly caressing hers in slow movements, his eyes closed, melting.
