5 Chapter 5: Return

"Hey, baby I missed you" Nate says as I land in his arms. As soon as the last syllable escapes his lips, we find ourselves interlocked in a kiss. The tender touch we share makes it seem as though everyone has disappeared. There isn't anything else in the world except the burning flame of our love. Something about this feeling makes me feel like everything will be okay.

I pull my body away from his, looking him up and down. "You didn't get hurt did you?"

"No, Carmen, told you there was nothing to worry about" he cups my face in his hands. "Negan said I don't have to go on the next run" I instantly feel overtaken by excitement. I want to jump, to shout, to tell everyone about the great news. I can't even wait to express my happiness. I run over to Negan, who is talking to Simon by his truck, and practically push my way in front of him, hugging him like a child hugs their father "thank you, so much".

"Long time no see sweetheart"

Simon looks at me annoyed and rolls his eyes. "Thanks for letting Nate have a break" he smirks — just a small pouting of his lips; a narrowing of the eyes and a tilting of the head. "He's become one of my best guys. I like to reward those who do right." I smile back at him and nod. "I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am... anyways. I'll see you later, I know your busy" I walk away and I can feel his eyes on me, but I don't care, Nate is the only man I care about.

I approach Nate, standing by the entrance waiting to take me up to our room. "I've been dying to feel this body" he grabs me at the waist leading me inside.

I breathe deep in and out within a split-second it feels like he never left. Time is forgotten. The side of his thighs are pressed against mine. He's sure of himself, he thinks he is in control. I surrender completely. I have wanted this so long now, I crave his human flesh, his tongue tastes my breath. We are both caught up in the moment, it's like we never left each other. He reaches for my breasts and pulls me up, we twist and turn and its starts all over again like a cycle. The immense magnetic field between us is strong.

"You want me to go deeper babe?" he breathes into my ear as he keeps steady motion on top of me. I nod my head, the sensational making it hard to speak. A devilish smile creeps on his face, and his hips speed up completely changing the rhyme. Our moans become louder, and our bodies sweatier as friction between us increases. Nate is a passionate lover, it's more important to him that it last longer rather than rushing to climax. The headboard bangs against the wall, I'm sure whoever is on the other side is either annoyed or extremely turned on.

My hair flows into my face as he continues to push into me fast and hard. Nate doesn't stop but still takes the time to move the stands from my vision. I can see the hunger in his eyes now more than ever. His baby blues becoming glazed over, looking into mines. "You're so beautiful you know that?"

"Mm-hmm but I want you to show me how beautiful you think I am" he chuckles, "you better be ready then, angel-face" he lifts my legs on to his shoulders pounding into me even harder. I feel my body starting to clench, I know I'm not going to last long. My arms wrap around his neck pulling his lips to mine. We both moan into each others mouth. "Cum for me baby" he whispers further encouraging me. My breath shortens, and my body begins to release. I whimper intensely "keep going, keep fuckin-", mid-sentence I burst. The warm creamy fluids flowing down my thighs, there's twice as much as there should be, telling me that Nate had finished with me.

He rolls off of me, leaving my naked body chilled by the sudden breeze. We stay silent as our breathing returns to normal. I pull the covers over myself and turn on my side to face him, "So, tell me, what did the saviors do this week?"

"nothin' much, checked on a couple of outpost." he says lying on his back, his muscles sparkling with sweat. "Meet anyone interesting?"

"Garbage people"

My eyebrow furrow,"garbage people?"

"They're literally living in a pile of trash and other random shit" a small laugh comes from me, "if that's the best that's out there. I'm glad that Negan found us" his response is delayed, I notice his face become droopy, and his eyes dull. "You don't miss our old group sometimes?"

"Of course I do, but you know that we can't go back" after living in the sanctuary, I've realized how terrible our last group was. We had to struggle for food and barely had shelter. Negan wouldn't even bother having dealings with them, if he had run across them.

I decide to change the subject, there's no need to bring the mood down with talk of the past. "Ya hungry?"

"Sure, but we need to get cleaned up first" we both smile at each other, thinking the same thing, round two in the shower?

Nate brings the fresh, warm bread to my nose, telling me to embrace the scent. It smells rich, promising a delightful taste. Picking up a knife, he applies huge amounts of thick, creamy yellow butter. Then spoons out a dollop of sweet, tangy blackberry jelly and slathers the sweet mixture onto the slices of spongy white bread. We begin to eat, sitting by ourselves in the dining hall until Negan struts in the room causing everyone to abruptly stop and drop to their knees. My heart beats through my chest as he approaches us, Negan is usually nice to me, but I know not to get too comfortable.

He stares silently then speaks "I need to speak with you two, in my office"
