On a wing and a prayer

Betrayed

Willow slid her leg off of Daryl's bike as he parked it next to Jesse's car in front of a large brick building. Standing in front of it, staring up at the many floors, a panic hit her....she didn't want to go in. Feeling an arm slide around her shoulders, she turned and looked into Daryl's eyes.

"You alright?" He asked softly

She wasn't but didn't know how to tell him that. Staring up at the building again she felt his hand rub her back and then slide around her waist.

"C'mon...I got you, just lean on me" Daryl whispered

Willow let Daryl guide her through the doors but she could not stop shaking. What if she lost him? He was the only family she had left. Walking to a nurses station, Willow stared at the floor while Daryl asked them some questions and then talked quietly to Jesse. She really didn't understand what he was saying to any of them because of the constant buzz that was in her ears. Nodding his head, Daryl pulled her gently with him as he began walking down the long hallway. Stopping in front of a door, he looked at her and tried to pull her again but her feet were firmly planted.

"Willow?" He asked softly

Willow shook her head unable to look at him.

Feeling his arms wrap around her, she buried her face in his chest unable to control the sobs that shook her shoulders. As her tears lessened Daryl tilted her face to his, wiping away her tears, kissing each cheek then softly on the lips.

"C'mon...you can do this," he said quietly, grabbing her hand.

Willow let Daryl pull her into the room but still holding her breath. Seeing her grandfather laying there, she breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't look anywhere near as bad as she feared. Dropping Daryl's hand, Willow walked to his bed, pulling up a large cushioned chair. Grabbing her grandpa's hand, she spoke softly to him.

"Grandpa, it's Willow....I'm here now. Just rest, you're going to be OK"

Willow stared at the bandages that wrapped his head and the purple bruising around his eyes. Hearing the door open, Willow and Daryl both turned seeing a tall man with a clipboard.

"Hello" he smiled softly" are you Joe's family?" The man noticed their confused looks "I beg your pardon, Jesse told me his name. I'm doctor Mike"

Willow nodded

"I'm Willow, his granddaughter. This is Daryl"

"Her boyfriend" Daryl added while Willow stared at him.

"Good to meet you two" he smiled "let's see here, well...Joe vitals are good and he's stable but he hasn't woken up yet. I don' see any signs of the brain swelling, so now it's more of a waiting game to see when he wakes up. If you guys need a place to stay for the night-"

"I'm not going anywhere" Willow interrupted

"We'll be fine here," Daryl said softly

Dr. Mike nodded

"OK, but if he wakes, would one of you come get me?"

Daryl nodded as the doctor left the room shutting the door softly behind him. Walking over to Willow, he grabbed her hand pulling her up to her feet. Sitting down in the plush, oversized chair, he pulled Willow back down to sit on his lap. Laying her head on his chest, Daryl wrapped his arms around her as they both sat in silence staring at Willow's grandpa.

Daryl watched as the sun began to peak into the hospital window and stared down at the sleeping girl in his arms. Pushing her hair back gently from her face, he took his finger and traced it softly over her cheek and then over her soft full lips. He had never met anyone that could get under his skin so bad. He had about gone through the roof when she started talking about dancing on a stripper pole in front of those three idiots. He knew he had been wrong in flirting with Tonya in front of her but he was curious how she would react like if she would get angry or if she was truly done with him and moving on with Jesse. He just never expected her to turn the tables on him. He had never felt jealousy like that in his entire life. She had no idea how close he came to pulling out his gun and making them all leave. Deciding against that the only other thing he could think to do was shake some sense into her but when she started to give it right back to him he knew he was either going to hit her or kiss her and seeing how he never hit a woman a day in his life, he did the only thing he could do.

Still staring at her sleeping face, his mind drifted back to the kiss that he had felt deep in his soul.

"You sure you're going to be up for the challenge?" Daryl heard a soft voice say and looked at
Joe who was had obviously been watching him.

Daryl shook his head

"No....she drives me nuts and is a pain in my ass and gets under my skin in the worst way," he said softly, looking at her again.

"Most of the good ones do," Joe said softly "Lets you know you're alive"

Daryl grinned "Yeah...there is that. How are you feeling? Wait...Willow will kick my ass if I don't tell her you're awake."

Daryl shook Willow's shoulder softly

"Hey," he said "Wake up, he's awake"

Daryl watched as Willow's eyes blinked open

"Hmmm?" She said disoriented sitting up

Daryl smiled softly and pointed

Willow turned and softly gasped seeing her grandfather smiling at her

"Grandpa!" She said happily sitting on the side of the bed giving him a gentle hug.

Daryl stood up, squeezing her shoulder

"I'm going to go tell the doctor"

Willow nodded and reached for his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it back. Watching him walk out the door, she turned back to her grandfather.

"How are you feeling?" She asked still worried

Joe smiled at her concern

"I'm fine...a little sore and a bit of a headache but OK for someone who wrapped his truck around a tree. How about you? You OK?"

Willow smiled and nodded

"I'm good. Daryl and Harlin locked up the bar tight so you don't have to worry about that"

Joe smiled softly

"They're good guys, both of them"

Willow nodded her head agreeing with him, listening to her grandpa continue

"Be easy with him Willow, and have some patience. He hasn't had an easy life and whatever you two are starting, he's probably never had before. He's not going to know what to say or do some of the time. Try to keep that temper and mouth in check, will you?" He finished grinning.
Willow stared at him

"Has he been complaining to you already?" She teased

Willow's grandpa laughed as they both turned hearing the door open watching Daryl and the doctor walk in.

"Sounds like you're feeling better, good to see you awake" the doctor smiled, "Willow and Daryl, if you'll excuse us for a bit so I can examine him?"

"Daryl, why don't you two get some breakfast and some rest. Maybe later you can go look at my truck and see if there's any chance saving the old girl? I'm fine here...but could use a little more rest. You guys come back and see me this afternoon " Joe said softly.

Daryl nodded, grabbing Willow's hand, leading her out of the room after she kissed her grandpa's cheek goodbye.

Walking back down the hallway Daryl slid a glance at her.

"You hungry?" He asked

Willow nodded

"I am" she smiled

"I thought I saw a diner across the street, they probably have breakfast," he said quietly

"I hope they have big and greasy cheeseburgers," she said as Daryl laughed thinking she would never fail to surprise.

Willow sat back and patted her full belly filled with her cheeseburger she had been hoping for. Daryl stared at her with a smirk on his face and didn't even bother to look up when the waitress came back for the third time to ask him if he was positive there wasn't anything else he wanted. Willow rolled her eyes as the painted up hussy flirted with him and then glared at him as he chuckled at her annoyance.

"I swear Daryl, I can't take you anywhere without these bimbos falling all over themselves over you. It's seriously annoying" she grumbled.

Daryl leaned forward resting his chin in his hands still smirking at her until the waitress walked by again.

"Excuse me, Ma'am? Is there a place around here where we can get some rest? Maybe a motel or something?" He said still staring at Willow.

Willow watched as the waitress' face fell realizing her window of opportunity was closed.
Sighing she said "Yeah, there's a place out on Route 20, about a mile outside of town"

Daryl nodded and thanked her, sliding out of the booth.

"C'mon," he said grabbing her hand. "Jesse said the accident happened on that road. We'll stop and take a look on the way."

Willow grabbed his hand and slid out of the booth standing up than reaching into her bag placing two batteries on the table. Daryl looked at her curiously.

"Her tip?"

Willow smiled sweetly

"Yep, she’s going to need them for her vibrator, you know, since she can't have you," she said walking past him.

Daryl busted up laughing and grabbed her around the waist kissing her neck. Willow felt a slight shock as she felt him slide his hand over her backside. She couldn't help but grin because first of all she liked it but also because the waitress was watching the entire time.

Willow stood back and watched Daryl check this and that on the truck and was so torn with her feelings. On one hand seeing the wrecked truck had made her stomach feel so queasy and still couldn't believe her grandfather had come away with just a bump on the head and a couple of black eyes....on the other hand, there was just something about watching Daryl work on the truck that really got her motor running. Wiping his hands on the red rag he always keeps in his back pocket we walked over to her and smiled

"I think he's going to be happy. She's going to need a tow, but if I can get her back to the bar I'll be able to run for parts and bang out the front end. The blue beast shall ride again" he winked.

Willow and Daryl climbed on the bike and Willow couldn't help feeling a bit nervous knowing where they were headed to next. Willow watched Daryl point to a long building recognizing it as the motel. Pulling the bike up, Willow stayed outside while Daryl went in and talked to the person in the office. Coming out, dangling a key, she followed him to a room where he unlocked the door. Walking inside they both looked around and were pleasantly surprised. It was nice. Not the four seasons or anything but it was clean and fresh linens look to be on the bed. Willow stared at Daryl as he turned to her.

"I'm still covered in grease, I'm going to take a shower real quick. Be right back" he said softly.
Willow nodded and sat down on the bed watching Daryl go into the bathroom.

Now, what?

She was so nervous she couldn't believe it. Should she just take her clothes off and go in there with him? What if he didn't want her to? Deciding against going in the bathroom, Willow slipped her jeans off and slid between the covers on the bed. OK her dressed like this seemed innocent enough, not like she was sprawled out on the bed naked and waiting for him. Looking down at her t-shirt , she slipped it over her head, laying there in her tank top and panties. It was what she usually slept in anyway so really he couldn't accuse her of trying to seduce him or anything.
Willow's heart skipped a beat as the bathroom door opened and her chin dropped as Daryl walked out in nothing but a small towel wrapped around his slim waist. She could feel her face flush but she couldn't look away. Watching the water still drip from his shaggy hair and run down his muscular chest, it was all she could do not to throw herself at him.

"Sorry," he said softly "forgot my clean clothes" as he reached into his bag pulling out a pair of jeans and boxer shorts.

Willow nodded and played with the trim on the blanket. Daryl looked at her and saw that she had taken off her shirt and jeans and was lying under the covers with nothing but a thin layer of material. He could almost see through the little tank top she had on. He didn't know what to do. If he just put his shorts on and got under the covers with her then it would be over, he wouldn't be able to stop and he wasn't sure she was ready for this to happen. Walking back into the bathroom he slipped his shorts and jeans on, drying his hair a little more.

Willow watched him walk out and couldn't help being majorly disappointed seeing his jeans on. Her disappointment grew watching him lay down on the bed on top of the covers. What the hell was his problem? Here she is half naked lying in bed and he couldn't care less. Reaching over and grabbing her T-shirt, she pulled it back over her head and flopped back on the pillows in a huff while Daryl watched.

"What's wrong?" He asked quietly

Willow stared at the ceiling wanting to say that he was sexually frustrating the hell out of her but instead she muttered

"I'm cold....besides, I don't think it's right one of us is half naked in the bed while the other one is dressed." She said turning on her side.

Daryl stared at her back and was so completely confused. Somehow he had done something wrong in between his shower and walking to the bed. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks. She had been waiting for him. Rolling off the bed and unzipping his jeans, he dropped them to the floor, kicking them off. Lifting the covers he had to stop himself from groaning as he got a perfect view of her amazing rear in pink lace panties. Sliding under the covers next to her slipping his arm around her waist, he whispered in her ear

"C'mere....let me warm you up"

Willow turned back over as he kissed her softly. Sliding her arms around his neck she sighed blissfully. Finally! She thought. Feeling his hand slide under her T-shirt, he stopped and looked at her then pulled it back over her head throwing it on the ground. Willow's desire grew as she watched Daryl lift her tank top and plant kisses on her belly. Moving his lips to her neck as his fingers trailed up her stomach to caress her aching breasts over her tank top. He kissed her slowly as she pulled at his shoulders, wanting his hips between her thighs but he wasn't budging. Willow was enjoying everything he was doing but she needed more and he was holding back....why?

Cupping his face with her hands she gently pushed his mouth away from her own, staring into his eyes.

"Daryl?"she whispered

Daryl took a ragged breath

"Do you want me to stop?" He whispered

Willow was confused....she had tried to show him she was ready. She listened as he continued

"Willow, we can go as slow as you want...we can take things slow and I can wait if you need me to"

Then it hit her....he was trying to be a gentleman. The thoughtfulness touched her heart as she smiled at him.

"Daryl....I'm ready, now. It's OK, honestly...I really want you"

Daryl looked somewhat unconvinced.

"Do you want me to beg?" She whispered wrapping her arm around his neck pulling his ear near her mouth whispering "Daryl please...."

Sliding her other hand inside his shorts, stroking his thick and hardened shaft she whispered again

"Daryl....please..."

Daryl devoured her mouth hooking his thumbs on each side of her panties he yanked them off in one smooth motion. Pushing her tank top up and then over her head, his hungry mouth licked and teased each hardened nipple as she slid her hands down over his back and over his rear, pulling his shorts down. Watching him kick them off her hunger grew as she looked at his large rod and how hard it was for her. His mouth was on hers again, kissing her urgently as his hand slid down between her thighs. She gasped softly as he slid his finger inside her, gently rubbing her throbbing bloom of passion.

"Daryl," she moaned "please"

Willow felt him move between her thighs and gasped again as he completely filled her with his manhood. He was larger than what she had first thought and felt amazing. His strokes were slow and steady as her body became comfortable with his girth. She could feel him touch her somewhere deep inside a place where nobody before had touched her. She hadn't had many lovers and certainly none like him.

Feeling her need grow, she met his thrust with her hips. Feeling waves of passion crash over her body, he went even deeper as she cried out needing her sweet release. As his strokes became faster she met his passion with her own and finally felt her body explode in the sweet bliss of his lovemaking. Feeling him reach his own climax, they lay there breathless completely wrapped up in each other. Raising his head to look at her, she kissed him softly and smiled.

"If I would have known that was how it was going to be, I would have never stopped you in the first place" she grinned hearing his chuckle deep in his chest as he kissed her again with his body still buried inside her.

"I deserved to be told no that night, I was acting like an ass" he whispered in her ear, kissing her neck.

"True, but you always act like an ass...I just didn't realize it would be worth putting up with for this" she giggled

Daryl shook his head but smiled at her.

"You drive me nuts, you know that?" He whispered kissing her slow and deep. “And just so we’re clear, you never have to beg…ever. Although I’m not going to lie, that was a little bit of a turn on hearing you say “please Daryl please” he grinned imitating her voice.

"Stop it" she laughed while smacking his shoulder.

Willow was quiet again and wasn’t sure if she should ask but her curiosity was killing her.

“Daryl….why did you tell the doctor you were my boyfriend?” she asked quietly

Daryl looked at her giving her a half smile

“That’s why I said “Damn you” at the bar. I knew right then you had hooked me and I couldn’t fight it anymore. I don’t know how good of a one I’ll be, I’ve never done this sort of thing, but I’m willing to try” he said softly

Willow ran her fingers through his hair looking into his beautiful blue eyes.

“Just be you, Daryl, that’s the only thing I want. Everything else will just fall into place.” She whispered kissing him softly.

Laying there enjoying each other she knew they needed to get up and back to the hospital but she really didn't have the heart to move from this bed.

Daryl drug his lips away from hers and looked at her

"We should probably head back to the hospital," he said quietly

Willow nodded

"I was just thinking that, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to leave this bed" she smiled
Daryl grinned

"You and me both...but the sooner we get there, the sooner we can come back and do this all over again," he said kissing her softly again.

Willow pushed at his chest playfully laughing

"Then we need to get going, now!"

The two begrudgingly left the bed still touching and kissing while they dressed. Sliding on his bike, she wrapped her arms around him tightly as he took off like a rocket towards the hospital. He really was in a hurry to get back she smiled.

Daryl and Willow slid off the bike, walking to up to the brick building. Willow watched as Daryl grabbed her hand and smirked

“This is like what a boyfriend would do, right?”

Willow rolled her eyes as he laughed. She believed his plan was to annoy her with the whole boyfriend thing so much that she would eventually just give up on it completely. Walking into the building still laughing, Willow was startled seeing Jesse. She couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt, seeing him while holding Daryl’s hand but the feeling was not strong enough for her to stop holding it.

“Hey Jesse” she smiled warmly at him as he looked at her and Daryl’s hands.

“Hey,” he said softly

“Hey Jesse, would you know anyone around here that would have a tow truck by any chance?” Daryl asked him.

Jesse nodded

“There’s a repair shop right across the street and the guy that runs it has one.” He said quietly
Daryl nodded

“Thanks,” Daryl said “I’m going to run over there for a minute, I’ll be right back” he continued, leaning down giving Willow a quick kiss.

Willow watched him walk back out the door and turned to Jesse feeling a bit awkward.

“So, you and him,” Jesse asked.

Willow smiled weakly and nodded

“Do you love him?”

Willow stared at him stunned and taken aback by his question, not sure how to respond.

“Well do you?” Jesse pushed

Willow could feel her anger begin to bubble up.

“Jesse…I don’t think that’s any of your business, but truthfully everything happening between Daryl and I is pretty new for both of us, so it’s not really something we’re worried about at this point.”

Jesse stared at her.

“So you’re saying I still have a shot…”

Willow stared at him, unable to speak as Jesse continued.

“He’s going to hurt you, Willow. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but eventually he will. I would never do that to you. When things come crashing down with him, just remember you’ll always have me.”

Willow’s jaw dropped as she watched Jesse walk away and out through the doors. She couldn’t believe he had just said all of that and more importantly that he felt that way about her. She had known him since she was a kid, but that was a long time ago and they were basically strangers again after not seeing each other for so many years.

Willow stood there thinking as worry creased her brow.

“What’s that look for?” Daryl said, walking up to her

Willow smiled, shaking off the worry. She knew she didn’t dare tell him, he’d go ballistic and Jesse would probably not live to see tomorrow.

“Just thinking about everything we’ll need to do back at the bar” she lied.

Daryl looked at her curious but let it go.

“I got a tow truck lined up for whenever he gets released. Let’s go tell him the good news”

Willow smiled and nodded, glad he hadn’t pushed any further.

Walking into her grandfather’s room, Willow smiled and walked quickly to his bed, giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

“You look even better” she smiled.

Joe smiled back at her

“I feel better too. Doc says I can go home tomorrow. Daryl, you get a chance to look at my truck yet?”

Daryl nodded

“Yeah, I think she can be saved. I just talked to a guy who has a tow truck and he said for me to let him know when you’re ready to go home and he’ll tow it back to the bar for us. He said you can ride in the truck with him on the way back and Willow and I can take the bike.”

Joe nodded and smiled in relief. The three sat and talked well into the evening until Joe began to tire. Flying back to the motel, Daryl and Willow were barely into the room as they began tearing each other’s clothes off. Renewing their passion continually through the night, they both woke the next morning tired, sore but happy. Making their way back to the hospital Willow had to grin seeing her grandfather griping about being in a wheelchair being pushed to the door. Willow’s smile faltered a little as she saw Jesse staring at her and couldn’t help remember what he had said.

Finally back at the bar, Willow and Daryl got her grandfather comfortable in the living room of the trailer, going back to the bar to clean. Willow swept and mopped while Daryl rounded up the trash, taking it out front. The bar had been left in quite a disarray since their hasty departure but after a few hours, they were able to get it back into proper order.

Standing at the bar slicing lemons, Willow began thinking about how busy they would probably be tonight since the bar had been shut down for a couple of days. But her thoughts were quickly replaced by a smile feeling Daryl slide his hands around her waist from behind.

“Hey” he whispered in her ear

“Hmm?” she responded still slicing the lemons

“Let’s take a break,” he said kissing her neck

“Take a break where? I’ve been thinking about this Daryl, we’re going to have to think of someplace to go, it’s not like we can, you know…in the trailer.”

Daryl thought a minute

“I’ve been working on fixing up my dad’s old place. It’s not done yet but this should give me the motivation to get it done as soon as possible. But for now, how about we try out that old table in the back like we were going to do the other night?” he said sliding his hand over her rear.

“What about my grandpa? You think he might walk in on us?” she worried

“No, I just checked on him and he’s sound asleep. C’mon…you can’t expect me to work all night in this condition” he said pressing his hardness against her backside.

Willow laughed and pushed him away and ran to the back room as Daryl chased her. Kicking the door closed, he advanced in on her, picking her up and setting her on the table. Pushing her legs apart, he pulled her against him and kissed her desperately, burying his hands in her hair.
Lost in the moment neither one heard the door as it opened quietly.

“Well, well, well. What do we have here?” said a familiar voice “I didn’t think you had it in you to betray me for a pair of boobs little brother.”

Daryl stopped kissing her and stood as still as a statue as Merle continued

“Here, let me have a look….mmmmm not bad. I sure hope you plan on sharing little brother”
