Tumblr Friends, I've been offline for the past couple of days on account of having lost power due to the catastrophic fires in Los Angeles. I'm located pretty close, maybe 3 or 4 miles, from one of the major fires, the Altadena/Eaton fire. I've received a warning to be prepared in case an evacuation order is issued but thus far, I've been in luck and none has. I lost power on Tuesday, around 6 in the evening and only just got it back. All is well with me, and many thanks to those of you who messaged me, wondering if everything was OK.
The situation for many Southern Californians is beyond horrific. Thousands of buildings, the vast majority of them homes, have been destroyed. Historical sites have been lost. Huge swaths of natural areas have been leveled. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated and many thousands are now without homes. The air is so bad, so filled with smoke and ash, that just inhaling is like smoking an unfiltered Marlboro. Things are only going to get worse before they get better. The Santa Ana winds, which had gusts of up to 100 mph on Tuesday, have died down today, giving firefighters a chance to at least make small progress in containing the blazes, but the winds are supposed to be back tomorrow and humidity will be dropping to single digits, making the chance of more hell likely, if not a certainty. The apocalypse isn't over yet.
This photo is a shot I took with my phone through my bedroom window of yesterday's sunrise. The sun was blood red through all of the smoke. Kind of appropriate.
Thanks again for your concern

im gonna be real with you here as a late-to-the-game smoker i dont understand what the big deal is with marlboro reds. they smell nice in the package but compared to the illegal indonesian shit ive been smoking they taste like nothing. they actually taste like nothing even compared to non-menthol newports. im guessing this is just long tail brand addiction leftover from before american cigarettes almost uniformly sucked ass, and not actual facts and logic-based preferences. good package design gets you a long way (although every single cigarette brand incorrectly apostrophizes plural numbers which makes me insane . its not "100's" its just "100s". i dont know why they do that, i guess just to avoid upsetting the brand addicts)

Tumblr media
“That fuckin’ gorilla smashed my damn reds.”,Pete whines, slightly slurring his words and swaying a bit while looking down at the ruined and smashed pack of Marlboro 100s. A grin is spread on your face flushed red from all the alcohol, your own senses feel dulled and for a moment you can’t really hear Pete’s bitching and whining. All you can hear is the rushing of your blood and the sound of the whistling winds, the air smelling of rain from the wet sidewalks and road. When Pete roughly shoves you, you inhale sharply and stumble. Thankfully you catch yourself before you can hit the asphalt. “Y’know it’s your fuckin’ fault we got caught.”,he scoffs but there’s a humor in his dark eyes beneath that bushy unibrow.
As he tosses the ruined pack aside, you reach into your front pocket and laugh loudly with a shake of your head. “How the fuck was I supposed to know that bitch behind the bar used to babysit me?”,you grin while tucking out a pack of Marlboro Golds. When you open the pack and find two cigarettes, you turn to Pete and wiggle the pack in his face. “I’m sorry?”,you attempt, Pete is a bit blurry in crossing vision you’re unable to keep too steady.
Immediately, he snatches it from you. “Oh fuck yes. You’re forgiven.”,he snorts, tugging one out with his chapped lips before tossing you the pack you catch swiftly. Deciding you might as well, you toss the empty pack aside once one cigarette is between your lips. “You’re still an asshole. I coulda totally gotten into that broads skirt if you hadn’t gotten us kicked out.”,Pete complains. You give him a pointed look immediately when he pulls out his silver lighter he stole from his dad. “What?”,he asks around the cigarette between his lips.
Your eyebrows furrow and you blink with a tilt of your head while you both begin to walk beneath the tall trees of the park you’re cutting through. “That…hooker with the road rash on her arms and a c-section scar popping out of her tube top?”,you remark in disbelief and a bit of disgust in Pete’s taste. Pete scoffs, reaching out and lighting your cigarette before he waves a dismissive hand while pocketing the lighter. “Yeah, no, shit I should kiss your shoes for making you miss a gem like that.”,you remark sarcastically, taking a long drag of the cigarette while dewy grass wets your soles.
“Alright first of all.”,Pete begins, pulling the cigarette from between his lips and bumping your shoulder for the tenth time as you two walk down a hill. He looks at you with dark eyes and waves a hand. “I like ‘em older.” You snort, she must’ve been forty. Pete continues after licking his chapped lips, fixing his red snapback that doesn’t need fixing. “Second of all, who gives a fuck about the rest of her? Did you see her tits? I swear to the Virgin Herself one of ‘em was the size ‘a my fuckin’ head!” Pete laughs after he exclaims, smacking the back of your shoulder roughly.
Laughing along with him, you shake your head and blow out some cancerous smoke after another drag. “God, Pete. A dog could have a good pair on her and you’d probably get a fucking hard on.” You elbow his side roughly. Pete winces but he chuckles and shakes his head while taking a long puff of the cigarette between his fingers. His thumb rubs between his unibrow and he scoffs.
“You ain’t gonna get it, man. Can’t tell a fag how great tits are.”,he retorts with a raise of his unibrow at you.
Shoving his face hard, some ash getting on his hoodie and his sneakers stumbling, you scoff. “I have fucking eyes, Pete. She was hideous. Even if I was straight, no amount of tits could make me wanna fuck that cow.”,you grin, words harsh yet amused with Pete who manages to stumble back close to you. He shakes his head as he tosses aside his cigarette, you make a note to rip him a new one for tossing half of a cigarette away.
But he shifts your attention with a genuinely curious and confused expression on his acne-dotted face. “I just – don’t get it. I mean sure some guys are just good lookin’ but…how the fuck can you wanna fuck one? Women are right there.”,Pete snorts.
The new topic of conversation makes you burst out laughing. It’s too often Pete wants to talk about you being gay, always curious about what goes where and how it all goes down but he’s never really given a shit about the how of your own sexual attraction. While you know he’s probably gonna be a hard-headed idiot, you decide to humor your best friend with a shrug. “Same reasons you wanna fuck women. Men are hot.”,you say as if simply stating the sky is blue.
Pete frowns deeply, he looks a bit like a monkey when he gets that stupid face of confusion. “That shit doesn’t make no sense.”,exhales Pete and you roll your eyes,”Dudes are all hairy and shit. I mean a cock touching you while you–” Pete shudders then he smacks your arm. “I mean you’ve never fucked ‘a chick. How can you know you don’t like pussy?” Amusement washes through your brain made heavy and foggy by the alcohol.
Stopping your steps, you turn to Pete and you tilt your head. “You haven’t fucked a guy how can you know you don’t like cock?”,you asked bluntly, grinning at him as you took one final drag of your cigarette before you tossed it. Pete looked at you with a surprised expression, turning to you as your hands tucked into the pockets of your hoodie as a cold wind gusted by. For a moment, you can see the flush in his cheeks that seems to darken over the red hue of the alcohol. Then you laugh and shove his shoulder. “Exactly, dickhead. It’s just about what you like. Sometimes you just know.”
Dark eyes flicker away as he laughs a bit and takes off his hat to run his hand over his dark hair flattened by the cap. “Well I mean…have you ever done anything with ‘a dude?”,he asks. Your eyebrows raise in surprise and your eyes flicker along his face. He’s never asked that. Again, he’s asked you broad questions, none ever about you. And you feel a bit awkward and warmer, you drag a hand down your features and shrug while contemplating honesty or not.
“Well, yeah. They’re always the closeted fags so don’t ask who.”,you reply with a roll of your eyes.
“So you’ve kissed a guy?”,asks Pete. You blink and your mouth opens but it shuts, did he step closer?
You nod slowly, your hands tensing and relaxing in your pockets when your palms tingle. “Yeah.” The word leaves your lips a bit breathier than you meant it to, some white fog gathering around your mouth when warm breath meets the cold air. Then you shake your head while you suddenly notice that Pete’s…pretty attractive. Short sure but he’s nice to look at in the face. Lips reddened by his constant peeling of the skin there. Your jaw tenses and the air feels cold but tense, heavier than it was before. “You wanna try it?”,the words leave your mouth before you can stop them.
Fortunately, you can’t even consider taking the words back before Pete grabs your face. You make a soft ‘mmf’ noise against his mouth with wide eyes. Be it the alcohol or atmosphere, you melt into it easily. Leaning in and holding his face with more confidence and sureness than he holds your face. Pete makes a soft groaning noise against your mouth when his mouth opens soon to accept your tongue.
You groan against his mouth, pressing your hips against him and dropping your hands to grip the fabric of his hoodie at his waist.
Pete’s tongue is eager along your own, his hand gripping the back of your head to bring you in as if he wants to eat your tongue. It makes your body buzz, you feel hot as your jeans get more uncomfortable.
When you pull away, your mouth only stays off of him for a second before you start to kiss down his neck. “Oh fuck…”,he grunts when your teeth scrape his adam’s apple before lowering down more. His hand cupping your face uses his thumb to push your face back so his mouth can catch yours again. Making out again, hot and heady in the cold air where white fog gathers between your mouths in wet and slightly sloppy, drunken kisses. When Pete's teeth catch your bottom lip you moan against his mouth when your lip snaps back into place.
It isn't until you feel his boner that you finally pull away from him with some spark of sobriety. Stumbling back and panting raggedly while looking at him with half-lidded eyes, Pete breathes the same while looking at you with dark eyes looking from you, to your jeans to his own. Then he blinks and he puts his hand over his mouth. His unibrow furrows and he shakes his head, swearing beneath his hand before he rushes off with stumbling steps. You want to go after him, but you can’t do anything with all the blood rushing low between your legs.
Still, you can think clearly enough to smack a hand over your mouth and shake your head.
“Shit.”

Bones - Part 11 [Mack x David]
Tumblr media
A/N: First and foremost, please read the warnings below. This chapter is heavy. It is also one of my favorite chapters written in this series. Not because of the things that have happened, but because we learn so much more about David and his upbringing. How despite all of that, he is who he is now. It's an incredible tip of the cap to his character. I also am in love with the courage and strength shown by Mack in this chapter. Would love to hear your thoughts on this one, if you're willing to share 😘
Word Count: 7.2k
Warnings: scenes of violence, mentions of abuse, guns, death, grieving, drug use, trauma discussions.
(David)
The first time David can remember getting smacked by his older brother, Tommy, was at their hometown grocery store.
David was 5 and had gone into town with his dad and brothers to drop his mom off at bingo. His dad didn’t know how to cook, so on nights his mom went to bingo, they stopped at the grocery store and split buckets of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and coleslaw. His dad would even let David have a full can of Coke.
On this particular day, David has been salivating over the bucket of Dum Dums from the Customer Service counter. His dad was buying cigarettes- Marlboro Reds as always. David had gone on his tip toes when the clerk reached for the white bucket. He made the mistake of reaching into the bucket first and Tommy, the second oldest had smacked David upside the head so hard his ears started ringing. 
“Wait your turn, Turd!” A 13 year old Tommy had barked. His dad had watched the whole exchange and tiredly told Tommy to knock it off. When David got home, he cried in his mom’s arms about it. He shouldn’t have. The next day Tommy gave David a black eye for snitching and knocked the wind out of him with a kick to the stomach. David learned to keep those things to himself after that. 
He generally avoided Tommy growing up those next few years. It got easier when Tommy ran off with some of his buddies to the South, convinced they could get rich on fixing up old cars and hanging around NASCAR tracks. Instead, all Tommy found was drugs.
David will never forget the first time Tommy showed to the farm high on meth. He hadn’t looked right, swerving up the driveway in his beater. David had been by the barn, bottle feeding a new calf, when his mom had called his dad back from the field. Their daddy cocked that shotgun and Tommy was off. The following afternoon, Tommy was waiting outside David’s high school hockey practice. He grabbed David and threw him against the arena wall, demanding his wallet. David had $100 in there. Tommy stole it then knocked a right hook into David’s cheek. When he got home, he told his mom he got punched at practice. She almost made him quit hockey after that.
Coach had to talk her out of it. 
For the next few months, off and on, Tommy waited outside of practice for David. Sometimes he was high. Sometimes he wasn’t. David preferred when he was. When he was sober, he would cry and hug David. Lie to him that he needed this money to get back onto his feet. Then the next time David saw him he would be high, itchy and shakey- wild eyes that threatened at every movement David made. Until one day David came out of practice to see Tommy being led away with handcuffs.
“How could you do this to me!?” He had screamed. “You’re supposed to be my brother!!!!”
David wasn’t the one who called the police. Although it was never admitted to, he suspected it was his coach. 
That same hockey rink still sits across the street from where him and Mack are walking into the grocery store now. The inside of the store has changed a lot since David was 5- more modern and clean, but the memory still lingers at that customer service counter. 
“Okay, so what are we getting?” Mack asks him. David clears his throat, pulling himself out of the past and into the present with his beautiful wife. 
“Burgers and pasta salad and some potatoes. Maybe ice cream for dessert?”
“Mmm I’m so excited for this meal. Okay, do you want veggies for your burger? Like tomatoes, onions, lettuce?” 
“Yeah. You head over there. I’ll grab a cart.” He kisses her temple then they veer off in different directions. David looks out towards the parking lot seeing a familiar, beat up Ram truck. Rust has eaten away at the wheel wells, leaving the body of the truck edgy and rough. David pauses with a hand on a cart. 
It’s probably not the one he is thinking of. Last he heard Tommy hadn’t been in town since March. At least that’s the last time he was on the farm trying to push Felix around. The only thing that made him go away was Felix and his shot gun. Some things never change with Tommy.
David and Mack arrived back into town yesterday after a few weeks in Switzerland. They fell into bed, exhausted from the time change, but with no food in the house, they had to fight their jet lag and head to the store for an early dinner. David wheels the cart with one hand, seeing Mack over by the tomatoes. As he is walking, he glances up, looking towards the familiar customer service counter. There, he does a double take. 
“Fuck.” David mutters, holding his breath. He glances back to Mack. She holds a tomato up, inspecting it every which way before plopping it into a produce bag. She ties the bag off then heads towards the onions.
Internally, David struggles. Mack has not had to interact with his brothers in any of her prior visits to Iowa and he wants to keep that streak going. Knowing Tommy, he’s here for cigarettes and not groceries. So his time in the store should be short lived. David wheels the cart close to Mack, bringing her into his chest to keep his body between her and where he last saw Tommy.
“Have you ever grown onions?” Mack asks him, putting a white one into a bag then dropping the two bags into their cart.
“I’ve grown green onions.”
“We should try next year. I feel like we should come here first and get a garden going next year, then go to Switzerland.”
“You don’t trust Felix to do it?”
“Babe, he can’t do everything for the farm and grow our personal garden.” Mack chuckles. “Give the guy a break. And a raise.”
“He hates breaks.” David reasons. “What’s next?”
“Lettuce.” She cheers, going to the back aisle of the produce section. She filters through the different options with her typical measured calculations, then points to the butter lettuce. “That okay?”
“Mhm.” David doesn’t give a crap what lettuce they have. He’s going to eat it begrudgingly anyway.
His eyes lift over his shoulder, scanning the customer service counter. He breathes a sigh of relief when he realizes Tommy is gone. Good. He wraps an arm around Mack’s back, pulling her into his body and giving her a sweet, soft smooch. She awakens in his arms and when they pull away, her look can’t be mistaken.
She wants him to bend her over when they get home. He hopes she will get handsy with him on the way home too. He can see her now, tucking her hair into the collar of her t-shirt so she can take his di-
“Wow, look who decided to come home from the big city finally.” David’s shoulders tighten when he hears Tommy’s smug voice call from behind them. David puts his hands on Mack’s hip, steering her into the cart so she’s locked in by his body.
Her fierce brown gaze squints ever so slightly. God, he loves her fiery attitude.
“Aren’t you gonna introduce me to your pretty girl, little brother?”
Ice runs through David’s veins, then a white hot rush of anger. Before he can think better of it, he’s mouthing off.
“Fuck off.”
“Oooo whoa. Is that any way to treat family?” David laughs without humor.
“Don’t fucking lecture me about how to treat family. Look in the mirror.” 
Tommy walks to the end of the cart, keeping David from creeping forward. He puts his hands on the end of the coated metal, peering in at their limited groceries.
“This is why you’re so scronnie. What you eating vegetables only now?”
It’s laughable that David could ever be considered slim or thin or weak. David rubs at the pounding thud in the middle of his forehead, then backs the cart out of Tommy’s grasp. He lets Mack slide out from his arms. She stands at David’s side, gaze watchful and guarded.
“Tommy.” He extends his hand to her. 
“Mack.” She responds, but doesn’t take his hand.
“Polite.” Tommy grumbles them brings his piercing blue eyes back to his brother. David resists the urge to shove the cart forward and knock Tommy on his back. He has to keep his cool. He can’t go flying off the handle whenever he is around. That just eggs Tommy on.
“Heard you’re married. Guess my invite got lost in the mail. But of course Felix was there. It’s so fucking disgusting that you treat Felix like he was part of our family. He wasn’t. He is a bitch boy and you better not be giving him any profits on our-"
Staying calm is no longer an option.
“Shut the fuck up!” David yells. Mack steps back, visibly surprised at the tone of David’s voice. Other people look. The whole store seems to go quiet. David rounds the cart, pressing Mack back behind him so there is distance between them and her. Then he gets right in Tommy’s face, careful not to touch him. This asshole would be one to claim assault and try to sue David for his next round of drug money.
“Leave us alone, Tommy. And I’m not just talking about today. Leave us alone for good. We are here for the summer minding our own damn business. You better do the same.”
“Oooooo.” Tommy jokingly feigns being afraid. “Little brother is so tough now. They teach you that in the big city?”
“You know where I fucking learned how to beat your ass.” David spits. “Go.” He waves him away. Something about the look in David’s eyes has Tommy choosing to heed his advice.
Tommy does turn and leave while hissing out the mocking laugh that still makes David’s blood turn cold in his veins. 
Mack slides her hand up David’s arm but he flinches and pulls away from her touch.
David tries to recover, wrapping her hand in his, but Mack’s face reflects her worry back to him She doesn’t press and they continue on through the store. David can’t help looking over his shoulder as they leave the parking lot, even after he see’s Tommy’s truck is gone.
Something in the back of David’s mind nags at him. A part of him that knows this is far from the last interaction they’ll have with Tommy.
So much for home being their summer oasis. 
- - - & - - -
(Mack)
The silence in the house creates the perfect amplifier for the hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen. Mack and David sit together in the living room after dinner, desperately trying to fight off their jet lag. It’s almost 8pm, which is the time they set for themselves before going to sleep for the night. 
Although, judging by the harsh, set line of David’s jaw, she isn’t sure if he will be going to bed anyway. 
If Mack hadn’t liked David’s sister, Denise, she isn’t sure what she would call her feelings about the interaction with his older brother at the store. David had turned into something dark and mean. He yelled. She thought she was going to have to jump between both the men but at the last second, David got himself under control. It was unnerving for Mack to see her husband that way. Sure, he’s fought on the ice, but that is all superficial. Nothing like what she saw in David earlier. 
Mack yawns loudly as she tosses her book, stretching her arms above her head. David does the same with his magazine, then rubs at his eyes tiredly. He stands wordlessly, pulling Mack up from her spot on the couch. He goes into the kitchen, opening up the dishwasher to let the clean dishes air dry, then grabs himself and Mack a glass of water for bed.
After they both get settled beneath the comforter, David pulls Mack in close. Her pajama shorts smooth against the bare skin of his thighs.
“I don’t want to scare you but I need you to listen to what I’m gonna tell ya, honey.” He runs his fingers through her hair. “Tommy isn’t welcome here. And he isn’t to be anywhere near you, okay? He’s all messed up on drugs again and he gets mean when he’s like this. If he shows up here when I’m out in the field, call me or Felix.”
Mack nods silently. He nods curtly, then turns out the light like their discussion is done. Mack has never seen David so serious before. His voice holds this edge of protection and his eyes have lost the sparkle they had when they arrived in Iowa a few days ago. 
“You’re safe.” He reminds her. “But you need to know he can’t be trusted.”
Mack nods again, then clears her throat to speak so he knows her answer through the darkness.
“Okay.”
Mack eventually falls into a restless sleep. She wakes in the early hours of the morning, hearing quiet voices talking down the hall. She puts on a sweatshirt, adjusting her pajama shorts back down her thighs then opens the door. She pauses, hearing David’s quiet, soothing voice talking to someone.
“How do you think we handle this with the staff?” David inquires.
“I think we tell them if they see him or his truck to let one of us know. You and I are the only ones who should be dealing with him.” Felix answers. “What about Mack?”
“She’s fine.”
A long pause happens.
“You’re sure?”
“Of course I’m sure. You think I’d gamble with her?”
“He seems worse.”
“Yeah. He’s using again. Could see it in his eyes when he looked at us.” Another sigh from David. “I want you carrying. I will too.”
“Hope it doesn’t come to that.”
“Well, it’s the only thing that gets a response from him.”
Mack’s eyebrows furrow. Carry? Like a gun? To her knowledge, David doesn’t have guns. Mack pushes the door open, letting the hinges squeak so they know she is coming. David greets her with a soft smile.
“Good morning.” He opens his arms for her to climb into his lap. She does, resting her cheek on his shoulder. He kisses her forehead as Felix rises.
“I’ll get the groups divided up and started. Have a good day, Mrs. Mackenzie.” Felix tips his cowboy hat at her, then heads to the front door.
“Is he ever going to call me Mack?”
“Probably not.” David chuckles. “He always called mama Mrs. Carlson.” 
Mack brushes his drying hair back from his forehead. The strands cling together as his hand grips her hip. She brings her eyes to his. 
“Everything okay?”
“Yeah, just letting Felix know about Tommy. I want him to be aware.”
“Okay.” She nods. He tucks a chunk of her hair back behind her ear. His fingers linger lovingly on her cheek, drinking her in.
“What are you up to today?”
“I need to work. Time to write up some of our travels in Europe.”
“Mmm, nice. You’re staying here then?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, I’ll be close to the house today, in the first pasture. Come out and you can watch me cut some grass.”
“Tempting.” She widens her eyes sarcastically. “But you probably won’t see me.”
“Okay.” He pats her butt for her to stand.
His boots hit the wood floor heavily as he goes to grab himself some coffee in his thermos. Mack watches him walk to the fridge. He grabs a mason jar with the overnight oats she made him last night. When he turns back to grab his thermos, she sees a leather holster attached to his belt. 
“What’s that??”
“For my gun.” He says simply, grabbing a spoon from the silverware drawer.
“What??” She questions, sitting up straight in the chair. “David, you just told me last night that we are safe and now you’re wearing a gun to work?
“It’s not unusual here, babe.” He tries to soothe her.
“You didn’t have that at all when I have been here. Not once, David. Don’t talk to me like I’m stupid.”
David grabs the pot of coffee, pouring himself some into a white Michigan Hockey mug. He wipes his thumb under his nose, sniffing. He turns his butt to the counter, leaning against it as she stares him down, waiting for an explanation. He finally sighs.
“I take my job of protecting you seriously. I don’t trust my brother on crack. This gives me peace of mind.”
Mack’s head is spinning, not comprehending what’s going on at all. She wasn’t even aware there were guns on the property. David has never mentioned it in present tense. Sure, she knows he has hunted in the past, but he never mentioned he had hand guns. 
“I-I’m not comfortable with guns.” Mack swallows hard, grabbing the sleeves of her sweatshirt into her hands. David frowns, rubbing at his face and neck. 
“Okay. I respect that. We can talk more about that tonight, but I gotta get going right now, okay?” Mack can hear the roar of the farm equipment starting up. He grabs his thermos, then comes to her chair. He kisses her. “Have a good day, honey.” 
Mack watches from the table as he opens up the front closet. He works a few stray jackets to the side, exposing a large safe. He punches in a few numbers, then the mechanical locks twist and click. David turns the handle to reveal a large quantity of guns. He grabs one from the top shelf, double checking something on it, then pushing it into his holster. He shuts the door, then waves at her before opening up the front door. When it shuts behind him, Mack closes her eyes with a sigh.
Through out the day, Mack tries to work but can’t. Her focus keeps being pulled to the front closet where that tall, black safe sits. Her eyes continuously pull to the closed door, wondering what else is in there. The same mantra loops in her brain: that safe is big. Tall too. Like what else is in there?
By the time David comes home for the day, she’s got herself all sorts of worked up. He’s sweaty when he comes through the front door, bringing with him the hot, sticky summer air. He already has his dirty hat and shirt off. He tosses them onto the bench as he lays down on his back for a second.
“Uh, fuck, I’m tired.”
Mack nods in acknowledgement, keeping her gaze on her computer. She quietly types away, continuing to work on her outline. She nudges her blue light glasses back up her nose as David kicks off his boots and socks. Eventually, he peels himself off the floor, then goes to take a shower. When he comes out he grills brats and they eat dinner at the kitchen table together.
“How was your day?” He asks.
Mack doesn’t respond but she does look towards the front closet again. She turns her gaze back to him with a wrinkle in her nose.
“How many guns do you have?” She asks quickly, ignoring his question.
“10.” He answers immediately. “They’re all registered. They’re always locked up unless they’re on me. I take firearm safety classes regularly. Been shooting since I was 8.”
“Okay.” She nods. “Can I have the combination?” She asks.
“Sure, after you take a firearm safety class.” He tells her around a bite of salad. Mack pauses. Something unpleasant and unnerving rips through her. It chills her body and locks her spine up. Slowly, she puts her fork down. 
“I’m really weirded out that you have a safe full of guns that only you have the combination to. I feel…” She trails off. Because how does she tell him that it makes her feel unsafe now? “Unsure.” She settles on.
“Okay. I can have Felix take the safe tomorrow. What would you like to do for tonight?”
“Oh.” She says quietly. “I didn’t mean… um.”
“This is your home too, honey. I don’t want you feeling uncomfortable. But I can’t give you that combination. I have to keep you safe from things both inside and outside this house.”
Mack swallows hard. She is starting to feel really shakey and emotional. They have only been in Iowa for three days, but she is becoming overwhelmed with how different this stay has begun, and how much anxiety she is experiencing in the current moment.
“I think I’m gonna go lay down,” She says, standing up fast. Her chair skids across the floor, almost falling back behind her. David stands too, slower, concerned, but Mack backs away when he walks forward to comfort her. He stops immediately, staring at her.
“Go ahead, baby. I’ll stay here.” He encourages, hands slightly up in surrender to her.
Mack quietly turns and goes to their bedroom. She closes the door, then sits cross legged on the bed before bursting into tears. She’s really confused and blindsided by what is going on. Then on top of it, David is acting weird, which is making her more uncomfortable. All of a sudden he’s yelling in grocery stores and has a gun on him? That’s a whole different side of him Mack has never seen. Almost like he is a completely different person.
She didn’t grow up around guns or shooting like him. He didn’t talk to her about this safe or his unstable brother before he got here. She hasn’t shared with him the why behind guns making her uncomfortable because she didn’t think she had to. Now, she’s here, in a place she still doesn’t know very well, having to deal with heavy topics while completely out of her element. 
Mack remains in their room by herself, taking some time to calm down alone. She can hear David cleaning up dinner. The dishwasher starts then a soft thump of the front door closing, meaning David is outside. She relaxes her shoulders, trying to untense her body.
Mack’s head begins to pound. She disappears into the bathroom to grab some medicine then lays down under the covers, curled up into a comma, reminding herself that she is safe. She falls asleep like that quickly, arms wrapped around herself too.
When she awakens, it’s dark outside and the clock next to the bed says 12:39 am. She sits up, looking around the room. David’s side of the bed is still made. The door is still shut. No light comes in from beneath the door. She can hear the crickets whispering outside the bedroom windows. Within these small four walls, Mack feels like the only one in the Iowa country side tonight.
Hair on the back of her neck sticks up. Her eyes begin to tear as a lump forms in her throat. She is really scared. Like she can’t breathe. Her chest heaves. She grips at her throat with her fingers then slides out of the bed. She rushes across the room, throwing the door open. The house is so dark. There are no illuminating streetlights this far out from a bigger city, so Mack stumbles down the hallway, gripping at the wall to lead herself toward the main area.
“David?” She calls through chattering teeth.
Mack can hear every octave of her shuddered breaths.
“David!” She sobs when there is no answer. Her fingers hit a picture frame, sliding it off the nail on accident. It crashes to the floor, jolting her fear to a higher level.
She begins to full on panic, sobbing, dropping to her knees. She can’t hear David calling to her. She is paralyzed in the hallway.
Then, “Mack. It’s me. I’m going to touch you.” David taps her knee then runs his fingers up her thigh to her back, fully enclosing her. “You’re okay. I’m right here.”
David leans back into the wall, pulling her body completely into his. He cradles her softly, gently murmuring to her that she is safe. Mack continues to sob, big quaking shudders that smear tears across his bare chest.
David reaches for his phone, turning on the flashlight, so he can see her face. Then he cups her chin in his hand. Her amber eyes are squeezed shut, lips warped from her cries. Eventually, with David’s touch and steady assurance, Mack calms down. She stares down at the floor, silent tears still falling.
“I-I tho-ought y-you le-e-eft.”
“Oh, baby. No. I stayed out here to give you space. I’m right here. Not going anywhere.”
Mack starts to cry again in relief and exhaustion and probably a lot of other ways. But what matters is David picks her up and takes her to bed. He pulls the covers over them and holds her as tight as he can. She’s smooshed into his bare chest. Her wet tears sink into his skin.
David is able to get Mack back to sleep. When his alarm goes off at 5, he turns it off fast. The room illuminates from David’s screen as he sends Felix a text to let him know he’s in charge. With everything going on between him and Mack, he can’t work safely today. Finally, he pulls Mack in tight again and falls back to sleep.
Hours later, they wake up like that together.
David rubs Mack’s back to help her wake up, then stretches out his legs and lower back which hurt from falling asleep on the couch. Mack is shy but doesn’t pull away from him.
“I’m so sorry. About everything that happened yesterday. I have not handled this well at all. I don’t think I could have done worse than this, babe.” His voice is a tentative, apologetic whisper.
Mack nods, then rubs at her gritty and swollen eyes.
“If you want to go back to New York, I understand.”
She shakes her head no.
“Mack, babe, I’m trying to be patient here but I’m really worried you’re falling outta love with me right now, so can you give me something?”
“I’m more in love with you than I’ve ever been.” She assures him. “I have some things I haven’t told you before and they came up yesterday. It wasn’t only about what was happening here, now.”
The kiss David lays on her has Mack curling into his body tighter. His lips suck her up, then his tongue. His hands alternate between gripping and rubbing her. She cups his jaw when they pull apart for air.
“My family was robbed once.” Mack blurts.
David stills. His eyebrows pull together and Mack can feel his jaw tighten under her hand.
“My mom was pregnant with me at the time. They cased our house. Waiting for my dad to be gone then broke in with guns. They put a gun to my mom’s head and tied her up while Lucie was upstairs sleeping.” David tenseness moves from his jaw throughout the rest of his body.
“The last thing he wanted to take were her wedding rings. My mom fought back. He knocked her over and broke her collar bone, then threatened to come back and teach her a lesson when my dad was out of town next.”
“What the fuck.” He hisses.
“Yeah. We moved after that. They caught him and he was convicted, did some jail time but he’s still out there in the world now, with the sense of home and security he stole from all of us that night.”
She pauses, pulling in a deep breath to settle her discomfort.
“So yeah. Guns make me uncomfortable. And give me panic attacks. And turn sweet men into scary, unknown people.” She whispers the last part. He needs to know how he made her feel yesterday.
“Baby, I would never hurt you.” He whispers, swallowing his wounded pride to make sure she knows he means it
“I know, David. But that feeling I have in my chest is never going to go away. Whether you’re holding the gun or someone else. It’s trauma.”
“I understand. What do you need me to do so you feel safe?”
“I want us to do other things than just have you walking around with a gun on the farm. That is not the solution to this.”
“Okay.” David nods. 
When they’re ready to rise from bed and greet the world, they have a plan. The gun safe is being moved to Felix’s until Mack gets more comfortable. Their plan also includes a new security system with cameras at the front gate, barn, and house. They get new, more sophisticates locks and stop doing their country tendencies of leaving the doors unlocked. 
After a few days of self-reflection, Mack signs up for a firearm safety class and after that, she gets the combination to the safe, exactly as he promised he would. Mack doesn’t feel the need to continue more after that, but learning how to use it and be safe, took away a lot of her fear around it.
The guns move back in the house and Mack’s attention goes back to normal things like work, the upcoming country fair, and her husband’s steady hand in hers.
- - - & - - -
Weeks later, Mack and David are driving the truck back from their sunflower patch. David’s hand is on Mack’s thigh, tapping along to the beat of a country song flowing through the old speakers. It’s a bit crackly, but Mack loves this old truck. Her and David had been out watching the sunset and making love in the truck bed.
The truck rolls up the hill from the pasture back onto the gravel road. Mack then lays her head on David’s shoulder. The cool blue of the night makes the white house they pull up to stark. The truck rounds the corner and David slows down almost to a stop. Mack lifts her head, seeing a blue, beat down truck in front of the house. Every muscle in David’s body coils up. He parks the truck in it’s spot by the barn. Mack sits up, watching as the person gets out of the driver’s side door.
It’s Tommy.
“David?”
He reaches around her to the glove box, pulling out a handgun Mack didn’t know was in there.
“Go straight inside, honey.”
“David.” Mack worriedly whispers this time.
“Baby, don’t fight me. I can tell he has been using. Get inside the house.” David shakes his head sternly. He tucks the gun in the waistband of his pants at the small of his back. David walks around the truck, then opens Mack’s door.
“Should I call…” She trails off because David isn’t listening to her. She swallows hard as he forces her forward to the house with a firm hand on her back. He doesn’t release her until her foot hits the first step of the porch. Mack hustles inside, quickly shutting the door behind her. 
“You’re not welcome here and you’re trespassing on my land.” David reminds him.
Mack watches from inside the house. She begins to tremble from fear and adrenaline. 
“Your land?” Tommy spits out with a laugh, then starts walking around the truck to David. David doesn’t move, hands loosely on his hips.
“Oh shit.” Mack mutters watching as Tommy shoves David. 
“This isn’t yours. It’s ours.”
“It’s fucking mine now. You got your cut, now fuck off.”
“Daddy would whip you with his belt if he heard you talking to me like that.”
“He wouldn’t. This land is still in Carlson hands because of me. He’d be proud of that. There have been some hard years since he died and I’m the one who made sure this farm survived. Not you. Not Charlie. Not Denise. Me.” David’s voice begins to raise. “How fucking dare you come here and say that to me.”
Tommy scoffs and shakes his head. He turns to look out towards the driveway then suddenly lunges at David out of nowhere. Even if Tommy was in great physical shape, he wouldn’t stand a chance against David. But still, Mack gasps and clutches her throat. She digs in her back pocket for her phone, fumbling with it as David flips Tommy onto his back.
Mack can feel the thud of his body on the dirt vibrate through her chest. Tommy struggles to breathe after. David gets down and says something quietly to him. Then he stands back on his feet and waits for Tommy to get back in his truck to leave. It takes Tommy a minute to get his bearings again, then he stumbles along to the driver’s side door. 
“You’ll get yours, little brother.” Tommy hisses out. Fear slices through to Mack’s core. 
After Tommy leaves in a whirl of dirt, David picks up his old Rangers hat that fell off during the altercation. He comes up the porch with heavy steps. Mack greets him in the entry way with tears on her cheeks.
“It’s okay, honey. C’mere.” He brings her into his chest with a hand on the back of her head. Mack sobs into his body. “We are safe. Don’t worry. I’m not going to let him hurt us.” 
Mack can’t help but think what that cost could be to them. He won’t let anyone hurt them, but what will he have to do to prevent the harm?
Call it fate, or maybe Devine intervention, but that night is the last time Mack and David ever see Tommy.
Two weeks later, as Mack and David are sharing coffee on the front porch, a sheriff’s car slowly rolls up into the driveway. It is David’s good friend, Trevor.
“Hey Trev.” David waves, scratching his chest hair with his other hand. 
“David, Mack.” He nods to them both, then takes off his green sheriff’s hat.
Sensing Trevor’s seriousness, David sits up in his chair, dropping both his feet back to the ground. Mack stands, getting off his lap so David can greet Trevor more formally. The two men shake hands, then Trevor says, “We had a drug raid early this morning off Aspen.”
“That green house on the corner?”
“Yeah.”
“That place should have been condemned long ago.” David sighs.
“Yeah, you’re probably right. Not as simple as when your daddy was mayor.” David nods in agreement. 
“The world is different. What’s that house got to do with us?”
“Well, in our sweep of the house, we found Tommy there.” Mack’s blood goes cold at the way David stills. “He wasn’t responsive. We transported him to Pella Regional, but it was too late, Dave.” David stares down at Trevor, hands on his hips in disbelief. Mack’s fingers shake over her mouth as she looks at her husband. She blinks tears she didn’t know had formed down her cheeks. 
“Are you serious?” David whispers to Trevor.
“Yes, sir. I am so sorry.” David licks his lips, then looks away from Trevor, staring up at the bright blue sky him and Mack had just been appreciating. “We need next of kin to come identify the body. I thought about going to Charlie but…” Trevor trails off. Everyone on that porch knows Charlie would have waved them away to disappear into the bottle, and made David do it anyway.
“Um, yeah. I’ll go change and meet you up there.” 
“Sure.” Trevor nods. “Are you okay to drive?”
“Yeah, Trev.” 
“Okay. I’ll see you at the station. Ask for me; I’ll take you.” The two men share a look of old friends, who understand each other and this circumstance. Trevor being the one to take David is a man trying to be the best friend he can be in an ugly life moment. Trevor puts his hat back on his head and gets back into his car. David watches the rocks kick up from the dirt road after the SUV, creating a plum of smoke like haze that blurs his view with his tears.
Mack carefully walks over to him. She pastes herself to his back, pushing her forehead into the deep valley of his spine. Her fingers grip as much of him as they can. She has no words. No amount of scrambling of her brain can come up with what to say to him. 
“I guess I gotta go. I can make pancakes when I get back.” Mack winces. Then grabs at him to turn him to look at her.
“Are you…” She stops herself. Of course he isn’t okay. “I’ll go with you.”
“No. Please don’t.” Mack purses her lips, trying not to feel hurt. This isn’t about her.
“Okay.” She whispers back as he walks around her. The screen door slams behind him. She hears David sigh heavily then inhale sharply like he is sobbing. She turns, watching him hit his knees in the living room. Then a gut wrenching wail rips through the house. Mack starts to sob in response. She walks into the house, collecting his big body into her arms. She buries her nose and a hand into his hair, collecting his tears and snot on her shirt. 
“I didn’t want this to happen to him!” He wails to Mack. “I just wanted him to leave us alone!”
“I know, baby. It’s not your fault.” Mack digs her finger prints deeper into his back, trying to hold him tight enough.
“Why does this keep happening to me?” He rocks forward, almost sending Mack to her back. She tightens her core to keep them both upright. “What did I do wrong?!”
“Nothing, baby. Nothing. You don’t deserve this. I’m so sorry.” 
It’s not enough. 
How could any words be when someone lost their life last night?
- - - & - - -
David doesn’t hold a funeral for his brother, there is no otherwise celebration of life. His other siblings don’t even acknowledge the loss of Tommy. Charlie rolls out of town again without a word, disappearing to roam along the West with some girl he met at a bar up in Des Moines. Denise and her family stay in Texas because “it’s just too hard”. So David takes days off from the farm over the next few weeks to settle Tommy’s affairs. He closes out his debts. Sells off the little items he had, including the run down trailer he was living in. He calls their extended family to let them know. No one is surprised. They all hope he has found peace in the next stage of existence. 
It’s Mack who suggests that David bury Tommy’s cremated remains by their parents. David stared blankly across the room at her then gave a single nod. He picked up the phone again and made a few more calls.
They buried Tommy on a Sunday morning. A local preacher from the church David’s mom loved when the kids were growing up stops by to say a few words. David doesn’t cry a single tear. He looks down at the torn up ground with an empty look. Mack folds their fingers together as they walk back up to the house. David stands at the bottom of the porch steps. Mack steps up, then turns back to look at him. 
“I want to leave.”
“Okay. Where should we go?”
“Back to New York. I’m sick of this fucking place.” Mack bites her lip worriedly then nods. 
“When?”
“Tomorrow.” 
“David.” Mack sighs, rubbing his palm. “We need to give Felix more time.” She reminds him. 
“I can’t.” He shakes his head. “I’ve gotta get outta here.” 
Mack understands. He knows she does because in a different way, she has felt the same ache he has complained about in his chest since Trevor showed up in the driveway. 
“Okay. Go. I’ll take care of the house, close it up for us and do what needs to be done here.” David nods, then walks around her into the house. 
The next day, Mack drops David off at the airport. He flies to New York and disappears there  alone. Mack takes three weeks to close up the farm. She could have been done in four days, but she knew David needed that time alone in New York. He went on long motorcycle rides. He grieved. He called her and cried on the phone at 2 am several nights. He got another tattoo. He started seeing the team psychologist to work through his grief- of the brother he had and the one he wished he did. But David got through it in the way he needed to. 
When Mack returned to New York, he was better, more himself than she had seen him since that first interaction with Tommy. Having her back with him healed him more. He started to laugh again, joke around with Woody, and build legos with Stella. He even went out for a beer with Lio and caught a Mets game with him. By the time the season started, David found himself in a good place with everything. 
He tells her as much on their last non-hockey morning together, sipping coffee.
“I’m feeling at peace with what happened this summer.”
“Yeah?” She murmurs, closing the book she had been reading.
“Yeah. I felt bad for awhile that I… like… felt relieved that he was gone? I didn’t have to worry about what he was doing anymore. He really had me on edge when we were back in Iowa. I felt violent and you sensed that the day I pulled the gun out of the safe.” Mack contemplates, then nods in agreement. “I don’t feel that way anymore. Yeah, Charlie is around town still, but he flows in and out like a breeze. Tommy was always around. Always threatening a run in or showing up and hollering at Felix when he knew I came back to New York. Not having to worry about that anymore is a relief.”
“I bet.” Mack nods assuringly. She reaches for his hand. “I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’m sorry that… his death is so much more complicated than it should have been. You should have been able to grieve this a different way.” David shifts closer to her on the couch then pulls her into a strong, loving hug.
“You’ve been so amazing with me through this. Thank you. I can’t imagine how I would have gotten through all of this without you. It’s like.. I shifted so much but you never took it personally. You stepped in and did whatever I needed and figured it all out. Thank you.”
“I like taking care of you.” She responds quietly.
“You’re good at it too.” 
Yeah. She is. 
And that’s something Mack didn’t realize until now. How good she can be at taking care of her people. 
That realization will nudge and change her life in a way she’ll never see coming.

Jolly praising you like a good little girl while you cry on his monster cock cause you swore you could handle it when you wanted to try riding him
I’m so serious if someone doesn’t get me a pack of Marlboro Red 100’s in the next 2 seconds I’m deactivating; I just found this is my drafts and I really don’t know where it came from but it’s heavy on my spirit
Yeah I think. Actually I don’t! Bye!
Literally how am I supposed to organize my thoughts I’m just gonna throw some shit out there: you get the big idea to ride Jolly, you’re sooo determined until you get him in your hands because yeah you don’t remember it being this big, and maybe it slips your mind that he’s usually doing all the work while you lay back and whimper and cry and look pretty! But he’s so supportive, so helpful, helps line himself up with your pretty little hole even though you’re supposed to be calling the shots! Rubs your back when the tip is in because it’s big okay and you’re having some difficulty focusing on what you’re doing when it’s already all-consuming and you haven’t even done anything yet. He’s reminding you to breathe when you finally sink down fully with a whine that is so pathetic it’s almost shameful, eyes fluttering shut until he reminds you that you’re supposed to be looking at him. You really do try to lift up to properly ride him, it’s what he deserves, but the drag of him inside you is making you shudder so much that you barely lift yourself two inches before you’re grinding back down into him 😔 he’s number one supportive daddy though, tells you how good you’re doing for him, how pretty you look on top of him :-/ tells you to be a good girl and make yourself cum, grind on him just like that :-/ so you do duh!! You’re not even riding him technically, just grinding deeper and deeper until your breaths are little gasps and your eyelids are fluttering while fighting the urge to close entirely :-//// and distantly you know it can’t be as good for him, there’s no way this is as enjoyable for him as it is for you, but then his thumb is softly rubbing at your clit and you find that you don’t care! He can have his way with you when you’re done! When you cum it’s while pawing at his chest and chanting his name, and it’s amazing but it’s nothing like usual and he knows it which is why he’s kind enough to flip y’all over and fuck you the way a princess deserves. I’m gonna go finish my coffee and eat a cigarette off the sidewalk!!!!!!!!!

Read pt.1 here <3

Warnings: smut, swearing, mention of smoking, mentions of abuse (very brief), switch!Daryl and switch!reader bc I could not make up my mind about what I wanted I’m so sorry, vaginal sex, unprotected sex (PLEASE WRAP IT BEFORE YOU TAP IT), oral (female receiving) and like maybe could be counted as public sex if you squint? It’s in a closed store in the back room idk decide if you’d have sex there
Ps I proof read this once and got a B average in High school writing please do not eat me alive for my mistakes
————————
“No way out of it, huh, sweet’eart?”
You frowned as if Daryl could see you over the phone.
“No, ‘fraid not, honey. Maybe you could come see me after work anyway?”
You and Daryl had a handful of dates since your first, hanging at each other’s homes and enjoying a couple nights out. Tonight was supposed to be another date but it was one you had hoped would be particularly special.
You’d gotten handsy with each other the first date and even more after but never had you two gone ‘all the way’, an idea that made you so excited you were on the verge of anxiety.
That was supposed to be tonight, but your manager had other ideas. Someone had called out and you were stuck with a last minute closing shift, which meant you had to cancel on Daryl.
“ ‘Works for me. How ‘bout I come there ‘round closin’ time? ‘Miss ya’, don’ wanna wait ‘round, ‘m impatient,'' Daryl joked. You loved to hear his low chuckle over the phone.
“I’ll be here, baby,” you hummed, leaning against the wall behind the register with the phone to your ear and your other hand on your hip.
The nickname, unbeknownst to you, had his mouth dry and his hands starting to sweat.
You both said your goodbyes and hung up, the minutes ticking like hours until the end of your shift.
—-------------------------------------------
The clock read 10:59 as you walked towards the door to lock it, right as Daryl’s bike pulled up. You hurriedly rushed him inside, locking the door behind.
“Hopefully no one saw you, the cameras don’t work but I don’t want any customers bangin’ on the door to get in ‘cause they saw you,” you explained to him, looking out through the glass door and flipping the ‘Open’ sign to ‘Closed’.
The little store was family owned and the security cameras in every corner of the store were meant to intimidate possible thieves but weren’t really operational. ‘Too expensive’ you remember your boss explaining.
“Oh, so I get special treatment? After hours privileges?” Daryl teased, running a hand through his long brown locks.
“You get a lot more privileges than that,” you let your tongue slip, a blush creeping across your face as you shook your head, pretending to be fascinated with your closing paperwork after you led Daryl to the back office. He sat himself in a metal folding chair across from your office chair as you leaned over the desk to your right.
“Yeah? Like what?” He inquired, leaning forward with his forearms on his knees.
“Like…” you hesitated, recalling the last time you and Daryl had seen each other, “hands on my ass privileges?”
His face mimicked yours at your words, red as could be.
“Y-yeah, that is true, uh-” He tried to play off his bashful stutter and leaned back in the chair, folding his arms and pretending to be interested in the beige file cabinets and black desk.
You couldn’t help but giggle at the way he was flustered.
“What’s so funny?”
“Nothing, nothing, just…I like when you’re all shy, it’s cute.”
“I ain’t shy.”
“Just a little.”
“Nah.”
“Uh-huh.”
Daryl had a wicked idea, wondering if it would be too far.
He went ahead with it anyway, standing up and reaching underneath himself to scoot the metal chair right up to yours. If it really was too far, he knew you’d stop him.
In one swift motion, he placed one arm around your waist and the other under your knees and picked you up, earning a yelp from you and a giggle before he sat back down and maneuvered you to sit bridal-style across his lap.
“I ain’t shy,” he repeated, noting the grin on your lips you were trying so hard to bite down.
He leaned under your jaw to kiss at your neck, making you gasp and squirm a little on his lap. He left trails of open mouthed kisses up and down your skin, finally stopping at your lips.
“ you jus’ make me feel a certain typa’ way.”
What way that was, Daryl didn’t even know. It was a fire inside he had never felt before. He’d been with a girl before, sure, to get it done and over with, but he’d never once before felt the kind of lust you evoked in him. You made him eager to please, someone who’d kiss the ground you walked on if you really asked of him. Truthfully, he’d been itching to get his hands on every inch of you he could since the day he saw you behind that counter. He may not have been very experienced in what to really do with you, but he knew he could make it up along the way if he just paid attention to what you seemed to want from him.
“A certain type of way? Good way?” you managed to breathe out with Daryl’s teeth scraping against your neck.
“So-fucking-good way,” he muttered against you, now massaging half your ass with his huge, calloused hand.
You were still laid across his lap and Daryl effortlessly adjusted you to straddle him, his hands immediately returning to your ass as he attached his lips to yours.
You couldn’t help the soft sigh you let out into his open mouth as he pressed his tongue to yours. His hands massaged your ass and he scooted you up to sit square on his crotch so you could feel his erection in his jeans. You gasped, yanking a bit of his hair that was tangled in between your fingers. He let out a muffled, obscene moan at the feeling of your weight on him and the added pleasure of having you pull his hair.
“Fuck me,” he sighed, looking up at you, lips wet and a little swollen.
He didn’t mean to say it aloud but he’d be a liar if he took it back and said he didn’t mean it.
His words brought you back from heaven to earth and you remembered where you were, dry humping each other in the back office of the store.
“The sooner I get this paperwork done,” you started, tucking a strand of Daryl’s hair behind his ear, “the sooner we can get out of here and I can do that.”
He blinked up at you adoringly, leaning into your touch with his eyes still glued to yours. He tossed over an idea in his mind, knowing the door was locked out front and those cameras scattered around didn’t really work. It was a bad idea, he knew, surely, but it couldn’t possibly be that bad if the idea made him feel so good.
“Who said we had to leave here to do it?”
The office space, small but sizable enough to fit two chairs, a desk and a cabinet, had no windows and a lockable door. Daryl kept his eyes on your puzzled face as he leaned forward, still with a firm hold on you with one arm, and kicked the office door shut, locking it.
Your eyes widened as you realized what he was insinuating.
“In..In here? You wanna have sex with me in this office.”
It wasn’t a question, you knew what he meant, you just weren’t sure if he was serious.
“Think about it, how’s anyone gonna find out, hm?” As he spoke, Daryl moved one of his hands to the front of your pants, cupping your pussy.
You softly moaned, unable to keep quiet at the pressure of his palm.
“F-fuck, Daryl, I-” you tried to speak, silenced by the way he started to slide his fingers over your clothed slit.
“Hm? What, baby?”
The way he could make you such a mess with simple touch inflated his confidence and he took pleasure in teasing you.
“Are you sure you want to?” you asked honestly after he removed his hand to let you speak.
“Positive, I want you anyway I can have you, don’t care where we are, all that matters is that it's with you,’’ He admitted, “do you wanna?”
To answer his question, you brought your shirt up and over your head and revealed the lace bra you wore underneath. You tossed your shirt somewhere behind you and pressed your lips back to your boyfriend’s, guiding his hands to your chest at the same time. Daryl cupped your breasts and his fingers slipped up and through your bra straps, letting them fall off your shoulders.
The way he was kissing you was something you hadn’t felt from him before. He was basically fucking your mouth with his tongue, making your mind race with thoughts of how good he’d probably be at using his tongue somewhere else. You rolled your hips against his, grinding onto his dick as he moaned into your mouth. He reached his hands around your back and fumbled for a minute with your bra strap.
You chuckled a little into his mouth, pulling away just an inch.
“Do you need help, baby?”
He sighed and nodded, clearly frustrated.
“ ‘s okay,” you reassured him, reaching behind yourself to unclip the bra.
Daryl’s eyes fell from yours to your chest as you brought his hands to the material, wanting to give him the privilege of being the one to take it off you.
He looked back at you for reassurance and you nodded slightly to give him the green light. He held the straps in his fingers and delicately started to drag them down your arms, caressing your skin with his touch. The cups fell down and your bra was discarded wherever your shirt had been. Daryl’s jaw fell just a little and he took in the sight of your bare chest, his breathing heavy and his mouth wet with excess saliva, nearly drooling for you.
“Fuckin’ beautiful,” he finally heaved out, immediately lurching forward and suctioning his lips to your nipple.
His actions made you gasp, tugging on his hair again in surprise. This made him moan, open mouth to your chest. You imitated his noises unintentionally as he continued to softly nip, lick and suck at your breasts.
“D-Daryl, I- “ you couldn’t speak coherently. Every part of you was overwhelmed by him in the best way possible.
“Hm?,” Daryl spoke in between latching his mouth all over you, “you wanna say somethin’, princess? That feel good?”
You couldn’t help the moan that escaped your lips at his teasing words, “uh-huh, y-yeah.”
“So pretty for me…” his words trailed off and he kissed up your neck and back to your mouth.
When you finally pulled away from each other, you saw the mess he had made of your boobs: shiny with spit and covered in light purple and red splotches.
“Jesus,” you chuckled, pushing your fallen hair out of your face.
Daryl stared up at you on his lap, breathless from not only kissing you but from the sight of you. You were beautiful, always, but like this? Ethereal. Other- worldly, with your hair a mess from his hands tangled in it and your chest marked up and wet with his spit. He wanted to say it then, the three words he’d been trying to hold back, afraid to scare you off and away from him. So he bit his tongue, gripping your hips a little tighter and dragging you over the tent in his jeans, determined to distract from his feelings.
You grabbed him by the collar of his old button down flannel and kissed him passionately, once again lapping into his mouth with your tongue. Your unsteady fingers worked at the top button of his shirt, desperate to feel his skin against yours. Down, down, down, as Daryl was still grinding himself up into you, you unbuttoned his shirt and pushed the fabric from his broad shoulders. When you tried to pull it off, however, he froze his movement and grabbed your wrists to stop you.
You were surprised, suddenly a little embarrassed and sheepish.
“I’m- I’m sorry, Daryl, do you wanna stop? We can, If you w-” you started to reassure him, but he cut you off.
“No, no, ain’t that, I want it - want you,I just..” his eyes broke from yours, looking nervously around the floor, “you remember I told you ‘bout when I was a kid… all that shit my dad did to me and my brother. Left a lot of scars…all on my back.”
You could tell he was trying hard to push out his words, like they had a bitter taste. You brought your hands to his face, gently cupping his cheeks and bringing his head up a little, forcing him to look at you.
“Daryl, baby, there’s not a thing you have to hide from me. I like you as you are, scars included. There isn’t a thing about you I think I could find unattractive. I like everything about you.”
This wasn’t just something you said to make him feel better. Truly, you loved every detail there was to Daryl Dixon. His calloused hands, scruffy facial hair, broad frame. The way he kissed you, held you, made you laugh. The way he made you feel safe, untouchable, like the most beautiful creature to bless earth. You could talk about nothing and everything and at the same time sit for hours on end in silence, just enjoying each other’s company.
From underneath your gaze, your soft words made Daryl’s heart flutter the same way it had on that first date, the picnic in the park where you kissed him so sweetly. He believed you wholeheartedly. You, if anyone, would always be the person he could open up to.
Again, those heavy three words weighed on his tongue, nearly escaping his lips when he thought over what you had said. And again, he pushed it down in an almost cartoonishly loud swallow of his saliva.
Wordlessly, afraid he’d let his tongue slip, Daryl guided your hands from his face back to where they had been on his shirt, urging you to carry on as before. You did, gently pulling at the fabric as he shrugged it off and let you toss it somewhere in the room.
Your lips attached to his and the feeling of your warm skin on his chest was addictive like those cigarettes he always bought from you, inhaling the smell of you just the same.
You let your hands roam over his broad shoulders, down his muscular arms, back up again and down his chest. You teasingly dragged your fingers in a feather light touch right above his jeans, making him buck his hips forward and shudder.
“God damn, woman, ain’t gotta go teasin’ me like that,” he huffed, shaking his hair out of his eyes.
“No? C’mon, baby, it’s fun. You like it.”
He did, admittedly, really fucking like it. He especially liked the back and forth between the both of you being dominant and submissive.
You repeated your touch that made him shudder in the first place and dragged your hand to palm his cock over his jeans. He gripped your hips, diggin his fingers into the soft flesh.
“P-Please,” Daryl whimpered your name, “ ‘need you, need you so bad, dream ‘bout you-“
With one touch, he’d really become a mess for you.
“You dream about me? What do I do in your dreams, hm?” You spoke softly with your lips to his ear, hand still gently stroking back and forth.
He groaned, grinding himself into your hand and trying to pant out a response, “dream ‘bout your hands on me, your mouth, d-dream ‘bout bein’ in ya’, makin’ you - makin’ you cum.”
His words went straight to your core, starting a throbbing in you.
“You wanna make me feel good?” Your taunt had him nearly shaking, eagerly nodding his head and licking his lips.
“So what do you wanna do to me?” You spoke again, leaning back and removing your hand from his aching cock.
The ball was in his court now and he knew it was a purposeful throw to try to get him off his game. Thankfully, he knew damn well what he wanted to do to and with you, having worked himself to the thought of it almost every other night since you’d started seeing each other.
“Take off your pants. Sit in the chair.”
Daryl’s words made your stomach erupt in butterflies and you nearly fell off him to do as you were told, kicking off your shoes and socks and stripping off down to your underwear.
“Those, too.”
You, again, abided by his words and hooked your fingers into the waistband of your underwear, dragging them down and kicking them elsewhere.
Your lover took a moment to admire your body, every curve and mark and inch of you. He sighed happily, and motioned for you to sit back in the chair you had been in before. You did, crossing your legs in anticipation. You watched Daryl move from the chair and get down on his knees in front of you, hands gently placed on your crossed thighs.
“Can I?” He asked, gravely voice almost lined with desperation.
You realized what he was asking, your face growing pink and eyes wide as you sheepishly nodded, letting Daryl’s hands gently guide your thighs open for him.
He let out a low groan at the sight of you, slick with want for him, your inner thighs wet and glistening just from rubbing your legs together.
He’d never done this before, but god - he thought about it - so often he was pretty sure he was ready to at least try.
Before you could even get your hands in his hair, Daryl was attaching his lips to your pussy, eagerly licking wide stripes up you and sucking on your clit when he found it. He ate you like he was starved for days.
“D-Daryl, I-“, you wanted to tell him to slow down, but his tongue was faster than yours.
He hummed from between your legs, using his buff arms to lift both your thighs up onto his shoulders, cradling his head between them.
“Feel good? Huh?” He muttered when he finally broke away from you for a moment and licked his lips, already wet and shiny.
“Little slower, baby, you’re gonna make me cum too soon,” you huffed out, looking down into his vivid blue eyes.
“What do you think I’m down here for?” He joked, kneading your thighs with his hands, “besides, ain’t like it’s gonna be the only time tonight. You think you got more than one in ya’?”
His teasing intensified the fire in your lower abdomen, your hands coming to his hair again to softly tangle it between your fingers.
Daryl returned his tongue to your clit, licking in circles and sucking the sensitive bundle of nerves. Truth be told, he had no idea if he could really even make you cum once, but he couldn’t help but keep up with the cocky dirty talk because of how much it seemed to turn you on. Now, he was on a serious mission to make you come completely undone for him twice in one night. The thought of it alone made his cock twitch in his jeans, feeling awfully tight.
You continued to play with his hair as he lapped at you, so lost in the feeling of euphoria that you weren’t giving a thought about the noise you were making. You mewed and moaned and gasped as he kept his mouth on and in you, pushing his tongue as much as he could into the shallow part of your hole. This really hit a nerve, sending a loud, broken moan through your throat. You couldn’t help the gasp of his name, still gently caressing his temples with his hair in your hands.
He mimicked your moan, hot breath fanning you and tongue still in your pussy. He kept up his movements after, digging his fingers into your thighs everytime you yanked his hair harder. The more pressure he applied with his lips and tongue and the faster he licked and sucked at you, you felt the pressure building in your stomach.
“I-I’m, Daryl, I’m gonna-“ you tried to sputter out but your own moan snuck its way through, the heat in your abdomen almost unbearable.
He just hummed into you, letting you yank his hair and push and pull his head as you pleased - whatever it took to get you there for him.
Finally you felt the knot in the bottom of your stomach come undone, squeezing your eyes shut tight and whining Daryl’s name, littered with obscenities. The euphoric feeling tingled throughout your body from head to toe. Where his hands and lips met you felt like fire.
You tried to regain your senses as he didn’t slow his movement, still sucking and licking at your sensitive clit.
“Babe, mh - babe, please, I- I’m too s-sensitive” you pleaded, trying to tug his head away as he pulled you closer by your thighs. He felt so accomplished and smug with himself for making you cum for him that he didn’t want to stop pulling those noises from you.
After a second he finally let you go and licked his lips, wet along with his chin from your arousal. He lovingly caressed your thighs as you steadied your breathing, legs shaking on his shoulders.
“So beautiful,” he huffed out, scanning your features with his cerulean blue eyes, “I could do that all day.”
“Yeah? We can arrange that.” You joked, letting him gently place your thighs back onto the chair as you sat up a little.
He stood from his knees and you took notice of the large bulge in the front of his jeans, that of which had been twitching and aching with every moan from your lips.
You drew your eyes from his erection to his abdomen, up his muscular bare chest and broad shoulders, all the way to his swollen pink lips and lustful gaze he had upon you.
He swore he could feel the wet patch forming on the front of his boxers at the way you sized him up, looking at him like you practically wanted to fucking eat him.
He’d let you, really.
“I want you, all of you.” you finally spoke, reaching forward and pulling Daryl closer by the belt loop of his jeans. With your other hand, you began to palm the front of his jeans, eyes never leaving his.
He gasped at your touch, hands flying to tangle themselves in your hair. You slowly started to unbutton his jeans, looking for any sign that he wanted you to stop. When he bucked his hips forward, you got your answer, pulling down his zipper and gently tugging at the fabric. Daryl assisted and kicked off his shoes, socks and jeans. He leaned down after he did so to lift you up by your thighs and onto the top of the desk. You yelped and giggled at the sudden movements and let him stand between your legs, placing open mouthed kisses down your jaw and neck. He experimentally ground his hips into yours, his cock centered with your throbbing folds. You whined, the fabric of his boxers feeling especially rough on your sensitive bundle of nerves. It became soaked through from the both of you, being the only layer of fabric left that separated you.
“You wan’ me to take you here, love you right? ‘Like hearing those pretty moans a’ yours.” Daryl was muttering into your neck, sucking red and purple marks so he could show any prick you were all his.
“M-hmm-“ you gasped, nodding eagerly and rolling your hips into his, letting him grip your ass and pull you closer, “ - want you, I want you to have me right here, Daryl.”
Your pleading made his cock leak even more and he couldn’t take it, pulling back from you momentarily to yank down his boxers and kick them away.
You watched his hard on slap against his lower stomach, pink and leaking tip twitching at the release. Your mouth practically watered, wanting to take him in your mouth.
As he gripped your hips again you reached for his cock but he flinched, grabbing your wrist.
“I- Sorry, sorry - “ you started to apologize in panic but Daryl shook his head, dropping his grip to cup your face.
“No. No, ain’t like that, ‘course I want you to touch me - but I’m not gonna get to please ya’ any good if im cummin’ in your pretty hand instead of your pretty pussy, huh?”
His gentle demeanor, reassurance and absolutely filthy praise made you blush red, nodding meekly as he stroked your cheeks with his thumbs. He placed a loving kiss on your forehead, then your nose, cheeks, chin and finally your lips, swallowing the giggle that had been slipping between them.
His leaking tip was so close to you he could practically feel the heat radiating off your folds. You wanted to pull him in by the hips and let him slip into you, fill you to the brim and make you whine and plead until you came apart for him in his hands.
“You sure you want this?” Daryl asked, reassuringly stroking the tops and sides of your thighs, “I’m nearly itchin’ for it but you know if you wanna stop sweet ‘eart, you can tell me.”
His sweet reassurance made your heart melt, warm and sticky and ooey - gooey all at your lover’s words.
“I want you more than anything - “ you replied, stroking fallen strands of hair off his face and behind his ear, “ - I’ve thought about it since the day we met.”
Your admission made his heart sore and he used his hand to hold his heavy member up to your hole, tracing the sensitive entrance with his wet tip.
“Fuck, thought about -” Daryl couldn’t help the rut of his hips, “- thought about it for so long, how you’d feel. Wanted to bend you over that damn counter and take you right there.”
You twitched involuntarily at the shift of his hips and gasped, moving a hand down to notch him right up against you.
He experimentally pushed his hips forward, slowly starting to stretch his head into the shallow part of you.
Pornographic moans fell from your mouth as he slipped in further and you scratched lightly at his back and hips, feeling the decadent burn and subsequent pleasure of Daryl pushing himself further into you until he bottomed out.
“Feel ok? Does that hurt?’’
You shook your head, grinding your hips forward in an attempt to swallow more of him.
He took your answer and began slowly pulling in and out of you, trying to rock himself steadily so as not to push too hard and hurt you.
You hooked your legs around his hips and used them as a vice to keep him close to you, pulling him in every time he thrusted forward. You wrapped your arms around his neck and stroked his back and shoulders, kissing him affectionately as he continued fucking in and out of you at a steady, teasingly slow pace.
“Daryl, please, faster, baby.” You huffed out, swiping fallen strands of dark brown hair out of his face.
“ ‘m tryin’ not to cum so - so damn fast, you feel so fuckin’ good.” He slurred out, gripping your hips so hard he’d leave crescent shaped marks where his dull fingernails had been digging into your soft skin.
He truly was, too enamored of you and the way you felt and so lost in your eyes that he needed to concentrate on lasting for you, determined to finish you off first for a second time.
The feeling of his tip hitting that perfect spot in you had you feeling full to your stomach, relishing in the way his pelvis rubbed up to your clit when he filled you.
Taking notice of that, Daryl watched your face contort in pleasure as he slipped one of his hands between the two of you and began to rub at your swollen clit, applying more pressure every time he was pressing you into the desk with his hips. He let a string of expletives slip from his lips as he shut his eyes, concentrating on both holding his release and helping you to yours.
He slipped his thick fingers down to where his cock was buried in you and back up again, slick with your arousal. He circled his ring finger around your clit and swiped the bundle of nerves, nearly buckling at the knees when you moaned his name.
“You like that, huh?” He asked, testing how you’d like the way he muttered into your ear and if it would push you any further. He nipped at your earlobe with his teeth, satisfied in the rising goosebumps on your skin and the gasp you let fall from your lips.
“Fuck - feels so good, please,” you huff as daryl picks up his pace and starts to knock the breath out of you with every rut of his hips, “don’t stop.”
He abided your command, continuing his pace and still squeezing his eyes shut to hold back from filling you with his hot cum. The scruff on his chin scratched delightfully against your neck and cheek as he rocked back and forth.
“M- ‘m gonna cum, babe, I’m-“ you tried to warn him, in too much pleasure to speak.
The pressure at the bottom of your stomach grew and your body felt hot all over. Daryl’s touch and the feeling of him hitting that sweet spot in you over and over again with a look of absolute ecstasy was too much for you to take, finally sending you over the edge.
You dug your fingernails into his broad shoulders and let out a string of expletives mixed with his name, panting and huffing as he fucked you through your climax. The room was filled with the sounds of your moans, Daryl’s whines and the wet gush of your pussy, swollen and delightfully sore.
Daryl let go the same time you had, releasing himself into you and letting his cum seep from you and onto your thighs as he fucked it into you. He had opened his eyes to watch you come undone, and as he’d thought it would, the heavenly sight brought him to his climax in just a couple strokes. His brain was clouded with only thoughts of you and the filter from his head to his mouth had disappeared. His lips moved faster than he could register and before he could stop himself, he was speaking.
“I love ya.”
The three words sounded foreign coming from his own mouth. He would’ve thought it was someone else, had he not recognized his own voice. He had stopped the rut of his hips, still buried in you and somehow now absolutely mortified at what had just come out of his mouth. He was wide eyed and tried to speak but was interrupted by your sweet smile.
“I love you, too. I love you, Daryl.” You sighed happily, heart pounding at his admission and from the vigorous activity you had both just partaken in.
He couldn’t help the smile that mirrored yours, anxiety dissipating when you spoke those words back to him. You’d never seen him smile so wide as he tenderly cupped your cheeks, pulling you in for an affectionate kiss that felt more loving than any way he’d kissed you before.
When he pulled away, he tucked some strands of your sweat-dampened hair behind your ear and stroked your cheek, holding in a sigh at the way you contentedly leaned your face into his touch.
You were lost in his adoring look and had completely forgotten where you two were, naked and sweaty up against a desk in the back of your work.
You gasped in a moment of realization.
“Shit, I locked the door an hour ago and haven’t done any paperwork work to get out of here!”
“You want some help cleaning’ up first, honey?”
You grinned at the affectionate nickname, twirling his dark hair in your fingers.
“Please? Then maybe we can go back to mine and cozy up for a bit?”
“Sounds good, sugar.” He replied, kissing you on the forehead and the tip of your nose. You mirrored each other's blissful smiles, lost in one another’s loving gazes.
“Daryl?”
“Hm?”
“I love you.”
“I love you.”

albert wesker hcs pt.3
guys... i'm sorry i'm so obsessed with re1 wesker... but these are for re1 wesker...
cw; cigarettes, lighters, william birkin mentions, alcohol mentions, s.t.a.r.s AND umbrella mentions WHOAAAA, debunking rebesker, rebecca chambers mention, kissing!, a peak into wesker's backstory, if you don't know his backstory please read his wiki page im begging you.
a/n; reader's job is unspecified so how y'all meet is really up to you!
✰ albert smokes. that's no surprise, really. he likes menthols- his preference is marlboro blue 100's, but he keeps a pack of marlboro black reds around too. doesn't like bic lighters, only uses the zippo lighter he was given (thanks Umbrella.)
✰ he meal preps for the week, cleans as he cooks so there's less of a mess after. he tries to clean every few days as his apartment can get disorganized just as quickly as it's cleaned.
✰ speaking of his apartment…
✰ mahogany cabinets, dark granite countertops, with typical white paint on the walls. nothing too expensive, he still has to keep up the appearance of being a normal citizen and not an Umbrella employee. The floors are cheap linoleum in the kitchen and bathroom wood everywhere else. he has minimal furniture- a couch, a bookshelf, a television on a boring black coffee table. his bed is a full, the sheets black and made of inexpensive material.
✰ he's hardly home except to grab food and sleep, so what more does he need than what he already has? zero pictures hanging up, nothing to make it feel like a real home except for the occasional hint of life.
✰ drinks semi-regularly. he likes wines and whiskeys, not so much frothy or carbonated drinks i.e. beers or seltzers. if he's offered a cocktail, he'll take it.
✰ he does try to maintain a relativley okay relationship with the s.t.a.r.s alpha team so he doesn't come off as suspicious, even if he seriously dislikes group outings. once a month, they go out for drinks. he doesn't stay long, just enough to get by without revealing too much about himself.
✰ contrary to popular belief, he doesn't have a thing for rebecca. they had a similar educational experience. he graduated highschool and went to college at an early age, just like she did. they share similarities and he finds that he can talk to her with ease, but he doesn't find himself attracted to her. not to mention that she's eighteen- he has morals.
✰ when you come into his life, he's not expecting it in the slightest. hardly anything catches him off guard, but you, you do something to him. you're not a match on the intellectual level and that's fine, he likes being the one to educate you on certain topics. he likes talking to you because you make him feel good without trying. the ease at which you offer your attention to him is something he should expect, but it's different with you. he's not giving you orders or lecturing you- you're just talking, and you like it, no less.
✰ it's a slow burn despite his clear affection for you, which he wasn't hoping to gain initially. it's not his fault that you're so pretty- just his type, no less- and so nice to him. you always smell good and you're put-together in your appearance. he loves that he can simply say whatever around you and how you nod along, giving him your full attention. he drinks it, gets drunk on it, and saves it for later.
✰ maybe he imagines you in the dead of night to help him sleep. wonders what pajamas you wear, if any, to sleep and how you'd feel pressed firmly against him while snuggling. he dreams of coming home to you after a long day, resting his head in your lap as you talk to him about what happened at work. your fingers thread through his hair, bringing a sense of calm to him.
✰ sometimes he wakes up and thinks you're there. he'll pat the mattress blindly until he realizes that no, he's not living the dream because if he were, you'd be lying next to him.
✰ at umbrella, he's just as determined as he is with his s.t.a.r.s team. he's a brilliant virologist- there's a reason he was employed when he was 17. he's the head researcher for the t-virus project and for the tyrant project, the latter being his own work. he helped william with developing the g-virus as well. he tells william about you. after all, william is the closest friend he has, so why would they not confide in each other?
✰ it's william who tells albert to go for it, to tell you how he feels.
✰ albert listens to classical for the most part. given he grew up when nu-wave was picking up, he listens to some of that, too. think depeche mode. not a big fan of the cure. enjoys the smiths (just like me fr.) he likes piano-centric music and some "dad" rock (as you call it.)
✰ he likes kissing you anywhere and everywhere. in his office, in the car (parked! no unsafe driving for him), taking a walk, while he's smoking, drinking, what have you.
✰ he doesn't let his feelings for you get in the way of work, however tempting it may be. sure, he thinks about you on his lunches and texts you when he can, but out of sight, out of mind. he's committed to his career(s) and though you're important to him, his work is more important. he's married to his work, but so is everyone who works at umbrella. he was manufactured for this, which is why he's there so much. why you two grow apart faster than he'd expected, and even while your relationship crumbles, he's working as much as ever.
