Radioactive Chapter Twenty-Four
Avery sighed as she sat in her room at the CDC. She had had just kissed Daryl on the cheek and she still thought it had been a dumb move. A move she shouldn't have made. She should have known better. He had flinched and she had went too far with his boundaries. She had ruined any hope of even being friends with him.
Frowning she shook her head. She didn't understand why she even cared. It wasn't like she wanted to get close to Daryl but maybe she did. Maybe she was lying to herself, had been lying to herself for awhile. Hell he made her feel safe for a reason. God damn it she was slowly starting to like Daryl and now she could admit that to herself.
Hearing a knock on her door she jumped some but eventually stood up and opened the door. Raising an eyebrow when she saw Shane on the other side she moved aside so he could come in.
Shane forced a smile as he walked inside of Avery's room, "I needed to see you," he slurred as he tried to forget the events of what lead him here to her room. He had tried to rape Lori. He had made a mistake because of his love for his best-friend's wife. A woman who seemed to get under his skin.
"Needed to see me?" Avery asked shutting the door behind him. "What did you need to see me for?" she asked as she chewed on her lip. She hadn't been alone with Shane since the night they had sex on top of the RV. She had deliberately tried to distance herself from him because she felt horrible for letting him use her in his grief with Rick coming back and ruining whatever Shane had with Lori.
Shane nodded as he stepped closer to Avery his hand going to rest on her cheek, "You know what I need you for," he whispered as he inched his face closer to hers. "I need you," he whispered knowing that she'd be a nice distraction from Lori and the almost rape. She could make him forget for a bit that he was in love with his best friend's wife. That he had almost hurt his best friend's wife.
Shivering as Shane rested his hand on her cheek Avery sighed, her eyes landing on the scratch marks on Shane's neck. "You went to her first didn't you?" she asked as she locked eyes with him. "You went to her first and you just wanna use me again," she snapped as she moved away from him.
"I..it's not..I don't want to use you Avery," Shane lied as he stepped closer to Avery again after she moved away from him. "You make me feel better," he smiled before grabbing a hold of her wrist to keep her from getting away again. "Please?" he asked her before leaning in to kiss her.
When Shane kissed her Avery could taste the alcohol on his breath and she knew he was intoxicated. His being intoxicated was probably one of the many reasons Lori had left scratch marks on his neck. The other reasons Avery didn't want to know or think of though so instead she kissed Shane back. She kissed him knowing she'd feel worse because she was letting him use her a second time to get over Lori.

Taylor sighed as he returned to his room. He felt awful for what he had done. He felt awful that he had kissed Kate. That he had kissed his brother's wife, even if it had made him feel alive again. He also hated that fact too because now he no longer wanted to die. No now he wanted to live and keep going. He had to live because he kept hearing Ezra telling him not to miss him too much once he was gone.
Before he even got to his cot he stopped when he heard the door to his room open. Turning around he raised an eyebrow to see Kate standing in his room.
Looking at Taylor, Kate sighed. She wasn't sure why she had came after him or even why she was here now except for the kiss. A kiss that shouldn't have happened because she loved Zac and it had meant nothing to her but she had seen it in his eyes when he told her he was sorry. It had flipped a switch in him. He no longer seemed dead inside. He no longer seemed so hopeless.
"I wanted to say that..well I'm not sure what I wanted to say," Kate spoke honestly as she shook her head and walked closer to Taylor. "I shouldn't have gotten so snappy over a kiss," she shrugged as she chewed on her lip. "We all do weird things over grief."
Taylor nodded giving her a smile, "Some are weirder than others," he spoke as he laughed some. "I mean kissing you, you aren't even my type," he spoke honestly as he eyed her. "But the kiss did make me feel something that I haven't felt since Ezra died."
Kate smiled at Taylor's last words, "I am glad you did feel something and I meant it when I said I wouldn't tell Zac," she said honestly as she pulled Taylor into a hug. "Just don't ever do it again."
Laughing a real laugh at that Taylor squeezed Kate, "I promise I won't do it again Katie. I mean no offense but you aren't even my type."

Avery groaned out as Shane hovered above her. They were both naked now, their clothing having been discarded all around the room and he was now positioning himself at her entrance. She could tell from the look on his face this again wasn't going to be gentle. Hell it hadn't been that gentle on the RV either and she was surprised then that Andrea, Amy or Dale hadn't heard them.
"Fuck," she muttered out as she felt Shane enter her roughly. "Fuck," she muttered again as he wasted no time getting to business with his movements either. Movements that were rough and made Avery hurt. Movements that made her regret the fact that she was having sex with him.
Closing her eyes she let her nails dig into his back and she couldn't help but wish he were someone else. That he was being much more gentle with her. It wasn't like she had been with many men before the world went to shit, at least not that many who she had consented too. It had just been Jeremy, Joe's brother. They had, had sex a few times. Enough that Avery knew the basic ropes of it and enough that she knew she hadn't loved him. She hadn't ever been in love with anyone and as she laid here under Shane she knew she also wasn't in love with him either.
Moving inside of Avery, Shane moved some as he leaned down to kiss her. If he was kissing her with his eyes closed he could pretend she was Lori. He could pretend she was the woman who he loved. The woman who should be his instead of Rick's.
Avery kissed Shane back her nails digging deeper into his back each time he thrust harder inside of her. Opening her eyes slowly she pulled away briefly. Long enough to move them into a sitting position so that she was on top of him. She wanted to be in control now. She wanted to set their pace and she hoped he'd let her. She hoped he'd give up that control to her.
Shivering slightly as Avery kissed his neck once they were sitting up. Shane groaned out as she began to move on him slowly. Too slow for his liking so he reached his hands out to her waist where he moved her faster on his aching cock. He moved her faster and harder which made him smirk.
Avery sighed as Shane moved her faster and she closed her eyes as he kept moving her on him. While he did feel good inside of her she had hoped she could get more enjoyment out of this. She had hoped she could get control of this so they could both get the pleasure from this.
Opening her eyes when she felt herself getting close to her orgasm, Avery kept moving on Shane even as her eyes moved to the door of her room which was open slightly with a figure standing in it.
"D..Daryl," she muttered out right at the very moment her orgasm hit her. It was the mention of his name from her lips that she watched the figure retreat from the door in a hurry as the door closed again and she let her head rest against Shane's shoulder as she felt him come inside of her. She hadn't meant to say Daryl's name but she hadn't been expecting to see him standing in her doorway.
Hearing Avery mutter out the name of the youngest Dixon brother Shane made a face. He knew he was thinking about Lori during this but damn it he had hoped that at least Avery could have been thinking about him. Instead though he knew she was thinking of that redneck piece of trash. That just made him disgusted knowing that man could get Avery wet. That thoughts of him could get Avery off. Why couldn't she see that she should be thinking of him? Why couldn't Lori see that she should want him too? He was the better man out of Rick and out of Daryl.
____________________________________________________________________
Daryl made it back to his room where he slammed the door shut behind him. Going to the cot he sat down putting his head in his hands. He just wanted to forget the image of Avery and Shane. He wanted to forget that he saw them having sex. Forget her saying his name as she reached her orgasm.
"Damn it," he groaned out loud as he felt an arousal building inside of him as his mind again replayed the way his name had sounded coming out of her mouth. The way she had sounded so desperate...so fucking needy. She had wanted him and that thought turned him on even if he was jealous that she had been with Shane. Shane was one of the men who he felt lesser than. He could never be as good as Shane or even Rick. He was half the man they were.
At least in some departments it seemed anyway. Just how much of a man could Shane be if he couldn't get the woman he was fucking off without her thinking of or saying someone else's name.
Hearing a knock on his door he stood up and went to answer it, raising an eyebrow as he came face to face with Avery. "Figured you'd still be in bed with the pig," he muttered as he blocked her way into his room. He may have been turned on slightly because of her but that didn't mean he wanted to talk to her. He didn't do talking.
"I wanted to explain what you saw," Avery spoke as she looked at Daryl once he had opened the door.
Laughing Daryl shook his head, "There ain't nothing to explain little girl," he muttered his tone growing cold. "It's not like you're my woman. You can fuck whoever you want."
"I'm not a little girl. I'm twenty years old," Avery replied back feeling like she had been stung by his cold tone. "And I don't wanna be anyone's woman," she told him her tone growing equally as cold as his. "Just I forget I came here," she spoke as she turned her back to him and walked to her room. If he wanted to be his usual cold self she'd let him be. She should have known better than to even entertain thoughts of a Dixon. She half didn't see what Jessica saw in Merle so how could she see anything in Daryl.
Daryl watched Avery walk away before he shut his door and went back to the cot where he laid down. He knew he had been harsh with her but he didn't want to hear her telling him why she had fucked Shane. It had been like he said she wasn't his woman and she never would be. Daryl wasn't the type of man who dated. He wasn't even experienced with sex at all.
He had been foolish to want to go to talk about the kiss she had given him on the cheek. He had been dumb to let his emotions get in the way, emotions he could place on being drunk. He had been dumb to think she really actually cared for him.

Jessica who had finished crying wiped her eyes when she heard a knock at the door of her room. Standing from the bed she went to answer it and raised an eyebrow as she came face to face with Glenn.
"Can we talk?" Glenn asked her curiously as he stepped into her room without even waiting for an answer. "If I don't do this now I will probably never have the courage."
Eying him Jessica raised an eyebrow, "Do what?" she asked still feeling a bit of the affects of her intoxication.
Glenn hesitated as he looked at her and he chewed on his lip. Now that he stood in front of her he was slowly losing the courage to tell her that he liked her. "Just say that I'm glad you are my friend."
Jessica found herself smiling at his words especially after having her melt down about having no one left now. Maybe she did have one person. She had a friend in Glenn. "I'm glad you are my friend as well Glenn," she nodded as she laughed. "But you could have waited to tell me this tomorrow," she said before walking to her bed and laying back down. "I was trying to sleep."
"R..right," Glenn stuttered as he reached for the door knob. Heading outside he went towards his room feeling like a damn fool. He had just blown his chances of ever telling Jessica how he felt about her.
Avery sighed as she sat in her room at the CDC. She had had just kissed Daryl on the cheek and she still thought it had been a dumb move. A move she shouldn't have made. She should have known better.
