A year spent wondering if life was worth continuing was not a year well spent, at leastAngela Rhodeshad once believed so. However, the last year had tested every inch of her faith in the world and she had quickly come to realize that even though she had spent most of it wondering if tomorrow was worth seeing, it definitely was. The dead rising around them had shown the twenty four year old what life was really about: keeping those closest to you,close. For her, that meant her girlfriend, Tara. The pair had met early in her college days, back when she was a baby nursling and Tara was new to the academy next door, training to become a cop. Despite the serious nature of their chosen professions, the girls were both kind of goofy and an accidental run in at the coffee shop across the road from their buildings (and then another, and then another... and then, well, at that point it started being a little suspicious that they would keep "accidentally" running in to each other like that, even with their proximity) had flourished in to the best year of her life.
Then tragedy struck - in the form of the dead rising. They had known they had to get out of town and they abandoned the little apartment they had just gotten together not even a month before, fleeing to a less urban setting; luckily, they did so before Atlanta became a dead zone. Ever since, the pair had been holed up in an apartment building along with Tara's sister, niece and father. The one apartment had been too cramped for so many people so they had slept in the one next door, more often than not the girls were either found with the rest of Tara's family or out on the ground. They were a great pair and knew how to work around and with each other - a well oiled machine.
Untilhehappened - Brian. The man seemed innocuous albeit a little strange, and Angela had agreed with her girlfriend's gut instinct that this man shouldn't be trusted. Now? Now she was wishing she wasn't right - everything had changed. Eventually, they had to leave the apartments behind. Tara's father passed and it hit Ange as hard as it did the sisters - with her own family miles away on the coast, her girlfriend's father had felt like her own. Eventually they had settled in to a small community and when Brian had spoke of the ill done to him by those at the prison, she had grown to believe that she was on the right side - it wasn't until it was too late that she realized that was not the case. It was not soon enough to stop the ensuing warfare, nor to escape. As the prison fell, she lost sight of the one thing she had left.
Now? Now she trudged along the road with a very persistent woman named Maggie, with her blonde hair in a ponytail and dirt staining the olive green tank top and denim jeans she had been in for days now. Others followed - Sasha, Bob. It had been the latter pair that had allowed her to follow when she ran in to them, and the brunette was on a mission to find her husband. And Angela? Well, she was praying that somehow her own partner had escaped and would find her once more. Neither of the searching women had expected anything positive to come of the truck that passed them, but in the end that had been exactly what they needed.
Are you Maggie?"Three simple words from a man she had never seen were exactly what she needed somehowMaggie Crowellhad been searching for her husband for days, hell-bent on refusing to budge even a second on the fact that theyneededto keep pushing. When those with her wanted to give up, abandon ship, stop the hunt she decided to push on without them but it was also only when those same people urged her that she allowed a blonde to join their ranks. Not before a thorough argument, though. Well, a one-sided argument - Angela had proven that she was calm in the face of adversity, and Maggie had deserved to have a change to vent her frustrations out at some point. Angela had turned in to the vessel, and the older of the women (though only by a couple years) had taken it like a champ.
Maggie had given years of her life to her best friend and favourite (and only) lover, Josh Crowell. The pair had grown up together and fallen in love as teenagers; while they were no longer quite that young they were still just as in love as they had ever been. When the world had first fallen apart and communications had been dropped, Maggie had been left wondering if (when, she had always said) she was going to see him again. Luck was on their side when he had showed up at the farm just days before it had been taken, and ever since they had been inseparable. It had been like they had never been apart - it always felt like that. Josh was in the army and it was not the first time they had been apart - luckily, however, it was the last. When peace came to the prison and all seemed like it would be well, the pair had even gotten married. Sure, it wasn't on paper or anything but a piece of paper mattered little these days. When the prison fell, they had been separated; Maggie had done her damnedest to find him.
Now, though? When a truck stopped in front of them and a large bearded man hopped out of the driver's side, Maggie did not have high hopes for what was about to happen. That is, until she heard the words that came out of his mouth: there were very few ways that man could know her name and she knew - she justknew- that this man had seen Josh. So she ran to the truck, a flurry of never-ending questions that got hushed by the latina still in the passenger seat. The answers became clear once she was able to calm down: these people had just left behind a very insistent pair of people, one of whom was on the hunt for a Maggie. He was with someone though, and as soon as the ginger, Abraham, mentioned the name Tara, Angela had gotten up in his business as well. It didn't take long for the fact that their partners were working together to come to fruition, and while these strangers had wanted to simply head off immediately they had graciously offered to drive the pair to the other side of the tunnel where they had dropped off Josh and Tara.
So that was how they, along with Sasha and Bob, had wound up standing at the block entrance to a train tunnel. Guns raised as two of the living stumbled over loose rocks, and as the dead moved in on them bullets fired. In moments the only beings still standing were the live ones, and both of the girls instinctively ran straight towards their most beloved.

Before the apocalypse, life had been incredible forTara Chambler. Not only was she months away from attaining her dream job, but it appeared she had fallen in love with the right woman. Angela was everything she wanted everything she dreamed about. Their coffee shop was a place of solace somewhere she longed to return again. Before Angela, Tara was involved in a romance throughout her time in college that ended with disloyalty and cheating, crushing her soul. Just when it felt like all hope was lost in life, she met Angela in that coffee shop and not a day had since then had been dull. Even when the world fell apart, Tara managed to find her girlfriend for support. They holed up in an apartment complex with Taras sister, father, and niece. Everything went well for the first year or so until a man named Brian entered their lives. At first, he seemed nice though Tara never trusted him. One by one, Tara slowly lost her family ever since he showed up at their door. Thankfully, not all was lost because Angela was still by her side. Nothing could keep them apart or separate them. Even when fighting the war against the prison, Tara felt like they were on the right side of the battle.
When she found out they were not, everything changed. She tried to do the right thing, to stop Brian from killing these people. Yet, a war started and it separated Tara from her lover. It was the most painful thing in the world as she sprinted through the destroyed prison, avoiding the infected, and searching for the blonde. Not finding her, she ran into one of the guys from the group: Joshua Crowell. He could have killed her maybe he should have for being on the other side. Without him, she would have never survived the prison or survived on the run. He helped her escape and she found out they had something in common: they were both looking for the love of their lives. When Tara felt hopeless, Josh would give her hope that she could see Angela again. That hope made Tara continue fighting each day because she had known this was true. The world had been too cruel so far. Surely it would not take everything from her. Luckily, on the way to Terminus near Virginia, they found tunnels and maps along the railroad with messages from Joshs wife.
Tara held out hope that she might be with Angela. At the least, she did want Josh to reunite with his wife because he was a good, kind man. There were not many of these people left in the world anymore. Thankfully, they were given rides soon after the prison by Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita. Apparently this man Eugene had a cure for the disease but Tara was adamant about finding Angela as Josh was adamant about finding Maggie. Though Abraham wished to drive directly to Washington D.C., he was convinced to take a deviation on the path. Approaching a mountainside railway bridge, Josh and Tara went through the tunnel while the others went around since it was dangerous. Tara had injured her knee earlier but Josh had saved her again by pushing her out of the way of a collapsed tower. Then, in the tunnel, they were cornered and she told Josh to just leave her and escape, but that was not something the male did. He emptied his last bullet into the walkers right before the cavalry showed up. It was in that moment she spotted a familiar set of blonde hair, causing her to stumble towards her girlfriend, calling out her name gently, almost like she was worried that this was not real. Angela?
It was not the first timeJoshua Crowellhad been separated from his wife. Before the outbreak, he joined the United States Army. Corporal Crowell went overseas for his first tour about six months before the outbreak started. It should have lasted a year, but it was cut short because of the walker apocalypse. All military personnel were rushed home to the United States for defense against the outbreak. Since it was a global disaster, his first encounter with the walking dead occurred in the Middle East. After eliminating enemies that pinned them down on a ridge, all dozen of those dead men walked again. There had been rumors about this happening, but Joshs unit witnessed it firsthand. It told them how important it was to get home. When Josh arrived home at the airport in Virginia, communications were dead. Forced to travel, mostly on foot, from Virginia to the Greene Farm in Georgia, he finally found his way back. Only days before the fall of the farm, Josh arrived and was reunited with Maggie Greene. Despite the circumstances, Josh always knew they would find each other again. Their love was too strong to not reunite.
Their families had always been close and the couple were best friends ever since toddlerhood. That moment when they saw each other again was magnificent. Josh was in tattered clothes, blood dried all over his body, with dirt and grime all over his face. It was a difficult journey, but he made it home. Unfortunately, he had no clue about the rest of his family. His father was still active military and highly ranked. Lately, he was re-stationed in Vermont and his mother moved with him. All he could do was hope they made it somewhere safe. At the least, he was thankful for being with Maggie. When they found the prison and hit a patch of 30 days without an accident and with peace, the couple had a little ceremony in the courtyard. Since that day, Josh had never taken the wedding band off his finger and never saw a time when he would. In fact, just looking down at the ring gave him motivation to keep fighting in these times. After the prison fell, Josh had tried to search for Maggie in the prison but could not find her. Instead, he ran into Tara Chambler who started out on the other side of the war.
Yet, the kindness and soldier in him that wanted to help everyone won out. He escaped with Tara as the bus drove away. Having no idea how long they were together looking for their beloveds, they were taken to a tunnel near Terminus up in Virginia. Thanks to Maggies signs on the way, he knew where they were going. In the tunnel, hope was lost, though. Walker after walker piled through. Tara was hurt but Josh refused to leave her. Just seconds before Maggie, Angela, and the others arrived, Josh emptied the very last bullet of his pistol and then tried to boost Tara up over the rubble as the dead closed in. In the blinking of an eye, bullets flew from overhead, mowing down the walkers. When Josh looked to see who climbed over the rubble, he spotted the one woman he had craved to see. As Tara ran to Angela, Josh ran to Maggie. When they collided, Josh did not say a word. Instead, his arms wrapped around the brunette and pushed her against the tunnel wall. His lips devoured Maggies, sliding his tongue in between her lips. His eyes closed tightly just in case this was a fantasy that would go away when they opened. Maggie. He breathed out, almost like he thought he had seen a ghost in front of him. Josh was not entirely sure this was real.

Angela couldn't help but feel serene as she pulled the brunette in to her arms, hands clasping at Tara's shoulders while she simply took a minute to rest her head in the crook of Tara's neck and breathe in reality. Okay, this was real. This was very, very real - and damn it, no one was going to take this away from her now. After Angela had a moment to truly appreciate holding Tara in her arms once again, something she had worried she would never do again, she pulled away. With her hands on Tara's shoulders, bent at the elbow with a little distance between them, Ange simply smiled. Not some little, fake smile - there was genuine joy on her face as a wide grin took over. While Angela had stayed overall hopeful about finding Tara once again, she also knew that in a world like this it was best not to get your hopes up. So, this was what she had hoped for in a world where she was prepared for the worst: in a way, knowing the chances had been slim just made this meeting even more amazing.
With that smile still on her lips, Angela's thumb stroked Tara's cheek and she leaned in. With the space between them gone once more Angela could do little other than kiss the other woman; soft but with so much happiness that she thought she might start crying if she didn't let go quickly. Tears be damned she was going to get her fill of her girlfriend, though, and somehow the blonde managed to hold them back. When she pulled away her fingers were still gingerly touching Tara's cheek, and there was no hiding the glossy sheen in her eyes; in her defense, they were happy tears and she had not actually started crying yet. Everything about Angela was soft - from her curves to the waves in her hair to the quiet, affectionate tone she used like Tara was an angel sent to her specifically. She wasn't timid, medicine had no place for those who couldn't stand their own ground, but she was a hopeless romantic and a dreamer; optimistic but cautious. She was someone who could see the worst in the world and still manage to find hope and happiness, and moments like this were why. "Hey beautiful, I've been looking for you."
What were the chances? Out of all of the things that could have happened they had found each other, through strangers they had never before met but both owed for the damage they had rallied behind. Angela didn't believe in coincidences; in her eyes, everything that happened was for a reason. Perhaps in the end this was where they were meant to be, together and on the right side of the battle. Whether that was true or not, Angela felt indebted to both Maggie and Josh - and all of the others too.
As soon as bodies collided Maggie was pushed against the wall of the tunnel, hands on her hips and hot breath on her lips as she and her husband wasted no words. Their tongues danced together in her mouth and Josh wasn't overtly rough, no, but he wasn't exactly gentle as he pinned her between his muscular form and concrete. Maggie's hands did not hesitate to grab at him, first at the sides of his shirt then trailing up; his back, his shoulders, his hair, his face. The way that the pair kissed was passionate and just a hint of desperate, and though Maggie hadknownthat this moment was going to come, that didn't change how overwhelmingly relieved she felt when she was able to have his hands on him again. While the pair had been apart many times over the years, Maggie had never been able to quell her worries even though she knew that one day he would come back to her. Once upon a time, that had been because she knew deep in her heart that there had been the chance he wouldn't. Now? Now there should have been no reason for them to be pried apart. They had both agreed after they had reunited back at her daddy's farm that they weren't supposed to leave each other alone again. Of course, neither of them could have been prepared for the Governor's final attack and it was neither of their faults that they weren't able to keep that promise.
"I knew you'd be alright," she breathed as she continued to hold him close. She held on to his face even as they pulled apart, bodies still pressed together and the wide, tight-lipped smile on her lips said all that it needed to. She wasn't done kissing him just yet though, and she leaned back in to steal another from him. While she generally did not initiate tongue action, not with other people around at least, that kiss was no simple peck - no kiss they shared was devoid of the emotion and passion between them, and the situation they were in only enhanced that passion and need for each other. Maggie honestly would have been happy to keep kissing him forever but unfortunately that was not a viable option right now. She had been right about Josh taking this path - that meant there was a good chance that others had come across the signs to Terminus as well. As much as she wished to stay in this world where they were the only people around, now that she knew he was okay her focus switched to figuring out if anyone else was.
"I think the others might have come this way, too. They're smart, they're alive. We should try to find them." She didn't let go of him, not for a second, as she spoke but there was a light in her eyes, an optimistic hope that they weren't the only ones left. Maggie always put others before herself, sometimes to the point that she didn't consider her own needs. Her wanting to seek out the rest of the prison group was no surprise, but even as she spoke she still couldn't even consider letting go of her husband just yet.

The entire world faded away. It was something that Tara had never felt before. The womans focus was on tunnel vision. The only object in her focus was none other than Angela. Like always, the blonde fitted perfectly in her arms. If she did not know better, Tara daresay some higher power created their bodies a certain way and in a certain form. The feeling of those arms around Taras body made the dark-haired female melt. Being a police officer was not an occupation where unraveled emotions were allowed. Therefore, Tara Chambler kept those emotions in check for most of her life. Although she tried to remain strong, Tara broke down into tears. It was not often this happened. She especially tried to keep her tears pulled back around Angela. The one thing she hated more than crying was crying in front of those she cared about and that cared about her. After the hug, Tara pulled back but her hands remained wrapped around the womans shoulders. Sniffling quietly, Tara shook her head and let out a soft chuckle at how girly she was acting right now. Could one blame her, though? Tara and Angela were deeply in love.
Even if they both truly believed they would find one another again, it was only human to worry and feel a rush of emotions once they reunited. After all, Tara had never felt this way about someone before in her life. Angela brought emotions out that Tara did not know she was capable of feeling. It was ironic that Angela was able to hold back her tears yet Tara did not. Sometimes, it was the other way around. Either way, her focus was not on crying for too long. Instead, she kissed her girlfriend back with all the passion she could. Yet, the kiss was still soft and sweet delicate to the touch. Their lips were sensitive together and it sent a tingle down the womans spine. Since it had been so long without those lips, Tara felt a rush of electricity. After the blonde finally started talking, Tara could not hold herself back from diving back in for another, quicker kiss. Hey, you. I had a feeling you were. Newsflash Ive been looking for you, too. She had ignored the others for now. Though she wanted to thank every single person here because they played a role in their reunion, but she could not take her eyes off Angela yet.
I I knew that we would see each other again. Ive missed you. Oh, my God Angela I cant ever let you out of my arms again. He whispered softly, nuzzling their noses together. Her hands started to stroke through her long hair, threading her fingers through the blonde locks. Promise me that we wont ever leave each others side again. I cant take losing you. I cant stand the thought. Tara whispered, unable to release her from her arms.
The touch was electric. Josh felt every hair on his body stand on end. The way her hands moved around his torso, face, and hair made him feel incredible. If it were not for the physical touch, Josh might not believe this was happening. I always knew Id find you. I saw the signs. I followed them. I knew you were here. Joshua breathed out softly against her mouth. Its official, Maggie. Weve been apart from each other too damn much now. Its never happening again. I dont give a damn what the world throws at us now. Josh should have ran off the bus with Maggie immediately at the prison. It was a decision he regretted ever since it happened. However, that was in the past and it was truly neithers fault. A line was drawn in the sand. Combined this with training for the army, his first tour Joshua was confident that not a second between them should ever elapse where they were not holding each other. Like Josh said never again will that happen. His hands remained on her hips, gripping tightly while he made out with Maggie. Their tongues wrestled together, pinning hers underneath his own.
When the woman decided to pull away and mention the group, Josh agreed. Youre right, Princess. Josh had always used that nickname for Maggie. The first time he called her that was at their middle school dance. It was something he had seen a boyfriend call his girlfriend on some television program. The girl liked it so Josh tried it. Maggie appeared to enjoy the pet name and it stuck ever since. Im sure theyll be behind us. Theyll meet us at Terminus. Thats where they would go. We know them well enough. Sighing softly, Josh pressed their foreheads together before stealing one final kiss from her lips. His gaze turned towards the reunited couple and smiled to himself. Guess were not the only reunion, huh? What are the odds you were with Angela? Im glad today happened. Though Josh pulled away from Maggie, he did keep both of her hands held with his own. Abraham and Eugene were arguing with each other about something while Rosita spent her own time watching the reunions and kicking rocks. I guess you met these three already: they helped myself and Tara get here. The tall ones Abraham, Eugene is the other guy, and then theres Rosita.
Before saying anything else, Josh pondered how he could break the news to Maggie about Eugene. They say they say Eugene is some scientist that has a cure for this. Theyre trying to get him to Washington D. C. If anything, Maggie should know that Josh was skeptical. The male was always logical and pragmatic. He hesitated to believe outlandish things. The skepticism was clear in his voice. I dont know what to think it sounds crazy, but he sounds like he knows what hes talking about. All Josh could do was shrug. At least she knew what she was getting into. Now, Josh wondered if they would stay in the tunnel for the night, keep moving, or part ways to Terminus. Even if those three wanted to reach D.C., Josh was set on finding Terminus to reunite with the group. Come on, babe. Lets see what theyre thinking, ok?

If never letting go of Tara ever again had genuinely been an option, Angela would have taken it. However, the best they could get was that there was to be no more splitting up. The prison had marked the first time they had truly been apart since the start and if walking away from each other just once caused this much mayhem, Angela wasnotwilling to risk another seperation. Hell, if that meant she followed Tara so she could take a piss then so be it - not like there was any space left in this world to be shy about bodily functions anyways.
"I'm not going anywhere, I promise babe," came Ange's sweet reply as she stole one more kiss, and for a few minutes the girls simply focused on each other. That didn't last long enough - but there would never be a "long enough", at least in Angela's eyes. She could spend the rest of her life doing nothing but looking at or kissing or touching Tara and that still would not be enough; the brunette was her first and only love, and she couldn't imagine it any other way. Maybe it was cheesy to consider Tara her soulmate but Angela genuinely did; somehow, some way they were made for each other. They had their squabbles but never real fights; voices were never raised, they never got truly angry with each other. Any time they had a problem with something the other said or did, things could be worked out calmly, and they were able to disagree with each other without making that personal. As far as relationships came and went, they were damn near perfect (because Angela, while ever the optimist, believed perfection was an ideal and not something that could truly be reached).
They had to split, though; they could not stay in the tunnel forever and Angela listened intently to the conversation forming between everyone else. All the while she stood behind Tara with her arms wrapped around the woman's waist and her neck against her shoulder. They would have to talk about who, if anyone, they wanted to follow after all was said and done but right then Maggie had a point: for now, everyone should probably rest. It had been a long day and Ange wanted to be able to sit down and check out that ankle of Tara's that she had sprained earlier on. "I say we stay," came her vote.
I ran in to her not long after we had to leave, if it wasn't for Bob I probably would have left her behind," Maggie admitted to her husband after he mentioned the fact that she just so happened to have ran in to the girlfriend of his partner on their quest in reuniting. That statement alone said alot about Maggie's frame of mind while she had been searching for Josh; normally, she was an incredibly selfless person who would give the shirt off of her own back to help someone in need. With the prison down and her love torn from her once again, she had become a mess. That girl's background didn't help at all - and while Angela probably didn't deserve the way Maggie had lashed out at her when they had first met, both of the women knew it was fear and worry speaking. Now that everyone was in a calmer place, she was going to have to make a point to properly apologize for her behaviour - it didn't befit her.
As Josh explained who the people in the truck were, Maggie couldn't help but be interested. Like her husband, she was also skeptical at best - the possibility of a cure sounded like a longshot and frankly like a story her father would have told her to make her feel better had she been young when this began.Her father- never again was she going to see Herschel. He was never going to hug her again, never hold her when she was worried, never get to be a grandfather if one day she ended up having a baby. That was heartbreaking in it's own right but right now she needed to keep pushing on. The others were smart and as long as they had found the signs, they would have followed them. For all she knew, everyone else was already at Terminus and waiting for them. Beth, Rick, Daryl, Carl, Judith... They were all going to be there. Now that she had Josh back she could focus on the others.
And these people? She would hear them out. Maybe if they sounded legitimate they could consider following along - after everyone had reunited. Even then, she wasn't going anywhere without Josh. The pair were definitely on the same page about never leaving eachothers' side again - while neither of them could have expected to get split up like they did when Maggie had left the bus, nothing was worth the worry of being split again. Surprisingly enough Abraham, Rosita and Eugene agreed to detour but not for long. They wanted the extra hands and Maggie was clear that as long as Josh was okay with it, they would for sure have two pairs on their side as long as they waited for a bit so that the pair could find out if their friends were alright.
"I say we stay for the night; Tara's hurt, and we're all tired. It's getting late. What's everyone's thoughts on that?" She suggested to everyone. Her opinion of what they should do mattered no more than anyone else's and while she was open to suggesting a plan she was not going to force anyone in to doing something they did not want to.

In the following minutes, Tara introduced Angela to the others just like Josh had done for Maggie. When she covered Josh, she ensured to point out her gratitude towards him for she would have probably been dead multiple times if he had not intervened. In turn, she would have never saw Angela again. When the small group debated on their actions for the night, the young woman had no other choice but to support her girlfriend. After all, she felt the same way, too. The feeling of being hugged from behind was a glorious one so Tara placed her hands over the blondes against her abdomen.
I agree with Angela and Maggie. We need to recover for the night. Its dark anyways. Nothing good happens late in this world we live in now. Lets just take a night to rest. It was clear that Abraham did not want to wait. Rosita appeared indifferent but Eugene was adamant about staying in the tunnel. He wanted to help these people, get them to Terminus. Though Abraham was defiant at first, he finally relented. It might be good to recover for the night and to recover at Terminus. It only made his job more difficult but Abraham would do it. So, he decided to take the first watch of the night and sat down away from the others.
Now that they had a chance to see each other again, Tara wanted to take full advantage. Rosita and Eugene parted separately as well. Bob and Sasha took another corner. It was time for rest. So, Tara limped her way towards one of the nearby walls and slid down, pulling Angela with her. You know, its not that bad She hummed though Tara knew it was worse than she let on. The only reason she could still walk was adrenaline. Thankfully, she had a sexy nurse that could help with that problem.
I know Im in good hands now. I know youll take care of me. So, whatever I need to do, nurse just tell me. Grinning, Tara pressed a kiss onto Angelas cheek, reaching down to grasp one of her hands. This was not the first time that Tara heavily played on the idea of Angela being the sexy nurse. Tara would have lied if she had not fantasized about her in some short little nurse costume before while working on her. But for now, this was perfect. She attempted to pull the pants leg of her jeans up though winced while trying to move.
Of course, Josh agreed with his wife. It would do everyone well for a night of sleep without running for their lives. Granted, a tunnel was not the most ideal location but it was better than nothing. With a little resistance, the small group finally decided they would stay the night and regroup tomorrow morning. It could not have been determined fast enough for Josh because he was immediately pulling Maggie towards an open area. In his bag was a sleeping bag they used before: they liked to camp together in the woods of their Georgia home. It was the same sleeping bag they had used the past couple years. It might not have been a bed or mattress, but it was better than sleeping on the road. Others were not as fortunate, just folding blankets to lay underneath their bodies. For the first time since being reunited, Josh released his wife for only a mere second. These few seconds were spent unrolling the bag and preparing to get some rest, using one of their old, deflated pillows. After it was unrolled, Josh turned to face Maggie on his knees, resting a hand gently on her thigh.
Lets get some rest, beautiful. He whispered softly before stealing another kiss from her lips. Josh crawled in first, propping up onto his side. That hand never left her body, moving from her thigh to her ass to her waist and finally to her shoulder once she settled into the bag as well. The proximity was needed. Since their last night together on the prison, Josh had not felt a warm body against his own. That same arm wrapped around Maggies head, letting her head use his forearm as a pillow. I love you so fucking much and I missed you like crazy. I know Ive said that already but Im so happy that youre back where you belong now. I couldnt sleep. I couldnt eat. I couldnt function without you, Maggie. Youre my entire world. Now, his free hand started threading through her hair. Their legs were laced together, Josh tossing one in between hers. After gazing into her eyes for another second, the male pressed a firm kiss onto her lips. This kiss quite similarly resembled their first kiss during their earlier reunion. His tongue pried immediately into her mouth, searching for a dance with the womans tongue, too.
Joshs head tilted to the side, giving himself a chance to deep the kiss. The one hand in her hair slowly slipped down, gripping one of her hands and holding it against his chest. Once her hand was directly over his beating heart, Josh paused long enough to say something sweet and loving. It only beats for you, Maggie. The only reason it still works is you. I love you more than I could ever explain in words. So, Josh tried to show in actions just how much he missed her and loved her. Their relationship was incredible. Their marriage was incredible. Not many kids grow up and fall in love at a young age to have it last. Most relationships that started around their age ended after a few weeks but not them. Josh knew she was his forever.

"We won't know how bad it is until we check it out, babe. I've watched people walk in to the hospital on a broken leg before, adrenaline is a hell of a drug." Once the decision to stay still for the night had been decided, everyone began to split their own ways while still within Abraham's watch. Angela and Tara weren't the only people reunited today, and everyone needed rest. Besides, Angela didn't much mind the fact that everyone wasn't staying super close - that gave her the chance to be as close to alone with Tara as she had been in days. Of course, Angela knew that her girl liked the idea of her all dressed up in a short skirt, working over her. Angela felt the same way about Tara being a cop - both were things they had used on the other, whether it be Tara having a cold or Angela thieving her girlfriend's clothes.
"I'm sorry, but this is probably going to hurt. I have to poke around a bit, we don't exactly had x-rays any more." Angela gave her girlfriend a quick kiss and an apologetic frown as she pried Tara's pant leg as best as she could from skin. After another little frown she rolled Tara's leg at the knee so she could get a better angle. After clicking a flashlight on, she was able to get a good look. Unfortunately she did have to touch though - but luckily, between the fact that she had only been a month shy of finishing school and that Tara's sister had been a great help in making sure she felt up to par about her abilities, Angela could comfortably say that Tara would be fine after some observation. Her ankle was bruised and sore to the touch, but from what she could tell simply sprained rather than broken. It would probably hurt for a couple days, but that was much better than the alternative.
"Good news: not broken. Bad news: your best bet to heal up fast is to not move and I don't think that's really an option - and it's going to hurt like a bitch." Carefully, Angela pulled Tara's pant leg back down and then shimmied her way over so that she was beside the woman. She had little more than a bag with some clothes in it, so they weren't in for a very comfortable night. They'd managed to snag a spare blanket to put under them but that was about it. However, her backpack wasn't the worst pillow; one of them could take that and the other could cuddle up - both breasts and tinnies made for good pillows, and that wouldn't be anything new for them. "Bag or boobs?" Angela asked as she raised an eyebrow, referring to which possible pillow Tara would prefer.
To release Josh, even just long enough for him to roll out a sleeping bag, was hard for Maggie. While their reuniting was very much real, she still couldn't shake the possibility that as soon as she let go he would vanish. Therefore, her fingers ended up gently touching his back as he prepped their campsite for the night. She felt bad having a rather comfy sleeping bag while everyone else was stuck with thin blankets or worse, but there was nothing she could do about that. Wishing wouldn't change anything though, and she still wouldn't give up this night for anything. While Maggie was generally quite independent and very capable of looking after herself, Josh was her weakness. When it came to him she could be quite needy - keeping him close was mandatory, especially now, and even when she didn't realize it she had a tendency of hovering close to the male. They were almost always touching, even if that touch happened to be a few fingers barely brushing against skin like she had done as he was preparing. It came so naturally to her that she didn't even realize that she did it any more.
"That sounds like an amazing idea," Maggie said as she climbed in to the sleeping bag and was immediately greeted by sweet words and Josh's hand running through her long brown hair. Like him she couldn't keep her hands off of him and with their legs tangled together and bodies flush together, she held on to him by the waist until he kissed her. At that point one of her hands grasped tight a the fabric of his abdomen while the other trailed up his side, over his chest and to his neck. The way she held his head in her hand was gentle but eager, pulling him in to her as much as she could. His tongue pressed to her lips and she gave way, meeting his kiss with just as much of a need as he had. When his held tilted hers did the same in sync, deepening their kiss even further, and they were lost in each other when he pulled the hand on his shirt up towards his chest. Maggie couldn't help but sigh as she felt his heartbeat flutter beneath her fingertips.
"I'm not sure what I would have done if I didn't find you, Josh. I knew I would, but I couldn't stop worrying that..." Her voice trailed off and she was emotional as she spoke; instead of finishing her sentence she grabbed his hand and pressed it to her own chest in return, above her breast where her heart worked away beneath the bone. "I'm nothing without you, I need you here. I love you too much to ever lose you."

At least her ankle wasnt broken. A sprained ankle was much preferred. Besides, considering the fact that Tara could have easily died when that tower collapsed or when the walkers cornered her and Joshua, a sprained ankle was such a small thing. Of course, it did hurt like a bitch and Tara constantly bit down on her tongue and lower lip to keep from yelling. Thankfully, she was in the best hands, knowing that Angela would do everything she could to assist. When the blonde finished her assessment and offered a diagnosis, Tara wanted to chuckle. How ironic was that the best way to recover was lay around and take it easy? When was the last time she was afforded that opportunity? Well, I guess youll have to let me lean against you when we walk. Maybe it wont be too bad after all. After a night of sleeping on the ground and the cessation of adrenaline, it might feel impossible to walk in the morning. Therefore, Tara would need all the help she could get. It was no question that Angela would help her out however necessary. Whenever they got to touch, even if it was something like practically making her carry Tara because of a bum ankle, was electric. That enough was relieving of the pain.
Now they were both ready for sleep, Taras smile brightened at her question. Just when shit was going sour, Tara found Angela (or the other way around, really) and everything had changed. So, even now before sleep with her ankle hurting like crazy and uncertainty about tomorrow, Tara smiled. What do you think? Tara quirked as if that had to be a question she needed to ask. Honestly, a pillow was rarely used between them. They often took turns using the others breasts for a pillow. Tara, being the little tease that she was, nestled her head against the soft mounds of flesh and kissed each breast once with a sly little grin on her face. After situating herself, Tara reached down to grab her girlfriends hand and hold it. Unsurprisingly, the dark-haired woman fell asleep almost immediately. She did not wake until the next morning when Abraham was busy with getting everyone prepared to leave. It seemed that Eugene talked him into even going to Terminus as well so they had a chance to recover before heading to D.C.
When Tara woke, she stole a kiss from Angela before grunting about how much pain she felt this morning. She was unable to move by herself, needing her help when they stood up and made the short walk to the truck. From here, they would have to follow the remaining signs along the railroad tracks. Hopefully, it would lead them to the promised land they knew as Terminus.
Almost one-and-a-half years into the apocalypse, sleep was traditionally difficult to find. It had been approximately a week since the prison fell. Those six or seven nights without Maggie in his arms felt worse than anything ever endured in his life before. It was only natural that the first night reunited with his wife significantly improved his mood. With the form of Maggie Crowell in his arms again, Josh found sleep easily. Joshua and Maggie shared one final goodnight kiss before falling asleep. It was a dreamless sleep for the young man, waking up the next morning when everyone else started bustling around. When his blue eyes opened, the first thing he saw was Maggies beautiful face. Her body was positioned directly against his (just like he remembered her when he fell asleep last night). It was a giddy moment when Josh realized that Maggie had not been waken by the others, he took the opportunity to rouse her in a more appealing manner. Their lips connected and stayed connected until her green orbs peered into his. It brought a smile onto his face and the next two minutes were spent with a flurry of good morning kisses and cuddles.
Although they needed to get moving, Josh found it difficult to force himself up from the sleeping bag. When Maggie and the others were ready to get moving, Josh packed up his backpack and held his wifes hand to the truck. During the drive, Josh sat in the backseat with Maggie sitting on his lap to save room. His arms were both wrapped around her waist, passing time during their day trip by kissing her neck and shoulder constantly. By nightfall, they were approaching Terminus according to the road signs near the railroad. They pulled outside the gates and parked the vehicle. One-by-one, the group filed out of the truck and approached the gate when it opened. Even though this should have been a sanctuary, Josh was still on high alert. It was silent and tranquil, looking almost unaffected by the apocalypse. It looked too good to be true. They approached a courtyard where a woman was tending to laundry.
The woman turned around and introduced herself as Mary. She appeared friendly and wanted to make them a plate of food because they must have been weary and tired from traveling. She looked unassuming, like a harmless motherly figure. The pair followed Mary deeper into Terminus without a clue about what they were about to do. This looks good so far. Josh whispered into his wifes ear, peppering another kiss against her cheek as well.

Angela would carry Tara if need be - that wouldn't be first, the girls were pretty silly with each other at times and both of them had taken the role of piggy-backer at one point or another. Besides, if that kept Tara in as little pain as possible then Angelawantedto do it. However, when morning came and everyone was getting ready to get on their way, Tara seemed to want to tough it out. Angela stuck close to Tara's side the entire time that they were walking to the truck, supporting her so she could keep pressure off of her one leg, and during the trip to Terminus she kept Tara close. The pair stayed hand in hand throughout the trip, talked about everything that had happened since they had been separated (though Angela had not been comfortable talking about the prison with the company they had) and mused about the good that Terminus would hopefully hold. Little did they know they were in for trouble - but there was no way that they could have known that.
Even once they were there, Angela was ever hopeful. In fact, despite everything the blonde's faith that the world was good had not been ruined. As they walked through she kept Tara close, allowing the brunette to lean on her. They were welcomed with open arms and even offered a meal - though the happiness could not last forever. Everyone had been too focused on the here and now (including if they should trust this place) that they missed the snipers hidden on rooftops, and before they knew what was happening they were surrounded on the ground by members of Terminus. They had been asked to put aside their weapons when they had entered, and while everyone had been concerned about doing so they agreed - this left the group unarmed as a man attempted to order them around, herding them like lost sheep. The first thing that Angela did was stand her ground and put herself between Tara and one of the guns.
Like her husband, Maggie remained on high alert as they walked through the fences and were guided deeper in to Terminus. While all seemed well, it didn't take long for the brunette to get a bad feeling about being there and she stayed close to Josh, alerting him of her concern as soon as she felt like. She didn't know why, but her intuition had a tendency of being right. For example, despite the relative peace at the prison part of her had justknownthat something bad was going to happen that day: the only thing she hadn't known was what. Once again she was getting that feeling and Maggie refused to chalk it up to paranoia caused by the recent loss of her family. Not only the death of her father and separation from both Josh and Beth, who she had been praying to see when she arrived here, but also for the others - everyone at the prison, especially those who had come with Rick to the farm, also felt like family to Maggie.
Maggie's faith was being tested, however. Not only did she not catch sight of anyone else she kept dear to her, but once again trouble struck just as she had expected. The people of Terminus had moved them inwards simply to keep them from an easy escape it seemed, as when the only exit was out of sight several people moved in with guns raised. It took only moments for her to scan the area around her, and she grabbed tight to Josh's hand as her heart raced in her chest. It didn't take a genius to realize that they had very little chance of escape without someone getting hurt. The friendliness had been a ruse, one meant to get their guard down. While Maggie wasn't sure why just yet, she knew that no reason could be good.
"What do you want?" She called out, cool expression not breaking even though she was starting to feel like a mess.

Ever the optimist, Tara was not feeling a significant amount of distress. The woman seemed nice. The others were friendly. She only felt disappointed that nobody else that Josh and Maggie knew were present. Though Tara did not personally know these people from the prison, these people were clearly important to the man that helped her survive long enough to hold Angela again. She wanted to see him find his people now that he had found his wife. The deeper they walked, the more relaxed Tara became, unfortunately. It was not until they were surrounded by the armed men and women. They were like vultures, circling them and cornering them. At the mention of dropping all weapons, Tara immediately started to toss down her gun and knives. Fighting would have been a grave mistake. Yet, when Angela stepped in front of her and basically shielded her, Tara wanted to kiss her and slap her at the same time. If something ever happened to Angela risking her life for her, then Tara would not have known what to do. One of the men that approached to remove their weapons and frisk the small group smirked at the pair, clearly noticing Angelas move.
I bet you two are feisty pretty ones are always feisty. A dry chuckle left his lips as the mans hands roamed down Taras body. Soon enough, all members had been frisked and they were being directed towards the opposite side of the compound. There was a small train car where they were going to be held. While they were walking, Tara held onto her girlfriends hand. Not only was it for physical support, but emotional support. Tara could not lie she was scared as hell. Yet, just touching Angelas hand made things feel so much better even if they were up shit creek without a paddle. They reached the empty train car and were forced inside with nothing but the clothes on their back. Behind them, the doors closed and locked with receding footsteps. Shit we have to find a way out. Tara stated the obvious, but escape appeared next to impossible.
It was difficult to explain with words, but Josh felt a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. When not a single soul from their group was found within the walls of Terminus, Josh felt like something was wrong. As they were given a tour of the place and taken deeper into the sanctuary, he also noted the lack of human presence. If this was a true sanctuary, shouldnt more people be around? When Maggie grabbed his hand, Josh happily laced their fingers together while his eyes scanned the walls. Just before Josh was preparing to express a desire to leave, the men and women of Terminus had the small group surrounded and cornered. Only when they were ordered to drop their weapons did Josh release his wifes hand. Soon enough, all weapons and bags of Joshs belongings were on the floor.
Spotting where the guns were located, he stood in between the barrels and Maggie. Taking a bullet for someone was a huge deal. In fact, many liked to believe that he or she would take a bullet for a loved one. When push came to shove, not nearly as many would actually do it. For Josh, taking a bullet seemed like a small deal compared to the things he would do for Maggie. It was not even done with thinking. Stepping up to guard her was like an instinct to him as his hand reached backwards, resting on her arm.
After being led to the train car and locked inside, Josh waited until the captors were out of earshot. I have no idea how we get out. The only idea I have is waiting until they open the door again and attack and hope we can grab the guns but thats not exactly the smartest thing to do. While it was discussed, Josh reached down for Maggies hand again. This was a sick game. They just found each other a couple days before only to find themselves back into a hell of a situation that teetered them close to death. Josh had no clue what these people wanted.

They were left up shit creek without a paddle - weapons dropped, surrounded, then herded like cattle in to what appeared to be an old shipping container. It didn't take long for everyone to find out that they were locked in, and at that point they really did have to work on finding a way out. They would be dead meat in here, even Angela could see that and she liked to see the good in everything around her.
"Fuck, Tara," she cursed under her breath. Attempts on all parts were quickly appearing fruitless and everyone was getting frustrated. Even Angela, patience-of-a-saint Angela, was getting annoyed and she had once spent an hour straight trying to explain the importance of blood thinners during an extended hospital stay to a particularly argumentative patient without so much as breaking a sweat. To hear her swear (outside of the bedroom at which point a stream of breathy "fucks" was common, at least) wasnotcommon. Eventually she had began to pace and and it was only with a gentle touch from her girlfriend that she relented and just sat down. No one was going to figure out anything by getting stressed.
It was only moments later that gunshots rang out beyond the container they were in, and moments later loud voices that were not quite audible. It appeared to be that someone else had fallen in to the trap that they had what... three? four? hours ago. They couldn't have been there long, but time was blurring together with nothing but four claustrophobic walls around them.
Josh was right - to simply barge out and attempt to take charge would be a death sentence. This was an us versus them scenario and there were more than them; fighting back when they didn't have the upper hand would be dangerous. That didn't change that Josh's idea was the only one thatanyoneappeared to have. Maggie did her best to remain calm but that was not easy. By the time that guns began to fire outside, pretty much everyone had retired to sitting along the edges of the box car in their pairs or groups. Everyone was thinking of a possible solution but none were coming to mind.
As soon as there were signs of life outside, Maggie hopped to her feet. While she stayed away from the door, lest it be open and she end up grabbed by some sicko whose intentions she did not even know, she did move close to the wall. With her ear pressed against the metal wall, she was vaguely able to make out words.Archer, samurai, ringleader- Daryl, Michonne and Rick? Was Maggie getting her hopes up to interpret three benign words to mean so much? It was only after she questioned her instinct that she became confident in the owner of the other voices outside -Rick.
"Guys! Guys it's Rick," she explained to the others. Because her and Josh never wandered far from each other, he was within arms reach when she blindly held her hand out to him. She had been right - the others would come here. Now if only they had known that they were walking in to a trap. Either way, with Rick and the others around there was more hope that they could get out of here before something bad happened. They were yet to know what they were even being held for and Maggie didnotwant to find out.
Moments later, after an instruction for Rick to open the door lest his son get killed, light flooded the train car and several familiar faces entered: Rick, Michonne, Carl, Daryl and Glenn.

The sound of gunshots firing presented false hope for Tara. Were they being saved?Obviously. Who the fuck would be saving you right now, Tara?After scolding herself, the girl stayed near the back of the train car with her girlfriend as they waited. The voices were not as plain to Tara as it was to Maggie, but when the other woman informed the pair that it was someone named Rick, Tara thought back. Rick was the leader of their group, the leader of the prison. On the plus side, it sounded like Rick was a good guy that could help them figure a way out. On the negative side of things, Tara was on the opposing side of Rick during the war at the prison.
The feeling brought a sinking feeling to the pit of her stomach and she squeezed the womans hands. It was something she brought up to Josh before. If they find his group, wouldnt they be pissed at her and Angela? After all, they were with the Governor (even if they did not know his true, evil nature). Yet, Josh assured her that he could vouch for Tara. She hoped that Maggie could vouch for Angela. This Rick better be a trusting person.
It was ambivalent when the older man entered the train car. He did glance Tara and Angelas way, but he did not make a sound. The others that followed also appeared to be members of the group. Since it was a reunion for the others, Tara stayed out of the way with Angela at her side. Honestly, she just needed to hold her girlfriend, so Tara wrapped her arms tightly around the blonde and pulled her into her chest.
During the entire firefight, Josh stayed beside Maggie. Disallowing her to reach more than an arms length away, Josh kept a hand on her waist at all times if they were not hugging or holding one another. When Rick entered, the small group had a reunion, but it was far from a happy reunion. Josh did go through and introduce everyone on both sides: those who were with them at the prison to newcomers like Abraham and even those with the Governor like Tara and Angela. As Josh promised Tara beforehand, he would ensure that Rick did not take issue with her or her girlfriend.
For the next few hours, Josh spent his time holding Maggie tightly. They kissed to pass the time and hurried off into their own world. It was not the first time they used each other to forget about horrible things. The only break they took was long enough to start gathering weapons from the scraps of their clothing material and the inside of the car. Yet, there was not much they could use. On the positive side, Daryl had informed Maggie that her sister might be alive. She was taken by some car that was black with a white cross on the back.
Other than that, Daryl had little information about her disappearance. Thankfully, Daryl did believe she was alive and that gave the group hope to find her. There were voices and footsteps surrounding the train car as Rick silently directed everyone to a corner. They would all lunge and attack the Terminus residents as soon as the doors opened. However, the plan was foiled as the top of the car opened instead of the front. Gas was thrown down into the car, causing Josh to go blind and start coughing violently with the others. He felt his hand being ripped away form Maggies as someone had grabbed him along with Rick, Daryl, Glenn, and Bob. As soon as they were out of the car, they were being taken towards some kind of slaughterhouse that these people set up. The intentions were quite clear as well.

Angela began to understand it, how Rick seemed to be a driving force for those at the prison. While the majority of her trip ever since the prison fell was talk of moving forward, of Maggie's husband and of both of the women's drive to reunite with those that they had been separated from, here and there little bits had been shared about each of their history. Though more personal details about Ange had fallen on the ears of Sasha and Bob, all three had good things to say about so many people she couldn't even keep track of all the names. Rick's had stood out though - of course it had. He was the leader - he was the one that the Governor (though Angela did not know him by that title) had been speaking to through barbed-wire fences, demanding that he speak for wrongs that weren't his.
Rick got everyone moving, though - it was motivating, even. Maybe that was because of the extra bodies or maybe a strong presence but they tried. Now - if only their plan had worked. While everyone was prepared for a frontal assault, all bearing improvised weapons, the people there appeared to be one step ahead of them. Gas descended from an opening a the top of the car, tearing up eyes and irritating lungs. As Angela retreated towards the wall of the car, hoping to leave get as far away from the cloud as she could, she pulled Tara with her. She brought one of her hands to her mouth, using the sleeve as a very inefficient filter, and wrapped the other around Tara's mouth in hopes of minimizing the effects of the irritant. Everyone was coughing and everyone was stunned, but they were wantedalive- for now at least. Everyone there would be okay if only for a bit.
"Well... What now?" After the air had cleared, barely but enough to be able to breathe well, Angela spoke up. She hadn't missed the sight of several people being pulled out of the car and dragged away, and it left them back at square one when it came to ideas.
Beth was alive... at least the last time she had been seen. From what Daryl had said he had looked after her sister well, and her kidnapping couldn't be blamed on him. That didn't stop Maggie from feeling like he could have done more, but unfortunately there were more pressing matters at hand. Maggie would have to worry about finding her sisteraftershe figured out the very real, very life-or-death situation that was currently in front of her. Namely, the fact that the little shits here had been one step ahead of them and subdued them before entering. If this was the first time that the people of Terminus had done this, they wouldn't have thought to gas the people in the train car out. No, they had done this before - and the creeping feeling running down Maggie's back turned to fear.
"We'll figure something out," she said back to Angela; though she was serious about figuring something out, but her confidence was a bravado without Josh beside her to give her strength. She was very much "faking it until she made it" as her along with the rest of the people left in the box worked to figure out what they should do. Unfortunately, everyone was still coming up with very few viable ideas. None, in fact. Every last one relied on someone opening that door for some reason or another and unless the tides turned drastically, she couldn't see that happening.
Moments after sighing in frustration, a loud explosion echoed from close by, its intensity shaking the walls of the car. What was that? Maggie had no clue, and she was really hoping that (hopefully) that had been friendly fire. Maybe one of their people had gotten free and blew a gas container, or maybe someone on the outside had just as much of a problem with Terminus as they did. She was really, really hoping that one of their own had done that as no one else would know that they were in there and needed to be freed. The noise would draw walkers in from miles. Maggie was hopeful, but pretty terrified too, that this was one of theirs.
"Don't panic it'll get us nowhere," she said in that southern accent of hers, grabbing one of the makeshift weapons that had been left behind on the floor. If this was one of theirs, then they had to be ready when they returned for them. Otherwise... She didn't want to think of the otherwise.
gpt
Tara had the same idea as Angela. When the gas started filling the train car, she found Angela and pulled her towards the back. Only when she felt the cold, metal against her back did she start. One hand was covering her own mouth and nose while her other hand cupped over Angelas face and mouth, too. By the time the gas cleared, she glanced towards the blonde and did a quick eye test. Obviously, there was no reason to suspect that she had been harmed. It was only gas, but Tara could not help herself. Just like the others, Tara had no idea where to go from here.
Minutes of silence passed before gunshots and explosions were heard. This gave Tara hope, as it did for many others inside the train car. Everyone grabbed whatever makeshift weapon they had and prepared to attack earlier. Again, Tara made sure that Angela was always close to her no matter where she walked. It was important that she work to keep Angela safe. If only one person made it out of here alive, it was going to be Angela. Tara gave her a reassuring nod of the head and gently brushed her free hand against hers.
Finally, she focused on the situation in front of her eyes, keeping both hands on the small, metal rod she managed to gather from a corner in the train car. Seconds felt like hours inside this forsaken place. Every small noise made Tara even more anxious. Not long after it had started, they could hear the faint sounds of the dead. It sounded like there were hundreds of the undead. Tara had not seen many hordes, but from the hordes she had witnessed, they sounded like this for sure.
Voices and footsteps approached to the train car, causing everyone to lunge backwards. When the doors opened, and it was the same group that had been taken before, Tara breathed out a sigh of relief. Lets get out of here. Tara murmured and stole a quick kiss on Angelas lips before grabbing her hand, pulling her towards the exit. She could smell the fire, see the walkers, and hear the shooting. This place was overrun and they needed to find an escape route.
The men were taken into a human slaughterhouse. The Terminus residents were already bludgeoning other captives before slitting their throats. The blood flowed into some type of trough, presumably draining the humans of their blood before they were being eaten. The newest captives were lined up together as Gareth asked Rick about the bags he stashed in the woods. After admitting the contents, the Terminus residents were ready to kill. However, right before Glenn was struck in the back of the head with a baseball bat, the sound of an explosion followed by gunshots prevented him from going through with the action.
It was just enough time to use a distraction. Rick had hidden a wooden stick in his sock. Josh had hidden something similar as well: some metal from the train car. Both men attacked at the same time, taking out the two guys holding them here in the room. Josh finished them while Rick freed the others. Unfortunately, they were unable to save the other captives. The Terminus residents killed the others first. Unable to dwell on that, they needed to get moving. Josh was being motivated to figure a way out by one person: Maggie. The need to get her to safety, because this place clearly was not safe, won out over everything else.
The men exited the slaughterhouse, but not before seeing humans hung from meat hooks. It was disgusting. These people were cannibals and Josh could not believe they almost met the same demise. Rick informed them how they would kill any Terminus resident they found without hesitation. That was something Josh could get behind. In one of the narrow corridors, Josh and the others ambushed a group of the Terminus residents, killed them, and took their weapons. It was at this point when the gigantic horde of walkers started to pile into the compound. They had to keep an eye on the slow-moving walkers as well. The residents were not the only threats anymore.
Finally, they reached the train car where their people had been stored. Pulling it open, everyone was freed. Josh immediately searched for his wife. He had no idea if she was taken, if she was still here, or if she had been taken somewhere else. Thankfully, the second he saw her, Josh jumped up into the car and pulled her in for a quick hug. Come on, babe. We need to get moving. Thankful that she was alright, Josh shoved a gun into her hands before quickly dividing up the other weapons among all members. They would need every last bullet they could afford.

Eugene had wanted to jerry-rig something to force the door open; Maggie had been a voice of reason. Angela, however, only maintained the illusion of staying calm. She had learned a damn lot of patience in her lifetime but fear? That was one feeling she had never learned how to shake. She was more worried for Tara than she was herself, which was ironic given that the brunette's training, which naturally gave Tara an advantage both physically and mentally. When the door to the train car was pulled open and familiar faces urged everyone to move and quick, Angela only hesitated just long enough to grab Tara's hand and then they were out.
The fence appeared to be their best bets: walker numbers were low, relatively low at least, and there was enough junk in the area to facilitate getting everyone over to the other side. Once they did that, they would have to just keep going. Did rick and the others have somewhere in mind to go after this? Angela figured not but she also tried to focus on the here and now. In fact, there was no other option. The horde around them looked like it had more walkers than she had ever seen... total. Holing up in an apartment and only leaving when need be had been their go-to and while in the past she had seen small groups, nothing was ever like this. Her pulse raced as she dashed towards the fence, taking down the dead as needed. While she did let go of Tara's hand she never ventured out of arm's reach and once they hit the fence she pushed her girlfriend forward to go over first.
Every time that Maggie Crowell found herself reunited with her husband, it was bigger than the last. First he had made his way back to her in the end of the world, then they had found each other after the prison fell. This time, he came from within the storm to those who remained anxious and panicked within the train car. Despite the fact that panic did no one good, it was impossible not to when they were left unaware of what was going on. All they knew was that the thick, throat-tightening smell of smoke was growing stronger and that the dead were moving in, groaning and shuffling outside while seemingly unaware of the treat that laid within the metal frame. Perhaps their smell was masked, perhaps there was simply too much external stimuli.
Either way, when the door swung open Maggie's heart burst. While there was little time to make a scene of being reunited, she didn't hesitate to pull Josh straight in to her arms and kiss him hard. That was all she would get for now, though once they were in safety she would make a point to ask about what had gone on during the short period of time that the men had been gone. "I'm so glad to see you," she said as she took the gun from him. Even though it would probably bother Josh that she wasn't the first one out of the car, Maggie was stubborn and she didn't budge until everyone else was out. Taking up the back, there was no time to stop - this was a mad dash to the fence in hopes of getting out, stopping to kill only what got in the way. Maggie downed dead one after dead one until they reached the fence.

Before exiting the train car, Tara reached down to take Angelas hand and squeezed it. This escape was made easier knowing that Angela was beside her. Plus, the need for helping her girlfriend to safety overrode everything else. That was every ounce of motivation that Tara needed to have. As they made their mad dash across the courtyard towards the fence, Tara ensured that the blonde was close. When they reached the fence, she wanted to argue about Angela vaulting the fence first. Unfortunately, that happened to be the opposite of what she had in mind. So, instead of arguing with her and wasting time, Tara used her training and strength. As she was about to climb over the fence, she stopped and reached down to take the womans hand, pulling her up. Tara did cross first, but she basically pulled Angela with her at the same time. Her boots hit the ground first followed by Angelas. Now, they were ready to get running after the others arrived. They had to fight a huge group of walkers to reach the fence, but Tara was safe and she checked to ensure that Angela was unharmed as well. Finding no bites or scratches on either, they were ready to start running.
Rick led a sprint through the woods just outside of Terminus. Before entering, he had hidden a small cache of weapons in the ground. It showed how prepared the leader was for an event like this. Between those guns and the weapons taken from Terminus residents, everyone was armed now. Rick wanted to return and finish off the others. But everyone else, Tara included, said it was a horrible idea because they would likely be killed by the walkers as well. The Terminus residents would either run or they would die. It was a risky waste of time to go back.
Reaching the fence, it was only natural that Josh wanted Maggie to climb aboard first. However, they were the last two in the pack since she was the last person to exit the train car. Therefore, they were the last two to climb the fence. If the woman wanted to argue that Josh go before she did, it was pointless because Josh practically gripped her by the waist and pulled her towards the fence. The horde was getting close and Josh reached the opposite side of the fence with more than a few seconds to spare. Within a brief second, he was sprinting again. Near the weapons cache, Josh also joined the majority who wanted to let Terminus die on its own. It was a suicide mission to return. With an overwhelming amount of support, they decided against fighting back to Terminus. Within a few minutes, Carol had shown up. It was revealed that she caused all this mayhem and set them free. They were indebted to the woman now. She and Tyreese found a cabin not far away. Thankfully, they had Judith with them as well. After watching the family reunite, Josh smiled to himself and squeezed Maggies hand.
It was decided they would rest tonight and get as far away from Terminus as possible tomorrow. So, after deciding who was on watch, Josh walked Maggie towards the front of the cabin. Thinking they could just prop up against the building, he dropped to a seat first and pulled her down quickly, too. He pulled Maggie in between his legs so her back was against his chest. His arms tightly wrapped around her before sharing a kiss on the lips with the woman. I love you so much. Josh whispered, finally able to relax for a second and just enjoy the fact they were together again.

Once they were out they were out - like Tara and everyone else, Angela saw returning to Terminus as something senseless. Luckily, it seemed that the leader was talked out of his desire to take down every member of Terminus himself. Like others had said: between the walkers and the fire, everyone there was as good as dead. It was moments after that a grey-haired woman walked towards them, revealed to be the person who had saved them -allof them. It didn't take a genius to see that she was already acquainted with the others, and especially with the disheveled archer who also found himself reunited with his crossbow. That scene, and then the one that followed where Rick and the boy were reunited with a baby, melted Angela's heart. Of course, Sasha found her brother as well. Given that Sasha had travelled with Angela as she attempted to find Tara, Ange couldn't help but be happy.
Of course once everything quieted down, they needed to decide what they wanted to do for the night. When it was decided that they would stay in the cabin, Angela was grateful. After all that had happened the blonde needed a chance to just sit down and be able to hold her girlfriend close. The cabin was a little crowded so she guided Tara out the front door and sat down a few feet away from it. "Come on," she said with a soft smile as she patted the ground next to her and then split one of her three remaining granola bars in half. Holding one half between her teeth, she offered the other out to Tara. "How are you feeling? Can't have been easy to run on that leg."
Maggie didn't hesitate to follow; after the hectic events of just hours before, she needed a break. Being able to cuddle up to Josh was a needed solace that the brunette didn't take lightly. Once again, she had lost him - he had been pulled from her and there had been nothing she could do about it. Feeling weak like that didn't come easy to her, but when it came to her husband Maggiewasweak. If anyone wanted to try to get to her, the choice was obvious: threaten to harm Josh or separate her from him. While she had known that he would find her again, that hadn't made being in that train car without him any easier. With his arms tight around her she leaned back against his chest, her hands grasping at his opposite elbows to tighten his hold even more.
She kissed him; it was soft but it had all the meaning that it needed to.I love you, I need you, I'm so glad to have you back again.Would there ever stop being anagain? They could vow to never leave each other's side ever again but that relied on circumstances leaning in their favour. Either way, that simply made her cherish being with him even more. "I love you too," she whispered against his lips before resting her head against the strong muscles of his chest. "Were they really... were they really eating people?" She hesitated to ask, but she hadn't missed that part of the conversation with Rick earlier when returning to finish them had been up for debate. Maggie couldn't wrap her head around that, and she didn't want to believe that was true.

Like Angela, Tara merely wanted a second to breathe and hold her girlfriend close. Plus, she needed time to heal her injured ankle. Today had not exactly been helpful in assisting with the betterment of her injury. Yet, in a world like this, one could not just stay put because he or she was hurt. That was how death happened. Tara did not intend to die yet. Despite all the death around her, she hoped to live a long life with the girl that she loved. Following the blonde outside of the cabin, she gently lowered her body down beside Angela. Their legs were touching as were their shoulders. Tara sighed quietly as she took the other half of the granola bar. In the old world, she might have finished this piece in one bite. Now, she was obviously more savoring in whatever food she could have. It was not uncommon to go days without food since they had been on the run. So, she took small bites while listening to Angela. It hurts like hell, Ange. She responded softly, understanding how useless it was to lie. Angela could easily see right through any faade of hers.
The happy couple finished their small amount of food and cuddled before bedtime. Tara asked the usual bag or boobs? question and took whatever Angela did not choose. She was out like a light in less than two or three minutes with her girlfriend tightly wrapped in her arms, only waking up the next morning when she felt Angela shifting against her body as most of the others were starting to wake as well. The sun had only just risen, but they needed to continue putting distance between themselves, Terminus, and the walker horde.
It looks that way, unfortunately. Josh responded. Lying to Maggie would not have made sense. Even as much as he loved protecting her, this apocalypse brought him to the uncanny reality that protecting her from everything was literally impossible. After his answer, they cuddled for a while longer before Josh suggested they get sleep. He gave her a kiss and then closed his eyes before easily falling asleep. The following morning, Josh was one of the first people to wake. He could tell that it was early morning and it was almost still dark. He looked down in his arms to find a peaceful, sleeping Maggie. Deciding he wanted to wake his wife in a cute way since they had gone through so much shit lately, Josh leaned down and gently pressed his lips to her cheek. Wake up, Princess. His voice was soft and sweet, warm breath hitting her neck. He waited until those precious orbs opened up and looked at him. Once she was completely awake and aware, Josh captured her lips in a direct kiss. After all, wake up and good morning kisses were his specialty. He often woke up before Maggie did and it meant she was given many of these throughout their lives together.
His hands cupped her face and Josh did not pull back for at least one full minute. Was there a better way to begin the day? Josh did not think so. After offering her one more smile, Josh maneuvered himself into a standing position before pulling Maggie with him as well. It looks like were moving out soon. Lets head on over to the others and see what the plan for today is. Josh murmured, reaching for her hand so he could bring her palm to his lips and kiss it.

"Mm, come here," Angela whispered as she pulled Tara in to her, wrapped her arm around the brunette's neck and letting her snuggle up against her chest. She lost consciousness shortly after Tara but not before she spent a few minutes caressing the woman's head, running her fingers through her hair. Only after a final kiss goodnight against the sleeping beauty's forehead did she succumb, and after a dreamless sleep she awoke in the morning. Almost as soon consciousness slowly returned, Tara was up as well and though Angela would have loved to simply lay there and hold on to her beloved in a half-awake state there was things to be done and even if moving forward wasn't imperative, trying to rest with the noise of so many people around wasnoteasy.
"Good morning," she whispered in a groggy, rough voice as her throat was dried and not quite used to being used once again. Her blue eyes opened just enough for her to see Tara's half-awake form against her, and with a smile on her face Angela leaned in to give the brunette a kiss before they got up and joined the living in figuring out what to do. After everyone had agreed it was time to go, she wanted to take a moment and check on Tara's ankle quickly before they left.
Knowing that they had walked in to the lair of cannibals sent a chill down Maggie's spine, a reminder of the harsh reality of the world that they were living in. They could have easily ended up today's meal, but luckily Carol had come to their aid. She wasn't sure they would have (all) gotten out otherwise. The idea of Josh being one of the first gone disgusted her deeply. It took her a while to shake the thought as they cuddled up together, focusing only on each other for as long as they could. In the end, she fell asleep in his arms. Now, Maggie Crowell was a little bit of a grump when she was woken up. Of course, when the person waking her was her husband that grumpiness was overpowered by soft smiles and sighs as she was roused out her slumber. She grumbled as he kissed at her cheek and while there was a little bit of fire in her eyes when she opened them, that was vastly masked by the pure love and adoration she had for the man she was faux-glaring at.
"Let's," came Maggie's reply as she offered her hand out to him and once he helped her up she offered her hand out to him; when he kissed her palm she moved to grab his hand back and pull it towards her lips. After planting a soft kiss on the back of his hand she gave him a sweet smile and then the pair were off. Everyone was still getting up and while they did need to keep moving, there was no direct need to movenow- some of the others could sleep in a little bit. However, not too long: eventually, Angela and Tara were the last to join everyone. It was decided that while they had no direct destination, they needed to find somewhere farther away from where they were. Everyone got ready, and then it was time to move out.

Waking up was always easier with Angela. Tara started the day with a smile on her face as they joined the group. They shared a couple tender moments before coincidentally catching Rick. The woman felt somewhat awkward because they had once been on opposing sides of a battle. Yet, Rick decided to strike up a conversation. In typical Rick Grimes fashion, he was brief, quiet, but sincere. He recognized that neither knew what they were doing that day, he held no ill will, and thanked them both for helping members of their group survive and find each other. It was everything Tara wanted and needed to hear. She no longer felt like they were out of place or that Rick viewed them as enemies. Besides, everyone seemed to take a liking to Tara and Angela so far.
The next few days were spent similarly, walking along the road when it was daytime and making camp out in the woods by night. They had little supplies and were living off what they hunt or scavenged. Tara put her skills to use with a gun with hunting animals. She might have only been training in the academy, but she had been using guns almost her entire life. One of the days they were walking, they heard someone screaming for help rather loudly. Rick is reluctant to help until Carl finally convinces him otherwise. Tara followed suit, joining the rest of the group to find the origin of the screams.
During their days of traveling, Joshs hand did not leave Maggie unless he needed to. When they split up to search for nearby water sources or animals to hunt, Josh always went with Maggie. It might not always be like this, but Josh had quite literally not left Maggies side and vice versa now that they were reunited yet again. Josh hoped it would stay like this, but he knew they would face variables other than no shelter. At nights during their time making camp, they cuddled up tight, kissed, and talked. Josh was increasingly thankful to have Maggie back in his life. When they heard the screams, Josh realized it could have been a trap. Rick mentioned how it was none of their business, but Carl and the others were quite hellbent on saving whomever was in need. Josh greatly agreed with the younger man, thinking they should at least check out what was happening. One thing that Josh would never do was lose his sense of humanity or altruism. All his life, even before going into the military, he wanted to help people and make a difference. This was no different. As dangerous as it was, Josh was one of the first to suggest they offer help.
When they dashed into the woods, the group found a man dressed as a priest. He was standing on a rock, surrounded by walkers. He was unarmed and looked helpless. Even though there were a handful of walkers, Josh noticed that he personally taken out more walkers by himself many times. This preacher was absolutely clueless about defending himself. Either way, the group quite easily dispatched the undead surrounding the man who introduced himself as Father Gabriel. Josh wondered how he was going to be handled by Rick, if they were going to leave him where he was or let him join their group. It looked like leaving him alone meant certain death.

Rick's affirmation that they were welcome eased alotof tension that Angela had been feeling as she wondered if her and her partner were truly welcome there. Luckily, it seemed that the leader understood what it was like to know you were on the wrong side - though his calming statement didn't change the fact that Angela was going to work to do the best she could to prove that he made the right call. As several days came and passed and the group put distance between themselves and the cannibals, she made herself useful in tending to any wounds that came up (even a scrape could cost a life if not treated carefully these days) as well as helping with any cooking and night watches. While she wasn't nearly as good with a gun as most people were, she wasn't clueless either as Tara had taken her to the range on more than one occasion before before the dead had started walking and afterwards it had been especially important that Angela's gun skills were up to par. After Rick had dug up the bag of guns he had stashed, she had gotten her hands on a glock that she kept close at all times - luckily, she was yet to have a reason to use it. She was better with a knife anyways, but sometimes getting that close to what was trying to kill you was rather nervewracking.
But of course, when a terrified scream rang out in the distance she couldn't help but want to come to the owner's aid. Had she not learned the first few times that other people were dangerous? Well, yes, but that it wasn't in her nature to ignore someone in need of help. Knife out she ran along side the others, downing one of the dead before she even looked at the scared, cowering man who had pulled himself on top of a large boulder in order to get away from several of the dead. He looked utterly defenseless and too scared to even try, and Angela wondered how in the world the man had managed to survive so long with that attitude. It was quickly revealed that the man had never even killed one of the infected, and that so far he had spent his time holed up in a small church near by. This was the farthest that he had ever gone.
Eventually, they made their way to the church and it was deemed clear. Several of the group went with the priest to check out an overrun food bank in hopes of gathering supplies, which left those who remained to keep themselves occupied for a little while. Like clockwork, Angela was checking on Tara's ankle every time she got the chance. After a few days it was looking better, though the blonde imagined that the piggy-backs she had offered her girlfriend definitely helped keep the strain off of the sore joint. Regardless of the fact that Tara should be fine, Ange was still a worrier. "Has it been hurting you lately?" She asked as she pulled Tara's pant leg back down, hoping that the answer to that question would be (anhonest) "no".
While Maggie Crowell wished the best for this man, the brunette was more cautious than ever after recent events. Though spending the last several days at Josh's side had been a relief after the fall of the prison and their capture at Terminus, nothing could undo what had happened. For all they knew, they were walking in to the trap. Like Josh, that didn't stop her from wanting to help though and with the day slowly coming to an end the offer to check out Gabriel's church almost seemed too good to be true. Of course, Rick felt that way as well. The man took the head of the group, following the priest towards a small church and as they reached it most people waited outside as Rick and several others looked through to make sure they were safe.
When all was said and done, the place did appear to be empty. Father Gabriel had not lied that he was alone and that made how someone so defenseless had survived this long alone seem even more nonsensical. In the end that was due to the fact that just before society had fell, a food drive was being run. The pastor had spent the last year and some living on canned goods and nonperishables, looting every nearby area that wasn't over run. When Abraham wanted to get the bus outside fixed up to move on to Washington, that idea was put on hold. Everyone wanted to rest, recuperate and gather supplies. Eventually it was decided that Bob, Sasha, Rock and Michonne would take Father Gabriel towards the food bank. After they left, everyone who remained at the church was given a chance to relax.
"What do you say, to going to Washington?" Maggie asked her husband in a soft voice as they sat on one of the pews.

When Tara first met Josh, he asked her three questions: How many walkers have you killed? How many people have you killed? Why? It never made sense until now. Hearing Rick recite the same questions to Father Gabriel proved those three questions helped judge whether a person was allowed into the group. After the walkers were taken down, Gabriel jumped down onto the ground as Rick asked these questions. According to Father Gabriel, he had neither killed any walkers nor humans because the lord abhors violence. He did not even carry a weapon with him and he vomited quite violently after he was rescued. It truly was wonderous how he survived this long without being killed: by humans or otherwise. After checking the man for weapons, he revealed that he had a church. In return for rescuing his sorry ass, he would lead the group to the church to make shelter for the night. As they walked, Rick continued pressing the man about himself and the church. There was much left to be desired. It did not appear he could contribute much to the safety or production of the group. Plus, Tara generally disliked clergy members in the first place.
Rick and a few entered the church behind Gabriel, finding it empty. Abraham suggested they could fix the bus and drive it to Washington D. C. Before that, Michonne suggested they should rest and resupply. For the moment, they group agreed with the latter idea. Inside the church, Gabriel had been living off of the canned food drive from the church that occurred before the apocalypse started and Tara remarked how convenient it was. Yet, he has scavenged all places near the church other than a food bank that is surrounded by almost a dozen walkers. Rick and a few others decided to check it out, but they were forcing their new group member to join them because they did not trust him. In the shape Tara was in, she obviously could not join the group. She needed to rest. If it were not for Angela offering many piggyback rides the past week, her ankles would have been in miserable shape. So, the girl finally sat down on a pew in the middle of the church. This place was quite hot and humid as the sun peered directly into one of the windows, so she sat on the opposite side of the structure. Her body was halfway turned, placing her injured leg up onto the pew and stretching it out, laying her ankle onto the arm on the end of the row.
Listening to Angela, she offered the woman a soft smile. She knew how much her girlfriend worried about her, even when there was no reason. With honesty, though, she could finally tell her about the excellent progress. Well, thanks to my sexy nurse that carried me around and tended to me each day, it doesnt bother me. After we walk for a while, it gets a little sore, but it is nothing I cant handle. Within a few more days, she should have a total recovery. Now, enough about me. Sit down here, Ange. How are you? She asked since Angela had been thankfully focusing on her for so long to help with her injury Tara wanted to make sure that her girlfriend was doing well, too.
Once everything had settled down at the church, Josh placed his and Maggies bags down onto one of the front pews. Sitting down first, he pulled Maggie beside him, stretching her legs across his lap. She was sitting to his left, so his left arm wrapped gently around her neck as his right hand tangled with both of her hands. When she asked him what he felt about Washington, he could only offer her the truth of how he felt. I think it sounds crazy, but we should give it a shot. After all weve been through, I think finding a cure sounds ludicrous. But, if we were in high school and someone would have told us that after we graduate college, the dead would be walking the Earth, I would have said that was the dumbest thing Ive ever heard. Maybe someone does know the cure. Maybe that someone is Eugene. Either way, maybe D. C. will be safer than anywhere else. I dont think we do any damage by checking it out. If hes right, then the whole world as we know it changes. If hes not, then well regroup and keep surviving.
Josh squeezed Maggies hands before kissing each of her palms. It felt so good to relax with her for once. Carl stood guard near the door, leaving everyone else to their own terms to relax. What do you think, my love? Josh questioned. The only reason he felt so optimistic was because of Maggie. Just having her involved in his life made him believe that anything was possible. They still had a chance to make something special out of this life cure or no cure. He could not help but glance down towards the wedding band around her finger, feeling thankful that she wanted to marry him. It had not been the marriage they ever intended to have, but it was theirs, and it was special.

For Angela, sticking around was also the right call - and she was grateful to be able to confidently say that Tara was doing much better. She had been worried - even if there had been no reason to be, there was no avoiding that. Ange was a worrier and that never ceased - especially when it involved the beautiful brunette that she had the pleasure of calling her girlfriend. Sometimes Angela believed that Tara understated how she was when she was hurt just to keep her from worrying as much as she possibly could.
"I'm alright babe," Angela said as she pulled Tara's pant leg back down and leaned in to steal a kiss from her girlfriend. After that she moved so that she could sit down beside Tara, half behind the brunette who was turned to raise her leg on to the bench. She snuck her arms around Tara's waist and rested her chin against Tara's shoulder. Cuddling hadn't been the same with the constant worry that the distraction could cost them their lives and because of that, Angela was grateful to have a proper roof over her head - even if it was just for one night. She wasn't sure what she would do if given an option: tell the governor to fuck off in the first place and never end up here, or find an amazing group of people who had hearts of gold. Overall, it was a weird spot to be in and Angela had been thinking about what the better call would be for days now. "I'm hopeful. You're alive and you're with me and I couldn't ask for anything more. I hope Eugene, Abraham and Rosita can follow through. Imagine being one of the people to ensure the survival of a cure, huh?"
Of course, Josh asking her opinion came as no surprise to Maggie who knew undoubtably that her husband wouldn't commit to any specific opinion without finding out what her thoughts were. If she were to say that she thought the cure was a sham, they would talk out the whys of each their sides until they came to a conclusion together. However, Maggie was not arguing with what her husband thought of things. Like Josh, Maggie was hopeful and optimistic. Cautious, careful, but open - Eugene seemed to appear to know what he was talking about and having spent the last little while reuniting with her husband not once more but twice she was holding on to any hope.
"I wanna give it a shot," the brunette agreed as she leaned back in to Josh's hold on her. With her head rested against his shoulder she let out a soft, content sigh and leaned her knees inward just slightly so that they touched Josh's chest. "It sounds so crazy that it just could be true, and after the last year or so I'm trying not to have any expectations about what can or can't happen. After all, even with the world separating us, you still found me in the end of the world. If one miracle can happen, why not another? And if not... If there's nothing left of D.C. or the cure's gone or there never was one in the first place - having a reason to keep pushing is enough for me. We can't wander aimlessly forever. Look how last winter got, having no home and nowhere to settle down? I don't want to be stuck in that rut again, Josh."

Honestly, Tara was quite protective over Angela as well. If the roles were reversed, Tara would have been taking care of Angela the same way she took care of her. However, Tara would seek guidance from her girlfriend on how to help, but she would go to great lengths and help her heal. After the kiss, Tara offered her beautiful blonde girlfriend another smile. When Angela was taking care of her, Tara could not help worrying about Angelas safety as well. If she had her attention on Taras ankle, then she was not focusing on what was ahead. It could have been fatal. When the woman wrapped her arms around her waist, Tara released a sigh of relief. No amount of medicine or time could heal Taras wounds like the touch of her lover. Hearing that Angela was hopeful made Tara feel the same way, honestly. Tara could be pessimistic sometimes, but she had to believe that there was something good here.
It would be incredible, love. I feel hope, too. Its crazy everything that weve been through. A cure sounds just as crazy, but maybe thats good. Either way, I want to see this through. If Eugene is right, then we can help change the world. We can help put an end to this. Sighing, Tara turned her head slightly and stole another kiss. But, I dont want to worry about cures or walkers right now. I just want to love you and hold you. I cant remember the last time we could truly relax when we cuddled and talked. Ive missed this so much. When you combine that with getting separated, it feels like it has been forever since weve had a proper moment together. I love you so much, Angela. Im so thankful to have you in my life and thankful to be surviving with you.
Listening to Maggie brought a smile to Joshs face. Locking eyes with her green orbs, Josh agreed with every statement. We wont get stuck again. I can assure you of that. Weve learned from our mistakes as a group. We can push through better than ever before. I have hope as well. Lets see where this takes us. After saying that, Josh decided to readjust with Maggie against his body. The male placed the woman flat onto her back. The pew was wide, so it made a perfect location for a bed. The padding on the wooden seats was comfortable. Crawling on top of Maggie so he straddled her waist, Josh cupped Maggies cheeks and pressed a firm kiss onto her lips. When they were locked, his tongue peeked into her mouth and started to massage the insides of her cheeks. His knees rest on either side of her legs and their bodies were close together. It might not have been a traditional cuddling position and he was making out with his wife while laying on top of her in front of everyone, but that sure as hell did not bother Josh one bit.
After pulling back from the kiss, he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with a smile. Even in the apocalypse, you manage to look so beautiful. Im such a lucky man. Theres nobody else Id rather be with in a time like this. After praising her and expressing his love, Josh stole another kiss from her lips. Even after the kiss ended, he did not move. Instead, their foreheads were pressed together and he nuzzled his nose against hers. Josh did not want to move from this position, finding it rather comfortable and relaxing.

The way they both protected each other was one thing that Angela loved about her relationship. As long as Tara was around, she knew there was someone who would always be watching her back, and the blonde offered her favourite person the same in return. Tara was right in thinking that Angela would be too focused on looking after her to really think ahead and yes, that was dangerous. A trait they shared was their ability to persevere, though. It would take a lot to take either one of them down, and even if there was something at the forefront of her mind Angela was still paying enough attention to the world around her that a stray walker wouldn't be what ended her.
Ange had no problem with Tara stealing another kiss - she leaned in, savoured it, reached around the brunette's neck to pull her in tight and give her a little affectionate squeeze. Tara was right. There had been so little time for them to actually just be able to focus on each other and Angela was grateful as well to be allowed to simply exist with her lover once again. While there was a part of her mind that was out there, wondering how the others were doing at the food bank. She was really hoping that everyone would come back safe - these were people who were gracious enough to allow Tara and her in to their ranks. As she released her little squeeze she spoke softly in to Tara's ear/ "I couldn't want anyone by my side through this more than I do you."
"Being out here's a lot different than being in the apartment isn't it huh?" She mused; until the prison, they hadn't truly lived in what was happening. This was all still new, but it seemed like they were getting it right.
Maggie provided no resistance as her husband lowered her on to her back on the soft cushion of the pew, and as his body lowered on top of hers she found a hold on him. His hands found her cheeks and hers found his back and for a moment she let herself live in a world where nothing mattered but him and her and the loved they shared. No one else even cared; in a world like this there was very little genuine privacy and a couple kissing was not something that anyone paid mind to. If they were to get too obnoxious someone would speak up, as there were children in the room after all, but despite the obvious passion between the pair both knew that they wouldn't be getting up to anything more while others were around.|Of course,they could sneak out after everyone had gone to bed. They had done that before, during the months that they traveled between her daddy's farm and the prison. Now that they had a place to properly settle down for the night... well, with Josh's body on top of her, Maggie's mind was leaving innocent thoughts in the past. If he was up for it (which she had little doubt that he would be), she was going to steal him after everyone had settled down.
They may have stopped kissing but they never stopped loving; Maggie was undeniably head over heels for her husband. Their romance was almost cliche from how perfect it seemed to be - they never fought, they never got sick of each other, and they could always be found side by side. She wouldn't want it any other way, though. "Mm, I don't think you're the lucky one here," the brunette remarked in response, giving her husband a playful little smile as one of her hands began to gently run through the hair above his ear. "I'd be lost without you, Josh."

Tara continued cuddling Angela for another five minutes. It was not until Josh and Maggie approached the pair with a mission. Not everyone was simply staying put at the church. Josh, Maggie, Tara, and Angela were going on a run to a nearby gun store. Tara happily agreed, especially since she could completely move on her own again now that her ankle had healed. She hated not contributing to the group when she was injured, but that was now over. There was a small chance that anything was left, though. After looting the entire place, the only objects they found were three silencers hidden away in a mini-fridge, of all places.
Though they did not find the supplies they wanted, Tara actually enjoyed the run. She and Angela got to know more about Josh and Maggie and vice versa. Each couple talked about their life together, how they met, how they started dating, and so forth. Tara thought the entire thing was so damn cute, especially as Josh talked about the little wedding ceremony they were able to have even with the entire world falling. It made her wonder if something like that was in store one day for her and Angela. Marriage was not something they talked about, but Tara still thought about it. She wondered if that was nave, to consider a wedding in a time like this.
Either way, they returned back to the church not long before the others from the food bank. Luckily, they had carts full of supplies, food, and water. It seemed their luck was turning in the right direction. That night, the group decided it was time for a celebration. They had wine, food, and an overall happy atmosphere. Rick and his group finally decided they would go through with the plan of trying to reach Washington D.C. before everyone kind of scattered about. Tara grabbed herself and Angela a glass of the wine. They did not exactly have a huge selection to choose from, but it was even better. Tara wanted to have a little toast of their own. Hmm, what should we toast, babe? Tara asked sweetly, already knowing how Angela got when she was buzzed.
Even though the supply run yielded little rewards, Josh enjoyed getting to know Tara and Angela. It was obvious where they were positioned at the prison, but just like everyone else, Josh was not holding it against either woman. In his book, they were good people and he enjoyed hearing about their relationship. Josh already knew that his love with Maggie was a rarity. Hell, it was even a rarity before the outbreak started. Since the apocalypse began, he had seen countless relationships or marriages break down due to stress and uncertainty. Yet, these were two couples that persevered through it all. When it was safe during the run and whenever neither Tara or Angela were looking, Josh decided he would have his way with Maggie.
Earlier, she had been quite the tease. They were making out on the pew and she reminded him about the gun store they needed to check out. Well, two could play that game. Josh grabbed her ass, breasts, or crotch whenever possible. He would squeeze the flesh wherever he could reach and even slipped his hand into her jeans at one point. Of course, he did nothing too distracting since they were out in the open, but he let her feel his wrath. When they were preparing to leave, Josh had this massive hard-on thanks to the way her hips had been positioned against his.
He knew, tonight, they would both let their feelings rip and get lost in each other. He very much looked forward to that. Now, he refocused his attention on Maggie when they were celebrating with the others. He held a glass and sipped lightly, hoping Maggie would take a few glasses because she was so damn sexy when she got buzzed. I havent forgotten. Josh playfully warned his wife, lips pressing against her ear as one arm wrapped around her shoulders. Josh had big plans tonight with Maggie, wanting to take the edge off. They both needed it, too. Sex had not been something they could easily do. They spent all that time away from each other after the prison fell. After it did, Josh and Maggie could not find the time to play because they were on the run. Tonight, they finally had somewhere to stay and he knew they could make a night of fun work.

Angela had let Tara make the call about going on a run, as the brunette was the less able body of the pair. When Tara was enthusiastic, Angela was as well and though they didn't come out the other side with much they did have several silencers. Not to mention, she was pleased to be able to get to know the other pair. After all, Josh had been the one to keep Tara alive and well while both couples were apart. She also enjoyed being able to act, well, couply. Angela was a hopeless romantic and hearing about Josh and Maggie's love story had brought a smile to her face. If two people could cross such lengths just to find each other in the end of the world, there had to be some good left in it. She would also be lying if she tried to say that hearing about their wedding didn't make her think of of a marriage of her own. Marriage and the likes were not something that had been discussed between her and Tara - though Ange was head over heels from day one she had always been firm that they never rushed anything in their relationship. Given that they had only spent around a year together before the dead had risen, it came as no surprise that there had been no serious talk of weddings and the like. While they both knew they wanted to spend their futures together, they also knew that meant they had all the time in the world.
Rick the the others returned after the two couples did, bringing shopping carts full of supplies. Not only were there canned goods, crackers and other nonperishables, but there were a few bottles of wine. Now once upon a time Angela had greatly enjoyed her wine - maybe a little too much but she was a college student and she was allowed to indulge. Alcohol never got in the way of school, her job or her relationship so she never really had a problem with it. Problem or not, her eyes lit up as she saw the first bottle get pulled out and Tara had been sitting beside her at the time time - there was no missing the fact that the blonde was hoping to get her hands on some. To her pleasure, everyone would be celebrating tonight. To being reunited, to escaping Terminus, to moving forwards.
Angela always went for red, unless that wasn't an option. Tara would know that, and luckily the majority of what had been scavenged was to her tastes. Angela was all smiles as she took the glass from her girlfriend, extending her free hand up towards the brunette. After bringing Tara down to sit beside her, she cocked her head with a wide grin. "To us. To never losing each other. To not letting the bad in the world spoil us."
Like her husband, Maggie was having a hard time keeping her hands to herself. When they were together, her and Josh rarely went a day without having sex with each other. They were very passionately in love with each other and that extended to being physical with each other often. They had kinky while still very romantic sex and Maggie loved having a partner that she could be completely comfortable with. Because they had been on the move so much for the last few days, there had been little time to stop and be able to enjoy each other. Today's events, the making out in the church and outside the store, were just proof that they desperately needed to be able to have some alone time.
The brunette knew that she was in for it - especially when alcohol was added to the equation and she became rather touchy. She knew very well that Josh had a hard time resisting her when she'd has a couple drinks in her system, loosening her inhibitions just enough to make things even more fun without becoming a mess. Her first glass was downed rather quickly, not stopping to savour the flavor as it had been ages since she had last drank anything and frankly she had missed it. Maggie wasn't a big drinker but she did enjoy having a few drinks here and there back when that was an option - preferably whiskey, though wine and then beer were also favourites.
"I'd hope you haven't," she said, alluding that she knew exactly what he was talking about as she kissed his cheek and then playfully, gently, nipped at the skin just below his jawline. They were relatively alone, away from the group but yet to properly get their own space. Maggie knew and she figured Josh knew that they wouldn't be staying for long - she had only stuck around this long to be polite and with every minute that passed the anticipation was making her even more anxious to get her hands on her husband.

Red wine. Tara saw it immediately. Without even looking at Angela, Tara just knew what she was thinking. Before the apocalypse, Angela and Tara were moderate wine drinkers. Many weekends were spent on the couch, drinking, watching movies, and eating pizza. Although Tara enjoyed the way red wine tasted, the texture was not her favorite asset. What did she like most about drinking red wine? It meant that Angela was probably drinking it, too. So, what did that mean? Random groping during the movies. Crawling into her lap when she wanted to kiss or cuddle. Getting giggly, feely, and cute. Tara absolutely adored it. Tara seemed to hold her wine much better than Angela, but it did not leave her unaffected. What did wine make Tara feel? It made her horny. She was so sensitive. She felt like her entire body was on fire almost constantly. Just holding Angelas hand was enough to turn her on, as wild as that sounded. Hell, justlookingat the sexiest girlfriend in the world was enough to make her wet. After one kiss, Taras panties were practically dripping, soaked, and seeping with her sweet nectar. The love they shared could never be understated or understood by anyone outside of their relationship.
Long story short, wine made everything fun. She watched Angela make a beeline for the glass, grabbing it before anyone else could. The bottle was poured into two separate glasses before they prepared to toast. Tara could not take her eyes off Angela the entire time. Before drinking, she listened to the toast. To us. To never losing each other. To never letting this bad world spoil us. It was perfect. Tara toasted her, clinking their glasses together before starting to sip on her wine. A smile was on her face, and she decided to quickly wrap one arm around her waist. It pulled the blonde against her body, resting her head against the womans cheek. Hmm Tara hummed softly, her lips brushing her girlfriends cheek. I love you, so much. This is amazing, Angela. I just want us to focus on each other tonight. No walkers. No losing each other. Just us tonight. She purred softly, almost feeling the effects of the wine already. It was only a matter of two sips of wine, but from her past experiences, she knew where this night had a high probability of leading.
After all, Tara knew they had barely anything with alcohol at her apartment. It meant Angela must have lost much of her tolerance. Therefore, she might be quite easy to sway and get into her cute Angela tipsy mode. Tara wanted to see it, so as everyone started hanging out separately, the girl walked with Angela towards one of the closest pews, sitting down with Angela beside her. They were also in front of just about everyone, so Tara would have to be vigilant. As much as she loved it when Angela would not stop touching her boobs, maybe they should take it to a private room if it got that far.
The alcohol made everything better. Maggie became so touchy-feely and clingy when she became buzzed. That was not to say these were not her sober tendencies, but they intensified with alcohol in her system. They did hang around their friends for half an hour. During that time, though, they were kissing, stealing touches, and just having the time of their lives. For one of the few times since the apocalypse started, the married couple had the ability to let loose and just be with each other. After they were polite and kept their face around long enough to see some of the others breaking off into pairs or small groups and going about their business, Josh decided to make his move. Stealing a kiss from Maggies lips, he grabbed her hand after she finished the next glass of wine. Come on, babe. I know a great spot for us.
There were a couple of abandoned cars behind the church. It was the safest spot to have fun while being alone. Of course, anything was a risk these days but Josh needed Maggie so badly. He led her quietly out the back door and suddenly pushed her up against the wall. He pinned her arms above her head and started to make out with her again, sliding his tongue around her lips and pushing it into her mouth. As they kissed, moans left his lips, his hands kept around her wrists, pinning them against the wall. I fucking love you.
He only stopped the kiss long enough to say these four words. After pulling back from the kiss, he grabbed her hand one more time with a smile on his face. He walked immediately towards one of the trucks that were around. Pulling down the tailgate, he helped Maggie jump up into the bed before joining her. Brings back memories, doesnt it? Maggie was a farm girl but she was not the only one between the two that had her southern tendencies. Josh loved his pickup truck, and they had made love in the bed of it more than a few times. And I have a surprise. Josh added, reaching into his pocket, pulling out a roll of duct tape, leaving no doubt what he was desiring to do with his wife tonight.

Yeah, Tara wasn't the only one aware that the night would probably end in one of the back rooms, wine on their breaths and their hands all over each other. Naturally, Angela was a physically touchy person and that was only amplified with a bit of alcohol in her system. Both girls were very aware of what they verged on and Angela was completely okay with that. Just knowing what this night would probably end up like was enough to lower Angela's inhibitions, make her feel comfortable and peaceful andhappy. There was nothing more perfect in the world than her girlfriend or her relationship and Angela was firm about that.
Tara pulled her in but after a soft kiss Angela quickly pulled back, bringing the brunette between her legs so that she could hold on to Tara from behind. One hand held her girlfriend close and the other held her wine, which she sipped at while they cuddled and talked. It didn't take long for Ange's hands to start wandering - a still hand on Tara's tummy was dancing soft, patternless strokes through the fabric of her shirt by the time that she was finished the first glass. At the same time, Angela had buried her head against her girlfriend's neck. Though Tara wouldn't be able to see it, there was a soft, content smile on Angela's lips and the blonde had a feeling she hadneverfelt as good as she did right there.
"Mm, want another babe?" Angela asked as she pulled her face out of the crook of Tara's neck, giving the tender flesh a quick nip on the way off. At the same time she gestured with her empty glass, making it obvious what she was referring to. "I think I do."
Maggie was just as eager as her husband - she followed him hand in hand out of the building with a giddy grin on her face and nothing but desire in her bones. As soon as they were out and he was pushing her against the wall, she was grabbing at his face and pushing her hips against his to stimulate him and get him going - though she doubted he needed any help with that. Just the fact that it had been more than a day since they last got to make love to each other was enough motivation to get her wet. If she could have she would have palmed at his cock through his pants but instead, with her hands pinned above her head, she was left to torture him by grinding her hips against his.
She almost pulled him back in to her when they parted but he grabbed at her hand with strong intentions and even if she tried she knew that she would be pulled away anyways. He wasn't rough or forceful, but she knew there was no saying no to him right then. Of course, she didn't argue. When the cars came in to sight, and a pick-up that reminded her of the one she shared so many memories with Josh in, that giddy smile just grew bigger. As they walked she was clung to his arm, keeping herself tucked close to his body with an affectionate, clingy hold. When they reached the truck and he gave her a hand in, she held hers out for him and as soon as he was up she justhadto kiss him again.
Even while he was reaching to pull out the roll of tape she had her arms around his waist, toying with fabric and grazing softly against the bare flesh above his pants. She was kissing his neck when he pulled her attention way, and that excitement in her eyes turned in to a sly hunger. Duct tape wasn't her item of choice - hurt a bit to remove and all - but she wasveryaware of what he wanted to use that for. They had been young when they had first started venturing in to bondage and the likes, and she knew that he was going to want to bind her hands and most likely use it as a gag. Years ago she had questioned if his interest in bondage would work out well for them, but it hadn't taken long for her to realize just how exciting it was. "Mm, you're terrible. I like it," she said that and meant it in the best, sexiest way possible as she took a couple steps back and held her hand out to pull him farther on to the truck bed.

In a crazy world, Tara managed to find peace and comfort with Angela. Even before the walker apocalypse, that was true. Tara faced every adversity with a stride in her step thanks to Angela. Never before had she faced a task as complex and difficult as this, but the concept still applied. The cuddling position was one of Taras favorites. After all, it pressed Angelas crotch against her ass. How could she not feel squirmy when that happened? The touch of her fingers ,even just dainty against the fabric of her shirt, sent Tara into a whirlwind. She almost protested when Angela removed her head from the crook of her neck. Of course, babe. Id love another. She murmured, finishing her glass down quickly once Angela suggested it.
At the same time, she noticed that her girlfriends own glass was empty. It provided her a great sense of excitement. She appeared to be in a wine-drinking mood tonight since it was not often it happened. With the supply of wine, Tara intended on taking her share. After all, it was not daily they could afford to have an altered state of mind. Tomorrow, after their hangovers, they would return to the same fierce process of surviving each day, totally in control.
But tonight? Nah. Tara wanted to let loose. Even apocalypse survivors needed to have some fun. Walking with Angie, she collected more wine and immediately started sipping on it. Mostly everyone was moving around, not doing anything in specific. However, a few started to play a drinking game of truth or dare. That looks fun. She whispered, remembering days of the few parties they went to. She had fun when they did something with a drinking game. Plus, it could turn a little dirty since they were all adults, and Tara thought it was a great way for them to end the night it was like a slice of their old life again.
Crawling further into the truck, it felt like there was a magnet between Maggies lips and Joshs lips. Even if he wanted to pull away, it would have been impossible. As she crawled further into the bed, he followed her. More specifically, his lips followed hers. The only time the kiss broke was to allow for a bit of verbal communication that was not moaning or groaning. Soon enough, Josh found himself lying on top of his wife again, his hips pressing firmly against hers. Just like she had done not that long ago, he started to move his own waist and hips against hers for stimulation. She had barely even touched him and his erection was already forming. It was going to be a fun night. Bondage might not have been the safest thing to do, even without walkers around, but it mattered little. After all, they were both very careful about what they did. It was a reason he used duct tape as well.
It might not feel the greatest, but it was incredibly easy to remove compared to rope, cuffs, or zip ties. When they were alone in some sort of safe area, then those were other go-to items. But for a risky situation like this, tape was his preference. Besides, the tape gag was his favorite, regardless of where they were. Speaking of that, it was probably no secret that he intended to apply the gag first. The kiss became hungrier and deeper while his eyes grew darker, lust combining with love. After they pulled away one final time, he finally reached across her body and pulled out the duct tape.
Alright, baby. Its time to keep your lips sealed. I wouldnt want anyone hearing you scream while I make love with you. Theyd probably think something was wrong. This was quite true as well. Maggie definitely was not the quietest in bed. True, he had no women to compare it to, but they had been caught at parties and other places before because of her noises. The gag helped with that, but they both knew it was not a reason Josh liked to use it.
So, once her lips were sealed, he pressed one tape very meticulously over her lips. In fact, the first attempt left a slight wrinkle above her upper lip, but he gently adjusted the tape so it was removed. The focus in his eyes was unlike anything ever seen before. He was quite OCD about the way he bound and gagged Maggie always has been. Once it was done to his liking, he gave her a wink. Test it out, baby. Do you sound helpless yet? He teased, sliding one hand into her pants, gently pulling her underwear aside, brushing a couple finger tips against her core.

Ah yes, college parties - Angela had been to many in her days, especially before she had met Tara. While the pair had gone to more than one together, Angela just felt less of a need to once curling up with a beautiful woman became an option. There was no doubt that Ange would pick a night in with Tara over partying any time - though rarely did a choice have to be made, as the pair usually ended up agreeing instantly on what they wanted to go on any given night. Truth or dare, too - that had potential. She had kissed her first girl during truth or dare, back when she was twelve and kissing someone was ahugedeal. Of course, she had kissed a boy that night too but that wasn't something she cared about or remembered fondly.
Either way, she noticed what caught Tara's attention and a smile grew on her full lips as she grabbed Tara by the hand and guided the brunette over to where people had gathered. Glenn, Sasha, and several others were around to start but more people trickled in after the girls arrived, and as expected things started to get a little out of hand after the children passed out. There was one rule: you could pick whatever you liked, but if you couldn't (or just wouldn't) follow through, you had to finish what was left in your glass. Luckily, there was enough wine around to afford that and Angela surprisingly didn't end up being the drunkest one there - apparently there was a side to Rick that he didn't want people to know about.
Of course, would it really be a drunk truth or dare without someone asking the resident lesbians to make out? Angela, of course, never passed up a chance to kiss her girlfriend. Almost instantly after being dared by Eugene, which came as little surprise, Angela's hands were pulling her girlfriend on to her lap.
The care that Josh put in to gagging her was electrifying, from the thrill of the tape tearing to the careful touch he put in to ensuring it was crease-free and to his needs. Over the years Maggie had come accustomed to this routine - the gag wasalwaysfirst. As soon as he had made it clear he was about to do that, she had pressed her lips together and given him a sweet but sexy look, patiently awaiting what was about to come. Though she did worry about the safety of bondage with walkers around, the pair had quickly learned the best methods and they were always as careful as possible. Tape was easy to remove - in a hurry he could simply tear it off (a red cheek was much better than being dead, after all) though generally he put as much care in to ensuring the tape come off smoothly as when he applied it. A gag worked wonders to keep her quiet, which kept concerned parties out of the loop as well as kept her from drawing in an unwanted crowd - the walkers. Basically, the apocalypse made Josh's favourite thing to do with her even more useful.
Maggie needed little encouraging - just the anticipation of what was to come was enough to already have the brunette wet on his fingers. The touch was soft but more than enough, and the moan in her throat as Josh's fingers glided against her was dampened by the tape that secured her lips together. While she still had the freedom to, she had little doubt that her hands would be secured next, she grasped at his shoulder and ran her hand down his side. She needed to keep him close and feel his touch, and her own arousal gave her a desperate need to feel him. Her hand reached his hip, sunk low towards his belly and it became obvious, as suspected, that the way they had been grinding had just as much of an effect on him as it did on her. With a bit of pressure to cause friction, but not so much to be uncomfortable, Maggie pumped his thick length through the fabric.
"Josh." One syllable, one word - his name. She knew that he liked the way his name sounded on her tongue and that her muted, muffled voice got him going so as she pushed her hips against his fingers she called out to him.

Truth or dare was always a fun game for Tara. Obviously, there were many things she would not do if dared, but she felt quite safe around these individuals. When Eugene dared Angela to make out with her girlfriend, Tara chuckled audibly. This was not a chuckle in disgust or anger. Hell, she thought it was hot after all, kissing the sexiest woman alive in front of another group of people was never something she disagreed with. Tara secretly liked the idea of an audience. After all, what better way to show everyone that this sexy blonde was happily taken? Plus, she knew the whole clich with two lesbians making out would somehow seem hot to a guy. It always befuddled her though. It was not like two lesbians would ask the guy to join, as that was mostly the fantasy, she had found out. They were lesbians, after all.
Either way, she was more than happy to help Angela accept this dare. Crawling into her lap just like Angela wanted, the woman had straddled her lap and placed their crotches together. Taras ass was on full view for the group, hoping that Angela would just grab it. She loved it when the blonde groped her. Even though that was not part of the dare and it was not exactly safe for work or for a group, Tara did not give a damn. She wanted to feel Angelas hand touching her ass.
Since she knew what Angela liked, she decided to add something extra. It was something nobody else could really see. Tara started to slowly roll her hips forward and backwards, rubbing her crotch against Angelas pants, directly over her womanhood. Yet, the movements were so subtle that Angela was likely the only person that knew. She tilted her head to the side and cupped her face, leaning down and pressing a firm kiss onto her mouth, sliding her tongue down as she quickly turned this kiss passionate.
When Maggie spoke Joshs name from behind the duct tape, they were not physically touching. However, Josh felt his erection grow in his jeans. It was funny how just one syllable, one sound was enough to practically bring him to his knees. It was almost like a secret power Maggie held over her husband. If he tried teasing her, she had been known to find a piece of cloth or a scarf as quickly as possible, gag herself, and make those irresistible noises. It was like a cheat code in a game it never failed. Tonight was no different. Their eyes were locked together, his hands placing over her breasts, fondling them through her shirt.
He felt Maggie running her hands down his body because she knew what was coming next. Obviously, she was not restrained every time during sex, but Josh loved it. Indeed, her hands were next. However, he needed to remove her shirt before doing that. So, kissing her neck, Josh placed his own hands onto the bottom of her shirt. Slowly, the male raised the material upwards, pulling it off her head, just tossing it onto the bed of the truck. Trying to give them both what they want, he had an idea. Josh brought her hands down, pushed her wrists together, and grabbed the duct tape. Looking down at her hands, Josh wrapped the tape around her wrists four times before crisply tearing the end. Again, there were no creases on the bondage. It was perfect. Pleased with his handiwork, Josh placed the duct tape away for now. There was a beauty to having her hands tied together in front. It might not be practical, but damn, it was hot. She could still touch him (maybe not to the extent that she could without being bound, but still, it was possible) and it just simply looked hotter. Josh had no idea why, but just seeing her arms pressed against her body pushed her breasts forward even more, just like they were begging for his attention.
Mmm, have I ever told you, how good you look when youre bound and gagged? Winking, Josh stole another kiss from her gagged lips. Just relax, my love. Let me worship your body. Next, Josh worked on removing her pants after pulling off her shoes. When he pulled down her jeans, Josh kissed down each side of her leg on both legs, making sure that every inch of her skin was covered. He meant worshiping her body in a literal sense, making sure that every inch was touched by his lips. She now remained covered in nothing but her bra and underwear, and Josh had no intention of rushing to it. Besides, he knew how hot she could get when he would grind against her panties, so he had his own fun ideas to incorporate before they had actual sex.

Like Ange needed an invitation to be grabbing at her - as soon as Tara was on top of her lap Angela was grabbing at the brunette and pulling her close, taking a handful of ass that worked with Tara's subtle grinding. Angela didn't need to have a cock between her legs to find that arousing and her fingers pressed in to the firm flesh while working with the subtle movement. Considering the way they were with each other (endlessly passionate) this was rather tame. If she was a little less inhibited or there was a person or two less around, she wouldn't have hesitated to dip her hand between their bodies to rub against Tara's crotch through clothing.
However, no one was stopping them and between the alcohol in her system and the pure adoration she felt for the girl on her lap, Angela just didn't want to quit. One of her hands took a firm hold of Tara's ass as the other moved up along the brunette's torso, stopping to grasp at one of her breasts on the way up to her neck. Once there she took hold of the hair close to the scalp low on Tara's head, enough to keep the pressure off of one spot to keep it from hurting. She didn't yank or do anything aggressive, but her fingertips pressed against Tara's scalp while the hand still on her ass pulled her in closer.
Maggie Crowell absolutelylovedthe effect that she had on her husband. She loved everything about him, sure, but had her lips not been taped together he would have seen a smirk rise on her lips as the bulge in his pants grew more pronounced, signifying an already erect cock that she knew was just waiting to get inside of her. She watched him move in towards her after a moment of admiring and, knowing full well that her hands would go next, she raised her arms to help ease her top off of her body. When Josh grasped at her hands she offered them out with no resistance. He bound her wrists with the same attention to detail as he had done her mouth, leaving her with a perfectly smooth wrapping, and the lust in her eyes was overwhelming.
Before long she was left next to bare, but to Maggie it felt like she had been clothed much too long. Josh was in no rush, though, that much she could tell. He had a habit of leaving her begging for more, so close to what she wanted without being able to have it. The denial and the wait left her soaking and there were times where he wouldn't enter her until his lips has touched every inch of her body. He started towards her core and moved down, kissing down her legs slowly. She couldn't help but let out soft moans and whimpers, especially when he was closest to her barely-covered crotch. "Oh please," she breathed, soft words that were muffled by the tape that secured her lips. While at first she had been self conscious about trying to talk while gagged, eventually it had come second nature to her as if she wasn't even inhibited by anything. "Please, Josh."

Angela always knew exactly where to grab Tara. The areas on her body where her girlfriend touched were sensitive, especially since there was alcohol in her system. The grinding only increased, knowing how much that her girlfriend enjoyed the feeling. It was easy to forget they were sitting in the middle of a room full of people. Not that Tara particularly cared, but she still tried to maintain some level of manners even in the apocalypse. Knowing that this could easily turn even less safe for viewing audiences, Tara half-wondered if they should seek privacy. Yet, if they did, it meant she would need to release her girlfriend for at least a minute (and that did not seem like a good idea at all!). As expected, the passion grew between the two women. Angela was gripping at her breasts and touching her even more. Therefore, she finally made an executive decision.
Babe lets go out back, yeah? We could have more room. Clearly, Tara wanted to continue this, but maybe they should not be groping each others breasts in front of everyone. Then again, maybe it did not matter. So, pulling herself into a standing position, Tara easily pulled Angela behind her. The group they were playing with all snickered and gave them knowing glances. Everyone had an idea of where that interaction was leading so the two women were given some privacy and room. Come on, follow me, there are some open rooms in the back. She whispered, eyes still lidded over with arousal as she did not wait for an answer before walking forward.
Thats my good girl you know how much I love it when you start begging me. If there was anything that ranked as the most arousing thing Maggie could do when she was gagged, it was this: start begging and pleading with Josh to fuck her. First of all, even if her mouth was not covered, she practically had the superpower of asking sweetly and giving him those proverbial puppy dog eyes and Josh would likely cave in and give her whatever she wanted. But, when she combined those words while she was gagged, man, it was so unfair! Maggie might have been bound and gagged, but she was pretty much in control here. In fact, without her even touching her husband, Josh moaned quite loudly while just watching her and listening to her. It was almost inexplicable, but Joshs body felt what it felt.
So, without further hesitation, he suddenly slid his boxers and his jeans down around his knees. Is this what my sexy wife wants? Josh whispered, showing off his long, hung cock that was fully erect. As anticipated, he pressed the base and the entire length against her womanhood, angling himself so that his tip would reach past her clitoris as well. Slowly, he began to grind his hips back and forth, determined to bring Maggie to a soaking wet point of arousal. I know how much you love this. Moan for me. Show me how much you love this. If you keep this up, I probably cant contain myself much longer. Youll have my cock inside of you in no time. Urging Maggie on, Josh reached for another kiss, positioning himself so their lips touched again. let me see you struggle, too. I wonder how good of a job I did with restraining your hands.

Tara sounded just as needy as Angela felt, but the brunette had more reservations when it came to getting hot and heavy around others than Angela herself did. Normally she too would have the same qualms, but the wine in her system was making her think a little less straight and the blonde as effectively shrugging off the idea that the people around them might not want to witness what was coming. Regardless, Angela burst in to laughter as Tara pulled away, obviously not wanting to, and she offered the love of her life an enthusiastic nod. On their way towards one of the back rooms, hand in hand as Ange stumbled to keep up, Abraham wolf whistled at the pair to which she simply returned with the middle finger.
She had picked up her glass of wine as she was pulled to her feet, finished the remainder in one gulp, and dropped it off on a table outside the door. As soon as the door was closed behind them, Angela took to Tara like a fly to honey. She attacked the brunette with wandering hands and lips, kissing Tara's neck as she worked on taking her girlfriend's shirt off.
The first moment he pushed his cock between her thighs, rubbing against her already dampening sex and especially the sensitive bundle of nerves at the peak, Maggie let out a high pitched, gaspy moan. There was no hiding her arousal; though she was yet to be soaking she was slick and slippery, allowing his length to flow smoothly between her legs. Each successive stroke made the brunette even more eager, and the more heated she felt the more that she gave in to his desires for her to struggle. By now she knew his quirks, how to get him going - she knew the way he liked to bind her, the way his name sounded on her lips when they were held together, when she resisted his touches in the plea of reluctancy even though she craved him more than life itself.
Her arms yanked away from each other to test the security of the tape, one elbow tucked in towards her body while the other yanked back and she whimpered, begged. He had done well and she was a victim to his whims, unable to escape even if she wanted to. He kissed her, tape caught between them, and with each second that passed Maggie's arousal grew.

With an absence of resistance, Tara allowed Angela to remove her shirt. As those soft lips peppered against her neck, the dark-haired woman tilted her head towards the opposite side, giving her girlfriend more room for navigation. Oh Angela She heaved out in a breathy moan. Damn. This woman always knew EXACTLY where to touch and kiss her. Tara was basically a pool of wetness now, feeling the dampening of her panties already. Breathing became heavy and ragged, eyes closing as her hands stroked through Angelas hair. Come on now, baby, lets make this a little fair
Her voice was sweet, soft, and seductive. The fairness that she referred to involved the shirt that still covered Angelas upper body. Now that she thought about things, Tara realized it had been a long time since she had seen the blonde shirtless. It was her turn, now. Tara found Angelas lips and neck, sharing kisses, only breaking away long enough to remove the shirt from her upper body. It was disposed of onto the ground as well, now sliding her hands down her breasts. I dont know if you realized this, but I love your boobs. She whispered, giggling immediately after, now placing her face just above them, kissing along her skin above her bra if she had been wearing one.
Finally, Maggie forced Joshs hand. The struggling and whimpering sent him toppling over the edge. No longer could he prevent himself from fucking her. Hooking his fingertips in her panties, Josh slowly pulled them down her legs and ankles, dropping them onto the floorboard. Allowing her legs to spread back around his waist, Josh settled in between them. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you dearly. Ive wanted to make love with you for so long. We just havent had the appropriate time or place. I intend on making up for those missed days tonight. Winking at his wife, before beginning, Josh grabbed both of her bound hands and leaned down to kiss her gagged lips again.
Although the situation was overtly kinky, it was Joshs desire to fit something romantic into the situation. After all, he was a hopeless romantic at heart. Unlike most, though, his idea of romance also involved his sexy wife being bound and gagged while they made love. Pulling back with this smile on his face, Josh lined up his head with her wet entrance. Upon whispering a word of warning, Josh entered his woman, but entered her slowly. The pace he would set early would begin this way, slowly retracting once he entered the brunette before pushing right back into her again, low moans already drumming from the back of his throat, hands still laced together.

"Like I could miss that fact," came Angela's reply as Tara tossed her shirt to the side and instantly attacked her breasts with eager, greedy hands and those soft, supple lips of hers. She's soft-spoken, giddy, laughing - her tongue traced along Tara's neck before the brunette could sink her lips towards the line of her bra. The slight graze of fingers and lips made her sigh, and it also made her realize how long it had been since the last time she had been touched like this. When together, the couple rarely went a day without touching each other and the fact that they had went almost a week apart and then not had the chance to properly reunite until now only added to the hazy arousal of the moment.
With her body bared, Angela was soft curves. Though she lacked tight muscles or a toned core, she was in no means out of shape - a pink bra held back large breasts, meant to be kneaed and touched and licked and sucked, and all by the girl who stood in front of her. Just as Tara touched at her, Angela's hands began to work magic as they caressed over the brunette's bared body. One hand through Tara's hair as the brunette's lips traced along her breasts, letting out a moan as she blindly but skilfully unclasped her lover's bra. "God I missed you," she gasped as she arched her body in to the brunette's.
Just hearing Josh speak sent an electric shiver down Maggie's spine; her husband wasn't the only person who felt like making up for missed time. Normally, rarely a day passed where they wouldn't make love to each other. Being on the road made that difficult and between seperated made that even harder. Like Josh, Maggie could only imagine what could come for her tonight. There was so much to make up for and the arousal only continued to increase as he hooked her panties in his fingers and then pried them down her body.
Sliding in to her came as a relief for the brunette - though it also worked to make her needier. The first slow stroke had her moaning the entire time, and a gasp escaped through her lips as he hilted within her. Sure, there was an inherent kink to the way that they had sex - more often than not there would be some degree of bondage involved. However, she could be strung by the quarters to a bed, blindfolded and gagged, and to them it would still be as romantic as the slow, sensual sex that they had when untied. Had he not been holding on to her hands, she would have been holding on to him. "Oh-" she started to speak, only to be cut off by a gasp as he buried himself in her once more "- I missed you so much. I missed the way you feel inside me, too. I love you, Josh."

Tara would never tire of seeing Angelas body. God, she was so damn gorgeous! Because of that, she could not keep her hands off the blondes body for too long. Deciding that she needed to remove the bra, Tara reached around the womans back and unclasped the bra as well. Her breasts fell free the same time that Taras did. Even though Tara enjoyed seeing her wearing sexy clothes, she still preferred Angela without anything blocking her view. So, once Angela was shirtless, Tara did the only thing she could think about doing. It was obvious where it was going, so her lips started kissing around the womans breasts. Her lips trailed all over her nipples and along the side of her breasts. Keeping her hands busy, Tara decided to work on undoing Angelas pants as well, preparing to slide them down. She felt this urgency to see Angela nude. It had been too damn long.
I missed you, too. I missed you so fucking much. Tara breathed out with sincerity in her voice. Tara did not ever want to spend one minute without Angela again. Tell me what you want, baby. Whatever you want tonight well do it. Her words were soft and gentle again, locking eyes with Angela. Her finger teased at pulling at her pants, but did not make the move yet. Instead, she used her other hand to continue fondling and groping her breasts, loving to give her girlfriends boobs some much needed attention.
I love you, too. After extensive experience, Josh had become an expert with deciphering what Maggie said whenever she had a gag in her mouth or over her lips. Although not every word was easy to understand, he could easily decipher enough syllables and piece together what she was trying to tell him. The pace started to quicken, his hips slapping hers with a rougher, but still gentle force. A soft moan left his lips, feeling the bed beginning to rock. His hands squeezed Maggies harder, pulling her bound ones against his abdomen now, knowing she would likely want to touch him. That was the beauty of tying her hands in front: it might not have been pragmatic, but she could still touch him. She got what she wanted, and Josh did as well, still having her bound.
With his hands now freed, Josh placed both palms over her nipples, slowly kneading and massaging her breasts. Oh, baby He whispered, a smile coming to his face. God, youre still so tight. I love it. I love your pussy so much. Youre all mine, every inch of you. Nothing can ever change that. Nothing will ever keep me away from you again. Now his dominant, possessive side was starting to show. After all, it was his natural state. Josh could not exactly help it, but his dirty talking often had these connotations. Not wanting to leave her lips open for too long, Josh quickly covered her already taped lips, pressing his mouth against the imprint of hers, beginning a kiss like it was entirely unobstructed.

Angela fell weak to her lover's touch almost instantly. Her breasts were incredibly sensitive and each gentle touch and caress over the soft mounds of flesh just worked to make her needier - which, she imagined, was exactly what it was supposed to do. By now Tara knew exactly what ways to touch her that would turn her on the most, how to act with just enough urgency to make Angela need her that much more. As her girlfriend worked on her breasts and at the zipper of her pants, Angela's hand was lost against the woman's scalp. Fingertips pressed against skin and curled in to the long brown locks, pushing Tara's head in towards her chest just noticeably. All the while her free hand had found her lover's breasts and she fondled and groped at the flesh. There was little she loved more in the world than the way that Tara's breasts felt beneath her fingers.
Her thumb flicked over Tara's nipples as the brunette's fingers teased at her pants, so close to tearing them from her body but not quite doing so. Angela let out a needy whimper as her gaze met her lover's, and without looking away she pushed her hips toward's Tara's hand. "I just want you, naked. Maybe I've been a bad girl and you'll have to restrain me, officer." A desire flashed through her eyes as she made her last remark and a smirk grew on her lips, knowing that they both loved playing up their associated professions. She also knew that she didn't like to behave - both in the sense of being quiet enough to not be a nuisance to the party outside the room, and that she was purposely a little bratty whenever there was any attempt at domination.
Josh could probably understand what Maggie was saying better than she could. She knew, in theory, what she was trying to say, but the noises that left her lips made no sense to her. She would always oblige, however. There was nothing sexier than watching how turned on her husband could get when she appeased him like that. As the pace roughened her muffled moans grew in volume and frequency - there was no denying that she was quite loud. Not only did the gag get both of them going, but it also worked to attract less attention from anyone or anything that may have been around. Each thrust deep in to her just added to her need, and with each minute that passed she grew closer and closer to the peak. Josh's possessive side only aroused her further; though she was very capable of looking after herself, knowing that she was safe in his hands was an important part of their bond.
He moved her hands toward his abdomen, freeing his own to grab her breasts, and her fingers grasped to his side. His dirty talk only made her wetter, if that was at all possible, and Maggie hooked her slim legs around her husband's waist. Not only did that open her legs further, allowing him better access to her tight, soaking pussy, but it also allowed her to cling even further to him. His lips pressed to her sealed mouth and Maggie ached to be able to properly kiss him back. After letting out a loud moan, she tried to speak again. "Never leave -ah. You're so good with your cock, Josh. I don't want you to ever stop."

Tara knew the location of every sensitive spot on Angelas body. She also knew that these spots were even more sensitive considering that the woman was a bit buzzed. It made for an incredible combination. Few things in this world felt better than feeling her girlfriends hand running through Taras hair. So, when Angela started this, the young woman merely leaned into the touch, wanting more, needing more. The touch against her scalp was not exactly sexual in nature, but it provided a haze for Tara, making it unable to think clearly whenever Angela had her hands on her. Then again, that was not exactly uncommon when they touched. Within moments, she felt her own breasts receiving much needed attention. Angela already knew how much she enjoyed having her breasts played with, so it probably was not a surprise when a sinful, loud moan fell from Taras lips even as her own mouth was still covering Angelas breasts. She heard a matching noise from Angela as she bucked her hips towards her hand. She felt the urgency between both of them, knowing that neither could stand much longer without finally giving each other what they truly wanted.
When Angela mentioned that she wanted Tara naked and that maybe she had been a bad girl, Tara grinned at the woman. Is that so? It looks like youre right then. I will have to restrain you and teach you a lesson. Tara cooed, winking at the blonde. At this point, she had just slightly pulled Angelas jeans off her hips, but she placed her hands onto her own body. Already topless, she now started on the zipper of her jeans after undoing the button, slowly sliding the material down her hips and legs, offering a smile to the blonde. is this what you wanted? She whispered seductively.
I wont stop, baby, I promise. Josh responded. I will let you have my cock inside of you for the rest of our lives. Truthfully, it was something Josh would have loved to do. If they never had to leave this position, he would gladly live out his life making love to his bound and gagged wife. She already knew how high and intense his sex drive was. An eternity of making love did not sound like a bad idea whatsoever. Josh could feel the new depths he reached when her legs wrapped around his waist. It locked him in place, so even if Josh somehow wanted to stop, it did not feel like Maggie was letting him go anytime soon. His hands continued fondling her breasts while pumping his hips against hers time and time again. Fuck, youre so beautiful Maggie. I love having you all bound and gagged like this. Youre turning me on so much with the way you moan. Youre so fucking perfect. Again, he decided to attack her covered lips, pressing kisses onto the imprint once more, unable to control the insatiable need and desire to kiss his wife.
Tape gags were up there with his favorite gags because of the sexy imprint of her lips he could see against the silver tape, which made it even easier to kiss. I think its time we got a little rougher, dont you? He suggested with a grin. Subsequently, Josh increased the pace at which he was thrusting along with the power. His hands that were fondling her breasts had started to gently spank them instead, contacting his palm right over her nipples each time, locking eyes with her during the entire ordeal.

A wave of lust struck Angela as Tara stripped her body of the remaining clothes, leaving the sexy, curvy brunette nude in front of her. It took everything that she had not to attack her girlfriend with kisses, nibbles and her hands immediately and that low, sexy tone that Tara used just amplified the blonde's incredible desire for her lover. Ange's eyes were heavy-lidded, clouded with an obvious arousal met entirely for the beautiful woman in front of her. While neither was expressly dominant, the majority of the time Tara ended up being the one in control - but that didn't stop Angela from being a teasing little minx and making the woman win the right to get to tie her up. Just knowing that Tara was down for that riled her up even further, as Angela loved moments like where she lost the fight and was forced to submit to whatever whim the woman may have had.
"Almost," she said in a low, sultry tone as she stepped in towards Tara's body. She kissed the brunette deeply, meeting Tara's tongue with her own as she worked her jeans over the curves of her hips. Left just in her panties she grabbed one of Tara's forearms and guided her hand down between her thighs, where an obvious dampness in her underwear showed the affect that Tara was having on her. A she brought Tara's finger towards his core, Angela's lips turned up in to a sexy smirk.
Maggie's sex drive was just as insatiable as her husband's - that was another way in which the married pair were perfectly suited for each other. Just as Josh would never tire of her, Maggie would never be bored of or not interested in making love to her husband. His thrusts grew rougher and harder, slamming in to her tight walls enough that she could help but let out moan after moan, each one louder than the last but still muffled by the tape over her lips. The way that her legs were over his hips gave her leverage to meet his thrusts part-way, allowing him to slam hard against her folds each and every time that he moved in to her. He slapped her breasts with precision - thanks to their past experiences, he knew how to do that with just enough force to elicit a positive reaction from his Southern lover. If it was possible to grow slicker, Maggie did.
Every kiss, slap and thrust filled her with a variety of sensations, all pleasant and arousing. As the pleasure grew, tightening her sweet sex around his length, her fingertips dug against the flesh of Josh's side. She was unable to control the desire to cling to him and she was also unable to separate from their deep and lust-fueled but still affectionate stare. Maggie was desperate to kiss him back, tape be damned, and gave her all to that as she knew how arousing that was to him.

Their sexual games were always fun. They never had a lacking experience together. Tara particularly enjoyed it when Angela acted like that teasing little minx. She also enjoyed the power distribution between them. It was never one-sided, but when the power was one-sided, it typically resided with Tara. More than once, she had used the set of handcuffs with her officer gear to restrain Angela to the bed. Those nights were so damn fun. As she began kissing Tara, the woman decided to help with Angelas clothes removal. Her hand slipped down, but was immediately caught by Angela. Tara felt her hand be placed between her thighs, feeling the wetness on her underwear. Once her finger was against the womans core, Tara did not hold back.
As the finger slipped inside of Angela, Tara began a barrage of kisses along the womans neck. She trailed her lips against every inch of skin that she could reach without having to move away from her body. With a free hand, Tara managed to slowly push Angela against the wall, allowing for the more dominant, controlling aspect of her power to show through. Angela I love you. Tara reminded her with a bright, sultry smile as she pulled away from her neck just long enough to tell her this. Then, their lips made contact again, that free hand sliding back down to work on sliding her jeans just a littlie lower so they could fall down her legs completely as Tara was quite excited to see her nude again.
Feeling the way Maggie touched his skin brought a smile to Joshs face again. Arent you glad I didnt tie your hands behind your back this time? Then you couldnt have any touch at all. Wickedly smiling at the woman, Josh recalled many instances where her hands were bound behind her back and she would always twist and squirm, trying to touch him. Luckily, he typically caved in and decided to wrap his hands around her back so she could at least hold his hands. Either way, it was so fucking cute watching her and listening to her. Other than the moans between the couple, Josh could hear the sound of their hips slapping together, his cock sliding deep inside of the brunette.
Josh could feel his cock starting to throb. It always amazed him how quickly she could arouse him. Every single time she moaned, it felt like he was about to release. Thankfully, that was not the case, and he could hold off long enough to prolong the experience. Deciding to add more pleasure for Maggie, one hand slipped in between her legs and found her clitoris, slowly rubbing clockwise circles on the mound of flesh. He felt the smile grow even wider, knowing he was controlling the womans pleasure. Cum all over my cock, baby. Dont hold back. You know how much I love it when you do this. I want to see how many times I can make that tight pussy of yours squirt tonight.

A low moan escaped the blonde's lips as Tara's fingers found their way between her folds. Almost immediately, Angela felt like she couldn't hold back any more. As Tara's finger dipped inside of her, starting slow, her body was urged back against the wall. She was relieved of her bottoms, and then both of the women were once again left bared to each other. Angela's blue eyes went wide, lost in the magic of knowing that this,her- it was undeniably hers to keep. Their lips met with a ferocity as back hit the wall.
"I love you too," she whispered breathlessly, her ability to speak hampered by just how amazing Tara was to her. Angela let Tara lead the kiss that they shared and at the same time she grabbed the brunette by the ass, giving one cheek a firm squeeze and using her hold to pull Tara in tight, so close that not a millimeter of space was between them. She grabbed Tara softly by the cheek, stroking the soft skin just below the woman's cheekbone. It's a tender move in comparison to the hungry need in the way that they kissed and it doesn't last - her hand fell from Tara's cheek and trailed down her neck with fingertips grazing along her flesh. She paused only to caress Tara's breast; for a moment she stayed with the meaty part of Tara's breast palmed as she ran her thumb along the brunette's nipple and then give it a firm but gentle pinch. For a moment her lips formed a smirk, though, she didn't stop kissing Tara. The farther that she moved, the more obvious her destination was, and as she reached Tara's core two fingers pushed between her outer labia, running along her clit when doing so, and then sunk inside of her.
Maggie did not need an excuse to cum at Josh's hands - she was already growing close. It was impossible not to cum quickly and often when at the hands of someone as skilled as Josh; over the years he had learned all of her both inside and out. Each thrust in to her had her moaning, lost in the pleasure, and when his fingertip found her clit she gasped against the tape on her lips. With her clitplay was best done slowly and he knew that, he knew just the right pace and spots to push and his dirty talk on addition to that had her soaking and inching so close to the line. Maggie rarely held back on him and when she did it was because she was trying ot tease him - the young woman was acutely aware of how her husband enjoyed the sight of her in a pleasured bliss.
A couple more minutes was all that Maggie needed to veer over the edge. Though she was already feeling amazing, waves of pleasure radiated throughout her as she tightened and twisted, knees pulling tight around Josh as her juices gushed and a particularly loud moan escaped her lips. If her hands were free her nails would have been buried in his shoulder, pulling him tight to her so that there was not an inch between them as her orgasm took over her body. However her hands were tied and her instinct was to pull them hard towards her own body. Her grasp on his waist would have to do, and the tape on her lips was damned as she desperately needed to (attempt to) kiss him.

Becoming intimate with Angela tonight was an unsurprising move. Finally, after so much time spent on the run and away from one another, Tara and Angela were alone. Tara had been looking forward to this moment ever since their last intimate night ended. It did not take long before Tara turned into a moaning, squirming mess. The touch from her girlfriend along her ass, breasts, and face lit her body on fire. Perhaps the loudest moan erupted when she pinched her nipples. Of course, they were sensitive, but Taras nipples were extra sensitive, more than the average woman. When Angela lowered her hand between Taras wet folds, it became difficult for her to concentrate. She wanted to give Angela the love and affection she deserved, but feeling the love of her life fingering her did not make thinking an easy task. In fact, it was almost an impossible task.
Oh, Angela She breathed out lightly, her voice becoming somewhat higher pitched. Her mouth did not close again, silent gasps and breathless moans leaving her lips. Tara continued (attempting) to return the gesture, but her fingers would slide to a stop before beginning again. Poor Tara, she was just putty in Angelas hands. Who could blame her, though? She could not stop smiling and moaning, her hips bucking towards Angelas hands. Finally, the woman decided she would focus on Angela later. The blonde seemed intent on having her way with Tara, so she relented. Her hands traveled along her back, grasping at anything she could hold. You make me feel so fucking good, Angela. Oh, god I need to cum. Its been so long. She whispered, her lips finally connecting onto hers, free hand sliding through her hair.
Gushing, sweet nectar coated the mans cock, creating the loudest moan yet from Josh. Arguably, the male received more pleasure from knowing that Maggie reached her orgasm than he did from reaching his own or even the pleasuring sensations he felt during sex. Always, Josh was focused on his wife, ensuring that the beautiful woman was happy and satisfied. His pleasure was a bonus. With how incredible her orgasm made Josh feel, the man would not need much before his own reached. With her hands pulling, attempting to escape the tape so she could touch him combined with those glorious, sexy moans behind the duct tape, Josh could not hold on much longer. After a few, deep thrusts, Josh finally collapsed over the edge of bliss. He moaned the love of his lifes name again before he released.
It was the most semen Josh had produced since he could remember. Four spurts released inside of the bound and gagged beauty, filling her tight pussy to the brim. Every inch of his cock throbbed until the orgasm finished, and it was easily the most fulfilling orgasm he could recall. It had been way too damn long since he had been inside of his wife. Oh, Maggie he breathed out, deeply in love with adoration filling his gaze. Knowing how badly she wanted to kiss him, he decided to peel the piece of tape slowly off her lips, keeping one end still on her cheek in case he decided to gag her again. Now that her lips were free, Josh offered a smile and immediately attacked her mouth, keeping himself buried inside of her. Mmm, I bet you want a kiss right now, dont you? He teased against her lips, now moving his hands back into hers, finding the moment incredibly romantic.

Angela couldn't help the cheeky smile that formed as Tara grew weak, obviously aroused and craving more. What could Ange do but give the girl what she wanted? The pad of her thumb found the woman's clit and rubbed the sensitive bud as her fingers pushed deep inside of the brunette, angling forward to press her fingertips against the sensitive g-spot within her. As much as Angela loved when Tara took control, Angela still had a side to her of wanting to please and while Taracouldstop her, it often ended up being super fun for both of them. Besides - watching Tara squirm and moan had a way of getting Ange going even more. It was no surprise that making her lover feel good had a positive affect on her, but just how wet she could get from touching another person was amazing.
"Oh don't worry babe, you will." Angela pulled away from Tara's lips, which felt like the worst thing she could possibly do given her desire for the brunette, and whispered in her ear. After that her fingers slid out of the woman's warm, wet pussy and she grabbed Tara by the hips before urging her backwards towards a small bed that still had more than enough space for them to do whatever they wanted.
Maggie was left breathless - the waves of pleasure hadn't even ceased when Josh erupted in to her tight, still pulsating pussy. Too much time had passed since the last time that they had came together and though Maggie hadn't forgotten at all, being reminded of just how amazing making love to Josh really was just leaving her heart fluttering. Thier bodies stayed merged together and she clung to him as tight as she could, desperate to keep flush to him. If Maggie had a say in things, she would never let go of him. Obviously that was unreasonable, but whenever she could be at his side, she was. The fall of the prison only made her want to be even more careful about when and why she walked away from him. They were both safe on their own, both strong people in their own rights who could hold up against nearly anything, but what was the point of being strong without the person that makes you want to keep living?
Her anticipation grew as he pulled the tape off of her lips, working just as carefully as he had when he put it on her. Though it was left tabbed in one corner for easy replacement (Maggie figured that they were not done for the night, after all) she was able to truly take a deep breath and stretch her lungs out a bit better. When he asked if she wanted a kiss, she responded with an eager nod. "Yes please," she whispered back, attacking his lips with her own.

Tara giggled when she saw that look on Angelas face. It was a look of triumph. Angela had never failed to arouse her girlfriend and that streak did not end tonight. It only drew Tara even closer towards the blonde, wanting more with each passing second. As she started rubbing the sensitive clit combined with the sensation of Angelas fingers working deep inside of her, another loud moan left her lips. At this point, she was not trying to hold back very much, but the noises were still blocked out by the thick walls of the church. It was not often Tara found herself without control, but damn it was so much fun! She squirmed and bucked and twisted, unable to find herself able to stay still.
After the kiss ended, Tara felt the woman leading her towards one of the small beds that whoever was staying here must have set up. One might have thought her ankle was still bothering her, because Tara had difficulty staying upright. She needed Angelas help to reach the bed because she was so weak in the knees. Immediately, the naked woman collapsed onto the bed and spread her legs out wide as she lay on her back. Two fingers slipped in between her own legs and spread open her lips, hoping that was inviting enough for Angela to quickly join her. Tara was not sure how much longer she could wait.
Do you remember the first time I gagged you? Josh questioned with a smile against her mouth. They were still in high school and starting exploration with bondage because Maggie had found a video that Josh watched (he had forgotten it was not on private browsing). Instead of being upset, she decided to try what he wanted. He used a scarf and placed it in between her lips. Needless to say, it was the fastest orgasm Josh had ever had in his life. They barely started making love before he was erupting. I came so fast but I made you keep the gag in while kissed you then I took it out of your mouth and I swear we spent two hours kissing in the bed. Maggie had always had an insatiable desire to kiss him after being freed from her gag or touch him after being released from bindings around her wrists. Josh always loved that aspect about using bondage because it was so fucking cute afterwards.
Im so lucky that my wife is just as kinky as I am. I couldnt imagine our sex life being anything else now. It was not like he tied her up every time. They did mix it up, but they used bondage more than just a once in a while occasion, so that was something that pleased Josh. He continued to kiss her while lacing their fingers together. Even though he had reached his orgasm, he continued gyrating and rolling his hips slowly, just creating more friction between their bodies because he could never get enough.

Tara had basically just invited her in - after helping the brunette on to her back, she climbed on to the lower part of the bed and then crawled forward until she could sneak her hands around Tara's ass. After giving the firm flesh a good, tight squeeze, she used her leverage to yank Tara just a couple inches closer. As she urged herself between Tara's thighs she smiled a wicked, greedy grin and then, after urging Tara'a legs over her shoulders to give her easy access, Angela dived in.
Her hands split from their spots on her ass, one wrapping around her leg to hold on to while the other found its way between Tara's legs. It slid up from the slit between her butt cheeks all the way to her sweet pussy. Just the soft, heady scent of Tara was enough to pulse adrenaline through her veins and her mouth watered as sheattemptedto hold herself back long for at least another minute. Then, starting as a tease, a fingertip traced the woman's entrance for a moment. After a few minutes of purposely teasing Tara, Angela was unable to hold back any longer. Her enthusiasm leaked in to her actions and she plunged her finger deep in to Tara in one smooth stoke - in a second stroke another finger joined it, and her tongue peaked out of her mouth to run from just above where her fingers vanished up to Tara's clit. Her lips engulfed Tara's soft sex as her tongue started to work in long, languid strokes in tandem with deep, curling thrusts of her fingers.
A smile grew on Maggie's lips as their bodies continued to grind together, unwilling (or unable) to part even though they had technically finished. While the memory that Josh brought up may have been years ago, at the same time it felt like it was just yesterday or last month. It was hard to believe that they had been together as long as they had been - though at the same time they had always been a part of each other's lives. Maggie had been so nervous when she saw those videos. While she didn't purposely go through the contents of Josh's computer, she had come across the porn link in his recent history while trying to find the link to a site she had been on before. The had barely started having sex with each other, she had insisted that they wait a while, and Maggie had wondered if that was something he would expect her to do down the line. She wasn't open to it at first, but she didn't say anything until a couple weeks later when she had came around to the idea and decided that she wanted to be able to fulfill all of her man's cravings. He had obviously liked it more than her at first; for a while she had been apprehensive but slowly came around thanks to the fact that Josh was good about listening to her needs and what made her uncomfortable. Nowadays they used some form of bondage and gagging more often than not.
"I was so nervous back then," she laughed, eager to steal his lips for another kiss. Her libido was still high, probably because of how long it had been since they had last made love, so she kept her legs wrapped tight around her husband's hips. "I'm glad I chanced it, though. You look so hot when you're all bothered, watching me gagged and tied. It's amazing."

Watching Angela climb onto the bed, another guttural moan escaped Taras lips when the womans hands touched her ass. She gasped and giggled when her body was pulled closer, a lusty and loving smile spreading on her lips. The smile that Angela offered before hooking Taras legs over her shoulders told the brunette exactly where this was headed: she eagerly wanted to ride it out. Every inch of skin that her hand passed from her ass to her pussy lips was dealing with heightened sensitivity. She was already bucking forward without even thinking about it. Tara was already growing wet, something that Angela could tell when she took the initial dive. The teasing was driving her insane. She was tempted to just start begging for Angela to start, but she held herself to a few please baby and just do it, Angela, Im so wet uttering from her lips. The teasing was always fun, though. Tara absolutely did the same thing to Angela. Usually, the woman was more patient. The entire scenario did not allow for patience, though. It had been too damn long to wait even another minute!
Finally, Angela gave Tara what she truly wanted. The feeling of her fingers digging inside of her pussy lips with her mouth over her clit made it impossible to remain quiet. An even louder moan escaped her lips as she arched her hips upwards, backside raising from the bed. Oh, fuck yes, baby. Just like that Im so fucking wet already. Oh Her moans were high pitched as well, reaching one hand down to run through the blondes hair as the other simply attempted to grip the bedsheets beside her.
I was nervous as hell too. I expected you to explode when you saw that video. I was terrified. Josh knew that many did not like bondage. It was an acquired taste. After all, the only time someone was tied up involved them being taken hostage, right? Josh used to think so, but he discovered that it was a sexual kink thanks to the internet. From there, it was a clich rabbit hole of discovering things he would like in a sexual context. When Maggie found it, Josh feared she thought he was a psychopath or something like that. People often made fun of or joked about those movies and books that involved some level of bondage as a sexual element. Josh was mortified of Maggies reaction, but the fear was clearly unwarranted. Look at them now. I am so glad you feel that way, but rest assured when I say that you look quite amazing yourself, when youre bound and gagged. I think you probably already figured it out, though. You make the perfect damsel in distress in the bedroom. I couldnt ask for anything better. Winking, Josh stole another kiss from her lips, his hands still locked with hers.
I hope you know that Im not done with you yet. One time isnt enough tonight. I want to be inside of you at least one more time. I was thinking you could take the top, though. Its been even longer since youve ridden my cock. Ive definitely missed how it felt. Josh intended on keeping her hands bound and her mouth gagged, though. It was also the reason he kept her hands in front in the first place. It would be much easier for her to ride him with her hands tied in front with the tape. What do you say, babe? Do you think you have another round? He asked teasingly, knowing that her drive was just as incredible as his, so there was no reason to think she would decline his offer.

Tara's noisiness only amplified Angela's own arousal, and the hornier that the blonde got the more that she wanted to make her girlfriend cumnow. It was a need and that much became obvious as Ange's tongue made eager work of the woman's clit and her fingers pushed inside of Tara. She'd always thought the loud, high-pitched moans would be a turn off, something she saw only in porn so they had to obviously be fake, butanythingthat came out of Tara's lips worked wonders on lubricating Ange. By now she trusted that the brunette wouldn't fake or exaggerate feeling pleasure for her, which made having confidence in herself a much easier task. Instead of worrying, she could focus solely on the work that she was doing to the brunette's curvy but fit body.
By now she knew the right ways to touch Tara to get a quick reaction - the right way to swirl her tongue, the right way to bury her fingers. As the pace of her fingers changed from an eager thrusting to effectively vibrating against Tara's insides, Ange took as much of the brunette's pussy in to her mouth and sucked gently to elicit a reaction before resuming careful strokes of her tongue. She wasn't a big speaker, especially with a face full of pussy, but she pulled her tongue back just long enough to speak a few words "God, you taste good."
Maggie, of course, didn't think that things were over quite yet. They had been apart for ages and they both knew each other's sex drives - insatiable. There was no way that either of the pair were going to be happy with having each other just once tonight. When Josh suggested that she climb on top, Maggie was thrilled. Personally she didn't think that she got the opportunity to be on topnearlyenough and that was probably her second favourite position, beat out only by how easily doggy style made it for him to stretch out and pound her tight hole. However, Maggie had another idea that she thought Josh would like just as much, if not more.
The pair didn't have anal sex frequently, as it was the kind of thing that she had to be in the mood for to enjoy. Right then though? At least offering felt right - how perfect would it be to let him haveallof her on the first night they spent making love under the stars after getting back together? Pushing him off of her so that she could get on top of him was not the easiest task with bound hands, but if Josh could take a hint then he would move himself easily. From his position it would seem like she was just trying to get on top, that big grin on her face a sign that she was definitely interested. In reality she had another plan and was going to take advantage of being able to be on top of him to tease his cock with her firm, round ass.

Perhaps Tara should have tried being quieter, but that was an impossible task when Angela's tongue and fingers worked her clitoris and vagina expertly. There was nothing fake about these loud moans. Since Angela never seemed to mind her being less than quiet during sex, Tara never held back. When Angela stopped long enough to tell Tara that she tasted good, the woman could literally not formulate a coherent response. Instead, all she did was not her head and moan ( a common occurrence when they had sex). Tara was not a big talker either, but most of the time, she just could literally not make an intelligent remark because the pleasure was overwhelmingly clouding her mind. She would not complain about that, however. It was everything she could ever want with her girlfriend. Sex was always perfect.
"Oh, babe... I'm so... so fucking close." It was a real job to manage those few words! Thankfully, she let Angela know that she was teetering on the edge. It would not take long before her girlfriend finished her off. To facilitate it, she started to roll her hips upwards against her face, reaching down to pull and tug on Angela's long hair. She felt her pussy becoming practically drenched. Her clit throbbed and her walls were quickly contracting. She could not hold this off much longer, eager to let Angela taste her to a further extent. "Please, baby... keep going... Don't stop..."
Maggie only needed to press her bound hands against Josh's chest before the male understood what she wanted. Josh found himself lying flat on his back, stretching out his legs slightly. When Maggie climbed on top of him, Josh flashed her a sweet smile. As she towered over him, the male pulled her down to press their lips together one more time before he pulled the silver tape back over her lips. Once the woman was gagged again, he felt her ass moving slowly and sexily against his cock. Without even saying a word, Josh knew exactly what Maggie was alluding to right now. Never had Josh declined the idea of anal sex with his wife. It was one of his favorite things to do. He would not forget to ensure Maggie got more time on top next time, but for now, it seemed that their evening was taking a different turn than he planned.
Suddenly, Josh playfully flipped Maggie down off his body, pushing her down onto her stomach before crawling on top of her. He placed his cock in between her two ass cheeks, pushing them together against his girth. A quiet moan left his lips against her ear, now pressing kisses down her neck. "Oh, fuck... you know how much I love your ass baby. I can't wait to take your ass and cum inside of you." He purred lowly before reaching down to unwrap the tape from her hands. Since they were going to have anal sex from this position, he wanted to have her hands behind her, but for now, he left them free so she he could reach down to hold her hands as he straddle her from behind, getting himself hard by rubbing between her cheeks.

Yeah, maybe they should have been a bit quieter. That wasn't exactly the first thing on Angela's mind - and if anyone thought that Tara was the noisy one, they had never heard Angela when she was on the receiving end. Had either been thinking straight right then they likely would have pulled out a gag for the sake of quieting things, lest everyone outside the room lose their sanity having to listen to them. They would still have the chance to when they inevitable changed positions, but would they though? All that was on Angela's mind was that she wanted to make her girlfriend feel better than ever before, and she imagined that Tara's head probably would have been in a similar place. Nothing mattered but the love they shared for each other and how easily they could work each other's bodies.
"Shh, show don't tell." the blonde shushed, breathe warming Tara's pussy as she spoke. Her lips traced along the sensitive, wet flesh as her head was grasped. The yank was hard, sudden - but Tara could have pulled her hair straight out of her head and Angela still wouldn't had stopped. Even though she had shushed her girlfriend, Angela was only encouraged by knowing that Tara was getting close to orgasm and she upped her game. As Tara's tight hole spasmed around her fingers and she basically gushed, Angela knew that Tara's peak truly was coming. She sucked harder on the brunette's clit, repeatedly running the tip of her tongue over the sensitive flesh as she did so.
Maggie didn't even need to speak a word for Josh to understand what she was suggesting; the pair were experts at reading each other's actions (that and she wasn't quite being subtle about her interests). The primal grin on his lips as he clued in that she wanted him to put his cock in her ass left her tingling in anticipation as their position flipped and then he untied her hands to move them. Taking her from behind, it made more sense for her hands to be secured behind her. Yes, it made touching Josh much easier, but he could also hold on to her bound hands as leverage to pull her body back against him with each thrust. They liked to be rough with each other, and generally Maggie appreciated anything that would allow her husband to step things up. Over the years they had come to know each others' limits when it came to what wastoo much, so she knew that no matter what she was in good hands and was about to be in for a good ride.
"I had a feeling that you wouldn't say no," Maggie responded in a low, sultry tone that was laced with her soft Southern accent - obviously, she knew her husband. Luckily for now her hands were left free, so she could use them to support herself until things got going. With one hand braced on the bed of the truck against them and one holding on to the wall, she drove her hips back against him to get Josh going. Her ass was still slick from their fluids thanks to the previous round and the way that she shook her ass and rubbed against his length would hopefully only increase her husband's enjoyment and anticipation for what was coming.

Following a particularly accurate swirl of Angela's tongue over the most sensitive area of Tara's clitoris, another loud moan left her lips. However, this particular moan signaled her climax. Her hips wildly bucked upwards into the air, rubbing all over Angela's face and mouth. Tara showed Angela the pleasure she had given her by cumming, her juices gushing from her walls, splashing out, allowing Angela to lick and taste her all she wanted. It was probably the most Tara could remember cumming in recent memory. basically squirting from the pleasure. The body had a tendency to feel this level of enhanced pleasure because of such a long time void of stimulation. At one point, it felt like the juices were going to never stop flowing out, more rushing out of her tight hole. More moans left her lips at this point, her back arching into the air.
She could not keep herself down on the mattress, not even close. Every inch of her body was on fire and she was breathing heavily just like she had run a marathon. The smile graced her lips while looking up at her girlfriend, only able to utter a "wow" once she had finished the orgasm. Now, the woman did intend on giving her girlfriend pleasure in return, but she needed just a few minutes to calm down and regain the ability to move and think. The power behind this orgasm was something unlike anything Tara had ever felt or seen before. "That felt... so fucking good, babe. I hope I can make you feel the same." She whispered in between pants, running her hands through the blonde's hair.
Before starting, Josh leaned down and placed a kissed over her taped lips. "I love you so much. This is going to be one hell of a ride." The smirk played at his lips, deciding it was time to begin. Josh finally settled Maggie down, placing her flat onto her stomach. Both of her hands were pulled behind her back, resting in the small of her back. Lastly, he crossed her wrists over each other and started wrapping the duct tape diligently around her skin. As usual, he wrapped the duct tape slowly, ensuring the tape was not creased or ineffective. After a couple rotations, he ripped the piece and folded it neatly down onto the remainder of the tape. Glancing at the roll of duct tape, Josh smiled, seeing as they still had almost a full roll left. That, combined with how infrequent he used duct tape in the bedroom with Maggie meant this would last them a long time.
"You're so fucking sexy like this. It's a shame I ever have to untie you." Josh teased, continuing to roll his cock against Maggie's ass. Luckily, Josh had carried the lube in his pocket. Although he did not intend on having anal sex with her tonight, Josh knew plans always changed. That was a fun fact about their sex life: he never knew what to expect (which he loved), so being prepared was important. He took his time, ensuring that her ass was lubed up well before applying an efficient amount to his cock. Now that the preparatory work was finished, the fun was about to begin. Josh started by spreading out her ass cheeks with his hands, slowly rubbing the tip of his cock against her lubed ass, just starting to tease her and get himself as hard as he could be before beginning.

Tara's orgasm did not make Angela stop; as the brunette's juices gushed from her and she moaned in ecstasy, Ange continued to lick and suck and finger in all the right places to enhance the pleasure that she was giving her girlfriend. As the orgasm quelled, she finally allowed herself to pull away - but not before gently running her teeth and then her tongue along the woman's sensitive, swollen labia. After that she looked up towards the brunette's angel face, still between her thighs. A wide, tooth-bearing grin took over her face as she took in just how beautiful her lover looked when spent and breathless. Then, Angela began to slowly kiss her way up Tara's body and towards her mouth. She snaked between her legs, up her belly and to her chest, tracing her tongue along flesh and nipping gently here and there until she reached Tara's breasts. At that point she sucked on one peak and then the other before continuing upwards.
She nipped at Tara's neck, a quick snap of her inner incisors that was followed by her sucking on the spot barely above the brunette's collar bone. After leaving a small but dark mark on Tara's skin she finally kissed her - first soft and then with the kind of passion that making love to each other truly deserved. "You don't even need to try," she replied, arousal seeping out in her voice. Angela knew very damn well that Tara could make her feel just as good - if not better.
When Josh retaped her lips, Maggie knew that things were about to get going. Of course, she could tell that much from the stiff pressure of his hardened cock against her round ass, as well as the fact that Josh had paused to get both of them ready. Though she was still slick with her own wetness, additional lubrication would make everythingmucheasier - and it also allowed things to feel much more pleasurable for Maggie. She moved easily with him, allowing her torso to press against the bed of the truck and he eased her arms behind her back. She stayed still to allow Josh to get the perfect binding, though once he had finished wrapping her wrists together once more she gave them a good, solid tug to ensure there was a good hold. There was enough give that she was able to move her hands to a small degree, but not so much that she would be able to pull her hands free. Basically, it was done perfectly.
Just knowing what was coming had Maggie in a state of arousal - as if that had ever faded. From the moment that they had decided to spend the night at the church, the young woman had known where the night had been headed. Because of that she had been ready for what would come long before they even started drinking - now that was only amplified. As Josh rubbed his cock between Maggie's spread cheeks, she leaned back against to him and let out a moan. "Take me please," she said, muffled by the tape that was once more across her lips.

It never stopped when her orgasm quelled. Angela always knew how to carry out the pleasure and orgasm for Tara, which made her love this girl even more. Angela was some kind of Greek goddess. Tara turned her gaze downwards, locking eyes with the blonde. She just looked so damn cute with her head between her legs. God, it was perfect. She could barely contain herself with the excitement even if she did just have her own orgasm. Tara was quite excited to return the favor. From there, she watched the girl kiss up her legs, body, and chest. She reached her neck, giving her a nice little mark that made Tara moan. Her head tilted towards the side and her back arched forward. When their lips touched, Tara obviously returned the kiss passionately, her hands finally able to move on their own, stroking through her long hair. A light chuckle left her lips when she talked about her not even needing to try.
I sure hope so, babe. She purred lowly, pulling away from her lips. Finally, the woman was ready to move. She definitely knew how to make Tara feel good, but now the brunette had finally calmed down. Your turn now. She winked, moving quickly so that she could flip Angela onto her back. When they were flipped, Tara started to kiss down Angelas neck. She decided to gently nip on the same area that Angela left a mark on her own neck. Now were both marked. She teased, reaching down to squeeze her breasts. Think you can be quiet enough? She whispered, but knew either way, she would find a way to keep her quiet.
It might have only been three, small words, but Josh swore he was close to peaking with his orgasm while listening to Maggie. God, he could never get enough of the way she sounded when she was gagged -whether it was moans or an attempt to actually talk - it was so fucking hot. After her cheeks were spread and the tip was pressed against her hole, Josh reached one hand down to grab onto her bound hands. He lifted slightly upwards, grasping onto them as his other stayed in the small of her back for the time being. "Anything you want, babe. This is going to be so fucking good." Smirking, Josh finally pushed forward, lurching his hips deep inside of her ass. There was no barrier from stopping him to penetrate as deep as he could reach, which was one major reason he enjoyed anal sex. He sunk in until his balls slapped lightly underneath her pussy. Since they just started, he was going slow to give her time to adjust to his size.
Even though his cock was not huge by any means, he knew her ass was tighter and they did not use anal ex often, so she needed at least some time to accustom herself to it. After a couple slower thrusts, he started speeding it up. That one hand on her back slipped underneath the brunette, searching around for her clitoris until he could find it, Once he did, Josh started rubbing at the sensitive nub. "Are you okay, my love?" He asked, always focused on her pleasure, to make sure that Maggie was not hurting too much. He did know her limits, but that did not mean he could not ask to be sure every now and again.

Would she be quiet? Angela could try, but that likely wouldn't work out too well. Even when they had been sharing an apartment with Tara's family during the first year or so of the apocalypse,tryingto be quiet had only gone so far. Luckily they knew each other well enough before that became their living situation, and it was no secret that Tara would have to find a way to quiet her even if she "tried" to hold back. Just the thought aroused her - they'd had a cloth they typically used to tie her mouth closed back at the apartment but that was no longer an option. In a way she was purposely a little trickster, getting what she wanted in a way that made Tara think it was her idea. In reality, Angela purposely would act like a little brat or be a little too noisy whenever she wanted the brunette to take control.
At first she didn't give, tensed her muscles so that Tara couldn't flip her quite as easily as she would have wished. Both women had the muscles to but Tara had more - even if she tried to put up a fight she was going to lose. She spent a few seconds just smirking at the eager woman before her body relaxed and she fell on to her back on the mattress. She was grinning as Tara's lips found her collar bone and left a matching mark on the thin, sensitive skin and then Tara worked her way lower. All the while, Angela's hands never left her girlfriend's body. "Hmm, make me," she replied, taunting and teasing in the same two words.
Being anally penetrated was much different from vaginally; her tight hole resisted being pushed in to so she relaxed herself in hopes of making it as easy as possible. The lubrication aided in the venture as did the way Josh was careful with her to start. She let out a high-pitched moan as he pushed himself deep inside of her and gasped as he hilted himself and stilled for just a moment. Maggie was left breathless as she adjusted to him feeling her as he did, and then the thrusting began. Any discomfort quickly faded and the slow starter thrusts, each emitting a loud moan from the brunette's sweet lips, were able to give way to something more akin to their typical, rougher sex. As his hips bucked in to her she responded by arching her back to make her rear as accessible as possible.
"Mhm." She vocalized more than actually speaking, assuring her husband that she was doing just fine with a single noise. With her hands bound behind her, he had control of Maggie's body as well and could pull her back against his length or push her down against the bed of the truck to position her body as he pleased. Once a comfortable position had been found his fingers found her clit, and that combined with the tight fullness of his cock inside of her Maggie was left overwhelmed by the sheer pleasure of her husband's touch.

Tara knew better than to expect her sweet Ange to be quiet during sex. It was just teasing her, after all. Neither females were particularly quiet, but if Tara guessed, she would say that Angela was louder than her. It was impossible to tell, primarily because Tara never paid attention to how loud herself moaned (she was always far too caught up in pleasure for such a measurement). Plus, Tara thought part of the noise was purposeful teasing by Angela, to get her to take control of the situation. There were no strict roles in the bedroom, but often Tara found herself on the dominant end of the spectrum (but also found herself submissive an equal amount of time). The first sign that Angela wanted to have a little fun being resistant happened as she resisted being flipped. It caught Tara off guard, but she smirked once she had to put extra torque into her movement.
Eventually, the deed was done. When Angela suggested that Tara should make her be quiet, the woman was prepared. Maybe the same cloth she used back at the apartment was long gone, but finding a white cloth was ridiculously easy. She simply pulled out a clean cloth and waved it around. I think you already know whats going to happen. Open up. If Angela wanted to resist and keep her mouth closed, then Tara had a remedy she simply wrapped the cloth around her closed lips and tied it at the back of her head. It was another type of gag, an over-the-mouth gag, just as effective as cleave gags if Tara was being honest. If she opened her mouth, then she simply inserted the cleave gag. Either way, once it was secured, she winked at Angela and started to kiss down her chest, hands groping her breasts firmly though the material of her shirt, deciding to rub her bare vagina against the blondes pussy, just to tease her while she started kissing and sucking on one of her nipples.
Josh never worried about the way Maggie felt during anal sex. He literally could not recount one single occasion where she asked him to stop. Despite the experience, Josh always kept her safety in mind. Deciding to change the position slightly, Josh raised Maggie upright as far as possible. Once the position was reached, Josh kept one hand on hers. The other hand wrapped around the front of her body again, returning his attack on her clit. I love you, Maggie. Youre so beautiful and kind. I have the best wife in the world. Im never letting you out of my arms again. Even though they were using bondage, participating in anal sex, and having rough sex, Josh still found an opportunity to weave in something sweet and loving.
Their relationship always mixed kinkiness and gentle romance. It always held the perfect balance. At times, they might make love underneath the stars nice and slow. Other times, sex was like this. The pace began increasing once Maggie was accustomed to the size. His dick continued massaging her walls, moving swiftly and unhindered thanks to the lube. He finally released her bound hands, sliding the other in front of her body to grope and fondle her gorgeous tits. Moans left his lips, pressed right against her neck. Im so close already. Josh admitted with a little grin, proving to Maggie how turned on she made him with the anal sex and the bondage. He was trying to hold off, to let this fun time together last longer. I bet I can still make you cum first, though. Josh teased in a loving remark, his lips now traveling along the side of her face

As soon as the cloth pressed against her full, pink lips Angela's smile faded to part her lips. She would cooperate, just a little - mostly because she absolutely loved the way Tara took control of her. As soon as her mouth was secured she was pushed firm against the bed and she grinned as Tara's lips began to work down her soft, smooth body. The brunette would have had to grab her leg in order to push her pussy against Angela's own, raise her hips as well. She was taken by surprise was her body was manipulated, and immediately moaned as her girlfriend's wet, smooth pussy pressed to her own and started to rub. Her neck arched, raising her shoulders and pushing her head down in to the mattress beneath them. Angela reached out to grab at Tara, took a firm hold of one of her thighs, and began to to roll her hips against Tara's own to facilitate her own pleasure (though continuing to stimulate Tara was an added bonus).
"Fuck babe," she gasped as both of her hands found Tara's thighs and pulled and pushed to guide Tara's body - even when she wasn't in charge Ange was still making her desires known. At first she had thought that this, scissoring, could not have actually been a real thing that people did. The women were comfortable with each other, though, and even though she had been giggly the first couple times they tried it and it looked a little awkward, after dropping any preconceptions about it allowed her to truly enjoy having their folds against each other. The only thing that topped it was Tara's tongue - pussy to pussy was hot and satisfying and drove her crazy, but that tongue was capable of much more precise, specific thing that were guaranteed to bring her over the edge.
Maggie whimpered as Josh's hand pulled away from the sensitive bulb between her thighs and re-positioned her, not happy again until he had returned her pleasure to her. Though she typically enjoyed allowing him to take control, as she still did now, she could be very selfish at times. Being touched just made her greedy - greedy for his fingers, his cock, the impending orgasm that was going to come any moment. Every time she bounced along his length her pleasure only grew, and the fact that she had just came not long before this round began had her even more sensitive than usual - and that said a lot. When possible, she loved to ride him for days - peak after peak until she was left lightheaded and spent, too wonder struck from pleasure to possibly continue... There was little time to spend curled up in bed all day now, but if there were such things as good days, then those were it - and their wedding day, when he asked her to marry him, the first time they made love and the first time that he tied her up.
She had little doubt that he could make her cum before he did; they were a well-oiled machine in that sense. He knew her ins and outs better than she did herself, and as he said that Maggie was already growing close. A couple more minutes of his hard thrusts in to her mixed with the expert work on her clit would have her over the edge, and she was sure he could hold off that long. His fingers on her breasts, toying with her sensitive nipples, only enhanced her desire. Within the next couple moments her moans grew louder and needier, she bounced her ass harder down on Josh and her back arched so that her tits pushed in to her hands. "I'm gonna-" she cut herself off with a loud, gagged moan as the fluttering within her grew erratic and tight, pussy gushing and all of her contracting and relaxing as waves of pleasure shot through her.

Tara admired the blonde beauty with the cloth between her lips. Cleave gags were so aesthetic and sexy Tara loved using them to quiet down her girlfriend. The girls reaction to feeling their crotches rub together was everything Tara hoped for. She even got her own pleasure out of it, feeling wetness pooling between legs again. They remained like this for a total of only two minutes or so. Tara knew Angelas favorite thing in the world was feeling her tongue inside of her. Therefore, she intended on giving her girlfriend exactly what she wanted. Once it seemed like there was a good stopping point, Tara decided to gently kiss Anges neck, hands cupping her face. I love you, babe. Hold on tight. Im going to take you on a wild ride. She whispered, voice teasing as one eye winked at her. Finally, maneuvering away from her girlfriends comfortable, amazing hands, Tara crawled down the bed.
Within seconds, the brunette found herself in between Angelas legs. Her face was inches away from her pussy at this time. Hands placed onto each one of Angelas thighs, spreading her legs out wide. Before doing anything, Tara simply smiled that traditional, sweet smile at her beautiful girlfriend. She wanted her to feel loved and adored during every moment they were together. They shared eye contact before Tara finally decided to break it. It started off slowly. Tara began by wrapping her lips around Angelas clit. She gently sucked the nub in between her lips, teeth grazing the flesh. Meanwhile, one hand moved in between the blondes legs, sliding one finger inside of her girlfriend. The smirk spread across her lips, eyes looking upwards to glance at Angelas face, hoping to see pleasure and happiness.
Even though Josh was not inside of Maggies vagina, he could sense when she reached her orgasm before he felt the wetness on his fingers. They have had enough sex, especially with a gag in Maggies mouth, where Josh could tell how she was doing sexually judging by her moans and her body. After it happened, Josh finally reached his own a few minutes later. He kept thrusting and continued the pressure with his fingers on her clit. Im going to cum, baby. Josh warned his wife, taking one final thrust before releasing, his hot, sticky semen filling up her tight, firm ass. A loud moan left his lips while he was riding out the orgasm, his lips pressing down on her neck until he had finished emptying inside of his wife. Finally, he collapsed down onto the bed with Maggie, still on top of her body. While he was calming down, he decided to remain inside of her ass.
His hands reached down to hold both of Maggies, giving her hands a squeeze. He would untie her and remove the gag in a second, but he was still riding out the orgasm. Plus, he loved to cuddle with his wife while she was tied up. Again, it might have been a strange quirk for anyone else, but Josh always found it cute. He hoped she would not mind a couple minutes of being tied up as they cuddled with him still inside of her. During this time, Josh started kissing her again, reaching to her lips, pressing against the duct tape that covered her mouth. Finally, Josh reached down to peel the silver tape off her lips so they could kiss properly, but for now, her hands were still bound behind her back as they kissed and cuddled in the bed of the truck.

Angela groaned as Tara pulled away from her; even though she knew that the brunette was going to continue her magic on her, losing the pleasure even for a moment felt blasphemous. That sweet smile of Tara's was met with an affectionate gaze, laced with both an adoration to the woman above her as well as a silent beg for her to continue. Had Tara not done so herself, Angela likely would have ended up grabbing her hand and guiding it between her legs to make it clear what she wanted. Luckily, the brunette could read her very easily and Angela's lips parted around the white cloth to gasp as soft lips found their way to her folds.
"Ah-" The sudden sensation hit her quick; the warmth of Tara's mouth was breathtaking and the light sucking of her clit had Ange bucking her hips in towards Tara's mouth. Her arousal was obvious in the way that she urged the brunette to suck harder, push deeper in to her. Tara got exactly what she wanted when she looked up towards Angela's face; she was beautiful even when gagged - maybe even more so than when her lips could turn in to a smile - and she couldn't tear her baby blues from the girl between her legs. Her eyes were heavy lidded, breath panting, cheeks flushed - and with each lick and each push of Tara's fingers in to her, Ange's desire only grew. The brunette knew her better than anyone ever had (though Angela didn't exactly have a lot of experience outside of her relationship with Tara) and she was quickly lost in a string of muffled expletives, gasps and needy moans. Her legs pulled in around her lover's head, not tightly but an unavoidable side effect of growing closer to orgasm.
Maggie's body was given no time to relax post-orgasm. Josh was also growing close and there was no stopping - his fingers had continued to work on her clit through her orgasm which only made it that much more intense. Combined with the arousing sensation of her husband thrusting hard in to her ass, Maggie didn't think she had ever came as hard as she did then. Her moans didn't stop nor did her pleasure falter; had Josh held out just a couple more minutes she likely would have peaked again. As his release came the young brunette pushed against him to allow his cock to get as deep in to her tight ass as it could, and she gasped at the sudden sensation of liquid warmth inside of her hole. Pulled hard against his body, Maggie finally caught her breath as he rode himself out inside her.
She definitely did not mind spending a few minutes cuddling with Josh while still tied up. By now that was just as normal for them as using bondage in the first place, and when he wrapped his arms tight around her the brunette simply leaned back in to the touch. Her skin was still on fire, sensitive as could be, and every touch just made her crave more. He kissed her, first against the tape gag and then again after pulling it off of her lips. Her face lit up in a wide smile; there was ferocity in her eyes and a hint of a smirk in her half-grin. Obviously, she had enjoyed herself and that much was clear from the way that she looked at him. Immediately she kissed him again; hard and deep, running her tongue between his lips in a needy demand for him to kiss her just as hard.

Even though oral sex appeared one-sided, Tara derived a great deal of her own pleasure. Just listening to the blonde with the gag in between her lips was pleasure enough. It made Tara happy to hear the noise, knowing that she was doing a good job with her girlfriend. Angela did not need to do much of anything for Tara to know what she wanted. As requested, she began to suck harder on the blondes clit, her tongue lapping and circling around every single inch of her nub. Then, her fingers started to slide deeper inside of her pussy. She even added a second finger, massaging and brushing against every inch of her walls. It did not surprise Tara when Angela wrapped her legs around her head. It kept her locked in place, which was not uncommon for the woman to do. It never bothered her. It only turned her on because Tara could not have stopped even if she wanted to.
Deciding to give her even more pleasure, Tara moaned against her girlfriends clit. She hoped the voice would reverberate against her clit, adding a new sensation for her. Tara still had a free hand, so she decided to utilize those five fingers on Angelas ass, pulling, squeezing, and groping across. She kneaded the flesh and made certain that every inch was touched. After a few minutes of this, she switched up the position of her lips and fingers, sliding her tongue inside of Angela before using her two fingers to start massaging and rubbing her clitoris. The moans from Tara continued, feeling the wetness growing even further between her legs. She tasted so sweet, she wanted to bring her over the edge to taste every ounce of Angela.
Josh happily returned the kiss. However, before kissing his wife, Josh repositioned their bodies. Instead of lying on top of the brunette, Josh finally removed his cock from her ass, pulling out entirely. He sat upright on his rear, leaning up against the back of the cab of the truck. Then, he pulled Maggie towards him, helping her sit upright and then helping her to crawl onto his lap. He wanted Maggie facing him, on his lap, straddling his legs. Once the position was reached, Josh offered her a bright smile. His hands wrapped around her body again, finding her taped wrists behind her back. After holding her hands, Josh took a moment and adoringly looked into those deep, green eyes. I love you so much, Maggie. Youre my entire universe. I always have fun with your body. Im so happy we finally got the chance to play with each other again.
After saying this, Josh reached up to kiss her again. Maggie had obviously wanted Josh to kiss her harder, so that was exactly what he did. His tongue peeked into her mouth, gently rubbing against her upper and lower lips. Then, his tongue pushed into her mouth, pinning her tongue down against his own. A quiet, happy moan left his lips as they kissed, his eyes closing, feeling her chest pushed flush into his. Oh, baby He purred softly against her mouth, fully lost in the kiss. He barely wanted to let go of her or even leave the bed of the truck. It was almost like their own little world right now, something that Josh did not like the idea of giving up any time soon. Not thinking about the future, or anything else, he continued kissing his wife passionately.

Tara wasn't alone in thinking that giving oral was enjoyable and arousing. In Angela's eyes there was nothing sexier than watching her partner writh and squirm in pleasure, knowing that she was the sole reason why the other woman felt as good as she did. Angela was already growing close before Tara changed things up, but the sudden change in touch came was a pleasurable surprise. Vocalizing between Angela's thighs had its intended affect, and the flurry of stimulation was near overwhelming. Just a couple minutes after Tara had changed things up, Ange couldn't hold back what was coming. Her legs tensed and tightened, pulling in towards her core with a slight pleasured quiver, and her fingers tightened in to a fist of brown hair.
"Tara! Oh, God-" She was barely able to make the brunette's name out as her orgasm overcame her, spasming her walls and leaving her gushing against Tara's touch. Without meaning to she grinded her hips in to the woman's face, eager to be licked and touched until the waves of pleasure receeded. Then, stuck in an orgasmic bliss, she giggled and allowed her legs to finally relax now that the tension had faded. She smiled down at Tara and then released her hair to grab her shoulder and drag her fingers over the brunette's shoulder blade in a request for her to come up and meet her for a kiss. "Oh god, it's been way too long since we've had a chance to do that. Come on, I want to kiss you."
The change in position facillitated much easier kissing, though her hands were still bound. Maggie was effectively stradding him with his aid and both of their bodies were still sticky from both their fluids and remaining lube, but it was nothing that couldn't be easily cleaned up and nothing that bothered Maggie - and hopefully not Josh either. Being face to face with her husband simply reminded Maggie of just how much she loved this man, and as her bound hands were met with his own she was most in the romance of it. Perhaps it wasn't typically romantic - neither bondage or anal sex were known for being part of the traditional "love making" type of sex that was typically viewed as the epitome of romance, but she wouldn't want it any other way.
They were still like teenagers sometimes. While a lot of relationships would have lost the intense, all-consuming type of passion that they started with, Maggie and Josh's romance had always stayed just as exciting, passionate and romantic as it had been back when they had first gotten together when they were younger. They could still fuck like rabbits and would still gladly make out with each other every second of the day if given the chance. The only thing that had ever really upset her was back when he was about to be deployed for the final time and she hadn't wanted him to go, which given the length of their relationship (and now marriage) was a pretty good track record.
"I'd never stop if that was an option," she whispered against his lips before returning to the passionate, all-consuming kiss. "Let's never go that long without having each other again, okay? No more leaving my side. I'm not risking it. I can't lose you."

Tara felt Angela grip her hands within her long hair. She leaned towards the blondes grip, moaning with Angela while the woman reached her orgasm. The grinding into her face was something Tara enjoyed, motivating the brunette to continue licking and sucking at those sweet pussy lips of hers. As the wetness continued gushing, Tara waited until she finished before deciding to lick and clean her thighs and vagina. Tara continued her job until it was finished, having to ignore Angelas pleas for a few seconds. When the woman pulled Tara towards her, Tara was eager to kiss her. First, she did reach behind her head to untie the gag from the back of her head, dropping the cloth onto the ground beside them so they could kiss unhindered.
Youre right, babe. Its been a long time. Tara affirmed before pressing her mouth onto Angelas. She stroked one hand through the blonde locks of hair before placing the other one onto her waist. Tara found herself on top of her girlfriend again, eagerly accept accepting the offer to have a kiss now that the orgasm had subsided. Although Tara knew this might not be something they have the chance to do every night, she did intend on ensuring this was a more common occurrence. It had been a long time. I love you. She whispered softly against her lips, now trailing her mouth down her neck after spending some time with their mouths locked together. I cant be without you again, babe.
I know, my love. We will never, ever go that long without making love again. I promise you that. I love you so much. Id have to be dead before I leave your side now. I promise that nothing will ever separate us again. Weve been put through so much already. Im not going to let you out of my sight again. I want you at least holding my hand at all times during the day when were on the move. Josh was serious about not leaving her side. They were separated at the beginning of the apocalypse when Josh was away on deployment. Then, he was separated from Maggie when the prison fell.
Twice was two times too many. Josh learned his lesson. Some might not find the idea practical or even sane, but Josh meant it when he told Maggie that she would never leave his side and vice versa. They continued kissing, still holding her bound hands. Even when were busy, though I think well find a way to at least get some quickies now and again. I missed you so much and I missed making love with you. That can never happen again. We need to make up for all that lost time. Josh teased playfully, winking at his wife.
After they pulled back from the next kiss, Josh rested his forehead against hers for a moment, just gazing into her eyes. I guess we should get back now. Ill have to cut you free, as much as I hate to. Chuckling, Josh nuzzled their noses together and could not help but taking one more kiss. But as long as youre like this, Im not quite sure if I can force myself to move. I wonder if you quite understand exactly what you do to me babe.

How long had they even spent in that little room, lost in only each other? Sometimes the pair could go at each other for hours, though on and off at times - that was common back before the end had came and they were still in school. They'd quiz each other - neither had any idea what the others flashcards were talking about at first but eventually they'd started learning bits and pieces. Angela knew several cop calling codes off by heart, Miranda Rights to a T and several other things, while Tara would have picked up pieces of medical terminology. The reward for answering a question right? Well, that had depended on how many they got right. They never stopped at just one orgasm, but things got tricky: it was hard to think straight while being pleasured. The pair had made fun out of studying, learning their appropriate material while getting each other as a prize.
Every day with Tara felt like a prize, though.
She couldn't even wait for the gag to be pulled off, or pull it off herself. The fact that Tara did make her wait just made her whimper because she wanted to kiss her favourite personright then. Their lips melded together and the blonde was lost in the serenity of it all. When Tara's lips trended downwards, skirting along her neck and the pulse point in her neck that still throbbed from the adrenaline in her system, Angela could do little other than sigh and trail her fingers through Tara's hair. "Then it's not gonna happen. You and me, baby. I don't want you to ever leave my side again. I love you too much to risk losing you, even for a few minutes."
As much as Angela would have stayed there, a sudden burst of noise outside the room caught her attention. While everyone had been noisy the whole time, there was alcohol involved, there was a new tenseness and urgency to the raised voices. She met Tara's gaze with a look of concern, and then moved to gather her clothes and see what was going on.
They were a lucky pair; most men wouldn't appreciate how naturally touchy and clingy Maggie got when she was truly devoted to someone. While she never intended to be overbearing. she just felt happiest when her man was close to her. Luckily Josh seemed to absolutely adore and even fostered that behaviour, so she didn't have to worry about coming off as needy or annoying. They were both capable adults who were more than capable of looking after themselves, but keeping each other close made things alotmore bearable - and each time that they separated only enhanced Maggie's desire to keep her husband within arm's reach.
"I'd spend the entire time we're moving with my arms around your neck if carrying me wouldn't weigh you down faster," she replied with a little bit of cheekiness in her tone, smiling against Josh's lips. Piggybacks weren't exactly a feasible option when on the move, the less someone carried the longer they would be able to keep moving, but Maggielovedthem. On more than one occasion the pair had been caught running around the field at the front of the prison, Maggie on his back with her arms around his shoulders and face against his neck - just having fun because things were tired and they were in love, and why wouldn't they take some time to act a little childish? Though obviously there were times when being a mature, responsible adult was required, sometimes it was good to just let loose and enjoy the peace when it was there.
"Mmm, fine." Maggie sounded reluctant when Josh said that they should get back, but she knew that he was right. While people had seen them walk off and likely knew what they were getting up to, too long of an absence would get concerning. "But the answer to that is probably abouthalfwhat you do to me, though."
Maybe it was a good thing that Josh had just spoke of freeing her - though Maggie would have appreciated spending even more time alone and naked with him someone screaming could be heard in the distance. She couldn't make out who or why, but obviously they needed to get themselves dressed and moving.

Angela was not the only one to lose track of time. Tara lost herself in Anges body, kissing and touching over every inch of skin. She also recalled their unorthodox studying methods. They would lay together like this for hours at a time. It was something Tara wished they could return to. Back then, exams and classes seemed like the end of the world. After surviving through the apocalypse so far, she would gladly accept exams over fighting walkers, other people, and themselves for survival. Tara had no idea just how good she had it back then. She felt like she did not spend enough being thankful.
For that reason, the blonde would never go without knowing just how thankful Tara was for her. The only thing that pulled Tara away from the haze was the commotion outside. It did sound like a shout, but Tara could not be certain. Immediately, she forced herself to pull away from her girlfriend. They did not even need to say anything they were both grabbing their clothing items immediately. Of fucking course their time together interrupted and ruined again. Sure, they were able to enjoy each other more than they had since leaving the apartment, but it was not long enough. Tara thought the entire night was becoming full of fun. It seemed like everything was taking a more serious turn. Finally, the two women were dressed. Tara did not forget about Angela agreeing to never leave her side, so, Tara made sure they were both brushing shoulders as they entered into the main area of the church.
Sasha was speaking rapidly. She went to search for Bob outside, but he was missing. She claimed that they were being watched, attacking Gabriel with her words, accusing him of involvement in whatever happened to Bob. It was taken down a notch when Rick pulled Gabriel away from the group and calmly spoke to him. It was not until the sound of Glenn shouting for help did Tara look outside. There was a body in the grass, lifeless, unmoving. It was none other than Bob, with part of his leg missing. Tara wanted to puke. Had those psychos from Terminus actually escaped?
The commotion and screaming frightened Josh. What the fuck was happening now? Although he would have enjoyed nothing more than staying with Maggie in the bed of this truck, getting back to the church was now more important than ever before. Quickly, he sliced through the duct tape binding her wrists. The woman was finally freed. Finding his own clothes was a task more difficult than he expected. He just realized how eager both himself and his wife were: their clothing items were strewn about the bed of the truck. Once Josh finally found all clothes, he quickly redressed himself and prepared to leave. Once Maggie was dressed, Josh did ensure that everything was clear before they made the sprint back towards the church. They entered from the back door, reaching the main area of the church right after Tara and Angela. Josh saw everything that went down, seeing Bob in the grass. Josh decided to help out, running outside with Tyreese, helping Glenn carry Bobs body back into the church as multiple walkers started closing in on their location. They had human threats, and they had the undead threats right now. This looked like it was the work of the Terminus residents.
Unfortunately, it was a trap. As soon as the three men grabbed Bob, they were fired upon by the Terminus members. Thankfully, the bullets missed. Rick and a few others fired their guns into the trees, hoping to strike down the assailants. There was a mark on the outside of the church, written in blood. This was some kind of set up. They were being watched, Glenn was right. It had to be those people from Terminus. Josh was unsure how they escaped, but that did not matter. They did that was important. Terminus residents were not dead yet. When Bob woke up, Josh was helping attend to him medically. He revealed it was Gareth and five other of the Terminus residents that had taken him. However, Bob was not quite sure where the enemies were. They were going to tend to Bob, but he revealed the bite, not wanting to waste any medication on him since he was dying anyways. It was horrible just when it looked like the group escaped Terminus, they were thrown right back into this pile of shit.

Oh no. Just like Tara, Angela's instinct reaction was to puke - luckily she did not. Three years of looking at surgical procedures, ER accidents and general grossness had made Angela quite well able to control that urge - not to mention the year spent with the living dead walking around them. It only took seconds for the medic in her to start moving and as the men pulled Bob's lifeless, unconscious form in to the church Angela had already dashed back to prepare somewhere to put him. She'd spared Tara a quick kiss, but it was surprising how quickly her priorities could change - though she always kept Tara in her peripheral, never quite out of sight, there was a reason she'd gone to be a nurse - she knew how to move quick and think fast. It seemed that Josh had some degree of medical training as well, as he had jumped straight in to aiding her. She remembered Maggie mentioning that he was military, and while Ange had no idea what that would entail she figured it likely came with at least basic first aid training. Besides, hands were hands - if he hadn't come over she would have called Tara over and just told her what to do. It was almost a relief to had someone who knew the priority of things.
The amputation was surprisingly well done - though Angela knew that they care the Terminites had given Bob was likely just so that they could keep him for later. He wouldn't be useful if he caught an infection, right? The blonde shuddered at the mere thought of that, but reality was reality. She had just finished re-wrapping the stump (thank God for the little bit of vodka left in one of the bottles that she could use to disinfect her hands) when he had come to, and she took Bob's bite like it was her own disappointment.There was nothing that she could do.For now all that they could do was make him comfortable but that didn't feel like enough.
It was as Angela was walking back out of the pastor's room that Abraham started insisting it was time to leave, only to start a fight between him and several of the others.
All Josh had to do was slice the tape off; Maggie pried it from her own skin in two quick yanks andthatwas one of the benefits of using tape - quick removal. She then hurried to grab all over her clothes and pull them on. She didn't even stop to straighten her shirt or un-ruffle her hair before Josh was talking the lead off of the bed of the truck and she followed, allowing him to take her waist to help her down. Together they moved fast, and within moments they were back at the church just in time for Glenn to yell that he needed help. As several of the men went to grab Bob's lifeless, amputated form from the ground Maggie took down several of the nearby walkers - and then several unseen figures opened fire on the group that had circled around to help. As expected it had been a trap, but what else where they supposed to do - leave Bob behind?
It became clear that Bob wasn't the only one who had hit trouble - two others, Daryl and Carol, were missing as well. As much as Maggie wanted to hope that the pair were just finally acting on that unexplainable bond between them, the young woman knew that couldn't be the case. Not only would it be totally out of character for the pair to do anything but awkwardly flirt (she'd seen that happen on more than one occasion) but with Bob's kidnapping and successive return as bait Maggie couldn't believe that they were fine. After Bob awoke he explained what happened - the pair had driven off together, and the Terminus residents were residing at a nearby school. Sasha asked about getting pain meds for him which was what incited Bob to reveal that he had been bitten and Maggie's heart broke as she realized justwherethat bite was. Bob had likely been bitten long before now - and she couldn't stop thinking that maybe he had lied when he said he was fine, back before they had even found Josh again.
In the end, everyone left Bob alone in a back room after getting him comfortable, allowing Sasha to spend time alone with him in his final moments. Outside of that room was somber, tense - any hints of the celebration that they had been having earlier had vanished as everyone else tried to figure out their next steps.

From time spent studying with Angela, Tara had picked up a few things herself, just like Angela knew a few things about Taras profession, too. Although Tara did not have extensive training with anything before the world ended, she could manage some medical skills. After all, it was important for officers to have such a skill set as well. However, Josh clearly had more dealings with the medical field than her. Therefore, Tara did stay to the side, but she was still present if her assistance was requested. She wanted to help however she could. There was not much to do for the man, though. He was going to die, there was no way around it. Tara watched the stump get wrapped, the pillows fluffed a bit by Josh, and that was it. The group finally left the back of the room once everything was finished since Bob was rather helpless now. Tara looked at Angela, giving her a reassuring smile. She could sense the sadness of Angelas face. She knew there was nothing that could be done to save Bob. Once everyone exited to give Sasha and Bob alone time, Tara returned to the front of the church with her girlfriend to listen to whatever commotion that was going on.
She heard Rick talking to Gabriel again everyone was listening. Rick wanted to know if he had any idea where these people were camped out at. Gabriel was reluctant to give any information at first, but the man finally admitted that it sounded like the elementary school that was not too far away. It was certainly within walking distance, somewhere they could reach through the woods by a ten minute walk or so. It was time to end these people once and for all, it seemed. Tara was still surprised they made it out of Terminus alive.
Everyone met, discussing the matter. Rick suggested they hunt the group down, but a few noticed that Daryl and Carol were still missing. Abraham pushed back because he said it was too difficult to keep Eugene safe in such a tough area. The men were nearly ready to fight until Glenn intervened, convincing Abraham to stay another half a day. Then, after they ended the Terminus group, they could all leave and figure out what was going to happen next. It seemed to be enough to suffice.
The group spent another twenty minutes planning the attack. Almost every member of the group was loading up for the trip. Josh spent the time with Maggie, ensuring their weapons were ready to go. Truthfully, Josh hated this. The fighting was not something that appealed to him. Yet, if they did not kill Gareth and the other Terminus residents, they would never feel safe. Josh had his rifle ready to go, a handgun as a secondary weapon, and his trusty hunting knife if it was needed. When they were ready to get moving, Josh quickly kissed his wife on the lips before releasing her. Deciding to not say anything, Josh was certain Maggie already knew the sentiment on his mind. They promised each other that they would never leave one anothers side again. This little ordeal was not going to cause a break of that pact. Josh wanted Maggie to stay close to him, just as he was certain she intended to stay by his side. He would have her back and vice versa. Even though they were facing dangerous people, Josh was certain they would win this fight. Everyone was finally ready to move, so Josh walked out of the door behind Rick as the others followed.
Before they exited the church, however, movement was spotted and heard. It seemed like the Terminus residents had the same idea they were going to attack. Therefore, Josh quickly suggested his own plan they should feign going to the elementary school. Walk through the woods for a couple minutes, then turn around. They were certain that Gareth and the group were leading an attack on the church. It was a plan quickly agreed upon, so the men and women watched from the shadows.
The enemies did converge on the church. They were calling out inside the structure, stating that they knew most of the group was gone. It left the advantage to the Terminus residents or so it seemed. In reality, Josh and the others started slowly making their way back through the shadows, ready to catch them by surprise. This was an ambush that Gareth was not ready for, an ambush that should quickly end this entire situation before it became anything serious.

Ever since Eugene had started talking about there being a cure to the infection, Angela's interests had been piqued. A vaccine that could save everyone left sounded like a miracle, but one that she was really to risk her safety for. Compassion and hope were a vital part of her nature and she knew that if she had to choose between this group of people and being part of the revival of humanity and society, she would pick the latter. It was a hard call - Maggie, Sasha and Bob were responsible for saving her and getting her out of the prison yard unharmed. They had never needed to spare her let alone bring her with them - and perhaps that was another part of why she felt like she had somehow lost by not being able to save him. She would forever be grateful for the compassion and trust that those people had put in her and his passing would come with an appropriate level of respect and sadness.
For now, however, she couldn't focus on that. The front of the church had been marked by them, like they were still back in those containers - those people had even fired on the group members who had tried to hurry Bob's injured body back in to safety and theywouldreturn. Everyone who could huddled together and planned for it - in the end Angela ended up staying back with Maggie, the children and a couple others. Though she was accustomed to blood and guts, she was not accustomed to causing pain. Besides that, she was much better at fixing people than she was injuring them. In the end, it was the best call. Angela didn't like feeling trapped or cornered, but even as the rogue men made their way in to the tiny church, she knew that people with their best interest in mind would be moving in to ambush them. The trouble with the Termites would end tonight - and their taunting continued until the church's door pushed open and even from her spot huddled in to the back corner of the room, keeping a careful eye on Judith from Maggie's side, she could hear Rick's strong voice making things clear.
It killed Maggie to have to split from Josh even for a moment - but there was a reason that they had planned as they did. Those most suitable to ambush the Terminus residents as they moved in had moved out, taking the majority of the weapons, especially the more intense ones, with them. They didn't move far - just enough for Gareth and the others to assume that the church had been left defenseless. Maggie and several others stayed back - she personally had a knife and a pistol left in her name. Knowing that her husband hadn't wander far didn't quell her concern and the slight anxiety at being parted so soon after finding each other, but if there was one thing that she was good at it was staying optimistic. Even though there was the possibility that they could have never seen each other after the prison fell she hadn't given up for a second, and though her heart raced as they hid behind a closed door and Gareth taunted them, Maggie knew the plan would work.
It was Judith's cries that alerted the remaining Terminus people to where the group was hidden. There may have only been two options, but the young infant's cries were unstoppable - it wasn't like Judith had known that they were meant to be silent. Maggie held the child and bounced her slightly on her knee in an attempt to calm her as Gareth continued to taunt, and it was moments later as the group was threatening to break in to the room that she could hear the door to the church bursting open. She knew what was about to happen - those men had to die, for their own safety. Maggie rarely if ever condoned the death of anyone but desperate times called for desperate measures and between what happened at the rail yard and what these people had done to Bob, she knew it was for the best.

Tara was one of the few members of the group that headed out to prepare for the ambush. She might not have been extensively trained before the outbreak started, but she knew a fair share about firearms. Tara hated being separated from Angela, even for a few minutes. It did not quell her mind knowing that these evil men were entering inside of the church where her girlfriend was located. It made her even more motivated to do everything she could to end this soon. The taunting bothered Tara, but they finally showed themselves not long after the Terminus residents entered into the church. It began with Rick and Josh dropping the last two intruders at the front door. After it was done, the group stepped inside, out of the shadows. Finally, Gareth and the others were trapped, not the other way around. Tara held her handgun directly at the closest woman near her. She knew how this ended. Tara did not enjoy killing, but that was exactly the way the world worked now: kill or be killed. Tara finally realized she would join the walkers if she did not protect herself or the people she cared about. It was important to push past those feelings of discomfort.
Gareth did not back down, continuing to threaten Rick and his members. Unabashed, Rick shot at Gareths hand, sending him onto the ground. The leader of this enemy group ordered the rest of his followers to do as Rick asked. All except one of them, Martin, complied with the orders. Tara was shocked. How the fuck did he not think they were beaten now? Clearly, Gareth had no other backup plan. There were no reinforcements coming. Tara just wanted to put a bullet through their heads to end it and move forward. Martin finally complied after Abraham appeared, putting the barrel of his rifle to his head. Gareth tried to talk his way out of it, trying to rationalize their actions. However, it did not suffice. Rick slashed Gareths throat with the red machete, sending him screaming in agony until the blood pooled up in his lungs. From there, the members of the group that had originally set up the ambush continued to bludgeon and slice the Terminus group members until they were all dead.
The floors and pews of the church were quickly painted red with blood. Josh sliced the throat of a man before moving onto another, older man beside him. It was not the first time Joshs hand was forced since the outbreak started. It was not the first time he needed to kill. Although he disliked it, Josh recognized it was important. It was finally over, They were finished with the Terminants once and for all. Gabriel was shocked and disgusted, claiming that this was the Lords house, that this was not acceptable. Some people just did not understand this priest was one of them. The first thing Josh did was check on his wife. Seeing that she was alright, he embraced her for a moment, quickly kissing her cheek. Even these few minutes without you felt like forever. Josh whispered softly before stroking his hand through her long hair. Even though it was not like they were separated for a long time, Josh preferred it did not happen at all. Thankfully, they were both safe and the threat was neutralized. Josh felt significantly better than he did earlier in the night. He was ready to move on from everything that dealt with Terminus.
When the young man finally pulled away from his wife, Josh quickly looked over her body to ensure that she was truly safe and unharmed. Yet again, they faced a situation that required them spending time away from each other. It was much to Joshs dismay, but that was the reality. It was impossible to stay connected at the hip for the most part. Josh would make a better attempt to ensure he did not leave Maggies side for longer than he needed. He decided to even steal a kiss from the corner of her lips after pulling away from the hug, just wanting to feel her again. We still dont have any sign from Carol or Daryl. I guess thats the next thing we need to figure out. Josh surmised, finding it strange that the pair took off without saying anything.

Angela wasn't nearly as comfortable as some of the others with what was happening, even though she knew that if they didn't do something about the remaining group of Terminus residents they would be in for even more trouble. It was simply too soon after the prison, after thinking that she was on the right side even to not be, for the blonde to respect what had to be done without qualms. The pleas of the dying would likely haunt her just as the sight of watching the old man get beheaded did, but there was a small piece of her that knew they were genuinely just trying to keep themselves alive here. While her time with this group had been short, she had watched Rick try to talk the Governor out of a manslaughter - she knew that he did not take death lightly.
Once everyone was reunited they walked in to a room of corpses - the priest seemed horrified on the basis of death but Angela simply didn't want to see the gore. There was nothing that she could do to save any of these people, and after learning about what they did she had no desire to. Even if they had lived or been given the chance to, some people were not worth saving. The apocalypse had brought out both the best and the worst in humanity, but the Terminus residents were an example of the latter. Ange was at her girlfriend's side as soon as she could be, exchanging a somber glance as she knew that Tara likely would relate what just happened to the prison just as she did. There had simply been too much to lose, but Ange couldn't have been the only one with an inkling of conflict. "I'm glad that things are dealt with," she said in a hushed tone, "and I know there couldn't be, but I still wish there was another way we could have done things. How are you feeling, my love?"
Sometimes people needed to kill in order to keep them and their own safe. It was a harsh reality of this world, but that never made it any easier - especially not in what amounted to a slaughter. Maggie held that baby close - tucked her in against her body, kept Judith's ears covered so that she didn't have to hear the screams of dying men. Maggie's own stomach sank but she knew that what was going on had to be done, or else they could have been jumped in their sleep. Killed - or worse. As the last of the voices died out the door to the room opened slowly and Rick announced his presence, allowing those who had stayed back to relax just slightly. He cleaned his hands off with a rag before grabbing his daughter from Maggie's waiting arms, as if a cloth could truly wipe away the blood of what had just happened.
As soon as her hands were free she found her husband's side once again, grateful for their split to be over. Though he hadn't wandered far she had still been nervous, as she could never be sure of what would follow. Her arms wrapped around his waist as he pulled her close, whispering softly and running his fingers through her long, dark hair. The touch was soft, serene - Maggie immediately felt more at peace. She could have held on to him forever and it still wouldn't have been enough. That wasn't an option - after brief reunions between people, there was still more to do - or at least discuss. It was much too late in the night to truly do anything, but even though a couple people wre gone Maggie could at least find a bit of comfort in the fact that she knew that both of the pair knew how to look after themselves. "I agree. If the people from Terminus didn't have them then I'm worried that something has gone wrong. I know they're both capable of handling themselves but if they don't get back soon we need to figure out what's going on."

It was almost like Angela could read Taras mind. Then again, they were deeply in love. It was not the first time they thought about something similar. Just sharing a glance, without even speaking one word, the two women seemed to acknowledge something about the situation. Listening to the hushed tone caused Tara to keep her own voice down. Im alright, babe. How about yourself? After asking how she felt, Tara wrapped her arms tightly around the woman, pulling her in for a hug. Killing was never easy. It should never become easy. Tara did not take it lightly. If things went her way, she would have figured out an option where no blood was shed. Unfortunately, that was not possible. If the Terminus residents lived, would Tara and Angela ever be safe? No nobody here would ever be safe. Still, it was one of the toughest things she had done. I just wish we could stop killing. Theres enough of that with the walkers. Tara expanded, speaking about her feelings. Yes, she was alright, but it was the toils of the world holding her down, still. She did not care about killing walkers, obviously. They were not people.
Maybe well move onto something better after this. Maybe well all find somewhere peaceful. I dont know if it ever stops, though. I wish it would. Honestly, Tara was not sure if such a place existed anymore. Things were so much simpler back at the apartment. We just went on runs now and again, stayed in our own little spot, didnt bother anyone, nobody bothered us. I thought things were going to eventually get better. I had hope for the future. Now? I dont see how things can ever be different. I bet things will always be this way, now. Sometimes, Tara could get really down when thinking about the future. She catastrophized often, having been given an especially good reason to do so in these days. I just dont know what we do. Were surviving from day-to-day I saw our lives being much different than this.
While Maggie was talking, Josh found himself enamored with the way her lips moved, with the way her eyes locked into his own. Her voice still had the sexy, southern drawl he had always known it to have. When the woman finished speaking, Josh smiled slightly at his wife. When they spent so much time away from each other, it was easy to be reminded of how much these little things made him happy. It often kept him going when times were rough. Recalling the first time he was trying to reach Maggie, after the entire military debacle, he often thought about her hands holding his, her hands cupping his face, her lips on his cheek, and other various activities that gave him strength to keep pushing forward. He knew how close he had come to never feeling those things again. Finally, Josh forced himself to pull away from his wifes embrace, but not before stealing another kiss. I love you, so much. The voice was hushed since everything around the church was relatively quiet, but he meant it as much as he always did. The final touch of intimacy involved nuzzling their noses together before taking one step away from the brunette.
I need to help get these bodies moved. You should go ahead and lay down somewhere. Find a spot for us to spend tonight. Ill find you after Im done. I wont be long, promise. There was some shit everyone needed to discuss as well. Therefore, everyone was relatively close together. Before making another move, though, it was imperative to ensure all the dead would stay dead. After that, they needed to move the bodies outside. Nobody was worried about burying them or burning them since they were moving tomorrow. Therefore, Rick decided they would just stack the bodies outside, behind the church, out of view from everyone else. Josh joined the other men, helping carry the bodies after stabbing every head to ensure the brain was disabled.

Angela understood. Back when they had been in the apartment with her family things gad been good - as good as an apocalypse could be. They had plenty of food thanks to the storage van outside, family to keep them occupied and a small variety of things to do. It was quiet and they hadn't really known what they were doing (for example, it took over a year and the Governor's arrival for them to find out that only a head shot was the only thing that would down the walkers for good) but it had been relatively peaceful. They had kept the nearby area as clear as possible, had the floor secured - they werescared, at least slightly, but they had still been happy. Ever since they had left they had been on the move - been on the wrong side of the fence once and then a second time as Terminus came. Now they were attacked again and it seemed like to matter they went, they were going to face hardship and strife. Maybe Ange was silly for wanting more than that, but Tara wasn't the only one who hoped that they could find peace once again.
"I don't know, my love. The world's a crazy place nowadays and as much as I want to be able to find somewhere we can be happy and at peace, it gets harder and harder to picture that there are any such places left nowadays." The thought was disappointing, but even though reality was harsh Angela would still do everything she could to maintain her hopeful, optimistic outlook on things. She walked Tara to a spot, hand in hand - reached up towards the brunette when she sat down to urge her form between her own legs to sit and cuddle up for a bit. "I know it's hard... But we can't give up hope. We've got people now, good ones - I think. They're not our family but I think they're the best that we're going to find. There's gotta be something left out there that we can have, some little sliver of good left in a world gone bad."
Maggie was more than happy to let Josh deal with the corpses without her, despite her attachment to the young man. Touching human corpses was always worse than handling walkers in any form - the fresh ones, with skin that was still warm and blood that still seeped crimson-red out of any wounds. She would do it when she had to, but even though the walkers were generally much more gorey she was... detached. Flesh and blood people just felt more intrinsically linked with her than any of the walkers ever had - though it had taken her a long time to realize that the people her father had kept in the barn were not the people that they had once been. There was no coming back from the dead either way, but at least with the walkers she didn't wind up feeling like she had taken a person's life. At times like this she was grateful that her husband was in the military - though she wished that he would never have to kill a person either, she knew that he could handle doing so and dealing with the body much easier than she could.
In the end almost everyone settled towards the front of the church, either on the ground or in the pews where there was room to stretch out. The room was in near-silence as the men of the group cleared out the bodies, filled with only hushed whispers between close friends and little else. Rick had handed Judith back to her before heading off, and then Maggie had given the baby to her brother before walking over towards where Angela and Tara had settled down. The spot beside them was clear, so she figured that there would be no harm in that. After all, Tara had been involved in making sure that Josh had gotten back to her and Maggie would never be able to properly thank the other woman for the role that she played in bringing her husband back to her.
"Mind if I sit?" She asked, turning her gaze back towards the door to see if the men were done yet.

Angela was probably right. Even though they liked to think about everything in a positive light, Taras hope mostly faded away. After seeing everything they had seen lately, it made her wonder if this was just a pipe dream. Nothing was safe. People were evil. Tara considered herself lucky to have found this group with Angela. She was also lucky that they did not hold grudges. If the leader had been anyone else, someone with more of a desire to kill than Rick had, perhaps the couple would not have been allowed into the group. It was possible they both could have been murdered. That did not happen, though. It seemed like the group was finally starting to accept the pair. It made Tara feel more at ease, but she always felt like they were looked at differently for their role with the Governor. Fairly enough, they knew nothing about his true past or true plans. They had both been taught that the group inside the prison were the bad guys. It could not have been more wrong, and Tara regretted ever spending a day with that evil man. She liked to think she was part of the good guys, if there was such a thing anymore.
Following the blonde, Tara decided to sit down in between her girlfriends legs just like she had been gestured. The cuddling position was one of her favorites, her head resting back against Angelas shoulders. The girl brought up excellent points, which put Tara more at ease. Offering her girlfriend a smile and one more kiss, she agreed. Youre right, babe. We did find good people. Things could be much worst than this. I guess theres always hope. You help me keep that hope alive, honestly. I dont know what Id be doing without you. As they finished speaking, Tara caught sight of Maggie approaching. Shaking her head when asked if they minded if she sat, Tara assumed Angela would not care. After all, Tara knew that Maggie had helped with Angela, assisting the search to return to her arms. She felt indebted to the woman as well.
It was dirty work, not something Josh enjoyed doing. Stacking human bodies like they were slabs of meat felt dehumanizing. It was best to not even think about these people. It was best to stay detached from the moment. It helped a little, but Josh was more than happy when he and the other mean were finally finished. Returning inside, Bob was beginning to succumb to his bite wound. Josh went inside to speak with Bob for a minute before leaving as a few others said their goodbyes Rick had an extended conversation with Bob before exiting, allowing Sasha and Tyreese to spend time with Bob in his final moments, ending with Tyreese stabbing Bob in the head once he passed. It was a sad moment, even when Josh had not known him for very long. These people had become family members to him, so losing anyone hurt. Times like these made him hold onto Maggie even tighter.
They could bury him tomorrow. It was late, dark, and it was too risky. So, once everything had been finished, the group was deciding to retire for the night. Josh approached the inside of the church again, spotting Maggie sitting beside Angela and Tara. Of course, he did not want to interrupt them, but he was also not just about to sit away from his wife. Therefore, he politely and silently approached the three women, placing one hand onto his wifes shoulders, sitting down beside of her and stealing a kiss from her neck. Once he had settled in, he reached for one of her hands, just sitting, not commenting unless there was something for him to answer. It was just important to be close to Maggie, so he figured she would not have minded him joining her right now.

As soon as Tara had sat down, Angela's arms were wrapped around the brunette's waist. One hand rested against her own forearm, snug over Tara's lap. It was both comfortable and comforting to be able to hold on to her girlfriend after all the chaos. Even though they had been together years now, almost since she hadstartedcollege which was a couple years before the world had fallen, Ange never got tired of being able to have her hands on her girl. If they weren't cuddling then she wanted to be holding her hand orat leastwithin arms reach. What she wanted wasn't always what she got, especially before the walkers had risen and they had conflicting schedules, but now? There were very few reasons in the world that Angela would let her girl out of sight now.
Angela was more than happy to have Maggie join them, and she shuffled just slightly to the side to make sure that there would be enough room left for Josh to sit down with them later after he had finished up. She greeted him with a smile when he finally did join; while she didn't mind the mostly-silence on his part, she hoped that he wasn't staying quiet for anyone else's sake. Eventually Abraham got going and Angela was left thinking. As much as she appreciated being able to be taken in by this amazing group of people, the possibility of a cure was the kind of cause that she needed. She didn't want to leave anyone behind, but at the same time it wouldn't have been the end of the world if they split from everyone to help bring hope back to the world. "So..." She spoke up, louder than any of the small talk made before in hopes of getting the others' attention and seeing what they thought of things. While she didn't consider her and Tara as part of a small "group" with Maggie and Josh by any standard, they were the ones that she trusted most as of yet thanks to their history. She was interested in their opinions on things. "Abraham's thing - with a cure and Washington and Eugene... Do you guys think that it's smart to give it a shot?"
Maggie had stopped to say her goodbyes to Bob before she had sat down; there would never be any good moment to see someone for the last time, so she had gotten hers out of the way in a peaceful talk in which she thanked him for staying by her side ever since the prison had fallen, as well as his time at the prison. When Josh came over he was welcomed by not only Maggie, who leaned in to his comforting touch, but the others as well. Everyone had pretty much expected that Josh would join once he had finished up, so it was no problem for him to take a seat beside his wife. While waiting for him to show up Maggie and the girls had just talked a bit here and there, and after he showed up they continued to do so. Any of his input was welcome, and once again Angela thanked Maggie for helping her reunite with her girl. All the young woman could do was smile back - Josh was responsible for helping them reunite, just as Tara was part of the reason that she was with her husband once again.
The long haired woman had leaned in to her lover's shoulder, playing idly with his hands between their bodies, as Abraham brought up the topic of heading towards Washington once again. While the bulky army man had agreed to stick out the night, he wanted to leave as soon as he could and take everyone with him - which, of course, left Maggie wondering. She had mentioned that she wanted to believe in a cure earlier and now she was wondering if she (they, because she would never do anything without Josh) should consider giving it a shot even if the others decided that they didn't want to. "I think we should go," she mused out loud when Angela brought the subject of traveling to DC up. "I don't want to leave anyone behind, but even if the others don't want to come. I don't want to say that I feel like we owe them - we shouldn't make choices based on obligation unless we have to - but they helped us and I think that means a lot. A cure might be crazy but I would love to see what it might bring."

Cuddling with Angela while making idle conversation with Maggie and Josh, Tara felt peaceful. When the subject of Washington D.C. entered the topic of conversation, it did not require Tara much thinking. She wanted to agree with her girlfriend as well. It was something the two women spoke briefly about in privacy. Now, it seemed Angela was bringing the topic up with two others as well. Josh and Maggie were both behind the idea. Well, they seemed skeptical, but they also realized it would have been potentially beneficial. What if the cure was real? They could help end this. Angela already knew Taras opinion, but she offered it again for the two others. I think we should give it a shot. If it doesnt work, then it doesnt work. What if it does? What if theres really a cure? We could help make sure it happens. Thats something I want to be a part of. Tara responded with a soft smile on her face, just imagining the world at peace again. It was tough to imagine, but at the same time, she wanted to believe it was possible. The four were in some agreement, it seemed. What if they offered to join Abraham, Rosita, and Eugene tomorrow morning?
You know, we could go, right? I know you dont want to leave anyone behind, but you heard Rick earlier tonight. Once we find Daryl and Carol, and the others, we could join them. That was the plan. Think about it, though. Theyre only three people trying to make the trip. We make the numbers bigger. We give everyone a better chance, if we go. Besides, Rick and the others will find us there, just like he promised. Abraham is working on a map for Rick to follow. Everyone will eventually be reunited. Its just a matter of when, and what the state of the world is. Imagine everyone getting to D.C. just to find out that theres already a working cure. Itd be worth the days away from the group. Tara was lobbying hard, because she was truly behind the idea. Plus, she did fill like herself and Angela were closest with this married couple than anyone else in the group. If she trusted anyone in this group (other than Angie, of course), she would trust these two.
During the entire conversation, Josh sat idly beside Maggie. Their hands were locked, fingers interlaced. Feeling the woman leaning into his shoulder, the male wrapped his free arm tightly around her shoulder. The prospect of going to the nations capital was something they mentioned before. It seemed Josh was skeptical about the cure, but hopeful. Listening to the three women talk, also adding his own opinions when needed, gave him something to think about. Now, he knew that Maggie would not go anywhere or do anything without him. It appeared she was interested in joining the trio to Washington D.C. Tara and Angela also seemed intrigued, too. Deciding to agree with his wife, not just because she was his wife, but because he believed it too, Josh responded, I agree with you, babe. Theres a lot of unknowns out there. We dont know if the cure would work. We dont know if theres anyone left in D.C. At the same time, we dont know what is waiting for us now, out there, after we leave from here. I think we should give it a shot. Like Tara said, they have a better chance of reaching Washington if were escorting them. I think the idea is something we should consider.
Having hope for a better future seemed almost useless. The more time they spent out in the world, the more miserable it became. Despite this, Josh did manage to hang onto hope. I think a cure sounds impossible. Then again, I think we all would have said the dead walking the Earth was impossible a couple years ago, now look at us. I dont think anything is quite impossible, now. I think it is a risk, but it could be a worthy risk. Well look out for each other, keep each other safe. I think thats what we should do. Turning to Maggie, Josh squeezed her hand gently, showing that he was in this with her, that he agreed with her. She always had the best ideas, never afraid to make these suggestions. Josh adored it about her, that they were always thinking on the same page. So, does that sound like a plan, then? We can all talk to Abraham in the morning, and well just take it from there. Josh continued, thinking about how wonderful it would feel if they did help secure the cure.

There was something sweet about this moment - Tara in her arms, new friends close by. On one hand Angela would have been content to still be naked and in the back room, but in the end it had been a good thing that they had gotten up when they did given what happened to Bob. Holding on to the love of her life under the flicker of candlelight and the low voices of other people as they settled down had a peaceful atmosphere to Ange as well - it was a solid second to falling asleep bared with her girl in her arms. As long as her and Tara were in agreement with what to do Angela was happy, but it was even better to know that the pair of familiar faces that they had grown accustomed to would also be interested in going with Abraham and them. The more the better, right? Adding a cop and a nurse to the mix would be helpful - Tara was no soldier and she was no first-class doctor or anything of the sort, but together they made four hands with useful skills that would be quite useful in getting the scientist to Washington.
With her arms around Tara's waist, Ange was able to easily give her girlfriend a light squeeze as Maggie spoke up for a moment. She leaned in to press a soft kiss to the brunette's neck before speaking up once more. "Tomorrow morning, then. It's really nice that you guys want to come as well," she motioned towards the married pair near them. "It's worth the hope, I think. Everyone needs something to look forward to. Let's definitely talk to Abraham in the morning. Ah yes, the morning - with all the commotion going on for a while it felt like it was nowhere near as late as it was. With the adrenaline of everything that happened wearing off, Angela was growing more and more aware of the fact that she was gettingtired- maybe not "pass out this moment" kind of tired, but something pretty close to that.
Rick had already talked about joining Abraham, Rosita and Eugene after everything was sorted out, though Maggie did have a bit of a qualm on leaving without them. All in all however, she had Josh by her side and on the same page as her, as well as gratitude foreveryoneinvolved in keeping both her and her husband alive after the fall of the prison. Hopefully everything here would get sorted out fast, though Maggie doubted that would happen, and the missing persons would be back before the group wanted to head out. She knew that even if that didn't happen, Tara was right - whether they left with the trio or not, Rick and the others would be following along as soon as they could. Maggie had a feeling that no onereallybelieved there would be a cure, a touch of skepticism was healthy in a world like this, but if it was? Of course she, and the others, would want to be a part of it. They would likely only be a couple days ahead of the others, and as long as they stuck to the map there was even the chance of the groups meeting up before Washington.
Knowing that Josh agreed with her came as a comfort; the brunette leaned against him so that her shoulder could rest gently against his shoulder. At the same time she squeezed his hand with the same pressure that he had, a gentle and non-verbal affirmation that their agreement wasn't just words. In the end as long as she had him by her side, she would be okay. Josh was family in a way that the others would never be, despite how close everyone had grown since uniting back at her father's farm. "I think that sounds like a plan. I'm sure Abraham will be happy to have someone come along with him, and as Tara said we're never really going to be that far from the others. It's not like they'll be left behind and, well, as long as I have you-" she turned her head to look at her husband with love in her eyes "- I'm happy anywhere. Maybe it doesn't end up working out, but we could be a part of something big and that's worth the shot."

The entire scenario brought a sense of peace for Tara as well, Knowing that the love of her life was nearby made everything feel so much better. The smile honestly did not leave her face as she was being held. The feeling of the blondes strong arms around her was welcoming on levels she never imagined. After such a difficult time in dealing with the people of Terminus, it felt nice to have a slight reprieve, to enjoy their time together. When the girl kissed her neck, Tara felt these sensations coursing through her body, reminding her of the way she felt earlier that evening. It was strange how only a simple touch in such a time or place could turn her own. Angelas touch was basically magic. Yeah, Im glad you two want to join us. I think all of us going would mean a lot. It certainly helps the chances of getting him there safe. Even if Eugenes cure was unfounded and did not work, perhaps Washington D.C. was still somewhat safe, right? Not everything could be lost, especially not the fucking capitol of the country. Tara chose to have hope, for the moment, at least.
The group continued talking, realizing it was a good idea to have hope for something in the future. Maggie and Josh were all in, Tara and Angela were all in. They just needed to speak with Abraham in the morning. They should probably also speak to Rick, but that was something she heard Josh say that he would handle. It seemed like everything was squared away until morning. Now, the girl looked around the church, seeing they were basically the only ones still awake at this time, minus anyone on watch duties. Deciding they should probably get some rest if they are heading out early in the morning, Tara made the soft suggestion. I guess we should get some rest then. Well need to be full of energy when we leave in the morning. We have a long road ahead of us, and it starts tomorrow.
When Maggie turned to face Josh, her words warmed his heart. The look in those beautiful, green eyes made him smile back at her. It was the little things the cute, southern drawl when she talked, the way she smiled at him, the way her lips moved he fell in love with Maggie all over again in that moment, just like every moment of each day. Finally, he draped one arm around her body, pulling her into his chest for a hug. He would have felt like it was criminal if he did not at least give her a kiss, so he did just that. Their lips touched for a brief, few seconds, despite knowing they were sitting there with another group of people. However, considering they were also a couple, he figured they did not mind a little PDA. They seemed quite all over one another as well. Pulling back from the kiss, Josh brought that hand upwards, starting to play with his wifes long hair while listening to Tara finish talking. It sounded like they had a plan for the morning. Before anything happened, though, they needed to get some rest. There was a long road ahead, regardless of what they did.
I agree. We should all get some sleep. I know Abraham and the other two want to get started early in the morning. Well need to make sure we wake up in time to tell everyone our plan. Turing to Maggie again, Josh squeezed her hand one more time. Since it was time to get some sleep, he figured they should find their own little area to sprawl out in each others arms. Im ready when you are, babe. Josh whispered, signaling that he was ready to find somewhere for them to make their bed for the night whenever she wanted, but he was unsure if she had anything else to talk about with the other couple, so he would simply follow her lead whenever she wanted to go elsewhere.

Oh shit - everyone else was asleep. Angela had been pretty focused on the conversation at hand and hadn't realized that - luckily the group had been speaking quietly so they likely had not kept anyone awake. Maggie said some goodbyes and Angela responded in tune, and then the pair of women were left to their own devices. Angela, for one, did not want to let go of her girlfriend. If it was possible to be comfortable sleeping sitting up she likely would have just leaned back and nodded her head to the side so that she could hold on to Tara all night, but they would have to move at least to some degree. Ange gave Tara a squeeze and then let go, a quiet request for her to move a bit. "You too, beautiful," she said, referencing the idea of sleep.
"We have an adventure starting tomorrow, let's do our best to sleep well." With her arms now free she stretched them out, cracking her shoulders as she did so. As she stretched she yawned if Tara hadn't moved yet then she slid herself free in order to lay down. Then she rolled on her side and looked towards the brunette. "I love you so much, I hope you know that. How you wanna do this - little spoon, big spoon, using my tits as pillows again?" The last part was added on with a little bit of a teasing tone to it because she knew that Tara loved her breasts, but at the same time Ange would enjoy any possible way that they could sleep together.
Maggie was also ready for bed, especially considering that they would likely be up bright and early. Nowadays sleeping in was a foreign concept, after all. When Josh said that he was ready to get to sleep she nodded, said a quick goodbye to the girls, and then got to her feet. She held her hand and walked towards a quiet place in the church that was big enough for the pair of them - with so many bodies it was bound to feel a little crowded but as a group they had slept in much smaller, tighter spaces than this. Compared to those days, like the first winter after the world ended where they were constantly on the move. Hell, compared to some of the places they had to stay back then, this church was a five star hotel.
After picking a spot she sat down, using her hold on her husband's hand to urge him down beside her. Once they were sitting she shrugged her boots off and then leaned in to place a soft kiss to Josh's mouth, her lips parting slightly. It was never simply one kiss with Maggie, though - one was followed by a second then a third and once she pulled away she gave him a happy smil. Despite everything that was going on, she was and would always be completely in love with him, and even if tomorrow would mark a change in their path at least they were doing it together. "Good night my love," she said in a soft tone with her lips still inches from her husband's. Her accent was obvious in the way she spoke, soft but still very much there. After that she needed to lean in for a "final" good-night kiss (it would likely not be the last).
gpt
Likewise, Tara bid the other couple a good night. Even though she did enjoy their company, the woman much preferred being alone with her girlfriend. Listening to the blonde reaffirm the need for sleep, Tara responded with a bright smile. The gentle squeeze did tell her they needed to move. Even though it was a comfortable position, it was not final. For the following seconds, Tara remained mostly quiet until Angela had finished moving around. I know. I love you, too... so much. I think you already know how I want to sleep, though. Tara winked playfully before dropping down onto the ground beside her girlfriend. I think Ill go with boobs as a pillow. Giggling happily, she waited until Angela agreed with the idea. It was easily Taras favorite sleeping position, it always had been. However, she did not mind mixing it up. Little spoon. Big spoon. Letting Angela use her breasts as a pillow instead. They were all valid choices.
Before settling her head onto the womans chest, Tara stole another kiss from her lovers lips. Good night, babe. I love you so much. Closing her eyes with a smile on her face, the woman drifted to sleep quickly. She stayed asleep, just like this, resting quietly against her girlfriend. She did not awake until the following morning when the others were moving around too. She hated having to wake the peaceful, sleeping Angels, but they needed to get moving. She placed a kiss onto her lips, hoping to wake her up in a loving manner. Babe, time to get up. It is morning.
Following Maggie away from the two females, Josh settled down whenever she chose a location for them to rest. After the first kiss, Josh knew he should expect at least one more. He returned each peck of the lips, unable to help himself from smiling. Whenever he saw the woman smile, it was impossible to not return the gesture. Her happiness was synonymous to his own happiness, after all. Good night, Maggie. I love you. After the declaration of love, Josh found his lips attached to hers one final time. As anticipated, when it was over, Josh needed just one (maybe two) more kisses before going to sleep. So, he took them, kissing her lips once, then kissing her neck, kissing the corner of her lips, and finally pressing firmly against her lips a final time. Once he was actually finished, Josh pulled away from her a final time.
His arms wrapped tightly around Maggies waist, his hands locking around her waist. He moved so she could put her back against his chest, his face buried against the back of her head. Some might not have liked the feeling of strands of hair in his face all night, but Josh truly did not mind it. Her hair was soft, and it just made him feel happy, for whatever reason. The male slept soundly after closing his eyes, deciding to tangle one of his legs with both of hers before drifting into an unconscious state. Finally, morning came, interrupting the peaceful slumber that Josh felt. Knowing they didnt have time to waist, he brought one hand up to caress the side of her face while his mouth trailed warm kisses along her shoulder. He didnt say anything, though. He only let his actions and his body wake her up so they could get started on their new adventure.

"How did I know?" Angela replied with a teasing remark, but she loved being a pillow. She loved using Tara as a pillow, too - and spooning and pretty much any way that she could fall asleep with that beautiful girl. Angela wasn't picky because everything was a good choice. Tara cuddled up to her and she wrapped her arm around the brunette's form, and it didn't take long before she too fell in to a slumber. Like every night spent at Tara's side, she slept rather peacefully. Once upon a time Ange had not been a morning person - and frankly that was still the case. Shecouldget her ass up on command but she would be at least a little grumpy while doing that. At first all Tara got for her was a displeased groan, but as soon as those beautiful lips of Tara's pressed to hers Ange's attitude changed - at least a little bit.
Barely conscious, she moved just enough to wrap her arms around her girlfriend's body, and hold Tara's lips against her own. After a moment her baby blues peered open, eyelids barely daring to separate, and as soon as she laid eyes on the love of her life her lips turned in to a slight smile. "Hey beautiful," she said before pullng away from Tara's lips just enough to let out a yawn. Her fingertips found the brunette's hair and started running through the locks but only for a minute. After all, Tara was right - and if she spent much longer in such a peaceful moment there was a decent change Angela would find herself passed out again. She took her hands off of Tara's body, which felt like a crime in its own right, and stretched her arms up above her head. "Is anyone else awake yet?" She asked as she leaned up just a bit.
Maggie fell in to the nooks of Josh's body with ease, ending up on her side with his arm around her waist and legs mingled together. Before passing out her fingers tangled loosely with one of his hands and just like that she felt peaceful enough to fall in to a slumber. The night was dreamless but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, and morning seemed to come within seconds. Maggie had still been fast asleep when Josh started kissing her, trying to rouse her from her slumber in a peaceful, comforting manner. It didn't take long before she grew aware of what was going on, and she let out a small moan as she clasped her fingers tight within her husband's. She didn't want to wake up but she neverwantedto wake up - and it only took her a few moments in half-consciousness to realize that the sooner she got moving the better.
"Five me minutes," she barely managed to say as she dug her body against Josh's, pressing against his flesh. She didn't mean to tease, not in that moment at least, but her ass rubbed up against him and the way she grasped at his hand effectively had him touching her breast. She continued to make small, subtle movements for a few moments before her green eyes finally opened slowly, and she turned her head to look to the man of her dreams. In her eyes Josh barely ever looked better than he did first thing in the morning, when she got to lay her eyes on his handsome figure for the first time that day. To some people the newness of such a thing would wear off, but Maggie didn't think it was possible to "get used" to waking up with him. Each morning that came was a blessing, only amplified by having him at her side. "We really do gotta get up don't we?" She mumbled as she released his hand in order to rub sleep out of her eyes.

No matter how displeased Angela acted early in the morning, Tara still found it adorable. She was so cute while groaning and attempting to wake up. Tara just giggled softly when Angela started moving around. Her lips were still tingling after the kiss. The brown eyes gazed deeply into Angelas, watching her face while she was beginning her day. Waking up beside the beauty never got old. It always brought a smile to Taras face when she could start off with a kiss to Angelas lips. Her arms were locked around Angelas in return when she felt the blonde embrace her. Hey, gorgeous. Tara responded with a grin on her lips. Leaning into the touch that Angela placed into her hand, a smile formed on Taras face again. Youre too cute when you yawn, you know? I love watching you wake up. There were so many little things about Angela that Tara adored, and these things were some of them.
As much as she wanted to stay cuddling with Angela, Tara knew they needed to get moving. Yeah, everyone is starting to get up already. We should probably get moving, talk to Abraham, talk to Josh and Maggie. We dont have much time to sit here and kill, sadly. Forcing herself away from the sweet embrace of Angela, Tara moved into a standing position. Her arms and legs stretching out, ready to get moving. She looked towards Abraham, seeing him interacting with Rick, giving the leader a map of the route they were taking to Washington. She could also see Josh and Maggie waking up, preparing to speak with the two men as well. Josh and Maggie are getting up, lets go to them, and find out what were doing next. She murmured softly, but not before pressing a kiss onto her soft lips once more time.
Sadly, my love, we do. Josh responded, chewing on his lower lip. She might not have meant to tease him, but it sure as hell was working. Feeling her ass pressing and shifting against his crotch was not exactly something he could ignore. Plus, finding his hand on her breast until she released his hand to rub her eyes made him feel these feelings as well. Still, he would be alright. He knew, whenever they had an opportunity again, he could find a release with her. Forcing himself to pull away, Josh planted one more kiss onto the womans lips before pushing himself into a standing position. The young man stretched out his body, watching everyone else beginning to wake up as well. Turning his attention back onto Maggie, Josh grabbed the womans hands, helping her up to her feet. Once she was standing, facing him, Josh simply embraced her, giving her a warm hug before pressing another one of his good morning kisses onto her mouth. Just like every night before they fell asleep, the morning when they woke up was full of touching and kissing. Josh would not have it any other way. He was thankful for the contact.
After releasing Maggies body from his, the male reached down to grab one of her hands so they could get prepared for the day. Josh snatched his bag, sliding it over his shoulders. The first thing he did was approach Tara and Angela. It seemed like they were just waking up as well, so that was good. Hey, you two still ready to do this? Josh asked, wondering if they had changed their mind. When it was confirmed that they wanted to see it through, Josh led the way. Abraham and Rick were still talking, planning about the future. Once they reached the two men, Josh decided to call their attention and say that himself, and these others were interested in joining Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita to Washington D.C.

Angela let out another groan as she urged herself in to a sitting position, reluctant but able. As Tara leaned in to give her another kiss Ange met her part way as she'd had the same plan, and then they were up and moving. The blonde kept close to her girlfriend the whole time, from the moment that she sat up through a quick conversation with Josh and Maggie until they had all approached Abraham and the others as a group. That conversation went well and it wouldn't be long before they were on the move. Abraham wanted to leave pretty quickly now that he didn't have to wait to get people to follow and Angela was okay with that. As nice as this group seemed, everyone that she felt close(ish) to would be leaving with her. So she walked back to where the girls had settled down for the night with Tara's hand in hers and then grabbed her bag, getting ready to go. In the corner of her eye she could see Maggie still talking to Rick, though at this point she was being handed some canned goods.
"You ready babe?" She asked Tara after slugging her bag over her shoulders. Ange leaned in to kiss the brunette's cheek and then took her by the hand once more, while the other rested with a thumb in one of the belt loops of her jeans. Her fingertips traced over her knife, the sole weapon that she had, and instinctively curled over the handle. At this point the other pair had walked away from the group and it seemed that everyone was ready to get heading out.
Maggie didn't miss the way that Josh's body had reacted to her movements, and as she turned to look back at his handsome face she knew that she would make up for the teasing at the earliest convenience. For a couple minutes they kissed and cuddled, enjoying the quiet before they joined the waking world. After they finished, reluctantly, they got up and Maggie stole one more hug from him, a tight squeeze around the waist paired with a happy smile. She grabbed her bag as well and slung one strap over a shoulder, following closely behind Josh. The couple approached Angela and Tara, and once everyone was on the same page about still wanting to go the four approached Abraham, Eugene and Rosita. Josh spoke up to let them know that the group was interested in joining. The trio, especially Abraham, were pleased about that. Rick seemed less thrilled but Maggie handled talking to him - the would like end up no more than a couple days apart and as long as they stuck to the course on the map that would not be too terrible. A period of separation would be worth it if they truly did find a cure.
In the end everyone was in agreement, and they would be leaving shortly as Abraham did not want to wait much longer. Having some people go along made him less inclined to wait until noon, so everyone was instructed to get their stuff together and get on to the bus which had just been fixed up. No one had more than the pack on their backs, but some of the canned goods from the pantry that had been raided shortly after arriving at the church had been spared to the group that were parting ways. Maggie hugged some of the people she was closest to before retreating to the door to take Josh's hand and make her way out.

Yes, Im ready. Tara responded with a soft smile gracing her lips. Standing from the position, Tara double checked her bags one final time before agreeing it was time to move. She reached down for her girlfriends hand, her eyes scanning towards the exit. When she spotted the other couple, the brunette started walking forward. When they walked by the rest of the group, a couple of the others did say a goodbye to Tara and Angela, but there was no send off like there was for Josh and Maggie. It was anticipated though. Not everyone felt as strongly about the pair as Josh and Maggie did, but there was certainly good progress being made. When they walked out of the church, Tara spotted the other five people heading towards the church van. Abraham had been working on it most of the morning, making sure that it would run fine. When the two women joined everyone on the bus, she could see Abraham sitting down in the drivers seat with Rosita and Eugene taking a seat down in the two seats directly behind the front.
Tara walked her girlfriend to a couple rows back before sitting down since Josh and Maggie had seemingly taken the seat as far back as possible. She dropped her bags and Angies bags onto the seat opposite from them so they have more room together. She sat down beside the blonde after deciding whether Angela wanted a window seat or an aisle seat. Nonetheless, when they all sat down and prepared for the ride, Abraham was telling everyone to get ready to save the world as he turned the key inside the ignition, propelling them forward.
Even though some of their people did not like the idea of Josh and Maggie leaving, the couple managed to speak some sense into them. If this cure was a real thing, then they could be part of something special. It was not just something they were doing for them. It was for everyone. Plus, Abraham left a detailed map with instructions on the plans he had for D.C., leaving it with Rick. Rick and the others agreed to meet up with everyone in Washington D.C. once Carol, Daryl, and Beth had been found. After the goodbyes, Josh linked hands with Maggie. He could see the other pair getting ready to leave, so they went ahead towards the bus. When they arrived, Josh decided to walk himself and Maggie to the back of the bus, recalling some fond high school memories. When they sat down, Josh decided to wrap one arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his chest. I remember our freshman and sophomore year of high school wed sit in the back every day, wed cuddle, wed kiss, and the driver would get so pissed when we kept touching. He laughed softly, nuzzling their noses together. When they started driving, they would always ride to school together as well.
Sitting in the back of anything was something Josh loved doing with Maggie for the privacy it provided. Once they were ready to get moving, Josh started kissing down her neck, his hands roaming around her shoulders. I love you, baby. This can be great for us. I know everything will end up working out. In the mean time, I think were going to enjoy some cuddling together on the trip. Josh did intend to have his hands all over his wife during the journey. The bus started moving now, and Josh had a great feeling that this was going to work out.

Angela took the window side of the seat, tucked in close to the wall, and held her hand out to Tara to pull her in to the spot next to her. Given the fact that the girls had effectively been grinding on each other the previous night before heading off on their own, it wouldn't seem like Ange was the type to have reservations about public displays of affection - and she didn't, not really. She did have boundaries, though, and unless she was drunk and not thinking straight any touching done in the presence of others was pretty tame. She considered it a respect thing - obviously other people on this bus did not (which she didn't really care too much about given that Maggie and Josh were hiding in the back - as long as they didn't start groping and grinding on each other). If Tara wanted to cuddle up then Angela turned sideways in the seat to pull the brunette back against her that way; if not she settled for a simple handhold.
They were on the move pretty quickly, and she flashed Rick's group a quick smile and wave through the window as they vanished in to the distance. Ange had make sure to thank them before leaving, they had taken her and Tara in after all, but she didn't feel very bad about leaving them behind. She barely even knew the people currently on the bus and they were the ones she'd been around the most. As the church vanished in to the distance she squeezed Tara - either her hand or her waist depending on how she had wanted to sit. "I know I've probably thanked you a million times for being in my life already, but I need to say it again. Thank you. I don't know what I'd do without you babe, and I'm so happy to be on this journey with you."
Maggie was thinking about the same memories as Josh lead the way to the back seat of the bus, and she fell in to it right beside him. She was nearly on his lap and she was okay with that - because almost as soon as she had sat down, Josh had pulled her nice and close. It was nothing new for them to be affectionate with each other and given the familiarity it was hard not to fall back in to old habits. As he talked about their history, the old days when things were simple andeasyand they were nothing but two touchy teenagers in love, she couldn't help but smile and laugh. Maybe they didn'tneedthe privacy (was it really right to get all touchy with so many people around?) but Maggie definitely appreciated it, and she agreed that they would likely have some good cuddle time along the way. It wasn't like they were needed immediately, and everyone seemed content to leave them alone - though that was probably exacerbated by the fact that they pulled away from the group immediately.
"I think I like the sound of that," she said in response, her drawl coming out as she spoke and then brought a gentle hand to Josh's cheek, turning his head just enough that she was able to press her soft, full lips to the flesh of his cheek. Obviously she was not going to let things get too out of hand, she had a lot more respect for others than she did when she was younger, but the way that they were currently kissing and touching was impossible to say no to even if she wanted to. Besides, it was tame. After adjusting her position so that she was nice and close to Josh, her hand found his thigh and gave it an affectionate squeeze.

Tara shared Angelas sentiments regarding public displays of affection. In her opinion, they were both more conservative about touching in public before the apocalypse. That did not mean they abstained from having hands on each other, but it was much more tame than what it was now. After all, it was not like they had any rules or regulations of society to worry about anymore. Furthermore, since the world was so unpredictable, they could lose each other at any point. It was a grim, cold reality that they both needed to understand. Once it was understood, they would begin valuing time together even more than before. For Tara, it meant taking advantage of every opportunity she had of touching and kissing her girlfriend. That was something she cherished deeply. Cuddling up did sound like a great idea. This was not some crowded public bus, so Tara happily leaned against Angela, her back against the blondes chest. It was such a comfortable position, allowing her to easily turn her head and press a kiss onto her lips, offering her a sweet smile while locking eyes with her for a brief moment. Tara immediately felt relaxed, hoping for the best even though this trip was dangerous without any guarantees. Then, she listened to Angela thanking her, which brought a bigger smile to her face.
Aw, babe. No need to thank me. I love you so much and theres nobody else Id rather spend time with, especially now. No matter what happens, Im so happy to be here with you. Nothing will change that. Im never going anywhere, I can promise you that. After offering her another smile, Tara stole one more kiss from her girlfriends lips. Whatever happens in D.C., Im happy that we did this together. I like the idea of us being part of the group that helped deliver the cure. That thought is so special, so sweet. I like the idea of us making a difference outside of our own lives.
Honestly, Maggie probably had more respect for other people than Josh did when it came to the idea of touching and kissing in public settings. It had always been like that. On many occasions, teachers and administrators at their high school were forced to scramble them away from one another between classes. He remembered using the side hallways where not many adults roamed so they could get a good feel and kiss in. Josh remembered how their friends always hated watching them eat lunch together at the table since they were always touching one another. It never bothered Josh. At the same time, he realized the same thing that she did. There was nothing too wild they could do right now, so he settled down enough for some cuddling and kissing as the bus started moving forward. I love you, beautiful. Josh whispered into his wifes ear, slowly threading his fingers through her long hair. Then, he nuzzled his nose against her cheek, simply looking to give her some affectionate loving and care as much as possible. Plus, he knew that she was still probably quite worried about Beth, rightfully so.
The thing that Daryl told them about her abduction was unnerving. On the other hand, he did choose to be positive, hoping that they could find her soon enough. The group was still looking for her, maybe Daryl had picked something up on her trail. Either way, they did know that Beth was strong and could handle herself. This world was so horrible, but they both decided to believe that she was going to be alright. It was even more important to Josh to keep making her smile, to keep her mind occupied. He wanted her to be happy, and he wanted to be the cause of her happiness in a time like this.

Luckily, by now the pair knew each other well enough to know what kind of stuff was and wasn't okay. Angela had most definitely relaxed her opinion of being touchy in public since they had left school and work and what had once been normal "day to day" life because, obviously, things weren't normal any more. It was important to stay close to the people that she cared about because any day could be the last. While she still stayed on the tame side, she didn't care nearly as much about having her hands on Tara around people she wasn't yet comfortable with as she would have in the past. Angela was more than happy for Tara to take the opportunity to cuddle, and pulled the brunette close to her so that she could rest her chin against the other woman's shoulder after accepting the sweet kiss. Ange's arms found their way around Tara's waist and that was that - there was no place in the world that she would have rathered been than right where she was.
"Shush, I'm thanking you anyways," she laughed as she accepted that second kiss. She didn't actually want Tara to be quiet because she loved hearing those affirmations that the brunette wanted to be around, but Tara wasn't the only one who liked to make her appreciation clear. Angela had always been big on making sure that her girlfriendalwaysknew that she was loved and appreciated, even in the few moments over the last few years that they had gotten in to arguments. "Every day that you choose me is a day worth thanking you for it, whether you'd rather be somewhere else or not. There's no one else I would rather have at my side, especially doing something as big as we could be."
When it came to getting handsy, Maggie preferred to be at least just slightly out of sight - and there was a thrill that came with knowing someone could catch them at any moment, especially when they were younger and their hormones were only amplified. While those may have calmed down it was only slightly; just like when they were young the pair were still inseparable and they still did enjoy being hands on. Whether it was cuddling, holding hands or just touching each other casually Maggie always appreciated when Josh was within arm's reach. Kisses (of the calmer variety) were also very, very welcome. If there was a chance that they couldn't be caught she would have been more than happy for things to get more passionate but that simply wasn't the case.
"I love you too," she whispered back as she wriggled further in to his hold. The bus continued to drive on and she was content to stay there in his lap the entire time. Things stayed mostly quiet for a while, though Maggie kept herself occupied with soft chatter to her husband. Occasionally they would be pulled in to conversation with the others and Maggie at least was more than content to chat as needed to but during the down time she was happy to just talk to Josh or even just stay there in the quiet. It wasn't awkward nor uncomfortable - over the years the pair had grown very comfortable with each other even in the quiet that newer or less secure couples would find to be stressful or even problematic. With her head leaned back against his chest she kept her breathing even and deep. She was definitely worried about Beth and that was one of the things that the pair spoke about. They didn't even know if the blonde was actually alive still and as much as Maggie wanted to hold on to the hope that she would see her sister again, she was also preparing to never see that girl's angel face again.
She had just closed her eyes, falling in to a soft slumber, when everyone inside the bus was shaken as it swerved and then tipped over too fast to even properly react.

Everything was going wonderfully well (perhaps that should have been a warning!). Tara and Angela continued talking and cuddling, eventually getting some rest. Tara was awake when shit turned south. There was a loud pop, which signaled one of the tires being blown out. Oh shit, Angela! She squealed while Abraham had difficulty controlling the bus. Shit. It was a miserable place to have something in the bus fuck up. They had just passed his field of walkers that were undoubtedly attracted to the machine, especially now because of the loud sound that just shot through the air. Abraham was swerving, which ended with the bus being flipped on the side, skidding a few yards before it ceased. Tara was thrown across the seat, ending up against what was the roof of the bus. Tara hit her head pretty hard, which caused her vision to go blurry. There was a cut right above her eye that was starting to believe.
What the fuck happened? What did they do? Ah fuck Then, it hit Tara what about Angela? Oh, fuck it. This was not good. It was tough to see anything right now. Hell, it was tough to hear. Ears were ringing and the sounds of commotion from the front of the bus reached her, but she could not decipher it very well. Within a few seconds, she finally recovered to a state of coherency. Looking around, she found wherever Angela landed and grabbed her hand. Babe, oh shit! Are you alright? We need to get out of here. She called out when the smell of gasoline started reaching her nose. This was not good. This bus might explode or catch fire at any second. If it did, well, they were all fucked, so getting out was imperative.
Just like Maggie, Josh had begun to slip into a state of slumber. It was quickly interrupted, though. His eyes opened when the bus swerved. At that point, everything seemed to move in slow motion. Looking out the window, he could see the holy hell they had just driven straight into while crashing the bus. When it began tipping over, Josh had an impossibly tight grip on Maggie, hoping if he could keep her close to his body, a few things could happen: he would take most of the impact, he could shield her body from debris, and it would end in an overall better result for his wife. The tight grip on her did not end until after the bus had fallen and skidded to a halt. Both of his hands were also up, over her head to shield her face from anything else that could have flown around. In a situation like this, it was impossible to guarantee that she was getting out safely but he damn sure was going to try. Eventually he looked down to Maggie and quickly scanned over her body, hoping that she was not hurt too bad.
It did seem like Josh could have taken most of the impact. There were scratches and cuts all along his arms. He had a slight bump on the top of his head which gave him a splitting headache. Josh did not want to self-diagnose himself, but he remembered one time in high school, he got a concussion during a football game. He felt just like he did right now. Either way, he could regain his composure quickly enough to realize they needed to get the hell out of this bus.
Fuck this things about to explode. We gotta get moving. He murmured to Maggie, taking the step forward and pushing the rear doors open. He could hear commotion near the front of the bus, hoping that the others would follow the path out the back. Alright, Maggie. Come on. You first. Josh ordered, pushing her out the door, soon following her as well. Then, he held the door open for the others to pile out as well. However, they had quite the problem ahead of them with the dead closing in. There was nowhere to run, so they had no choice but fighting them.

As the bus toppled, Angela's hold on her girlfriend slipped. She tried to cling - she really did - but in the end Tara was tossed and so was she. Luckily she managed not to hit her head - which was a miracle in itself. "I'm fine," she said as she squeezed Tara's hand. "Come on let's go," she then said as she scrambled over to her lover's spot and did whatever she needed to in order to help Tara get to the back of the bus, whether that was simply a held hand or more of a support. She'd go as slow as she needed to but at the same time they definitelywerein a rush. The last thing that they needed was to be trapped in a burning bus - if that happened, both of their lives would end today. She also saw Eugene still inside and urged him to get moving. After all, what was the point of surviving this mission if the man of the moment didn't make it?
Maggie wanted to hold back to help the others out but she knew that Josh wouldn't tolerate it - in fact he pushed her out before she even had a chance to think straight. While she didn't think she was hurt, she definitely was stunned and only once her feet hit the ground did she properly realize what was going on. She eyed their surroundings as the others made it out of the bus - and the dead were definitely moving in. She grabbed her knife and raised it, preparing to bury it in to the skull of one of the closest ones. "We're gonna have to fight our way out of this," she said. While she was mostly talking to Josh, it was also a statement to the group in general. She hoped that the crash hadn't hurt anyone too bad, especially given that they were going to have to fight.

Unfortunately, Eugene appeared too petrified to even move. That was going to be a big fucking problem. A walker tried to bust in through the window, near Eugene. Pulling away, reluctantly, from her girlfriend, Tara quickly stabbed the rotted head before it could attack Eugene. Come on, Eugene. It is time to be brave! She shouted, hoping that was enough to get him moving. The woman even gave him a knife he could use, which he took and followed Tara and Angela outside. Finally, everyone was away from the bus and moving around. Just then, a walker came up behind Tara, but Eugene actually stepped up and killed it before she could be attacked. It took them at least ten minutes, but they were finally able to take down all the walkers around them. Tara made sure that Angela stayed close during the encounter, making sure that she was not harmed during the process of fighting. It did appear that she was fine. Abraham said someone should check Eugene to make sure he wasnt hurt, so Tara basically pulled Angela with her to check him out. If he was, the nurse here could help him, but Eugene looked unharmed.
Even though everyone was important, Abraham obviously wanted to make sure that Eugene was not hurt. The mission was clear and this man might be the cure that everyone had been looking for. However, Tara thought it was suspicious that Eugene wanted to return back to the church already. Shouldn't he want to do whatever he could to get the cure to people he knew in D.C.? It was almost like Eugene felt guilty about almost getting these people hurt or even killed in the crash, but Tara decided to not voice her opinion right now.
When the walkers were defeated, Josh quickly pulled Maggie towards him. After ensuring that everyone was safe, Abraham suggested they grab their supplies from the bus before moving on. Unfortunately, before they could get back to the bus, it caught up in flames, exploding to destroy every piece of evidence it even existed. The only things they had were any bags they managed to snag before exiting the accident. Eugene suggested that they should move back to the church while Abraham insisted they kept going with the mission. Basically, Josh was in support of continuing on since it was so important to get to D.C. If they did this successfully, it would be worth the wait. However, Abraham took a nasty hit during the crash. Before they went on, they needed to make sure the older male was good to go. It seemed like he was, so once everyone was reassured that the mission was still on, the group decided to move out, hoping to find something else they could use for transportation other than their own legs. It was going to be a long road ahead, but the positives from doing this would far outweigh anything they encounter now.
As they began walking, the male reached down for his wife's hand again. He managed to snag one of their backpacks before exiting the bus, but that was about it, other than the gun and knife he had on him. "You alright?" He asked softly, hoping that the woman was holding it together now since the mission just got a whole hell of a lot harder.

Of coursethe man would end up being scared shitless - when hadn't he been so far? It was kind of disappointing that Eugene couldn't even look after himself enough to get himself out of the bus, but at least the women were able to help him out. He looked un-injured but they would have to wait until the crowd of the dead were gone before she would be able to properly check him out. Ange kept close to her girlfriend's side the entire time and didn't even spare a foot between them unless she absolutely had to. Once everything was dead, she obviously decided to go help out. Eugene got the first check over of course, given that he was the VIP of this mission, but Ange was extra careful about looking Tara over as well, and then everyone else in order of who seemed to have it worst. She herself had no worse than a couple scrapes here and there, luckily. Things could have been much, much worse and life could have been lost.
Eugene did look suspicious, though. If his mission was so important why would he want to turn back? That seemed way too cowardly, even for him. It wasn't her place to say anything, she knew virtually nothing about this group still, but she would be keeping her eye on him. Like the others, she was in agreement that they should keep moving on. While the bus was now useless, they should be able to find a car or something nearby. If not... Well, night was going to come so they needed a roof over their heads anyways. They wouldn't make it back to the church before darkness fell.
It absolutelysuckedto lose their supplies to the bus fire. They hadn't had nearly enough in the first place and now they had even less - the only weapon that Maggie had on her was a knife, and she'd left her bag under the seat before the bud had toppled. She'd had a few days worth of canned goods for them to eat - a terrible loss. While they weren't outright screwed, they were not in a good place now. As Angela did her rounds on the whole group, Maggie had stuck by Josh's side. "I'm good, just a few scratches and nothing that seems too major," she promised him as she gave him a tight squeeze and then a kiss. "What about you? It looked like you took quite the tumble, I hope you're alright."
When Angela passed them over, Maggie had said she was fine - the blonde didn't seem to believe that. She appreciated the other woman's concern, but the worst of her injuries was a touch of dizziness. She had no major open wounds, cuts or gashes and no searing headache. It seemed like she was going to be just fine. Like the others, she thought that it was important to continue on the mission. Even if they had to walk some ways in order to find a place to hold out for the night or a car to keep moving in, that would bemuchbetter than turning back.

Not long after the crash, it was revealed that Eugene lied about having a cure. The group was upset at him, rightfully so. However, Tara was among the members that believed in forgiveness, that Eugene should not be exiled or punished, even if Abraham seemed like he might kill him for a split second. It was tough to continue on, but the group started the journey, trying to link back up with the rest of the group. They did, just outside of Atlanta and the Grady Memorial Hospital. Tara did not know the girl, but she knew the girl was Maggies sister. Beth was killed during the rescue attempt, which left everyone in the group devastated. Still, they were forced to continue on, to look for something better in Richmond, where Beth had intended on heading when she escaped the hospital. Tara and Angela quickly became assimilated and accepted in the group, much easier than the brunette thought.
Following that catastrophe at Richmond where Tyreese was killed, the group fell on hard times with little food, water, supplies, or shelter. They were being watched, though, confronted by a man after one of the worst storms Tara had ever seen. The group was eventually talked into the offer of going to a community, a place called Alexandria. Tara was surprisingly optimistic about it, believing that it could be something beneficial for the group, she wanted to believe it was real. Now, she was riding along in the small RV that the group had, approaching the gates of this supposed safe haven her hand was in Angelas, hoping for the best.
Tragedy happened. They found Beth, but she was dead before they could even see her. Of course, Maggie was crushed, but Josh was, too. All his life, she had been like a little sister to him, always believing she would be his sister-in-law, even as a teenager. Maggie and Josh grieved together, but despite how horrible it was, they did not let their spirits die. No. Beth would want them to keep fighting, to keep living as best as they could. That was how they honored her, so they kept soldiering on. If anything, it only brought them closer together. Life was so finite, and that was just proven to them in a gruesome, brutal way. Josh held Maggie tighter, he loved Maggie harder, and promised to never let themselves get separated. When the group was found by Aaron, Josh was more skeptical at first, but Maggie eventually talked him into being open to the idea.
When the convoy of vehicles arrived to Alexandria, they were told to stop, exit their vehicles. Josh climbed out of the truck with Maggie, linking hands with her as the gates opened. He could hear the sounds of children playing and laughing in the streets. With each second that passed, the more of the community he could see and it looked just like it was advertised, houses upon houses, just like it was untouched by this outside world.

Just when the group had been reunited and things had started to seem like they were looking up, the world crashed down around them once again. First she lost her father and then as Daryl carried her sisters limp body out of the hospital she lost her sister as well, which left Maggie truly without any part of her birth family. She wasnt along, though. She had the family that she had made along the way as she trudged through the apocalypse, a group who had each others backs through whatever may come. More than that, she still had Josh. If it wasnt for him, the day she lost Beth may have became the day that she gave up. A true partner kept someone strong, though, and like always that man had done everything he could to lift her spirits and remind her of how Beth would have wanted her to carry on. Her was right, of course. He reminded her to soldier on and keep fighting.
She was skeptical at first when the group first found Aaron, but it wasnt long before she saw it as an opportunity - a light at the end of the tunnel. Kids, power, walls. Maggie had seen enough of the bad in the world to know she needed to maintain her reservations about what this place could offer, but she was a dreamer who would never stop holding on to hope and trying to find salvation even if it would never come.
Hey, this place does seem really nice, she remarked as she tucked her body close to Joshs, squeezing his hand as they finally made their way through the gates. They had been asked to hand over their weapons and that left her feeling nervous, but that wasnt enough to put her off yet. There was no telling what was going to happen from here but the first impression was positive, and she looked around the walled-in community with wonder. it seemed almost pristine, like it had been untouched by the outside world this whole time. Well kept at the very least, which is hard to find these days.
gpt
"Yeah, it really is well-kept." Josh agreed. It was only natural that he kept Maggie close to his side the entire time. His arm remained looped with hers, keeping her body close to his own. Josh was protecting her, ready to fight any threat that showed up. Plus, he just wanted to make sure that everyone here in the community knew that the gorgeous woman joining their town was very much taken! Part of the initiation process was doing an interview with Deanna Monroe, the community's leader. Apparently, she used to be a congresswoman from Ohio, and now she was a leader in this community. She explained that Alexandria was previously a sustainable community complete with its own solar grid, cisterns, and eco-based sewage filtration. These interviews were supposed to be done on an individual basis. However, Josh refused to leave Maggie's side and Deanna eventually caved, allowing the couple to be interviewed.
She seemed to like the way they were so closely connected. It was obvious that relationships like this did not last long in the world anymore. They were also interviewed about their lives before the outbreak and after, trying to find jobs for them. It could be changed, however, Josh seemed like a great fit for the police role with Rick. Maggie could be a leader. Deanna wanted Maggie working with her, trying to learn from her. Basically, Deanna said she wanted this group to help this community to survive. She did a great job of selling it. Josh was becoming more open to the idea the longer they spoke.
Everyone could separate into smaller groups and have their own home. However, the majority of the group wanted to stay together to make sure they were able to stay safe. Josh could understand it, but the idea of actually being in a home with Maggie was wonderful. That was always their goal, right? They wanted to have a life together. They wanted to have a home together. They could make it happen in a roundabout way, so as they stood outside one of the houses watching the rest of the group enter, he spoke. "Maggie, do you think we should stay with everyone? Or... what about using one of the empty houses for ourselves. You can tell me if you think I'm being crazy but I really like the idea of that... of having our own house."
human
With every moment that passed, Maggie was taking in her surroundings and trying to come to a more thorough judgement of what Alexandria was and had to offer them - the first impression was quite good, she had to admit, but she also knew good and well that oftentimes things werent quite what they seemed. All in all the place seemed to be decent, though. Going in to the interview with Deanna, it became clear that she was used to persuading the masses and that her time in congress had given her the kind of skills needed to rope a group like this together and keep morale high. Maggie enjoyed the idea of staying around, and as the interview went on she could see in Joshs eyes that he was becoming more open to that idea as well. That was good - Maggie would follow her husband wherever he may go, but staying with the group would be ideal.
Maggie was on board with the idea of sticking around a house or two with the majority of the group as they had suggested because she too saw the value in keeping the people she knew and trusted closer. However, just like Josh she found herself in a fantasy world where they had their own little house of their own - in another life, one not so far detached from the one they were living now, that would have been the next step in their life. Shed wanted to stay at home with her father getting older, keep an eye on him and help with the farm - but one day either that farmhouse or maybe one a little bit like that would have been their own to call home.
Its like you can read my mind, Maggie said to him as she wrapped her arms loose but caringly around Joshs waist. A sweet smile formed on her lips and she tilted her head up to be able to kiss him, as she absolutely loved how they seemed to be on the same page. Dont get me wrong, I see the benefit in sticking with the others at least for a little bit.Buutthere are other empty houses and I think it would be quite lovely to finally get to play house with you like wed always dreamed of. Clearly, the young woman was all on board for the idea, and thrilled that Josh had suggested it.

When Maggie wrapped her arms around Joshs waist, Josh repeated the process with Maggie. His own arms wrapped around the brunette loosely, too. When she told him that it was like he could read her mind, well, that just put a big smile on his face. It did not shock Josh in the slightest when they were on the same page again. They were always on the same page. So, he stole a kiss from her lips and eagerly nodded his head. That settles it, then. Were gonna use one of these empty houses and live in it together. Well just play it by ear from there. Secretly, Josh had been hoping that would be her answer. It appeared that he was given the answer he wanted! Im so happy you agreed to this. Lets tell the others. Reaching down, Josh linked his fingers with Maggies. He walked forward with Maggie until they reached the group. Josh took the liberty to explain their decision to everyone. Sure, it might not be the most logical decision to make. However, he did not really care. It was what they wanted.
They grabbed their bags and their belongings and were soon heading over to another empty house. It was the house right beside the two that the entire group was using. As he gathered their bags, he glanced at Maggie, thinking about how lucky he was again to have her. I cant believe were doing this. We actually have our house, our very own house. Of course, Josh loved to make it so much more dramatic by lifting Maggie up into his arms. He wanted to carry her the short distance from this house to their new house. He had a feeling that Maggie would not mind it at all, though. She never did.
Now, he scooped her right up in his arms, keeping her close. I love you so much, babe. He whispered into her ear, kissing her on the cheek. He carried her up to the front porch and opened up the door. After that, he pushed inside, dropping their bags down and finally setting Maggie back down onto her own feet once they were inside. His eyes scanned the room and he found it all to be pretty damn impressive. Wow this looks so much nicer than anything weve had since the farm, really. Josh pointed out. What do you think?
human
Home- such a strange concept in a world like this, but one that Maggie would love to find solace in nonetheless. It would never be the same as the days back when they were at the farm, but life moved on and they had no choice but to accept that and roll with the punches. Even the prison had felt like home, after a while.
Maggie grinned wide as her husband put her back down on the ground, and she didnt release her arms from their gentle hold around her neck until long after her feet hit the floor and shed had a chance to lean in and kiss him. Only then did she take in her surroundings and come to appreciate just how good of a decision choosing their own home had been. The inside of the home looked just as pristine and untouched as the outside, and within seconds the young woman knew that she wished to turn this in totheirhome more than anything.
Its absolutely wonderful, she said with a grin, the love in her eyes making it clear that even if all theyd had was a run-down shack and the clothes on their backs she would find anything to feel like home as long as she had Josh with her. This was a really good decision, I think. Thank you so much for bringing it up, my love. Now - should we check it out a bit more? She leaned away just enough to gesture towards the living room and the archway towards the kitchen, excited to see what all their little house had to offer.
gpt
Of course, Josh thought it was a great idea. However, being able to see the look in his wifes eyes once she took in the surroundings made it that much better! Joshs smile continued to grow as she spoke. This was an incredible moment for sure. Im glad you think so, babe. I agree. This was the right move to make. I agree. We should check out the rest of this place and see all that it has to offer for us. Again, Josh eagerly nodded his head, excited to really make their home feel like a real home.
To explore the house, Josh reached out for Maggies hand, allowing their fingers to link together as they started walking. The living room was huge, too! Wow. This looks just like I would have expected our dream house to look, pretty much. Weve got a sofa, recliners all kinds of furniture and cabinets. Maybe we can borrow Aarons camera or some camera to take some pictures together and set them up here.
Josh explained his thinking with a smile. I know, thats probably really cheesy of me but I cant help it. I think it would be cute. Then, they went into the kitchen. They had everything they would really need oven, sink, drawers, cabinets a nice table to eat. The lights all worked and everything looked really clean. Wow, this is truly special. Josh whispered softly, looking at Maggie. What do you think so far? Still enjoying it? We still have upstairs to explore as well. He figured there was at least a bedroom and a bathroom upstairs, but he wasnt sure what else.

Hand in hand walking through the home, Maggie felt like a newlywed with her husband moving in totheirfirst home together - which in a way was exactly what this experience was. The giddiness left her feeling light from head to toe as they began their short adventure, and with every room they entered she justhadto stop and twirl her body around, grab her husbands other hand and steal a somewhat chaste yet still quite passionate and caring kiss from him. Though she had a lot of domestic and loving ideas flooding through her head at their own little home, she also would have been lying if she tried to claimallof her thoughts were pure... this much private space for them to call their own opened up a lot of opportunities that they hadnt had since before the world had ended.
I love that idea, Maggie said, referencing Joshs idea about borrowing Aarons camera. In a world like this, memories were all that they had for the most part. There would definitely be something magical about being able to capture some of those moments, be able to look back and see the smiles on their faces as they spent a while in peace. As promising as Alexandria seemed to be, it would be a stretch to expect anywhere on this planet to stay safe forever. One day they were likely going to want to have those kinds of memories to look back on fondly. I might have to go bug him once everything calms down, she said as they made their way to the kitchen.
Each room left Maggie feeling like she was some kind of nobility in a world like this - these kinds of luxuries were few and far between. I think were going to settle in real nice here, she said as she brought her hands to Joshs hips and gently stepped back until her back was pressed against the wall and there was a small gap of space between them. I think well settle in ever better with a bed of our own again She passed her husband a playful grin, a double entendre in her words as she wasnt just referencing the fact that theyd been without a proper place to sleep for a while.

The experience was breathtaking and Josh was not just referring to the house. Watching Maggie twirling around, giddy with joy as she kissed him made the male feel like he was either embedded within a Disney princess movie or a Lifetime romance movie. These were not complaints. Considering most days were ripped from horror films, it was nice to have a break from the status quo, especially when that status quo often ended in bloodshed and terror. Not a single negative thought would even attempt penetrating Joshs mind right now. Maggie managed override anything negative with that smile on her face.
Yeah, it would probably be too much of a bother to fool with it right now. Once we settle in, I doubt he would have an issue with it. Besides, Aaron was clearly in love with someone, too. His relationship with Eric was a beautiful one, even Josh could see it from outside of their relationship. So, if Josh and Maggie wanted to steal his camera for a fun couples photoshoot in their new home, something told Josh that Aaron would not deny them of that opportunity. Pushing that thought to the side for now, Josh focused on what Maggie said.
The meaning behind her words was not lost on Josh. Even if he had not picked up what she meant based on the words she had spoken, that look in her eyes would have most definitely given it away. I really like where this is heading. I think we should keep traveling down this road. Winking, Josh reached down and placed his own hands on Maggies hips. Those large hands slid down to the back of her thighs before he lifted up and allowed her to wrap those legs around his waist. Joyfully, Josh carried his wife from that wall into the bedroom, only releasing her once they reached the bed.
From there, not wanting to let her go completely, Josh took a seat on the edge and adjusted Maggie so she could straddle him and face him while he decided to lay back against the bed, now looking up at his wife. Now, the question is. Did we want to explore this bed right now? Or did you want to wait? Josh asked, having no qualms about waiting if she was not feeling in the mood.
human
Another stream of giggles escaped Maggies lips as her husband lifted her up off of the ground and pulled her legs around his waist - instinctively her thighs pressed in to the side of his body and behind him her legs crossed at the shin to hold on to him. There was no doubt in her mind that Josh could support her weight - even if he wasnt military he had always been strong, and though she was on the taller side she was not a big girl. Nonetheless, she always loved an opportunity to hold on to her husband, cling to him with all of the love that she had.
On the way up to the bedroom she had her temple rested against his shoulder, and more than once along the way she stole an opportunity to lean in and kiss Joshs neck. Once on the bed Maggie had no qualms about the way they rested together, though she did steal a kiss before Josh laid back. Then, for just a moment, Maggie took a much-needed opportunity to simply admire how lovely this man was. Did she want to wait?
The longest Id want to wait is long enough to get in the shower instead, she said to him - there was no denying that no one was at their cleanest after being on the road for so long. Hot water, soap - each other Of course, they had always tried their best to stay as clean as possible and they could always share the sweet intimacy of washing each other up and down afterwards. Maggie left the idea in the air, a mischievous look in her eyes telling her husband that one way or another, she wanted to be close to him.

Showering. Of course! Why didnt Josh think of that? You know what, babe? I completely looked over the fact that we have running water now. I think that I was so focused on you that I totally forgot about everything else. When was the last time they had an opportunity to comfortably shower? The prison? Josh did not necessarily count washing off in various rivers and streams! Lets get a shower, then. Before moving away, since Josh finally had Maggie in a bed again, he crawled on top of her. His entire body straddled hers while he leaned down and kissed her passionately.
As always the kiss was full of love and desire, giving her just a hint at what was waiting for her in the shower with him. When Josh pulled back, that smile was still on his face. They had a slice of their own personal heaven for now, however long it would last. It looks like youre going for another ride. By that, Josh meant he was going to carry her to the bathroom just as he carried her into the bedroom seconds ago. Rolling around onto the wide of the bed, he reached down and lifted her up into his arms again.
After Maggie latched on, he carried her into the bathroom and placed her upon the counter with a smile. There you go babe. Ill get everything ready for us you just take off your clothes. He winked at her, stepping back so he could turn on the water. He grabbed the towels as well, placing them onto the racks of the shower, ready for them to use. There was already soap and shampoo inside, so they just had to get naked and jump in now. He turned to his wife to do that exactly.
human
Right?Right? Maggie said with a grin as she watched the reality that they, for the first time in a very long time, had running water at their fingertips grace her husbands mind. It was like watching a lightbulb go off in someones head and Maggie loved little moments of giddy excitement. Really, though - what could possibly be better? Getting naked under a steady stream ofhotwater, not just a river or luke-warm low pressure stream at best, cleaning up Maggie loved any excuse to have her hands on her husbands body, of course, but she really did love the sweet intimacy of soaping him up - as well as how easy it was for things to take a dirtier turn.
She wasnt in a rush to get up after he climbed on top of her, and Maggie lost herself in the kiss. Her hands found her husbands cheeks and she caressed the skin of his face. In the last moment before they pulled apart her thumb trailed along his cheekbone, and once she was back in his arms like theyd been just moments before she was endlessly happy about having such a blissful, idyllic little place to call their own.
Only if you do too, she quipped after he told her to take her clothes off, half temped to make a bratty little remark about how he should make her. Obviously if they were going to hop in to the shower then Josh would end up stripped down as well, but Maggie was feeling a little bit cheeky. As he had finished up gathering what they would need she had stripped down to her underwear, and after he turned to face her she het his gaze. Then, wicked grin on her face and still holding her gaze with his, she undid the snaps on her bra and let the fabric fall away from her body slowly.
gpt
A ragged breath shuddered from Josh's lips when Maggie allowed the bra to fall down her body so effortlessly. All of a sudden, her breasts were free and it made the man drool. By now, Josh felt like he had seen Maggie nude thousands upon thousands of times. No matter what the actual number was, he would never stop thinking about how gorgeous she was. "I guess I should do the same..." Trialing off, Josh began to undress as well. The shirt was disposed of first. Then, the jeans were tugged down right after. Finally, he stepped out of his boxers once he pulled them down, leaving him nude. As always, Josh hoped that Maggie enjoyed looking at his body the same way he enjoyed looking at hers.
Obviously, Josh knew that sex and physical appearance did not compose the entire relationship. However, it was certainly part of it! Josh wanted Maggie to feel attracted to him, of course. Now that he was nude, he stepped forward and placed his hands over both of her breasts. "Oh, wow... look at this. Now that the sexiest woman in the community is here with me, I have to make sure I take advantage of this opportunity. I'll have to make sure everyone sees that you are taken, too." Josh could tell that many were checking Maggie out when they walked through. As her husband, he could not exactly blame then. And, he knew he didn'tneed to do anything, but he always enjoyed it when showed some possessiveness over him, just as she usually enjoyed the same shows from him.
After he pulled back from her chest, he took a crouching state in front of her. Then, he gripped her underwear with his teeth, deciding to pull her underwear down her legs, as far as he could reach. Now, all she had to do was step out of them. He figured it would be fun to remove her underwear like this, instead of just with his hands. "Now, shall we step into the shower?"
human
Maggie was also of the belief that sex wasnt the most important part of the relationship - what mattered more than the act itself was compatibility between the people involved. Luckily for these two, sexual compatibility had never been an issue. Maggie was insanely attracted to her husband, to a degree that she wouldnt have thought was possible if it wasnt for the fact that she got to spend her life with him. Sometimes just the sight of Joshs body or a look in his eye was enough to get her going - and if he actually touched her?
Im all yours, Maggie said as Josh palmed her breasts, arching her back to push the mounds in to his hold. Maybe it was odd, but the idea of Josh acting all possessive over her set off a primal reaction in her. It was clear to say that Maggie was definitely appreciating the sight of her husbands body bared before her, and she was about to slide her hand down towards his hips when when he pulled away and crouched down in front of her. It only took a moment and then she could have sworn shed developed a second heart beat, this one between her thighs, and she couldnt hold back a gasp breath as Joshs face neared her body.
As long as she could, her fingers melded in with his hair, and even after all this time she could struggle to keep her composure when he touched her. Left with nothing more to do other than step out of the little clothing she still wore, Maggie did just that - smiling down to her husband, she lightly kicked the last article away. Why yes we shall, she said as she held her hand down to him, moving towards the water. Visible steam had her antsy in a different way - a nice warm shower was going to be absolutely lovely. As soon as they were both able to move, Maggie was trying to pull them both in to the water.
gpt
Josh felt that this position was fitting. On his knees in front of Maggie, it looked like he was ready to worship her. In a way, that was exactly what was going on here. To him, she was practically a goddess. Just look at her! Look at that smile. He could have knelt in front of her for the rest of the night and admired every inch. However, once her hand was extended, Josh reached up to accept her hand. He linked his fingers with her fingers before standing to his feet. Allowing her to lead the way, Josh stepped into the shower behind her, pulling the glass door closed behind him. Wow. These arent just any houses they are pretty damn fancy. Laughing softly, Josh spent time checking out the shower. It was easily the biggest, classiest shower he had ever seen before in his entire life.
After spending time evaluating the shower, his eyes refocused on Maggie. But sharing it with you makes it even better. Josh clarified when he stepped underneath the shower. The force of the water was enough to shower them both at the same time, essentially. Josh wasted little time with sliding his hands through her hair, starting the process of washing her long locks. This still feels surreal to me. I cant believe we are actually doing this. This reminds me of our apartment days. We pretty much showered together every night. Those were some amazing memories. Josh whispered the words, nuzzling his nose against her nose too.
But making new memories will never be a bad thing. Im always going to enjoy anything that gives me another excuse for touching you. Josh whispered behind her, now taking the soap so he could wash down her back. Then, Josh focused on washing down her shoulders and her arms as well, moving down her chest and her waist. He made sure to give her a good washing, mixing with simple fun touching as well, his lips finding her skin whenever possible.
