"Are you okay?"  Alex questioned as she Laid on Glenn's bed, as he re-bandaged her wound for the second time, Merle having ripped one of her stitches she instructed Glenn on how to repair them based on what Eli had taught her after refusing to let Hershel do it. 

"yeah." He answered bluntly, despite the anger burning throughout his body, his touch was still gentle and caring, he took his time repairing her stitches, gently caressing her skin with his thumb to distract her from the pain, no matter how angry he was, how sad he was, his touch remained kind. he finished patching Alex up and she sat up, looking down at him she noticed the redness around his neck.

"it hurt?" she asked her fingers gently brushing against the skin of his neck he shook his head offering her a soft smile despite his pain. Guilt again plagued him. merles words replaying in his mind, the governor did what he did to Alex... and Glenn did nothing to stop it, nothing to get back at him. 

"don't listen to anything he says okay?" her voice was soft as she cupped his cheek his sad eyes looking up into hers, he nodded softly. he listened to her words, and he knew he should ignore every word that leaves merles mouth, but it just didn't work like that.

"I don't know... I don't know what's going on with us Glenn. but I care about you. this whole thing- it's um- it's a lot for me. I don't want to let myself enjoy whatever this is. but I'm trying" He noticed the waver in her voice, the way her eyes darted away from his, the pain consumed her eyes seemed permanent. 

"that's all I'm asking for" He smiled softly his hand reaching for hers that was on his cheek, taking her hand in his their fingers intertwined as he brought her hand up to his lips, placing a gentle kiss on the skin on the back of her hand. for the first time in a long time, she felt that slither of hope. her confession wasn't much, but it was enough for him.

A few hours later, Alex had spoken to Maggie while they'd eaten lunch, as time went on Alex prepared to take over being on watch as headed up to where Glenn was keeping watch. Gun over her shoulder she approached, She saw him his shoulders covered by a red flannel shirt he was wearing, one she partially liked.

"it's my watch" she stated as she walked up behind him, his tense shoulders loosened as he heard her voice, turning to look at her a few strands of hair falling onto his forehead she couldn't help but appreciate his beauty.

"It's alright I got it" he sighed, he'd barely said a word since they'd last spoken, merles words were eating at him. What the governor had done to Alex pained him. The guilt he felt over it consumed him.

"I'll keep you company then" Alex shrugged, She knew how he felt about it, and she knew how he'd been trying to hide his anger and guilt from her. She wanted to help, Yet she didn't know how. She was never good at making people feel better, she never knew what to say, Eli did...

"hell of a chokehold" Glenn stated, his glance on the outskirts of the prison shifting to Alex as she leant over the fence, a small smile tugging at his lips as he tried to make light of the situation.

"I should've put him to sleep. I could've if it wasn't for well you know" She smiled softly looking out into the prison yard, Glenn nodded as silence returned as he tried figuring out what to say. what could he say? he still wasn't sure how she could even bare to be around him after everything that had happened.

"When we got back from Woodbury... I made it all about me, you needed your space and I didn't give you that." he sighed looking over at Alex, Her eyebrows furrowed together as she looked over at him the guilt again showing in his eyes. The whole time he'd been on watch, that is what had been consuming his thoughts. what he had been overthinking.

"I didn't need my space from you. I just needed my space in general.. something happened a while ago it just made me think about that. I needed to process what happened. you're all good. we're good" Alex offered a small smile tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I'm sorry" His voice was soft as he looked into Alex's striking blue eyes, her heart ached. if she could rid him of the guilt she would. if she could take his pain she would, she was used to it after all.

"I know it's okay" Something about him, it just made her want to keep him safe, she didn't want him to feel any more pain. she didn't want him to lose the light in his eyes the way she had. but maybe she was already too late to stop that from happening to him... and Carl.

"I'm sorry" he repeated pulling Alex into a hug. his arms wrapped around her waist as he buried his face into her neck, Alex hugged him tightly.  her arms wrapped around his neck as she held him close and there it was again, that warmth flooding through her body. 

"god Alex I really care about you" A different word almost slipped from his lips yet he was able to stop himself as he hugged her tightly, she rubbed his back gently trying to ease the pain he felt as she smiled. he broke the hug, yet his hands remained on her waist as his forehead leant against hers.

his eyes flickering down to her lips before he closed the gap. his lips were soft against hers, butterflies returning to Alex's stomach as she kissed him back Glenn took control pressing her against a wooden panel against the fence, their lips moulded together perfectly. Alex's hands wandered down his chest slipping under the material of his Flannel shirt as she deepened the kiss yet the growling of walkers in their ears made him pull away.

"I can't do this" he smiled looking behind her at the walkers growling at the fence in the prison yard all of their eyes glued to the pair. Alex let a small giggle leave her lips at the look on Glenn's face. Alex turned her head looking behind them at the walkers before pressing another kiss to his lips, her hand found his their fingers intertwining.

"come here" she smiled leading him into a small room which once was a storage cupboard, he chuckled following her. Closing the door behind him he turned his lips automatically finding Alex's again. In seconds she'd taken off the red flannel shirt he'd been wearing.

"keep that shirt. I like it," she smiled against his lips as it fell to the floor, he smirked pressing his lips against hers again, his hands finding the hem of her shirt carefully pulling it from her body he revealed her covered breast and the bandage that covered her wound reminding him to be gentle with her.

Eagerly the pair rid themselves of their clothing, Alex's hands fumbling with his belt as her eyes admired his shirtless torso, the sight of his body making her mouth water. Glenn eagerly tried pulling her pants down only to unsteady her almost making her fall. Alex chuckled at his eagerness, a big change from the last time they'd been together in this way. Pulling her boots off she pulled her trousers off.

Glenn positioned himself on the floor, leaning against the wall Alex straddled him unzipping his jeans she pulled them down slightly, Glenn's heart racing as she pulled him from the confines of his boxers, her hand wrapping around his length making his breath hitch as she positioned herself properly on top of him.

All the anger, guilt, and Tension the pair had been feeling being forgotten in seconds their focus purely being on each other. a quickie in a storage cupboard was not how Alex had imagined the second time the pair would have sex. The heat in her lower stomach was too strong to stop, she needed him. She always did.

She wanted to give him head, she wanted to watch him fall apart beneath her. She wanted to taste him. But she needed to give him everything in that moment. and all he wanted was her.
 her breath feathered down his neck sending blood rushing to his already semi-hard cock.  he groaned as she positioned herself on top of him, lining him up to her core.

"Be careful I don't want to hurt you" He whispered, Alex smirked as she lowered herself on top of him. the moan leaving his lips completely making him forget his last sentence. he needed to stop being so careful. at least that's what Alex thought.

Their lips connected again, Whimpers leaving Glenn's lips as his arms reached around Alex's back to undo her bra, she slowly began moving up and down on his cock as he pulled her bra from her body revealing her tits that were almost in line with his eyes. the sight of her body made his heart race, he felt like the luckiest man in the world as Alex tilted her head back soft moans leaving her lips as she got herself off on his cock. the sight of her erotic, taking in every part of it, every part of her.

Leaning forward Glenn pressed his lips against Alex's breast, The sensation of his lips was euphoric, whimpers leaving Alex's lips as he sucked one of her nipples into his mouth, his tongue encircling it. A sudden burst of confidence filled Glenn, Wrapping his arm around her waist he lifted her up spinning them around so he was on top a moan left Alex's lips as his tip brushed against her g-spot. 

Alex wrapped her legs around his waist as the coil deep inside her threatened to snap, her heart racing as a thin layer of sweat covered their bodies. her hand gripped his bicep, her nails leaving crescent-shaped marks on his skin. He kissed down her neck, sucking on the delicate skin there, inciting a moan from Alex when he found her sweet spot. Heavy breathing and the smell of sex consumed the room. as Glenn Gently sucked on Alex's neck, his tip pressing against her G-spot again making her hips jerk against him.

"fuck Glenn don't stop" She moaned leaning her head back as her back arched against the cold floor, he sucked on her sweet spot as he deepened his thrusts Alex's breath hitched as an almost pornographic moan left her lips. the sound rushing to Glenn's cock as he chased his orgasm.
