“Rick, wait, I…” Ally scooted away until her back hit the headboard. “I’m a…well, I’ve never done this before.”

What. The. Fuck.

“You’re a virgin?”

She lifted her gaze to the ceiling and sighed. “I lived in the middle of nowhere with my grandparents for years, then in the Raider camp my brother made sure I wasn’t alone with any of the men. Not that any of them appealed to me, but he wanted me to be a virgin when he gave me to his creepy friend.”

Every time Ally mentioned her brother, she shuddered and a haunted look entered her eyes. If Rick ever had the pleasure of meeting this Brent fellow, he would fuck him up beyond recognition and leave him bleeding and broken in the forest for the animals to feast on. The dickhead was lucky any of his family had survived the war, but it didn’t sound like he’d shown Ally an ounce of kindness or love. What Rick wouldn’t give to have one family member, even a fucking acquaintance from Briarwood, to be alive and well.

“Take your boots off and get under the covers, Ally. I won’t hurt you, I promise. I won’t force myself on you.”

She bit her bottom lip and stared at him for several long moments, as if trying to judge whether or not he was telling the truth. But, finally, she untied the laces on her boots, slipped them off, and let them fall to the floor with a soft thud. Keeping her clothing on, she crawled under the covers and pulled them up to her neck. She peered at him with wide eyes.

Rick took his own boots off, as well as his sweater, but left his undershirt and pants on. He joined her under the covers, letting his legs brush against hers. God, he wanted to feel her bare skin against his, but he wouldn’t earn her trust if he ordered her to get naked before she was ready. Perhaps he’d been too forceful in the church when he’d announced they would consummate their marriage right away. If she needed more time, he would give it to her. Even if he ended up with the worst case of blue balls in the history of mankind.

In the back of his mind, the possibility of their meeting being more than coincidence resonated deep and loud. Maybe a higher being had joined them together. Rick wasn’t overly religious, but he did believe in God and had witnessed more than one miracle in his lifetime. Perhaps God had led them together. He kept this thought to himself though.

“Will you let me hold you, Ally?”

“Hold me?”

“Yes.” He brushed her hair behind her ears and pressed a kiss to her forehead, prompting her to give a tiny gasp. “Just let me hold you, hug you.”

“Okay,” she whispered, tears gleaming in her eyes. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had a hug.”

After he lifted her up against his chest, wound an arm around her, and brought his other arm overtop her beneath the covers, she started sniffling.
