Liv woke up not craving brains for the first time in a long time. Since she became a zombie to be specific. Weird. Then she got up to get ready for the day, catching her reflection in the mirror Liv froze. Her skin was no longer pale, it actually had a nice glow to it, and her hair? It was no longer platinum blonde. Instead golden curls fell around her shoulders. She looked human. She felt human.

She needed to be sure. She went into her kitchen getting some spare brain out of the freezer. Liv took a bite and.. gross! How could she have ever eaten that? It didn’t matter. She didn’t care. This proved it. She was human.

Dan.

She had to go see Dan.

Liv got dressed as quickly as she could, making the drive from her place to the Double Tap. She headed upstairs to where his apartment was, knocking on the door impatiently. This was it. She was human. They could be together, finally.

The stairs leading up to the apartment units above the bar were old and they creaked and groaned even with the slightest bit of weight. The floor of the halls and in Dan’s own apartment were the same way and where the noise would drive most people crazy, it was like a built in early warning system for Dan.

The sound of the stairs creaking had Dan’s eyes open instantly. He remained in bed and listened to the sounds of creaking hurriedly making their way up the stairs. Slowly he reached for the old beat up bedside table and the gun contained in the drawer. Now armed, Dan carefully got up from his bed. He gave no thought to the fact that he was wearing only a pair of lightweight boxers. The state of dress meant nothing with danger literally on the way up the stairs.

Dan reached his apartment door before the intruder did. Gun in hand, he looked through the peephole and waited. Only a moment later did a woman appeared. The woman looked like Liv, if Liv died her hair darker and had put on makeup to conceal the dark circles around her eyes and had bring more color to her cheeks. Dan’s brows furrowed together tightly. Why on Earth would Liv do any of those things?

Confused more so than cautious, Dan clicked the safety of his gun back on and set it down on the counter out of the way and hopefully out of sight. By the time Liv was knocking on the door, he was answering it. “Liv?”

Liv hadn’t exactly been thinking when she rushed over to Dan’s place. She probably should have like texted or something first. What if he was with another woman? It was still early in the morning. But none of that had crossed her mind. All she could think about was finally being with the man she loved had strong feelings for.

So when Dan answered the door? In his boxers no less. Words escaped her. She couldn’t explain that she was human. That she was indeed Liv, the fact that she didn’t look like what he was used to didn’t even cross her mind. No, all she could think about was finally being with him. In more ways than just sex, but yeah that was obviously one of her first thoughts. Especially with Dan being practically naked.

Liv didn’t respond with words. Instead she just stepped closer to him, placing a hand on the side of his face as her lips came crashing into his. All her pent up feelings, the sexual tension that had been building for what felt like forever were poured into that kiss. Liv was finally able to go for what she wanted without worrying about the consequences. And she was definitely going for it.

Any doubt that the woman standing before him was Liv completely vanished when she kissed him. In that very moment Dan’s heart and time itself seemed to just stop. There was so much in this kiss and Dan could feel every inch of it: the passion, the want, the need. WIth her lips pressed against Dan’s everything flowed through Liv and directly into Dan

All the tension in his shoulders vanished. He exhaled deeply and gave himself over to the kiss. He did not, could not, allow himself to think. He reached for her with the intent to draw her in, embrace her, be with her.

When his fingers fell onto her shoulder, rational thought struck him right in the back of his head reminding him, painfully, that Liv was a zombie. They could not be together. They could never be together. No matter what brain she ate, no matter how much he wanted her, he couldn’t take advantage of whatever influence she may have been under.

“Mmm -- Liv,” he broke the kiss before anything went further and held her with both hands on her shoulders. “Liv, we can’t. I’m sorry…” His heart in his throat, “Oh, god, Liv. I’m sorry.”

Liv was completely wrapped up in the kiss, of what was to come. It was finally happening. All these months of longing for Dan and she was finally going to get her wish. Of course it wasn’t just about the sex. It was everything that came with it. The intimacy. Liv had waited so long she didn’t want to waste anymore time.

From the way Dan was kissing her back she could tell he wanted it too, it only led her to deepen the kiss, pushing him back further into his apartment, lost in the moment. In the feeling.

But then he stopped. Liv’s brow furrowed. Why was he stopping? His words caused her to frown. “What, do you mean?” it wasn’t until she asked the question that it dawned on her. Dan hadn’t been with her this morning. He didn’t know she woke up human. Liv had been so caught up in the moment, in her need for him that she hadn’t even thought to explain. “It’s okay,” she said softly, her hand brushing his cheek. “I’m human now.”

“Human?” Dan repeated. At first he couldn’t believe it, but her hand on his face lacked the chill he had gotten so used to. He placed his own hand over hers. “Is it really ok?” He had no idea how it was even possible for Liv to become human again, but he wasn’t going to question it. This was what he wanted. This is what they wanted. Finally, they could be together.

And that was the part that made Dan’s heart skip faster. Liv was human. She could have literally gone anywhere and done anything. Seen anyone. Told anyone. But she had come here. To him. A smile exploded across Dan’s features. Without daring to question what or how Liv had become human again, he pulled her to him and pressed his lips back to hers. He drank her in eagerly as he pulled her into his apartment, being mindful to swing the door shut behind her.

“Mmm,” Liv replied against his lips in answer to his question. A way to confirm that yes, it was really okay. But full sentences, explanations, that wasn’t going to be happening. Not that she even have an explanation. Liv had no idea how the hell she had woken up human. But she didn’t care. All she wanted was to be with Dan and she was finally getting her wish.

Lips locked on his, her hands moved to his chest, pushing him further into the apartment, letting him shut the door behind him. If he had more clothes on she would be ripping them off as they made their way back to the bed. But he was already in just his boxers, and Liv was fully dressed. That needed to be fixed, pronto. Not ready to break the kiss (Dan’s lips just felt too good on hers), she moved her hands to her jeans, unbuttoning them. She left her top to be removed later- when she needed to come up for air.

Dan made his way backwards towards the bed and pulled Liv with him. Every ounce of his attention was on her and fulfilling this aching want the two of them had had for too long now. The backs of his heels caught on a pile of books stacked in front of his dog-eared couch and sent them sprawling noisily across the floor. Dan barely registered the noise or that he stumbled a bit to avoid stepping on any of them.

He couldn’t get enough of Liv or of the way her mouth felt against his. She tasted sweet and warm. She was working on getting her jeans unfastened and Dan’s hands had quickly found their way under her shirt to caress the smoothness of her belly and sides. He wanted more and that damn shirt was in the way. He broke their kiss only long enough to help her pull it off over her head. Then their lips found each other once more just in time for them to have arrived at his bed.

Liv managed to get her jeans unzipped, stepping out of them and leaving them on the floor before falling onto the bed on top of Dan. Lips broke from his once again, leaving a trail of kisses on his neck. She had wanted this for so long, wanted him for long. It had been months of denying her feelings, the attraction, the sexual tension. Now, she was going to make sure she enjoyed every inch of his skin.

Her hands found the boxers he had been wearing since opening the door, finally removing them and tossing them aside. Then her lips were back on his, a soft moan escaping her, already anticipating what was about to come. What was finally happening.

Dan’s bed, an old antique brass bed that had come with the apartment, creaked slightly when the two would be lovers collapsed in embrace upon the mattress. Dan barely paid it any attention. Liv’s lips against the skin of his neck felt amazing. He arched his hips upward to assist her in liberating him from his boxers. As she did, nimble fingers were working on the hooks of her bra. His breaths were coming in shorter pants, fully aroused and eager for what was going to happen.

He helped her out of her bra, tossing them in the same direction his shorts had gone only a moment before. Then his hands were on her, exploring every soft curve wantingly. “I want you,” he murmured against her lips. He reached up to brush her hair from her eyes. “I have wanted you for so long.”

Almost all the clothing as gone, finally. All that remained were Liv’s panties, already damp. She pulled them down as far as she could with her hands, wriggling out of them and kicking them off. Much better.

“Too long,” Liv agreed giving him another passionate kiss. Part of her couldn’t believe this was actually happening. But it was, and she was prepared to enjoy every damn minute of it. “I need you. Now.”

Dan had needed to hear those words. He’d wanted to hear them for so long and they sounded like music. He needed her too. Badly. But he wanted to do this right. For the first time in a very, very long time, he wanted this to be more than just sex. He wanted this to be special. Not just for him, but for Liv as well.

He smiled into her kiss. “Aye, darlin’,” he murmured softly. Gently he rolled over so that Liv was laying on the bed next to him. He lavished her body with kisses, his hands exploring every inch and curve of her body. The tips of his fingers traced her lines down to her hips and up her thighs, gently spreading her legs to allow him access to warm tender flesh, already moist with anticipation.

To Liv this was already more than just sex. Yes, she had some serious needs and the sexual tension was almost too much to bare. However, Liv was never the type for meaningless sex. She had to have some sort of connection with the person. And there was a connection with Dan. A deep one.

Every touch, every kiss, sent shocks of electricity throughout her body. Another moan escaped as his fingers trailed over her hips. By the time he got to her thighs she was lifting her hips to meet him. “Take me,” Liv breathes before bringing her lips back to Dan’s, hands exploring every inch of his back. Wanting more of him. Needing more.

Her fingers along his back sent shivers over Dan’s bare skin. He’d never wanted someone more than he did in that moment. Weeks, months of holding back, of pretending the two of them were nothing more than good friends, had been building to this very moment. And in that moment Dan realized just what Liv meant to him.

His stroked her a moment more and when neither she nor he could stand it any longer, withdrew his hand and positioned himself over her. He took a moment to look down at Liv, a happy smile touching his lips, before leaning down to kiss her again. As he did, he guided himself inside her.

Don’t get her wrong. His fingers felt amazing and she was loving every second of it, perhaps a bit too much. It had been so long for her. There had been so much time wanting dan, longing for him, needing him. All things she had to deny herself. And now that she was finally with him, that what she had wanted for so long was about to happen, Liv didn’t know how much she could hold back. Just the thought that he was about to be inside her was almost enough to make her orgasm. His fingers prepping her certainly wasn’t helping matters.

Finally he entered. If his lips hadn’t been on hers she would have let out a louder moan, as it was she just moaned softly into his mouth. She lifted her hips helping him further inside. Hands moved to his ass giving it a gentle squeeze as their bodies began to move as one, in perfect rhythm.

This was what they both had wanted for so long. LIv felt so good. Better than good. She felt amazing. Dan was buried up to the hilt and he remained there a moment, not wanting to push her too far too fast and bring to an end this once-in-a-lifetime moment for the two of them. His lips left Liv’s and moved to her neck. Liv’s hands on his ass and squeezing him gave him a nudge to start moving. He moaned against her skin as he started to thrust. Slowly and deeply at first, looking to hit that spot that would make her quiver under him. She moved in rhythm to his movements. In perfect sync.

“You feel amazing,” he murmured against her neck. His lips ghosted over her skin. He braced one arm against the bed, his other hand moving over her belly and up her chest. He cupped her breast and squeezed it as she had squeezed him. Then his arm snaked under the small of her back, pulling her up and closer to him and providing the leverage for his thrusts to go deeper still as he picked up the pace.

Dan’s words echoed Liv’s thoughts. Every brush of his lips, every touch of his hands, every thrust - it all felt amazing. Beyond amazing. Liv was doing everything she could to make this moment last forever, or at least as long as she could. Everything she had left pent up for months was dying to be let out, explode all over Dan. But Liv held back, kept herself on that edge, moans of pleasure escaping her each time he delved in deeper.

His hand on her breast cause a loud moan to escape. Liv squeezed his ass once again, harder this time, before she moved her hands to the sheets. Clutching them as her legs wrapped around his. Her own way of helping him get in even deeper. “You’re amazing,” she managed to get out between moans.

Dan’s mouth had left her neck and moved to the opposite breast. He nipped and sucked a moment before adjusting his position. The more Liv moved with him, the more he wanted her. The more he wanted her, the quicker and more wanting his thrusts became. He raised himself on his knees so he could watch her under him. The way she moved, the way her mouth twisted and her back arched with each groan. He gripped her hips and steadied her enough so that he could go further still. His pace quickened.

Liv kept her hands on the bed, using them to help lift her hips to match each of Dan’s thrusts. She matched his quick pace feeling herself reaching her climax. There was no way she could hold back any longer. “Oh god, Dan,” she cried out. Her hands gripped the sheets, eyes began to roll back, as she finally let go. That sweet release she had been craving for so long finally came. And boy did it feel amazing. A series of moans and cries of pleasure escaped her, obvious that she was enjoying every damn second. “Fuck,” she breathed out as her orgasm came to an end.

Dan rode Liv’s orgasm along with her. Her muscles tightened and pulled him in. Her cries of pleasure echoed off the walls of his apartment and drowned out the creaking and groaning of the old bed. Hearing those noises of pleasures and the way she cried his name caused tension that had been slowly mounting to intensify. Dan was barely hanging on himself, his thrusts were intense and fast. His breaths were short and punctuated by quick moans carrying Liv’s name. A sharp feeling started in the base of his spine and before he could stop it, exploded in his blood. With a deep guttural groan of his own, he came inside her.

“Mmm, Liv,” he murmured softly as he lowered himself over her again to kiss her deeply as his own orgasm shuttered through him to the last.

Liv shuddered in pleasure, watching as Dan met his climax as well. Hearing him moan her name like that, feeling him cum inside her, it was something she never thought would happen. It was unlike anything she had ever experienced before. Liv was at a loss for words, reveling in what just happened. How amazing she felt, how amazing Dan was. She returned his kiss, arms wrapping around him. “Mmm,” she finally replied once the kiss broke, her breathing still labored. “That was worth the wait.”

“Aye, it was,” Dan agreed. Basking in the post-coitus glow, he couldn’t keep from smiling. He remained where he was a moment before withdrawing from inside her and shifting his position so that he was laying next to her, her arms still around him, and his arms around her, holding her close to him. There were questions their lovemaking had raised, such as where they went from here. Were they together? Were they in love? But asking those questions now risked ruining the pleasure the two of them had just had together. Ruining what they had waited so long for. All Dan wanted to do was hold her and hope that this moment would last forever.

Of course it didn’t. Time didn’t work like that. “I cannea tell ye how long I’ve wanted somethin’ like this,” Dan said softly, “with you.”

Dan’s smile was infectious. Although even without it Liv didn’t think she could stop herself from smiling either. She was here, with Dan, in his arms. The man she had loved for what felt like forever, but could never have. And yet some sort of miracle happened and here they were. Liv couldn’t remember the last time she was this happy. If she was ever this happy.

“Yeah?” Liv replied if her smile could possible get wider it would, but it was already spread clear across her face. “You know, I think I have some idea,” she teased a gleam in her eye. But then she suddenly got serious, those same eyes staring into Dan’s gorgeous green ones. “Being just friends with you has been torture.” She knew they were no longer just friends. What they were though? She had no idea. Hopefully more than just fuck buddies. Because as amazing as the sex was, Liv wanted more than that with Dan.

“It’s been torture for me, too,” Dan admitted. “I’ve been tryin’ to tell myself alla this time, since you tol’ me we couldn’t ever be together, that we’re just friends. I kept hopin’ maybe if I said it often enough, I’d start believin’ it. But I never did. How I feel ‘bout ye, is more than just a friend, Liv.” The words he wanted to say danced on the tip of his tongue, but he held them back. Telling her that he loved her would not only be admitting it to her, but himself as well. Those words scared him a little and he didn’t want to scare her either. What if she didn’t love him? What if this was just a matter of Liv wanting what she couldn’t have? What if…

Dan cursed himself. He was better than this. He was Dan fucking Smith. He made a living out of danger and his entertainment often involved some kind of thrill seeking. Hell, he’d gone all the way to Chicago and taken out his worst enemy just to keep Liv safe. If that wasn’t an admission, Dan didn’t know what was. With that realization, a bit of courage mounted. “I love you,” he said.

It was a relief when Dan admitted he thought of Liv as more than just a friend. That it had been just as difficult for him as it had been for her. Of course she had somewhat of an idea that he felt the same, but still hearing it? That was something else entirely.

Liv noticed the pause, but she didn’t think much of it. At least not until those three little words came out of his mouth. Liv’s heart swelled. Before she even knew what she was doing she was kissing him again. She couldn’t help herself. She didn’t even think to say it back, even though it was definitely how she felt. At least not until the kiss broke. “I love you too.”

“Ye do?” He could hardly believe that he’d heard her right. But he had heard her. Heard her very well. He smiled brightly at her. “I never thought I’d hear those words,” he settled next to Liv again, his arms around her once more.

Liv loved him. Dan loved her. This meant a lot of changes were in store, at least for Dan. If he wanted to be the type of man Liv could be happy with, be proud of, he was going to have to take a long hard look at his life and where he was going. He would have to decide if he would be happy simply being a bartender. Ah, but now he didn’t have to think of that. All he had to do now was lay in is bed with the woman he loved. He held her tight and kissed her forehead. Then a thought suddenly hit him. “Oy, darlin’, didja come straight ‘ere this morning? Didja even eat?” He smirked at her. “Ye gotta eat as a human, ye know. What do you say I make us breakfast? Somethin’ that doesn’t need to be slathered in hot sauce.”

“Of course I do,” Liv beamed. Although like Dan this was her first time admitting it. She had to deny it to herself. It would just be too hard otherwise. Being in love with someone she could never be with. But now she was with him, in his strong arms. There was no need to deny her feelings anymore. Finally admitting it to the both of them was like letting out a breath she didn’t know she had been holding.

Liv nodded at his first question. She hadn’t thought about food, although the idea of actually tasting food again was definitely on her mind now. But the only thing that had been on her mind this morning was Dan. There was no way she was going to stop to eat before coming to see him. But now, well she was hungry and craving anything that wasn’t spicy. What was Dan going to do with all those jalapenos in his bar? A question for another time. “Well, we did work up an appetite,” Liv replied still smiling at the man she loved. “And I could go for some actual food,” she confirmed reluctantly removing herself from his arms and climbing out of bed. Still naked. There was no need to get dressed. As soon as breakfast was over she intended to go for round two.
