10 Ch 10 First Steps

. ... . .. . . ... .. . . . . .. . .. . .. .. . . ... . . .. . .. . .... .. . . .

I walked up to the group and was met with a variety of different looks from the various people present.

Miranda, Morales's wife was clearly checking out my bulge and seemed deeply impressed by my size.

Ed was glad that Rick and I weren't minorities but he'd heard something about me being a foreigner which was the reason he eyed me with suspicion.

Jim the mechanic was a bit uneasy with me, he had been eyeing Andrea for himself after his family had been killed during the outbreak but now I'd gone and scooped her up.

Shane eyed my armor and rifle with heightened interest, it wasn't every day he saw someone so well armed.

Shane was glad he now had someone so equipped in camp but still his macho side didn't want to be outshined or possibly replaced from his position as a quasi-leader to some.

There were a few others who I didn't recognize but there was something in common with all their gazes.

To most of the guys I was a threat for now and that was easily apparent.

"That's a hell of a Nice rifle Son, military issue but it's attachments aren't, where'd you get it?" Shane asked after walking up to me and patting my shoulder.

I could immediately sense the tension in the air between us, he seemed to be testing me.

"This rifle is just Small recompense from Uncle Sam for my troubles and heartache from this damned plague I'm surprised nobody else picked one up since they were free for the taking recently, you must be Shane?"

I spoke while extending my hand and waiting for his response, he didn't seem disappointed from what he had seen so far since I looked him in the eyes and didn't waver like he thought I might.

Shane shook my hand immediately and gripped my hand tightly enough that most others would have likely winced it pulled back.

But to me his grip was just above average, after squeezing back even harder than him he nodded his head with a cheeky smile and let go of my hand.

"Seems everything Glenn and Jaqui spoke about are true, don't forget that you're still young so try respect and learn from your elders....we work together here in camp and all are expected to contribute so keep that in mind." Shane spoke while constantly taking glances over to Rick and Lori who were hugging tightly behind me.

Shane didn't mean to do it but seeing the woman he'd secretly loved and recently taken into his bed being hugged and kissed by another man made his blood boil even though he knew it was wrong to lust after another man's wife.

I didn't take Shane's words too seriously since he'd be a dead man before too long, I walked away from Shane and towards the others who were spread around nearby the radio.

the first person whom I greeted walked up to me, he was an old man with an ugly hat and a bolt action rifle and binoculars around his neck... Dale.

"Hi there new guy I'm Dale Horvath, Glenn already spoke good of you, it's great to have you on the team." Dale spoke with a friendly smile.

"Nice to meet you Dale, I'm Vertum and I'm glad to be here with all of you." I spoke amiably.

then he raised an eyebrow and half whispered something to himself while eyed my me up and down, eventually he went out and asked what was on his mind.

"Hey Vertum, Glenn has been telling the story of how you've killed hundreds of those 'things' by yourself and have started dating Andrea, is any of that true?..." Dale asked a bit sheepishly since he was secretly interested in Andrea and he wanted to see if he was really as outmatched as he thought.

"Andrea and I are together, I've put down quite a few of those things but honestly I couldn't tell you how many." I spoke and he sighed in defeat before walking away, he knew Andrea was out of his reach now.

I walked to the others and found that they had started a large fire, Jacqui and Carol were cutting up potatoes presumably for tonight's dinner.

Rick was with his wife nearby and T-Dog was busy having his face sounds cleaned by Glenn.

"There he is! Man of the hour!" Rick spoke out loud while waving for me to go to him.

I saw Carl snuggled into his right side and Lori on his left.

Immediately my eyes were drawn to Lori for a moment as my eyes undressed her lewdly.

Lori had long seductive legs and a busty chest that still seemed firm and supple.

she also had a perfect mouth, Lori's soft pink lips could only be more perfect if they were wrapped around my shaft and swallowing my seed.

She seemed to notice my hungry gaze but her son Carl came in to the rescue by distracting my attention as he called out to me.

"Big Brother Vertum is it true you saved my Daddy!!! Is it true you killed like a hundred monsters!!!!"

Carl spoke out excitedly upon looking at my plate carrier and weapons, I didn't mind talking to him though since he wasn't a threat to me.

"Nice to meet you young man, you must be Carl your dad has told me so much about you..."

I spoke and gave him a high five.

I chatted with the young boy for a few moments before I reached back into my backpack, before I took out what I had reached for I turned to Lori who was looking at me with curious eyes.

"Is he allowed to have C-A-N-D-Y right now?" I asked Lori while abbreviating so the boy wouldn't know what we were talking about just in case she said no.

"If you have any go ahead, he hasn't had any in a week." Lori spoke while gazing into my eyes, I noticed a shiver run down her spine when our eyes met.

I was doing my best to act docile but somehow Lori knew I was like a wolf salivating before a lamb, it was almost as if she felt the vile desires I wanted to carry out with her Milf body.

Lori had felt a lustful gaze from tens of thousands over her lifetime but this time it was different....she could feel herself being violated from just my gaze which greatly unnerved her.

But nobody else seemed to notice anything out of the ordinary and all the other survivors seemed comfortable with me so she let it go as just her mind playing tricks on her.

She should have listened to her instincts because Little did she know I was already planning on how to have my way with her soon.

I redirected my attention to the others and sat down near Rick.

"Vertum should we clean wounds with peroxide or not?" Glenn asked from nearby since he was arguing with Ed about whether to use hydrogen peroxide on T-Dog's wounds.

"If that's all you have but soap and water has always been the best wound cleaner in my opinion.... hydrogen peroxide destroys the bacterial cell sure but it also destroys the healthy flesh as well which slows down healing." I spoke and immediately Glenn smirked at Ed who huffed and conceded.

I stayed chatting for a while and After ten minutes Andrea walked out of the RV where she was chatting with Amy.

She saw me looking over at her as she walked over.

"Where's your sister?" I asked as she sat beside me and leaned into my arm.

"Amy is not feeling well, but tomorrow morning she is open to going fishing with you...a date of sorts." Andrea spoke while cuddling against me.

"I never in my life thought I'd get my woman to help me on a date....with her own sister." I whispered in Andreas ear, she just smiled mischievously.

"Then it's your lucky day big boy~" Andrea spoke seductively and sucked on my neck for a few moments before Lori scolded her lightly since there were children around.

After fifteen minutes I felt like stretching my legs a bit and had the perfect excuse.

"Hey Love, I have something to do while there's still light but I'll be back soon." I spoke into Andrea's ear then turned to Rick who was talking with his Son.

"Rick I'm going to get our supply stash, do you want to come with?" I asked him while standing up.

"ummm Yeah sure, just give me a few minutes to say goodbye to these two." He spoke and hugged his son tightly for a while.

Lori who was nearby looked at me strangely then spoke to her husband.

"Babe, don't go....I just got you back and I'm afraid to lose you..." Lori spoke with a bit of anguish in her voice at the thought of Rick going out to the dangerous world just after reuniting with him.

But Rick was quick to calm her down with his words.

"Oh don't be so worried since I'll be fine, Glenn wasn't lying when he told us how capable Vertum is so you have little to worry about since we'll be back soon." He spoke while hugging Lori but she still didn't want to let up.

I saw her indecision clear as day so I had to do something.

"Lori You're welcome to come with us and you can bring your boy as well, we'll only be on the open road for a bit more than half an hour before reaching our supplies." I spoke and I saw her thinking for a little while.

Lori was about to reject but Andrea came to the rescue after seeing what I was trying to do, only Andrea was ted to help me get into her pants as well so she offered to take an obstacle out of the way.

"Hey Lori, I can take care of your boy while you're out with Vertum and your husband, it's been too long since you've left the camp anyways so go get some fresh air on the open road for a bit." Andrea spoke convincingly and took Carl away from her deftly.

Lori was about to argue but Andrea was simply too good at convincing and before long Lori lost all resistance.

"Fine... Fine we can go if it's really that important." Lori spoke after giving up and Rick smiled and hugged his wife tightly.

"Rick give me a moment before meeting me at the box truck." I spoke and he nodded before walking off with his slut wife.

I looked at Lori's long legs as they walked away and could already imagine her desperate moans when I bend her over soon enough.

Andrea who stood beside me saw the desire that boiled up in my veins while looking at a married woman and it made her want me even more for some strange reason.

Go chat with Amy, I'll be waiting here alright big boy~" Andrea spoke and we kissed deeply before she walked off with Carl to where Miranda and her Children were seated.

She sat next to Morales's wife Miranda and before long the children were running around and playing tag while the two women gossiped amongst themselves.

"You chose to get with him? I thought you'd go for somebody a bit older Amiga." Miranda whispered to Andrea after taking a sneaky glance at me as I walked off towards the RV to talk with Amy.

"It's not about age, look at how big and strong he is..... Plus He's more than capable enough to take care of me in the damn apocalypse, unlike most men out there...and he's so tender and loving to me~ I couldn't wish for a better man in a million years." Andrea spoke with stars in her eyes and Miranda just scoffed.

"Stop lying to me Blondie, I saw that bulge in his khaki pants....I know EXACTLY why you chose to hook up with someone young enough to be your son hahahah." Miranda giggled as Andrea playfully pinched her in an attempt to keep her voice down.

"Shut up Miranda hahaha." Andrea laughed out loud then leaned over to whisper in Miranda's ear after they both calmed down.

"I can hear the jealousy in your voice my little Latina friend, if you don't keep it down I'll get Vertum to fuck you into a coma as punishment~" Andrea whispered to Miranda as they both blushed deeply.

Miranda looked into Andreas eyes with a Mischievous smirk.

"Are you threatening me with something that sounds so good~ I bet you're just lying, your new man probably couldn't even handle a woman like me." Miranda spoke with a Scoff but her thighs slowly rubbing against each other were not easily missed by Andrea.

My blonde Milf have out a seductive smirk upon seeing the cock hungry aura which clearly leaked out of Miranda.

Andrea knew she just found another candidate to help milk my massive cock on occasion even if she was married already.....not like Morales had been taking care of Miranda's carnal needs after the apocalypse after all.

Something else which added into the reasoning for Andrea was that the idea of me railing a married woman turned her on so much.

As all of this was happening, I had just reached the aging Winnebago RV, I spotted a handful of fishing rods set out nearby along with a few other assorted things.

There was a folding chair on the roof of the RV along with an umbrella for when Dale or someone else sat on watch.

The door was already open so I called out as I stepped inside while calling out.

"Hello...Amy?"

I called out after standing in the dining area at the front of the RV, immediately I heard a muffled response from the back of the mobile home.

I looked over and spotted a closed door which led to one of the bedrooms it had a small square sign nailed to it's front.

The 'Amy+Andrea' sign which hung on the door was enough to know that was their room.

"V..Vertum is that you?!?!...G...Give me a moment I'll be right out!." Amy spoke from the other room with surprise in her voice.

then I started to hear clattering and things being tossed around as Amy got ready.

*Clatter

*Clatter

*Shuffle

*Shuffle

I heard noises of Amy prettying herself up and eventually after ten long minutes the door's lock clicked and was meekly pulled open by Amy.

I looked over at the door and had to wait a few seemingly eternal moments before she finally stepped out.

Amy was wearing a cute flower print dress that went down to her knees but her thick soft thighs and milky white calves were enough for me to be immediately turned on.

she also had black flats on her feet that matched her cute dress perfectly, and she wore seashell jewelry around her slender white neck and dainty wrist.

Her beautiful and delicate face was also prettied up although she honestly didn't need it.

She used a small amount of black eyeliner and wore cherry red lipstick which was stained a bit on the corner of her lip on accident.

Amy had rushed while putting on her makeup and had messed up her lipstick but instead of making her look bad it added a certain charm which I found irresistible.

She saw that I was looking at her with great interest

Amy blushed deeply in embarrassment but felt happy that I was admiring her looks after putting in the effort to look good for me.

She knew that our date tomorrow would be fishing so she wouldn't get to dress like this, when she heard me call out she thought it was a perfect time to show off what she looked like when she put in some effort into her looks.

Amy was a bit nervous that I wouldn't like the way she looked after getting ready since she'd never dressed to impress a man but it seemed now there was nothing to worry about in that department after seeing my response.

"Sorry for taking so long Vertum..." Amy spoke shyly while moving her gold blonde hair behind her cute little ear.

"if you ask me I think the wait was worth every second if it means I get to see you like this." I told her while we moved to the dining table and sat down.

The tender blush on her face slowly but surely began to spread down her neck and towards her soft beautiful chest as she tried in vain to deal with her strange emotions from hearing my compliment.

"T..The...Thank you..." She meweled out while twirling her silky hair.

"But I didn't come by to say how much I like the way you look, I actually came by to ask if you needed anything from the outside right now, Rick and I are going out for a few hours and it's the perfect time for me to pick up whatever you might need." I told her and she nodded while smiling cutely.

In Amy's mind, I had just met her and was already actively trying to take care of her.

for a defenseless young woman in an apocalypse having a partner like me was a dream come true.

immediately Amy began to feel even more butterflies in her stomach when she thought of us being together and Andreas words that she 'already belonged to me'.

It took a few long moments before Amy nodded and spoke.

"If you could get me some conditioner...and body cream please....And good soap too, all we have is the yellow bars and they don't smell very good." Amy spoke after thinking about it for a while.

before the apocalypse happened Amy didn't care very much but now she wanted to smell as delectable as possible for me.

"Sounds good I remember a CVS near our stash and I think I'll be able to find what you need, do you have a scent you prefer?" I asked my blushing little blonde as she kept taking shy glances at me.

She thought about it for a few moments before turning to me.

"I'll use any scent if you think it'll smell good on me...?!?! B...Be..Because if you like it I'm sure I will too of course not because I want to smell good for y...you or anything...."

Amy spoke while lost in thought before she quickly caught herself and saved herself from too much embarrassment even if her cheeks were cherry red.

I just smirked while listening to her babble cutely as she revealed her true thoughts before she stopped talking and saw the look I was giving her, Amy huffed cutely in anger and stood up.

"Don't laugh at me you meanie..." She spoke with a trembling lip and immediately I saw my mistake.

I didn't want her to think I was mocking her or anything so I stood and brought her into a warm and gentle hug before she had a chance to walk away from me.

She froze out of panic when my arms wrapped around her.

Amy had thought we were about to argue since I had laughed at her, but instead she felt a warm and loving embrace which she secretly longed for.

"I'm sorry for laughing at you Amy, you're just to cute when you're flustered like that and I couldn't help myself." I spoke while squeezing her soft body gently.

She didn't respond with words but her body eventually stopped being so tense and before long she was wrapping her arms around me and hugging me back with her face buried into my chest.

We stayed embraced for a few long moments before she shyly glanced up at me for a moment then stood high on her toes and landed a tender kiss onto my cheek.

*Kiss

I felt her soft warm lips on my cheek and couldn't help but want to taste her mouth even for a moment.

Just as I was about to grab her cheek and start kissing her on the lips, Amy pulled away and ran off into her room with a completely blushed face.

She had just taken a big leap in kissing my cheek like that, and her due to her shyness the embarrassment was just too much for her to handle.

*Click

As soon as she was in her room door closed and the lock clicked, with my sensitive hearing I could sense that her heart was beating hard and her breathing was a bit laboured as she calmed herself down just beyond my line of sight.

I had already gotten a small kiss from my cute blonde so it was time I made my way out.

"I'll be back soon Amy, make sure you stay safe until I've returned." I spoke out loud towards her bedroom door then made my way out of the RV without waiting for a response.

As I walked towards the box truck I noticed Carol was busy cooking a stew in a big pot next to the campfire, her daughter Sofia sat quietly nearby and so did her husband Ed.

Carol could definitely get it but right now I want very interested in her, she was just too old and too damaged emotionally for me to put in any time or effort although I wouldn't reject her if she asked to get a taste.

Ed noticed my glance at his wife but he didn't do anything , just the M16 alone was enough for Ed to be cautious and although he was an asshole, he was smart enough to know when to stay quiet.

Before long I'd reached the box truck where Rick and Lori waited, Lori had a baseball bat and knife attached to her belt.

Rick had wanted to have her better equipped But guns were rare and ammo was even more scarce here in camp so those Melee weapons would have to be enough.

"I'm sorry for the long wait, I was talking with Amy and it took a bit longer than expected." I spoke as Rick tossed me the jingling keys.

"It's fine, but are you really going to chase after your new girlfriend's sister?" Rick asked in genuine curiosity.

"Why the hell not? Plus if our resident cop doesn't arrest me then I guess polygamy is perfectly legal now right?" I asked jokingly with a raised eyebrow.

"The only reason I haven't arrested a sick criminal like you yet is that my jurisdiction doesn't extend to Atlanta and the surrounding Area so count yourself lucky sinner." Rick spoke with a smirk.

"Then I count my lucky stars that I've just left King county and won't be going back." I spoke with a smile and turned the key.

As I turned the large box truck on, Rick opened the passenger door for his Wife and helped her inside.

There was only a bench seat so she slid inside and sat right next to me before Rick hopped on, I could sense her slight unease at sitting beside an unknown man but there was nothing she could do right now.

After a few cranks of the ignition the massive big block engine on our box truck was on and rumbling surprisingly quietly as we drove down the dirt road out of camp and towards the highway.

"So Rick, tell me how such a brute ended up with such a good and faithful wife?" I asked Rick who was seated across Lori from me.

I saw Lori wince when I called her 'faithful' during my question but Rick was looking out the window and didn't notice anything amiss.

"Well, we actually met in high school, she was always the girl every guy wanted to be with including Shane who later became my partner on the force.... But I was the one brave enough to ask her out...I couldn't be luckier to have won her heart."

Rick spoke with a smile and leaned over to kiss Lori on her cheek.

She looked a bit uncomfortable but knew how to act her way through the situation.

"And I couldn't be luckier to have accepted, I'm so glad you're back Honey." Lori spoke and hugged Rick tightly while tears ran down her face from her secret emotions.

She was filled with an immense soul crushing guilt over what she had done with Shane now that Rick was back.

Adding to that problem, her feelings which had developed for Shane would not vanish from one moment to the next so she had to deal with the pain of losing a different love as well now that Rick was here and she had to push Shane away.

"Don't cry my love, I'm back now and won't be leaving you again." Rick spoke while holding his dear wife closely while completely oblivious to her infidelity or true thoughts.

Eventually we moved away from such saddening subjects and started chatting more normally, Lori began asking questions about me to try and get an understanding of who her husband's new friend was.

"So Vertum why did you come to the USA? And do you have any family or friends here maybe a girlfriend from before the outbreak?" Lori asked curiously.

"I'm here as an exchange student due to my scores and proficiency with English, I've been single until now due to my focus on other things, my family Is back in Serbia and still alive hopefully..... although if this plague is in my country Im certain that they're likely fine."

I spoke just as we turned onto the highway.

"And why is that?" Lori asked curiously.

"Serbians love their guns as much as Americans and few of us disarmed after the war." I spoke and immediately Rick understood where my knack for firearms started, he also saw the distinct look my eyes when I thought of home.

"So that's why you are so damn skilled with that rifle, are you making plans to go back?" He asked after seeing the longing look in my eyes.

"Probably one day although to find a pilot who can fly analog all the way to Serbia and a working plane would be a bit tough at the moment.....I'd hate to be like Columbus and sail the Atlantic as well since I dislike the ocean.... although I do miss my Ak 47." I spoke and brought out a smile from Rick.

"No wonder you didn't have a girlfriend until the damn apocalypse happened, too focused on your rifles than with the girls at home haha." Rick chuckled.

"Oh you should have seen her, milled receiver and forged trunion, the wood is stained with a dark red varnish...." I spoke on and on until Rick finally yelled at me to shut up after getting annoyed but Lori seemed to find it entertaining.

We continued chatting amiably until we reached the stretch if road where I had left out stuff.

There was a small hidden trail which led off the main road and into the dense forest but before I pulled into the side road, I noticed something was off about the situation.

I brought the RV to a complete stop before turning off the engine.

"Why are you stopping?" Rick asked curiously.

"Someone has been here after us....do you see those tracks there." I spoke and pointed at some tire marks on the soft earth down side road we needed to go down.

Rick looked at them for a few long moments but couldnt notice anything off about them, they just looked like tire tracks.

"How can you tell?" He asked while looking at the marks but still not coming to a conclusion.

"Because that old farm truck we were driving had Goodyear Wrangler tread....that is Toyo tread over out own so I'll go clear it first." I spoke while changing my M16 back to 5.56

I moved the Cmmg 22lr conversion bolt into my pouch and inserting my standard bolt and mag of 5.56 green tips.

Rick saw what I was doing and knew I was dead serious about this although he didn't fully believe me.

"What are you doing that for?" Lori asked while watching me rack a round into the chamber.

"Rick stay here with Lori while I go check everything out, if you hear gunfire don't approach." I spoke and threw the door open.

"Vertum there's probably nobody there, and even if there is you won't need that rifle." Rick spoke while trying to convince me.

"Alright then, come with me if you don't think I'll need my rifle perhaps if there's someone there you can try your method." I spoke and he sighed before unbuckling his seatbelt.

"Are we really going?" Lori asked but Rick just unbuckled her seatbelt and helped her dismount.

Rick had the shotgun slung over his shoulder an his revolver around his waist as we both walked deeper into the forested area.

Getting to our stash wouldn't take too long but there was quite an amount of thick vegetation between the road and the place where our supplies were.

Within thirty paces my sensitive ears picked up the very faint sounds of a few people chatting amongst themselves happily in the distance but Rick and Lori couldn't hear was well.

"Rick I hear people ahead, I recommend you turn back with Lori now." I spoke quietly.

"Really....even if there are people surely there won't be an issue though right?" Rick asked at a whisper but Lori tugged on his arm.

"Let's go back to the truck, we don't even need those supplies...." She pleaded and before long Rick agreed.

"Fine, fine, we'll return but what if something happens to you Vertum?" He asked with a bit of worry in his voice.

He and I had been through quite a bit together and Rick didn't want anything bad happening to me.

"If there are gunshots don't approach, I'll come get you when it's okay to move forward." I spoke.

"If you do need to shoot...will there be an Issue with it being a real living person?" He asked since he didn't want me to freeze last minute in case something did actually happen am I needed to defend myself.

"No, there won't be." Was all I said and Rick saw that I was deathly serious.

He nodded before turning back to the box truck, as he walked away with Lori I heard him speak back to me.

"Don't die kid, and don't do anything you'll regret." He spoke back and continued along.

*Crunch

*Crunch

*Crunch

*Crunch

Both of their footsteps were loud and clear as they slowly walked back to the truck.

that was part of the reason I sent them back since they moved far too loudly for my tastes.

the other part was that I wanted to torment whomever was out there, and having both Rick and Lori watch while I enjoy myself would not be good for my reputation right now.

Once they were far out of earshot I set down my backpack on a tall branch so I could move efficiently.

Then I ensured my magazines were all completely loaded and ready before treading off into the thick woods while making almost no noise.

(What will happen to whoever is near the stash🤔)

(This is 5k+ words I was going to keep writing the next few sequences but honestly that would be excessive sorry for the abrupt stop.)
