2nd Place Best Collab for 2018 Moonshine Awards
Daryl Dixon is navigating what it means to be a man, and maybe for him, being a man means he enjoys getting pegged by the love of his life.
“He sleeps better than he ever has before. He eats three meals a day. He helps Hershel work on the farm during the summers, and he remembers anniversaries and birthdays. He remembers the things she always puts on the grocery list. He’s got a steady job, an apartment, and he lets his girlfriend fuck him. Hell, he actually really enjoys it.”
Their age difference is a minor thing, for the most part. But it does bring about an interesting conversation and an eventual demonstration that has Daryl questioning everything.
