That night.
After Shawn finished an entire plate of black bear meat and half a slightly gamey black bear paw, he felt a warmth in his lower abdomen.
When he returned to the third floor of the Administrative Building, Beth was already sitting quietly and obediently on the office sofa.
Shawn pushed the door open, Beth looked up when she heard the sound, and their eyes met.
It became stickier and stickier... even more so... as if they were about to melt into each other on the spot.
Beth quietly walked over and embraced Shawn, trying to inhale his scent.
"Rick said you're leaving the Prison temporarily."
Beth didn't look up, she just pressed her ear against Shawn's chest, listening to the rhythm of his heart.
"I'll be back soon, the outside can't keep me."
Shawn ran his fingers through her golden hair, gently unbuttoning downwards, and then further down.
Beth's cheeks flushed with Shawn's accelerating heartbeat.
Her cheek, which had been pressed against his chest, now turned slightly, her forehead resting on Shawn's chest, her mouth exhaling hot breaths, letting Shawn do as he pleased.
Bang, bang--
But just as Shawn intended to go further, a gentle knock on the door interrupted their rhythm.
Beth looked up at Shawn, and the helplessness in his eyes was impossible to hide.
Beth couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, pushing Shawn, urging him, "Go quickly."
But when Shawn opened the door and looked outside, he found nothing.
"Who's playing a prank?" Shawn was a little angry, and the faces of a few children from the Camp immediately came to mind.
"Cough, cough, over here."
A voice suddenly came from below, Shawn looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Lori standing there somewhat uneasily.
"What's wrong, don't you have a place to stay?"
Shawn frowned, his tone not very good.
"No... no, Rick has arranged everything, Carol and Lori are also very good, they have arranged everything else for us..."
"Then what else do you want?"
Shawn asked, puzzled... If she had something to say, she should say it early, he and Beth still had things to do later... Lori raised her head and gritted her teeth.
"I wanted to ask, do those things you said before still count? Can we join the Prison?"
Hearing this, Shawn suddenly realized that Lori had wavered.
Living in the Prison cells and living outside were completely different experiences, and Lori should have realized this by now.
And the scene where Shawn publicly carried back the black bear must have also had a great impact on Lori.
Of course, more importantly, Shawn actually killed the Governor, and even personally cut off his head, which was known to everyone in the Camp.
With all of this combined, Shawn would find it strange if Lori wasn't tempted.
"So you want to join the Prison?"
All his previous anger vanished, Shawn leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed, smiling at Lori.
Lori bit her lip, nodding somewhat hesitantly.
Her heart was itching, but she had never said it out loud.
But when she witnessed the real Prison today, the people who had been following her could finally no longer hold back, constantly nagging Lori about joining.
Sure enough, Lori came at their urging.
Originally, those people also wanted to come together to show their sincerity.
However, Rick and others stopped the others for'safety' reasons, only allowing Lori to come up to the third floor.
Of course, these people posed no threat to Shawn, but Rick was worried that if they couldn't agree, Shawn would kill them all.
This impression was due to the Blood Moon.
From Shawn's own perspective, experiencing the Blood Moon was normal, and he could even get 'limited-time quadruple experience'.
But in the eyes of others, this was not normal.
They almost watched Shawn kill until his eyes were red... literally red.
He wouldn't stay in the good Prison, insisting on going outside to kill Walkers in close combat.
To Rick, there was only one explanation – Shawn's killing intent was growing stronger.
Therefore, normally, Rick would try to prevent others from angering Shawn, and Shawn's image in Rick's mind became increasingly awe-inspiring without anger.
Of course, those who rushed forward to seek death, Rick couldn't stop them, such as the Governor.
"We want to join the Prison!"
After a brief internal struggle, Lori suddenly raised her head and said to Shawn with firm eyes.
Her tone was serious, one would think she was taking an oath.
Shawn nodded upon hearing this, which was actually within his expectations, it was only a matter of time, so he wasn't too surprised.
"Starting tomorrow, go find Rick, he will arrange a position and work for you."
"Actually, I'm very easy to talk to, as long as you work hard, I won't treat you unfairly."
"You must have felt that today."
Then, without waiting for Lori to speak further, Shawn quickly pushed her shoulders, turned her around, and ushered her out the door.
"Alright, alright, we haven't known each other for the first day, don't be so serious."
"Have you eaten? If not, go eat more. Don't come looking for me if there's nothing important."
Bang--!
After speaking, Shawn slammed the third-floor door shut.
Licking his lips, Shawn turned and went back into the office.
But this time, it was Beth who actively avoided Shawn's hand.
Under Shawn's puzzled gaze, she picked one or two items from the colorful assortment.
Then, with seductive eyes, she slowly walked into the Deputy Warden's office next door.
Under Shawn's gaze, she put on one item after another... and then another... After she was dressed, she looked up at Shawn.
But Shawn knew that the mirrors in these two offices were one-way mirrors that did not connect.
He could see into the next room from his side, but from the next room, one could not see into his.
"Hiss--"
"This contrast... I love it."
Knowing Beth's thoughts, Shawn was already a little aroused, and he eagerly walked into the Deputy Warden's office... There were no coral fleece sheets here, but there was an office desk, chairs, a sofa, a windowsill, a bookshelf... In short, this night, Beth was unusually more wild than Shawn.
Perhaps it was the reluctance of impending departure that caused Beth to continuously and greedily accept all of Shawn's gifts.
She only fell into a contented sleep at dawn, smelling Shawn's scent.
Gently raising his hand and stroking her forehead, Shawn looked at her face, and suddenly realized.
He also had a girlfriend, he also had someone he needed to be responsible for and take care of.
This feeling was like suddenly growing up overnight, and only now did Shawn belatedly realize and truly comprehend it.
"It's time to go."
Shawn silently put on his stalker suit, carefully closed the third-floor door, and only after confirming that he hadn't woken Beth did he breathe a sigh of relief and turn to go downstairs.
