Chapter 22: An Intimate StrangerThe Quinn Residence, Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Tossing and turning amid almost feverish dreams, Layla Quinn found herself unable to get proper rest following her hour-long cold shower as thoughts of the handsome older biker came flooding back despite her attempts to suppress her apparent attraction to him. The kiss replayed for the umpteenth time and she found herself longing for what might have been in the wake of it all coming to an end and his leaving town soon afterward. The revving of engines filled her ears as she was once more back at the diner with an apron on her waist and standing behind the counter awaiting someone to place an order. He came from the shadows, his pristine biker cut draped over his broad shoulders and his heavily muscled arms indicated that he'd been quite strong as he approached her. His grey eyes locked on hers as if she'd been the only one in the room. "W-What can I get you?" she asked rather nervously
Chapter 23: A Favorable WindThe Quinn Residence, Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Jarrett A. Quinn was a vastly peculiar man, and even the residents of Temperance, South Dakota thought him an oddity. His nature was that of a vulgar man with a heated temperament and low beady blue eyes that seemed to stare right through the soul of anyone full enough to look him straight in the eye but never reflected what was inside him when one hoped to look for a soul behind them. He spent the better part of any day he wasn't working, drunk off his arse and sitting in his lazy boy armchair with his trusty rottweiler dog Brutus beside him. Layla had not known much about her mother, but her father had similar dark brown hair and blue eyes that indicated she shared at least that in terms of his features. He moved about the kitchen wearing a sweaty and stained white men's tank top, collectively referred to as a "wife-beater" which was appropriate for the early half of his marriage given his
Chapter 24: Being An Asshole Hides TruthsThe Kandid Bar, Kanid, Iowa... By the time Brick made it back to the abandoned shack, the lovely lass whom he'd been keeping company with had been long gone. His attire remained untouched since he discarded them in a bid to have his way with the young woman he had picked up in the bar who had been of barely legal age, without being restricted, and least of all messed up his vest. He liked the idea of free ranged rutting as much as the next man, but he wasn't much for relationships. Brick had always made it known to any he'd been around that he thoroughly enjoyed his freedom. After getting dressed, Brick made it a point to take a leak on the side of the shack, something in the way of marking his territory as he had still been plagued by the wolfish habits that were brought on by his time spent in beast form. The sounds of the back woods were something of a comfort to him, as he often recalled spending a good deal of his youth hunting, f
Chapter 25: About Cats And BagsThe Shrouder Residence, The Histmare Gardens, Temperance, South Dakota... Derrick Shrouder's place had always been one of the more fancy hangouts for their little group. His parents were quite wealthy and always seemed to have some stash of food or drinks no matter the time of year. Layla found it comforting to be at Derricks, especially with her father being home. He greeted her almost immediately the moment she knocked on the front door. Amy arrived right after and climbed the stairs to enter their best friend's apartment. Casey had been on the way, so she claimed and it was looking to be a pretty decent day after all. The trio had been pleased to have Casey back among them even when it was on a day they all were held up at Derrick's place for a project. "So what did I miss?" asked Casey wondering how her friends had gotten on without her the past few days, due to cheer practice and other outside activities that her mother made her endure. "Well
Chapter 26: The Unrelenting Fury Of ImpatienceOutside, The Kandid Bar, Kanid, Iowa... The clanking of empty aluminum beer cans stripped bare from the slow peeling of the labelsresounded as more and more made it to the makeshift pile at the foot of a bored and visibly annoyed Brick Kenneally's steel folding chair. The seemingly disgruntled werewolffelt the inevitable boiling of his blood the longer he awaited news from Ken and his Badger M.C. crew about his current target and the lack thereof. The brash and brutish man wanted nothing more than to hunt the "cowardly weasel" down and teach him a thing or two about how to treat a lady good and proper, but he had at least attempted to allow Ken Marshal and his crew to sniff out the rodent in men'
Chapter 27: Big Plans For ExplorationThe Shrouder Residence, The Histmare Gardens, Temperance, South Dakota... Feeling the effects of what one could only describe as having been a junk food coma, Layla, Amy, Casey, and Derrick were lounging about Derrick's living room amid a mess of open boxes of snacks, empty soda cans, half-drunk juice bottles, and crumbs galore. It was a good thing that Derrick's parents were out for the remainder of the night or there would be dire consequences for making a mess of their living room. It had been something of a good night for the lot of them aside from the grilling session about Layla kissing the older biker Brick Kenneally before his abrupt departure on the business of Sheriff Tillman. The group had originally come to Derrick's place to work on their mutual class project as it was difficult getting everyone to schedule a time to work on it and even worse was the lack of mutual space for the work to take place. Following a particularly gruelin
Chapter 28: One Hell Of A SkirmishThe Outskirts, The Coyote M. C. Hangout, Canyon Creek, Iowa... Growls rumbled through the air as much as the roaring of the various motorcycle engines that had come to a certain area before being shut down as gunshots could be heard ringing out all along the patch of dirt the rival M. C. called their own. At first glance, Brick's keen grey eyes took notice of the damage done via the shootings and the struggle that ensued once The Badger M.C. happened upon the "Zygote" territory. Dirt and dust filled the air making it much more difficult to see one's hand in front of their face, but the Howler M.C. had multiple advantages in comparison to The Badgers M.C. and The Canyon Creek Coyote M.C. Brick gave the order to leave the bikes behind and Goldie along with them, despite her pouting about missing out on all the action. It was better to be safe than sorry and she wasn't going to come to harm on Brick's watch. There was no telling what kind of punch
Chapter 29: The Evil Ways Of MenThe Bathroom, Unknown Location, Unknown State.....(2001)... Low eyes of the dullest blue stared back amid the steam and water droplets that fogged the mirror as the face of a hardened man stood staring back at the figure in the mirror. The man had medium-length blonde hair, courtesy of the several empty bottles of peroxide that were lined inside the small basin of the porcelain white-colored sink. The man looked to have taken quite a few years off due to shaving his beard and leaving behind a peroxide-dyed mustache, as he appeared closer to twenty than in his mid to late thirties. He was naked aside from the large formerly white drying towel that was wrapped around his rather thin waist as he stood amid the coolness of the bathroom amid the shiny white tile and slickness from the recent use of the shower. His slightly pinked flesh was rippled via the water droplets that lingered from his rain as he once more found himself staring into the refle
Chapter 101: Hounds From Hell Unknown Location, Unknown State... Snakeskin boots touched down onto white dust as the infamous killer kidnapper known fully as Jarrett Quinton Beaulieu slid out of his truck. His keen narrow eyes had been fixated on a rather impressive but barely held-together hunting shack as he gripped a silver barrel shotgun and made his way up the small wooden steps and into the front door. There had been a good deal of blood splattered about the place, remains and carcasses of dead animals of various kinds, and an occasional human body or two shot through the heart and lying where they had been dropped Jarrett had not been a stranger to nature, no stranger to nature at all when it came to men, women, children and animals alike.As he huffed and stomped about the darkened shack, he took note of the box of silver bullets that had been laid out on a makeshift table splattered with blood and animal guts. The flies had not yet gotten to the place but the rancid stench
Chapter 100: The Call Of The RoadLayla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Dawn had brought with it a series of aches and pains but none had been substantial aside from overexertion, Brick's gray eyes burst open as he found himself once more naked as the day he was born and surprisingly alone in Layla's bed. The groggy werewolf sighed as he slowly sat up in bed and eased his way out from beneath the tangled sheets. His sore muscles rippled and he seemed to have little regard for the fact that he'd been naked as the minor breeze lashed against his bare skin once he'd been out of the sheet and bed. He took long slow strides out of the bedroom his unruly nostrils flaring as the all-too-familiar scent of Layla Quinn filled them. He found her standing alone out on the porch dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, his t-shirt, with a cup of coffee in her hands as she seemed to stare out into the open wilderness. She didn't seem to take notice of him as he
Chapter 99: A Distractive IndulgenceLayla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... The constant beating of the wooden headboard had been quite the indicator as to how intense Brick's thrusts had been becoming as his thick cock delved deeper inside the tight confines of Layla's sodden sex. The naked brute had been all for indulging, but there had scarcely been a woman alive that could keep up with his wolfish stamina and the added sensation of Layla clenching around him as she gripped his body tighter made it all the more exciting for the beast that dwelled within. Brick fought to keep it at bay, knowing all too well that he could potentially get carried away and harm the poor girl when that had not been his intention. She had begged him for a distraction, and he'd opted to deliver but he had only done so after a promise of discussion when the time came. She was determined to hit the road with him, a rather tricky thing given his true nature and
Layla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... The keen gray eyes of one Brick Kenneally opened to find that he'd been in a now darkened bedroom with a still slumbering Layla Quinn resting amid the torn and tattered sheets that lined her bed. She'd still been quite naked, her pert breasts as visible in the semi-darkness as her lean belly, shapely hips, and thighs had been before night had fallen. He had no recollection of what had transpired before his having had sex with Layla a second time that afternoon aside from the heavy fog and a lingering headache that had only seemed to cause him a bit of a problem when he'd been on the verge of giving in to his beast blood during and before a full moon. Brick lay silently on his back, his naked muscular frame as bare to the elements and the chilling cold that filled the bedroom due to the shift in temperature given the night, he welcomed it, a refreshing change from the lustful heat that held him an
Chapter 97: A Feral's CallingLayla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... All around the heavy drops had been giving the old yellow house a run for its money pelting against the rooftop and window panes in rapid succession. The constant beating of the thick wooden headboard that lined Layla's bed and the back wall of her bedroom continued to resound as the mattress shifted and slid beneath the weight and intensity of Brick Kenneally's forward thrusts and backward motion. His larger naked body towered above the smaller lovely lass whose hair had been as wild and as sweat slick as his when their act had truly gotten underway. Their bare bodies had been exposed as much to the cool chill in the bedroom as it had been to their mutual gazes. Brick's massive upper body riddled with muscle and tension as he flexed pumping his well-toned hips in frequent succession all the while he'd been in between Layla's slender thighs.Frequent and heated kisses passed
Chapter 96: A Far Gone ConclusionThe Bathroom, The Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Despite his best efforts to keep silent about his slipping out of bed with Layla to answer the call of nature as intended, Brick found it very annoying that the moment he'd lined his impressive cock up to the toilet bowl the sound of his rushing urine had splashed about loudly echoing through the formerly darkened house as he attempted to hurry and get back to bed before she'd awoken. It had taken quite a bit of time to get her to relax well enough to fall asleep, given the day she had with her whole life being revealed as one big and tragic lie right from the mouth of the man she called father himself. Brick sighed as he attempted to make sense of the mess Jarrett Quinn's actions had made of his life and the life of young Sara Downes, selfishness had been the name of the game, and yet he knew without a shadow of a doubt that the old bastard had not been solely to b
Chapter 95: The Ballad Of Layla BeaulieuOpen Road, Outskirts of Temperance, South Dakota... Puffs of white smoke filled the old pickup truck as the lone driver's low blue eyes took in the sight of the vast horizon that appeared around him while drawing a long slow drag from the thin white stick that balanced between his harsh pale lips. He'd been a man on a mission for quite some time and the more distance he put between himself and the body he left on the highway, the more the reflections of a rather sinister past began to plague his already weary and twisted mind. The rugged angry man in the rattlesnake cowboy hat and worn blue jeans and a short-sleeved white t-shirt with muddy dust-blown brown cowboy boots was indeed born Jarrett Quinton Beaulieu, but he had gone by the name "Jarrett Quinn" for a good seventeen years. The memory of the night he'd taken it upon himself to put an end to his drug-addicted ex-wife due to her having smothered his little girl right along with her n
Chapter 94: A Rainy Heart To HeartLayla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... The pelting of the rain had continued against the roof of the old yellow house that had been a staple of Layla Quinn's childhood for as long as she could remember but the realization that it had merely been a figment of a false childhood and symbol of her captivity had finally set in, still, she held on to the better memories that had come along with the house, like meeting Brick, who had been snoring rather deeply beside her after their latest romp. She had never met a man like him before, despite his being older, she'd truly felt loved and comfortable when she'd been in his arms. He had been the first person to make her feel safe in a very long time and now she'd known the uncomfortable truth as to why that was. Layla let out a small sigh as she rested her head against Brick's bare chest, marveling at his many well-toned muscles and the fact that his strong hear
Chapter 93: A Natural ImpulseLayla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Nightfall had been a rather silent affair as Brick Kenneally found himself awakening in Layla's bed with both of them as naked as the day of their respective births and sprawled all over the mattress. Given their newfound relationship, it had not been an altogether unusual sight. However, Brick found that not only was he still lodged inside the still-slumbering younger woman's tight sex, but that his cock had been renewed in terms of his arousal. He could hardly recall much of what happened the previous few hours, as the rut had gotten to him and he'd been a slave to the will of the moon, although not up for quite a few hours, Luna's reach had been quite prominent when it came to Brick's scarcely hidden wolfish side and bid that he lay claim to the girl as he should have on the first night he'd taken her. The man and beast had been at odds over what sort of claim they ha
