Chapter 41: The Hottest Thing Since Sliced BreadInterior, Earl's Diner, Temperance, South Dakota... Layla sighed as she ventured back into the diner and proceeded to get herself ready to face the seemingly never-ending crowd of people that had come in for a bite to eat no matter the time of day or the type of weather. Derrick made his way over toward her at the bar with a big grin filed across his face as he had been among the few who had guessed what she'd been doing on her break once Brick saw his way to venturing outside for a few minutes. The old timers Rooster and Gunther had been among the remnant who had guessed what their illustrious leader had been up to when he had gone out telling the group that he needed some air after chugging down the last of his beer and swiping another piece of pie before his exit. Layla rolled her eyes as she took note of Derrick and his smug expression. She knew she would never get to have any sort of pretend normalcy with him hovering around
Chapter 42: A Renegade CollarThe Sheriff's Office, Temperance, South Dakota... Tobacco spit reflected off the darkened asphalt as Brick Kenneally stood outside the local sheriff's station with his arms folded across his biker leather-clad chest. He had been something on the impatient side as he had been pressed for time before Layla's shift ended at the diner and he had to venture back to meet up with her. He had not in the least been looking forward to having to leave Temperance, or Layla behind, but business was business and they were always in the need of cash no matter what town they ventured to. Just as before, Sheriff Tillman managed to come round the corner and greeted the larger brute of a man with the tipping of his brown hat as he opened the door to his office and Brick followed after him. The height comparison was quite an interesting one as Brick had to duck to enter the office through the door, while the good sheriff strolled inside. "It's always a pleasure doing b
Chapter 43: Creek Fishing In The DarkThe Bustop, Temperance, South Dakota... Rumbling from the engine of Brick's motorcycle filled the newly freed Layla Quinn's ears as she headed toward the sound following the conclusion of her shift at Earl's Diner. She had managed to get through the whole day amid questions from Derrick and chatter from Phoebe about her dates with Art Carrey. While Layla had been happy for her friend, she was more interested in her plans for when work had concluded and she'd found herself alone with Brick Kenneally once again. He sat on top of his bike with something of a wicked smirk as she managed to reach him without prying eyes or a tail in the form of her best friend who had been more than interested in her union with the older ruggedly handsome man. He'd been a welcome sight, all things considered, and once she very much looked forward to all day despite the packed diner and the constant scrubbing of dishes."Well, ain't you a looker?" said Brick in his
Chapter 44: Encroaching Insecurities And InnuendosThe Quinn Residence, Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... The familiar sight of the yellow house amid tall trees put Layla on edge as she had not known if and when her father had decided to show up and she had not wanted there to be an altercation between the two apparent men in her life. She'd still been reeling mentally and physically from what happened between her and Brick at the creek and for the most part, had not known how best to deal with it. He had been vastly experienced in comparison to her and she worried that if they had crossed that untouched threshold and she accepted him, then he'd simply get bored with her and her lack of ability to please him and move on to the next available body he'd come across. Brick seemed to note her relative silence and felt the anxiousness within her as if it had been his own. "Something wrong?" he asked catching her completely off guard as they got close to her house before he stoppe
Chapter 45: A Beautiful MessOpen Road, Temperance, South Dakota... The wind beating against Brick's body and making his cut flap in the distance had been quite the sight as the leather-clad brute of a man made his way down various winding roads as he took his leave of Layla's family home. He couldn't hide the smile filed across his ruggedly handsome and bearded face as he thought back to the past few hours when he'd been on the road with the young waitress and how she clung to him. He'd even liked when she had her hair all over her head. The rugged biker found himself leaning more and more into the notion that the old timers had been right about him, and the issue with imprinting. Layla had been unlike anyone he'd ever known and she had yet to even go out and experience the world for herself. Crossing state lines had been something he'd done the moment he was able to hit the road. His quest to see as much of the country he'd shipped off to defend was what had initially driven h
Chapter 46: A Petty Means Of RetributionBack Country Dirt Road, Unknown City, Unknown State....(2001) The eerie bright orange glow of a freshly lit cigarette had been all that the rather intense-looking and silent driver had in the way as a means of an active thing to command his attention. His dulled blue eyes had been fixated on the hard water battered faded yellow trailer at the very end of his sights. It was near dusk and the sun had long since disappeared from view as the icy chill filled the air about as cold as the heart of the poised man who had been patiently awaiting the inhabitants of the trailer. Heavy bags could be seen beneath his eyes and his nose being wrinkled in disgust had been part of the reason for the noticeably visible frown lines along his rugged-looking pale face. His long dirty blond locks were draped over his broad shoulders and beneath a dark cap as he slowly ran his fingers along the smooth silver barrel of the gun that rested across his right thigh. H
Chapter 47: The Short Ride Of Steel CowboysEarl's Diner, Temperance, South Dakota... True to form, old man Gunner and Rooster were already sitting at the front counter and discussing their upcoming travel plans. Taz and Goldie were getting a bit hot and heavy in the back and Art had finished inspecting the bikes and determining their condition for the road trip, despite being a short way from Temperance. He'd been of the mind to be better safe than sorry and for once Brick was inclined to agree with him. Ironclad had been ensuring the boys didn't get into too much trouble while their President had been away. Brick walked up to the counter and ordered a beer settling his nerves to ready himself for the trip ahead. Gunner seemed to be the first to notice the rather serious expression on the younger werewolf's face as he downed the beer quickly and called for the attention of his boys, Goldie included. The rowdy bunch had instinctively turned their attention to the matters at hand
Chapter 48: Mr. Saturady Night SpecialUnkown Location, Unkown State (2001)... Tearful blue eyes awakened surrounded by the unwelcome darkness of an empty room as a tiny six-year-old girl set about getting to know her new surroundings once the effects of the chloroform wore off and she found herself alone in an unsavory and unfamiliar place. A good deal of fear coursed through her young body as she attempted to make sense of what happened to her. The flickering of recollective fragments of her limited young memory of going out to a carnival with her parents and having a good deal of fun with various games and rides before everything took a turn for the worst following a trip to the portapotty. More tears streamed down her tiny cheeks as she began to believe that it had been her fault that her parents had not come back for her. She wasn't too keen on the company she was forced to keep in the form of the blonde woman that she'd run into at the carnival and the silent man who often
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
