Chapter 71: Intimate BlissLayla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Sweat slick and still panting from their most recent act, both Layla Quinn and Brick Kenneally found themselves lounging a bit in bed as their word had given way to the one they shared with everyone else in a matter of moments. Brick grunted and slicked back his hair as he pulled back from Layla reaching his knees as the bulk of his superior weight dropped onto the bed. Layla whimpered at the loss of him but was grateful to be taking in long full breaths as she sat up in bed, gripping the crisp white sheet over her exposed breasts prompting Brick to chuckle darkly for a few moments as his grey eyes took in the disheveled sight of her."It's a little late for that ain't it?" he asked with an arched brow."Shut up jerk I can be cold for all you know," she replied rolling her eyes.Brick chuckled once more before kissing her lips and climbing out of her bed. Once again she'd been p
Chapter 72: A New Line In The Water Open Road, Temperance, South Dakota... Once again high winds and the chill of a near on nightly breeze had greeted Brick Kenneally when he found himself on the road again courtesy of his bike as he sped down the winding highways after departing from The Quinn residence following a hot meal, a quick shower and leaving Layla with a final kiss before heading back into the big wide world. While he had enjoyed his time with his new lover, he'd been determined to find out more about his missing person's case and more importantly, what happened to the little girl and how Layla's mother had been possibly involved with the kidnapper/murderer in the first place. There was a lot that wasn't seeming to add up about what happened, not when it came to the missing girl and especially not when it came to the blonde. Brick had especially been suspicious about the likes of Jarrett Quinn and what he had been about ever since he first met him. He could tell ev
Chapter 73: What It Means To Be A Woman Layla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Afternoon caught a formerly slumbering Layla Quinn by surprise as she awoke to find she'd been in bed alone following her extended night with Brick Kenneally. Her legs and body felt as heavy as they had had when she'd been running in gym class and the light stinging from between her slender thighs in the wake of her many romps with the older biker man had been the first thing that stimulated her recollection of the fact that she'd no longer been as inexperienced in the ways of carnal exploits as she had been previously. Layla let out a sigh as she attempted to adjust to the stinging sensation which had dulled during her slumber and seemingly returned full force once she'd been fully awakened. She smirked a bit to herself as her recollection of time spent with Brick had been well worth the stinging as she relished the moment before his parting. He'd done quite a g
Chapter 74: Chasing Down A Lead Charlie Mack's Pasture, Northside, Temperance, South Dakota... The hum from the engine of Brick Kenneally's motorcycle filled the air as he tore down the dusty road headed toward a large white house that sat smack dab in the center of the vast property covered with dead grass and dark soil. He smirked as he noted the breeze that hit him as his bike parked up beside an old faded red pickup truck too old and too beat up to recall the make in the model by the naked eye. He didn't suppose the old man got many visitors as he climbed off his bike after shutting it down. He still kicked up his fair share of dust before his boots hit the dirt but he weathered it just fine as he approached the house. He had attempted to knock on the door outright noticing the chipped white paint and termite-eaten boards of the porch as he turned his attention to a man that appeared to have been working in the backyard wearing denim overalls and a large white stedson hat.
Chapter 75: The Healing Hands Of UncertaintyThe Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Layla had spent the better part of her day resting and ensuring the house had been clean. It was a nice change of pace with Brutus gone with her father and even less fun with Brick having gone off to further investigate the missing girl's case. It was a relatively peaceful afternoon for her as she took time to catch up on her studies and socialize with her friends over the phone. She had not worked up the courage to go see them in person with no one to watch the house she more or less stayed in her bedroom thinking about Brick and what they had been up to before the handsome biker took his leave of her. As time began to pass while she'd been busily moving about and enjoying her first real day of freedom. Layla noticed a figure moving through the trees at the height of the afternoon. The blazing heat of the sun and the silence had left a lot to be desired but she was quite c
Chapter 76: Touch And GoThe Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Layla sat looking over the unconscious Brick Kenneally in shock for what seemed like hours as opposed to several minutes before her brain began working again. She had never seen him so out of sorts, flashes of the strong man that saved her life back in the alley at Earl's Diner came to her in waves as well as every moment she spent in his company since that time. Layla had not known what to do with Brick being out cold but she was relieved to see his chest rising and falling as more of the black veins began to recede and the allergic reaction was healing on its own now that the silver bullets had been removed from his body. Coming to her senses after taking notice of his continued breathing, Layla set to work cleaning up the blood from the floor and his body, as she placed a soft pillow beneath his head as he rested in relative silence while his body continued to heal from the injuries sustain
Chapter 77: A Means Of Connection Layla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Blurry eyes of hypnotic grey opened to find a familiar setting once the formerly unconscious Brick Kenneally finally awakened in Layla Quinn's bed. He'd been bandaged rather skillfully and a bit sore, to say the least, but he'd been alive and kicking which was more than he could say for old Charlie Mack. The frustration of having been so easily set up and losing his only real lead had returned and prompted Brick to throw off the crisp white sheet that covered his body as he attempted to get out of Layla's rather comfortable bed. His early motion made him wince in pain due to his injuries and the lingering effects of being impaled with silver bullets. He took note of the fact that he'd been completely naked as he lay in Layla's bed and that he'd no longer been covered with blood. After a brief yawn, Brick slid out of bed and slowly exited the bedroom. A quick sniff
Chapter 78: Back In The PinkLayla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Layla found herself looking up at her biker lover Brick from the center of her messy bed as he stood towering over her and slowly removing the bandages that she'd placed on his chest following her removing the sliver bullets that threatened to end his life on her watch. She gasped in shock when she saw that there wasn't even a lingering scar as she noted his smooth bare flesh had been restored to what it was prior to the shooting incident. Brick treated her to a wicked grin before climbing onto the bed and slowly discarding her pants and the blouse she picked out some time prior to his visit. He had guessed that she planned to go somewhere after he left but ended up canceling when he passed out. Softly and slowly, Brick moved along her bare body kissing her as she ran her fingers through his long locks amazed that he'd been the same man that she had been worried would nev
