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
Chapter 79: Intermittent Bliss Layla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Soft moans filled the bedroom amid the afternoon sun as Layla Quinn found herself given to her biker lover's strong and rapid series of thrusts as his massive appendage slid in and out of her lower depths. She clung to him as much as before only to be lifted up off the bed with her arms wrapped around his rather thick neck and her smaller body quite the contrast even naked as he held her close to his bare muscle-rippled chest his strong arms gripping her bare nether cheeks as he held her in place as she slowly bounced along his massive appendage the sound of skin slapping against skin echoing throughout the bedroom as Brick proved once more that he'd been the same strong biker brute that had come into her town on a whim. If she were to be honest, she had liked when he held her up in his strong arms as she bounced rather uneasily on his massive cock, it was the sort of
Chapter 80: Like A Blood Hound Layla's Bedroom, The Quinn Residence, The Backwoods, Temperance, South Dakota... Layla had been half asleep when Brick had slipped out of her bed and proceeded to get dressed. He didn't seem to mind the blood that covered his clothes nor the fact that they had holes in them. His cut was untouched aside from a few splatters of blood that could easily be washed off given the material and it was all he cared for despite what became of his shirt, which he left on the living room floor. Brick seemed to dust himself off and turned his attention to venturing back toward Layla's bedroom. She'd still been half asleep when he gently kissed her on the forehead and left her to her own devices. He knew already that she'd need her rest given her shift and school had been on the horizon as he headed back out the front door, recalling how he had crawled from where he'd been shot to her front porch, never more grateful than he had been in that moment that she'd bee
Chapter 81: The Complexities Of Inner Change Interior Earl's Diner, Temperance, South Dakota... A sigh came from a rather exhausted Layla Quinn as she moved about the kitchen washing dishes and noting the time following yet another long and uneventful day in the wake of her big bad biker lover, Brick Kennally leaving town in pursuit of a new lead for the missing girl's case. Phoebe had been curious as to why she'd suddenly been moping around since the Howler M.C. had taken their leave for the time being. Layla tried her best to ignore her co-worker's teasing. She had been no better than Derrick and Amy when she'd gone to school and their non-stop questions about her hot afternoon with Brick Kenneally. She had expected that Derrick couldn't keep his mouth shut to save his life, especially when it came to her and Brick, but she had been worried that his jaw-jacking would eventually get back to her father, whom she had been far from ready knowing about her being sexually active,
Chapter 82: The Drawing Of Conclusions Road Side Rest Stop, Open Highway, Outskirts... The roar of bike engines had been steady as Brick Kenneally and the remaining members of The Howler M.C. met at a rest stop between towns as they filled up on gas and a few snacks before they managed to reach their newly acquired destination. It was a sweltering day, and the sun beat down on them as if it had an agenda. Brick found a moment or two alone while his crew geared up and hydrated. His thoughts returned to Layla and the time he'd spent with her. She saved his life, something he never would have expected when he first met her in the back of Earl's Diner, there was no fear, no hesitation, and a measure of protectiveness he had not seen nor felt since he'd left home. For a moment, he wondered how she'd react to finding out that not everything about him had been as it seemed. As close as they had gotten in the past few weeks, he had not even remotely approached the subject to inform her
Chapter 83: The Drawbacks Of Small-Town Gossip Forest Lake High School, Temperance, South Dakota... Layla Quinn had seemingly been aloof when making her way down the vast halls of her high school with high anticipation of what would become of her and Brick's relationship when he got back and what her father would have to say about it. Her stomach had been in knots over the outcome of them possibly clashing, with them being the two most important men in her life at the moment. The man who raised her and the man who had made her a woman, at least in her own mind. Layla had been so caught up in the whirlwind of emotions about her life that she had not taken the time to notice her friends had gathered and were all staring at her. She looked back at them with an arched brow and rolled her eyes at the aspect of knowing behind their eyes. It was clear that Derrick had been quite chatty as of late and couldn't hold water about her relationship with Brick following his untimely interrup
Chapter 84 : Moonlit Madness Road Side Rest Stop, Open Highway, Outskirts... A final puff on the long thin white cigarette had seen Brick Kenneally tossing it onto the ground and stamping it out with his dark-colored workboot. He had a rather annoyed look that filed across his face as he took in the slightly spicy air that surrounded them. His nostrils flared and his muscles tensed as he took his time surveying the area. It had been a while since he'd really taken in the sights, having been so caught up with the current missing persons case and spending as much time with Layla as possible. A near-death experience had been just the thing to make him further appreciate the life he had as he noted the shifting of the wind that blew around him. He took a moment to reflect on his journey thus far and had been glad that he rolled into Temperance when he did, despite it being a pitstop for another package they had intended to intercept. His reluctance to give in to the call of the mo
