Brick's Addiction

Chapter Six
“$7.00 an hour,” Rose replied. “We waitresses mostly rely on tips.”
Brick snorted. “Not even minimum wage?”
Rose looked annoyed. “It’s not like I can afford to be picky. Jobs are few and between in Castle Falls. Ever since the Black Dogs MC moved in, they’ve effectively scared off tourists.”
Brick remembered Rose mentioning she had three jobs to support Stefan and her brother.
“You can work for us,” Brick said decidedly.
“Work for you how? Like the women I saw last night?” she asked.
“No.” Brick suddenly growled. Just thinking of Rose running around half naked while his MC brothers leered made his blood boil. “You don’t have to be a club whore. Those women wanted to be here because they wanted a little fun and adventure. The MC runs other businesses in town. A sandwich store, an auto repair shop, cafe, a laundromat—you name it.”
“Are those businesses,” Rose asked, hesitating, “a front for something else?”
“Of course, but they’re legitimate businesses nonetheless,” Brick said. “We’d pay you a lot better than your previous employers. You don’t need to juggle three jobs just to survive.”
Hell, if she wanted, she didn’t need to work for the rest of her life. Brick would take care of her and Stefan just fine, except telling her that might send her running.
“I might take you up on that offer,” Rose admitted. There was a knock on the door. Brick hated being interrupted, but it might be important.
“Who is it?” Brick asked.
“It’s me. I brought the stuff you asked for, Brick,” Prudence said.
Brick opened the door and let Prudence and Grizzly in. Grizzly brought in a baby cot and other baby stuff Brick asked for. He didn’t expect it to be a lot, but King’s old lady had outdone herself. Rose looked a little overwhelmed.
“You must be Rose,” Prudence said, walking up to the other woman. She introduced herself.
“Thank you. I’m not sure what I can do to repay you for all this,” Rose said.
“Thank Brick, not me. He wanted to make sure you have everything you needed,” Prudence said with a smile.
“You did all this for me?” Rose asked. Stefan woke from all the excitement. Rose picked him up and showed him his new toys.
“It’s nothing. Just extra supplies Prudence didn’t need,” Brick explained. “Say, Prudence, could you do me a favor and take Stefan here?”
Rose looked at him, then at Prudence. Brick gauged her reaction. He wasn’t a bastard. If Rose told her she wasn’t comfortable letting someone else babysit Stefan for a little while, then he’d respect her decision.
“I don’t mind at all. I need to feed Garth as well,” Prudence said.
“How old is Garth?” Rose asked Prudence softly.
“He’ll turn one next month,” Prudence said. The other woman took out her phone then showed Rose pics of Garth. Brick groaned, wondering if this was going to take long.
“Okay,” Rose finally said. “I owe you one.”
“Not a problem. I hope we’ll be good friends, Rose,” Prudence said.
Rose handed Stefan to him, and Prudence crooned at the baby. He seemed delighted by her. Then again, Stefan seemed to get along with everyone. He was an easy baby to handle, Brick mused.
“Good friends?” Rose asked.
“That’s right. There are other old ladies in the club, but they’re older than I am. It’s nice to be able to hang out with someone my age,” Prudence said. The sly fox gave Brick a wink. King didn’t see it, but his old lady did. That Rose was different from all the girls Brick had hooked up before.
Grizzly, Prudence, and Stefan finally exited the room, leaving Rose once more alone with Brick.
“No one has ever done anything for me like this before.” She walked up to him, steps hesitant. Rose grew determined, bold as she pressed one hand against the skin over his heart.
“You’re a good man, Brick. How do I even begin to thank you for everything?” she asked.
Using two fingers, Brick tipped her chin, locking his eyes with hers. “I have an idea,” Brick said as he leaned in close and finally did what he’d been wanting to do since he met her.
He kissed her for real, no holds barred. Without a baby between them, Brick took his time tasting her. Sweetness exploded on his tongue. He tugged her close, and she let out a little gasp of surprise but didn’t push him away. Brick deepened the kiss, and the little minx sucked down on his tongue.
Brick slid his hands under her shirt, touching soft and creamy skin. Rose didn’t wear any bra, so he could see her nipples under the huge shirt he wore. He bunched up her shirt. They paused from the kiss so Brick could yank her shirt off without ceremony.
Rose widened her eyes. Her breaths came in fast.
“Say the word and I’ll stop,” he told her.
Brick usually got what he wanted, and he had no problem inviting women to bed in the past. Problem was, Brick never wanted any of them to stay. He didn’t establish any sort of deep connection with them beyond the intimate, but Rose was different. Brick had known that from the start.
“Don’t stop,” Rose whispered. “It’s been so long for me.”
Brick led her to the bed. “I’ve been looking forward to this.”
Rose climbed up his bed and lay on her back. An angel, waiting to be ravished by a beast. Brick took off his shirt, smirking as he caught sight of the silent appreciation in her eyes. His pants and underwear came next. Rose’s gaze lingered on the package between his legs.
She sucked in a breath. Just looking at his tempting prize made him rock hard.
He climbed on top of her. Gathering her arms above her head, Brick pinned them while he took his time kissing her, enjoying her. Rose responded hungrily to his kiss, and she moaned when he moved his mouth to the side of her neck. Her nipples hardened, rubbing against his chest.
Brick worked his way down, releasing her arms so he could focus on her breasts. Rose clutched the sheets above her, watching him with half-lidded eyes. Brick kissed both her nipples, then took the left one in his mouth. He sucked on it, making her groan, and he set his teeth on the bud and bit.
She gasped as Brick slid his hand past the band of her panties. He began fingering her cunt, which was already sopping wet for him. Brick marked her on her other nipple, memorizing her sweet cry in his head. He kissed her navel, then settled between her legs.
Brick peeled her panty down her legs and dropped it to the floor. She blushed as he gazed at her. His teeth marks looked vivid under the morning light, and possessive want surged through his entire body. Rose parted her thighs for him, exposing the pink folds of her pussy peeking under the dark curls of her pubic hair.
“Look at you, baby,” Brick murmured. “So fucking perfect.”
He pressed a kiss to her inner thigh, then gave her clit a long lick. She shuddered above him.
“I want to see you come for me,” Brick said.
