Page 14 of Brick's Redemption

I dug my hand into her scalp, using her as she wanted. With every thrust, I felt her gagging, begging for more. When I couldn’t hold back any longer, I spilled down her throat, feeling her swallow around me.

Fuck. There was nothing like it.

I shuddered, pulling her up from the floor to kiss her. The wild, erotic taste of my cum mixed with her sweetness and made me want to do this all over again.

Afterward, I gently washed her body, taking the time to care for my woman. Wrapping her in a towel, I strode from the bathroom naked and placed her on the bed.

When Ginny opened the towel and spread her legs, we began round two.

Chapter 5 Brick

Six weeks ago, I brought Ginny home for Christmas.

The week after Christmas? I kidnapped her.

Now? I stood outside the bathroom door and listened to her puke, feeling terrible that she was ill but also hoping it had a reason. I’d bought a pregnancy test that morning, leaving early before many people were on the road, and placed it on the sink, hoping she decided to use it. This was the third time in a week she rushed into the bathroom to get sick.

Ginny groaned as she opened the door. “I feel like shit.”

“Anything I can do for you?”

“No.” She shook her head, and I closed my eyes, wanting to ask but trying not to push the issue before she was ready. I wouldn’t peek in there and invade her privacy, either. Tempting, but no. I wasn’t an asshole. Okay, not when it counted.

We stood on shaky ground since I brought Ginny to the safe house. She resented the reasons I had to hide her away and, in her shoes, I would have felt the same. But we didn’t know what the fuck the Crimson Skulls were planning. They already tried to kill us once and nearly succeeded.

Didn’t she understand this was the only way I had to protect her?

The weeks of solitude were taking a toll. She loved the location but hated the reason we had to stay. When combined with the absence of her family, it had to feel lonely. I was doing my best to keep her occupied and happy, but it didn’t change the fact that our rival club put a hit on her.

And me.

“I need to lay down. I’m so tired, Brick.”

Don’t forget I’m here, baby. Always. Doesn’t matter if you’re upset or angry. That won’t change.

“Okay. Let me help you get settled.”

I didn’t mention it was the first time she’d spoken to me in days. Her silence pissed me off, but I wasn’t angry with Ginny. It was the reason why I had to use a safe house and hide my woman to keep her alive.

We’d argued over the weekend, and it had been strained between us since, barely a civil word spoken by Ginny. She made her point. I still couldn’t let her leave.

Ginny curled onto her side, and I covered her with a blanket, brushing the hair back from her face as her eyes fluttered. My sweet girl was breathing deeply within seconds. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that she carried my child. All the signs were there. I knew she skipped a period because she told me two weeks ago.

My woman had a big secret, and I let her keep it. For now.

I didn’t want her stressed, not after learning about the pregnancy. Ginny had legitimate reasons for her frustration, and she was fucking smart, drawing conclusions faster than I expected. Not that I wanted to keep her in the dark.

Judge ordered me to keep shit locked down tight.

That order caused additional friction between us. I’d let too much time pass before I sat down and answered some of the questions I knew she had about her dad and his death. We never got far the day we had our picnic in front of the river. I kept everything close, trying to protect her, but it was backfiring on me. Everyone had sheltered her from the truth, but that didn’t help Ginny. It did more harm than good.

The truth needed to come from me, but I wasn’t sure she was ready to hear it.

War was brewing with the Crimson Skulls. Hell, it was already here. My club craved revenge, and I needed justice for Hesh. Not only that, I wanted vindication for the attack on Ginny.

But there was another reason I never anticipated. I had fallen in love with Hesh’s daughter; now, she carried my child. I wouldn’t hesitate to vindicate my brother, but now I had to protect his legacy, too.

My woman. My child.
