Almost a month had gone by since the attack at the casino. Kalon hadn't set foot inside of the estate since he ordered his guards to take me back from the safe house and left without another word.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnF6RoRxzE
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B4709ByH1
I wasn't sure what to really make of him at this point or the feeling he caused when he was around. I couldn't help the thoughts that filled my head with some sick fantasy I had of being with my boss. The man who flipped my life upside down...and very possibly the reason why my brother was murdered in the first place.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexrurk2ND1
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuTWlxXOUZ
As the days passed, I did my best to keep distracted since Naomi wasn't around to boss me. May had kept me great company and even allowed me to assist with some of her daily chores.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nAFgA4QiR
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PMN9zW3nZ
Keeping busy with her had helped me try to keep my mind off of Kalon and that moment between us in his hotel room. I wasn't sure what his motive was, but all I knew is he was confusing as hell. He always seemed so cryptic and cold.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmjg85wJQa
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0huzMjVBIE
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsCIXlV3BG
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAmJ1quTbZ
I just wanted to keep him out of my head and focus on anything else. Thankfully, I got lucky one day and was able to finally get Landon to talk to me.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmARdqvl25
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL8POLfGvR
One day, I noticed him outside by the tennis fields so I took it upon myself to corner him and force him to listen to my apology. It went better than I had expected and he admitted he had really missed having me around.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qzrHWdsO0
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmINUUbH0Om
To make it even better, big brother Jax was even starting to warm up to me. I'd catch him giving me sneaky little glares when he'd enter the kitchen and find his brother and I howling over some dumb ass Youtube video we'd find. I could tell he wanted to keep me away from potentially causing any trouble for Landon with the boss, but the blow-up from him never came.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLRA8c3ZlI
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpqWAlMhV5
It was nice having Landon around again and the newcomers who recently arrived. Liam, Samuel, and Finn were the three newest additions to the home who apparently had a history with Landon and his brother. They were all older and had the same rich, pretty boy vibes as Jax did. Despite the manor turning into a literal frat house, I was grateful to have some entertainment.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6tUGBvtou
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZJOIpPYN1
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylC0w51tC7
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1YTVsPUmh
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh13AhbD5Iu
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6OYbDbSMk
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq5IUa0yIk
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAfY9trSIh
"Don't be so down, Robbie. You know the weather right now is perfect to take advantage of the pool. "May said cheerfully, setting out sandwiches on the counter.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaEAGrOAH6
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSD31pB4kN
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY3LwtR9Q6
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dmpYkYfFN
"When don't you complain?" Jax scoffed as he entered the kitchen. He picked up a sandwich from the island and took a bite. "Aren't there plenty of chores for you to do?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4i9MvkPea
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4CEL7CjeO
"Okay, mom."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqldVpH0K29
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRM7zOURdD
He rolled his eyes and continued to walk past the three of us with his mouth stuffed with cheese and ham as he left again.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPQCMQplwU
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplC2gbG8Sa
That was usually how our brief interactions went. I'd get some kind of insult usually and then he'd disappear. Whatever attraction Jax had for me, in the beginning, was long gone after the club night.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTHxrozxhG
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBGM1fflcH
I reached out to grab a sandwich from the tray on the counter but stopped when a hand knocked mine away with a painful slap and snatched it.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ1mkHMmjB
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83bgCVOstY
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PGW2hYZ56
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb3sByT2uu
"Too slow, Quinn." Samuel smiled widely and took a large bite. His dark eyes were shielded by a college baseball cap that contained his wild, ginger locks.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0lPbrzBPl
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopqVaJUVJZ
Out of the new boys to the group, Samuel had certainly been the most annoying so far. Each day was met with him causing a fistfight with the others over dumb shit like someone taking the last beer or starting some argument over a football team. He usually made up for it with his sick sense of humor and crude sex stories.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBTNBTpIrk
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo41UNGqFn
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Hti5cdn3
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2w6LWVieK
"Sorry."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHVuOrlBAS
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aGjtAxPto
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecQTnhLpDl
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjZVEZ7lPU
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLhunC61Zs
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzqlwkg2bZ
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7HW4L83Fd
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfjiV4F72f
"I'm not that bad looking."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0pDRFWFtp
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE4ymJ07OD
All of us turned to see Liam walking into the room with Finn. He could definitely pass as another Jax. He had the same light blonde hair with a slight curl and green eyes. The only difference was he was at least 5 years older and had tattoos scattered on each arm. 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbIlwvWPcm
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7VHTUUQMa
Finn was the youngest of them and so far the sweetest. He was a tall, lanky kid with black shaggy hair and a weird scar over his left eye. He was the only one who ever stayed behind to help with cleaning up after everyone else.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTvm6rqRJ7
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO0JWZkOgy
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf2PIb0xn9
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w4HaBkWxs
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8bkaw0JsD
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4GH5BQUBD
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZM9KCOqQ8
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkqfXJURgV
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTgypgX5vD
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2wHtVuNKe
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuG33B8WqH
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWc2JfSjSJ
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlEb4Bb4nn
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM0B2JzJ2r
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3FuoiTjlJ
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rcskm9voT
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXxnpi8NcR
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilv00DChaq
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP7rJsrBED
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡModyiRpMp6
Samuel glared at him but didn't say another word. I was completely taken back by Landon's display of anger. He had never been one to stand up for himself and just always seemed to mold to whatever was going on.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB7eeP75wt
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbamH8uZYYs
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEockFKMBG6
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtDMUXhAnW
"I don't want to get into it."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlszRZEvUcD
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSopl4NhlV
"Don't keep things a secret," I sighed and picked at my crust. "I'm not going to push you into anything, but I also deserve to know what goes on around this place."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamNsuUiv3j
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MswwN0AwC
He sat silently and stared at his hands in his lap. Something about his expression felt so unsettling and I wasn't sure if it was because Carlos had been brought up or because of all the trouble I had caused him.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjahQu2G622
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3k97pc8bO
I slid off the stool and walked out towards the balcony. The weather was amazing today, the lawn was a luscious green and the breeze had a slight chill. It wasn't humid and sticky like it had been over the past few weeks.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJvxR3ec7J
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa7gnIoCyc
I understood I would always be kept out of the inner workings of the organization. It didn't take a genius to piece together that I was living under the watch of a mafia boss. I had signed away my freedom to live a life of secrecy and security forever. There were days were I regretted ever signing the contract and other days I was grateful because I did have so much more than before.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YkBrAcXiE
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux9VbCLvv5
I couldn't entirely blame my brother for becoming involved with them. Before he died, we were starting to see an increase in some of the money he was bringing home. I tried to not question him too much but had chopped it up to him selling larger quantities of drugs.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLS4GDKbtm
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiJnNyrV83
He tried really hard to keep that part of him a secret. He knew I wasn't happy with his decisions, but I knew we needed the money to survive. We were barely afloat and without Josh, I would've ended up homeless if I didn't sign my life away.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AuI9NgXiS
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlRum0RpYj
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNfNIaLMmc
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrG2xpEt4C
"What's going on, Quinn?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb1TeFfLx1
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH74BYuE1F
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyds8mgz5Eq
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo8Btl7Mfc
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpZUpoHWIl
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXXkp8tmxY
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmQZ4EJBku
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBiGmN6Vkc
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId7B1Rfssa
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RoIHljlAe
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjkq5zQyZ7
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yKBPxvzzT
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVaoGVQm9c
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGCraCPtcd
"I was just trying to have some fun," I admitted and leaned onto the railing. "I wasn't trying to cause problems, but it got out of hand."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7lqgXxReN
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6xr7ckZTW
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWwlpK74ij
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbss8Z4rffk
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxpE0dSLPE
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03prSGBpuU
"The boys and I frequent a club downtown pretty often. It's basically just for the family and run by the organization only. You don't have to worry about causing a scene or putting the Wolfe name at risk."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVAThhdrkj
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqFsjmjDfa
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24mKf4L2kS
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n5EhmhVW3
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR7mI42g00
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MIuOexpma
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdKLxmSoiK
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY91XLoxN8
He rolled his eyes, "Kalon isn't even here and I'm sure Axel would be more than happy to keep an eye out for you. If shit goes south with the boss man, he'll get you out of it considering he's his right hand."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2KeeYphBQ
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNXdXYJ1mX
"He's here?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWtLP5Uh3X
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMESjc6PsD
"Mhmm," He said and blew out a heavy smoke cloud. "He got in last night and I'm sure he'd love to escort you there."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJpKzr1Kh2
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzaYVVoyVx
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKMiPB5ZvT
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qk6qVceyV
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU5prbpE0L
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMZ8X5aKVM
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSBzuDcmPN
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlsWS1YzHz
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4xpcswYKF
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8dzKu2H4s
I nodded and looked back inside where Landon was sitting. He was staring back at me and seemed to have been watching the two of us the entire time.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56IACO5oBy
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBWmP0kBxz
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKchuSv1aj
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQOIAZOrD2
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxLUbjA7FL

"Keep up, Quinn!"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEtpT6321c
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiLsSCFBBB
I felt my ankle snap to the side as I tried to pick up my speed and silently cursed Samuel under my breath. I don't know why I decided to wear death trap shoes again, but I knew I would be paying for it by the end of the night.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxKCe0AxHQ
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpptCDWCSZZ
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkX4LOO3Mt
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01HIt0Kk5a
Samuel had decided to rope Finn and Liam into our trouble tonight and the plan was to meet Axel at the front so no problems were getting inside. Apparently, the club was Wolfe territory only aside from a few partners Kalon had close ties with.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGSitXlrZR
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHkcwPFmO6
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW84KZlgzES

"Dick!"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgByaOD2RrM
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDUY8cDXS1
The four of us made our way up to what looked like an abandoned factory warehouse. There were no cars and from what I could see and hear, everything looked to be quiet and dark.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZhPASpGp8
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oVRQE85yX
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLwzfQHvjH
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLApGsSPTE6
"Yes, Quinn," Samuel muttered as we came to a stop in front of a door. We watched as he rapped against the metal door several times.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd4VrpZTbT
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFtAH8eFbq
A little piece of metal slid back at the top of the door. Flashing strobe lights pooled through along with heavy EDM playing in the background.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZRtDab1yj
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefItTRD1C1
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnB0hiFj99
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9elBTjYv6O
The opening shut again and a series of locks could be heard unlocking before the door groaned open and a very familiar face stepped out onto the steps. 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHeWmGVry5
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdfLTDO3xy
Axel smiled widely and pushed back his dark locks from his face. A five o'clock shadow covered his jaw and he was dressed in a simple white tee and jeans.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7o6hXOdoO
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT6uW4kTMl
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeCTk6I4Oh
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZE8oWvW1K
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUKyZjKNKq
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTteMOoPQnB
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtsXpkHpbW
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjfEYUCL1u
"Kalon did say you were doing wonderful," He praised and popped a toothpick between his lips. "I bet working for him has been an adventure already."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUPp8K2EQW
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW8LgsJvRD
"You could say that."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscz3z79Y69
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy7UVNnRRv
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Sy29xoEG
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3ptzWbF1x
My stomach turned with anticipation as his lips brushed my skin softly. His dark hair hung loosely in front of his eyes. He looked so much better than I had remembered.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOkNZD3BgC
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynNkYGXjjl
"Me too."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkNJDNkJSN
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwzadiAAUQ
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT6KsK7Jaq
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD9hy22DIx
Axel stepped back to pull the door open and let the four of us step inside. You never would've known that we were walking into a club until the doors opened.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFtFbqFGvs
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7s2qrAfLw
It looked just like a normal strip club. The front was lined with a bar and there was a stage in the middle of the room where several girls were dancing topless. Men were crowded around the stages, tossing money and slamming back shots.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIegHWNceq
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDN5DeMKuJ
I could already make out a few familiar faces from some of the men I would see come in and out of the home or chauffering Kalon around when he wasn't in the mood to drive one of his sports cars.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16A1URCTMT
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qFLt9PZb7
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyTm8qQrHh
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnpl1n8XnJ
"His dad owned a lot of businesses before everything was handed down after he passed away. He used to primarily invest in clubs and casinos because the money was good and easy to conceal."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSzAq0dko9
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMQKSovNFU
"Money laundering?" I laughed.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCLRdvVNfb
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErFibNQBhg
"Smart girl," He winked. "It's just business, doll. I'm sure by now you've been able to piece together the kind of business Kalon enjoys involving himself in."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxrt3o1He0
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SEfOjgM1U
"Seems like a lot to handle."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg8SYTnE5V
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6qYI6S6D9
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezUnTk91Ds
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQV1bucJ5F
"Who am I to say no?" I laughed and he pulled me along by my hand. The lights cast shadows across our faces as the strobe danced to the beat. Girls on the stage were now crawling across the stage in tiny panties as men hungrily tossed money at them.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAtGz2gB6d
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRkig87042
"Two!" Axel yelled over the bass to the bartender. The two of us slid onto the stools together and leaned in close. "I'm really glad you came tonight, Robbie. I've been thinking about you a lot."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7TAIfQQdt
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxkfNrdFwe
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthBrnvUctD
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyth4K7pac
We clinked the tiny cups together and knocked them back. The brown liquid burned my throat as it trickled down. Axel smirked a bit at my reaction and signaled for two more.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNLvF0z8Nj
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqmunuK6rp
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hodw3MpLK
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv91xa9FoH
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cIaUvoVYE
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew1h3SmwcN
He put his hand up. "Don't apologize, Robbie. I know I came on strong and it's weird considering the position I'm in."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguT1fwm5V1
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0QhCqniMp
I nodded a bit and looked out at the club floor where I could see the boys hollering at the naked girls on the stage.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBjmq4huW7
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE1QPr6Qbm
Axel continued, "I just want my intentions to be clear. I know I seem like a real lady killer, but I'm a gentleman at heart and very shy." He winked playfully and knocked his glass against mine again.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAHP3IXut1
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FnC1yra5p
"A true gentleman you say?" I mimicked him and knocked the second one back. My head was already rushing from the alcohol hitting so fast.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpaT2yD613
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrwMuUP3n8
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA4clJ5bsk
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CktMsnGpf
I laughed and shook my head. "Are you trying to get me trashed? I don't want to get myself into too much trouble with your cousin."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dDqqthFlo
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfPfQOMEGM
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9a5ulreb2

"Are the two of you close?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpPQAOyizn
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICTjmqI33l
He shrugged a bit, "I wouldn't say we are necessarily close, but really we don't have any other family. Kalon's been kind of on his own since he was a teenager, all of the family that does exist resides in Russia and they just tend to keep him at an arms distance."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy9LraNeea
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PzZuMyI8R
"What about you?" 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUIk9kqpmp
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdtLCXTfWc
"Nothing interesting," He sighed and leaned back against the bar. "I've been an orphan since my parents died when I was ten, so I stayed with an aunt before Kalon's father took me in at sixteen. I kind of bounced around for a while though."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8yT93uf4D
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCoJOrMUJf
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtpnG6VYzz
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdBqtSu6rf
"The money is nice and I don't really have to step in unless necessary, so I just get to drink and party whenever I want."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TNbahScfY
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwwA4sx7q9
"Sounds like the life." 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6hQxbgeDI
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxqjsCFFn2
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW3n26xb8o
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUKoofn7yI
I stared back at Axel and felt a new level of confidence take over me. My head was absolutely wrecked from the liquor and he is one smoking hot man.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakaOz3t00z
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCawmkRVlHR
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeFGAPMF9u
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfurqBExcBt
He continued to let his eyes slowly undress me layer by layer. I could feel my insides squirming like mad and my legs clenched from the uncomfortable desire building at my core.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsStu6UakUw
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCcUMC5PJf
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwxNLbKv75
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7vpiCzD63
I started to nod and slid off the stool but was suddenly stopped when a girl I've never met before came running up to us with Liam.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jmMrPZsZd
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSk5FmfuEo
"Oh my gosh, you are stunning!" She slurred out and tossed her arms around me. "I'm so glad to see another girl in the group."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDKVsMe01y
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1e5e0sRUo
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PXdrsVVTI
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwOEqsj7hj
She was breath-taking and honestly seemed a little out of Liam's league. Her eyes were bright blue which contrasted beautifully against her midnight black hair. I noticed she was dressed in just a skimpy black lingerie set and heels.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE7zfH7V0p
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv8gWjFBtK
"I'm sorry! I'm Liam's girlfriend, Maria, it's so nice to meet you. The boys mentioned you a few times, but I just never have a chance to go to the actual manor." She gushed and looked up at Liam with a girly grin.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4f8fcuZyR
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLFPqomTXj
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPeBpmpTub
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16iCdySyZz
She nodded eagerly. "I do! All of us girls that dance here are directly employed through him. Are you not one of his girls? I haven't seen you here so I wasn't-"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsqmfupcDt
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb2iFpysb8
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFrQTe5wbT
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKU7P1Dmsc
Maria looked over at him and the girly grin disappeared immediately. I looked curiously between the two of them as the intense staredown continued before she dropped the topic.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xfuaqzekV
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUNAEx7NsJ
"Anyways, it is a pleasure to meet you! If you ever want to dance, feel free to join us. The money is great and the men would love you." She said and reached out to hug me again.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KQ0QwWQW4
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JpsMUIwlC
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMCjD6TtzY
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeYk87Yltv
We watched as she walked back towards the stage with Liam. The boys were all still crowded around the same spot as before, drooling over the girls who decided to give them a sliver of attention.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUTzesNFrw
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Gz6pXGbY
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61MixlOUKH
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGNA3tJTxL
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeGQcEqiFd
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJsnDpQMbT
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1O2anojRP
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtlJbP4vKy
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBiaxJpoPx
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPKKmFW2dM
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaCdem1erY
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS5Zag9Dwi
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYobeaj3Svl
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAPSyydGVe
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXTQeybCVx
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV0AG4TW51
He stopped me. "Some of them have been around for a while, but not staying with Kalon. There are a lot of people involved in this, Quinn. More than your little mind could comprehend."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCzjpLMUNM
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gn7j1SwVn
"Try me.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwevcAfBbl
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwbMvUcIjv
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAXWlLqz2f
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoSHD9GlXh
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0AwvVZvQa
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITw7QMhzP3
I spun around on my chair to see the boys were waving me down and pointing to the stage. Apparently, they were inviting anyone who wanted to dance onto the stage and I, of course, was nominated considering I was the only girl that wasn't a stripper.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTENEEKGwF
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluSYZiUZwI
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeGqeSPwWT
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGFDCGLsX0
Finn rushed up to me and hooked me by the arm. "Please! Maria is up there and she just will not shut up about you."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5V1RkZZDi
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVbyHi0sNJ
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyQmlUZxJv
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOegy1xQq1z
He looked me up and down a little too long before a weird-ass smile crept across his face. "You got this, Quinn! I know you are always down for something fun."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JinjgHFWy
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEekPazhjKQ
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ07yzIZkuP
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mmYZHjxAW
I walked up to the stage where Maria was dancing wildly all over the stage to some pop music with about five other, half-naked girls. They all looked to be completely hammered and the men were just eating them up.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe8tnkuYRX
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv87lTk3r1p
Maria pulled me up onto the stage next to her and placed her hands on my hips as we ground together. I could hear the guys around us hollering and shouting out nasty remarks to us as we continued to move together. The strobe lights danced on our skin and lit up the stage around us in bright flashes.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhVhJzWrOm
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjyk8MTCLM
I could barely focus on her face or keep my balance, but it felt so right to be moving and every part of my being was alive.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAvAMHRXje
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ525KCS26Q8
"Take it off, baby!"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs8qv7qksu
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvnFKZtKDn
Maria giggled and griped the pole next to us before twirling around it with one leg and dropping to the floor in a full split.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGGfWZGLqQ
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTES9i1Su55
I grabbed the pole above her and did my best to sway around the pole as seductively as I could manage. She slid up between my arms and moved her body against mine slowly as the two of us synchronized our movements.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWkdno1kIw
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1sWRlg5ns
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL0bYQbX1p
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZainV26INv
I peered out into the dark crowd and realized Axel was the one who was shouting at me now. Even in the poor light, I could easily make out the sly-ass grin playing on his face.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnuEtbOXoT
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEbbJssdJJ
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tvi3GOVYi
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xsflW9uzJ
I felt myself start to stumble to the side before Maria helped pull it the rest of the way off and tossed it to the side. The two of us giggled together and started to dance around the pole again.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhCCAzbMqC
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb44t9sHMgB
It felt so weird actually stripping in front of so many people down to just my bra and panties. My mind was screaming at me to stop, but another part of me felt so fucking exhilarated.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1blfsiSOJN
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS73M5a2DI
Maria moved to the floor and started crawling along the stage to collect bills. I decided this would be a good time to really go all in and twirled around the pole again before reaching back to unfasten my bra.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ovnaX2Mzz
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR9jamMSa8
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdYM5wAfGn
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOlsXYrdoT
*BANG* *BANG* 297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENrFUlQbIG
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVneKz3psvF
Everyone started to scream as the sound of gunfire sounded loudly throughout the club. Chaos erupted as the girls on the stage started to run towards a backdoor and several people around us were already pulling out guns of their own.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ssfFusVbK
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJgDf0q8Ui
"Turn the fucking music off now!"297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81TrBXfeND
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv1WpBedvg
My heart stopped when I heard his voice boom over the music. Everybody stopped moving immediately. The lights turned all the way back on and I felt him staring me down before I even found him charging at me.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4jCbAHh5b
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm59GWb5luc
"Hey man, li-" Axel started but Kalon pushed him roughly to the side. His steel-grey eyes were locked on me and he looked furious.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5moaUmFeLr
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6SxEMWy6W
I grabbed my dress off the floor and tried to pull it over my head just as I felt his hand grab me by the arm and yank me off the stage.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfL8INj6hJ
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcaueayKQB
"Get dressed now," He snapped roughly and shoved me into a booth. "The club is closed. Everyone needs to be out of here in ten minutes."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj05TidOez5
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVPHNGRF24
Nobody said a word or even dared to argue with him. I pulled my dress back onto my body and watched in silence as everyone started to exit as quickly as they could before Kalon decided to fire off any additional bullets.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRszaBXffKt
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7q3E882DP
I looked up at him and held my breath. Kalon looked down at me with rage very clear on his features. He looked so beautiful but was the scariest I had ever seen him.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6q8R9ylpK
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEy99Qc0U4
"Get up and go."297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5ANkGpsMv
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSUKlbWqrz
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns7u1XPO6m
297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEzsPuE1oQ
I'm so fucking dead.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeQ2O9iYIe
