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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbxdeo8c55
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORpk1krYq2
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2GVbvH4TP
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIplzbMMtyo
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0rjzjP2RR
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6ulVVCVss
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqwWFOP9c3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzIl2F6wWL
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAelI9H60l
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxnpjpEOmj
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SZuAPeaqz
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAFHqWD6Lm
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZRhxiiCvO
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWkNzIVPZS
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZRTdpuHaj
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnnXU59iQF
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D1F80QF85
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNYDgFcY0i
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C8vSCyAnY
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFni8gc4HPC
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70tzdOB0i6
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyzSvTcyZ0
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPaoQPmx5V
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr3g6qN6wU
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ200tSjDzyg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXPpx2rv1t
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lZU1Ui9i6
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHpUAWj7Cg
"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?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmgBvTeoX2
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIRt6vWWY9
"Okay, mom."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvCeyd1ZQb
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rvFnDLp1b
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtSk6RYTDm
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyjAIo2J6f
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6AYqzP1Nc
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoicI4xibo
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCDIMTQphK
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11xA6dj58Y
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxauqX2MIo
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVpG0UowTX
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodalq5GUfw
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk4uqWqByv
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYgcL4Q92k
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ1R4IRMJt
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp9Bh9oylu
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdk882nCqa
"Sorry."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49yCm9cT2i
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhMHW1ZBRe
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFluyEZwpRT
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgIT7ra7rv
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycLQHdBUCr
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmDkKdI866
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlU3fS8otL
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLfNFOjz2B
"I'm not that bad looking."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiTuYzrlTh
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWn9TPNe6M
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. 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ufLyIWEXP
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxIJIKZ8Sk
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGRGzx69AX
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIyIm5NKGE
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXjVTPcOeD
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP2MuropyB
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3hHRsGYdy
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qfl2yD6RZ
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbmK2zO8B3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBycj9bXAxj
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F9kIwBWiC
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr25v3ORq8d
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9c21QyAFe
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYABL1a0bCg
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVoOf0gT8l
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqrSTORb4N
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxLpjHgPVr
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzt5x54pT5
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IUZS4eaLt
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCbghnlT8N
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy9Sw1tbi3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUeYhsRoUr
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhLdG3gj2R
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp9fO5aREK
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY4LtgMAOZ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36oYDgnv4Y
"I don't want to get into it."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx21QEQyLJb
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63TMpRTIbP
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSEALjZXX4
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodUGXUNBam
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg1zrBuT8b
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzKXBYLsrr
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv1z6TyIFh
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrGhcvY2lA
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4RXKAGX8U
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ004bOZU8r4
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE1Fkl61Fk
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALCkelh5rV
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DzNcTYTn6
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENrlLxuozE
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y07dqDvfg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOjWpmY9Eo
"What's going on, Quinn?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wBjgz4rf3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpH6kXD4TC
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfbIfyCR8w
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyG9vMVwuY
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZXI3EtuiX
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kQlFM6Zq2
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaB85Q90Jl
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW1WB70tm3
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISfdLcVpJp
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0nG5fCQM1
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BaqLopwzL
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJwMRHq94h
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1AG8Ub39T
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZsnJsR72W
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz3PFzFd9l
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YfEoa0IXj
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtYY6wuhPW
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96EFZwPpeU
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoo0U86OYb
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvaVcoCZwS
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzddu87vTJ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqSKdepsbH
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzHrNyJOE8
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5c8tf3ceu
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5LPhGQtcK
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnols4nrqh
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH4p9NpwLb
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhzzzpJgFX
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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LtIhwgUQa
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyBlKHS7Kl
"He's here?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoBdAZxS8Y
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtSdFnAX40
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaYHqcuVLX
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF1Mz0aK8P
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifZnGkYout
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW9ODfAoBu
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAuB1a3lO7
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVOpm9o0A4
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNxfU8Ivhp
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oazt7rR80
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinrZlPGSSn
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQdFTWpVi9
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFmdUmT9CX
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7UC92Dc4J
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeMP9ZxX5c
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjtfxebgKA
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvIHxR0o51
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyeJlKSYqq
_272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N6rtpOJ4s

"Keep up, Quinn!"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuUB4Ityjb
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY692pxzah
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSWqD7z7SY
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwFJ97wWzz
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwEAXH7ist
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjymkcenrX
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMBguCtNp9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3JTGayXCD
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer2KmVhG17
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz6wXwnJYH
"Dick!"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISMApEWgCO
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKUIwBNsXs
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvloLXo88HL
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CnPQw64Rk
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrzFhiIk3F
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyCRf7VuB1
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjnV5ajj6a
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1WqVE6R0h
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriA2NnzeS1
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdZl9fcwPt
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj7CxBjuRc
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IB0fI0NWC
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. 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QuYWbdu6x
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6dcUy99JS
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYJmmHtM1g
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKvoSjETY5
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBaZH8rMfB
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniH01vkVH2
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrQ4arJsCD
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzW3UuulA0
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMncBhMdDM7
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDTKDRFGYK
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24yQsXm18A
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ3gVPzTPC
"You could say that."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNzGkIFe03
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbChv72GK6
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx6hVYAwrP
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBllFYN26y
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaqgbwBSYG
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJkh86K50y
"Me too."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZsqKRKUzS
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizO89uUSJM
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wa320qVOH
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjhRPb5ryy
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFbwNSsAeg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKphzccYfo
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI92CrYody
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCm4WG4OWt
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHtVqbTKW5
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuJDuDHXkv
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8N7GF6Ejt
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVRjOAN35P
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq4Y2TyieN
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p9GrmI7uG
"Money laundering?" I laughed.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknIl54MohS
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSF0ShLwO4
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd98s0g0B9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvjYcsrv67
"Seems like a lot to handle."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDDGi20XE6
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldAeNnVcsd
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH93vz1YGU
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcajOFxqE4
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmcrHwCdkb
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9VSXYhrT2
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUqenGhzuX
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKvFgj9RK9
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2EEXCsW6o
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgbiyiX9n6
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GWtn7i6bH
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWPpUu07LZ
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCf4Slunx8
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGJWDbbKRw
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvfmqhFouw
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lVpC3dFK6
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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUws4NOu4C
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2lqQD9asZ
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62HkMgLSMZ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LBj5Y2ZxS
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKbQQt8jnM
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbW9zkOZjA
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrn1inOuT4
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEGFfhz0Yp
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblTiZMCG8Z
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXLCeZYvYj
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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbupsfmrWN8
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmUiQYjKYx
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxgJqzuPq6
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXBeudedXT
"Are the two of you close?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CiQb87zex
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9a8FggM6y
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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6NZ5PzINK
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG2hEOX3OY
"What about you?" 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedkdDnaQz6
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzJEYR5IeI
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XxO8XUX8K
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBGRPkSGp4
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfFM7TLnAB
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ZQjuD7WR
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6vXThYm8U
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b9ZIrkb9u
"Sounds like the life." 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcWSE4IxqL
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy0sbz0seH
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06z87c8D4l
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWX0xLMWia
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxfcCIT4AP
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4G6qTaEPT
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZPjY6p3pF
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ViZ98lYN
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakucqKvU0l
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBjmPDssKG
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSKvNJygUn
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ih9OB7IIg
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMiA0ZqKhe
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKfp1XsK84
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSpbnbdItD
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dDGbiVUAf
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6l9r4yzzf
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxDvpW5Pgw
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8KsChX4X1
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVMoMVA5UD
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr9wW58PIJ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMQlZR1kN3
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwQvLFSDNy
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabngQ423nV
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-"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Yc0w1lBR
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ8IvH25m2
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v9tzXBVZ8
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5VwI9FaNw
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SNJLfQS8l
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qBHOhZGC2
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbjbG9MRgg
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr9Q0h8gcJ
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAv63gChnp
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nuRzBzxXu
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndPcLIg3FE
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBgpZPr8aP
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL9CO5fPti
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0dg9LDebD
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUm9eKSBAM
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv8Xfja2oB
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMeqKiTR6r
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhWi8k5wvp
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFilwjq2xx
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ag9MzUzr0
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2B1EFOPj3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa49RAFsPI
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KqbSrSCyZ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwzZvFoWr5
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeh5YkQH1m
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeSmKmfIbo
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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLH2Vcz2TM
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIOKAoOWe2
"Try me.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCVJbe54LI
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwLf0An0Vs
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2HpbjBTpT
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKzLFrqudO
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyI9WWsXrA
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadoDB8v4xi
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LuvrOQiXH
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP86O3G45Cm
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67hgOI9mDc
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KkYu2GrJW
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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQodPJgk1eb
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJfeKVXLXb
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPu6sJwuIE
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTx9eNdUKf
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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrtDe3m8rP
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfQRJJRaXM
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9D5HdqfZh
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpHFGkoBoN
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKAhUBqt2S
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetxIbvm5e1
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrYsfN1gUi
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5SeQslqUk
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIVRGFYB4e
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TVTh04T88
"Take it off, baby!"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TND9gfa9X
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCIgJGCzZk
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ449TxWYV4N
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mpMjzbSBG
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oVpLTASzq
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROI80BCGUX
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KW3wygIZS
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRySI7cMblr
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH3ZzziPV6
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C30Rmkp4i
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggaPQLViiW
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI20veFVSz
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6GJkDCseN
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMet5oX2Voe
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ641clLJ3jT
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1han210RE4
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl2o1fvLkc
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V6FMvLBmE
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsWY0OKd7d
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAqIwfO05w
*BANG* *BANG* 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1IYa8SqWo
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxIGlREq2y
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYA3t01ian
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dHMU73IUB
"Turn the fucking music off now!"272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk7SJIV1CK
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JBkQ6IxxR
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1psl1zUO2I
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29lL1BQTd2
"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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJnnd1Hme5
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXSDczVYNF
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJjzV9VOJ9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJCAA87TYB
"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."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNTW8T3fms
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Ooe8uqxR
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQKvWPVc1e
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJD3u8EctR
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.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAfhArYTW3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH70VT4IshD
"Get up and go."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTpkklnxPC
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg7e0R7Kp7
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEzjRcovoW
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfGqYO9dZy
I'm so fucking dead.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrnJ2u7axW
