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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPrqVAcSGX
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvge5L5bApj
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsoGMIkD8f
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHsPWmB3fH
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxUeCnMVu3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKqiXnJjs8
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FNcy8ft52
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZgdy3IdfH
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalqkh6cRan
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MeeHG6iM2
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhINXLHThqw
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA8zG0mKcf
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCC6nm6fXV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDXfJLRJHu
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oyEtiQH9T
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ8lN9EOI3
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzagXvsJ02P
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQkwlfjilq
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywjGm8cxh7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjAT5y0ElR
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGmYM0ph22
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE1EGA3xPG
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76H8EqwlnO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0TtF0vlGd
"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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBG9F86QU9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVwQHNWpx0
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFdYY4x5bT
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzdcxQ9Rlx
"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?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgZahk0Vii
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SddeE0uw9
"Okay, mom."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIaGkiCsSi
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvdHMcxlQj
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJAHwD3AsV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87BE9lrOkd
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPSYn4vWCc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJsYKe9ZMJ
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnomP3Qh87
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpm1S9Qlyl
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr19NUwM0oT
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ztB6D7tHQ
"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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg896HABLV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AeA07yjeB
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYJ0J4SJhQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPmRP0oZkT
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIa8FtUmr7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHrGc0I2oE
"Sorry."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfCs5l6bQ9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxGtmQ9Luz
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYxlELBxes
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmLXNNynnk
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW2sT19JYl
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPXcwrWdhq
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hx9OPBOxW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnovHJ5zbcI
"I'm not that bad looking."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90yi4Y6BwF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxNp3deDRr
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. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MbsLdOiB4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURIWkizkQH
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5O9iWLTpK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOKlh11qTq
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL6JDjsdpJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb8krsJO2W
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVpqceG53e
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiVJ5e2xDY
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9kUlMdHqW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrD6c2K8Ib
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FftPFjkL4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknUhNFuHEF
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSRWVXv5Sa
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT24uYGPTf
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTJWOYfhxa
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaer2VmsmN
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3tm7gIDD4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiShk5z8Gp
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgjMaVWVK5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPknNPvmKe
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD0uu8BV5N
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqiiPfxVdB
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlmckynebF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ303YrdzY6j
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D0bDGL3EJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mWKxXe23X
"I don't want to get into it."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjBR6jI903
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF76wil7Ss
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1XG0fogpk
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQEjs2nPij
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PrDfp2EvJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbvmMh4HHX
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEVhd4FvbH
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9U2yPJxMs
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5eP8c4Yk2
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnuinYtT23
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszePa8jA5H
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP5LBIq5a9
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZvSdqwJUR
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vPEIUvBap
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOUm5uxxxp
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8imQqrm4Q
"What's going on, Quinn?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuucqguCEY5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEdBLnzjtc
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyOHChIeSn
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbqw7a1Ztz
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVogZEw3Dpp
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF8kSUXcDM
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisPR3GSFZA
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyTrDpS077
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBanxgd0CW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbd8kOl4yG
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfNnExppWH
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOHO3LCxd9
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqX7GtxSzQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VzPk4VfOR
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZg8pcLUk1
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGGDDlO2aK
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDglD7cvwK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDRgDeVvcS
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kGflp1GOV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8l6XRFLpc
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGEHxv5JlY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNZ1lQ7e5Z
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a9uMNya4M
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqVBOf1yhm
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9ZXimZQN5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCICx6Xo5m
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAJ6a5hQhf
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJNr35EG20
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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzap8tSjQM
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDqKXi902H
"He's here?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaQQYPmvWp
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytOtdUk616
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaClXGC0T9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsnBygiotQ
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgNrGEik0j
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PxwvgcqEw
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vmzNpIVE2
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi7O1lVabd
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlZsttJAaF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNTt84xNGF
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXaz8VmnLz
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsSbPNFTcf
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqEgbvG7bv
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1TcTsIeRA
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXpYPyWLkG
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDPpLRuxio
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx09G5iQdy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO5MHadUKk
_299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMbgfoe1c0
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDxO5JqkEK
"Keep up, Quinn!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9I8veJ5mR
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF1CJLao15
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGrVCP98GK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wdVEKOXoA
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD4erJq5pf
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVam8FvYgD
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHZ5Pjcc95
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOibbe9rcnJ
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwzP2dmDvt
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJV7hCG0nd
"Dick!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4JoFO5DSi
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRZ5DOqb2N
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjzIVuooYi
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9U7fhwZYD
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvzhJmjESc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl4hrg05f8
"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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PdGx9gTg4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjMfUrvEH6
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdZr8YnsAU
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7cWufMEdT
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmhJiFq8Rk
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Crcqh5Kr
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. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2DNHgX83m
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pvgm5jQC8
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2N807XMZj
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZqLUeVrl4
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4kg9kV8ig
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrvnORjCaN
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk95o1h1fpo
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInQcKJldjl
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK2ZA0hnxc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWjCOkaEso
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF24G6Fu82
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmm3UFiZwC
"You could say that."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnsKJvqMbX
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLUT3Lywn1
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4SFZV9lf4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvj7o2CIqn
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPysBkq4O6
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdhItuKJ2r
"Me too."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tDo4JQJgT
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hJLHWL5q8
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf5NV59Uwf
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwkMB6zB0u
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOALrK7XhX
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR3mBYD9gJ
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqvDxLaPH9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT6cuXx5PG
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNWTahM2y8
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvLkP90ipZ
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr4Twsxokj
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMHdlQcXjR
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFtugicNwn
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxY0Kmfbq5
"Money laundering?" I laughed.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogNHImCxzm
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUP5CMRuQX
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgndJ8JSvXx
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87aBqtSdS9
"Seems like a lot to handle."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwXUl1mt2k
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5m94HJtCZ
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ725wHW6h4D
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8oNw89cB7
"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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8qXX4HeFu
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi4PCah53X
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNpoXZqFdx
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbblB7JXKVR
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gpi6d2RTy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPJSeenSfP
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUca45c8Px
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmGIt8jhi0
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT28nLJgPl3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LumhDAQdl
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59DuB3aFIg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY54Gs7FDtk
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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFM7QUpowf
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK14f5lLV04
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXS2tK2ANv
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOIzgtQOAf
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyilQIf7TT
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx8g9I4Q9t
"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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XKKxWL2ZG
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoPpBr1bbI
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgWrM5IL5w
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZosuJSP3t
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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4djgYHSTOJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprUSSIZbHq
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NROCwKEyH
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRhecBmA2F
"Are the two of you close?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vEknTYhH7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnelkMDCX9G
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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsatpOqb8Pa
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaTAKR0dP0
"What about you?" 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnHQ5MfihG
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDUowoJXGF
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfwhCj5J8V
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8QJsbzVqk
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmyvtp1Ao7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTSTOZHFwx
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5RwXuj5N4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQpe8LhcNL
"Sounds like the life." 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84xfPZpFOE
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVPKVQ2pEu
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIFEs8TMzY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AAYnAd34N
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxs19VeWHg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX1M9LFWzg
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DoTZHrPdy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2AAB2qbnk
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMgMqWygcK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjiTDzbEoc
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopu8QIZKqS
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwEZSQrd8q
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gjvdLIGtT
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdMHCt2iMP
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDNCIOazF9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIbxwvWoEM
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q2KXA72L3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrkay5UH8M
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZK4cWCYXF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMMKuSXEb4
"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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DCyNamH7V
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcU7sT9MMe
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadBShmdjgg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThtYYqV8Vq
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-"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgFTWZfatf
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhVLudsNed
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiygPCGZKBe
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBRbEuhPGO
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3mCwjuztY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjzzIJov6d
"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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8RN6VYk1L
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmNZWPAbyT
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrGbo3S1Zo
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQIuaL8Qfw
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO2Iii4Mij
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPaiflhSQl
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplTl5O2tZC
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6t7eDfang
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqDPGXdSEw
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyVjiB16Vc
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmb5y85Ir0
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTBMojQeH5
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfyE9qhQfm
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY4ek85NE8
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS5gbFCK5N
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mZsNDrpCk
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEjTDpGbF8
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBwSqVtD0r
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfptZ7MBzPO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcdJyMxOQe
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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3C6Xx5gMe
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfTSR3bGu8
"Try me.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvDHoE2HFA
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E2gWlDeej
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImWPGWAmbc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1XKrAI832
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1f7iFXFhP
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNmOTDF736
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL8sJQ3DiH
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltOQFodGDN
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuQmlGFsAr
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pVwFqMKUo
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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6FlxVV5UD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYjAEskD0r
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlADFMbaf61
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VaQ6qwCMq
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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsOdH8368W
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMes1BKlrF1
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKMK2axfzZ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe3NM4GYps
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROqV8rtxR3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oXZX2hJQj
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pqPhlxQyq
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNr94uwtNQ
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq2eEx6Qsd
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqfgx1SqqJ
"Take it off, baby!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9A7hieXDX
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzKGAzQaMy
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhje7EXO3D
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN06lxRChJo
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y2ewGh7xx
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXvlAx5INu
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK6aH73JtJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G4ZILSQpA
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelK9Ng4uFM
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOPy8Gycpm
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56tvDiSyjF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbkHZWvIxb
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84O9PzRc4B
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdMIiaDQh7
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqq5KTMb2i
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPDzEHq317
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRJgwNgzAL
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwbc9tUYSZ
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEQ0DrQktD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1DYiLsNKA
*BANG* *BANG* 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuisEZTPFL
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECo0DejnvM
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyY7wT94EL
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FEF5Kmtz1
"Turn the fucking music off now!"299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfVei1XPPI
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE7jMUncla
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAENtwvtSvp
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLKeZ6pArT
"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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpc2N56tne
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrvjQEcsKF
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dcMaixFf9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3R0KnuLcJ
"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."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkldxfbg40
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcBG0MWTZg
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj2h1x5HYB
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6JsiJYjLp
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.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUubhA1dFGO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqG3scAzVx
"Get up and go."299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnABOOdHUJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nFxDbirMO
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfv7QkOpIJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPZUnQ6pON
I'm so fucking dead.299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklurWLk9Ja
