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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeivUe1qxo
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6HACJcORD
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX2XSEX2Jz
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUAjLwy6oQ
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v0COuNpVd
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszBOsEAfTr
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPeFufQUC8
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8kFpiVr20
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8kqR6MKSJ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxlCKiEyaW
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1epglpPbo
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ456FZi60Aw
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQODFjZYA28
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTYIzrIztW
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tMK42HmeZ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvcyNFRaVU
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ZgV30d39
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkANk53oRDG
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ0ME05pBR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIUMItSFZz
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpo1cc4lKO
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj8hWCVTci
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k6S5RyzyD
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE7HlqO3EI
"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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg7Y3xgSqt
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80xTs8TMkr
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz5iXYgirt
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AfJNzzarE
"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?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdSs7UVUm3
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTj87soVAB
"Okay, mom."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX7i7JqkhS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXDEDaVm8P
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2SeH5udlU
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx3h4N8up1
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7h1g2HpgV
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzFNadkEnB
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU9B4FaGJr
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6ccxQcpTq
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz993StRYr
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJX7kRJKs1
"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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ledIvlw4z
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDSmdns2Il
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNWUB4HIeo
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJInhmLLaz
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR619zKK4n
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZFfkh7Bkd
"Sorry."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlfVmzldNZ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6GWnrXR7F
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAiSH6dupg
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelAcPPVo5a
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCJlh1IpAK
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG9OppLX5y
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zaSYJETZL
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eJfTHrUmi
"I'm not that bad looking."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQMFsfhppp
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRqzL8O5c6
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. 335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1K9kQhfXp
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFnNHGNPnf
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPO6yW6yf7
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF4RhErNda
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4Q51VD04n
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjjpW5RSVr
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5avvb76YK8
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96DZ3RvDY3
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKyrMh3Zkq
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEkEk8SLq1
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWWR1lsoCJ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIJ6arE7vk
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OjgYHyzfS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rIQ0CcHcY
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xDclDcQZk
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRAIVbXDvh
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVnT4cFZof
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ZOQaRN9h
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBuFYcOQ1s
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ma3CSKD4P
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdm7CWSzhe
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFt3xINsoi
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg2a9WiPBq
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJQro8RWSE
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt5khZVQIH
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LezWXQ094
"I don't want to get into it."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0x1CDzzQg
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEwYYuQk3I
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB44fTmk7N
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzrqOTwTH8
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcVvoe8aqo
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfUVevY5uW
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh9yA3XldI
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2tCuKyAXT
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rPqed3kuM
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCxfGMZ5fQ
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD7Jk2XeYP
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUiS8MndcZ
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc1I0dDr6U
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNqWOyLBy5
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ5xC6Uquz
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2t3LlOm9D
"What's going on, Quinn?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgalCF8apqa
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQFJxAdDfv
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4snnGdxeMc
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKteFJNeD2
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTKh1R6lBT
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97O4dPLLdh
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXw6qhmPeB
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU8iuYWmDX
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgYQ8ApoKs
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYXCL45sAY
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gqMIfIPHO
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QkxyOKlIT
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAily7NosoX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDLiQBYSch
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMRZK4IJQn
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQAWdPGIX1
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqFSP2D0zw
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN69GSqCEZ
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3sKaE4vBN
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHmO4s2jfH
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRr0I1GVkj
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaw7F8B0eX
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7WlVaLHl5
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ylsCRUCa9
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMzKa75iJY
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4OpwZtUGn
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP0xOf5tq6
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmSolpNoNP
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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGCZmIihL9
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CTBQfVaG7
"He's here?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFXWiYXPy0
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ65vZilRGm
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8ZoCm3oEm
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcGvNsSGWu
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlqFCAsxJM
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnQ1Ehs3d8
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I7L2kLHsu
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt21IFYl984
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo40jOK1fpc
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuLcbGWbYA
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb2uynpXc6
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWahSTXrcNa
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmJjQNt8X7
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDnVp4njII
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNyUniws5E
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYXqb0ZZYz
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM66U7OxXl
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCkuGXHRYk
_335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHomftECN56
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPJuILNR7f
"Keep up, Quinn!"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJEhwYMd90
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhOyLXUY6K
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqAKQ3NybR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx24PBs1NAR
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRntQN1jYb
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p0jScrpLr
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0wR30UA4V
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj59L0XwFaC
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdmolx4O06
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPQFyqyokp
"Dick!"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4zFfAD5Fz
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzXnfqZOPX
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iY5wUOEc3
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwmlHxa45f
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw23zBRMuW
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVrcEUfAdS
"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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJDZ09dFoC
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7CGDPGhB5
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJknre3102F
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7qZBnZm9X
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg96k7UHAU
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1rUmnuVib
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. 335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4zwRtQXXw
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEKBkbRrAT
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA59tUiOjbO
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGjiueTFI9
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsoYxxkmeW
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zmfXHBzEX
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZtLG9Od72
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTrpxUf8VC
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJFe9Kad3U
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtddOxXA3WC
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeMHQ6bBTy
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxPIDWNqu9
"You could say that."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7W4X4GF82
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsTszpw27l
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn0WJv5TyV
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qCPO7QKvR
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPiiReR4IF
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaAdTfRrkJ
"Me too."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArtoTmUUD4
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuns1KSMuwc
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymCoMKILON
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIPP9rcbc6
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5U0m58KpB
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFxT9fmsAB
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1DR31DK0l
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeYkx5pQjm
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4YWYCi9Bj
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFqIqDrjmR
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aQskyIR72
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDDWekLctE
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ye0g36myZ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKcW9FmGDn
"Money laundering?" I laughed.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2r9VAdF8t
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4XHnSJTNY
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9fYurGclb
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1lhQ9JZxe
"Seems like a lot to handle."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC4NyuMTYQ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXUJRD8KEr
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtNeexttPo
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTkqvghbSU
"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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kw2xhZiMZ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EFnCzaiXY
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrY4EnT8nU
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITYO8AYVIz
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwMmeRKUd4
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNxy8IvMlJ
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAbWMG5p0r
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIyo8M6xdP
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPftmkNxvl
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mGDNTbC3C
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZE0wF2AFJ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXVCfYzAG3
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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh91fYyq5KY
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ142XM0LT6t
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgqnEGuM2W
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7AQl1Z1KP
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49gkt8vH0A
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ANJ7Qn4Lo
"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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJucuWRDGiy
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVEoqYIuit
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRzKJFwk1D
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBN2ho0Gap
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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ta0c14bZv
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF58Gc1Ws4V
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwndrBKEhw
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTz2cWYlzj
"Are the two of you close?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B5i932TlF
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmAYa7KFhj
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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJZz6HqkLx
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2gyj7K740
"What about you?" 335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcx4DAgjr1
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDjqaCrXna
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D0cuzZKyl
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt421qadimb
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70iiplhPO
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUQQJPtlto
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BN1UXwS0b
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl1MtNYNIJ
"Sounds like the life." 335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTRAVII7v4
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bD80NzQpw
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6tOnElnzj
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7f12xmfB0
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwixS5Qt0Y9
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQRyXRAsIy
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDqBDcGRlX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyyf1W3wK2
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSdda2TiQe
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ja2GxNRLZ
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti9nk32aqq
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinLdd981Wu
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Hv1swcFO
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDGwdmk9YN
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjOVyjt6Um
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPF8sD87Nf
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL6rDdVRbk
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnUhqT4rN9
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeapePyn1w
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei20w93h3P
"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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BzjEB7D7M
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3GLYWtJQu
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjNZYMzrSR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWbQnQxpDH
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-"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqUFgR92Vh
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wahw2s8xe
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlh1TshL25
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXawH1KsFK
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKYRA89drX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj4mOfqL88
"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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw9P9IMygO
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0DMAPpLHN
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct5pueuyM8
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8tkd9lLEX
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGLeg4nn66
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51IKnNI8Tl
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9GdtNDx9u
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x98UxUudm
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq6kuW8wMY
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb08xhptAFO
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu5pa7S8We
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2MZgYIxsn
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn43IefsxzN
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PS0FZy2FC
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9r5WZh2qt
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLrbXT58wA
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa8jf2U0ED
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPRl7C1qa1
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsn1ypYbva
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8arEN82FnE
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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNiqVFZj5u
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPofOz8you
"Try me.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToQXpDeCYK
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFq8Uqvgdw
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ASDbLEOri
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWPNYfsFfA
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgKrUKeCiA
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKDWJmSmr6
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XUAXNWMsr
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXovaFOqEm1
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9RgjwLlrE
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb370gnX3NA
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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IN3TXRPKd
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh6QZZWFBj
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzsafGBM5Q
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nJRWne2TC
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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LwRj8556D
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fUd1SH6NA
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kOzQnL0u7
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrw6HQWttI
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMGowLGasW
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXn09tF8WN
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq1l2THkTv
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv89SYOQjTy
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpOzOO9y69
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrPo6VbiEH
"Take it off, baby!"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRjJW09Lwa
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGaVJV86oc
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OwEnLGiVc
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QNhCFcItv
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IWasB8s3z
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPMyQNgS6E
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUlDzkPXRg
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3DvObFA7p
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxbLA3YV8p
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyo1TqpSRl
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAWqygP0Sn
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVrynlVNWy
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZwLufmQkg
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAGhVT9y8Z
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7kCn3Y9yg
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGWhx7MK7e
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu1pTW6c2r
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3n8TLiGZo
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVpv4ZO3ro
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmBht3JuIf
*BANG* *BANG* 335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOW3Xye3e6
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTGSxN5K9J
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW95hEejMZb
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMoc4haazO
"Turn the fucking music off now!"335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KcdPlppH1
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAj8H3KRqh
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABWtZZtm7m
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm2reh8PIk
"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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65odjcdbUN
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9oRAHUvRT
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphmccZ8H3A
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSXcQDb025
"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."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0viN6QFZ6
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirb3kKHzyw
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmIYeeHz5f
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY4s34qVX0
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.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE2bV6uwWY
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0miirwRpK
"Get up and go."335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YjwanmhXm
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5CUIFAuKR
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMCp8YYzS9
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPOokaXUDy
I'm so fucking dead.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGcxhahcNL
