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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOWvmhlrrh
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDoqOhDPWK
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ0rO5AIpP
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncwOB25Shv
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IpfpgaqyV
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuzhIoEr91
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWb29HxnCx
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxxSsWA2mU
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfzQfaO9Wv
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2WYz6Q5kC
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthxFE6TTsb
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc4SXue8Hf
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPCNAY7Zu9
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sPSZexzZG
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOovEb89e8
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1zdOv9VEw
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvklscZ220a
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6J2Q7GC5y
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQynujzKnA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9QvR2vzfr
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P5B30Dw34
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQcC1NAVhg
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9GnIVyc3K
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDGVIJ6PRw
"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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn9w62KNUy
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO74qvJZ1ev
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LFnvj9grX
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvbKFofDDL
"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?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP6F5HpHOX
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNibK72KyUb
"Okay, mom."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCBRO8zMj3
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0jrg2IgX9
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5d0J5vpAj
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamycfZ7237
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPeM73CO9A
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFVUMKLDor
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiUF0fnK9r
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0eKaukTN1
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPMaoI8BYb
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5e1ZajqdZ
"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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpOQrxy4fg
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UpSADGfyw
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYZRAE37lE
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKPmccT5bo
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4bYSNcSL2
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstHlIxvzkn
"Sorry."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyLP3duE4v
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKSboMpQqe
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd7GCpXcyP
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEseF4VmCLR
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ8KeooLZU
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojEIbPuqtc
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IkZ3zu7PI
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXZsWDPmWh
"I'm not that bad looking."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvXQcY7fXA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrtMbhVC7b
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. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxtMBjPEoz
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKycoMwXQOK
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLfgbmnLkn
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrrlpAVU5r
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoQIONQ1KX
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MoluEg6Hb
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgq26X6MhS
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZASk8BTl0N
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCma8L2ewr5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwJrV8PTpe
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SlrtYS0WT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS6k99O6R4
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrk8V3tkXs
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxMIegrPGE
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IQDgb12O8
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOBu2F4Y4p
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMAgW2dOiY
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSOHFx1HxA
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5gxdGeGAw
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKSBCoMsdf
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtCl0GaLwK
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZxzflXGF6
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0blMh3tRd5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ9rFunjeV
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnqRIh5Qz5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDg2rIOlBv
"I don't want to get into it."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdnClgTo26
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfslbb9Rca
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaZ2Ztpyam
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8URGktGxJu
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki5uMif9rf
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbASyWMGt5q
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD83wdyrN2
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6VnJJfTTj
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZnasi6I0L
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUipndkJoDB
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf9m2gt3Vc
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAxqqwoJRH
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSPKS7YE0W
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxJSnjVRdM
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVmDSEONjE
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtoCVjttmQ
"What's going on, Quinn?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zw5Rj6nzF
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2irhmofVVy
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2euWzhs8iJ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LlJxnquxj
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCoQPjje3G
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXa1FF8HWI
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXkCIvktMK
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tq6hdSpIm
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uzNGZvabT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C3PgiE0A3
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyda2UDjT7
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvX775fnHV
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1fFVYPNRW
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq1rkz4MNB
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLDNLL5FYN
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZkE2xc3nm
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4xtC7e2G4
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n0pGKmkd4
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBjgfDweTP
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGNVujyaHQ
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ44gngyEM
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxPpYeW1Jw
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoufxkqFYT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLiZm27FOF
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PIgeSFHHP
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5pUHMlxmh
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYBx8GPsUi
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S9Lgs7df3
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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AbjjdJwBn
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKLFy1zv6d
"He's here?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdFBiWZogA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsqls0CGG6
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Z75B9mKA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm78qB4bQ2N
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2osO2HXhlq
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAMPKmmFA8
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPOgiuH7f5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ZFelRnSn
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPK0s6VB87
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua6YVBoadP
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RiVqV0A0y
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD8XDrGdh5
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuECWivNWmu
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIXjvEsTOK
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXStuJCqGp
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQwoXNQpbx
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7MPON2WUi
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgxhl0eiJt
_309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjROF6zZOn
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOoWkvWDtS
"Keep up, Quinn!"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr9bsf2kx2
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHYXIpsLGc
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VuWkIMXEU
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkFdLyhPdA
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5szLfte0Z
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSzoIdRHRW
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlPLd4G0dn
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtP1OpIdji
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrtXPdWJJX
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGtGCjBjIu
"Dick!"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHMUcZ8vH0
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzRT6hkwGM
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEaCFTx6m8
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDH4CVeWug
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwyLAGn4cT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lCu8VRG5B
"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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTHbEABpj9
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUQoQWiLcN
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivlbRw1c4P
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv26eht6Tb
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYuTerse0a
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg6lTjDLKY
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. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxWLmYvPif
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpngSJjVJjg
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmUzgMNq0P
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHiSRE7P1q
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh17bx1qWc
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16uT4pOY2i
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamCfQaCmqa
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh5OPK5gya
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvEupCZ5JQ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh1kusGiBB
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA1f0IdYbz
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTCEkrNu9N
"You could say that."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88X9b08PkH
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94txaCGNX4
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jaKbG4RzI
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVjgRkt3TF
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIntOZE5xg
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9lJvcb5OV
"Me too."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEXLcol33O
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRom9HCfYJ
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJhAI8lzOZ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBiDNz0Fwo
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK6PKoGfXv
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XKJtXojsj
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8mn4L4oNi
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmbdrRh8Ui
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c8by5Yux6
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgfA8PVqOw
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxXiJlAvVD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLYtjRdTCG
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIkqoTBsIN
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0oKL9qMIr
"Money laundering?" I laughed.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD8aRLDB28
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn2LRnnSCW
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrRP68VbEk
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdidizjkyhm
"Seems like a lot to handle."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDNGANnbmH
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4getUi3Zu
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw92HgTIEG
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlRxOhHBcX
"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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKqF9ebxv5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTxJunbm2e
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJXAecfim5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHoEleAP93
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KW1OoXHUh
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqvlvxsYSf
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLB1YVFVEa
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj38LIWRMQ
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZFyv5LC79
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCKPLuR8kY
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdwSAvc04W
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9dZxtuwFh
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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEtO8lDkbu
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvXcUsqhh8
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr9kOA83I4
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW16dxS1gfW
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2UmN5xyXd
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGq76QvC7Z
"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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfCXqSp5b2
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ856x05bekg
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KpfjiyhYw
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y0SgZHeT3
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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJcBK6nlgI
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu1939wkuA
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLdfUSw4Vk

"Are the two of you close?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkeZ6GUxQG
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc3vfFgpLh
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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ35GM7AUa
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xEOl22oBe
"What about you?" 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5kge1lAoU
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVIzxT5vql
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMgRwOLjLu
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPBToQpyOv
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhf2FKkBbl
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCHRc1Isvr
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6idzfsDWLd
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhJeL67xsJ
"Sounds like the life." 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBltpu7jGG
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5QmsiKoQp
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCuchGPMmB
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkiEBVmRnw
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZXvBMO6rt
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRyVHlEr32
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAe9wFtBOy
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoGfDrPIuE
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMSeCX18rq
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiLiahi53z
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ztWOTLOir
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz5s4dG8aK
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIbWEd8SkN
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVPHCEwJUa
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l59cLI0Hw
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NvmTjT9F8
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBK4R4IV8T
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfFs21GCgC
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE9uqjRZsh
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl3XVuRAnt
"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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS7dfWay0r
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklZvMTf2cO
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjahV7Ft98m
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejeebljpdY
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-"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjnt9EqUPy
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyPR3jyQ5k
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVaGfbDxm4
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ZxWMHkME
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f8Io3OXzc
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnryKqGKVC
"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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrajLYnVZY
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6PPo5JSAL
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz29QzYkT7z
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK2UYRQzpH
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOXKyK7LLh
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6XaaMdiav
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQwOBoOk8E
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW0tOKQrYO
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGbaCN0Ic0
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY260mQ0T9t
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOYN9gQwtH
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyGcuD35BG
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44jOBrqi7Q
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGMPucErD9
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFrmbTsfB2
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpgS8pQGnG
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0pP4CTTBB
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjBN8rAcxY
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVmqjFUPNk
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gkW8oEn23
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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcMhf0yb9b
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3yAQLOxXq
"Try me.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDdYaTAdyd
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1MadXvjCn
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3KiZypnsc
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzLQ6F8qXR
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNnLt362K4
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YCVIfFB2e
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wdjxmYUo7
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlgO5wfrQI
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHWoMaVtBS
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPBmMe2tZh
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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAevTefubM
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6SRnjhTQV
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUidi3syTQ7
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7htT7J0rH
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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFD15mSxUc
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n9YrggRlm
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBUQXntAEW
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm95mRontyf
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13m3JqUz8l
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzn1c0DSK7
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQTzruQULA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qWV8ZuzWM
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWalMnABQBT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun7ExVB3os
"Take it off, baby!"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ITdK6dQIt
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcNJrnGk4T
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpAfh8trGN
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYynv8r6P12
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdf2ueqEgT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcBDXQoSAn
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQTPoql5SD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBRAwaHSxg
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfUfvPOndO
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dfXDDN7Qz
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhhKddHSEF
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPTIllt3bu
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMzsS9qvdB
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYz4GGo3hi
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4pHi9fdei
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocSo5hSSQ3
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2maTIrfiM
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaBCamMz2f
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHRFCoJGOG
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4fKGOkXoc
*BANG* *BANG* 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgK9ob60h5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCo2EcFGeL
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfwiIQn03N
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZLN5j8c2g
"Turn the fucking music off now!"309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8pnWqSJQ9
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u805EuTjo
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ6Jz1hMPy
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd1nJMg5NM
"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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC6czyduGV
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQco2VnXM0
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnvasYcGyJ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwSarmgcN7
"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."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQAgqhdxlk
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmjjJBOgzf
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAOZsbfgY1
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc0NzusIKZ
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.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsBpHs3Oau
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxHuFoYgCk
"Get up and go."309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06qu2Nztxd
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnUWE6Hbzk
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoOBnaOgrw
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtHcgpYl3G
I'm so fucking dead.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5CqQ4BgU6
