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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WBYyVbhtG
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTNoK0DWLS
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gdyAQ0XL5
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kJilikVoA
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcdORzSyhj
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesz2N6QY5s
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jGyJ5aGkz
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I0wYsNtwJ
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GExl5URYr
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26iz93QM2A
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KxzLtrNRY
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWxt4OXZcJ
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROmcgBaYio
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WXgme34sf
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQiy0R4WoS
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uvkFh24GX
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaYFQSZX6I
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeqQONNKTM
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEIflKAejh
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDyyzJS76o
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZC0iPio8h
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliAXA9AAfX
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8jE7DjUKn
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzvIQjTKYg
"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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D0mJzb028
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcnFkycP5Z
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwX5NC0rHu
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLST135O0sO
"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?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D8iBxgWFw
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbC92UACKr
"Okay, mom."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ103XCpkKux
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7W7CYIp7H
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RjbZwKVWU
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdmAK3Q1Gl
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXcurlvqTI
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtizW43YtSe
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5wLrwVV62
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVGFhlTATa
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX5f8YXS9d
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHghDKFeCt
"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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4lFWlFF2P
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLBPOsr8q3
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHoDqwJTde
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzsEa5eOUm
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zrzttFMES
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk53U2DTl0
"Sorry."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQtEsZXhrg
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG4oc5tYeZ
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9xqD3EMsE
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyugDvXqqd
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvdAk0tlxZ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs67rIRQip
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzwVSLztv3
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq5pdQJUZf
"I'm not that bad looking."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS8MykJN5a
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOva4hVteCb
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. 318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8C6EiGoEA
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3SxqziycN
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix0ckeFg45
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UBSCxEFkz
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuFvyPjuoS
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz79Ysm4lz
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh5atR0cnr
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfEqpa28Px
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZOqaHXoVq
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZJKsqeMtG
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFhXEWMIXU
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5ohKRA7Vw
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lD4BRoYG0
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitWLncUFrZ
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXViBtbNxSB
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eUIHjI5uy
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUc57X9Kqy
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Wv4Kdcwb
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifGXLSNe9L
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkzFPfo39h
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsD1BuByqH
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplEnlPAhJo
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sdAOy0Nzs
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsVktWHEEE
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDKmr92pZn
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9qWbEhIWa
"I don't want to get into it."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡminh6MqcpF
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeVgIqchvd
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzb4YGjZi3
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwBenpSZkf
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZqqNixked
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiafwBDS9B
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hWmfA9NTg
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0In3Eq2dZ5
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvcNHjFlH0
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchxmnB85pw
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ977yG2Eb
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfrEai7PzD
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPSnZZAFFT
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXXQOWYwBL
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UT7VpFqxs
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wp2PEJ1xM
"What's going on, Quinn?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAN1QzrQPl
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6dT8ik2rS
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq16j55n9y
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHz8B7yymY
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ck6gall6i
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKMUCMLgBd
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUgg4lD50q
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1BDDPk86V
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9upd2Gz0w
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRsQ3wmrEG
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32oTC6S7jS
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpIgYywyn2
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb2tXukyn1
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNmQ1XEWYM
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7za24C28v
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo5k58sRD3
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMpgGBdSX0
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCeNDxNUl6
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiVRu2qtDb
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdSjMrk38J
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp0X9CRQij
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn5rP4j8Kk
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAkCbv418a
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv2YH81tR6
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFhwGYY0jw
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQCkvtOZrD
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5qozuG3GY
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH8035Pgxh
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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV9w6nRWuH
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixivmRqQpm
"He's here?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t7YmXKKR8
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TUJJkszRM
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvi47qN1Eh
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHZLk1lDVL
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd9GpEWYzV
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oNyOnJlVK
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwmpAOtTXY
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjiig3cQ5e
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwvuvgSM3s
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZXoW1UySC
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmNJgotRPx
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuPFrk5Dfv
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBHxQ2lnHh
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXtMZF7kdb
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFxY5lfSiv
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOysxkBwW3F
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYnV7ByLaL
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTv6raIx8G
_318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfBDrN7lC5

"Keep up, Quinn!"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6RhuE47gr
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfoykbIZLE
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1CLaBkYS3
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf1wuGHml1
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlsy1MKsXz
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESpmoVlIJQ
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D4f6vdfdg
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWt8nSccEv
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKidjJeGWa8
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX8di8AX0t
"Dick!"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkP3Ho3ptU
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHQ4TrP0WT
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLrONPmkE1
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhdzlZ6ISx
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A0DxiQAjz
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx5H10OJTC
"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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW35UcLPuc8
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsmN80r1eI
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT2TLI54pl
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFNvmAlgiC
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s51I99CiR
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Icmparbi
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. 318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbqLIIqMwk
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz2o1q9AAO
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPXKiubJ4F
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwZV0i71eQ
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobYGe7fWo0
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCzK7Y2D2A
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r1xkpud5F
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JqeAdxalt
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P42IaQLX7
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RO5HpgrOE
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFteHwBWSJa
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWdfhqTYmB
"You could say that."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr8wIXLYme
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQYCjLSPS5
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8RtlXVgg4
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a90iJvBUY
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEtipcDZIC
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfOuKqQoFI
"Me too."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeXpc8AVU5
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV6MyWzHVU
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H75lKFHX4
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktNM5EUPlP
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvRTNRbqJz
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e9oP5w49l
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmj5clAwJo
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVU7dSA53u
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsQXNZ0BOm
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloOobIa4yf
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL03aHxmL4a
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q03VfLH3z
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYctih1xeS
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa07GDeBQz
"Money laundering?" I laughed.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtzUixURc1
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeT7h3BIuM
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NoXxuspf7
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0VpMzeLYS
"Seems like a lot to handle."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQrxXwplwL
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5n0U0XoxX
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfSc4yyX6W
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8vi2OyHBh
"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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI3RDbjDEZ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhpZOzsRml
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3ESSYOydZ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XD5lVNV5D
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNHtA80AWd
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HSr0YSaYY
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzRlPIFL4O
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6i6k6XMJP
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT2Uw1xiNL
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuaLNhl3pa
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFgAqxgnsI
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEHs9BV38W
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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bh9L6gG7f
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzGuDsAilb
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ2bgflpkw
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAVJXvp7Tg
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv5HFknuGG
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUxJDovXH6
"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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIJsvt3jLK
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFgxVxDn3L
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRcZJPlLQF
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQx2Ac6WVE
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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcTuL9s9J0
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVLgmuaqVX
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSVpGDdF42
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9knJZbbao
"Are the two of you close?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtH66Hn0Co
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxUMtNefwm
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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkM0Xo5W78
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtQxEzsMv4
"What about you?" 318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHP9bW7wHn
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOce44xPsCx
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM4Xzp3TMu
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqYh6U3Mfk
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9nj4jJXLu
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ5zyw71S1
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsgUU0qhCh
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuoF7rsOvJ
"Sounds like the life." 318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxNyJT9aqd
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUkLaqXh3v
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkYFlL71ws
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUv6nMaTQP
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE9b0R3Ues
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MD5sbN1bN
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniGQLcYt1G
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVZGeIFrtT
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDhRMQHaHE
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRt4RNgcUJ
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPiw2ARn3M
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZBeHBpnUs
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dwqdt4NYk
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwX9ysWA3k
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbPZh6cTFO
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dGZhfw2ur
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlJfou5qXi
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeMoqveLet
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxr8fW34PQ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8kvNjUvmm
"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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVkXrmuC5e
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo57TQ47G1
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuvzIdXugy
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV8t4LxChR
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-"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyKYeDsuyw
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6cKf8zMMv
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoirDatMjsY
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKMCqODjE4
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFyk7CB4uv
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsImfaXPZI8
"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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe5ssTip5B
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykaWYkFKYf
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBmg1YkrCJ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡervbT4mUcW
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHybSowUUj
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gLEjgCcLO
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLQ6D1UwJs
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiLV9TSChp
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROzsxXpktM
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wyMPYes2x
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bATBMG3Rw
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5CEhyIVo7
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzIiTcwiGM
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZPLC0mrhV
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04rP0c3U9f
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFTAHhPXo5
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2iJXbQjwD
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOWxH7vTLb
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWzZoQ5fDR
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YGPGxYBkz
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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTF21CyBDz
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqfIfiC5xV
"Try me.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3VAT2tgfS
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSammYgH1rB
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq6VE3i37O
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUYsFVzP9I
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gpoGOkoUs
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvpw4qQvlp
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqFDZMyiAu
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVRtWvWAVa
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa7Ezc7QXo
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMBv7Y0zBq
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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNpotEZ9zf
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkwOTmLrsV
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVopwsIAd7
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv7SX9nxfJ
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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNJjDMGBOt
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRPyL59xZh
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWgayTVPY1
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRGeWLZZKQ
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVVEnr6xl8
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEFcv1qOWm
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiBYNsCVCQ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R7OCQMO8U
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRZMeFeiDo
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81YC4l7gy9
"Take it off, baby!"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSQfMd1n9a
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWruAWsiNi
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsnDGBL1uU
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnDrFoxEyg
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIWZsupM2p
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j20q7OlKl
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqSHsvDhbh
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGUF3U5PAZ
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xM4fCAwYS
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW1ctybpXS
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4X4SH6PTD
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4aCgWtZqB
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabPdSzqEql
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1jg4GJPkb
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BPcucvjkg
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnOgJ3L45h
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCdGyVIUoF
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfqrTnHAVi
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerAxNwqeuF
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdXPC1gd3S
*BANG* *BANG* 318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9oWQUGNcm
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcKnRuaPzO
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzPzMiee03
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXtdSm24yd
"Turn the fucking music off now!"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKS3v8QRwd
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaszHhkxMKA
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIPBUp0GoA
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT60ue4ZPz
"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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKHnLzslRq
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OGHoOIu6V
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFt7PeHx2l
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaTaVuJw8w
"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."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOmdDyQCU6
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW5pvugZgp
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uPnOJUPyY
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiKNZ3YGWV
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.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuwhofbQNI
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcQPx5lo1S
"Get up and go."318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAFvO1T7pJ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulpoe7xUgL
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYFBHCbVzk
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5royAVsoXW
I'm so fucking dead.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN476d1QP0
