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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjoI61GEMj
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WjvXCoSRo
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfdTQNCPpg
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Sds5Hyh9
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkQD0B2533
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOsWuLpJv1
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokko26S1VG
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsE5Ljh5N5
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOICdyTQsRz
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV6PL9yEqD
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFluFtKz52X
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCxlBVh0YP
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVZWWvh5PL
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRey7YOzsJ
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAiMkSzeaS
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvxAk5QNzu
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkJX3l4qx9
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUbzaJncvG
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxHvwL2Uea
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzcD8E6E5P
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0WKWKQXfx
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2YkC8TVUL
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcW0O8VOjV
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzmRKj6Z4c
"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPKyQCCtiA
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYAVBsy4MU
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CYIKlsJCw
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUdJ33EPnd
"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?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYLs95QQEo
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWloU9NMXI
"Okay, mom."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm6jSEBYV9
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1feLb2Xjmc
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu6LrM0ZrV
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbCOPgcYlq
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleevPGbspB
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd75c16vON
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJsN8cRT6E
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6batRQSos
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u3nua3VkA
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfLyb5i6UE
"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpJ2picTeX
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qzlww0GiM
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ4xBwIaJU
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH6SNdiWHm
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKROUgpmab
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPCSHwQujt
"Sorry."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JSW87aevP
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19yXYuKrJU
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiN0cZgPZ3
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrgVZUzt47
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkUAjSDZlO
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMLcv53siP
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpmT9WUYB2
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sAbDHE5Es
"I'm not that bad looking."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqKY74hGSr
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSo4ukeeoU
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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT6sNcx6xW
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ol0C2bSVs
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMv93fpIuW
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lchv6KXJX
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHDYR340Fp
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq45oQ48ym
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh7z5Utitu
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje0RJZfVMD
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MKufrjUqv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy25yUu1pN
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiuJ1mKUXJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr273T4Z2Y
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv342mzk6lk
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIQP6zUDNX
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtcqSvJvRB
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIa7eXpyEM
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofwHBjZLPt
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA0G6a1ItE
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgMIXjqAm5
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JzllsOoUk
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iBFLV9kb9
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ZACFzZxU
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmugDJX1oiQ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAJB8jFOyL
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZC0psxEx5
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV0Z8u0kTt
"I don't want to get into it."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20bm9BEgIU
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq6Rix6EOQ
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ9OdTdxVd
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8TVPJNWkE
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB2aOuVB1Z
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M1S7X2Zsd
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrygnXZtiK
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBnmLooL5Z
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9TxwsCfO8
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sqi01f78h
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x3XClPck8
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWcHDolhU6
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CEUqlelFJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbwxZXk5Zj
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zONVPxgJn
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjjmpLIiJi
"What's going on, Quinn?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MJj7JTnbJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OC6TaYmhj
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3m4yD1aCX
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYoRkdUfT9
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcsf2PnROC
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd4VnUhTJP
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNLRfW7bu9
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1tLq9XiTe
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xs3X2PxL1
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zFXjgj5F2
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz895Ww0N8A
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQObgFaT4e
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYsthytZU1
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rKJN2zLMW
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZYSQ3kG2p
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaq2bolg9M
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcga4sQ4c7
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwpEn6COha
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0B164WBto
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fBHIqJuJV
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJs0SqF23L
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNpRiZQR5v
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczjZEmYGzv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn8o3JjGDQ
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81jClIt1Tw
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfCfMWbX6i
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2QXIDpmRf
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYOTmbJhZt
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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY1bRFDoqW
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMefWZ0Gz0z
"He's here?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz8RKJ46PN
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqz7Vu6KaB
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM0gSxLrg9
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oNnB8LvXn
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwzKOAJZIe
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M9Zu2tGQx
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREpNKpaT3u
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JyaELszQb
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ0nDGxAtD
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmSZh0g28H
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx84pRVqPd
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroMAdrNVSz
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3safr8Hhe
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr8yB1lAbP
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrbFqA7Apw
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SWGwcTvIL
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFQryhRLKS
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgumZwjpW7z
_364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGaLGTYHzo
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySwZGqQTI0
"Keep up, Quinn!"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8xlTqlR7r
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5jshjiBmX
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOllRKOzTN
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcAhNfBbjm
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJxTjg1Mxj
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ09tQLp0ac
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuY4irvAak
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEv38Sdv1Y
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmunRRvtQO
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAfqpAoCYN
"Dick!"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKtYKh1co8
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMGb3nAQ8I
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGN0wnqEvC
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPbW40gwfY
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAr4GeQKOn
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMjRPHFvIc
"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKvbkMEGf1
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ760W6rGmqh
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk5PBPUlHb
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqISHNZxzYJ
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJbIUmdFTZ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGEbWZbtSo
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. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNgo6cl3qa
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjOJIne5lC
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK8U67OvmN
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfEMldXW2e
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ4SSrkCAx
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPDWpCMWSV
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70wrRUQPpE
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6494DuPSH
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P3wAseuv6
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1QdeFszYh
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSar71aCZG
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5exnut8NM
"You could say that."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tYAtSGLFO
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg03rQBjvd
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUB5jTlu7X
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi4EpbgQwu
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCatiJzEFG
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TKz4tB2As
"Me too."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhFeDhYduf
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxYvEpYGra
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0R8a8wqKC
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbjSjRUVmD
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlvVOqV3jd
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YBIcqAqpA
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvUcx9m7TO
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuOzGvJHaY
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuou9459uO
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngpL1HQEkr
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPGqSMjJyu
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja3qmc0Imw
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKttMe76yvR
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12qznsoIGE
"Money laundering?" I laughed.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12pNQ13VQ3
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsiRoOr8dt
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprnkrkwZWF
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GjPNyWdx3
"Seems like a lot to handle."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4McFY5jtWy
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSek3ryjlf
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Svip9WT8
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOCTUCbErC
"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUqlYWKhG7
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk5hAp6x2F
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTiSmVOOmV
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIUpVPf7GG
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXDYx4BHla
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HSCyW3ZGa
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzQYuNM3ri
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVFOGNDiVe
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD5k1vd9MV
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BqdX7rPpE
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LUBzAJiRP
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtgmrjiD0j
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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaevYop5Jyq
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7jVt4vfNy
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC6FnijUAj
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ4IokwFbM
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3yS3jyCYF
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2iZcWOb7k
"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwDeGDmzDS
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTslWU5jjDi
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG21LdB7Alx
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvQV19vFt6
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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVPDAaXrkN
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDetXv8h3TL
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweuFONNV4W

"Are the two of you close?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs5kfvPx1E
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkVMJp1RC1
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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrpHegxsr6
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaFAccRhOJ
"What about you?" 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTh2lONfdm
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEJzSkgNZI
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XIyT4wE3o
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycdnebOIMx
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSRu9xHDRb
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzt11WL5Br
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICwyOzNTBs
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jazAPCKIT
"Sounds like the life." 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw42hlurzUp
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L52c9HZK2
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5UUcjvArp
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzA5Ouh7Q0
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2166GG2Ku6
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOL4BiPtp2
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOM7GPGB9V
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZYvW9w0ml
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZzztuLMzv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ719kxOmebE
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXS7CXWrta
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwshSOy60dG
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSmD3yC1rj
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMokO1X93mK
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2NPi6TOJ5
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65vT0cnPiL
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gQ17KSYos
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGQySVGz14
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn9rpZbxUJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk64vfnKgl0
"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaPSkl0B8R
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZJLsBsCpV
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVMw9dLl6q
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPKxRbAr27
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-"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16WtXy9UZZ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6uqHlGCIe
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGvZtjZAnR
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8FCBhJRsR
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvslTr495J
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z9Hf427yN
"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ks3D43AiG
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfmtkQ6RSX
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdkwWW6mWd
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7LYQaDNWy
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM44IbwtWMM
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi1TKoRiWQ
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1B1TVHiB2
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpv0LvzegM
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5EzoXmTed
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RGFGSh3xt
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnAC78e1y1
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaxWRLB1o6
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheArtPmgPc
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g2gODCHOM
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzWvyzVgrn
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a52IAMwEo
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii0vrzdfYK
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHwjY4kLvb
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqY6Jr3rjr
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLo22j9xHv
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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSAiO9dlMZ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwQ6A7N9ME
"Try me.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRcQ3vOLjF
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0m1nKJh9s
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iYWhNSV3Z
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHvkEB1E8E
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGoU2S6m2L
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko6v4DCeIh
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbSgPlZen4
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkaIBIPGcG
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJKzuTimxS
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLEuMU3Ph3
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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxjJhN0p6j
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0CTsWAO6s
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxvdaD1Gcw
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3oRvA9mht
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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5rEM8pXsj
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDvmgXX4aq
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOHsVamBjF
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe34uW44Cll
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gD6EUFu82
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ooy3TNZtF
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mnRJvCbHv
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVPpqnp8XL
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJEzSMP8Qg
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE9tgyAmNy
"Take it off, baby!"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w5vGCO0XQ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95mWlxOagt
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIbdixaELV
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3nC4cCCWU
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PWwGLPnFC
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A1Hq9jLUm
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NQ5KkKr0i
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOdsAF56hD
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTd6oeVIxe
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOaYaF2N9q
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLUaa54VgC
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2aOmGUzdS
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfIdj1aCGG
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlcH688GHx
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IdTlPM6Bw
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcCkZKS1xX
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXF5RMvOMB
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiop03r0q8b
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIEOpYTERi
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDCmdFLPed
*BANG* *BANG* 364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCLl8akxot
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3eYeGG1IB
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6z0iLJOBM
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGntDWgtWA
"Turn the fucking music off now!"364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc30bNK4VUO
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v0jSu3EAm
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWZEVWHFJT
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkEnX7YdcI
"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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1fP0TOK7e
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRb3ZP5OrX
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHzKk3R8EP
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypF8F7tWtx
"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."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12iYWb3ug0
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBxsUgpa38
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsHTnzGnzJ
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGatmqd6BYj
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.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ7JRoeKla
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95nO5lB9fe
"Get up and go."364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5fDc0JD93
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJgNHu12Zn
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGxQvqONWn
364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm9D1jVxKO
I'm so fucking dead.364Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyaXuIUsUn
