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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUoddhQv6j
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz4gZUPKkX
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmJulJA3Jz
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfUSbL0oco
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDafg8fawn1
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWhgwQng6e
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZCeD6fuo6
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1HT5kVDj8
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx6InzYm2q
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss9PUt5xBr
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabEre5K68W
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdncoJklBUz
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqyYgrO9Bd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VspHNLOh6
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr7yKuzVVg
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMepo96wXW
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65UKOo8f2g
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpFyVatpUR
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif7a25IAJK
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVqPIVC6gX
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktK8Th1Tv2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVd62Jz95q
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGtWOPPo6Q
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PScC4m5K4
"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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyaEw5QvQT
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA2FJN6kw2
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDyckZGzRa
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqKN0xaQCx
"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?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEgI22Jv1s
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj4YUhw6li
"Okay, mom."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jlm8gDPVt
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNmkqEcSaD
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUdx6bSLqP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJIgxO66st
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1XLsGFVFj
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPioneAnIz
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOPX1l81fX
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnr6RS5ezg
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlySIHPwesO
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3n3HsXoRK
"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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT9uPqpVxq
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL06Q5y9lKu
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT7bQwyyV6
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgDdXkMUVA
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoMZ9daHIO
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOC0eFypd2
"Sorry."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA6XNPKjzL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aohGzdC0k
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUl8MlONGd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3hSkgQTNL
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNBZPWCc0E
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEQYNwZ8me
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN4umsTZ9c
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3b1pUWjIZ
"I'm not that bad looking."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4piG90n7z
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8jy5lc9GP
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. 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU88u7oGxw
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCXhxVIAjE
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphXWMFjYNI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYXn4jOabS
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDLLpiIQDk
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTflMPdjTps
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYV03MYySU
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0TjNrHYVt
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKNcFp2NUM
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD76wGF0BgA
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbNIOCw8g5
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDHUhep4Jo
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMceoHfAlX
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX8mWffwRh
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqlBd4ZBla
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d15Zvcv8y
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpuQlTEKql
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgYWCxlzRC
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Qz2Wmt0j
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVZsGff5H7
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8zjpls62a
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZQ9QrmC2L
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUNxtGUGXz
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4zVLB96YC
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE71tg54eBU
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPophUIXC9x
"I don't want to get into it."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBxgdSZkW4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtWtL4QP5i
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclGeiqb1vd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R5LlX3REp
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IZSMXgIEx
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsebza3hGl
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnDX00gkcf
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL7RlYodqV
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMUpRwIbdT
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgR4O9EQet
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxWkdDO8vH
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVlbhEfD41
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpsql6Y9Yw
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJRhnQUzbc
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr9UoYvOTW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBem9Y45Aks
"What's going on, Quinn?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnfxVmWgoQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu1qyjBS4U
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf81c23uMuN
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUfrIIEXuh
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm1lHVc6jJ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJePHHlbn61
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo9kpxSm72
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg6DVbCczY
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09cImmMb9x
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGncvF4E1B
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BNxSB2Tuf
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJrcIkTSAM
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxA6gnPJ4p
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54a5qioOSO
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5olQ9LjrB
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKfFXswk8C
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcmPy1hsSt
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThP0j9bfwD
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTVFsDOKsc
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAXQSZP6Dq
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbreAsfA1X
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnIWjUPQn9
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAqy6y5qIz
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNqDjR16fZ
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHA6W55ajI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6frEKO5Crf
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERwoOEh92v
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tHCSBTwVm
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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuElysagMgz
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwvNJBSSpT
"He's here?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3IdTxbBuv
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQxnRwcgVj
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGGCS9nZsY
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuK7TbiRIH
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSNyIADbCp
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffrMQoY4xo
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1fvv3ArxH
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7Vvk9dH1p
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP0PF9U3mW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR2xiMQlIK
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz3ZZ8oQtZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlOIEaov3j
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76YWa3LoyA
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ1WxTPvk7
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv4IL2HQRI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgQp1zJUfk
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvYAhGfXLa
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp5oa1kwJI
_396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxqQ0XMLyD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJc5YyhtzH
"Keep up, Quinn!"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ca8K0XGe5
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkZR6wvgcW
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWlC5kSwmk
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOuLCRizkU
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5rAOmGQc5
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq0d9feHem
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73YF3yy5w9
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oUyqyzS8S
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehvfhvIAIi
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9OjIKCaMb
"Dick!"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx1BxjgMvD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6VKex5GcT
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlg8aV5pFF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMwgu5cdcl
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1BoAJRaMe
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttFh9bU80f
"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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JyRa7zCkZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P5Pjj6ZKu
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPAUSwp0v5
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6K0au9qwR
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn6lWqvpfQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZqtHoSMO7
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. 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsUxxfNuhp
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlINUrFm4UK
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpoZXLS3Oh
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNomrudaAG
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu682xIn79
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vYbZmVs2e
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8MNYkXPYm
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2vBoLlLO0
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkRocc9IER
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9gR2doxIf
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBrtbegIfR
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEul2nJrMVt
"You could say that."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9D36J45Rn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkL35qVPwr
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy8lVwhIvc
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJvBaCsVud
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyScl3xt5as
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpL2QpJJJQ
"Me too."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSNNhjnd7d
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dBiVhGLhV
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx4NSQ6Q0Q
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQRX2KlgRX
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxa0pIID2r
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmawYTeLsAD
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGA7yH2HtE
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkh7jrVMJa
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREqPbqK0Ve
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorHZRPpUnR
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbQmvlXh4b
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIm4sjVEuz
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENCElDnEzx
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLKyqGHjbC
"Money laundering?" I laughed.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1TTJ76LEl
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NiOqEI7Ok
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErZiDmWz5r
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaQ8cCz1Qn
"Seems like a lot to handle."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx66w7HSgrp
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfAgMKrifE
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhBo4Ndkvo
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN7h9TCP8v
"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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gha95eJSl
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBtF2uzD9j
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9diXntOgv
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5VFIwP99p
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bPdan70mD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJtuDv7TOe
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7p0Oxyrcm
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkjzahbuUX
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv38Kdzkuby
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeeXprDvUI
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR9Ls5aWtt
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o5BVQOddm
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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKYo9HoUxi
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqB3uxRaXP
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzFOkgyneV
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLJInFXNP6
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRgzB99LIq
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfvrKK9ECa
"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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9UoJyySCs
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tW6d2aLyK
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPJdx4Kfkv
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSfIJ5Zbm0
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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbn1CN9ayw
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHUxrVBq1s
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wc9KgriAb

"Are the two of you close?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddhjkZ90SW
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBgYGWZVh8
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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wnfzftxWh
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yB9T0rmbU
"What about you?" 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76GgrxTyJS
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvmJOQLzzr
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdkUUf4bCc
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIbLKTzjzf
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmReLg8Vi5b
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU2F7mH6SI
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKoo73gWd2
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBrEWF600h
"Sounds like the life." 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKA4sOYQ5M
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXS5hHFYpL
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY1hICaZRn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB2TYrI904
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W1TO8qq7d
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoojDoxVmFp
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVFrrVpWvZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8inO7yZRdP
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Mbe7ySYQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg4Ctn9dbP
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSNbpoYFPL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJRDSzVZNq
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm0oRgQ0vf
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoAsXppzqt
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6zfmznZzH
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8obNuq0R9r
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzvVe4FRt7
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZVBf6VjPN
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKIPsT0G2O
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64N5PzAg9C
"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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd36tWFoVrO
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUK1b1guZX
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aK5UMq0A0
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGPFfIFPrb
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-"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlrRSwg2tG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uSx7MUuHR
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkTyUwobKg
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yLVhhQ4Q5
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeuN8n2HTX
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKEgndvnzM
"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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5auIr3naT
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVfZZmnH8v
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovtz6HOP2z
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc6usoSv98
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9L32Q72IG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1LFxa2kYm
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJAv7SNhTo
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5hbpqT3IZ
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGBqE7K4e9
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtICsouD3Gt
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo5PKsHF8x
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VDAL9nzVZ
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn2w2xtB7A
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhtPXWY5kQ
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu80j2jxD9
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5HWnJQcFS
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt8XQisVaF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9SqY3syQd
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1ryQyW0Kr
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTN0cF5LV6
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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKszQyg8j5Y
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BbeZcJ1MU
"Try me.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Tt8xImEQ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQvMgUrcvI
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ182n9a3aXi
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1rJ8Wnchk
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFRgh1nVon
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7TacSpoTK
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l8ktT1KyZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h71R9VPYC
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVlx0DrypL
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPzCZWsbYa
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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL1awjjN7l
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFbUd8ijKK
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOW03LslnG
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCI0uXOE2n
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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFxOwV1czw
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5SwavjaQh
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjn0F1eEHu
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW3W3IZRzB
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmlJxixkc5
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Rxxh01Cb
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum5ZSsp64E
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUETzyYl7C0
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5OmuGl09U
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y5GKN5GIC
"Take it off, baby!"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLTgGiBaDn
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI1tiifGRE
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzAyiRRgfS
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUEu91KaQN
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKCynJ86pP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04qlBIjfN8
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QQNBLW42P
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07iqnHQQRO
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hClLm2iDZ
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE5XgQNils
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMx8Q6slqr
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqORZYorDd
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ9ZPzLtbN
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPgOt9ZT2O
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOzraY6HxD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQedmok39BQ
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWJ2pIUTtx
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLQiuX2QVq
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtBzg4GFf4
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2CTs3yNm9
*BANG* *BANG* 396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyb9GXx7RP
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhyUoRZa6q
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HGIe3Prkd
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTUR8J18T3
"Turn the fucking music off now!"396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHZnu7drvC
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIOM0dBZTv
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnsQEXzkLD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCYqOMzL4A
"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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB6l2wP4E8
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncpvKMvo3j
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ3kVSSvop
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakFwkZ9RMl
"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."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx0c8tYPDF
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrMzaCfT1i
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyArhI17EI
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1UodqBo3h
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.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBp1DfnmQO
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5QcARGZtN
"Get up and go."396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKfjsG2ktT
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULPesCks2u
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6SK7w7cVD
396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rz3L05KOB
I'm so fucking dead.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQhLpky1Sq
