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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwRJQim6cP
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgEDU83UzO
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg8S9eitgG
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ346U9JN10b
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPjsQQtEbX
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3UTIZf3VP
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y4yoIOdNL
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ChFnn15QW
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWemw4uz4qA
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjy1UgYTdt
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvinNcfzy56
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOZJsmB3lF
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfUSJebxdb
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk8ko9Gjr8
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV1YFxz0SN
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC83VXzqRW6
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv0PZqxQdm
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWuZwdjJlm
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1F9ggUjX3
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWstUYSwqBr
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjaEFmkAIg
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4STbNIeEuz
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZtSdvOAHC
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk1KrGG0Li
"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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCl8ewji0k
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhQ2Pd7v7R
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFreBYoCJb
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHTHrGuMmB
"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?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6uiwYCP8S
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cbuYzZ3Vr
"Okay, mom."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCG5KDU9d5
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6GEhoZkfI
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfklQ1ClIPh
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8L61i0Vns
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IxQt8tl7r
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bazA6xGZi
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF2qf1flGa
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuDmgDQrFY
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWZW5snSUk
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38csvt0M5G
"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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIsoKWoI2o
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVKTFCct3M
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SxQTaGHX1
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzyhImrwnz
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaOX0tHZnh
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToPZ8FFElc
"Sorry."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYZRU0NDsW
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV1bqJjQSB
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhFllluRow
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmSxEn5jTe
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXHZNz8BU4
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBy0LZkW8s
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhuGaPb3Ez
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHrDpPUcSo
"I'm not that bad looking."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3mktvbmBT
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡResXDUhBW2
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. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa9qjSqwOk
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC1vqv4WCJ
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hJiwA1ncw
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZgWCbbfA5
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKAzKRUgb7
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NnrYg3ZBr
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUUIC1BdJ6
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Xabx6kgu
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIx6uzFFQP
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aUmo13qVi
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv3rpeDjxe
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSaUIPeVK7
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4ORkNwNLN
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYKK5HyL8N
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xf5ogxdbE
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3O68Sdpsn
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNmvDMi2Q9
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlgWpeM07a
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3s9uJOrVf
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUtsBrpnq3
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KdoGtr5g9
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKn7LW8ing
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg7rbQyCHy
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYICDBzlDH
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B4avhG54i
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2myIhP2Ur
"I don't want to get into it."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusFkQZiFLy
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWDofUv2Hy
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk26qH76cF
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sCyRKthnu
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOFdgcX5fS
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcU5RnRQye
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyp1KBvFnl
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YcIBNYeTb
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1s0dGuYNC
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c8Pkjbb8e
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNdF2ez8h7
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eHAkqhI1E
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvncl8C491j
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu5phP5T8U
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdfRlHPMPy
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohUJlfKxW6
"What's going on, Quinn?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Tv9Amy6d
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWnNxMkuiP
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhnp7klglH
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPwVyPf2CI
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR7QCP4u2o
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Su5hqzMoW
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1izzORe1Z
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqlf9O6jru
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43HRbm7NYb
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYMpnifQi2
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hOoLOUvOg
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexE6CB9oIb
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHd69q4j1P
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfY3iuI6ju
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6F7QNw8WG
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iiUaQFA7C
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kynyE9YSs
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj5NNkSZyr
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDtPMJ7PkA
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP99JfZly7
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDpbIwZ4o2
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrLwBYBaOi
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwDvGvqefY
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtygVswSX5k
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNP4E1PuY9
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWYqh3rFjM
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGtKApULU4
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk71rTU5LL
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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9jeUeZA9V
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkhg0ji8Yo
"He's here?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Zf9OhSg2
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWXBFKpyms
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxozucTjvG
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjZh66xwqd
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aIK5aUpMi
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYyPj3Jnas
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26Qf7ToOCh
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oC63TBh8j
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV7LZa1xEu
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiQLgVCMmd
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDczt3h1dz2
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oFU5gE6Sy
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iGmolYhuC
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TrCUn9DZI
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZUufYoxGF
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgQN73xsRZ
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbnIgqkyRv
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuWP98lTGK
_400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIYY2MkEK7
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfN0Fm8uq3
"Keep up, Quinn!"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhqgnM85kD
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw7aszgeT3
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8uWI3fVtY
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZXK48yOs6
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtaGPZaLcd
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTUZbpHyP7
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQDNaeb29j
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuflk51WZyy
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanjpVhToKm
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsGftZgCP2
"Dick!"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvtZf2kY90
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDF4irMvar
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiijMNNDnK
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o9NPnRaST
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtloLFMcVpc
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKKEDYW7RU
"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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdccMVJfYYm
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0NuzF4BGS
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbnBzHcinu
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuYppbnKXV
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixvpPQlhbt
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvzMarSWYb
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. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4flIB0GgQl
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgcPJ4dbD4
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpli8RUKLt
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKcmJacSEM
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZoiZIM1vw
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDFWGiYqqX
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLgov067Yt
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJx3kZo2Nd
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2JN6YFO7b
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhLD88dtbx
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0b8RCmGbo
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj43YU6MYh
"You could say that."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67MfmlK7J1
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfdBkVbOe1
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ77MKuXUGI
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQJMszEdnN
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9I2A1lv7S
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvzV4yCL9z
"Me too."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBRzFOXpCj
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVkuGqDuYe
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EYLOHwFwO
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB02E7lusd
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUnVnLKI4g
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx1VvC86pa
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkU0KMHMEG
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEihTcyiPzG
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3VlsHoCGe
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp0qGGNNrd
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ygk3weJG
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZGOS9AiYp
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwGEXZI3El
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vSXXdBIzH
"Money laundering?" I laughed.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNqfUDpTzS
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwI59gf6Mt
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOLL4S0T0R
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxov2moD4dy
"Seems like a lot to handle."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXKLlNJYIH
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uA5DjKEAy
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YNn9tSaWr
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmAuUOPjIm
"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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEGt1sSPYE
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvOKBiFpRB
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UN7PIdXcK
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspHepK7mLI
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gvWY6Saqe
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7H0GsVE8h
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP7x5kES5N
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB03Y5RN37g
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf9UeVy3FT
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftK0CaMK0M
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaMgjtDdh9
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQSQ8NX8mQ
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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFoeecuCNZ
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj5PiiOSc9
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QZ1ZHU0Kx
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBxdNzbzzh
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWr41JECNV
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4LG82PeTN
"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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj6vqoSMPg
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuOSI6eN1Y
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDFMdepC8E
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4yfgSqruM
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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD5JhekVCk
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRPCC3ZOmK
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeBXToHMXj

"Are the two of you close?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQSoMYwcN0
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6KsPjKD7v
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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xLPOmSzMt
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXf7gtCqD8
"What about you?" 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAMcqyMi3B
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeAsbeGybB
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvFk75EKfW
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6qZMLepjR
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT3pW8aZ3J
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NeKxWMoQL
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIg6kL9uIr
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLdBdz2mbO
"Sounds like the life." 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uy65rssi5
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjx9PS2l8L
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4MnbxlHQI
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdJQSMgm2A
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHMw3JBCGv
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t362KRUBN
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MSjJJrqNJ
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx72BEwqW3
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjaPRpnpxX
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgWTCFAmPv
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xSVXpNs25
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPqFsZK6ex
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q3axCb1sA
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaFAHnhzXe
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFmFzXSs7X
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgU9tNitQr
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDudnj1gLw1
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt2hEqOVly
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaXUMiquGW
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlktmrqJfEV
"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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNRooQqvoV
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc1pwe8ntv
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv99gkDCSX
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt5D58qJji
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-"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mF15V4ypO
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE1p9t3UDN
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6N9ceFlP9
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvmKF0be4x
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhHjseSGa7
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jMluBKWoX
"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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1ZsOWPZ2I
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoksqi75MqR
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeQSMlNtyU
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mOQ2mipXW
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0G2eGFTgc
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURbiQrJCOr
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxMJKSCwGm
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfuymIxRoX
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcw6Ib7eJR
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaiIZxFvmB
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAP7fErTeu
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5zkBMSwEX
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsx7snDbCy
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYwZVR2CJ6
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAAUOBvN3N
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvJMNl2Ykk
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4KW7hEDFV
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco5CDj3une
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndWfVq6Frm
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIazyNxULD
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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw8me2MWh6
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF4qtTSWri
"Try me.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA3qZ9UHqn
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTei9QIk1IY
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJllPSsl4Um
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth0zEMuex7
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEEDMy4iJ8
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYjjesf0qI
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThOvL16Jhg
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2RMpSgxwB
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUm0HTKpsI
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzE1z7TNt2
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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAHmlOTmGT
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxncZ5USKS
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwD5W053YK
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08ioxc0vzX
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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMh3jK4dn1
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytNo3YvmA3
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto4pUxSd2d
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVrSYKaGLR
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUKZafYhd5
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o3DT33iNC
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8SAueh1qG
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTMJFpsG8L
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbslhb9gwLm
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrqgmU1Hgz
"Take it off, baby!"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZVKB0VBKZ
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbakq3yTlDM
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vRLKjJ153
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0KjcE5AiO
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBniQoqrSlY
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEgTEmUgwf
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pIZY547Cv
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEqoytuVlp
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOZKwRtsIa
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoWSe9HrHG
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcaJec6UOw
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uvGtegjXm
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAumBNfI3wH
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiW89irh83
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oS63I8QsP
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGu1imZfG4
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri6Hpj4Bw9
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvHOIiwelx
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHm1DmQnKV
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2fCwiiEWF
*BANG* *BANG* 400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YDiXtFLzC
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzL77oNbEC
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDi5ajASPA
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtkgfezxz1
"Turn the fucking music off now!"400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7fJMu9t17
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBcZKQVn5X
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKQu04DGRN
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElnGMVsomD
"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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzqUFblfgR
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScoSMQkMlL
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3dkbBTiOd
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SdwxOMIi9
"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."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulV5s94ijr
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAyW80aS8o
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES6UyAHo23
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQePl9TmE6
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.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSZnzskTk4
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuS3zMovDW
"Get up and go."400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwFpiKqgms
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRYOk02ykh
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM9BYJkix1
400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3SHhT8RS2
I'm so fucking dead.400Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg995AzH66
