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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAb9S09c9p
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99xR17xZge
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM85nbrvkrf
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstgUoUPTpd
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6s7wym24G
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOX4QDIMBb
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqa7SjmZhP
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LtiZ32eAe
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Su7F6THXI
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBExY726Wzd
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS3l9G4YbL
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRfQtzbYnR
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP7ijdGCk0
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F9QfR4OcU
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5JmPvFbhv
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOzSpEbD6F
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xhmPOt7f3
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMXFlPSsK3
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1UaQKWevI
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyL2r4yL41
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mrSpT4Oyf
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqhWs4aA7i
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b4HNK4b13
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIioX6aWKB
"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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXNluHOsbM
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FEOJscKoW
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCUJorUBfH
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6gk3oUCwo
"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?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYMCXvpF5X
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShm0DDrAZ6
"Okay, mom."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m9Yqowf3j
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35IDViy9DO
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIO2d625uv
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh89M8GGeF
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUaN0Dtadt
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnW2HHOKWB
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY8a6gYfwY
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWRsic3jCu
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jaa9sIM2Z
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j5tkekL07
"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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTUZpSSIJp
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5b6IeUk6p
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7oyOQ0PmA
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDglF42uSU
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZiCyFZ1DK
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ415Jl6qrZr
"Sorry."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0RgkZg46m
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZMK8CHJL7
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfyAPTt2tI
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLMYw6BM6A
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZjAfU7INq
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dseRFFjXo
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmgIdtiyAy
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49ejSinSku
"I'm not that bad looking."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNnj8DRzuP
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8plGnxceWe
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. 357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4DLpSkrTP
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBKggAtKEP
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpXJjSmK7i
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmdQcqPFxd
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduUD1HNIok
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ7ZdM6Esv
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6JuTAKuya
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGy8u7Hfb4
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yRMiqv751
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsb3RJMkW2
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIYqvh4LGt
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACyXkgcECe
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR0m9kXruA
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW5sN5REfi
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG8p4LxkzA
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd7vux5Njj
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw4En3iKdO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXva2C5DiVp
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZANVvQh72
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxrtK8BsxJ
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtKDQKi5zC
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z8tugLevN
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ0tfn9IZ8
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrJubLc4Wi
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2GBz9tC50
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf9SiHyvcj
"I don't want to get into it."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypFgHGt9Tg
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonkp71qmFL
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMiAkhmiyu
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dKuGOEnxw
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT8qgXSDZ1
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDBt3K5U8i
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWpWdq8phT
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3eoOZ1xRk
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD7FMeRZM4
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ5pA49NmG
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtvptBzU23
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLPtEFeNAv
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvkcZ4U4yu
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmsM7X6jzX
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEBAidoWOe
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbTZMGS6Hw
"What's going on, Quinn?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBISHLe5ANN
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sfPCvWb0M
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQv7YHNXv8
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBn69xOdTB
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi54mjaUYw
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeHqtpKk41
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz4ysisrdj
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWG4MHehhD
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWNXUQxToY
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX8vMnFPhI
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59iFT3PGFJ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgaRBgeOKB
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUgXDrlRvX
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaWOFQfyIa
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH7UqQ9whK
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHj7N6Km0q
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98MSZeJEfu
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWRMaIbqNO
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsmzPEZi0H
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4tXcdqcLX
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpMaI54RZs
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD3fAB7snB
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FMt7zYmbT
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEATUUYGFA
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz6cVUjgaR
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG8vwevkXW
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxk350IMZs
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPdEBoUqvI
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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvHq7SGkUe
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy8SlJdIG3
"He's here?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsQ2e8JLx4
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXPkd9ivjR
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokU2Ksh7Hp
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRvXA8rMBD
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm8zL0DlSv
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiknmKXdBI
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsTu2Vbsoe
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiptnG7ezBI
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3884fvFr7R
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVC3LlrAaz
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ivQzSX4U
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq2wA7IYxE
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7WuSpo3lp
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb62C7JRBZm
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVrL58BMVZ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ4UfkEIGy
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm88or7j7h
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35SgTvFhEn
_357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hZ3qx3Jli
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWDEG6dKlF
"Keep up, Quinn!"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd12BaBnTRi
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFI99mfMuT
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkUPYxHroO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEB4BTf2Ql
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcimrZ6uR8o
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXriQr926T
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkI1Vs0jxe
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMAx7nR19X
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhXdJmMpjn
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVoONFA2ID
"Dick!"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtDPeg1QEt
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RwMgSwQKn
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcIXXpFy4K
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeDyD6M206
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3TfDU3jIe
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ4HvxcMYc
"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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISMfaBGKKp
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxvCVlyj0d
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHhjMKv7OP
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNEZNEP7co
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DSFjEVXQG
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv97MqtjEaA
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. 357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yUshLrnLS
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNPNcYJ9az
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi27hVXB9IH
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaPImeUKqB
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiEUGmr6PA
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu26zffYkV
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dQCnq9dTI
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhgReNSbYe
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwBzj5i4HH
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmUS49Vkqc
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJwYbyF5IT
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeJdRAn3ag
"You could say that."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpI2o8fB5O
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g0NH08cpu
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXjN8UVaNB
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwppbQSlu48
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1UVq1wgFD
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kf1bH82bO
"Me too."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KjeUtK6SZ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVTsWsiVVi
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlqkLFYFBK
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY7WXvHvWd
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ15hNTVL0
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg00J2JBNd1
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPDmPKwqqy
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr5kVYYOsE
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUfkMWlxtd
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3GYzfXRYY
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VFE7lLLR9
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoILNnzX3v
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj86tdktGRY
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOquoow2xy0
"Money laundering?" I laughed.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9JsqdM1Le
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LsovsqPyd
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnZQGAT5KO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKVntbsMjm
"Seems like a lot to handle."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsijukf62Ym
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBpS4ASi9m
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqQq8TxV3X
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB5F5zqkxJ
"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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAWEzs2Liu
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSTOthewcd
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRqamtHQnO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm4zgq3tLK
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pZ6Hd1XaD
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpm161zGAG
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61fcTPEPJ7
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iwC1PrbvG
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaDPSLnqMx
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL29zM7Yfo
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsIPq6cDoF
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVsAFuWQfo
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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz63Yfng5ln
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y8hn0VLUi
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5mdiwNjrA
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivwP237oin
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCIXYlOoHM
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLjh6KJhJp
"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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF2Eaku8Sx
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAwnrxo8Hg
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxQTjUSVbu
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsybvxk5qNA
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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH5nXH5IFE
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Irt8PqAY0
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7q5Rix6hC
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquGvT02PYZ
"Are the two of you close?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4VltYiF1b
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7MdezvV0s
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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBO3uMZPpw
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpNMe1862E
"What about you?" 357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g9vLOOHNM
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhaEOTlogj
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFZj6Cvq7m
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ykhWtZhKn
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPFnHCUMyf
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnZ6gS3us1
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICj8LP9sWn
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNge6Mf4gH1
"Sounds like the life." 357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FizLgXBMO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjUyczAEWJ
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJwn8ABmjk
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb2PXfmpwz
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDGmAwpBw7
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNkNOL2TPv
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wxFLdVPFs
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVikIxB8Mis
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4GlVmgeFa
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46awbmoNPD
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc721vLmoHc
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMp63FuVQi
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJsac6QPl3
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvua1YzuTM
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR76uaOCHAA
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHKnlShPsJ
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI4HNShcpS
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5UEa8WQ78
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWyxCBf3AM
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa71rzuJDe
"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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmok96ye2s
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpbFNnadEz
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWgMTZ5mDD
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVHKV1vlVk
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-"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUwSmhEFef
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDkEo4QWxa
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzhsc6w3CJ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrFleKBpUS
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGmRj01rpw
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqyFDE4yFh
"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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6clgw5VFC
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHtLubRZCL
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrwuin35KP
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7b94iyFZV
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJAZghcQ5e
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2IoIAW5gV
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoHnYZnlF4
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygDXQuCOal
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkDOVEakU4
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaLhpGePDP
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixV8R9HTP7
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Q53QeFjt
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE5qZBva9F
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRCKiarsL0
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtyVcoNzxG
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec39n6dDFV
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsB7vvf1E4
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh8vyyW6Bm
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlzOVSuFgv
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAQFBCUQdC
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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLMnoTSe1S
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwuOwUxYFO
"Try me.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU3oh67IIP
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MWoDxr9xd
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuCv121Fch
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE7S5iyaES
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBZggBPmE8
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyxUZXKzrv
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrumm0DTRdO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND4xzg8FRl
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIuYM8XMbT
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATn2yqzPZJ
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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6LgX1DJQc
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKTxrtPMv0
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTXQ8dEqjH
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgUfwW2g69
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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xpTuMmLwI
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp49G3gtNm
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas2ACKMDY7
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq39YXlHiNN
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9WAQSoVOe
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJadh5BcsL
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatC6fE64Ya
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGCzHniRa3
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLIWrvwsmU
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuM0AzVD1F
"Take it off, baby!"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJhzpH4H7c
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ODo0lpoUA
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5YNfXkECo
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMh3D5W9pP
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHk63X1iRC
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQVBXd0xq1
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39rCWlJHVi
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfxopp3umU
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTZuoMKVZw
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnlJbvMoq7
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRbU4V7yr9
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDta5ppphWz
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hi344nZpG
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxPR1e8HM6
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeHXvMd6Xg
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ItBGTQFE
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w25QRX8cz
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlIySChga4
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkw9te11z4
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWMLsFFBqY
*BANG* *BANG* 357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVKtfLiDp2
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YQC5HnckW
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk1OIhKCuJ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtzQBYxypC
"Turn the fucking music off now!"357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ZNvuSok9
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XSztg8eX4
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugGQ0PPdUW
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpCa6Ehkdi
"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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX95YjfIgM
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmRTnZgsTA
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmkrwfJvtZ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqpRzGj3eO
"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."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnFHESTP0c
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0ceMhyj3s
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzIwsJ9Ciq
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS300x7BMF9
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.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1BdBGEcNQ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTlRocSWIR
"Get up and go."357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScxMYhWk6K
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiF5bl0EHl
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAKtJQ3a6D
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChGU88wSAW
I'm so fucking dead.357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c8IZsuiRM
