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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rVzJoelAq
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMugsh8DHm
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1g9XNbfyx
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc8xPlxHjD
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeCFl4UEDh
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrJX6AnVZd
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeOFBPuJOi
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2CFaxA6nE
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50itj9YBgx
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBNx3GvfHl
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX3DbBcxkb
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSzscJ0tj6
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fAHTOxmUx
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHbVRdprek
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNYiHuiPVb
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOOjxS2YcZ
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUWlLuLkWY
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkhqrIolBf
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSikIyfqkv
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMBRPdEqys
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uyp6E8puW
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6nTMLmpTV
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYtiWxi8bq
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkfFeTHPZp
"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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aRbUbVbUC
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZDx4JOyha
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GKaonAECQ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUXECStujC
"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?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nQuO7BoVH
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqZnJmfMrD
"Okay, mom."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86e2Ha1UQ2
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL2tioiasl
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnImNgY6FSY
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovWDVuaR1V
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PmMRdBdPD
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJVRL2Qeg4
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiODlSUERPx
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp0M6RsVzg
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ci3RH4bY9
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpPSmTvAiP
"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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCnDfvH5ze
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDqRphfeng
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LJkHYEWOE
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQqd4fsb2h
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIs0JZMK8f
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQNcO4ApDc
"Sorry."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsEtmdKKyb
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMc6KWGY78
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhJxKwwxDP
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA79UpFR3H
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcSREGTf5F
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgsEaDK3HC
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s9YcvyBJv
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhzhPH9a7r
"I'm not that bad looking."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Qo8U01nP
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe2bilyIjw
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. 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCKacLnzyp
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5t6LdbjJ3
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiRIZXrsum
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkDVRfrsRd
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudJzvr608A
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrfdlCn34S
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SFRKlYeDy
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjqxW9Wn9V
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmMr8qEytW
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ6Rga4RpC
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RsK5XrJWI
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvCcNGmTrg
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpN350uJwC
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmPmZYG1dk
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8jTHBIiWP
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PPyIvYSZa
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2i8xVKXj8
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM43wJyGt1
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzNCQwg3ao
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0N3rRZEiG
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3of5FuywtP
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtfGrJoKM8
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKuyzOr2W7
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxTKKOw3r3
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58KC5CyFdI
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA33ZV10yvG
"I don't want to get into it."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWjoYDJ3ep
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevGj647bNQ
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1KSzuDqzu
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tke1mGNOy
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtJa43T1FN
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RmhD4gNLq
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSVd90fzBF
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBehH24tXd
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HzOnzD4FE
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOFsctf3WY
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkSJV6SyD6
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD8vPGMh1x
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ7dNm1sGX
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZgxJbX6Fx
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mau6GN8S2
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmhceYTcmx
"What's going on, Quinn?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw7tF54zEu
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4fdRuC1FZ
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P9okeoGNs
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8Z3EXSwhf
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsnDcBVgEG
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAqMb2R7Vq
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUokIUtWoYL
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmW7LjRu5a
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc4GVfYsDC
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVo7VYEU1W
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI43err0ya
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpqSxGV0oJ
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3euZav56S
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsvUXPYOFu
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzuujCj0LZ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UGuAVoVY2
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqmuzcMlMj
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2FRzhn1RC
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKqwLSJeP8
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQAQZF3PX1
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Mp8oB4D6
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6AyAHvvQt
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cTfhzt5ls
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tuHU826QS
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqlXd7WPbW
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lneRRr1Hg
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPkhKdHhpV
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q50h5N9Tv
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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKImQd9W9J
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEDy73KnVC
"He's here?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhvpUmiUBu
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTDo83vpZi
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jzHTNF1xV
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8xGg20a2v
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLtDtSSl1n
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86o8cotDRh
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRqa4gY6CR
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC9ehGhj4B
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6YlzPc13p
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTM1adAWR6
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90c1Xo8dbt
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa6dO0Y3Ib
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJzFc9iZN4
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDg0iKaoEY
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ6CJs9rQX
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjnjJX6x4G
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcWAvPMMuk
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F9i0KUsI9
_345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqaxjmihR4
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJZC20Ksg7
"Keep up, Quinn!"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqRdzGLOoR
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRi3OC7FTS
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZkbZiDx8s
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BVANZ6Vvy
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFeSBuS9DX
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BY2ChplgL
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IzIqKzbZq
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRXg4f7SJy
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4FcKEJsex
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGNCkmgpV0
"Dick!"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyi0JWlybI
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Zms71cSg
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD7SD8mIj9
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pfYSOVEkm
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ZbcGCq6H
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCPp7geOFi
"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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWE9x3T3uZ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eF7oy2zbq
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuglPgwQszm
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY00pEKTFS
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54fdvEfaXq
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW91zcfGLSX
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. 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEwXaZLZye
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrIlJc1neY
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwts55ZDq0
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznynh9bCR3
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQkl3HR6oS
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlBhUnGgDE
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGxz73Kjgj
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbLLfnC0Fg
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvpYrMwnK1
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMRJMwwfXf
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FmIymAQMK
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO1U3zDABe
"You could say that."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AiQNxiDbp
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptMQk7qEpx
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn56kKchF6
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTd1jTSi9c
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtb0q9mgrc
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVHKfMsv7s
"Me too."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh2TYtAK25
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu0x7MPl6v
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTAZFOQomp
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzBe4YzvjN
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M17XjNF9G
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAezssOdfD
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOR4n0VvWW
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhOvgXW54A
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxTPQe8611
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06unzY0iBy
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwFZpUR9Rc
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WarKHPNRO
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYMbQUkKzA
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaqpxeKFtK
"Money laundering?" I laughed.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87bo604hIk
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hdVcsqH7D
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH6R7oS6Fm
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLFdISCL6M
"Seems like a lot to handle."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBiZxBcXnC
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWuWKX5Jc5
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5W57GV34p
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukRo6nieDy
"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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM94a2ZgLBi
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpMgN2HIPI
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCRUvTEroZ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuKRFeiH6B
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0jq222b3U
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX9ySdTbjK
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRMdv8nk4Y
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0kY58HS1V
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLFtpo1unJ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeYMvAEylv
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHafguYUug2
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0xiS8HyY0
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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN0lGv91LW
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyv1pYuhCF
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfDyvnloft
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCFWBsM8ie
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySaebicATh
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEbvnaKTRh
"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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JhLG5GTxE
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO3SRnQ8Ty
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeC4DOA2jo
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo2l0xXb0E
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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaarAuRc7dr
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OFifA8p1E
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdARy1eFwc
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe81292ymR
"Are the two of you close?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoFIWBHSWq
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJZXkcf2pi
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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dkwpwJtRN
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGKFKPbnD3
"What about you?" 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZV0cEUiXC
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnYOnhDCFX
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdcWr7HKST
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIrz4cEfWP
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQStbpjxyR7
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMteGuPJp6
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgWqvr7a6N
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRFKF6AQmD
"Sounds like the life." 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymosuB88GF
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqGDEDT79s
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu1hNqlF0g
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C5JtT9YJB
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDpWR0JB75
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX81ujJw3c
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCkDGjFZ8P
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s5btWimtl
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wnGFdt7kr
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklwPxUJNMn
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetJz6mtQGM
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jgydoVRw7
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfjnt68zUK
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH7qyXIgNf
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm7J0rfv2F
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCURsFB3Y2
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfaVMEBpj7
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HAVwgUQQ2
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTadxc6ugky
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kryLJaQUd
"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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzian5s7Kqe
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIG4vkkLAQ
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMfQ67D8Ct
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1uND4EZOL
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-"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5M3wq3TIb
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ddazWB2jc
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSyRqJDcFY
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHOQIMRjJm
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtciWegstSi
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoyMlgJPwP
"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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAmUUq1a3M
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShoqIZtkar
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccAagIXrBU
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG94aKeTqb
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWacrK9pg6
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpr7jk1PBA
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvMRtzOHuU
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1pOOhSQKn
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gsk6GFLkk
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrGQkJ68lv
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fa04IsbW7
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRLXCZxuOn
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNqrY9Scxf
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttjGK3H3gH
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKZuQnbHff
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpZFQdUk6O
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXCY6RpVeO
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59v80QLCPu
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxOQQQh0ZP
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHLlGPj5ug
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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JS9Vlqaxk
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirOWYvGiwD
"Try me.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTlYneA21K
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwug6ZNkVS5
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFYAXGCEP0
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1g2JTjlfx
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mPzWGTpqW
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhfpCD3NhW
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjRqWyjdCm
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9xZhDODv6
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDettPnR3ES
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA0BHbSyQl
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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmwmeMgMCM
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLjwDrnyhY
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98TyhRBMYD
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tz9ueFGym
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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ155Fo3nDbY
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z8JkDAAEC
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH95As8Tmzi
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGbzJpNfKL
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnQ3IKBEkl
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuyrkAR8YX
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb9pdVxoFT
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9pty7ZAV1
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQfh0mFv2U
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSgCPoVSF7
"Take it off, baby!"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxW9QDkeWR
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHgyQcyXpe
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAzydZ88cG
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDc8B2L9kR
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZma3BYaE36
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYjvxiuj3Y
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaeYHPi9Bu
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBATVlYiRyX
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEggMSmP4ju
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlsQHo9NrZ
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeXvjQimKc
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Fp8mgOnq
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmiX40d1FZ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK31TjsZgum
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndvVGeHAMt
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLDNWJIg2w
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfteiAHGR3l
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd64BsJETEe
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3HFjNe8bJ
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yYGvUYKoi
*BANG* *BANG* 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd2XmnH8Ud
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3DO4N07LK
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsvcggBEtA
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP5xW7lJ4t
"Turn the fucking music off now!"345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvac1x2dNY
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27NkoRtXKS
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIJpOR9xhv
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YenY4QvJ5
"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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUWxGNzhoz
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rH3gMa9Lr
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2ahoW6jUs
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfTwurLw51
"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."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsK8jOQATl
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqGZ5rzGL7
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLTjWnm5Xm
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaDOGsEMdo
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.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM3zMI9b0H
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwTe5EeDuy
"Get up and go."345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEq1OtMbML
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI9ZoIQN1u
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4JL8sBbBL
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOw8udfBTy
I'm so fucking dead.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNER0rhBcdO
