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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgJof4bjCV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3y9jPbuYU
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYqHCwCJg4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEhUZQllTN
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQLvJl0WWf
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE424UYSpV
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3GpVch2m4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T6Qeg0ABX
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIB3sjw09C
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbDwNrsg5v
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhdSlKAQMq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk2BEvMAjX
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vsQviiBFC
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvriB8IiYHv
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbYLVbQhqC
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmk2THmpES
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiWyUSflK3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFmDXAX4J1
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1W0lR2hKr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXPH9SzVGN
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKAkxBDTdv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV2o2GqQfW
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDArjLkKBj
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ew4aQyDTh
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxOPc94BQb
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEI4IxYxpQ
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC65xmVqrq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y9v9VreXY
"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?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bnA52HZUB
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqRWckxpSc
"Okay, mom."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuhjx91Pju
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ha9VXhXk
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznRh2OEOM5
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6icfKM2ZJK
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wSUIt2ize
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviJueFZxVC
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85uMv9NgIQ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtwwDQJ3Fp
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FH3L1Yk3M
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZG3HAuQeW
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakS8XCHguV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB8mw95Rn3
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBQAiY85Af
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyXSqOQKbl
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23CJitSwya
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLB0Fd9UNl
"Sorry."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5RdtHJBBR
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5J3idgTRq
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJpAzKb9Ix
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVchsWbxT9
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsVvvaY4Tv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx05uSuZPos
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahVzv0d2ZV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWQA386VhF
"I'm not that bad looking."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL8fKErCKh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovnalB6Hoy
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. 361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZmXlR8BeL
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q8ZgSAErw
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8gdnG6OD2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLNKzadiD7
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5IGV1K2wN
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ359ar4rkGY
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NguE5cPL6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1jsFTb0hW
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X3lF8Azf4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDXnAclD36
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFicBnGK7w
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7l1lV8gLL
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iZV0NvW3z
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8dI9864y6
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38j04XFq01
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6zzAOxX5c
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn1alNeHsJ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5XazDonu1
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfT0yz8qkS
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOHKUQUO3o
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnKgsFqC5g
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTAnW0o921
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAEZklaiyC
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZbo9k6Ave
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVDBacYjI2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY33uvAGDG
"I don't want to get into it."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Is8MsmFUA
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYWD6aP5LD
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV7xhR2TKa
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoVCLqOoW6
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskhGisfwKB
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPKxXF0hyN
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobqejE9g3w
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINjzrNzF5P
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrs2rWSDFg
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqUUNcqif9
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QiiaJCnI3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EAW6r2MXm
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx59Bo3sUne
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiCwVUHQAX
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6eCLtAPTp
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7g7Pbbn4N
"What's going on, Quinn?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFHTPx8dKo
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvTtFoyhWC
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2D7tDbb4z
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVU5rozUkA
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMDxcl8WYP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUBSL81VLu
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5vwtFJwmF
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWA3ycxtDm
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gzlMjz0qo
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWrVOahwHI
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcufdErZKry
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5UwAf6YXU
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzmAExpqe4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL7lMbNlls
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwpIKAKVEF
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W6DhzBNjA
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSjgNbFJHW
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKkM4by1w6
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8L3fgDctV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWrKNFiByO
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcRvkRTceX
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGCpxQxyLg
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHc1KJqjJY
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKukP6cZK4
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAgQzbNoWg
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN5RSKYReV
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnA5iQOzUF
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsa7Z0J1CW
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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPdoAui0IU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslPKkDfmto
"He's here?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMVifo9fmL
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpFhvPCvYm
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CEERJyQIZ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDP3WIUw1C
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPDKXmSpsj
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQJTonKXsw
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUKfk54x0p
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vY9bJCdLH
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FCyWOVYZJ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgnw1CUNez
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1eb7aduHm
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PB6OoSrlU
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUiKP9XT0V
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmovChU7obh
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcEjbNeILj
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQghMhHfo3
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUvRq13X7I
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT7BbkFeqI
_361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS6bW9SkHQ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0coBJg25ri
"Keep up, Quinn!"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OTKMkIkdC
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSROO2OxZJW
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXg5PXAzPM
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkBL1dj5yp
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFdVuUoJlT
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAiQdbDheM
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK5ldmfVZE
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohyxpqFaJ6
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijPSgzLDMM
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYm2b9HDAR
"Dick!"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3nkmKY2Zf
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDRw4rRCTM
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP2LF9FkOW
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rgPszy7OJ
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1ofSJSDOw
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHGULViDie
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qv9W7IyHa
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh7ZcZ7dfJ
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU9IvUxJgu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlsdfJxUz9
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgxVTwCONe
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvE5zdKGwO
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. 361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAOJ4PSsEW
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQn4OvpUXc
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WmocQWLrE
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0D7b5gsAY
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdcTniJA7s
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKpdLUn9JJ
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS9Or3GURv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSKCOL5OZs
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKDk5nhRrh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj57pmBkfqQ
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPMzIzJKNd
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcnwW8ci6L
"You could say that."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8W4N6cHcq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQaqTfsrGK
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkXWtIEwUP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMQLrQXTN2
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimeovH50FQ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaYUsLQOHf
"Me too."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXiirtMqgx
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb6ghPyZH0
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1OfmGhd4e
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDPRkvZh06
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RmCvqZ8rb
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIs5lSsEGy
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS75685X4q
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzHFfBnBlK
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNDyWuuJza
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0k1deEdqN
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU1t08kcm3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l3Q3xK0FW
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOuPnzzs90
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaztqG2p4ab
"Money laundering?" I laughed.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7jW8swfM9
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNw7yBvt2T
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbNMN0OyBZ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbe5yeY6kg
"Seems like a lot to handle."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nn4g6li5n
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ413fTISxvi
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP6MtVXTlH
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYse0H0smE
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3X8823GdG
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuRP1OxOOW
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP6DFCLghW
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFWFsDIqiv
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8KfmHeq9y
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMMoVIiq5S
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6CAOJ3H5L
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVVeQ6ot5F
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotKYWk5hhy
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2KhfcujPW
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jY6cCR0XH
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns5qq2yQXQ
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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewlIYYfmkk
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hmp2ZqBLb
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoTypDyNdo
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s4cOacOqk
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC96BZKTWL
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9lTMh3Z6z
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgSQycZYAm
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Gw45Cwfx
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBbgLtCHiH
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm86w2JPPj
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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIuSAk6VbZ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVCGHwyJaT
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rbEOstWSJ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14fv5OwQkl
"Are the two of you close?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9DXq6PHlh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1Af1XJ91N
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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO7qENHDaU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM00GaA1kC
"What about you?" 361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2DFA4J7GY
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVR4B1pjiH
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz0BsJgWca
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L6OUmzo0M
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1XK2kxFMU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL48dmN59b
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqoXDOUjV4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFdr4yqtT6
"Sounds like the life." 361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9VIUOylch
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2PgIvckFf
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU8bmRQHgA
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XzRFgUSZt
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv62s7Nl7u
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm85yiLsZ4c
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MDOgcc9H2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEyO6ifQQa
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCQAq5KuUb
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92w1QxfPYI
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q2wKALN9j
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj50UZc1rOq
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHyt8fQuNl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlngcDo2J7Z
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTI46Wuf3m
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqN3etqSsE
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqeXAfAiYH
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9CwHMoouM
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3wIqCxqMB
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlnHaSDp8N
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhQKB45VZ8
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlNP9ZNPMx
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KzL5qMBy7
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLd1pzqkcL
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-"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGO9lbmt4P
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7ARgBeXs0
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx6KPwjRAV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPN0xCihvV
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylUzBegNlN
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90r1F7gsAa
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbbPVFH8QH
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn7W2qcxm3
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm19TZ6ryTy
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMN02dKs4c
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9FfZTHJAs
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHOx1dTbBt
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ZIaMMJ0h
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V08wuiCJy
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiMdtFchHO
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVKqxHwAO6
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dBsBfAg9N
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8kLKUp6bY
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpw0OtWa2y
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd11oQquo3I
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qtyVhlW7G
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbufDqpczQ
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfRRtnxKxU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiYNmVOFjr
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJroxIQ89p
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtSeKoWh6y
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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq2XMT5M7V
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHpigVgeL3
"Try me.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW5tspJR4t
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4XHq984sx
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwDdAu6j68
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd76f7bCom5
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK1jtwOkJ3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmr6iylzvS
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKmAcV5uHv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2DCefSOAQ
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq2IDABmyV
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx9NVaandb
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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6WDBhTyUu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVnrnY2NDl
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3jmNID8Ya
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwTiU1Jtyu
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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FSMW0NXal
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5J37KAOe5
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgznnqJk6JL
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTdfPLX5np
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dXMvGtwNS
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeltmv0FrwN
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uiPcEJ3Gi
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR4zp9leOQ
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIHCETEWRy
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIUa5Lvomy
"Take it off, baby!"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN1YpK4KCt
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lx3mpI8Yn
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyBLRjOjkZ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UK9cacCuP
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQltzIZtNnP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQTR6tOgZw
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4L8ijIwrh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmwLmF8bZZ
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqPcFeb8ZY
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki5FZRuZso
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgig1PY3bg
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHyG7X2Rne
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60uPjlzprP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbnsON2DTv
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpBwHweB5H
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs7B5AW8pY
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWBeRfgZUX
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX3hCHynxd
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqD1mOj5i6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHetByfQDqE
*BANG* *BANG* 361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciLHtYqOJz
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDej8eublFs
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPqVmRApME
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyREzJeIbfb
"Turn the fucking music off now!"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ChzROhcPU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3uqohHoT9
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvCcbuNZxn
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmu9B3BM7y
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBReUJaPdey
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i8le49Yzh
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT7zOIvWJ2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKup9fqSPn
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUXiUfcrii
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0nJCAtyFS
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiUz57QnOA
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDnPEDuM6b
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KENTuash8
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6COrlGBLkp
"Get up and go."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fgiPauFKK
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5BfwY6Q6m
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0mxSTaNej
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqC7exiW6H
I'm so fucking dead.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGXlyK8qP0
