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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp4l907XWm
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7gfyYmxU9
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERrJltMl29
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGWDZP7uDQ
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlogD0BmyK3
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ikv9iksGj
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3ZdN3NZlM
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUAmhCgFDy
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd2NZchTSh
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Jfd5UgVv
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qxzfbMhOB
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIae5xCvfhv
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWu3TwhIIz
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6GKGnXAPW
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4OMh1ymd9
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshub0h35AY
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk6L6ovN1g
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zbir2SYwv
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfn6JmLTFb
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxZtBdbXwF
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W217uoc3m
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp12p1BC1aL
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo79Tc4BI1C
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3xVHjRDfn
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiUalEHhlU
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUEqvW0skf
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTehaHAwoLj
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLJlQEiA2X
"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?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHX2NNIDGR
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydiZUPIMzl
"Okay, mom."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oyGgc4x3F
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI8bCCkVie
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ED6BOsrvj
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMPfRD5dEV
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQOEnxhTBj
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSNCmyWRX5
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2xpdMqk2d
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡounbSAWoRi
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy857xH5Wx
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnE0t7Z2oB
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV0Gjt3ofq
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvqS1fmCyx
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ts2gapfQ9
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR9Z7yAGQj
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31LuKn8Noa
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l5PgqoN18
"Sorry."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxei3yUU0rK
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXVVLHEoXA
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5PcBRbzTZ
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEigELxd8Sg
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YHMZLTzed
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjR0sv8crs
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDnNcbgT8i
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ390Oh5VR1u
"I'm not that bad looking."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSiRMOURuT
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jDWsk5NIb
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. 467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOfmpFPl9H
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq99R7nPuob
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWPe7sOSes
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSMgnbgToU
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDQteF8RHe
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLxL0mlzKX
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxow9dk8dF
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabpoJ8NR0i
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYz0ljwYG3
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKQrl2GLXm
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHIFXCJzND
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOdTPSNAsD
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7zPHwpbEr
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntbuVo2Ewx
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1UJvkf3rT
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHgWGmg9Qw
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtAk6u0W9z
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT84ZeTbYTi
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTjOlMZEpC
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LatuqSYdj
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvBZ501MN7
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pWgdLxhwX
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhbHm5uvgE
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8vFMf9KL8
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV2RcCiOBO
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD7MNZ6cUV
"I don't want to get into it."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHhNWckMT6
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz4EFSgsMB
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC5mkxhcRY
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuE5LS8F4y
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGyRZor6zW
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuFcun90ZA
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU8zsxvLJh
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKBFjS28GG
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkohFzUni9
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RfdwH7ydU
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdVhkuLLjd
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYzFklb43D
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq45xOqqZne
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVpwI27ASC
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U94wjxYBL
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDIRA3VXDP
"What's going on, Quinn?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5uoDoVGr2
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aWVqIdgUm
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7795NC3X2o
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUAYnf5PKI
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGLyNIuAkA
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKQkVhFt04
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHGMUwlolq
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOezjYd0gnZ
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyuxo7F6P8
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jFebW7re3
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKFRM9RNRa
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEWRflzsx7
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExRsTINe8L
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N4LzjDvrt
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pdDcUpuch
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJL0tBRZYk
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2iMaTwKL0
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAPaEbnFx5
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HLXA7Dmff
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSZIPLaWGK
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpMruSZHqG
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdmJHOGvIY
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi7r71MfnZ
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgtnacGevZ
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPTSPx5AQ1
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ahODtbia
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0DKt7TY7n
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthwiwkYzMN
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy10uFCOAA5
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnZwCDZboY
"He's here?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2zdog6rkO
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQzVmaqeQ1
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnUwdwJ6QB
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbkfjKLtf1
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznQP8DKGnP
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sFvs0mE96
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mfnF2chtv
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJUJcER8BN
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QPQ6GBV6x
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObSfm2xowK
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtxVWQTKa6
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdNvhnf8Lp
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas1kEI5dPA
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMTW8j7jCK
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bl6GJrxTw
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvoWrOBaQq
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCKuQAxtNs
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBXZv1csD1
_467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvNUb9mxsA
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxlPU0lWZf
"Keep up, Quinn!"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7AQsSSQ60
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryp8nAZz08
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXMD5vtZkQ
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi85vZ35P2I
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT4angAzLG
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0exQ9EHFw
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL99Tmq5Sv
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdrAYFSj49
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vCI57IKpJ
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPIGto3dg5
"Dick!"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN0VfHos11
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p5QQ6osM8
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm2Jv3WPi0
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpaE7Gh2MD
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF29LWLFcD
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42rZiopukn
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mssT4Mb9l
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueLD9As18d
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSNY5QaPYq
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXpYcvXDCw
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDkhkKzcmw
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3TkZllqBz
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. 467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjg1myeyR2
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JujrDgnXA
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Iay1mrbQ
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWJf0CxZhc
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCVZ0qPZg5
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR93RVQafu
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVX3EflZWS
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL06sSDi3o2
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89hbCgyCix
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFZAhvCVM4
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUTucW8Aog
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTdGlttjzD
"You could say that."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLzF1munAf
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe9esbKSRt
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ7xcDThlk
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIcl4xFIH1
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOk9od1aW2
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTxbUNxCqe
"Me too."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmplbeV8HI
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Oif1ykle0
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUaM3uzBHM
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw0l1AgY0j
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuMTdpczER
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikEYqoKKF8
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHJqG7lq8E
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZypmKg22i
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBs6KbJlq9
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtWXnyQsjf
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKIbQJ4Tvy
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAm7yhwrMS
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsNiApIVOV
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ9YTHpqVb
"Money laundering?" I laughed.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXxQpdNiJq
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ283yldsfr5
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5P36cDry8
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh69stVrlC
"Seems like a lot to handle."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxicZFUnLK
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4APu9CGWg
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzznjRHMab
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF29eEeFjCF
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPabPmfo11F
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59bY5r3EVw
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvMU1Eov6z
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyic99ERlpY
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSseK2GqJ8
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3b9HP3wOo
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9TookErQS
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoVoKBL68I
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3Qgec5oz8
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ867PHvfAAY
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi3QnaIpqd
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRfEc81DsP
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQYKQG5CP9
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WogAcnU0U
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsgbPzcmAO
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEGKF4Dttc
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLQpIavMgE
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYnwZvOBuc
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6fQRRMBbY
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtTMpg0v6T
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NMaMQwdpc
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4b2nZXNWH
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNjWtiHENP
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHCgv6EQS4
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwj27RST1X
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo211LoS3Vl
"Are the two of you close?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmep5vBJHlj
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rXIfKO1pW
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4spFBtJLWk
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jq7LlXKkL
"What about you?" 467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPotnZMMPp
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBRX5H2Ls7
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURpOjb7H5u
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4437YFgRZG
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrJejMkLuz
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVunB9NOIw
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qJiBtNNJg
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqNIO84kk5
"Sounds like the life." 467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8zSFCqSEB
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EYZ2zSQXT
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wi099jEpo
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFpbdCleJH
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOfb1CZXXi
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86vtbfvbmi
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlFxeV4bO1
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfXyqnCtSx
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ZzpDrj0y
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo1TOtCDVw
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HQqqirALP
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBW8Lyimak
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rFgsYpSiy
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOXyuIxB1u
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Q1NvTQYD
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINMvweBvGa
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3XqhdlDgp
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQry9ohXaDJ
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uk4Jmw0Of
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVdJsZt2bm
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAotgHSBQZ0
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4CZaqXQB8
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXsQKNYfel
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcw1lPy8Wc
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-"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuv8g4indK
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwO1ZMMn6m
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnhPbkfaAk
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRiXriUAM9
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU18l719KR
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLuDol8IUY
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV9Z69t4Ko
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx9T1OLmrt
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTVrQk7Ayy
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPBzun9TCr
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74nncmDlrj
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpibDqRoMEk
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoiCQosCw0
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbgzFy69Zp
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtMuXkgTiu
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasnSWtfzzy
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uuRNPw3JQ
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pBmjZl75w
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPXRDXPAHm
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNSd5BUaF9
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NCoLiSIG5
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOm3rpGIV0
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTNAJTpb6e
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV7VK1AVXw
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoThPquOQ2
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgDzERnpnd
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYzlW7UxZ6
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zzEObg3yV
"Try me.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzRMJJHfcI
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiROvITv9WE
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgRIXVnEki
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiurQh5BZS
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMOkotsTlE
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZXdmATO9C
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DrMPIMwVd
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoW8SCJGtv
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeLVldEjET
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIFElM9f54
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGpfkYee5x
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62a4awmEiN
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPwIsoavik
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR2rRsZk3v
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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxCIf9Gkjv
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwxD2YTder
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VGbXFUDQE
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvJdrW9u3L
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDry3bm4YU8
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm5sThRSn0
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtmQ9LiRxE
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmehdIbFdt
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nGClacWnz
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIXpl017oL
"Take it off, baby!"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRdDKlLyMN
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf2HECdAJA
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvZt8Ijn7w
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EirKYKz3u
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4Melpflz0
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqI8qOA4zY
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVATtEY6zn
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhntv6bW5gW
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlUaAHFUh5
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE2cScEs0i
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYW83Uk4fz
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8eEoSrBKX
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgQXIAfaQl
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5kz7MYqLj
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTa7mqYlv5
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy1jyJcnxB
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpcElhem4W
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6wkWMa15h
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuW9jntma4
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcJya7NyvH
*BANG* *BANG* 467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsJLdYMCrp
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5KhwsD3z1
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO73YAWtisp
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMIz0MMAxs
"Turn the fucking music off now!"467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCngUOGkFv
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR8bI7Ovjd
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DoCaCNiJp
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LEARPsV95
"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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlqIaYgp12
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1qdAJ9hym
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNs98non9G
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF1ZHEEPv9
"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."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEX9UsCrod
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdkAl4nEEb
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWY7xA0lRD
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiegs11a8YH
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.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUq0qPgM3f
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4hXJ0TEfk
"Get up and go."467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJcbQXXG9v
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5WGVy9JQh
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNvRXkDiVP
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfnhAylTrc
I'm so fucking dead.467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCZjT49il6
