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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO7JLb21el
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnNVhQhR8Q
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDem2zJVWt
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnrWecJIX2
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJiX7rOUiE
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchN83NulS8
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUy7viTIcn
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2b9O2kRCn
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjamArhdjRy
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaR24mmB5q
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRPlkxUVyD
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVt8Cj6mt3
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfbRRDOldU
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GWkHmqEdV
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSreKPRMFDG
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmZhBipjNa
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7qxNHtIuF
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oirzRZEnT
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosz4PVFhcu
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IDv663UrS
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jrEBQjXRI
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCPHSIrdBB
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcGWuQFtlW
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMWJbAkghv
"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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDtBQ1Z81y
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutbKX2oo0z
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENqrWcvK1t
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhCmDDwSZW
"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?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeanAzwGbEw
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0edJbGodD
"Okay, mom."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlJ7UVOs8P
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyMWhRDxoL
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6jOQ6q1nV
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk1wd9CIo5
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1adSW3bkc
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpVDD6avr8
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDyH3NwfR1
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDNXToZNXo
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel6KZ2frl7
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznyFFgdJAz
"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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEzF67pBeS
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LhI4krbkw
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEpyP2SVpH
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡago0w7hERD
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9kE34x7mo
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vd4vELVby
"Sorry."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67ttMpibjH
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi15x6jDVS5
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcEYGD1PSN
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0yIZAbqI2
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlmxRegSez
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8HN96w5bS
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwqZJcY07s
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwBlYnIrhf
"I'm not that bad looking."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8kXwX2duH
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyeej19Txh
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. 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YP0EXIEfa
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzAIluAYLe
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1cfByb4Nt
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYJEMZ81E7
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvXEXCElz2
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDHM5vzhOM
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy6QqAHgB8
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiROIWdR2Rq
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihgsh36qIh
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ahbmAKE2W
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHYxhK7Liy
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4TBLi7eSy
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSVvvBOfZf
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqkrOn2EcS
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoPY77PIeU
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0wOYe14yp
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ3H2FPg1O
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbk0r94nEw
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWnh0NXinX
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ50SjFD1K
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaU1SrulHu
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zbxgn7Xbm
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF33alFZkv
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TWCvoSd2y
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn76ZkF5bg
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYlvwh1s7Z
"I don't want to get into it."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjCgOuP2sr
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG7SeuX2IO
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuirSwpQDYu
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWtaJd07BY
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7MUzKpCne
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMIcAnUR3A
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgzI6setKo
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNlFYVjHih
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR8N7mcN3Z
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ainqXa3W
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaRtGJb7Tl
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFUQ6xrYA6
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul3l4uMznh
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWVoLLHFp2
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv6WCLr0Yi
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyWbu4kBnQ
"What's going on, Quinn?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM4ilW45ch
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV8vcXdb3t
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX3RlZgego
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZFxXIX7LS
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K8rbh8VqQ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVb9A8334K
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKnbbWkNnr
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxKN8F6vDi
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytdPc8bj3H
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSQPrK2PQG
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPFrG5A1HL
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHid9pZJLI
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93YXQLcUSr
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz897u54roR
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrrtj4Ch49
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sqbFOhIJZ
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uEwRoWZri
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSkCrHLFDw
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdxi6CdC1j
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2tbeNvmVV
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkxKkV0PJV
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40AcIB1Fbc
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa20E8HP7NX
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgofevDXRIv
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtAJPHYO3Z
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprRYQi1a1X
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtjMXYNSfg
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTypiILl7P
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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3y03gRvRU
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDuqKmrKwb
"He's here?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IysHgnH3f
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukrcf0H6mh
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbRuRjT6gP
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Btqh0S9Z5
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQF69W7jk6
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPmO2Uvb3A
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLutzuebcS
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf0FHFqZCq
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOqpQmu3I0
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeuw1e7Da2
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeZYIwQ1We
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGK0FWqAfR
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVqKde6GIe
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyRZ6YvfW8
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpgSduvqDy
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VO9cTWKFY
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw0agZDXKg
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqgZl9PUrL
_421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1qty52zLr
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19J3YXju66
"Keep up, Quinn!"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj2pneQWQS
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoUpEkA8pJ
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcBE81pF3k
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLk7NdaLEr
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1YInjG0p8
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ369F53caQC
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMNX25U5DG
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CNg8diBW9
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPgpLphFHJ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG79upstCXY
"Dick!"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXscC73NPS
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0jYYe2ViR
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0gC9ftFjt
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8mlbVL66e
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡissaiDX40P
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MeMbJoZPq
"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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy3g0AufhZ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4JJs1HRQp
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVtIIUN8iF
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8AcXaiZ1B
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wf9xdqqfT
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlsg8Gx6yL
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. 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAOU5ZWcam
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtAGFvzp0l
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMzVb5N8fk
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpHYI4VQB8
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjIfvN3BoF
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKZwGrfrsZ
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPiiY9xQuZ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9gWyZzjkl
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOuuL7z93c
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4hKJ2DHQp
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyP0WQ6I9i
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk20lmErmka
"You could say that."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSislKmnQ8
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H36x34rRd
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIcWIatnHv
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDlmpFtXJJ
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg4rPhWiM9
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoyzAilUOD
"Me too."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLM8cLEuGs
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE3CnmA9LL
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibUu1GuHIe
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUz6VTX9hu
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNcNCBJdQk
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQfIQ5bzUr
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca5scL6bgs
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mW0eEyI5l
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv5Gu8xqYJ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd5VMcWgT9
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpjz8MspGD
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ufWY2YX0d
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYWw8nBKBU
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhCdl9Xugp
"Money laundering?" I laughed.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XCLG3jReQ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VFfCf1LxU
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9efHUqhP3D
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vs1T20HvR
"Seems like a lot to handle."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZxVzgWUou
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcsP7HfyGz
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcBoE5pOMy
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPbzgFfM6M
"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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PuhbjKL42
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cpaOQATwa
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5rwCSpsia
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6PYh71fqa
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmQbc1PDpH
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jERKyOB3O
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2THcql97RX
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8moVjxKNv
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojxbZalxb6
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GvW3lXB0A
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7smiPsFU2x
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7hZR3qBoA
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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGiPQCOlDR
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZSeOW3Mkj
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtV5nEoVWp
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfQDDIEG6p
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgMCjoIJja
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P4JdJpcjV
"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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSbaeWZ0tp
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkIoRVE41z
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eZGS41yz4
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuD3L6vD8o
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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8DoIfhtnE
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHNAsWaqjN
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdSKbqlSnB
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm3S9sAfAs
"Are the two of you close?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDair9b4PZ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz8cd22fhw
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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8mVtDAiHt
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL54dTKcYS8
"What about you?" 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2xFPUilHz
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya3bIDYocw
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiwn9PxZ1w
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTOQ7YmLIR
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYOa6wDK0B
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiksIv6Jfv
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5gyg2m4XM
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquaEWRoWiR
"Sounds like the life." 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGbztNvj1v
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdlCGij8AP
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh4UuEk2IB
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvj5YhqaXr
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvRPDoxNeO
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbry8Xy02BX
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRBbeX3tH4
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMawu3ZxRj
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMZ5iYNcJa
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg21mWQ6bnV
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BIhfTkPwq
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySgYNHqCh9
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K4nYbJC40
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs84EmQHTj
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTbweNqXvu
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0EMxwFqpl
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnRZG8vnqJ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFyEF6wSFo
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkNwI2gXyu
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMM0mb8aL5
"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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFlZPk1Ax1
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq2Qjiw8Fh
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pnkee5ITY
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VSPlbN3Di
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-"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NfHuMOlJE
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfXnDTaGNj
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTI7APanRb
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBITqynzbXA
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplt5XlaHjX
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilvpoQr4Iq
"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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY5f8baHyC
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF568wAy4US
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TlapYTMxR
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvslA55thnM
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhJPZd5kYB
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTza20m4MF7
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltIFyI3liz
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS6xCUpiTr
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSpHjBaggO
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTZm3Ajs3L
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMq1mxLQTE
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxeKktyDhZ
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdoSRZvRVB
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTfwMSEP3t
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMY9UKwDIs
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJLHsENs8S
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CVYxOtYsb
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQET6ERJwIb
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq1UODfVwp
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQAXzSoNoZ
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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nXEaInZgo
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG72k96eStA
"Try me.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOvyTK2Zld
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChRhU3kmRU
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqloK2jMKz
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYBxZZtlqQ
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z29oehXcI
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS2lILJIUh
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9tNDD8tbE
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDAyQMjSwi
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLSZpI56rQ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaRgqFhV43
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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnmAx0nYjK
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXwDxnAK8W
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv6xhlpRsd
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg60UmezNz1
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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNGwNfH5Fh
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScIrzt6uWv
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyMs4zXytw
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sFbtn9rVZ
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlmZU6j98I
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqTfolV7ae
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnt7dTtI8z
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60t677On1B
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6omx16NK8
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1IFyO0XNt
"Take it off, baby!"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ZAQTgn2x
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1KjB0amDS
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwKaMzvHFK
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRPdc3T6P7
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoGucjnCFH
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhu49PCDaX
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuXxahZ9OR
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpad2Zbmu0
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4x3M8gJ9Y
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm3gdyg8Xo
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9usYhglDjY
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rbDNbSXf5
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCCTnqGgMG
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkzzN4Yive
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPc1hkVnbm
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghwfvE3ZH6
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjUgpVFNwD
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKPIA1sneJ
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSVFjOiR1a
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YMDNPAYgB
*BANG* *BANG* 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqJT0ir1m9
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnDaRjIldY
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH1uX4jzOE
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEndOOgAX9b
"Turn the fucking music off now!"421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1f76akvkB
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoMMSDnfVV
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNHc7hl4v7
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KOK6TGAS6
"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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS3FHjESfd
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9YEnBBXwX
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODn6pNSty0
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKfAHlFABm
"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."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp5XOxeAhb
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEXhQsehS4
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxEOXPuAeo
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMTpZKOpNd
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.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlwa1ti85G
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K1HaegCpd
"Get up and go."421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6vTirQc1c
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxgGVzymdz
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFR9oTaRaQ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7yhW1Ls8P
I'm so fucking dead.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZoRxqcbDx
