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
