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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARv4noNZMr
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQIHt7nl8v
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtT3mFQWkP
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfTkDat4z9
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFywl1fEtnG
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1mzI6krR7
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBTVPzVkSM
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkEXGLVXTL
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uh3fV90HX
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYTFe2kdiZ
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGEDcJloDE
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZekxXzWoJN
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc8RaXoMBm
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyLtRI11Hb
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72cB4cVGum
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vAQQ8tuL9
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWQY2i0F0i
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR76gYi2LX
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUsUk7zwSS
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkQSK2g0kE
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdzylmbP1W
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlUMjsRHSV
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM9CgnFtMB
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuWOzPOw3y
"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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W4tEkQ859
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9GwcBIscw
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMLWqNvlIm
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVftS6tsPfn
"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?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CB4rYQXd7
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLFm1V2GXC
"Okay, mom."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB19euocyyS
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrvtJvREq9
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzQOrDWYtQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLjANUv1Rv
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgbgZcOUDQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F0w0N7KcQ
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBirGYfElJQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBJIrMIyb2
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mRo1Cy0lx
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iThvP8OF6
"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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCqYIeYFKY
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFJSn4zMx3
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24hLMjEGrf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8caR7nPD3a
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Yg01mXLv
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVdQevBDIv
"Sorry."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1suSyxLl87
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRyyMyqX72
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1NvxCwFoV
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Ctk5G2vB
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxK7XM7fG5
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbvItJO9S1
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebWI1op5Wx
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoAwlSo7rX
"I'm not that bad looking."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaWQMVDlLQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYggmmJm4L
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. 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSerz728Eb
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzsFgmGdUH
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa85r0Or1Uz
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0wbaJM4xd
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ7P1C08xq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3TGbLpvEF
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbu4OXFgbj
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtE4HQepi7
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMArgePvWSh
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChiALtHBVF
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgUO7nV1tP
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRPYSoHZcO
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLHDcg48hP
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeweqDMYZe
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9i0ARNXoj
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwZrguCiuI
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNL9Qcp7nm
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl73H2HBh3S
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkLY0Xj1xw
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvsqPyJbHi
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtw4Qy4KvO
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlJnYjSV65
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubf3OeahcU
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtpCmrD8bV
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi77qtMvpU
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTa0OuVSPy
"I don't want to get into it."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFYsLDyykM
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwVWuCOEp4
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetX82hZgUw
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxYY4Xxw3w
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUadpVyLc6
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfjxZ1fbWS
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZrbWxIjDm
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGpxMBbKzN
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ461ojOORt8
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BGovPI3EC
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKtjkqr2a8
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN2HSbLHSW
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxfQlLS8LJ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhcRXzmnSC
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueOUp8BcJm
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcrIoBGHHy
"What's going on, Quinn?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiu0q29bVL
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t5hNkKIl9
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXKSlJ4ec5
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJPO2xfygZ
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwv7lQIzyC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1WRdSkLAj
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDAC0qECIC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKrDgoeRgw
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXtdrWijRk
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhdgWbcGM7
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWFG7p6hcL
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAYhRtKoeC
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtm2wftaTX
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwHDyIzTF7
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r87Ueeuq4
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxq4N3JYwg
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2fj7Q2spq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsXdGkeEX2
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlAPIsCOdT
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse1us36XTZ
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbRZZI5HgC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqTRnAaVcI
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHuf3d0sQw
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZJLYWo2gz
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HaVLA4IPx
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuH9eFoyVL
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6UGBBMpmy
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvrxJllxEQ
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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjccIBBC9ha
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEmJ4PB5j8
"He's here?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TcVYCbRbA
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZm7fLQnfN
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oKPLTfN7t
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2uyxtIGq9
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UEBtfX5CR
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtCEPksvbV
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbUWHk4u5i
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDU4FO5rHg
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1jKR01TCq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGJvX6nBA0
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fW4tR4dfV
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdBePaRYyO
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvYBoZEDET
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0PqDu0Z8n
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vNqRVPuxw
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiY3Bb8x44
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeBM05LvrC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5FvheHBDH
_370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h45Zfdy56

"Keep up, Quinn!"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu95HczsCG
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdum0lBdlF
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSa6WI8Ouw
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNanQhPBPC
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuD1uwLBeS
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sKjKwDgK6
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLJ79jVN0n
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRcA1JN6ty
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkNIUYdjN3
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsp6GBnRKI
"Dick!"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLruqf4xd9E
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTzsmmlFn4
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZg0I2302v
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm7QOqlSGh
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCvlwX21gy
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jj1lLNoyO
"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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoDxT7TVP7
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVClc8WAi0
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67HZ8MH5Qm
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz47NjZmcQz
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu9sTdNnNc
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3DJQtRyHd
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. 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPr5hpcagj
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGyEGzdGjE
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK97ZO2kPo
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaDJkvgVSg
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgjD4opgCT
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyS1RJOjb0
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EzflfL2p3
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6JVOiXK4Q
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKta1kmNlk9
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW27OsQpGXi
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRkgsC42gT
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LwLhnCBo3
"You could say that."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd51Q4QAo4
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz76r2zHLwD
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7i9nWyU1d
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKyNSHA07d
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqyu7894es
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPfELX0gco
"Me too."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4MpfBjFAw
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg9UQnyF59
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj9OjY257d
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkl1kdlmAM
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwSotyRDQx
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uTRczAGg1
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5RNlh1YG9
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Cn24uL6P
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvtqKObU5P
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXHWxXvozp
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrCT8cWLKG
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffA0F0tCWs
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdKgbQX7Up
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQib4LQKdD
"Money laundering?" I laughed.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84L8wf4UtB
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIMvahBN7E
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgZVKLRsM8
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82WdOe5kXr
"Seems like a lot to handle."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWjKCnHlEa
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrpKMZPmmF
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx4bcgLOXT
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kkvGKGQo6
"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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOocF1J9iTL
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUIY8wU4ia
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wCEsTJXLF
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpaEEDbhPj
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsdwb1jlOQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJNMUpLk9p
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BY0FDAgVv
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl43bCD5elH
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5if5NqwBS
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N7vzY3TbP
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLtuAeDvn8
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP3sYbJjUO
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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IP2Wn5bef
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡostLZbveC1
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmlxGp7rkI
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LnrJiA6Nh
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1ul3KSHgb
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFOO2OzWbH
"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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B8wBzL2ZB
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1aQeQlLvb
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYF6ZjoG0s
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuTZQWmCcu
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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuckFhbZFbj
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEKbfXqJWb
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodaTli4VPE
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgINbBaPvf
"Are the two of you close?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1PlOYOWVK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OzXqt0BLc
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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbRhZ46DA4
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eGnrZYsDA
"What about you?" 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCLtc7v7iV
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fZm8PqUhN
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3dai6moFW
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm1KutbmsC
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR34BHfjcvI
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0bpfiW2gf
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK84LGZgb2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpM0OmLtwI
"Sounds like the life." 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJDC2HqV4X
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN40oACW0QO
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc1g1aWZdb
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgKfE8366t
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4ucmqXgyk
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkJMuN7gPU
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KuWGvlfqK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgvYNsFgWS
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxmzM9V0nR
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8DWjtcBQI
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡird1xKqlys
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX4jGHLTlO
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Doegf20z
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceLO8LFdQ9
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPGHXJ55Kc
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs37vIoFujP
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wUnU5PfTo
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiJGofpZnQ
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvVLpJhxbu
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5rNCXPJzm
"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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqubDUbPIbB
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd9sk29dmZ
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJivDqjrIR2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr0gqQbQTt
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-"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8N1R2sx0J
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4bQDrJGrp
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNNSXIayto
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRD4ohYk8M
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6SprKs42x
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WkirY48jL
"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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRTIfVqh1N
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAU6pj1H8b
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtEwpUUlod
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mHlLPs4hV
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7lcERbwdA
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsEVJCfLxW
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Ltm3oq9W
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dvv3OSWqa
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvfhbdXGMu
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppSITVz7CW
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Fb0SQZlX
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG6AT9l7lF
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSDez7VJfq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYky8Q3oQ5
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUkyYRQl0D
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6zuJvu5HD
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF5dxvvk0O
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh3m0RAxVN
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB0mQwUSp5
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh6AQgAyeo
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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lzLecWFna
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5lMRPu1J6
"Try me.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Mgi6SvIa
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud2ZiSs7K4
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1QpvSWw21
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4cLey6WdT
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j2fkFnh3K
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoPJ3Ocpko
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOdSEhaJr2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8v8psUSMH
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4IXTl24NC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uABrDtzSC
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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdySQIG2tX
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj3fUcGmwz
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa6l9nvmbq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzE22pwTx7
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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaQzZOwjsc
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ732yJD1FfU
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXWIL6xAHE
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ylsHjneJ
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN8jvaYtPI
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwsAp3dnat
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q6lK1Fb5w
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICk1s47sC8
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjdqAixUrb
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFatEvwWzJO
"Take it off, baby!"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFp6uWM1hM
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPdHQ24Hb4
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pW16BLT7V
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2vAZE36ZV
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTAUPsqgZR
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNnsNbCVki
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H2ub9gjeZ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S3lGuBxjx
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoYBqXGQwB
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIyKnr2K6q
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AlOxMyxqI
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiJu8spmrT
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx02Z603odX
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen8r5oqjNo
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkbRhPKvSk
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn87W3NDh6i
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT0wGREQ7k
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbL9dlnMUQ
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasY1USQSHf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6M4qjorZw
*BANG* *BANG* 370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Q4aThjIy
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA8t5TJxoZ
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKTjdfxlQ0
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcptulI8KEW
"Turn the fucking music off now!"370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN36y73541N
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRP9Wv9lMu
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVba2rfNoKN
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gEqPgpM3e
"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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWriJUQizf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Fktl4bRs
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1AdLlYm10
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigqEplVTK6
"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."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzlsByreAc
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FOCwsQz2W
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfry5QUrNCH
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3XkU1QwFm
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.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD06UpuYnO5
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVmeFF4NxL
"Get up and go."370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDu2rFewcf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVoIlnVSwL
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qRhuLE2aQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu8it9qQMt
I'm so fucking dead.370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfdfmdM4jL
