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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvOmXtL9WE
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQA1sJppzD
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75I1mCxj0J
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5kwm8p92p
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExdSMROmaB
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk96qloYHE
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpZt4oK8MK
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuUPks46tv
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsS2lmXWGU
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTTb2hSlP5
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72FUsqtQ2u
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli0enqrHnC
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0xPBqk33r
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIqEnH5rYS
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaFDR24bBX
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKcn08EIYF
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuCvCGZRCM
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR004Y9Te3
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41UztEWfUb
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCuBYwT88b
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m0oTR8IVf
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScvIhqmHjm
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvYFSsboSy
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc50znmpPZ
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCIi5W2POt
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYjtUU4ueG
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYYwWTp7rj
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx9yjWOdVi
"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?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzQagGNIE7
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pG4jM5ZbB
"Okay, mom."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDugPvbykGZ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ulfrwxBwF
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPqh62BGrn
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVBYPy4FZQ
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7u2leS9I3
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FzECQ3tKU
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ymMPABxaQ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt3g1sxcCN
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia2CiuCISU
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4lL3iFB8a
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNTrrx11ev
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKKgI5CyeW
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXLBapUfP7
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIW171EHY5
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DEbKwBNyw
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQTqqLjhi3
"Sorry."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdipLthE6OK
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodZrD14RwP
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhwzn306H1
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWVV4MT11K
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnNlGBDXkk
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfeNe9A3gc
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejb3pl0L3L
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqqhzM6YLv
"I'm not that bad looking."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oYZGk8Q6F
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi9FBmLnPi
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. 448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGgkr0MSQU
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIeRHd2AZf
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ghz7TQ5BQ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7mMi8U6PH
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa7b3hWItP
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAOgscv09D
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RioM9i7DO
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Bq6wSQa7
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkR5puP63o
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCUISQJ1bw
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCoQMSZO5A
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhzJPAuduk
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySy4LRhALg
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSXToowWlI
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57wZ2RvbAG
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8FsbEnYXI
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQJxAVFjaM
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LI2w1lS2j
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyQlPacPU5
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk1Zq9oswJ
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEQ6gsiv1b
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriERxsadVv
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1vHLdRJTj
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqECox0WqC
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFczFpIZAI
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoGUWw0j7Q
"I don't want to get into it."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoahz3Sn88
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKyhwy01nD
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE1C823WPk
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH6KuVTwAH
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4CsOdwErW
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbjBhK6UDJ
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7uxjEWmGZ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmeqyCg2nu
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIvsgfJlyI
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT8nPL9hAT
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyh1zFEF5f
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMjn5AA2vF
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t4G7tsUaz
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDuRjKonzd
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3ULdokEGR
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7lnon4mXO
"What's going on, Quinn?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIEePN9ifq
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRDP9xAVyu
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83m8ric5Sd
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DPkTpap6o
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAptIvg9At
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lWveaT72G
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgIoQOxngO
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkNzlK3YJI
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT3V1A0wLz
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguNGFwocvy
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1oYUxKGov
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakbDE9Zs1t
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLbrY3P5l3
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi57CUgeloT
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriYFurmOv1
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYamraEd5JO
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOMZsAquBn
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB0tC92DRL
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe399pqdZ7
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjBJtB6VTq
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCWxf1n5s6
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBGEgzbZGT
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ0PkGOLSa
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkrlAdim4O
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiErfiL38e
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhp6S3ZX8l
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVrcjWUETQ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTKlMC0Os5
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DocOAAb81
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXRicdKfpy
"He's here?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAJDheGwQC
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumdAr5tOIs
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUll7xXq1g
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbHNiUWyya
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kV0sU3laI
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunYjWjY8zB
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OZ1Qwn1P3
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMfXWH5h97
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0WQgH0nLi
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsPidzTHoG
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLVw5XPmVn
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnOm2YficV
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WNUgkLdTn
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHobOuq3w1
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMLcN1GLD5
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCxtbihJGX
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgfhUCaCv6
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4n4EX8SXw
_448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vOH8M1rmn

"Keep up, Quinn!"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXxYzYcmSa
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CqKg6YLEu
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTppTmjsXH
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkobsZewp99
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtiu0XgQED
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOHMovh1De
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrgGj0k51w
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgd4gasRFe
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8eDstik7A
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2yQU5tadd
"Dick!"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cv8IY82Ke
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3exKlcU0YH
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwWafIROlC
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcJLgy47w3
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5MqB82Hhv
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6FKZ8GYdu
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuOSv3vGhu
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAhOZz7QMB
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8hPhyWNwC
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcx8qK8NSi
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHrahfEddY
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3gsSeUvAi
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. 448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjZP72CFYC
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNXYtFWLX0
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpw5lHQZyi
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe72etgHyaZ
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPlDQ2Cnid
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90GJd4s9on
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbvglx2NV0
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQlrlRmkrN
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs51XH3DyC
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6puLTS2PrT
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSXHBI0uIR
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH3m4WgUwi
"You could say that."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlvuJ1DT8X
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXYrPlY4BB
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCgdfykzyM
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjFvQuZZzj
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFzUzDqv6X
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2MNTt3Mdl
"Me too."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hnBrqoklw
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW2Nq7TfEK
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYVLzK6a9i
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6iglbb7py
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSxrTCw7Y1
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4053sHreQ
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlJVhBeAi6
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwl17cGmrR
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mk720LR57
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lfDe2GTE4
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUUYswxmRK
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDDdMV0Clq
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIqYgbWDub
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUWX6H56IE
"Money laundering?" I laughed.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEJh04KyQg
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7BlzPeJJP
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKKRpAwYNx
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNGX1KECCi
"Seems like a lot to handle."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w3M1LFhLn
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jGflDM5Cz
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4IGr6ZAdO
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt3C8gaWQX
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdZdOMUv6Y
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5IgQsUkhn
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ArZa1dZwP
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPPmRjL7mW
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaObYaZajj
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwfcmgCY5c
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfGeZyaJPK
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlAeGYkBku
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfMgPmlCzN
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTSwIwEzgE
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxuA70GRxe
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLMAMoOYE7
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRbyYxl7EA
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYXaMTDCjC
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L7kqoSDSz
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvAPZXdVXu
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxa84Xi91o
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVwnkjlx3B
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3LjI26Kx9
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvVpjwPSQM
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjhMMGUWnr
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1e4OyW6I2
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYarPLcUuld
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTxo7dKrUV
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t1Qugf50C
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrIvcnKiNT
"Are the two of you close?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOLhz3cUa4
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzdJZ0Ijt4
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbzshJTOoE
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIsY1GbkDr
"What about you?" 448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRqfGQsyFK
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7w9zrHKIx
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy3NSW1jl6
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKPBrsJoxO
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHKa9Po1IY
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oo3KV7xj5
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2s5tCgu5J
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuSDKfvNwR
"Sounds like the life." 448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdNkC9mmbH
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLel2T26wYG
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLn9dKZMmQ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrsc2L4Ly5
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwHTxuwSyK
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5txrIKsWRz
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gMYOIdK1e
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePTmJkb2Uy
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXdF8q3XU1
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B7md2FV2h
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzGIHQcL4w
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpF2B3McMZ
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKTUIWkJy9
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazCj6kSwVD
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPjEHMXOd3
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Xa9L1Av8
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJzCOiiV3m
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas4mpRPvJ0
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4qLPScdgj
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZkiZ3EE6V
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeuJAx24ZO
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC21wznZk22
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DrKYErHr9
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt5PEVs2yr
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-"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9YDvPcMR8
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyponndOgJ
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDt0bJ7Qv8
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TkOGk34L3
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfCD3F28a6
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduPAO9qgOr
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzKSLLO7HK
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3az81n2GC
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4QRpgcGzD
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVTHuZ3sZN
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkB72uABbc
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTj6lhKmwZ
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsZf8ZzdFZ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4dZOQ1MUl
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7uNjAY1K3
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ez9mOaKdi
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94V1cJx7l6
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxcoGQtAL5
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV1gr40E1y
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyEbHBSeel
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQI1jRAoPF
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbd1gnlcL3
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lACph6qV5
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvP4SfqCms
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00JXs4iBfS
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UeXccGcOe
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZXUUXIANw
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yMxCLhGKM
"Try me.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWEBogKDQy
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiyt3Nqfrq
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C88klYbks
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB0RpqeqEi
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LDQ38qKxD
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg9DKAwkvo
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo4LXAwQDb
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGo4JNbCya
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayL0LuDQf0
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EMZzvamSm
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK49QQ1tui
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPemJsydFD
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDWnK2vx47
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUeGB9TRC0
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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjodsUoyhGG
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkpNIQWvg2
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JNKxNqGyJ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRZzGu7mg5
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwnAZW8wKR
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtGP4nKSsd
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyT9y6U5xf
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstTq9QdAPB
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxr1vlJElb
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NqhAWGxMx
"Take it off, baby!"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahYVuHLTn4
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNVHPgKxkz
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaB7MfylQF
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eU5gQypGA
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2qA6uWv3v
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0oXtBCJnI
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8hDVZWtTS
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEmiWdZ8mI
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH0hOqmslK
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexvCZJaAdF
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgK4eQT4xq
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyzPOSwQqJ
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwntBVUCLJM
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrIb2vZwV7
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOQgqE5p8Q
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bjIFWwc89
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDxAfVkviw
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms8lVSE9ps
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89foEwAGde
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZYlS90aLZ
*BANG* *BANG* 448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDxDDSK50o
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uyHejTWe1
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMOqxITDCO
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj5pMnPZgJ
"Turn the fucking music off now!"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA9kNI5Lra
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvsqBRnrOn
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi2BTznnDn
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIc4q2qgFo
"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SHqRxUYPU
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRaqKOyqSN
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHnQm9BhBQ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuf9WAyWQR
"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mQYB5Didl
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vvc9mpOpF
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ231LCDiFr2
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYAnJHl0MB
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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJymGZlWrRF
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5q69cOkGG
"Get up and go."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9F6uaz5h1
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XInVhz9qo
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD3IBbUd9V
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtGMGsTCoe
I'm so fucking dead.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVAhbTx7M4
