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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsRFBjsSTf
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHPzYOR0eG
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtVkSwoCJ8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFek7z3DhRr
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW62wCM6jhE
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rlokUPGvj
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d3n3zCBSe
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0R82ZSYQO
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtTgw8xtNy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycvi1FxMB7
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyQyyR3qIj
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZlWNvl4xD
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUfscrqM7X
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o4llgETL5
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI5dtP7XWj
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmdZD81sVn
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzXcU0337P
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uo755yjhA
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJfi0H7Wa1
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxjS64KpQc
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X1bMxqAMM
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpogkPJV29H
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlG0H8gfFa
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT43xPNwAAS
"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qmEczdBWa
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWPaLFKk01
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzCD7za4YY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRxzQvNm5M
"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?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXiOgwf5Lx
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8izPyeAuK
"Okay, mom."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRZ3HKHBVb
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNL0PnAJi5
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmQ0AiOs7F
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjfQTPJhIs
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYs9TTX9si
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHn3EqNmeK
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCZzYjba5n
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZs0sP6jsA
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8yBgUZaRO
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YfiOd9zEw
"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCk12FCBHJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7riTF5FgJ
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaaNe3r3ah
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUS4Q4VPUv
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWxugruUYN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfqP3XHCwX
"Sorry."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VlCKXwvIr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwuMO3ueVB
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomn8CRxtnE
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBdTJUh0AT
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2XohJAmGg
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaLDKILgf3
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiWMsEAIty
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46InhYTKc3
"I'm not that bad looking."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgXsoP8R2b
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2IsqPHZD2
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. 340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9d5hUqQn5
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYApd2ispD
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIiC9NleGo
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItx0zde0sa
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9zVAPcvRD
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWH8q9QXMO
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPg51Z99mi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwUmoJ41gm
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWfE661k77
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESphW22c5D
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnH4L8pQsz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49VS5PNXnc
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dTSwJmJAt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjE5K4KOHR
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lmDIIpafb
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVZvzO4hnS
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlgTxNrjAI
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKaCNO9LhH
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbFkQWlA1Q
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSDCUw5Owz
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOJAww2DzI
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmZFDyzU9f
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFrnqGDcMi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC9f0r3wI5
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcFE0YBgLF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSHqAgEDAK
"I don't want to get into it."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXbowvSUPU
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmQVlh2oq2
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQZkSXjLIv
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y9mzfQ31Z
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapaHGOoyQr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi2qxI2k2Q
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvidtUhrgRN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoC7TOJNWh
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWK3UhvEpY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBUDd0H3eJ
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Eh7m76mZd
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNf4eUM7KN
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbwDaVa1JS
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDjOLSIOgY
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYdNGuy9lh
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZzr8pq8Lj
"What's going on, Quinn?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtX46a2czi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwi55CBCrk
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL3DgHlAtU
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tj4TnjO43
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKnodGcBXz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxohk0Y2Sf
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Psg5MhFEz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosqMgfBXzd
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgHG6vhngW
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfzPWThorF
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMcEFKrdnC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfBRpAnxMZ
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLsHD03zmE
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC8QvpXNzp
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UjxTff6TC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIj5dmJlfQ
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7gUSJFXbS
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaMPr2KxVP
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24IoRaUIyb
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRzHfe5Ilj
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8uWtuYnXV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIJRZ3WEVO
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdg8bGsl24
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7uLvG4fau
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPxaCd6ur8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6opEVrSmxK
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4LcLgMUyu
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVIJPL7rTg
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhSjBfxCer
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwZc8JstnZ
"He's here?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa3qocKz1X
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuUjvnNJsJ
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjH87ccRpO
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFVDkHClKO
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgxQQ2YggM
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZX3MSXiGT
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MD5PFwR0b
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62qcZ439GN
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwN6m2pgXx
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mbeWnZQwZ
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XZVHrUJsz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwJ3WaLGZb
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSYpLyEN6I
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGVHfZQ79Z
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYozUH36lXX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQonMni0pbs
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna2oyHCrED
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImZwL8VRE8
_340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnEQE6urvF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP1vOsN5o2
"Keep up, Quinn!"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVHKdoBu0Y
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh8HPkOJqO
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u90hWD4uS
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybDW0k3l7G
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUzsvzVP2p
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwvr30LtZ1
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL2WySm18I
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6zUVZRC4t
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHXIdDNStA
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukKxLqfpUf
"Dick!"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThBsAvkjVI
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbnH6oRmm3
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf1IxoV6bc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1sZv7Wkg1
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa6XselrK6
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdgihHzUwd
"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRxZ4tNa9p
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq1XFzeXuJ
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYUug94BlP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2FKb0dGzP
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDytUAtl35
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMowgfQflFG
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. 340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkSheDPnxF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E4hpWQie2
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYcEcptdRf
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0GTobPBk5
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7HNBkPpJ6
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTDL76ePe2
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT1I81qR3P
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1iDWaCwSL
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPKPmTZK6h
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sOA23wcKF
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdxiifQbPp
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHLrdLt9Ef
"You could say that."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l8uJHaoMM
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q0iHxB4Xs
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdg6JWQYkF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSRHFZ3ril
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpJuTAaWYX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx665a3djqJ
"Me too."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPCgLeV0XH
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZjQmaHX3m
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlx0c6dJ2l
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pI3c6WXbC
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeAuAhNtv2
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg0fiZo9G7
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fb3Fhuqg3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjHHHxDfKd
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzI8RB9keN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xyIfmyLQW
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SbHyB4K6N
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ583rtb0nVL
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbLptkDNgV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1fGOAhpZz
"Money laundering?" I laughed.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXiuzrfU1y
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7OaTDyBz6
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBxdImGvQs
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhTfTvPMpi
"Seems like a lot to handle."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t2ea41asX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6OvV2zwH0
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVjY9knQVQ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lLLClwhFQ
"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Kf04IQ0O
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbRuxxVA4o
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRCgLq0LBs
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvFm3feZoe
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe6dYAiS2j
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrI9dw78d1
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb0bcsUZpV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8He0u4FkSy
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7hg9yCtgb
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLg39xSBVZ
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkjryQT0eg
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A9cPXUNbm
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMJGOVEvOj
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvCc2JuY8C
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJrymG1BRo
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01bTr3Tf51
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg1gPXaGwa
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUQBr9z08k
"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9S0PVT7ao
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeZY7urce9
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSk2q0rqCr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv42WvJoq4
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXbmSTFtpu
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaORDbdtaZ
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcLcuYzgsZ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaoWLKEmY6
"Are the two of you close?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1z4TfDljX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorSYIVYwuL
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj1nbFwUF0
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXSQvhYPgs
"What about you?" 340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9mecGzEmU
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYdUpfd4cj
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts3KSVGFIK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUfW3Qr0sZ
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv0yn3jYgt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB4eSwOxhO
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKgd9bgvLy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4ePmqUXH7
"Sounds like the life." 340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRadOjtLHp
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RmtE5Vcmr
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJii74MkiwK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfSS5GhjuP
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuVxI3owcY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPlpJ3eQZI
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uJaA7qVbc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIp2JeIKCJ
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH4fpYlZN1
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGBzfzMLm2
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNnUIpRmIJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae7oFSdbGN
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD93JeuAec
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIEPbiEn8w
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyYvgkYbXs
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwjGnfdr8z
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbMzzlHtNQ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI72HcrWWLw
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MSNFnxFgs
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8DrfU84tB
"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93lNJRJ38v
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfddTRJR2e
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxOqx52tfW
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K8ERitpOs
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-"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIbVYt7aYf
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7NjuVrb4q
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5jbk0K8k0
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocvBgVhYXW
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82gYRmiBTd
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgneOmW2GOY
"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYR1xLhlHG
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDGNanTRrR
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPwtoVhaNA
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyne88ejzDJ
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe6igoIkKn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cUOpTaT6z
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGnEsD1DSV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDQ6OHF16b
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepHie8juaM
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJihq10ZR9
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTqIFFtFM9
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiwLSV95SH
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc3bYY1ZmJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxgfqc6MUU
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IzKZTPaD2
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrslp9p2pVx
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTizqejcSZ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEjvGdEVY0
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeazqy2m3bm
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3aQ9s0hxp
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EC54apzd4
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4lqeMIwdx
"Try me.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Au1cVKlS5
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX1ZgOXKds
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQWef8RO2g
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTW0OB2jPQ
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4JJdTB9dK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbUSroaTgK
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6hYGS9dIh
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1tz8tzC8e
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbLS86rKFU
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8F6sQSVyk
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWkTdTN1Xv
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzp4dpN6sA
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz110jnSD9q
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsYC8Ebw4c
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEqZ0Lcs1o
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLec4agKxJH
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU4RhmpOHP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfExn0BQPL
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mjYOmukjd
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfrgykFySp
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3bnYHPScv
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAkwd3Ugmf
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx4r9QO2Oe
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzaeA8hPq2
"Take it off, baby!"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYxZKILTkw
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu0m8oiwB7
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMWFxo9jWu
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWawbHrWs6
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjOgBioG5b
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO8uxbR9Gl
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpLCIxTHWS
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn21Yh8HYH
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fSqI47G2d
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5FcaraYDs
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgerUZJVAV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi8KuLog4Z
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW7aycl4Tg
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0dyXuXbIx
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWih0WCptgy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS6nYnrePa
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZDMrO5xAj
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH8tJ4DPmI
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgw7V2uvtt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItaZsuEXMA
*BANG* *BANG* 340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz05RLVvUo
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xo3qcP26O
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqWweyzifa
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2cHPjtvc5
"Turn the fucking music off now!"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBd1ZC9Wlz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92XujnVSKj
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3TxqzGeW6
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWOgWCaBzg
"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cZsXJ6Hvt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrskVGlJY0E
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx58YL4khPb
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pU5QjiTpY
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5udyYDQ9Yh
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHMUocXt8j
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyK4umpZXw
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeVShROIFx
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpejqf1WNdD
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFAaqglalG
"Get up and go."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUcGEPAHkc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ib2ew2b75
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIbCqJs1TH
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo16mU8hUGV
I'm so fucking dead.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjs8ZwGNdd
