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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6KHKEPnUH
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kXas13tiU
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIOS7rERvA
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQyhU64ODI
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV8RCaE55V
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOowZK27cwZ
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2ZrQpaqdF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXUjabaTxB
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahwIGH7MRR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsao2pbpycs
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRANva5QcSs
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv4UOKnOkQ
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzoooZzY0i
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee6ixqNLdj
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcpAiPVMwF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGlR88kU41
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSlIgaOGDZ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJdxtzQRCO
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgqNE3xULt
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNXzSjRSDt
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kPgLx8X4s
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj9qXtjuBy
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5efuh4YMu2
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbTIDkIZLh
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvqdhC4RH7
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUhkG953Yt
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJfTYtLz3O
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aGguxTx2a
"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?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFTpPBfXQ8
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISnaEiDknu
"Okay, mom."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7UcYUmmka
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lHekFS6GV
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90N4RPmAKh
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMk0wvEOUy
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE1bBLZl3K
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL8b0UA4gt
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz0ETDOn74
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCf4YBESKp
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi3U3bNOZp
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3D1vs3E41
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1tFagDmYh
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvJlV1TSs4
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrEAv756ds
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sMA2bseLZ
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpuWGeeAz1
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9ze69H7MO
"Sorry."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3piB8sCEP8
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX17vM8g3LN
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUmUIkRFhJ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO46U5LFRy
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtLNtyb5Zg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWGCJbnhXU
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssUZkfnaqY
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PkpPvHhaZ
"I'm not that bad looking."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pa9QlvzKq
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFDiG3ChSC
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. 435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcjLvK1rqC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4coksw2hRb
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNZzJ4Gwv3
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ3LiOnH3V
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LLpi6dlWn
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH6asQ8lRf
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGRes1WfJY
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj9Z3jpdSo
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvPLixNa0x
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTkX0KGCIm
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHZ9650VDC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkYM12zuEE
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eVTXtzcD7
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc35gHz2W0
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyvS2YvSzO
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOs3sy6uz9
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISK9IoVvux
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg1QC5RyzR
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnasAkYGRW5
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxQ3GNDnD6
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMucLINRVe
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4Ife2kJwX
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoo9cmPGjm
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdepWRkxooE
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJByA5uSv3S
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjagITTndpW
"I don't want to get into it."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FAIxP8Tj1
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O4tddcE5V
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcljcn27xhQ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArGKTZVDdO
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIp78aYvoh
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBuJCBefCV
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoh2UNqsJW
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ3ODEg7CW
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaflMpAU4K
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqMyynmERE
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AMBYRE0W3
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALnlZazuWs
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FYPojwZxk
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hHvR3ybBG
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv82TIx0Oy
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGpbrFkJn5
"What's going on, Quinn?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJhzk8i8PO
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHH3ckn33Y
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr1oMUW7NV
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhuedAQ6L0
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIr2qhbIfg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx9deZW4G0
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPux99Fpyth
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgUecQx3WA
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdiMDeYpVF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqZDaY5lUP
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hsbN4UK0B
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfshURBG8m
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5FzAXZDh0
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAEeIwBWuw
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHdjjchx5H
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXva4kjJncv
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgrLFCM7va
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAa2DNlqdT
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGoEQfGQwy
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7veyIzvTgA
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWppKAGH3q2
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PJlDI3JFb
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yx4qX30AW
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXihpAlNFd
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD75AUaB02D
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvtwmDKlFn
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lCwMLlZiN
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhEQKDDD9G
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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHMfeybplS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3BSKUdL7I
"He's here?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCBW4DjUgA
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpkeHBxTpf
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWc6vgrqXj
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqVCbI6f7M
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK67QEjUOe2
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJEsri2zZo
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaesa9w7g5
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynirFdVl5J
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqcMNx2ePB
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1MvqQhnJD
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCPJNt7uut
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDORXlBVk11
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1p5jIEYte
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgba54R8ZG
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIneMNADF2N
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAy0UibdHi
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz2CZXqd9N
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mggRGdnL5
_435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHpHXBitPn
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SgJzNg0EI
"Keep up, Quinn!"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7HR6LbwxQ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJFg4I8zzk
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoIfqqubTa
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfua1iEggD9
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVyxzxKseB
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVqwvyg7Ms
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOM2Bfvg7k
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNx39kANgV
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39wYalqih5
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSENCE3exLd
"Dick!"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCYLulKkZH
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNV1jYDCbQ
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ExDCSo8yq
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7lptHJaoR
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirSLRtJsUU
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQLSIvxBcN
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdCA0StrYS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3rdY36ogn
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEC4ZqqocN
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg583GW7Di
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CgfSVSdu4
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EOZxz8NBy
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. 435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMrmAkhYzB
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6hW0jsU1M
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCjds7ysYy
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeH6fto7b6
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ124TvOZYnP
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUs7o9pXGx
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnw54EmF7f
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTHx0ypWp0
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFOSlxQ3Gf
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRwoGihLxJ
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOr53eAs0f
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo14dpvNxrJ
"You could say that."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWL4YGnHdq
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kXyXUQKLm
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjDU79WHnF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmLmjRYHNa
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3iQLRIsFe
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIKgBI8nEV
"Me too."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADKRVIwu5t
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpSdnHVPjp
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaNhiHDvhf
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSSpIrNENP
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgtLOY6MR0
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnugI17Fsqh
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfERQEtQt3l
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfnjigTb6j
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykXwR7frXi
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JmmWFFKGu
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsvZrJZ0sK
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0gQeOGbLX
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKGbs0PUy0
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BchGoItKw
"Money laundering?" I laughed.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UlAbodAjk
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRONy7Sixb
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vre0DOztN
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc0KTO7Ljq
"Seems like a lot to handle."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIPVoi9iON
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFVXIojPTc
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvKGpejmfa
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiSbAmyrp9
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkgzSaP1JH
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzYBeLftrf
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn98SzDlB0
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxABPq7cSJF
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD1r27etxe
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiXIhsobpD
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zt9B8Qf9y
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF4IEOyYM2
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfbusMXbcT
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfcGXkffu5
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4LQVno1ZW
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJIUzh8csh
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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKLPGTImIy
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXDU2YudX9
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXw0Zr6g1K
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn0lklyqoQ
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG2ozjmbxM
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0xTOSsKVj
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb0ctCx6t6
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgrmgiq6Ec
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyy4D18dvM
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsT2JYUhaK
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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVOAMkgyxR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qp7Mc3dHN
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJK49TRb5c

"Are the two of you close?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd3E1fibqL

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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKExzsf6nc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Cv6ByPvl
"What about you?" 435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zy3lHpzfp
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA4oGmWHYw
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1wdJr2kwB
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JhVBoJMjD
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXPppG5sav
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdXRlGQJoI
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZTHkrXzha
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9clxUqbxg
"Sounds like the life." 435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVk5NoMozv
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA48KEtPft
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGuLkea78Q
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4iF1qPjBn
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kK9OBRKNb
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xAp3eEwhh
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPeOlwQxOQ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fOroBKiv2
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY2Eny0is1
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVzKsBruKf
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwx6XelPua
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlLVArH1eZ
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGLTN4J5zp
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZe8jcAZie
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3DVJ6E6UG
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gqvoKHERB
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSKfkGcg13
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObiR3w9O9R
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL9oC1j9XQ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGck6MeBisw
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0hct2XpfF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrEnHjhIS4
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlDVCQQ1zR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6eQKn7fkT
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-"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2SlsYDOEz
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjesq4OkE1I
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe45kLu6yDA
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6bsu6XT24
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zo2LSWoIh
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbytN2dF508
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUS6OI3Qg6
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zwXsKdsCO
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GXmDwsfq1
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcgJWnPBZX
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJmXGdQZIX
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj4ZfFOPH0
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19vsZK2PJN
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP4XnKMjGY
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmONGBo5Kp
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSheZDBssYc
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDipklWjJI
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPW5HBjbLP
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCWF1A24Qe
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwZ6t9LEul
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAKaqN2gJz
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZVoPdTeOL
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUEveRQp7n
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2X4q4cTah
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNEvQAwEGj
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKZIqOeMw2
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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHP0XqTyQR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbegizNAKU
"Try me.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwY0WFVdNI
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzECYTHRjss
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY9lvqSESx
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f2diiQPcS
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99KbCPSwIc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO86qURpIv
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsJ5GzoUtu
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yM4sAr6kH
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpdZsSFiuT
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z66WgJ63D
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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0cqjxnj8A
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBWYYVTVKz
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiobmk6vIl
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN05qfRNbMj
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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqxIn87MRA
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgvIhOkkvD
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhaFn9I48e
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ztlGgJmg
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qeekLAMdJ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8nZopwsSv
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Yzrs72fl
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqDXtr5OjS
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKrDJxB2AL
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JvKgw0X3C
"Take it off, baby!"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWk4JqPSGV
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIMTfLnlXE
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqvlECJ4hy
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPukzlcTCCr
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjHKAqlVNu
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFGOFXqJrq
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OkGMQjzY9
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6yR7wv5cj
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKORZAmGoP
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tZ8LZnJiq
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94RBEVIEh2
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKCtdKK3CP
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GMJ8VJYWN
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu8g6XUiG9
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfnCFxL0dX
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLOyCxfhKm
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZOjqhrSHv
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEawHhHO2FI
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbR58VyZZx
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC2uG6O8YW
*BANG* *BANG* 435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkElQOAEbw5
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVy7ckKac5
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEmHNJHke5
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA0q6Qsuq4
"Turn the fucking music off now!"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MvQLC0Z0n
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9bP2N3wnL
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUbIIgMfiF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZnEiMfOYW
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3XQgazLxb
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qiw5wIDYm
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0PN5FKHIJ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfuRPUf5yx
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPxi1S33Zn
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pzYF7eubR
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXFcPZZVLc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn7ZwDomJn
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dhjCKlJ1O
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkOAA6Cc13
"Get up and go."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDZws4ey2a
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzDvzJMvfJ
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5z3zl0sNQ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz25UJufnG
I'm so fucking dead.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTw9fLQtV3
