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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNKiAmJFsj
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiLTc7d60E
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KIlhhhf0o
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7pDPvnqLW
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLyhH5pZ8r
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3FijEjAf4
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAIUMCDkhV
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyTxmKm9FA
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa8D2vYGEV
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAyJzUaYCq
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBYCxOw8jb
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqMq4CuIru
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU34IOlqNTA
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1fiMgqaU1
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzljfp290S
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9ivPqkqrK
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ipUL5RIjf
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxf8eTxvB6
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThFvlpbu68
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF07FUimHlJ
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoCVVzhoib
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tVqtOeaTW
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlig1MPYsLs
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerg8pw8sqP
"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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKFts2QymY
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIEUK78MhO
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfndXKJv1p
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUwdiKQnzg
"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?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB2JvNvdkp
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzdCg9w2A9
"Okay, mom."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GdVubRRss
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW5zU1rBts
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEK1yOLn3P
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rWWsVnEEj
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPkFzuhBQg
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtvshyozhW
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61vamOabwt
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN89wYPmRvY
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7EDdsreJt
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIWsYE0VbW
"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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0KlvDFb4p
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBqHY5J0Si
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJYeOSnPbM
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZznXkYLpI6
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKAkjIhnLl
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFvCscGLZ4
"Sorry."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmLzAN6Nel
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDuOXyIU7h
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGpjMub3nh
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kJyeQVWHn
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjLh4oZuPP
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCNIIZ6kly
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwznI2cOOl
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXmCxxTTX6
"I'm not that bad looking."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ThgXFDhz
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0mQCT7OT9
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. 359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuJ2uSHSbs
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY3ZCkznyP
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCTLfli2v7
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEfnsldjB3
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9sSERqxly
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjaXWa0X3j
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ2bsaZQcz
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gnIQn1Kuc
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiSnKDYbdF
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf44WU7FnMs
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmRvL3h3De
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RwFvg9R3Z
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShp2jpnPhl
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk61ywYAgbu
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo2CSheefr
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwd4tAeFWn
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJINJ1PBaNm
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lL0qKTGbw
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMIPlDZHL3
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJIxElrcg6
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKsBS7XwVk
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonzwC8ZuhR
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkUhfvYsW9
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxFCpBzNwc
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSI5dveIaX
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FKgHIVzw5
"I don't want to get into it."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjleDNLyxS
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXG7rX93TX
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EjSCEuBCG
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4TJjlw91z
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vgF06fhvr
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m01ctVwgH
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxcImKm6Gu
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNLC8hOVw3
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOhHfxvgXL
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqHqQxHYgK
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9OzhYuQQa
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gRNKMJBIh
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wh8CzNE1J
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLS19h944H
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzLSk3T7sM
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBTpgVBlB8
"What's going on, Quinn?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMd4k36mT3
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNRfHn2PGw
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxERM2mklZj
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVUMZE8a6X
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Xh7Tv7U3
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1dkcoMdoU
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpYPmtDU95
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg79WstRFRR
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO25CX7gXp
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPFqGAMp0t
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSLuAI3I98
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NxPNNoUfH
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPTwOiyZI9
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKPYvRsaqe
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcZ04Ve6A9
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxGJ0MWLWe
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnmrAjLMbn
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzAZzuhr8O
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnjvNg2Hoh
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKKRm57bff
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wAN1sC128
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9VTu3Q5DA
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGnx6qpAMX
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxJ4MY6Cqk
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZhl9S11XD
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pT7Y7vVB9
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJyR7O6qUS
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh5BfXmba8
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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbc2zSzDVJ
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGA8psyh18
"He's here?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8XXmHJ32V
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA7zGFxnqC
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpg6FFUeKA
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l9VOzef2n
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvaCgGJKoB
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq0e7Pkh5B
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9hZcMNZHm
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAd6WlUJIv
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplIk74nuZi
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5wvEcsSJQ
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tR3WftODO
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa6accryHa
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD9xEy14qp
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRgpVRtXHj
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLKyKhVdMU
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4QKZH5hJo
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3M8P9YDPU
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHruIlGRWL4
_359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5NoCxp1aK
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHphxLQJQCL
"Keep up, Quinn!"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB2DDYVQ1x
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2SfbI2X7O
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVDNWsf2Ev
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlpsQBC6ca
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh81tsVb7pU
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHJQGICH8v
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaVXSrRUkx
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ID1gFVirG
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPTE1Hbk88
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQcCwaip11
"Dick!"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm1MBDLxea
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamFqzIGd3e
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgRYSeRvg4
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ6U3ea9PG
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3G91YWnrV
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JftXhCT0m
"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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirlvMwZdhD
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDw2ekEcad
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyq99I3YHU
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhYxF7dUOj
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJfqUK6hZG
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9m2VtNuDL
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. 359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H02BV3lyQ
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59is4etLhS
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPWs7JgOIQ
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooFOgeWA0p
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz0bUeDpPf
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKAyrtWWsd
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucKs5c22Gh
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10B8IoPywf
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PcKCPgLSz
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKG0RE2hMS
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRry0UqRyc
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgP43xCH5e
"You could say that."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNgEBPmuBF
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0LvogREpp
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGq7SyaAxb
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsycwb3eM3w
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg7h5qGjI4
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKQvUpDSZ8
"Me too."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNiFG5VYq1
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYJ20Hiz0j
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft0V9627sI
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9t1puDN7D
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIP9QKEqsv
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Huk0Bo84T
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlrs1VMk4Z
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs2U1jMVqo
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzglOoaLPIA
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzfosbDgRJ
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtjLgk8u9f
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tgXTQQwDV
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiwqGrI0IT
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsab29cxYRj
"Money laundering?" I laughed.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvjJZE4yIL
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiAcUfyv3j
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteib0YRk7p
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Potxr08a
"Seems like a lot to handle."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX2DfqUPLu
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKMuDxwBM7
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldzrWbrvev
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBdmThZRjR
"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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99NlkNLeeh
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzChYlA52b4
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0feEdpRJhY
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBALDgqhUf
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLvLVHwYfy
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOSbZltclg
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mimuaKTdj
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlbapDUsqQ
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKxmcOtTDR
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNftqhl8LpF
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAEgTYwE8P
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5YBdxlxWH
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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7SA4Mqaox
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PRdgAU2gk
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAShmVn91V
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHBW1hCi4X
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z1OKkNb8N
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uKBlWxgxj
"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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTTTEbauU9
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dc0xejmTj
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWvsFFg1lB
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGexooGPHgp
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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJS2feaJ8W
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y8hXb7Tvu
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhLY8P8k1h
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu96TeO46k
"Are the two of you close?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalhbLsdC4E
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoLf1pPGsj
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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTLs3M6KFZ
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeA3cdU0AE
"What about you?" 359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHiUS6WkBK
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtMhbqO4lF
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPa3hDV6ex
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux6NkHNSUm
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTOLUkbqSN
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb500yYox3d
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOztwQqB9pe
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAHUUJcxCQ
"Sounds like the life." 359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBm6S7Bzzj
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yZACJz7lh
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9V6jyoAi4
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1BUsLLEsA
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDGRcC6XbK
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG0ihnzGym
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r7rJhb4Yr
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5uZmgQN8E
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEQAK1Zj3l
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWmpvtgEYj
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfyEarFd2J
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4oDCFDFKW
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YzxUJNqzJ
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaT1T5HmsY
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk7fw55PO4
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3esEjt6RVL
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgitg7eNou8
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQELNAwpmH
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5dmMc9NGW
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b1ckk4K1Y
"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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EjhwxNq9k
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BVr00gyAE
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw32rvXkbw1
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIXqbEyUJp
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-"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv273pmCJpn
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk4aA74MJO
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzVB6unR0e
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdhzE5UWDN
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kHiTQLVsM
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wtWsVsQOX
"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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznM2Gk7lhD
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBHIUzfooF
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjT0BWImqm
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRXqKWnbs9
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYf1oKZ8U5
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMnqU62rgq
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHKXe1kEmE
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW99yV1Rxk
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN96GMbUiG
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7AwNxfBLr
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GglVKEt0i
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYnwm04XZS
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90dlpbljYm
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qsOGmbwUV
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmqFPn5r96
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe4NVUk5lV
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHBZi6VV6d
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LG9pviwdc
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6OH6PZ1nh
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi90fHsde7
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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtd2ZtxKhs
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL96yK12kVF
"Try me.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSpXOusOz3
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1kPIM2beW
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyZHUrVe4S
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXSHkBIc0i
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmzpFNnBnk
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mpOgTGGoQ
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONNEhdmfmV
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwijYMmt0JP
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOI0fj21Xe
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJHQ5OHWDT
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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jKP9t8eWT
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPibHZtfAJa
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBSAXkPHuO
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD13Og1LGz
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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCQR5yszML
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIcUTVrLjD
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF0jvVWjGZ
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM5kyZTs5s
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzWgW2GZkg
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP9fYeY98D
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c7QmZ2URv
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWYTplcxlG
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oNgdRWeA1
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXioQDGummZ
"Take it off, baby!"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0siUiRtewv
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9cmDWPt5n
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWggsgm2kSD
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfISfwsaVkW
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1HPV1GoL8
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirwiQrO8T6
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNUJFHJd0G
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrpkanRfLl
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oIrWQoEuy
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68tQWwgKG6
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45JilDAsfa
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1JRd0c1hj
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTChtMakJH
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef6wTdHyOJ
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsp5i1wf2h
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7J6voJsZq
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhj15VpxWT
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt0IeYPG5I
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA69PlwQvX
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0f1cTYeKR
*BANG* *BANG* 359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoMC96aDeO
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAswnjneJP
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51NELEDaV0
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eV2WvBsjh
"Turn the fucking music off now!"359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH7CjIA8RF
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZW3hiCPS7
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDqh7VBZfF
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoUJB6uPkE
"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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VhsqvY9IL
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LTYsoB3Gx
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe1zZ9fgup
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWk0poFre8
"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."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPZYWXK1qg
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJKNXHXrja
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JaDrrWeNw
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3yUheMlHo
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.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJaFIUZJy7
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n6GKNWXKd
"Get up and go."359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPATklRQnb
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdMsmC86HZ
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxczEzgljd
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQVAOZyC70
I'm so fucking dead.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLYXCLFVto
