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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAnzHPSS2BGZ
419Please respect copyright.PENANAoMJBPfskXR
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAra1j5uaF7A
419Please respect copyright.PENANArH8rNtIRUe
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA932Oa9jRs2
419Please respect copyright.PENANAd9dFnYzDNj
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA0uROgsvUpr
419Please respect copyright.PENANAPv1nHUXOeT
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.419Please respect copyright.PENANAn6ke1067dK
419Please respect copyright.PENANALEoLznR1FL
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAM82JNekq1z
419Please respect copyright.PENANAsZoXiS60e3
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAquzrm10lju
419Please respect copyright.PENANAcMQtcWbOeF
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA19xdIoAHzD
419Please respect copyright.PENANACXxRWhy9kE
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAHdnDFNHyoO
419Please respect copyright.PENANAPuzCnKBQCH
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.419Please respect copyright.PENANAEg2qiS3Zr8
419Please respect copyright.PENANAY8CMtXoTMe
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"419Please respect copyright.PENANAlYu0OZqFZt
419Please respect copyright.PENANAt8eKuJ8GiN
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."419Please respect copyright.PENANA3uNKN30v9v
419Please respect copyright.PENANANPVzGfr0hQ
"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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAT0EYBnX1y3
419Please respect copyright.PENANAQpUyHP9mnQ
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.419Please respect copyright.PENANAU1EBOxWp5w
419Please respect copyright.PENANANHMft5W7lH
"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?"419Please respect copyright.PENANACLbRxL88lH
419Please respect copyright.PENANANRoLzDa4WY
"Okay, mom."419Please respect copyright.PENANA56891PvRVN
419Please respect copyright.PENANAjbEnFWZ6eo
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA8TtTSiHitS
419Please respect copyright.PENANA05MJESgtO2
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA2KzBpA8wHo
419Please respect copyright.PENANAyWVgrZihyh
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAQhe5qvPrvf
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuFfT01dDfl
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."419Please respect copyright.PENANAreKPJAiDvA
419Please respect copyright.PENANAGEnuQydsY2
"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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAO79xIITwBy
419Please respect copyright.PENANABsL4FKcy73
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAkboQDHtkFR
419Please respect copyright.PENANAwWzfK4LHtY
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.419Please respect copyright.PENANAYtLTNHGBen
419Please respect copyright.PENANAkE1BFa8JVL
"Sorry."419Please respect copyright.PENANAEF68lKW80G
419Please respect copyright.PENANAeqIgNaoDwS
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"419Please respect copyright.PENANAfjk3C2QMNN
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuXCDZlU26y
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."419Please respect copyright.PENANABMcGJMf6QV
419Please respect copyright.PENANA0egNcm6TON
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"419Please respect copyright.PENANACpg8GeGZ2E
419Please respect copyright.PENANAw7MtF6Sk0N
"I'm not that bad looking."419Please respect copyright.PENANAoO2o7ycjvs
419Please respect copyright.PENANAgcsIWBkH2N
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. 419Please respect copyright.PENANA1h9riYHL34
419Please respect copyright.PENANARZG8cOJW1i
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANArMC1ArQBQC
419Please respect copyright.PENANAkkPJsH388Q
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.419Please respect copyright.PENANAWfl7vQ9Day
419Please respect copyright.PENANAN0G6eQn1x3
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"419Please respect copyright.PENANAPgvmUWjZcV
419Please respect copyright.PENANAmdw55J5P64
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 419Please respect copyright.PENANA7GzPQ92Bwk
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuFRurJIL9l
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"419Please respect copyright.PENANAUBTV4kwRpi
419Please respect copyright.PENANAcJcWAYSuhH
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.419Please respect copyright.PENANAJeT40hCFXv
419Please respect copyright.PENANArskrOHQNvh
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"419Please respect copyright.PENANAsa7WwOVdEV
419Please respect copyright.PENANAugomee9F0A
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."419Please respect copyright.PENANAslOPHXuGbP
419Please respect copyright.PENANAj4Q3MlUw50
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"419Please respect copyright.PENANAtbgU8XULVR
419Please respect copyright.PENANAdCUCfpBI2v
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.419Please respect copyright.PENANAK6d1a1l2H1
419Please respect copyright.PENANAFJpY9yoKwU
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAIYR9rakRRN
419Please respect copyright.PENANArRWyM9HY0i
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.419Please respect copyright.PENANAisLGCMYaX7
419Please respect copyright.PENANARLtJZt5Thx
"I don't want to get into it."419Please respect copyright.PENANAkYXHpKkNjp
419Please respect copyright.PENANADy8ITKyGOm
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAO73Nc6x8vf
419Please respect copyright.PENANArXLM6cIQAt
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAF7x7kkKEwp
419Please respect copyright.PENANAFId7Fv5gBq
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2ZnQMJt6M
419Please respect copyright.PENANAvP2PvFtkDU
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA8CWJiuwCWX
419Please respect copyright.PENANAeZF1IRUiH7
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA1igmM7FZss
419Please respect copyright.PENANArEBZ4encjd
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANASPjMUhyW6s
419Please respect copyright.PENANAKKDxB26PY2
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.419Please respect copyright.PENANAepWvAlE0HV
419Please respect copyright.PENANAFDOzudUG3r
"What's going on, Quinn?"419Please respect copyright.PENANAYp1PPTz4lf
419Please respect copyright.PENANAM88d0gq3TI
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.419Please respect copyright.PENANAgFbarVKbMn
419Please respect copyright.PENANAl9FKZblYym
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"419Please respect copyright.PENANAwhZc88l9YS
419Please respect copyright.PENANAjPY4L3jt6M
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"419Please respect copyright.PENANALjb3aaSPYn
419Please respect copyright.PENANAV4sofHWJfB
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."419Please respect copyright.PENANAvBGyJ0EHTJ
419Please respect copyright.PENANA8QJ0SSvzFA
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.419Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ru7YWLMTG
419Please respect copyright.PENANAQq1cWzS4Xo
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."419Please respect copyright.PENANAhlNgTZMEeQ
419Please respect copyright.PENANAGjdsYBwMld
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAM8BEAoftwJ
419Please respect copyright.PENANAjP5l0YJTVm
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 419Please respect copyright.PENANApjkmE6mjAe
419Please respect copyright.PENANAYTrtXUlNKo
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.419Please respect copyright.PENANAToP64L8OOd
419Please respect copyright.PENANAZrLN9qWlAu
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAlKqaKYEKBR
419Please respect copyright.PENANAXMMuf1W55s
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"419Please respect copyright.PENANAe8UdwELtEI
419Please respect copyright.PENANAm2rELiQleP
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."419Please respect copyright.PENANAKnyDKxduI3
419Please respect copyright.PENANAvSxBJfjJ9f
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."419Please respect copyright.PENANA8OZHGSbw7b
419Please respect copyright.PENANAk2DIbu215l
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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAYw85CGf8Xi
419Please respect copyright.PENANAIosWHrUqZJ
"He's here?"419Please respect copyright.PENANALQC4B2dugg
419Please respect copyright.PENANAGhr4ImAvoV
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAVrhlTbV9yq
419Please respect copyright.PENANAzXhxp8OlSB
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.419Please respect copyright.PENANA6Yrcmy6425
419Please respect copyright.PENANAXx7ho1qI8q
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."419Please respect copyright.PENANAvTUKLinfxs
419Please respect copyright.PENANAnluHogh42Q
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."419Please respect copyright.PENANAhRfXYuey91
419Please respect copyright.PENANAnqRHoNgqZc
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."419Please respect copyright.PENANAVOREvS85oG
419Please respect copyright.PENANA1etYPuQUrt
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAqw26MGBdqP
419Please respect copyright.PENANAiu5Ibun4m3
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."419Please respect copyright.PENANAKTWCE3WZJ3
419Please respect copyright.PENANALA8jRFXJRL
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"419Please respect copyright.PENANAGoD8NMbqPZ
419Please respect copyright.PENANA4jwQWdT63w
_419Please respect copyright.PENANAWXiUgflD5S
419Please respect copyright.PENANAtbZW8cPRIl
"Keep up, Quinn!"419Please respect copyright.PENANAxBBSEkY7C9
419Please respect copyright.PENANA2ybLkw0TgJ
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAcykAfQwE60
419Please respect copyright.PENANALXhsDZEDbV
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.419Please respect copyright.PENANAgI4ZP58bW1
419Please respect copyright.PENANAvTkYJTHTz8
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAUZuHkSEDvn
419Please respect copyright.PENANAL9vZJsjvXY
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."419Please respect copyright.PENANA5eJJNj3t7w
419Please respect copyright.PENANAYUoyYhWokK
"Dick!"419Please respect copyright.PENANAKZffE7EwWU
419Please respect copyright.PENANAYvKe5Eyzeg
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAgTNciN0ZX2
419Please respect copyright.PENANAHEiDqm4gVB
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.419Please respect copyright.PENANAY4fCA3sVS5
419Please respect copyright.PENANAaPybfV1X8T
"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.419Please respect copyright.PENANABBSeYuX9VK
419Please respect copyright.PENANAMxCCdCQYdY
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAZN6GyWx7fo
419Please respect copyright.PENANAa7fI1z4rTj
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.419Please respect copyright.PENANAGqPABkQfLq
419Please respect copyright.PENANAhlAe08ULyB
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. 419Please respect copyright.PENANATiR7W0o4UB
419Please respect copyright.PENANA6JLIYznJVj
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAm9adF8veNt
419Please respect copyright.PENANAQRLMaAoaHd
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.419Please respect copyright.PENANA9CavV8azgA
419Please respect copyright.PENANAcpZciPIGbl
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"419Please respect copyright.PENANA9GlQea7JoR
419Please respect copyright.PENANA5ihNqdcsd1
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."419Please respect copyright.PENANAdibfRmjwAw
419Please respect copyright.PENANAfI5spCiSmA
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANArJjxqcBp2q
419Please respect copyright.PENANAJuI8Z1vZMT
"You could say that."419Please respect copyright.PENANAbppJ0kfji8
419Please respect copyright.PENANApFlPVnGTDj
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."419Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y3igKpvga
419Please respect copyright.PENANAEzibNElvyL
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAzD0siPOQHx
419Please respect copyright.PENANA7yfJ0YgoD8
"Me too."419Please respect copyright.PENANAEb0alPMsx1
419Please respect copyright.PENANAlit6NyKMpq
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."419Please respect copyright.PENANAngM7lMwpIB
419Please respect copyright.PENANApxr62iO7Gi
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAZu2XHNXJI6
419Please respect copyright.PENANAwayEZ2t7n8
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAmbExcflz6P
419Please respect copyright.PENANA8FDJ6pCTAD
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAcqBjyGIsaC
419Please respect copyright.PENANAkn0OFNrIwo
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.419Please respect copyright.PENANAS6pJBhVNds
419Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ9nWig4cd
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAMvslP3rE9N
419Please respect copyright.PENANAhz5rXXuu9Y
"Money laundering?" I laughed.419Please respect copyright.PENANAje30xEKZka
419Please respect copyright.PENANAlgxbuxykhW
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAwsKNN8WoJI
419Please respect copyright.PENANAjiSghpuO8E
"Seems like a lot to handle."419Please respect copyright.PENANAQLijwuKHgC
419Please respect copyright.PENANAm0TCfiWgrK
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"419Please respect copyright.PENANAFDyI5xN0lb
419Please respect copyright.PENANAh1jcE1RxZe
"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.419Please respect copyright.PENANABmM3r4jbLV
419Please respect copyright.PENANAAOozaSFSwt
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAmWFS0dw21X
419Please respect copyright.PENANAgiQ1uYGNEg
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.419Please respect copyright.PENANAR4Ok3a9u7c
419Please respect copyright.PENANAQKnMv3dyyo
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAh4uOslMpRk
419Please respect copyright.PENANADtQycYZBj2
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.419Please respect copyright.PENANA0cLQ8aHolO
419Please respect copyright.PENANAEd8hzTRFZ8
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"419Please respect copyright.PENANAiRv50MmYbA
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuNPCEMFCxd
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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAu6KtEDlKLa
419Please respect copyright.PENANA5eYE8fsNxn
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAnWeSv7cOoA
419Please respect copyright.PENANAZogOeRPxcm
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAiqVqlZS4BG
419Please respect copyright.PENANAw4rCbXHOIf
"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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA3HHi5mwAYu
419Please respect copyright.PENANAhpIfcWMFdM
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.419Please respect copyright.PENANARYpVLoJrbu
419Please respect copyright.PENANATiLF3k70od
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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAU5R4he47q7
419Please respect copyright.PENANA5BFUFqOw0t
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."419Please respect copyright.PENANAeANz2Wneyv
419Please respect copyright.PENANAxdGXcUZN9n
"Are the two of you close?"419Please respect copyright.PENANAQYhWdYadvN
419Please respect copyright.PENANABv0eIVJ02G
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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAR4cY8SYd9K
419Please respect copyright.PENANARGIuXMCaxB
"What about you?" 419Please respect copyright.PENANABCiohCRumx
419Please respect copyright.PENANAWZKrZSkMDw
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANA8B0Fr8FXH8
419Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ8XSh08Nb
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.419Please respect copyright.PENANA6emuHWNpCR
419Please respect copyright.PENANAmJrXNMahvn
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAbFZPq4sJY4
419Please respect copyright.PENANAKXPsNxWdXw
"Sounds like the life." 419Please respect copyright.PENANAjEGiJKS2W7

"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."419Please respect copyright.PENANA4TWN2I5HmD
419Please respect copyright.PENANAiWhEBW5hrU
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAEk5eqxqdHR
419Please respect copyright.PENANAHwjM5tVWEY
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."419Please respect copyright.PENANAEgydMEhc3u
419Please respect copyright.PENANAZyW20q4tyi
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANALTPM7fF6m1
419Please respect copyright.PENANAtjTh0gBPbT
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.419Please respect copyright.PENANA48H12tD4OA
419Please respect copyright.PENANA5XnPiyEWZh
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAq8BFRmJMcz
419Please respect copyright.PENANAQs6K7Fk4bg
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANA1cCish3XRY
419Please respect copyright.PENANAMhCwPbEZTC
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 419Please respect copyright.PENANAriTSuxmzIH
419Please respect copyright.PENANALtXnw6EgjS
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAn2sbVtenWL
419Please respect copyright.PENANA1vdshsZea8
"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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA4sxkFHN20U
419Please respect copyright.PENANABiFltcBg3r
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"419Please respect copyright.PENANAwMl1cvtvb2
419Please respect copyright.PENANANFsdQ4G94L
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-"419Please respect copyright.PENANAHzVqnf3i8Z
419Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1nXsRP2Z0
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."419Please respect copyright.PENANAmjre0Mo7dj
419Please respect copyright.PENANAnNbXUQmTqo
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA5W0yhWVjVv
419Please respect copyright.PENANAiGHGj3fWbV
"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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAZw4pGpHIOZ
419Please respect copyright.PENANAY2NQUKH9Cp
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."419Please respect copyright.PENANANQrx9TVHef
419Please respect copyright.PENANA0tP6jSqK2L
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAfN1rRUAF7c
419Please respect copyright.PENANAh5S0C6FxGi
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.419Please respect copyright.PENANADJzIweaME8
419Please respect copyright.PENANAR9swuhE3rW
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."419Please respect copyright.PENANA1BOHlHbbos
419Please respect copyright.PENANAGaVmbDObm4
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 419Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ7Hi1H0Qa
419Please respect copyright.PENANAq0NoGPUPzj
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."419Please respect copyright.PENANAu6AjYVzb5Z
419Please respect copyright.PENANAALp0wkqi46
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"419Please respect copyright.PENANAlXkBKUlxG6
419Please respect copyright.PENANAWjtp1EwnbX
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.419Please respect copyright.PENANAezN5YUFsD2
419Please respect copyright.PENANAfZSRG3DWMZ
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"419Please respect copyright.PENANACTRviVNQHb
419Please respect copyright.PENANAiIoFxgSMHC
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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAI7wu44PyY8
419Please respect copyright.PENANA0DiTwoTa1K
"Try me.419Please respect copyright.PENANA8yTaA0KY7O
419Please respect copyright.PENANAzjdCULl1c1
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."419Please respect copyright.PENANAKc1keF25Uz
419Please respect copyright.PENANAmkkIwQLaPC
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"419Please respect copyright.PENANALKr1vjsoPS
419Please respect copyright.PENANA8fy3Td40oy
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAaXLBGrsEc2
419Please respect copyright.PENANAS3sAoLPiWx
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.419Please respect copyright.PENANA6bHzzQVos6
419Please respect copyright.PENANAV7y2T9EQPd
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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAxJPJHV65tf
419Please respect copyright.PENANAh9cYaNnXI5
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."419Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ar17Fr6pJ
419Please respect copyright.PENANA76moVedwzC
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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAUmV2O0D5Xs
419Please respect copyright.PENANAZxrbXdxIf8
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."419Please respect copyright.PENANA78LHlOzKCz
419Please respect copyright.PENANAElBwz2gGPp
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAgIEDezCA7p
419Please respect copyright.PENANAMbVC8fjy5P
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAcAJVYKTGZ5
419Please respect copyright.PENANAi3LkxvP30k
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAwTtdTwwnhJ
419Please respect copyright.PENANAAVAzWglKWe
"Take it off, baby!"419Please respect copyright.PENANAWFExkzUZL2
419Please respect copyright.PENANA2cZsFSRzRN
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAyD3hmp3Xg9
419Please respect copyright.PENANAGoKNz77mbB
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA8N0rY3AW0t
419Please respect copyright.PENANASfBDNwt4kY
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."419Please respect copyright.PENANA0FJvVOEjT4
419Please respect copyright.PENANA4AmgrJ2MFC
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAhKfWW1JbVl
419Please respect copyright.PENANAvAIholoF6O
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.419Please respect copyright.PENANAMOE1HYFmgO
419Please respect copyright.PENANAJVV167P7ri
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAhS3Xl3FHLu
419Please respect copyright.PENANAnchCkxToad
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA2LQRvDb9xr
419Please respect copyright.PENANAQscmmHUEh1
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAgeLsYE5f04
419Please respect copyright.PENANAJb9Ascb2IL
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-419Please respect copyright.PENANAt79T6Uwm4S
419Please respect copyright.PENANAoNDpuhtTIy
*BANG* *BANG* 419Please respect copyright.PENANAuSpTyqYH1W
419Please respect copyright.PENANAfLi2yhxfWj
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA9lp9qy0aJ6
419Please respect copyright.PENANAUfACSVbRZn
"Turn the fucking music off now!"419Please respect copyright.PENANAVslYBc0J85
419Please respect copyright.PENANAJwNYyx9hgj
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANA8uy9oTQ9RA
419Please respect copyright.PENANARNe12hlDqO
"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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAV14WbZaViF
419Please respect copyright.PENANA2LarWtLeig
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANArVqm3mXiVF
419Please respect copyright.PENANAZrUItMGttk
"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."419Please respect copyright.PENANAXrEcjNUsqM
419Please respect copyright.PENANAQ82H3NYNsD
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAwMEghq63IZ
419Please respect copyright.PENANAd4vHIGSV55
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.419Please respect copyright.PENANAoO50EUnnTz
419Please respect copyright.PENANAMitDrNEzGR
"Get up and go."419Please respect copyright.PENANAtB1mRRKPOI
419Please respect copyright.PENANAIgwdyuQjTQ
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.419Please respect copyright.PENANAlIK9Rr6g6Z
419Please respect copyright.PENANAOMpbBJbQB9
I'm so fucking dead.419Please respect copyright.PENANACXDOm0dQF1
