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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX6SldJVf0
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaoeaU07dM
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLgK7elMqc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9UmwuT6LZ
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxD3MLWIKc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV982AUx9w
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡannCVNQ6N8
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WmYPhYNeT
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiv8TlC4Xm
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnakylV2eL8
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtORuauwq8E
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g5tQVI4mA
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDTO8y8qvm
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWU3x8Ikcj
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbjKjahfYi
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSt0vFbBaE
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxEwq2cOLf
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzXDb7miiB
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRueAmRUOA
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VVprLdf2a
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ5C4vh967
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwG2Qcj26k
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP4V9eQqQE
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUqWcmJfYD
"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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhyZgCZiM4
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwiXZmvXYT
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMExueYuyn
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3waVQlHUyD
"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?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyIL3Pt82S
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgNg5Ml0nQ
"Okay, mom."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkOiXxthEI
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoH7ne5003
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRvvEDSsFz
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7LryiKbuA
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0TUo22eFL
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDOvriOFRM
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwypPYfFpK
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMcQhCIwZu
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtq5e9JBKL
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHecfUrRmCX
"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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPCpA1xVFk
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3h1cYSTwA
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeBdSXeLu6
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa63VML9Gk
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1gfvt7F64
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNXOfGFnzY
"Sorry."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN6P8MW530
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ZhpRchvm
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1K1Ir6iMD
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZh0FJNl62
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSQMLfB8q9
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEIzM2dwxO
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt47S8t8tNn
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAhcR7A2LX
"I'm not that bad looking."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2lzpG6t36
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWDfmwXLuR
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. 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywD9IP6TeK
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnUKHf8Qbw
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sIriv2E5f
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeZewpKXTR
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00vLiX6PNV
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuna8V7WlSq
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAua5aiH55O
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM04H9HIESL
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJNDEYzRRS
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfP4NfEDRx
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kA5vdbHHA
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnTTYEBHSj
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7GSlfjoRL
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZmXRjj7lX
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZd8oSd0ys
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7dkqKed0S
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lDa7MyTbI
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOCGeU5CuA
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4LZ7OQ1JL
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuvsLn0g71
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoTOUYymU3
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7ELBB6Lcx
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI9SHuKTSV
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD6wFxPA16
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPdGl90ICW
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVELMplFdK
"I don't want to get into it."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEaOZhjYJf
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDbug4EALB
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OWSxz6iyC
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv4MVhs34X
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzZPvKES3S
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmeK0igtsu
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC32CcUNxg
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfVT38how4
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ytm0SOfAT
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK3gmKnH9e
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABJNjzTiYB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCPKLEu454
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVthtmynkG
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUhofjODG9
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVdOLixrXY
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcisBcN76a
"What's going on, Quinn?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT3WbIyeyO
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLHAXnUhmN
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jfoIZCfoV
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoqXjkLvnz
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmeG5mhmB3
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPFJCvLQVq
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT57f88nV5
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6vYEl77fL
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AjTXQ4Gs3
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu5OkvKaHx
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn31PEwvRwn
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76UAam87ol
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9IFUzmIZf
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEULHDjJlxs
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCkQl4Ngi9
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllgMebVmsz
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEclitAsTZS
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWk1zAqiPD
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiClPcK6mqJ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOwI0uQtXm
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALVtN9VUYU
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGaSi2B4rk
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f6CNPbQuS
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyXQMOL202
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hpL1iJP2g
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM5VT1bNjY
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8o5E1JqR9
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMZkfhZyTa
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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyVBtCsOu8
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA82Ju6o2pb
"He's here?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AjxQVBMnw
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUwhAD9S9h
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ux4moIjAL
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiNd2Xi4BS
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBQ4A7K7pF
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2bd1BEa1H
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE3Mle2gYj
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh3Yns9Htc
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl3adzsGWx
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwToLD8reoY
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp7fMBguHq
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FjPSYqhLy
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4aFuvEFTH
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ9CGV409T
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75f7g76jzb
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM6Aa2KbEM
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSakWPj3jyt
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfiVlZxXSV
_418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eoYkwnXBS

"Keep up, Quinn!"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRmpk30mTn
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpRzvMWmrf
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hs4wUA3SW
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70KMLUcmKx
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr31W4saSDf
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVCz9XsBDB
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVExJuczlo0
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ045pLEbIDQ
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkohB1GxMV
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrJw796BSa
"Dick!"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWrd1H98eh
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzWp15jLS7
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vxwoluQe5
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2pBheI7Z8
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHnpXkSu5Y
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxapRfyR43
"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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA7WJFtavQ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNOfzj1HW9
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuakMSoLjW
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdaBQr9KTN
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf7uKQ0XzB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vTFbdnW4S
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. 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsRJ9dJJ9c
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUkwKS76yY
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDCSReH5Pa
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVSkS8gxRL
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs5MJkDtin
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J4DMzY7Lf
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSt1bR0FuB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX1itFmzJh
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVVe5EjfLK
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZiqmV6vQq
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2bRs5fVNd
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzxetVMV3M
"You could say that."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kVbsZO7CY
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ3Nsg7rbA
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xitJZzVsW
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ZOczPuRQ
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4uTPb8dIc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp50i9TIQ2
"Me too."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiJo7dkBCO
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtjBIUMnQB
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv8slw6hYR
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t99K4YIzK
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCLFWRhGsa
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSZkRuFUBK
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKWDX106Hn
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWPstyxr55
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDZ6QvdeKB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4TwD12TN6
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuoWhav3CV
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozlCfKFQuD
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QamZHfteb
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx24S5wkxIB
"Money laundering?" I laughed.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TUr1BIpA8
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitpWjxT7le
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtXzIaHudR
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpqhhO0Pxm
"Seems like a lot to handle."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvSFP9yPfW
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIlsl2qhrS
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ttciYXEe
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzyUuwmQ12
"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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX77RzfHcvR
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA91lOZlsP
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIxIkMnLQo
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF4pF1z3I6
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCga5AtZZ9d
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gCP5JRiYy
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Syw6UaKy
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC2K14A1Vm
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAxiOpSCfX
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJezAO0VQr
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERE10pAL1h
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj0hZYX8Y0
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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7f4B60SWH
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAVzDXBK86
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR49MwXzOc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo50zU2o4A
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsDgKN1zQg
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOVhoQrxac
"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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7EG4l7GRB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiXAsd4hpM
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABF98VRNzL
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhyPwBcdeM
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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bfHNXmRk7
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Z3eAyFnk
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrUKoiev9n

"Are the two of you close?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG3fOLjTyp
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbz0WGDRip
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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMF2txt3W0
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrYfphrFuX
"What about you?" 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ8XuBe7Sx
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0zurFqmhl
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOup1qhMhu0
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsccwtymbE
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2r8Zg4eIB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuQ8fQAoU7
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A3tfrGzgj
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ2iM9Y9bz
"Sounds like the life." 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvctxEaLI24
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZrOwJsOzn
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCoiQVKB7H
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPjJwBuoW0
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK6PPYpmIm
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfCajl2xNH
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNlPxpzZkX
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cF2jUyStI
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFSebaVZFE
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWhlCGzaeu
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqTYcVnaZk
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmCedqUv7U
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9m85vBfpZ
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqvwYxsgUJ
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhojkF0UIyz
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc175E835P
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjVHh4xVE2
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna2GfhMrD2
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBDF2mIS7x
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAEivgDeVp
"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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZaFpITRVn
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTILKmn8pqs
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8McKtOapUA
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUErR0PtnQF
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-"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bZgWCdJDR
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0Abw56kov
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshKKkbA2rm
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheyTZpwlLv
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1b9hQZa0f
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKEnes2oCA
"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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEkzBoWEb8
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO6K2sgFt5
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7X72uAVgs
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PSqso941L
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVCGA7VfPL
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM2glllac9
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V82MRzeDk
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V1w8wPAgj
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOBxFTgwHP
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdCpi4blsS
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX9J6yMo03
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3E9RAL4eR
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDzhY5YHXF
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKlvKO6aSz
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfpruJEFLT
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp33ofWBLC2
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv0gW9LczP
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IXh98golE
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mMH4408eI
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatELztVnyU
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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPhLD9xVIF
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyLG5xmIma
"Try me.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHkPj7kjfS
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhm9jfiLt1
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgSq9H8K1p
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ARvAJmYqo
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5qiDMN3Og
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TpobSf6nR
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdSAMD9AIB
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlasBnHjF4
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw0DoHSwV3
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UsdV0jMBJ
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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMlDFLaByi
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q2t3ehDQd
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpS7UhJzMC
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVZJkktenP
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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWE0xtJ1BE
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOFxUD7wks
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOb6ZFm0Cr
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPcGhqaJsJ
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZcXkwH1ka
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SKUs2DFqG
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymTm7sP2Ir
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtx9nrwcXD
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2OLbUA7yb
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9prDRk8Lm
"Take it off, baby!"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ2UNGdWfu
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFUZWMLGGm
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb0uOR2LG7
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYVM9GR4Sj
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetGWVt2Y5p
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoMZ1tmWsa
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4NMQPI3jb
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms3roY0Z0r
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2RedAU29R
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpRfQgYxDX
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUMlyFqzFF
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5SwgBSuVh
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ueB8cEWN
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ9G3fPaEe
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XDAOdA7Sj
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPzqyVEDxB
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9hAkbcdJG
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lIUDWXCYD
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3jPi7pc7c
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWlQE7cOlU
*BANG* *BANG* 418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOTLBepMcG
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhzVbt1etw
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46m8yOwIUK
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsinUML6Qt
"Turn the fucking music off now!"418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWLvfnpBdc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwF1BPCo23
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjxtPVA5J4
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDh0eimWf6
"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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK5bxnLlJe
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBay1bt1WOf
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiI5XaKQuG
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXeESBO9Qs
"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."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkjqsQGVvw
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoo8sLvnfa
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqywoBOfRf
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y9MM9a9sM
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.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI24OXsNJw
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPDj8Ucgfd
"Get up and go."418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuG3AASJYl
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkVR8zqgCl
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uJn1i4tKw
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQSrPeXfvX
I'm so fucking dead.418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxfISclK1k
