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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpol1TKyNuH
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWfja2gWLO
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIWUcfeizy
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB2uigWaVh
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVhERLIf7n
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX1LZxH4N5
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5oTTg4aDR
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r2VvuS06M
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7cesVFKGv
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JfNrOcYNW
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkMf07EmWB
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99dupQixSR
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMxTnMfvGv
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN70XQ7gXyJ
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbJO0cmMfV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfPw93Vw0k
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O5lvK27Xz
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIWghd10OJ
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhJ639tr2a
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnO40ktjqW
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ydO2Qvoy
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN8bgMZY7v
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiaAB1MfQZ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ6Xd29dVU
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiDb09q78y
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOnwmbisy9
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva0KaT62Fa
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYsBJu8aCT
"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?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY2A0601MG
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc9U2l2pNC
"Okay, mom."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPtDgFMUFg
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EIYsmWHUt
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu68xTERoyG
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBO8siWtQx
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVczkTHISeK
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgowps8Tyyj
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkHLjhSBPl
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC7vdRNXVk
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3omGT7AhiA
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsAAX7LjXR
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhqzbEa39P
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmH61WVvpl
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr3acaXKs0
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rAp1jZBD8
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EXkkkRB4G
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoVY1ZlYhV
"Sorry."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmn7Zrbpth
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWEc8MOH8M
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE1SkyFSZV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwC6LBpyaf
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIadjLLpLza
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ6nSX4VgL
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVLxTttFkv
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjfpXWcoqh
"I'm not that bad looking."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2fPITZUZT
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdpfgVA08s
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8FkikFoaU
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Lvlvbmgi
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGXrHIBpWa
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mv6c9Pipv
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88P5ysGbSE
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2jeKoepXf
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLomVEtg4uC
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOYTyiN5yy
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt4221lwQy
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfEgwLZ5MX
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstJof6REbt
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGuJuz7lsb
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wak1AQM5M
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfpYQBDoo5
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KsePFJpU7
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomgtVftCYP
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLppildKbO
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVoGJ8UYJh
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDbAsBb1W2
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6nB9OHurY
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMeLRQDO25
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJrLTsQSJq
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FvBd6AQee
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAp6oxOZXu
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnwrmTsrnq
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbdi9YDrjl
"I don't want to get into it."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPWIqhEG4P
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppXwYqIXDw
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hWrQ6ZEwr
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDTUPvT9oq
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iyMfnlfFi
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9FAc7lveq
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3qqVSOAnd
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugz9btrWoY
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYUoV2Tu5V
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiyhFcxDLi
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmp1oDZ2qd
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjiX35rdsY
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNBRvY3vw3
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg7cMR3c6S
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKmRbktyrJ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiXHsj8EOK
"What's going on, Quinn?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRgH2P7eRb
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN8rCIiShD
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WL5mfERfV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tizgKUr1S
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKNtjZ5e2K
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIRlRKIaPL
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Pst9teOS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dPbJ9fYws
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqvsaJGfQq
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn14qLn0kmY
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvKSre5Q6m
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2CGaQ5A2V
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHsI9pclj4
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t7n7Ghy4T
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u3QYY8Cxu
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLANKYdpng8
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFulfKkw1n
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqrrGIwssI
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR7214q9Ns
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BK1A502cJ
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg0oOlddzd
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oD168qwTq
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlzPtGrpMx
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O2tjCMm8u
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3u3k6Sdwz
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC9hrspaeV
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeE6aZBz59
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HvJr4mAqP
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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqG2TPHhTl
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ5mZFkxt9
"He's here?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwTX8zaVS1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX06etwAtBd
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4VfRvowcf
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjfNeSwgEU
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTfCRE0VnA
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyWqvGaru0
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ELNmA4XS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BWFZa4iVD
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPhJQg4r5B
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl7jYd8DyJ
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrrbd9YJPH
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa8aCTOkmX
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEsimX8L3C
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsl6o37aCn
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQrmp69GdZ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVGhsab4NI
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7n52vhLZC
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKO6hjrIEr
_375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbovK3bEz4F
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqifWDejxX
"Keep up, Quinn!"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA8JGNGQdh
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmzpqogxXm
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1D9TA06Jo
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctIFiZARcM
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIcVCkjuqR
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HsxVkNhGv
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMCVTPb58Q
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjCZg0kne1
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaiZfvwic6
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Xfvp0QsO
"Dick!"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZuOyfW0VC
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0XtPxLbeK
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuYiMeKRIJ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC82eG3wdOB
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU1rkrJntK
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3BVbmX8yt
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw3zMwvgi8
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE1iqWEz70
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpkHoWPkNf
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn5JCMMuOC
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvllPHpVLOw
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztg4olxl5f
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdBhAPa4xK
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVUTu30wxw
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakMkADKLiq
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSKSSppNDe
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOCpeeSAZ2
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh88IWjvNM3
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AFmBLXgdg
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75SGlj2txf
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTJN1PgHXl
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07wSm3KEw2
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL50PIyyMF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Ap5DoeFo
"You could say that."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGISGcQ1O3
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsLZZCb9ek
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKAMLYnkQH
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ7ROoMnpX
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUPa01FeIG
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaTfxWvq1f
"Me too."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPywznMrFU
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rc7vOR4Lr
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgrkAwboUR
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3HHNtle0x
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KmKJKzaix
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92qFwcDiDY
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJgYqxM5yL
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEr81NFMZb
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJLBkhFWOX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYkdozfrk2
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCQLMFTH27
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocZRPxRwvs
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HLkQXiqHc
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXhZfyWAZ3
"Money laundering?" I laughed.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAwKH81ssq
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV7I8iVB6C
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC7Dinsgj1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87ZJsCpum6
"Seems like a lot to handle."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNoHxlr3Qb
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXlKl8Fw1m
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexDlXBLKr9
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUMHoFvzEd
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sF1Z1pqMX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G9ZWCOz17
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwS8QVLk6I
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dbQqSYbO6
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7dDIyOvV5
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCJa7XLt9H
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt3UmDHlUL
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Okuvpc5xE
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4sLQOfyxx
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmPX8SOyO9
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicy6nvykhk
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy19zb7dHY
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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaPG29LUDj
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU964IL3Mj
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo2jSQGesr
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxniOG3WcFb
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C7eMOoaUK
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMUUznotyG
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXxKGdjvn6
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA7PwzI0Iz
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlrjf6SJIp
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpWjJ6TlIm
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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59c9tv1KvD
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iyEyKChQK
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ka3OrD2K4

"Are the two of you close?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNETHxo2B5S
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpdKQp2Bsh
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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG6GYsCuTP
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU53mShQdJc
"What about you?" 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOgJMPz9i3
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhHBVEZPWG
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBaSG4D8eH
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvtZKZ0pml
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEbt7oy8qD
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjPec7xmtK
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OkJRzC97s
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hmbbFTO0O
"Sounds like the life." 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5IW1W35uK
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz76CBhnp7
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Wr8KaAfY
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPwe0n8NIg
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS3xYE5HIv
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5HQgqg06F
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WKqCTXe7V
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVrziOrzaR
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGzXs9uS2x
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9lEX0OZZl
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9XfD6svYI
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWXi0p7DL3
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCErujPafY
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDoYDg8z4o
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwexZPP1wz
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcxExoPAzi
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn73c4QVWQ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXK13Ercv9
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0gNlVv6VX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyPqTi2be0
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSWtAFkJiz
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FFy5mIJv1
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx02iJrJfCt
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJoo92yq7
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-"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDyxQ82L0Q
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrXhGWnbF2
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB992TzLhkg
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpvqXDgoGQ
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcyOdZAkRW
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcIR4tuP8z
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0l9D311nk
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfp58xGuHr
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZOD0rRsbc
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWxebiOKBZ
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ246aiqr8EF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZxZ366Fr1
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RC6YtV6eJ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqKHcSzlxf
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenaZp1rW6N
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6PP4atM6c
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D6cmJGaAi
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKYg11aeeO
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02XgoQRoif
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIKQ2ENXjr
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR5pnnTjOh
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKsrIrNkk0
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocqpgQDk8s
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYtVKCfihp
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOeUMnXeDG
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y3xmZP4fK
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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy9r8f3hVs
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C7iSDGv2X
"Try me.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIAdFEON91
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM90M5mphRQ
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUq0bvXHz2
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA5cOxrCq7
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBYcDhWIZY
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpisjpvKP6J
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpd8DZPuRj
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9alPGnSsJd
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqzOV2PTv3
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Izypm2MZ
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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacFjs1ilPf
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNH8kEYGJ6
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9iKzuCNGI
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjb45CyULC
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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfijnHXZ9r
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ949szBkbWV
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWd92sMYuo
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi7Jyz2PZI
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaFKOB9omC
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ677pAi0Nbu
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi9zvyzNQP
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6tKjcHUSG
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQff9MUwdz
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB5lB59Ig3
"Take it off, baby!"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFXZO1z8vM
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGl3d4DIz0
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSX6aPBdfI
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilUwjVq9L8
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS8rlRhj3a
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2NM8m6DFU
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcztzO4FTC
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81qQVVx5tt
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV6VbJpHKN
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXlSO7lxVH
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6lAmnx5ud
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfbfG9G78b
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1FpZCAjYG
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEbzT905VJ
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0wbVIZx0S
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwma7llLE0
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA3bLC0Ggr
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5QMcxrg9L
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3iAvsvQ3b
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk1R7mqynk
*BANG* *BANG* 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJowJ7OnqF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnOJqYsnXJ
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynmdthHDDQ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR6C9Tk2Cy
"Turn the fucking music off now!"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YSrqMmfdQ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j62nf2yZ8
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj6mCudvce
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJVc0oBorv
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInaBwfgTkX
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg6Z5RUVfd
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6qEMDQpm2
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZAyXXB0PS
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj3cvNnBek
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrL50gqOjd
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHyYaY7f1B
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBshcFXgcPO
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDVgyp2VqU
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAI9WD8xHn
"Get up and go."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlkNKvYuuV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoY6Iuv7Ub
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDptEXmK2f
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcZobguuNu
I'm so fucking dead.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6RiPmDAT3
