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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhskuBp3TA
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQMaxq32Kq
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI4thq1xcj
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMHHwzjdDr
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntnjcCkDU9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjFVkszukp
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTBdpPJFeH
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MlgKEkRgi
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pYR952brG
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJp5imD4Wm
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Q2PH1mXz
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkXgWUScp7
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62e3AbRUdB
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iI3Ww5dJ0
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FYUymFpel
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozWohAWVuY
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hP0yIXhGO
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXag3Ck9Ut2
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH8azV8OV0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMom4BhTWJ0
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdjB1R7VOf
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrFtb9RW6g
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nlmtp3Mgi
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Qld7WRV8
"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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1AhSLZyHf
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKPV0rdH1L
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0KLSWMx3T
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0jHky5xd7
"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?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCudibX6nAe
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG2qFdBsD2
"Okay, mom."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFge65qJxR
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESppgOywYN
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZoY3PxW3R
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKhU38ZZj7
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaCmZjAhcg
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOolzIykPds
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdYfl3LPCZ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlemMhNw2Zg
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WGi7scGpR
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡums5y2XcdM
"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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOcAadtDpg
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7xuCZTEZ9
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKGECig6fb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPVFaJ0pvH
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriZT5gSwEt
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tmuygyBV6
"Sorry."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05VVFUZuL5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQukmE9uGZ
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebgs79Ek7n
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VuAS9hyod
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeGGmx8I0G
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJorOxUgUh1
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ3KLJsuy2
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyUYSwE4L8
"I'm not that bad looking."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTpXc0ODFF
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu8KNTlHxr
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. 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsu6a7vhmu
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG5Ow4bdxH
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVFHcbh3mn
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PA8KwRw1f
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvlq4FaKmg
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR1NJd3F98
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmeTfR3m1P
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXcxqElYeh
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxcAMwfKq5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ntZK86k74
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmTKIiUfq5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBwmiPvKyy
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhUemLSUDE
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HXhlu8zQ8
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS81u2QHLB
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z0L4wZ3Th
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYgh4KIJTC
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsWTlCXSPp
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLigm84ezxY
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdFeqMFVe3
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6D9pJl2yB
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBisMivdV8
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT688i6evnY
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhHKm3Qp7H
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hnIajco0b
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN7xoEaGRl
"I don't want to get into it."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEFAySLpWi
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBTSwqiFEa
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lYQ3vIXYj
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAhPVD5fU2
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsnjmiz3vs
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jacrIRDG0
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwfcIc66LS
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNRx2n6xos
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRF3lqPzR2
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0IhZNVyUr
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFAYdSgnKK
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfalvoinMK
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDNpNvNBaW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ0DVBfxYU
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvB8WkKFe4
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK0vCSAgRC
"What's going on, Quinn?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGEDmnGRGP
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfELU5tbWw6
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSxVnJrUor
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLddCCboZYd
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaXXCsZHJ5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwANDjVmac
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPJpbRF7Wf
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4TSPx1cQq
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqPlDqcAfo
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht8JxwA3tx
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALyBWV7Bxa
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz238jOe3T
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAksUwmbMov
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyyq0i4c65
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrGgmxC0zS
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeljb3uvpo
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSR5j6yYV0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELGO69N8lB
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DWI4hZt6L
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEozVnbBnk
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEPI40Jylb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdTk06Kdu9
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXb0XDluWw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhmv2pz47s
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInWRz75mRI
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWYRL7J73K
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LyeABpATb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc8Liwzkbq
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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CkWPTQO63
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdXWSIRXvN
"He's here?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ3wld2yru
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhsdYyn8s0
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Tbfscyiv
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoYNaAG549
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavVth6C27Z
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOKqyn2vfW
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSHlKX7Dky
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfug5zFvqE
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPW9gzTUmY
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdPSYZwPLb
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6dxdltj5i
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ms7m67Ai5
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMySfqJ5j4S
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYkkpSZDSW
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW4INfxlsw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh9F1ph2sh
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedQzGDjtW4
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBZZovCbWc
_339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEi2lnVJuY
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4LZHED0HJ
"Keep up, Quinn!"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeSuqFSF0m
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9PpvfH3t1
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBtEwyB7Ah
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhWqjRySG2
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD6a6vzTrn
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbCjStRTK3
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVqlt1OZCl
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvTOZydgRT
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yNBpCwEto
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuVNy6wI8o
"Dick!"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh7oZjoMUw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiFyAGoAwT
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY0IRLJXZZ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1BKWqOI7u
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPMBBTuuNb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3Cyccp67H
"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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdXr3n9cWj
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ693BX5i0xY
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHKcB00hA6
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdacYuOB5G
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqbrG2gI6o
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNsh25nIkt
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. 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qv3W9VBH5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaU8XH002n
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgpQYSCGKO
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7KcTIe7oz
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsR0jcCvtV
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5K1mqUjq9
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdYzcOKUBZ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzvXhEvVQt
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHdToSgoRM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCcqLiqsYV
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuhBkHfL5x
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLitlLar7q
"You could say that."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdujDls4o3
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbvcIz9Zw5
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdqQozxRFh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGl8q8ERZX
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSntpLPt4ua
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHqHIkhNjk
"Me too."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt9RxVFtIE
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNeJs2nH9U
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6a5zxp9U2
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFOxGLKOtl
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbe90YritU
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8jDgsKSCO
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXmml1KIDj
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoeqbgoQBe
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4pHqPh1aB
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTOTePmDhO
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBS9E9fjQ6
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxUoE3Z66q
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsYbMg5qWR
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbMz5UsPCO
"Money laundering?" I laughed.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6ganY09YI
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ono12eRNK
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtCe5Y0MbW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBXRKXWPjU
"Seems like a lot to handle."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBzd5k8vVl
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfqWC7B0hb
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g5BrwSOmz
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogz92I7KuU
"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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxJLlUQaqx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J9SMVcVpb
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAexPVWZHTw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnjlJu7VRc
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyQiY0s92x
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPB6jN9Dsq
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xaaoKwZzC
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmflE2jK3M
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjeYlOd5yn
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP80R0CWxy
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkjT135O0r
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ6CunWs50
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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9dUl7tvyk
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BYw8oSW5d
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa76FDChFQc
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPclTKx6szB
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiC9njvtrz
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI23djzcPIH
"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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytT2udeKgz
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8ey4bP8yg
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaY1tpVfj2
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSah8vk6bm
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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkMJIWP6Au
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN95mHlFIF
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvK5cr3vMb
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDZeHkdtkj
"Are the two of you close?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8r4OHHcls
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0bnAY6vDI
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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7fimDsM1f
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6TryXAu5k
"What about you?" 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtNSHtf60K
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV5YsUD8ud
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgixhUW66A
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOupArfGjbC
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5LZDxlKO5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjhns12GO1
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHwRDyGdYl
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLwu6cx6De
"Sounds like the life." 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHR5ngIvyE
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvBKw3lFES
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSRctzZKH9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RMT9bf9FP
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRJ8zgssCm
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXHqwNX0AX
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KXidjwQg4
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vk6k20eHp
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv8H2TYq1K
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3cM6VKm7Z
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI16z6UQR0J
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwRRmsGlQK
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvjRon1rre
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICI6u8cIyo
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgYazw4KnH
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18eldYeNl6
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgG30OTLrY
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybMB0xdNPD
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3cv3Uqhnx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsNVFiDLJh
"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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ylvaufCz0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3vgGTyaqg
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIJOazbDLa
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejDGji2poW
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-"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ763iVE5FYx
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCB5kq06C9
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVmC61VWms
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9vCQYJ7Nm
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsiKAg9zAg
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EqOy7Qfdi
"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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe954VjENm
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgbrGclcDn
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1e1JcIITf
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp5MT6ccYm
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eYEl9v7Q7
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8I4EHGWFu
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrruMQh0DfV
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQirzO1iN9x
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0lcKgT1zV
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly03QeHLfH
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTzlpOVceN
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTejjEvFEy5
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVuJ9DdX9m
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLoLvR5Mn7
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt0SwMK6b0
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRGhy733da
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JNvzqckvw
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt64GMOKMgw
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs2MAxH7YP
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnCYECKrsl
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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoV3a28Gtd
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1RtQgqq6V
"Try me.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYCo9v9aZK
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjTMgBiQtQ
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML161NIush
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmbrZLLCY4
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkm6wp2jh2
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0BblrByXl
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5P6ZLcSxP
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekYROPVBhR
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVhozV9Vks
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5elhYTHIx0
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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ax2WRtk9
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUw8ox0k9T
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoz94ZBbWW
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4A6fQfvrf
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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qCovryjOM
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymGzRZ5bBH
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVfDl36K4i
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP2wjMWBxI
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxQ1j2nZYh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfvc7lNt5B
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX05TWzi5xu
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTtnc1oLre
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyValJi3wT5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf1eeeUkqd
"Take it off, baby!"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuoexFUI3y
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYWu4IeFve
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX2cl0IDhh
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pUsK1qTdh
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1bODargsB
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08mckxVQbG
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQZIPgNRJz
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJWQ9unYQG
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHbyAhQTHd
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyULQEuFDPH
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhupOvCWe3
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7acBeBwxlC
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl76aroPdvE
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9n99Tk5eo
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92EFrsm7yc
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcklPS0WjD
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwubFnRJvC
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mEqKSmXqg
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjaGevQz7f
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoByPO2ANu6
*BANG* *BANG* 339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwMyP5JJZ6
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt2gx1m2YQ
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK7EbiGd4O
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmbHq3g67F
"Turn the fucking music off now!"339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW2EIbcrDJ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUeP30BXrC
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8CODs6JNZ
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0vW5DldlF
"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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EXbKImLho
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WVoYBpAkk
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaabqmjZEF
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2qfN2VmWH
"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."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblok01C0E4
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCi7wNVWdF
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWhpYHQgko
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jhP1Uy0T8
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.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0kFzhY8un
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YdN9OsTV7
"Get up and go."339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wrMsmyuq5
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjaFr9U6E4
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C1V7uFIPj
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW7JuWjKlp
I'm so fucking dead.339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQp0i9i5HW
