"How do you like your eggs?"269Please respect copyright.PENANA47VNP5b1o9
269Please respect copyright.PENANAb8TA3es7L8
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."269Please respect copyright.PENANAZhXDX8lERu
269Please respect copyright.PENANARSHjITS5qo
She laughed and turned with a platter full of fluffy pancakes and waffles. The island had a beautiful spread of breakfast foods. You would think she was feeding at least fifteen people.269Please respect copyright.PENANA7EaZNrJQuA
269Please respect copyright.PENANAYcIRNFqHoU
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."269Please respect copyright.PENANAzrmI0DvZiZ
269Please respect copyright.PENANAln5Wmslq0J
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAggX0VL2ikT
269Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pa40Ed5Ie
She shook her head, "No, Mr. Wolfe has some of his men back. They stay here sometimes for weeks or months at a time before leaving again."269Please respect copyright.PENANA0PzzN0ym64
269Please respect copyright.PENANAMRFw60UFuj
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.269Please respect copyright.PENANAoZodJDykmo
269Please respect copyright.PENANAixSrXAzwLP
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.269Please respect copyright.PENANAWGCvN2NIHN
269Please respect copyright.PENANA57njZHCwWK
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."269Please respect copyright.PENANA9br6AFi9Id
269Please respect copyright.PENANAeEEv53GIOd
May blushed and turned back towards the stove to finish up. I looked the newcomer over again and felt my cheeks redden a bit as well. He was massive and I mean muscular in every way physically possible. His blonde hair had a curl to it and he had the prettiest emerald green eyes.269Please respect copyright.PENANA3fxBW2ctg8
269Please respect copyright.PENANAzyb09w3lW8
I tried not to look down at the very noticeable trail of hair and v-line plunging deep beneath his towel. This guy had super model written all over him.269Please respect copyright.PENANASMPthSUFef
269Please respect copyright.PENANAGFNUfvLikH
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.269Please respect copyright.PENANAF3ANotR1Re
269Please respect copyright.PENANAY8B06bXny9
"Nothing to like."269Please respect copyright.PENANA8yXDdJTiHT
269Please respect copyright.PENANAU2TNNE6onm
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."269Please respect copyright.PENANAqx95utjs26
269Please respect copyright.PENANAaHhsxnbjnu
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.269Please respect copyright.PENANAsqbOrQuGsI
269Please respect copyright.PENANArebOPVjIyT
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAlcaDzfFTm5
269Please respect copyright.PENANAEWUS16KQOz
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."269Please respect copyright.PENANALRLEAlONFh
269Please respect copyright.PENANAE5nmnDFi0e
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."269Please respect copyright.PENANAvsUDtwxBYj
269Please respect copyright.PENANAyZtS9luBSZ
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAAT8BMM1biw
269Please respect copyright.PENANAbKtPfyi0D3
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."269Please respect copyright.PENANAg2hulNiIYw
269Please respect copyright.PENANA7DR3ThocWr
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.269Please respect copyright.PENANAhzDLfyx1uA
269Please respect copyright.PENANAHTIkg58Ghw
"Thank you."269Please respect copyright.PENANAxEiNdhUrN9
269Please respect copyright.PENANArTjfFceoKF
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAB9S6SN31b4
269Please respect copyright.PENANAHD0LT0Tsbx
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAChIMNMYYYR
269Please respect copyright.PENANAMjWpIGRDvS
"Yeah, you know t-"269Please respect copyright.PENANAphaO3KYelH
269Please respect copyright.PENANACtiI2XXPCA
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."269Please respect copyright.PENANApYHpoe96V2
269Please respect copyright.PENANA9TmyDL5iHd
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAv1xMCo0YBn
269Please respect copyright.PENANAtjcx8zaJRR
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."269Please respect copyright.PENANAotB7iZk0Wz
269Please respect copyright.PENANA8dSkcdFb5A
"Just ignore him, Robbie. Jax doesn't know how to behave in front of women." May smiled warmly, but continued to glare in his direction.269Please respect copyright.PENANAzexuwhwDJH
269Please respect copyright.PENANAOIMs0s3Jlr
"I'm just curious about this place," I told her honestly. "I obviously know a little from what I signed...but there's still a lot to uncover."269Please respect copyright.PENANAxIlbZfUHCU
269Please respect copyright.PENANAqVbmYo9TNW
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"269Please respect copyright.PENANA2dz3sxbTYP
269Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4OWybL9oG
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAOgV8XuET6M
269Please respect copyright.PENANAfR1OZKLeEY
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.269Please respect copyright.PENANARaJjSSwRqy
269Please respect copyright.PENANAovuAkDvUh7
He had the same blonde hair like Jax except short and styled. He was a lot shorter, thin and had a very boyish face with little freckles spattered all over his nose.269Please respect copyright.PENANATLRN2V3y9G
269Please respect copyright.PENANAHFm7DQw2xH
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."269Please respect copyright.PENANA0HHoVs9pK6
269Please respect copyright.PENANABITdNhNODh
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAJmCjljw1KP
269Please respect copyright.PENANAA6TbxNrCih
"Yeah, we do. I, not as much, since I'm only sixteen but I plan to do some serious convincing on my eighteenth birthday!" Landon winked.269Please respect copyright.PENANAm4BJ94UgYh
269Please respect copyright.PENANAYtnmzTCEOa
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.269Please respect copyright.PENANAc8SFcupZUF
269Please respect copyright.PENANAiKj1BEQNG2
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."269Please respect copyright.PENANACBUo9jgZ9K
269Please respect copyright.PENANAS1rX1PzAva
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 269Please respect copyright.PENANAQWssaJiABA
269Please respect copyright.PENANAieMtrlYGHn
Watching the two of them together really made me miss Josh even more. We were constantly getting into silly little fights over nothing and at the time I was always so angry with him. I wish I would've cherished those times before I knew I'd never have them again.269Please respect copyright.PENANAx2OzFNOT3Y
269Please respect copyright.PENANArETMJlJajs
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."269Please respect copyright.PENANA5JoMhMJmCi
269Please respect copyright.PENANAGpIypFJe1x
"You knew him?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAKtzj8iZLTV
269Please respect copyright.PENANAwId8YdESXq
"Oh, yeah! Josh was a great asset here," Landon laughed but stopped when he caught his brother's gaze. "Anyways, I have to get going but it was nice meeting you."269Please respect copyright.PENANAjkE1jZW6V3
269Please respect copyright.PENANAAIcfZcORY9
I smiled, "You too!"269Please respect copyright.PENANAWgleBADkMe
269Please respect copyright.PENANAcvl9K03nbF
I watched as Jax rushed out of the room with Landon hot on his trail. The two brothers childishly started throwing punches at each other as they disappeared from view.269Please respect copyright.PENANAKZkZlvStbo
269Please respect copyright.PENANAU2S3zpNhxc
"Sorry about them, Robbie." May sighed and sat down across from me. She looked exhausted with her silvery hair tossed into a messy bun and black circles under her eyes.269Please respect copyright.PENANA47qdImzzG0
269Please respect copyright.PENANA5jBoo6KaQL
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."269Please respect copyright.PENANASeOrEVaAHq
269Please respect copyright.PENANAyKk99wTKGq
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."269Please respect copyright.PENANAYz3FtKBaYT
269Please respect copyright.PENANAGkPpqJCUrh
"Meeting here?" I asked her.269Please respect copyright.PENANAOiLQ0Jr75E
269Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ0g8B2E1Q
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.269Please respect copyright.PENANAg6rQ2E0687
269Please respect copyright.PENANAO8dLp8vLTz
I pushed away from the island and walked around to stand next to her by the sink. She eyed me cautiously as I took a wet rag from the side and started helping her clean plates.269Please respect copyright.PENANApzTDRgBAsb
269Please respect copyright.PENANA10D5NbAD4O
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."269Please respect copyright.PENANAR6yaJCEa9G
269Please respect copyright.PENANARGOznS8zMx
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."269Please respect copyright.PENANA1FAv9q5B38
269Please respect copyright.PENANAKflWRoCzkd
"You're a sweet girl, Robbie." She said as she wiped down the plate in her hands. "I'm really glad you decided to stay with us."269Please respect copyright.PENANAFXWF6cZkrQ
269Please respect copyright.PENANAQFPEm8B9Mp
I looked down at her and grinned. I so badly wanted to trust what she was saying to and could already feel myself growing fond of the sweet woman.269Please respect copyright.PENANAQfAXgN6ZfO
269Please respect copyright.PENANAtwaG97DJRT
There was just too much I didn't know yet.269Please respect copyright.PENANAB3seYHoSfX
269Please respect copyright.PENANAqM0uCK5TMs
"May! There you are."269Please respect copyright.PENANAxRdItut085
269Please respect copyright.PENANAShhwwyAy2V
The two of us looked up as Mr. Williams entered the kitchen and immediately came up to plant a sweet kiss on his wife's cheek.269Please respect copyright.PENANA9IbxBfDuvZ
269Please respect copyright.PENANAyVvsJScoSa
At first, I had barely recognized him since he wasn't in his driver's uniform. He looked so casual in his sweats and white tee.269Please respect copyright.PENANAaSfU1XlL8G
269Please respect copyright.PENANACIMAS6KIiM
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.269Please respect copyright.PENANAoBG3aiw6JA
269Please respect copyright.PENANAaf3vo9zv8N
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."269Please respect copyright.PENANAtAIYNAyLxQ
269Please respect copyright.PENANAK58itgsIIL
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."269Please respect copyright.PENANAivxp9sbz94
269Please respect copyright.PENANAbjh3k1BHu7
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.269Please respect copyright.PENANABhAhVFu4bw
269Please respect copyright.PENANA3is1bfj7If
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.269Please respect copyright.PENANAE8jxOGObCM
269Please respect copyright.PENANAr7bzn7Y2uf
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.269Please respect copyright.PENANAGjC9LkE9AD
269Please respect copyright.PENANAbZIFbb3Qmv
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."269Please respect copyright.PENANAtIvJGjO7qa
269Please respect copyright.PENANAWGpLGf6oOX
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."269Please respect copyright.PENANAsqBTJ8RspH
269Please respect copyright.PENANAdcN4pDbv0O
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."269Please respect copyright.PENANANU1RYZgH0l
269Please respect copyright.PENANA1IUYA8MKL6
"Oh, you will, darling," He said as he leaned against the counter. "I met May at twenty-four years old in college. She caught my eye immediately and I was a nervous wreck to ask her out on a date." He laughed at the memory. "I worked up enough courage though and she actually said yes."269Please respect copyright.PENANAUmvzsfjjUE
269Please respect copyright.PENANAcCFQ0L1gmR
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."269Please respect copyright.PENANA6Nlgh8zL6M
269Please respect copyright.PENANA3zNVj0KeHt
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"269Please respect copyright.PENANAwu88WFsMgs
269Please respect copyright.PENANAySAmMehMv6
"She loves you!" I chuckled and watched as May walked back towards the two of us. Her eyes so bright and full of love for him.269Please respect copyright.PENANAsmCqHeyx5g
269Please respect copyright.PENANAGDcJmg2zAe
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."269Please respect copyright.PENANATeq7oWoGH5
269Please respect copyright.PENANAUdjF4bt8Pa
"Alright!" May said loudly and turned towards me as he released her. "How about a girl's day while the boys do their business thing?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAJrGcrsaFwe
269Please respect copyright.PENANAucapoJHbSz
"Sure!" I said brightly.269Please respect copyright.PENANAmajLG888lo
269Please respect copyright.PENANAH7KhZY1BMi
Honestly, getting out of this big ass house of awhile was starting to sound like heaven to me. I didn't know where anything was and if I'm expected to stay in California, I might as well try to make the most of it.269Please respect copyright.PENANAokvlOEE8vr
269Please respect copyright.PENANANBTqRoctbr
_269Please respect copyright.PENANA3PXMOj0zBC
269Please respect copyright.PENANAyvXgkuYgM8
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"269Please respect copyright.PENANAeiliiXbn5O
269Please respect copyright.PENANAjRvdOXF54s
I panted hard as May stopped at the top of the hill. She had several bags tucked under her arms and was still scouting shops as she moved.269Please respect copyright.PENANAbWhtzXPune
269Please respect copyright.PENANApo59GvXT91
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.269Please respect copyright.PENANA0GsTZdIB9O
269Please respect copyright.PENANA4fidnBHx5C
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAxci9H3bjt1
269Please respect copyright.PENANArntZ82RmIK
Thank god! Pizza! 269Please respect copyright.PENANAsOcEWJrm2e
269Please respect copyright.PENANAMzdYFQXzgd
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.269Please respect copyright.PENANAxI5zsBLcaZ
269Please respect copyright.PENANAe6d2ZUt0Bo
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.269Please respect copyright.PENANAPpNc1KjnVY
269Please respect copyright.PENANAqVgC58iHGM
She casually looked over my shoulder at the black van parked alongside the curb. When we had left the estate in her car they were on us within seconds. The entire day they kept a minimal distance as the two of us hurried in and out of every shop that caught May's interest.269Please respect copyright.PENANAevbYz7qIsf
269Please respect copyright.PENANA23tdHtns3u
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.269Please respect copyright.PENANAqjR63FHf79
269Please respect copyright.PENANAS6yNO7Wpbd
"You'll get used to it."269Please respect copyright.PENANAVW7lW8soRa
269Please respect copyright.PENANAqR6Z1LevUO
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"269Please respect copyright.PENANAIeUMCixkIU
269Please respect copyright.PENANAbdLSIjQ72E
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."269Please respect copyright.PENANA3CULwzuyOr
269Please respect copyright.PENANAiOpZpAuNTs
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 269Please respect copyright.PENANAwbSfMemtAJ
269Please respect copyright.PENANAO6FUhXFYYa
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."269Please respect copyright.PENANAYbJ8xSHPZI
269Please respect copyright.PENANAKLFTwcg5hU
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 269Please respect copyright.PENANAojHRgwu7WK
269Please respect copyright.PENANA7RqNK5gcEq
"Mother?" I pushed.269Please respect copyright.PENANApnhhws8zAr
269Please respect copyright.PENANALAUTKX5NEn
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."269Please respect copyright.PENANAdQoFksdNYj
269Please respect copyright.PENANAQegqeLDmqq
I started to ask her something else but stopped when I realized there was a crowd building up outside of the pizza place and some incromphensible shouting.269Please respect copyright.PENANArWUJC8Vmsi
269Please respect copyright.PENANAeWNMK32rrv
I stepped out of the line and peered around the curious bystanders to see three men who had been in the van following us step out from the vehicle and walk quickly towards a sleek, black sports car that was parked next to the curb.269Please respect copyright.PENANANflLPUM1g0
269Please respect copyright.PENANA0pICejedHv
"May?" I said, confused.269Please respect copyright.PENANALUbrCNU0KP
269Please respect copyright.PENANAGYkbJXxISm
She didn't respond, instead she tossed some money at the cashier and tugged me by the arm hard until I followed her out of the pizza place. I stumbled over my own feet several times as she guided me through the thick crowd and back up the street towards her car.269Please respect copyright.PENANA219GaiXUuC
269Please respect copyright.PENANAGaTaQkgOkH
"Wait!" I shouted and looked back at the car and people staring at it in wonder. It seemed as if the three men who were in the van were blocking the people from seeing who was inside.269Please respect copyright.PENANAbyjOXZPMM0
269Please respect copyright.PENANAabkWlvdYfh
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."269Please respect copyright.PENANA9pK4RSzEUE
269Please respect copyright.PENANAgBn2abBEqs
I held onto the edge of the door and looked over towards the car again. The men guarding it continued to instruct people to move back.269Please respect copyright.PENANAn0NK8CsoaD
269Please respect copyright.PENANAqKkoZOeHYg
I watched eagerly as the driver's side door opened up like a birds wing and a tall man dressed in a sleek, black suit stepped out and reached up to adjust his collar.269Please respect copyright.PENANAJYa1Iziiy4
269Please respect copyright.PENANA6GNJ6dlEaw
He had dark brown hair slicked back neatly with the sides shaved showing what looked to be colorful tattoos on his skull and neck. He reached up and pushed his dark shades onto his face and looked down to fix the edges of his suit displaying heavy tattoos littering his hands.269Please respect copyright.PENANAGJQLzcHvbJ
269Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ01pncI4d
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.269Please respect copyright.PENANA96efPShxge
269Please respect copyright.PENANAN0Cc8jaXTP
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.269Please respect copyright.PENANA9YgtvkijuR
269Please respect copyright.PENANAJGrJ3zdFsu
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.269Please respect copyright.PENANA1Fh9o8zCjE
269Please respect copyright.PENANATykoj8z3JP
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.269Please respect copyright.PENANA2T5h4q5FJl
269Please respect copyright.PENANALdEALbWlh8
"Kalon Wolfe."269Please respect copyright.PENANAXZLhyrqbDT
269Please respect copyright.PENANA4744AddRmx
269Please respect copyright.PENANABgNeV8d30i
