"How do you like your eggs?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAP2zxQJKQkR
285Please respect copyright.PENANAkM9jfEmnR7
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."285Please respect copyright.PENANApgTzKFyGfz
285Please respect copyright.PENANAJdHr7HuXDn
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAG194kZCpo4
285Please respect copyright.PENANAEN4nS8rEt5
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."285Please respect copyright.PENANAS8iOGjzxJH
285Please respect copyright.PENANAT2AvOSDfgn
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAgkD8Vr9P6R
285Please respect copyright.PENANALoWKm3kEmi
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."285Please respect copyright.PENANACr9bsF39SV
285Please respect copyright.PENANA9viYlCWAaz
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.285Please respect copyright.PENANAb7eSNILCVN
285Please respect copyright.PENANAryIQ1TPvja
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.285Please respect copyright.PENANAYBKIU7uOk5
285Please respect copyright.PENANAsIiwos90Ue
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."285Please respect copyright.PENANAZAWAiUzCtE
285Please respect copyright.PENANAqDrPTVVVag
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANA6PJ3eqey8K
285Please respect copyright.PENANAY79HcvnGDt
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAc6rUwA0S1U
285Please respect copyright.PENANAXejeBojY8j
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.285Please respect copyright.PENANAe5qkmqLRR1
285Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZGynXPB90
"Nothing to like."285Please respect copyright.PENANAi6qpOJpBgs
285Please respect copyright.PENANA8B3rSZhxd5
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."285Please respect copyright.PENANAwVd8HjfVDX
285Please respect copyright.PENANAWcvFka8Z9D
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.285Please respect copyright.PENANA5ftZLOOqX6
285Please respect copyright.PENANAdtrfaaoYxC
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAuN2Fz1h10h
285Please respect copyright.PENANAAu20QH8Phg
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."285Please respect copyright.PENANA1GaDmCVvpT
285Please respect copyright.PENANAqUjV5Ts5At
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."285Please respect copyright.PENANAx7MR47rhCk
285Please respect copyright.PENANAtrFGU0eUc1
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"285Please respect copyright.PENANA2PBos3l16g
285Please respect copyright.PENANAqr3QDHOo2s
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."285Please respect copyright.PENANA02VjleMZDf
285Please respect copyright.PENANAvxFCMUusee
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.285Please respect copyright.PENANAPoBVpt52JQ
285Please respect copyright.PENANAqAlD0DNLKV
"Thank you."285Please respect copyright.PENANAfauUg9O7P1
285Please respect copyright.PENANAku0RKhJBXh
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAJUOspTUhI6
285Please respect copyright.PENANAwOYjTzKkBa
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAONeWhviT4o
285Please respect copyright.PENANAN2V0HUWVxR
"Yeah, you know t-"285Please respect copyright.PENANAqE9CLcdApK
285Please respect copyright.PENANAf2RzUageDY
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."285Please respect copyright.PENANAeEkXZT0UeQ
285Please respect copyright.PENANAX8uqLF3i9e
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"285Please respect copyright.PENANA2xLETUS9sK
285Please respect copyright.PENANA7lp228IuDP
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."285Please respect copyright.PENANA2t4hsFuKGj
285Please respect copyright.PENANA19qGzLp1n6
"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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAqZu8IgyfxY
285Please respect copyright.PENANAFq3ztw9j6w
"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."285Please respect copyright.PENANAMltgKOBFbc
285Please respect copyright.PENANA6nlAdqdosp
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"285Please respect copyright.PENANAWij3R8llXA
285Please respect copyright.PENANActM29Ohk1E
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAvelLdoZ5QV
285Please respect copyright.PENANAsTgPm7ZgJP
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.285Please respect copyright.PENANAkeBx7c7nzx
285Please respect copyright.PENANAmqz2BqdCvt
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAFRfsY666sd
285Please respect copyright.PENANAiDB7XftG6y
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."285Please respect copyright.PENANABeKWM9f2ts
285Please respect copyright.PENANAqR02bYQ8tp
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAkBfQvDdtyt
285Please respect copyright.PENANAYarzylKgnd
"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.285Please respect copyright.PENANArAldHzGTuT
285Please respect copyright.PENANAZizWjjtskw
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.285Please respect copyright.PENANAZOK13fPlSY
285Please respect copyright.PENANASP5IgwTlc5
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."285Please respect copyright.PENANAks4iWbGjdH
285Please respect copyright.PENANAIPTrbz3BJk
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 285Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pi2WelvTl
285Please respect copyright.PENANApaewbBdmML
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAKVZAue2ilH
285Please respect copyright.PENANAs6ZExXtVw0
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."285Please respect copyright.PENANAegp9uaRaIe
285Please respect copyright.PENANAS5UOBBwB6v
"You knew him?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAD7kQVmuoTs
285Please respect copyright.PENANANnYERhDBnF
"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."285Please respect copyright.PENANAP2A5rxkdsD
285Please respect copyright.PENANAine9EXx1mT
I smiled, "You too!"285Please respect copyright.PENANAEdZEnG26n5
285Please respect copyright.PENANAKhfqvryvoS
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAepRmPv2n1R
285Please respect copyright.PENANAMICU2sdFTL
"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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAwuGL9wnp25
285Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5Fp22AE6A
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."285Please respect copyright.PENANAW6AG3E5XZA
285Please respect copyright.PENANA8ANHPyBFZW
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."285Please respect copyright.PENANA9SgGAdEo0o
285Please respect copyright.PENANAB5XJt8LcfQ
"Meeting here?" I asked her.285Please respect copyright.PENANAPSEyI8j2jJ
285Please respect copyright.PENANAWRhLlLuKLi
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.285Please respect copyright.PENANADb1TDyU2Zv
285Please respect copyright.PENANAmAeapaGU12
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANA9DnKu5dBOa
285Please respect copyright.PENANANp4yZATzaA
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."285Please respect copyright.PENANA8hrzq8ObKq
285Please respect copyright.PENANAhXbUijSPZ2
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."285Please respect copyright.PENANAsAEAkx8lM6
285Please respect copyright.PENANApN4IJjEjp1
"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."285Please respect copyright.PENANA4m1kjOtpNp
285Please respect copyright.PENANAxDtKNVEbGA
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAowJmG4opmc
285Please respect copyright.PENANA6zH3r8xHRf
There was just too much I didn't know yet.285Please respect copyright.PENANARIfHhhq8tj
285Please respect copyright.PENANA3DGiKrbxus
"May! There you are."285Please respect copyright.PENANAFsszurS6Iq
285Please respect copyright.PENANAHElcg5zcxO
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAOVj4bT8A1K
285Please respect copyright.PENANA6rHk41KTeP
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAYjsaOM6kp2
285Please respect copyright.PENANAh1TcZANf9l
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.285Please respect copyright.PENANA3VzZri42pv
285Please respect copyright.PENANA5gv8YliJLC
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."285Please respect copyright.PENANANtgnlfYCM5
285Please respect copyright.PENANA0VxY5f6ql9
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."285Please respect copyright.PENANAltfOFxAmEz
285Please respect copyright.PENANAAgKwpMBe48
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.285Please respect copyright.PENANAJURzY56K7B
285Please respect copyright.PENANAFzMfaXFhUe
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.285Please respect copyright.PENANAhaS8hJUdFU
285Please respect copyright.PENANA2LYb41Q1nQ
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.285Please respect copyright.PENANA7bwmVF13Kd
285Please respect copyright.PENANA7g5fFNlWzh
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."285Please respect copyright.PENANAuWO24nn4cD
285Please respect copyright.PENANARbNW4Sl8WQ
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."285Please respect copyright.PENANAByCvQmvEZh
285Please respect copyright.PENANAnLWAWznBdn
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."285Please respect copyright.PENANAzn0cDO3Ttz
285Please respect copyright.PENANATUSdUu3CMu
"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."285Please respect copyright.PENANAFY7BAoD8cE
285Please respect copyright.PENANA8fmQsM4yGR
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."285Please respect copyright.PENANAO29YXgdp1P
285Please respect copyright.PENANA1ekPfmiSRY
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"285Please respect copyright.PENANApAVtL6GK08
285Please respect copyright.PENANA2K3lPPT2rZ
"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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAKQH77qpudd
285Please respect copyright.PENANAzyj4wj6bhn
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."285Please respect copyright.PENANAjioQJ5p0d7
285Please respect copyright.PENANAtHiC3wQ75v
"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?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAqS9cVcUbnl
285Please respect copyright.PENANArFJ9pjqCUm
"Sure!" I said brightly.285Please respect copyright.PENANAeXnio6Gy9Y
285Please respect copyright.PENANA922qyKpEg0
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAl1mp2ToEQ5
285Please respect copyright.PENANASE3wmIcGOR
_285Please respect copyright.PENANAAMJc9XJLSV
285Please respect copyright.PENANADXPcImMkW7
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"285Please respect copyright.PENANAqAF1Az5WxT
285Please respect copyright.PENANA44SBdVZjDq
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANArEWybkKehR
285Please respect copyright.PENANAl6LcGMz9DU
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.285Please respect copyright.PENANAXuSvLEY5PE
285Please respect copyright.PENANA6289UqHk4i
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAUTJac6Htsn
285Please respect copyright.PENANA668Jr0gbQQ
Thank god! Pizza! 285Please respect copyright.PENANAreFpnVIkP2
285Please respect copyright.PENANAX6J0BfoYtA
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.285Please respect copyright.PENANAZdCuecbVUP
285Please respect copyright.PENANAa711avLVpb
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.285Please respect copyright.PENANAV1Dh4rmttA
285Please respect copyright.PENANAHKiuOtpA0B
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANADv8yA7JdNP
285Please respect copyright.PENANA2dHzhTkDc5
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.285Please respect copyright.PENANAdQJJSstrgV
285Please respect copyright.PENANAcX4HRMnki5
"You'll get used to it."285Please respect copyright.PENANAeonnoD5NZv
285Please respect copyright.PENANAzdEapKRBQD
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"285Please respect copyright.PENANAX8BSPyymWw
285Please respect copyright.PENANAZDKZkQBTch
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."285Please respect copyright.PENANAMF9kVOfqaq
285Please respect copyright.PENANABt4I0RAN2b
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 285Please respect copyright.PENANAbl0orbJV3H
285Please respect copyright.PENANAZidX3fv97I
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."285Please respect copyright.PENANAcE6oZtPJz0
285Please respect copyright.PENANAaP6zQPh5E8
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 285Please respect copyright.PENANAdC8RqAmZfV
285Please respect copyright.PENANAVNhKeNUhnR
"Mother?" I pushed.285Please respect copyright.PENANAoaPc3uV2Ji
285Please respect copyright.PENANAVNOYe4DtY6
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."285Please respect copyright.PENANA4I1FfOZE4T
285Please respect copyright.PENANAmE1OuevTSe
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAhPhn6SoOZN
285Please respect copyright.PENANAaOoflaDb7Q
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANA6gUzsqYZnW
285Please respect copyright.PENANA5kGxECxUJN
"May?" I said, confused.285Please respect copyright.PENANAC0EtB9CXzn
285Please respect copyright.PENANAfgrAFv4rRa
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAU4LnoCocjT
285Please respect copyright.PENANAPwOpA7ECtV
"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.285Please respect copyright.PENANA9cCHIJP3NG
285Please respect copyright.PENANAp98nVyQ1lV
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."285Please respect copyright.PENANAJy5zXoTlpm
285Please respect copyright.PENANASweRJuhy2s
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAvA1qDgQfOR
285Please respect copyright.PENANABQeFA0wfKb
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANArsuMsUd2ey
285Please respect copyright.PENANAdllZsc0YVX
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.285Please respect copyright.PENANAk7uBin0uoY
285Please respect copyright.PENANArkMm0bk61b
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.285Please respect copyright.PENANAcmvI3HMhkj
285Please respect copyright.PENANAi4S669F3W4
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.285Please respect copyright.PENANAYEvkCjfcwM
285Please respect copyright.PENANAmlNMPTuOEN
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.285Please respect copyright.PENANAFpueA2qJaz
285Please respect copyright.PENANADIZyOp0jdL
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.285Please respect copyright.PENANAiUVOq1NQYS
285Please respect copyright.PENANAW4UrbeT1jO
"Kalon Wolfe."285Please respect copyright.PENANA5aw4nW8VNC
285Please respect copyright.PENANAoDFxm8VrWV
285Please respect copyright.PENANAQWTz9bd8yq
