"How do you like your eggs?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAqNpiI3W4Bm
307Please respect copyright.PENANASfj9WEsSGn
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."307Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ht6tPIspW
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWQQyoWWOGx
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAjntIhGO07K
307Please respect copyright.PENANAyPFDdd9LzU
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."307Please respect copyright.PENANAuHjp3uptwZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkfunrHx1Zh
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA4CG6RPF8h2
307Please respect copyright.PENANAe2kgX1uXdc
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."307Please respect copyright.PENANADLsPPbe57M
307Please respect copyright.PENANAK5vIE4tnYr
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.307Please respect copyright.PENANADds5Ko55k2
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMc1ybcNjit
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.307Please respect copyright.PENANA14l7ZSaDzO
307Please respect copyright.PENANAgdwVxD7c57
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."307Please respect copyright.PENANAFINZIBrhUL
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOpOJFjxqkv
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAapdCPLqmUP
307Please respect copyright.PENANAz1bMTBRfsl
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAy6TYf7F5SC
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8d3AFtqolW
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.307Please respect copyright.PENANAlHeMDmlzny
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKYDZUsS8K9
"Nothing to like."307Please respect copyright.PENANAkKNaTIp7mj
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3PWFd4d7HK
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."307Please respect copyright.PENANANTcehEQL3o
307Please respect copyright.PENANAy2KtSkQQd3
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.307Please respect copyright.PENANAvIzaFezRTV
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0ljCE6QUCP
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAE8udmVwKEj
307Please respect copyright.PENANAYPpVvL0bsk
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."307Please respect copyright.PENANAbHY1DuoLGU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAU17uXavaCK
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."307Please respect copyright.PENANA29frmCUaIP
307Please respect copyright.PENANAu1aiX2pQtD
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAgwlNAYY1UM
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIOugAZcRja
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."307Please respect copyright.PENANAwIupwvR1DZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAso15bETBPt
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.307Please respect copyright.PENANAdc4GMawwej
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6ps3R9tktK
"Thank you."307Please respect copyright.PENANAANo0oLkyLO
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6oTwu9wKyq
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAlbgD217119
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvxDHfB9FrK
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAej6FPSTyQR
307Please respect copyright.PENANAE68kR77cCf
"Yeah, you know t-"307Please respect copyright.PENANAQd5JAsd00I
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4YMomycRzm
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."307Please respect copyright.PENANAD78PMlPsPU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKX1q0zY4ep
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAqKaawjlgfl
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJOS4Uz1yWB
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."307Please respect copyright.PENANASbjXkWGvck
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPwXRpE7Stn
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAOQSAc9qPPr
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3cj7RGs2da
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAKMZRtGKsQo
307Please respect copyright.PENANAauDOPUQiXf
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"307Please respect copyright.PENANAM7mcVbsnXM
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuF2e6vZuSa
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAv7A2rhb4DE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbLtoFuhEGO
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.307Please respect copyright.PENANAaOQmJX6P5C
307Please respect copyright.PENANA2L7KKx0uuR
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAYHvT8MHHUm
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXtEb1lqCOW
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."307Please respect copyright.PENANAqY9IQRL6FO
307Please respect copyright.PENANAr1or3IjjLN
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"307Please respect copyright.PENANACyRoDVYoiG
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFY4JbOfUfB
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANANznjV2WE7O
307Please respect copyright.PENANAUoQSzQIkyS
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.307Please respect copyright.PENANAkWlT85ziIq
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZj3sgBJ10O
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."307Please respect copyright.PENANAz1VRebxEs6
307Please respect copyright.PENANAlWpq2IiEA8
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 307Please respect copyright.PENANAS3ipk4kuZv
307Please respect copyright.PENANAX5qlaaxUdv
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAxB2VZjsQBG
307Please respect copyright.PENANAoqJbMK3a3M
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."307Please respect copyright.PENANAmsiJPK7Zd6
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbhO2xj8Jks
"You knew him?"307Please respect copyright.PENANA5uMEHgSl5h
307Please respect copyright.PENANAwGSgukLQuK
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANARfV4T9mV2X
307Please respect copyright.PENANAv2CNx6kjvP
I smiled, "You too!"307Please respect copyright.PENANAndfr8nwMg4
307Please respect copyright.PENANACIQ9AvYkiF
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnj08goBrQr
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0c0SmzI3i1
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAYPRUVous0C
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8FklEo5Wdr
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."307Please respect copyright.PENANArsDGdPqRvR
307Please respect copyright.PENANAadIPkb3ub7
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."307Please respect copyright.PENANAd2Fa60y94w
307Please respect copyright.PENANAtQzibEQ1Mp
"Meeting here?" I asked her.307Please respect copyright.PENANAIdBdPBAlnt
307Please respect copyright.PENANALVJmH5SyDa
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.307Please respect copyright.PENANAoA2zAu3l7L
307Please respect copyright.PENANAzC6anUEQne
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAxjOm9q3VNb
307Please respect copyright.PENANAyCknFri4qv
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."307Please respect copyright.PENANAHLtJ0FA2bh
307Please respect copyright.PENANAgYWLlYbxQz
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."307Please respect copyright.PENANAVJvsVHdiiY
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvLkfs5M2FP
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANAj3MVxkTBTG
307Please respect copyright.PENANAurAsmeYmQo
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANANUy9HJX9N0
307Please respect copyright.PENANA66otEyN0dm
There was just too much I didn't know yet.307Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ81680kOp
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOZwq4rlMu7
"May! There you are."307Please respect copyright.PENANAQ68HklMvcX
307Please respect copyright.PENANA1zQp8YCANq
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAvGFJTRvOkv
307Please respect copyright.PENANApZU9LaNLN3
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAWXSBBgn690
307Please respect copyright.PENANAp5ltb8utyn
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.307Please respect copyright.PENANAVr8rULB4vV
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZGcmEueCh4
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."307Please respect copyright.PENANAodPTjsOi77
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8zpN53nGQ9
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."307Please respect copyright.PENANArnTsUldFQO
307Please respect copyright.PENANAojCqN1uIwu
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.307Please respect copyright.PENANAiXXIVwaGU9
307Please respect copyright.PENANArKbnD1PLpq
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.307Please respect copyright.PENANA24Agr67GF4
307Please respect copyright.PENANA5h2Rr7nY8u
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.307Please respect copyright.PENANAFJuCh8VszU
307Please respect copyright.PENANAlxPcRWjIsC
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."307Please respect copyright.PENANAru4iIDynU9
307Please respect copyright.PENANARNgssT06ls
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."307Please respect copyright.PENANALgp1yVxg2s
307Please respect copyright.PENANAitu5tbDCOv
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."307Please respect copyright.PENANAEigNaA8iWA
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQn0VAFKRlq
"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."307Please respect copyright.PENANADmMDB64Wqe
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmX95NZoIPC
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."307Please respect copyright.PENANAZO881Utbha
307Please respect copyright.PENANAC3hbZZuogZ
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"307Please respect copyright.PENANAVFKL99cP2q
307Please respect copyright.PENANAiN0D4FQ5Mz
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAwZINAvfxyb
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6C8Q3kHT19
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."307Please respect copyright.PENANAS8LbqaXGFv
307Please respect copyright.PENANAwdy1y9eHIz
"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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAR7J7DOwDwk
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqQEMKpzxJJ
"Sure!" I said brightly.307Please respect copyright.PENANA7KiK7Mx3pm
307Please respect copyright.PENANAm1xpsbBIP2
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAS5NBFaNU0z
307Please respect copyright.PENANATKkEjyk1Ex
_307Please respect copyright.PENANAh0ZXrOQQcy
307Please respect copyright.PENANAuc8J1HF9DC
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"307Please respect copyright.PENANATUrmGb02TE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQmkumstXm7
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAq0SaDPYkJ9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAc016QE3jc6
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.307Please respect copyright.PENANAEsK3RXnbmp
307Please respect copyright.PENANAPTdqJShlAl
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAOqd1rS1z2c
307Please respect copyright.PENANAMJr5CW5Pxb
Thank god! Pizza! 307Please respect copyright.PENANAfmBwcPHpLi
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeReh7Pn9uC
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.307Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lkv4jT2pR
307Please respect copyright.PENANANEDg0itOlG
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.307Please respect copyright.PENANA5fxgbzfbl9
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmZtxDOWPAL
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAfcBvXExQOU
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6OSkLknbRs
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.307Please respect copyright.PENANAOHpeW5Uq2P
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFLDockkAkQ
"You'll get used to it."307Please respect copyright.PENANAmzJfqrGSjU
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6X4hImG01P
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAc7A8PU96eB
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6zAeUs994b
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."307Please respect copyright.PENANAeYWh5XwquB
307Please respect copyright.PENANAJTNkIdb0T3
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 307Please respect copyright.PENANAnSxyBFGxZn
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXFwOYe47tH
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."307Please respect copyright.PENANAGapqlBPvDt
307Please respect copyright.PENANA2WqKyVApkz
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 307Please respect copyright.PENANASycJfgalq3
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3mtgMHGAKC
"Mother?" I pushed.307Please respect copyright.PENANAUDInrHLC98
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIwR7LBYGD2
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."307Please respect copyright.PENANAs2wyl6CrkP
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfzY7pSV0ZU
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANATwmiAsPNks
307Please respect copyright.PENANArYSTTdOr7b
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAVfMblKBbM3
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxhNWU2D8Kn
"May?" I said, confused.307Please respect copyright.PENANAOtcV2foLRC
307Please respect copyright.PENANAAbpdHbQbD8
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA4epRFkh28l
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8tJBlbvTYw
"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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA4IaDZ8lxwZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAEv0jFDTuRJ
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."307Please respect copyright.PENANAsvO6iQKbr7
307Please respect copyright.PENANA49ajTxdvav
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANATSism3AtbL
307Please respect copyright.PENANA8bjM4nhJEI
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANASV1p5lB4qP
307Please respect copyright.PENANA35puEg4Cb7
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAp7n9asaU3Y
307Please respect copyright.PENANAlrrkuiiysY
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.307Please respect copyright.PENANAK2iTTvZXKr
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqD5oK5HUVC
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.307Please respect copyright.PENANAkrNmWLjuru
307Please respect copyright.PENANAwqaz0DCQ0W
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.307Please respect copyright.PENANAwm6qmXtGNR
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcYPee6gdqU
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.307Please respect copyright.PENANALw28gN0K9m
307Please respect copyright.PENANAX6pj4KlQgy
"Kalon Wolfe."307Please respect copyright.PENANAcjmVsjyGj2
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdlZ7zzoQo3
307Please respect copyright.PENANAO1qWnJ1NTt
