"How do you like your eggs?"353Please respect copyright.PENANAVdQgoH6tPz
353Please respect copyright.PENANARTtaKJ78Xd
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."353Please respect copyright.PENANAg9qm0N0K84
353Please respect copyright.PENANAozU2BZsqQG
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAxknedoduFT
353Please respect copyright.PENANAipcnqtayGI
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."353Please respect copyright.PENANAacnAxoPvpm
353Please respect copyright.PENANARgV93NYPwK
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"353Please respect copyright.PENANAsuCLeRFgdX
353Please respect copyright.PENANA0pLSEhlmFq
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."353Please respect copyright.PENANAvFzEKJGYXm
353Please respect copyright.PENANAxi8Wedqlx4
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.353Please respect copyright.PENANAmBW4WnabVk
353Please respect copyright.PENANA1cvOnlqev9
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.353Please respect copyright.PENANAWbdfo13DPT
353Please respect copyright.PENANAB4eN8JGV4i
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."353Please respect copyright.PENANAU9oqI5fHSv
353Please respect copyright.PENANA9apXUIdEQk
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAYSWX7Mymj8
353Please respect copyright.PENANAVGxnmZrg2q
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAJTQLP3M0ho
353Please respect copyright.PENANAVEIFM5pZpu
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.353Please respect copyright.PENANASIe3NgUZn2
353Please respect copyright.PENANA14Emodn1bi
"Nothing to like."353Please respect copyright.PENANADgMwqA1nCq
353Please respect copyright.PENANA1aXtKZHefW
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."353Please respect copyright.PENANAxmeCns65ML
353Please respect copyright.PENANAWOfxvYpC4z
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.353Please respect copyright.PENANAnbZM2i1Rmb
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5vFD8H5yNY
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"353Please respect copyright.PENANAqiEg8ZjXvG
353Please respect copyright.PENANA01ZGgZedAd
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."353Please respect copyright.PENANADQP4cUziII
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGgUG801Z8i
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."353Please respect copyright.PENANAgLeacSIe8m
353Please respect copyright.PENANAOZEPQZioFs
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"353Please respect copyright.PENANAFZg57vQDXm
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYym1wGKKQF
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."353Please respect copyright.PENANADGwVO1FprG
353Please respect copyright.PENANA09Q05X5Xfi
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.353Please respect copyright.PENANAanA0cRbvwo
353Please respect copyright.PENANAp6kkKDS0eZ
"Thank you."353Please respect copyright.PENANAnrUOKNCPCT
353Please respect copyright.PENANAHXS95Mn52V
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"353Please respect copyright.PENANApm0ksYs6aT
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ1IoB1CWn
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"353Please respect copyright.PENANAwPUyL6xeiJ
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdKDn539NO1
"Yeah, you know t-"353Please respect copyright.PENANA3WHu3xOIrF
353Please respect copyright.PENANACqk9MwepCN
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."353Please respect copyright.PENANA6qkkNyFCKj
353Please respect copyright.PENANAn681xhZxUt
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"353Please respect copyright.PENANATZpoFGiAgg
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcJw0EQcaWH
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."353Please respect copyright.PENANAKdOQdjJpQz
353Please respect copyright.PENANAPUUUaNwXnG
"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.353Please respect copyright.PENANApHGc6Sir4q
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYvkBYbB2ml
"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."353Please respect copyright.PENANAp2W3Nrnouc
353Please respect copyright.PENANAoDIV1DLcFh
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"353Please respect copyright.PENANAE2gg9nUGdT
353Please respect copyright.PENANAjYcnKtuVym
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"353Please respect copyright.PENANAumXDjqSAOR
353Please respect copyright.PENANAy7Q0iQ7xFR
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.353Please respect copyright.PENANA7rBYFrS2R3
353Please respect copyright.PENANA0mS5zFHA9N
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAgbByize1fg
353Please respect copyright.PENANANriwfAiTPe
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."353Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bfa0mxxvS
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdxrVnTea7J
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"353Please respect copyright.PENANAZPkfCordXw
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5wt0Cfwm1Q
"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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAeMoUm5hPru
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlFakPxbX7Q
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.353Please respect copyright.PENANADDOnoM7KQP
353Please respect copyright.PENANAMQD6OXMQ7L
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."353Please respect copyright.PENANARx5EQeaAha
353Please respect copyright.PENANAyNTe8OeM9J
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 353Please respect copyright.PENANADMnonR8MIE
353Please respect copyright.PENANANUa3g3M9zr
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAlZsnHw0G7X
353Please respect copyright.PENANA7XEICKlG1G
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."353Please respect copyright.PENANAwdK4pONTR2
353Please respect copyright.PENANA3BkCZvNJb5
"You knew him?"353Please respect copyright.PENANAkSUDPz2jfI
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZwlU9jw7Qm
"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."353Please respect copyright.PENANABkuLAqOi1G
353Please respect copyright.PENANACePmVXBvwk
I smiled, "You too!"353Please respect copyright.PENANAY5T2YvfLja
353Please respect copyright.PENANAo1NLQjOzsV
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAobmYIZoYy0
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGEFuXkWsDz
"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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAIh6ShZp2FW
353Please respect copyright.PENANACuB9KmI1IA
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."353Please respect copyright.PENANAv1MPEI8na8
353Please respect copyright.PENANAARPELmMMaT
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."353Please respect copyright.PENANAtTsyh7wETO
353Please respect copyright.PENANAmZHs8zrWif
"Meeting here?" I asked her.353Please respect copyright.PENANAP1H7NKDrIp
353Please respect copyright.PENANAh3GbjYWJNx
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.353Please respect copyright.PENANAD4CwHAbMeL
353Please respect copyright.PENANA4hOlQ46Giw
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAzlKTYkjMRO
353Please respect copyright.PENANABSwEkDyZ4Z
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."353Please respect copyright.PENANAGzOiFC5gHG
353Please respect copyright.PENANAsjPVhrjwpF
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."353Please respect copyright.PENANAXSFVs12Bv5
353Please respect copyright.PENANA94TcFMtqBQ
"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."353Please respect copyright.PENANAV2ftg1GLeO
353Please respect copyright.PENANAA9xpvqncyn
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANApKkqBcKbWc
353Please respect copyright.PENANA7poYzEptO7
There was just too much I didn't know yet.353Please respect copyright.PENANAIaWl8O63qL
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAGqzamYfzw
"May! There you are."353Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y0hBMCxre
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAkFDnJoPrH
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANACfEK5IOv7m
353Please respect copyright.PENANAjEScLrIkoq
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAG8PpewDFua
353Please respect copyright.PENANAz66Qaysfoi
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.353Please respect copyright.PENANA09slYFZkKF
353Please respect copyright.PENANA8DavJGggwV
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."353Please respect copyright.PENANAqxfVx6xT5X
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIFyZdENfXJ
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."353Please respect copyright.PENANAtDhc0mumMt
353Please respect copyright.PENANAMClvIRkMWW
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.353Please respect copyright.PENANAW0HYjTqoxd
353Please respect copyright.PENANAiqnUTphjPL
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.353Please respect copyright.PENANASVIrIkasD2
353Please respect copyright.PENANAMrlEajQtsm
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.353Please respect copyright.PENANAA13CssYMpH
353Please respect copyright.PENANAhufW7bJLD1
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."353Please respect copyright.PENANAH8WhceptF9
353Please respect copyright.PENANAfwhayxlxIV
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."353Please respect copyright.PENANAEYypAEDAKH
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAjqjHH3iXX
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."353Please respect copyright.PENANAbeFjvZkQzW
353Please respect copyright.PENANAWN1gLnlHa7
"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."353Please respect copyright.PENANAiQwNRnXsbv
353Please respect copyright.PENANAxRlftd4JKi
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."353Please respect copyright.PENANAqaxMRdtQIT
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKthWtFHbiC
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"353Please respect copyright.PENANADwS1OUWHF9
353Please respect copyright.PENANApz5g1tuZON
"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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAWHZPtU1KdI
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZxnr2UWTxA
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."353Please respect copyright.PENANAGdgkX70NSK
353Please respect copyright.PENANAwgOyXxDaCw
"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?"353Please respect copyright.PENANAs3PEAYXHd3
353Please respect copyright.PENANALbMHtME07p
"Sure!" I said brightly.353Please respect copyright.PENANAL2H1AD3rF4
353Please respect copyright.PENANAvYSTEefBcY
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAEZkhlVl5qO
353Please respect copyright.PENANA1SzrifpOC2
_353Please respect copyright.PENANAjI79vS89BG
353Please respect copyright.PENANAfEvUIHLoPK
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"353Please respect copyright.PENANAEpQvun6PUf
353Please respect copyright.PENANATbJm4hV932
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAelTfYXuSBs
353Please respect copyright.PENANAuZbOFcZL6G
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.353Please respect copyright.PENANA9amoxFe5Ik
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQhX2QObizi
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"353Please respect copyright.PENANA50D1wUfuBg
353Please respect copyright.PENANAfKFVSmFXKX
Thank god! Pizza! 353Please respect copyright.PENANARpw6xhSPir
353Please respect copyright.PENANABmExWRNjVi
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.353Please respect copyright.PENANAko91Qd9ZIk
353Please respect copyright.PENANA2DcCjLQpez
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.353Please respect copyright.PENANAl4I6XbILIf
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGx24EcBLxY
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANA66hECYxCbo
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGeuO1U2sfL
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.353Please respect copyright.PENANABKZ8ECoqVl
353Please respect copyright.PENANALGiaue2kPQ
"You'll get used to it."353Please respect copyright.PENANAWIwFzbuaKM
353Please respect copyright.PENANAxkZTwKeBk7
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"353Please respect copyright.PENANAXral9tOVa2
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIktayO7tkY
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."353Please respect copyright.PENANA5BqPpVhObV
353Please respect copyright.PENANAyqiUwnKX7S
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 353Please respect copyright.PENANAHsOEMggHep
353Please respect copyright.PENANAMTdLEA1tej
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."353Please respect copyright.PENANAKQJcQOJAyo
353Please respect copyright.PENANAvLyWaUHP1J
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 353Please respect copyright.PENANA5YkugS1R3q
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcQDfY6Ctrc
"Mother?" I pushed.353Please respect copyright.PENANA6vMwBCBmSg
353Please respect copyright.PENANA45sxJuAMN5
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."353Please respect copyright.PENANA0td6yYKMBY
353Please respect copyright.PENANAPcByusLHzU
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAyVX7Qo70cT
353Please respect copyright.PENANA6AK03IUMrw
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAAtMBajDO00
353Please respect copyright.PENANAiHCXVIzlOc
"May?" I said, confused.353Please respect copyright.PENANApRvRgmIiGR
353Please respect copyright.PENANA2s2JoRh2tF
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAiKJTmauqnZ
353Please respect copyright.PENANAugQ48tIaWM
"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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAPsfNS7IrBy
353Please respect copyright.PENANArUmzp9r17d
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."353Please respect copyright.PENANAqwBn40ih4i
353Please respect copyright.PENANAsrwZYe7zJW
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAfLmXAldJCs
353Please respect copyright.PENANAY2ewo3IDez
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANAaFXYoBo4Rc
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEG2iL7YqcD
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.353Please respect copyright.PENANA40QdRvyVH4
353Please respect copyright.PENANAilvvry8HQS
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.353Please respect copyright.PENANAbP8HLtGNP5
353Please respect copyright.PENANA7QSf9ElFlH
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.353Please respect copyright.PENANAWdwKRqw00v
353Please respect copyright.PENANAMK4zHtvjhg
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.353Please respect copyright.PENANAFmzluk1xav
353Please respect copyright.PENANALunR4SuMUC
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.353Please respect copyright.PENANAKckW7rUzmp
353Please respect copyright.PENANARJiu7hFbEs
"Kalon Wolfe."353Please respect copyright.PENANAEOKV2q3Rgf
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEiYvzkGXnG
353Please respect copyright.PENANAjM6vhLByVz
