"How do you like your eggs?"303Please respect copyright.PENANALMnXtps9IH
303Please respect copyright.PENANAL4XKZBcSXR
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."303Please respect copyright.PENANAF0vEco7Ek5
303Please respect copyright.PENANAKedZcCFcu0
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAR2Xi9LOaKt
303Please respect copyright.PENANAQfUfvJ2arW
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."303Please respect copyright.PENANADDTyXLu5uH
303Please respect copyright.PENANAmIjFaMYwE7
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"303Please respect copyright.PENANAhvf0fSQwjW
303Please respect copyright.PENANAfZYzlkYaNR
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."303Please respect copyright.PENANA515j5C8jSj
303Please respect copyright.PENANAXAoGABBrYe
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.303Please respect copyright.PENANAsMl6a4A0EG
303Please respect copyright.PENANAi7BNXC2QBE
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.303Please respect copyright.PENANAJZTHye7Wll
303Please respect copyright.PENANAvPCVB4Lxu5
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."303Please respect copyright.PENANARSeNh7kXyr
303Please respect copyright.PENANAV0Ju3jWB2S
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAR15bOwohbF
303Please respect copyright.PENANAwWa0SVtDjM
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAPwiD3ASr5B
303Please respect copyright.PENANA9yrlwBwkiG
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.303Please respect copyright.PENANAZpfPiD9jOu
303Please respect copyright.PENANATYTx0MAAjS
"Nothing to like."303Please respect copyright.PENANADbx6uKkHzl
303Please respect copyright.PENANATDa0qzY1a8
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."303Please respect copyright.PENANAJK7pNagHcB
303Please respect copyright.PENANAfDRQJuqwUj
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.303Please respect copyright.PENANArulL7tdCoj
303Please respect copyright.PENANACVgJBa0xpr
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"303Please respect copyright.PENANAdzpyEVTq2O
303Please respect copyright.PENANAtwjbN7AHTo
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."303Please respect copyright.PENANACMlYnI71fL
303Please respect copyright.PENANA16RprY6Lwl
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."303Please respect copyright.PENANAy7KChuBmKy
303Please respect copyright.PENANAskGWOrJSYI
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"303Please respect copyright.PENANAo092YeE20h
303Please respect copyright.PENANAh2XIIYuxy0
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."303Please respect copyright.PENANA2QICco3kLp
303Please respect copyright.PENANAOSpdZm7LJV
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.303Please respect copyright.PENANAn6UPvVN0y5
303Please respect copyright.PENANAoux6wDG8KV
"Thank you."303Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ0xokH2fv
303Please respect copyright.PENANATVrLRx3zzi
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"303Please respect copyright.PENANAstKLK1PHEI
303Please respect copyright.PENANABhbqejIplO
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"303Please respect copyright.PENANAkAogcUeaqu
303Please respect copyright.PENANAevHXz6qW3J
"Yeah, you know t-"303Please respect copyright.PENANA9HpogDwvmC
303Please respect copyright.PENANABKQKVe9g41
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."303Please respect copyright.PENANAgvdULBwgMV
303Please respect copyright.PENANA8cmw7ve01R
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"303Please respect copyright.PENANATI75cNFlPL
303Please respect copyright.PENANAb9bu71uSz9
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."303Please respect copyright.PENANAgOlc714p5T
303Please respect copyright.PENANA3OMhfDZ02L
"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.303Please respect copyright.PENANADXdVrZpLnG
303Please respect copyright.PENANAEaxVoUE6iK
"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."303Please respect copyright.PENANAsdok62j9Os
303Please respect copyright.PENANAGLrCGnoOmh
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"303Please respect copyright.PENANAwb6uec5QEg
303Please respect copyright.PENANAUo9ZopYvPV
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"303Please respect copyright.PENANAo0JYxHG2dm
303Please respect copyright.PENANAEVRjZxqNyN
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.303Please respect copyright.PENANAWh00jB0OT8
303Please respect copyright.PENANAOybS8Fv3Lw
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANA9LyNv8Kw0e
303Please respect copyright.PENANA5NZLOUT7Dq
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."303Please respect copyright.PENANARjQtMNhRqU
303Please respect copyright.PENANA1QYBcndpBh
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"303Please respect copyright.PENANAofSYcG73FT
303Please respect copyright.PENANAs74qKekqeC
"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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAx7LaWT2UrR
303Please respect copyright.PENANAf7bO8YbQ2I
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.303Please respect copyright.PENANA0qAWb7mM1G
303Please respect copyright.PENANAtWEWXHz4fI
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."303Please respect copyright.PENANAMLicRNfwLZ
303Please respect copyright.PENANAyaQzOimWnX
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 303Please respect copyright.PENANAmiKPLvepnl
303Please respect copyright.PENANAv5jcawIsF9
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAhNfrYs7jQ8
303Please respect copyright.PENANAZZqqlKe1fx
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."303Please respect copyright.PENANAhRYwpOI5Xi
303Please respect copyright.PENANAK90WqcUEQF
"You knew him?"303Please respect copyright.PENANA6L8qkhGYhb
303Please respect copyright.PENANA0ffRxq5art
"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."303Please respect copyright.PENANAAoNVSWxLvO
303Please respect copyright.PENANAlQfnb9CcO6
I smiled, "You too!"303Please respect copyright.PENANAcijXEIO6Pl
303Please respect copyright.PENANACGmZ3ZBpsk
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAmXL1hh8M7E
303Please respect copyright.PENANArDsrsWTTBJ
"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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAiNARcNX4BG
303Please respect copyright.PENANASIO1dEtAw0
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."303Please respect copyright.PENANAKmMs39CjfX
303Please respect copyright.PENANASLr9PGpYIP
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."303Please respect copyright.PENANAnuayOjPZHE
303Please respect copyright.PENANAhnskJg4mHX
"Meeting here?" I asked her.303Please respect copyright.PENANABnzyQDM3IA
303Please respect copyright.PENANAOLgng87I2L
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.303Please respect copyright.PENANAxcApjE6TPh
303Please respect copyright.PENANAOzruwdraNH
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAAA39Phq3w4
303Please respect copyright.PENANAqAc6obPy45
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."303Please respect copyright.PENANAp2TABxqgIQ
303Please respect copyright.PENANA6elFWui1Zh
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."303Please respect copyright.PENANAeqx6BgTC5u
303Please respect copyright.PENANAqm41qAtemr
"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."303Please respect copyright.PENANAiRhI4BPuiz
303Please respect copyright.PENANA3uuBgFZOQK
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANASoLcTZ4cUW
303Please respect copyright.PENANA3F6gugkpz3
There was just too much I didn't know yet.303Please respect copyright.PENANAirAxxswBDo
303Please respect copyright.PENANAFfJy6k22rI
"May! There you are."303Please respect copyright.PENANAER4gxi4ojh
303Please respect copyright.PENANALeQ35zfO19
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAcMWrgFyHew
303Please respect copyright.PENANAD85tH4t8aZ
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAiL2KG3IwDa
303Please respect copyright.PENANAwHI77nxuby
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.303Please respect copyright.PENANA0GcGpcdlL4
303Please respect copyright.PENANAchEsyqpHUN
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."303Please respect copyright.PENANAgEis2SlccS
303Please respect copyright.PENANAuNaot98JjC
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."303Please respect copyright.PENANAJxvIdnQnsq
303Please respect copyright.PENANADZkRZkfoQL
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.303Please respect copyright.PENANA5YSdekcrWZ
303Please respect copyright.PENANASe3TjzrCW4
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.303Please respect copyright.PENANAf6m6sC30aW
303Please respect copyright.PENANAb9ftAaza6o
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.303Please respect copyright.PENANAv3lnn5f38O
303Please respect copyright.PENANAPagX3MCza2
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."303Please respect copyright.PENANAm4Gu0pLdK7
303Please respect copyright.PENANAFJHLZbKaz5
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."303Please respect copyright.PENANAoFFqnDdkT8
303Please respect copyright.PENANA3OQT2oVy41
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."303Please respect copyright.PENANAv1jk36PxVE
303Please respect copyright.PENANAha5hbIg720
"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."303Please respect copyright.PENANAnpYF0rXU3y
303Please respect copyright.PENANAm1uKfPshek
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."303Please respect copyright.PENANANeK6cFCatl
303Please respect copyright.PENANApKNtZBDEix
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"303Please respect copyright.PENANAaMUGuoyczj
303Please respect copyright.PENANAculd5eUoAM
"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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAfel2I8BuTj
303Please respect copyright.PENANAvYFU10GhKd
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."303Please respect copyright.PENANALlWLQ4v1RE
303Please respect copyright.PENANApNKroHtgJ6
"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?"303Please respect copyright.PENANAAboea8nSGI
303Please respect copyright.PENANAMS97YfiQTF
"Sure!" I said brightly.303Please respect copyright.PENANAjSOYDTTZMa
303Please respect copyright.PENANArGyKtqnNmM
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANATgg6t0DXOd
303Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZPFSR134k
_303Please respect copyright.PENANANBhdJrvGaC
303Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lu6CWZMVk
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"303Please respect copyright.PENANApMyIlOAunP
303Please respect copyright.PENANAwlgx75JwM1
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANA2wGhKcZiqc
303Please respect copyright.PENANA6a6MHTh68T
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.303Please respect copyright.PENANA1MSeR6EKkA
303Please respect copyright.PENANAL8pcLF5CEj
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"303Please respect copyright.PENANAjkcoif9gyR
303Please respect copyright.PENANAIx96iLtBXm
Thank god! Pizza! 303Please respect copyright.PENANAPX9Kijgxdm
303Please respect copyright.PENANA98FiEEYRsj
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.303Please respect copyright.PENANAKSWhSTYDmU
303Please respect copyright.PENANAA7kjK7qW83
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.303Please respect copyright.PENANAgQKk5WcGeC
303Please respect copyright.PENANAyjxx8HTNes
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAM7YGPeQe4L
303Please respect copyright.PENANAEUHLQ34K89
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.303Please respect copyright.PENANA4cdA4N0bvt
303Please respect copyright.PENANACLIDUpZFxY
"You'll get used to it."303Please respect copyright.PENANApaCH8oqCJ6
303Please respect copyright.PENANA1IvungEQPG
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"303Please respect copyright.PENANArUqE14QS9k
303Please respect copyright.PENANAWZYA3BHq4C
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."303Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hs9LWDHRB
303Please respect copyright.PENANAPVv7XyrJag
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 303Please respect copyright.PENANAo1nfObibhg
303Please respect copyright.PENANAiC18MLqdaP
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."303Please respect copyright.PENANAxmrZEn74BB
303Please respect copyright.PENANAaM0mFJt1wg
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 303Please respect copyright.PENANA58wcgfIFkh
303Please respect copyright.PENANAHhRzIL8JaG
"Mother?" I pushed.303Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Lx67T9Z9
303Please respect copyright.PENANAdAuUS2q1uc
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."303Please respect copyright.PENANA1V1ZJHXfrg
303Please respect copyright.PENANAT4Ty74eNNr
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANA2UeDzARIKb
303Please respect copyright.PENANADZPjKPJ60G
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAH5JkhrHGoP
303Please respect copyright.PENANAhJwZETGAw3
"May?" I said, confused.303Please respect copyright.PENANApNS4dCBJRh
303Please respect copyright.PENANAuyyvvZNYht
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAS1Nz415qsk
303Please respect copyright.PENANAhJlLYLtOQH
"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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAxDdgZY43kL
303Please respect copyright.PENANAsWXp9PrNKx
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."303Please respect copyright.PENANAveAmcl19bN
303Please respect copyright.PENANAFRrHkT77Pm
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAJUi8nv0XYk
303Please respect copyright.PENANA90gvO8pcS2
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAMql2XTb9E4
303Please respect copyright.PENANAoBGIHeEMxh
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.303Please respect copyright.PENANAneU65DKzVz
303Please respect copyright.PENANAVDm5FjjFnw
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.303Please respect copyright.PENANAZCe3F9yIHI
303Please respect copyright.PENANAgmY28IOlwx
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.303Please respect copyright.PENANAqGzKK9AlgF
303Please respect copyright.PENANA6lxLoI7lol
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.303Please respect copyright.PENANAw66wXRRUCy
303Please respect copyright.PENANAA6iUWDyr9u
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.303Please respect copyright.PENANATYM4v9LYLM
303Please respect copyright.PENANAgGM8hBQLEa
"Kalon Wolfe."303Please respect copyright.PENANAbLsHNAE19n
303Please respect copyright.PENANAxKZ7svEajT
303Please respect copyright.PENANAFJKpRXuZtG
