"How do you like your eggs?"327Please respect copyright.PENANAfd6mChtzSC
327Please respect copyright.PENANA1C9KEBIJGo
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."327Please respect copyright.PENANAYNN372c35v
327Please respect copyright.PENANAI3u8HIo034
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAA226nCwpPB
327Please respect copyright.PENANAHNBwHV06Zy
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."327Please respect copyright.PENANAwFkHhJkT6b
327Please respect copyright.PENANArYTWr7JvCw
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"327Please respect copyright.PENANA9f1UbnC6tJ
327Please respect copyright.PENANAyaJPId0z3a
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."327Please respect copyright.PENANAoEJU2fSklm
327Please respect copyright.PENANA6GdxCiMGMD
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.327Please respect copyright.PENANAw87KgKN2Pp
327Please respect copyright.PENANAdsSf7CKFVn
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.327Please respect copyright.PENANAst16KDZsmo
327Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4FBduowTH
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."327Please respect copyright.PENANAWocJFlnAgA
327Please respect copyright.PENANA9ECY7oWxCd
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAMMHm5JuJtX
327Please respect copyright.PENANADrLskRDSZN
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANA5s7mwRufVP
327Please respect copyright.PENANAKerXm9Li3d
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.327Please respect copyright.PENANAwf7seSFPNe
327Please respect copyright.PENANAAdX0PGJyzy
"Nothing to like."327Please respect copyright.PENANAhgAZtKHZNe
327Please respect copyright.PENANAXwBTHb5mFd
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."327Please respect copyright.PENANAITlr2VHTRJ
327Please respect copyright.PENANAqJTZvAtOxE
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.327Please respect copyright.PENANAEpb7MpsqEU
327Please respect copyright.PENANAYvLKfmfB3x
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"327Please respect copyright.PENANAKIU1DmSRsy
327Please respect copyright.PENANA3bBORhq6Bb
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."327Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7g8eO544u
327Please respect copyright.PENANAqYcf9xGgwI
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."327Please respect copyright.PENANAD3AhZ7NiwG
327Please respect copyright.PENANAAPVEHJzX7Z
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"327Please respect copyright.PENANAh5A4mbRHtF
327Please respect copyright.PENANAPscKEcPrWw
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."327Please respect copyright.PENANACQg52enGIb
327Please respect copyright.PENANACW1J64gNMG
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.327Please respect copyright.PENANA5EcfRcUBoh
327Please respect copyright.PENANArnHjfWv0kK
"Thank you."327Please respect copyright.PENANAhjUzQF0oqx
327Please respect copyright.PENANA9vYhp1BFb3
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"327Please respect copyright.PENANAmUqnxhUi5J
327Please respect copyright.PENANAaFrsgJAAgT
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"327Please respect copyright.PENANAz3YcsxC99s
327Please respect copyright.PENANAmpHyoUjBvE
"Yeah, you know t-"327Please respect copyright.PENANAgXbrykdg3b
327Please respect copyright.PENANAG1I2Xr7ZHk
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."327Please respect copyright.PENANAiH37LFTL9P
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6IxaVHk3W
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"327Please respect copyright.PENANA6nDqAHGPdH
327Please respect copyright.PENANACAcYMkhXNM
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."327Please respect copyright.PENANAAS2v8ZUlJO
327Please respect copyright.PENANAYupoPt3aYz
"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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAMOvImk5Lfj
327Please respect copyright.PENANAodaZgyZBoC
"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."327Please respect copyright.PENANAwxNK1L7fIc
327Please respect copyright.PENANAyq7bq89hWP
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"327Please respect copyright.PENANAFlBSg7rOZl
327Please respect copyright.PENANACqyoHIuz20
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"327Please respect copyright.PENANARyKNH5eWTd
327Please respect copyright.PENANAd1xCe4a5F4
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.327Please respect copyright.PENANA1gbVTxnoxr
327Please respect copyright.PENANAAjR1tH16tJ
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAFq2THkiqNS
327Please respect copyright.PENANAkQxq6OTjQy
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."327Please respect copyright.PENANALwxo8k12PV
327Please respect copyright.PENANAwcXJNDtS6F
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"327Please respect copyright.PENANAiCY7sLzHyz
327Please respect copyright.PENANALiEgMyKeA6
"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.327Please respect copyright.PENANA2G5xAff2XV
327Please respect copyright.PENANATUVMbllC33
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.327Please respect copyright.PENANAlOummp0J0k
327Please respect copyright.PENANAmz0FSpOkT1
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."327Please respect copyright.PENANARsK6CfEzTb
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQGO8oEPto9
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 327Please respect copyright.PENANAGbu9vM2RK9
327Please respect copyright.PENANAvelYNrNZDn
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAvBRwtMJCiH
327Please respect copyright.PENANAP0QIKLU3bz
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."327Please respect copyright.PENANASwa1BcJHpq
327Please respect copyright.PENANAep53aVe3Ky
"You knew him?"327Please respect copyright.PENANADcgG6xlPKn
327Please respect copyright.PENANABgwAGMiJz0
"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."327Please respect copyright.PENANA02VHpFJ7JS
327Please respect copyright.PENANAFF8YR8XD3r
I smiled, "You too!"327Please respect copyright.PENANAoKo67vZoif
327Please respect copyright.PENANAVXatMD4t2V
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANA0ppMhdnNxu
327Please respect copyright.PENANAuFXcln7V17
"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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAW6MdqYy0Ic
327Please respect copyright.PENANAGCpr4yfKAv
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."327Please respect copyright.PENANAqTDpBj4Eln
327Please respect copyright.PENANA5CqcwOw7od
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."327Please respect copyright.PENANAIJwNWNaiUc
327Please respect copyright.PENANAfaf2a24mLC
"Meeting here?" I asked her.327Please respect copyright.PENANAzmqQIQbRnF
327Please respect copyright.PENANAuu8AjbKLkY
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.327Please respect copyright.PENANAb2a67CNn35
327Please respect copyright.PENANAPhzf96UFUA
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAkagjNXLzhP
327Please respect copyright.PENANAOYt6FyJt6W
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."327Please respect copyright.PENANAtrE3Vf4XVz
327Please respect copyright.PENANAScxqi6oE0u
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."327Please respect copyright.PENANAuuu5aXuLAb
327Please respect copyright.PENANAVm0Wp0gJfn
"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."327Please respect copyright.PENANAA96kDrl8AL
327Please respect copyright.PENANAXL495qseBL
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANACB1FNyflxS
327Please respect copyright.PENANA9J9Ctlv65v
There was just too much I didn't know yet.327Please respect copyright.PENANAbN700fjGuc
327Please respect copyright.PENANArvDYQtexxv
"May! There you are."327Please respect copyright.PENANA0T5LLUYrqq
327Please respect copyright.PENANAXnHFI0PCLm
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAtODYTX6tGE
327Please respect copyright.PENANAc5xBAKC7bn
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANA7PR6USb8CA
327Please respect copyright.PENANAuAA4SOtUp8
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.327Please respect copyright.PENANAQHllgavke6
327Please respect copyright.PENANAbKWFloWNES
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."327Please respect copyright.PENANAIMVunE8tFu
327Please respect copyright.PENANAuBZK6i5Q2I
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."327Please respect copyright.PENANAUlfnfWE8q9
327Please respect copyright.PENANApTNBFEDUFI
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.327Please respect copyright.PENANAo15jbpR4dk
327Please respect copyright.PENANA6tRb3K10GA
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.327Please respect copyright.PENANAtYu1BTJSXe
327Please respect copyright.PENANAIourBJg6Do
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.327Please respect copyright.PENANAnTmNlU4X4R
327Please respect copyright.PENANAylRBM2PtMU
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."327Please respect copyright.PENANATfxOQscAN6
327Please respect copyright.PENANA1orqQL8UOv
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."327Please respect copyright.PENANA7e1uGV8EAi
327Please respect copyright.PENANAsqYqM2vMl9
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."327Please respect copyright.PENANA9bAdbj8loZ
327Please respect copyright.PENANAzs38AIcK1P
"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."327Please respect copyright.PENANAi5kaN4kyPW
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7wdQQ7rjz
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."327Please respect copyright.PENANAoYdlNiALpL
327Please respect copyright.PENANA3fxl7HsclK
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"327Please respect copyright.PENANALy1YI9ayOn
327Please respect copyright.PENANAnb18BeoGco
"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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAUkdF6l7MO8
327Please respect copyright.PENANAG6tbk3iP3O
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."327Please respect copyright.PENANAdU1YtJnwYG
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtJJ7Dt1PNt
"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?"327Please respect copyright.PENANA9zqHBT3WxS
327Please respect copyright.PENANAHcAiv5Mjcr
"Sure!" I said brightly.327Please respect copyright.PENANAOMi5QlZr2A
327Please respect copyright.PENANA2HRzqHvrmL
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAYKR9Fojssj
327Please respect copyright.PENANAX46H3gg04e
_327Please respect copyright.PENANAh1xFR39eIN
327Please respect copyright.PENANAcmUuaCLy62
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"327Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z7Ah3wjb3
327Please respect copyright.PENANAqcNuUyNVU3
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAwuqrDb7wqc
327Please respect copyright.PENANA2J8uCWCo06
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.327Please respect copyright.PENANAGAwK9kVFBS
327Please respect copyright.PENANAFce7mK5Crq
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"327Please respect copyright.PENANAyvKbUIyQ1a
327Please respect copyright.PENANA2FIjlIp7IL
Thank god! Pizza! 327Please respect copyright.PENANAT0mMG64kWu
327Please respect copyright.PENANAjDItL4LYNC
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.327Please respect copyright.PENANAqgYvYZBsfv
327Please respect copyright.PENANAejXfsRExIn
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.327Please respect copyright.PENANA56rcVWfRBa
327Please respect copyright.PENANAHEd8bd9ctH
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAFOEa6IkEUF
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQYBOjF4SZ1
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.327Please respect copyright.PENANANtlXl5Crrs
327Please respect copyright.PENANAN3UH9qR2N4
"You'll get used to it."327Please respect copyright.PENANAZpAaPvhrpn
327Please respect copyright.PENANAmEiYlUauSR
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"327Please respect copyright.PENANATRCacXyBN7
327Please respect copyright.PENANAuyXTE3T8sp
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."327Please respect copyright.PENANAMul5da4f1R
327Please respect copyright.PENANAr3ViP4tDAz
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 327Please respect copyright.PENANApaH307GttB
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtBN8Crir0U
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."327Please respect copyright.PENANAZg8a3K8Mz2
327Please respect copyright.PENANAKamcYXd1n8
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 327Please respect copyright.PENANA6VG2CdYRrt
327Please respect copyright.PENANAsaehw4AM20
"Mother?" I pushed.327Please respect copyright.PENANAVUlvjErp7r
327Please respect copyright.PENANAU7rkFYv2gF
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."327Please respect copyright.PENANA7wzSDEHj7U
327Please respect copyright.PENANA5zp9K1Uw9v
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAVfNNX0qmEK
327Please respect copyright.PENANAe2zgSBkQZd
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAbeQPQSYFHz
327Please respect copyright.PENANAWdzYKw8Dph
"May?" I said, confused.327Please respect copyright.PENANASU3QxQmjTj
327Please respect copyright.PENANAx1bZgxvkFX
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAsnvq3A2vPa
327Please respect copyright.PENANAMKHT7Z4unG
"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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAhJhbrT1urX
327Please respect copyright.PENANAHdvgDQvU3V
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."327Please respect copyright.PENANArtCf8ejVn6
327Please respect copyright.PENANAAhrrFgLBwz
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAlC0femCmwG
327Please respect copyright.PENANAR42u0VDpCy
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAxm71ndcw6E
327Please respect copyright.PENANAvz9kcyuGII
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAaG5VFMWXTm
327Please respect copyright.PENANAwqGYVDtXia
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.327Please respect copyright.PENANAPfnXPb9iN5
327Please respect copyright.PENANA5XPna7wfe5
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.327Please respect copyright.PENANA5dtspykRrf
327Please respect copyright.PENANAfC2XTC4Wev
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.327Please respect copyright.PENANAceEaZ8D0hw
327Please respect copyright.PENANADbY7aJLwgu
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.327Please respect copyright.PENANAYiaJ2QgWyF
327Please respect copyright.PENANAJfRu4keDme
"Kalon Wolfe."327Please respect copyright.PENANAyp98pGKFUf
327Please respect copyright.PENANAdPETPmDxE3
327Please respect copyright.PENANAbI8FE2I68A
