"How do you like your eggs?"322Please respect copyright.PENANAyEA49sDlPZ
322Please respect copyright.PENANAe0jk1bHj6L
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."322Please respect copyright.PENANAVFhdgkxtM8
322Please respect copyright.PENANAU2UP6lG8py
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAAEQ362Vz0g
322Please respect copyright.PENANAqJziFl12Q6
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."322Please respect copyright.PENANA7hcIZJxpnG
322Please respect copyright.PENANA5FUb5idkgX
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"322Please respect copyright.PENANAh7V4ZRloUR
322Please respect copyright.PENANAlv92v9w5KZ
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."322Please respect copyright.PENANAdDHFVgpZSN
322Please respect copyright.PENANAhbewoR2n1p
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.322Please respect copyright.PENANA2W2pWZRGyZ
322Please respect copyright.PENANAF80vi0gwC5
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.322Please respect copyright.PENANAjMbGnPAdlv
322Please respect copyright.PENANAoKuuvVoe8g
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."322Please respect copyright.PENANAN3AKEwILd0
322Please respect copyright.PENANAvsXjHZLrre
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANARfQMOlurNO
322Please respect copyright.PENANAxNlZcOcB9b
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2RU5VNe9x
322Please respect copyright.PENANAkb71N6Hkrq
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.322Please respect copyright.PENANA6uBfbFxmsz
322Please respect copyright.PENANAzMoU7BRtiX
"Nothing to like."322Please respect copyright.PENANAGHiNGPxqX3
322Please respect copyright.PENANALMlJVhubZz
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."322Please respect copyright.PENANAO6XFz5uEpH
322Please respect copyright.PENANAyOaQwZEWW0
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.322Please respect copyright.PENANArEZr5Cb5uy
322Please respect copyright.PENANAk0mi00Bm7j
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"322Please respect copyright.PENANAkZuf9XRjUD
322Please respect copyright.PENANAPmJctRBYge
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."322Please respect copyright.PENANAR1rSngbQlE
322Please respect copyright.PENANA8VI5IG5L4A
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."322Please respect copyright.PENANANiH1eEr73Y
322Please respect copyright.PENANAVT6aUzu01m
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"322Please respect copyright.PENANA8MuMQLF8Nf
322Please respect copyright.PENANA0G9tHiZxyV
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."322Please respect copyright.PENANAGjUBgAOiwO
322Please respect copyright.PENANAMkl8kQPYp0
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.322Please respect copyright.PENANAgl5KZXy44K
322Please respect copyright.PENANAjl3w63mHND
"Thank you."322Please respect copyright.PENANABHvGyTqK6g
322Please respect copyright.PENANAq0t1BMo6ms
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"322Please respect copyright.PENANARZnQvL78XZ
322Please respect copyright.PENANAjD1kgPHWWB
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"322Please respect copyright.PENANAhk8ywOLr7h
322Please respect copyright.PENANA50foCAYcTI
"Yeah, you know t-"322Please respect copyright.PENANAJNUkn1YQ6o
322Please respect copyright.PENANApLocsGZ13D
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."322Please respect copyright.PENANAxYPBGTb3Y4
322Please respect copyright.PENANAwHQoCgFUQD
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"322Please respect copyright.PENANAAXYK3V9sls
322Please respect copyright.PENANATs0Xtv8Ah4
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."322Please respect copyright.PENANAdFQ6Ekpqk3
322Please respect copyright.PENANAXLi5sVF07b
"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.322Please respect copyright.PENANApdkp79TCiC
322Please respect copyright.PENANAoLDC5QWGlu
"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."322Please respect copyright.PENANA60hRvWkgwn
322Please respect copyright.PENANAWo11mPG1gq
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"322Please respect copyright.PENANA2IS8QaMkgR
322Please respect copyright.PENANAZxS98WAkKL
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"322Please respect copyright.PENANARy9pizspiI
322Please respect copyright.PENANAdLlYmhl4vQ
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.322Please respect copyright.PENANADBn0sajUkG
322Please respect copyright.PENANAe7folR3fIf
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANA2ALGH1N3Pw
322Please respect copyright.PENANAeGeOhg7iix
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."322Please respect copyright.PENANAJQEIQZDjUX
322Please respect copyright.PENANAIbbzfzRjCD
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"322Please respect copyright.PENANARt9EwSit5E
322Please respect copyright.PENANA3xoETlV9qE
"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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAidDzGQQsrI
322Please respect copyright.PENANAximkm8gcjj
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.322Please respect copyright.PENANADPFjwhFre5
322Please respect copyright.PENANAGcsDsv6wmb
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."322Please respect copyright.PENANA4EUJ1NFtoD
322Please respect copyright.PENANAE2HCLRyoym
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 322Please respect copyright.PENANAJfcZFVhP14
322Please respect copyright.PENANAVdOj8guxtb
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAvQuTMwD09i
322Please respect copyright.PENANArMQUK2kEQ8
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."322Please respect copyright.PENANANnhAMOfiZN
322Please respect copyright.PENANABDUjGjPwX6
"You knew him?"322Please respect copyright.PENANAXgcLZAIPFR
322Please respect copyright.PENANAC8f2ByUcjw
"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."322Please respect copyright.PENANAExneHuM8bA
322Please respect copyright.PENANAhVdpo9ZYmO
I smiled, "You too!"322Please respect copyright.PENANAeg9zrD6uPv
322Please respect copyright.PENANA8oMMkUiTH4
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAO5RpJ1wUBO
322Please respect copyright.PENANAEsxhnLMSFR
"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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAFe9ywrCrP2
322Please respect copyright.PENANAv0rVKRyr1h
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."322Please respect copyright.PENANA3xHFpx9sKu
322Please respect copyright.PENANA3NorMlHU2k
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."322Please respect copyright.PENANAgkszS2DFv2
322Please respect copyright.PENANA6wH0ncWY8X
"Meeting here?" I asked her.322Please respect copyright.PENANA2IONqxbIDG
322Please respect copyright.PENANAApEUTtQYtU
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.322Please respect copyright.PENANAF4geB4T2ZA
322Please respect copyright.PENANAbAbdEahjPC
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAnDcFiV6WvM
322Please respect copyright.PENANAzcuOq37Vlj
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."322Please respect copyright.PENANABZ6ILFW25W
322Please respect copyright.PENANAUhqbyIiRrq
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."322Please respect copyright.PENANABoO8QNBzpq
322Please respect copyright.PENANAvXQDCIBw4l
"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."322Please respect copyright.PENANAMKhfLXcXuj
322Please respect copyright.PENANAVImTEnxuzW
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAcMvsZoZj0O
322Please respect copyright.PENANAm6PGLH2CAC
There was just too much I didn't know yet.322Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7j6ePO9Da
322Please respect copyright.PENANAq46v3y2f83
"May! There you are."322Please respect copyright.PENANAfJY2ayaFCE
322Please respect copyright.PENANAp1KfGI2raN
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAWMQOK5kZQE
322Please respect copyright.PENANAryYKwAA1Kf
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAzPgd1MzdFw
322Please respect copyright.PENANAANPwCNMVQ3
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.322Please respect copyright.PENANAeTsIdK4HeM
322Please respect copyright.PENANAupLOpc0gwk
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."322Please respect copyright.PENANAFgDgNpB4nY
322Please respect copyright.PENANAaYLV7yXA5Q
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."322Please respect copyright.PENANAHNx3HAvBTo
322Please respect copyright.PENANAuPcBZ1N5xL
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.322Please respect copyright.PENANAYOwJzmMAYv
322Please respect copyright.PENANAVv5TC6vbeW
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.322Please respect copyright.PENANAiesHgxwMge
322Please respect copyright.PENANADKbrmuFZj6
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.322Please respect copyright.PENANASClAgyeSDZ
322Please respect copyright.PENANAG9bOi2n7gU
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."322Please respect copyright.PENANArBs8YlNtKS
322Please respect copyright.PENANANyhXJOOGqV
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."322Please respect copyright.PENANASh2MUQGEW5
322Please respect copyright.PENANAUmfuLuiGJW
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."322Please respect copyright.PENANAlb1UZiEzHg
322Please respect copyright.PENANAmNWxlcnLOE
"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."322Please respect copyright.PENANAMky1Aa27Ak
322Please respect copyright.PENANAjCgUB5f1YJ
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."322Please respect copyright.PENANAUZouFh0soh
322Please respect copyright.PENANA91RQGGr5XM
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"322Please respect copyright.PENANASLxvcQM3qe
322Please respect copyright.PENANAvkiVC2MuuN
"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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAq44HI3L65g
322Please respect copyright.PENANAVRLrqGXbcs
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."322Please respect copyright.PENANAU2by8TBrsb
322Please respect copyright.PENANA12BWlrx0aX
"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?"322Please respect copyright.PENANApUpWVCziKX
322Please respect copyright.PENANAtKPLpXUTmv
"Sure!" I said brightly.322Please respect copyright.PENANAPj1lZGXvQH
322Please respect copyright.PENANASZr7ii8NQC
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAqitDhoWBS3
322Please respect copyright.PENANADPMgmhZR4U
_322Please respect copyright.PENANAwICpNOSMUA
322Please respect copyright.PENANA0JADC0SJt1
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"322Please respect copyright.PENANANWalgnShT1
322Please respect copyright.PENANAxWDrxIJlxZ
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAhjqu7yhyiC
322Please respect copyright.PENANA0SKw22NYp8
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.322Please respect copyright.PENANAkxfHOyBJo6
322Please respect copyright.PENANARKr13woudj
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"322Please respect copyright.PENANA2fZ0XemL0Z
322Please respect copyright.PENANA6IcfBAtbJg
Thank god! Pizza! 322Please respect copyright.PENANAXpeKIdJ4BF
322Please respect copyright.PENANAePfSvY1UDc
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.322Please respect copyright.PENANAMQm39x2WhF
322Please respect copyright.PENANAFaV88fhkaX
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.322Please respect copyright.PENANAh5qfVoLAt8
322Please respect copyright.PENANAVLexMUd7z0
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANACQPIofaT8d
322Please respect copyright.PENANA5x8TWNw0Mo
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.322Please respect copyright.PENANAnK49wNpjR2
322Please respect copyright.PENANAuPC3oOTTQ8
"You'll get used to it."322Please respect copyright.PENANASlR0GbVvd7
322Please respect copyright.PENANAFJzMBCE85x
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"322Please respect copyright.PENANAhmMgEixQNK
322Please respect copyright.PENANAyCbtLKz0pJ
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."322Please respect copyright.PENANAyPSTRpxvPr
322Please respect copyright.PENANAS0fbiZprAG
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 322Please respect copyright.PENANAcGlCr13Fxa
322Please respect copyright.PENANA1bkBkugVIU
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."322Please respect copyright.PENANAiZrO8Ptwre
322Please respect copyright.PENANAdkfjizYrc0
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 322Please respect copyright.PENANAmm5HtPfeKC
322Please respect copyright.PENANArToff9TtPP
"Mother?" I pushed.322Please respect copyright.PENANAUKDZ1h73Zr
322Please respect copyright.PENANA3K24LIYona
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."322Please respect copyright.PENANALosdb40FbC
322Please respect copyright.PENANANPBm4q95oF
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANASsaNys5AWR
322Please respect copyright.PENANAlyssQyyNtj
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAHrfD0ErOHC
322Please respect copyright.PENANAqGeCen3whq
"May?" I said, confused.322Please respect copyright.PENANAsAB4g00bYH
322Please respect copyright.PENANATm8BDuLwnN
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANALn1SVO2ViY
322Please respect copyright.PENANAxPJT5HRBLH
"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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAVD7dvy2mCa
322Please respect copyright.PENANA409W98rmL6
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."322Please respect copyright.PENANAdcH9Ba4vpv
322Please respect copyright.PENANAzZQaioSauR
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAyYT1Hsn0g7
322Please respect copyright.PENANAEpKG1B6lqn
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANAW4ZkurwJIo
322Please respect copyright.PENANAbDnTOJwMsD
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.322Please respect copyright.PENANABIdltZZJkh
322Please respect copyright.PENANAPajpFUmzMb
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.322Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9tr7SY3WG
322Please respect copyright.PENANArvcN5IwEHr
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.322Please respect copyright.PENANAdiyNsu3aVM
322Please respect copyright.PENANA5D6vn2AjFa
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.322Please respect copyright.PENANANesocSLu18
322Please respect copyright.PENANAm4mk0Kb6tH
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.322Please respect copyright.PENANAKRLrSMlsR1
322Please respect copyright.PENANAAOwPTevOZT
"Kalon Wolfe."322Please respect copyright.PENANA5EpjwrGa9g
