"How do you like your eggs?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAIoaE9eSErS
308Please respect copyright.PENANA7TAXLPpIgB
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."308Please respect copyright.PENANAoN7D41mGjC
308Please respect copyright.PENANAF8cbXdmpDR
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANA5CqlkK6jJY
308Please respect copyright.PENANAexyz5Sr6Ev
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."308Please respect copyright.PENANATYJI9xJGd6
308Please respect copyright.PENANAwToSUtUh1s
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAuXG8zyB8Te
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEaFrw716sy
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."308Please respect copyright.PENANAhAArKb5Pef
308Please respect copyright.PENANAp3i9TQ9oGb
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.308Please respect copyright.PENANAB7uWyd8Oyw
308Please respect copyright.PENANASm0kFWwmpf
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.308Please respect copyright.PENANAQuX8Vt4ZxU
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzwBoukNYl1
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."308Please respect copyright.PENANAxTXhPtXogN
308Please respect copyright.PENANAqJL5iGYeJe
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAlWn8LrnSiF
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzS7IeBb4Nc
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAfwBYzTuRPz
308Please respect copyright.PENANA3xgHScmBnc
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.308Please respect copyright.PENANALVyf1aMmRp
308Please respect copyright.PENANAij9LeModyZ
"Nothing to like."308Please respect copyright.PENANARSIONnXLFH
308Please respect copyright.PENANAIN8ZaYe2rr
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."308Please respect copyright.PENANAwlPwPumtuy
308Please respect copyright.PENANAWSbOBN3nk5
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.308Please respect copyright.PENANAvamwhzszip
308Please respect copyright.PENANAnn6f9SrIXg
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAxQwT5BKe4b
308Please respect copyright.PENANAAd34nhjj72
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."308Please respect copyright.PENANAFxGh57LgOg
308Please respect copyright.PENANAzSWlEZajt4
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."308Please respect copyright.PENANATJSBydCFS1
308Please respect copyright.PENANAnWqcZYT6YZ
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"308Please respect copyright.PENANARHkmfaxEkc
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZGRZMcxsTm
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."308Please respect copyright.PENANAYzz3zXWbDd
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgjAwLKU7Qf
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.308Please respect copyright.PENANALREeO1xz1d
308Please respect copyright.PENANAX7LHiix30C
"Thank you."308Please respect copyright.PENANA5b47ZtN6kn
308Please respect copyright.PENANAh4LfbeQkK3
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"308Please respect copyright.PENANASV2X2SodwK
308Please respect copyright.PENANAFEqDzkYnAM
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAHMke9hp715
308Please respect copyright.PENANAa2mBc5FdX6
"Yeah, you know t-"308Please respect copyright.PENANAs2twtjFiAN
308Please respect copyright.PENANA7fLwxzK0J6
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."308Please respect copyright.PENANAi4Q7OCzGP1
308Please respect copyright.PENANA0oeY9Wam4X
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAOgESI3oIRK
308Please respect copyright.PENANAjg590uHxt0
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."308Please respect copyright.PENANAIcud3dXPMq
308Please respect copyright.PENANAcElj7aLVDu
"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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAUXnAZQYecn
308Please respect copyright.PENANA4kmbF9qeTB
"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."308Please respect copyright.PENANAqfEKmgYEBc
308Please respect copyright.PENANAnITe393UVD
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"308Please respect copyright.PENANACv68hrOD6Y
308Please respect copyright.PENANA9XNHnUuswA
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"308Please respect copyright.PENANA3DE2DcmH2P
308Please respect copyright.PENANAhdC6wLaga7
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.308Please respect copyright.PENANAl27JUgjMsQ
308Please respect copyright.PENANA3tZLcJhJ1U
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANA9T0yYQzwVZ
308Please respect copyright.PENANAilZbfMeKWU
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."308Please respect copyright.PENANAeP1fEA0c9v
308Please respect copyright.PENANAsIhfXKRDG0
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAEplSscx0Tm
308Please respect copyright.PENANAwHAhWeNu8f
"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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAXZhcklbx7T
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZjl1U4ZE5C
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.308Please respect copyright.PENANA4OudaxQjtN
308Please respect copyright.PENANA8wlo1pKrC4
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."308Please respect copyright.PENANAC628S4G87x
308Please respect copyright.PENANANJsnvu2mHS
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 308Please respect copyright.PENANANDgFaeD1mY
308Please respect copyright.PENANAVoXi48UIo5
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAtiXhU4czGf
308Please respect copyright.PENANADpUquIhxhf
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."308Please respect copyright.PENANA6lsdftVhq4
308Please respect copyright.PENANADJkGx2n1cx
"You knew him?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAqsMADFavTd
308Please respect copyright.PENANAo7wWJdM8tG
"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."308Please respect copyright.PENANA4rnmrpM5iy
308Please respect copyright.PENANAhZhUzXFsll
I smiled, "You too!"308Please respect copyright.PENANASCTOYOyuoI
308Please respect copyright.PENANA29pMmDWNGO
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANA3AFNr5QLAF
308Please respect copyright.PENANAvu2HPdaXYL
"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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAV81XC5Mraf
308Please respect copyright.PENANAR2O0B1iMCC
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."308Please respect copyright.PENANAF22WNqHtwY
308Please respect copyright.PENANAvnXW1QnRoI
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."308Please respect copyright.PENANAZ92t0FgY1U
308Please respect copyright.PENANASaf4ZkzF3X
"Meeting here?" I asked her.308Please respect copyright.PENANAxIhqKaQqTV
308Please respect copyright.PENANATmgLkP2Mv6
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.308Please respect copyright.PENANA00Ms2IZ5Xo
308Please respect copyright.PENANAHDxVCEZNdM
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANADrVnKMQg2o
308Please respect copyright.PENANAxCQ2jxYYEQ
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."308Please respect copyright.PENANAZGX5MF162N
308Please respect copyright.PENANAmHwQjVlZN6
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."308Please respect copyright.PENANAO1CT0KBjIc
308Please respect copyright.PENANA1v1IBfkvoL
"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."308Please respect copyright.PENANAoHRkk2i629
308Please respect copyright.PENANABZQCqFh7Ic
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ7ChRQBsm
308Please respect copyright.PENANAVsz8FfwRgn
There was just too much I didn't know yet.308Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1MFYw0OcU
308Please respect copyright.PENANAx90xtV2HY9
"May! There you are."308Please respect copyright.PENANAmBSvSLaPIC
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZJUGRjfQak
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANArvlcDRyRPf
308Please respect copyright.PENANA99hnc8eU5y
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAlQBaVjwQUq
308Please respect copyright.PENANAR47vReW3Ju
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.308Please respect copyright.PENANAV1XMrrjUL4
308Please respect copyright.PENANAqhdNWOK4t7
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."308Please respect copyright.PENANAbQpmo0cmnC
308Please respect copyright.PENANA4HmYkyFpXg
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."308Please respect copyright.PENANAKK0fgx8j5v
308Please respect copyright.PENANATToKyqRXxm
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.308Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZtQBuXcQ0
308Please respect copyright.PENANApjBV2MnuvY
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.308Please respect copyright.PENANAKvYf0TAHg9
308Please respect copyright.PENANAhQqsBgYdRo
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.308Please respect copyright.PENANAFexpMElM3P
308Please respect copyright.PENANATRy1VamEZf
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."308Please respect copyright.PENANAlPtnHvW1ad
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEsSCsDmNNc
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."308Please respect copyright.PENANArzgwd8rpub
308Please respect copyright.PENANAMqaUHAYCCE
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."308Please respect copyright.PENANArsdIDHJDYR
308Please respect copyright.PENANA58mnjm5lVv
"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."308Please respect copyright.PENANAzNREduiHvu
308Please respect copyright.PENANAfDm1raeFD4
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."308Please respect copyright.PENANALYFTnJKEIo
308Please respect copyright.PENANAKhRzPJyPHS
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"308Please respect copyright.PENANAMPu4e8HaKu
308Please respect copyright.PENANAcBmF2nGwWu
"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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAaftf4XRm7d
308Please respect copyright.PENANA65nPadDQ2D
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."308Please respect copyright.PENANAPaaNzIabsh
308Please respect copyright.PENANANMTWG1GHLV
"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?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAi3GXed7lLP
308Please respect copyright.PENANAkjP1kvOBHJ
"Sure!" I said brightly.308Please respect copyright.PENANAIFE4bMmhPW
308Please respect copyright.PENANAOzb4JmfbZP
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAEm3ZXaY5fx
308Please respect copyright.PENANAOGDBC3GmjE
_308Please respect copyright.PENANAkKHRsim60S
308Please respect copyright.PENANALvF0WIqjuK
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"308Please respect copyright.PENANAe29xkPeGE7
308Please respect copyright.PENANAPiaT5ns28n
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAQsd5WBxSzK
308Please respect copyright.PENANAls3JgDhcxI
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.308Please respect copyright.PENANAoERl4Vmx59
308Please respect copyright.PENANAaXdyLw6p0o
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAPdemhdlx8Q
308Please respect copyright.PENANALlJUWAorpH
Thank god! Pizza! 308Please respect copyright.PENANAO8BwosiERN
308Please respect copyright.PENANA5pVzaDEIdV
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.308Please respect copyright.PENANAT7qixh9GXy
308Please respect copyright.PENANAORhQCmMHGX
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.308Please respect copyright.PENANAGJak7Uek0q
308Please respect copyright.PENANA95TmmlcEOG
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAQK5jRHIQyP
308Please respect copyright.PENANAEiV7ObVbvh
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.308Please respect copyright.PENANA7ppr6trUIl
308Please respect copyright.PENANA7hQOFyGzkQ
"You'll get used to it."308Please respect copyright.PENANAAw0jRyOK9G
308Please respect copyright.PENANAi8LWLnF9z2
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"308Please respect copyright.PENANA9qOptVGXZR
308Please respect copyright.PENANA7kmBh5EQkb
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."308Please respect copyright.PENANA3yee5M7Edk
308Please respect copyright.PENANAhE5ryxWXWi
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 308Please respect copyright.PENANALx0RGoQkN8
308Please respect copyright.PENANA8y2YBOb3eO
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."308Please respect copyright.PENANAi35HkgqS7H
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgqiriEO8vX
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 308Please respect copyright.PENANADDPf25u8dx
308Please respect copyright.PENANAX8zgUcuKvD
"Mother?" I pushed.308Please respect copyright.PENANAbvE2LH1Rk2
308Please respect copyright.PENANAScAC148a7L
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."308Please respect copyright.PENANAKUyqz8fz2e
308Please respect copyright.PENANA2qVmhzGA6F
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zl84fpl2y
308Please respect copyright.PENANAW0aWv98evA
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAYxUVeek4MC
308Please respect copyright.PENANAbXx26QAzKt
"May?" I said, confused.308Please respect copyright.PENANAqqSlVMsJ4O
308Please respect copyright.PENANAcwPYwTLROo
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAhS8jYGSi1O
308Please respect copyright.PENANAQNVZZlRryL
"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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAnsTDqoPiEV
308Please respect copyright.PENANAyu7fSshHOr
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."308Please respect copyright.PENANALRf2ZeqjFM
308Please respect copyright.PENANASULbjTPsMv
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAebNIkrVBGW
308Please respect copyright.PENANAxu2uxNHtd0
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAoyFgTQNTH0
308Please respect copyright.PENANAgSAmulGgAc
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANALVAwmVqm3O
308Please respect copyright.PENANADMpp9QV2v2
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.308Please respect copyright.PENANAUvhgXlwUXl
308Please respect copyright.PENANAZwJO11lsnx
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.308Please respect copyright.PENANAwFqLFk6BQ3
308Please respect copyright.PENANALEgoNbiBu3
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.308Please respect copyright.PENANAIgITYVZNXt
308Please respect copyright.PENANA5mlcEXdIGA
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.308Please respect copyright.PENANAP6VjSm1bLs
308Please respect copyright.PENANA22py6XR2y3
"Kalon Wolfe."308Please respect copyright.PENANAY8k5zhbiul
308Please respect copyright.PENANA0aSIdPRksV
308Please respect copyright.PENANAsWQzI8Z0Zj
