"How do you like your eggs?"305Please respect copyright.PENANA9eaz6nNpHH
305Please respect copyright.PENANAgn45rRIeLk
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."305Please respect copyright.PENANALHG0MXftqu
305Please respect copyright.PENANAlTwFWNmeK1
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANA8NbwzjKHeZ
305Please respect copyright.PENANAjwE007rt9D
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."305Please respect copyright.PENANAzZKtOVyXSa
305Please respect copyright.PENANA6PcXOYexbb
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"305Please respect copyright.PENANAllHFWF9pF9
305Please respect copyright.PENANAbP0IHdFBYr
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."305Please respect copyright.PENANAbSCYjRLW8n
305Please respect copyright.PENANApv0dXSBXUU
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.305Please respect copyright.PENANAdtMKUpEVjl
305Please respect copyright.PENANAybfaBVFYte
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.305Please respect copyright.PENANAyS6sMSlgiL
305Please respect copyright.PENANANSGbb5s7XT
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."305Please respect copyright.PENANAmfnFTBwSlt
305Please respect copyright.PENANAtXwYFKfDgE
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANATekE3fwbrk
305Please respect copyright.PENANAETKr32RlDu
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAvqgMqMOHjF
305Please respect copyright.PENANAQvij9xoqrw
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.305Please respect copyright.PENANARDMjBXRcDx
305Please respect copyright.PENANAYWMlm9fE9m
"Nothing to like."305Please respect copyright.PENANABz3biUsGwx
305Please respect copyright.PENANA3wbLv1sETb
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."305Please respect copyright.PENANA4kwZ3HSCxm
305Please respect copyright.PENANAROvsPDq0oe
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.305Please respect copyright.PENANAfcxmIq6TKY
305Please respect copyright.PENANAhdZQmtXp4y
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"305Please respect copyright.PENANADpc0JIP6ke
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJXhpXTdqXr
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."305Please respect copyright.PENANAk242gfZVYI
305Please respect copyright.PENANAmxzClYSGLa
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."305Please respect copyright.PENANAT280PDQvba
305Please respect copyright.PENANA79RsUYK64U
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"305Please respect copyright.PENANARE89sWTwJ8
305Please respect copyright.PENANAYvEaLSNcTx
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."305Please respect copyright.PENANALdawO1D8eD
305Please respect copyright.PENANAjHD0CRG4x3
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.305Please respect copyright.PENANAEmbTJmthNS
305Please respect copyright.PENANA3dJViHC4PR
"Thank you."305Please respect copyright.PENANAxEE8TJY2Pc
305Please respect copyright.PENANA1KvJSj5XRg
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"305Please respect copyright.PENANAVTa2Kk0RJr
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJTUU728a31
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"305Please respect copyright.PENANA3uHb4YN5bM
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJAatv4FY0c
"Yeah, you know t-"305Please respect copyright.PENANAn8u7ZnApvX
305Please respect copyright.PENANAmfxmd2ZrOk
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."305Please respect copyright.PENANAtW8ZLGUHyC
305Please respect copyright.PENANAU1eKIVWNGY
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"305Please respect copyright.PENANAG7SYC6Rdp9
305Please respect copyright.PENANAekfO51ig7E
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."305Please respect copyright.PENANAW3gSDvMDk8
305Please respect copyright.PENANATOWXZZoVRu
"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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAUdUbJ8VtUb
305Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ2Rhkazoe
"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."305Please respect copyright.PENANAG4Nbwk7tu6
305Please respect copyright.PENANAgqztA4gVC8
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"305Please respect copyright.PENANAVPFC37QyZf
305Please respect copyright.PENANAVcVLx5nB4a
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"305Please respect copyright.PENANAHHN54LKNNC
305Please respect copyright.PENANABGrWSSsx0Z
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.305Please respect copyright.PENANAzh2PlziDmk
305Please respect copyright.PENANANkv7fA2mir
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANA16KxWw6apA
305Please respect copyright.PENANAF39346320M
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."305Please respect copyright.PENANANH0U37zOoR
305Please respect copyright.PENANAp3vQGg0ceb
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"305Please respect copyright.PENANAzubCcCAtg4
305Please respect copyright.PENANARbjxxNlUil
"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.305Please respect copyright.PENANA5a5TrdQ5EX
305Please respect copyright.PENANAY0ryempJbR
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.305Please respect copyright.PENANAWi70z4i7OQ
305Please respect copyright.PENANAYOftX7FO97
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."305Please respect copyright.PENANAlEsU5QwHHk
305Please respect copyright.PENANALS68XqVirw
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 305Please respect copyright.PENANACY4EgK6LJu
305Please respect copyright.PENANAldQh9Ux1we
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAlUtNmuZxa0
305Please respect copyright.PENANAfNoLw0EAfO
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."305Please respect copyright.PENANApTi5xOxQ15
305Please respect copyright.PENANArj16BVZuDj
"You knew him?"305Please respect copyright.PENANA6j8KJDoaC7
305Please respect copyright.PENANAdJrnaUWTfy
"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."305Please respect copyright.PENANAwDuPVNLlUM
305Please respect copyright.PENANAdHNl5rlGqX
I smiled, "You too!"305Please respect copyright.PENANADbz8fmidMz
305Please respect copyright.PENANAQmfuYRctoA
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAeV8s10K7Nk
305Please respect copyright.PENANALOPlIwVSEd
"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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAZE8kxCkQOT
305Please respect copyright.PENANAl72e8FDuOp
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."305Please respect copyright.PENANA9aWjKBhsOc
305Please respect copyright.PENANA034WlNEjQD
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."305Please respect copyright.PENANAzhWveOVgVL
305Please respect copyright.PENANAyAv5QtFTyY
"Meeting here?" I asked her.305Please respect copyright.PENANAb9D3RSbZGk
305Please respect copyright.PENANAsIhfGxIVs8
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.305Please respect copyright.PENANAJxrFv2vLDD
305Please respect copyright.PENANAMKtcRWygNK
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANALMXNG3UoGv
305Please respect copyright.PENANAjMbqohR7sb
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."305Please respect copyright.PENANA0WTlC0Hdlz
305Please respect copyright.PENANA8i2XaDGJ9R
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."305Please respect copyright.PENANAAflYdqDpUV
305Please respect copyright.PENANA2ctwqewOoZ
"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."305Please respect copyright.PENANAjocrdGTVbZ
305Please respect copyright.PENANAbDNBRkpzfO
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANALg7dUOhInk
305Please respect copyright.PENANAzqM3zUOiTd
There was just too much I didn't know yet.305Please respect copyright.PENANAwybahIDGx2
305Please respect copyright.PENANAaKajIRd81n
"May! There you are."305Please respect copyright.PENANAJvqFwkKUgH
305Please respect copyright.PENANAO2hbFZCdFK
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAqMOhGXDSfk
305Please respect copyright.PENANAy7aMrEgqhu
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAMbVYE94mE2
305Please respect copyright.PENANAfk4BzaYwB7
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.305Please respect copyright.PENANANUptD8ED8I
305Please respect copyright.PENANAegBV5h2EQn
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."305Please respect copyright.PENANAzWP7lf3SP6
305Please respect copyright.PENANAV87ZRxi3KH
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."305Please respect copyright.PENANArUMd6Cseo0
305Please respect copyright.PENANAWJzkHP7sAl
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.305Please respect copyright.PENANAwcsxJ4qFsQ
305Please respect copyright.PENANAJF2xocrQrv
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.305Please respect copyright.PENANAH3gbuqU2cL
305Please respect copyright.PENANATPSGiE92Hv
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.305Please respect copyright.PENANA5kuJNHcjaD
305Please respect copyright.PENANAgP390qTUvP
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."305Please respect copyright.PENANAilBcgemv3j
305Please respect copyright.PENANAUGki0ewQRx
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."305Please respect copyright.PENANAM4bWMbHFRG
305Please respect copyright.PENANAgKkJFiKoWp
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."305Please respect copyright.PENANAgYFocnL7eZ
305Please respect copyright.PENANApylcGC3wde
"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."305Please respect copyright.PENANA9vQGCZD8BB
305Please respect copyright.PENANAjRf07MeC14
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."305Please respect copyright.PENANAWxHTF3rep9
305Please respect copyright.PENANALxTqnerFLe
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"305Please respect copyright.PENANABF7inRUxy7
305Please respect copyright.PENANAhLTeYb9LTf
"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.305Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ac00AYKbB
305Please respect copyright.PENANAru6BLD5FAz
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."305Please respect copyright.PENANADaCj6QWE0z
305Please respect copyright.PENANAOIYatiNk4N
"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?"305Please respect copyright.PENANAvDJWW80GzF
305Please respect copyright.PENANApdfe36ojY5
"Sure!" I said brightly.305Please respect copyright.PENANAETE8SqQ9YF
305Please respect copyright.PENANAxufXmJQctY
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAdNj0RX2g71
305Please respect copyright.PENANAl27R7U6il9
_305Please respect copyright.PENANAQcPeTGEt4Q
305Please respect copyright.PENANABQU88vzCPU
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"305Please respect copyright.PENANAf8MeAPmGgd
305Please respect copyright.PENANAyk8YHX64kW
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAR6dvWEfPGK
305Please respect copyright.PENANAkY1nxeLKJj
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.305Please respect copyright.PENANAjgiA5DYpej
305Please respect copyright.PENANAfXu3LggW9s
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"305Please respect copyright.PENANATJb8w6ruBD
305Please respect copyright.PENANARJbfMaPVyI
Thank god! Pizza! 305Please respect copyright.PENANA7MIlXiIJ5P
305Please respect copyright.PENANAIx4P3N6GFF
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.305Please respect copyright.PENANAHcjGKHDxaS
305Please respect copyright.PENANAmAmN2jDYqK
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.305Please respect copyright.PENANAPeBbskjTlX
305Please respect copyright.PENANAY6O2pzgm1W
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAHqwDhOUOag
305Please respect copyright.PENANAUhkpyboixO
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.305Please respect copyright.PENANAGQBwcMsrCZ
305Please respect copyright.PENANA6wffCEJsXr
"You'll get used to it."305Please respect copyright.PENANAlwWaZuM0lb
305Please respect copyright.PENANAZrnH8YlgvE
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"305Please respect copyright.PENANAiu8ytqmYEl
305Please respect copyright.PENANAxH5QX6YBTh
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."305Please respect copyright.PENANAlfLJKg0fg3
305Please respect copyright.PENANAuAgn9OQwEg
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 305Please respect copyright.PENANAwu9SIapKCz
305Please respect copyright.PENANAh4WZBWCEJr
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."305Please respect copyright.PENANAn1UXU3AzS5
305Please respect copyright.PENANAVRek63umPx
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 305Please respect copyright.PENANACcL7aHYchQ
305Please respect copyright.PENANA7TwjWr7xRc
"Mother?" I pushed.305Please respect copyright.PENANA8VxJQXcTkd
305Please respect copyright.PENANAXedfwbBcZk
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."305Please respect copyright.PENANA6tD5EKC2jD
305Please respect copyright.PENANAfPWTenG6Aq
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6Wv6Fo1Um
305Please respect copyright.PENANARFxt9DOKz6
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANATb6QxTiH7H
305Please respect copyright.PENANAaYiYfjFMPt
"May?" I said, confused.305Please respect copyright.PENANAGmT9KZPFKh
305Please respect copyright.PENANAsVaVFedon8
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAs4W31ieGSY
305Please respect copyright.PENANATjfs8AZ8rn
"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.305Please respect copyright.PENANA4vNFjFcitM
305Please respect copyright.PENANAP1iQt5ErQL
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."305Please respect copyright.PENANA3I8wSaxMZ9
305Please respect copyright.PENANAOyw8kZujxE
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAwTvqzPoXTG
305Please respect copyright.PENANA9WMuNFJc4e
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANA5B4aLssKXH
305Please respect copyright.PENANAvPPsRZcxBH
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.305Please respect copyright.PENANAZBLtZLb4at
305Please respect copyright.PENANAoLI7eX0i4m
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.305Please respect copyright.PENANAdgyqz16siD
305Please respect copyright.PENANALRTD7jiIqm
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.305Please respect copyright.PENANAJg6gCAoIHh
305Please respect copyright.PENANAxyvom5R2Q8
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.305Please respect copyright.PENANAPtuZHisneQ
305Please respect copyright.PENANAtmvJrEImxg
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.305Please respect copyright.PENANAAXgTEukldu
305Please respect copyright.PENANAh59dwPwRiz
"Kalon Wolfe."305Please respect copyright.PENANA0LtegXPEoo
305Please respect copyright.PENANAFefKkc42W2
305Please respect copyright.PENANA0U3csvKowu
