"How do you like your eggs?"211Please respect copyright.PENANAuUUdbIKHtb
211Please respect copyright.PENANAV1fj6H1qPw
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."211Please respect copyright.PENANA8S0TPQ8rgm
211Please respect copyright.PENANAKQxlghKgqv
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAqMexpt689v
211Please respect copyright.PENANAX5Tg55PimK
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."211Please respect copyright.PENANAUiTlVRLWEp
211Please respect copyright.PENANA770NwNAYqX
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"211Please respect copyright.PENANAkIWWoBi50V
211Please respect copyright.PENANAJrMM9NZPgf
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."211Please respect copyright.PENANAB4EIRBTuuY
211Please respect copyright.PENANAReGs0LajPz
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.211Please respect copyright.PENANAYMqOnSfYFj
211Please respect copyright.PENANALyvCpVty9e
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.211Please respect copyright.PENANAHJXx4s9huN
211Please respect copyright.PENANAjw8bvURxoZ
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."211Please respect copyright.PENANAco9Q1gZhUm
211Please respect copyright.PENANAMV1wdvNsGV
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAHzKv1FMylA
211Please respect copyright.PENANA10O4vRKdek
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAiEpxg6wDuw
211Please respect copyright.PENANA0x3MRS0UOf
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.211Please respect copyright.PENANAxu6d9e7NLe
211Please respect copyright.PENANA5jxYrjn90E
"Nothing to like."211Please respect copyright.PENANAMGN8JJy79x
211Please respect copyright.PENANAWx6VnNkISC
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."211Please respect copyright.PENANA97BJRqqMKA
211Please respect copyright.PENANAvzDQNIgcRL
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.211Please respect copyright.PENANAJRJvurHqJJ
211Please respect copyright.PENANAEGZj4R6cfp
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"211Please respect copyright.PENANAc71YcDVO3b
211Please respect copyright.PENANA5VMoDMfZmg
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."211Please respect copyright.PENANAjBidmGnqcu
211Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ66dFjfo4
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."211Please respect copyright.PENANAMG2KwNvuio
211Please respect copyright.PENANAC0VDNgCpcz
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"211Please respect copyright.PENANAebf5vWfoG1
211Please respect copyright.PENANASymlNtC0F0
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."211Please respect copyright.PENANACi50ytBn7b
211Please respect copyright.PENANA8Wl93aKCBZ
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.211Please respect copyright.PENANAGYIF502dgF
211Please respect copyright.PENANAAIROuta4Ss
"Thank you."211Please respect copyright.PENANAJVuc11CcYG
211Please respect copyright.PENANA1EO4LGyFmZ
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"211Please respect copyright.PENANA7ONB4pQi5s
211Please respect copyright.PENANARtrLqJCl2u
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"211Please respect copyright.PENANAmaZfAOj3Oj
211Please respect copyright.PENANAwDJ782rmdB
"Yeah, you know t-"211Please respect copyright.PENANACsfZtSOfVr
211Please respect copyright.PENANAe1p11dPBsk
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."211Please respect copyright.PENANA7q5HiqWkeE
211Please respect copyright.PENANAseFuCsnKfK
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"211Please respect copyright.PENANAmDinwBkWlp
211Please respect copyright.PENANA2qYViFyHVs
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."211Please respect copyright.PENANA8c5oi0xQ7f
211Please respect copyright.PENANA9kJAe2o7i3
"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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAvtwE7rw7LC
211Please respect copyright.PENANALtVvmUby6l
"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."211Please respect copyright.PENANAWVln7e7frb
211Please respect copyright.PENANAX56ggaxsb5
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"211Please respect copyright.PENANA4MSe1wH3g8
211Please respect copyright.PENANA7thkM8xukU
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"211Please respect copyright.PENANAsaHdyos5tq
211Please respect copyright.PENANAqFQRXlTDNe
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.211Please respect copyright.PENANAaBjYKnNefb
211Please respect copyright.PENANAGGAQTtx70p
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAjUZVkcKx2e
211Please respect copyright.PENANA8k0lXxHRnz
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."211Please respect copyright.PENANAkFdlwLPnVD
211Please respect copyright.PENANAJS1wo6vJRj
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"211Please respect copyright.PENANAY55lZxjjbp
211Please respect copyright.PENANAn3uPcGc6cF
"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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAD0FwBYDr0F
211Please respect copyright.PENANA7vjpvlHEbq
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.211Please respect copyright.PENANAAVU9A5b7XG
211Please respect copyright.PENANAPSYECm5abT
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."211Please respect copyright.PENANAuF4VjILdkW
211Please respect copyright.PENANA7p7FKtveSu
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 211Please respect copyright.PENANAO1P6wokQaY
211Please respect copyright.PENANAVT3HZN0C3i
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANA6ItHykL1eN
211Please respect copyright.PENANAoqjq9t3MOY
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."211Please respect copyright.PENANAQesoK3OpFu
211Please respect copyright.PENANAPPuu42xEby
"You knew him?"211Please respect copyright.PENANAN9ys2s2iO0
211Please respect copyright.PENANAnGwTG0SiAc
"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."211Please respect copyright.PENANAIqdXSb9RIn
211Please respect copyright.PENANANBIFtA8qbp
I smiled, "You too!"211Please respect copyright.PENANAdPcZr7nH2u
211Please respect copyright.PENANA0AnuRrvsaZ
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAj9ciU3uD0D
211Please respect copyright.PENANA1FZk5m0EvU
"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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAifecez3QcK
211Please respect copyright.PENANA670PVHM4S2
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."211Please respect copyright.PENANAnnNLDWmcCl
211Please respect copyright.PENANATzhja3cZot
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."211Please respect copyright.PENANAt6cRW7v8NQ
211Please respect copyright.PENANAX3Dhfwvc6B
"Meeting here?" I asked her.211Please respect copyright.PENANAEbEm0DGBn1
211Please respect copyright.PENANArsfmF4ks1H
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.211Please respect copyright.PENANAiTKrW0fIBc
211Please respect copyright.PENANAZVKEopkA2X
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAsMNekLtpVX
211Please respect copyright.PENANA4elsCtGEiY
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."211Please respect copyright.PENANAKwBZ32tS2O
211Please respect copyright.PENANAQVP5QnYfbV
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."211Please respect copyright.PENANASGTt66RzjY
211Please respect copyright.PENANAEE4GM3RgSQ
"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."211Please respect copyright.PENANAiimRXI62Og
211Please respect copyright.PENANAgNGGjb1y25
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAI8CvNPXuM9
211Please respect copyright.PENANAIpchpbg04V
There was just too much I didn't know yet.211Please respect copyright.PENANARZqy3FJCEb
211Please respect copyright.PENANAaVrqLdRbqI
"May! There you are."211Please respect copyright.PENANAb3MPRLiuGk
211Please respect copyright.PENANAE5BCEJmenA
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAZeaVhk7ui0
211Please respect copyright.PENANAgtoc6vCWTY
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAHNsYVeEiG8
211Please respect copyright.PENANA6Wd3696lK4
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.211Please respect copyright.PENANAY0A6yRpj9X
211Please respect copyright.PENANAjG6wYWNZEm
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."211Please respect copyright.PENANAe5fyRGtEYy
211Please respect copyright.PENANAAghvqUjNjL
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."211Please respect copyright.PENANA72MgpXiITG
211Please respect copyright.PENANA4uZlb7bXGx
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.211Please respect copyright.PENANAYzZ0c9U8Kd
211Please respect copyright.PENANAH7a0msXp6m
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.211Please respect copyright.PENANAbPI60q52uS
211Please respect copyright.PENANALXPNdU4XGx
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.211Please respect copyright.PENANA1zjd63cpur
211Please respect copyright.PENANACdvb9oTpGm
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."211Please respect copyright.PENANA6QTgmDdMxi
211Please respect copyright.PENANA8u5W3LKWKv
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."211Please respect copyright.PENANAWiOivelWJc
211Please respect copyright.PENANAUiO5cycSLC
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."211Please respect copyright.PENANAdbWtfiFqLb
211Please respect copyright.PENANAlOnXBJrrpl
"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."211Please respect copyright.PENANAlyzVnhvVU0
211Please respect copyright.PENANABEXM8lz4aT
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."211Please respect copyright.PENANA6fC0LMvQym
211Please respect copyright.PENANAe1IehOlgxm
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"211Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ja9A3FCu8
211Please respect copyright.PENANAgskcY3HS04
"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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAA6kQmhtgX8
211Please respect copyright.PENANAc5OpFiWWGu
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."211Please respect copyright.PENANAKAx49quoU8
211Please respect copyright.PENANAIF4dNydHQ4
"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?"211Please respect copyright.PENANA1H7BxZgSHZ
211Please respect copyright.PENANAseiMmuhqis
"Sure!" I said brightly.211Please respect copyright.PENANArULD6JLyPq
211Please respect copyright.PENANAo8ZMsTmfFi
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANACpKsFD261o
211Please respect copyright.PENANAP3zDzEDWkR
_211Please respect copyright.PENANAdnGtFRBbpZ
211Please respect copyright.PENANAzGu2NMwhyg
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"211Please respect copyright.PENANAT50j7koqEO
211Please respect copyright.PENANAzZDYAPi54m
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAHmuNgRtOC9
211Please respect copyright.PENANAPQnElvAwZF
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.211Please respect copyright.PENANAFi8yvTSNJh
211Please respect copyright.PENANA0gj0AjoKVL
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"211Please respect copyright.PENANAcCanHVwxaF
211Please respect copyright.PENANACYPgh1w8u3
Thank god! Pizza! 211Please respect copyright.PENANAAfr1UZ2I1O
211Please respect copyright.PENANA91LMIvHHy1
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.211Please respect copyright.PENANAK92MEJLIPI
211Please respect copyright.PENANAge8Yq2l1IG
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.211Please respect copyright.PENANAlVGtB8Muas
211Please respect copyright.PENANAOvsIGVZdon
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAykyW3iz6Sw
211Please respect copyright.PENANAqygMLUfOXY
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.211Please respect copyright.PENANAhu5KwNmVjb
211Please respect copyright.PENANA67pzQOvC1g
"You'll get used to it."211Please respect copyright.PENANAH7ctEiex9U
211Please respect copyright.PENANA5kAcNsIyoz
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"211Please respect copyright.PENANA2eb42xllvM
211Please respect copyright.PENANAer6Y0CHhSG
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."211Please respect copyright.PENANABal72uiRRR
211Please respect copyright.PENANADepvxQsvrV
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 211Please respect copyright.PENANAlcidPZSzXe
211Please respect copyright.PENANAO3EXLcjFgx
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."211Please respect copyright.PENANAYLBjFsJqtT
211Please respect copyright.PENANAcdpnYerpjM
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 211Please respect copyright.PENANASmVG7KUfR6
211Please respect copyright.PENANADrs24Owvpf
"Mother?" I pushed.211Please respect copyright.PENANA5FLQxYQlUy
211Please respect copyright.PENANAU0xJcw4eay
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."211Please respect copyright.PENANANzi5VOoeZO
211Please respect copyright.PENANA9oyRTqUVK6
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANA5wgEg72iGi
211Please respect copyright.PENANAPyKVJfc55f
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANArPuxLt4A3O
211Please respect copyright.PENANAwuUAUHbHRk
"May?" I said, confused.211Please respect copyright.PENANAm2WR9wn7zN
211Please respect copyright.PENANAOgvtgT0qD7
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAKSUf0NYTQA
211Please respect copyright.PENANApaD9wC5amy
"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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAoR3hltPcb1
211Please respect copyright.PENANADNTvGUFxb2
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."211Please respect copyright.PENANAk5VH0xAShL
211Please respect copyright.PENANAe7a3fIoAmj
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAOciFLyzpiv
211Please respect copyright.PENANAZThBoF2c3x
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANANJTRy9waMm
211Please respect copyright.PENANABXR7l3IxPe
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAMzu5VERDqd
211Please respect copyright.PENANAfmgO1PbQuq
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.211Please respect copyright.PENANA6LA4H8lR4J
211Please respect copyright.PENANALIO0d40ecB
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.211Please respect copyright.PENANALsNSAb5bEV
211Please respect copyright.PENANAH5mqL7Ob3e
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.211Please respect copyright.PENANArXNDTzTmcr
211Please respect copyright.PENANAUXnTOIsY2R
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.211Please respect copyright.PENANACJX20nIkb0
211Please respect copyright.PENANAZzGm0aOfVx
"Kalon Wolfe."211Please respect copyright.PENANAoLevlZJj6L
211Please respect copyright.PENANAD9Imiu9jkb
211Please respect copyright.PENANAIH4rYztaas
