"How do you like your eggs?"206Please respect copyright.PENANAGiB1EyJpCL
206Please respect copyright.PENANAngg6pCxXIY
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."206Please respect copyright.PENANAVCmUkLmbVf
206Please respect copyright.PENANARuecmu3Mev
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAwtND8SitmD
206Please respect copyright.PENANAzNd5alWmiy
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."206Please respect copyright.PENANAY0oip0QHpY
206Please respect copyright.PENANAoBvo7CF1jm
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"206Please respect copyright.PENANA2gMYDlhQAC
206Please respect copyright.PENANA2PN6zbEPy7
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."206Please respect copyright.PENANAHJzxLVrwYo
206Please respect copyright.PENANAoMOLJVHo2w
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.206Please respect copyright.PENANAIkCp8zEIjd
206Please respect copyright.PENANAkaRemHzEVw
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.206Please respect copyright.PENANAx7NVUFNBmI
206Please respect copyright.PENANAH5XVapYyFO
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."206Please respect copyright.PENANAE6UjFlehTh
206Please respect copyright.PENANAh2A0Qx722G
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAF4BZ8j3Z8e
206Please respect copyright.PENANAVlKIhh4D0D
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAtLAjZW4waF
206Please respect copyright.PENANAg4UDwPv8LM
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.206Please respect copyright.PENANA41Etr6MGEb
206Please respect copyright.PENANAkS8i7UXs1H
"Nothing to like."206Please respect copyright.PENANA84nl2onYdk
206Please respect copyright.PENANAydixT9LY2S
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."206Please respect copyright.PENANAXLIVAUTtax
206Please respect copyright.PENANA4q4NHS7sX1
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.206Please respect copyright.PENANAuy3kvEbl2z
206Please respect copyright.PENANAAzflSpQwNA
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"206Please respect copyright.PENANAA1bfR4GaiH
206Please respect copyright.PENANAMHA1PTY0S4
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."206Please respect copyright.PENANAVTHcgxT1wO
206Please respect copyright.PENANALb7s24Uqr8
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."206Please respect copyright.PENANANgxhmwRb6x
206Please respect copyright.PENANAh7ir58TZ44
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"206Please respect copyright.PENANA6ab39A7fFb
206Please respect copyright.PENANAvlIs4M6OFi
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."206Please respect copyright.PENANAfTZ9XJNXeX
206Please respect copyright.PENANADcyQOPy0X6
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.206Please respect copyright.PENANAO3hNyp8jmW
206Please respect copyright.PENANAwqb8WKoG10
"Thank you."206Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nj8oEKMSt
206Please respect copyright.PENANAoOZ1XtP4cg
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"206Please respect copyright.PENANAhe1Y2wQd8E
206Please respect copyright.PENANAG5PkIcbZDh
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"206Please respect copyright.PENANAcuvuDyFrMv
206Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZIjcqT8Rn
"Yeah, you know t-"206Please respect copyright.PENANAiZQazBfib1
206Please respect copyright.PENANAKMVbXdRG0l
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."206Please respect copyright.PENANAYhsVtcvxNl
206Please respect copyright.PENANAWVtEJChhIc
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"206Please respect copyright.PENANAhF5WT2iuGu
206Please respect copyright.PENANADFr6omYctZ
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."206Please respect copyright.PENANA43TxURiv5o
206Please respect copyright.PENANAmMKwsCmYYa
"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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAgjx8UqGeiG
206Please respect copyright.PENANAMBWnEFHLay
"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."206Please respect copyright.PENANA9NJHnKmvPZ
206Please respect copyright.PENANAh1djSm3uIq
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"206Please respect copyright.PENANAkvjTvE3fgj
206Please respect copyright.PENANArMnh40GRg5
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"206Please respect copyright.PENANApYy71vJ5sT
206Please respect copyright.PENANAGycAvY502o
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.206Please respect copyright.PENANAur70Y4gEfW
206Please respect copyright.PENANA8fa8NlmLm6
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAvako2n0kiY
206Please respect copyright.PENANAbwJidZXIRh
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."206Please respect copyright.PENANArADnHvWhcM
206Please respect copyright.PENANAZe7HFyUDBn
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"206Please respect copyright.PENANA89vlyvRtOH
206Please respect copyright.PENANApDuflyPpve
"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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAS1lnudnufh
206Please respect copyright.PENANAWoeUKGtSrv
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.206Please respect copyright.PENANAD0vIrTabBL
206Please respect copyright.PENANAYzViHI8Zei
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."206Please respect copyright.PENANATPntX6KQ9t
206Please respect copyright.PENANARudyarfQNl
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 206Please respect copyright.PENANAO4jjgZisRa
206Please respect copyright.PENANAzvbbTS7Rgf
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAP8hQYh7rrC
206Please respect copyright.PENANAX5hU5GCrYF
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."206Please respect copyright.PENANAWS7Q4yBFRy
206Please respect copyright.PENANAUxLO2CwlIt
"You knew him?"206Please respect copyright.PENANA6hGIMglVhu
206Please respect copyright.PENANAcACb1nCNxT
"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."206Please respect copyright.PENANA8nMy5JcMYs
206Please respect copyright.PENANADPXWDRKhDA
I smiled, "You too!"206Please respect copyright.PENANASp86B6eI8Z
206Please respect copyright.PENANAkcn2pVJzuu
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAEWFAEVyc25
206Please respect copyright.PENANAUaR633gtlU
"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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAjb6H0vJDDk
206Please respect copyright.PENANAcB7UNDutAc
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."206Please respect copyright.PENANA5W8tVRSkrs
206Please respect copyright.PENANAVswn5MM5Kv
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."206Please respect copyright.PENANA0MBqBxgMZf
206Please respect copyright.PENANAtLyjVEMxXf
"Meeting here?" I asked her.206Please respect copyright.PENANABbniQTf4sU
206Please respect copyright.PENANAtM0amayN06
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.206Please respect copyright.PENANAgwhopjEC71
206Please respect copyright.PENANA39xgege0QB
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAP9YMRKOIDT
206Please respect copyright.PENANAOAGyDi1Xuq
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."206Please respect copyright.PENANAWRaCPePHOg
206Please respect copyright.PENANAD3sGLL7tSn
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."206Please respect copyright.PENANAekb81gmjpE
206Please respect copyright.PENANA7ycjQlVJMh
"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."206Please respect copyright.PENANAoA0A39wi0i
206Please respect copyright.PENANAVDIHzrXvx2
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAtDd5kQo16x
206Please respect copyright.PENANALUwmXdLuUx
There was just too much I didn't know yet.206Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3MoieVjD6
206Please respect copyright.PENANAqGLfhpsIhd
"May! There you are."206Please respect copyright.PENANAFAvIW893Hn
206Please respect copyright.PENANAD0VuYwtGxN
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANALLwDVj6aX1
206Please respect copyright.PENANAKlRP6uPfCS
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAausRZmTOXJ
206Please respect copyright.PENANAXFRmsK83y6
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.206Please respect copyright.PENANAkLRPQ82Eu3
206Please respect copyright.PENANADuBNiXRE2g
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."206Please respect copyright.PENANAfubohZF8Fk
206Please respect copyright.PENANAWRtGqLtKbW
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."206Please respect copyright.PENANArz6YdqqDF0
206Please respect copyright.PENANAlCsTHe5nOm
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.206Please respect copyright.PENANAklq0n97sta
206Please respect copyright.PENANALsPiKbjHnS
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.206Please respect copyright.PENANAo7UoZhC1Tp
206Please respect copyright.PENANAfR1NvIB2x6
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.206Please respect copyright.PENANApwBesNVuJK
206Please respect copyright.PENANAMeelOTWo5G
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."206Please respect copyright.PENANAzEhc30P0Jd
206Please respect copyright.PENANARJJeZt7Zux
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."206Please respect copyright.PENANAlubUUDsMa3
206Please respect copyright.PENANAu3fCijY6Jd
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."206Please respect copyright.PENANAr1FwNDBJQR
206Please respect copyright.PENANAa2n2GcNtWB
"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."206Please respect copyright.PENANATt9uLEE88V
206Please respect copyright.PENANAPGx9fXD8fa
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."206Please respect copyright.PENANAsxb2bz2h79
206Please respect copyright.PENANAAajaF3Bovv
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"206Please respect copyright.PENANAIB8J1SjS2p
206Please respect copyright.PENANAHua0OCQcxi
"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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAQjBBKTQA9r
206Please respect copyright.PENANAPm1R2t4xOD
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."206Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9ESWPg3Hg
206Please respect copyright.PENANAGgxgVtZEGx
"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?"206Please respect copyright.PENANAERzfCLUm32
206Please respect copyright.PENANAKx14aLP5vw
"Sure!" I said brightly.206Please respect copyright.PENANAhI9VThF39N
206Please respect copyright.PENANAqpIQMzHm09
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAZq4VYidfgk
206Please respect copyright.PENANAP1ICYtjfQo
_206Please respect copyright.PENANA0KfRZ3WxU5
206Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ9xjdw70J
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"206Please respect copyright.PENANAUYGeYHLQ1G
206Please respect copyright.PENANAICCMsEJtZo
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAYeEvYTZO5K
206Please respect copyright.PENANAHgr9NvwqpD
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.206Please respect copyright.PENANAOFBiwkLDUY
206Please respect copyright.PENANArjuCE4uACJ
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"206Please respect copyright.PENANArzU1kchczm
206Please respect copyright.PENANAo2X0voOiNQ
Thank god! Pizza! 206Please respect copyright.PENANAWBnzxEnzPp
206Please respect copyright.PENANAIqDr5CiGGW
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.206Please respect copyright.PENANAWcMoHedy7q
206Please respect copyright.PENANAsc6mIZv0W3
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.206Please respect copyright.PENANAKesQGrSn8B
206Please respect copyright.PENANAqXFfrywRBA
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAFejnQl0wzD
206Please respect copyright.PENANAkgLQ6rJz9b
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.206Please respect copyright.PENANALzytplRZh1
206Please respect copyright.PENANAyss6CeXaUT
"You'll get used to it."206Please respect copyright.PENANACiFQ43cXR2
206Please respect copyright.PENANAivcbZgVzhn
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"206Please respect copyright.PENANA7oh45tmBmf
206Please respect copyright.PENANAi5Db2IzMXD
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."206Please respect copyright.PENANAeGp0Q0x9kG
206Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3yIPyI1A3
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 206Please respect copyright.PENANAgPbaycdaqT
206Please respect copyright.PENANAq1t63HKyDP
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."206Please respect copyright.PENANABwk8KdGLiF
206Please respect copyright.PENANAyl8k3Gl9xJ
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 206Please respect copyright.PENANALtZk2SF4lS
206Please respect copyright.PENANAvG55BJrTAJ
"Mother?" I pushed.206Please respect copyright.PENANA3H3zIedQdl
206Please respect copyright.PENANAtrE1Sx9Qus
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."206Please respect copyright.PENANA4MeZ6nJXzM
206Please respect copyright.PENANAoy0wIqnwiM
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAgK8lVjfwVR
206Please respect copyright.PENANA4GSh3UqpQ9
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAia1SXFrkG5
206Please respect copyright.PENANAs0Y7VYxAQu
"May?" I said, confused.206Please respect copyright.PENANAukJVBkgtFx
206Please respect copyright.PENANANz5gPB75Ec
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANA5JYKE4oqrr
206Please respect copyright.PENANA4fH9ffWfj9
"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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAPpYd0Vsjer
206Please respect copyright.PENANARLupzvRQk7
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."206Please respect copyright.PENANANFQpQCpwD5
206Please respect copyright.PENANAVXK9vCz4L5
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANARSckVRPf1o
206Please respect copyright.PENANAbmjCZlGwrS
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANA6hZjivF5cp
206Please respect copyright.PENANAhnB30hgplK
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.206Please respect copyright.PENANAa9IqDCkG1G
206Please respect copyright.PENANAiidoy8UvOP
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.206Please respect copyright.PENANA4CNbecFzXy
206Please respect copyright.PENANAXp2SeneNao
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.206Please respect copyright.PENANAjMQCm86COi
206Please respect copyright.PENANA2shkZlkSQN
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.206Please respect copyright.PENANAfRHfUtQuMe
206Please respect copyright.PENANAd4pNiHfTzp
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.206Please respect copyright.PENANAdFUQ4Wkd0n
206Please respect copyright.PENANAZkfQBkJQtE
"Kalon Wolfe."206Please respect copyright.PENANADRGMgdtKs0
206Please respect copyright.PENANAs2KTrNySSq
206Please respect copyright.PENANAeeQqpMgTEt
