"How do you like your eggs?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAi157yWSL00
324Please respect copyright.PENANATuda9TAnPo
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."324Please respect copyright.PENANANxihBHLAEp
324Please respect copyright.PENANAiN1BDk8yZ3
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAk2CWk4TT9d
324Please respect copyright.PENANAUs3HF2bNh0
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."324Please respect copyright.PENANApupiR0XIw7
324Please respect copyright.PENANAdrN60CFnIH
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAJqYJl6AliD
324Please respect copyright.PENANAQavhPs1Nph
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."324Please respect copyright.PENANAaimyCFMFtB
324Please respect copyright.PENANACvEAwdL88q
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.324Please respect copyright.PENANAeRPcDH9Asn
324Please respect copyright.PENANAJt638dVj2G
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.324Please respect copyright.PENANAwXmOahuSZw
324Please respect copyright.PENANAG33X7Vx9In
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."324Please respect copyright.PENANAmUR3l7MZAd
324Please respect copyright.PENANAbYInvkDVCa
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANABPNz3eBYDc
324Please respect copyright.PENANAJTGjdz2zmu
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANApFrYuM4pwt
324Please respect copyright.PENANAyQYFXSNZHx
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.324Please respect copyright.PENANAQXmEHG10S1
324Please respect copyright.PENANArNNOYhLZTW
"Nothing to like."324Please respect copyright.PENANA0C5SBLXAnt
324Please respect copyright.PENANAlWKlsgx1FF
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."324Please respect copyright.PENANArcPidYj4jU
324Please respect copyright.PENANA1AKExhp7H6
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.324Please respect copyright.PENANAq6rliSYMkr
324Please respect copyright.PENANAp8n0D0Mvi0
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAjaMjFFWnrg
324Please respect copyright.PENANArQB1ntiVLr
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."324Please respect copyright.PENANA5PgEPLFjE3
324Please respect copyright.PENANAmi7SWMFl1p
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."324Please respect copyright.PENANAjHGzBUL84O
324Please respect copyright.PENANAIgAMg7NQYi
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAu34X7RWWG3
324Please respect copyright.PENANALrPaN3zL4w
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."324Please respect copyright.PENANAfKCdDnJuFJ
324Please respect copyright.PENANAhth1oJS4w4
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.324Please respect copyright.PENANAAI5DluuvFJ
324Please respect copyright.PENANAKkAyoU163w
"Thank you."324Please respect copyright.PENANAYv0a50CSuK
324Please respect copyright.PENANAPfEjj4z8xZ
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAEaYzWwzdUb
324Please respect copyright.PENANAtbhX7bOwgf
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"324Please respect copyright.PENANA1OcXcpgmkD
324Please respect copyright.PENANASfNjq9K3o0
"Yeah, you know t-"324Please respect copyright.PENANAPsM1sDflZj
324Please respect copyright.PENANAE3STU5XeQY
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."324Please respect copyright.PENANAYjmzjFTrBk
324Please respect copyright.PENANAiMVvln5VaE
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAXrENPmUCNj
324Please respect copyright.PENANA1MPDtkEGM9
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."324Please respect copyright.PENANAT0KOlBDMQN
324Please respect copyright.PENANAs9PsBjHCno
"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.324Please respect copyright.PENANApqbCLUCKyn
324Please respect copyright.PENANANaAa83xNQz
"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."324Please respect copyright.PENANAdRKaBd1bEE
324Please respect copyright.PENANARlZMojuwkH
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"324Please respect copyright.PENANAjw0Nhi2nHJ
324Please respect copyright.PENANApTtA2wALhh
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAcYpwGbV4MO
324Please respect copyright.PENANAD7WCBJ4ftB
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.324Please respect copyright.PENANARULawmlpxh
324Please respect copyright.PENANAtNMzgdPEiN
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAG2cRSku71G
324Please respect copyright.PENANAhUyCENq37w
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."324Please respect copyright.PENANA9La3kPDf4X
324Please respect copyright.PENANA93AZKEHkGH
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"324Please respect copyright.PENANA96dcnyt4c2
324Please respect copyright.PENANATkFtQp2A5z
"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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAZWnmJiYACv
324Please respect copyright.PENANAcRaOXPfX7c
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.324Please respect copyright.PENANAKV8ynsgNGV
324Please respect copyright.PENANAjVEnYhxQQu
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."324Please respect copyright.PENANAQcA1WiTrAR
324Please respect copyright.PENANAkJQahj2XsD
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 324Please respect copyright.PENANAZJnAidnMgm
324Please respect copyright.PENANAhRUEE7XTuk
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAUQJRfokRqJ
324Please respect copyright.PENANAHZCrULpvqB
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."324Please respect copyright.PENANAUor6PIyldi
324Please respect copyright.PENANAUTikHYWItX
"You knew him?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAS0nOyoC46v
324Please respect copyright.PENANAUwKBVedIx1
"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."324Please respect copyright.PENANAw3gaWHP42E
324Please respect copyright.PENANAVPwZ5HibjB
I smiled, "You too!"324Please respect copyright.PENANAQrWMxIJKgV
324Please respect copyright.PENANAwJN8z3ok9x
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAAzMMBWdKKW
324Please respect copyright.PENANA9bxRfMRObe
"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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAXZYFqROxB4
324Please respect copyright.PENANAoX43t9g3q2
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."324Please respect copyright.PENANAvjjzZOSAqT
324Please respect copyright.PENANAHTgg0ecgan
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."324Please respect copyright.PENANAO36pQCqaMS
324Please respect copyright.PENANAldBWTqOXIB
"Meeting here?" I asked her.324Please respect copyright.PENANA4rFT9y9V5B
324Please respect copyright.PENANAOZuPef83Ip
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.324Please respect copyright.PENANAFm1fNyBihu
324Please respect copyright.PENANAdoZNkA4FOy
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANASNbZM63UlS
324Please respect copyright.PENANADSkfYlIHwZ
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."324Please respect copyright.PENANAeLFqE8zblq
324Please respect copyright.PENANAwKe1lWHs7K
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."324Please respect copyright.PENANAOoAsNAuykP
324Please respect copyright.PENANA8XbZfNvsDB
"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."324Please respect copyright.PENANAC61Jtlf2Qm
324Please respect copyright.PENANAu7GjGNbLmR
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAECK4U563fC
324Please respect copyright.PENANAMhRW8Nb1av
There was just too much I didn't know yet.324Please respect copyright.PENANAlcL4NaS1De
324Please respect copyright.PENANAgJmTUzMxzI
"May! There you are."324Please respect copyright.PENANAfLGhszoJGT
324Please respect copyright.PENANAa0vCEz6QaF
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAmfnFUZ5NHX
324Please respect copyright.PENANAJQiyqAYhPM
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAraRguID7lE
324Please respect copyright.PENANAwyT50zQpeF
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.324Please respect copyright.PENANAoD0Fx6HqZI
324Please respect copyright.PENANA0TZPlvnT6Z
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."324Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2VikqLp2x
324Please respect copyright.PENANAbEoQ6tdPqu
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."324Please respect copyright.PENANAxbhHJk6raT
324Please respect copyright.PENANAYPY4y0vEP3
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.324Please respect copyright.PENANAPkZKAIBOwb
324Please respect copyright.PENANAgnWEzGSSoY
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.324Please respect copyright.PENANAtAei8RMc6J
324Please respect copyright.PENANAQsBMWQVEgh
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.324Please respect copyright.PENANAovW468s88R
324Please respect copyright.PENANAcwroaCeVxl
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."324Please respect copyright.PENANAUOOZHMvf4a
324Please respect copyright.PENANARaLKhTwkxa
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."324Please respect copyright.PENANAVmuYYU3Dqp
324Please respect copyright.PENANAzCXd2yy2If
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."324Please respect copyright.PENANAg2niC4fClo
324Please respect copyright.PENANAEQXQ8oFyS7
"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."324Please respect copyright.PENANAecgeaHpmSl
324Please respect copyright.PENANAORo0wAxSu8
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."324Please respect copyright.PENANAFeptBtMwI3
324Please respect copyright.PENANA3F3AFonah6
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"324Please respect copyright.PENANAmlZbYVfFiq
324Please respect copyright.PENANA2EqgSCIrgi
"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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAGdGwwzzXbW
324Please respect copyright.PENANAu2TbbYUTRH
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."324Please respect copyright.PENANAKg9sJbZdcv
324Please respect copyright.PENANAqA85f0rK3O
"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?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAJYdRS6wb6r
324Please respect copyright.PENANA6aTS6x42LH
"Sure!" I said brightly.324Please respect copyright.PENANAEjcXTUKKTU
324Please respect copyright.PENANASjXAODynDJ
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAfMv8azlAdv
324Please respect copyright.PENANAgdqi3ClRQM
_324Please respect copyright.PENANALqJyCiYVlH
324Please respect copyright.PENANAU524T8r4MX
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"324Please respect copyright.PENANATVqA92EYDH
324Please respect copyright.PENANALfNRtgtLog
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAnY8eTeSOgU
324Please respect copyright.PENANAQa1ToMt65s
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.324Please respect copyright.PENANAZc1wha7YmP
324Please respect copyright.PENANAfYRIkeb3DT
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAqThIvxNJty
324Please respect copyright.PENANAXaQeN5EUhM
Thank god! Pizza! 324Please respect copyright.PENANApxeIU7Eizs
324Please respect copyright.PENANAg4IxJ9FWJW
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.324Please respect copyright.PENANANLIorrfefJ
324Please respect copyright.PENANADhGHFimrPX
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.324Please respect copyright.PENANAGR5oSuDqOf
324Please respect copyright.PENANApVwl7KDZXs
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAryipZBG1TY
324Please respect copyright.PENANAJsvTg5iQPg
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.324Please respect copyright.PENANAtoANeBGUe3
324Please respect copyright.PENANAj5ZLOe5Qno
"You'll get used to it."324Please respect copyright.PENANApjt4DxNAL4
324Please respect copyright.PENANAqBfzZiyds9
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"324Please respect copyright.PENANAhYUa3Y7sFi
324Please respect copyright.PENANAagNSvuWjP9
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."324Please respect copyright.PENANAFMFqmsJUsk
324Please respect copyright.PENANArhsD86w5GR
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 324Please respect copyright.PENANAeYePxpGfn7
324Please respect copyright.PENANAz1SruECbJe
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."324Please respect copyright.PENANAl1kNerzRib
324Please respect copyright.PENANA3r5WN5IWx1
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 324Please respect copyright.PENANAWrAkzABotb
324Please respect copyright.PENANANIerJtmfgt
"Mother?" I pushed.324Please respect copyright.PENANAxgHO4jL5gm
324Please respect copyright.PENANAgDqprCsQDm
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."324Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6EijP4FZl
324Please respect copyright.PENANAKklYQbqXhg
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAPKWB2zTKrF
324Please respect copyright.PENANApfK7DxiOf9
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAADYJE5uuUs
324Please respect copyright.PENANAt4NARFQAY4
"May?" I said, confused.324Please respect copyright.PENANAzXMX9pje6L
324Please respect copyright.PENANAHkVRME83Hf
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAPLedymAfPj
324Please respect copyright.PENANAtxNqA0B0AC
"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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAslCGxLqYXI
324Please respect copyright.PENANAJEf3ftmkia
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."324Please respect copyright.PENANAgdf5dr4dNd
324Please respect copyright.PENANACpEX4CEY6T
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAwabliixq3K
324Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vezscp4oF
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANAmZxL073nPp
324Please respect copyright.PENANArFsq8QZP4w
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.324Please respect copyright.PENANApcGNB7O0VM
324Please respect copyright.PENANAoRwnFzrkW7
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.324Please respect copyright.PENANAaktu5ydQNl
324Please respect copyright.PENANAloMnAptPxh
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.324Please respect copyright.PENANAVipCsRqoGi
324Please respect copyright.PENANAGWwm0zttfA
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.324Please respect copyright.PENANA2zPjRF8nje
324Please respect copyright.PENANAMV1CTaEVtz
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.324Please respect copyright.PENANAQEHpb22enP
324Please respect copyright.PENANATybkuf455U
"Kalon Wolfe."324Please respect copyright.PENANAWAy0bdT5CH
324Please respect copyright.PENANALn8nTsq3W3
324Please respect copyright.PENANAYCK2Jg0B33
