"How do you like your eggs?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAzEF8mHPsa9
203Please respect copyright.PENANASMwNBYj3DZ
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."203Please respect copyright.PENANA9YNUIUDH5T
203Please respect copyright.PENANAaoKs4qw4Vb
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAouXLcmdR6r
203Please respect copyright.PENANASW8LpBNA8C
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."203Please respect copyright.PENANANH041ZwruX
203Please respect copyright.PENANAAm0fzhm9vj
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAFO6TxvYJtV
203Please respect copyright.PENANAbQjD1m2jHq
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."203Please respect copyright.PENANA1diTTYTzZH
203Please respect copyright.PENANAUNV62iGcaT
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.203Please respect copyright.PENANAGztxl8DYLP
203Please respect copyright.PENANA8yAMXNXV1o
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.203Please respect copyright.PENANAQWlznqOjl1
203Please respect copyright.PENANAwfR0SMo7zB
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."203Please respect copyright.PENANABiHbBaVKPL
203Please respect copyright.PENANAzQM2mletvN
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAHVOOLuSuXA
203Please respect copyright.PENANAFyLyFNd2F3
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAdRq9qiaPKn
203Please respect copyright.PENANAdJsetVHqYz
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.203Please respect copyright.PENANAzsOio26iuf
203Please respect copyright.PENANAKPhF9HIeBz
"Nothing to like."203Please respect copyright.PENANAjnYZEHkPdf
203Please respect copyright.PENANAxm5CYEF3KH
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."203Please respect copyright.PENANAPYqDSKhTnX
203Please respect copyright.PENANACyFZrlkbcl
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.203Please respect copyright.PENANAlpArkaS1sF
203Please respect copyright.PENANApbcC0wavHm
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAX3YBkmhqXt
203Please respect copyright.PENANAwqSo4AP2F5
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."203Please respect copyright.PENANA1n0rnHCxcs
203Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y92UHJioG
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."203Please respect copyright.PENANAbRuznTdqyU
203Please respect copyright.PENANAO5mjExtI1e
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAtuYXq9UI6G
203Please respect copyright.PENANAAPwTRrRMaC
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."203Please respect copyright.PENANAoSfjZBHmLf
203Please respect copyright.PENANA7j9iXdEbu9
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.203Please respect copyright.PENANAwxReEOwgvX
203Please respect copyright.PENANAjxOr8nop0L
"Thank you."203Please respect copyright.PENANAhcgCAb82h5
203Please respect copyright.PENANAXLmMhZD7Su
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAbsJo9CfpBm
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJAnHbzEt3o
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAWmriELHrGE
203Please respect copyright.PENANAjE9eGmtReT
"Yeah, you know t-"203Please respect copyright.PENANAMWJadvIPJT
203Please respect copyright.PENANAWxW9ayHai9
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."203Please respect copyright.PENANA7ogmyhRNVE
203Please respect copyright.PENANAoIU8qkvsxa
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAHpsFbNDl8A
203Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZEOtoClxf
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."203Please respect copyright.PENANAnZuwZ8CuzJ
203Please respect copyright.PENANA6pBYJ8in9J
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAHPwjZGZqu6
203Please respect copyright.PENANAvmhrbzxFgJ
"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."203Please respect copyright.PENANA1EE1lRJMaW
203Please respect copyright.PENANAg1KZhKEW5P
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"203Please respect copyright.PENANAwsqmUdGFAE
203Please respect copyright.PENANAxqkN9kItkA
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAerEY8GXmcP
203Please respect copyright.PENANAV6tipzpWu8
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.203Please respect copyright.PENANATeugRK4yEu
203Please respect copyright.PENANAgYoXUaaAO9
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAk4YFRuYfVH
203Please respect copyright.PENANAXfVZlUHqC3
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."203Please respect copyright.PENANALt5jma0QBB
203Please respect copyright.PENANAxeB0gsOTkT
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAI5PkOAfdv2
203Please respect copyright.PENANAVAxabCfAKO
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAGmbuNsw8OJ
203Please respect copyright.PENANAIpe4PsaOKP
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.203Please respect copyright.PENANA8i2zykiBzx
203Please respect copyright.PENANASQC4AYjdJ3
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."203Please respect copyright.PENANAIbuI9QHqQf
203Please respect copyright.PENANAU4LRk4eR9J
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 203Please respect copyright.PENANA6DHVxTas9A
203Please respect copyright.PENANA3FaTJ12Tx5
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAa4lZIa1zi3
203Please respect copyright.PENANAvRNCuDILrp
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."203Please respect copyright.PENANAwWpuhmRbPk
203Please respect copyright.PENANAMjpeU0iAny
"You knew him?"203Please respect copyright.PENANA80YJksCdqT
203Please respect copyright.PENANA0o1GQeczUd
"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."203Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pg6z1Pfq4
203Please respect copyright.PENANAtzZLG3KOuw
I smiled, "You too!"203Please respect copyright.PENANAS7Tg3GOLsW
203Please respect copyright.PENANAtEQcuju247
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAwZi0Qg5lks
203Please respect copyright.PENANAxzdUml9yrk
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAc1iwUzVl8V
203Please respect copyright.PENANAfZkGlTwGCl
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."203Please respect copyright.PENANAD7bvauSBA7
203Please respect copyright.PENANA7AxIbLpq8y
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."203Please respect copyright.PENANAin4BQgfD27
203Please respect copyright.PENANAUrtLcYyehm
"Meeting here?" I asked her.203Please respect copyright.PENANAYE99hQh9Bx
203Please respect copyright.PENANADktKzSfO9N
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.203Please respect copyright.PENANAGKhbYUok4Z
203Please respect copyright.PENANAY22IAC7lPY
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANADc05v8m3UQ
203Please respect copyright.PENANA7Jox4tbfVB
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."203Please respect copyright.PENANAvsLJqjpwMY
203Please respect copyright.PENANAVqBhx684B0
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."203Please respect copyright.PENANAzLAOgzyegw
203Please respect copyright.PENANApMtTCxkSAQ
"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."203Please respect copyright.PENANAKFjzbrIHMi
203Please respect copyright.PENANA4l7zwo73Ww
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAwVhG4OB7p8
203Please respect copyright.PENANAZpagxGGKlK
There was just too much I didn't know yet.203Please respect copyright.PENANA6nfs2XSUKe
203Please respect copyright.PENANAKa2n794jPB
"May! There you are."203Please respect copyright.PENANAT8XlvviDSl
203Please respect copyright.PENANAXor6ETb1Fj
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAfV2bmEr8wx
203Please respect copyright.PENANApVLeFUbMiT
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAySLgvmVXW6
203Please respect copyright.PENANA5VsD5n1hIp
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.203Please respect copyright.PENANASE16YfaHTZ
203Please respect copyright.PENANA8OOOHV2Q3s
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."203Please respect copyright.PENANAhTGhT6HdXX
203Please respect copyright.PENANAXJb6fmrpRS
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."203Please respect copyright.PENANAS5ZGKAZ5xa
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJUQBBwrstB
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.203Please respect copyright.PENANASeUx8R9Du6
203Please respect copyright.PENANAyMYP2psscF
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.203Please respect copyright.PENANA7nU10lGIhD
203Please respect copyright.PENANASDPd80S3EH
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.203Please respect copyright.PENANAu6qoWpgWNC
203Please respect copyright.PENANAu3Pq1pWKQK
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."203Please respect copyright.PENANAmoqFboMAr0
203Please respect copyright.PENANARElA1v1Jzq
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."203Please respect copyright.PENANAGbl4lyqqJb
203Please respect copyright.PENANANiETwUvQuG
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."203Please respect copyright.PENANAQzfyLMX5yj
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJf9rPp3hQu
"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."203Please respect copyright.PENANAUzIzYXSA8p
203Please respect copyright.PENANAcUGveSmre9
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."203Please respect copyright.PENANAwkWeY5VPI4
203Please respect copyright.PENANAJBgU0GkMGk
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"203Please respect copyright.PENANA6UWxEInssr
203Please respect copyright.PENANAwcLVnreZAx
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAuiC846oX7z
203Please respect copyright.PENANAsjAvq460LB
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."203Please respect copyright.PENANAzfgysXeoEs
203Please respect copyright.PENANAFG6UJ4pX95
"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?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAVToLgKALLi
203Please respect copyright.PENANAqKLNjePDxr
"Sure!" I said brightly.203Please respect copyright.PENANAnzHT91nuNI
203Please respect copyright.PENANAZaUvPHqKEH
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAamqSXnIUUh
203Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rg7dl8ZQ6
_203Please respect copyright.PENANARfYTGRj4P6
203Please respect copyright.PENANAtsg64jZz9q
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"203Please respect copyright.PENANAcTOUzM6pLf
203Please respect copyright.PENANADkVLw6IuRh
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAvKVULaNMwp
203Please respect copyright.PENANANNWyvOyhA7
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.203Please respect copyright.PENANAtVixwvnmiN
203Please respect copyright.PENANAAEnMyTHbLq
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"203Please respect copyright.PENANAC5TEMePoM9
203Please respect copyright.PENANAEV84w5f4HH
Thank god! Pizza! 203Please respect copyright.PENANA5N4iP1McnC
203Please respect copyright.PENANA9adl2CPQB7
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.203Please respect copyright.PENANAhCKWLlnH9F
203Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qy3kM0yc8
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.203Please respect copyright.PENANA3PwmosbF8N
203Please respect copyright.PENANAgKbJtSF9MW
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANA8NfiYguoBI
203Please respect copyright.PENANAABruV43GUv
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.203Please respect copyright.PENANAIZGJizr6Bx
203Please respect copyright.PENANAL7gE7Bblww
"You'll get used to it."203Please respect copyright.PENANAMdtrQLVMrw
203Please respect copyright.PENANAGAMTokUNrV
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"203Please respect copyright.PENANA8c2Ho142F6
203Please respect copyright.PENANAHTDrWkzVKQ
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."203Please respect copyright.PENANAS7Kq4n81ik
203Please respect copyright.PENANAUlbKTCOv6t
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 203Please respect copyright.PENANAba3zZpH8Bs
203Please respect copyright.PENANAG3pbun6Wc1
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."203Please respect copyright.PENANAJ34rhxqbdv
203Please respect copyright.PENANAn8KsdgJ71t
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAxktOVkhw6w
203Please respect copyright.PENANABULCiZ0m01
"Mother?" I pushed.203Please respect copyright.PENANANBAps1QW5G
203Please respect copyright.PENANAMmc52QOnUI
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."203Please respect copyright.PENANAeF39dSP3bY
203Please respect copyright.PENANAqIIbGpLfl0
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAipNaS9wsYn
203Please respect copyright.PENANAPIJnOPadfr
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAglD2L8xwm2
203Please respect copyright.PENANApOOL1Hrodd
"May?" I said, confused.203Please respect copyright.PENANAOVKM4vibLd
203Please respect copyright.PENANANNBkJKWq9M
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANA9bNuHP63GR
203Please respect copyright.PENANAIlWBIfLgsr
"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.203Please respect copyright.PENANA2Inaj9Fpmu
203Please respect copyright.PENANAGVemKjRczq
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."203Please respect copyright.PENANANgGacqjNAy
203Please respect copyright.PENANAqoriL3m1Ol
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAUuLJ4SivG6
203Please respect copyright.PENANAkAXitkQFWe
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAbxkdK5u6XC
203Please respect copyright.PENANAnq48mhIoFr
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.203Please respect copyright.PENANAhsSSWGV3Rh
203Please respect copyright.PENANArLynKo6ngb
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.203Please respect copyright.PENANAK5OTpRudAL
203Please respect copyright.PENANA0fMMTxWjEn
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.203Please respect copyright.PENANANdt4VehofW
203Please respect copyright.PENANAsUrGIKOJwq
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.203Please respect copyright.PENANAczvtS6ytSA
203Please respect copyright.PENANAiS02aHon0N
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.203Please respect copyright.PENANAoc7RrodVOu
203Please respect copyright.PENANARWj0q5672p
"Kalon Wolfe."203Please respect copyright.PENANAVUvJ8IrdaQ
203Please respect copyright.PENANA77BhqYhYHx
203Please respect copyright.PENANAstBJ7S0yvI
