"How do you like your eggs?"346Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z0Y9fQPTX
346Please respect copyright.PENANANyh52SgDl4
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."346Please respect copyright.PENANAoljNsny6ih
346Please respect copyright.PENANAPpHPvAS8ve
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAPdivxTfl0L
346Please respect copyright.PENANA0YEdq3Mc31
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."346Please respect copyright.PENANACmnIYV8EYb
346Please respect copyright.PENANAJVRwIKmz2y
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAMol9fVQUxk
346Please respect copyright.PENANA1CKWPp9w4I
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."346Please respect copyright.PENANAR0uFzpxtgX
346Please respect copyright.PENANAh3Z85nHHOO
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.346Please respect copyright.PENANAzueH8wOI12
346Please respect copyright.PENANAHv9deQrzik
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.346Please respect copyright.PENANAUx7tDqrha0
346Please respect copyright.PENANA4b3arfeo3N
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."346Please respect copyright.PENANASVQ3v1ijOB
346Please respect copyright.PENANActFighRpph
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANA3cVIHGEuo2
346Please respect copyright.PENANAn6k0cAN4Xd
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAtE9VuItiV3
346Please respect copyright.PENANAiqBtB2b8E1
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.346Please respect copyright.PENANApX0feFw3S2
346Please respect copyright.PENANANebuQ2zAnN
"Nothing to like."346Please respect copyright.PENANAIvPdYWl8gd
346Please respect copyright.PENANAFNmvCu8sZq
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."346Please respect copyright.PENANApwqSwVAXZA
346Please respect copyright.PENANANoOfbgWqCg
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.346Please respect copyright.PENANAMVxDSV5mI7
346Please respect copyright.PENANAe3UH5Vw9B2
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAmVQGbjewuT
346Please respect copyright.PENANATdiqURjHDE
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."346Please respect copyright.PENANARKt9VdwEM0
346Please respect copyright.PENANAT07e8iXRJq
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."346Please respect copyright.PENANAmDJWfQww6E
346Please respect copyright.PENANAHVHOPN5Qmj
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAV0WnAYtuO0
346Please respect copyright.PENANA2iIigJgGSR
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."346Please respect copyright.PENANAUR6zHo7ZmJ
346Please respect copyright.PENANAk9yBLhLUvp
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.346Please respect copyright.PENANA3IeEwKoUOA
346Please respect copyright.PENANAQQnX0h1nYM
"Thank you."346Please respect copyright.PENANApTRS3xpQE8
346Please respect copyright.PENANA0Sa5Q2CFEs
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAaM833nDfRq
346Please respect copyright.PENANAWazZsoN39X
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAKxhVfXOXTl
346Please respect copyright.PENANAn2HtmmSdsN
"Yeah, you know t-"346Please respect copyright.PENANAQutKRwNWI7
346Please respect copyright.PENANA7PsYbtwmTx
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."346Please respect copyright.PENANAYCKO6wgk64
346Please respect copyright.PENANAHF5VHAws7b
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAjVhD9AALgE
346Please respect copyright.PENANA1Fvjm5F4lz
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."346Please respect copyright.PENANAd5TzE5ASnB
346Please respect copyright.PENANASKxjqQGfZN
"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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAHqDacdDgPk
346Please respect copyright.PENANASEMR982X3W
"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."346Please respect copyright.PENANAqXwLqcBu93
346Please respect copyright.PENANA5KlbLuBBBK
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"346Please respect copyright.PENANAJ87gSl2sZl
346Please respect copyright.PENANAMXCkaAZc5f
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAeceJYuKzgb
346Please respect copyright.PENANA8f5w27f3ug
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.346Please respect copyright.PENANAO10ZOqKqA1
346Please respect copyright.PENANAcHSqHPn2hF
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAz5sr3Eg9qD
346Please respect copyright.PENANAlSpmhxfgFl
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."346Please respect copyright.PENANAM2nV725UpX
346Please respect copyright.PENANAYZslxv302A
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAzsldAyGJo8
346Please respect copyright.PENANAclNCT8rflI
"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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAyZTTQ2arWr
346Please respect copyright.PENANA8t1iBmt1f1
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.346Please respect copyright.PENANAbT4vgzoJFA
346Please respect copyright.PENANArCU5j7XfkR
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."346Please respect copyright.PENANA973xa6FuxO
346Please respect copyright.PENANAeK0x97iwFO
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 346Please respect copyright.PENANATyMS6ZakZx
346Please respect copyright.PENANAGJPY8UWfA5
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAztMjM7QmUn
346Please respect copyright.PENANAI4cWFolUTn
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."346Please respect copyright.PENANAng8uYradoG
346Please respect copyright.PENANA7zd6TUF6Q5
"You knew him?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAAdh3u6uFI5
346Please respect copyright.PENANAreLHcLpO1g
"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."346Please respect copyright.PENANAwmTqvIda8z
346Please respect copyright.PENANA2snP0g7Af9
I smiled, "You too!"346Please respect copyright.PENANAVz53z2xGs3
346Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6GtgfilTQ
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAeky0BYlB8C
346Please respect copyright.PENANAjHLkPnGSq0
"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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAHh6MWBzZME
346Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ1YUq71H1
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."346Please respect copyright.PENANAPYB9BIeQnH
346Please respect copyright.PENANAsyZnYH4K3N
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."346Please respect copyright.PENANAQwMcQ1mMFq
346Please respect copyright.PENANAYqPvznv8xD
"Meeting here?" I asked her.346Please respect copyright.PENANAFTQFUaCUhG
346Please respect copyright.PENANAvHM1K2Crel
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.346Please respect copyright.PENANASI9kthshUI
346Please respect copyright.PENANA87zFREWx4K
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAy2CkIbJzEz
346Please respect copyright.PENANAJwkm2hG3dB
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."346Please respect copyright.PENANAczoodMcXo7
346Please respect copyright.PENANAT1lCTSpA3B
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."346Please respect copyright.PENANAukiB7EmaQg
346Please respect copyright.PENANAjTuGc3VVd4
"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."346Please respect copyright.PENANAHSFGAsD8if
346Please respect copyright.PENANANXwXJZkee0
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAnElRVoFnIH
346Please respect copyright.PENANAtN6Bfd5eu5
There was just too much I didn't know yet.346Please respect copyright.PENANAD3G61fpJSJ
346Please respect copyright.PENANATC9CQ6s3ZY
"May! There you are."346Please respect copyright.PENANAwfNqYTZ4L0
346Please respect copyright.PENANA6UG0vM76UK
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAg45RSmWLOa
346Please respect copyright.PENANAJ12IvXGw6d
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAoPlkHc620e
346Please respect copyright.PENANA3FEzcg6kC0
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.346Please respect copyright.PENANARiSLSAQCJ3
346Please respect copyright.PENANAIleP3PLe9y
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."346Please respect copyright.PENANA178VqN1mv4
346Please respect copyright.PENANAVtEXn1KbHZ
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."346Please respect copyright.PENANAvGgwEDu4Dt
346Please respect copyright.PENANA7NBMSPis2u
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.346Please respect copyright.PENANAQLbSGoN7FZ
346Please respect copyright.PENANAXMgh8mVl6d
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.346Please respect copyright.PENANAxffYAftVuL
346Please respect copyright.PENANAX6I74a8v5T
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.346Please respect copyright.PENANAkPmHuFnCy6
346Please respect copyright.PENANALwSRoCZi7A
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."346Please respect copyright.PENANANpH8rEuMav
346Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7DkHskT71
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."346Please respect copyright.PENANAgY6nOYX2hM
346Please respect copyright.PENANA2571ATKfzs
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."346Please respect copyright.PENANA1iWLkEFP3P
346Please respect copyright.PENANAL9dwGTwinQ
"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."346Please respect copyright.PENANAjzQvK3JeoD
346Please respect copyright.PENANAfr3OfREtaD
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."346Please respect copyright.PENANAIC0YNSMiPg
346Please respect copyright.PENANAfR3JD7jhmA
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"346Please respect copyright.PENANAwKpBDhc3wF
346Please respect copyright.PENANAb9RTjnhw0B
"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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAVEACTxpmGR
346Please respect copyright.PENANA1Buophmhzt
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."346Please respect copyright.PENANAzHEcoE4q63
346Please respect copyright.PENANAfOvkBqu6xW
"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?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAFlxyB2MbrT
346Please respect copyright.PENANAnivfPjt33c
"Sure!" I said brightly.346Please respect copyright.PENANA8zQ8YUK8Oy
346Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sd2deWv8U
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAFDeRDUNslu
346Please respect copyright.PENANAqiTpXtHNua
_346Please respect copyright.PENANAAaJ5GAfyb5
346Please respect copyright.PENANA36sLjK3wC9
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"346Please respect copyright.PENANA46W3N6aMeL
346Please respect copyright.PENANApOn0V3RDXA
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANA3zWvma76vd
346Please respect copyright.PENANAUBC9jqwDP9
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.346Please respect copyright.PENANAXHLbnJ6EkT
346Please respect copyright.PENANA3cblKDLSE4
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAae36s3wQ2p
346Please respect copyright.PENANAD4Cby0WrJF
Thank god! Pizza! 346Please respect copyright.PENANAIbYZe2iIO2
346Please respect copyright.PENANABFnICASUWX
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.346Please respect copyright.PENANA6fAZMjgaK9
346Please respect copyright.PENANANkZ8MnaWgX
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.346Please respect copyright.PENANAAXcmSbVjtw
346Please respect copyright.PENANA8weggcT5Ri
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAkpkDQ3euKq
346Please respect copyright.PENANA2zXBcqMLA6
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.346Please respect copyright.PENANAW11Cn9DXNi
346Please respect copyright.PENANAMvzc5PjG7t
"You'll get used to it."346Please respect copyright.PENANALF9JDk1jyH
346Please respect copyright.PENANAH2Vqn5srvO
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAwHnn5IVMra
346Please respect copyright.PENANAZZyLKTprzd
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."346Please respect copyright.PENANA4AFZYCOEYa
346Please respect copyright.PENANAYFCVIAe4rv
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 346Please respect copyright.PENANA0xWAHw6WuC
346Please respect copyright.PENANAXATfYESIWR
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."346Please respect copyright.PENANA6662WLU4IY
346Please respect copyright.PENANAV1mEs5xst0
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 346Please respect copyright.PENANACkZC34NPuO
346Please respect copyright.PENANAIchpq4Nfk1
"Mother?" I pushed.346Please respect copyright.PENANATimSWTmW6N
346Please respect copyright.PENANAfbJasCdjAM
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."346Please respect copyright.PENANAcinHKD6az1
346Please respect copyright.PENANAjUFdzGnFHe
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAV4Zl3GTwIz
346Please respect copyright.PENANAWpNL5JrABS
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAQBj7XuMAM1
346Please respect copyright.PENANA1H9eFg0rfp
"May?" I said, confused.346Please respect copyright.PENANAO9UPb3kvDR
346Please respect copyright.PENANAAKY4zD0K5D
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAJXv6HkFBgU
346Please respect copyright.PENANA5KZTh31FMP
"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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAMLQpbLYGZY
346Please respect copyright.PENANALNtsNRK91i
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."346Please respect copyright.PENANAqn9LAOMUPl
346Please respect copyright.PENANAi8D4b5F7Ev
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAOnHXlVod40
346Please respect copyright.PENANAymNcFFb5pB
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAy5BpElaqXU
346Please respect copyright.PENANAwYyKhQx80n
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANABBetQrCidX
346Please respect copyright.PENANAx0pH9ZYHWo
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.346Please respect copyright.PENANArJt5eH8u1Q
346Please respect copyright.PENANAwtB7fGK9TJ
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.346Please respect copyright.PENANAaalGNvtDsF
346Please respect copyright.PENANAbce9WThYm5
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.346Please respect copyright.PENANAh2RfKxMz72
346Please respect copyright.PENANAhbFM1FrBOJ
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.346Please respect copyright.PENANAg9bUpmhrKJ
346Please respect copyright.PENANACXMLw6Hbku
"Kalon Wolfe."346Please respect copyright.PENANAKFZXKll7JS
346Please respect copyright.PENANAUziv8cqV07
346Please respect copyright.PENANAsDTMxgHPAr
