"How do you like your eggs?"209Please respect copyright.PENANA6JPav47Wmi
209Please respect copyright.PENANAqjls64w69B
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."209Please respect copyright.PENANAJcEIH0dzlB
209Please respect copyright.PENANAxes3WLKRgh
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAMFlmMAlvvd
209Please respect copyright.PENANAcqncBJbACT
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."209Please respect copyright.PENANAJP6BKVkJFe
209Please respect copyright.PENANAemDkAcSAHU
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAnDj4JAZGg6
209Please respect copyright.PENANAWaEiF4tey5
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."209Please respect copyright.PENANADGVBipYhsV
209Please respect copyright.PENANA6B2Op1E8Ys
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.209Please respect copyright.PENANAvV3yRfgJJr
209Please respect copyright.PENANAKtPpyh36Y4
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.209Please respect copyright.PENANAJoMd8ZqJku
209Please respect copyright.PENANAVcAD4C88tp
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."209Please respect copyright.PENANAx09J4JZggX
209Please respect copyright.PENANAPK0Qi7dXjZ
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAQS0CadSu6v
209Please respect copyright.PENANAajMJYgfaSo
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAjn62vj40OR
209Please respect copyright.PENANAFmKpAA6WIv
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.209Please respect copyright.PENANAHPJjBpd4FZ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAXwlCwadbQP
"Nothing to like."209Please respect copyright.PENANAjinAW4TXxb
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzkUzHgM2ej
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."209Please respect copyright.PENANAi4VbCjP7r0
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzKll0O43jv
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.209Please respect copyright.PENANAZpePAQc0C5
209Please respect copyright.PENANAImZ7Ucu8r8
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"209Please respect copyright.PENANANsKAgJz8qs
209Please respect copyright.PENANAAOq9bRSlCt
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."209Please respect copyright.PENANA0HKCVptrcM
209Please respect copyright.PENANA19yj2Rd5qW
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."209Please respect copyright.PENANA7FXOrXGvAK
209Please respect copyright.PENANAv7GjF7AStx
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"209Please respect copyright.PENANACVKUDUfc9h
209Please respect copyright.PENANAXUAogHOdqi
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."209Please respect copyright.PENANAyv5d5AGGrT
209Please respect copyright.PENANARuL86cmVUu
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.209Please respect copyright.PENANAWRKZnk1f10
209Please respect copyright.PENANAKM66oYFifQ
"Thank you."209Please respect copyright.PENANAq2IU3CserN
209Please respect copyright.PENANAlQejukAMHQ
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAg2RLx1SEi7
209Please respect copyright.PENANAeFDWlINbc7
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"209Please respect copyright.PENANA1pkUw3hXNB
209Please respect copyright.PENANAMsAXoITuVW
"Yeah, you know t-"209Please respect copyright.PENANAjyPfmneacc
209Please respect copyright.PENANAwaxgCQgtsb
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."209Please respect copyright.PENANAilR2PEEADd
209Please respect copyright.PENANAb3fBaqf3CR
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAkTYrcFgnmo
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQL49KpPCQM
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."209Please respect copyright.PENANAq0laqCLBfZ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAUuAjmijDWi
"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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAam2XwmJTIQ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAuySQwu3c2D
"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."209Please respect copyright.PENANAG0jp36FAhd
209Please respect copyright.PENANAYHvvs8UIYi
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"209Please respect copyright.PENANANhaI8PSppI
209Please respect copyright.PENANAcJbaQTLKqA
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAcsKa0wSpom
209Please respect copyright.PENANANbYz0yHS0R
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.209Please respect copyright.PENANAKUTDCROU7P
209Please respect copyright.PENANAliCaej04vg
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAev0t854PbR
209Please respect copyright.PENANAyXMT8AXxgG
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."209Please respect copyright.PENANA7m5U62CUIB
209Please respect copyright.PENANAZkOrGUEAIu
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAyuxwxDQZgO
209Please respect copyright.PENANAvKNxzvVJJ2
"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.209Please respect copyright.PENANA6F0fuUjd3E
209Please respect copyright.PENANAc400QEFf4d
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.209Please respect copyright.PENANAIx5G2L4jMY
209Please respect copyright.PENANAxXmjV9E5d9
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."209Please respect copyright.PENANAht4aN1SfWH
209Please respect copyright.PENANA74PRpncZ1l
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 209Please respect copyright.PENANAh4wXUyk5xe
209Please respect copyright.PENANAfLDaJOhruf
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANA7EztWJHFiz
209Please respect copyright.PENANA9W1DTg5UjB
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."209Please respect copyright.PENANAqsPsFsKOFc
209Please respect copyright.PENANAyAu2QeqQjL
"You knew him?"209Please respect copyright.PENANA18qNXvxTZQ
209Please respect copyright.PENANATxlovTBvqB
"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."209Please respect copyright.PENANAOTj1JrpuCN
209Please respect copyright.PENANASBICJHFBfk
I smiled, "You too!"209Please respect copyright.PENANAEPmxY8AZEk
209Please respect copyright.PENANA1XnFfHDShc
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAhkFEC1xJqz
209Please respect copyright.PENANAXsPjKqrkq8
"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.209Please respect copyright.PENANA5Um5qVvyGh
209Please respect copyright.PENANA76khSwwJEr
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."209Please respect copyright.PENANAj3rgFIvyYx
209Please respect copyright.PENANAb3gpX9GjdL
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."209Please respect copyright.PENANAIFgbtwcrIb
209Please respect copyright.PENANAqo76afrmw4
"Meeting here?" I asked her.209Please respect copyright.PENANATXLXBf0qKZ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAYZZ1VX11fW
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.209Please respect copyright.PENANA6KDxF0vgQm
209Please respect copyright.PENANAHdcK3SGNHd
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAjXd3BBxe4i
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQNPSDrjP12
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."209Please respect copyright.PENANAgagp0BtEUl
209Please respect copyright.PENANAHCOnZDceYG
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."209Please respect copyright.PENANAgJLzpK1M9f
209Please respect copyright.PENANAEUa6lZzf7f
"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."209Please respect copyright.PENANAGPc5wpDll3
209Please respect copyright.PENANA8ohqrDocQo
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAYWpZOAWq3c
209Please respect copyright.PENANAO8wzEfIkIf
There was just too much I didn't know yet.209Please respect copyright.PENANAGlfucpeTY4
209Please respect copyright.PENANAe7tiKOzwPX
"May! There you are."209Please respect copyright.PENANAh9P9MeN9g6
209Please respect copyright.PENANAaMAzfwd1oJ
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAjhzko6QHoo
209Please respect copyright.PENANA13Ell7J0tZ
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANA1jxvwzLmOb
209Please respect copyright.PENANA9KJB9ltxWi
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.209Please respect copyright.PENANAOfvfBcfVFl
209Please respect copyright.PENANANt4PlY3wnY
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."209Please respect copyright.PENANAo0xHuwDWmj
209Please respect copyright.PENANAkPgEDKjEwF
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."209Please respect copyright.PENANAYcwfATLt38
209Please respect copyright.PENANAs3JEZQFoVw
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.209Please respect copyright.PENANAlDJkXRRCpM
209Please respect copyright.PENANA5l6Owu3gOU
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.209Please respect copyright.PENANAYOcPrLoy4V
209Please respect copyright.PENANAWYSnX0PSOt
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.209Please respect copyright.PENANAFGZjHyfCqO
209Please respect copyright.PENANAKzcJsCKJaO
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."209Please respect copyright.PENANAqoeb5bJ1jO
209Please respect copyright.PENANAKu7UFBNwHI
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."209Please respect copyright.PENANA9OCP7TAHdd
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQwxDgD4spK
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."209Please respect copyright.PENANAGhdjGRhLVA
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQwjnDjbDnm
"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."209Please respect copyright.PENANAcHtJAo7mUp
209Please respect copyright.PENANASu6rM98xde
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."209Please respect copyright.PENANA5IucLkJasP
209Please respect copyright.PENANA4HM909O1vB
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"209Please respect copyright.PENANAiPjOpQRxZ6
209Please respect copyright.PENANAzZwoQ8W8mg
"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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAfCsZpPgLwa
209Please respect copyright.PENANADPcNAmpNI8
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."209Please respect copyright.PENANAvHuQUCZ04g
209Please respect copyright.PENANAYSclT5N8Lm
"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?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAnFmetI9keE
209Please respect copyright.PENANATDNv7rE1H2
"Sure!" I said brightly.209Please respect copyright.PENANAMdgzuIMV1b
209Please respect copyright.PENANAlSPEaldnfX
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANANvis3KN3xk
209Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ6y6M3Yio
_209Please respect copyright.PENANALsjcJnzoGL
209Please respect copyright.PENANA61WWY0V26h
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"209Please respect copyright.PENANAC7l6uCMKpT
209Please respect copyright.PENANADmrfjHRW1J
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANASbcz79pmHA
209Please respect copyright.PENANAUFbliNiTQc
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.209Please respect copyright.PENANA0Syq3zNFLG
209Please respect copyright.PENANAvIIvf09aIG
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAoyYo68j4V2
209Please respect copyright.PENANAUt0WPrU2yU
Thank god! Pizza! 209Please respect copyright.PENANAsdxaK2aJsM
209Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5lctrM0pl
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.209Please respect copyright.PENANAqpeLyyf16o
209Please respect copyright.PENANAlCaZTJjcmC
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.209Please respect copyright.PENANADruIVz5nBi
209Please respect copyright.PENANA5ay5GwczII
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAWANLE9M5Uw
209Please respect copyright.PENANAxFWaHk9fST
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.209Please respect copyright.PENANAQMwmEI80e7
209Please respect copyright.PENANAG4TBL6qjtG
"You'll get used to it."209Please respect copyright.PENANAggvmrAjb5V
209Please respect copyright.PENANAn7T4whnMGu
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"209Please respect copyright.PENANAlyC3YTU8kZ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAQl24DqOaYn
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."209Please respect copyright.PENANAqfwvNLJtGZ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAaFoimXsOpx
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 209Please respect copyright.PENANAOweIlH8wqJ
209Please respect copyright.PENANAbD5kF1Aqn8
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."209Please respect copyright.PENANAK46HRphDEz
209Please respect copyright.PENANAVCkF51oi4U
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 209Please respect copyright.PENANADm5ht2VYwn
209Please respect copyright.PENANAmhuCBuNVJb
"Mother?" I pushed.209Please respect copyright.PENANAjCS5oGyvQ9
209Please respect copyright.PENANAyJv9fUgd14
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."209Please respect copyright.PENANAU8ZRPUF2mD
209Please respect copyright.PENANABMM4J9wXdV
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAuqX5cZ8xPD
209Please respect copyright.PENANAEEZ5Z1KKoC
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAWto9YszwkQ
209Please respect copyright.PENANALqXECBYyy3
"May?" I said, confused.209Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ml7S6GJam
209Please respect copyright.PENANAwWdZXii2DM
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAL5PQIPA1pa
209Please respect copyright.PENANAYTtDPrMGpz
"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.209Please respect copyright.PENANArd2kldQGSn
209Please respect copyright.PENANAIiNMolbfdU
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."209Please respect copyright.PENANAib2xWxx01x
209Please respect copyright.PENANAqahxlzu55z
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAzviTTnOjpa
209Please respect copyright.PENANAesDB26Rek9
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAoLkk5RGePY
209Please respect copyright.PENANASPwux7qBf9
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.209Please respect copyright.PENANAgyt8KtMWbT
209Please respect copyright.PENANAOL5nk5MKH3
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.209Please respect copyright.PENANA7WKkKSBfGr
209Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gxo8fKyRZ
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.209Please respect copyright.PENANApiMBteqmC6
209Please respect copyright.PENANAIaAa08I5df
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.209Please respect copyright.PENANAyD8KDVCdKL
209Please respect copyright.PENANAr5OqGvazrx
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.209Please respect copyright.PENANAyxxqca7hpM
209Please respect copyright.PENANAMVBIKKrcD7
"Kalon Wolfe."209Please respect copyright.PENANA4I6PXYlCKN
209Please respect copyright.PENANAWO7DEgEFdt
209Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y9F21XusB
