"How do you like your eggs?"347Please respect copyright.PENANARj7FwJO2zL
347Please respect copyright.PENANAGUah7HON8e
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."347Please respect copyright.PENANAyLOe6wxPVo
347Please respect copyright.PENANAnutArqL5QS
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAANt5mQDpjK
347Please respect copyright.PENANAu2j8jBFtMz
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."347Please respect copyright.PENANAXSy1JfZtWP
347Please respect copyright.PENANAsqYOqcHUUR
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"347Please respect copyright.PENANAV8zG49GIVZ
347Please respect copyright.PENANA60OS18XKYd
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."347Please respect copyright.PENANADbgJKvG6Pr
347Please respect copyright.PENANAAAkb363Xkr
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.347Please respect copyright.PENANAAvGigftZqT
347Please respect copyright.PENANAqh2vYhq7od
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.347Please respect copyright.PENANA3oMpcFtbje
347Please respect copyright.PENANA0rJVJ3nwDo
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."347Please respect copyright.PENANAtK5waSoOJQ
347Please respect copyright.PENANAvM67ruzfK4
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAcYvK55s5BE
347Please respect copyright.PENANA62mhony0G4
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAhV1zZ0sSXH
347Please respect copyright.PENANANlgTb91L1J
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.347Please respect copyright.PENANA94hPkBd5r7
347Please respect copyright.PENANARBbJfd8rF7
"Nothing to like."347Please respect copyright.PENANANxLtT0EfTY
347Please respect copyright.PENANAV8hO5J9DOA
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."347Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y5H98FBg0
347Please respect copyright.PENANAHoze3UNVKs
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.347Please respect copyright.PENANA1GQadn0yA1
347Please respect copyright.PENANAxGrZuuXhn1
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"347Please respect copyright.PENANAP71l2qse7g
347Please respect copyright.PENANA3bSFUf2a17
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."347Please respect copyright.PENANAdTd7gt2GvX
347Please respect copyright.PENANAfX8I5CmoSp
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."347Please respect copyright.PENANAtiVbiWT7yZ
347Please respect copyright.PENANAvpv8NKp5IV
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"347Please respect copyright.PENANAHgRWUK8QxY
347Please respect copyright.PENANAq89AmYU4F0
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."347Please respect copyright.PENANANDyZwo3JiH
347Please respect copyright.PENANAOT51xP422F
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.347Please respect copyright.PENANAPR0LqT0w6W
347Please respect copyright.PENANAgEProW7ouC
"Thank you."347Please respect copyright.PENANARr7VbaIHU1
347Please respect copyright.PENANASdTokMqx3Q
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"347Please respect copyright.PENANATFb8COdYV8
347Please respect copyright.PENANAhU3ae2vvfw
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"347Please respect copyright.PENANACcWbUTNO5t
347Please respect copyright.PENANAwxFkpdtHqW
"Yeah, you know t-"347Please respect copyright.PENANAsTBW9T2xeN
347Please respect copyright.PENANAWFUsiiDSFH
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."347Please respect copyright.PENANA8zUwwTcj1n
347Please respect copyright.PENANA3NAEHgGC6m
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"347Please respect copyright.PENANAnTjb2Bx23Y
347Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZdfxwVZ74
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."347Please respect copyright.PENANA6JiZK0Vemf
347Please respect copyright.PENANAR1f0CgokZZ
"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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAHfilBDsqpW
347Please respect copyright.PENANAWHd4A0sbUT
"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."347Please respect copyright.PENANArSwZY6OlJt
347Please respect copyright.PENANAPX6VZBtcwQ
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"347Please respect copyright.PENANA1LecJFgNzp
347Please respect copyright.PENANAw49yXTc3LG
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"347Please respect copyright.PENANAFmqJjaAqxN
347Please respect copyright.PENANAO475VekcFq
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.347Please respect copyright.PENANAzbEOOcXkHc
347Please respect copyright.PENANAC2xlG2l6uP
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAAiZpROp6AU
347Please respect copyright.PENANAOYoH7prsGd
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."347Please respect copyright.PENANAvXI0NbvULh
347Please respect copyright.PENANASHrctb9Mzt
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"347Please respect copyright.PENANA10GoCmZc9a
347Please respect copyright.PENANAc2C7Abui46
"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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAMQUYsu8HBE
347Please respect copyright.PENANAkNcliKn0n8
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.347Please respect copyright.PENANA1fWQwpmoQV
347Please respect copyright.PENANAdtTKabCFls
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."347Please respect copyright.PENANAL1V6JGecDv
347Please respect copyright.PENANA6sRU1364G0
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 347Please respect copyright.PENANAzxGl2uacm5
347Please respect copyright.PENANA2hwfGbq999
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAP2Cm6vb89D
347Please respect copyright.PENANAdU5MJz9Ym2
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."347Please respect copyright.PENANA7MJxREby8r
347Please respect copyright.PENANATlDYrKpbh5
"You knew him?"347Please respect copyright.PENANANYP5IoQlZA
347Please respect copyright.PENANArmROPYnklN
"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."347Please respect copyright.PENANAuWPAxCHUIp
347Please respect copyright.PENANAgloniqlLCW
I smiled, "You too!"347Please respect copyright.PENANAJo2000UCWq
347Please respect copyright.PENANAlPwjR9STnk
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAQkvSQKzA1t
347Please respect copyright.PENANAwxjOzlqZB8
"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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAOHN2uvmCWt
347Please respect copyright.PENANAFsl8WYtWaM
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."347Please respect copyright.PENANAubhg3EyHEZ
347Please respect copyright.PENANAHrA3rRixdq
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."347Please respect copyright.PENANAVDAUVS5NxI
347Please respect copyright.PENANAy8Q8yJIiYy
"Meeting here?" I asked her.347Please respect copyright.PENANAE5y3wkXVkC
347Please respect copyright.PENANAoGbjVN2MeE
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.347Please respect copyright.PENANAqMMvNkHXwK
347Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZnAte83iJ
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANA4qOsLNyc76
347Please respect copyright.PENANAIcS42dSaOx
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."347Please respect copyright.PENANAnGnR9hswcu
347Please respect copyright.PENANADOgj8WrXwC
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."347Please respect copyright.PENANAy8FyUNXqiU
347Please respect copyright.PENANAfqS4TX3OZi
"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."347Please respect copyright.PENANAk3cCuBtmZw
347Please respect copyright.PENANAo6vzVlTyMA
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAtMSlIEAmIX
347Please respect copyright.PENANAxIu0xTvGtK
There was just too much I didn't know yet.347Please respect copyright.PENANAOwyOoajRtM
347Please respect copyright.PENANAH8sHsgFL85
"May! There you are."347Please respect copyright.PENANAYmbsNa8694
347Please respect copyright.PENANArafkKhPuAQ
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANA9uCOd8Nxa3
347Please respect copyright.PENANAINVfWfrvw1
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tyh2ogpyn
347Please respect copyright.PENANALnS3rBe5vC
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.347Please respect copyright.PENANAH9p5ojUpAN
347Please respect copyright.PENANAjfht7bD1nt
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."347Please respect copyright.PENANAMh9yDhv8uI
347Please respect copyright.PENANAAgFblMiCld
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."347Please respect copyright.PENANAOrLucDySPg
347Please respect copyright.PENANAaKkraeyO4O
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.347Please respect copyright.PENANAnL4lt0rYku
347Please respect copyright.PENANAODwddReyVa
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.347Please respect copyright.PENANAFAZCZYfxfl
347Please respect copyright.PENANAHBk5lVx6nb
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.347Please respect copyright.PENANA9KVf89wrw7
347Please respect copyright.PENANAoiakiEbwyr
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."347Please respect copyright.PENANAhcZfAHZXME
347Please respect copyright.PENANATxq5NfLsJJ
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."347Please respect copyright.PENANAkdPOGpj7fq
347Please respect copyright.PENANANkK1J3BYOP
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."347Please respect copyright.PENANAAqCtQW8fwy
347Please respect copyright.PENANA1BTzVA1SXT
"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."347Please respect copyright.PENANAhu7UJIYht7
347Please respect copyright.PENANAx45OYLjeTQ
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."347Please respect copyright.PENANAPwL19Hp51H
347Please respect copyright.PENANAw5ebLUem3k
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"347Please respect copyright.PENANAA71Gx4ejpU
347Please respect copyright.PENANAXaXdNVopst
"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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAOMlwn9JszT
347Please respect copyright.PENANAlJncougsR5
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."347Please respect copyright.PENANAdUmFNH7QPW
347Please respect copyright.PENANApnUElfpcda
"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?"347Please respect copyright.PENANA3osulZtrUk
347Please respect copyright.PENANA5KfvgzGoC4
"Sure!" I said brightly.347Please respect copyright.PENANApe4X8Su4Hy
347Please respect copyright.PENANABVqXY5QJt5
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAl0ouVds3EW
347Please respect copyright.PENANAGtGXpruVik
_347Please respect copyright.PENANAHkACfEnMJn
347Please respect copyright.PENANAppf2HknbFv
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"347Please respect copyright.PENANA8KnayAa72g
347Please respect copyright.PENANAodqmxwFHHt
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAzZYrDLII7P
347Please respect copyright.PENANAZfocPHN580
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.347Please respect copyright.PENANAst3HXfL0Qj
347Please respect copyright.PENANANp64FSZ2RK
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"347Please respect copyright.PENANAJxWDPYmrqN
347Please respect copyright.PENANAGMZYh9Mwog
Thank god! Pizza! 347Please respect copyright.PENANAw0A2BFAC5h
347Please respect copyright.PENANAbnKU5CMWyx
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.347Please respect copyright.PENANAUoqIIk09YT
347Please respect copyright.PENANAqVRCpQUons
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.347Please respect copyright.PENANAo1HKHYOWrE
347Please respect copyright.PENANAgbAOw8VTbd
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANANxqamYONra
347Please respect copyright.PENANAsDSR3oEzpi
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.347Please respect copyright.PENANAiyaAga2qjF
347Please respect copyright.PENANAB21N6zzaTv
"You'll get used to it."347Please respect copyright.PENANAyORT4Tmdfb
347Please respect copyright.PENANAAbIoaQ7kLi
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"347Please respect copyright.PENANAa5Q21ehV3Y
347Please respect copyright.PENANAoO2sLzStQc
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."347Please respect copyright.PENANAdqSS2d9TTo
347Please respect copyright.PENANAtRFmbo7bpR
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 347Please respect copyright.PENANADCvYDiTS92
347Please respect copyright.PENANABPrakHswvR
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."347Please respect copyright.PENANA78GT3XAs5b
347Please respect copyright.PENANAPz1AsGS5al
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 347Please respect copyright.PENANAWPXJzYx3QD
347Please respect copyright.PENANArf0WVFT7qP
"Mother?" I pushed.347Please respect copyright.PENANANj2z9a8Gof
347Please respect copyright.PENANA9ymfbeuAxl
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."347Please respect copyright.PENANARHxi3nBoXa
347Please respect copyright.PENANArEISDjfBhc
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAPqV1SYN0th
347Please respect copyright.PENANAK68Tl60aun
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAdEoqMUOW6a
347Please respect copyright.PENANAmuv8N6ZlAw
"May?" I said, confused.347Please respect copyright.PENANAM2cu2bG9W6
347Please respect copyright.PENANAAHLSINHVvP
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANALCZfHy0TDj
347Please respect copyright.PENANA2NP5bVqdaM
"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.347Please respect copyright.PENANA9Qq3gArDb0
347Please respect copyright.PENANAIIApeHD6W7
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."347Please respect copyright.PENANAGK1CXBNHX7
347Please respect copyright.PENANANhBWgIbt2J
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ls4pfncyd
347Please respect copyright.PENANA38dtDPsZbX
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANA4TJXLIzDSW
347Please respect copyright.PENANAsZulHsLgzQ
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.347Please respect copyright.PENANAH3xKqpOx70
347Please respect copyright.PENANAfLaC6LXEGA
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.347Please respect copyright.PENANAOby42vOdbJ
347Please respect copyright.PENANAQrspQKJWop
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.347Please respect copyright.PENANAgsVqHwzzLA
347Please respect copyright.PENANArjHWjC4hbO
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.347Please respect copyright.PENANAYke3Dx7iBn
347Please respect copyright.PENANA8o6twhH87W
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.347Please respect copyright.PENANA4MTllbJubM
347Please respect copyright.PENANA7DIxUx9QLv
"Kalon Wolfe."347Please respect copyright.PENANArcmga2yiC6
347Please respect copyright.PENANAcLsACZdBuu
347Please respect copyright.PENANAwm9tmg5oJh
