"How do you like your eggs?"213Please respect copyright.PENANAd7WrT5aaeO
213Please respect copyright.PENANALXO1gKtqww
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."213Please respect copyright.PENANAmSRcxIXauZ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAVzE4hwar5d
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAgdDmzTCh26
213Please respect copyright.PENANAcwHxeclxX6
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."213Please respect copyright.PENANAXj10aVGjCh
213Please respect copyright.PENANAYT5eTg7kBV
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"213Please respect copyright.PENANAQgcNkHdSmc
213Please respect copyright.PENANAcHclEJjWnL
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."213Please respect copyright.PENANAAcri5zDv49
213Please respect copyright.PENANASC6QzKNp8O
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.213Please respect copyright.PENANAxMGOKeABM7
213Please respect copyright.PENANAmlbVUhlNVI
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.213Please respect copyright.PENANAI1A65SFdOw
213Please respect copyright.PENANAafSNWwRZsl
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."213Please respect copyright.PENANApdePeJS2ay
213Please respect copyright.PENANAjTbhiOXj1T
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAFelM1Z8UWm
213Please respect copyright.PENANADML1meEAvS
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANA7Bc0pcr6cI
213Please respect copyright.PENANAGYwG8aST42
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.213Please respect copyright.PENANAjtweC54dry
213Please respect copyright.PENANA5InH4kXefE
"Nothing to like."213Please respect copyright.PENANA3KegAjWE0C
213Please respect copyright.PENANA4TvpozJA9a
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."213Please respect copyright.PENANAFplLAshxND
213Please respect copyright.PENANA5S5CG5nILz
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.213Please respect copyright.PENANAeJITO4EakQ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJIaZJjIbwd
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"213Please respect copyright.PENANAeruP38cGIK
213Please respect copyright.PENANAaU5pr29QtY
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."213Please respect copyright.PENANAyi1D6J3dZe
213Please respect copyright.PENANAjaPwIXi8BL
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."213Please respect copyright.PENANA4sLFzCqzdk
213Please respect copyright.PENANAD6hAO7CuHh
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"213Please respect copyright.PENANA1pHj214l6b
213Please respect copyright.PENANA82Cdh4Vj6z
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."213Please respect copyright.PENANAH3Xer6E4Iw
213Please respect copyright.PENANAr2W0xxJUAJ
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.213Please respect copyright.PENANA4rfSyxMICr
213Please respect copyright.PENANAachpoZlO05
"Thank you."213Please respect copyright.PENANAYDfIAuuDlQ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAgWnqivLpP3
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"213Please respect copyright.PENANA516jwXq3Bo
213Please respect copyright.PENANAY1dfm9Eu8S
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"213Please respect copyright.PENANAz7GfS5cCXD
213Please respect copyright.PENANAwhgF2gUosi
"Yeah, you know t-"213Please respect copyright.PENANAPUcs01QTkt
213Please respect copyright.PENANA6CwUlO7IZA
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."213Please respect copyright.PENANAGNj17vzrlO
213Please respect copyright.PENANANCBGyoSPPz
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"213Please respect copyright.PENANAgRPE8BdqYM
213Please respect copyright.PENANAuIUUOAFmqS
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."213Please respect copyright.PENANArWEpdmaPPZ
213Please respect copyright.PENANA7TXDlVvcLC
"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.213Please respect copyright.PENANASbOWMRxr1s
213Please respect copyright.PENANAHHGlvlF9Go
"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."213Please respect copyright.PENANAdNeC39CnZy
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJQJ8KGacvT
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"213Please respect copyright.PENANAtUhmEvHxMu
213Please respect copyright.PENANAvU4xi6LLYX
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"213Please respect copyright.PENANAg5YHZz6vac
213Please respect copyright.PENANA1KzxldFA9F
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.213Please respect copyright.PENANA50O0utIjk0
213Please respect copyright.PENANA98SxI9A2WM
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAVTUjLYMcc0
213Please respect copyright.PENANA91yn2xAhsg
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."213Please respect copyright.PENANAC2y6v5m9MH
213Please respect copyright.PENANA7oyvhxbvVO
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"213Please respect copyright.PENANA0KNE4RiC0m
213Please respect copyright.PENANAcys7I6bdnn
"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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAlZkq0Zbq2n
213Please respect copyright.PENANAgM5IVJzmOC
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.213Please respect copyright.PENANAuuMP6sueLc
213Please respect copyright.PENANAeKASVZLwwX
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."213Please respect copyright.PENANAZU5EMN33qK
213Please respect copyright.PENANAnwlZ7Xnauv
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAggxqHHmUts
213Please respect copyright.PENANAEaJ85Rr0zM
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANADopckQ0dCF
213Please respect copyright.PENANAg0P7lCVqv9
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."213Please respect copyright.PENANABzEl45SpMA
213Please respect copyright.PENANANMbZPstNKS
"You knew him?"213Please respect copyright.PENANAgix78vkrJL
213Please respect copyright.PENANAUhkEV4EPDC
"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."213Please respect copyright.PENANAKHsHFz6dO0
213Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ2y7nAgxK
I smiled, "You too!"213Please respect copyright.PENANAFKP8Ew0lUD
213Please respect copyright.PENANA8rEEz1WhES
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAwoQ2waTaJC
213Please respect copyright.PENANAjgJqSy1aa2
"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.213Please respect copyright.PENANA2v7P5dIXxX
213Please respect copyright.PENANAEp4U9j5v56
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."213Please respect copyright.PENANAtf8kCgCfMB
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtTm9Cz9vDM
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."213Please respect copyright.PENANAT6mn9054nW
213Please respect copyright.PENANAmEmn0HNMae
"Meeting here?" I asked her.213Please respect copyright.PENANAg7HGZtGDC4
213Please respect copyright.PENANAk51oMcZyTM
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.213Please respect copyright.PENANAvt3RD6IhgZ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAfZxynQSEwH
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAKWnEkemJBw
213Please respect copyright.PENANAm1hwGMW1Ct
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."213Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7M0I2Hg4X
213Please respect copyright.PENANA58qaV7lin3
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."213Please respect copyright.PENANAtOMXoUHih1
213Please respect copyright.PENANAbAAnu7ODK6
"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."213Please respect copyright.PENANAaOqCD0wHzD
213Please respect copyright.PENANAbiBs72AL8E
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAYdaAhIMq7M
213Please respect copyright.PENANAUK6RS3rgTj
There was just too much I didn't know yet.213Please respect copyright.PENANA7DvR00yJ63
213Please respect copyright.PENANAG9XZswjbQU
"May! There you are."213Please respect copyright.PENANAR0dvgmkB9G
213Please respect copyright.PENANAQjH1MJc9Dl
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAIujYJKFqYY
213Please respect copyright.PENANAWvYgYyPb1X
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAOi9zo3p12l
213Please respect copyright.PENANAsjxFIHFniC
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.213Please respect copyright.PENANASkKu58Ns4P
213Please respect copyright.PENANA68op2BFVvH
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."213Please respect copyright.PENANAn4dhOeQeD7
213Please respect copyright.PENANA7XvUnzN9Kp
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."213Please respect copyright.PENANA7X2Q7IwWNm
213Please respect copyright.PENANAISQ4c2qZp5
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.213Please respect copyright.PENANAtuxJk3uRUu
213Please respect copyright.PENANAKJLwpHovdK
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.213Please respect copyright.PENANAk0FYyyjvqm
213Please respect copyright.PENANAn97KOPgNNR
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.213Please respect copyright.PENANA5FIwiTZq5t
213Please respect copyright.PENANA1vaiV7gqVV
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."213Please respect copyright.PENANAkiWKGYieOL
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0WR3Eb5lEy
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."213Please respect copyright.PENANAKEmDExhGne
213Please respect copyright.PENANAH9LU8DIZWu
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."213Please respect copyright.PENANA0JMgEROdPs
213Please respect copyright.PENANAYH01owu6In
"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."213Please respect copyright.PENANAEvY4GtS0kA
213Please respect copyright.PENANAmOHFPEBM8N
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."213Please respect copyright.PENANAG7KgcYYHVI
213Please respect copyright.PENANAzWnKKmH1o7
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"213Please respect copyright.PENANAJhfTkPY5gM
213Please respect copyright.PENANAeGYV1vcS1C
"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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAWjs13Pq9u7
213Please respect copyright.PENANAWKK8QeVySg
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."213Please respect copyright.PENANAJzJdX1psBI
213Please respect copyright.PENANADqsbu21YXG
"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?"213Please respect copyright.PENANA8zNLgwgmGt
213Please respect copyright.PENANAes2nkFcquR
"Sure!" I said brightly.213Please respect copyright.PENANA3ubM1n8qtP
213Please respect copyright.PENANAECRoRRdp1G
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAuEEJmjCHH3
213Please respect copyright.PENANAUxnxcJHZBI
_213Please respect copyright.PENANAMCld2TZQab
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0sXpRJ8OCE
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"213Please respect copyright.PENANAU7eQlRYFzF
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0HkKifkicm
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAzIowiuEs9R
213Please respect copyright.PENANAEOniJleTCN
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.213Please respect copyright.PENANAYvxf1mHwA1
213Please respect copyright.PENANAnTMcgNNXHX
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"213Please respect copyright.PENANAB0d6aM9LX3
213Please respect copyright.PENANABJ9tFUqVNg
Thank god! Pizza! 213Please respect copyright.PENANA5OBZF1rw84
213Please respect copyright.PENANAdRna9wIsgs
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.213Please respect copyright.PENANAguPfWIaVf5
213Please respect copyright.PENANANFvOSE2zx3
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.213Please respect copyright.PENANASDdQYIKzEF
213Please respect copyright.PENANAUCPFA1RjCo
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANA6zZFWvlcWG
213Please respect copyright.PENANArs4V9XbDHc
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.213Please respect copyright.PENANAtWWVJmFw3k
213Please respect copyright.PENANAksut6lA2YD
"You'll get used to it."213Please respect copyright.PENANAu7Ah36Ln0m
213Please respect copyright.PENANAf4xJWcmSNl
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"213Please respect copyright.PENANAbjcXBSkCm0
213Please respect copyright.PENANAAPRbV8EjF4
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."213Please respect copyright.PENANAWIAXc6DAPr
213Please respect copyright.PENANAWfDalS1AQH
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 213Please respect copyright.PENANAaLJC5mZdes
213Please respect copyright.PENANAsZWeQDetlx
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."213Please respect copyright.PENANA9KrbEX6yWB
213Please respect copyright.PENANAhzO8CZMhh8
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAvuLBdw5S0C
213Please respect copyright.PENANAqc779Vwh3Y
"Mother?" I pushed.213Please respect copyright.PENANAdjJMypQVpr
213Please respect copyright.PENANAVQr257Mpft
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."213Please respect copyright.PENANAMslsrNWNug
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtJH8kCgiCD
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANA83m95pgqr1
213Please respect copyright.PENANAcKkvpRZBTO
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANARFEwM2sctO
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0B4jD1oF7N
"May?" I said, confused.213Please respect copyright.PENANAdazSni7zpy
213Please respect copyright.PENANA45OEyei4Ip
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANA3rrJNUwVlQ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAGTSSs9bIQZ
"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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAxlBfJ0XZ9g
213Please respect copyright.PENANAw58GFJwrN1
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."213Please respect copyright.PENANAIsdwe0jsF5
213Please respect copyright.PENANAX0UdD2OQvT
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANAvPwwSTml4s
213Please respect copyright.PENANAkEf4LqvbNI
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANADmnsBL6Mza
213Please respect copyright.PENANAszXSlFXOlE
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.213Please respect copyright.PENANApvNVAKnJtD
213Please respect copyright.PENANAw8Ou8AMLg5
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.213Please respect copyright.PENANA3zvoXRyj1p
213Please respect copyright.PENANAWZHtQA7UKe
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.213Please respect copyright.PENANA4VturMsvfL
213Please respect copyright.PENANAAAf2Fn5B7p
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.213Please respect copyright.PENANApaqtShXm8o
213Please respect copyright.PENANA6XQC07hSUN
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.213Please respect copyright.PENANAT9ba1Ui54z
213Please respect copyright.PENANAvk6asN5nL5
"Kalon Wolfe."213Please respect copyright.PENANAV7bwToeqh3
213Please respect copyright.PENANAMQIsJV377m
213Please respect copyright.PENANAiGREp2Wfiu
