"How do you like your eggs?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAx0irELgS4s
333Please respect copyright.PENANAlDnsaGR0Dn
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."333Please respect copyright.PENANAcjra1ggEtU
333Please respect copyright.PENANASXurXosUOV
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAeZHwHKw1ww
333Please respect copyright.PENANA6sFmgBYneq
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."333Please respect copyright.PENANAR4NLKY81nU
333Please respect copyright.PENANAFSSIZuA4JF
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAGenYNJOnGy
333Please respect copyright.PENANAckr9WLuuXt
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."333Please respect copyright.PENANAIBntqwI82v
333Please respect copyright.PENANAnAjEcacIfR
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.333Please respect copyright.PENANA4pq5ipTOeO
333Please respect copyright.PENANAk9raKJKT13
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.333Please respect copyright.PENANAWrfIw7l5tW
333Please respect copyright.PENANAMcd7fQ1P0V
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."333Please respect copyright.PENANAf1duxx9fcb
333Please respect copyright.PENANAYbX7hsHuB3
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAZgZqjfSPRv
333Please respect copyright.PENANA7f04MB5PVL
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAEh2lXAiw5P
333Please respect copyright.PENANAOhfMMPpuJl
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.333Please respect copyright.PENANAqcuRoRItyk
333Please respect copyright.PENANALj2SRxgY0A
"Nothing to like."333Please respect copyright.PENANAbKjC0zbSx3
333Please respect copyright.PENANARJBSVT5iC1
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."333Please respect copyright.PENANACl68e0aDR3
333Please respect copyright.PENANAGb8vEZBtP6
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.333Please respect copyright.PENANAqWOhsqCl4q
333Please respect copyright.PENANANVBs21v5Vw
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAB7HkX74VVn
333Please respect copyright.PENANARU8YafQbiV
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."333Please respect copyright.PENANABEb0ws4Rrc
333Please respect copyright.PENANAd5CtHXwEIz
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."333Please respect copyright.PENANAu64ylpWQF6
333Please respect copyright.PENANADxgWlNkhPo
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAadfOEzVSeq
333Please respect copyright.PENANAZCgHuxMJEL
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."333Please respect copyright.PENANAkYChOtww5J
333Please respect copyright.PENANAAmki6ocEoy
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.333Please respect copyright.PENANADzg2LqqIR8
333Please respect copyright.PENANAwTIRH9CtzP
"Thank you."333Please respect copyright.PENANAMqUw1eEsFg
333Please respect copyright.PENANAE6UofcZM9f
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAeqTL4ylhZa
333Please respect copyright.PENANAjsGY4ui14I
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAOYSABX35Ty
333Please respect copyright.PENANAx1rbvZFpZa
"Yeah, you know t-"333Please respect copyright.PENANAdCqJft8WB0
333Please respect copyright.PENANAgrhmaDxlcs
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."333Please respect copyright.PENANAGuBwQKwg40
333Please respect copyright.PENANAclqPuqYjKx
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"333Please respect copyright.PENANA6jN7x3NMlX
333Please respect copyright.PENANAR5cqE7fxiE
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."333Please respect copyright.PENANAtf1xe27YAw
333Please respect copyright.PENANA8aFxThC2jw
"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.333Please respect copyright.PENANABn8yo8Ojy3
333Please respect copyright.PENANAnSaDt6Ef4D
"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."333Please respect copyright.PENANAlXDDkpb1gW
333Please respect copyright.PENANAczHPwhAVWq
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"333Please respect copyright.PENANAMlcIopWnNa
333Please respect copyright.PENANAFnHyLktkwG
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAJf83obJUp9
333Please respect copyright.PENANAlsQyYSIJsk
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.333Please respect copyright.PENANA08XTUtaqDh
333Please respect copyright.PENANAaeGENznGzQ
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANASCGuz5XsBf
333Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yjs0yRCuT
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."333Please respect copyright.PENANAUQVyVua8Yg
333Please respect copyright.PENANA1ntkLaVk1X
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAjAgJwLjQdb
333Please respect copyright.PENANAZquGgqmtXb
"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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAY1x3hxqRiH
333Please respect copyright.PENANANVCHUIyeFe
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.333Please respect copyright.PENANAu3zn4jNLjN
333Please respect copyright.PENANA5WT0cpsF8y
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."333Please respect copyright.PENANA3bDeRkfK0g
333Please respect copyright.PENANA5dtoNBJxAs
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 333Please respect copyright.PENANAHnbx07ADcw
333Please respect copyright.PENANAW41g9Ff4UR
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANA4CTS91FWqK
333Please respect copyright.PENANAZKU0NuUQh1
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."333Please respect copyright.PENANAsPiVGQr1D4
333Please respect copyright.PENANA9Orz4FyzBU
"You knew him?"333Please respect copyright.PENANA0oi4wGYQ4q
333Please respect copyright.PENANADNl3UVs4k6
"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."333Please respect copyright.PENANAe2enzuLmQp
333Please respect copyright.PENANAaKKzjYjSfH
I smiled, "You too!"333Please respect copyright.PENANACebfuAfdwY
333Please respect copyright.PENANAEjEiAEqaxh
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAr9TfWxIMRk
333Please respect copyright.PENANAst8tqJGKOS
"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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAfduEIFV6Mm
333Please respect copyright.PENANA8mavhB3DFl
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."333Please respect copyright.PENANAohx0rrAvCY
333Please respect copyright.PENANApjrrhU4djA
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."333Please respect copyright.PENANATPRaebfJh4
333Please respect copyright.PENANApZSl6l0nnW
"Meeting here?" I asked her.333Please respect copyright.PENANA0CeQYGxKCj
333Please respect copyright.PENANAiW0901Ip1Z
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.333Please respect copyright.PENANAjWAPke3Mr7
333Please respect copyright.PENANAvUyX9X7JGg
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAuAZO4zFYOs
333Please respect copyright.PENANAOnaAZTqDFk
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."333Please respect copyright.PENANAQh4hxAUZQe
333Please respect copyright.PENANAnOXiNehkRa
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."333Please respect copyright.PENANANWYdjJzAbG
333Please respect copyright.PENANAaIbxrqtJ1Y
"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."333Please respect copyright.PENANAEvGBjTPB0F
333Please respect copyright.PENANAEKmcW7MowM
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAIJwKFiRsN6
333Please respect copyright.PENANA8gLzRXzX6q
There was just too much I didn't know yet.333Please respect copyright.PENANArYeIQRIvE2
333Please respect copyright.PENANAo29mXr1k7t
"May! There you are."333Please respect copyright.PENANAzVYqbX3jr1
333Please respect copyright.PENANAKwbxoGvnA5
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAh0PYijQuGN
333Please respect copyright.PENANAqM590e77cH
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAgdEpGvRyXq
333Please respect copyright.PENANAYO0kEL6ryD
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.333Please respect copyright.PENANAekJq4m7LMI
333Please respect copyright.PENANAUA8jiNx8sx
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."333Please respect copyright.PENANAzSi7fUgxb9
333Please respect copyright.PENANAVr6lbvr7LH
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."333Please respect copyright.PENANAXDFF1yrfCt
333Please respect copyright.PENANABITdwE3zqv
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.333Please respect copyright.PENANAgYm4Xj8r8w
333Please respect copyright.PENANARWm3xSt9qs
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.333Please respect copyright.PENANACwLfgUSg9f
333Please respect copyright.PENANAbIwoJ9ZjjB
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.333Please respect copyright.PENANA1ppvJXh0RD
333Please respect copyright.PENANA0yFPKE3AU5
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."333Please respect copyright.PENANAeLsaSW67yM
333Please respect copyright.PENANAUN7e2roNt0
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."333Please respect copyright.PENANAFOUVyIf1Jh
333Please respect copyright.PENANAFwkUpTkknf
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."333Please respect copyright.PENANAwX453tHAFr
333Please respect copyright.PENANAej811B3wfc
"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."333Please respect copyright.PENANApxNSI7leLs
333Please respect copyright.PENANAwKRzCDRc6b
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."333Please respect copyright.PENANAFiMi8PLIa0
333Please respect copyright.PENANASDHBUub0Aq
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"333Please respect copyright.PENANAZef69M7vOq
333Please respect copyright.PENANAACISHHypiY
"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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAg8rdI8Lxex
333Please respect copyright.PENANAoc05Q7s9Td
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."333Please respect copyright.PENANA5IC7w3Sx9J
333Please respect copyright.PENANAxela1xFHcu
"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?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAPKS00ySedK
333Please respect copyright.PENANAApdiCxFqnt
"Sure!" I said brightly.333Please respect copyright.PENANAXUvGEUHxAq
333Please respect copyright.PENANAqXPw8zz0hq
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAUPRNBUrq25
333Please respect copyright.PENANAm8xYr1rAHJ
_333Please respect copyright.PENANAa2GTzQASTK
333Please respect copyright.PENANAK4v12frZzQ
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"333Please respect copyright.PENANA7s2b1JPTh6
333Please respect copyright.PENANALOBgR7Jv1L
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAv1JaLJtBbh
333Please respect copyright.PENANAV6C81yE44c
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.333Please respect copyright.PENANAktTbB4P9EM
333Please respect copyright.PENANAAQj8P87YVv
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"333Please respect copyright.PENANACRvOOpmMWT
333Please respect copyright.PENANAJpW67y9i2S
Thank god! Pizza! 333Please respect copyright.PENANAGQt4WOR9se
333Please respect copyright.PENANADLsF71o1Uq
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.333Please respect copyright.PENANASBje6fm5UT
333Please respect copyright.PENANA3x153rxwZm
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.333Please respect copyright.PENANA1r1bKC5CZV
333Please respect copyright.PENANAbWLzvwj8jM
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAOu4GnE30Fk
333Please respect copyright.PENANAfyeIr08bEk
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.333Please respect copyright.PENANAWBDVzwo3E3
333Please respect copyright.PENANAwkTZTxK2Yk
"You'll get used to it."333Please respect copyright.PENANA2u09tqcbml
333Please respect copyright.PENANARVMR6JWMtf
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAEO90XvT2Oa
333Please respect copyright.PENANAp59CzaMm4P
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."333Please respect copyright.PENANA7QJsrT03V0
333Please respect copyright.PENANAIjf40oAgAN
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 333Please respect copyright.PENANA5ufFkH7R1y
333Please respect copyright.PENANA1pTGt3bjG6
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."333Please respect copyright.PENANA71gafiyxTy
333Please respect copyright.PENANATNNwDSl3NN
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 333Please respect copyright.PENANAQNhOXGysJm
333Please respect copyright.PENANAjiAvZvLEzY
"Mother?" I pushed.333Please respect copyright.PENANATUK2c3RGld
333Please respect copyright.PENANAVkx5cra3xs
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."333Please respect copyright.PENANA1ETKL8eylF
333Please respect copyright.PENANAbrOFn9NKon
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANA2YVc5wO8s9
333Please respect copyright.PENANA1hEWwU7RSe
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANALDh2UVJiYi
333Please respect copyright.PENANAEG6s9NJQ5a
"May?" I said, confused.333Please respect copyright.PENANAPhK9e4ZaJF
333Please respect copyright.PENANAygw3WoQvJF
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAgECWTSUaHe
333Please respect copyright.PENANArfrSIvFiTq
"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.333Please respect copyright.PENANA6BfsVl4g3O
333Please respect copyright.PENANAmgebRNQs9m
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."333Please respect copyright.PENANAKIcmsfWXef
333Please respect copyright.PENANAXlv4N9rj6R
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAAjLs0OTrH9
333Please respect copyright.PENANAtghv4DkAfM
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAyXamPcLf7q
333Please respect copyright.PENANAspHWX1lI8w
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.333Please respect copyright.PENANAlYtefG0R1z
333Please respect copyright.PENANAfoHUAiimap
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.333Please respect copyright.PENANAdXVAqUocE9
333Please respect copyright.PENANAeu9P4O3dZg
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.333Please respect copyright.PENANAa0etCRuHH1
333Please respect copyright.PENANApr4IfL1atk
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.333Please respect copyright.PENANAloXvN8rRsY
333Please respect copyright.PENANACU1UYU6NAI
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.333Please respect copyright.PENANAFwQQPtnib5
333Please respect copyright.PENANAlq93LYY5fP
"Kalon Wolfe."333Please respect copyright.PENANAXooracmXsi
333Please respect copyright.PENANAiUGqLgV4Jc
333Please respect copyright.PENANAwxLUmWCye6
