"How do you like your eggs?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAb0ZbAfJLsh
329Please respect copyright.PENANAoj46kl10e8
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."329Please respect copyright.PENANAe1AoplfnQf
329Please respect copyright.PENANA9z8MGHbPCJ
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAd4smmN2Wzm
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJWttrWRzmr
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."329Please respect copyright.PENANAytqTEiOg9L
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2RipObTpo
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAeT1YbbGWHt
329Please respect copyright.PENANAVxHyHdIUMX
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."329Please respect copyright.PENANA7XDmaaT7Go
329Please respect copyright.PENANAo8B7dEMuJL
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.329Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5R1h1VjwB
329Please respect copyright.PENANAOZybrqLTd5
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.329Please respect copyright.PENANAjadcS1rufx
329Please respect copyright.PENANAME8aZvlDrg
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."329Please respect copyright.PENANA3YGKmFmsx6
329Please respect copyright.PENANADezMXapC3H
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAuGo7Vx4gHL
329Please respect copyright.PENANArfec0F1taN
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAoD0keJqaNi
329Please respect copyright.PENANAcHNzYX3LSY
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.329Please respect copyright.PENANAR4vS1LCwIk
329Please respect copyright.PENANA6JbUG2d1TT
"Nothing to like."329Please respect copyright.PENANAdm1SS5oUNS
329Please respect copyright.PENANA1Cdno8q5b3
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."329Please respect copyright.PENANARaHQqQLTVb
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5PVph6LG60
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.329Please respect copyright.PENANAzqbVIVk4lC
329Please respect copyright.PENANAzkxrJJlE5X
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAhFURmmCW1p
329Please respect copyright.PENANAGl8tW9POSV
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."329Please respect copyright.PENANArbuAwNql9h
329Please respect copyright.PENANAiXSWLfFDLj
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."329Please respect copyright.PENANAJLRqgHvet9
329Please respect copyright.PENANA8FbTdbtd4v
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAo5sgmNiVvu
329Please respect copyright.PENANAFnna1MgYIx
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."329Please respect copyright.PENANAq5kcWjVUFe
329Please respect copyright.PENANA84LMLloegJ
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.329Please respect copyright.PENANAK6Op6D6R7f
329Please respect copyright.PENANAHezkiIpl0b
"Thank you."329Please respect copyright.PENANAp12LDOr1kC
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJth27cNhyN
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAsCc1DRye7o
329Please respect copyright.PENANAO8TFotoJaT
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAlbfRRrMip9
329Please respect copyright.PENANASWPFi8pzd1
"Yeah, you know t-"329Please respect copyright.PENANAwPrxW2bfZY
329Please respect copyright.PENANAuK0Vkcr9rP
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."329Please respect copyright.PENANAARbLPVd7Ha
329Please respect copyright.PENANA6exc3G3AoV
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"329Please respect copyright.PENANA9qxz0ooIh3
329Please respect copyright.PENANAvEATRpvsaa
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."329Please respect copyright.PENANAgIz3S36RTg
329Please respect copyright.PENANAT7jTtroffg
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAlZIyeNkHmf
329Please respect copyright.PENANA7FFv9ckCeC
"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."329Please respect copyright.PENANAf7tqgBkVfw
329Please respect copyright.PENANAkozOMLB16d
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"329Please respect copyright.PENANAe1Qp75qMLa
329Please respect copyright.PENANA2lXRlVomnt
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAOFySbD77v9
329Please respect copyright.PENANArxdipas19Z
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.329Please respect copyright.PENANACEVMk4XuvC
329Please respect copyright.PENANA0s6LsYQN9t
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAwD4TR31JDn
329Please respect copyright.PENANAjbdnzUoYjZ
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."329Please respect copyright.PENANAHOZfsBkrvU
329Please respect copyright.PENANARmJfcPQYGZ
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAU2JA9Y4ccN
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5lJDmxdzCT
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANACCBavFQlUZ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAeXBtn7HwQe
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.329Please respect copyright.PENANA3EjSRFgEMq
329Please respect copyright.PENANA7jk6UAu09Y
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."329Please respect copyright.PENANAgXqB8bbr9b
329Please respect copyright.PENANA4ixShfdJe6
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 329Please respect copyright.PENANAU1XnMH9mQd
329Please respect copyright.PENANAKzV2Z6JknH
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAZMnJLVPWlE
329Please respect copyright.PENANAHnVMtHken9
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."329Please respect copyright.PENANAvSD5iNLoD9
329Please respect copyright.PENANAkZc9wCtosP
"You knew him?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAG1rQqd9Lbt
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJsROUbZdFb
"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."329Please respect copyright.PENANAAoivefwEJL
329Please respect copyright.PENANAs3natg6Bxp
I smiled, "You too!"329Please respect copyright.PENANAq5txipoRHG
329Please respect copyright.PENANAV5nBZWMRfe
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANADWNLXfYUPL
329Please respect copyright.PENANAAqvy26vZsJ
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAvtB8GIHRT0
329Please respect copyright.PENANAcjZ0JT2Vhd
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."329Please respect copyright.PENANAc528S0kM0q
329Please respect copyright.PENANAthHUhj8j1H
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."329Please respect copyright.PENANAqlZ5D1irEQ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJXAizwpRxK
"Meeting here?" I asked her.329Please respect copyright.PENANAdRBg878ALo
329Please respect copyright.PENANAP2oBLlIWqz
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.329Please respect copyright.PENANAOwYG5c313C
329Please respect copyright.PENANAZQDXYAtqI7
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAd9S3mf6OMp
329Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2kYr3rB4i
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."329Please respect copyright.PENANAtfrQLsSqvP
329Please respect copyright.PENANA6DT3hgqXb2
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."329Please respect copyright.PENANA8jpDAhHFCG
329Please respect copyright.PENANAOjVnt6dLPw
"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."329Please respect copyright.PENANAD5s1LVsPpT
329Please respect copyright.PENANAMdzQnxUWRi
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANA8fASSdOOYB
329Please respect copyright.PENANAAMu9g87ju9
There was just too much I didn't know yet.329Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ0tw49JU8
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJtw0y1tWXj
"May! There you are."329Please respect copyright.PENANAcJVJpu7EnG
329Please respect copyright.PENANAnEP6Zw74hy
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAEnqCISEKfI
329Please respect copyright.PENANAZpgmEpddEZ
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAiX9c3eL03c
329Please respect copyright.PENANATdNV2XAnoJ
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.329Please respect copyright.PENANAudnLdF8Rjw
329Please respect copyright.PENANAsrOAQ5Mc8W
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."329Please respect copyright.PENANAI9b5wOaQ0o
329Please respect copyright.PENANAhr3AqXxWuA
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."329Please respect copyright.PENANARv0FlcikO9
329Please respect copyright.PENANANdznSKDD5l
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.329Please respect copyright.PENANAT7tj2A0NsA
329Please respect copyright.PENANAcNEgj8BLV2
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.329Please respect copyright.PENANAnb72TsbQtr
329Please respect copyright.PENANA56HI4wVNqb
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.329Please respect copyright.PENANAmJZ3i5j1B3
329Please respect copyright.PENANA4UNlgCYVjH
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."329Please respect copyright.PENANA0JodiZgURQ
329Please respect copyright.PENANA2t4qYVRqdG
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."329Please respect copyright.PENANABrarQg5VoH
329Please respect copyright.PENANAj87nOBn1gB
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."329Please respect copyright.PENANA4xJ6HcVn5e
329Please respect copyright.PENANAzW5QqaEPUk
"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."329Please respect copyright.PENANAWLiA4iAo2y
329Please respect copyright.PENANAdfDhQ97oHx
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."329Please respect copyright.PENANAfpyMuEQJLv
329Please respect copyright.PENANAslcQLoc7h7
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"329Please respect copyright.PENANABUc3jU4LSO
329Please respect copyright.PENANAjDLO55eoHb
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAqpA7DpTdM5
329Please respect copyright.PENANAoMx2vFA0j5
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."329Please respect copyright.PENANAD4VP92EOF7
329Please respect copyright.PENANAE4l6Gv3lBI
"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?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAvD78Qy1469
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJRACoU5Dz0
"Sure!" I said brightly.329Please respect copyright.PENANAn15TUjKGft
329Please respect copyright.PENANAMywvzaYOrj
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANA74A7BEsZSz
329Please respect copyright.PENANAXER6qSamWW
_329Please respect copyright.PENANAfOzuMTw5hj
329Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ0aURMctY
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"329Please respect copyright.PENANAh010BCBwat
329Please respect copyright.PENANAsdUosmHZ78
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAEFZqIaVY3C
329Please respect copyright.PENANAdZBzsVRydp
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.329Please respect copyright.PENANAjBTtBXPuoD
329Please respect copyright.PENANA2SwcrVwtnq
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"329Please respect copyright.PENANA1lw0GxGXYY
329Please respect copyright.PENANAVCjh4jdBah
Thank god! Pizza! 329Please respect copyright.PENANAvAYI0Y0nIM
329Please respect copyright.PENANAr8vl4yaZGz
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.329Please respect copyright.PENANAwhQBAL9klA
329Please respect copyright.PENANAzwwsjDIqhu
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.329Please respect copyright.PENANAIgpWdnfhEl
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5GDxH2qoiq
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAsJ4len3OcQ
329Please respect copyright.PENANALjsH4DWdXT
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.329Please respect copyright.PENANArGEYJf30xl
329Please respect copyright.PENANAHzkirA59mm
"You'll get used to it."329Please respect copyright.PENANAs1ZDru3mfq
329Please respect copyright.PENANAj2EpRABI7T
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"329Please respect copyright.PENANAqFiQtzpg3P
329Please respect copyright.PENANAbmYOBd2mDn
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."329Please respect copyright.PENANAztnrcDUtVH
329Please respect copyright.PENANAbVzv93XRHf
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 329Please respect copyright.PENANAjApwXT3hDe
329Please respect copyright.PENANApJxRucZGl6
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."329Please respect copyright.PENANAn3Pad2KCsP
329Please respect copyright.PENANAYeD9Baxeja
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 329Please respect copyright.PENANAlvkm1eRwB0
329Please respect copyright.PENANA0e1UEc8EfQ
"Mother?" I pushed.329Please respect copyright.PENANApjKuTNqENb
329Please respect copyright.PENANA7eknGAI9GG
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."329Please respect copyright.PENANA3YrGDmqVG6
329Please respect copyright.PENANAuCYfY9Ez3L
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAyLE988iiZC
329Please respect copyright.PENANA9cKjNJtofo
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANA9ehOR8eyh8
329Please respect copyright.PENANA8hBA0Jgmz2
"May?" I said, confused.329Please respect copyright.PENANAIdgUjr7Qv5
329Please respect copyright.PENANAhFVz4WrkXH
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAhd5rvgpZR8
329Please respect copyright.PENANAH7QQ3mhxD0
"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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAUZLHhGVlMH
329Please respect copyright.PENANA6bP386zhxA
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."329Please respect copyright.PENANAjnCP3Hajyl
329Please respect copyright.PENANAvNUWeW4t3u
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAdWfnZwrNMK
329Please respect copyright.PENANApD5maTqKHi
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAaORvhoZDNj
329Please respect copyright.PENANA9qCWN8bY8N
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.329Please respect copyright.PENANAKUBTERv66w
329Please respect copyright.PENANAui3hCJIzHZ
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.329Please respect copyright.PENANA1c7q2ex8Xl
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5iMJfYh84J
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.329Please respect copyright.PENANAZYqemCbRxZ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAfh2S3cbmyx
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.329Please respect copyright.PENANAc6zpNEfCaI
329Please respect copyright.PENANAiqsWS3KdDM
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.329Please respect copyright.PENANAhKbhdPisig
329Please respect copyright.PENANAgLSjj9BTHi
"Kalon Wolfe."329Please respect copyright.PENANACxijMJVXXr
329Please respect copyright.PENANA3KWsE3mhMy
329Please respect copyright.PENANAcxmFLtBdFs
