"How do you like your eggs?"302Please respect copyright.PENANA7dtJdbYAqp
302Please respect copyright.PENANAcuOzpGs8vj
"Scrambled," I smiled and slid onto the stool in front of May. "You really cooked a buffet."302Please respect copyright.PENANAiysXKPP39M
302Please respect copyright.PENANAj8OZ01Pq5W
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAnWX9u1CNBo
302Please respect copyright.PENANADub7RNqgyi
"Well, I have a lot of people to feed today."302Please respect copyright.PENANAcum3H7Sa6r
302Please respect copyright.PENANAi2OgbD6Gle
My brows furrowed, "The rest of the staff?"302Please respect copyright.PENANA93ACCMGwIK
302Please respect copyright.PENANAYvk3ua1MUr
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."302Please respect copyright.PENANA9TzzHQQhAU
302Please respect copyright.PENANASsYuAWSSnY
"Are they ghosts like him?" I laughed.302Please respect copyright.PENANAY4Nz1Ot4rp
302Please respect copyright.PENANA64tySBGF42
Before May could respond, a man with shaggy blonde locks with just a white towel wrapped tightly around his waist stepped around the corner.302Please respect copyright.PENANA5vQlefkD2b
302Please respect copyright.PENANABaLt5ByeiI
"Do I look transparent, baby?" He snorted and grabbed a piece of bacon. "May here is the BEST cook in the house."302Please respect copyright.PENANA3sWO2ZX9hX
302Please respect copyright.PENANAzN3LqKJovX
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAuaKtVzmwP7
302Please respect copyright.PENANAIKk02XS8Te
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAZBvW6Zhuq6
302Please respect copyright.PENANAKt3SkisMVV
"Like what you see?" He teased and I glared back.302Please respect copyright.PENANAoLIhlNcarR
302Please respect copyright.PENANAqE0yLUbywR
"Nothing to like."302Please respect copyright.PENANAfBDny385TD
302Please respect copyright.PENANAoIGItZ51Wm
He rolled his eyes, "You're a bad liar."302Please respect copyright.PENANA8mqPPKRpr3
302Please respect copyright.PENANAAJtRCyCySS
"Who are you anyways?" I asked him in a bored tone.302Please respect copyright.PENANAGMGAvKL77s
302Please respect copyright.PENANAcOs5OtFum6
"My name is Jax, I'm the favorite." He winked and looked at May. "Isn't that right mama?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAUbTTCflulL
302Please respect copyright.PENANAMXtJgBCbuF
She nodded, laughing at him. "I suppose it is."302Please respect copyright.PENANALc5SGrTwGb
302Please respect copyright.PENANA3y2Idu810r
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jax. I'm Robbie Quinn."302Please respect copyright.PENANAiIzss5e16b
302Please respect copyright.PENANAb0B70no81r
"Ahh," He mused, a smile playing on his mouth. "You're the Quinn sister? Josh is your brother right?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAW5cZOAq2kE
302Please respect copyright.PENANADFs257Pwps
My heart sank in my chest. "Y-yeah...was...my brother."302Please respect copyright.PENANAjZabReYXsM
302Please respect copyright.PENANA9JCZ0q2tIJ
Jax frowned, "I'm sorry about your loss." His voice sounded as if he regretted saying anything at all.302Please respect copyright.PENANAZUosJhfKoO
302Please respect copyright.PENANAlZmb4Z3EnQ
"Thank you."302Please respect copyright.PENANAz8F581y9hG
302Please respect copyright.PENANAvVJCMrdfHm
"So," Jax started and moved onto the chair next to mine. "Are you one of Wolfe's girls?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAOH0CdPMjr9
302Please respect copyright.PENANAGDQDnykLwM
I looked at him, confused. "Girls?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAieJcthmteF
302Please respect copyright.PENANAbT2LnNlp6R
"Yeah, you know t-"302Please respect copyright.PENANAX9JM1pdHqT
302Please respect copyright.PENANAFPVO6xeCGO
"Jax!" May interjected and shoved a plate towards him. "Leave the girl alone and eat."302Please respect copyright.PENANApzHVXQGhp1
302Please respect copyright.PENANAgEpbUYIO9Q
"No, it's okay." I smiled at her and turned back to him. "What do you mean girls?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAuvFYpAP7AC
302Please respect copyright.PENANA9oFcYJBNDA
"Ah, it's nothing, "Jax shoveled an entire pancake into his mouth while he spoke, "mah mishtake."302Please respect copyright.PENANAZTxqQjXEEE
302Please respect copyright.PENANA8iVqStEXQD
"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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAruN5wV1jg0
302Please respect copyright.PENANAE96WMq5rMZ
"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."302Please respect copyright.PENANAgy94gVdjFG
302Please respect copyright.PENANAeIgE48ughy
"You have no idea!" Jax blurted and May smacked him hard on the arm. "Ouch!"302Please respect copyright.PENANAJmZXSyPxMc
302Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2HOclGNH5
"Damn! Already pissing of Mrs. Williams, Jax?"302Please respect copyright.PENANA6kjCxFOLic
302Please respect copyright.PENANAC8eMNt61pq
I turned at the sound of the new voice as another guy walked into the room wearing a tennis outfit.302Please respect copyright.PENANAX8v8Um3jOW
302Please respect copyright.PENANAMj7mCZFMU0
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAtw7BY8uHYk
302Please respect copyright.PENANALfO6UUxvvc
"Sorry about my him," He said immediately as his eyes found me. "My name is Landon and this buffoon here is my big brother."302Please respect copyright.PENANAKiFdvfd1pY
302Please respect copyright.PENANAdOh8F74DPG
I smiled a bit, "Nice to meet you, Landon. Do you both work for Mr. Wolfe?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAdlP3We5Tvt
302Please respect copyright.PENANAHxvi7RqQhW
"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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAQMjuYF1yux
302Please respect copyright.PENANA1qqsAzy2Pj
"Not a chance in hell." Jax interupted.302Please respect copyright.PENANAC6MOFxsMb3
302Please respect copyright.PENANABm5pcaEdam
"You don't get to decided that!" Landon argued and looked back at me with an apologetic smile. "Sorry."302Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zf7H9wtJP
302Please respect copyright.PENANA9uXcmwziwo
"It's alright, I used to get into fights with my brother too." I said sadly. 302Please respect copyright.PENANAkrAYBBKsJB
302Please respect copyright.PENANAcA8tNqVAUj
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAuBBCrifmGj
302Please respect copyright.PENANAfuvUejHP3I
Landon's face fell, "I'm really sorry about Josh. He was a nice guy."302Please respect copyright.PENANAXqYmgAj7a4
302Please respect copyright.PENANApyidz3fnOx
"You knew him?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAwOosdsQIXz
302Please respect copyright.PENANAo1qpDW5DAN
"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."302Please respect copyright.PENANAeUMb6GOLx6
302Please respect copyright.PENANAkisFIvCaLV
I smiled, "You too!"302Please respect copyright.PENANA40f5HoIGdd
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2W2SeV54co
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAInDfy7MgmM
302Please respect copyright.PENANASzeTIyj2QQ
"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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAwjFoJmTcKu
302Please respect copyright.PENANAbRNOkGOb37
"You should go rest, May." I told her softly and reached for her hand. "I'd be happy to clean up here."302Please respect copyright.PENANA3axgdH3VOH
302Please respect copyright.PENANAgXa20IGO8T
"Oh, no!" She patted my hand and stood up. "I really need to finish up before Mr. Wolfe has his meeting."302Please respect copyright.PENANACZ63p3jU2F
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2H8FoYgshk
"Meeting here?" I asked her.302Please respect copyright.PENANAU7Dsw9f1W9
302Please respect copyright.PENANAaOK2RIOu3y
"Yes, he has a business meeting starting at 10 this morning." She said with her back to me.302Please respect copyright.PENANAJc3KbbuT1I
302Please respect copyright.PENANAfVCDU22tRZ
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAo4i4M6n3nX
302Please respect copyright.PENANA51cNMsbSj9
"It's really no trouble, Ms. Quinn."302Please respect copyright.PENANAffHhJVYle4
302Please respect copyright.PENANAlolkeZiiH8
I shook my head at her, "Nonsense! I was raised to help in the kitchen."302Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qs31v87Y5
302Please respect copyright.PENANAQc4gWTWC9S
"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."302Please respect copyright.PENANANY5vIfMxGg
302Please respect copyright.PENANAFuhItmAk8J
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANArNaeyyhofE
302Please respect copyright.PENANAPT4vn3TZbf
There was just too much I didn't know yet.302Please respect copyright.PENANA6WHttSmp9Q
302Please respect copyright.PENANAaCKttueWTb
"May! There you are."302Please respect copyright.PENANAZhR4Kythwh
302Please respect copyright.PENANAPWWRKICZGu
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAh8T5roeymW
302Please respect copyright.PENANAS7aru3jkVZ
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAqEZju3h6eF
302Please respect copyright.PENANAvsUhKeh99j
"Good morning, Ms. Quinn!" Mr. Williams said cheerfully.302Please respect copyright.PENANA3QtMcEE1jH
302Please respect copyright.PENANAOiKN0MXrQU
"Morning! I didn't expect you..." I said and laughed awkwardly. "To be so normal."302Please respect copyright.PENANAFLCwX1ZdU2
302Please respect copyright.PENANA52x1wlRBzr
He snorted, "That monkey suit is horrible! This is what I prefer."302Please respect copyright.PENANAg5cc87eiiT
302Please respect copyright.PENANAomHBVZBl57
"And what I love," May chirped and pushed on his toes to kiss his lips.302Please respect copyright.PENANAGBgBedKUnk
302Please respect copyright.PENANAYCYtVBUK64
Mr. Williams and I watched as May passed the two of us to clear the trash left along the top of the island.302Please respect copyright.PENANAqHQMUcmxj7
302Please respect copyright.PENANAn8gFFLjlJh
"Isn't she amazing?" He whispered, his eyes never leaving her.302Please respect copyright.PENANAsl1p4BmPje
302Please respect copyright.PENANAdxXT509ecZ
I smiled up at him, "She really is. You two are a beautiful couple."302Please respect copyright.PENANAgrU1EoXeGd
302Please respect copyright.PENANAx8lTggna33
"You think so?" He asked and smiled at the thought. "She's kept my ass in check."302Please respect copyright.PENANA9BwMXxX5hx
302Please respect copyright.PENANAfiy78L958p
I followed his gaze. "I hope I have that one day."302Please respect copyright.PENANA5p101TYZa1
302Please respect copyright.PENANACtac5i5Ecx
"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."302Please respect copyright.PENANAV0WO1sK7xK
302Please respect copyright.PENANABog5YKi9xi
"I never would've said no to you," May said and turned to wink at him. "Look at how handsome he is."302Please respect copyright.PENANAdPYpmAaFhX
302Please respect copyright.PENANAaw1wG1QeLU
Mr. Williams turned bright red and whispered, "she's always embarrassing me too!"302Please respect copyright.PENANAII9XSuELjJ
302Please respect copyright.PENANAdObqIsFRBl
"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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAoNeVnWLqRJ
302Please respect copyright.PENANArB7SxZpL4S
"I know," He said and opened his arms as she ran to him. "I love her too."302Please respect copyright.PENANA0BCWVq4v0G
302Please respect copyright.PENANA8jzGJZuNT6
"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?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAL1Dv7pOs5G
302Please respect copyright.PENANArUpBQzdlEy
"Sure!" I said brightly.302Please respect copyright.PENANAGfp9DUHifC
302Please respect copyright.PENANACFeWrXUwnN
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAX8P2ZEhrsv
302Please respect copyright.PENANAPc76UXpmPT
_302Please respect copyright.PENANAI4HHXsfwUc
302Please respect copyright.PENANAnKQD4DeyU3
"Try to keep up, Robbie!"302Please respect copyright.PENANADiA61Oahlr
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2zBRrvdQeD
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAGsoOSU20oW
302Please respect copyright.PENANAvJzaXgoAQp
"How do you have this much energy?" I laughed and wiped some sweat off my head.302Please respect copyright.PENANAd86VsePDsy
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2XBuPPVLTo
"Being on the go is how I function!" She replied and pointed to a shop across the street. "Lunch time?"302Please respect copyright.PENANA9ttV0fYXOA
302Please respect copyright.PENANAGietXhcrAt
Thank god! Pizza! 302Please respect copyright.PENANAIO82dpzRqt
302Please respect copyright.PENANAOpK1m4SwJd
I nodded a little too eagerly and followed her closely across the street as we entered the little pizza shoppe and fell into line.302Please respect copyright.PENANAlPkscvdFdy
302Please respect copyright.PENANAiA0kr4ZnLh
"Do they always follow this close?" I whispered to her.302Please respect copyright.PENANAHcWPEvPIL1
302Please respect copyright.PENANAI5K2r9O4Ql
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAw0gLbcNAFt
302Please respect copyright.PENANAJXfT3FjQxX
Angel did mention the whole being watched and security thing, but I assumed it would've been a little more discreet.302Please respect copyright.PENANAoUArdH0xZj
302Please respect copyright.PENANA4noHBZIyTE
"You'll get used to it."302Please respect copyright.PENANAI8yFKNbKc0
302Please respect copyright.PENANALt0KHJwe3p
I eyed the car again, "You never get bothered by it?"302Please respect copyright.PENANAlfM7QVRWCo
302Please respect copyright.PENANActH0H7rtJO
She shrugged, "I've been working for Mr. Wolfe for over fifteen years now with my husband. We used to work under his father."302Please respect copyright.PENANAs1ZaXpOmxM
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2qUFzW6ojT
"His dad? Did he give the company to his son?" 302Please respect copyright.PENANAMy2hn6n7yx
302Please respect copyright.PENANAk3lPh77GpB
"He did after he passed away when Kalon was seventeen."302Please respect copyright.PENANAl7aaeCdlwR
302Please respect copyright.PENANAJZGCKKqK1F
I felt my chest tighten as she spoke. No wonder this guy seemed so secluded. 302Please respect copyright.PENANAJBydefTDTG
302Please respect copyright.PENANAftf1YGhxtl
"Mother?" I pushed.302Please respect copyright.PENANAfYMgB7BKL7
302Please respect copyright.PENANAaczibUjj4J
May frowned, "Never knew her. She was not in the picture and Kalon's father never married while I was working for him."302Please respect copyright.PENANAqr43YcNh3J
302Please respect copyright.PENANAsFLX9Tr5oq
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAJDCtkzOsVY
302Please respect copyright.PENANA9aj8UaN5Na
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAHnJ7fysxU3
302Please respect copyright.PENANArbA43UZ2r3
"May?" I said, confused.302Please respect copyright.PENANA8iwSoVW8jA
302Please respect copyright.PENANAxdCYSxuEul
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAY9w0MQ3htw
302Please respect copyright.PENANA3dMXBMd67a
"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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAn0RcC954Cf
302Please respect copyright.PENANAkrfCoL1PK3
"We need to go, Robbie." May yelled back and yanked the passenger door open. "Get in, please."302Please respect copyright.PENANAqlr0hDIZdY
302Please respect copyright.PENANAu1fwG3Pd1T
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAMbrHwQBbnp
302Please respect copyright.PENANAn3EEyQGCV6
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAvmx2IW7tcD
302Please respect copyright.PENANA5tYj3M6G2r
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAQTA6DD3jzm
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2RDu03GXUl
"Get in!" May ordered, causing me to jump.302Please respect copyright.PENANA5dlYk97jyK
302Please respect copyright.PENANAemTB28GElW
I climbed into the passenger side and tried to get another peep at the mystery man that the crowd was trying to get to.302Please respect copyright.PENANAWPdhxiiBIS
302Please respect copyright.PENANALbIcBxRxbD
"Who is that?" I asked in awe as the engine started.302Please respect copyright.PENANA8oHhF9QBq1
302Please respect copyright.PENANAQntrUQMI2s
May pulled off onto the street and kept her eyes locked on the road as she drove.302Please respect copyright.PENANABcUfmitvwU
302Please respect copyright.PENANAMXJoRl0aYa
"Kalon Wolfe."302Please respect copyright.PENANAn5eREqyZhO
302Please respect copyright.PENANAcRYESkiMQy
302Please respect copyright.PENANAV5pHgAYilq
