around.” She says in a whisper, causing the hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end.
    “No way. There’s two of those sexy beasts?” I ask in full disbelief. Anna has never been this affected by a guy before, so maybe this is a turn for her.
    “Did I also mention there’s this new hot barista at the café where I work?” I spat out suddenly. Since we’re talking about guys, this is the perfect opportunity to let her know about Leo and how deliciously hot he is, even being a bit younger than me, I still want him to flip me over so many ways into next Sunday. There wouldn’t be a surface anywhere I wouldn’t want to be thoroughly fucked on by him. And damn it all, if my nervousness around him didn’t give it away, he knows by now that after only working with him for a short period of time, I want him desperately. Such carnal desire shouldn’t be felt in the workplace. Yet, here I am.
    “Hello! Earth to Sarah.” Anna snaps her fingers in my face to get my attention. Wow, Leo must have taken up more of my thoughts than I realized.
    “Huh, sorry, what?” I ask. “Guess I got lost in my head again, didn’t I?”
    Anna nods. “Duh. At least we now know where Jayde gets it from. Come on, spill. What’s going on in that head of yours? Or are you going to leave me in suspense over the hot coffee boy and make me stalk his bean crushing ass?”
    Sighing heavily, I examine every possible outlook of where this could go. She is not going to just let this go without me giving some sort of reasonable explanation.
    “Okay, fine. Leo is my boss’s cousin. He’s twenty-five, so much younger than I’m used to. The only reason he is working at the café is to make a few extra bucks while on break from college. For now, that’s all the information I have on him. I wish I knew more, but I don’t.” Anna looks as if she has a dreamy far-away look in her eyes, making me smile. “You like him. I can tell. You like him a lot.”
    She couldn’t be further from the truth. “No, I don’t. We work together. There’s a whole conflict of interest thing and mixing business with pleasure always ends up in disaster.”
    Anna smiles mischievously. “But what if there is lots more pleasure than business? Lots and lots of pleasure, if you catch my drift.” She winks as I roll my eyes. The thought crossed my mind more times than I’d care to admit but before I could dive into how it would never work out, there’s the sound of a door being opened and Gwen jumping from her seat excitedly as she bolts to the door. Anna and I turn to look at the same time and catch the tall, dark, brooding figure standing at the front of the office.
    Ronan’s twin brother. Holy fucking shit.

    The second I looked up and saw the identical twin brother of Ronan, I was lost. No, I was further than lost. I was so far gone even god himself couldn’t find me to bring me back. He had the same stance as Ronan, the same short military style buzz cut, but so much more muscle. Holy hell, he is a lot of man. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say he was perfect. Too damn perfect. This guy is obviously no stranger to the gym. Sarah is staring at me, gauging my reaction, as I can see out of the corner of my eye, but I ignore her.
    “Anna? You okay?” she asks but her question comes out so faint, it’s almost a whisper. Or maybe it’s because I’m so wrapped up in a stare down with Ronan’s twin, I didn’t hear her. Gwen is chatting it up with her brother and they seem to be exchanging rather intense pleasantries. Gwen walks towards us and her brother is close on her heels. When he turns around and locks eyes with me, my breath catches in my throat. What the actual fuck? I didn’t have that sudden feeling when I saw Ronan, so why am I having it with this guy? Obviously, they’re not related.
    “Guys, I’d like you to meet my other brother and Ronan’s twin brother, Ryder. Ryder, this is Sarah and
