little pet now that he’d decided to give her a smidgen of attention.
    Fat freaking chance.
    …
    “Ridley, what the hell are you doing?” Sara hurried over and grabbed the scissors out of her hand. “You look like you’re about to take a finger off. I’ve been calling your name for like five minutes.”
    Ridley blinked. Holy crap, she’d been working on the blue for the last hour. She dropped her head into her hands. “I’m sorry. I’m distracted today.” Distracted with pleasure still humming through her body after that phone call with Garrett. Or maybe it was the orgasm before she left Serve that had her so out of sorts. Between the two sessions, she’d gotten more action than she’d seen in six months.
    Orgasms that had come from Sara’s brother—the wrong brother.
    If that thought wasn’t enough to depress her, the fact a part of her really wanted to meet him tonight certainly was. “I’m a mess.”
    “Sounds like man problems.” Sara crossed her arms over her chest. “I take it your mysterious date that we’re not talking about didn’t go as well as you’d hoped?”
    “You have no idea.” It was bad enough that Garrett had hijacked her initial seduction of Will, intentional or not, but now he seemed intent on being a damn dog in a manger. He didn’t want to keep her, but he obviously didn’t want her with anyone else, either. She finally registered the grin on Sara’s face. “What?”
    “When were you going to tell me that you tried to seduce my freaking brother?”
    She should have known Sara would find out. The woman was a bloodhound when it came to picking up scraps of information and putting them together into a whole picture. It was part of what made her such an asset as part of her uncle’s team of fixers. She collected favors the way some women collected jewelry, because one day that might make a difference in a client’s case. The sheer scope of it was baffling to Ridley, but Sara loved it.
    “Well?”
    That’s right. She’d asked a question. “I thought you might try to stop me.”
    “I’ll admit, there was some eyebrow raising going on when I found out, but you are both grown adults, so I guess to each his own—no matter how traumatizing I find it.” She walked over and tugged on a scrap of blue fabric hanging off the mannequin. “So how’d it go?”
    “You know Murphy’s Law?”
    “Honey, I live by Murphy’s Law. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”
    “Yeah, it went like that.” It was on the tip of her tongue to spill the whole sordid tale, but that meant admitting she’d lost her head over the same man who’d broken her heart years ago. Garrett. Not Will.
    Sara was still watching her too closely. “You know, I never would have pegged you for holding a flame for Will. He’s so…not Garrett.”
    “Believe me, I know. That’s part of the attraction.” Though she had a hard time thinking about Will like that with her mind still all wrapped up in his twin. Garrett turned her on more than any man she’d encountered up to this point. But there was one truth she knew for a fact.
    He wasn’t for her.
    “I mean, there’s nothing wrong with dabbling with a Mr. Right-Now while you bide your time waiting for Mr. Right. But there is that rule about shitting where you eat.”
    As much as she didn’t want to get into what really happened the other night with Sara, it was obvious the little blonde knew something. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be asking all the leading questions. “Okay, fine . The truth is that I accidentally sort of hooked up with Garrett instead of Will.” Twice. No, no, the phone sex didn’t count. She refused to count it.
    “I knew it!” Sara danced in a circle, nearly taking out a rack filled with pieces for Fashion Week.
    “Seriously, do you have spies in Serve? Listening devices scattered around the rooms?” She wouldn’t put it past her friend.
    “No way. Jonah would kill me.”
    Of course she was on a first-name basis with
