I h my first few hours of work at Bacon and Bakin’ without any ood and much better than my last job, which had ended abruptly when I’d dropped a whole tray of food on , and I finally had a moment to catch my breath

When I glanced up frolass of water, I nearly choked The hottest man I’d ever seen had just walked in I stood there, frozen,as he made his way to a table in my section

Holy fuck Hoas I supposed to take his order when all I could do was stare?

He was several inches over six feet with dark hair, a scruffy beard, and theto cool me down

Cathy, my aunt and the owner of the café, moved closer to me as she wiped down the counter “That’s Leo He owns the tattoo shop across the street”

“Wow” I saw tattoos on his forearms where he’d pushed up the sleeves of his sweater I wondered how much more of hio, I’d noticed Devilish Ink was open again The last tione out of business

She grinned “He’s soo through coffee”

I’d lost count of the cups of coffee she’d downed since ,the word men “He likes men?”

“As et”

So he wasn’t a relationship guy I could do casual It wasn’t like relationships had ever worked for

Cathy shook her head as if she knew exactly what I was thinking “Could you really be satisfied with just one night with a man like that?”

I sighed as I kept staring I wanted to say yes, but I knew the ansas no

“He’s more trouble than you need,” she added

She was right, but he was so fucking hot If he propositioned me, how could I say no?
