Dayne might be making sure the boat didn’t tip and the guests ended up drowning. That would be bad for business.

She turned to him and announced, “I’m ready for my tour.”

His head twisted toward her and his forehead creased. “Sorry?”

“My tour. Wasn’t I supposed to be here at three?”

Before she could pull out her cell phone to double checkthe text, clarity filled his face. Had he forgotten already?Weird.

“Ah, yes. You must have made plans with my twin.”

“Twin,” she repeated.

The man jutted out his hand. “Welcome to the Double D. I’m Dylan Lyons, one of the co-owners. You must’ve already met my twin, Dayne.”

“He mentioned a brother but not that you’re twins.” Or maybe she missed that tidbit last night due to her nerves.

“Despite being identical, we’re not exactly the same.”

Dayne joined them and slapped Dylan on the chest. “Thankfully. Dylan is boring. Me? I’m a bundle of excitement.”

She blinked as she took them both in. They certainly were identical.

Being constantly mistaken for each other had to be a pain. The only slight differences she could see between the two were the cut of their hair, which was still very similar, and the fact that Dayne was clean-shaven.

Dylan rolled his eyes. “Enjoy your stay…” He pointed to his brother. “Only, watch this one. I suggest carrying pepper spray.”

“Pepper spray?”

Dayne cupped his hand around the side of his mouth, leaned in and stage-whispered, “His jokes are never funny.”

“That was a joke?” she asked.

Dayne shrugged. “Exactly.” He turned to her and tipped his head down. “Sorry for running a few minutes late. I got sucked into a virtual meeting against my will and I still need to go grab the UTV. Why don’t you go back inside and hang out in the lounge or grab a drink by the pool. I can text you once I’m out front with it.”

“That’s fine.Take your time.”

With a nod, his long legs ate up the ground as he headed around the exterior of the lodge and disappeared.

She had just finisheda glass of wine when she received another text.Your chariot awaits out front.

When she went back outside, she noticed that Dayne had parked a small utility-type four-wheeler only feet from the front doors. Perks of being an owner, she guessed.

The man himself was leaning back against the hood of the all-terrain vehicle with both his arms and ankles crossed. Despite him appearing bored, she couldn’t deny the man was extremely handsome, as well as sexy. Even fully dressed, it was obvious he took good care of his physique.

So did his twin.

Dayne—she assumed this time it reallywashim due to the lack of facial hair—straightened and a genuine smile grew across his face when she approached. It was infectious and she didn’t bother to control her own.

No point in being coy since the man had his fingers inside her earlier.

“I didn’t get to ask this earlier because of my brother but…good day so far?” As soon as he shoved his dark sunglasses to the top of his dark blond head, she could see the gleam in his hazel eyes.

“Can’t complain about it.”

The lines at the corners of his eyes deepened. “We aim to please.”

“Apparently,” she teased, then jerked her chin towards the vehicle. It was open on the sides but had a roof and windshield as well as knobby tires made for off-road use. “Honestly, I thought we’d be walking.”
