“I see you two have made up.”

Sutton and Lauren were sitting at the kitchen island together enjoying their first cup of coffee while her clothes were being washed. After last night, with only a few hours’ sleep, he needed a little perk of caffeine to get through the day. Or he would if he had something to do. He’d happily be in bed asleep if not for Lauren having to get up and go to her trucks.

When he turned his head, he saw his brother Sebastian standing at the bottom of the stairs looking at them. “Good morning to you, dear brother. And yes, we did make up. We made up all night as a matter of fact.”

Sebastian rolled his eyes at Sutton’s oversharing. “Well, good for you, I guess.” He went to the coffeepot to pour his own cup. As he did, his brother’s gaze drifted briefly over to where Lauren was sitting in nothing but one of Sutton’s oversize T-shirts.

“Her clothes are in the dryer,” Sutton explained.

Sebastian shook his head. “I have no problem with half-naked women in my kitchen. I just prefer when they’re mine.”

“It’s fun living with you, too.” He raised his mug to toast to his uptight twin.

Lauren turned toward Sebastian and studied him for a moment before looking back at Sutton. “Did you say that you two are identical twins?”

“Yep,” Sutton confirmed. “Genetically identical, socially opposite.”

“Interesting. Well, now that I have both of you in the same room, I don’t know how I ever confused the two of you.”

“I know, I’m so much more attractive than Sebastian,” Sutton teased.

“It’s not that. You do physically look alike, you just carry yourselves differently. It’s a whole different vibe. Of course, it helped your cause that I didn’t know Sebastian had a twin to begin with. It just seemed like he had a laid-back alter ego or something. You couldn’t fool me now the way you did before.”

“Is that a challenge?” Sutton teased.

“Don’t you dare,” Lauren warned with a pointed finger. “I’ve had enough of those games.”

“Don’t worry, Lauren,” Sebastian said. “Sutton doesn’t like pretending to be me. He has to comb his hair and wear decent clothes.”

“And drive boring cars and talk about boring things,” his twin quipped.

Sebastian sighed. “Do you have any brothers or sisters, Lauren?”

“No. It’s just me.”

“Ahh. Then you will never truly know the depths of what I have to deal with being the oldest of five. Three of them aren’t much trouble, but this one...” Sebastian gestured his thumb at Sutton when he got up to get more cream from the refrigerator. “Trouble from the womb.”

Sutton turned back to the two of them. “I’m a delight. Everyone thinks so, just ask around town. And it’s not like I’m a lost cause crashing on people’s couches and borrowing money. I did a damn good job as the CFO of the family business. Things were booming with the two of us at the helm. And not because we were smuggling drugs in our planes.
