woman would deny was mouthwatering. His chest was left gloriously bare. He had broad shoulders, a lean torso and rock hard abs. The muscles on his forearms and back that flexed each time he send the ball striking over the net was more than pleasant to see. He high-fived his team members every time they scored. Isabel was fascinated by the Celtic design shamrock tattoo engraved on the back of his left shoulder. Sweat gleamed all the way down his naked back from the high adrenaline he must be feeling. Her mouth went dry and she licked her lips to hydrate them. She hadn’t realized her hungry eyes were taking their full of Luke’s appearance. Had she ever met a man more irresistible? Isabel, so caught in her own day dream of Luke hadn’t noticed when Linda followed her gaze and came to sit next to her.
    “Fantasizing about our boss?” Linda teased as she lightly elbowed Isabel back to reality.
    Isabel instantly turned cherry tomato red. “What? No I was just.. uhh.. so caught up in their game.” She tried smiling but could tell Linda wasn’t fooled.
    “Don’t worry. He’s great to look at isn’t he?” Linda sighed and sipped her wine as her eyes narrowed on Luke. “I imagine he’s a good lay. Strong muscular arms like that just make me wonder what else he can do. I know I wouldn’t mind finding out. “Linda added as she winked at Isabel and caused her to blush even more. “Too bad I have a strict rule called ‘No Sleeping with the Boss’. Plus I don’t sleep with younger men. He’s twenty-nine and I’m at the fabulous age of thirty-two” Linda laughed and playfully fluffed her hair. “Unfortunately it complicates things. And unfortunately I love my job more than I love sex. Sounds pathetic huh?” She laughed as she indulged in more wine.
    “See if it was his younger brother Andrew , I’d have no choice. That boy is sexy as sin. You’ll meet him soon I’m sure. He’s another replica of Luke. But unlike Luke, Drew doesn’t mind seducing staff or clients.” Linda continued. “Nope not Luke. He’s got his head too deep into this business.”
    “People really enjoy working for him don’t they?” Isabel realized. She was completely taken by how cheerfully they all waltzed into the office each morning.
    “Well I’ll tell you one thing the man knows how to give a great Christmas bonus that’s for damn sure. He’s very generous with his pay as well. Not like he doesn’t expect us to earn it but I can’t complain when it comes to that aspect.” Linda nodded her head. “He’s a clever man.”
    “How so?”
    “Because he made life in the o ffice so gratifying we prefer working behind our desks than resting at home.” Linda snorted. “He also knew prior to hiring, most of us were single and blood thirsty for a career versus starting a family. This way he gets more dedication from his staff.”
    Isabel hadn’t realized this. No wonder Luke was successful at such a young age. “His grandfather started the business but Luke made it what it is today.” Linda continued. “Business grew rapidly once he was in charge so he kept adding multiple new locations. Soon B. Pentagon was spread all across the nation.”
    Guess he’s got brains and beauty Isabel thought. But this she had figured out by the second week working for him.
    “There goes Rick. Always late to these events.” Linda shook her head like a mother would towards a misbehaved child. “I’m going to go grill him about those PR reports he was supposed to have emailed me yesterday to edit.” And just as quickly as she had appeared, Linda was gone.
    Isabel smiled as Linda left. She certainly was a hand full. The woman had excessive amount of energy unable to stay in one spot for too long. And what was with these people and their blunt conversations. Didn’t any of them think of censoring their thoughts before speaking? Talking about their love lives like it was as casual as exchanging recipes. She wondered if the San Diego air would
