The next morning, Liv sat behind her desk at Rockford Security and did her best to concentrate on the month-end reports stacked in front of her and not her hedonistic night with Tom Bates.

She’d left before sunrise, sneaking out like a coward in the dark with only a fleeting kiss on his forehead while he snored softly, not because she wanted to play hard to get but to maintain her own sanity. Wouldn’t do to lose her head or heart over a casual office fling. Even though Jace’s inability to find anything on Tom had mostly convinced her that he wasn’t the leak, she still couldn’t get involved. He worked for her! And office romances never ended well.

So after stopping by her apartment for a quick shower and change of clothes, she’d headed to the office earlier, thinking she’d get a jump on their new clue about Malcolm and Remington.

Except now, as she sat behind her desk and crunched numbers and analyzed business reports, all she could remember was the feel of Tom’s hands on her body, the taste of his lips, the smell of his cologne that still clung to her skin despite her bath.

People arrived for work, and the buzz of conversation outside her door grew louder, drawing her out of her little fantasies and back to reality. She took a sip of her strong coffee and dug into a new pile of sales reports.

“Hey.”

Liv looked up to see the object of her most recent thoughts leaning one shoulder against her doorjamb, his tall, muscled body looking as delicious as always.

Tom gave her a sexy little half grin, his blue-gray eyes sparkling with heat. “You were gone when I woke up.”

“Yeah.” Flustered, she tucked a stray hank of hair behind her ear and fussed with her paperwork. “Lots to do today.”

“I see that.” He straightened and walked over to her desk, moving closer to lean over her shoulder and peer down at her desktop. The heat of him penetrated her simple gray pantsuit and made her yearn to be naked against him once more. “Making any headway?”

“Some.” The word emerged as more of a croak. Liv coughed and tried again. “Yeah.”

“Good.” He propped his hip on the edge of the desk beside her, tracing his fingertip down the side of her face to her jawline. As good as it felt, she couldn’t have the rest of the office know they were sleeping together. She batted his hand away. “Not now. We’re at work and—”

“And you’re the boss.” He sighed. “Yes, I know.”

Heat prickled her cheeks. She didn’t want to be that woman, the one who felt her power rested with her career, but she was in charge, and dammit, she’d worked hard to get there. Way too hard to jeopardize it all for one fantastic night of sex. And that was all it was, wasn’t it?

She exhaled and sat back, crossing her arms. He looked sexy as hell in his business-casual khakis and blue oxford button-down. The color made his already intense eyes even more mesmerizing.
