gloss.
    Roxanne pressed her lips together to fix the damage he’d done to her makeup and swore she could taste him—salt and earth and something else that made her wish for another taste just so she could figure it out.
    Not that she would do that. Bella generally frowned on her coworkers tasting each other.
    Roxanne cleared her throat to cover her discomfort. “I can see already that you and I are going to have problems.”
    â€œNope,” he said. “Not a single one. We’re both going to do what the boss says.”
    No way was she letting a stranger into her personal life to help her make an ex-boyfriend back off. But he didn’t have to know that. “Fine. You win. We’ll meet back here after lunch and get started on your training.”
    By that time, she’d have dealt with Kurt and no longer have anything to hide. She’d throw herself into training Tanner, and in a few days, everything would be back to normal.

Chapter Two
    R oxanne “Razor” Haught obviously thought she was dealing with an idiot.
    She was wrong.
    Tanner shook his head in amusement as he followed her to the underground parking lot. She hurried out to her car, clicking over the pavement on some of the sexiest high heels he’d ever seen. The artificial overhead lighting gleamed off her perfectly styled hair, showing off several shades of golden blond that matched her wide cuff bracelet exactly. Her bare arms were subtly muscled, with a combination of strength and softness that made Tanner sweat from fighting the need to see what that felt like. The brief touch of his finger against her soft mouth was more than enough to haunt his dreams for a week. Now that he knew what her lips felt like, he was going to spend way too much time thinking about them.
    Her shiny lip gloss clung to his finger, and he couldn’t quite bring himself to wipe it away. He liked it there—a small reminder of a few brief, pleasant seconds that would never be repeated.
    Beneath her classy slacks that hid more than they displayed, her legs were probably sexy as hell. Even though he was working with her, he couldn’t help but wonder just how those legs would look if all she was wearing were those strappy leather heels.
    Not that he was ever going to find out.
    He’d known from the instant he saw her in her fancy clothes and sparkling jewelry that she was going to be trouble. Women with money always were, and office rumors claimed that she was rolling in it. Not only was she an only child who’d gained a substantial inheritance when her parents died a few years back; she also owned more land than was healthy for a person. Between the real estate and old oil money, Razor was set for life and then some.
    She was a woman used to getting her own way, but that was about to change.
    Razor slid behind the wheel of a shiny silver Mercedes and pulled out of the parking lot at the Edge. Tanner followed her, keeping his distance in the heavy lunch-hour traffic. She turned into the lot of a high-rise building and parked in a visitor’s slot.
    Tanner gave up his secret chase and found the first open parking spot he could, rather than lose her in the maze of the building. By the time she hit the elevators, he was right on her sexy heels.
    â€œWhy are you following me?” she asked without turning around.
    â€œBella told me to.”
    The elevator doors opened, and a small crowd of people got out, heading to lunch. Razor got in. When the doors slid shut, she turned and glared at him. “This is ridiculous. What harm can possibly come to me in broad daylight in an office building?”
    â€œBella seemed worried.”
    â€œBella is overprotective.”
    â€œI noticed. Possessive, too. But so long as she’s signing the paychecks, she gets to be.”
    Razor frowned, which only made him notice her mouth that much more. It was a nice mouth—soft, with just the barest sheen of lip gloss. In a mad
