system.”
    “Yes, but you said that was normal.”
    “It is, but this one is really bugging me, no pun intended. I can’t figure out what it is, but something is not right. It’s not catching something, I know it isn’t.”
    “I’m sure you and your geek team can find it sooner or later.”
    He laughed. “You would think I would be used to being called a geek by now.”
    “Sorry. I didn’t mean anything by it.”
    “It’s okay. It comes with the territory.”
    “Adam, there is nothing geeky about you.”
    He stopped what he was doing and moved some papers aside. “Thanks. How do you feel?” he asked in a low tone. His eyes shifted and Jeanette followed them. Two of his co-workers walked by, looking like zombies with food and coffee in hand.
    “I’m fine. A little stiff.”
    A cocky grin crept on his face.
    “I’ll see you at lunch.” Jeanette got up and was about to leave, when she felt those strong familiar hands.
    “I forgot to introduce you to the head of the Purchasing Department. She was out the day you arrived. She’s also the one that helped me with the software.”
    “She’s a fellow geek too?” Jeanette chuckled.
    “No. But what she did do was give me ideas of what to put in the software. What info they take in, and what they need for follow up.”
    “Ahh.”
    “Come on, let’s go. By they way.” He bent down close to her ear. “Let’s get something to eat at the deli, I’m sure you’ll need more strength to get through the rest of the day.”
    She looked up at him and he smiled a playful smile. Typical cocky male.
    They reached the purchasing department and walked to a corner office. Adam knocked on the open door, then poked his head in. “Can we come in?”
    “Hey Adam. Oh, who’s this?”
    Jeanette walked in behind Adam, then came forward to shake hands with a tall brunette. “I’m Jeanette Foster, the new Chief Auditor of Operations.”
    “Oh, yes, I remember. Sam mentioned something about hiring a troubleshooter. Well, welcome aboard. I’m Laura. Excuse me, but I have a meeting to go to.”
    She grabbed her bag, a notepad, her iPad and her Day-Timer and rushed passed them. Jeanette looked at Adam who just shrugged.
    “She’s not really warm and fuzzy first thing in the morning. But she’s good at her job.”
    “That’s a nice way of saying she’s a bitch, but she’s a hard worker.”
    Adam threw back his head and laughed. It was the sexiest thing she’d ever heard or seen. She was one lucky woman.
    Jeanette almost came to a stand still. Was she lucky? How many women in this office has Adam had? She shook her head. She wasn’t going to go down that road. She enjoyed it, didn’t regret it and would probably do it again, if given the chance.
    “Hey you.”
    Jeanette didn’t realize Adam was talking to her, until she felt him shake her shoulder. “Huh?”
    “Where were you? It looked like you were someplace totally different, and it didn’t look pleasant.” Adam mused.
    “I was just thinking about this mess and how we’re going to fix it.”
    “Don’t worry. You and I are a team—in more ways than one,” he whispered and winked at her. “We’ll get to the bottom of this.”
     
    ***
     
    Adam looked at the pained expression on Jeanette’s face. It worried him. For some reason, his gut was telling him, that she wasn’t thinking about work.
    He was still on a high from this morning’s activities. He could have loved her all morning. His body couldn’t get enough of her. His soul couldn’t get enough of her. The coming together of two lost spirits, natural and spontaneous. Her body was so responsive. No woman has ever responded to his touch like her.
    It’s as if she’s been waiting for him.
    He hoped she had no regrets. But from the look on her face, it looked as though she might be reconsidering her actions. He didn’t buy her explanation, but he would talk to her about it later. Right now they had to tend to this.
    They walked back to her
