I nodded. I didn’t love the idea of talking all about it with some stranger. But if there was even half a chance that he might find her, I wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity.
“He’s the best in the business,” said Tanner as he walked around his desk.
I held my breath for a second as he leaned down. Instead of a kiss, he gave me a big hug. It was just as good as a kiss. I felt myself melt into him.
“If anyone can find something, he can,” Tanner said.
I breathed in his blueberry scent. It didn’t make me forget about Rosalie, but it was a damned good distraction. And so were the muscles in his back. And the realization that Istillhadn’t gotten my surprise.
I looked up at him. “So is it time for my surprise? I could really use the distraction.” And I was going to explode from anticipation if he didn’t tell me in the next five seconds. Unless the PI coming was the surprise. Just because he hadn’t found out anything yet, didn’t mean he wouldn’t. And now I just looked super ungrateful.
Tanner let go of me and stepped back.
Shit. He thinks I’m a monster.
“Okay, okay. I guess I’ve tortured you long enough.”
Thank God.“And…?”
“Close your eyes.”
I did.Where is he going with this?It sounded like he was walking behind his desk. Chastity must have gotten in my head, because I was about 80% sure he was gonna climb onto his desk and shove his dick in my mouth.Finally!But I totally should have put some Chapstick on. What had I been thinking coming in here with dry lips?!
It took all my self-control not to peek. Because it sounded like he was opening a desk drawer. For a condom, perhaps? Or maybe not. The Society contract made it sound like they werea condom-free organization. My heart started beating faster. What sinful things was he about to do to me?
“Hold out your hands,” said Tanner.
So we’ll start with a handjob, then.I held out my hands. It wasn’t lost on me that he thought I was gonna need to use both hands to corral him.
“Ready?” he asked.
“Yes.” I’d been ready for weeks.
“You sure?”
“Yes!”
Something cold and smooth fell into my hands. Definitely not a penis.Darn.
“Can I look?”
“Yup. Open your eyes.”

I opened my eyes and looked down at my brand new…sunglasses?
“What exactly am I looking at here?” I asked.
“Your surprise.”
“So let me get this straight. My game-changing surprise is a brand-new pair of sunglasses?” They weren’t even normal sunglasses. They were more like a weird futuristic shield for my eyes.
“Yes.” Tanner looked so pleased with himself.
“Thanks?”
