only—were so sexy the air in her lungs caught. “You’d be mine forever.”
The conviction in his voice sent a shiver up her spine. “I’d love you like a
woman should be loved.”
    Wings of arousal softly stroked her belly
and then clenched, sending the sensation lower. She felt herself grow damp and
her eyes widened with surprise. Did it matter that he wasn’t real? At this
point any man would do to vanquish thoughts of Doug and Mary’s betrayal.
    Gia cleared her throat, willing the flush
of heat surely reddening her cheeks to disappear. “What would you know about
love or what a woman really wants or doesn’t?” She attributed her reaction to
the android to the turmoil of feelings raging inside her, not to the fact she
was attracted to him, which was, of course, ludicrous.
    Sure, the android might have been
programmed to locate a woman’s erogenous zones and how to insert tab A into
slot B, but he couldn’t possibly possess the knowledge or the depth of emotion,
the loving responses a woman wanted, no needed, in order to feel satisfied,
fulfilled.
    Then again, he did hold her tenderly when
she had her outburst.
    That sensual grin that made her go mushy
inside curved his mouth. Sinful. Gia could see how another woman might be
swayed by his good looks, but she was intelligent, something that most males
overlooked in her. They always seemed to start at her face and stop at her
breasts.
    “You might be surprised.” His knuckles
glided along her jaw to her chin. “Women are not looking for a man who is too
nice. You want someone you can trust but that will also provide you with
mystery, adventure and maybe even danger.” Their eyes met and she swore he
could see her, the real her. “You need someone who can take you outside your
comfort zone, teach you new ways to love a man. You want the erotic without the
judgment.”
    “Not even,” she huffed, lying to him as
well as herself. How on earth could he know that there was a darker side to
her, one that she had never admitted to anyone? This was bordering on
ridiculous and a little scary.
    His fingers smoothed down her throat,
leaving gooseflesh in their wake. Gia inhaled and slowly released the air in
her lungs as she attempted to control the burn that simmered through her veins.
    Android whispered in her mind.

Chapter Three
     
    Gia scooted down the seat but he followed
her, trapping her between his hard body and the limousine door. “Why do you
fight, or more importantly spurn what you feel?”
    Swallowing hard, she resisted the urge to
tug at the neckline of her shirt. Did someone turn on the heater, because it
was getting hotter than hell in the small confines of the car.
    Before she could comment, he continued,
“You want a man who can show you a good time, who makes you forget about
everyone and everything else when you’re around him.” He eased back a lock of
her hair and then tugged down her T-shirt to bare a shoulder before he pressed
his lips to the exposed skin.
    Electricity zapped every one of her nerve
endings. She jumped at the jolts that contracted her womb.
    Slowly, he gazed up through half-lowered
eyelids. “He has to make you laugh but at the same time feel desired.” His
tongue rasped across her skin. “Loved.” Emerald eyes reflecting raw lust
quickened her pulse.
    A warm breath fanning across her wet skin
made her gasp. “Isn’t that what every woman wants?” she asked.
    Gia wasn’t any different than any other
woman. And why was she even discussing this subject with him? Where the hell
was the button or plug to turn him off before she did something she would
regret, like strip the robot naked and make mad, passionate love to him?
    “Maybe. Maybe not. But we’re talking about
you, not every woman.” When he looked at her in that sultry manner it was as if
he saw past the outer layer, deeper, into her soul, and it scared the shit out
of her.
    She inhaled sharply. “No. What I mean—”
    “Gia, you need a man who
