Chapter Nine

“Wake up, Wyatt.”

The familiar, dulcet tones of Wyatt’s automated alarm clock drifted lazily into his sleepy subconscious. He turned over in bed, intentionally ignoring the voice, but a very unfamiliar movement next to him startled him awake.

He automatically tensed. What the –

Oh, right. Ginger.

He relaxed into his pillow, a slow smile turning up the corners of his mouth.

Mmm. Perfect Ginger with her amazing body and her incredible sexual expertise. How long into the night had they tried out positions that he’d previously only dared fantasize about? Wyatt’s cock stirred at the memory, making him inhale sharply. Damn, he was sore.

But what a wonderful kind of soreness it was.

His eyes drifted shut and his smile broadened.

Wyatt was no virgin, but he didn’t exactly consider himself a stud, either. His position as a Tau Cetus police agent demanded a dedication that rarely left time for a social life. Still, he’d never regretted or resented his choice of profession. He was helping to keep the planet safe. It was important work he did.

And yet, at this moment, he couldn’t remember ever feeling happier. Or more content. And it was all because of the woman beside him.

“Where is she?”

Wyatt forced his eyes back open, and turned his head on the pillow. Ginger – her red hair gloriously tousled after their amazing night of sex – was sitting up in bed, her perfect breasts exposed, her gaze furiously scanning the room. A frown was etched into her perfect brow.

Wyatt reached out to trail his fingertips down the side of her forearm. Her alien polymer skin was now as familiar to him as his own. The intimate realization sent a little thrill zinging through him. “Where is who?”

“That woman,” Ginger answered, clenching her hands into fists. “The woman who dares enter your bedroom uninvited. Where is she?”

Wyatt frowned. What the hell? What woman?

The auto-alert. Ginger was talking about his alarm clock.

Ginger’s protective reaction sent another little thrill through Wyatt. Not only did she look prepared to defend him from any potential intruder, her words also conveyed a certain jealousy over the fact another woman might be in his room.

Jealousy! Imagine that. Ginger was jealous of a potential rival.

So very human-like.

“It’s not a person,” Wyatt assured her, directing his smile her way. “It’s my alarm clock. Now that it’s recorded our movement in the bed, you won’t hear her voice again. Don’t worry. She’s just a machine.”

No sooner were the words out of his mouth than Wyatt cursed himself.

As he’d feared, Ginger’s face fell. “I’m also just a machine, Leith.”

Damn. Given her newfound sentience, the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her or make her feel insecure. He laid his hand over one of her clenched fists. “No. You’re much more than a machine. You’re almost human, remember? You’re sentient.”

The look of hopefulness she gave him touched something deep inside Wyatt, and left him a little breathless. Damn, she was beautiful. And sweet. And trusting. Everything she did made him fall for her just a little harder.
