Chapter Six
    Entering the workshop, which doubled as his medical lab, Bonnie wasted no time hopping up onto the metal table set to the side of the room. It amused her to see how nervous Einstein appeared, how he wouldn’t meet her eyes as he gathered some tools and equipment, how he tried to hide the fact he sported a woody.
    Cute didn’t come close to describing him. She already loved how his neatly cut, light brown hair got the ruffled appearance she was starting to realize signaled his agitation. I make him anxious. His reaction to her was so unlike the men she used to know. Most of the doctors in her past didn’t bother to hide their leering looks or temper their sexual comments. They made medical exams and tests into something dirty, touching her more than necessary, stroking and pinching for a reaction. Einstein, on the other hand, tried to get away with not palpating her at all.
    Talk about totally ruining her fun. Heck, he even gave her a sheet to wear when she stripped down, his red cheeks—so unexpected in a cyborg—the only indication that he’d caught a peek at her assets. Why she wanted him to notice her as more than a test subject she couldn’t have explained. Perhaps it was the challenge he posed. Or the fact she could tell he wanted her but fought it. Or maybe it’s just plain hormones. After all, when was the last time she’d had sex, or even wanted sex for that matter? Funny how the one guy who got her motor running—and not just the mechanical one—was the one guy immune to the sexual vibes she kept tossing his way. I guess I’ll have to try harder. But seriously, how could he not be aware of her interest? Pulse elevated, temperature running high, and her nipples pebbled, the physical indications were all there for him to see. And apparently ignore.
    At the same time she lamented the lack of sexual action, she also couldn’t forget the reason for the exam. Had the general planted a nasty surprise in her body? Was she a walking time bomb? An inadvertent spy? She needed to find out and before they met up with her sister. Knowing she was alive and in love brought such a sense of relief. Despite her fuckup, Chloe was getting her happily ever after and Bonnie wouldn’t ruin it. So despite her urge to make the testing into something more carnal, she held back and let Einstein do his job. Plenty of time to seduce her geeky scientist once they knew she wouldn’t explode or lead the military to her sister.
    Prone on his table, legs slightly spread, she let him run various scans, bored and silent, aware that the vibrations of her voice would disrupt some of the more delicate equipment. But when he finally got around to the hands-on part, with an apologetic, “Sorry if my fingers are cold,” she couldn’t help teasing him.
    “I know a way to warm them up.”
    “I’ll run them under warm water.”
    “That’s not what I was thinking. I’ve got more than enough heat right here and I don’t mind sharing,” she replied with a wink.
    “Is your temperature control malfunctioning?” he asked with a serious mien. “I don’t have one myself, the military not deeming it necessary for someone of my skills, but I’ve worked on some with the other units.”
    Bonnie almost slapped herself as he misread her once again. Surely he wasn’t that clueless? Looking at his waiting expression, she realized, yeah, he was. But how? Sure, the military snagged him young, but still, Einstein was a man, and not an unattractive one. Surely he’d dated, or at the very least had a nurse or two come on to him. “How come I get the impression you’re not too experienced when it comes to girls?”
    The fingers skimming her ribcage faltered. “My work keeps me busy and I’ve never seen a need to exert myself with the opposite sex. I have few biological needs.”
    “You’re a virgin?” No fucking way.
    The comment made him fidget. “Not exactly. I do have some
