name, dear lady, and I will make you believe that you must save me.”
    “Jacey,” she breathed. “Jacey Cassidy.” The way he spoke, his actions could have made him her knight in shining armor, only she didn’t believe in such things anymore, and from what she’d seen he certainly wasn’t chivalrous. “From the moment you saw me?”
    Aidan nodded. “I saw you two of your Earth days ago. You were sitting alone drinking a beverage. I believe you call such place a bar.”
    Her eyes widened. If he’d seen her two days ago, then she had to have been out much longer after her accident than she thought. She hadn’t been out to drink alone, not for several weeks, which meant he had to have seen her the night of her accident. “Turn around,” she ordered. There’d been something about the man at the bar. It was a small place and most of the patrons were regulars. The man in jeans didn’t seem to fit in with the crowd. A sinking feeling filled her.
    Aidan stepped away without question. He turned around and dropped his hands to his sides. The loose folds of his robe did little to conceal the taut globes of his ass and the long, lean legs beneath. The man in jeans across the room, the ass she’d thought looked so delicious. “I saw you there,” she whispered. “In jeans.”
    Aidan turned around. “If that is what those trousers were called, then yes, you saw me in the bar. Please, Jacey, please don’t deny me.”
    “Why?” Jacey sank to the bed, the strength suddenly gone from her limbs. She’d been abducted by an alien who had watched her beforehand. Way too much for her to deal with right now. Grief over Ebony’s recent death still tore raw wounds through her heart. Without her friend and business partner, she had lost her business and had sunk so low as to do contract work for a help desk. A warm body, that was all she was at her job, and after steering her own destiny, the blow stung. She had longed to leave that life, but for something better, not because she had no choice.
    “Because I’ve searched galaxies looking for the right female.” Aidan knelt beside her. He rested his large hand on her knee, subtle warmth filling her at his touch. “You cannot go back to Earth, Jacey, but after seeing the wonders of my planet, BelaZed, you will not want to.”
    He spoke so passionately that Jacey almost believed him. It would be far too easy for her peace of mind to throw all her troubles onto Aidan’s broad shoulders and let him handle everything. Not return to Earth? Well, that would fix the problem of her crappy job and even crappier life right there. She wouldn’t have one. Taking a deep breath, she reached out and brushed a lock of hair from Aidan’s forehead. His skin felt smooth and warm to the touch, his hair silky.
    “No,” she said softly. “You want to march in and bundle me off to your world like a good little wife. I’m not that kind of woman, Aidan. You cannot make me love you. I don’t even know you.” She slid her hand back down over his chest, where the whirring still vibrated against her palm. “I don’t even think you’re human.”
    Aidan gently clasped her hand and pulled it away from his chest. “I’m not a true-born,” he said. “I’m a domanin.” He stood, pulling her to her feet beside him. “Let me show you the wonders of my world.” Without waiting for a reply, he led her toward the curtained wall.
    “Wait. A domanin? What’s that?” Jacey dug in her heels and made him stop.
    “An android.”
    “Like Data on Star Trek ?” Jacey stared at Aidan with wide eyes. “Fully functional and all?” She laughed. She couldn’t help it and hated feeling as if she were laughing at him, but the idea seemed so silly. Even Data had looked different, not quite human. Aidan could have passed for any human and probably had when he’d come to the bar.
    He looked at her quizzically. “You find what I am funny?”
    Jacey tried to stifle the laughter. “I’m sorry. There was
