forward and placing his lips on Alona’s popped into his mind. He didn’t seem to mind that image.
“You remember how to kiss, don’t you?” Zen looked at him in concern.
Maxim felt heat rise to his face as blood moved upward. “Of course I know how to kiss.” His program did contain information about kissing. He just hasn’t had to kiss anyone since his conversion.
Then a thought occurred to him that had his body responding in the most uncomfortable way. “Am I supposed to have sex with her?”
Zen gave him a shrug. “That will be up to Alona.”
Maxim’s mind was now obsessed with images of him and Alona naked. His cock hardened with need. This was another human emotion he had not felt until now. It seemed that every thought that involved Alona brought out more and more of his emotions. Fuck!
Chapter 4
Alona opened the door to her suite feeling nervous. She had to remind herself that this wasn’t a real date. Maxim would never have asked her out if the GCFA wasn’t making him, and she probably would never have agreed to going out with him if the GCFA wasn’t paying her to. Right?
She opened the door and felt her heart quicken at the sight of Maxim. He was wearing dark jeans and a tight shirt that seemed to cling to every muscle. Her lips became dry, and she couldn’t stop herself from looking him over from head to toe. The jeans fit him perfectly, hugging his hips, and his manhood was nicely outlined. He definitely had a nice sized package. Her perusal was interrupted when he cleared his throat. She glanced up and saw that he was checking her out, too. One of them needed to say something here.
“Hi.” Okay, so Alona was not well known for her communication skills.
“Good evening, Alona.” His voice was thick and warm. She liked it and wanted to hear him speak again. Then she remembered he was still standing out in the hallway while she was drooling over him.
“Please come in. I’m almost ready. I just need to grab my purse.” She moved to the side so Maxim could enter her suite. She did a quick glance around the room to make sure everything was put away and clean. She wasn’t the best housekeeper, and she rarely had people come over. Truth was, Alona was not very domestic. Her mother and father had employed chefs, drivers, nannies, and maids. Growing up with all that, Alona didn’t have anyone to really teach her how to do anything, so she took advantage of the services offered by the GCFA and had a housekeeper come in once a week. It freed up her time so that she could do more social appearances. She kept herself busy, so busy that somehow her personal life had been pushed to the backburner.
There was an awkward silent moment as they stared at one another. Then Maxim spoke. “Thank you for doing this Alona. Hopefully it won’t be too unpleasant for you. Nigel said that it would be just for ten dates. Not too bad.”
He was rambling. Was he nervous too? It made him seem vulnerable and she liked that about him. Alona gave him a small smile as she picked up her purse. “It’s no problem. I want to help however I can.”
He opened the door for her and waited for her to leave first. He placed his hand on the middle of her back. At the contact of his hand, even through her clothes, she felt an electrical shock go through her. He must have felt something too, because he suddenly stopped walking.
“Is everything okay?” Alona looked up at him with concern.
“My systems say that I am fully functioning. But when I touched you just now, I felt a strange electrical pulse. It makes no sense to me.”
She smiled at him. “I don’t think it is a mechanical thing, I think it’s a human thing.”
“I do not know what you mean.”
“Give me your hand.” She held her hand out to him and waited. When he took her hand, an electrical spark went through Alona’s entire body, making her nipples tighten. He clearly felt it again too.
“It happened again. I do not understand. My
