Chapter 25

  Ethan slips on a pair of snug beige rubber gloves and clenches his fists. The tiny robotic arms on the table clench their fists too. “Whoa! I can’t decide if you're a mad scientist or if the tin robot is too cute for words.” Ethan couldn't help but chuckle. “Are those the only options?” She raised her shoulders and smiled.

  He furthers to show her more features of their latest work but nothing captures her attention like him. “I've never seen you so...sexy.” He takes a look at her, smiling. “I think it’s only sexy if you find science sexy.”

  “Trust me you’re not just sexy with brains. But you’re maybe the sexiest, man alive to nerds.”

  “I can live with that title.” He leans in, behind her. His lips brushing the edge of her ear as he whispers. “I never thought I'd get my hands on you again.”
