it was over, Lin smiled at him, announced he would make breakfast and left the room as quickly and unexpectedly as he’d entered, leaving Ash blinking, lying on his back with his heartbeat slowly returning to normal, and wondering if this was how all SDS robots operated.
As he did when it happened again after dinner. And before lunch the next day.
That night, while he and Lin sat watching the U-net news, Ash realized something was off. He didn’t like thinking of himself as an owner, but that’s what he was—and owners were the ones who decided when to have sex. Not the robots.
It had b een three days since Lin arrived. Time to make a few changes in how things were going.
When the news was over, Ash turned to Lin and cleared his throat, then said: “I’d like you to sleep in my room tonight. Uh, if that’s all right with you.”
Lin stared at him, his light blue eyes blinking, then smiled. “Of course.”
Ash breathed an inner sigh of relief. Good.
“Would you like a drink first?” Lin asked, getting up. He went to the bar on the counter between the front room and the kitchen and brought Ash back his favorite, a whiskey and tonic.
It was the stiffest whiskey and tonic Ash ever had, and the next one was even stiffer. He wondered if Lin was doing it deliberately.
The next thing he knew, Lin was telling him he would be waiting in Ash’s bed. Ash walked around the station shutting off lights and setting the security alarms, drunk and happy, anticipating his first fuck in a long, long time.
He finally finished his routine and eagerly made his way to the bedroom. Lin had left just the bedside lamp on and the darkened room felt intimate and inviting. The robot was lying on his stomach under the covers, his silver-haired head on the pillow, with his smiling face turned to Ash.
Ash undressed faster than he ever remembered undressing and pulled the covers back, getting in and lying down on top of Lin. He wanted to feel skin on skin, or skin on… whatever it was that robots had that sure felt like skin. Lin was warm and his skin simulant was so close to the real thing that Ash got turned on by the full-body contact. He moved his hands over Lin’s sides, feeling the musculature and ribs, while pushing his erect cock against Lin’s ass crack.
Lin pushed up on his knees, pillowing his face in his arms. He turned a sultry face to Ash and said, “I’m self-lubricating, so if you’re ready…”
If. Ash seized Lin’s naked hips, pulled the buttocks apart and aimed the tip of his cock at the hole. It was hard to see in the dim lighting, but he focused on getting his rod inside that tight passage as soon as possible.
Lin crooned his approval as Ash entered him, making noises like he enjoyed it. Ash wondered through his haze of lust if he really was enjoying it, or if those sweet whimpers and moans were programmed into him. He closed his eyes and slipped further in, every movement flooding his cock with wild pleasure. He wasn’t going to last long.
Finally h e was in all the way. Stopping to catch his breath, Ash released his grip on the robot’s hips and moved a hand around to grasp Lin’s cock. Reciprocating was half the fun, right? He felt around Lin’s groin area. The skin there was as smooth as his ass.
Ash ’s eyes flew open.
There was nothing there.
“What the hell,” Ash said roughly. His cock began softening inside the robot and he pulled out. “What the fucking hell .”
He pushed Lin away from him, almost in panic. Lin remained in the same position with his bare ass in the air. His face was averted.
Ash scrambled backward off the bed. “You—you freak,” he said. “Get out of my bed.” All thoughts of sex left him. No wonder the robot wanted to sleep in another room. He’d tried to hide this for as long as he could.
He stood there naked, watching Lin slowly crawl off the bed and stand with his hands over his crotch. “What are you doing?” Ash said, his voice shaky. “You’ve got
