outside.
Tiny panted and barked, looking up at Ash happily. The white and tan terrier mix always got that look on his face when something good was coming.
Ash ’s curiosity got the better of him and he went to stand at the bottom of the ramp with growing expectation. The delivery pilot had procured some useful and interesting novelties for him in the past two years. Maybe this would be something fun.
He never could have anticipated what he saw next.
A silver-haired young man appeared in the ship’s hatch and looked down at Ash with a tentative smile on his face. “Hello.”
Ash stared open-mouthed as he walked down the ramp. A man? Jake brought him a man? Was he a hustler?
The young man had startling light blue eyes set in a gentle face. His skin was smooth and pale.
Wait. That matte silver hair—
Ash blinked as the young man held out his hand, and he shook it automatically. “My name is V-Lin. I’m very pleased to meet you.”
“ Ash.” Tiny began barking at their feet, staring at the new person and trying to jump up his leg. “And this is Tiny.”
“ Tiny,” V-Lin said, crouching down. He petted Tiny’s head and the dog licked his hand. “And Ash,” V-Lin said, looking up at Ash with that hopeful smile again.
Jake walked up and Ash turned to him. “Can we talk?”
Tiny scampered into the station and V-Lin followed him inside. Ash touched Jake’s arm and moved them closer to the ship so as not to be overheard. “He’s a robot?”
“Guess the silver hair’s a giveaway, isn’t it? Yeah. He’s an SDS model.”
Ash could feel his face flush. “You mean—”
“Sex and domestic services,” Jake said. “I mean, you don’t have much use for a farming robot out here do you?”
“ Jake—”
“Listen, just try him out. If he doesn’t work for you, I’ll pick him up next week.”
“I can’t afford a robot, not even to rent,” Ash said. “You think I’d be doing this for a living if I could?” He was amazed Jake would even think he had the money for this.
“Well, let’s just say this model has a few… issues,” Jake conceded. “Anyway, I’ve got to get going. See you next week!”
He sprinted up the ramp, leaving Ash spluttering. As the ramp pulled up, Jake waved cheerily. “Hope he puts a smile on that grumpy face of yours.”
Ash watched Jake’s ship lift off in disbelief. Was he serious? On the other hand—
Had he just been given a free trial with a sex robot?
He walked into the station, his heart beating fast. His mouth felt a little dry. As he shut the door behind him, V-Lin came into the front entry from the kitchen.
“I’ve put Tiny’s food in his dish,” V-Lin said. He was neatly dressed in a white shirt and dark trousers. Ash had only seen robots from afar. Aside from the uniform silver hair, their facial features and bodies were as unique as humans’ were.
This one was Caucasian and slender. Ash froze as V-Lin slowly approached him.
“Your looks are pleasing to me,” V-Lin said in a soft voice. “I hope my looks are pleasing to you, Ash.” He was close now, very close, only a foot from him.
Ash stared, unable to look away as a hand touched his cheek. The robot was shorter than he was; the top of his head came to his chin.
He started as V-Lin’s other hand found his cock. V-Lin caressed it through his clothes and Ash felt it grow and harden. “Would you like me to suck you off? I really want to do it.”
V- Lin sank down to his knees and undid Ash’s fly. His warm mouth was on his tool in the next moment and Ash bit back a cry.
How long had it been? He didn’t want to think about it. Fortunately all thoughts left his head as the robot nursed his erection to its full length, covering the head with his mouth and playing his tongue around the tip.
The robot added his hand, stroking Ash’s cock in his fist as he continued to suck the top few inches. Ash breathed, bracing himself with his hands behind him splayed against the door, trying not
