to push his hips forward and choke the robot.
    It was over too quickly. Ash gritted his teeth, grunted, then cried out, throwing his head back. V-Lin finished him, swallowing it all to the last spasming spurt, then licking him clean.
    Ash rested his head back against the door and stared up at the ceiling. So this was a sex robot. V-Lin had felt as normal and human as anybody.
    V- Lin zipped Ash’s fly shut and stood up. Ash looked at him. Now what?
    Tiny barked, drawing their attention. The small dog stood in the kitchen doorway, wagging his tail.
    The smaller man smiled brightly. “I’ll fix us some dinner,” he said, and turned and went into the kitchen.

    Not only could he suck cock like no one else Ash had ever been with, but V-Lin could cook too.
    Ash liked simple meals and V-Lin prepared vegetables, rice and soybean loaf with just the right spices to make it taste wonderful.
    He sat at the counter and eyed V-Lin as he ate his food. Tiny was already in love with him, dancing around V-Lin as he cooked and settling into a sitting position at his feet.
    V- Lin even made dessert, which Ash never bothered to do for himself, a rich cooked pudding using spare ingredients Ash had in his pantry. “You’re very good at this,” he told V-Lin, and V-Lin looked at him with surprise. “Thank you,” he said finally, in a pleased tone.
    Ash lifted his mug and drank his coffee, wondering at the robot’s reaction. One would think he’d never heard praise before.
    Tiny came padding over to Ash and gazed up at him, tail bobbing back and forth. “Oh,” Ash said. “He needs his walk.”
    “Don’t worry about me,” V-Lin said, that smile on his face again. As he spoke, he was already doing the dishes. “I will be fine here.”
    Ash got the leash and went outside with Tiny. He crouched down and fastened the leash to the dog’s collar, then they set off for their evening walk.
    When they returned, Ash found V-Lin busy washing the windows. He’d also set the auto-vacuum unit to high and the unit was zooming around the front room, making a left turn into the hallway as Ash watched bemusedly.
    “ It’s okay. You don’t have to do this.”
    Th e robot turned to him, smiling. “It’s fine. I enjoy it. After the windows, is there anything else you’d like me to clean?”
    “Uh—”
    “I’ve organized the pantry and mopped the kitchen floor. I also made a list of cleaning supplies that you need.”
    “Listen—”
    “Would you like me to draw you a bath? Or perhaps you prefer bathing in the mornings—”
    “Please. It’s okay,” Ash said, holding up his hands.  “Relax, all right? I don’t need all this done right now.” He was about to suggest they sit on the couch and talk since they’d only just met, but the expression on the robot’s face stopped him cold.
    V- Lin was frozen in place, those light-blue eyes staring at him wide-eyed. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I’ve upset you.” He looked scared to death.
    “No,” Ash said. “It’s fine.” He came around the counter and into the kitchen and V-Lin began backing away from him. Ash realized the robot was misunderstanding and he was making things worse.
    He reached out and took hold of V-Lin’s upper arms. “Calm down. Breathe. It’s all right. I’m not angry. I just thought we might sit on the couch and talk. Okay?” Ash gazed into the robot’s eyes with what he hoped was a reassuring look.
    He kept a light hold on V-Lin’s arms and slowly the robot relaxed. V-Lin nodded, and Ash felt himself breathe easier too.
    They sat down on the couch and Ash began by asking if V-Lin was his full name. The robot replied that he’d been named after his prior owner’s favorite astronomer, Erich Von Linneman. “Mind if I just call you Lin?” Ash asked. “V-Lin is a mouthful.” “Yes, that would be fine,” the robot replied.
    Ash then asked if he’d lived offworld before. Most robots were still employed on Earth, though it wasn’t unusual
