                         Thirty-Three
     Ardin was seated in the living area. He still couldn't walk.
He  called  Glissent  who left his cabin to  join  him.  He  knew
Glissent was just sitting in his cabin alone, as he usually  did.
When Ardin was in the ship's computer, he could see into all  the
cabins. He knew Glissent sat in the same position, unmoving. Once
he  had done it for two days. It saddened him to see Glissent  so
alone.  Ardin found that terribly depressing. Ardin knew  he  was
deeply loved by Tren and possibly by Ali. Glissent was only a few
meters away, but he was completely unloved.
     "Glissent, have you ever had sex?"
     "No,  Ardin. I'm a robot. I don't have reproductive  organs.
What would be the point?"
     "It is extremely pleasurable."
     Ardin  had  developed  a program which triggered  an  orgasm
after  his penis was stimulated for more than thirty seconds.  He
could  alter  the time to orgasm, as well as the portion  of  his
body  that triggered it. He tried it on a finger. He stroked  his
finger for thirty seconds and had a very satisfying orgasm.
     "I've  developed a sex program that is really great. I don't
have  anyone to share it with. It wouldn't mean anything to  Tren
or Ali. Are you interested in trying it?"
     "Yes."
     "Download program Ardin fourteen from the ship's computer."
     Glissent did it and said, "I have."
     "Can you make your penis erect?"
     "I suppose. Should I?"
     "Yes."
     Ardin watched Glissent become erect. His penis extended  out
of a sheath.
     "Set the program input to your penis."
     "Done."
     "Stand in front of me, will you?"
     Ardin leaned forward and began licking his erection. Then he
took it into his mouth.
     After thirty seconds, Glissent gasped. "Oh! Oh!"
     Ardin stopped.
     "It's great, isn't it?"
     "Yes! Oh, yes!"
     "You liked it?"
     "It  was  incredible!" Glissent paused.  "I  always  thought
pleasure programs were disgusting."
     "It  probably  would  be if you spent all  your  time  alone
running them, one after another. When you are giving pleasure  to
another person, as well as receiving it, it is great."
     "I  see your point, but what pleasure did you receive out of
it?"
     "I enjoyed pleasing you. Making you happy."
     "Yes,  I  see.  I  am  starting  to  understand  why  Tren's
stepfather,  a  robot,  wanted to be in  a  relationship  with  a
biological. They enjoy pleasing each other."
     "And there is love, too."
     "I  have not experienced that. I have known robots who have.
They speak very highly of it."
     "I  hope you find it. Who knows? Maybe you will find  it  on
this ship."
     "With you?"
     "With  any  of  us, or all of us. We will  probably  all  be
together a very long time. Tren, Ali, and I are a family.  I  can
see you becoming part of it if you are with us constantly. How do
you feel about that?"
     Glissent  thought. He had never felt the need  to  be  in  a
family. On the other hand, what Ardin said was true. In this tiny
shared  world  of  theirs on this ship, they  were  all  intimate
associates.
     "Ardin, I really have no idea. This is something new for me.
I  am  not opposed to the idea, but I don't know what is involved
or whether I would like it."
     "Do you have any friends?"
     Glissent paused.
     "I don't suppose I do."
     "Is that normal for robots? I have never known one."
     "Robots  vary  as  much as biologicals.  Consider  how  many
different races build them and for how many different purposes. I
have  known  very  social robots, as well as completely  unsocial
ones."
     "Which do you consider yourself?"
     "I  suppose I am more unsocial. I don't dislike contact with
others, I just have never sought it."
     "Well, if you are happy, I see no reason to change. We  will
respect your desire to be alone."
     "I don't really have a desire to be alone."
     Glissent  realized he didn't have a desire  to  be  together
either. He thought about how to explain it.
     "I  have  never had what most would call a personal life.  I
have  only cared about my career. I spend my free time trying  to
become  more capable. However my career is now very different.  I
am  not seeking improved job opportunities. I have tied myself to
you  and your family. I think a personal life is inevitable while
I  am  with you. I am not opposed to that; I am curious. I  don't
want you to think I wish to spend all my time alone in my cabin."
     Ardin  didn't  know what Glissent wanted.  It  sounded  like
Glissent didn't know either.
     "Can we have sex again?"
     Ardin grinned.
     "Sure. Tell me, do you prefer looking like an Eosophin?"
     "I  have been wondering whether it makes any sense for me to
have  this  shape. It was nice because I looked like an  Eosophin
for  the first time and I had been among them my entire life. But
who knows whether I will ever even see another Eosophin again?  I
work for Tren and he is a Human. Taking the shape of a Human or a
Gorg makes more sense. What do you think?"
     "I  agree.  Human  or  Gorg, unless  you  have  a  different
preference."
     "I would prefer Human, I think."
     "And now for more sex. Come closer, will you?"
     Glissent stepped forward and Ardin took him into his  mouth.
He sucked and soon Glissent had the second orgasm of his life.
     Afterwards, Glissent asked, "Will you help me decide what  I
should  look  like? I don't know what Human appearance  would  be
best."
     "I  will  do that. I will let you know when I have  come  up
with a look for you. I am learning how to add shapes to the shape
library  we received from Eralta. As soon as I complete  one  for
you, I will let you know."
     "Thank you, Ardin."
     "You are welcome, Glissent."
     "Tell me, do you want to continue having sex? Not only  with
me, but possibly with Tren?"
     "Yes. I loved it."
     Ardin  continued refining his sex program.  He  added  sweat
production,  and  changed  the orgasm program  to  intensify  the
pleasure  with  each  ejaculation,  rather  than  just  giving  a
continuous pleasurable feeling.
     He  wondered if he could simulate breathing. He checked  his
body's  manual  and found it was extremely simple.  He  made  the
change  and  looked  down. He saw his chest  rise  and  fall.  He
grinned. He wasn't really breathing, but it certainly looked like
he was.
     Ali  opened the door of the Pistol and he held it  open  for
Tren.
     An enormous Gorg said, "Hey, Ali! Welcome back!"
     Tren  stared at him. He was good looking, as well  as  huge.
His  fur  was  black, while the skin on his face was dark  brown.
Tren watched his prick become stiff.
     "Thanks, Sil. This is my mate, Tren."
     "Tren, Sil owns the Pistol."
     Tren  was looking at Sil's cock. The head was extending  out
of the foreskin as he watched.
     "Tren,  that's  not his face." Sil and Ali laughed  as  Tren
looked sheepish.
     Ali  pulled Tren's shirt off and then pulled down his pants.
Tren  stepped out of his shoes. He handed Sil Tren's clothes  and
then pulled his own off.
     "So what do you like to do sexually, Tren?" Sil asked.
     Then he sniffed Tren.
     "Oh! I smell what you like to do on your breath."
     "Tren has a hungry mouth and cunt. I promised him many  Gorg
pricks at each end."
     "Is that right, Tren."
     "Yes."
     "And you swallow?"
     "Swallow what?"
     "Yes, he swallows every drop."
     "Oh! That's my favorite part," Tren said with a grin.
     "Damn!  You are a lucky bastard, Ali. Having your own  prick
sucker."
     Tren  reached  for Sil's cock and Sil smiled  at  him.  Tren
knelt and licked it. He peeled the foreskin all the way back  and
lapped at the head until Sil's juices were flowing.
     "You want a mouthful of my spunk, baby?"
     "Oh, yeah!"
     Tren  could  get about half into his mouth. He sucked  while
stroking  the  shaft. Sil got Ali caught up on  news  while  Tren
sucked Sil.
     "Ocks and Lir are here."
     "Really? I thought Lir disapproved of the Pistol."
     "His  girl  left  him  and he decided this  is  a  wonderful
place."
     While they were discussing mutual friends, Sil ejaculated in
Tren's mouth. He didn't even pause in his conversation with  Ali.
After Tren swallowed all of it, he started to pull away.
     "You  aren't  finished, yet, baby," Sil said to  him  as  he
pulled Tren back to his prick.
     Tren continued sucking him. After a few minutes, Sil groaned
as  he filled Tren's mouth a second time. Sil pulled Tren up  and
wrapped  his  arms  around him. They kissed while  Sil  pushed  a
finger into Tren's hole.
     "You feel good in my arms, baby."
     "Thank, Sil. You are quite a male."
     "Look  at my prick, baby. It's still hard. Are you going  to
let me fuck you?"
     Tren  grinned at him and turned around. Sil pulled him  back
onto  his prick. They both groaned as it slowly entered him. Tren
had  lubed  himself up before they left the ship. Sil then  began
thrusting slowly.
     "How often do you get this, Ali?" Sil asked.
     "Usually eight or nine times a day. Sometimes more."
     "Fuck! I don't get that!"
     Sil grabbed Tren's hips and started fucking him faster. Tren
reached for Ali's prick and Ali let Tren suck on it. Tren stroked
Ali's  balls  as  he  sucked. Sil's heavy balls  slapped  against
Tren's balls, which was a little painful.
     Sil began moaning.
     "I am going to breed your mate, Ali."
     "Do it. I promised him a lot of spunk."
     Sil  moaned  as he pushed his prick as far as he could  into
Tren. Tren felt Sil's cock throb inside him as he came. Tren felt
Sil's  cock soften a little and Sil pulled it slowly out of  him.
Sil smiled as he saw his seed leaking out of another male's mate.
There  was always something extremely hot about that. Ali  pulled
his  prick  out of Tren's mouth. Sil then turned Tren around  and
kissed him again.
     Sil pulled back.
     "Baby,  there  are  twenty-two males here tonight  who  need
their balls drained. Will you help them?"
     Tren laughed, nervously.
     "Twenty-two? I will do my best."
     "Good boy."
     Ali  took Tren's hand and they walked into the club. As they
entered  the dimly lit room, all eyes turned towards  them.  Tren
saw  that  several males started stroking themselves  while  they
looked at him.
     One of the walked up to them.
     "I am Geo."
     Geo  was  shorter than Ali, but still a little  taller  than
Tren.  He had a massive chest. The hair on his body was a lighter
shade  of brown than Ali's. Tren looked at his prick. He  thought
it was beautifully shaped.
     "I am Tren and this is my mate, Ali."
     "I am happy to meet you. Tren, I smell spunk on your breath.
Is there any chance I could be smelling my spunk on your breath?"
     "Geo, I think you will smell it very soon."
     Tren knelt and began sucking Geo.
     "I don't recognize you, Geo," Ali said. "Are you military?"
     "No. I am a police officer in town. A friend of mine told me
about this place. This is my first time here. You don't mind that
I am about to fill your mate with my spunk?"
     "No. Tren loves spunk. The more you give him the happier  he
will be. Right, Tren?"
     Tren pulled off the police man's cock.
     "Yes."
     Tren rubbed Geo's cock over his face.
     "Damn! Your mate loves my prick!"
     "Luckily for us, Tren loves Gorg pricks."
     Tren pulled off again.
     "I have never sucked a police officer."
     "Have you ever been fucked by one?"
     "No." Tren grinned up at him. "Do you know any who might  be
willing?"
     "Every single one of them. And that includes me."
     "Good."
     Tren  went back to sucking. After a few minutes, he  pressed
his face in the Gorg's groin and took a deep sniff.
     "Damn, you smell good."
     "I wish my wife was as enthusiastic."
     Tren wanted his come, so he began stroking him rapidly.  Geo
grunted  as  his  come  shot into Tren's mouth.  There  were  six
powerful  bursts and then they lessened. Tren gulped rapidly  and
managed  to  swallow all of it. He squeezed the last bit  out  of
Geo's cock and licked it off him. He wiped his mouth and stood.
     "Thanks, Geo. That was delicious."
     Geo grinned.
     "You really liked it?"
     "I loved it!"
     "Do you want more?"
     "I want as much as you want to give me."
     Geo  wrapped his arms around Tren and kissed him. While they
kissed, Ali pushed his prick into Tren and fucked him slowly.
     A group of Gorgs gathered around them and stroked themselves
as they watched.
     "Ali!" a Gorg called.
     Ali pulled out of Tren. He looked at his prick and saw Sil's
spunk all over it.
     "Baby,  will  you  clean  my prick  off?  It  will  be  very
uncomfortable if Sil's spunk dries on it."
     Tren  grinned  and knelt. He licked all the come  off  Ali's
cock. He heard Geo moan as he watched him.
     Tren stood and saw a new Gorg was with them.
     "How are you, Ali? Are you back to stay?"
     Geo  wrapped his arms around Tren and he leaned against Geo.
Geo  ran  his hands over Tren's chest and belly. Then he  nuzzled
Tren  behind  his  ear and then began licking. Tren  giggled  and
wrapped a hand around Geo's cock.
     "Hello,  Ocks. No, I am just here to get a divorce. This  is
Tren, my mate."
     Tren  looked  at Ocks who was taller than Ali,  but  not  as
wide. He was still very muscular, though."
     "I am pleased to meet you, Ocks."
     "You, too, Tren."
     "How did the two of you meet?" Ocks asked.
     "Tren and his husband were at a bar on Aransas. I walked  by
them  and  they called me over. Tren's husband asked me  to  show
Tren  my  prick.  Then Tren sucked it. Then  I  fucked  him.  And
then...what happened after that, Tren?"
     "I think I sucked you five more times."
     "Yes, that sounds right."
     "His husband didn't mind?"
     "No, he helped!"
     "Damn,  you  are  lucky!  I thought you  were  miserable  on
Aransas."
     "I was until I met Tren and Ardin."
     Tren  wrapped  his  hand around Ock's  prick.  Ocks  sighed,
happily. Geo fingered Tren's hole before pushing his finger  into
Tren.  Tren  stroked Ocks a few times and then  knelt  and  began
sucking. He felt Ocks' balls and could tell they were full.  Ocks
began moaning while Tren pleasured him. Tren stopped sucking  and
licked  Ocks' balls for a while. Then he returned to sucking.  He
wanted  Ocks' come, so he sucked hard. Ocks groaned as  his  come
shot  into  Tren's mouth. Tren gulped as it filled his mouth.  It
slowed and Tren stood up.
     Geo  was still standing there. He pulled Tren close  to  him
and whispered in his ear.
     "Will you let me fuck you, Tren? Or do you want to eat  more
of my delicious spunk before I breed you?"
     "Tasty spunk first."
     Geo grinned as Tren knelt and sucked him again. Geo caressed
Tren's head with both his hands as he was sucked.
     He said to Ali, "This is a great place!"
     Ali and Ocks laughed.
     Tren  stroked Geo's balls and it sent him over the edge.  He
sighed as he came again.
     Tren stood and wiped his mouth and smiled at Geo.
     "Do you want to fuck me now?"
     "I want to marry you now."
     They all laughed.
     "Why don't we put Tren in a sling?" Ali asked.
     "Good idea."
     Ali, Geo, and Ocks walked with him to a pad hanging from the
ceiling. Ali picked up Tren and laid him on the pad.
     "Put your legs here."
     Tren put them where he pointed.
     "If  you  hang  your head off the other end,  you  can  take
pricks at both ends."
     "I want Geo to fuck me first."
     Tren  took Geo's hand and Geo bent down and kissed him.  The
other  Gorgs walked over to them. As soon as Tren hung  his  head
off the end, a Gorg pushed his prick into Tren's mouth. Tren felt
Geo's  prick  at  his  hole. He pushed into him  and  both  Gorgs
started  alternated their thrusts into him. Tren  could  see  the
balls  of the Gorg whose cock was in his mouth. They occasionally
struck  his forehead. A Gorg moaned and Tren's mouth filled  with
come.  He watched the balls jerk as the Gorg came. Then  he  felt
Geo's cock throbbing in his cunt. He removed it and another  took
its place. Another prick was inserted into his mouth and it began
again. They finished and they were replaced by two others.
     Geo  stood next to Ali. He ran a hand over Tren's chest  and
belly.
     "You are very lucky, Ali. Tren is the perfect spouse."
     "I know."
     "I  have  never wanted a male lover before, but if Tren  was
single, I think I would do just about anything to convince him to
be mine."
     "I  felt the same way. I fucked males and let them suck  me,
and  loved it, but romance? Never. Once I met Tren, I knew  there
would  not be females in my bed any time soon, if ever. I haven't
fantasized about a female since I met him."
     "Are Humans very different from Gorgs, personality-wise?"
     "No. Tren and his Human husband, Ardin could be Gorgs."
     Geo  took Tren's prick into his mouth. It was another  first
for  him. He had never before had any desire to suck a prick.  He
sucked  carefully. He didn't want to hurt him with his teeth.  He
sucked  for  a while before Tren came. It was the first  time  he
ever had spunk in his mouth. It had an odd taste. He wondered  if
Gorg spunk tasted the same. He didn't plan to find out, though.
     Tren  lost track of time. He started counting and  then  got
distracted and forgot how many there had been. Periodically,  the
set of balls he could see changed, but he could see nothing else.
Someone held his hand most of the time. He figured it was Geo who
seemed extremely affectionate. He had no idea how many had fucked
him, or who they were. Over the course of the evening, Ali sucked
him twice, swallowing Tren's load both times. Then Ali's cock was
in his mouth. Ali fucked Tren's mouth until he came, too.
     Ali pulled out.
     "My neck, throat, mouth, and ass hurt."
     Ali chucked.
     "I wonder why."
     He  helped Tren up. Tren stood and spunk drained out of  his
ass.  He started to lose his balance, but Ali caught him  on  one
side and Geo on the other. They held him up.
     "You should have told me you were sore, baby."
     "I'm fine, I just need a break."
     "A break? You want more?"
     Tren grinned.
     "Maybe. Actually, I feel bloated."
     A lot of Gorgs laughed. Tren chuckled.
     Tren  rested his head on Ali's broad chest. Geo ran  a  hand
over  Tren's butt. He slid his hand in the crack and Tren  moaned
and pushed back. Geo pushed two fingers into his cunt and watched
the spunk drain out of Tren's ass. Some of that was his.
     "Damn, Tren. I want you."
     "Will your wife mind?" Tren asked, chuckling.
     "Who cares?"
     "Are you here every night?" Geo asked.
     "No. Our ship just arrived this afternoon," Ali told him.
     "Will you be back tomorrow night?" Geo asked.
     Tren thought about it.
     "No. I don't think I could handle it two nights in a row."
     "Yes. You probably do need time to recover."
     Tren reached back and wrapped his hand around Geo's cock.
     "Do you still want it, Tren?"
     "I know I shouldn't, but I do."
     "Why  shouldn't you? Your mate doesn't mind. And I  am  very
happy you want me."
     "I mean because you are happily married."
     "Who said anything about happily? I doubt many happy married
males come here."
     "Oh."
     "May I kiss you again?"
     "Sure, Geo."
     Geo  took  Tren in his arms. He pressed his mouth to  Tren's
and  pushed  his thick tongue into Tren's mouth. They kissed  and
both  moaned as they held each other. He fucked Tren  while  they
kissed.   Geo  pulled  back  slightly  and  licked  Tren's   face
thoroughly. Then he kissed him again.
     "Ali!  You are back!" a Gorg shouted as he walked  into  the
club.
     Ali walked over to talk to him.
     "Do you want to sit down?" Geo asked Tren.
     "Yes."
     They  walked to a chair and sat. Geo pulled Tren  close  and
Tren yawned as he leaned against him. Geo nuzzled him behind  his
ear.
     "Was that you holding my hand when I was in the sling?"
     "Yes. I hope you don't mind."
     "No, Geo. Your wife is a very lucky female."
     "She doesn't seem to agree."
     Tren yawned, again.
     "You can take a nap, if you want. I will hold you."
     "Thanks, Geo. That sounds nice."
     Tren  leaned  his head against Geo. Geo ran his  hands  over
Tren's chest.
     "You  are the first alien I ever thought was beautiful.  You
are the first male I ever thought that about."
     Tren smiled.
     "I wish you were mine, Tren."
     Tren  turned his head back and they kissed again. Then  Tren
laid  his  head on Geo's shoulder and fell asleep. Geo  held  him
tightly and sniffed at his hair. Tren felt wonderful in his arms.
He  decided he could never be happy with his indifferent wife now
that  he  had  met Tren. He would keep searching until  he  found
someone  like  Tren. He leaned his head against Tren's  and  fell
asleep, too.
     Ali woke them. Tren smiled at him and got up.
     "Can I see you again, Tren?" Geo asked.
     "I'm  not sure. I am not all that happy about ruining  Ali's
marriage. I don't want to ruin two."
     "Tren,  my  marriage  was never good," Ali  told  him.  "You
didn't  ruin it. It was never much to begin with. We didn't  even
live on the same planet!"
     "My  wife  complains  constantly about me  stroking  myself,
despite the fact that I tell her it is because she never wants to
have sex," Geo said.
     Geo asked Ali, "Do you get as much sex as you want?"
     Ali looked at Tren and smiled.
     "Yes, Tren keeps me completely satisfied. I lost count today
at fourteen orgasms."
     "Really?"
     "Yes. I worry about satisfying him, though."
     "Don't, Ali. I am completely satisfied, too."
     "What's the name of your ship?" Geo asked.
     "The Ardin."
     "Would you mind if I come to see you?"
     "I guess that would be fine. Ali?"
     "It's fine with me."
     Tren looked around.
     "Where is Ocks?"
     "He  has  to go to work in a few hours. He left to get  some
sleep."
     "I need to leave," Geo said.
     Tren looked at Geo.
     "I don't suppose..."
     "Yes!" Geo grinned. "I washed it after I fucked you the last
time."
     Tren knelt and began sucking him.
     "I thought your mouth was sore!" Ali said.
     Tren pulled away.
     "Geo, can you give me something to sooth my throat?"
     "I know just the thing!"
     Geo  and  Ali laughed. He swallowed Geo's cock and continued
sucking. Tren stroked his balls. After a few minutes, Geo groaned
as he came for the sixth time inside Tren.
     When he finished, he pulled Tren up and kissed him.
     "Damn!  I had more sex with you tonight than I had  with  my
wife the first week we were married!"
     He hugged Tren and then left. Geo was happy. He knew exactly
what  he  wanted for the first time. Now he just needed  to  find
him.
     "Are you ready to leave, baby?" Ali asked.
     Tren looked around. It looked like most had left.
     "I think so. I'm exhausted."
     "Do you like Geo?"
     "He  seems  very nice and I think he is attractive.  And  he
seems very affectionate. It's a shame he is in a bad marriage."
     "He  likes  you a lot. Would you like to have sex  with  him
while he is wearing his uniform?"
     Tren moaned and Ali laughed. Ali watched Tren become erect.
     "Maybe  while he is directing traffic, you could  kneel  and
suck him. Get a mouthful of police spunk."
     Tren  moaned  again. Ali knelt and sucked  Tren.  He  pushed
three  fingers into Tren's cunt while he sucked him. Tren  pulled
out of his mouth. His cock was sore.
     Ali  stood and hugged Tren. They walked to the front to  get
their clothes.
     "You did it, baby. All twenty-two. Thank you," Sil said.
     Tren put on his shirt, but decided against pants. Spunk  was
still running down his legs.
     "Do you think anyone will mind? I am sure it is late."
     "Let's rinse you out and clean you up."
     Ali  took  his hand and they walked to a washroom  near  the
entrance. There was a stall with a hose. Ali turned on the  water
and  Tren pulled off his shirt. He got in the stall and  ran  the
warm  water over his legs. He pushed the hose into his  hole  and
cleaned  himself out. Then he washed the rest of him.  Ali  dried
him with a towel. He got dressed and they left.
     Tren fell asleep on the way back to the port. He woke up  in
bed as Ali was climbing in with him.
     "You carried me in?"
     "Yes. You were worn out."
     Tren snuggled up to Ali and he wrapped his arms around Tren.
"I love you, Ali."
     "I love you, too, baby."
     Tren remembered Sil and Geo mentioning smelling come on  his
breath.
     "Does my breath always smell like your come?"
     Ali grinned and ran a hand possessively over Tren.
     "Yes, it does. Isn't it wonderful?"
     Tren chuckled.
     "Yeah, I guess it is."
     "I've  been smelling me on you since that first day we  met.
It keeps my prick hard."
     "And that is a very good thing!"
     Ali  chuckled and Tren kissed Ali's hand. They quickly  fell
asleep.

                           Thirty-Four
     Early the next morning, Luregos' floater stopped at the port
entrance.  He walked into the main building. A female  glared  at
him, but he was used to being despised. He ignored her. He walked
into  the port restaurant and ordered juice. He sat and read  the
manifests of the newly arrived ships on the computer. He did this
each morning, waiting for his revenge. Would this be the day?
     A belligerent looking male walked up to his table.
     "Yes?" Lure asked.
     "You  should be in prison. The fact that you raped a fifteen
year old and sit here a free person is a disgrace."
     "Thank you for offering your unwelcome opinion."
     The  male growled and walked away. Each time his life reared
up  and bit him like this, he wondered, does no one care that Tra
never once asked him to stop, or even complained during the  act?
That she gave him every impression that she was enjoying it? They
had  sex  twice! It didn't appear that they did. Once he had  his
revenge, it would not matter. His desire for revenge was the only
thing  keeping  him going. He no longer had a career,  money,  or
even much desire to live. He ached for revenge, though.
     He  saw  him in his mind. The image was always the same.  It
was  Kibiligon saying 'Denied'. It was in response to his  asking
Tra,  who  was  his  supposed victim, to  testify  and  give  her
version.  'Denied', as though the truth didn't matter. The  trial
was  a  travesty. Tra did not utter a word during the trial.  Her
mother  described  the  alleged  attack  and  answered  all   the
questions. As if it was the mother he had fucked. Tra, the  young
female, looked terrified during the trial. Luregos saw her  frown
when  her  mother answered some questions. When he  pointed  that
out, he was ordered to keep silent.
     Tra's  father, Kes, glared furiously at him the entire time.
Seeing his rival like that was the only thing in his life that he
enjoyed  at that point. They had always despised each  other  and
Kes  had tried to derail Lure's career twice. Kes had fought like
hell  to  prevent Lure from being promoted to general. He claimed
Lure was unfit. Him, unfit!
     Still, there was enough question in everyone's mind that the
outcome was in doubt. Tra had told a friend that she thought Lure
was  sexy.  All  doubt disappeared when Aligaron  testified.  Ali
portrayed  him  as  a  male obsessed with a female.  He  repeated
things he was asked not to repeat, things Luregos had told him in
confidence. He told all of Gorga that Lure stroked himself openly
in front of Ali, while he described what he would do to Tra if he
had the chance. Ali humiliated him in front of the entire planet.
     Ali had been his personal guard and he used his position  to
convict Luregos.
     Lure only served five days in prison because someone made  a
mistake when entering the sentence. His sentence was to have been
five  years.  He was released before anyone noticed the  mistake.
Because  he had served the sentence, it could not be changed.  He
escaped prison but not the conviction.
     Then  he  saw it. The Ardin! Ali landed the day  before!  He
stood suddenly. He looked to see where the ship was located. Then
he  walked out to Ali's ship. He had everything prepared. He felt
in  his pocket for the device. He checked another pocket for  the
weapon. He carried them always. Soon he would have his revenge.
     Ali  woke Tren and told him he was going to talk to his wife
about getting the divorce.
     "Good luck!"
     "I may need it."
     Ali  walked slowly towards his home. His wife Til should  be
home  since it was not a work day. He took the comm unit  out  of
his pocket and called Til.
     "This is Til."
     "Til, it's Ali."
     "Are you here? On Gorga?" she asked him.
     "Yes. I need to see you."
     "Now is really not a good time."
     Ali heard a male voice in the background.
     "Who is there with you, Til? Is it your father?"
     "Look,  Ali. This isn't how I wanted to tell you, but,"  she
sighed. "I am seeing someone else. I am sorry."
     "Oh. Really? Are you happy?"
     "What? Well, yes. Dis is wonderful! I had hoped to break  it
to you more gently, not to mention more gradually."
     "That is all right, Til. I am happy for you, if he makes you
happy."
     "He does. Ali, thank you for taking it this way."
     "I met someone, too. I felt a little guilty about it."
     Til laughed.
     "On Aransas? Well don't!"
     "Do you want a financial settlement in the divorce?"
     "No,  Ali. Dis has money. So do I, for that matter.  Just  a
simple split."
     "Is it Disterigus 3?"
     "Yes."
     "You can have the house."
     "You  don't  need to do that. We can sell it and  split  the
money."
     "I  guess we just need to go to Government House. When would
be a good time for you?"
     Til chuckled.
     "Ali, this is not how I imagined our conversation would  go.
My  best  case  scenario had you hating me for the rest  of  your
life!"
     "No. We married to please our parents. I don't mean I didn't
care for you. I did and I do. It's just."
     "I  know  exactly  what  you  mean.  We  would  have  chosen
differently."
     "Yes. Exactly. I like you. I have always liked you. I wasn't
miserable, I just.wasn't excited."
     "That is how I feel, Ali!"
     Ali laughed.
     "Hold on, will you?"
     "Sure."
     Ali heard Til talking to Dis in the background.
     "Do you want to go now?"
     "Sure."
     "We  will  meet you there. Dis wants to pay for the divorce.
He is even more relieved than I am."
     "That's fine."
     "See you."
     Ali disconnected and waved for a lift.
     Ali  arrived first and waited for his wife. When they walked
in, Til walked over and hugged Ali. "Thank you, Ali."
     "You  don't need to thank me. I was going to ask you  for  a
divorce."
     Til and Dis laughed.
     "It is good to see you again, Dis."
     "You, too, Ali."
     Ali asked, "Does your father know about Dis?"
     "Yes.  He  told  me to forget about him. He said  you  would
never divorce me."
     Ali laughed.
     They walked to the office where divorces were granted. Since
both  spouses agreed to the divorce, all that had to be done  was
complete  forms-long, detailed forms. After  they  submitted  the
completed forms, they were officially divorced.
     As they were leaving, Ali turned to Dis.
     "Weren't you married to a male at one time?"
     "Yes.  Stu. It didn't work out. The second time I came  home
and found him having sex with someone else, I divorced him. Also,
he was buying them gifts with my money. Can you believe it?"
     Ali shook his head.
     "I  met someone, well, actually two males on Aransas and  we
became close. I love them both," Ali told them.
     "You are in a threesome?" Til asked.
     Ali looked at Dis and thought Dis looked a little jealous.
     "Yes."
     "Wow! You've changed!"
     They all laughed.
     "Can we meet them?" Til asked.
     "I will ask if they are interested."
     "Will you be living on Gorga?" Dis asked.
     "No.  We  will  be leaving soon. We only came here  for  the
divorce."
     "Would you like me to sell the house, Ali?"
     "Oh,  that's right. I forgot about your company, Dis.  Sure.
That would be great."
     "Ali, you don't know how relieved I am! I really didn't want
to   hurt  you.  I've  dreaded  telling  you.  I've  made  myself
physically ill worrying about it!"
     "I worried too. I didn't want to hurt you.
     "I am going to go back to the ship. I will ask if they would
like to meet you."
     "Is it a private ship?"
     "Yes. It belongs to one of them. The other is the captain."
     Ali left Government House and took a floater to the port. He
got  off at the port entrance. He was enormously pleased to  have
his  divorce. He was also happy that the divorce was amicable and
that  he and Til were still friends. Dis was a good looking male,
and he also seemed like a nice person the few times he had spoken
to  him.  They  had some mutual friends and had seen  each  other
occasionally at parties.
     He  missed Tren and Ardin. This was the longest he had  been
away  from Tren since Aransas. He prick stiffened at the  thought
of  Tren.  He smiled as he realized it would be inside  his  love
very soon. He probably wouldn't even make it as far as the cabin!
     While he was walking to the ship, he noticed someone walking
behind him. He felt a slap on his neck and nothing more.
     Lure  trailed Ali all day. He would finally have his revenge
on the judge and his former guard. Tra's mother was very ill, and
Kes  looked sick with worry. That satisfied him. He felt fate was
helping  with  his  revenge.  He had  nothing  against  Tra,  his
supposed victim. He actually felt sorry for her. He remembered  a
news  story  where she screamed at a reporter and  cried  as  she
begged  him  to leave her alone. From what he had  been  able  to
tell, she had never said a thing against him during the trial  or
during the one interview he had seen.
     Ali  had ruined his life and now Lure intended to return the
favor.  He wondered just how humiliating it would be for  Ali  to
watch  video of himself murdering someone. He looked  around  and
saw  there  was  no  one in sight. He quickly  pressed  a  neural
controller  to  Ali's  neck.  It  was  very  small,   about   six
millimeters wide, and it quickly embedded itself into his  spine.
He waited about ten seconds for it to take control of Ali's body.
He still saw no one observing them.
     "Follow me," he told Ali.
     Lure  turned  and  walked  towards the  port  entrance.  Ali
turned,  under  the  control of the device, and  did  as  he  was
instructed.
     His  plan  was  to  have Ali murder Judge Kibiligon  and  to
record  it.  Then  he  would  release  his  control  of  Ali  and
anonymously turn the recording over to the police. He would watch
Ali   face  the  consequences.  He  smiled  as  he  imagined  Ali
imprisoned for the crime. He wasn't killing Ali because  Ali  had
tried  to  avoid  testifying against him. He invoked  an  obscure
military rule which the judge decided to ignore.
     Lure  had  spent over half a million credits  on  the  black
market  neural controller. He had to pay more to have it adjusted
to  work  on  a Gorg. It would dissolve once he gave the  signal,
leaving  no  trace of its presence. He had also paid  to  have  a
falsified  record  of an altercation between  Ali  and  Kibiligon
implanted in the police records. He planted another false  record
of  the  sale  of the murder weapon to Ali. He planned  to  leave
Gorga  as soon as the plan was completed. He supposed that  would
be  today!  His revenge would be sweet, but very, very expensive.
He would have a little over fourteen thousand credits to start  a
new life. He had confidence he would be fine. He had started with
less than that once before. He could do it a second time.
     Lure  flagged  a floater to take them to the judge.  He  had
followed Kibiligon's actions for three months and he was  certain
the  judge  would be at the sports complex playing tika  ball  at
this time of day.
     Lure  didn't  need to explain anything to  Ali.  The  neural
controller was programmed to murder Kibiligon. After they got  in
the  floater and told it where they wanted to go, Lure  gave  Ali
the murder weapon. It was a tiny transparent gun than shot a dart
coated  with a poison. Ali only needed to get the dart  into  the
judge's body. The poison would kill him instantly. Lure felt this
was the best way to ensure his death. He did not want to risk Ali
only  wounding him with a projectile or energy weapon.  Lure  sat
back and smiled. His plan was working very well.
     Glissent  was  studying Human biology  when  he  received  a
signal from the implant he had embedded in Ali. All three of  his
charges, Tren, Ali, and Ardin had the implants and only Ardin was
aware  of their presence. He had installed them during a  medical
examination.  Glissent  actually  had  three  different  ways  of
tracking  the  three  of them. He took his responsibilities  very
seriously.  The  implants monitored many  things,  including  the
health and emotional state of Tren and Ali. He could tell Ali was
in  motion;  his muscles were working, but his brain was  asleep.
Glissent  checked his Gorg medical database and found Gorgs  were
not  known  to  walk in their sleep. He stood  when  he  realized
someone  had taken over control of Geo's body. That was the  only
other possibility. It was a very serious offense in the Alliance.
A device and the device's operator now controlled Ali.
     Glissent  notified  the Gorga police of what  was  done  and
Ali's  location.  He  told  them  the  perpetrator  was  possibly
planning  an  assassination. Neural controllers were occasionally
used  by  professional assassins. He also gave them  the  implant
information so they could track him. He changed shape into a Gorg
and  then  he notified Ardin. He decided to let Ardin tell  Tren.
Tren  would  have  questions he had no time to  answer.  Glissent
quickly left the ship.
     He  began  running  after Ali. He caught sight  of  Ali  and
another  Gorg  boarding a floater. He saw the side of  the  other
Gorg's  face and he sent the image to the police, along with  the
registration  number  of  the  floater.  He  quickly  received  a
response  on  the Gorg's ID from the police. It  was  Luregos,  a
former  military  officer  convicted of  rape  and  Ali's  former
employer. The computer identified five other possible victims, if
an  assassination was being planned. Ali's wife,  the  judge  who
tried  Luregos, the female he was convicted of raping,  and  both
her  parents. The police dispatched officers to all of them.  The
police   computer  scanned  video  of  the  trial.  Lure   seemed
contemptuous of his victim's parents. However, his  fury  at  the
judge  was obvious. The computer determined the judge to  be  the
most likely victim and Glissent agreed.
     Glissent  caught  a floater. He gave it the other  vehicle's
registration  number  and instructed it to  follow  it.  He  sent
police the number of his vehicle.
     Ardin wasn't sure whether he should say anything to Tren  or
not.  Tren had been in the washroom when Glissent left.  Then  he
realized  that if Tren knew, he would try to leave  the  ship  to
help  Ali. Ardin couldn't allow that. There was no way Tren could
help.  It  was  a  strange  planet,  after  all,  and  Tren  knew
practically  nothing about it. And there was no way  Ardin  could
let  Tren  put himself in danger. Ardin decided to distract  both
Tren and himself by trying to have sex. He was very worried about
Ali,  but, after all, the worst that could happen would  be  that
Ali would live in a robot body. He would be in it eventually, did
it  matter that much whether it was now or later? After  all,  if
Ali  was  a  robot, he wouldn't have to get divorced. Then  Ardin
started to feel guilty. He knew Ali wanted to stay alive  in  his
biological  body  and  he should respect  his  friend's,  no  his
lover's, wishes.
     While Ardin was thinking, he got up and walked to the cabin.
It  was  a moment before he realized what had happened. He hadn't
tried to walk, it just happened! He walked into the cabin and saw
Tren's eyes widen as he came out of the washroom.
     "Ardin! You can walk!" Tren practically screamed.
     "Yes. It surprised me, too!"
     Tren walked up to him and hugged him.
     "I've missed you!"
     Ardin chuckled.
     "Yes. We haven't spoken since you went into the washroom."
     "You know what I mean!"
     "I  know,  baby. I was sitting on the chair  and  decided  I
wanted  to  see you. The next thing I knew, I was  at  the  cabin
door.  I  guess my brain put together all the movements  Glissent
has been going over with me."
     Tren  put his hand on Ardin's cock and Ardin had it stiffen.
Tren laid his head on Ardin's shoulder and sighed.
     "I love you, Ardin."
     Ardin  decided he needed to figure out a way to give himself
a sex drive. He took a few seconds to search through the Alliance
Robot Database. He saw the word compulsion and wondered if a  sex
drive  was  like  that. He researched what a compulsion  was.  He
decided  it  was  similar.  It ended up  being  extremely  simple
setting  up  a compulsion. The longer it had been since  his  sex
program was run, the stronger the compulsion was to run it again.
He activated it and he immediately wanted sex!
     "I've never kissed a robot before. Are you good kissers?"
     "I used to be good. I'm not sure now."
     Tren  pressed his mouth to Ardin's. Ardin pushed his  tongue
into Tren's mouth.
     Tren pulled away.
     "Your mouth is completely dry."
     He  forgot  about that. He had his body produce  saliva  and
routed it to his mouth.
     "Kiss me now, baby."
     Tren  kissed  him  again and moaned as they kissed.  Ardin's
tongue  explored  Tren's mouth. Ardin held him  tightly  as  they
kissed.   Ardin  modified  his  sex  program  to   make   kissing
pleasurable.
     After  several  minutes, Tren pulled  back  and  grinned  at
Ardin.
     "That was wonderful. I missed kissing you."
     Ardin pushed Tren's shorts down and began stroking him.
     "Let me show you something. Suck on my finger."
     Ardin pushed a finger into Tren's mouth and routed his  come
to  it.  He  set  his sex program to work with his  finger.  Tren
sucked  on his finger while Ardin stroked Tren's cock.  A  minute
later, Ardin had an orgasm. He heard Tren swallowing. Afterwards,
he pulled his finger out of Tren's mouth.
     "That is incredible!"
     Ardin grinned. "I know. I can make any part of my body  give
me an orgasm."
     "Wow! You are wonderful!"
     "No,  you are, baby. If you didn't love me so much, none  of
this would be happening. I would be dead."
     Ardin stroked Tren's cheek. He saw Tren's eyes water.
     "That tasted like your come."
     Ardin grinned.
     "It is my come. I knew you would want the original. I had it
analyzed."
     Tren laughed and hugged him.
     After  a  minute, Tren asked, "Do you have  the  ability  to
taste?"
     "No,  I don't think so. I guess since robots don't eat, they
don't need taste buds."
     "I  suppose that makes sense. When I am a robot, I won't  be
able  to  taste anything either. I wonder if it would be possible
to add that capability."
     "I will check. I learned there are many custom programs Free
Machines have developed. They developed the orgasm programs. I do
have  a  sense  of  touch, so maybe taste is  not  so  different.
There's something else, I can do, too! I can change into a  woman
with big tits and you can fuck me!" Ardin said.
     He laughed loudly when he saw Tren's expression.
     "Close your mouth, baby! It was a joke."
     "I  was afraid you had gone insane. What does one do with an
insane robot? Especially a cute one. Wait! I know!"
     Tren got on the floor between Ardin's legs.
     "You suck his cock to get him in a good mood."
     Ardin grinned at him.
     "Hungry, baby?"
     "You know I am. I have been deprived of my favorite thing."
     Tren  leaned forward and licked Ardin's cock. Ardin set  his
orgasm program back to his cock and Ardin moaned in pleasure.
     "Wow!"
     Tren  began sucking his husband while Ardin enjoyed  it.  He
began  sweating automatically and his orgasm program was  set  to
trigger  after  sixty  seconds  of  stimulation.  Tren  continued
sucking  and  Ardin orgasmed. Ardin moaned as he  ejaculated  for
almost  a  minute into Tren's mouth. Ardin pulled out  of  Tren's
mouth and came on his face for a while before ending it.
     "Holy Fuck! Ardin! That was incredible!"
     Ardin chuckled.
     "It was! Sex with you is even better now that I am a robot."
     "I never thought I would enjoy sex with a dead man!"
     They both laughed.
     Ardin wiped his face clean.
     "Suck me again, will you, baby? Then I want to fuck you."
     Tren grinned at him and began sucking.
     Ardin came again and after he finished, Tren said, "You came
so soon!"
     "I  didn't want you to have to wait for your reward. Do  you
want  me to have fewer orgasms? Do you want less come? I  can  do
that!"
     Tren laughed.
     "No, I definitely don't want that! I'm not used to you being
able to come as many times as you want. That's.Wow! That's really
incredible!"
     Glissent  sent  him  and update of their progress.  Ali  was
still  fine, and they knew who the intended victim was.  Glissent
told him not to worry.
     Ardin  saw an internal indicator that said he needed to  add
water to his system. He connected his throat to the water storage
container in his body. Then he got up.
     "I am going to get some water. Do you want anything?"
     "Yes. I will have water, too."
     He  went  to the lounge and got two glasses. He filled  them
and  took  them back to Tren. He handed Tren one.  Ardin  took  a
small  sip to make sure it was getting routed correctly. Then  he
drank more.
     Tren stared at him with his mouth open.
     "You can drink?"
     "Yes.  This  was sort of a test. It seems to work.  My  body
needed water to replace what you swallowed."
     Ardin  saw  he needed more, so refilled his glass and  drank
it.  Then  he had a third glass and the indicator showed  he  was
full.
     "I  can  eat, too. I just can't digest. I read that  in  the
manual."
     Ardin picked Tren up and carried him to the bed.
     "You are much stronger than my last husband. He couldn't  do
this," Tren said, grinning at Ardin.
     "He  was  afraid he would hurt his back and then  who  would
fuck you?"
     "Leta?"
     They both laughed.
     Ardin put him on the bed.
     "My penis is self-lubricating."
     Tren laughed.
     "I  think you are the first person who has ever said that to
me."
     "No!"
     Ardin  climbed  on top of Tren and lay on  top  of  him.  He
received  another update from Glissent. He kissed Tren again  and
then got up. He knelt between Tren's legs. He pushed them up  and
looked at Tren's hole. He had an idea. He pressed his face to  it
and  began eating his spouse's cunt while he stroked Tren's cock.
Tren moaned. Ardin caused his tongue to grow longer and pushed it
into him. The modification he had made to his sex program to make
kissing pleasurable made eating Tren's ass pleasurable as well.
     "Holy fuck! That is amazing, Ardin!"
     Ardin  reminded himself to wash his mouth out before kissing
Tren!  He  fucked Tren with his tongue. Tren writhed on the  bed,
groaning.
     "Fuck me! Please fuck me!"
     Ardin grinned. He got up and pressed his cock to Tren's hole
and  pushed  it into him. He checked his manual and  found  there
were several ways to disinfect himself. He found he could produce
alcohol. He produced some in his mouth to rinse and sterilize it.
Then he began fucking Tren. Tren grinned at him and ran his hands
over his husband's wonderfully hairy body.
     "It feels wonderful, Ardin!"
     He grinned at him and changed his angle. He stroked Tren and
a moment later, Tren groaned and come shot out of his cock.
     "You've still got it!" Tren said, panting from his orgasm.
     "I've got you. That's all I care about!"
     Ardin came and groaned as he ejaculated into his husband. He
kept  fucking.  Tren looked up and his gorgeous husband  and  saw
sweat  on his forehead. He couldn't believe it! Ardin groaned  as
he came again.
     Tren  pulled on Ardin's nipples and Ardin routed one of  the
weaker orgasm programs to them.
     "Can you feel that?" Tren asked.
     "Keep pulling on them. They can make me come."
     "Oh! Fuck!"
     Tren pulled on them and Ardin moaned.
     Ardin bent down and kissed Tren while he fucked him.
     Tren  was  very, very happy. He had been thinking  that  the
robot  body was almost as good as Ardin's original body.  He  was
starting to think it was much, much better!
     Ardin  decided  to produce a small amount of  the  chemicals
Erant  had  identified as his body odor. He mixed them  with  his
sweat.  A  couple  of minutes later, he saw  Tren  sniff  and  he
smiled.
     "Ardin! You even smell the same!"
     "Happy, baby?"
     "Deliriously."
     Ardin groaned as he came again in Tren's cunt. He slowed his
thrusts.
     "Ardin! I love you so much!"
     "I love you. And my love will never die!"
     "Yes, but will you feel that way in ten thousand years?"
     Ardin chuckled.
     "That's a good question. The answer is yes."
     He grinned at Tren.
     "I can fuck you like this for hours. I don't get tired."
     "But then I wouldn't get to suck you!"
     "Don't  worry, baby. My cock will be spending a lot of  time
in your mouth."
     He laughed at Tren's happy expression.
     The  ship's  computer told Ardin that a Gorg was  requesting
permission to enter the ship.
     "We have a visitor," he said to Tren.
     Ardin  pulled out of Tren. They walked into the living area.
The hatch opened and a Gorg in a uniform walked in.
     "Geo! How are you?" Tren said.
     "I am fine."
     "Ardin,  this is Geo. He is a policeman. I met  him  at  the
Pistol. Geo, this is my husband, Ardin."
     "Nice to meet you, Geo."
     "You, too, Ardin."
     "What is on your face?" he asked Tren.
     Tren felt.
     "Oh, that is some of Ardin's come."
     Tren wiped it off his face and ate it. Geo grinned and shook
his head.
     "I  have  news  about Ali. I wanted to see you,  so  I  came
personally."
     "Uh," Ardin started. "I haven't told Tren. I didn't want him
to  worry when there was nothing he could do, except put  himself
in danger chasing him."
     "Ardin! How could you keep that from me?"
     "I understand," Geo said.
     "What happened to Ali?"
     "Ali's  former  employer, Luregos has kidnapped  him.  Don't
worry,  though  Tren. Glissent is following them  and  they  know
where Luregos is headed. Glissent has a tracking device in Ali so
we  will  know where he is at all times. There is a major  police
effort assisting Glissent, including five robot officers who  are
basically   indestructible.  We  believe  we  know  why   Luregos
kidnapped  him.  He  wants to try to frame Ali  for  a  crime  as
revenge  for  testifying against him at Luregos  rape  trial.  We
believe he wants to kill the judge who convicted him of rape  and
try  to pin the murder on Ali. So Ali is quite safe. Keeping  Ali
alive is essential to Luregos' plan."
     "I still had a right to know, Ardin!"
     "What would you have done?"
     "Well, I would have gone after him and tried to help."
     "Tren,  that is absolutely the one thing you can't do!"  Geo
said.  "Your  presence  would ruin  the  trap  we  have  set  for
Luregos."
     Tren sighed.
     "All right. I understand."
     "I  know  it is difficult, Tren, but try not to worry,"  Geo
told him.
     Tren's eyes watered.
     "What is something goes wrong and Ali gets killed?"
     "Then  he  will have a fancy body like mine,  and  he  won't
remember anything that happened with Luregos," Ardin said.
     Tren frowned.
     "That's true, but it would still be horrible."
     "What do you mean?" Geo asked Ardin.
     "I  am a robot. The original Ardin died and a copy of his-or
my-mind is in this robot body."
     "Really?  That  is incredible! How did you  come  on  Tren's
face? You looked beautiful like that, Tren."
     Tren laughed.
     "Why do I think this is not the time to talk about something
like  this?  Oh,  shit! We just had sex while Ali's  life  is  in
danger!"
     "Stop  worrying,  Tren. I have been receiving  updates  from
Glissent  and Ali is fine. I wouldn't have had sex  with  you  if
Glissent wasn't sure Ali was safe. As Geo said, he wants  Ali  to
murder  someone so he will go to prison for it. He  won't  go  to
prison  because  everyone  on  the  police  force  knows  he   is
controlled  by  Luregos and is not responsible for  his  actions.
Don't worry!"
     Tren let out a deep breath. Ardin turned to Geo.
     "This  body can do just about anything, Geo. I can  have  as
many  orgasms  as I like. I can even have them triggered  by  any
part of my body."
     "I  sucked on Ardin's finger and he came in my mouth through
it!" Tren said.
     "How do you produce semen?"
     "There  is  a  small  synthesizer in my  abdomen  which  can
produce  things like that. It produces saliva, sweat,  and  come.
And  not just any come or sweat! I had those things from  my  old
body analyzed, so it's the same as before!"
     "That is truly amazing! And you look great!"
     "I  just  got  another update from Glissent.  Ali  is  still
perfectly fine."
     Tren nodded.
     Geo was rubbing his erection through his uniform.
     "Please don't do that, Geo," Ardin said.
     "Oh. I am sorry," Geo stopped.
     "No  apology is necessary. It's just that that is Tren's job
on  this  ship." Geo grinned. "I'm the captain and  Tren  is  the
pleasure boy."
     Tren laughed.
     "Is   that   my  official  title?  I  want  something   more
impressive. How about morale officer."
     They all laughed.
     Ardin said, "Tren, the police are working hard to help  Ali.
Don't you think you could do something for them?"
     "Did you come on Tren's face at the Pistol, Geo?"
     "No, I really wish I had."
     "Tren  loves it. You really should do it. I don't suppose  I
can convince you to do it, could I?"
     "I would be happy to do it."
     "Tren, Geo can't go back to work with his cock so hard."
     Tren laughed.
     "I  happen to know that it is practically impossible for  me
to  make Geo's cock soft. No matter how much I stroke it or  suck
it, it stays hard! When you kiss it, it just gets harder."
     Geo laughed.
     "It  just  requires dedication. Are you a  dedicated  morale
officer?"
     Tren knelt and rubbed Geo's cock through his pants.
     "Damn,  you  look good in your uniform!" Tren said  to  him.
"Are you sure Ali is all right?"
     "Yes," Ardin and Ali said.
     Tren kissed the mound in Geo's pants.
     "Hello, baby. Do you remember me? I love you."
     Geo laughed out loud.
     "He remembers you well, Tren. He is in love with you, and he
has something for you," Geo said, grinning.
     "A gift? For me?"
     "Of course! You are his absolute favorite!"
     Geo  laughed  and pulled his shirt off. Then  he  undid  his
pants. He kicked his boots off and pushed his pants down.
     "Doesn't he have a beautiful cock, Ardin?"
     "Yeah. It's a beauty."
     Geo stroked himself.
     "Suck  him, baby. A stud like that shouldn't have to  do  it
himself."
     Tren  admired his cock for a while. It had been dark in  the
Pistol, so he couldn't see it that well. He ran his fingers  over
it  lightly and Geo trembled. Then he took him into his mouth and
began  sucking him. Ardin knelt behind Geo and pulled his  cheeks
apart. He began eating Geo's ass. Geo moaned.
     "I won't last long like that."
     A  minute later, Geo cried out and Ardin got up. Geo  pulled
his  cock  out  of Tren's mouth and began shooting on  his  face.
Ardin  stood next to him and stroked his cock once and  triggered
another orgasm. He came on Tren's face, too. Tren moaned and came
without touching himself. Ardin shot some of his come onto  Geo's
shaft and then pushed Tren back onto Geo's cock.
     When  Geo stopped groaning, Ardin pulled Geo's cock  out  of
Tren's mouth and he used it to wipe the come on Tren's face  into
his mouth. Geo moaned.
     "That  is  the hottest thing I have ever seen! Any time  you
need to clean Tren's face you can use my prick!"
     Tren  finished the job with his fingers while Ardin  stroked
Geo's cock.
     "Geo,  why  don't you let me fuck you with my  tongue  while
Tren sucks another load out of you?"
     Geo moaned. "Yes, yes."
     Ardin ran his hands over Geo's chest.
     "Damn! You are one handsome male, Geo!"
     Geo  just  moaned  as Tren swallowed his cock.  Ardin  knelt
behind  him and pulled his cheeks apart. He lapped at Geo's  hole
for  a while before pushing his tongue inside him. He could  make
his  tongue as stiff as he liked, so it was not difficult to push
it  into  Geo.  Geo  screamed  and soon  Ardin  could  hear  Tren
swallowing  more of Geo's spunk. As Ardin continued  fucking  him
with his tongue, he reached around and pulled on Geo's nipples. A
few minutes later, Geo groaned as he came again.
     Ardin stood.
     "Do you want to fuck Tren?"
     "Can I?"
     "It's fine with me," Tren said.
     "Ardin, I have never felt anything like what you did to  me.
It was an incredible sensation."
     "Good. I was hoping you would enjoy it.
     "I will never forget meeting either of you."
     Tren and Ardin grinned at him.
     "Let's do it in bed," Tren said.
     They walked to the cabin and Tren lay down on his back.
     "I  want to see your come oozing out of my husband's  cunt,"
Ardin said.
     Geo moaned.
     "I  want that, too! I think Tren is beautiful and that would
make him even more beautiful!"
     Tren  pulled  his legs up and Geo climbed between  them.  He
moaned when he saw spunk was already running out of Tren's hole.
     "Is this your spunk, Ardin?"
     "Yes."
     Geo  leaned  down  and licked Tren's hole.  He  could  taste
Ardin's spunk. He had tasted Tren's spunk the night before at the
Pistol. Now he had tasted Ardin's as well.
     "Your  spunk is the only spunk I have ever had in my mouth,"
Geo told them.
     "Really?"
     "Yes."
     Geo  ate Tren's hole for a while, lapping up Ardin's  spunk.
Robot spunk!
     He got up and placed his prick at Tren's entrance. He pushed
into him slowly.
     Ardin  sterilized  his mouth, rinsed it, and  began  kissing
Tren  as  Geo  fucked him. Tren was in heaven with  his  handsome
husband in his arms and a big, beautiful Gorg cock in his cunt.
     Ardin  could  tell when Tren stopped responding.  He  pulled
away.
     "Glissent says he's fine."
     Tren mouthed, "Thank you," as Ardin kissed him again.
     Geo had come so many times so quickly, that he had to really
work  for his orgasm. He was sweating as he fucked Tren.  He  was
afraid  he  was falling in love with Tren and possibly even  with
Ardin. But he really wanted a love all his own. He was certain he
couldn't share the way Ali and Ardin did. He sighed.
     Ardin  got on his knees and pulled Tren's head to his  cock.
Tren  took him in his mouth and Ardin grinned at him. Tren sucked
Ardin  while Ardin stroked Tren's cock. Ardin realized that  Tren
would be eating a lot more of his come, now that he could produce
as  much  as he wanted. He wondered if he ought to make  it  more
nutritious.  Add vitamins. He decided to speak to Glissent  about
it while Tren slept.
     Tren pulled off his cock.
     "Let me eat your ass, Ardin."
     "I don't even know if I have an ass!"
     Tren laughed.
     "Well, make one so I can eat it!"
     Ardin straddled Tren and Tren pulled Ardin's cheeks apart.
     "You have a beautiful ass."
     "Oh? Good!"
     Ardin  made another modification to his sex program to  make
being  rimmed pleasurable. He loved being a robot! He  had  total
control of his own body.

                           Thirty-Five
     Glissent  was informed that the police had taken control  of
the  floater  with Luregos and Ali. They discovered  Luregos  had
instructed  the  floater  to take them  to  the  sports  complex.
Kibiligon,  the  judge, was there for his weekly ball  game.  The
police had just informed Kibiligon that Luregos might be planning
to  kill  him. They were setting up a road block near the complex
and  planned to stop the vehicle, arrest Luregos, and  free  Ali.
The  judge was protected by a force field which would protect him
if  something went wrong and Ali managed to shoot him.  When  the
vehicle approached, it would stop and police would be surrounding
it.  The  police were all armed with tranquilizer  bullets.  They
were  under instructions to shoot both Luregos and Ali.  Glissent
was assured that the tranquilizer would not harm Ali and that  it
would sedate him despite the neural controller.
     The  police  computer told Glissent that it estimated  there
was  a  ninety-five percent chance the murder weapon was a lixite
poison  dart.  It  also estimated there was a twenty-two  percent
chance  Ali  was programmed to turn the weapon on himself  if  it
appeared the plan would not succeed. Glissent was disheartened to
hear lixite was the poison. There were no antidotes to it and  it
acted  instantly.  Ali would die if the dart  pierced  his  skin.
Glissent was glad they had a recent recording of Ali's brain.  He
had grown to like all three of his ship-mates and it relieved him
to know that even if Ali died, he would still be with them. Ardin
seemed  to  like his robot body very much. Ardin  told  him  that
dying  was  the  second  best thing that ever  happened  to  him.
Meeting Tren was the best thing, he had said.
     They  were  approaching the road block and Luregos'  floater
was slowing. Glissent told his floater to stop. He jumped out  of
it  while  it  was still moving and ran to Luregos'  floater.  He
hoped  that  if Ali tried to turn the weapon on himself  that  he
could  stop him. Lixite would not harm a robot at all.  While  he
was  running,  Luregos' floater stopped.  He  could  see  Luregos
looking around frantically. A group of police officers approached
the  floater on all sides. He saw Luregos' expression through the
floater window. He seemed angry and then resigned, but he  wasn't
sure he could read Gorg expressions that well.
     Luregos  was  furious but then sighed when he  realized  his
plan would not succeed. He had always known it was very possible,
if  not probable that it wouldn't. This wasn't such a bad way  to
go.  His  life, the one he wanted anyway, had ended when  he  was
arrested.  He  looked at Ali. Once they had been very  close.  He
squeezed Ali's hand in farewell.
     "Good bye, Ali. Shoot me."
     He saw Ali point the weapon at him and fire.
     Glissent saw Luregos slump down. A police officer opened the
floater  door and shot Ali and Luregos with tranquilizer bullets.
He  could tell from the implant he had placed in Ali that Ali was
fine.  His heart rate slowed due to the tranquilizer, but it  was
not dangerously low.
     He  arrived at the floater, but it was surrounded by police.
He  saw them pull Ali from the floater. The police computer  told
him  that Ali was fine, merely sedated, but Glissent already knew
that from the implant. Ali was placed on a cart that a robot  had
brought.  He  was  strapped onto the cart. An  officer  took  the
weapon  out of Ali's hand. The police computer told him that  Ali
would be restrained until they were certain the neural controller
was  inactive.  Glissent was able to get close to  it  since  the
police  were  still  dealing with Luregos.  He  held  Ali's  hand
briefly and was comforted by that. He had no idea why.
     "Luregos is dead," he heard an officer say.
     "Ardin,  this  is  Glissent. It is all over.  Ali  is  fine.
Luregos  is  dead. We will probably not be back for a few  hours,
though. The police will want to question both of us."
     Glissent decided not to mention the neural controller yet.
     "Thanks, Glissent."

     Geo  was  lying on the bed panting while Ardin  was  kissing
Tren.
     "Glissent just told me it is all over. Ali is fine.  He  and
Glissent should be back in a few hours."
     "Oh, Ardin! That's wonderful!"
     "That is a relief!" Geo said.
     "Now aren't you glad you stayed here and helped Geo have  so
many orgasms?"
     Tren and Geo laughed.
     Tren  looked  at  Geo. "Do the police have you  comfort  all
families like this, Geo?"
     "Yes. I really love my job."
     They all laughed.
     "Sometimes I have to comfort them at their workplaces."
     "You are such a caring officer!"
     "Ardin,  I  have never sucked a robot's prick before.  As  a
matter  of  fact, the only prick I have ever sucked is Tren's.  I
want to suck you. Do you mind?"
     "It's fine with me," Tren said.
     "Was your butt clean, Tren?" Ardin asked.
     "Yes. I cleaned it out right before Geo got here."
     Ardin moved over and straddled Geo. He pulled Geo's head  to
his  cock.  Tren got between Geo's legs. He planted  kisses  over
Geo's erection before stroking it while holding Geo's balls.
     Geo sucked Ardin's prick with his eyes closed. Ardin ran his
hands  over  Geo's head. Geo wanted Ardin's spunk. It  was  robot
spunk,  after  all,  and how often can you find  that?  Geo  felt
completely  at  home with these two Humans. He  really  wanted  a
Human of his own. Maybe he should go to the Human home world  and
try to find a lover there. No, not a lover, a husband. He decided
he would divorce Ell, his wife. He was not happy and he wanted to
be free to find love. He had never loved Ell. He had merely liked
her and not even all that much. But his father had kept after him
for over a year to marry her. Finally he had given in. He thought
that at least he would get regular sex if he was married. Ha!  It
was the worst mistake of his life.
     Ardin groaned and ejaculated into Geo's mouth. Geo swallowed
Ardin's  warm  spunk. It tasted a great deal like  Tren's.  Ardin
joined  Tren at Geo's crotch. The two of them licked  Geo's  cock
while he moaned and squirmed. After a few minutes, Ardin had Tren
suck on the head while he stroked the shaft and Geo's balls. Soon
Geo fed Tren another mouthful of his come.
     Geo got up.
     "I really need to leave. I should never have stayed so long.
I am on duty."
     "You were comforting us about Ali."
     "I think you were comforting me!"
     "You won't get in trouble, will you?"
     "No.  I  told  them you and Ali were friends of  mine.  They
won't be surprised I stayed with you."
     Tren got up and Geo hugged him.
     "Thank you, Tren."
     "Oh,  Geo.  You don't need to thank us. You are a  beautiful
person and I like you very much. Do you know I have had more  sex
with you than anyone besides Ardin and Ali?"
     Geo  was shocked. He assumed Tren did this all the time!  It
made him happy, though.
     Geo stroked Tren's cheek.
     "Really?"
     Tren nodded.
     "You don't know how special that makes me feel, Tren."
     He kissed Tren while Tren ran his hands over him.
     "I  think you are wonderful, Tren. I feel very lucky to know
you."
     He kissed Tren's forehead. Then Geo kissed Ardin and thanked
him.
     "Come back soon, Geo," Ardin said.
     "Or better yet, why don't you come with us? We are going  to
visit my mother after we leave here," Tren said.
     "You don't mean that!"
     "Yes, he does, Geo," Ardin said.
     Geo  wanted  to stay with them forever! But he  wanted  even
more to have a love of his own.
     "Thank you, both."
     Geo  found his clothes and got dressed. He chuckled when  he
saw Tren was looking at his prick. It was wonderful to be wanted!
     Ardin gave him the ship name and their comm number and  then
Geo left. As he was walking away from the ship, he decided he had
better not see them again. Tears formed in his eyes. He might not
be able to leave them, if he did.
     Tren yawned.
     "Why don't you take a nap? I will hold you while you sleep."
     "That sounds wonderful, Ardin."
     They lay back down and Ardin pulled Tren close to him.
     "I really like Geo," Ardin said.
     "Me, too. He is a really sweet person and sexy, too. I could
see  myself  falling in love with him. Ali might not  like  that,
though. Wake me up when Ali gets back."
     "I will, baby."
     Tren fell asleep after Ardin kissed the back of his head.
     While  Tren slept, Ardin began working on a Human shape  for
Glissent.  He  wanted Glissent to be part of  his  family.  Ardin
thought the best way to do that was to bring him into it the  way
they  did  Ali.  Through sex. Lots and lots of  sex.  That  meant
Glissent  had  to  fuck Tren. If Glissent was getting  fucked  by
Ardin or Ali, he was sure Tren would be miserable.
     He  didn't  know  how to create a shape  from  nothing,  but
making  changes to existing shapes was fairly easy. He  knew  now
how  to  mentally  create a shape without changing  into  it.  He
started   with  his  own  shape,  but  made  him  more  muscular,
especially his upper body. He made his skin darker than his  own.
He  made  changes  to  the  face. He made  his  nose  larger.  He
increased  the amount of body hair, slightly. He gave  him  large
balls  that  hung lower on him than Ardin's did. He  experimented
with  thicker lips and decided he liked them. He made  the  hands
and  feet bigger. He spent a lot of time on his cock. He made  it
bigger  than his. Then he had an idea. He modeled the cock  after
Tren's. He made it bigger with a longer foreskin and he made  the
veins  more  prominent on it. In his mind,  he  turned  the  body
around,  reviewing  it. He decided to give him  a  more  muscular
butt. He looked at his face. He decided to try a mustache on him.
He  put  one  on him and then made it thicker. He  liked  it!  He
thought Tren would, too. If not, it could always be removed.  Any
of  it  could be changed, for that matter. Finally, he  made  him
taller than Ardin.
     He  had to see it! Ardin got up carefully and walked to  the
washroom. He plugged himself into the power port. Then he changed
into  the  shape  he  had created and looked at  himself  in  the
mirror. He grinned. Tren would love it!
     Next  Ardin  worked on a comprehensive pleasure program.  He
started with his sex program and enhanced it. He made the  mouth,
nipples,  ear  lobes, balls, and ass trigger  different  pleasure
programs that he got out of the Alliance Robot Database. He  made
stroking  the  skin  anywhere slightly pleasurable.  He  ran  the
program  and  stroked  his balls. He smiled.  It  was  great!  He
wondered  if there was a way to make the amount of pleasure  vary
depending  on the sex partner. He thought kissing Tren should  be
more pleasurable than kissing anyone else. He couldn't think of a
way  to  do  that,  so he decided to work on it  later.  Then  he
decided  he  already wanted to kiss Tren much  more  than  anyone
else, so maybe it wasn't necessary.
     He  worked  on the cock next. He made stimulating  the  head
more  pleasurable that the shaft. He remembered  Tren's  reaction
when  he came too soon earlier, so he set it to orgasm at a  time
randomly  selected anywhere between three and four minutes.  Then
he  had  time  subtracted  if the balls,  nipples,  or  ass  were
stimulated  at the same time. He added lubrication production  by
the  cock  when pushed into an ass. He named the program Robotsex
and set it to always be active.
     Ardin  admired his creation in the mirror. That was one  hot
man! He chuckled as he realized he wanted to fuck the guy in  the
mirror. Tren wouldn't like that, though and making Tren happy was
much more important to Ardin. He began stroking his cock. It  was
pleasurable, but it wasn't the same sensation it had been when he
was  alive.  He  opened  up  the list of  Free  Machine  pleasure
programs. He ran through about sixty of them before he found  one
that was similar. He modified his Robotsex program to use it  for
stroking of a cock. He began stroking himself again and smiled at
the sensation. He pulled on a nipple while he stroked himself. It
was  incredible!  Ardin was really pleased.  He  stroked  himself
until a stream of semen shot out of his cock and onto the mirror.
He  changed back to himself and disconnected from the power port.
Tren woke when he got back in bed.
     "You left?"
     "I had to use the washroom."
     "Oh."
     Then Tren laughed when he thought about it.
     "You didn't shit your batteries, did you?"
     Ardin chuckled.
     "No. I just admired myself in the mirror."
     "Oh, that makes sense. You are one hot man! Or hot robot."
     "Go back to sleep, baby."
     "I want to sleep with your cock inside me."
     Ardin  pushed  into  him  slowly while  Tren  sighed.  Ardin
wrapped  his arms tightly around Tren. He heard Tren's  breathing
slow immediately as he fell asleep.
     While Tren slept, Ardin looked through the Robot Database to
see  if  there  were any programs to simulate sleeping.  Powering
down  was not the same. Dreaming was a little like hallucinating,
wasn't  it? He found some programs to produce hallucinations.  He
researched  dreams in a general purpose database and  found  they
varied wildly by race.
     He  decided  to  make another enhancement  to  his  Robotsex
program. Now that he had a compulsion simulating a sex drive,  he
had the program trigger an erection when the compulsion began  to
strengthen.
     He  continued  running  through  the  Free  Machine  sensory
programs in the Robot Database. There were thousands. He ran  one
that felt like a something rough rubbing him. Another felt sweet,
like  sugar. That was very odd. He grew excited when he  realized
how many of them could be used to make his body more lifelike. He
wanted  to feel he was in his old body. He wanted this  not  only
for  himself, but for Tren and Ali, too. They would be  in  robot
bodies someday. He hoped it wouldn't be soon, but anything  could
happen. Young people died every day. He found several things that
he incorporated into his Robotsex program.

                           Thirty-Six
     Ali opened his eyes and groaned. His head ached terribly. He
looked up into two faces. One was Glissent. The other was a  Gorg
he didn't recognize.
     "Head.hurts."
     "I will give you something for the pain," the Gorg said.
     Ali  couldn't  see what he did, but suddenly  the  pain  was
gone.
     "What happened?"
     "Luregos abducted you," Glissent told him. "He wanted you to
kill judge Kibiligon and then go to prison for it. He implanted a
Fistil  neural controller in you. With it, he was able to control
your actions."
     Ali closed his eyes.
     "Did I do it?"
     "No.  The  police stopped the two of you before  anyone  was
hurt."
     "Good. Was Luregos arrested?"
     "He killed himself when the police stopped the two of you."
     Glissent decided not to tell Ali that he shot Luregos.
     Ali closed his eyes. Lure! Why?
     "He  was a good person before the rape. He was arrogant, but
he  was always willing to help a friend. I don't understand  what
changed him."
     No one had an answer to that.
     "Tren and Ardin? Are they safe?"
     "Yes.  He abducted you before you entered the ship. Both  of
them are very worried about you."
     "Is the controller out of me?"
     "Yes. It is dissolving on its own. Part of it is still there
and that is why you have a headache."
     Ali  tried to get up. Glissent helped him to sit up. Another
Gorg entered the room.
     "Aligaron, will you tell us what you remember?"
     Ali thought for a moment.
     "I was walking towards our ship at the port when."
     He frowned as he tried to remember.
     "I  felt  something  hit  my neck. After  that,  I  think  I
dreamed. I dreamed I was with Tren in my room on Aransas."
     "You were asleep. The Fistil does that," one Gorg said.
     "The next thing was waking up here."
     The Gorg who had questioned him sighed.
     "We had hoped you would remember something. We don't know if
any others were involved in Luregos' plan."
     Ali thought for a moment.
     "I  doubt it. I think Luregos would have wanted to do it all
by  himself. Involving others would have meant he wasn't  capable
of doing it on his own."
     "Hmm. How certain of that are you?"
     "He  prided himself on his self-reliance. He was  also  very
arrogant about his abilities. He left his parents' home  when  he
was fourteen and began living on his own. He joined the army when
he  was  fifteen and he was a general by the time he was  twenty-
six.  He  bragged he was the only general in the Gorg army  whose
family was not responsible for getting them the position."
     "Well, that does make sense. We will just have to hope it is
true. Kibiligon has refused to allow officers to guard him."
     "How  is  Aligaron, physically?" the second Gorg  asked  the
other.
     "He is fine. He can be released."
     "Ali, you may have a headache for a couple of days. Any pain
killer  should help. If it continues after three days, you should
come see me. I don't think it will, it has mostly dissolved.  But
we  don't have a lot of experience with them in Gorgs, so I don't
think  either  of  us should make assumptions. Here  is  my  comm
number."
     He handed Ali a sheet of plas with his name and number.
     Ali  got  down  off the table. He felt dizzy, so  he  leaned
against it for a moment.
     "Do you think you can walk?" Glissent asked him.
     "I think so."
     Ali  took  a  step and then another. Glissent  put  his  arm
around  him  and  Ali was surprised. His head  was  clearing.  He
decided he was fine. Glissent took his arm away, but stayed  very
close  to  him.  They left the room and then walked  out  of  the
police station. Glissent called a floater and they took it to the
port.
     Glissent looked at Ali.
     "I was terrified you would die."
     Ali  looked  at  Glissent. He didn't realize Glissent  cared
about him.
     "I was lucky."
     As  they approached the ship, Glissent told Ardin they  were
on their way.
     Ardin pulled his cock out of Tren.
     "Wake up, baby," Ardin said to Tren, shaking him gently.
     Tren opened his eyes.
     "Geo and Glissent are back," Ardin told him.
     Tren  jumped  out  of bed and Ardin got up,  as  well.  They
walked out of the cabin and waited in the living area.
     When  Ali walked into the ship, Tren realized he was crying.
He  wiped  his  eyes and ran up to him to hug him. Ali  held  him
tightly.
     "Ali, I was so worried!"
     Ali stroked Tren's back.
     "Everything  is  fine, my love. I slept  through  the  whole
thing and I dreamt of you."
     "Really?"
     "You are standing, Ardin! Can you walk?"
     "Yes, finally!"
     Ali  kissed Tren, pushing his tongue into Tren's mouth. Tren
ran  his  hands over his lover as they kissed. Then  Tren  pulled
Ali's pants down.
     "It's dead!"
     Ali  laughed.  His  prick was asleep. He  wasn't  surprised,
considering what had been in his system.
     "It's probably the pain medicine," Glissent said.
     "Just as soon as he wakes up-"
     Ali grinned at Tren.
     "I'm so glad you weren't hurt!"
     Tren  stroked the side of Ali's head and looked  into  Ali's
beautiful brown eyes.
     "Ali,  I love you much more than I realized. Having  you  in
danger really showed that to me."
     "We will be together always, my love. Even after we die."
     Ali  kissed him again and then began licking his face.  Tren
smiled, enjoying the intimacy.
     Ali stopped and grinned.
     "I got my divorce!"
     Hey, Ali!" Ardin said.
     "How was it?"
     "My wife had a lover and she asked me for the divorce!"
     "That's just great!"
     Ali pushed a finger into Tren's very wet cunt.
     "Who has been in there?"
     "Ardin and Geo."
     "Geo came?"
     "Yes, many times."
     Ali chuckled.
     "I am sorry I missed him."
     "He  came to tell us about you and then he came some  more,"
Ardin said, making them all laugh.
     Tren's  hand seemed to be waking Ali's cock. Ali pulled  all
his  clothes off and picked Tren up. He carried him to the  cabin
and put him on the bed.
     "Was your cunt clean when they fucked you?"
     "Yes."  Tren  lay back on the bed. Ali had an idea.  He  got
between  Tren's legs and pushed his prick into Tren.  He  sighed,
happily at the sensation. He thrust into him a few times. Then he
pulled  his  prick out of him. It had a coating  of  Ardin's  and
Geo's come.
     Ali straddled Tren and smiled at him.
     "I've got spunk all over my prick. Why don't you lick it all
off?"
     Tren  moaned  and then swallowed Ali's cock. He  closed  his
eyes  and  sucked contentedly. He could taste Ardin's  and  Geo's
come  and  he  could taste Ali. It was wonderful.  Tren  caressed
Ali's balls as he sucked him.
     Ali sighed. His life was back to being perfect.
     In  the living area of the ship, Ardin transformed into  the
shape he had created for Glissent.
     "Here it is, Glissent."
     "Is that the shape you think I should take?"
     "Yes. What do you think?"
     Glissent looked at him for a moment.
     "I like it."
     "Good. It may excite Tren. He may want to have sex with you,
but of course, you don't have to do that."
     "How do you feel about that? He is your lover."
     "To  be honest, I think you should, but I don't want you  to
feel it is expected of you."
     "I  enjoyed sex with you. I would like to try it with  Tren,
and maybe even Ali."
     "Speaking  of sex, I have a new program called Robotsex.  It
is  much more comprehensive than the old program. Do you want  me
to send it to you?"
     "Yes. Definitely."
     Glissent  changed into the Human Ardin had  designed.  Ardin
changed  back  to himself. He was going to need to plug  in.  His
batteries were low.
     Glissent  stood and Ardin reached for his balls. He  stroked
them lightly.
     "Oh!"
     Ardin smiled.
     "Did you like that?"
     "Yes. I never knew a touch to be pleasurable."
     Ardin ran his hands over Glissent's chest and pulled on  one
of   Glissent's  nipples.  Glissent  moaned.  Then  Tren  stroked
Glissent's cock and Glissent moaned even louder.. Ardin knelt and
took Glissent's cock in his mouth. Ardin was pleased that sucking
was  pleasurable for him because of the changes he  had  made  to
make kissing pleasurable.
     "I  have never felt anything a tenth as wonderful!" Glissent
told him.
     As Ardin sucked, he pulled on a nipple and rubbed Glissent's
balls.
     "Oh! Oh!" Glissent said, as his orgasm hit him.
     Ardin  was surprised there was no come, since it was in  the
program, but then he remembered he hadn't told him to create any.
Ardin sent Glissent the analysis of Human semen that he found  in
the  Human database. He didn't want Glissent to produce the  same
semen he did.
     "You  should  produce  it  when you  orgasm.  It  is  called
ejaculation  in  the program. Around one hundred to  one  hundred
fifty milliliters is about right."
     "Very  well.  The semen is ready. Would you like  to  do  it
again, please?"
     "Did you like it?"
     "Oh, yes! Very much!"
     Ardin grinned at him and began sucking again. It wasn't long
before Glissent ejaculated.
     Glissent sat.
     "That was absolutely fantastic!"
     "I am glad you like it."
     Ardin sat next to Glissent and stroked his cock.
     "Ardin, that feels wonderful."
     Ardin  stroked his balls with his other hand. After a while,
Glissent grunted as come shot out of his cock.
     "This could be habit forming," Glissent said, afterwards.
     "It  needs  to  be. Otherwise there wouldn't be  any  little
biologicals."
     "I  need  your  help for something, Glissent.  These  bodies
don't have a sense of taste. I would like to have that."
     "I will research it for you. Actually, Eralta could probably
tell us. His Aransan customers must have asked. I will send him a
message." He paused. "It's done."
     Glissent reached over and stroked Ardin's cock the way Ardin
had stroked his.
     "I  have been meaning to ask. When Tren dies, will his  copy
inherit his money?"
     Glissent  pulled on one of Ardin's nipples while he  stroked
him.
     "Yes. I spoke to Tren about that, already. I created a  will
for  him  that  does that. Almost all the money will  go  to  his
robot, although you inherit ten million credits and so will  Ali.
That  way, if there are any delays getting his recording  into  a
body,  the  two  of  you will have enough for living  and  travel
expenses."
     "Good. I wouldn't have thought of that."
     "Should I stay in this shape all the time, Ardin?"
     "If you like it. You can make any changes you like, though."
     "I like the look. I suppose I need clothes, though."
     Ardin  groaned  and  Glissent watched  semen  shoot  out  of
Ardin's penis and land on his chest. He smiled.
     "I enjoyed that almost as much as my own orgasm."
     "That is the wonderful thing about sex!"
     Ardin thought.
     "How  would you feel about going clothes shopping with Tren?
I think Ali should probably take it easy today."
     "Yes, he should. That will be fine. Do you wish to come with
us?"
     "I  will  stay here and keep an eye on Ali. I think you  and
Tren  should  spend time alone. I want Tren to get to  know  you.
That will be easier if we aren't with you."
     Glissent nodded.
     Ardin wasn't wild about the name Glissent.
     "Have you ever had a nickname?"
     "No. Do you want to give me one?"
     "Glissent sounds so formal."
     "Nicknames are common. Do you have a suggestion?"
     "What about Lis."
     Glissent thought about it.
     "That is fine. It seems natural considering my full name."
     "Lis, it is, then.
     "Tell me the truth. How do you feel about all this-the  sex,
the  appearance,  the nickname, and the socializing?  I  hate  to
think you feel pressured into any of it."
     "I  don't feel pressured. Actually, I feel grateful. I  also
feel  happy,  I think. I am certainly pleased." He  paused.  "And
excited. I don't get excited easily."
     "That's great."
     "I  think  I will watch Human sex videos so I have a  better
idea of what is possible."
     "That  sounds  like  a good idea." Ardin grinned.  "You  can
masturbate while you watch them."
     "That  reminds me. These bodies can produce water  from  the
air,  but  not very much. Is there a way to increase  the  amount
they can produce?"
     "Yes, we can raise the humidity on the ship. Would you  like
to do that?"
     "Will it hurt anything or bother Tren or Ali?"
     "It  won't  hurt anything, and I seriously doubt  they  will
even notice it."
     "Yes, then. Thanks."

                          Thirty-Seven
     Glissent  realized  this  was a  monumental  change  in  his
existence. For the first time, he would have a personal life.  In
this  new body, with the ability to have sex and maybe even  love
(although  he was able to love before), he was.more.than  he  was
before.  He had all of his old capabilities, but now he had  much
more.  He  stroked  his own hand and enjoyed  the  sensation.  He
watched  his  chest rise and fall as though he was breathing.  He
realized he could live as a biological. He wanted to try it!  And
he wanted sex! He knew at least part of it was Ardin's program, a
compulsion,  but  he  didn't  mind. After  all,  biologicals  had
compulsions  for sex in order to reproduce. He had  never  before
wished he was biological, but he had been in existence for  three
hundred and twelve A-years, all of it as a mechanical. He  wanted
to  see how the other half lived. Once he had 'lived' both  ways,
he could make a choice for whichever he preferred. Maybe he would
choose  a combination; his favorite aspects of each way of  life.
Maybe he would make the choice Ardin had made and be a robot  who
preferred to live as a biological.
     He was beginning to think he might already love Tren, Ardin,
and Ali. If the king were to send a replacement for him, he would
be  very unhappy, even if he was given a position with higher pay
and  more  prestige. He wanted to be with Tren, Ardin,  and  Ali.
When  he  was  following Luregos and Ali, he had  been  terrified
something  would happen to Ali. He knew that a copy of Ali  would
be  activated  immediately upon his death, but the  idea  of  Ali
suffering  upset him. He wanted the original Ali.  He  had  found
himself holding Ali's hand while he was unconscious in the police
station. It comforted him. That definitely had nothing to do with
his job.
     Ardin had done all this for him. No one had ever taken  such
a personal interest in him. Maybe that was why he had never had a
personal life.
     Ardin  may have been uneducated as a biological, but he  was
very  intelligent and creative. The intelligence  may  have  been
partly due to being an AI, but the creativity was not. The  shape
he  wore  was designed by him. The sophisticated sex program  was
also  his  creation. He believed Ardin could sell the program  to
mechanicals  and become quite wealthy from it, although  he  knew
Ardin  was  still refining it. He stroked his arm and smiled.  It
was  pleasant!  What mechanical ever experienced that  particular
sensation  before? Before, to him, a touch was soft or hard,  but
now it had an entirely new dimension! He had wondered in the past
about  the  difference between 'touch' and 'caress'. Now  he  was
starting to have some idea.
     For  the first time, Glissent felt his body was an essential
part  of  him. Before, he had considered it a tool controlled  by
his  brain.  He had changed bodies four times with no  qualms  or
second  thoughts, and certainly no nostalgia. His  old  body  was
under the bed in his cabin! All the mechanicals he knew felt  the
same. Now, he loved his body! He loved his penis! He ran a finger
over  it  and smiled. Tren had given the body to him and  he  was
very grateful.
     He leaned over and kissed Ardin on the cheek.
     "I  think  you  should  patent  part  of  your  program  and
copyright all of it. How do you feel about that?"
     "What would be the point?"
     "If  you ever choose to sell it to mechanicals, it needs  to
be done."
     "Can you do it?"
     "Yes. I will put it in your name, of course."
     Ardin grinned at him.
     "Thanks."
     Then  he  walked to his cabin and looked at himself  in  the
mirror. This was no idealized body. He looked like a real person.
He  stroked  the  hair  above his lip. His  skin  had  a  mottled
appearance  in some places. His nose was a little too big,  based
on the pictures he had seen of Humans. These things didn't bother
him. He appreciated them.
     He  touched one of his nipples and groaned. It felt good! He
looked at it. It had stiffened! He rubbed it again and smiled. He
wrapped his hand around his penis. It was bigger than those  he'd
seen  in videos. That pleased him. He stroked it the way  he  had
seen  it  done  in  videos. He moaned with pleasure.  He  stroked
himself  until  semen shot out of his penis  and  landed  on  the
floor. He looked at his semen on the floor and wondered if  there
were sperm in it.
     He smiled at himself in the mirror.
     "Hello, Lis."
     He  went to his display to watch Human sex videos. He wanted
to  be good at sex. He stroked himself while he watched them. One
of  the  males  in one video reminded him of Tren. He  was  being
fucked.  He  stroked  himself and pulled on  a  nipple  while  he
wondered  if he would be able to fuck Tren. He watched carefully.
If he ever had the chance, he wanted to do it well.
     When  Lis left, Ardin plugged into the ship's power to fully
charge his batteries. He sat down. He touched his cheek where Lis
had  kissed  him. That was completely unexpected. He wondered  if
there  was any emotion behind it or if Lis had merely thought  it
was  expected or appropriate. He suspected there was emotion. Lis
was not a cold person.
     He  smiled as he thought about selling the program. He could
have a career! Who would have guessed that?
     He  continued  reading  his body's  instruction  manual.  He
smiled as he remembered learning how to read with Tren sitting on
his  lap. Tren kept distracting him, running his hands over  him,
grabbing his cock, and sucking on his ear. But he didn't mind! He
loved Tren even more now. Considering how madly in love with  him
he had been at the time, that was a lot of love!
     Ardin  chuckled when he heard Ali groan loudly. He  wondered
which  of Tren's holes Ali was filling. Then he heard Lis  groan.
He chuckled again. Ardin loved his strange, but happy family.
     He  was  horny. Or he had a compulsion for sex. He chuckled.
He decided to join Tren and Ali.
     He  walked into the cabin and saw Ali fucking Tren. Tren was
on his hands and knees and Ali knelt behind him. Ardin got behind
Ali and pulled his cheeks apart. He began eating Ali's ass.
     "Fuck!  I  love  both  of  you so much!"  Ali  said,  as  he
continued thrusting into Tren.
     "We love you, too, Ali," Ardin said.
     "We do, Ali. You are an essential part of our family."
     Ardin  stiffened his tongue. He pushed it into Ali and began
fucking  him with it. He loved being able to do that! Ali shouted
as he came inside Tren's cunt.
     "Damn! What did you do Ardin?"
     "I fucked you with my tongue. I guess you liked it!"
     "I  never thought I would enjoy getting fucked, but  I  hope
you will do that often!"
     "I  love  you, Ali. I would love to do that for you all  the
time."
     After  all,  I can't taste it, Ardin thought to himself.  He
sterilized and rinsed his mouth and pulled Ali's face to his.  He
kissed Ali and Ali wrapped his arms around Ardin.
     Ali pulled away from the kiss.
     "I  love you, too, Ardin. Very, very much." Then he grinned.
"I just wish you would let me make love to you."
     "You  can!  Just lie there on your stomach and  I  will  get
started!"
     All three of them laughed.
     Ardin  kissed Ali again and Tren began sucking Ardin's cock.
This was the first time Ali had done this with the new Ardin.  He
pulled  away  from the kiss and ran his hands over Ardin's  body.
Ardin  sighed.  Ali  pulled on one or Ardin's nipples  and  Ardin
groaned.
     "Stroke my balls," Ardin told him.
     He did it and soon Ardin groaned. Ali heard Tren swallowing.
     "Your body is incredible!" Ali said to Ardin.
     "It is, isn't it?" Tren said. "He can come as many times  as
he wants!"
     "I heard Tren swallow. Can you produce spunk?"
     "Yes.  Erant at the Aransas port had my old spunk and  sweat
analyzed. I produce them in my body."
     Ali stared at him.
     "That  is incredible! I thought I smelled you, but I decided
I was imagining it."
     Tren laughed.
     "Ali,  he can cause any part of his body to produce orgasms.
He had me suck on his finger and he ejaculated into my mouth!"
     Ali shook his head.
     "He knows how to make his husband happy!"
     "He sure does. He is amazing and I love him."
     Ardin bent down and kissed him.
     "Lie down, Ardin. I want to suck you."
     "You do?"
     "Absolutely."
     Ardin  lay down and Tren lay next to him. They kissed  while
Ali  sucked Ardin. Tren stroked the side of Ardin's head as  they
kissed.
     After Ardin ejaculated, Tren looked at Ali.
     "You look worn out!"
     "Why don't you take a nap, Ali? You had a rough day, even if
you don't remember it."
     He nodded. He was tired.
     "I'll stay with you Ali," Tren said.
     Ali lay down and pulled Tren into his arms.
     "Are we all going to sleep together or do I need to move  to
the other cabin?" Ali asked.
     "I  think we can sleep together," Ardin said. "Once I figure
out how to sleep."
     "Oh! I didn't think about that," Tren said.
     Ali was relieved. He loved sleeping with Tren in his arms.
     Ardin got up and left the cabin.
     "I love sleeping with you, Ali. I don't want to stop."
     "Thank  you,  my love. I was afraid I would  have  to  start
sleeping alone again."
     "No. I want you with me."
     Ali turned Tren onto his back and kissed him. Then he looked
into Tren's eyes.
     "I love you, so much."
     "I  love  you, too. We are a threesome. I plan to spend  the
rest of my life with you, Ali. That's how much I love you."
     Ali  lay  back down and pulled Tren to him. They  both  fell
asleep.
     Tren  woke while Ali was still sleeping. He got out  of  bed
and went looking for Ardin. He found him in Glissent's cabin.  He
was  startled when he saw a strange naked Human talking to Ardin.
Ardin grinned at him.
     "This is Glissent's new look. What do you think?"
     Glissent  stood up and Tren's eyes widened  as  he  saw  his
cock. It was nice! Tren smiled.
     "You look great!"
     "I  am  pleased.  I  like this body. I think  the  face  has
character."
     At  Ardin's suggestion, his voice was lower in pitch  and  a
little raspy.
     "What made you decide to change your appearance?"
     "That  was my idea, Tren," Ardin said. "I thought  it  would
help Lis feel more like one of us."
     Tren nodded.
     Ardin  saw  Tren had become erect and he was trying  not  to
stare  at  Lis'  cock. Ardin pointed that out to Lis  over  their
private comm channel.
     "Can I speak to you for a minute, Ardin?"
     "Sure."
     Tren left the cabin and Ardin followed him.
     "Is  it  my  imagination, or did you  try  to  make  him  as
attractive to me as you possibly could?"
     Ardin chuckled.
     "I saw you get hard looking at him. Let's sit down."
     They walked to the living area and sat.
     "I  would like Lis to feel like part of our family. He  told
me  he  has never had a personal life. He wants one. He has never
had  a friend. Can you imagine living three hundred years without
a single friend?"
     "Oh, no!"
     "I  thought it would be easier to feel like one of us if  he
looked  like a Human. He thought so, too. I could have  made  him
look  like  anyone, but I thought why not make him attractive  to
you and me?"
     "I guess that makes sense."
     "He loves the body you gave him. He told me he feels like  a
biological in that body. I sent him my sex program and  he  loves
it."
     Ardin laughed.
     "He's been watching porn and beating off."
     Tren laughed.
     "You are kidding!"
     "No."
     "You've corrupted him! What will the king say?"
     "He plans to live with us, not the king."
     Tren nodded.
     "He  told me he has never been more excited. It is something
completely  new to him and he is hundreds of years  old.  Do  you
like the moustache?"
     "I love it. Do you want me to have sex with him?"
     "If you want to. You certainly don't have to."
     "Does he want to?"
     "He wants to try everything, so yes."
     Tren took Ardin's hand.
     "I just got you back. I want to focus on you for a while."
     Ardin hugged him.
     "I  know baby. You forget, we have all the time we want now.
And  I  was never far away. Just because you are having sex  with
Ali  or  Lis,  doesn't mean you can't be back in my arms  fifteen
minutes  later. We have time to do everything. Lis is eager,  but
he is also patient."
     Tren nodded.
     "Ali  told  me  he was afraid he would have to  go  back  to
sleeping alone."
     "No. You told him he didn't, didn't you?"
     "Yes."
     "Good.
     "Lis told me that he realized earlier how much Ali meant  to
him."
     "I felt the same way."
     "How would you feel about Ali having sex with him?"
     "It's  fine. It's just the four of us. It seems silly to  be
jealous  of a family member. And it isn't like I would feel  left
out  with just you! After all, you are the sexiest being  in  the
universe."
     "I'm glad you didn't say in the galaxy."
     Tren laughed.
     "You are much sexier than the sexiest person in this galaxy.
That's Ali, by the way."
     Ardin  chuckled."If I am in this galaxy, Ali cannot  be  the
sexiest."
     "You are right. Poor Ali. Only the second sexiest person  in
the galaxy."
     "Baby,  I had sex with him. I wanted Lis to see what it  was
like. Are you angry?"
     Tren thought about it. He didn't think he was. In a way,  he
was glad Ardin was making Lis feel like one of them.
     "No. I don't want Lis to be alone. I am glad you are helping
him."
     Tren bent down and kissed Ardin's cock.
     "I missed you so much!" he said to it.
     Ardin decided to try something. He tried to make sound  come
out of his penis.
     "I missed you, too."
     Tren  screamed,  "It talks! It's even more  amazing  than  I
thought it is!"
     They both laughed.
     Ardin held his love tightly.
     "I love you, baby. You are everything to me."
     Tren sighed, happily.
     "I feel the same."
     Lis  contacted the police, asking when they could leave  the
planet. There was no trial since Luregos was dead and the  matter
was considered closed. He was told they could leave whenever they
wished.
     Lis  saw  Tren kept looking at him. "Do you like me in  this
form?" Lis asked him.
     "You look amazing. Do you like it?"
     "Yes,  I really do. I feel biological in this body. It  will
take  a while for me to adjust completely. I am still working  on
facial  expressions like smiling. And when I look in a mirror,  I
wonder who that Human is."
     Tren chuckled.
     "Lis, why don't you and Tren go buy clothes. Ali and I  will
wait  here," Ardin said. He wanted to give Lis and Tren a  little
time alone.
     "We will?" Ali asked Tren.
     "Yes. You were kidnapped yesterday. As the captain, I am not
allowing you to do that again. At least not today."
     Ali laughed.
     "We can't go.uh."
     Tren looked at Lis's erect cock.
     Ardin chuckled and got a pair of his shorts. He handed  them
to Lis who held them.
     "You need to put them on."
     "Oh. Of course."
     Lis   hadn't  ever  worn  clothes,  but  he  understood  the
principle!
     The shorts were tight on Lis and Tren thought he filled them
out  well! When Lis turned around and Tren saw Lis' muscular  ass
in  the tight shorts, he got hard. Ardin was watching Tren and he
smiled.  For some reason, he saw Tren was trying not to  let  Lis
see  he  was  hard. He turned away from Lis and repositioned  his
cock in his pants.
     "You two have fun."
     Tren  looked  a little confused, but he left the  ship  with
Lis.
     "I don't know where the shops are," Tren said.
     "I do."
