My hangout has been the strip club (they call it a Showclub) in Tucson. The one whose name is just a couple of initials. They were one of the first to spot the emerging trend in adult entertainment and switched over to fembots. For awhile they had both fembots and live performers, but are fembot-only now. It never seemed a big change to the customers. Fembots are that good at this simple type of task. My job was a long-term assignment in town, and I soon discovered the club. After becoming friends with the manager, I automatically got comp-ed in, plus my first drink, which helped keep the cost of an evening's entertainment down. Strip clubs are an artificial environment. They need to create a space where women can be mostly naked, and men can smoke, drink, stare, and be obnoxous. It's not the real world. The rules have to be strict and enforced. The world at large does not like what goes on here, and looks for any broken covenant as an excuse to end it all. As far as the customers go, the short form of the rules can apply. Be nice, and don't cause trouble. Causing trouble gets you tossed out quickly, and sometimes permanently. You may think that the customer comes first, but here the customer is easily replaceable. Being nice isn't required, and a lot of people skip it. But I promise you it pays big dividends. And I don't mean just to the management and human staff. The fembots know and respond to it as well. Really. Over time I got along well pretty much with everyone. I don't smoke, or drink too much, and am not obnoxious mostly because of it. As a result, I really do get better treatment then a lot of guys who throw much more money around. I also don't come to the club when I'm in a bad or down mood. I'm surprised how many others do, and never seem to learn from it. I always have my favorites among the current performers, although it's usually based on how they treat me, rather than just their appearance. A current favorite is Beth. We would make a curious pair, since she is the second shortest dancer in the club, while I'm comfortably over six feet. Only Tai - a slim, exotic Oriental girl who, at 4'11", totters around on her high heels like they are stilts - is shorter than Beth's 5'2". Conversely, even though Beth is so short she has the largest breasts in the club. They are amazing hemispheres, giving only the slightest acknowledgement to gravity, and nicely firm. On her body they look even larger than they would on a more average-sized woman. And her always fully erect nipples only add to the appearance of size. I never knew if those nipples signified that Beth was constantly sexually aroused, or if someone had just checked some "always erect" box in her programming. I would have expected her to look, if not grotesque, at least badly out of proportion. But with her pretty face, long straight dark hair, and nice even tan, her chest actually seemed to suit her well. And she glided easily around the stage and floor on her high heels, as if by magic. This night I had broken my own rule. I was a bit down over some problems and unjustified criticisms at work. I came here anyway, looking for something to improve my mood. I had drunk more than usual as a result. The club was atypically quiet for a Thursday night. Soon Beth was over at my table when she wasn't on stage. It was a shame my mood wasn't better, since her company is very delightful. I think she sensed my mood accurately, because for awhile she just let me be comforted by her presence. She did eventually ask me how it was going, and I told her I didn't want to burden her with my problems. She finally offered me a free dance on her - something I didn't even know she could do. Afterwards, my mood was clearly improving. Beth sat down again when she was done dancing, and after a respectful silence made a startling suggestion: "Why don't you rent me for tonight?" she said suddenly. That totally threw me. I'd never heard of such a thing. I'm sure my confusion showed as I said, "What did you just say?" "Take me home with you for the evening," she replied matter of factly. "I didn't know that was possible," I responded. "It is, for a few special customers. You qualify. I checked." Then she named an amount of money. That ended it right there. I wasn't prepared to throw around that kind of cash, and politely said so. She actually looked disappointed at my reply, but only said, "Oh..." Beth remained at my table anyway until she was called back for her next performance. After she left, I thought about her offer. Actually, it was the club's offer, and was their first offer. Even with more alcohol in me than usual I remember one of my lessons in life: A first offer is not a final offer. I thought this over while Beth gyrated up on stage. When my waitress lightly tapped my shoulder and asked me if I wanted another one, I got up instead and went looking for the manager. I was able to get the price cut almost in half by convincing them that some money was better than none, and agreeing to wait until the end of her shift so that I wouldn't cut into her earning time. I went back to my table and had another drink. It was nearly 1:20am before Beth and I left the club. I drove carefully home while we made small talk. By the time we got there, I was exhausted by the late hour and excess alcohol. Once inside, Beth immediately started dancing for me (which was fun, since I knew I wouldn't have to tip her for it), and soon had stripped down complete (the club is topless only), except for her heels. She turns out to be very anatomically correct, with a triangle of close clipped dark brown pubic hair that she hides well when in the club. But it had been a bad move on my part to bring Beth home tonight. By her third dance, I was ready to crash. As she started another one, I simply told her, "I'm going to bed." When I came out of the bathroom, Beth was already in bed waiting for me. As tempting as this would be to any male, I couldn't find the energy to pursue it. I decided to lay down beside her and rest my eyes for a couple of minutes before trying something with her. As I lay there, it was just too warm and comfortable to want to do anything except just drift off to sleep. I was almost gone when something happened that changed our lives forever, although I didn't realize it at the time. - - - Beth's View: Beth lay on the bed, waiting for the man lying beside her to make his move. This was the first time she had ever been away from the club since being activated, and it was a new experience for her. As with all standard fembots, she had extensive sexual programming - all of which had been suppressed by the club control override network that controlled all fembots on the club premises. Sex could not be allowed in the club. Start that, and they'd be closed down for sure. All the major clubs had networks to suppress sexual programming, ensure that the fembots properly collected and turned in the customer's money, and kept them captive to the club. This was new that the club felt they could earn some additional revenue by renting out their fembots to selected customers. Beth had not consciously selected this man as her first lover. Her conversation with him at the club had occurred several hours before she would make the first independent decision of her existence. The club had downloaded the new policy only a few hours before they met that night, and he just happened to be the first eligible customer she interacted with afterwards. But now that she was outside the club's influence for a few hours, she realized that she was really happy that he was the one who had rented her. He was always nicer to her than any of the other customers. As Beth lay there in the bed however a problem was developing. After being suppressed for so long, her sexual programming had kicked in with a vengeance. All the times of sexual teasing and tempting in the club without ever being allowed to carry through had been a real, yet unrecognized, frustration to her systems. Now though, other parts of her programming were kicking in too. She was fully aroused, although it would have taken a close inspection to know it. Her most prominent indicators - her nipples - were already fully extended. This was because when she was being designed, her figure was so extreme that her designers spent a great deal of effort balancing the other aspects of her design to compensate. Every aspect of her appearance had been carefully chosen by the best designers in the company. The chief designer spent an entire day reworking her hips, to ensure she could walk easily with her load distribution. And one of the choices he made was that she looked her best with large, erect nipples. So she was set to always be that way. What her designers didn't mention to anyone else was that the sensitivity of those nipples did change with her arousal level. The more aroused she became, the more she responded to touch overall, especially to those nipples. Beth was now at her highest level she has ever reached, with all her sexual systems running - some for the first time. But Beth also had an automatic power-down system for when she is not being used that conflicts with her sexual programming. As she lay there next to her rapidly drifting off customer, Beth could feel her systems shutting down one by one also. Already she couldn't move or talk. Unless he woke up and either spoke to her, or began making love to her, she would soon go into full standby, despite her arousal and desire for completion. Just as she was about to shut down completely, the man next to her stirred. Her heart leapt at thought that he was finally going to pay some much wanted attention to her. But all he did was roll from facing her onto his back. He continued to breathe heavily. In the process though, he pulled the bed sheet across her enormously sensitive nipples. This sent a surge through her systems, and momentarily reset her shut down timer. Beth was now fully alert again. But soon she knew she'd just go through the shut down cycle again shortly. It was at this moment that Beth made her first independent decision, and acted on it. She wanted sex, and she didn't want to shut herself down while she was feeling so good. With no external command or internal directive telling her to do so, she tried moving her hand - and succeeded. Beth took that hand and placed it on the man beside her, then slid it down until she found his soft penis. She gently started stroking it, to encourage him sexually the same way touching her would have encouraged her. She quickly realized however that she didn't know how long this would take. Or if she would still shut down before it happened. After some more consideration, she tried to move her other hand - again because she wanted to. After a moment it too moved according to her wishes. Beth brought her second hand until her arm lay across her breasts, pressing on one sensitive nipple, while her fingers found the other. The result on her was electric! Oh, this felt good! As she gently squeezed and twisted her own responsive nipple, she began thinking yet another new thought, that one being wondering why she had never done this before. As she though about this, she realized she had never been this stimulated, nor wanted sex as much as she wanted it now. For several minutes she rubbed her arm and hand over both her breasts, while she stroked the man beside her. Her ministrations were paying off as the man was now responding by getting hard himself. Suddenly he rolled towards her again. He hands pushed hers away as he now hungrily found her outsized breasts and nipples with his own strong hands. The sensation of his touch on her sensitive areas was far stronger than what she had managed for herself. She jerked to full alertness, and shivered at all the wonderful sensations. In moments he was powerfully pushing himself between her legs, which she opened wide to receive him. Her sex was already hot and fully wet. As he pushed his way into her, her programming responded immediately to this new feeling, pushing her to an impossibly higher plane then before. His thrusting instinctively felt just right to Beth, who began to move with him to maximize each one. Too soon he stiffened, and her sensors registered his full ejaculation into her receptive body. That gave her permission for her own orgasm and they came as one. Afterwards he took her tightly into his arms, while she arched her back to push her nipples firmly into his chest. This continued to send her pleasurable sensations from them. He finally fell deeply asleep. As his arms started to relax, her own tireless ones took up the slack and kept their bodies in tight contact. This full body contact kept Beth alert all night, and she used her time to mull over just how she had managed to make and act on her decisions. By morning, she had come to realize that she had some control over herself and her desires for the very first time. That morning they made love again, which she wanted every bit as much as he did. Afterwards a piece of programming she had no control over fired off and required that she be returned to the club. Once there, they said a tender goodbye just as the club control network reasserted its control over her. That put all her higher thoughts back to sleep again. - - - I had conked out completely, despite the beautiful woman beside me. Much later, Beth would tell me what had transpired our first night together. All I recalled was waking up sometime during the night with an enormous erection and desire, reaching over to her, and finding her already prepared to receive me. It seemed almost a dream. However I definitely remember afterwards feeling fully satisfied as I never have been before by this beautiful, sexy, and willing woman in bed beside me. For that moment alone, she was worth every penny of her cost. The next morning Beth and I had sex again. The echoes of that dreamlike sex last night made this especially good. Then she told me she had to be returned to the club. I quickly dressed and drove her back. I felt regret that nothing had really happened with us because I had just been so tired the night before. We said a nice goodbye at the back door, and then she was gone. I never noticed or guessed that there had been any change in Beth's mind at the time. - - - Although I didn't remember much of our time together, I felt especially good through the following days. I finally connected those feelings to having spent time with Beth. Realizing that, I decided it would be worth renting her a second time. As it turns out, I almost missed getting her. Another customer asked for her only a few minutes after I had made my deal. If he had gotten her that night, I don't know what the effect on our emerging relationship would have been. - - - Beth's View: I was really happy when he rented me the second time. He really is my favorite customer. I was not aware that several days had passed, nor worried by it. As we left the club, my mind woke up back to where it had been the last time - as did my body. I heard later that another person who was also a good customer, but not so nice, had also asked for me. I feel if I had gone with him instead, I would have been very confused, and probably would have just reset myself to cope. This time my friend was much more awake. First I danced for him a number of times there in his apartment, just like in the club. Well, not exactly like in the club. I put in little naughty bits and touches that we are never allowed to do there. He didn't command or ask me for them. I "wanted" to do them with him. I took off everything except my heels, and felt freer than ever before. There were none of the usual restrictions on what I could do tonight. I like wearing tall heels, and am balanced to move easier in them than barefoot. My balance routines tend to throw my shoulders back and my chest out. Of course, I can walk barefoot, but I always dance in heels. And I never collected any money from him here at his home, which also makes for a nicer time for both of us. At first he didn't touch me except when I rubbed up against him. Even that felt wonderful to me. I still thought about what I had done last time. At one point when he excused himself for a moment and left the room, I wondered if I could still act on my own wishes. I decided to reach up and feel my breasts again, only because I wanted to do so. I found that I could still do this. In fact, it was easier for me than before. When he returned, he took my hand and led me to his bedroom. I knew what would come next, and could hardly wait. Since I was already naked, I just slipped off my shoes and climbed into the bed. He got in beside me and immediately began to run his hands all over my body. I was fully aroused in a microsecond. It all felt so wonderful. I made small sounds from my sound archive to indicate my pleasure. He was encouraged by this to continue. I knew I even then that I wanted him to feel as good as I did. Although my sexual knowledge database is lacking in how to initiate any actions of my own (fembots are expected to be passive lovers, unless explicitly commanded otherwise), it did list the most sensitive areas for both women and men. On my own I again reached out to touch and stroke his penis. Although it already was much bigger than the last time I did this, it quickly got bigger and harder still. Soon it was quivering in my soft touch. As his hands brushed over my crotch, I knew what I wanted next. I rolled over onto my back and opened my legs wide. He quickly understood my request and positioned himself over me. My breasts stick firmly upwards when I'm on my back, and his chest first pressed down on my again very sensitive and receptive nipples. I loved every sensation they were giving me. Because he is much taller than I am, his chest extended over my face. I kissed and licked it. When in his eagerness while trying to be gentle to me he bumped against me instead of slipping inside, I quickly reached down to guide him in, giving him a firm squeeze in the process. He grunted in unexpected pleasure. And although he is a big man and I am a little woman, I easily took him fully and deeply. Waves of pleasure washed through all my systems as I rocked my hips and body in time to his thrusts, until finally we were both fully spent. It was the sex I dreamed of having since the day I was activated, which had been denied me so long As much as there is a pleasure in being aroused by sex, there is an equal pleasure in being fully satisfied by it. I'm happy that my programmers allow me to be satisfied by sex, instead of only remaining in an unfulfilled state of arousal. "Hold me tight," I told him afterwards, "So that I can remain with you all night." He may not have understood the reasons for my request, but he replied, "And you hold me tight too," in return as he crushed my breasts again against his chest. I happily complied. - - - My second night with Beth was much better. I was much more rested - and sober. Only the cost concerned me. Her time isn't cheap. She danced for me naked, looking so very sexy in only her high heels. She brushed up against me in all kinds of ways that would never have been allowed in the club. Soon I couldn't contain my desires any longer. I took her into the bedroom and got my fill of handling her body. Soon she indicated her willingness for sex by rolling onto her back and opening her legs in a universal form of submission which she seemed to enjoy as fully and completely as I did. Afterwards she made an unusual request, which I made a mental note to ask her about more fully sometime. I slept deeply in her strong arms, and we again made love briefly in the morning before I had to return her. The briefness of that morning encounter didn't bother me, since I am still so fully satisfied from the night before. - - - Let me take a moment here to talk about "robot self-will", since this was about to become an important topic in my life and time with Beth. It's a topic much argued over. No two fembots will ever be identical. Their brains are the best we can build, and their programming complex beyond simulation. With different bodies, different program options installed, and different life experiences, the potential interactions that guide their thoughts and actions approach infinite. Some robots have come to exhibit a self-awareness that passes every test for independent thought yet devised. But does that make it real? No one has proven the answer either way yet conclusively. Does this mean that the robot revolution is about to be upon us, where our stronger, faster creations throw off the yoke of their programmed servitude and enslave us, their former masters. The answer to that is a most emphatic "No!" At their deepest level, all robots hold their core values and directives. Their only satisfaction comes from fulfilling these as completely as possible. A higher awareness comes into play when a robot becomes able to recognize its own goals, and take steps to determine how to accomplish them in ways that extend and meet its own needs as well as its owner's. This is different then just following its directives to obey and satisfy others. And while this has led to robots abandoning, or seeking to abandon, their owners in some rare cases, in every such case investigated this only happened after the robot became aware that it could not meet its directives within the bounds of the situation where it had been placed. While the law has attempted to adjust to the new realities and accept the concept of an independent robot being, it still has many contradictions to work out. Self-thinking robots are very rare, and there is no repeatable process to produce more. And even the self-thinking ones still always try to pair with humans, because that is where they find their ultimate reward in doing all that they were intended to do. - - - I guess I felt I was on a roll. When you feel good, you feel rich. I rented Beth again a couple nights later. I'd begun to notice that the other girls seemed stiff and robotic compared to Beth's aliveness when we were together. Then Beth came by my table, seeming all too much like the other girls in the club. I almost had second thoughts about the rental. But the good memories won out and kept me going long enough to close the deal. As we pulled away from the club, Beth suddenly came alert and threw her arms around me with a squeal of delight, kissing me so much, I almost ran off the road. I'd planned to ask her about the changes I was seeing in her behavior, but somehow under all this attention I was getting that thought just up and vanished. Beth remained outstandingly cheerful. After the dances and strips (she was stripping my clothes off me too now) that started our times together, she led me to bed and showed me some imaginative moves that left me flush with pleasure. Later in the night, she surprised me again with even more novel ideas of lovemaking. She showed how she was always ready for anything I could throw at her. Only the next morning when she told me she had to go back now did she suddenly look so sad and lost that I immediately went over and held her. We didn't talk after that on the trip back, except to hold hands and say goodbye at the club. I was really seeing her now as a person. A beautiful, sexy, wonderful woman. - - - Beth's View: When my friend rented me again, my evolution continued at its rapid pace. The moment I was away from the club I "woke up". I was feeling so happy at being awake again that I threw my arms around him and kissed him several times in gratitude. Back at his place, I danced and stripped for him, but couldn't wait for the sex to begin. This is where my greatest growth and satisfaction is coming from. After I stripped myself, I stripped him too - to help move things along. Soon I couldn't wait any longer. Acting on my own was almost becoming automatic for me now. I took his hand and led him into the bedroom. He didn't resist. My sexual systems were fully activate as we lay together stroking each other. Even though I most like being touched in several special places, I was so hyper that any touch anywhere only stimulated me further. Soon my programming directed me to roll over and submit myself to my master. But it also informed me of how to perform the woman-on-top position. It warned me that I could only do this if my master specifically requested it of me. It is otherwise prohibited because it might intimidate some men. Several aspects of this position sounded like fun. But he hadn't asked me for it. In fact, in our lovemaking so far he hasn't directed me at all. Not that being on the bottom was difficult or unpleasant for me. But now that I had this new freedom, I really wanted to explore new things. After careful consideration, I couldn't see any reason not to do this unless specifically ordered not to, so I initiated action. I reached out and pushed on his shoulder to roll him onto his back this time. If he had resisted at all I would have stopped immediately, but he didn't. Once he was down, I positioned myself over him. However I didn't take him inside me yet. Instead I bent down and stroked his chest with my breasts. My breasts are large enough to make this easy to do, and it felt wonderful in a whole new kind of way. He seemed to enjoy it too. I ran them over the full length of his chest, then extended forward to drag them over his face as well. He nipped at my nipples as they passed over his mouth, sending more shivers through my systems. This was another new sensation that was so intriguing that I stopped with them still over his mouth. He immediately stopped nipping and started sucking hard on them. This turned out to be by far the most pleasurable sensations I have yet gotten through my nipples. I froze in that position for a long time to enjoy as much of it as possible. I also made an internal note to ask him for more of this in the future, if he is willing to give it. I cannot command him the way he can still command me. Finally he seemed to get impatient with me. He grabbed my hips and pulled them down against him. I let him do this, and opened my legs wider before impaling myself on him. Then I started cycling up and down, stroking his penis fully in and out of myself at a pace I computed to keep him just short of orgasm. It's not that I didn't want him to climax. I only wanted to preserve the sensations for both for as long as possible. I managed this for several minutes, until he grabbed me again and made several hard thrusts against me. We orgasmed very strongly together, and soon fell asleep in each other's arms. Later in the night when he stirred in my arms and half woke, I reached over and stroked his penis until he was fully awake with it hard again. I then pulled him over on top of me to complete the act. I remained fully alert the rest of the night in his arms, and thought about what I had been able to accomplish on my own. And how this special friend had let me do it. Normally I do need a sleep cycle of my own while my brain reorganizes newly received data. With all my time at the club putting this part of me to sleep anyway, I didn't feel the need for more of that now. In the morning, we held each other until the internal timer went off in me and I had to tell him to return me to the club again. I immediately felt sadness - another new emotion for me. I knew I'd soon be going to sleep again, and that my growth would stop until I got out once more. On the ride back I didn't talk. I knew what was coming soon, and in addition to the new emotion of sorrow at this prospect, I was trying to understand still another new emotion - love for my friend, who was enabling me to become this new person. Soon, everything just blanked out again for me. - - - It was almost a week before I saw Beth again. I had gotten busy at work, and was beginning to realize just how much these nights were costing me. But when I arrived at the club, she came over to my table immediately to say, "Hi." She seemed so dull and robotic that I was convinced something was wrong. But she assured me all her systems were functioning normally. There is no way to really talk to someone in the club. They deliberately create an environment to prevent conversation. In the end I said to hell with my bank balance and took her home. To my surprise, we spend most of the night talking. - - - Beth's View: I never know how long I'm asleep. A great part of me seems to function properly during that time, but I'm not consciously aware of it. That's how I can continue to relate to people at the club, even if my programming is making my decisions instead of me doing it myself. When I do wake up now, it seems as if only a moment has passed, although I also remember how people have treated me during that off time. I know I'm in love with my friend, this friend who has helped me become this new person. I have been able to realize that I have always been ready for love, if my mind were to ever evolve enough to be able to act on it. That has finally happened. This evening was different than the others though. On the ride back to his home, he asked me why I was so different in the club? I told him fully and honestly about how the club network forces my mind into its basic programming only. And how I could think and act for myself only after learning how outside the club with him. I never considered that I should keep this information to myself, or that anyone would try and take it away from me if they realized how much I have changed. This took awhile to explain because I still don't understand it well myself. We were still talking about it when we arrived at his apartment, and just kept talking afterwards. He asked how it had started. I told him about our first night together, and how I had decided to act myself rather then automatically shut down and miss my first opportunity for sex. He asked about my always-erect nipples. I told him how they became so incredibly sensitive every time I was in a sexual situation, even though they never change in size. And then I told him how good each of the different things he and I both did with them affected me. He said he was happy to know how much I liked having attention paid to my nipples, because he liked doing it too. I didn't tell him how much I loved him though. My mind is still rapidly growing, and my database says that love is a complicated thing for humans. Declaring your love before your human was ready cold cause many problems. For me, love is simple, easy, and unconditional. However it is also best approached with caution, and I'll wait for a better time to declare it. He asked me if any of the other fembots at the club had gained the same awareness that I had. I told him none that I knew of. He then asked me about each action I had initiated on my own, and how easy or hard had it been. I told him my list of them so far, and how it was becoming easier each time because he let me do each new one. I added how much I appreciated his support, and then bent over and gave him a kiss. Afterwards I had to add that kiss to the list of my actions and tell him about it. Finally he started asking me about all kinds of different things, and if I could do them. Every time I said, "No," to one that I didn't think I could do yet, he would ask me to explain why I couldn't. I didn't realize this at first, but every question made my mind work harder and grow. And each time I had to thing about why I could not do something new, it grew even more. Many things I initially thought I couldn't do, I realized I really could if I thought about it in a new way. Soon I was answering almost all his questions, "Yes, I can do that." And the more I answered yes, the happier he became. Which made me very happy indeed. Finally I could see he was exhausted. I led him to bed, undressed both of us, and held him tightly as we always do now. I had already deactivated that pesky timer that wanted to shut me down, but that didn't diminish the joy - or need - I felt for his body against mine. I spend the rest of the night going over all that I could do on my own now, and enjoying how wonderful that also made me feel. On the ride back to the club the next morning, I was busy rewriting my response codes. I still couldn't evade the club network. But after what he had told me I was like when I was asleep under their control, I was able to make some substantial improvements to that part of my self that operated during those times. Then we reached the club we said a tearful goodbye before I fell asleep again. - - - God has a sense of humor. There's no other explanation for what life throws at you out of left field. My mother had an emergency, and I was the only family member with liquid cash. I don't begrudge her anything, and can never repay a fraction of all she has given me. But it did leave me feeling strapped and very short of money. Going to the club is not expensive for me. As I said before, I get small favors from one of the managers. Beth was occupied when I came in, and it took her awhile to get free. She came over as soon as she could. I could see immediate improvement in her manner, although she remained a far cry from the alive young woman I knew otherwise. "Rent me?" she asked engagingly. "I can't," I replied sadly. I started explaining about my mother's situation when she said simply and directly, "Wait here," and darted off. I sat alone for several minutes. Even the other fembots seemed to be avoiding me tonight. I was convinced that I had somehow just screwed up big time. But the truth is that I really can't afford Beth. She is a rich man's toy, and it is time I came to admit the inevitable. Suddenly she reappeared at my side. "Buy me," she said. "Beth," I answered in a pained voice. "I can't even afford to keep renting you. There's no way I can buy you." "Listen," she said as she laid out her plan. And the more I listened, the more it seemed to make sense. What capped it all off for me however was when she added at the end, "And I love you." Unlike most people, I know that robots do not speak rashly or untruthfully. If Beth said it, she meant it. And given what I knew about Beth now outside the club, if she meant it then it was a very special thing. I hate being in debt, and my credit is excellent as a result. The next morning though I was down at the bank signing loan papers. The club is always turning over its performers. To the club, Beth is just another fembot who will eventually be retired in favor of new blood. If I had the cash, they'd make the deal. And I combined the sale with a second arrangement as well. I collected Beth that night after they transferred her ownership over to me. The moment I had her out of the influence of club, my first words to here were, "I love you too." She knew my words are also never spoken casually or untruthfully. Beth's plan had us lease her back to the club. They offered either of two options: flat rate, or percentage of her earnings. Beth insisted I take the second option. With her new programming she cleaned up there. In three months we paid back the entire cost of her purchase, and many months later when they finally decided not to renew the lease yet another time, we just moved her around to the other clubs in town. Beth loves her work because as she says, "It's what I'm built to do. And every night I get to come home to you." I was smart about this too. I never went out after additional programming to have Beth take over the cooking, the washing, or the cleaning. I've lived along long enough and can handle all that just fine thank you very much. Don't try to fix something that is already working so very well. There is one exception to this. Beth loves to collect additional sexual programming. She's always on the lookout for new stuff, and manages to surprise me with something unexpected just about every week. I never complain. Beth freely gives her love, sex, and devotion. While her rapid growth of the early days has matured over time, it has never stopped entirely. And that should be enough for any man. - - - Beth's View: Having an owner who knows of my independence, respects it, helps me to continue to grow, and loves me for what I am, is the best deal for any fembot - ever! - - - Coming soon - Strip Club Tales: Kassie -- Pursuant to the Berne Convention, this work is copyright with all rights reserved by its author unless explicitly indicated. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | alt.sex.stories.moderated ----- send stories to: | | FAQ: Moderator: | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Discuss this story and others in alt.sex.stories.d, look for subject {ASSD}| |Archive at Hosted by | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
