Woo Hoo, another writer exploring the dark and nasty side of the Big O. Hee Hee.
Celi, that was really good.
As for us being weirdos: Thanks, but flattery will get you nowhere.
Here is mine. It may be a little long winded.

“Roger, are you sure you want to do this?” Dorothy asked hesitantly. She seemed willing to move on, but feared Roger wasn’t. “We can take it slowly, if you like?”
Roger’s brow was sweaty and his cheeks blushed. He worried that they have been taking their relationship too fast. He invited her to stay with him only a few days after negotiating for her release. Days later, she became a vital partner in his negotiations. Now, he was doing the unthinkable.
He stared at her with anxiety in his eyes. The act he was going to perform was considered taboo. Most people wouldn’t accept such interactions with an android. What was the point of doing this with an android anyway?
Then a thought had occurred to him. Was it so bad to do this with somebody you care for? He never felt so alive before meeting her. He could think of no other way to show his true feelings for Dorothy. It had to be done.
“Dorothy, I can’t think of any other person I would do this with,” Roger replied smoothly. “You know I trust you.”
Dorothy became excited and anxious at the same time. “But, what would your friends and associates think? Have you ever considered that?”
Roger nodded his head. He didn’t care what anybody else thought. The only other person he actually cared for his opinion was Norman; and he was for it. “Yes, I’ve thought about it. But, I don’t care. I think you should experience the bliss of life. This is a part of it.”
Dorothy looked away from him, and said, “You do know that this is illegal. Technically, androids are not allowed and I don’t want you to get incarcerated for this act.”
Roger became angry; he was tired of all the talk about her being a mere android. As far as he was concerned, she was a lady. He knew his feeling of her would never change on that subject. In an attempt to conceal his frustration, he replied, “Dorothy, you are more than an android and you know that. Now, I am getting impatient. I really want to do this. Don’t you?”
Dorothy turned towards him and gave a hint of a smile. She made a slight gesture as if she wanted to hug him, but stopped herself. “I’ve never done this before. Where do we start?”
With a smirk on his face, he answered, “First, place the key into the ignition. Make sure the Gryphon is in neutral!” He could see she was excited, even though it was well concealed. “Just remember, don’t go too fast. I don’t need a ticket.”
“Thank you, Roger.”
