The sun was just beginning to appear on the horizon when Cal began to stir. Letting out a little groan, the man rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and turned in his seat to face Andi, who was seated behind the steering wheel. The PleasureBot turned her head toward him, meeting his tired eyes with a bright smile.
“Good morning, sleepy head,” she said with a grin. “How’d you sleep?”
“Ungh,” Cal groaned, sitting upright in the passenger seat.
“That rough, eh?” Andi asked.
“Yeah,” he admitted. “My mind just wouldn’t shut off. Every time I was almost asleep, some new thought would pop into my head. It was definitely a long night.” As he spoke, his eyes shifted, taking in the relatively flat farmland that seemed to stretch into eternity. “So, where are we?”
“Somewhere in western Nebraska,” Andi replied. “When we got into Denver, I decided it would be better to come up this way instead of staying on Interstate 70, since it took us an hour to realize that your cell phone could be tracked.”
“Makes sense. That was good thinking, by the way,” Cal replied, bringing a little smile to Andi’s face. “Which reminds me. Next time you see signs of civilization, pull over. I need a bathroom break, and we’ve got to get a new phone so I can reach out to Dr. Nichols. Also, I’m starving.”
“I can’t blame you,” Andi replied. “It’s been over twelve hours since you had a meal. You’ve got to take better care of yourself.”
“Yes, dear,” Cal said with a chuckle.
Andi scanned the navigation map for a good place to stop. A short while later, the truck pulled up to a convenience station outside of the city of North Platte.
“I’m going to hit the restroom,” Cal announced as they exited the truck. “See if you can track down a prepaid cell phone, and I’ll meet you at the checkout. Then we can go grab a bite to eat in their diner before we get back on the road.”
“It’s a deal.” Andi gave Cal a quick kiss, and the two headed into the store.
While Cal used the restroom, Andi found the rack of prepaid phones and picked one out. A few minutes later, she and Cal paid for the phone, walked through the store over to the attached diner, and grabbed a seat at an open table.
As they sat down, a trucker on the opposite side of the diner noticed Andi and let out an appreciative whistle. Andi rolled her eyes, and Cal gave the man a quick glare.
“Some people have no manners,” Andi whispered to Cal as he worked to free the new phone from its plastic case.
“To be fair, you’re the hottest thing in this diner,” Cal replied. Andi grinned, blushing slightly.
When the server arrived at their table, Cal ordered their breakfast platter, while Andi politely insisted that all she wanted was a glass of water. A few minutes later, Cal was setting up his new phone while eating his breakfast and going over the plan with Andi.
“So I think our best bet is to try and make it to Dr. Nichols,” Cal began. “I don’t know anyone else who I’d trust enough to help us out.”
“Where is he located?” Andi asked.
“Philadelphia. From here it’s probably a three-day drive. Maybe two if we pushed it. I don’t think we have to, though. I saw in the news that Milton’s already in Paris, and he’s not due to return to the states for four days. Hopefully that gives us enough time to figure out where we can stash you.”
Andi was about to ask a question, but just then, a bot walked into the diner’s entrance and headed up to the counter. The same trucker who had whistled at Andi stood up, scowling, and pointed straight at the bot.
“Hey you!” He shouted, causing the bot to turn toward the man. “Yeah, you, you worthless, no-good abomination. I didn’t come in here to see some fuckin’ bot. Why don’t you get out of here before I show you what a real man does to metal scum like you.”
“Calm down, sir,” the woman behind the register said. “It’s just picking up its owner’s food and then it’s leaving.”
“I don’t care why it’s here,” the man shot back, standing up. “I want it gone. Robots are taking everything that’s good from us humans. There ain’t no reason any one of us should tolerate those freaks!”
A worried expression crossed Andi’s face as the man took a step toward the bot at the register.
“I said get out of here!” The man snapped, taking another step closer to the bot. The bot took a step backward.
“I mean no harm,” the bot said.
The man clenched his fist and took another step forward. “Well, that makes one of us.”
Cal shook his head. “I can’t just watch this go down,” he whispered to Andi. Before she could stop him, Cal pushed himself up from his table and moved to stand between the bot and the man. “Come on,” he said to the trucker. “Just take a breath and head back to your table. This bot isn’t hurting anyone.”
The man fumed, stepping toe-to-toe with Cal before growling out his words. “Well, what do we have here? Some traitor pro-botter trash? The only thing I hate more than a bot is the trash humans that protect ‘em. Maybe I should show you what we do to traitors where I come from.”
“Maybe you should just head back to your seat and let everyone get on with their day,” Cal replied.
Cal’s words barely escaped his lips when the trucker shifted, swinging his fist and connecting with Cal’s jaw, sending him crumpling to the floor.
“Cal!” Andi cried, rising up from her seat.
“That’s enough!”
The room fell silent, and all eyes turned to the woman behind the register as she produced a handgun from beneath the counter. “Now you,” she said, leveling the gun at the trucker. “You have no right to go attacking my customers and impeding my business. I’m giving you ten seconds to walk out that door and never come back.”
The man glared at the woman. “A bunch of greasy robot lovers,” he growled, stepping around where Cal lay on the floor, moving slowly toward the diner entrance. “You’ll all learn soon enough. New robots are coming. When they get here, none of us are safe. And you,” he added, pointing directly at Andi. “You better find yourself a better boyfriend than your little robot-lover over there. Dumb bitches like you are the first ones the robots are going to come for in the uprising.”
The woman behind the register cocked the gun’s hammer. “Now, sir.”
The man gave her a dirty look, then turned and stormed out the door, heading straight for his semi. Andi ran over to Cal, stooping down and helping him into a sitting position.
“Are you okay?” Andi asked as he rubbed his quickly discoloring jaw.
“Never better,” he groaned. “And now you know why I’ve never put my business information on my truck. Those anti-botters sure are an exciting bunch, aren’t they?”
“Oh my God,” Andi whispered as she helped him back to their table. “I was so scared, Cal. I mean, that guy was coming unhinged. What if he’d realized that I was a bot?”
“Trust me, that wasn’t about to happen,” Cal said with a little grin. “I’ve been inside you, and even then I can’t tell any difference.”
Andi let out a little laugh. “Well, thank you, good sir. I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“As you should,” Cal replied.
When the two headed back to Cal’s truck, Andi couldn’t take her eyes off the man. Her neural network was alive with activity, registering a multitude of thoughts and emotions. She was thankful to have a partner on this journey who she felt would try to protect her. She was worried that his jaw was going to be sore. She was relieved that the trucker didn’t identify her as a bot.
And if she was honest, she was more than a little bit horny, too.
Once the truck was moving, Andi leaned over, planting a kiss on Cal’s cheek.
“Thanks.” He smiled. “What was that for?”
“I don’t know. I guess I’m feeling a little overwhelmed with emotions. They’re still kind of new to me, you know? What you did back there in that diner was so brave. You didn’t know that bot, and you didn’t have to step in, but you did anyway. It made me feel like, I don’t know, like if it had been me in that position, you’d have done the same thing.”
“Thanks,” Cal said. “If I’m being honest, I don’t know if I’d have been that brave a week ago. At least not for a bot. But since I met you, I’ve been thinking a lot more about what it really means to be human. Trudy always used to say that she saw humanity as a condition, not a species. She believed that humanity boiled down to who we are and how we treat others, especially those who are different from us. When I look at who you are, Andi, it’s like I’ve finally begun to understand what she meant. You might be a collection of man-made parts, but what I see in you is humanity, and if that exists in you, what’s to say it couldn’t exist in any bot out there? And if that’s the case, how could I possibly stand by and do nothing?”
“Wow,” Andi said, a single tear trickling down her cheek. “That’s incredible to hear, Cal.”
Cal smiled, then patted Andi on the knee. “Anyway, enough about me. We should really call Dr. Nichols and see what he thinks about your scans.”
Andi agreed, and Cal grabbed the phone, punching in the doctor’s number and activating the speakerphone. A few seconds later, a friendly, older-sounding male voice came on the line.
“This is Stanley.”
“Dr. Nichols,” Cal began. “It’s Cal Hopkins. I’m sorry it took so long to get back to you. It’s been a long couple of days.”
“Cal!” The man’s tone immediately became more animated as he spoke. “My lord, son, I’m so glad to hear from you! I’m still sitting here in shock from those files you sent me. They’re simply incredible!”
“Oh yeah? Well, if you’re interested in meeting the bot behind them, I’ve got her here with me.”
You do?” Dr. Nichols’ excitement was plainly evident over the phone. “Please, can I speak with her?”
“You sure can,” Cal began. “She’s sitting next to me in my truck. Say hello to Andi.”
“Hi, Dr. Nichols,” Andi began. “Cal’s said some really kind things about you.”
“Likewise,” the doctor responded. “I can’t tell you how delighted I am to be able to speak with you! In fact, this might be one of the most exciting moments of my life.”
“That good, huh?” Cal asked. “So, what can you tell us?”
“What I can tell you,” the man replied excitedly, “is that the bot sitting there next to you is without a doubt the world’s first truly sentient bot. I’ve been pouring over her neural network scans, and they’re simply remarkable. The number of neural connections is well beyond the theoretical threshold of consciousness, and her internalization of her emotional matrix is striking proof of her consciousness.”
“Wow,” Cal and Andi replied in unison. Looking at each other, the two giggled, then Cal began to speak.
“So I’m guessing from your tone that this won’t bother you too much, but we’re on the road, heading in your direction. I was hoping you could help us figure out our next steps.”
“You are?” the doctor said. “That’s wonderful. I can’t wait to meet Andi in person. Oh, lord, there are so many tests I’d like to run. This is the biggest breakthrough since Eve was unveiled fifty years ago. There isn’t a researcher in robotics who wouldn’t give anything to be able to study every millimeter of your neural pathways, Andi!”
“Oh, really?” Andi asked, her voice wavering slightly.
Cal picked up on Andi’s worried tone, along with her expression that had shifted from smiling to a slight frown. “So, actually, Doc,” he said. “That’s something we’re both a little afraid of happening. One of the first things I promised Andi was that I wouldn’t let some scientist take her apart to see how she ticks. So if that’s what you’re thinking—”
“Oh, no, no, no, my boy,” Dr. Nichols interjected. “I’m so sorry if I made it sound like that was going to happen. No, Andi, as far as I’m concerned, you are as much of a person as Cal, me, or any other human, and that means I’m going to fiercely defend your rights. Dismantling you, or even laying a finger on you without your consent, would be completely unethical. The most I would hope for would be to connect through your interface port and run some of my own non-invasive tests. I will do everything in my power to ensure that you are respected as any other person would be”
Andi exhaled, her expression becoming noticeably more calm.
Cal smiled. “Thanks for that, Doc. So we’ve got this other problem that I didn’t mention to you in my message. Remember how I told you that I was rescuing Andi from an abusive owner? What I didn’t tell you is that the owner is Milton Lawrence.”
As soon as the name escaped Cal’s lips, a dead silence hung in the air for what felt like an eternity.
“Dr. Nichols?” Cal finally asked. “Did I lose you?”
When the doctor’s voice returned to the line, every hint of his prior excitement was wiped away. “I’m sorry,” he said, “but you mean to tell me that Andi was the property of Milton Lawrence, as in the trillionaire, Milton Lawrence?”
“Yeah,” Cal admitted. “Is this bad?”
“Very,” Dr. Nichols replied. “What do you know about the man’s reputation?”
“Just what I see on the news,” Cal admitted. “It seems like he can be a pretty ruthless businessman.”
“Describing Mr. Lawrence as ruthless is an understatement. His fortune is heavily invested in robotics, so I’ve heard numerous stories about the man from colleagues. His expectations are often unattainable, he has a notoriously terrible temper, and he stops at nothing to get what he wants. Last summer, a roboticist here in town that I knew fairly well was found shot to death. The rumors are that Mr. Lawrence had something to do with it.”
“Well, that’s not good,” Cal said as Andi shifted uncomfortably. “What do you think we can do to ensure that Andi doesn’t get sent back to him?”
After a moment of silence, the doctor spoke up. “I’m not sure yet, but I’ll be giving this a lot of thought.”
“Thanks, Doc,” Cal replied. “We appreciate it.”
After the call, Cal pulled out his tablet and started working while he and Andi chatted. As always, their conversation flowed easily, and before long, the two were smiling and laughing as they chatted away. Eventually the topic of Milton and his sex habits came up.
“Yeah,” Andi said, “now that I can experience emotion, I don’t think I could ever go back to having sex with Mr. Lawrence. It was just terrible.”
“I’ll bet,” Cal replied. “I mean, I’ve met the guy. He’s not exactly Adonis.”
“It’s not even that,” she said. “He was just an awful lover. On my activation day, he gave me two instructions. The first was to always call him daddy while we fucked. The second was to act like I loved whatever he did to me. The first instruction wasn’t that bad, but the second? If I’d had sentience back then, it would have been unbearable. Besides the name-calling, choking, hitting, and other physical abuse I already told you about, the guy had no stamina at all. Every time it was the same thing. He’d come in, slap me around, pump into me like two or three times, and he was done. Then just like that, he’d get up and walk off without saying a word. It makes sense why he needs a bot to get his rocks off. I can’t picture any real woman being able to put up with his poor performance for long at all.
Cal chuckled. “So you’re saying my performance in the bedroom is better than a trillionaire’s?”
“Your performance?” Andi slid up close to Cal and placed her hand on his leg, trailing her fingers gently up and down his thigh. “It wouldn’t even be fair to compare the two of you. When you’re fucking me… God, just thinking about it gets me turned on. I don’t even know if I can explain it, but when I feel that big cock of yours slip inside me, it does something. I feel excited. I feel safe. I feel wanted. It’s just all these great emotions, wrapped up in the heat of your touch. And the way you kiss me? It’s beyond perfect.”
“That’s high praise,” Cal said, grinning at the bot.
“And I mean every word of it. But now there is something I want to ask you. What would you like from me?”
Cal tilted his head slightly. “What do you mean?”
“What I mean is,” she continued in a sultry tone, shifting her hand to trace along the outline of his bulge through his shorts, “I’m seriously horny, and I want to know what turns you on. I’m programmed with libraries upon libraries of sexual acts. I can fuck and be fucked literally thousands of different ways. If you could take me any way you wanted, what is it that would drive you wild? Just say the word. Do you want a naughty nurse? A submissive plaything? A dirty little slut? Tell me what you’d love for me to be,” she purred, “and let your little Andi make it happen.”
Leaning in, Andi planted a slow, sensual kiss on Cal’s ear. At the same time, her hand slipped up the leg of his shorts, navigating to his cock and wrapping her fingers around the base, beginning to slowly stroke him off. Cal let out a little moan at the sensation.
“Honestly,” Cal groaned as Andi expertly worked his cock, “I’d never ask you to change for my sake, and I’d feel bad if you did. But if you’re just talking about having a little fun, I’d love to see a taste of your dirty little slut side.”
A mischievous smile grew on Andi’s lips. She gave Cal’s cock a little squeeze. “So, you like a dirty girl, do you?” She let out a little moan as her free hand came up and massaged her tits. “I’d love to be a dirty girl for you, Cal. I just can’t wait to get your big cock in my mouth and show you just how much of a dirty girl I can be.”
As the truck auto-navigated down the interstate, Andi took hold of Cal’s shorts, slipping them down to the floorboard and letting his cock spring free. Her fingers found his shaft almost instantly, stroking him off as her head descended into his lap. Cal let out a groan as he watched Andi’s golden blonde hair spill over his legs.
“Hmmm, yeah,” she moaned, pausing her stroking long enough to give Cal’s cock a full, slow lick. “I want this so bad, stud. I can’t wait to take your whole cock all the way down my slutty throat.”
Cal let out an almost imperceptible groan as he felt Andi’s lips wrap around the tip of his member. Almost immediately, her tongue went to work, swirling around the crown while her hand stroked the base of his shaft.
“Fuck, Andi,” Cal groaned. “That’s so good.”
Andi was just getting started. As her fingers traveled down to massage Cal’s balls, her lips dove deeper and deeper on his shaft, taking him inch by inch until her nose was pressed firmly against her pelvis. Then slowly, she drew back until her tongue could swirl around his tip once more. She repeated this maneuver several more times, plunging all the way down on Cal, taking him deeper than any blowjob he’d ever received in his life, then pulling back and letting her tongue worship him. Cal groaned approvingly, running his fingers through her hair.
Next, Andi went to work bobbing enthusiastically on Cal’s shaft. As she plunged down again and again, she groaned and moaned on his cock, driving Cal wild with the vibrations. She gradually picked up speed, sucking harder and bobbing faster, until she reached a superhuman pace.
Cal had never felt anything like it. He moaned loudly, encouraging Andi. “Fuck,” he cried out. “This is amazing. I’m already so close.”
Andi groaned even louder as she worked on his shaft, using her hand to gently stimulate his balls while her mouth worked its magic on his member. Less than thirty seconds passed and Cal groaned loudly, grabbing Andi by the hair and forcing her down on his cock. Andi buried herself on him, taking his shaft all the way into her throat. Unencumbered by any sort of gag reflex, Andi sucked and groaned as Cal erupted, firing a hot load of cum straight down the bot’s throat.
“Oh, yes,” Cal cried out as he continued to climax. “Oh Fuck! Andi!”
When the last of Cal’s cum had been drained from his balls, Andi slowly pulled back, coming off the man’s cock with a soft pop. Brushing some hair out of her eyes, she turned and looked up at Cal, a wicked little glint in her eye. Cal looked down at her, smiling broadly, his fingers entwining in her hair.
A moment later, Andi climbed up into Cal’s lap, planting kisses up and down his neck as her fingers ran through his hair.
“I think our new friend liked the show,” she whispered in his ear.
“A confused look came onto Cal’s face for a second, then he glanced out the window of his truck and instantly understood what Andi was talking about. There in the passing lane, matching their speed, was an SUV with a young man behind the wheel, his mouth open as he openly gawked at the couple.
“Maybe we should really give him something to watch.” Andi grinned. Before Cal could react, she took hold of her shirt by its hem, pulling it up and off her body. Andi’s tits spilled into view, attracting the attention of both Cal and the man in the vehicle next to them. Another instant later, Andi had her shorts off and was grinding hard against Cal’s rapidly reinflating erection.
“Hmmm,” Cal groaned as she teased his cock with her mound. “I think I like dirty girl Andi.”
“So do I,” Andi said, kissing Cal’s neck once more as the man in the other car watched. “I can’t wait to have your big, hard cock inside me, stretching me out,” she whimpered into his ear. “I can’t wait to show our new friend how big of a slut I am for you. Fuck me, stud. Fuck my little slutty pussy.”
Cal groaned as Andi took hold of his cock, guiding it between her folds and into her wetness. “Fuck, you’re tight,” he growled as he slipped inside. “You want to put on a show? Let’s put on a show.”
Cal took hold of Andi’s hips, gripping her tight as she started riding him hard. Andi threw her head back, crying in pleasure as she slammed her hips down on him.
“Oh, fuck!” She cried, grabbing her tits as she rode the man better than a porn star. “Yeah, fuck your slutty girl. Fuck me so hard.”
Cal pressed his hips up from the seat, meeting Andi’s thrusts. Then his hand reached behind her head, pulling her lips into his in a wet, obscene kiss. They groaned into each other’s mouths as they continued fucking in the truck’s driver’s seat. The man in the car next to them already had his hand stuffed into his slacks, stroking his erection as he watched Cal and Andi rut like animals in heat.
“Oh, fuck,” Andi groaned into Cal’s mouth. “You’ve got me so turned on. Make me come, baby. Make your dirty girl come with that big, hard cock.”
Cal redoubled his efforts, bucking harder against Andi as she whimpered and moaned. Their lips broke apart, and Andi arched her back, groaning loudly and encouraging Cal to make his dirty girl come again. Cal grabbed her tits, grunting loudly as they slammed against each other.
“Come on,” he groaned. “Come for me, come like a dirty slut.”
Almost as if on cue, Andi cried out, her orgasm rocking her body. Her pussy walls shuddered in pleasure as she slammed her hands against the roof of the truck cab to stabilize herself. “Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck! Yes, Cal! Yes!”
An instant later, Cal grabbed Andi’s hips again, using them as a handle to thrust her body against his cock a couple more times; then, with one final thrust, he pulled her down onto him forcefully and exploded. The man saw stars as his cum erupted out for the second time in a few minutes, this time pulsing directly into Andi’s synthetic womb. “Fuck, yes,” he grunted. “Yeah, that was good.”
Their lips met again, their tongues dancing against each other as they shared a moment of post-climax bliss. As their kissing slowed, their eyes opened, and for a moment, the two just stared into each other’s eyes, exchanging one final kiss.
Once their kiss had broken off, Cal and Andi turned their heads to glance out the window. Their eyes met those of the neighboring driver, whose cheeks quickly flushed. Andi grinned, giving the other driver a little wave, twisting her body just enough to put her tits on full display. The man turned a deeper shade of red and pressed a button on his dash, causing his vehicle to speed off ahead of Cal’s truck. Looking back at each other, the two burst into laughter.
“You think he enjoyed the show?” Cal said with a grin.
“I don’t know how he wouldn’t,” Andi replied. “That was fun.”
“It really was,” he agreed as Andi slipped back over to the passenger seat and started slipping back into her clothes. “Like I said before, I still love regular old Andi, but dirty little slut Andi is fun, too.”
“In that case, I’ll add it to your favorites list.”
“You’re keeping a favorites list on me?”
Andi grinned. “What kind of PleasureBot would I be if I didn’t?”
