Snippet:
Lizzy’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the light tap on the door. Here we go. Her heart almost stopped when she opened it.
Leaning against the doorframe, Javier filled the space. His eyes were hazel with amber flecks of fire. His broad shoulders gave the T-shirt a pleasurable stretch. The hand he had casually blocking his groin didn’t hide a thing. His stance left her no doubt of his confidence. And the stud in his left ear—a silver heart—was a total turn on. “Sorry for keeping you waiting, pretty lady.” He brushed by her and took command of the room.
Lizzy didn’t know what to do with herself. She wasn’t squeezing a rubber dick in front of him.
“You look like you could use a drink.” Javier relieved himself of a small backpack, Lizzy hadn’t noticed. “Let me make you one and we’ll get started.”
“Uhhh…okay…” Lizzy couldn’t breathe; she couldn’t think. She stood there watching him mix drinks.
When he finished, he held up a cold cloudy beverage, garnished with a slice of lime. “Gimlet. Gin, lime, and a little sweetener. It’s an easy sipper. To relax and inspire you.” He gave her one glass, and caught hold of her fingers, leading her to the sofa. He sat beside her, close, touching her hand.
Lizzy had a sip. Then she had another because she was nervous and couldn’t help herself. “It’s good. Thank you.”
“My pleasure.” He drank his own.
Oh damn. He had a dimple.
“So, uhh…how does this work? What should I be doing?”
“Enjoy your drink. We’ll hang out and chat until you’re comfortable. Then we can do whatever you want.”
Having a drink was definitely a good idea. It might have been the gin/champagne combo. More likely, it was him, but Lizzy believed she was already starting to buzz. “So you’re a sex shop tour guide. How long have you been doing this?”
“This is my first and only tour.”
“No.”
“It is.”
Something about his confession—if it were the truth—encouraged her. She felt less embarrassed than she would be with an old-hand. He didn’t have an arsenal of tired sell-lines to throw at her. She leaned into him without realizing it. “Why would this be your only tour?”
He drank his gin. “I’m here for you. It’s all I’m good for.”
She watched him weave his fingers through hers.
“You don’t even know me.”
“I’m learning.”
Having put all her energy into stressing over the sex shop visit itself, Lizzy was unprepared for the shock he gave her hormones. Her skirt had risen a half-mile higher than it needed to be. Damn peppermint. It put her in the mood to make-out…with a total stranger…with a pipe in his lap…
Say something, say something, say something…“Do you guys really sell souped-up sex dolls?” She hadn’t meant to blurt it out, but she wanted to know.
“I’m not familiar with the term, souped-up. But, I imagine it would be self-flattery coming from me.” The bright amber flecks in his eyes lit up his face. “And, while we don’t consider ourselves sex dolls, a large portion of what we do would suggest it. I believe the answer would be affirmative.”
It had to be the gin. “Pardon me?”
“I’m a souped-up sex doll.”
She burst out laughing. “I meant the supposed robots.”
Javier leaned over and whispered in her ear, “That is a conflicting response.”
It was a straight sentence, no hidden meanings or innuendos. But his breath in her ear made her wet her panties.

Gimlet
(review request submitted by the author for an honest critique)
My jaw is still dragging the floor after reading Welcome to BB’s.
If you can forget Lizzie is having wild sex with a very, very, VERY enhanced robot, then the sex scenes were off the charts hot.
Javier is not your typical robot. He looks real, feels real, and has thoughts and emotions. However, there is no mistaking he is not human. First and foremost, he’s price tag was no joke — $350,000 with no upgrades!
There were several instances where I laughed, though.
- He had a magical schlong. It literally shot out Gimlet (a cocktail). His tongue also released liquor from it.
- His ‘member’ can also shrink, deflate, or grow in size, depending on Lizzie’s pleasure and which hole he was about to or in the process of occupying. What a nifty trick!
- Boris was a cad. Love that guy!
I know sexbots are a real thing. I know they are becoming more realistic with each new model. I’m not sure if I would shell out or take a loan out for one, but there’s no harm in taking a tour of the shop. Now is there… *wink wink*
