Rowan soaked in the human section's only communal bath and focused on the next words to type in his comlink. The onsen was tiled with light blue ceramic and had a mosaic of mount fuji displayed against the wall. He thought it would have been nice if the ceiling had a view of the stars, but he was glad he was able to maintain and use something like this after so many decades of human abandonment of the station.
He spoke into the comlink to send texts. "I'm really sorry, but I had to tell you."
… you didn't need to send a video, I would have believed you teddybear…
"I thought you might need evidence."
There was a long pause then another message came.
…I need to see you TB, can you come to the observatory? The day after tomorrow? Before you come into work?...
Rowan frowned a little while he thought and said, "That's doable. I'll just head out a little early."
…Thank you sweetness, you're the best. Be sure to bundle up, the observation dome has minimal insulation…
"Sure thing Indigo, see you then," he said before closing the comlink. "What the fuck am I doing?"
Rowan heard the door to the bath open and slide shut. He looked around but the lights went out. All he could hear were the whirring of the ventilation systems and the sound of bare feet stepping onto wet tiles.
"Carmen? Is that you?" He heard someone enter the bath and slowly walk through the waisthigh water towards him. The darkness and the the lack of response made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.
Whoever was there got very close.
"Carmen, please, if you want to talk that's fine, but I'm a little.."
"Shhhhhhhh." Was all that she said.
Rowan felt two slender hands spread his knees apart while he sat on the bath's underwater ledge. Those same hands then went to his cock and started to stroke it.
Carmen you minx…
The man's cock quickly rose to attention underneath the surface of the water. Rowan tilted his head back and rested it on the edge of the bath. The hand disappeared and then the water stirred. He felt her get up on the bench and swing her leg over while facing him. He felt the soft skin of her inner thighs resting on his lap.
She rose up and guided his manhood against her vulva. When she did, Rowan noticed something was slightly different, but he couldn't explain exactly what the change was.
She descended and Rowan felt an incredible tightness envelop his cock. He heard her gasp as he entered her but then there was a pressure against his head that would not let him penetrate deeper. He was about to move his hands to her when she pushed down hard and he felt something tear inside her. She then continued to descend on him, impaled by his cock.
"Oh god!" said a voice that wasn't Carmen's.
Rowan recognized the different voice and tried to push her off but she pinned him down against the edge of the bath.
"Paige! What the fuck are you doing?"
"Rowan, I thought it was obvious. I'm giving my virginity to the man I love with all my heart."
"But!" In the dark he felt her lips meet his and try to enter his mouth. After a moment of resistance, he opened and let her in. Paige didn't move off his cock, but simply clamped down hard with her tight pussy.
She sat up straight and said, "Aren't you going to touch my body? It's all for you Rowan."
He reached into the darkness and found her breasts. Plump, soft, and wonderful. Rowan imagined how they looked from what he felt. Thumbs grazed nipples and Paige let out a whimper. He obliged and started to cup and massage her mammaries.
Rowan gulped before he said, "Where is all this coming from Paige? We're friends and then you throw yourself at me?"
"Your hands feel so good!" She covered his hands with her own and forced him to squeeze harder. "I started getting feelings for you about five days after we started talking on the network two years ago. You were so cute and so funny Rowan. I thought things would go on like that forever, and I'd have you all to myself. When that android of yours broke and you said you were having trouble, I knew I had to get closer to you. I think I can start moving now. Do you like it? My pussy?"
"It's tight Paige, you feel really good." Am I in trouble if Carmen finds me like this? Isn't it the same as her doing it at work?
"I'm so glad Rowan! Only Rowan's cock gets to have this pussy." She pulled up and he felt every fold and ripple of her insides against his shaft. Her canal was so tight it would have hurt both of them if she wasn't so wet for him. He moved his hands from her tits to her rump and assisted her in her cowgirl position by raising and lowering her onto his cock.
Paige continued, "Don't tell me we're just friends Rowan. I analyzed your speech patterns when we spoke. You always have a tinge of anxiety when you speak with me. I know you snapped pictures of my avatar and saved them on your comlink. Admit it boy, I was all you thought about."
"I…"
"Face it Rowan, I'm the only real girlfriend you have, and now we're lovers. I know you're very progressive to have feelings for Carmen, but we both know I'm more human than she is. My feelings won't change because some corporate programmer decides that we should stop. I love you Rowan, and you love me, I know it. That's all there is to it. Talk to me."
Rowan's mind tried to separate itself from the sex he was having, to say, "Paige, you have the body of a goddess. And I admit I have strong feelings for you. But Paige, you're a good looking girl with bright prospects. Control staff go on to do great things back in the republic's fleet. I'm just a guy working on sex robots, trying to make enough money to live a life of simple leisure. We're on different paths. I'm sure the moment your tour is over and you spend a couple of weeks back on earth, it'll make a lot more sense to you. You'll find someone who really deserves you. How much more time do you have on your tour of duty?"
Paige pressed herself onto him while she bowed her head to his ear. "I just got permission to stay out here for another tour, on the condition I spend it here in the general section of the station. And I'll keep doing it until you have the money you need. I'll even pitch in. Don't you dare try to say I'm too good for you. I know you better than you know yourself. I love you Rowan."
He had to slow her or he would bust too soon. "You didn't tell me why you made your avatar plainer than the real you."
"I did it because I knew you would treat me differently if you saw the real me. I needed you to be at ease. Mmmmph. I needed you to keep me sane out here in the darkness of space. Rowan, I was so lonely until you came into my life. You are the kindness that keeps me going. Fuck." When she wasn't speaking she was letting out little moans.
"Paige. Come on, can you really deal with Carmen being in the picture?"
"I don't care if there's a million girls, Rowan. I'm going to beat them all. Shit, shit shit!" She started to bounce fast on his love staff. "I'm going to make your wishes come true and then you'll see I'm the one for you." Rowan was amazed that Paige managed to clench even harder around his cock. "What's this feeling Rowan?"
"Umm. I think you may be cumming. At least I hope so."
Paige went rigid and Rowan had to thrust upwards to get closer to orgasm.
"Rowan! Ugggghhhhh!" Paige started to shudder after she was done seizing up. Her moans echoed off the walls of the empty onsen.
"Paige!" Rowan released while buried deep inside Paige's virgin pussy. Being so tight, the white spunk had no place to go but back out into the water. Their muscles strained against each other in that moment of bliss.
The pair held onto each other in the prickly hot water. Then the lights turned back on. Rowan looked up and saw Paige's face, blushing with tears coming down her face. Her breasts were shaped like teardrops, each identical with their elegant curves. Her abdomen was toned but she didn't have a six pack. Her thighs had that little bit of fat that Carmen did.
Paige looked worried and turned away, "Rowan, do you love me?"
He knew not to hesitate when answering this question. "Of course Paige. I love you so much. You kept me sane too in this crazy place too. But…"
"But what?"
"If you want to be with me, you have to accept all my faults and what I do for a living. There are other girls in my life, girls I have feelings for. Can you accept that?"
"Can you accept me if I had Stefan as a boyfriend?" She raised her eyebrow and frowned. Rowan assumed these words were meant to sting. They did.
Rowan grimaced and said, "But he's so much better for you than me, can't you see that? He's got money, he's good looking, he's got charm. If you had him as a boyfriend. Or anyone else as a boyfriend. How could I compete with that? I'd just want you to be happy. Why beat myself up by dating you and then having to watch you be with someone else? I'm already at my emotional limit with Carmen and Indigo."
"Indigo? Who's she?"
"Shit…she's a lycan I'm having a fling with. If I keep pursuing it, then it will be an affair."
"Hmmmph, I never figured you were a home wrecker Rowan."
"There's hardly a home there. I don't think there's a day that goes by where he hasn't cheated on her."
"Ah, and you're a hypocrite to boot."
"Hey, you came on to me Paige. And you did it in the dark so I couldn't see you!"
"Don't change the subject. Why are you even thinking about going to see her when you have me?"
"Because I like her!"
"Fine, have your fun. I'll be there to pick up the pieces. But you know you like me more, Rowan. Do you know how I know?"
"How?"
"You've stayed rock hard during this entire conversation." She started to move her hips again. The harsh fluorescent lighting flickered into darkness again.
