      “Danny Markridge, the world’s greatest lover.” The small brass plaque by the front door proudly declared. And to Danny, it was the absolute truth. A wide boy with a penchant for the latest in technology, and women, he was a serious collector of both.
      It really made his day when a technology seller, in the form of an attractive woman, brought a new ‘toy’ to his attention. Her clothing, though formal and almost austere, hid nothing of her figure.
      “It is absolutely the latest in V.R…” The saleswoman persisted despite his being thoroughly absorbed in the task of assessing her as his next conquest. “Perhaps if you tried the unit using the demonstration model, you might find it at least as interesting as my breasts?” She pulled her jacket closed and buttoned it in place, barely hiding the ample charms that fought for freedom behind an almost transparent blouse.
      Danny grinned, not the least bit embarrassed by the fact that his attention had strayed away from the poor bitch’s sales pitch. “If it’s as good as you say it is, then you never know, I might bump into you in there.” He leered at her then stepped back and opened the door just wide enough for the woman to squeeze past him and into the apartment. As her jacketed tits brushed against him, Danny’s grin widened.
      She strode into the centre of the room, looked around at the sparse, though very modern, furnishings, admiring the high level of technology that was strewn about the place. “If you would like to make yourself comfortable Mr…?’ She prompted him for his name.
      “Danny’s the name and women’s the game!” He quipped as he strolled over to a multi-recliner.
      “Yes, well… Danny, if you’d like to get comfortable I will run the demonstration for you.”
      Even before she had finished Danny was settled into the m-r seat. “Ready whenever you are, my darlin’!”
      The woman sighed deeply, the action emphasising the twin protuberances beneath blouse and jacket.
      “What’s your name, love?”
      “Robinson… Miss Robinson.” Her response was abruptly formal.
      “Well, miss Robinson, I think that it’s only fair that I know your first name, don’t you?’ In Danny’s mind, he was already running through the agenda. It wouldn’t be long before this ‘miss’ became a ‘hit’.
      “Rebecca, if you really must know…” The deep sigh repeated. “…Shall we begin?” She offered Danny a barely veiled glare.
      “I’d love to.” His grin faded into a lewd smile as he murmured his reply. “…Becky.” He added as an afterthought.
      Rebecca opened the folio that she carried and produced what looked like nothing more than a narrow band of dark coloured plastic. She held it up for inspection. “The visor is slim, comfortable and fully attuned to the thoughts of the user.”
      “That’s new. I haven’t seen anything like that on the market.” Danny expectantly reached for the visor, but Rebecca withdrew it from his reach.
      “When you’ve bought one you can handle it as much as you like, but not before…” A look of warning crossed her face, but swiftly faded into a gentle, reassuring smile. “Ready?”
      Danny folded his arms. “Okay, I’m ready.” He was clearly disappointed.
      Rebecca walked around behind him, eased him back into the seat and gently lowered the visor to rest over his eyes.
      Instant darkness, followed by a slight spasm of pain, like a small electrical shock, that passed along the length of the visor.
      A moment later he could see his room. He was still in the m-r seat and Rebecca’s folio still lay on the floor. “It doesn’t seem to be working…’ He teased as he reached up for the visor.
      It wasn’t there.
      He tilted his head back as he searched for Becky.
      She stood over him, an anxious look on her face. “Sorry. I should have warned you about the little jolt.” The visor, now in her hands, was carried back to her folio. Once it was safely stowed she stood up and turned to Danny. “If I can make it up to you…?”
      “Nah…” It was an automatic response, which Danny cut short. “…well perhaps I can take you out for lunch?”
      Becky pursed her lips then nodded reluctantly. “Okay, but it’s not a date, or anything.” She fixed her gaze on his eyes. “Just so we’re clear, all right?” Twinkling lights danced in her blue irises and it appeared that something more than the cold shoulder was being offered.
      “Sure!” Danny readily agreed. “What’s gourmet for you?”
      “Uh… it’s a bit of a cliché, but I actually do like Italian food.” She grinned weakly and shrugged her shoulders.
      Danny’s gaze flicked to her chest, observing natural movement. Nothing ‘kit-form’ about this one. A warm smile came to his lips. “It just so happens that, next to Chinese, Italian is my favourite too.” He rose easily to his feet and gathered up a jacket. “Come on then. Let’s eat.” He guided her to the door.
      Following behind her, he was pleased to note that she had not gathered up her folio, which would mean she’d have to come back to his place to get it.



      Two and a half hours later they returned to Danny’s apartment.
      “I’m really sorry. The folio totally slipped my mind.” Rebecca slurred the words slightly, having consumed the better part of two bottles of Chianti.
      Danny offered a teasing, sidelong glance. “Before I let you loose on the world again, I’d better get you a strong cup of coffee.”
      “I suppose you’d like me to apologise for that as well.” She giggled, spoiling the stern expression that had risen to her face. Her shoulder rested against the wall, allowing her to stand upright without wobbling.
      Danny ignored her as he made the coffee. When it was ready he carried it over and offered her the cup, handle first.
      “Oh…” She took the cup and immediately placed it to one side. “…screw the coffee.” Her arms embraced him, drawing him close. The warm cushions of her breasts pressing against his chest as her lips brushed lightly against his.
      He responded with equal tenderness, his hands easily holding her slender waist.
      The light kisses became more intense as their passions became aroused.
      Her hands moved to his chest and began to smooth across his muscular frame.
      His right hand dropped to her left buttock, gently squeezing at the firm flesh. The left hand found its way to her right breast. A moment, or two, of gentle massage produced the desired result, a light friction in the palm of his hand as her nipple rose to erection.
      Breathing became an audible process as the kissing continued, forcing them both to inhale, and exhale, through their nostrils.
      Garments loosened, disengaged and were discarded.
      Danny and Becky slid gracefully to the floor.
      Bodies merged, writhing and intertwining. The sheen of sweat facilitating the smoothest of actions as their bodies glided easily against each other.
      Movements became more and more urgent.
      Rebecca convulsed, juddering as a climax ravaged her senses.
      Danny didn’t even break his stride as he also came.
      Moments later a second, slightly less turbulent orgasm rocked Becky’s body.
      The strain was beginning to tell as a grimace emerged on Danny’s face.
      As Rebecca reached a third climax, Danny relented and satisfied his body’s demand for a final release. His energy spent, he allowed his body to settle gently to one side.
      A gentle kiss touched his forehead before Rebecca lay back to rest.
      Their breathing slowed as they rested.
      Danny’s eyes closed as he drifted into the euphoric oblivion of post coital sleep.




      When he awakened Rebecca had gone, leaving a scribbled note. “Call me.” Beneath that simple message was a telephone number. Danny smiled. Another woman had surrendered to his charms.
      The smile faded as he read the note again. He wanted to call her and that unsettled him. He offered the scrap of paper to the waste disposal unit, changed his mind and pinned it to the notice board.
      He took a shower. Then, having dressed for a night out, he headed for the door. He glanced at Rebecca’s note. “A pity about the visor though.” He murmured as he closed the door behind him.



      Across the room from the m-r seat in which Danny sat unmoving, visor over his eyes, Rebecca Robinson lifted her watch to her mouth. “Three hours elapsed. Subject Daniel Markridge is stable and ready for transport.”
      “Are you sure he’s the one? I have no record of a Daniel Markridge after that…” She got a barely audible reply from the watch.
      Rebecca interrupted the speaker. “Then I’ve got the one I’ve been looking for.” A tension-releasing sigh hissed between her lips. “Initiate.”
      A moment later they were gone, vanishing into the ether.



      From the sterile environment of the observation lounge a woman stared at the still forms that lay in a row in the adjoining room. Her eyes wandered from end to end, pausing momentarily as they rested on Danny’s body. Tubes, catheters and wires connected the body to the machine under the bench on which he lay. His physique reduced to a pale, flaccid shadow of its original condition. Had Danny known anything about it, he would have been mortified.
      A small cable connected the woman’s right temple to a console in front of her enabling the monitoring of his activities within his V.R. prison. Her eyes lost their focus as she witnessed yet another moment of tender affection between Danny and Rebecca.
      Then it was just Danny going to his favourite nightclub.
      “Watching again Becca?” A man’s voice broke into her daydreaming.
      “Hnh.” She grunted in response, angered by the interruption. “He’s a-typical. The victim count is currently five and… wait… ssshhhh!” Becca became motionless as she closed her eyes.
      The man moved to stand behind her, took up another cable, pressed the tab to his right temple and ceased moving. A moment later he winced as Becca screamed in synch with Danny’s latest victim.
      They both snatched off the cables and discarded them.
      Becca’s chest heaved, her breathing deep and rapid. “Make… that… six.” She looked at the man, her face pale and drawn. “I didn’t see it coming.”
      The man’s expression settled from shocked to thoughtful. “How did you find him?”
      Becca shook her head. “Blind luck really. I had a vague trail to trace back, but with only three victims on record it was hard to connect.” She sighed. “Before the incursion the only thing that I could say for certain that they had in common was that they all went to the same night club, and the same bar.”
      “Danny Markridge.” The man mused. “A name that would have been synonymous with rape had he ever been caught.” He patted Becca on the shoulder. “Good work, even if you think it was luck I still credit you with the capture.” A gentle smile backed up his words.
      “Thanks Daryl.” She placed her hand over his. “Did you know not one of the victims dated, or even spoke to Danny?”
      “Yes, which is all the more reason for giving you credit for taking him out of society before the first one.” Daryl’s eyes had a faint glow of pride in them.
      “Was it before the first?” Becca”s brow beetled.
      Daryl tapped his temple and gave a small nod. “I spoke to him in person.” He shivered. “A nice, sociable young man with everything he could ever want. Except to be dominant over his women.” He turned his gaze to Becca’s eyes. “When I say dominant I mean it in the most brutal fashion. His imagination is even more vivid than what we just witnessed.”
      It was Becca’s turn to shiver. Daryl is the toughest prison psychologist that I know and if Danny scares him… Thank the stars he will never walk the streets again.



      Danny smiled, oblivious to events outside of his head. He was as happy as a ‘sand boy’. Women, and gadgets, seemed to be queuing up for his delectation. Not only that, but Becky was a constant in his life of change. She seemed to understand and everything fitted nicely together.
      Plus, of course, she was coming round tonight.
