Neon bled through the rain-streaked window of the capsule hotel, painting her chrome-plated collarbones in shifting hues of magenta and cyan. She moved like liquid mercury beneath the flickering streetlight filtering through the blinds—augmented irises adjusting with a soft mechanical whir as she sized you up, a knowing smile playing at lips that shimmered with synthetic gloss.

You could hear the soft whir of her servos as she straddled your lap, the heat of her radiating through the thin fabric separating you, her neural jack ports catching the light like jewelry along her spine as she arched back—offering, demanding, the transaction already forgotten in the wet slide of skin against skin and the promise of oblivion wrapped in chrome and flesh.
