Hot Dates

Warning – adult content.

He was the perfect example of everything she’d been looking for. With the body of Adonis and the smile of Casanova, Mary Daniels knew she was in for a good time.

He had sat her down on the bed and allowed her to undo the buttons on the white dress shirt he wore. Something down below had stirred within her as she undid the fifth button and got a glimpse at what lay beneath the white shirt. Not yet, she had told herself, let the excitement build and take in every single second of the anticipation of what was to come.

When she had looked up into his dark eyes, as she undid the last visible button of his shirt, she had imaged that he was communicating with her telepathically. ‘Go on’, said his voice in her head, ‘pull up the remainder of my shirt so you can undo the final few buttons.’

As Mary Daniels pulled up his shirt and undid the last few buttons, the passion inside her had almost exploded. After watching him slowly removing the expensive, gold cufflinks that had held the shirt cuffs in place, she had stood up and gently pushed the shirt off his shoulders. Before her had stood absolute perfection.

Having pushed her back onto the bed, Mary had watched as the hunk undid the belt of his trousers. She had slowly licked her lips as his trousers dropped to the floor revealing a weapon of mass destruction behind a pair of black, Lonsdale boxer shorts. He really must have found her as attractive as she did him if he was going to use it on her.

Several minutes later as he picked up the $500 left on the bedside table of the hotel room, Mary Daniels was dead.

As he dressed, no emotions passed through his mechanical brain. His job was to now get the money back to his creator, change his appearance by shift-shaping, and await the next call to the ‘Hot Dates’ Escort Agency.

Who would he be next, and who would be his next victim?

    Hugh, that was a hunk of a twist you presented over there! Such an explosive imagination! Loved the storytelling – – – the build-up was over the roof!

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      Thank you so much for the excellent feedback on my piece of flash fiction. I’m glad you enjoyed it so much. Sometimes, my mind can run riot with me.

      1. YBP avatar

        That’s a pretty awesome mind you’ve got there! Keep the juices flowing! :)

    Oooo Hugh this is SO good! Great twist!

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      Glad you enjoyed it, Sam.

    Nice twist, Hugh. A homicidal shape shifting hunk of a bot.

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      Yes, perhaps a vision of the future, Rob?

      1. Robert Matthew Goldstein avatar

        I hope not — but it sure feels that way.

  5. Teri Polen avatar

    Nice twist, Hugh!

  6. thelonelyauthorblog avatar

    Blind sided me with this unexpected ending. Bravo.

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      Thank you. I’m glad to hear you never saw the ending coming I had planned for this piece of flash fiction.

      1. thelonelyauthorblog avatar

        You did it perfectly. A pleasure to read.

  7. robbiesinspiration avatar

    Wow, Hugh, this is clever. A robotic serial killer.

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      Yes, and one that is a shift-shaper, too, Robbie.
      Thanks so much.

    Me as I read:

    “Oooh, technosexual characters. I can get behind this.”
    .
    .
    .

    “Whoa, there was a lot more murder in that than I expected.”

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      Thank you. I would not be surprised if, in the future, technosexual partners become available. Let’s hope they don’t have any other intentions than ensuring it’s all about fun, though.

      1. H.R.R. Gorman avatar

        Haha, true. Gotta keep it safe!

    This is a creative and kind of creepy story Hugh.:) Kudos for your unique twist on Diana’s prompt!

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      Thank you very much. I couldn’t resist going with the theme that first popped into my head when I saw the prompt that Diana had published. Plus, I enjoy writing stories that take the reader up the wrong path.

    Hugh, always the master of twists. This one is a doozy! My mind was not thinking shape-shifters or murder. Yikes! 📚 Christine

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      I’m glad to hear your mind was taken entirely off the trail of the twist, Christine. Thanks so much for reading.

  11. Ethan Dale Eagar avatar

    Hahaha! Wow! Nice twist!

  12. Norah avatar

    One really must be careful meeting up with people from dating agencies and websites.

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      I agree, Norah, not that use any of those sites of course. 😀

      1. Norah avatar

        I wouldn’t have thought so, Hugh. :)

  13. Debbie Bugezia avatar

    Great twist and I love that he was a shape-shifter! Now I’ll have to watch some StarTrek this weekend. Well after The Avengers tomorrow. 😊

    1. Hugh's Views and News avatar

      Happy Sci-fi weekend, Debbie. 👽
