He didn't mean it, Dorian told himself for the third time that morning. They were on their way to work, and John's words kept replaying in his head: "You should stay over every night."
It had been a joke; an off-handed compliment on Dorian's cooking. It certainly hadn't been in reference to what had happened between them last night, and yet... The DRN just couldn't stop thinking about what it could be like if he were there all the time - cooking for John, spending their evenings on the couch watching soccer, holding him while he slept, having sex...
He needed to stop thinking like this. There was something wrong with his programing, something that was causing him to obsess over having a physical relationship with the detective. When Rudy fixed it, these urges would stop. He'd never even considered engaging in a sexual relationship before, and when the program had been completely purged from his system, he likely would no longer feel the desire for physical intimacy.
There was that feeling again. The one he couldn't identify. Before it had been a pleasurable ache, but now, at the thought of never being with John again, the ache was deep and painful. He wasn't sure that he wanted Rudy to fix him, and he had no idea why.
He couldn't keep asking John to engage in such an intimate act with him. It was a complete violation of their partnership and the tentative friendship they'd begun to build. If this kept happening, it would ruin everything. He should want to be fixed.
"You're awfully quiet," John commented from the driver's seat. "Something on your mind?"
"Just reviewing the case file," Dorian said, quickly pulling up the file and beginning to do just that. He needed to get his mind on something else.
When they got to the station, they found Maldonado squaring off with an angry looking Detective Paul. Valerie was hovering nearby, seemingly trying to diffuse the situation.
"Let it go, Richard," Valerie said. "It's not your case."
"Yeah, but it was my MX who picked him up. I looked at the case file. He's just some electronics geek who used his gadgets to mess with Kennex's bot. Why can't I be the one to question him?"
"Detective Stahl's right. Let it go," Captain Maldonado agreed, spotting John and Dorian as they entered the bullpen. "John, Jason Greenfield is in Interrogation three waiting for you."
"What's the matter, Paul? Don't have enough cases to work yourself?" John mocked, before turning to Dorian. "Come on. Let's go get some answers from that brat."
Jason was just as thin and gangly as John remembered him. He looked small and scared with his hands cuffed to the interrogation room table. When he saw John and Dorian enter, he paled slightly and slumped even lower in his chair.
"I'm sorry!" the kid blurted out before John had even taken a seat across from him.
"Oh, yeah? For which part - making illegal devices, fleeing from officers of the law, or using robotics to sexually assault my partner?" John asked, growing angrier with each accusation.
"A-All of it," the kid stuttered. "Especially the last one. It was the only thing I could think of. I couldn't afford to get caught!"
"Really? Well, you've been caught now. So you're going to tell us just how many of those sexual programming gadgets you've made."
"Just the one," the kid insisted. "It was just a prototype. I was supposed to show it to my buyer last night. He said that it would be the next big thing in the sexbot industry, and that I could make enough money to go to college. My family's not doing so well financially. They won't be able to pay for any schooling beyond high school."
"And you think that gives you the right to take away someone's free will?" Dorian asked. His voice was low, but there was a hard edge to it.
"I'm so sorry!" Jason insisted, unable to meet the DRN's gaze. "It was never supposed to be used on someone like you - just things like maidbots or gardeningbots."
"That doesn't make it right!" Dorian said, sounding truly angry.
John put a hand on his partner's arm, stopping the angry tirade that was likely coming. "Just tell us who your buyer was, and how to get the program out of my partner's system."
Jason's brow furrowed in confusion. "The program? It shouldn't still be interacting with his system. It's supposed to be a one-time thing."
"You said yourself that it was never supposed to be used on a DRN," John pressed. "Could it have affected him differently?"
"I suppose," the kid said, though he sounded doubtful. "DRN's have a complex system of emotional programming that's way beyond my level of experience. You'll have to talk to whoever maintains his systems."
"I was afraid of that," John muttered. "Okay. Just tell us who your buyer is."
"Some guy named Bronner," Jason said. "Matthew Bronner."
"So our cases are connected," Dorian said as they exited the interrogation room.
"Seems that way," John replied. "We should talk to the boyfriend again. See if he knows anything about his partner's shady business deals. Do you want to do that now, or should we go talk to Rudy first about your, uh, 'problem?'"
"I can talk to him tonight," the android said. "There's no need to stop our investigation."
He was not looking forward to the conversation he'd inevitably have to have with Rudy. Emotional issues aside, it was bound to be embarrassing.
John patted his partner on the shoulder, and headed for the car. Dorian followed, feeling an unexplained thrill run through him at the unexpected contact.
He tried to examine the reason for this as John pulled the car out of the station parking lot. A simple pat on the shoulder would never have elicited this response before, but now any time John touched him...
Perhaps it was those hands of his? They truly were magnificent, all rough and callused. Unbidden, the images from last night resurfaced, along with the sensation of John's hands on his bare skin, touching and stroking.
Dorian clenched his hands into fists, willing his body not to react. It wasn't working very well.
"Hey," John glanced over at his partner his the passenger seat. "You okay?"
The DRN shook his head, eyes closed as he tried to issue the command to soften his erection. He knew the exact moment when John noticed it, because the detective swore softly and turned the car around. Dorian's internal GPS told him that they were headed for John's apartment.
They didn't even make it to the bedroom this time. John was kissing him as soon as the front door closed behind them, those wonderful hands pulling him close and running down his body.
Dorian met his kiss with equal passion. His body was on fire once more and that pleasurable ache was back in his chest.
John rubbed his erection against Dorian's thigh as they kissed, groaning into the android's mouth.
"Are you getting wet for me?" he practically growled.
"Yes," Dorian assured him, sucking hard on the detective's neck. "So wet."
John moaned, spinning his partner around and bending him over the back of his couch. Dorian felt John tug his pants down and heard the sound of the other man's zipper. He barely had time to spread his legs before John was inside him again, pounding furiously. Dorian practically screamed in pleasure, and buried his face in the cushions, trying to muffle his cries.
Neither of them lasted very long. Dorian's orgasm tore through him, causing him to grip one of the cushions so hard the fabric tore. He had just enough time to wonder how mad John was going to be about his couch before he felt the hot splash of the other man's release inside him. John collapsed against him, mouthing lazily at the base of the DRN's neck.
Dorian felt a small shudder run through his body and marveled at how those small kisses could somehow feel more intimate than what they'd just done. He also wondered how he'd ever be able to give this up.
