A short story featuring cyborgs... Everyone knows cyborgs aren't allowed in brothels. This is doubly true for the Gilded Tree, where Raif works. But when he services a strange man who refuses to undress, he gets curious. And when he discovers that Lukas, a lonely cyborg who is about to go on his first mission offplanet, is a virgin, Raif decides to take matters into his own hands. After all, outside the Gilded Tree, there are no rules.
