elfsCarnal Machines: Steampunk Erotica is a collection of erotic short stories with steampunk settings.
"The Servant Question" by Janine Ashbless is the second story in this volume, and it's much better than the first. The tale of a clockmaker who has mastered the mysteries of his mystical steampunk universe sufficiently to make mechanical maids. He has the very fine Mrs. Pemberton for a client, and she is extremely demanding about the precise movements necessary to beat rugs and polish champagne flutes. The erotica comes at a rush but is nonetheless effective, and this story has a punch and a payoff that is both charming and funny.
