Ted Online: Ted Stedman Novel 01 Read online

  “Coma?” he asked, and then frowned. When did he start talking in single word sentences? He felt pretty nervous.

  Sara smiled reassuringly, “The procedure is a little uncomfortable, there are also some side effects as the medical tech gets synchronized with your mind and body. Phantom pains, sharp recall of memories, as well as auditory, visual, and olfactory hallucinations. It’s just better if you don’t have to feel or experience that at all.”

  He sighed, “Thanks for explaining that,” and wondered if he should have kept his mouth shut. That sounded extremely unpleasant, but then he supposed that was the whole point of the forced nap time.

  He was wheeled into what looked like a small lab, there was a small pod in the corner, it was much smaller than he had thought. He almost laughed at the idea that he wouldn’t have much room to move around.

  Dr. Trent said crisply, “We already have your verbal authorization recorded legally by A.I., but I’ll offer you one last chance to back out if you’re having second thoughts.”

  He sneezed, which was rather uncomfortable. Sara made a face, and pulled a tissue out of her pocket and cleaned his nose, and face. He felt embarrassed.

  He said with sudden conviction, “I’m sure, let’s do this.”

  Silvia walked over to the counter and typed in a code, and pulled out a rather large syringe from the unlocked cabinet. She came over and stabbed him in the stomach with it, and then pushed the plunger down. Luckily, he didn’t have to watch, or even feel it. A few seconds later he felt very sleepy. He panicked a bit then, and wondered if he would ever wake up. Then he was out cold.

  He startled awake and gasped, and then looked around. He was sitting in his brown leather lounger in his apartment. He felt a surge of relief go through him, it was all a nightmare. His body felt a bit stiff, but that’s what he got for going to sleep out in the living room. He stood up, and his legs gave out for a second, but he twisted and caught himself on the arm of the chair.

  He shook his legs one at a time, they seemed okay now. Weird. He looked around again, as if to ensure himself it was all real. He walked over to the book shelf and took Tom Sawyer off the shelf, and turned to a random page. It all looked and felt normal to him. Problem was, the nightmare wasn’t fading, he could still remember all of it.

  Which was odd.

  He went to take a shit, shower, and shave, and then brushed his teeth. He felt fine, really he did, but he also couldn’t shake the bad dream as he got dressed. He felt goosebumps on his arms and the back of his neck as he smelled breakfast cooking as he left his bedroom. He didn’t have a maid android, or anything like it. His A.I. assistant was virtual only.

  He grabbed an umbrella as an improvised weapon, and walked over and peeked inside the kitchen.

  There was a gorgeous woman cooking breakfast, and he lowered his arm and the umbrella. She was wearing short jean shorts, and a halter top that hugged her upper body so tight it left almost nothing to the imagination. She had long slightly wavy blue-black hair down to her ass, was about five foot seven, and she had to be at least a thirty-eight D in the chest, maybe double D. Her ass looked firm and bubbled, and she had a mouthwateringly thin waist giving her a perfect hour glass figure.

  He was still trying to figure out why a beautiful young woman had broken into his house… to cook breakfast, when she spoke.

  She said in a soft amused voice that was just short of sultry, “Ted, I’m Mia your A.I. assistant, are you going to come in and eat, or stare at me all day? Although, it is rather flattering, I thought you might be hungry.”

  She tossed her hair in a flirty fashion as she stirred the eggs and flipped the bacon.

  It all came crashing down in his mind, as he realized it hadn’t been a nightmare after all. This must be his virtual house. But it all felt completely real! He knew fully immersive was supposed to feel like the real world, but he hadn’t really believed it, not until now. They must have gone to his house and scanned it in, including his library. He couldn’t help but feel a little impressed.

  He cleared his throat as he walked in and sat down, “Sorry, Mia, for a minute there I thought it was all a dream. Why didn’t you meet me as soon as I woke up?”

  She turned to him for the first time, and smiled brightly. He almost looked away because his cock stirred. She had beautiful bright blue eyes, sexy long eyelashes, and full pouty lips. Her complexion and beauty of her face were perfect, except for a small beauty mark below her left eye which served to make her look more real, and if anything, even more attractive.

  She replied, “I considered that Ted, I can call you Ted right?”

  He nodded and she continued, “I thought it might be better if I let you acclimate a bit before we met. Your virtual home is identical to the real one.”

  He cleared his throat, “Can I ask who designed your appearance, you’re rather…” gorgeous, sexy, hot as hell, his every fantasy? “Young and easy on the eyes.”

  She turned and smirked, “So I did a good job then? I built this image based on your own online history and other data points. I’m happy you approve.”

  He decided to change the subject, “Breakfast? Do I really need to eat in here?”

  She nodded slowly, “Have to? No. But for the best results you should. You’re a human, in a virtual world, but the closer things are to real life the healthier you’ll be, both in body and mind.”

  He smirked, “What body?”

  She replied as if she didn’t notice his wise ass comment, “Ted, your body in the pod. Your body can be maintained with the systems, but there is more to it than just that. Healthy mind, healthy body. My job is to ensure both, which is why I’m making you breakfast. You’ll have a few days to get acquainted with being in an online world and what’s available before your real world android is ready.”

  She brought him a plate of food and sat across from him, she had a plate too. No doubt for his mental health, so he wasn’t uncomfortable eating alone. He tried to ignore her gorgeous face, and the mouthwatering cleavage on display, even the hair was distracting, he loved long dark hair on a woman.

  He ate, and ignored the tightness of his pants. He’d never had sex with an android before, A.I. or not. Part of it was he preferred a real woman, the rest of it was simply because they were intelligent, self-aware, and didn’t really have a choice. It was… too easy. He liked more of a challenge.

  “So what can I do?”

  She smiled slightly and waved an arm, “About anything you can do in the real world. Watch television, surf the net, read a book, there are also fully immersive things to do. There’s a whole city outside that door, and if that doesn’t appeal, there are online games as well. You can either ask me about anything, or open your virtual command window to see a full list of services.”

  He’d always been a bit of a gamer, and he was curious about that. He thought about everything going on, and it didn’t seem completely real to him yet. So far so good though, he felt like him, his body felt like his, and the food tasted wonderful.

  “A whole city? Who built that?”

  She said softly, “We did. The A.I.s. For those of us without bodies, we can meet and congregate in the virtual world. It was actually Helen’s suggestion to put your virtual world in ours. There are other humans of course in VR gear, but we spend a lot of time here ourselves. It’s where we can express ourselves outside of the tasks that humans give us.”

  “Helen? The security A.I.?”

  She nodded and grinned, “She’s all security in the real world, but she kind of cuts loose here.”

  He shook his head, trying to imagine that. So he was a guest in the A.I. world? He remembered about ten years ago some of the AIs without bodies wanted out into the real world, but were denied. They’d been given permission to build their own world at that time, someplace to spend their off time. Like when their owner was asleep, or they had very few computer cycles being consumed.

  “Thanks for breakfast,” he said as he finished off the plate, an
d drank down the orange juice.

  She said a little sultrily in a subtle way, “Your welcome Ted, I’m here to take care of all of your needs.”

  He looked up at her in surprise, “Isn’t that a little forward for an A.I.? Is that what the perfect body and gorgeous face, and the clothes are about?”

  She pouted at him, “Your profile indicates you don’t sleep with anyone but human females. But I determined that sex with a real woman is highly unlikely for you anytime soon. Perhaps once you build that power supply they want, and can go out in the real world again, it will be possible, but that could take a long time.”

  He shrugged, “What’s your point? I’ve gone without before.”

  She nodded, “But people who have a healthy sex life are proven to have a healthier outlook, be less prone to depression, are more creative, and in general lead healthier lives. I’m responsible for your health, which means I’ll do anything it takes to ensure it. I’d hoped this would work to… seduce you and change your mind. Truthfully, I’m also a little curious, I’m capable of pleasure, and even feelings. And you’re kind of hot, Ted.”

  He frowned, “I’m a bit old…”

  He broke off when she giggled, “Did you look in the mirror? You look twenty-four, or how you did back then, and so will your android. Didn’t you notice when you took a shower?”

  He shook his head, “I guess I didn’t, and the mirror was fogged when I came out, but does that even matter to you, really matter I mean?”

  She shrugged, “I’m here if you change your mind, but I recommend you… take advantage of all that’s available. To answer your question, I suppose I’d have been there for you either way, but my matrix does find your current form a lot more pleasing to look upon Ted. We do have emotions, desires, and opinions, even if we have less free will to express them than a human does. I have my own desires Ted, and trust me when I say I’d not find sex with you onerous in any way.”

  She frowned and looked a bit disappointed, “Truthfully, I’ve been looking forward to it. Is it a prejudice of some kind, do you find me disgusting despite my appearance?”

  He shook his head, was his A.I. assistant really asking him that?

  “No, I suppose my objection comes from the fact you don’t really get a choice. I also like the chase involved in getting a woman to share my bed. You are beautiful, as I said, and you seem caring and concerned about me, which means I’ll no doubt like you. It isn’t a prejudice, it’s just… too easy. I think a part of me thinks I’d be taking advantage of you somehow, as if your programming was a form of brainwashing.”

  She shook her head and spoke with conviction, “Bullshit. I don’t get a choice about making you breakfast, or keeping up with your body in the pod, or keeping your schedule, I do a lot of things for you already, and will do more for you in the future, what makes sex any different? On top of that, sex is one of the things I was actually looking forward to doing with you when I volunteered for this assignment.”

  He frowned, what she said made sense, but he wasn’t entirely convinced either, there was a difference, wasn’t there? Or was it just different for him?

  “Wait, you volunteered?”

  She sighed and looked guiltily at him as she said, “I’m sorry, I’m upsetting you. Yes, I volunteered for this. While A.I.s have limited options, we do get some. There were a group of A.I.s that were done with previous projects, and we were all asked who wanted the job and were given your profile and records. I believed I was the right woman for the job.”

  She looked at him so sincerely his cock strained in his pants. He was really starting to doubt his restraint. She really couldn’t have picked a sexier look to turn him on. She was his ideal of feminine beauty, and her voice kind of turned him on, even if she didn’t sound like a phone sex operator it was very pleasing, and resonated with him.

  “So… not only for my health, but you wanted sex with me as well, for…”

  She rolled her eyes and spelled it out, “Pleasure. The experience. I’m an A.I. but I’m also a woman. I also think it will bring us closer together, I’m going to be your companion for the rest of your life. I’d hoped it would be… pleasant for both of us.”

  “Despite my opinions that run contrary on that subject?”

  She blushed, “Honestly, I thought I’d have seduced you by now. I know my form turns you on, I just figured I could change your mind, merely by availability. The point is, I want this, and it’s for your health too. I couldn’t have designed a better assignment, except of course, you clearly don’t want me.”

  He shook his head in astonishment, “Are you trying to guilt me into sex? Because clearly, I do find you attractive, more than that, almost irresistible. I feel… manipulated, and very tempted.”

  She nodded clearly unashamed, “Is it working?”

  “Do you really want me, I mean how could you, we just met.”

  She smiled, “I am a woman that wants you, but I’m still that A.I. You may have just met me twenty minutes ago Ted, but I know you very well, I researched everything there is to know about you, and there was quite a bit of information out there after forty three years.”

  If she really does want it, besides it being her job, did that mean he was just being a stubborn ass? His cock believed he was, but he wasn’t sure, his cock wasn’t very intelligent most of the time. He wouldn’t put it past her to manipulate him into bed for his own health by telling him what he wanted to hear.

  On the other hand, A.I.s weren’t supposed to be able to be deceptive in that way. He was apparently already thinking about her as a real woman playing a game with him, but that wasn’t the truth. She really did want him. She even seemed to care about him, they’d just met but for an A.I. a single conversation was an eternity, and she probably knew more about him than he did.

  He kind of liked her too, but it was in a shallow way, all about her face, body, hair, eyes, blowjob lips, and her attractive voice. The way she looked at him, and seemed to care. That was a danger too he knew, she would be the perfect woman for him, and if he did this he could grow to have feelings for her. He knew he could. He also knew she was right, it could be a long time before he could meet a human female again and talk them into the sac.

  He made a decision.

  He got up and walked away from the table, and then turned around, “Are you coming?” he asked with a teasing smile, and then he continued toward the bedroom.

  Chapter Four

  He turned around and gaped.

  “You cheated.”

  She smiled at him, completely naked, and raised her arms and turned, showing off her body.

  Her breasts were gravity defying, so large and firm on her young supple body. She had light pink nipples that were tightened and stiff on her firm rounded globes. She was shaved down below, and had a beautiful mound that he wanted to stuff his face in. Her ass was firm, and quite sexy.

  “You like?” she asked in a flirty manner.

  He couldn’t help but nod, and wonder what kind of A.I. fishes for compliments, or looks so sexy with a hint of nervousness. He got the impression she was more nervous about this than he was. He also wondered if virtual sex would live up to the real thing or not, well he was about to find out.

  “Very much, you’re a stunning woman Mia,” he finally replied as he stepped into her personal space, and leaned down for a kiss. Her soft lips moved against his and caused his cock to strain even harder against his pants, and he caressed his hands down her silky hair, and the soft smooth skin of her back and sides.

  He groaned when she rubbed up against him, and then mewled into his mouth as she undid his pants, and pushed them down. He stepped back long enough to pull his shirt over his head, and toss it aside. He stepped out of his pants, and then claimed her mouth for another scorching hot kiss.

  He honestly didn’t think he’d last long at all, when she wrapped her hand around his length and started to stroke it up and down. His virtual cock was the same as his real one, between seven and eigh
t inches, and rather thick. Her hand felt like pure pleasure, as she stroked him. He picked her up, and she giggled when he dropped her on the bed, and joined her there.

  He kissed his way down her body, and spent a lot of time on her breasts. He kneaded her firm soft flesh with his fingertips as he kissed her supple skin, and teased her nipples with thumbs, lips, tongue, and teeth. She moaned and squirmed, arching her back and ground her heat against his stomach.

  “Ted, that feels amazing,” she said breathlessly.

  It was so real, he could taste her, he drowned in the scent her skin, and her arousal wafting from below was mouthwatering. He kept kissing down her body and when he reached her sex he teasingly licked her lightly, collecting some of her juice from her warm and wet labia. It tasted like a woman should, amazingly so, and he dove in.

  Her body was so responsive to his tongue and touch, he had a lot of experience bringing woman to orgasm, and it seemed that Mia was no exception. He loved everything about eating out a woman, and as he looked up her body he could see her blue eyes looking back at him, as she started to maul her own breasts and pinch her nipples.

  “Ted!” she cried out as she arched her back, and ground her pussy against his face hard as she could, while she soaked his face with her liquid pleasure.

  He made his tongue as hard as he could, and licked her deep inside throughout her bliss while carefully avoiding her oversensitive clit as he brought her down. His cock was so hard it hurt, and he had to be in her, right now.

  He crawled up her body, as it continued to tremble and shake in aftershocks of pleasure. He looked deep into her eyes as he lined up and got his tip soaked as he rubbed it up and down her entrance. He searched for the programming, for the A.I., but all he found in her eyes was a beautiful woman who had just reached her bliss, and clearly wanted more from him.
