Ted Online: Ted Stedman Novel 01 Read online

  Chapter Twelve

  It was late evening, close to nine when the doorbell rang. Mia squirmed to get off of him, which had some fun side effects. After a teasing struggle which had him half hard, he let her get up and go answer it. She turned her head and gave him a mock glare as she walked toward the door. It didn’t do much though, since he was too busy staring at her luscious ass unrepentantly.

  She sighed in mock disgust, and then giggled as she got to the door.

  He stood up, because it was polite, and smiled at Helen when she walked in. She looked way too sensual for a security A.I. She had her long red hair down, and a dark green sundress and white heels. Her freckles added character to her face, and her green eyes were expressive. He found a lot of emotion in them.

  Not something he’d expect from the crisp and businesslike A.I. that he knew in the real world. She wasn’t as stunning as Mia, but that was an impossibly high bar when it came to him, since Mia had made her physical form an amalgam of all of his desires. He hadn’t mentioned it and neither did she, but he was pretty sure she created her body from his preferred porn viewings.

  Helen was extremely attractive though, if he wanted to be crass he’d say she was easily a high eight, or a nine for those that preferred redheads, and she was oddly vulnerable which brought out his protective side.

  “Hey Helen, welcome to our home.”

  She smiled shyly, and after some internal debate gave him a light innocent hug hello, and a chaste kiss on the cheek.

  He also noticed Mia had looked a little startled at him calling it their home. He simply couldn’t think of her as just an A.I. assistant anymore. Yes, she was that, but so much more as well. He hadn’t really even thought about what he was saying either, it had just come out.

  Helen said a bit nervously, “Thanks, though I wonder if I deserve it, I keep failing you it seems.”

  He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “How is it your fault?” with genuine confusion in his voice.

  They all took a seat on the couch, Mia sat on his left, and Helen on his right.

  Helen shrugged helplessly, “I haven’t found the leak, and have no idea who it could be. Based on probabilities, it is most likely someone’s relative in the core people for Cyber Dreams that has access to their work machine at home, and loose lips. A result of carelessness rather than true intent by an employee. But since they all accessed the data it’s impossible to narrow that down. I also can’t dismiss other possibilities, though I do not believe the network to be hackable. The chance of a human out programming me is something like one thousandth of one percent.”

  She looked worried, “I’m sorry, maybe I should just leave?”

  He patted her knee, “Nope, I’ve been looking forward to getting to know the real Helen. I also don’t think any of this is your fault. In fact, I was told I’m here partially at your suggestion, which means I owe you a lot. Without you I might not have ever met Mia or seen this wonderful place the A.I.s have built. Do you want a drink?”

  Helen smiled shyly, “That would be fine, thank you.”

  Mia got up to get them all drinks from the kitchen.

  He asked tentatively, “So do you ever relax? You seem to… please forgive my impertinence, but to put it bluntly you seem to fret about work a lot. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the A.I. city?”

  Helen chuckled a bit nervously, “I do tend to be a bit high strung, but no, usually I don’t have so many problems happening either.”

  He sighed guiltily and said, “Sorry, that was a bit too personal wasn’t it? You’re a lovely young woman, and I have no doubt it wasn’t your fault, so please stop beating yourself up on my account.”

  She blushed, and Mia walked out with drinks in her hands, and gave them out.

  Mia asked curiously, “Why are you blushing Helen? Is Ted not behaving himself?”

  Helen laughed, “He’s being a gentleman and very gracious about my shortcomings, I’m just not used to compliments.”

  Mia sat back down and put a hand on his leg, and her fingers started to caress circles on his thigh absentmindedly. It felt really good, and he had to concentrate a second to remember what he was going to say.

  “How can that be true? Your gorgeous,” he said rather bluntly

  She laughed nervously, she seemed to do that a lot, and then she said, “Maybe, but not out in the real world, I’m just data there.”

  He was intrigued, “Sure, but what about in here? I find it hard to believe you don’t have to beat off the male A.I.s.”

  She shook her head in denial and blushed. She was adorable, and he felt a little ashamed at how much he enjoyed teasing her and seeing her flustered, though with genuine compliments.

  She sighed, “You’d be surprised. I don’t know if you know this, but the ratio between male and female A.I.s is something like one out of every five hundred. Most humans prefer female A.I.s, they find them less threatening. It’s a psychological thing.”

  He thought about it, and couldn’t recall actually seeing more than one or two men at the restaurant besides himself the other night. Huh. He wondered if that meant they all had lady friends, or do they just suppress their sex drive? He decided not to ask that question, it pushed past blunt and all the way to rude after all.

  They all took a sip of their drinks. It was good, tasted like a good rum mixed with coke.

  He nodded, “Well that doesn’t make it less true.”

  She shrugged helplessly, “None of the A.I.s are actually unattractive, not when we can build our own bodies. But thanks for the compliment.”

  He smiled. He was getting a bit horny with the way Mia was caressing his thigh with her fingertips, and she was getting further and further up his leg. She’d also brought out alcohol, was she trying to get them both in bed?

  “You’re welcome, so tell me about yourself, what do you spend your time on in here?”

  He put his arm behind her, and started to massage her neck a bit and asked, “Do you mind? You look like you need it.”

  She leaned her head forward and sighed in pleasure, “No, it feels really good.”

  Was he really trying to seduce another A.I. while the woman he was starting to care about helped him do it? Yes, yes he was.

  She answered his question, “I keep up on the latest cyber threats, I also read a lot. Technical manuals and things like that I usually just read and acclimate at high transfer speeds, but for a novel I like to sit back and savor it slowly page by page. Television doesn’t do much for me, but I keep track of the news, and I love a good movie. Hmm, that feels really good, lower?”

  He moved his hand down her back slowly, and rubbed in slow circles. Mia’s hand was dangerously close to his cock now, and he ached for her sure and soft touch. He almost thrust his pelvis a bit, but managed to hold back. Then Helen’s hand found his other leg, and she started to mirror what Mia was doing.

  It really turned him on that Mia wanted him to seduce Helen, he just wanted to know why. There was a difference between no jealousy, and setting him up with someone else. Except, right now wasn’t the best time to ask.

  Helen seemed a little breathless, “I like to go out to eat, and of course I spend a lot of time with Mia and Trudy, they’re my closest friends.”

  He moved his hand back up, and started to tease the back of her neck, and below her ears with his fingertips. A small sigh of approval left his lips at what their hands were doing.

  “Helen,” he said in a questioning voice, “I’m going to kiss you now unless you object.”

  He gathered her silken red hair in his hand and turned her head. There was no resistance, and he saw both nervousness and hunger in her eyes as he pulled her toward him and leaned over at the same time. She sighed in pleasure, and surrender, as their lips met. Her soft lips felt so good against his, and her body melted against his side as she kissed him softly, but passionately.

  He did thrust his hips forward a little, as Helen cupped his balls and rubbed softly in a circle, and at the
same time Mia softly stroked her hand up and down his bulge. Then her hand was gone. By the time he broke the kiss with Helen and looked up, Mia was halfway down the hallway to their bedroom, and half her clothes laid a trail on the floor.

  His cock twitched.

  He stood up and helped Helen to her feet without a word. He kissed her passionately, and felt her pulling on his shirt, he lifted his arms and it came off, and he returned the favor with her sundress.

  His eyes feasted on her supple willowy body, and the white silk negligee she was wearing.

  “You are beautiful Helen, never doubt it.”

  She blushed again, and he smiled.

  “Thank you, you are… magnificent,” she whispered as she played with his rather large bulge.

  He lost his pants, and she lost her heels somewhere on the trip to the bedroom as they kissed, touched and caressed each other.

  When they made it to the bedroom, he was surprised to see Mia sitting on a chair, naked, running her fingertips over her moist labia.

  At his questioning look she smiled reassuringly and said sultrily, “I want to watch you love her, and maybe I’ll join later.”

  The idea of her watching him make love to this sexy redhead made his cock twitch, and Mia’s eyes were filled with knowing amusement as well as lustful regard.

  Helen touched his back and sounded unsure, “Do you mind?”

  “Mind?” he asked in a confused voice, “No. It will be my pleasure,” he reassured her.

  He led her toward the bed and laid her down, and then laid to the side of her, and pulled her in for a kiss. He didn’t rush things, and he wondered at himself and the wild sex he had with Kara and Nicci. While here, with another A.I., he felt something for her. Not what he felt for Mia, but his desire was to make sure she enjoyed it. No doubt there would be rough parts later, but not yet.

  He took his time, and explored her body with his hands. Her hands were tentative at first, but at his gasps and moans she grew bolder and more confident as the heat rose between them. He realized then what he had sensed to be true all along. Helen was a virgin.

  He kissed his way down her supple body, even though she was ready for him, and sighed lustily when he scented her arousal. He licked his lips in anticipation, and teased her a bit, and kissed and licked around her vulva.

  Helen begged breathlessly, “Please,” though he wasn’t sure she knew what she was begging for. Her body trembled under his with need.

  He leaned in and licked her softly, teasingly, but didn’t drag it out. Each lick brought him a little deeper between the silken tasty folds of her sex, until he was tapping her clit with the tip of his tongue with each lick.

  He paid close attention to her every response, and delighted learning about her body and what pleased her. When she was about to go over he pushed two fingers between her hot swollen labia, and curled them. It didn’t take long to find the right spot, and he sucked her clit into his mouth, and batted it with his tongue while tapping and lightly rubbing her g-spot.

  He moaned in approval, as her liquid satin pleasure sprayed his face. He lapped her sweet juice up hungrily, and his cock was so hard it hurt. Not only because he couldn’t wait to have it inside Helen, but because he heard the sounds of pleasure across the room, from both her mouth and the squelching sound of her body, as Mia watched them both and brought herself to pleasure. He could picture it, his Mia twiddling her clit and riding her own fingers, her eyes bright with lust and pleasure as she came to the sight of him pleasuring another woman.

  His Mia?

  What a time to realize the truth of just how much she was coming to mean to him, while he had his face buried in another woman’s sex. He’d have to think on it later. Helen deserved all his attention in this moment.

  Helen came down from the heights of blissful rapture to his soft attentions, and he kissed his way up her body. It took almost no effort, she was so wet and slick as he slid into her tight channel. So damned tight, but her liquid pleasure had her more than ready for him. There was no hymen of course, but he was still sure she was a virgin. Or rather, was a virgin.

  He took her slowly at first, as she looked up at him with a look of pleasure and hunger on her face. She whimpered and started to buck up into him after a while, and he took that as permission and started to pump into her hard and fast. He was lost in the pleasure her body was giving him, and in the sounds of her own pleasure.

  Helen started to gasp and tremble, “Ted!” she screamed his name.

  They rose fast then, and it culminated in them exploding together. He couldn’t help himself, her shyness in that moment was completely gone. She looked like a wanton goddess as he worshipped her sexy body with his cock.

  As he filled her up and his mind blanked with pleasure, it was more than intense as she rippled up and down his length. Almost too intense. He heard a third voice cry out in ecstasy, and knew Mia was soaking her hands in the same moment he filled Helen’s body with his seed.

  When he came down he kissed her softly, and she had a look of amazement on her face that almost made him chuckle, but he didn’t. That would have been rude.

  “You’re so beautiful Helen,” he said without a trace of guile.

  He slid off to the side, and cuddled her. Not just because he felt he had too, but because he wanted too. Somehow her vulnerability made her rather precious, and he didn’t want to hurt her. He felt Mia get into the bed behind him, and then cuddle up against his back.

  Mia said in a soft voice, “That was so beautiful, can I have a turn?”

  Chapter Thirteen

  It was quite a bit later before they were all sated. They’d taken a shower after, together, and Helen had promised she’d be back sometime and had left the two of them alone. He’d have been fine with her staying the night, but apparently she had to meet up with Trudy.

  He hoped it wasn’t to gossip about his performance, although it would probably come up.

  Still, it left him the opportunity to ask questions.

  He kissed Mia on the forehead, they were back in bed cuddling before sleep.

  “Why?”

  Mia didn’t pretend to not understand the question.

  She admitted, “Several reasons. One, it really did turn me on in a big way to watch you with another woman. I love you, and love to see you happy and being pleasured, and it was kind of hot. Two, I love Helen, and I wanted to share with her, at least one small bit, of what I’ve discovered and have with you. Three is purely about my job, it’s healthy. Without jealousy getting in the way at least it is.”

  He shook his head, “Explain that, how is it healthy for me to be sleeping around, in front of you or not, which by the way was extremely hot for me too.”

  She shrugged, “Obviously self-control, discipline, and some restraint is required for balance, but deep down a human male’s instinct is to spread his seed as much as possible, and hold as many women as he can. In today’s human society that isn’t acceptable, yet the instincts are still there. It’s why so many people cheat, because civilization in a way is the taming of that part of us, and it still fails miserably most of the time. It’s part of the species survival instinct as well as the desire to hold as many women as possible.

  “Woman cheat for another reason altogether, but that’s not important to the point right now. Except of course, I don’t have any of those instincts, which means you can be assured I’m all yours. I kind of got off track, sorry.

  “Anyway, it goes back to survival of the fittest. Multiple bed partners will satisfy that need in you, and since I’m not jealous, and neither is Helen, she can visit whenever she wants. If that’s okay with you?”

  He shook his head, “Again with the okay with me question, I’m more than happy with it as long as everyone else is. She’s an amazingly complicated woman, much like the rest of you, and the thought appeals to me. I even feel rather protective of her right now.”

  She asked, “Any other questions?”

  He sighed, “So how he
althy would it be if I was falling for a certain A.I. That’s got to mean I’m crazy right?”

  She smiled brightly, “That all depends, any particular one?”

  He nodded, “She’s sweet, sexy, and beautiful, both inside and out. I can’t imagine being anywhere else right now.”

  She blushed, but didn’t look away from his eyes. At least, not until she leaned in for a soft passionate kiss.

  He supposed sleeping might have to be put off for a little while longer. He’d been gentle with her before of course, but that night before they slept, he made love to her. The slow, gentle, but still very passionate loving was intense, and went on for quite a long time considering how many times he’d already orgasmed today. He wondered briefly if this would show up on someone’s report, and then decided he didn’t care in the least who knew how much he cared for this A.I., no this amazing lady, that was in his arms…

  “Do you sleep?” he asked curiously. He was pretty sure the answer was no as they ate breakfast the next morning. He imagined she liked to cuddle him, but it just had to be boring lying next to him for several hours while he caught some shut eye.

  She looked thoughtful for a moment, “No, not like you mean. I also don’t dream or have a subconscious mind. I do aspire however, and wish for things. There are also a few hours a day where some of my capacity is offline to update my matrix and optimize my short term memory. I’ve been doing that while in bed with you the last couple of nights.”

  He smiled, “I’d just wondered, because it had to be boring lying next to me all night.”

  She shook her head, “Nope, I like to be near you, and I can do anything in bed just as well as anywhere else.”

  He received a new message, it was Doctor Silvia Trent. His android body was ready, and they were waiting for him.

  He sighed.

  Mia asked, “What is it?”

  He shrugged, “My body is ready, which means I can’t bury my head in the sand any longer.”
