Ted Online: Ted Stedman Novel 01 Read online

  Not that he was in complete denial, he knew where he was and what had happened. He just hadn’t been dwelling on it, and had simply enjoyed and focused on the good parts.

  She nodded slowly in understanding, “Want to talk about it?”

  He frowned in thought, “Let’s wait until I get back, I’m just worried that the android won’t feel as real as a human body, like I do in here,” he waved a hand, “This is just zeros and ones, the hardware will be different that way I think. Still, no point in belaboring my worry until I see if it is or isn’t.”

  She smiled comfortingly, “It may not be at first, that’s one of the things that will be dealt with during your rehabilitation to the body, not only controlling it, but the feedback the android chassis gives you. Truth be told though, it’s a lot of software, and it’s the ones and zeros being sent to your brain that will matter more than the android’s chassis.”

  “Actually,” he paused, “That does make me feel a little better.”

  He finished off his breakfast, and stood. He walked around the table and gave her kiss.

  He quipped, “Bye sweetie, I’m off to the office,” and then he headed to the bedroom to the sounds of her sweet giggles. He smiled, he loved to make her laugh, and laid on the bed for the transfer. Just like he would for the game. He accessed his control menu, and saw the new additions. He opened up the android app, and clicked on connect…

  Chapter Fourteen

  It was a bit disorientating at first, but the world around him slowly came into sharp relief. He could feel the chair below him, and the straps on his arms holding him down. He looked around, and was in a lab, not one like his, this one had medical and android equipment scattered around. He also took in Silvia and Sara.

  Sara was wearing a snug blouse with flower designs all over it, and a pair of yoga pants. She looked sexy in the simple clothes, and had a welcoming smile on her cute face. Her long light blonde hair was up in a bun exposing her long graceful neck.

  Dr. Trent wore a white lab coat over a black skirt and red blouse. Despite being ten years older than the cute and sexy Sara, she was if anything more beautiful, and exotically sexy with her Eurasian features and long brunette hair. It could have also had something to do with the fact that her breasts were slightly bigger, and her body was curvier as well, he wasn’t sure.

  He cut off those thoughts though, they weren’t there to be his eye candy, he’d gotten too used to Mia and the Endless War game. Still, they were very attractive, and he felt his manhood stir. Not harden, just a few slight tingles from enjoying the view.

  He was also confused, so he spoke, “Morning Doctor, Sara, why am I tied up?”

  He considered making a puerile joke, but passed on the thought.

  Silvia smiled and almost seemed to mean it this time, “It is good to see you again Ted. You’re tied down because right now the android is limited to five percent strength and we didn’t want you to hurt yourself. First we’ll go over hand and head movements, and if all seems well we can move on from there. How do you feel?”

  He shrugged, or tried to but his arms wouldn’t let him move his shoulders, “Fine. A bit nervous, and a bit excited. So far things seem, normal. Although my voice doesn’t sound quite right.”

  Silvia nodded, “It’s the receptors, I assure you your voice is exactly the same to us, but you’ll hear it slightly differently because of the way human hearing works. We can compensate for that of course through manipulation of the sound signal as you hear it, but it will take a bit to get it right.”

  Silvia asked, “Can you make a fist, and then stretch out your hand.”

  She had him perform a number of things with his feet, hands, and head. Such as rotating his ankles, his head, blinking, she even handed him several things to hold. When she was satisfied she removed the buckles.

  She handed him a tablet, and had him talk while he fiddled with sound settings. After a while, he thought it was either right, or close enough.

  Silvia smiled and it reached her eyes, “This is going very well, beyond expectations, let’s see if you can walk. Sara, give him a hand.”

  Sara walked over and gripped his arm gently as he stood up. He wobbled a whole lot, and he looked up confused. The rest of it had gone so well, and now he felt off balance and unsure.

  Sara explained in a soft soothing voice, “This is expected Ted. Holding something in your hand isn’t very subtle. Balance and walking is much harder. Think of a baby, they start grabbing and sticking everything in their mouths long before they can walk. It will just take time for your brain to become accustomed to its new physical body.”

  “Thanks,” he said softly, and then explained, “I knew it would require effort, but everything had gone so well that I suppose I forgot.”

  She walked him slowly around the lab in short circuits, and managed to keep him from falling on his ass about a hundred times. Lifting his leg was easy, it was the balancing part with his toes and center of gravity which was the hard part. He kept falling backwards each time he tried to step forward. It was embarrassing.

  He also didn’t fail to notice Sara’s alluring scent, or the way she held his arm and kept rubbing his back with the other. Not to mention her inviting smile. If he didn’t know better, he’d say she was flirting with him.

  Over the next few hours Dr. Trent never stopped asking him questions. Things like how did he feel, was the sensitivity of his skin correct, his sense of smell, his eyesight, and hearing? The questions seemed endless, but he didn’t complain. In a way this experience was kind of cathartic, he could see himself back in the lab again, banging his head against the desk about the stupid power systems.

  She also asked if he felt off about anything else that she hadn’t addressed.

  He shook his head at the last question, “No, you’ve done a great job with this doctor. Just fine motor control needs work I suppose, and balance.”

  He was getting a bit better, and wasn’t tired at all, but Sara led him back to his chair.

  “Is there a reason we’re stopping? I think I felt a bit more balanced there at the end.”

  Dr. Trent smiled, “You only have so much power remember? Plus, Sara looks a bit winded carrying you around.”

  He frowned, it had been a while, he smiled up at her apologetically, “Sorry about that.”

  Sara touched his arm, “Part of the job, it was hardly unpleasant to… assist you.”

  Nope, she was definitely flirting with him. It hadn’t been his imagination at all.

  He asked, “So what’s next?”

  “Sara, bring over the tray,” Silvia ordered.

  Sara went to the cabinet, and pulled out a tray covered in small snacks. Grapes, chocolate, strawberry, and all sorts of other small finger foods.

  He looked up and Sara explained with a cute tilt of her head, she also reclaimed his arm with her hand.

  “Taste is important. We know your senses of smell, touch, hearing, and eyesight seem okay, although there will be more done on those later. I’m sure Mia explained to you how important some things are to a human mind. It wouldn’t be much of a new body if you couldn’t enjoy a meal, or some other tasty treat,” she winked.

  The innuendo in her voice made his cock twitch, but surely the hot and very young R.N. didn’t want to sleep with an android driven by a forty-three-year-old, did she? He dismissed the thought, and picked out a piece of chocolate. It was really good, and melted in his mouth. It just didn’t taste like chocolate.

  He frowned, “It’s really good, but something is off. The texture seems fine, I even got a small endorphin rush, but the taste isn’t quite right. Does that matter?”

  Silvia looked thoughtful, and he popped a grape into his mouth. That too felt the same, the texture and burst of liquid in his mouth. It even had a slight sour taste as well as the sweetness, it just tasted a bit different. He found that odd, because wasn’t it just programming? Everything tasted correctly that Mia had cooked him in his virtual home.

  �
�That one too, texture, sweet and tart, burst of moisture, all good. Just… doesn’t taste like a grape, or at least, not exactly.”

  Silvia cleared her throat a bit nervously, “We’ll look at that before tomorrow. We just have one more test to perform and it might be a bit awkward, but it’s essential to make sure things are working okay and correctly.”

  He nodded slowly, “What is it?”

  Silvia asked clinically, “Do you find Sara attractive Ted?”

  He asked, “Excuse me?”

  Silvia closed her eyes and sighed, “Forget HR, or sexual harassment, this is part of a lab test, to ensure your android body functions as your physical body did. Sexuality is a big part of it, do you find Sara attractive?”

  He looked up at Sara, who brushed his arm softly, “Yes, she’s a very attractive young woman.”

  Sara smiled at him a little naughtily, and put her hand over his cock, which was still mostly soft. He looked at Silvia who appeared to be all business. Despite the oddity, he did react a little to her touch.

  Silvia asked in a tone of voice that would be used to request a piece of gum, “Sara’s going to take your penis out now, and stroke it until you experience an orgasm, would you like that?”

  His cock twitched, and he looked up at Sara’s big brown eyes. Before he could answer, Sara did for him.

  “He’s definitely reacting doctor, may I proceed?”

  The words he heard from Sara’s mouth had been clinical, but her breathless tone had not been. This was so bizarre, yet also turned him on a great deal, and he moaned softly as she unbuttoned his pants and fished him out. He gripped the armrest of the chair and thrusted up a bit, as she started to lightly stroke him up and down. His eyes followed hers, as she moved in front of the chair and got on her knees.

  Silvia asked in a clinical tone, “How does that feel?”

  Sara licked her lips and stared down at his eight hard inches as she slowly stroked him, and then met his eyes again with a lusty look. Holy crap.

  He replied a little breathlessly, “Very sensitive, very pleasurable. Just about perfect.”

  Silvia cleared her throat, and he looked over at her. She looked like she had a little sweat on her forehead, and her eyes didn’t show the clinical equanimity that her voice had shown. She was also clearly staring at Sara’s hand working up and down his entire length. His cock twitched at the idea that the sexy doctor was turned on by this.

  He looked back at Sara who mouthed at him so the doctor wouldn’t hear, “You have a huge cock, I want you to fuck me with it. I wanted to suck it, feel you cum in my mouth, but the bitch said no.”

  He groaned in shocked pleasure at the idea, and started to push up from his center, literally fucking her hand as she stroked him faster, and squeezed a little harder.

  Silvia asked in a mostly clinical, but slightly breathy tone of voice, “Does the pleasure feel too intense, or not intense enough?” he wouldn’t have heard the difference in her voice if he wasn’t focused on trying to hear it.

  He thrust up, then as he fantasized about slamming into Sara from behind, while the doctor clinically watched and was slowly overcome with lust. He imagined the sexy doctor finally giving in to her lust, and pictured her pulling up her skirt, and start to stroke her pussy, all while she watched him fuck her assistant, and that set him off. He exploded, and his cum went all over the place. On Sara’s hand, on her shirt, her cute face, on his own chest, as she continued to stroke him fast through his orgasm.

  He’d have to thank her for that later, it always made it so much more intense.

  He took deep breaths, and she understood the look of raw lust he gave her. He saw it in her eyes. Anytime, anywhere. He wondered if she had a thing for android sex, or just the thought of being the first to fuck the first human android combination. Either way, she obviously wanted him very badly.

  His cock twitched as she winked and licked her hand clean.

  He looked over to the doctor and gathered his thoughts, they hadn’t done this just to get him off. Well, maybe Sara had. A human’s sanity as Mia explained required that their sexual equipment functioned and worked correctly.

  He reported, his voice still slightly breathless, “Right, sensitive. Honestly it was damned close to perfect. Maybe you could slightly lower the sensitivity on the shaft, but up the sensitivity on the head. Not a whole lot, just a small amount. The tip wasn’t quite sensitive enough, but the higher sensitivity of the shaft obviously made up for that this time around.”

  He looked at Sara and said, “And Sara was pretty damned perfect too.”

  Doctor Trent took a moment to collect herself, but pretty much failed and gave up on the clinical voice, “Okay Ted,” she said in a soft voice, “we’ll look at that, and the taste code, and have another go at all of it tomorrow?”

  She blushed as she realized what she just said could be taken rather naughtily, and added, “The walking too of course.”

  Ted pretended not to notice Silvia’s flustered state, but Sara clearly saw his cock twitch and smiled knowingly at him as he said, “Thank you doctor, so we’re done for now?”

  Doctor Trent nodded absently, “Yes, if things check out tomorrow, you can spend time in the lab on the following day. Go ahead and log out, Sara will clean things up.”

  Sara pouted rather sexily and whispered, “It won’t be nearly as fun without you driving.”

  He winked, said goodbye, and logged out.

  That had been, crazy…

  Chapter Fifteen

  Mia asked, “So how was it?”

  He smiled and kissed her softly in greeting, and then answered, “Hello to you too sexy. It was much better than I thought it would be, but less than I’d hoped. Tomorrow we’ll try again, a lot of things were actually fine, most of it even. Just needs some work on motor control, taste, and… skin sensitivity.”

  She snickered at his dodge, “Hello Ted, sorry. I guess I was a little worried about you too. Good though?”

  He nodded, “I’m looking forward to tomorrow, if it works out I can get back to working on a better power core. At least for half days, I’ll still be in your hair most of the time.”

  She smiled teasingly, “You’ll be in more than just my hair Ted,” she said in a sultry teasing voice.

  He shook his head but smiled at her words, “So what’s the plan for the rest of the day? It’s just what… eleven in the morning?”

  She looked thoughtful for a moment, “How about a beach picnic, and then you can go kill more stuff in that game. I’d rather just keep you all the time, but that…”

  He finished, “Wouldn’t be healthy for me.”

  She smirked, “Exactly. So fess up, did Sara give you a good hand job?”

  At his shocked look she said, “I have a copy of the test procedures they’d planned, and had to okay them as you’re… personal physician.”

  He shook his head, “Very good actually, but I think what made it really hot was the doctor watching her do it, and losing her cool.”

  Mia giggled, “She did? I wish I could’ve seen that. The woman is so professional and never lets her hair down. Figuratively speaking.”

  He shrugged, “She’s stunning, which is probably why. I imagine she has trouble enough getting people to take her seriously, she looks more like a model in her twenties, than a doctor in her thirties.”

  Mia kissed me and smiled, “You’re probably right, I should have realized that. You take me seriously though, so…” she trailed off.

  He shrugged, “It’s different, you’re many things to me, but mostly when I see you I think of you as mine, my lover, and someone I’m growing to care about. I take you seriously about the other stuff, but I don’t dwell on it. I know you. For her, she has to deal with strangers that don’t know her, and has to get them to treat her seriously right off.”

  He wasn’t sure if he explained that right, but whatever, “Picnic? Then gaming, and then back here for dinner and bed? No, I don’t mean sleeping.”

 
; It was a little weird. He knew he came in the android body, but even back here he could still feel the endorphins and after effects of Sara’s hand job. He knew here in his virtual body, in the android, and in the game, were all connected to his physical mind and body in the pod, but it was still startling.

  She smiled and bit her lip, “Sounds about right, and I can’t wait for that not sleeping part. I already made the food and packed it. Ready when you are.”

  She giggled, “Actually, I’m pretty sure I’m addicted to that not sleeping part. I keep missing the input, there also may be a surprise tonight,” she said with a salacious grin.

  “A surprise?” he asked in an intrigued voice.

  She nodded and tried to look innocent, “It’s not a surprise if I tell you.”

  She grabbed his hand and they headed out to the beach. It was a beautiful day, although he imagined it didn’t have to rain in this virtual world to keep the grass green. They talked about a lot of stuff over lunch, nothing Earth shattering, just getting to know each other, mostly him learning about her really, since she knew a lot about his habits, likes, and dislikes already.

  The doctor and Sara had been a fun distraction, but the woman he was falling for was the one he had lunch with, on the beach. She looked incredibly sexy and fetching in a white bikini, and it wasn’t as if he didn’t notice, but more and more he was drawn by who she was, rather than what she looked like. He was half convinced he loved her already, and it had only been three days. A very intense and emotional three days, but still.

  It all happened so fast. He wasn’t sure what the future would bring them, not really, but if he ever did find a human woman to love again on the outside, he already knew he would choose Mia if that person couldn’t handle what he had with her. A part of him was confused by that decision, the old part, but most of him couldn’t imagine it going any other way. She was clearly his, and more and more he was becoming hers.

  When he took her home, they kissed and teased each other for a while in bed, and then he entered the game. A little delayed gratification was healthy apparently, and Mia seemed fine applying that logic to herself as well…
