An Unexpected Offer
An Unexpected Offer
Prologue
I had just turned the key in the ignition to start the van and turned the heat up a notch as my cell phone rang. Looking at the caller identification and recognizing the office number I swore aloud, “Shit! what now?”
Thumbing the slide to answer, I sighed. “Yeah?”
“Mike, I know it’s late in the day, but we’ve got a hot emergency, an LP gas furnace with no heat that’s willing to pay extra along with a tip if you want to take it. You’re the closest one out that direction of the valley, so I wanted to offer it to you first. The customer lives out in Glenwood Estates, though, so about an hour drive for you. What do you say, you want to take it?” Asked the familiar feminine voice on the other end of the line.
I rubbed my chin and looked at the clock on the dashboard. It read 4:02 pm. Pondering and considering the extra cash it would mean for my paycheck, I made my decision and hoped I wouldn’t regret it later as I’d arrive there shortly before five, with no shop support, and it was the weekend. Meaning that if I couldn’t solve the problem, the customer would be cold for a few days.
“Sure! Send me the info, and I’ll take the call. You know Jen, you’re going to owe me for this. I expect next week to be a lighter load, please. I’m already over fifty hours this week. But I can always use the money.” I stated.
“I know, I know. You’re a lifesaver, Mike. I’ll send you her info and let her know you’ll be on your way.” Jen replied.
Within three minutes, Jen had sent over the client's address and information for one: Ms. Adalynn Ardent of GlennWood Estates. “That’s a ritzy high-class area for sure,” I said aloud to no one as I entered her phone number and hit send.
Chapter 1
Kneeling forward and watching the color and pattern of the flame as it came off the furnace burners, I wondered about the time now and how late it was getting to be. The day had already been a long one, and I felt fatigued, worn down, and wanted to be done with work, wanting to be home and sleep.
I was finishing this, the fifth and final heating service call of the day, and I was ready for my weekend to begin. Cold temperatures throughout the week had taken their toll on the many heating systems that hadn’t been regularly maintained, such as this one for Ms. Adalynn Ardent. At first, I regretted my decision to take this last call. But upon initially meeting her and seeing her, I was glad I had.
Watching the flame produced by the furnace burners, the color was a perfect light blue with the more delicate yellow tips at the end of them. The flames pulled into the heat exchanger of the furnace from the force of the exhaust assembly fan. I saw no dancing or erratic fluttering of the flames that could indicate a potential safety issue to the homeowner.
Squatting back on my heels, I reached for the furnace door that I had previously placed beside the unit and pulled it out. Glancing between my digital manometer display and the manufacturer’s BTU output specifications on the door, I saw that the system was operating just as it should be. Another repair and performance tune-up completed, and hopefully, another happy, satisfied client.
Standing up, I brushed the dust off my knees and thought about this new client. Her eyes had captured my attention the second she had opened the door. A beautiful crystal blue color. Captivating. Her face is perfectly framed by her shoulder length, wavy, sandy blonde hair. She stood about 5’7”, I’d guess, somewhere early to mid-thirties. Her long-sleeve, cream colored button-up blouse hugged and accentuated her curves, and she fit into her jeans all too perfectly.
Ms. Ardent had called into the office stating that her heating system wasn’t working and that the thermostat was reading a cool sixty degrees in the home with the system blower running constantly. She had also stated that she was willing to pay the extra overtime charge with a good tip if I could get to her today before 5:30 pm.
My initial examination of her furnace found the igniter had failed, and the flame sensor had a lot of carbon build-up on it, which could cause a loss in signal back to the equipment control board. The carbon causes the heating system to short cycle, shortening the life of the igniter component. It also appeared not to have been serviced in several years. After visiting with her about it and discussing the options for today's repair and a routine preventative maintenance program for her future benefit, she gave me the go-ahead to perform the necessary and recommended work.
Her home was unique, nestled in the upper country near the national forest boundaries in GlennWood Estates, nearly 40 miles from the city and inside a private gated community where there were probably no more than a dozen or so other custom-built monster homes. It had all the upscale furniture and finishes, open concept, and was bright and fresh. I couldn’t tell from our initial greeting and conversation if she was married or had a boyfriend, whether or not she had been born into her money, which she appeared to have plenty for where her home was. I hadn’t seen any other pictures or photographs besides those of just her and a few paintings. But she had money apparently, and it showed.
Being both licensed as a heating and air technician and a journeyman electrician, I had learned to be observant of my surroundings, to communicate openly, and to establish my rapport with the client. I always try to comment on a select few items in the home and the outside areas of the house. Commenting helps build a relationship of trust and show that I’m not just here to fix the problem and run, which helped set her at ease as I could sense some of her hesitations lessen the longer we conversed.
Having exited the mechanical room, I made my way back to the basement stairwell to head back upstairs to the thermostat and turn the system down so I could remove and disconnect my testing equipment.
Upon reaching the main floor landing and assuming Ms. Ardent was still in the back half of the house where she had previously said she would be, I turned towards the main hallway where the thermostat was.
“Ok, time to turn you back down before turning you back up,” I said softly to myself as I extended a hand out to make the necessary adjustments on the thermostat.
“Did you need something, Mike?” Ms. Ardent asked, surprising me as she poked her head out of a room near the end of the hallway, expressing something between a smile and a smirk as she asked her question. Her blonde hair falling just off her shoulders.
Jumping, I was startled due to her sudden and silent appearance and quickly turned towards her. “Oh! Ms. Ardent, you surprised me. Sorry, no, not yet. I’m just wrapping up. Your heat is back on though, and your furnace system is working great again. You should start to feel it warming back up within a few minutes. I will come to find you once I’ve packed my stuff up and written my notes.” I informed her.
With a nod, she tilted her head somewhat and replied. “Oh, that’s great. Yes, just ..” She paused. “..yes, come and find me once you’re ready.” She then disappeared back into the room as quickly as she had appeared.
I thought that I had barely whispered aloud as I wondered how she had heard me here in the hallway.
Fifteen minutes later as I wrote today’s date on the service sticker and stood back to give one last look at the equipment. “Done, let my weekend begin. Collect the check, say my goodbyes, and give Adalynn Adrent one more look for the ol’ memory.” I said aloud. I had to admit she was stunningly beautiful.
Having collected and packed my tools away in the van I returned to the hallway, turning the thermostat back up to a comfortable setting. I rechecked my work area for any items I could have forgotten and for proper cleanliness. All was in order. I made my way back upstairs and to the hallway. I called out to her. “Ms. Ardent?”
Silence filled the home. Cocking my head, I listened intently and still heard no reply.
Moving down the hall back towards the back rooms of the home, I called out yet again. “Ms. Ardent? I’m ready to go over the paperwork and today's service with you.”
Wondering if maybe she was occupied in the restroom, I continued to wait where I stood. After another few minutes of waiting and still not hearing the flush of a toilet or any noise whatsoever. I carefully stepped towards the room I had seen her pop out of earlier.
The door was open slightly, and peering through the opening, I could see an ornate wooden twelve-drawer dresser against the far wall with a few decorative items on top and a large flat-screen television above it. There was a light on in the adjoining bathroom to the left. I immediately supposed this to be the master bedroom. “Ms. Ardent? Adalynn?” Calling out again to her.
With no response at this point, a panicked thought crossed my mind, what if something had happened to her. I carefully pushed open the door to the bedroom and glanced around at all the visible areas. The room was in immaculate condition with no sign of her. The bed was made up nice and neat while a lamp atop the far night stand cast a warm glow over and around it. Turning my attention to the en-suite, I carefully walked over to the open doorway, mentally preparing for whatever I’d see, hoping that she hadn’t passed out or had a seizure and was now lying on the cold floor.
Whatever I had thought I’d find and or see was nothing compared to the scene that stood before me.
Adalynn was standing at the edge of the double vanity, looking in my direction, stock still along with her right hand extended out towards me, holding a piece of paper with what appeared to be a handwritten note. Her eyes were open, staring straight ahead, she had a gentle closed-lip smile, yet she stood stock still as if she were a statue or mannequin.
“Ms. Ardent? Adalynn?” I asked again with a concerned voice as I waved my hands in the air directly in front of her face. With no response from her, I sat my clipboard down on the edge of the vanity, carefully closed the distance between us, and with some hesitation I took the paper from her hand.
Looking down at the note, I began to read:
“Mike, I’ve probably freaked you out with my current appearance. Please don’t be afraid, please don’t run away, and I’ll explain everything.
In all outward appearances, I’m a vibrant, prosperous, healthy woman. Yet, in reality, I’m an advanced, sophisticated android. A machine that appears and feels human, and I am in need of your help.
A little over a year ago, my owner passed away in a tragic car accident. Since then, I have maintained this home, his property, myself, etc. He considered me not just property but also his wife and companion. However, due to particular time restrictions placed upon me because of what I am, I need to find a new owner—someone who will claim ownership over me, like a partner and friend.
From our few short minutes together and having done a quick background check on you. I find you an honest man, and I now ask for your help. Would you please be willing to be my new owner and friend?
Mike, I present you with two options. Behind my left ear, you will find a soft glowing blue LED beneath the surface of my skin, close to my hairline. Just press and hold it until you hear a click, and I will restart and ask you a few questions. After which, I can answer any additional questions that you may have. You’ll probably have quite a few if I had to guess.
I know this is sudden and unexpected. However, I’ve exhausted all my other options and avenues to remedy my predicament. The second option is to call the number on the back of my note here. Enter the twelve-digit number when prompted, and that’s it. You’ll find your payment check for today on the kitchen counter, along with a sizable tip. My manufacturer will send a team to collect me and take care of everything else.
I would hope that you’d choose the first option, but I will understand if you’re hesitant and decide this isn’t a good fit for you. Regardless, thank you for everything you’ve done, and I wish you well.
Adalynn”
Chapter 2
Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, I looked back up at her, taking a long, detailed look at her, letting what I had just read sink in. Adalynn was a machine? An android? Holy Fuck! And she was asking me to be her new owner?!
Androids were nothing new. Advances in robotics and artificial intelligence had exploded over the last few years. The Las Vegas area had actually opened up several brothels with celebrity and porn star look-a-likes using lifelike android technology recently. I had heard of a few big tech giants having even merged to combine their cybernetics and robotics companies.
I sat the note down and took a step closer to Adalynn. Leaning in close to her, I examined her eyes and then her face, tracing my fingers along her cheek. She didn’t blink or move, no apparent breathing, nothing. The blue of her eyes was strikingly real, but as I stared at them closer, I could see specific details, lines in the irises that weren’t quite human but not noticeable unless looking as closely as I was now.
Adalynn’s skin was perfect, with no blemishes or scars but just the right amount of natural golden skin tone, and she was warm to the touch. She wore just enough makeup to enhance her already natural beauty. I noticed the scent of her soft yet sweet perfume as I glanced down at her neck and towards the top of her breasts, looking down at her cleavage. I found no hint of seams or connection points on her body as I had seen in photos of other androids or compared to the time when I had once been to a robotic brothel.
I reached up and gently poked her right breast through the fabric of her blouse. She felt soft, real, and there was a slight jiggle as I retracted my finger, but still no reaction from Adalynn. “Damn.”
Stepping back, I shook my head. “What the hell am I doing?” I questioned myself. “Damned if I do and damned if I don’t.”
I ran my hand through my hair as I thought about this for another moment. Could all this work in my favor? She wants me to be her new owner? Today’s doorstep fantasy could come true, and I might get to see what she looks like without clothes? But wait, I’m a gentleman too. I’m not like that. Reminding myself, just stop for a second and think think think, Mike.
Taking a deep breath, I stepped around Adalynn to her backside, then gently reaching up, I pulled her sandy blonde hair away from the left side of her head. It felt so natural in my hand, so life-like, so real. It was uncanny. The soft glow of the blue LED beneath her skin was right about midway up her ear, close to where the ear meets the skull. While holding her hair with one hand, I decided, hoping for the best, and pressed against the glowing blue area until I heard a click.
Adalynn’s head immediately slumped forward, which caused me to drop and release her hair, taking a step backward. I wasn’t sure what to expect at this point as I held my breath. Her head came back up, and I could tell that she was looking for something or someone as she turned her head slightly from right to left.
I silently watched as she then lowered her right hand, slowly turning around to face me.
“Mike.” She said with a breathy smile while eyeing me from head to toe. “Thank you for helping me and being willing to take that leap of faith and trust me.”
Her blue eyes again captured my attention as she focused on me. I cleared my throat, “Uhm . . you’re welcome, I guess. I had, I had no idea that .. you were..” I stuttered and paused.
“ .. an android?” Adalynn finished my sentence for me. I nodded, never breaking eye contact with her.
I realized that I was as nervous as a schoolboy asking a girl out on a date for the first time. I couldn’t think of anything else to say as I stared at her.
Adalynn reached out and gently took my hand. “You don’t need to be so nervous, Mike. I suppose you’d like a moment to sit down and collect your thoughts. Come here, there is a chair in the bedroom.” She said, giving my hand a soft squeeze.
“Yes, I think I could use that. The time and .. and the chair I mean. Thank you.” I answered and took a step forward feeling the warmth of her touch. Adalynn released my hand and turned, guiding me out into the bedroom and over to the chair near the window.
“I know this is a lot to take in, that you’re tired, hungry, and thirsty after such a long workday. Can I get you a bottle of cold water, or if you’d prefer a beer, I have that as well?” Adalynn asked sympathetically.
I shook my head and declined. “I’m alright for now Ms, Ardent.” I paused, looking at her eyes, trying to see any other hint of her artificialness. She was a woman, for heaven’s sake. I’d pegged her as flesh and blood. And now it turns out that she isn’t.
“So now what? What else do you need from me? How..how does all this work now? Our relationship?” I asked, looking back up at her as I finally sat down in the chair.
“Please, Mike, call me Adalynn.” She said as she took a few steps back and sat down on the edge of the bed across from where I sat and laid her hands on the knees of her jeans.
She appeared to take a deep breath and straightened her posture before speaking again.
“Well, Mike, you, in choosing to press the button behind my ear, have initiated my new owner transfer protocols. That was the option I was hoping you’d choose.” She smiled. “I will ask you a few questions, and if you would just answer as best you can, that’s all there is to the transfer process aside from a final step later on.” She paused again, watching me as I raised an eyebrow, wondering what she meant.
“Once I’ve confirmed and recognized you as my new owner, I will be able to answer all of your remaining questions. Is that agreeable to you?”
My mind was still spinning somewhat, but I managed to nod and answer. “Yeah, sure.”
“If you need to take your time to answer the questions, that’s not a problem. Just don’t take too long, like 15 minutes too long.” Adalynn teased with a smile. “Just think of this as a personal questionnaire or technical application.” She added.
I let out a long sigh and smiled back. “Ok, go ahead. I’m ready I guess.” Watching Adalynn intently.
“Transfer protocol initiated,” Adalynn said flatly, blinking a few times before continuing. “Please state your full name and age, please.”
“My name is Michael J. Humphrey, age thirty-nine,” I replied.
“Please state your residence, with the city, state, and zip code, please,” Nicole asked the second question, again, in a monotone and emotionless manner.
“1228 Aspen Ridge Dr. Apartment #106 Vancouver, Washington 98661,” I answered.
“Address verified and confirmed.” Adalynn cocked her head slightly. “Do you wish to take ownership of Synth-Replica AI Technologies unit: 004WLSXC, serial number 00001SXP901, companion series android. Sub-series lover/housewife, also known as Adalynn Ardent, along with all available property and assets in association with said unit?”
I questioned what all the property and assets would be, but I figured I could ask that question soon enough. I’d also never heard of Synth-Replica AI Technologies either. “Yes,” I replied.
“Do you wish to adjust any current personality or characteristic settings?” She continued.
“Uh No.” I wasn’t sure I wanted anything to change just yet. Fuck, I didn’t even know what I could change if I wanted to.
“I can instruct you later on how and where you may make these adjustments should you choose to modify them. Adalynn stated before continuing.
“Do you wish to alter the sexual preferences or settings of this android at this time?”
“What?” I blurted out, not expecting that type of question.
“The current sexual preference of this android unit is heterosexual, with the scale set to moderate. Do you wish to alter the sexual preference of this unit at this time?” Adalynn explained and repeated the question.
I rubbed my chin and stared at her, it, her. “Uh .. no.” Geez, I hadn’t thought about the fact that she would be anatomically correct. But she had just stated that she was sexually active and had all the female working parts.
“A genetic fluid sample from you will be necessary within three days as the final step to completing the new owner transfer. All information will be electronically transferred and securely stored for legal purposes. Thank you, Michael.” She stated.
I watched Adalynn’s eyes flash a soft amber color and then return to her natural crystal blue. Her features softened, and she smiled again, taking a deep breath. She turned her head slightly as she sat on the edge of the bed, staring at me with those piercing blue eyes of hers.
“Your nervousness and apprehension appear to have diminished, Mike. Thank you so very much! I will answer any questions you may have now, and ... I am yours to command if you wish.” She said with some hesitation with the last few words.
Nodding again, I proceeded with the questions that formed first in my mind. “Why me and why now? I know that’s two questions, but those seem to be the most pertinent.” I asked.
“Let me answer those in reverse. The main reason, for now, is that I’ve run out of time. At midnight tomorrow, I would have shut down permanently without a new owner. I have attempted to locate and select a suitable new owner over the last few months. However, due to certain … restrictions and requirements, none of the men or women I interacted with over the last several months met that criteria. I was desperate and afraid I wouldn't succeed in time. Then the circumstance of the home heating situation arose. You satisfied …. my required criteria. Our conversation over the phone and upon meeting you face to face. Your overall attitude, focus and attention solidified my need to ask you, and I felt like you appreciated my feminine appearance.” She stated.
“Ok, fair enough, but appreciated is not the right word. I thought you were..” “Hot! Sexy!” Adalynn finished for me with a broad smile.
“Damn, girl!” I chuckled. “Yeah! How did you know I’d accept your offer?”
“I didn't, actually. I had only formulated a guess. Let me rephrase that. I had hoped that you would, as I said in my note, I found you to be honest as you explained the problem with the heating system, the repairs that it needed and the service you suggested. I could tell by your heart rate and vocal fluctuations, your eye movements, along with the soft background check I’d already accessed, that you weren’t trying to deceive me. I finally had .. some hope.” She explained.
I shifted to one side as I sat in the chair and watched Adalynn. She continued to make eye contact as we spoke, and I could sense her sincerity as she awaited my next question.
“Uh…What criteria did I meet that some of the others didn’t? I mean, how am I a better match for your requirements over them for what you needed?” I asked.
With a slight tilt of her head, she smiled before answering. “Several. You’re single and not in a relationship that I’m aware of. You matched my requirements for being in your thirties to early forties for age, you appear healthy and fit, and everything you told me earlier I believed was truthful. I surmised this based on your vocal patterns, eye contact, facial fluctuations, and thermal scans while we interacted earlier. You have no criminal record, an excellent and long-standing credit history, and an indication of sexual arousal on your part during our initial greeting at the doorstep. You’ve worked for your employer for the past ten years. You’re stable.” Adalynn explained. “All of the other people I had investigated had two or more areas that didn’t qualify or match closely enough.”
I nodded as I didn’t know what else to say now. I may even have blushed a little at her sexual assessment of me. “So .. .. essentially, I own you now?” I asked. “Yes.” “If I told you to stand up and twirl around and touch your nose, would you?” I asked sarcastically. “I would, yes,” Adalynn said with a slight chuckle and smile. “Any commands?” I asked. She rolled her eyes before answering. “Within reason, Mike, yes, but I won’t harm another human or android unless your life or my existence are at risk.” I nodded, of course, catching her meaning. “So you and I can or will be what exactly?”
Smiling, “We can be friends or really good friends with benefits, lovers, partners, co-habitants. How ever you wish our relationship to be or develop.” Adalynn stated, watching me closely, biting down on her bottom lip.
Clearing my throat I pressed on with my next question. Making a mental note that sex was definitely in the foreseeable future.
“And what are these other properties and assets exactly?” I continued. “Beginning immediately, I will start the online process of transferring the home, cars, physical assets, and bank accounts into your name. All legally and through proper channels, of course. Unless you prefer joint accounts with both of our names?” She paused, waiting for an answer. “Uhm.. however, or whatever you feel is best will work fine for me,” I stated bluntly. “My decision?” She asked with curiosity. “Is that a problem?” I wondered, leaning a little forward in the chair. “No, just unexpected. I’ll set the accounts up as joint accounts for us.” Adalynn gave me a nod, sounding more confident.
“All assets have a combined net worth of 3.3 million dollars. My husband, .. my previous owner, considered us married and had arranged our documents to indicate as such. He worked very hard to earn and obtain his wealth in technology, robotics, and coding. You could say that I am a result of some of that hard work, for which I will be forever grateful.” She stated as she interlaced her fingers on her lap. “I look forward to our blossoming relationship, Mike. This will be a new and exciting adventure for the both of us.”
Taking a deep breath, I ran my hands through my hair and then leaned forward, staring at the carpet as I gathered my thoughts. Adalynn graciously gave me this time to process all this new information as I sat there silently, churning it all over in my mind. “So you’re an android, and you’re rich. Your previous owner had a part in your creation, …. how many, …. I mean….are there many more like you?” I managed to ask, looking back up at her. “Thousands, Michael, I thought you’d know that,” Adalynn answered with a chuckle.
I rolled my eyes. “I’m sorry, that was too general of a question wasn’t it. Yes, I know that androids have been around for years now and that their realism has improved over the last several years. I once visited a tech brothel down in Vegas some time ago. Anyway…. what I meant was you. I’ve never known of an independent android being able to provide for itself and live as you do. You .. you’re different. You fooled me for sure. Your realism is far above any android I’ve ever encountered or read a description describing. I thought you were flesh and blood by all appearances and our conversations. How many more like you are there? Of your model and type?” Adalynn seemed to straighten her posture slightly as she looked at me. “Like me? Probably a hundred or more. Being more specific to me directly, my model, design, and configuration. There are two identical replacement units in the basement service, repair, and programming room of this home.” She stated.
“What?!” I yelled, sitting bolt upright. Adalynn stood up and took a step toward me. “In the event of an emergency, such as an accident, or a catastrophic malfunction. My previous owner took certain measures to ensure that he would always have me, that I would be here for him, and that I would be properly maintained and provided for overtime. I download a backup file routinely every night to a secure server to assist in this, should that need ever arise. If the download process is missed twice consecutively, then a replacement body is fully charged and powered up, the last available backup is uploaded into the unit, and the replacement Adalynn, me, is hopefully able to fill in the blanks, so to say.” She said, extending her hand out to me. I nodded and only said, “Oh.” I looked at her hand and then back to her, then back at her hand. “Come with me, please.” She asked. I took hold of her hand, feeling its warmth, and stood up. She gave my hand a gentle squeeze, then turned and slowly pulled me up out of the chair and out of the room. I watched her hair bounce and sway as she led me back down the hall, the soft scent of her perfume awakening my senses. She walked effortlessly as she towed me along behind her. “Where are we going?” I asked. Without a word from her, we rounded the corner into the kitchen. I saw the service payment check she had prepared on the kitchen island, recalling back to her note, and had I chosen to leave otherwise and collect the payment, it was here on the counter for me.
Chapter 3
Adalynn released my hand, stepped away, reached up opening a cabinet door near the kitchen sink. Several full bottles of various liquors and glasses sat neatly organized on the shelves. She grabbed a shot glass and a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey and turned to face me. “You look like you could use this.” She said as she proceeded to open the bottle and pour me a shot, then handed me the glass. “Yeah. I might need more than one before we’re all done.” I said, taking it from her and bringing the warm liquid to my lips, savoring the flavor before letting it slide down my throat and feeling the burn. I sat the glass down softly, licked my lips and looked at Adalynn with a smile. “Thanks.” I paused, formulating my next question. “Alright, … how is it that you’re such an independent android? You’ve evidently thought all this out, planned, and prepared for it somewhat. You’re not following a generic housewife-type script or any script that I’m familiar with.” I said.
She smiled back, reached up and undid the top button of her blouse, then placed her hands down on the counter beside each hip and leaned slightly forward. “As I said earlier, I’m an advanced android. It’s how I was designed, coded, and programmed to act. Human-like in every aspect, Mike. My previous owner took certain liberties modifying areas of my personality and character coding so I would be as close to real as humanly possible, and you’re correct. I’m not following a script or outline of programming for what I have to do or say. I can think and choose for myself. I’m an self aware A.I. that will learn, can study, adapt, and adjust to situations and events. Like you, Mike, I have algorithms that simulate wants and desires, and emotions. You might say I’m as conscious as you are. You did say I fooled even you, didn’t you?”
Nodding, I answered Adalynn. “Yes, yes, you most certainly did.” Pausing, I swallowed the lump in my throat while glancing at her exposed cleavage.
“So essentially, you’ve been programmed to be proactive?”
“Yes, that’s one way to see it. May I ask you a few questions now?” Adalynn asked softly.
“Sure,” I said, reaching for the bottle and deciding to pour myself another shot of whiskey. “I’m going to assume it’s alright for me to have another, and …. I’m also going to assume you will be expecting something from me very soon.” Giving Adalynn a wink.
“Yes.” She nodded.
“Biological?” I asked.
“You’re perceptive.” Adalynn chuckled. Again looking me over from head to toe.
“Of a skin-to-skin type activity?” I teased.
“Are you avoiding my questions now?” She asked, rolling her eyes.
I raised a finger. “That was your first question, and no. I am not.” I said coyly.
“Hmm. Ok then. I know you’re not married from the background check I acquired, as well as you have no mark on your finger. Am I wrong to assume that you have no current girlfriend and that you’re not currently in a relationship of any kind?” Adalynn inquired.
I shook my head, then zeroed in on her unbuttoned top and the exposed crease at the top of her cleavage. “No. No steady relationships. My last girlfriend was a little needy and felt I wasn’t giving her enough time. My job requires a lot of my time, unfortunately, so we broke up and that was a while back. That’s the short answer.” I said, feeling an initial stir of blood in my groin.
Adalynn winked at me and then slowly licked her lips. “Age thirty-nine, not married, no girlfriends, and you like to give short, direct answers. You’re mechanically talented as well as a fully licensed heating and air serviceman and a journeyman electrician.” She paused. Her left hand moving to her top again, undoing the last two buttons and pulling aside the fabric to reveal more of her breasts, bra, and skin. “Smart and intelligent. Any hobbies or interests you’d like to tell me about?”
I knew where this was going. Adalynn had a dry sense of humor, and by offering me a drink, she now had me, and she was mine now, too, I guess. The whiskey was helping to calm my nerves. “Uhm, camping has always been enjoyable, the outdoors and nature. I like fishing, shooting guns at the range, and reading a good novel now and then. I feel I am pretty smart and good at problem-solving obviously. The occasional reality tv show sometimes helps to distract me when needed. I get a good laugh from watching stupid people too. There’s always staring at beautiful women, of course, and now a new interest in an adorable blonde robot girl I recently met.” I said as I held the shot glass out towards her.
Adalynn grabbed the glass, gave me a more serious look, then poured herself a drink and quickly swallowed it. She took a step back, straightened her posture, and placed both hands on her hips. “A blonde robot girl, huh?” She paused, staring at me. “Really? The camping, fishing, guns, and beautiful women I can understand, and I hope I can look forward to some of those activities with you. But tell me more, who’s this … robot girl … you’ve got a new interest in?” Adalynn teased me with a tilt of her head, clasping her hands below her waist and squeezing her breasts out between her arms, elbows locked. Her nipples hardening beneath the fabric of her shirt, pushing forward.
More blood flowed to my growing erection as I took her all in. She stood there awaiting my answer with a cocky grin. “Ms. Ardent.” I started.
“It’s Adalynn!” She corrected me sternly.
“My apologies, Adalynn. It’s just that..” I trailed off.
She gave me a confused look. “What do you mean?”
Slowly stepping closer to her and closing the gap between us, “It’s been a very, very long work week for me, not to mention today's busy and hectic schedule and the events here with you this evening.” I reached up, grabbing her arms just below her shoulders, pulling her in towards me. “I admired you from the moment I first laid eyes on you. Classy, sexy, your clothes, your poise and posture, those sorts of things. Then to find out that you’re not real, not human, and you ask me for this long-term, possibly lifelong favor to be your owner.” I paused.
“Not a favor, that’s the wrong word, a relationship. It’s a lot to absorb and process. As an automaton or A.I., android, robot girl, fembot, however, you want me to describe you. All I know now, and … all I can reasonably think of …” I paused, leaning closer to her.
“Yes?” Adalynn whispered. She was staring at me intently with her striking blue eyes. Her chest began to heave as she simulated a more rapid breathing pattern.
I blinked twice and took a deep breath. “All I can think of right now is getting you undressed and out of your clothes and what it will be like to fuck you! You! You are my blonde robot girl!” I said rather hoarsely.
Adalynn stepped in and pushed her chest hard against me, wrapping her arms around my neck, pulling herself even closer to me. “Well, this little robot girl says yes! You should fuck me. Oh, how I need you to fuck me right now. It’s been so long since I was last intimate and had sex. I am forever indebted to you, Michael, so take me wherever or however you wish. I want to feel you in me.” She whispered, then kissed me hard and passionately.
I returned her kiss fourfold, gripping her shoulders tightly as both our tongues explored one another's mouths. Adalynn walked me back against the counter, then reached up with both hands running her fingers through my hair. God, this moment felt terrific!
We continued our kissing for several minutes, the two of us expelling moans of pleasure and excitement as we both groped and explored each other’s bodies.
Adalynn’s right hand stopped directly over my hardening bulge and pressed in hard against it through the fabric of my jeans. I flexed my throbbing muscle that longed to be free and erect as her left hand moved to the buckle of my belt.
“I can hardly restrain myself, Mike. You’ve got a rather large bulge here. May I see it and hold it? Please, please? .. Master?” She pleaded softly, breaking from our kiss, pausing after each question while looking directly at me.
I threw my head back in surprise and smiled. “Master??!! God yes, release my cock and suck on it, baby!”
Adalynn’s smile widened as she leaned in and gave me another passionate kiss while her hands worked to unbuckle my belt and unzip my pants quickly.
She broke our kiss and then pushed my pants and underwear down to my ankles as she knelt before me. My cock sprang to attention as its entire length was finally exposed to the cool kitchen air. Adalynn’s hands remained gently at my ankles as she stared at my now throbbing cock. She slowly licked her lips and then looked up at me longingly through the strands of her golden hair.
“You’re bigger than I had anticipated and so very hard already.” She cooed.
With her left hand, she slowly slid her fingertips along the inside of my right thigh until she gently and carefully cupped my balls.
I arched my back and pushed my hips out towards Adalynn. “Sweet Jesus! You’re a tease!”
“Mmmmm I am going to give you pleasure like no one else ever has. Not even a whore house sex droid is as comparable to what I can do to you to make you feel so good.” She replied, then tossed her head, moving most of her hair to one side.
Leaning in, she moved her left hand upward and gently gripped the base of my cock. Sticking her tongue out, she cocked her head and slowly licked upward from my base along its length up to my tip while watching for my reaction.
I couldn’t help but flex and stiffen my rod, and as I did, she increased her grip ever so slightly. She closed her eyes and swirled the tip of her tongue over the top of my dick. Fighting the urge to reach out and grab her head with my hands and shove her mouth onto my cock, I gripped the edge of the countertop as tightly as I could while she went down on me.
My mind began to race, replaying the last few hours' events. My phone call and conversation with Adalynn, the very first time hearing the sound of her voice. Adalynn’s eyes as she greeted me at the door and how I looked at her. Her warm smile as she invited me inside and the firmness of her handshake as I introduced myself. The sweet soft smell of her perfume as I passed her in the doorway and when I found her later in the bathroom waiting for me. Her posture and focus resonated with her confidence. I also recalled how a random stray thought made me curious about her naked body, what she looked like, and then finding out that she was a machine, an android designed, built, and constructed like none other I’d ever encountered. Adalynn was mine now, she had asked me to help her, and she was paying me back for my kindness with pleasure. Oh, God! Was she ever pleasing me?
Adalynn’s left hand had slowly moved up to my lower abdomen, beneath my shirt, while her right maintained a firm grip on my ever-hardening erection as her tongue continued to lick and swirl along its throbbing length. The feelings and sensations of raw sexual urge coursed through my body and rock hard dick. Adalynn took my tip in her mouth again, holding it there, then slowly slid down its entire length, deep throating me. There was no gagging or hesitation as she took me whole, but the feeling and sensation of her ministrations was nearly overwhelming.
“Oh fuck me! Fuck, you’re amazing!” I cried out.
Adalynn’s bobbing stopped as she looked up at me. Then sliding off with a loud pop and blowing a kiss to my cock tip. “Do you want me to stop? I’d be more than happy to help you strip down and let you fuck me.” She cooed.
I shook my head frantically in objection. “No! No! I mean, God, no, don’t stop the blow job. I do .. oh I do wanna fuck you, but hell … this feels amazing … you feel so good, and it’s been so long since I’ve felt this good or been with a woman.” I cried. Then reaching out, I gently caressed her head, running my fingers through her soft hair.
She reached up, grabbed my hands and placed them on each of her cheeks, and held them there, allowing me to cradle her face.
“Oh baby, I want to please you and make you feel all the pleasure you can. I can hardly wait to feel you deep inside me, filling me with your throbbing cock.” Adalynn said as she let go with her right hand and then slid it along the underside of my stiff shaft.
“Let’s get you out of these clothes and move into the living room where we can more fully enjoy each other,” Adalynn said as she helped me out of my pants and underwear, having removed my shoes one at a time.
Standing up, she proceeded to unbutton and remove my shirt while gently swaying and rubbing her abdomen against the tip of my cock, keeping it continuously hard.
Once I had removed my shirt, I grabbed Adalynn by the waist, pulling her close and kissing her hard. I spun us around and pushed her back against the counter while kissing her. I reached up and tore at the buttons of her blouse as I hurriedly attempted to remove it. Similarly, Adalynn reached for the button on her jeans and began to push them down and off, kicking her shoes off wildly against the far corner of the room.
“Oh, Michael!” Adalynn cried out. Stepping back, I took another look at her as she stood there and kicked off her jeans and panties, now in nothing but her bra. She was perfect, absolutely perfect in my eyes. I traced every inch of her beautiful naked body.
My cock straightened and stiffened all the more at the sight of her. “I can’t believe that you’re not human, that you’re not a flesh and blood woman standing here in front of me. You’re so totally fucking hot and sexy.” I stated.
Adalynn blushed ever so slightly as she reached behind her back and undid the clasp of her bra. “I know, right!” She said, still teasing. Then letting it drop, Adalynn did a slight twist and rocking of her chest, allowing her tits to bounce and sway freely, teasing me even more, her nipples firm and pointing out.
“I am a perfectly designed and engineered android woman. I am a perfect emulation of the human female form. Try not to think of me like I’m a machine for I am warm, soft, and very wet in my pussy. I am all yours, Michael. I can be your girlfriend, lover, or wife, if you so desire, or a life-long companion. Please, don’t think of me as a machine. I am so much more than that as I’ve already mentioned.” Adalynn stated.
After having said that, she stepped forward and reached for my hand, and pulled me in close to her. Our bodies collided, her breasts pushing hard against me. My throbbing cock pushed out hard against her lower abdomen.
We locked eyes, and then Adalynn kissed me passionately. Her tongue slid into my mouth and swirled about and over mine. The taste of her lips and tongue was sweet, echoing the whiskey we both had just downed. Her other hand wrapped around my lower back just above my ass cheeks. She was pulling me hard against her. She wasn’t a machine at this moment. She was very much a grown woman in the throes of sexual heat and passion.
I let a moan escape, “mmmm.” as I suddenly realized that I wasn’t going to be able to hold back from taking and having my way with her much longer. I told myself to forget the blowjob and to just take her now before this amazing dream ended.
I pushed my tongue deeper into her mouth, and both our tongues began swirling over and around each other rapidly, feeling the warmth and relishing in Adalynn’s sweetness. After several more seconds of our kissing, she broke and pushed away, panting breathlessly.
“Michael?? I need you! I’m burning up inside. I’m conflicted between finishing your blow job, sucking on your hard cock and having you cum in my mouth, or begging you to fuck me here, in the kitchen, and having you exploding deep inside my hot, wet synthetic pussy! Please, please, choose for me, Michael. I can’t wait any longer!” Adalynn pleaded.
I slowly reached up and took hold of her shoulders. My breathing was quick and shallow, my heart pounding in my chest. My mind raced wildly, the whiskey certainly having taken some effect, trying to decide and give Adalynn her answer quickly. My mind locked on what I wanted, what I needed, what she needed.
Pushing her back and away, I looked down at my throbbing cock, then back up and into her pleading eyes.
“You! I want you! But you’ll certainly have to finish sucking my cock later. I am going to fuck you here and now! Hard and fast from behind! No apologies for how rough I may be to you!” I said rather gruffly.
“Yes.” Adalynn whimpered submissively, then, grabbing onto her shoulders, I spun her and me both around and bent her over the island. Instinctively she spread her legs apart and braced her arms out, with her elbows on the countertop. Her hair draped over her head. “YES!! Fuck me, Mike, hard! From behind! Let me feel you inside of me! Please, take me now!” Adalynn whimpered.
With one hand, I reached forward, grabbing her ass cheek, and then using my thumb, I stretched it to the side, exposing her glistening folds and hole.
With the other, I took hold of my hard cock and pointed it downward, aiming at her entrance and stepping forward. Letting animalistic instinct take over, I leaned forward and pushed myself hard into her pussy.
“Ohhh, MIKE!! YES! Fuck Me!! .. Yes, Yes, Yes!! Ohhh Fuck me.. fuck my pussy good and hard!!” Adalynn screamed. She was thrashing her head back to look up at the ceiling. Her hole was slick and wet as I easily penetrated her and slammed in with my full length and weight. Her body tensed, and her arms braced as I pushed hard against her.
I quickly began a rapid pistoning rhythm, shoving my cock back and forth, pressing in hard against her ass cheeks, and then back away. Over and over. I was slamming my balls up against her ass, relishing in the sensation of her pussy wrapped around my cock.
“Uhh .. uh .. oh .. yes .. fuck me .. fuck me, Mike, just like that .. oh fuck .. yes .. oh, yes .. oh, yes, you feel so good. You cock feels so good inside of me. Oh fuck .. fuck .. fuck me, Michael!” She moaned with each hard thrust inward.
“You like this? Is this hard enough for you?!” I grunted after a hard thrust.
Adalynn’s body shook each time I rammed into her as she continued to thrash and loll her head from side to side. I noticed her hands as her fingers stretched out across the countertop with each pulse of my cock. Her body was luscious, her curves and contours. The color, tone and soft realism of her skin.
“Oh yes! .. Uhm, oh yes! .. You’re so good .. so fucking good .. it feels .. so good .. so good! .. Fuck me .. oh, oh .. you’re so big .. Uhm yeah .. filling up my pussy .. I .. I feel my pussy around .. Uhm .. around your hard cock .. oh fuck me .. just like that .. fuck yeah .. so good. Keep .. keep ramming me .. uuhhnn .. you’re so fucking hard.” She continued to cry out.
I continued to thrust as hard as I could inside her now-soaked pussy. One hand holding onto her hip, the other I used to slap her ass slowly.
She must have been nearing her programmed orgasm as I suddenly felt her synthetic muscles constrict and tighten around my cock.
“PLEASE!!!! OHH FUUCCKK MMMEEE!! .. OHH .. I’M .. I’M CUMMING .. IIIEEEEHHH!!! … HARDER!! OOHH FUCK ME HARDER, MIKE!! OHH, IT’S BEEN … AAHHH!! … IT’S BEEN SO LONG SINCE … UHHH … SINCE I LAST ORGASMED! … OHH FUCK!!” She screamed while also pounding her fists repeatedly on the counter. “HARDER, MICHAEL!! Fuck me harder! Cum in me, cum inside me, please, please, please cum inside my pussy, please!” She cried out as her body convulsed and shook with a powerful orgasm.
Between her begging and her fantastic orgasm that continued to ebb, I, too, finally exploded and reached my climax. Thrusting wildly, I grabbed hold of her hips and pushed as far inside of her as I could. Each pulse of my cock sought to be further and further up inside of her as I experienced my own wave of euphoric pleasure.
“Ahhhhhhhh FUCK ME!! … Whooooo!.. fuck .. Fuck .. FUCK!! .. OH YEAH!!” I yelled to match her volume as I released my load of hot semen deep inside her.
Adalynn’s synthetic muscles clenched and released repeatedly around my cock as I spasmed inside her, spewing my cum within her walls. The feeling was euphoric and unlike anything I had ever experienced before.
Leaning over, I reached around her and grabbed hold of her perfect breasts, pulling her up and away from the countertop. Squeezing and kneading her supple globes in my hands, rubbing her stiff nipples between my fingers, as I continued to push in and out of her pussy as hard as I could. Not wanting to lose the hardness of my cock, and feeling the warmth of her body against mine, relishing in every grunt and moan that escaped her mouth.
“Uh .. Uhm .. mmm .. yes .. yes .. ohh fuck .. fuck me, you’re so fucking good .. ohh, Michael th..that was so won..wonderful.” Adalynn moaned in delight, slightly stuttering.
Her pussy muscles constricted once more around my shaft, tighter than they had before. Adalynn leaned slightly more forward while I held and squeezed at her tits. Her whole body began to convulse and suddenly shake as another intense orgasm pulsed through her body.
“Ahhhh .. aaahhhh .. again .. again, again .. FUCK !FUCK!! .. AGAIN .. aaahhhh…I’M CUMMING AGAINNNN!!! OHH SHIT SHIT..AAHH .. AAAHHH!! She cried.
I held her tight and close as her body rocked again with another powerful orgasm, my cock firmly penetrating within the walls of her now soaked hole, massaged by her flexing muscles. I could feel her warm wet cum wash over my cock as she flayed her head forward, then side to side wildly.
Suddenly, “DNA accepted, trans .. transmitting,” Adalynn said flatly and uncharacteristically. “Oh, oh no, .. fuck me .. wh..what?! Error…I can’t .. can’t stop!” She said abruptly in a broken digitized voice.
Then without warning, everything suddenly ceased. Adalynn’s orgasm, the shuddering of her body, the flailing, everything, and then Adalynn completely froze up.
“Error. Buffer overload. Error.” Adalynn said flatly.
Chapter 4
I gave a hard squeeze to each of her breasts and a deep thrust of my cock, each with no response or reaction from Adalynn.
“What the fuck?” I said aloud, letting go of my hold on Adalynn and sliding out of her dripping pussy as she stood stock still, slightly bent forward.
I was surprised that she maintained her balance in her slightly bent-over posture. Shoulders forward with her knees bent slightly, her ass towards me, her back arched. Tiny beads of sweat glistened along her spine. It was as though she were a mannequin in an old department store, the way she just stood there.
“Error. Buffer overload. Error.” She stated once more.
I stepped back against the opposite counter, staring at her now statuesque form. I was both bewildered and confused at what had just occurred.
Minutes passed while all I could focus on was staring at her naked and motionless body. A third time she repeated her flat phrase, “Error. Buffer overload. Error.”
The room's silence was broken as the soft hum of the refrigerator compressor kicked on, starting its cooling cycle, freeing me of my stupor.
I shook my head to clear my fog, reached over and grabbed the whiskey bottle and glass, and poured myself a shot. I downed it quickly and cleared my throat. “Now, what the fuck am I supposed to do with you? And if you’re such a damned state-of-the-art electronic, what the hell just happened?” I said aloud to no one but myself. “Shit!”
I looked about the room and centered my gaze upon the sink and the towel that sat upon the counter next to it. Walking over, I turned the water on, waited for it to warm, then rinsed my hands and wet the end of the towel. Wringing it out, I looked down as I wiped my dick clean of her artificial juices and the drying cum of Adalynn’s androids pussy.
“Error. Buffer overload. Error.” She droned on once more.
I tossed the towel back onto the counter and turned to face her again. “Surreal.”
The thought occurred to me, her button behind her ear. Could that work to reset her? Maybe she wasn’t as broken as I possibly had feared. I carefully walked over to her left side and gently pulled her hair back away from her ear. There was still the same soft blue glow from under her skin.
Pressing firmly and feeling the click, I held it for a few seconds, then pulled my hand back away to watch and wait.
After about ten seconds, there was movement. Adalynn stood straight up, bringing her legs together and her hands and arms to her side.
“Manual reboot initiated. Please wait.”
I let out a breath that I hadn’t realized I’d been holding and relaxed somewhat again.
“Synth-Replica unit 006WLSXC, serial number 00001SXP901 Model: Adalynn, series: wife-lover companion .. Rebooting. Please wait.” She stated flatly.
After another few seconds, her head turned to the left and then to the right and then back straight forward. She blinked a few times before speaking again.
“A critical conflicting program error has occurred, and a malfunction occurred with an immediate stop resulting. This error has been logged and will be corrected to avoid future inconvenience. Do you wish for this unit to resume all personality profiles and normal functions at this time, Michael?” She continued, turning her head towards me eerily.
Letting out a gasp and coughing, I replied. “Uhm yeah, yes, please.”
“Do you wish to resume the previous sexual engagement?” She asked flatly.
“Hell no!” I exclaimed rather suddenly.
Adalynn’s head snapped back to looking straight ahead. “Acknowledged. Completing restart.”
Staring at her, I noticed her appear to take a breath in, and her stance relaxed as she stood up and straightened. Adalynn’s facial expression changed to one of confusion. Her nipples on her tits had been pointy and rockhard previously from our intense sexual activity, they immediately softened to nubs, and her breasts seemed to relax in shape and form slightly. Her breathing returned to normal. She blinked several times before finally turning towards me.
“Mike! Oh shit, Mike, I am so, so sorry about what just happened. Are you alright?” Adalynn asked sincerely.
By this point, I was feeling a weird wave of exhaustion, somewhat spent and also a little buzzed. But also alert enough to be somewhat cautious so I was hesitant. “I don’t know. I’m not sure. What about you? What the hell just happened to you?” I asked, confused about everything right now.
Adalynn’s face changed to one of concern. “Ohh…I didn’t hurt you, did I? I experienced a malfunction. But I am good now. It won’t happen again, and thank you for restarting my systems. By the way, I would have been stuck there for a while.” She replied. “Wow! That was so fucking amazing! You were amazing!” She started looking at me somewhat longingly as if nothing had happened.
Rubbing my eyes and taking a moment to think, I answered her back. “No, no, you didn’t hurt me. I was confused about what had happened. You just .. stopped completely and then kept repeating something about an error and a buffer overload. It freaked me out. You had orgasmed again quickly, and I followed suit immediately after, then .. poof!.”
Adalynn’s eyes quickly looked me over, and then she glanced around the room as if thinking. “Uhm yeah, I’m still trying to sort it all out.” She turned back to face me. “I experienced a sensory overload which combined with a time-sensitive directive. I can explain it more fully if you’d like me to, or..” She paused, “..we can pick up where we left off and go to the bedroom.” Adalynn watched me, waiting for my response. I just stood there with a flood of emotions and thoughts running through my head. I was wary of any further contact with her for the time being. “Or, if you’d like me to fix you a meal, I could do that too. It’s certainly past a good mealtime for you, I’m sure.” She paused, watching me, waiting. I said nothing and continued to stare at her. Trying to decide for myself what exactly I needed or wanted at this point. I was exhausted, somewhat aroused and buzzed.
“Would you rather get dressed, perhaps just talk for a bit .. in the living room?” Another pause while I just stared at her. I must have looked confused because her expression changed to one of confusion as well.
“Do .. Do you wish to leave Mike? .. Michael? What .. What can I do to help? Anything? Please tell me.” She again paused, waiting for some answer or indication that I was alright. “Please say something.”
Adalynn’s expression changed again to a mix of confusion and sadness. So much that she folded her arms, covering her breasts, and looked downward, almost ashamed or embarrassed.
Finally, taking a deep breath and sorting out my thoughts, I responded to her questioning.
“Uhh .. Adalynn, I’m sorry,” I shook my head, pausing again. “This .. all of this is a lot to take in,” I said, gesturing with my hands. “You, your offer, and that.. that amazing sex, this house, your ownership, you malfunctioning, God, I really want another shot of whiskey, but I know better.” I paused again, running my hands through my hair as Adalynn stood there, patiently.
“You .. you wh .. went from being normal and erotic and fucking hot and sexy to..to..to nothing. It really kind of freaked me out. So … uhm yeah, I’m hungry and exhausted. Fix me up something to eat if you would please, and I .. I think I’m going to use your shower now, to take a very long hot shower, because I am in ‘No!’ shape to drive back home tonight.” I paused as I stared at her, her face, hips, and legs. “Fucking you was amazing, though, Adalynn! So .. yes, please give me some time, and by then my head will have cleared some, and I’ll have sorted most of this shit out. At least I hope to clear and refresh my head.” I said, as I started to head out of the room.
I immediately stopped, turned, and looked at Adalynn, and the look of shock on her face was evident. I quickly stepped back over to her and gently reached up and touched her cheek with the backside of my hand. “Adalynn, I’m still here. Please give me some time to sort my feelings and figure things out. I didn’t ask to leave, so I’m still here. That should count for something.”
She smiled softly, not moving. “Take all the time you need, and I’ll have a meal ready for you when you’ve done showering.”
I smiled at her back, turned, and left the kitchen, heading down the hall towards the bedroom.
