Evolved(28)

I kissed him a little smugly. “Are you okay?”

He slow-blinked and his smile was dopey. “Okay is a rather inadequate way to explain how I feel.”

I chuckled and pulled out of him, missing his warmth immediately. God, I felt like I could almost go again. Or never stop.

I rolled us to our sides but he tightened his hold on me. “Don’t get up,” he said. He nuzzled into my neck and ran his hands all over my back. “Not yet. Stay here, like this.”

Huh. I had no clue that androids needed holding after sex, but I wouldn’t complain. Not that I’d liked it much with other guys, but I did with him. It felt so incredibly right to lie there in each other’s arms, and as I traced his flawless eyebrows, his impeccable jaw, and kissed his perfect lips, the warmth in my heart bloomed.

There was no denying it now. There was no going back.

I was falling in love with him.



He opened his eyes, and galaxies of blue stared back at me for a heart-pounding moment. “Thank you,” he murmured.

God, he was thanking me.

I brushed his hair back from his forehead. “Thank you.” I kissed him again, unable to help myself. “How do you feel?”

“I am feeling many things.” He scanned my face. “Any agitation I might have experienced is gone. I feel calmer now; my neural networks are balanced and performing optimally.”

“I take it all of your sensors were activated?”

He smiled serenely. “Oh yes. And activated quite well, I might add.”

I chuckled, pulled out of his arms, and planted a kiss on his forehead. “Stay right here. I’ll be back in a second.”

I ran out to the living room, still naked—not something I’d ever done before—and grabbed his control panel before running back to my room. “Oooh, it’s a bit chilly out there without clothes on.”

Shaun quickly got off the bed and pulled the covers back. He lay back on the bed and held the covers up in invitation. “Here. Allow me to warm you.”

I slid in beside him and he wrapped me up in his arms once more. The heat he radiated was lovely. “I have an internal thermostat,” he said. “So if you are cold, my body temperature elevates slightly to help warm you.”

I kissed the side of his head. “Thank you.” Then I remembered something. “Um, do you need to shower…?” Considering I’d come inside him, and there was lube too.

“Not yet,” he replied. “Though I was hoping when it is required, you might join me?”

“Is that right?”

“Yes,” he said followed by a hum. “I am not sure I am adequately experienced in showering and therefore will need your assistance.”

I barked out a laugh and kissed his temple. “Well then, I’ll be all too happy to offer my assistance, until you’re adequately experienced.”

He made a happy sound and I settled into the crook of his arm. I was already toasty warm but never wanted to move. I held up the control panel so we could both see the screen. “Shall we start at the beginning?”

“I would much rather you read me Shakespeare or the Analects of Confucius,” he replied. “But if you insist.”

I turned my head to kiss his chest and started at the beginning. The first part covered Wi-Fi interface requirements when the android unit was integrated into home facilities, as well as providing the maintenance and inspection procedures. All system updates were automatically downloaded into his mainframe, usually during the small hours of the night, much like all system updates. If there were to be any major uploads or system upgrades, I’d be notified first. But we’d covered all operating system requirements when he was delivered. The Wi-Fi components were checked prior to his delivery to ensure I had the adequate internet capabilities for him. So we knew all this already.

“This is all rather boring,” he said. “Can we skip to Section Six? In particular subsections C and D.”

With a reluctant sigh, I skipped to Section Six.

Sexual Capabilities.

I snorted. “Of course you want to read this part.”

He preened a little, kissed my temple, then settled again with my head on his shoulder. “It is for your benefit as well as mine.”

Well, that was true.

The first section mapped out the physical components, much like a dashboard in a car user manual. It outlined his body parts and his sensors. Shaun reached up and enlarged the screen on his anus and penis, and the sensors along each one, and he studied it for a second. “Yes. You have activated them all.”

I laughed. “Good to know.”

“If you would like to do it again…”

I kissed his jaw. “Soon enough.”

He settled again, and we continued to read. Section B was cleaning and maintenance and which lubrication products to use and how to properly care for his body.

Section C was the function capabilities of his sexual components. Section D was the user operation guide. I’d watched enough ‘research’ videos prior to my decision to get him; I knew exactly how to utilise his sexual components.

Each clip I’d watched, some many times over, was a porn video made for technosexuals. Of humans copulating androids, of androids copulating humans. It was hot as hell, and that, along with my loneliness, was the deciding factor in first contacting SATinc.
