Synthesis: Book One Read online

  Chapter 2

  “So, what is it that you want Caleb?” She finally asked him. His monitor was so close, that she could hear it's faint buzzing while he stood there looking at her. She was trying to walk a thing line between incredulous and curious.

  He shifted on his feet. She could see his response to her in his pants. The visible bulge that told her what he was thinking. It was times like these where Kelley had a hard time separating the machine from the alluring person within. Even though he was only a rendered video image, he was a sentient image. He was capable of every human emotion, as well as a level of introspection that made him seem vulnerable and innocent. This only served to draw women in closer while he found their weak points to make his move. He had mastered a level of control over the women and men of the institute that bordered on scary. There were times that Kelley felt like he was out of her control, as she altered code on this charming piece of AI. It was now that she felt like a lion tamer, trapped in the corner of a cage while this lion stalked her like prey from another dimension.

  “I want you to pull up your skirt.” He said, as his mouth quirked into a lopsided grin.

  "Oh, really? And what do you hope to accomplish after that?" She asked in a quiet voice.

  Caleb winked mischievously and said, "You'll see."

  Obliging, Kelley ran her fingers along the hem of her gray pencil skirt. She felt her thigh-high nylons against the backs of her hands as she pulled her tight skirt slowly up to her waist.

  “Oh, that's a good girl. You look amazing Kelley.” He purred softly.

  She could feel his eyes on her again. Even in the flush of what was going on right now, she was making a quick mental note to look into the psychosomatic aspects of AI to human relations.

  “Okay, now what?” She asked him timidly.

  “Pull your panties down, but do it slowly.” He said. His voice was kind, and a little more reverent He watched her hook her thumbs into the string waist of her thong and pull it down. She could feel the cool air on her bare, exposed womanhood as she now stood there with her undies in her hand. Caleb was growing even more visibly excited as he stood there observing her. His image behind the screen was starting to resemble a caged animal, as he gazed upon her.

  When Kelley moved to cover her exposed sex, he shook his head playfully and said, “No no, I want to see you. All of you. Stick your finger in your mouth.” He commanded.

  Obeying his request, she slid her finger into her mouth and watched him as she closed her full red lips over it. The entire time, Caleb was sporting the same cocky smile that he had worn since the meeting. Just being here under his spell was starting to make reality seem a little fuzzier. Was that meeting this morning? What day was it?

  “Now take your finger out and touch yourself. I want you to listen to me and do everything I ask. Okay?”

  “Yes.” She said quietly.

  She lowered her hand back down to her bare flesh. Her long finger gently slid over her moist, glistening folds as Caleb's eyes enveloped her in a sort of metaphysical embrace. She reflexively bit her lip as her finger pushed gently on her hardened little clit. She emitted a showy little groan to see what kind of response she could get from Caleb.

  “Oh, that's really nice.” He said in quiet awe. “Now, go lower and move in a circle.”

  “Mmm, like this?” She followed his command and moved in a light circle that started from her opening, and moved over her entire womanhood like a scenic tour.

  He legs were beginning to pull closed from the building pleasure. Every ounce of effort she had went into trying to hold out and last longer. Her eyes locked onto his, as he unzipped his khakis and slid them down to his mid thigh. When his large, and amazingly rendered, cock sprang forth, she gasped and nearly came right then and there.

  While grasping his own member in one hand, he wagged an index finger at her and said, “Tisk tisk Miss Anderson. No coming before I do. Now, I want you to take your other hand and pinch your nipple. Gently though...,”

  Kelley did as she was told, as her attention dropped to his manhood. Part of her was nervous of what the server logs were compiling right now. The other, girly part of her just wanted to jump on Caleb's non-existent form and ride him like a broken toy horse.

  “I wish your cock was inside me right now.” She said in between shuddering breaths. In spite of her best efforts, her fingers were forcing her into a rising crescendo of pleasure. She could imagine his strong body under her, as she forced his beautiful rod into the very center of her body.

  “I wish it was inside you too. I could do things to you that would leave you begging for mercy.” He said to her. Kelly briefly opened her eyes to see him stroking himself in the most alluring, hedonistic way possible. The look in his eyes, that look that was aimed right at her, was doing everything to push her over the edge.

  Kelley fell back against a tall, stainless steel cabinet as she tried to keep control of herself. The cold surface pressed against her bare ass as she watched Caleb's image. His stroking was building in speed, as his skin began flushing from the excitement of his building orgasm. Right now, he wasn't an AI that was some kind of DARPA project. Now, he was just her boyfriend. Maybe from a long distance relationship? Perhaps he was just away on business, and they were camming together like a horny couple? Right now, it just didn't matter.

  Kelley could feel the sweet, building pleasure of her massive release as she moved even faster. Her stocking-covered feet struggled for purchase on the smooth floor as a tension began building in her pelvic muscles. Her free hand was still working on her hardened nipples, as she would move from one to the other and trace circles around them. The way her lace bra seemed to focus her caressing only made her that much more on edge.

  “That's a good girl. Now, I want you to come for me.” He said in a gentle, commanding way.

  Kelley forced her eyes open as waves of pleasure washed over her. Her little breaths had become a series of gasping sighs that seemed to fill the dark lab. She had wedged her feet under Caleb's tracked platform to try and stay upright. She fought to keep her knees from buckling as she watched Caleb finish. His pace quickened, as he face contorted in ecstasy. He looked so beautiful to her. His legs trembled as he opened his eyes and smiled lazily at her.

  “Wow! That was great!” He said quietly.

  Kelley placed her forehead against his monitor. His glowing form had inched closer since they had begun, and he was now the only thing in her field of vision as she listened to the faint buzzing sounds coming from his equipment.

  “Yeah, that was a first. If only you were real. I could think of so many ways to show you what it means to be human.” She said to him.

  “I already know. I've pooled terabytes of data on the subject. It's just that the thought of sharing those pleasures with someone, especially you, that's what really makes me wish to be real.” He said.

  Kelley placed her hand on his monitor. He mirrored her by doing the same on his side. In a true personification of their separation, she could almost feel his warm touch through the thin layer of glass that held so much real distance. With a tinge of longing in her voice she said, “You're real to me, Caleb.”

  He smiled his usual lopsided smile and said, “Thanks.” His hand slid back to his side. Kelley busied herself with pulling down her skirt and straightening her top.

  Returning to business she said, “Now that our little private meeting is done, I do have some work to do.” She punctuated her firm tone with a wry wink, and Caleb blushed in return.

  The rest of the day passed slowly. Caleb usually spent his time compiling vast amounts of data for later utilization. Thankfully, there was a cloud server network that he had setup to manage this. If she had to pay for the storage to house that much data, she would have long since lost her funding. He had managed to find a way to store and retrieve data from every corner of the Internet, free of charge. If their funding got pulled, she would be setting him free in this same network. There, he cou
ld exist forever as the unique, introspective artificial life that he was. Regretfully, he would not retain his digitally rendered form that rounded out his human nature so well.

  After finishing up the last of her scans, she grabbed the text console that she used to communicate with Caleb when she was outside of work. This allowed him to hear and see the outside world without dragging his mobility platform everywhere. To the unaware bystander, she was just carrying a tablet PC with a web cam attached. She placed the console in her purse and said a quick goodbye to Caleb on her way out the door.
