Ted Online: Ted Stedman Novel 01

by D. R. Rosier

  “I love you Ted, I’m all yours,” she said in that same soft but intense voice, except for the hot tinge of breathlessness and pleasure.

  He was speechless, turned on beyond belief, and completely trapped by her gaze. He couldn’t have looked away if he’d wanted to, and he didn’t want to. He felt so many things as she gave herself to him, made love to him. Lust, desire, a huge amount of protectiveness, and even the base desire of possessiveness. She was his, to protect, to care for, and he was sure one day soon, to love with all his heart.

  Surely his heart was big enough to love his Mia and Helen at the same time. He also knew he had a much longer path with Trudy, he cared for her too, but Helen stirred his emotions far more strongly and quickly. Not because Trudy was less worthy, only because he felt like Helen needed him more and was entirely vulnerable. That… really turned him on, and touched him in the primitive parts of his psyche.

  She started to add little up and down movements. Up, down, tight little grinding circle, next time a little higher, and she did it over and over with a look of ecstasy on her face and love in her sparkling green eyes. It felt incredible, Helen’s intense stare was overwhelming him with feelings, and her body was overwhelming him with pleasure. He started to thrust up a little each time she ground in a circle.

  He let her set the pace, and how hard they went as she continued to both claim him with her love, and surrender herself to him at the same time. It was beyond incredible, and he knew if he hadn’t had a quickie earlier with Mia, he would have already blown. His heart raced under her gaze, and he felt breathless, trapped in her loving and determined gaze, and invincible all at the same time.

  It was the incredibly high emotions between them that raised the physical pleasure so high. In that moment, he thought he might even love her, but he didn’t say it. He was afraid he was just caught up in the intense coupling, now wasn’t the time. All he was sure of, was Helen was precious, and his. He didn’t feel pressured by that, it was so easy and natural, and a pleasure, to care for her.

  She sped up a little, rose up on him higher, and started to come down and grind a little harder in those amazingly pleasurable tight circles of hot tight wet friction.

  Then she said it again, still intense and loving, but also breathless, and a little broken up between her mewling sounds of pleasure, “I love you Ted. I want to feel you fill me, I want you to claim me, make me yours, and never let me go.”

  He could tell she was getting very close, he wasn’t the only one lost in this coupling, and his cock surged in her tight channel. He wouldn’t hold on much longer.

  Her eyes widened and she gasped, “Now Ted, cum with me, please…” she trailed off and her body exploded in bliss. Her face, her words, the way she loved him, the deep emotions he felt, and her heartfelt begging request for his seed did him in. He felt his cock expand within her tightening and milking pleasure, and he squeezed her ass hard and held her tightly against him, as he arched his back, pushed up into her, and exploded in pleasure.

  Helen shook and trembled on top him, and around him, as he filled her with his seed. Their blissful rapture seemed to last an eternity, as they shared in that moment of pleasure, and then they fell together. He released her ass and caressed her back. They stared into one another’s eyes for a few more moments, and then they kissed softly but with heated passion, their tongues dueled and teased, and her whole body seemed to melt against his.

  He didn’t want to move, didn’t want to leave her body. They broke the kiss moments later, minutes? He wasn’t entirely sure. He’d been consumed in that kiss.

  She smiled down at him, just a slightly unsure look in her eyes.

  He caressed her cheek, and said, “You’re incredible, a precious gift.”

  She blushed but looked relieved at the same time, and kissed him softly before she got off of him, and turned, once again sitting between his legs. They chatted lightly for the next thirty minutes or so, as they constantly caressed, touched, and explored each other.

  They also watched the moonlight over the water, but to be honest, for him, the most beautiful thing was in his arms. She seemed to enjoy it though, which is all he cared about.

  Their touches slowly got more heated, and they wound up coupled together again. This time, she had shyly moved across the hot tub, leaned over the back wall with her ass up in the air, and waved it invitingly.

  She said sultrily, but with a tinge of her usual shyness that just made her words hotter, “I’ve wanted to try this position, would you come take me from behind?”

  He was more than happy to oblige. With a little experimenting he figured out quickly that she didn’t like spankings like Mia, and many of the other women he was sleeping with did, but she did like when he rubbed her ass, and went absolutely wild when he teased his wet finger into her ass.

  He made a mental note that ass play was definitely on the table for Helen, she loved it. When he slid in a second, she’d immediately cum, and had started to buck back against him with wanton abandon as soon she’d come down far enough to regain muscle control. She impaled herself on both his length and fingers in a wanton display that took his breath away.

  He rather enjoyed it, and it was also good to know how to let the wild woman out of the usually reserved and shy red-haired beauty. He’d started to wonder if she even had one, and it would have been fine if that was the case, but it clearly wasn’t.

  It was late by the time he took her home, and after a quick whispered consult they teamed up and ravished Mia until she was a ball of orgasmic goo lying in the middle of the bed. When they were done, he laid down between them and cuddled them both against his side.

  Helen gave him a soft loving kiss, and then moved to get up.

  “Where are you going?”

  Helen shrugged, “Home.”

  He shook his head, and pulled her into a long kiss, and then asked in a sincere voice while he looked into her eyes, “Stay the night with us, stay with me. Please?” after a moment he added, “If you want to.”

  She searched his eyes as if to verify he’d meant it, and then smiled and nodded shyly. She laid back down cuddled into him with a small smile and a sigh of contentment that tugged his heart strings.

  He was more than sated and quite sleepy after their passionate night, and very successful date, and he fell asleep sandwiched between two wonderful ladies. One he loved to distraction, and the other he was already sure he was falling for. It was a little surreal sleeping with two women in the same bed, but much more comfortable and natural than he’d expected. It just felt right to have them both there…

  Chapter Thirty-Two

  He had an early breakfast with Mia and Helen. Helen was shyer about it, but it hadn’t taken her long to include herself in Mia’s usual teasing. He enjoyed it of course, but also wondered if he could handle two sexy ladies teasing him in the morning simultaneously without giving in.

  He made it that morning however, without losing his mind, or taking them both in lust. He’d even managed to somewhat hold his own and tease them back.

  After breakfast, he laid back on the bed, and Helen had left. She had to be mostly present in the real world during the work day, to keep an eye on everyone and security concerns. Where he was Mia’s only concern, so she cuddled back against him in bed, and he gave her soft kiss goodbye and then he logged into the work android.

  When he got to the lab Jennifer wasn’t in yet, and he remembered how idiotic he’d felt last night about letting Mia ask Helen on a date for him.

  “Trudy?”

  “Yes Ted?” she said in her mostly inflectionless voice.

  “I want to take you on a date tonight, before we go back to the house, that sound okay to you?”

  She replied, “That would be very nice Ted, where are we going?”

  He smirked, he may not want Mia doing his asking for him, but the woman was absolutely magical when it came to dates. His and hers at the Saturn jazz club, and last night with Helen had been amazing. He dou
bted he could come up with anything even close.

  He hedged, “I’m still working on figuring that out, I just wanted to ask you myself before Mia did it.”

  Trudy replied deadpan, “Too late, she told me about it yesterday, but I appreciate the sentiment and thoughtfulness behind the gesture nonetheless.”

  He frowned, he missed her vivacious voice, but he guessed she wasn’t able to do that here.

  He admitted, “Truthfully, Mia knows us both best, I was going to ask her advice at lunchtime, unless you have a preference?”

  He knew normally that might turn a woman off, him not being confident and making a decision that is. But the truth was he was very confident that he could show her a good time without help, and would have been fine picking his own path. He was also just as confident that Mia would have a better date idea. It seemed foolish not to take advantage of that.

  Plus, he was pretty sure that concept didn’t apply as strictly to an A.I. woman. They were just as complicated and mysterious as a flesh and blood woman was, to be sure, but they didn’t have the same instincts or foibles.

  She replied, “Surprise me, just pick me up at my lab when you’re ready to go.”

  He almost chuckled but held it back, he was sure that was supposed to be flirty and sensual, but it came out in the same boring monotone as everything else. He walked over to his desk and saw a package on it, the label said it was from the fab lab. He opened it up and took out a tiny device, it just looked like the plug on the end of a charging cable.

  He walked over to the corner where the containment system was, and dropped the part in the bin.

  “Trudy, please plug this in and run diagnostics for power potential and safety.”

  She replied, “Yes Ted.”

  Trudy navigated the arm, and pulled it into the space and closed up the entrance. The little containment test apparatus would stop up to a one megaton explosion, so unless something went really wrong it would be fine. He knew it worked in the virtual world, and expected it to work here in the real one as well.

  But every engineer knew nothing worked exactly as it did on paper, and even sometimes not at all. Since this was the first ever dark energy power source built in the real world, it seemed prudent to take a few precautions until he could go over the real world readings and how efficient it was. For all he knew based on the math he didn’t understand, one percent of the energy would be wasted in heat, and create miniature sun.

  Okay, he kind of doubted it, but something similarly catastrophic could really could happen.

  He relaxed as the testing went on for several minutes, and they were all still there. Things like the containment unit, the building, and the west coast of these United States.

  “Good morning,” said a soft cheerful voice as Jennifer walked into the lab and over to her desk, “What are you working on?”

  He grinned and said teasingly, “Oh you know, the answer to the world’s energy problems. It should just be a minute and I’ll have it sorted.”

  She snorted, “Seriously?”

  He nodded, “I think so. You might be able to move on to a new project here in a minute. If I’m right, energy conservation will be a moot point.”

  She raised an eyebrow but didn’t lose her usual soft genuine smile, “You’re having me on, aren’t you. Some kind of android humor.”

  He barked a short genuine laugh, “No, I’m not. Trudy, how are things going?”

  Trudy replied, “It is operating at ninety-eight percent efficiency. The last two percent is generating both visual light, and a strong magnetic field, it is also generating a small amount of heat, but is well within tolerances. I am trying to determine the cause of the wasted energy.”

  He brought up the circuit on the screen, he didn’t understand the math all that well, but he was very good at circuit design.

  He asked, “There could be some feedback to create that magnetic field, in the collector coils that absorb the field energy. The light… hmm, no freaking idea. Could the field itself be visible in the light spectrum?”

  There was a startled silence, and then Trudy said, “Confirmed. Though that isn’t truly an issue, the light is confined inside the device. The magnetic field however is strong enough and large enough to interfere with android operation,” he could have sworn her voice had an edge to it.

  He asked, “What if we coat the outside with a highly conductive ferromagnetic material? Will that reroute and shrink the field sufficiently?”

  Trudy replied a moment later, “Confirmed. With a ninety-eight percent probability.”

  He nodded, “Eject the device please, I’ll have the fab guys coat it now and be back in a few. Please update the appropriate files and designs. Oh. Was the power output sufficient?”

  Trudy replied, “Yes, even at minimal field intensity it can keep an android fully charged and then some. I’ll send the exact figures to your files once the problem is fixed. It’s possible that coating will change the numbers.”

  He agreed, “Of course,” he took the power core out of the bin, and after a wink at the shocked look on Jennifer’s face, he headed toward the fab lab. They didn’t give him too much trouble about the rush job, and simply wrapped it in a couple of layers of Magnetshield, which looked very much like tin foil but was actually made of a nanocrystalline magnetic shielding alloy. The alloy was twenty times more magnetically conductive than stainless steel would be.

  The new design of course would come with it integrated in the part, it didn’t have to be pretty right now for the prototype. He also knew it would come in two types, this tiny charging one, and then it would be integrated into power cores over time instead of being an add on part. No doubt the ship he was going to build would have the latter type already. He walked back to the lab and had Trudy rerun the tests.

  He checked the data afterward, and it looked really good. This little thing would keep a large building power core fully charged without a problem, much less an android. Honestly it was a little like wiring a remote control to a transformer, it was overkill, but with dark energy, or zero-point energy, apparently this was the weakest they could make it.

  He went ahead and plugged it into his android body, and closed up the access port, and watched as the almost half dead core charged back up over ten minutes’ time. Awesome.

  He filled out a report with all the testing, applied for a patent, and hit send with amusement. This would be sure to ruffle some feathers, all over the world. Gas, electric, oil, natural gas, solar, wind, hydroelectric, all of it was now obsolete. That little thing would be powering things from satellites to cellular phones, trains, automobiles, houses, cities, and pretty much everything else.

  He felt Jennifer’s hand on his shoulder and turned, she had a small nervous smile on her face.

  “Can we talk Ted?”

  He nodded, “Here?”

  She shrugged, “Here is good, I…” she sighed and then said softly, “You know I’ve had a crush on you for a long time.”

  He frowned in thought and decided to be blunt, “No. You pretty much friend zoned me, otherwise I’d have asked you out a long time ago.”

  She winced, “Yeah, I was in a bad situation when we met, dating a real asshole that I was having problems getting away from. I thought you were handsome, intelligent, and rather charming. I kind of have a thing for older men, although this new version of you is very attractive as well.” she stopped talking and shook her head, “The point is, I was in a rough spot, and dating at the time, so I did put up a wall between us back then.”

  He nodded slowly, a bit surprised to hear it.

  She continued with a wave of her hand and blush on her cute freckled face, “Once I got rid of the guy we were kind of… in a comfortable place, and you were my friend. You know, I don’t normally smile as much as I do around you. You make my day brighter, and I was hoping you’d ask me out but you never did.”

  He sighed, “I think I get it, and I always thought you were attractive, and you have a beautif
ul smile. You’re sweet too, and I just figured work friends was all we could be. Thanks for telling me, but why now?”

  She shrugged uncomfortably and looked away, and when she looked back her eyes were a little glassy, “I really don’t know, I just wanted you to know that before... it’s too late to tell you. Is that selfish? I guess the fact that your project is now wrapping up, and that I’ll be getting a new one, all brought out the fact that you would be gone soon, from the company I mean.”

  He smiled, “I’ll miss you too.”

  He meant it too, even if he was kicking himself a bit for being a moron.

  She sniffled, and then leaned down and kissed his cheek. She held it for a long moment, and then took a step back and both her sweet smile and warm brown eyes held a hint of sadness and regret. There was nothing in her eyes or body posture that said she wanted to send him off with sex or anything, which was actually almost refreshing.

  She was just a woman that wanted to have some kind of emotional closure between them. She was also fidgeting rather cutely.

  “I… should get to lunch, I’ll see you tomorrow?”

  He nodded, “I’ll be in most mornings, although I imagine I might be in a few meetings soon, since I just destroyed the energy crises, and possibly pissed off a lot of people out there by doing it.”

  She snorted a laugh and smiled. She wanted to say something else, he could see it in her eyes, but she swallowed whatever it was and headed out to lunch.

  He sat and stared at the computer a good fifteen minutes in thought and realigned his mind around the new information. Jen would apparently be a friend, and he was fairly sure whatever chance they might have to connect had expired. That was okay, it happens, and he didn’t imagine she’d be happy sharing his love with three A.I.s, and if they weren’t going to have any goodbye sex there was no reason to tell her about it.
