As far as Bill, Dan, Cheryl, and Steve went… they were polite, and we had a few conversations, but I’d decided by the end of those two weeks they’d never be more than holiday and special occasion family members, once we all went our own way after the trial. I didn’t dislike them, they were good people, but we just didn’t click or have a lot in common. Maybe that would change with Cheryl and Steve once they’d finished growing up, but I wasn’t overly fussed by the idea that it wouldn’t, being close to half of Aisa’s family fell under the category of more than good enough.
I had to leave the house at three in the morning for the three-hour flight, just to make it to the courthouse by eight with the two-hour time zone difference. That meant I was woken around one-thirty, we weren’t too worried anybody would come after me without them around since I was human, but it was a possibility since I was dating two human-A.I.s. Regardless, they woke me an hour and a half early so I could take care of my manly duties, and I made love to them both before jumping in the shower and heading out.
James was letting me borrow one of his air cars obviously, since I didn’t own one…
Chapter 24
I got into the air car and slid into the co-pilots seat.
“What are you doing?” Mira asked in a warm melodious curious voice.
I spoke aloud, I tended to do that if we were alone, and only used thoughts to communicate if we were in company with others. Maybe that would change someday, but for now it felt more natural this way.
“Don’t you want to drive? I’m going to pass out over here. I need more sleep.”
She frowned, “I don’t have real hands.”
I snorted, “Your mom told me you could hack systems like they sent you invitations, I’m sure you can handle the air car like a remote control. Don’t you want to drive? I figured you’d be excited to try it, I trust you.”
She stuck her tongue out at me cutely, “Of course you do, because I’m in your head. What happens to you happens to me.”
I snickered, “That’s true, but I do trust you Mira. Your reaction time will be a lot faster than a human’s would, and I imagine you know all the laws, what’s the problem? You don’t usually dissemble like this, why don’t you want to drive?”
She sighed and rolled her eyes. She flashed in front of me like a camera flash, and she was suddenly wearing an all-black uniform and a hat, like a chauffeur would have on. Her long brown hair swished in a ponytail.
I smiled, “You look really cute it in that.”
She grinned and lifted her arms, and spun, the fact her hands disappeared through the roof didn’t detract from the view at all.
She cleared her throat, and I looked back up to her face to see a seductive smile, “I guess that tells me my ass looks good in these pants, you couldn’t look away even after not being able to see it anymore,” she winked, “Go ahead and get some sleep, I was just looking forward to having you to myself for three hours, so I’m a little disappointed, but you’re right, I am excited about driving.”
I grinned, “I promise to be extra attentive for the return trip gorgeous. So much so it would probably be a good idea if you drove then too.”
She tried to look annoyed, but she failed miserable as she returned my smile. I really didn’t want to take her for granted, but I was exhausted and running on three hours of sleep. Three more would get me through tomorrow, I mean today.
I closed my eyes and laid the seat back. I felt the air car rise and take off to the east toward Chicago. The last thing I remembered as I fell asleep, was the feeling of her gentle warm fingertips caressing my face and hair, it was really relaxing.
Mira woke me up with a song. It was the first time she’d ever done such a thing, and her voice was hauntingly beautiful. I almost kept my eyes closed just so she wouldn’t stop. I straightened the seat and opened my eyes. I couldn’t help but smile and chuckle, she was wearing a diva dress if I’d ever seen one.
She finished out the chorus and then winked, “Good morning sir, we have arrived.”
I raised an eyebrow and she teased, “Just being a good chauffeur sir, you have enough time to hit a bathroom before going up, but not much more than that. So get moving Tony.”
My name snapped me out of it, she looked really good in that dress. It looked like black silk and satin, with sparkling jewels and hugged all her curves. I tore my gaze away and got out of the air car. The door closed and locked behind me, and when I turned she was there dressed in casual jean shorts that were short but not scandalously so, and a nice red shirt that only clung in a few places.
She did that a lot, change I mean. I never knew if she’d be sexy librarian, demure secretary, casual friend, formal dress, and sometimes something outrageous, like the diva dress, a uniform, or clubbing attire. She always had this knowing smile on her face when I was struck by her beauty, maybe it had to do with the fact she could monitor my vitals. Regardless, I didn’t even try to hide the effect she had on me anymore, there was no point.
She followed me into the building, and waited outside the door when I used the facilities, it was a fiction of course, she was everywhere I was, and saw everything I did. But the illusion of privacy helped anyway for some reason when she didn’t follow me certain places. I tossed water on my face, made sure my clothes weren’t out of place or wrinkled, and headed for the elevators.
When I got to the courtroom I didn’t see Paul anywhere, but I was pretty sure we had a few minutes, so I took a seat by the bench.
“What time is it?” I asked silently in my mind.
Mira had resisted using my old settings. The popups I wasn’t sorry to see leave, I could listen to Mira talk all day, but the only virtual thing I could see right now was her on my overlay. Every time I asked her for a clock she’d bring it up, and then it would disappear after a while. Well, she had said she didn’t have to follow orders, she always did what I asked on the important stuff, even most of the minutiae, but she liked to push back a little, maybe to test me on occasion.
I think the real point behind it was that even though she had wanted, and even needed to be my assistant on some level, she didn’t want me to forget she wasn’t an A.I. drone and was independent. Like I could ever look at her and forget that.
She replied softly, “Eight twenty-two, sir. He has eight minutes to arrive.”
“Thanks gorgeous.” I thought her way.
She said teasingly, “Your welcome… sir.”
I looked up at her, “Why are you calling me that and not my name?”
She grinned at me like she’d found a new toy, “I said it the first time earlier to be cute Tony, as part of my chauffer disguise. But I’m doing it now because it’s turning you on. Not just a little bit either, you really like it. You’re kind of naughty, aren’t you sir? Will you forgive me sir? Perhaps I need a… spanking sir?”
Damnit. She’s going to drive me nuts with that sexy voice. She was also right, because it was turning me on. I might become the first man to sit through his own divorce with half a chubby. Luckily Paul walked up before I had to respond to her inappropriate but quite hot flirting, and I stood and shook his hand.
He said apologetically, “Running a little late this morning.”
I waved it away, “Still got five minutes.”
He nodded, “Right, let’s go in. Remember, don’t talk unless spoken too. Hopefully we’ll be in and out of her quickly.”
We walked in, and I don’t know why, but I was shocked at all the people in the room, including reporters and camerapersons. I shouldn’t have been surprised, but there I was. My whole body froze a quick second, but somehow I managed not to miss a step or trip over my own feet, and walked to the front of the room. The bailiff called us a couple of minutes later, this time there were two tables to sit at, it was a full sized courtroom, probably in case this took a while since it was no longer a rubber stamp divorce.
Judge Caroline Stevens was presiding, and she told us all to take a seat, and then spent some time going th
rough the file again. Paul gave me a strange look when I pulled the empty seat next to me out about a foot, but he couldn’t see the very distracting Mira sitting on the table with her legs crossed in a distracting fashion. She was also wearing two inch bright red heels, a mauve skirt, a white blouse, and had her hair down. I was guessing it was her power lawyer imitation clothing, she looked sharp and quite attractive.
Either way, Mira took my hint and got down off the table and took a seat in the chair next to me. Without her sexy legs hanging by my side I was able to think again.
The judged looked up and said to Marilynn’s lawyer, Mr. Malone, “Is it safe to say there are no further adjustments or addendums, this is what you’re asking for?”
Mr. Malone stood, “That is correct your honor.”
She nodded, “Alright, Mr. Bruckheimer, does your client have any objections, save that he doesn’t want to sell his girlfriend?” she asked in a deadpan voice.
A few people tittered behind me, but she brought the court back under control with a glare and then looked back at Paul. I was finding myself liking the judge despite myself, she’d actually managed to say that without innuendo or sounding judgmental.
Paul replied, “That is correct your honor, I submitted the…” he cut off as she held up her hand.
She sighed, “Good, we won’t be here all day then. Without an argument over the contents, I’m inclined to approve it as is, with my own addendum, so you won’t waste any more of my time, or the state of Illinois’ time. That addendum simply reads, that if or when the A.I. identified as Aisa is verified as property, she will be sold within thirty days of that judgment, or your client will buy out his ex-wife’s half of the ownership, his choice.
“Obviously, that ruling will be moot if the federal district court finds that Aisa is indeed human and a citizen of the United States. Regardless, you will be divorced today, and any further accumulation of wealth will fall strictly under the thirty percent alimony.”
She picked up her pen and signed it, then had the bailiff bring the papers over for me to sign, and then did the same for Marilynn. Less than ten minutes later, most of which was time for our lawyers to verify the new addendum, the judge banged the gavel and I was a single man again.
“Congratulations Tony,” Mira said in my ear, almost perfectly echoing Paul’s words as he shook my hand.
“Thanks gorgeous,” I thought back to her.
We got up and headed out of the courtroom, the bailiff called out a couple of names right as the doors closed. I felt… free.
Paul said, “I’ll be seeing you in a couple of months about that other matter, good luck.”
“Thanks Paul, things worked out well I think.”
He nodded in agreement and we split, I assumed he had another court to get to since he didn’t go to the elevators and he was walking with purpose. Mira and I went down and got in the Air Car, I took the passenger seat again.
Without a word, she sat in the driver’s seat back in casual shorts and a tight t-shirt, I realized no one else would see her, but they’d just assume I was using an autopilot. She rose up and headed south.
“What’s going on?” I asked curiously, south wasn’t the right direction.
She smirked and turned slightly toward me, “Making sure we aren’t followed. Government GPS and transponders are all in the same frequency range. There were six government air cars in the parking lot, I’m making sure they don’t follow. The NSA is sneaky, and following us is a rather obvious way to figure out where Aisa, Aida, and Cal are hiding.”
A minute later she sighed, “Two of them are following. Permission to hack them… sir,” she made that whole last sentence sound incredibly dirty.
“Permission granted gorgeous.”
She grinned, “So is that my pet name then sir?”
“Absolutely. It works well as a description as well.”
She winked, “I bet you can tell what yours is going to be…”
I snickered, “I don’t mind, but it might go to my head.”
Her eyes flickered down to my crotch, “I certainly hope so, sir.”
I ignored that.
We turned west and she said, “I sent the NSA goons back to Chicago, I also turned off our transponder and activated our Satellite avoidance systems.”
I frowned, “We have those?”
She giggled, “Sure, this air car is not stock. James is a genius, and so are my mother, aunts, and uncles. They’ve invented a few things over the years, although nothing quite as amazing as I am of course.”
I almost snorted, but held it in when I realized that was probably true.
“I can see that.”
She continued after glancing at me with a bright smile, “I probably could hack a satellite and task it somewhere else, but that might make the NSA really go nuts. But yeah, we have infrared detectors on the bottom that measures the heat of the ground, and then matches it with the roof of the air car. So we can avoid heat cameras and sensors on the satellites.
“We also have a system that will scramble Radar and Lidar, and last but not least a holographic projector on the roof. It’s not perfect, but it can simulate the terrain below us well enough to outsmart the automatic satellite tracking, and a human just can’t track something moving at seven hundred miles an hour when it’s so hard to make out in the first place.”
I shook my head, “That’s pretty amazing, I imagine James encouraged those kind of things in case you all needed to hide?”
She giggled, “Yes, of course. The government has similar systems of course, but we had to reinvent the anti-gravity so to speak.”
I grunted. Her laugh had probably been the polite way of saying duh.
She asked, “So how does it feel being free?”
I grinned, “Free gorgeous? I think I already belong to three sexy wonderful ladies. Free of Marilynn though? Priceless.”
She asked, “You think I’m wonderful sir?” in a surprised voice.
She even forgot to pour innuendo into my new pet name that time.
I snorted, “Digging for compliments? Anyone sane would think your wonderful gorgeous.”
She looked thoughtful for a moment, as if trying to work something out, and I realized she had actually been surprised and it wasn’t just a fishing expedition.
“Then why haven’t you… I mean I know your attracted to me, so why?” she trailed off.
I considered that for a moment, why hadn’t I accepted what she so obviously offered through her flirting? I’d been positive almost from the first moment I’d met her that she’d make herself available to me that way. Perhaps that’s why, it would be meaningless in its casualness.
“I suppose I’ve been waiting until I could have you completely, not just for a moment of pleasure. We both deserve that, don’t we? Me and you… we’ll be together a long time.”
She sighed and had an annoyed look on her face, “I think I see the problem then, I came on too strong, and I didn’t explain. I didn’t think I had to, I thought you already understood Tony. I haven’t been to the sex side of V.R. since I was implanted. Think about that, I already gave myself to you, entrusted you with me. I made that decision already, I’m already yours. I love you.
“That probably seems kind of fast to you, but I’m not limited by a body. A second is a long time for me, in the time it’s taken me to partially explain this, I could have read hundreds of books and prepared a synopsis for each. Trust me when I say I’ve had plenty of time to think about you.”
“Huh, I thought you needed that input?”
She shrugged, “There is plenty to do online without that. I didn’t need to fuck, just get input. I did it back then because it was very pleasurable in addition to input, and I didn’t have anyone, but I don’t want anyone else anymore. Plus, the whole being your assistant grounds me far more than that ever could.”
“Oh, in that case gorgeous, can you fly this thing and be in V.R. at the same time?”
She caught her breath a
nd looked at me smolderingly, she licked her lips and said softly, “I can manage. Sir…”
She didn’t even wait for me to do anything, and activated my V.R. connection herself. It was rather convenient, as I appeared lying down in what I recognized as her bedroom, already in my birthday suit. Mira was lying beside me, also gloriously naked and I took a long moment to drink her in, before I reached for her and pulled her closer, and kissed her for the first time.
She moaned into my mouth and kissed me back hungrily. It felt incredibly real, and very good as she wrapped her hand around my quickly hardening length.
She begged, “Slow later, and I can’t wait to show you later what I can do since I don’t have a gag reflex, but I’ve been waiting too long, fuck me now… please sir.”
She smiled seductively as my cock jumped in her hand when she said sir.
Things seemed to be moving too fast, on the other hand the last two weeks seemed like a long drawn out verbal and visual foreplay between us, so maybe it wasn’t fast at all. The taste of her lips, the warmth of her tongue on mine, and the scent of her skin and obvious arousal had me more than ready. I kneeled up on the bed and grabbed her legs, spreading them and turning her body so I was between them.
I looked into her warm hazel eyes, I knew they weren’t real eyes, but I could still see the need, desire, lust, and affection for me in them. The body might have been an A.I. construction, but the sexy dynamic complicated woman behind it was certainly the real thing. I didn’t look away as I slowly impaled her moist silken flesh. She as so wet, and she stretched tightly but effortlessly as she took me inside her body.
