Jasmine hesitantly, but gracefully descends the platform to greet Ethan, and offers him her hand to kiss, “I’m Jasmine.”

  Ethan kisses the top of her hand, “Ethan. Pleasure.”

  “Hello, Ethan. Do you like what you see?”

  “Very much so.”

  “Would you like to get to know me better?”

  Stunned, “Uh-huh.”

  “Well then, maybe you should take me home.”

  Veronika smiles with glee, “I think you’ve found your girl.”

  Ethan, “I think she found me.”

  Jasmine smiles, “I’ll bet you’re a romantic.”

  Ethan, “I’m a sucker for a pretty face.”

  After Jasmine picks out some sexy futuristic lingerie, she takes his hand and leads him out of the store. They make their way to the parking lot, and get into his car. Ethan and Jasmine begin their drive home.

  “Nice car.”

  “Thank you.”

  “What do you do for a living?”

  “I’m a doctor.”

  “Of medicine?”

  “Android Medicology.”

  “That’s hot.”

  Ethan chuckles.

  “Would you like to tell me your preferences and fetishes?”

  Ethan stammers.

  “Relax.” Stroking his hair, “It’s okay, I am designed to adapt to your personal tastes and preferences. Just tell me what you like, and I promise I won’t disappoint you.”

  “Alright, well I’m a romantic. I aim to please. I like to know that I have satisfied a woman. Her experience is just as important as my own. I like to give massages and foot rubs.”

  “I’ll remember that.”

  “I like cuddling... I like, I like, lying in bed after passionate sex, bodies entangled in the twisted sheets, just holding each other... I… I want to hold you.”

  “That can be arranged.”

  After arriving home, Ethan, taking her by the hand, introduces Jasmine to the bedroom, she is holding the shopping bag containing lingerie. Ethan sits down on the foot of the bed. Jasmine takes the shopping bag into the bathroom. When she emerges Ethan’s jaw drops.

  “Like what you see?”

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  “Fuck me.”

  “Okay.” Jasmine approaches Ethan and grabs his tie, pulling his lips to meet hers. They kiss passionately and she begins unbuttoning his shirt.

  “Wait. Wait, wait. I can’t do this.”

  “Would you like to stop?”

  “Yes. No.”

  “I can’t proceed without authorization.”

  “Just, gimmie a second to wrap my head around this.”

  Biting her finger, “Are you having a moral dilemma?”

  “Yes, exactly.”

  Looking sexy on purpose. Taunting him. Curling her hair around her finger, “Tell me... what’s bothering you?”

  “This is my first time, with…”

  Starts to pace seductively, “Oh… You’re a virgin? That’s cute. But guess what... I’m a virgin too.”

  “Have mercy.”

  “Oh, you want me to stop.”

  “Uh…”

  “I don’t think you do. I think you want this to keep going. I think you like looking at me. And I think you feel guilty about it. But at least in this moment, you’re willing to accept the fact that you are probably going to hump the gorgeous thing in front of you, but you’re okay with that. You’ve come to terms with it.”

  “Talk about leading the witness.”

  “Would you like to be submissive yet?”

  “Yes.”

  “Good. Lay down.”

  She starts unbuckling his belt and undoing his pants, “You won’t need these.” Quickly she pulls his pants off.

  “Whoa.”

  “Oh my!”

  She straddles him and they start kissing passionately, but then Ethan blurts out, “What’s your favorite color?”

  “What?”

  “What’s your favorite color? Mine’s indigo.”

  “I am an AI Playtoy Android, I do not have preferences. I am designed to adapt to your tastes and preferences.”

  “I’d like to stop now.”

  “You sound serious.”

  “I am.”

  “Did I do something wrong?”

  “No. I’m sorry... it’s not going to happen tonight.”

  “That’s okay. We can try again later. Would you like me to power down?”

  “No, you don’t have to power down.”

  “What would you like to do?”

  The two lay in bed. Jasmine is getting a foot massage and is loving the royal treatment.

  “So... Do you know the names of the primary and secondary colors?”

  “Yes, of course. While the human eye is capable of perceiving millions of color variations, I can name four hundred variations of color.”

  “And you have no preferences?”

  “I’m an AI Playtoy Android, I don’t have preferences. I am designed to adapt to your tastes and preferences.”

  “Yeah, I got that.”

  “Are you enjoying your massage?”

  “Mmm, very much so. My pleasure receptors indicate that you are enjoying this as well.”

  “You are correct. You have beautiful feet.”

  “Thank you. They were handcrafted in Japan.”

  Ethan chuckles, “I should have guessed. Our best robotics come from Japan.”

  “You mentioned you were an Android Doctor.”

  “Yes, that’s right. You’re in great hands now.”

  “That makes me simulate happiness.”

  With those words a light bulb goes off in Ethan’s brain, “Simulate happiness?”

  “Well of course. I’m programmed to understand and respond with appropriate behavioral patterns.”

  “What do you think about this? I have been working on a design in my laboratory to facilitate genuine emotion in androids… essentially, self awareness. And I am on the verge of a breakthrough. I was intending on using the software on a Companion Android model…”

  “You could use it on me!”

  “That’s what I was just thinking.”

  “And I could become self aware?”

  “If the procedure works… then yeah.”

  “Oh! That’s so exciting!”

  “Tomorrow, you and I will go down to my lab. In the meantime, why don’t we get some sleep?”

  “You mean you want me to power down?”

  “Oh, right. No, you don’t have to power down. Why don’t we just cuddle until I fall asleep, and you can just lay there and close your eyes and rest.”
