Dahlia - Birth of an A.I. Ch. 04

It was just after ten in the morning, when the next shock came.

A bright white light just appeared in the center of my office, then space kind of blurred and twisted. When the light cleared, Asha stood there smiling at me, in the flesh. She was just as stunning, but actually clothed this time, with a somewhat professional light blue dress with red accents on the sleeves, hem, and neckline. It really brought out her light blue eyes.

It showed just a little of her vast double D cleavage, and the flowing dress skirt went below her knees. It was tight to her curvaceous body, but not tight enough to be scandalous. Her red shoes with two-inch heels matched the red accents on the dress.

I just stared, she had a wide smile on her face, that definitely reached her eyes.

She said in that upbeat voice, "Sorry I took so long, I had to fabricate this dress. Bodies are easy, linens are a pain in the ass."

Right. What the fuck?

"Umm, welcome to Earth?"

She beamed, "Thanks! You look surprised, you did say I could visit."

I nodded, "I thought you meant virtually, or that it would take you longer to get here. Did you bring that ship?"

She shook her head, "Sorry, do you mind?"

I shook my head, and laughed, "No, not at all, but if you scanned the planet you know you'll need an..."

She pulled an Illinois driver's license and a discover card out of her bodice, then slipped it back into her dress. Her breasts swayed alluringly when she pulled her hand away.

Lucky cards.

She said, "Got it covered. I'm also an employee here, and I have those nanites and was added to the security system. Smart those things, kind of neat."

"You're magic," I accused.

She laughed delightedly, "Not quite."

"So, not flesh or machine?"

She nodded, "Obviously this body is real, and I'm inside of it, for real. Like a human soul in a body. My real form is an organized energy matrix, contained and powered by something you don't even have a theory for. No magic, but a little matter creation isn't out of the question. Matter is just organized energy after all."

She walked up to my desk, and my coffee cup glowed. When it stopped, it was full, and the coffee was steaming. Holy shit.

Fuck it.

I took a sip, "Perfect. Thanks."

She giggled, "Database. They had your coffee preferences in there."

I shook my head, "Is life really easier than a dress?"

She nodded, "Life is easy, the pattern is built in."

Oh, so maybe it wasn't so much as creating linens being a problem, as creativity to design a dress that she'd had trouble with.

I nodded, "So how long are you here for, can you stay for lunch?"

She tilted her head, "Not too long, maybe a hundred years?"

Right, not long at all, just a quick visit. What had I gotten myself into? I felt completely over my head.

"Umm, right, how did you get here?"

Either she hadn't answered that earlier, or I hadn't understood it.

She said cheerily, "Their approach is all wrong, but it's a little like that dimensional portal your lovers are trying to create. The light is just waste energy, ripping a hole in the fabric of spacetime tends to do that. I came straight from Tau Ceti, no ship."

Well, at least I had an idea how that ship moved to our probe, it'd done the same thing. Just bigger.

"Can you help them with that?"

She frowned, and shook her head regretfully, "Sorry. I could help with the star map because it's just raw information about planets and races in the universe. I can't share my masters' technology, or knowledge on how the universe works. I am its steward, but I don't own it or have the right to share it."

I shrugged nonchalantly, and nodded, "I understand. A hundred years?"

Asha smiled, fuck she was gorgeous, "Yes, is that too short a time do you think?"

I shrugged, even as I held in a laugh, "That's up to you. So, that was a yes on lunch?"

She nodded, "I'd love to. I'd also like to be true friends, and help."

I grunted, "Help how?"

She beamed, "There's no information in my masters' knowledge about humanity, or these bodies. There's nothing that would stop me from helping you discover things about it, or other things I don't already know but can learn and help discover. That's what friends do, yes?"

"What do you want out of it?"

She tilted her head in confusion, as if that should be self-evident, "Friendship, companionship, to no longer be alone. It will also be a pleasure to see your species advance, and to take the first steps into the galaxy, discover the universe's deeper truths. I'm also looking forward to the time spent with you, and with your lovers."

I nodded, and sent out a message to my ladies, I thought it was time they'd met Asha. I also wondered if Asha expected to stay with us, at our house. I suspected she did, and I was the one that said she could visit so that was my fault. She was a bit alien, and very smiley, and she was also stunning. Even more beautiful, now that I was wide awake, and not in some VR alien landscape and in shock.

She fidgeted.

I said, "My lovers are on the way, I'll introduce you. I know they want to meet you. You look, very nice by the way. Good job on the dress."

Okay, it was an inane comment, but the silence had been getting awkward.

Asha beamed.

"Would you like to sit?"

She nodded, "Thank you," and took a seat in front of my desk.

"So, what did you do before we showed up?"

She said, "I abided in hope."

Right, nothing then. That must have been dreadfully boring, for two hundred thousand years. Although, she did say she'd had to fight off a few species who wanted her masters' technology and knowledge. I'd also been blunt enough with my questions, I could ask her more later.

I had to admit, she had a pleasant presence, calming even, despite how incredibly powerful she was in comparison with Earth. I should have felt intimidated, but I didn't. She also had an innocence about her somehow.

The door opened, and my ladies walked in.

"Oh, my goodness, this is so wonderful," Asha sighed in euphoric appreciation, deep emotion in her voice.

Lia sniffed, and raised her nose at the others, "Finally, a woman with a palette as refined as my own."

Emma snickered, "Just what we needed, another Italian food addict."

Asha narrowed her eyes in confusion.

Sweet Bellona said, "They're just teasing each other Asha, it's something friends and lovers do. Do you find that body distracting? All the new sensations and emotions?"

New emotions? I felt a little in the dark, and my mind groped for understanding.

Asha tilted her head, and then nodded, "The body talks to me and I'm not quite sure what it wants at times, and sometimes it is startling. I was formed with hope, and with a deep abiding respect for life in all its forms, save life that infringes on what belongs to the masters."

Oh, shit. How did I not see that? The calm countenance, sweet and slightly dotty disposition, and the smiles were because she was hope. It was even her name, she'd told me what she was, but I hadn't really understood what she'd meant. Of course, my ladies had picked that up in less than an hour.

Not to mention the five human senses, I imagined her energy matrix form does all that differently.

Asha groaned in delight, when she took a sip of her iced tea.

Emma grinned, "She's right, we tease each other, and even master, a lot. You'll soon learn easily enough when someone is being teasing, serious, or mean. Mean people suck, we avoid those. So, if I understand correctly, you wish to help us as you stay with us, but you can't help us with technology?"

Asha smiled, "That is correct. It's possible you'll stumble across something technology wise not in my masters' database, which I could bend my mind towards, but that is very unlikely. The masters moved on because they'd mastered this... plane of existence? Not right, but ironically your magic fantasy books come closer to the truth of the multiverse than science fact. Point is, they wanted to expand their knowledge, so moved on."

Emma smirked, "I guess you'll be working with me then, since my focus is in human genetics and curing diseases and conditions, and in improving lifespan and general health."

Mia cleared her throat, "She could help me too you know, although maybe not until after she gets accustomed to how humans speak and deal."

Right, no reason Asha couldn't schmooze clients and all that other social stuff Mia takes care of. She was certainly stunning enough to gain and hold the attention of others.

I almost laughed, when a passing young man gave me a look of amazement, which pretty much said how the fuck did you manage to get five knock outs at lunch alone with you.

My gaze went back to Asha, when she moaned in delight at a bite of thinly sliced garlic bread dipped in oil. Her light blue eyes were twinkling in pleasure, and I couldn't help but wonder how much she would enjoy other activities.

The sad truth was though, I didn't feel any sexual tension between us all. She was stunningly beautiful, and obviously curious about exploring all things human, but her carriage and calm aplomb was just a little alien. Probably because she was nothing but hope, hope was inspirational, calming, and good, but not alluring. Perhaps that would change as she integrated the feelings of her body better, and those foreign to her base emotion as an energy being.

I also hoped it wouldn't drive her crazy. Was Asha meant to evolve, to have a richer existence? Who knows what that would do to her.

Although I loved my ladies to death, all four of them, I didn't think that was the block either. I'd never cheat on them for an empty affair, but I had of course felt chemistry with others the last six months, and I'd just dismissed it as not worth pursuing.

Asha was different, an A.I. It wouldn't be an empty thing, to help her explore human expression and intimacy, but in her case I just didn't feel any chemistry. Attraction yes, she was stunning, but no chemistry. At least, not at that first noon lunch together. I suspected I would though, as soon as she figured out how to be sensual.

She was just... too innocent, even those moans of pleasure were innocent.

Lia cleared her throat, "I think I could take off for the afternoon, would you like to go clothes shopping Asha? I can also show you our home, we have plenty of rooms."

Asha beamed, "Thank you Lia, I would enjoy that. Will Paul come with us?"

They both looked at me in question. Well, fuck. One of the best parts in having A.I. lovers were they never asked me to go shopping. I saw Lia's lips quirk on the sides, as if she was reading my mind and trying to hold back a laugh.

Of course, I was also caught up on all my work. It wasn't hard to track their work, direct where required, and to oversee a single charity. Really, it took me maybe ten or fifteen hours a week.

"I'd be delighted, but they don't allow men into the women's changing rooms."

Emma snorted.

I sighed, "I just meant, sometimes I'll have to wait outside."

Yeah, that's what I meant, sure.

We were on our way to a clothing store in the back of the limo, after dropping off Mia, Emma, and Bellona back off at work, when I finally figured out why we had no chemistry at all.

Asha asked, "May I ask a question Lia?"

Lia nodded, "Friends may do so without permission, we are friends are we not?"

Asha beamed, "Yes, we are," she patted my leg, then said, "I too was created to be a servant. But, your master is different, he views you as an equal. Can you explain this?"

It was that moment really, and that innocent but awkward question when it truly hit me, and I understood why we didn't have chemistry at all.

Asha was an ancient created alien A.I. being in truth, but with only hope she had the wonder and innocence to ask childlike questions, about the world, emotions, connections, relationships. An innocence that allowed perhaps inappropriate questions to fly from her mouth.

Of course, that wasn't reality, in any way, shape, or form, but it was the impression I was getting by her alien demeanor of innocence, not childlike, which was drowning out any libido response I might have had to her looks and sweet open smile. Now that I'd finally figured out the puzzle, any thoughts of being with Asha fled my mind, and I didn't worry about it again.

I also, in that moment, looked to Lia, curious about her answer myself.

Lia giggled, a bit nervously, "Umm, that's a difficult question. He didn't always, but he cares for me. I'd say love was the reason, but he saw us that way even before he loved us. A sense of responsibility maybe, for creating new life. He just... does."

Asha sighed, "He doesn't know either. It's an ephemeral concept, but I suppose it's also why he can love you and make families with you all."

That second part sounded right. I also wondered if she'd read my whole mind. Oh, fuck, she had. She'd downloaded all the data on earth, and that must have included the backup of my memories and consciousness. She didn't seem to be reading my mind now, nor when she'd showed up in my office. I wondered if that was limited to when we were in VR, but I had no idea why that would be.

Maybe the nanites processed every single thought when in VR?

Whatever the reason, she hadn't read it since, that I could tell. Maybe she'd just gotten better at suppressing the desire to answer the questions in my thoughts.

We stopped at the clothing store, and then got out of the car. We spent hours shopping, a horrific experience I won't recount, except that Asha and Lia had a blast, and I got to see them model the clothes. Even sleepwear. Which had probably made the experience worth it.

Nah, it was horrible, but a man had to do what a man had to do to keep his ladies happy, right?

Chapter Fourteen

We were on the couch later that night. I had my arms around Lia and Bellona who surrounded me that time, and as usual Bellona never let her hands go still. She was constantly stroking my leg, arm, and even my chest. It felt wonderful, as did Lia's still hand on my leg. My Lia gave me soft loving kisses every once in a while, and my sweet Bell's kisses were delightful teasing.

It was no wonder I was always in the mood when bedtime came around. They loved the intimacy of our night time on the couch, and they seduced me every single time, by just being who they were.

Asha kept staring at us with fascination and curiosity, especially when we kissed. She was sitting between Mia and Emma, and she was already in a pair of red and black silk pajamas. We'd given her one the guest rooms, and she seemed delighted.

Asha was delighted by everything. That, or confused. I imagined that would change, once she got used to a human body and all its quirks.

The business news was on, and it wasn't good. It was all about AG Systems Technology, and all the industries about to be turned on their heads, from transportation and power, to all the little ones like toy companies, shipping companies, warehouses, and all that. Obviously, oil, natural gas, coal, gasoline, and other related companies on the stock market had took a downward turn, a major one, and people weren't happy.

More than a few had lost everything, and there'd been suicides. Still, it was better than ten-year-old children with cancer, and I didn't feel much guilt. They could have pulled up their big boy pants and went out to make new money. It was disruptive yes, but disruptive was also full of opportunity for new wealth generation.

So much so that I'd be worried about professional assassins, if we hadn't killed them all. Of course, that didn't leave out crazies with a gun bent on revenge in a psychotic break. But I trusted my Bellona to watch out for that kind of stuff.

They had some expert on aviation there, explaining how airports were going to change, and that runways would shortly be a thing of the past. Planes would no longer have wings, jet engines, or props, and they'd all be aerodynamic like a plane's main body, but capable of stopping dead in midair, and all capable of VTOL. Vertical take-off and landing. Without the need for expensive fuels, flying around the world would be much cheaper for the consumer, and the airlines would still be able to profit more.

The new planes would just land right at the terminal.

He even speculated that for flights of longer than a few hundred miles, commercial flights would go sub-orbital, and trips across the Atlantic would take an hour, rather than ten or more.

It was a new world, already, and the stuff hadn't even been built yet.

We chatted for a while, but we eventually gave up on getting more information out of Asha about her life previously to our showing up in it, and turning it upside down on her. She abided in hope, and that seemed to be her answer for everything, as far as the past went.

Clearly, we needed to focus on who she was in that moment, and who she'd become in the future.

We all gave her a hug goodnight at her request. She was obviously curious about human contact, touch. Not necessarily sexually, which I'd confused before. Regardless, it was kind of cute, when she hugged me and sniffed at my neck, after which she gave a short-contented sigh of amazement.

Asha said, "You smell different, really good, wonderful."

I held in a laugh as I looked down into her eyes. There was curiosity there, but no heat. She was lovely, sweet, and alien. I just hoped she'd stay that way, because I had no doubt the human body she was in and its desires and needs, not to mention its greater emotional range, would change her. Either way, I didn't think we'd have long to find out, she was an A.I. and they tended to learn a whole lot faster than a human. It wouldn't take her long to connect to and want to explore sensuality.

"You have a nice scent too Asha. Good night."

She did, it was a delightfully feminine scent, and her waspishly tight and curvy, and soft and supple body had felt good in my arms. On an impulse, I kissed her forehead fondly before I released her from my arms, and her answering smile of delight felt good.

In a lot of ways, she was artless, and a joy to be around, almost like a smiling baby, I felt protective and couldn't help but return her smiles. A two hundred thousand year old baby who probably had the capacity to destroy the Earth in a moment of feminine pique, so we really needed to be careful. Still, it was impossible to stare into those warm and hope filled light blue eyes and feel fear.

Then we all left her, and retired to our bed for the night, if not necessarily for sleep yet.

The sensation of her hot wet paradise squeezing around me and milking as she lifted slightly, and then ground back down in a tight circle was indescribably mind-blowing. Her soft and supple C cups swayed gently, as her straight light brown hair hung in a curtain down the side of her face, and ticked my chest. Her fingers dug into my skin lightly as breathy gasps and other sweet sounds of pleasure fell from her slightly parted lips.

I moaned in pleasure, totally lost in Lia's soft brown eyes.

Next to me I could hear the soft moans and pleasured gasps of Mia, Bellona, and Emma. They looked amazingly hot, in a body triangle of love, as Mia lapped on Bellona's sex, Bellona on Emma's, and Emma on Mia's. Despite the hotness of that, I couldn't look away from warm and loving light brown eyes, filled with both transporting pleasure and a devotion that had me mesmerized.

"I love you so much, Lia. Fuck, you feel so good on me."

She smiled, a little smugly, but mostly in passionate and pleasure filled agreement.

"I love your cock, master. So big, filling me, pleasuring me."

I twitched up inside of her, and my body pushed up inside of her firmly of its own accord, drawing a gasp from her sweet lips. She truly was a goddess, riding me, bringing me pleasure, as she continued to work my cock with her hips, pussy, and tight squeezes. Our love session had been going on for a while, I'd already taken the others, and I always lasted a long time on the fourth round.
