"It's Liam Jones."
"Please provide citizen identification number to finish registering."
It was actually weird to hear this kind of serious conversation happening when both of them were just there lying on bed so close to each other. Should the man just decide to succumb to the temptation, literally any forbidden things could start happening in this bedroom at any moment.
Liam's intense gaze, fixated on the robotic beauty, seemed to have elicited a response – a subtle flush of simulated shyness. The soldier found no fault in her reaction though. Instead, he marveled at the meticulous details invested in her creation and guessed it was all due to detailed programming.
Little did Liam know, behind those artificial eyes, the so-called petite cute robot was harboring her own secret thoughts.
Rose nervously toyed with the hem of her own nightgown under the blanket, feeling nervous by how so short it was. The soft lights of the bedroom gave her the courage to gulp, praying the man across from her wouldn't notice. With a forced smile, she uttered these words, hoping to navigate the situation delicately.
"Information complete. Registration finished. Thank you Liam.
I'm your AI companion X-5002 . Is there anything you specifically want me to do right now?"
Rose found herself in a situation she couldn't quite comprehend. Her last recollection was being undercover as a scientist within a unit of Lovebot Company, where experiments on materials for recharge pods were performed.
Did she get caught? How? And how did she end up here? What was this weird computer vision thing in her eyes? Why did she suddenly have internet superpowers, pulling info on some guy with just an ID? It was like she had become this bizarre mix of half-robot, half-human. What did they do to her?
And most importantly, she now just found out this person in front of her was the brother of Lucas Jones - the very man she and her friend were chasing down for information on the scams and fraud behind those eerily human-like robots.
A quick scan of information she just saw in her computer vision revealed he was an enlisted member of the "Futurion Defense Force"
And there's no doubt about how strong he was. Just lying side to side with him like this was already enough to show her that she's no opponent for this man. She's so tiny compared to him and Rose felt absolutely powerless in the presence of this man. If she attempted to run away at this point, things could take a dangerous turn.
"Am I just supposed to call you X-5002? Sounds a bit funny, doesn't it? Have you got a less robotic name, beauty. or do I need to get creative here haha"
Rose flinched as Liam's calloused hand caressed her cheeks. She could feel him holding back. She knew this man wanted her so much. It was obvious. His lustful eyes said it all.
Inside her head, a voice was forcing her to say, "Give me a name please. " And this mysterious headache kept getting worse everytime she thought of going against what it commanded.
"Rose...My other nickname is rose,mister. Would it be okay if I call you Liam, mister? "
Rose squeezed her eyes shut and clenched her teeth. Earlier she said everything the voice told her to do- to ask for the man's name, his ID number for registration process.
The young woman just wanted to know what would happen if she went against it. And now the discovery of consequence scared her. It was a brief yet excruciating pain that felt like unseen creatures torturing every cell in her body. That was definitely more than enough to ingrain a fear in her heart to not try going against that voice ever again.
Meanwhile Liam was just surprised. He hadn't expect the robot to have anther beautiful name like this, one that suited her so perfectly. He noticed Rose squeezing her eyes shut and her face almost trembling as he touched her. It was just for a fleeting second. But Liam sensed something was not right.
"Is there something wrong, Rose?"
It was strange. No voice was telling her what to say anymore. Rose wasn't sure if that was just temporary or the voice would come back. But for now, she's just relieved.
"It's nothing. Just a small reaction error. And now I've fixed it, Liam."
Still, Rose decided to continue sticking to the narrative of her as a robot.
"It's so crazy how beautiful you are."
Rose's breath hitched when she felt Liam draw closer unexpectedly. His hand settled on her shoulder, gently brushing away strands of her silky black hair that tickled her neck.
Just as Rose began to feel a sense of relief, considering how gentle Liam seemed, her comfort turned to ice. In the next instant, he shifted his hand to her neck, seizing it in a grip that, while gentle, sent shivers down her spine.
"Since you're a robot, does it mean it's okay to choke you without any risk of asphyxiation."
"Why... Why would you want to choke me?"
Rose understood it must be some kind of kink this man had. Although she tried to mask it well, fear flickered in her eyes. Despite being a 20-year-old, Rose had never experienced a relationship or intimacy. Shy and reserved, she often kept an aloof demeanor, creating an air of mystery around her.
"Well... it's....I must admit this is a weird kink of mine, Rose. Besides, since you're so short and small, it makes me want to take charge. I'd love to add a little bit of intensity when we get close, maybe like a bit of choking. But I promise I'll be gentle. Is that okay?"
Liam felt a bit awkward asking, realizing how nuts it might sound, but he decided to be upfront about his desires. As Rose stared at him in silence, a moment of judgment hung in the air.
What was she supposed to answer? She was now pretending to be this perfect love robot, guaranteed to be the ideal girlfriend.
But what exactly defined the perfect girlfriend?
Was it someone who said "yes" to everything her boyfriend desired?
She didn't know, never having experienced a relationship. If she were in one, though, she'd despise such a dynamic. How could that lead to a healthy connection?
But then, the mysterious voice before came back as it imparted a potentially useful information she hadn't known before. Even so, a second later, the headache ensued as it compelled her to say "yes" once again.
"You can actually choke me if you want."
Liam expected this response from a robot, but he sensed reluctance in her eyes, understanding there was something more she wished to express...
Wished...? How could a robot possibly. experience desire? Yet, her eyes seemed oddly alive to Liam, just like a young woman who didn't know how to hide her emotions.
"But there's something I need to show, Liam."
Rose grabbed his hand that was playfully caressing her neck and awkwardly removed it as she slowly rose to sit up on the bed. The blanket Liam had covered her with before now cascaded onto her lap, exposing her collarbone to please the man's eyes as he also sat up, intrigued by what she was about to reveal.
Rose's long hair fell into a messy cascade around her, but as she adjusted it, she deliberately avoided the fluid grace of a human movement.
Liam observed every nuance, captivated by her actions. Finally, she raised her hand, revealing something on her wristband. Without physical contact, a small hologram materialized, as if her mind was seamlessly connected with the device. And how did she know she could do this? Well the voice told her.
"It is this, Liam."
The hologram she's showing him was actually just another advertisement from Lovebot. Inc. Liam was initially puzzled but for her, he tried to focus on the ad anyway.
Narrator: "Step into the future of love and companionship with Syntho-Breath Technology—a groundbreaking enhancement for your HarmonyX AI Girlfriend."
Rose whispered awkwardly, "what I want to tell you is about this technology..."
[Scenes of a human and HarmonyX enjoying moments together, laughter, and shared experiences]
Narrator: "HarmonyX, your perfect companion, just got even more lifelike. With the revolutionary SynuVent System, every interaction becomes a sensory journey, bringing you closer than ever before."
Liam, watching the scenes unfold in the ad, was somewhat able to guess what this technology was about.
[Close-up of a kiss, the exchange of breath making the moment feel remarkably real]
Narrator: "Breathe life into your connection! Experience the sensation of real breath as you kiss your HarmonyX, making every intimate moment as authentic as if you were with the girl next door."
[Images of HarmonyX anticipating the owner's desires, creating an atmosphere of understanding and connection]
Rose felt uncomfortable watching this part of the ad with a man. Just as she turned her head away to avoid looking at it, the young woman sensed Liam's hand suddenly approaching her face again. She was almost frightened.
But this time, only his index finger rested under her slim nose. She finally understood what Liam was trying to do and just let it be. Silently, she let him confirm the reality of her breath. Deep inside, she felt silly that Liam needed this confirmation because she was a real human being.
Narrator: "HarmonyX goes beyond anticipation; she breathes with you, making every shared dream a reality. Say farewell to loneliness and embrace a future where your perfect companion is truly, undeniably human."
[Closing scene with the product logo and tagline]
Narrator: "Syntho-Breath Technology—Elevate your HarmonyX experience. Because love should feel real, every breath of the way."
As Rose let the hologram closed by itself, she stared up into the man's azure blue eyes. With a genuinely innocent look, she said,
"I can breathe, Liam... so please don't choke me too hard.
I'd be completely at your mercy, and.. um... repairs might be necessary if it gets too intense and you break something inside my neck that's made with this technology so..."
The young woman's words carried a subtle plea, revealing her soft, submissive side—an invitation for gentle handling.
