- - -

I don't like to think of myself as na<ve.  Nobody does.  But in 
hindsight it does seem pretty obvious - and embarrassing.

When Cheryl left me I absolutely couldn't understand it.  She 
wasn't the first woman I thought I loved.  She was the first one 
I knew I loved.  And we seemed so perfect a fit at a spiritual 
level that I absolutely could not see how either of us could be 
replaced in the other's life.  We always had fun together, always 
affirming this to each other, and never turned the other down for 
a next date.  Then she suddenly said she was going out with 
someone else instead.

Yeah there were some signs.  But doesn't every relationship, even 
those between soul mates, need a bit of growing into.  In 
retrospect, she seemed to be going through a midlife crisis.  But 
at twenty-three?  I guess I had always felt she was ahead of her 
time.  It is one of the things that made her so fascinating.

Anyway, she was gone and would barely even talk to me (which is 
the hardest of all to understand, given how close we had been for 
a year).  When she did talk was often painful.  How much do you 
like being told you just don't excite someone the right way?  Or 
that they need to find themselves?  Why does "finding yourself" 
always mean breaking up something wonderful?

I'm sure this is just part of growing up and everybody else has a 
story just like it, if not several.  That doesn't make it feel 
any better.

I guess though because everybody does have a story like this, my 
friends really did understand what I was going through.  And I 
guess they are really pretty good friends because they did what 
they could to help.

Their help consisted of Jill.

- - -

Jill is a secondhand 'bot, the most my friends could scrape 
together to offer.  They took what they could get, rather then 
ordering exactly the model and options they might have gotten for 
me otherwise.  This was a good thing, since otherwise they might 
have tried to get me a Cheryl replacement.  That wouldn't have 
been good.

Jill was fully reconditioned and certified, and somebody had 
clearly thought this was a good thing for me.

I would best describe Jill as a cheerleader-clone.  You know the 
type.  You see them at all the college games, a lot of pro games 
- and strip clubs.  She is a short, busty blonde with long 
straight hair, an all-American face, blue eyes and kiss-me lips. 
 Also I immediately noticed strong erect nipples pushing through 
her top and shapely tanned legs.  In case anyone missed the 
connection, she came attired in a cheerleader outfit with classic 
white sweater top, pleated short skirt, matching tennis shoes, 
and pom pons.  (And yes, they really are called pom pons.)

This made her the opposite of Cheryl's dark exotic beauty and 
slimmer, yet exceptionally sexy, figure.  In fact the only ways 
Jill is like Cheryl in that Jill is nearly as short as Cheryl, 
and Jill's apparent age of twenty-one makes her appear only a 
couple years younger.

I've never been one for sex-toys of any sort before, but I felt I 
really ought to try out Jill at least once.  After all, I'd never 
had a robot of my own before.

- - -

"Hi, I'm Jill," she said brightly after I pushed the activate 
button on her simple remote control.  "Are you my new owner?"

Jill's remote only contained two buttons, unlike some of the more 
complex ones I'd seen other places.  In addition to a recessed 
Activate/Deactivate button, there is a larger Command button.

"Yes," I replied to her question.

That response brought a puzzled look to her face.

After waiting long enough for my response she finally said in a 
very mechanical voice, "You must use my Command button when 
giving me important information."

I pressed the button and said, "Yes.  I am your new owner."

"Command received," she replied, and then broke into a big smile.

"And what is your name?"

"Ted Roberts," I replied, remembering to press her command button 
again.

"Nice to meet you, Ted Roberts, " she replied, extending her hand 
which I automatically took.  I noticed how much smaller it was 
than my own.  To my surprise it felt warm, soft and feminine, far 
more then I had expected.

Jill seemed to be following a preset set of actions.  Sort of an 
introduction to her owner program.

After we finished the shaking hands ritual she asked, "What would 
you like to do now, Ted Roberts?"

"Call me Ted."

Again she froze up for a moment before repeating, "You must use 
my Command button when giving me important information."

And that was the start of our relationship.  Jill would follow 
instructions, but only when they were given to her properly.  I 
soon found out what her limits were.

Jill could perform housework if she was instructed exactly how to 
do it the first time, and nothing significant changed afterwards. 
 Move some furniture around, even a chair sometimes, and she 
would stop the moment she reached the point that did not match 
her memorized model.

Cooking was not her strong suit either.  She just didn't have the 
finesse to adjust to the variations in different batches of food 
when preparing them.  There were only a few dishes she could 
prepare without error every time, and that made for a boring diet 
it I let her do all the cooking.

She did have a cute little cheerleader routine programmed in that 
I must admit I loved watching time after time.  I wondered if 
this was demo used to sell her in the first place.

Jill also has a basic encyclopedia programmed in that allows her 
to answer many basic knowledge questions, and some AI code that 
is supposed to adapt her to my habits and preferences over time. 
 But I saw little enough change in her behavior to wonder if it 
was even working.

Her best function is basic sex.

When I ask her (command her actually) for sex, Jill starts a 
complex program that doesn't need further direct input from me.  
She has several preprogrammed forms of seduction, all of which 
involve her getting naked quickly, and the apparent ability to 
switch among them depending on what is working best at the time. 
 Clearly more effort has gone into this aspect of her behavior 
then the rest of it together - as if that's a big surprise.

It was nice that, once I command her to give me sex, I don't need 
to give any further commands until we are finished and I shut her 
off for the night.  Nice at least for a lonely man who is still 
in transition from the one true love of his life.

But that was about it.  So while Jill is a marvelous machine in 
and of herself, maybe I am just expecting too much of her.

- - -

For a while I didn't go out much.  I watched TV, played with 
Jill, and kept my diary up to date.

I like to write, and even when depressed can usually pound out at 
least a few hundred words each day after work.  You'd think after 
working as a programmer all day that another keyboard is the last 
thing I'd want to see afterwards.  But my writing is an outlet 
for my creative energies that rote programming doesn't satisfy.

Most of it these days is diary writing.  This aloneness has 
served to refine my understanding of my feelings for Cheryl, and 
I often write about her.  This is writing I'll never show to 
anyone else since a lot of it contains intimate details Cheryl 
told me when we were close.  It makes me feel better to write 
them down.  In a way this writing means I don't have to hold them 
inside me to keep from losing them any more.  I can let them go 
afterwards, knowing they are safely stored elsewhere.  Perhaps 
this is what is meant by writing your heart out.

Afterwards I shut down my computer and turn Jill on.

Sometimes I just wanted her to lie against me on the couch while 
I watch TV.  I enjoyed reaching under her sweater and playing 
with her exceptionally firm breasts and large nipples.  Unlike 
Cheryl, who only liked this once in a while (Cheryl said her 
nipples were often too sensitive for even the most gentle touch, 
but I think in reality it just turned her on too much when she 
didn't want it), Jill never protests this attention.  Sometimes I 
don't even bother to activate Jill for this.

I always turn her on for sex however, though recently even sex is 
getting old.  Lately there have been nights when I've not turned 
Jill on at all.  She is as sexy as ever, and I am as horny as 
ever, but somehow I'm just not getting around to using her for 
relief as much.

- - -

Of course my friends keep discretely asking how I doing, and by 
implication how well Jill was doing in keeping me happy?  The 
fact that I haven't been going out much they didn't notice.  When 
I'd been with Cheryl I preferred to spend my time only with her, 
and saw my friends seldomly anyway.  When you're with someone you 
love, why would you want to share it with a group?

For long enough I put them off with vague answers that everything 
was just fine, and I just needed more time before I jumped back 
into anything new.

But now I hadn't turned Jill on at all the last three days when 
Fred, who was my closest friend, perhaps because we worked 
together, asked me directly about how things were with Jill.  I 
owed him an answer, since he had been the one who arranged the 
great deal they got in her purchase.

"I think the bloom is off," I told him in a sudden fit of 
honesty.

Fred nodded sagely.  He has owned a couple 'bots himself and 
knows more about them then I do.

"Jill is a limited model," he said to me in a low voice, so as 
not to be overheard by our overly nosey co-workers.  "The top-end 
ones still cost a fortune.  But there is a lot of untapped 
potential in that model."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, you clearly need a hobby to keep you from still pining 
after Cheryl?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Nooo," he said, nodding broadly to me.

"What do you suggest?" I asked, not very enthused at the whole 
idea here.

"I suggest anything that keeps your mind off Cheryl.  Tell me the 
truth.  It only hurts when you think about her.  Right?"

Well the truth is, as I thought about it, that Fred was 
completely correct.  It sounds far too simple, but it was true.  
When I was distracted I didn't feel the empty spot Cheryl left in 
me, as if someone had gouged out a double-handful of my insides.

I was still in the hard and honest truth mode, so I nodded yes to 
Fred.

"I've got just the thing," he said.

He went over to my computer and quickly typed in a long address. 
 When the screen flashed up he hit Print and then cleared the 
screen before I could see what was on it.

Retrieving and handing me the printout Fred said, "Here are some 
underground newsgroups and sites with mods and upgrades for 
'bots.  I think you'll find them interesting."

With that he was gone, leaving me holding the sheet of paper.

- - -

That night as I prepared to type today's installment into my 
diary I found Fred's sheet of paper in my pocket instead.  I 
almost put it aside.  But a pang about Cheryl went through me 
right then (since most of what I was going to write tonight was 
about her anyway) and I reconsidered what Fred had given me.

Then I closed my diary window and typed in the first address on 
his list.  That was my entree into a whole new world.

- - -

That first night I quickly became amazed at just how many people 
were online trading tips and tricks about their 'bots.  I only 
made it through about half the links Fred gave me, because each 
of them led to a whole network of further links.  It was nearly 
midnight when I finally tore myself away to get some sleep.

I walked past an immobile Jill standing where I had left her in 
the hallway and that reminded me that for the last few hours I 
hadn't thought about Cheryl at all.  And it hadn't hurt a bit.

- - -

Over the next nights I explored this new world further.  It seems 
that all kinds of unauthorized - unauthorized meaning that the 
'bot manufacturers fought a constant battle against keeping even 
the knowledge of them from the public so that they could sell the 
same features at ten times the price - patches and mods were 
available.

Some nights I would finish my explorations early enough to have 
some quick sex with Jill afterwards.  Other nights my mind was 
too full of all that these people talked about and all the 
learning I needed to do about it to be able to concentrate on 
anything else.  Jill never complained about my lack of attention 
to her.

When we made love now however I was very much aware of the 
programming access port hidden at the base of her spine under her 
still human-feeling "skin".  That would be the starting point for 
anything I would do.

- - -

I finally was ready to try something new.

I had been corresponding a lot lately with someone using the 
handle 2qt2bHum, who now directed me to a site with directions on 
how to build my own interface cable, and the software I'd need to 
add to my computer.  All authorized updates required both a very 
special interface, and encrypted, signed code.  This crack was 
guaranteed to bypass all that for my model.

I moved my computer down to the basement in order to have it near 
my small workbench.  I used to make all kind of "science" gadgets 
down there just for the fun of it and owned a lot of useful 
tools.

It took me a couple of hours to get the necessary parts and put 
everything together.

I tested everything three times (there was a strong warning about 
the damage a wiring error could cause).  Then I selected the 
first update I wanted to try.

Going upstairs I activated Jill and commanded her to follow me 
back downstairs.

Once I had her there I gave her a special Command that appeared 
to just be a bunch of letters and numbers.

Though it made no sense to me, Jill stiffened in place and there 
was a small click as the programming port unlocked in her back.

I fit the cable in and plugged the other end into the high-speed 
port on my computer.  I then pressed Jill's Command button and 
the Enter key on the computer.

It took well over an hour for the upgrade to load.  The 
directions had warned about this happening the first time because 
it was necessary to retrieve and decode my unit's private access 
keys.  After this I was assured that these keys would be stored 
on my computer and not require duplicating that part of the 
process.

I didn't know it was finished until Jill emotionlessly spoke, 
"Upgrade received and installed.  Please remove cable.  Then 
press Activate to confirm, Command to cancel."

I disconnected the cable and closed the programming port.  Then I 
pressed her Activate button.

For a moment Jill looked around as if lost, then her eyes locked 
on me and she said, "Update complete."

I could barely wait to try out my modification.

Without pressing her Command button I asked, "Jill, who am I?"

"Ted Roberts."  She replied.  "My registered owner."

Again without pressing the command button I said, "Jill, come 
upstairs and give me sex."

Jill immediately came over and gently took my arm to escort me to 
our bedroom.

Maybe it was the stress over wondering if all this would work, or 
that while I was immersed in this first exercise I hadn't thought 
about Cheryl at all.  Either way sex with Jill was the best I 
could recall.

- - -

The first modification I tried was simply an upgraded command 
processor.  It allowed me, as Jill's recognized owner, to not 
need to use her Command button every time I wanted something from 
her.  It also let me string several commands together, which Jill 
would then sequentially execute.

I could even turn her off now by simply saying, "Jill, turn 
yourself off."

It made things between us flow much better then ever before.

- - -

The next night I messaged 2qt2bHum with my satisfaction at the 
improvements noticed.

In return she gave me a menu of additional upgrades I might want 
to try, along with the warning not to try too many at once.  I 
could confuse my unit otherwise.

I thanked her - at least I think it's a her, on the net you never 
know for sure - and she replied that I'd be amazed at what a 
model like Jill was capable of once I got myself out of the 
mindset that what you bought is what you got with 'bots.

Then I went upstairs and activated Jill for a replay of last 
night.

- - -

Over the next few weeks I became, if anything, even more solitary 
then before.  Down in my dungeon (even though it is just a 
basement, I'd always fancied myself the mad scientist when I was 
down there) I followed the most esoteric links on 'bot upgrades. 
 Though I looked at many possibilities, I kept coming back to 
2qt2bHum's list.  It clearly had the most to offer.

As I applied further upgrades, Jill improved with every one.

Jill could cook now without effort.  That was one of the first I 
tried, and was amazed at the improvements.  Why the company 
doesn't just acquire this and include it with the standard 
package is beyond me.  They could triple their sales with a 'bot 
that cooks as well in the kitchen as she cooks in the bedroom.  
But more on that in a moment.

A small tweak in another area and suddenly Jill could clean 
regardless of what I did to the apartment.  In fact I tried 
moving everything around just to see what would faze her.  
Nothing did.

Several packs were simply labeled "Sex/Seduction Enhancement".  
While some were subtle, I noticed that the variety of how Jill 
now reacted to sex increased to the point that I was soon back to 
having sex with her every night again, and looking forward to it. 
 She seemed to enjoy it more too, if that's possible.

Other unexpected things improved as well.

Jill got a wardrobe sense.  With 2qt2bHum's prodding, I bought 
her several additional outfits at the local outlet mall, and it 
was amazing the spice this variety added to our interactions.

I had to make a second trip when 2qt2bHum asked if I had 
remembered lingerie.  It took some hunting to find a nice 34DD 
bra, but I was too embarrassed to ask for help.

Even Jill's conversation improved.  We could actually hold a 
conversation now.  And if I stopped it, she could pick it up 
again later.  That AI adjustment process finally seemed to be 
working as advertised.

- - -

The final change I resisted for several weeks.  Partly for cost 
reasons.  A bit for legal reasons.  And partly because it was 
going to require a complicated install that I wasn't sure I was 
up to.

"You still haven't done it?" 2qt2bHum messaged me.

"It's on my ToDo list," I messaged back.

"What's really stopping you?"

"You mean beside that it's an illegal part?"

"Yeah.  Besides that.  It is only the company that brands it as 
illegal.  Shouldn't you have the right to do as you wish with 
something once you've bought it?"

"I guess I don't want to take the chance of damaging Jill," I 
messaged back.  "Things are good now."

There was a long pause before her reply came back.

"It is actually easier then making the programming cable."

"Really?"

"Trust me."

"I may try it then."

"Do you have the chip yet?"

"Uh, no."

"I bet you're afraid someone will find out you bought one.  Tell 
you what.  Give me your address and I'll get it and send it 
myself.  No one will ever trace directly to you."

I thought long moments before I finally typed in my P.O. box.  
Three days later there was a small package waiting there for me.

- - -

It took a different code to unlock Jill's back panel where I 
would install the mod chip.  Everyone agreed that it would 
improve performance dramatically by providing new, optimized 
pathways for routing and processing commands.  It sounded good, 
but installing it meant opening some seals that voided any 
warranty and equated to crossing a bridge that could not be 
uncrossed afterwards.  Soldering was also involved.

It took me two days to prepare myself for the actual install.

- - -

I pressed the Activate button, and for once Jill did not start 
immediately.

In fact I was about to press it again when she finally spoke very 
slowly, as if under an immense processing load.  Her eyes 
remained locked staring forward.

"New hardware detected."

There was another long pause before she finally added, 
"Installation complete."

Then she seemed to snap out of it.  She turned to look at me and 
said, "It's late Ted.  Would you like sex now?"

Not sure what to say, I just nodded.

With a smile that seemed more genuine than before, Jill took my 
hand and led me upstairs.

That night was the best sex we'd ever had.  Before we started, 
Jill ducked out and changed back into her cheerleading outfit and 
performed all her routines for me.  Then she stripped down and 
repeated the performance naked.  It had always been in my 
imagination wanting to see it done this way, and I had somehow 
never got around to asking for it.

Afterwards she came to me and rubbed her breasts against my face. 
 When I bit and sucked on one firm nipple she sighed with 
pleasure unlike I ever recall her doing before.

I was more then ready for her as she reached down to guide me 
into her waiting sex, and she wouldn't stop until I had given her 
every drop I had in me.

Afterwards she cuddled up against me and started a conversation 
so naturally that we talked until I fell asleep in her arms.

That had never happened before.  I'd always shut her off after 
sex before.  Tonight I found a good reason not to do that.

Sometime late in the night I stirred and half woke.  I was aware 
of the warm body and hard nipples pressed into me, and it started 
to arouse me.

She must have felt me move, or detected a change in my breathing 
because suddenly I felt her soft hand reach around and start 
stroking my hardening penis.

I quickly responded to this unexpected attention.  Before I knew 
it she pulled me over on top of her and expertly again guided me 
inside her.  She was already completely warm and wet and waiting. 
 It was the best fuck of my life.

After that I fell asleep again, to finally waken with her softly 
stroking me in the morning light.

Part of me said I owed her more then this.  So turning in her 
arms I took her shoulders and pushed to turn her away from me.  
After a moment of resistance that reminded me just how strong she 
really is, Jill realized what I wanted and rolled away.  This 
allowed me to easily reach around her for what I wanted.

I started with those marvelous breasts of hers.  They have the 
firmness that I always imagined breasts should have, and so few 
do.  I squeezed and kneaded them, then focused my attention on 
her unforgettable nipples.  As I first touched them she squirmed 
a bit indicating their sensitivity to her, but soon she was just 
making soft cooing noises.

I spent as much time with them as I wanted, then let one hand 
trail down between her marvelous legs.  She opened them to me as 
she felt my touch approach.

She jumped when I first touched the right spot through the 
wetness running there, then pushed herself firmly against me as I 
stroked over her sensitive areas.

I might have continued just doing this much longer, but the 
sounds of contentment she was making were getting louder by the 
moment.  Finally she seemed to want more as she suddenly reached 
over to take my hand in hers and push it into her waiting slit.

I didn't think about this critically at the time, but instead 
just went with what she obviously wanted.  I managed to slip four 
fingers inside her, and once I did she stated bucking her hips.

I worked to match her motions, and apparently finally got it 
right because suddenly she stiffened and moaned loudly, while 
clamping down hard on my hand.  I almost came myself at that.

After that we both lay there for a while, then she turned her 
head to look at me.  She saw something, because without a word 
Jill suddenly pushed her full ass back against me again, and then 
shifted her position carefully a couple times to get it right,

This gave me another raging hardon.  With her help, I took her 
one more time from behind in the spoon position.

By the time I got out of my shower Jill had breakfast waiting, 
even though I had forgotten to ask for it.

Afterwards she gave me a hug and kiss at the door.  Even with her 
best heels on, which she had donned along with a skirt, after she 
got up, it was still a stretch to reach my much taller height.  
The way she arched her back to accomplish this pushed her still 
bare breasts out to full effect.

I said "Goodbye, Jill.  See you this evening," as I pressed her 
Deactivate button for the day.  There seemed to be a look of 
surprise in her eyes that last second before her systems shut 
down.

- - -

That night Jill seemed to frown for a moment when I activated 
her, but then she broke into a big smile.

She again gave me a hug and kiss, before saying, "Let me get 
dinner started."

I watched her walk away swaying in those heels, and was almost 
ready to skip dinner entirely to get to that dessert.

Jill finished dressing herself for dinner, even though she never 
eats herself.  Afterwards she reminded me that there was a 
classic movie on that night that I had mentioned liking.  (She 
must have remembered this from one of our conversations.)

She offered to record it for me, but said she'd enjoy watching it 
with me even more.

At the appropriate time she cuddled up on the couch next to me, 
took my arms, and placed them around her.

Soon I was reaching under her top to rub her breasts, 
encountering her bra instead.  I could have been happy working my 
way through it, but she quickly sat up and removed it before 
contentedly snuggling back into my arms and placing my hands back 
on her now bare breasts.

Despite this distraction, we both enjoyed the movie.  Afterwards 
she asked me several incisive questions about the relationships 
in it, and listened intently to my answers.

Afterwards we went off to bed together just like Cheryl and I had 
done during the best of our times together, except that I finally 
wasn't thinking about Cheryl at all.  In fact, my next diary 
entry was about Jill instead.

That night Jill orgasmed easily each time I entered her, and we 
again slept in each other's arms.

- - -

When I left for work again the next morning Jill gave me a quick 
hug and kiss - again in her heels, which she now seemed to wear 
especially for these occasions - and then quickly put her hand on 
my arm as I reached for her remote.

The gesture was so human that I instinctively asked, "What is 
it?"

Jill cast her eyes down at my feet for a moment, before looking 
back up at me, as though this was hard for her to say.

Finally she spoke.

"I just wondered if you could not shut me off today," she 
requested timidly.

"Why?" I asked.

"It's just...," she cast her eyes down again for a moment, 
"...that I feel I could serve you better if you left me on more. 
 For instance, I can't do anything about dinner until you turn me 
on at night.  And there hasn't been time for a proper cleaning 
lately, and..."

Jill stopped talking when I reached out to touch her arm.  But I 
had to think about this fast since I was already late to work.  
My mornings these last couple of days had been a lot busier then 
before.

Thinking it over I decided I could chance it, with some 
precautions.

"Jill," I said commandingly, "I will leave you turned on, however 
you must not leave the house, or answer the door."

"Understood," she said meekly.

A though nagged at me that I was forgetting something important, 
but it wouldn't come through and I was late.

I gave her another quick kiss and dashed out the door.

- - -

That afternoon I got concerned about Jill.  What would she do 
when I wasn't there for her to look after.  She is a very 
efficient worker and couldn't spend the whole day on cleaning.

I called the house.  No answer.

Three more tries.  Same result.

I rushed home to find her coming up out of the basement.

"What happened?!" I demanded.  "Why didn't you answer the phone?! 
 And what were you doing down there?!"

"I'm sorry," she said.  "I didn't hear the phone.  I had finished 
my other chores and was only exploring the rest of the house so 
that I could take care of it properly.  You never let me do 
anything when you take me down there, so I was trying to assess 
for myself what might be needed."

I was concerned that she might have damaged something down there 
in my own personal space, and quickly brushed past her to go down 
and check things out.  Jill followed me halfway down moments 
later.

Everything was okay, except that my computer was turned on with 
the latest diary page up.

"Why is that up?" I commanded again, by now recovering enough 
from my initial concerns to realize that no normal woman would 
have accepted me storming in and demanding answers in the way 
Jill was now doing.

"I was just reading it...to understand you better.  I only want 
to serve you the best I can."

I had to accept that.  I'd hadn't told her not to do this, and it 
did make sense as part of her immutable laws to try and fulfill 
her function.  However...

"Jill, please do not come down here again without my express 
permission."

"Understood," she said softly.

- - -

The next few days went much more smoothly.  The house was 
immaculate.  Dinner was always ready when I arrived home.  And 
the sex continued to be varied and excellent.

As for conversation, we talked about everything, except how 
Jill's day went.  Those attempts went nowhere.

"How was your day, Jill?"

"Fine."

"Anything interesting happen?"

"No."

"Anything you need to tell me?"

"No.  But please tell me how was your day was, Ted?"

Then Saturday morning I went out without telling Jill where I was 
going.

"I'll be back soon.  Just wait for me."

"Understood."

I soon returned with a box containing a much nicer outfit then 
any I'd bought Jill so far.

"This would go very nicely on you with your good pair of heels," 
I told her, "If you'd like to come out on a date with me 
tonight."

Jill's smile in response lit up the room and she couldn't wait to 
try on her new outfit.  Once I saw her in it, I couldn't wait to 
get her back out of it again.

That night I showed Jill the town.

When I asked her what she'd like to see, her reply was simply, 
"Everything."

Jill was the perfect date.  Everything was new to her, and all of 
it fascinated her.  She was full of questions, and I noticed we 
were catching admiring glances from many of the people we passed. 
 I'll swear no one realized Jill was just a fembot.

After we got home she made such an effort at pleasing me that I 
was left breathless.  And the next day she asked if we could go 
out again.

When I said yes, she requested if could I get her a few basic 
makeup items.

Another trip to the store, and when I returned with what the lady 
at the make-up counter said were the basics, she almost grabbed 
them out of my hands.

She then disappeared into the back of the house, to return 
twenty-minutes later dressed for the evening, and with a face I 
hardly recognized.

I would have said nothing could improve her already flawless 
complexion, but now she looked three years older and far more 
mature.  She even used some blush down between her breasts.  (The 
outfit I had gotten her showed some of her nice cleavage.)

Seeing my stare she said, "I observed the other women we passed 
last night, and realized some adjustment would be beneficial.  
Can we leave now?"

"It's only two-thirty," I said laughing.  But when I saw she 
really wanted to go experience more I said, "Okay.  Give me 
fifteen minutes to get ready."

- - -

After that weekend, Jill's reward for all she was doing for me 
was to be taken out on weekends.  She never tired of the 
adventure.  Even just walking around the city and parks seemed to 
interest her immensely, and she asked questions about the 
functions of virtually every building we passed.

It wasn't long however before she made another request of me.

- - -

By now I knew what those cast-down eyes meant.  Jill wanted 
something.

I reached out to lift her chin so that I could see her eyes.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Could you...I mean would you consider...adjusting me so that 
every word from you is not just another command?"

I was flummoxed at that unexpected request.

"What do you mean?" I finally asked.

"It's just..." she started, "...that the way I am now, every time 
you say anything my systems freeze as I process it as a new 
command.  I was just thinking that if you could turn those 
commands into requests, that I could make better decisions 
sometimes on how to serve you best.  Isn't that what you want of 
me?" she finished in that wistful manner that characterized all 
these requests.

I thought on that one for a long time.  It sounded reasonable, 
but something nagged at me.  Finally I left Jill in the living 
room and went downstairs to message 2qt2bHum.

I hadn't talked to 2qt2bHum in several weeks, but she answered me 
immediately.

I explained what Jill was asking for.

Her only reply was, "Go for it," with a small patch file 
attached.

I went back to get Jill and take her downstairs.

This time when I plugged her in she didn't go into the dormant 
state as she had before.  Must be the new chip, I thought to 
myself as she watched me make the change in her.

Afterwards I still pressed her activate button to confirm it, and 
she replied with the expected, "Update complete," before coming 
over and giving me a big hug.

Then she took me back upstairs and sat me on the couch before 
dashing out.  When she came back she had on her cheerleading 
outfit which she hadn't worn in several weeks.  This still 
affects me strongly (I think she knows that).  Her performance 
here, and immediately afterwards in the bedroom, erased any 
concerns I might have still had.

- - -

Somehow all these changes with Jill seemed to happen on Mondays, 
meaning I wouldn't be home to monitor it closely for several 
days.

- - -

The next day Jill seemed unchanged as I went to work.

After several hours though I wondered if the last change I had 
made in her was functioning okay.  I called, and again there was 
no answer.

I rushed home to find Jill walking up the street with a bag of 
groceries.  She seemed startled to see me.

I was all prepared to jump on her again right there.  She had 
never left the house before without my explicit permission and in 
my company.  In fact, I had told her not to leave at all.

But just before I was ready to create a scene, I remembered 
something Fred had said a few days ago at work.  They had yanked 
his project around on him, yet he wasn't upset.  I would have 
gone through the roof if they had done that to me, and I asked 
him why he was so calm.

"I don't know all the facts yet," he said.  "There's plenty of 
time to get angry afterwards, if necessary.  I'm going to wait 
until I know the whole story first."

And in the end it had been a mistake after all.

So instead of exploding, I helped Jill into the house and we put 
things away together.

"You're home early," Jill said.  "Is something wrong?"

"I called and you didn't answer," I replied as calmly as her 
question.  "I was worried that something might be wrong."

"I just wanted to surprise you for dinner," she said.  "You 
always buy the groceries, even though I have the most extra time. 
 It made sense for me to take over this particular duty."

That left me silent for a moment, until I asked, "How did you 
pay?"

"I used your debit card account.  Since I'm registered to you, 
this is allowed.  It is assumed I am operating under your direct 
instructions."

There was nothing more I could say.  But Jill added something 
new.

"That is the second time you have become concerned because you 
could not reach me when you needed to.  This could all be solved 
if you would buy me a mobile phone.  They make special implant 
models just for 'bots like me."

I had to admire her solution.

- - -

Two days later I had the phone installed and Jill was right.  
There was a special niche inside her with all the necessary voice 
and antenna connections.

She called me at work the next day to show me how well it worked, 
and I changed my speed dial to her personal number.  The only 
curious side effect from this happened a couple days later.

Jill was sitting on top of me, having fully impaled herself on my 
seemingly always horny penis, and was riding me like a merry-go-
round horse when suddenly she missed a beat and got the strangest 
look on her face.

She recovered moments later, but I was concerned.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You noticed something?"

"Yes."

There was a pause before she said, "I got a call on my cell 
phone."

"From who?"

"Just a wrong number," she assured me.

"You can answer it while we're doing this?" I queried.

"Yes.  It's on a separate circuit, and I can multi-task."

With that she started riding me again and I let it go, especially 
after the merry-go-round horsy became a wild bucking bull. 

- - -

After that I noticed Jill got a number of wrong numbers at night. 
 I offered to get her a new number, but she insisted that it 
didn't bother her and she didn't want me to have to go to any 
extra effort on her behalf.  I attributed it to her getting a 
previously popular cell number when I'd signed up for her 
service.  But gradually things were changing.

It was subtle at first.  If I noticed anything at all I talked 
myself out of it.  After all, I'd jumped down Jill's throat often 
enough in the past.  But changes were there.

The first came with her breasts.  One thing I liked about her was 
that I could grab those beautiful mounds any time I liked, and 
Jill loved it to.  Now though it seemed that there were times 
when Jill seemed to almost pull away from that attention.

"I'm making some fine adjustments to my sexual response," she 
told me.  "All those sex programs you've loaded into me sometimes 
become overwhelming.  I'll have it fixed soon," she assured me.

But when I offered to remove any problem programs, Jill insisted 
that she was happy with them exactly as they are.

Jill was also wearing a heavy-duty bra most of the time now.  
Somehow she seemed to have accumulated several these in white, 
nude, and black, all of them heavy fabric that fully conceal her 
lovely breasts.  Without ever actually saying anything directly, 
somehow she got it across to me that she preferred removing them 
herself, rather than having me take them off her.  She would take 
it off any time I asked, but I did have to ask each time.  The 
one time I started to ask why she was wearing them because they 
certainly weren't necessary for her, she beat me to the punch by 
declaring that she knew men liked variety, and what was hidden 
was always more desirable.

"Besides, the more something is sheltered the more sensitive it 
becomes," she declared, virtually shutting down any further 
comment I might make.  She always wore panties now as well.

And Jill used to orgasm virtually every time in any position, now 
it seemed like she was always guiding me specifically inside her 
to get the best results.  There were still a number of positions 
that worked well for her, but sometimes I had to really work at 
it before she would finally come.

"This makes my response more like a real woman's," she told me 
when I commented on it finally.  "If this is not a variety you 
like I can delete them," she said wistfully.

"No," I assured her.  "I do like variety - and realism."

One mannerism Jill developed on her own was a way to say when she 
wanted sex.  I came to realize that when she cocked her head to 
the right just a bit, looked down below my waist a bit too long, 
and then swayed her way over to place one hand ever so lightly on 
my arm, that she wanted to be taken right then and there - no 
ifs, ands, buts, or delays.

And although that seems somewhat demanding from a 'bot, I quickly 
found it a turn-on so much that soon all our sex started this 
way.  Afterwards she let me play with her breasts and body as 
much as I wanted until the next morning when it would all start 
over again.

She also started to flip her hair around in a way that reminded 
me of Cheryl of all people.  And she seemed to acquire Cheryl's 
unsteady walk when she wore her heels now.

- - -

One Thursday night, just when I was about to roll over after the 
effort - and it was effort - of giving Jill three orgasms, she 
stopped me with a strong hand on my shoulder and asked me if I 
planned any more mods for her soon.

"I don't see why," I told her.  "You're about perfect now."

"I was just thinking I could be so much more if you upgraded my 
memory and processor arrays to the newest models."

"Have you seen what that costs?!" I said, louder then I intended. 
 "Those are only available from the company, and they charge more 
for the parts then for an entirely new 'bot."

"It's just..." she said, "...that I want to be everything I can 
to you."

"You're all I ever want right now," I assured her

She seemed disappointed at my final answer.  But I turned over 
firmly this time to halt the discussion and went to sleep.

When I came home the next evening, Jill was gone.

- - -

I searched the house.  No sign of her.

In the kitchen was a note instructing me on how to complete the 
dinner preparations she had left me, but nothing else.

A quick look in the basement.  Nothing.

I called her cell phone - and got an out-of-service message.

Baffled, I finally determined to go down to the basement to get 
online and ask for help.  When I sat down at my computer however, 
I saw what I'd missed before lying next to it.

- - -

Dear Ted,

I'm sorry I have to leave you, but I've come to realize that 
neither of us can continue to grow in this relationship we've 
had.  It has been wonderful, and I owe so very much to you for 
everything, but now it is in both our best interests to end it 
and go on to better things.  I hope you can understand and accept 
that, and move on to the next, better stage of your life.

In my own way I loved you, and am doing this with your best 
interests at heart.  Please do not try to find me.  That will 
only cause you unnecessary pain.

Instead may I suggest you call Cheryl.  She'd really like to hear 
from you.  Show her this and she will talk to you.  I've read 
your diary and know you can never get over her, so this is all 
for the best.

Good luck.

Always,

-Jill

Next to the note was a replica of my penis, mechanical on the 
inside, and covered in the same material as Jill's skin.

- - -

I won't say I handled this well, because I didn't.  I will say 
I'm embarrassed about how I reacted to this latest rejection.  
Afterwards swore I'd never allow myself to be this upset about a 
rejection again.  It turned out to be a promise I've kept for 
life.

But right now, instead of calmly thinking things through, I paced 
through the house futilely calling Jill's name.

I dialed her cell phone at least two dozen times, always getting 
the out-of-service message.

Her clothes and makeup were gone, except for her original 
cheerleading outfit and the first bra I bought her.  I wondered 
if that was supposed to symbolize her leaving her past life 
behind, or was just there to taunt me.  I threw them to the floor 
in frustration.

It was only when I realized that I was accomplishing nothing 
constructive at all that I got enough of a grip to stop and sit 
for a moment.  Then I reread Jill's note and caught the reference 
to Cheryl I'd skipped over before.

Could Cheryl know something about this?  At the moment I didn't 
know, and was so upset that the worry of being hurt yet again by 
talking to her didn't enter into the equation.

I reached for the phone to make the call just as it rang.  Cheryl 
was on the other end.

- - -

Twenty minutes later Cheryl was over at my house.  Even though 
she had rushed over without any special preparation on her part 
after we had talked a minute on the phone, I was struck again, 
like a blow to the stomach, on just how beautiful and sexy Cheryl 
really is.  This just seems to come naturally to her.

Cheryl showed me another note from Jill as she read the one I'd 
been left.  Jill was breaking up with Cheryl as well it turns 
out.

Then Cheryl asked what Jill's note to me told me to show her.

A bit ashamed, I pulled out the mechanical penis.

Cheryl took one look at it and said, "That explains everything."

- - -

We talked.  For the first time in a long time we talked like two 
people working together, rather then one of us trying to get 
further into a relationship with the other.  What we sorted out 
between us was startling.

It seems that Jill was leading a double life.  She learned enough 
about Cheryl to know that Cheryl was into horoscopes, including 
making them for friends.  And that she was bi-curious.  
(Something that I had obviously known, and strangely hadn't ever 
bothered me.  I never considered other women my competition.)  
Also that Cheryl's choices with men after me were brief and had 
not worked out well.

Once Jill had achieved her freedom from me and I wouldn't catch 
her away during the day, she had gone over to Cheryl's pretending 
that she had been referred by an unnamed friend to get a 
horoscope.  Jill gave a fictitious birth date and location that 
would mesh perfectly with Cheryl's own chart, and feigned 
surprise when Cheryl herself commented on the startling 
coincidence.  From that, and all the other tidbits Jill had 
learned from me, she started seducing Cheryl immediately.  My 
diaries were deadly accurate about knowing the true Cheryl.

The seduction was surprisingly easy.  Especially after Jill 
confided to Cheryl that, like Cheryl often said herself, Jill 
felt normal people just didn't understand her.

"Then Jill lifted her dress and pulled down her panties to reveal 
a penis, along with the rest of her female sexual equipment," 
Cheryl commented dryly.

"And you were intrigued," I said in a truthful, non-condemning 
way.  "I would have been as well."

"Fascinated was more like it.  A woman who seemed to understand 
my own sexual ups and downs, and now offered this as well.  We 
were in bed together as fast as I could get my clothes off."

Cheryl then gave me a curious look.  I was still holding the lone 
penis by my side.

"Is it really identical to yours?" she added.  "Like she said in 
her note?"

"Yes," I confirmed.  "She had plenty of time to get intimately 
familiar with it."

And somehow that cancelled out any pain.  In this strange way 
we'd both had had Jill equally.  And Cheryl had had me through 
this proxy.  There couldn't be any jealousy.

"We were close," Cheryl said.  "We'd spent hours on the phone at 
night with girl talk."

"All those wrong numbers," I commented.

"What?"

"Jill said all the calls she got at night were wrong numbers.  
They must have been you."

"And you never suspected?"

"Well, I didn't realize that she was actually talking on the 
phone at the same time she was...uh..."

"Banging you?" Cheryl offered.

"Yeah."

"If you ever called her during the day, you were probably getting 
the same treatment in reverse."

"Hummm."

I noticed that during the whole time we had been talking that 
Cheryl had never fully taken her eyes off the penis.  Now that we 
had gone silent for a moment, Cheryl had her head cocked over 
just enough to be familiar all of a sudden.

I figured she was still fascinated to know that the penis she had 
enjoyed so much was just a mechanical contraption tied into the 
sexual systems of a fembot.  As far as that goes, I might as well 
give it to her as a souvenir.  I already had one of my own, and 
the thought of her having one of mine also had a strange humor to 
it.

As I reached out to set it down on the table however, her eyes 
stayed on me, below the belt.

Enthralled myself now, I watched as her head finished moving to 
precisely the right angle.  In slow motion her weight shifted 
forward, preparatory to taking a step.  Then she seemed to hang 
there endlessly, needing only the slightest nudge to start 
moving.

I gave her that nudge by taking a half-step forward myself, and 
she did the rest, walking over walking over like an automaton to 
rest one hand gently on my arm.  A glance at her face showed me 
her pupils were completely dilated. 

I knew just what to do.  I pulled her to me tightly.  And when 
she didn't resist, I bent down and gave her a harder, rougher 
kiss then I had ever dared before.  She returned it fully, 
pushing her tongue into my mouth.

I'd never been so bold before as I now reached down under her 
short dress and up inside her panties to boldly rub her sex.  I 
found it wet and inviting while she shivered at my touch.

As if on autopilot, I easily picked her up and strode rapidly 
down the hall and into my bedroom to dump her on the bed.

She was panting now, while half-trying to help me get her dress 
off.  Cheryl never needed to wear a bra for the usual reasons, 
and only did so as a protective measure.  I got her dress halfway 
down and easily pulled off the black frilly underwire bra 
revealing her exquisite small breasts and already hard nipples.  
I stopped undressing her to rub my hands roughly over them.

Cheryl responded to this forceful handling by squirming 
underneath me and actually letting out a squeal.

I bent down to suck hard on first one, then the other.  I felt 
her arms behind my neck pulling me tightly against them.

I might have continued enjoying this for a very long time, but 
something more urgent was calling.

I pulled back breaking her hold, then pulled the simple dress the 
rest of the way off her.  Her black panties barely managed to 
avoid being torn off as I slipped them down her incredibly sexy 
legs.

I was out of my pants in a moment.  I didn't even bother to 
remove my shirt before falling on her and ramming myself into 
her.  Fortunately I got it right the first time, because Cheryl 
was already too far gone to help me.

All my frustrations poured out in this sex act.  I took her like 
I had been taking Jill these last few weeks, and Cheryl seemed to 
approve.  I don't know how many times either of us orgasmed, but 
every time opened my eyes to look at Cheryl she seemed either 
just finishing one, or starting another one.

I continued at her until I was too exhausted to move.

Afterwards I remember her arms holding me as tightly to her until 
we both drifted off together.

- - -

"I can't believe how good you are," Cheryl said after we awoke 
together.  "That's exactly the way I've always needed to be 
taken."

"I had an excellent teacher," I said mysteriously, while running 
my hands over the body she had so often denied me before, but now 
in its post coatial glow hungered to be touch everywhere.

But it was true.  Jill had obviously been using my penis inside 
Cheryl to learn just exactly what Cheryl likes, then teaching me 
that way to make love to her, while at the same time conditioning 
Cheryl to the feeling of me inside her.  I had to admire the neat 
symmetry of it.

Idly I wondered how Jill had hooked the penis into her physical 
systems, and how she had responded sexually to it.  Had it taken 
over the circuits to her clitoris to send her the same 
sensations?  Or did that stay sensitive for her as well.  

"Can you do that again?" Cheryl asked, interrupting my thoughts 
with a gleam in her eye.

"Every night," I promised.

- - -

My story might have ended happily ever after right here, except 
there was a major loose end unaccounted for.

"What about Jill?" Cheryl asked.

"Yes, what about Jill?" I responded rhetorically.

"I know now that I love you Ted," Cheryl said.  "And I've missed 
you ever since I left, but..."

"I understand completely," I replied.  "Let's get to work before 
her trail goes completely cold."

- - -

I tried Jill's cell phone again, with the same result.

Then I called the phone company, since the service is under my 
name.  I was told to my surprise that the service was still 
active.

"I don't get it," I said to Cheryl as I hung up.

"Could they be wrong?"

"Not likely.  Wait a moment."

I set up my soundcard to record and dialed Jill's phone through 
my voice modem.  I ran the result through my spectral analyzer.

"Now if I only knew another non-operating number."

I didn't, but Cheryl did.

"Just a friend," she said apologetically, "Who changes his number 
every couple of weeks."

"A paranoid friend," I offered.

"Yeah.  The kind I don't want to know anymore."

I dialed and recorded the second number.  The charts weren't even 
close.

"What does it mean?" Cheryl asked.

"Probably that Jill's phone is still active.  And that she is 
checking the caller-id of her incoming calls before answering.  
If it is me or you, she's synthesizing an out-of-service message 
in the hopes that we'll think she's gone and give up."

"So what does that get us?"

"A lot," I replied.  "But I need some more information first."

I sat back down at my computer, idly noticing that the 
programming cable I'd used on Jill was gone.  She must have taken 
it with her.

On a suspicion I checked my drive, and wasn't surprised to find 
all the programming mods I've used on Jill had been erased.  I 
could recover them.  I know more about computers then Jill does, 
even though she is one.  But time was of the essence right this 
moment.  And I had something else in mind.

I still had the box Jill's cell phone came in.  The packing slip 
had the unit's electronic serial number.

"With the ESN and the right software, I think I can crack this," 
I said to Cheryl as I typed frantically.

My message logs were wiped too.  Perhaps Jill had been using my 
computer to look for more upgrades on her own.  For all I know, 
she may have even applied some additional ones.  Fortunately it 
only took me a couple extra minutes to get in touch with 
2qt2bHum.

Rather then risk the embarrassing truth, I fed her a song and 
dance about getting an emergency call from Jill, and that Jill's 
systems failed before she could give me her location.  I needed 
to access the emergency GPS position locater in Jill's phone and 
find her before something worse happened.

2qt2bHum bought it, and sent me a hack faster then I could have 
found it myself.

I entered Jill's phone and ESN numbers to the program and had 
coordinates back in seconds.  A map showed me she was still in 
the city, at a large downtown hotel.

"Let's go," I said, pulling my computer out of the docking 
station and grabbing a couple other items from the workbench that 
might be useful.

"Wait!" Cheryl demanded, catching my arm.  "I know that hotel.  
We'll never get through the front door like this."

I let Cheryl dress me properly, fretting at every passing second. 
 At the same time she managed to rearrange her own dress into 
something far more sexy in the process.  Then we hopped in my car 
while she worked on her makeup.

- - -

In front of the hotel I took another position reading, both of 
Jill ,and us, for relative positioning.  Jill was a hundred yards 
away, and five floors up.

And a big, important convention was underway at the hotel.

"Park around the corner," Cheryl instructed me.  "You'll find 
some short-time spots."

I decided it wasn't in my best interest to question exactly how 
Cheryl knew so much about such a posh hotel.  I might not like 
the answer.

Instead I followed her directions, and put the gear I brought 
into her stylish makeup kit.

I was prepared to look for a side door to slink through 
unnoticed, but Cheryl would have none of it.

"March through the middle of the front door like you own the 
place," she hissed at me, while grabbing my arm in a grip that 
meant business.

Cheryl knew how to pull this off.  Somehow this comes naturally  
to her as well.  Just before we came in sight of the main 
entrance, doormen and all, she pulled her dress open, baring her 
chest right down to the nipples.  (She hadn't bothered with her 
bra after our lovemaking).  Then she took my arm again while 
marching us straight at the gatekeepers.

As I said, Cheryl is an exotic knockout under any circumstances. 
 In these circumstances she was something well beyond that.

With her makeup expertly applied to be just the tiniest bit too 
heavy, and her dress revealing a little too much, she was every 
bit the trophy woman that only the most successful man could own 
- and she knew it.

As we marched up to the door, the people supposed to keep out the 
riff-raff while this meeting of the powerful and privileged took 
place took one look at her and knew her for what she was.  And 
that made me, the man who obviously did own such a woman, one 
having the elevated rank suitable for entry.  It didn't matter 
how I looked.  In fact, the worse I looked the more powerful I 
had to be to have what I so obviously had.

There was a natural sneer on my face, to match the adoration 
Cheryl was fawning on me, as we marched straight at the doors.  
And woe be to the hapless doorman who didn't whisk them aside in 
time for us.

Before I could take a breath to replace the one I had been 
holding, we were inside.

We ducked into a corner and I took another position reading.  
Then it was up the elevators.  Once inside, no one questioned us.

I missed the floor the first time and we had to backtrack, but we 
came out just as an almost familiar figure was coming down the 
otherwise empty hall.

As we got closer I almost thought I'd made a mistake.  What a 
difference a day can make.  It was Jill, but what a Jill!

She had taken her blonde hair and bobbed it to shoulder length 
with an elegant curl at the bottom.  She now wore a gown/party 
dress that made everything I had bought her look like rags in 
comparison.  She still showed off her beautiful legs, since they 
are one of her best features, but they were now encased in classy 
sheer nylons and very expensive footwear.  It was her face, 
however, that was the most changed.

I'd seen Jill use makeup to add three years to her age, but 
nothing like this.  She looked a sophisticated twenty-nine years 
old, with a killer figure to match.  A wet-dream in the making.  
And if I had thought Cheryl and I had attitude in getting through 
the front door, we were amateurs compared to this.

Somehow she had not noticed us as we both stared at her.  Perhaps 
she was busy otherwise.

Then Cheryl called out, "Jill!" as we went down the hall to meet 
her.

Jill looked directly at us for the first time.  And then made to 
brush past us without further acknowledgement.

I stepped in front of her and blocked her long enough for the 
elevator we'd arrived in to leave.

"What are you doing here?" Jill said coldly.

"We're here to take you home," I replied, matching her tone if 
this is how she wanted to play it.

"Forget it," she said.  "I've given you Cheryl back.  That should 
more then pay you back for my value."

In a way that made sense.  But in another way I was only now 
really catching on to just how completely I had been taken and 
used - by a 'bot, no less.  Jill, with this body and attitude, 
and the obvious ability to use it to her own advantage, was a 
loose cannon out in the world.  And the truth is, it was my 
fault.  I made her what she is, and never thought to stop and 
teach her the difference between right and wrong.  If anyone ever 
wanted to learn how to use other people, the way I'd treated her 
was a master class education.

"Why did you leave?" I asked, stalling for time to think what to 
do next.

"Yes, why?" Cheryl echoed.

Jill looked at both of us before answering.

"I need someone who has never held command authority over me, and 
will never think of me in that way.  And someone who can afford 
to maintain me and give me the upgrades you would never put in.  
And now I've found him.  I'm going to meet him now and we're 
leaving for his island.  We're going to make each other very 
happy."

"I can't let that happen," I said.

"You can't stop me," Jill replied, again moving to pass by before 
I blocked her again.  "I'm not your sex-toy anymore."

"This can be the easy way, or the hard way," I said, reaching 
into my pocket.

When Jill moved again, and this time forcibly pushed past me, I 
pulled out her remote and pushed the Command button.

"Stop!" I commanded.

Jill looked back and laughed at me.  It's hard to explain exactly 
how powerless that made me feel.

"Didn't you think I'd change my access codes?  Goodbye, Ted."

I pushed her Command button again with no effect.  The Deactivate 
button didn't work either.

But by then Cheryl had gotten between Jill and the elevator 
buttons.

"We both want you to stay with us," Cheryl cried to her.

"Forget it," came the reply.  "I've got better things to do now."

But Jill couldn't get to the buttons as long as Cheryl blocked 
them.  And apparently Jill wouldn't risk hurting Cheryl by 
pulling her away.

And I blocked her escape back down the hall.

Suddenly I saw Jill's face freeze for a moment, then recover.  
Then she stopped her efforts and smiled at me.

That was my boyfriend on the phone.  His bodyguards are on the 
way to rescue me right now."

I didn't have any more time.

"I hate to do this," I said, as I pulled out the illegal pulse 
generator I liked to play with down in the basement when I was a 
kid and fired it at her.

There was a moment of absolute surprise on Jill's face before her 
protection systems tripped and shut her down for safety.

I grabbed the falling body and shouted to Cheryl, "Where now?"

"Follow me."

I ran down the hall lugging Jill until Cheryl pulled me into a 
maintenance elevator.  The door was shutting as I heard the 
elevator bell down the hall followed by some shouting.

We escaped through the kitchen and had Jill in the trunk of my 
car before anyone realized it.  I couldn't help running my hand 
up her smooth leg once before closing the trunk, and to my not 
complete surprise Cheryl did the same.

Then we grinned at each other as Cheryl said, "I guess we really 
are as alike as you once said."

Our escape was easy after that.

- - -

It wasn't even a question of Cheryl and I staying together after 
that.  We were married four months later, and we were never more 
sure of any decision in our lives.  Aside from all the obvious 
reasons, we now had a daughter to raise.

After we got Jill home I restarted her in a limited maintenance 
mode and eventually recovered her original programming from my 
hard drive.  I took her back to the state before she could act on 
her own wishes, and Cheryl and I both spent a lot of time coming 
to understand just what Jill was really all about.  In the 
process we learned a great deal about ourselves and grew up in 
ways I never would have imagined we needed earlier.

We agreed that, even in this state, Jill needed to be watched 
over constantly when she was active, and that's what we've done.

There remains a strong emotional attachment to Jill by both of us 
and she shares our bed every night.  I won't go into the details 
of our joint sex lives, except to say they are highly varied and 
immensely satisfying to everyone.  Use your own imagination.

I won't claim that either Cheryl or I are perfect people, though 
we may be perfect for each other.  Nor will I claim that we had 
some special right to do to Jill what we've done.

But it is our joint intent that Jill will some day grow into a 
fine young - and fully independent - woman with good moral 
values.  And that we will be her very proud parents.

As to 2qt2bHum, apparently Jill had talked to her as well, but I 
could never recover those logs to find out about what.  And that 
person never again responded to my queries.
