Hello Mr. Robinson Pt. 11

"Damn, I needed that!" She whispered her lips by my ear.

"Me too, so how was your first time?"

"It hurt, I won't lie. But after a while it felt amazing and when you shot inside my butt I thought I was going to faint. I need to clean up a little. I have sperm leaking out of me."

I sat there quite content as she used a sink to wash up. She returned with a warm wash cloth and cleaned me up. She kissed the head of my dick before tucking it back in and zipped me up. She pulled on the blue robe shakily and stared at me. I could see indecision in her mind. A part of her wanted to fuck more while another part was uncertain and a little scared. I stood up and stood behind her. I kissed her neck as I closed my eyes. I dove into the digital ether. I ran a search for horse farms for sale. Nick had mentioned she liked all things equestrian. I found twenty or so farms that were struggling financially. I had enough money to buy them outright thanks to the Usher family. I made offers on them all. I created a shell company and set up alerts if anyone accepted my offers. I returned to my flesh. August was leaning against me. I opened her robe and cupped her breasts as I nibbled her ear.

"UNNNN... I don't normally do this. I want to trust you. I want you to fuck me again. I want to feel your load hit my pussy walls. I want..."

"A horse farm?"

"How the hell did you know?" She asked spinning to face me.

"I shall quote Nick on this one. She loves everything equestrian. I just put two and two together."

"I used to work on a ranch. It was amazing but it didn't pay enough. That is one of the reasons I went into porn."

"If I were to invest in a horse farm would you manage it for me? I would own it but..."

It was our first kiss. The hunger behind it was blistering. She was tearing at my clothes. Her only thought was my cock inside of her. Once I was naked I grabbed her by her hair. She let out a new sound. I guided her up against the wall and bent her over. She reached back and pulled her ass cheeks apart. I drove my cock into her without using my hands. August howled as I fucked her. There was no love involved it was simply animal passion. I pounded her a little too hard and had to back off. She climaxed three times before I was on the verge.

"Beg me," I growled.

"Please... of god I need it so damn bad! Please shoot it inside of me! I'll do anything you ask... YES!"

My sperm pulsed inside of her silencing her instantly. I ground my cock against her ass as I recovered. I kept my promise to Nick and bone downed until she begged me to stop. I carried her to the bed and tucked her in. I washed up and dressed. The sky was beginning to lighten as Nick's driver dropped me off at my house. Rhea and Isix were waiting for me. I plopped down on the couch and waited for the inevitable which never came. Once they knew I was home safe they left me alone. Any other woman would have lost their shit and screamed bloody murder. Rhea just smiled happy that I had an enjoyable evening with Nick and an unknown female. I checked my schedule and there was nothing on it for today. What the hell was I going to do with an entire day off? Maybe Rhea or Isix might have a few suggestions. I got to my feet and whistling a little tune I headed upstairs.

"Hey Rhea... I have a day off. Do you have any suggestions?" I said before opening the door and seeing the state of our bedroom. "Oh damn... I guess that answers my question. No, don't move, I'll just uh slide on in."

Greg and Gregory:

The doorbell rang promptly at eight in the morning. Isix answered the door. I was eating breakfast when Isix and the strange young woman walked into the kitchen. I looked up from my cereal and the spoon fell from my fingers. It took me a few seconds to get my shit together. Rhea looked over her shoulder from her place at the stove when she heard the spoon clatter to the table. She simply smiled at the young woman and returned to fixing her omelet. I wiped the milk from my chin and asked Isix who are guest was.

"Oh, this is Aislinn Wu your new assistant. She says that she is going to take up the slack while you focus on Project Solaris."

"It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Robinson." Aislinn said and I felt something inside of me melt.

"Nick picked you out personally didn't he." I said and Aislinn nodded. "Did he interview you or just check out your qualifications?"

"Both," she replied. "He searched the employee database to narrow down certain skill sets. He then did one on one interviews after that. MMM... is that bacon?"

"Sit," Rhea said with a flourish of her hand. "I fixed enough for everyone. Where are you going to be staying Aislinn?"

"Oh, I thought you knew. Nick said I would be staying here. If that is okay."

"The more the merrier." I said as Rhea and Isix started laughing. "Screw you two... you knew she was coming didn't you!? What are your qualifications Aislinn?"

She listed off her skills but I did notice a certain lack of experience. Her background and language set made her ideal and she would earn some serious real-world involvement. I would let her shadow me until I felt she could handle meetings on her own. I prayed she was a quick study. There were a ton of minor players I could pass off to her when the time comes. I would still deal directly with the Joint Chiefs, NASA, and of course the President. The four of us were seated around the kitchen table and the mind speech between Rhea and Isix was quite active. I didn't listen in. If they wanted to add me they would do so. Aislinn finished her breakfast and stood up. She removed her suit jacket, unbuttoned her sleeves, and rolled them up. She rinsed her dirty dishes and as we finished she would walk around and take care of ours. I noted her proactive personality and put that in the plus column.

"My personal belongings are in the trunk of my car. Is it okay if I bring them now or would you prefer I do it after work tonight?"

"Let me take a quick look and see what I have going on today." I said and pulled up my calendar. "I think you have enough time to do it now. Isix, would you mind helping Aislinn get her things and settle in?"

"I'd be happy to help."

I waited until they had left before turning to Rhea. She admitted that she had approached Nick a few months back about a personal assistant. One that could be mobile and live in. It didn't hurt that she was stunningly beautiful and possessed a genius level IQ. I wondered how many employees he had to look through to find her. I pulled us Aislinn's personal file and learned that she had studied abroad and was working at one of Nick's European companies until recently. She had dropped everything to come work for me and share my home. It wasn't a typical assignment and she wasn't a typical young woman.

"Something is off here but I don't know what it is." I said sharing my thoughts aloud.

"Of course, it is Greg." Rhea admitted. "She's a silent shadow. She is one of my sisters."

"Oh damn... she is here to help not just my obvious work but that of the Order as well. I feel so damn stupid!"

The energy in the room changed dramatically. I saw movement beyond the kitchen table and I stood up. Aislinn was kneeling with her head touching the floor. She must have heard my comment. I approached her and I saw that she was crying. I squatted down and touched her shoulder. She looked up and her beautiful features were marred with tears and red eyes.

"Get up and let's talk about this. What is going on?"

"I feared your wrath. It is common knowledge that the Hidden Master expects the best of his Silent Shadows. I was afraid I had already failed you in some way."

"Clear out," I ordered. Rhea and Isix left without a word. "Sit down, we need to talk." I said softly but with authority. "This is your first day. Don't be so god damn hard on yourself. I have read your file. You have great skills and I have high hopes for you. What are your duties exactly?"

"I am your shadow. I will protect you when the Lady Rhea is not available. I am quite skilled in the combat arts as well as firearms, chemistry, and botany. My only desire is to serve." I smiled when I heard the way she said serve.

"I heard a bit of innuendo when you said serve. Care to elaborate?"

"When I spoke with Master Nick he said you had a thing for both redheads and Asians. Since I am blessed naturally with both I had hopes I would earn a place in your bed. Am I being too forward?"

"Nope. Do you have your bags inside the house?" I asked and she nodded. "Good, follow me up so I can get dressed. We need to haul ass if we are going to make my first meeting."

Aislinn followed me upstairs. Rhea had already set out my clothes and was just finishing putting on her uniform. Rhea smiled at Aislinn and pointed to my suit. I removed my robe and Aislinn helped me into my shirt first. As she buttoned it Rhea took a brush to my hair. The ease at which Aislinn helped me dress told me I wasn't her first charge. Once my jacket was on she took a brush and removed any errant hairs. I checked the clock display on my HUD and we had enough time barring heavy traffic. I would leave driving concerns to Rhea as I always did. Isix would stay behind today and put the house to rights. The drive to the Pentagon went smoothly. When we reached the first check point Aislinn produced her own security clearance. Rhea let us out near the entrance and drove off to park the car. This wasn't usual for us. Normally we would both go to the parking lot and walk in together. With Aislinn in tow I could go directly to my meeting while Rhea caught up later.

I strode in and introduced everyone to Aislinn as my assistant. I told them that she would eventually take over as other duties took up more and more of my time. I dimmed the lights and took over the holographic emitters. With a gesture, a map of the continental U.S. appeared. There were shimmering icons of assorted colors on the map. The icons represented military bases. The colors stood for the time line when they would receive a gate. I made another gesture and a globe appeared with the same shimmering icons. These covered the international military bases world-wide. I touched on the earliest bases to receive gates first. As I addressed a base one of the officers around the table would stand up and talk about the base I mentioned. He or she would describe what made that base worthy of getting a gate namely its strategic importance. In some cases, it was sheer military might. In other situations, it was all political. There were quite a few overseas bases getting gates. It would allow for swift troop transfers or more likely fast travel for well-connected political analysts.

"Unless anyone has any questions I think we're done. If you think of any questions later you all have my email. I must set up Aislinn's account. Once that is done you will refer all your questions to her."

The meeting broke up and many of the men couldn't help taking a last look at Aislinn. Rhea was waiting outside in the hall. She followed us to our next meeting. That is how the entire day went. Aislinn was excited about her first day at the Pentagon but I had to admit it had finally become routine for me. My evening schedule included a meal at the White House. The President was celebrating the Cold Fusion Concord. It was an international agreement to shift from fission plants to fusion over the next twenty years. The legislation would also allow the elimination of the last coal burning facilities left overseas. Fossil fuels had already been phased out during the last administration's first term in office. I had just enough time to get home, change into my tuxedo, and reach the White House. Aislinn would stay home and work on notes for the meetings she had attended today. I would look them over when I got back.

I was nervous about the dinner at the White House. There would be plenty of news agencies present to cover whether the President would continue to fund NASA after the loss of Project Ares. Would there be cut backs or would the budget remain unchanged. They were equally interested in speaking with Nick Shaw about the money he lost since he funded Ares for a huge chunk of change. They had no idea the success that the reimagined Solaris had become. We had landed a craft on an alien asteroid. We were taking tons of footage from within the confines of another solar system. Every data pack returned to earth was a treasure of scientific data. We were rewriting star charts since we now had a whole new perspective.

I strode into the ball room with Rhea on my arm. She doubled as my plus one and my bodyguard. There were plenty of secret service agents around us but the recent death threats had spurred Rhea to be more aggressive in her duties. We worked the room and I found an interesting mix of politicians that were aware of Solaris and those that weren't. I had to apologize to one person and a few minutes later I was being congratulated by other members of the same political party. Security clearance was everything when it came to world shaping events. I felt the inevitable countdown when we were going to have to share what we had found.

"Greg, who is this gorgeous creature?" Geoffrey Collins, the head of the EPA asked as he kissed Rhea's hand.

"Geoffrey, this is Rhea my bodyguard. Rhea, this Geoffrey Collins EPA chief and all around great guy."

"Can we talk Greg?" Geoffrey asked his face showing a need to unburden himself.

"I have a little time. Rhea can you grab me a snack while I talk?" I said and Rhea smiled and walked off. "What is bothering you Geoffrey?"

"I heard your boss has a satellite parked over Yellowstone. Is that true?"

"Your source is correct. He pulled a satellite that was helping an archaeological dig in Egypt. It has ground penetrating radar as well as a rather impressive sensor package."

"Can I get a copy of the data?" He asked his color waning as he stood there.

"You need to talk to the President or the head of the Department of the Interior. I understand your concern but my hands are tied on this."

"That alone scares the hell out of me." Geoffrey said his body trembling.

"Keep it together," I said laying a hand on his arm. "I will ask around for you."

"How the hell can you remain so damn calm?"

"If I were to freak out what good would it do anyone? I stay strong for my daughter and all the other children out there."

"Speaking of your daughter, congratulations!" Geoffrey said smiling and regaining some of his color. "The first woman to be offered a position on the Council for the Preservation of Antiquities. You must be very proud."

"It is more of an apprenticeship but yeah, I am damn proud of her."

One of the Secret Service agents approached me and said the President wished to speak with me. I shook Geoffrey's hand and followed the agent. Lydia was standing with a trio of astrophysicists. One of them I recognized instantly. I shook hands all around and waited to see why my presence had been requested. The topic of conversation was the latest information sent back by Solaris.

"Have you heard the latest?" Neil asked. "It is amazing!"

"I have been in meetings all day." I replied watching the world-renowned scientist act like a kid on Christmas morning.

"Two..." he said smiling brilliantly. "There are two planets inside the zone."

"You are talking about the goldilocks zone right?"

"Yeah, this is amazing! I am torn about where I want to apply my energy. Do I study the 'button' as Nick is calling it? Or do I study two possible earth-like worlds? What do you think?"

"I am waiting for the first contact with the alien structure on the asteroid." I said. "I want to see what treasures it is holding."

The conversation continued and I glanced over at the President. She appeared jovial enough but beneath the surface she was a little pissed. I laughed out of turn and Neil looked at me confused. I just put it off to a funny thought and he let it slide. In truth Lydia and I were having a private communication thanks to Nick's technology. Since her inauguration she had been updated with a few of Nick's less invasive toys. Among those were nanite eyedrops and a cutting edge artificial personality. It was through those very eyedrops that we could message each other silently. It went like this.

'I love the tuxedo. Is that a Vera Wang?'

'Yes. It was my fallback thanks to YOU.'

'Me, what did I do?'

'You left a noticeable mark.'

'I don't recall anything like that.'

'You fucking liar! You left teeth marks on my...'

'Oh yeah, I guess I did get carried away. You can't really blame me, can you? You did that little trick where you...'

'I will again after this little event is over with.'

My nervous laugh escaped my lips and I made an excuse to pass it off as less than it was. I could feel her simmering hunger and fed it with my own. The group broke up and I drifted away from Lydia for fear of drawing too much attention to either of us. Rhea caught up with me and handed me an antique saucer with celery, grapes, and a few bites of cheese. She brushed close enough to sniff me.

"You are in heat." Rhea purred. "I thought she was going to wear that Vera Wang dress tonight."

"Plans change," I growled. "I left a mark."

"How many times have I told you, it is impolite to bite the President? I will have to punish you."

"I look forward to that."

"But not tonight, you have a civil duty to make it up to her. You are a bad boy."

"Yes, yes I am." I said as I speared a cube of cheese with a toothpick.

The party moved to a more official arrangement. I kept my saucer as we were herded into a large conference room. There were rows of chairs before a long table set with microphones spaced before the six chairs. The President was seated in the middle with the head of NASA to her right, Neil to her left, and me next to Neil. I was thrilled even though we were addressing a cover story for the supposed loss of Project Ares. Lydia addressed the mix or reporters, scientists, and politicians. She told about the disappearance of Ares after a perfect launch via gate. Nick took over and described the launch in detail and how the main engines had ignited and twenty-eight seconds later the communications fell silent. He sat as Neil stood and went into equal detail about NASA's attempts to reestablish communication but having ultimately failed. Neil looked at me and I stood. I gestured and the footage of Solaris' launch filled the air above the audience. The lights dimmed as I launched into my theory about what might have caused the disaster.

"I have checked multiple sources and I feel the cause was a small but localized solar burst. As you can see..." I said as the graphics changed showing several charts of various meteorological and satellite feeds.

"...there was a surge of electromagnetic radiation picked up by three geostationary satellites as well as the International Space Station. The pulse hit Ares along its lateral line possibly burning out its entire network. It is programmed to deal with emergencies so it is not outside the range of probability for it to repair and reestablish contact on its own. If you have any questions for the panel we are ready to answer what we can."

I sat down and the questions began. I fielded many of the answers and tried to keep hope alive. The conference was ended and I sat in my seat long after everyone else had departed. My eyes were closed and I had delved deep into the binary sea. It was far deeper that I normally went. I was looking for something that had eluded me since I had accidentally connected with my other self. I sought a conscious way of tapping into Gregory's mind or at least contacting him somehow. It was a tricky quest I was on. It would blend my psychic gifts with cold hard machinery. I sunk deeper and deeper until I was firmly in the domain of my machine self. I was mentally accessing my implant and the A.I. within. I had done this before but not in this way. The A.I. and I would blend so that we sought out each other. It was a mutual effort. But here I was tapping into the hardware as if it were just another peripheral device.
