Once I was done, Huck left my side. “Give me a second.”
I heard him rummaging in his pantry. When he came back, he crouched beside me and held a potent sliver of spicy citrus beneath my nose.
“Chew this,” he said, slipping the pungent item past my lips. “It will make you feel better.
Too sick to fight him, I did as he asked despite its awful taste. “What is it?” I asked, my throat horse again.
“Fresh ginger root.” He then collected me to him and got me off the ground.
Huck sat on the cot, and I straddled his lap and laid my head on his shoulder while he hugged and rocked me.
I had gone from barely letting my own personal robot touch me to just letting any stranger manhandle my nearly naked body— all in the span of twenty-four hours. This was a strange thing, indeed.
Huck smelled good to me, though I couldn’t quite place the scent. Pine or cedar, maybe. I never realized how much I would enjoy this kind of physical contact. Having him holding my naked body, his warmth seeping into my skin, made me tingle in all the right places. Normally I would just put myself into a virtual reality chamber and enjoy a get together with others who were also in the mood to have sex.
Human-to-human intimacy was a thing of the past, especially now that VR allowed for a perfect orgasm every time, no matter the partner. Artificial insemination was how people got pregnant. The Ai was adamant that it monitors reproduction to ensure the greatest success of a strong delivery of a healthy baby. So baby-making the old-fashioned way was frowned upon.
“How do Anachronists have children?” I asked.
He chuckled quietly. “Meet a woman, get married, then have intercourse. If you’re lucky, nine months later, a baby will arrive.”
“Do you all have sex like the animals do?”
“This is a very strange conversation. Would you like me to put some clothes on you?”
“No. I was just curious. I’ve never been touched by a person the way you and Bo have touched me. I like it a lot. It makes me want to have sex. Strange, because I never thought I would like to be physically touched by another, but here we are.”
Huck cleared his throat. “Didn’t you have parents? Did they not change or bathe you?”
“Parents leave a lot of that stuff to androids and house bots.”
“Your parents didn’t hug you either?”
“They did. But never without clothes on.”
“Okay. I understand. You’re a virgin.”
I giggled. “Oh God. No. I’ve had sex lots of times. And in many ways. Alone. In orgies. I’m into BDSM. Really like that.”
Huck nudged me back. “But you said you’ve never been held like this.”
“I haven’t.”
He lifted his eyebrows. “I think I’m missing something important. How can you have participated in orgies, but never been held? Was this a bondage thing where you were hanging from the ceiling or something?”
I shook my head and smiled. “What I meant is I’ve never had another person physically touch my unclothed body. I feel very vulnerable, but it’s not unpleasant. I never thought I would enjoy this, but it makes me tingle. It makes me feel submissive.”
He moved my hair behind my ears. “Tell me about your last sex party.”
“You go into virtual reality and—”
“Oh! I see!” Huck let out a relieved breath. “So you really are a virgin.”
“No. I’ve had sex lots of times.”
He closed his eyes, cupped the back of my head, and returned it to his shoulder. He began rocking me again. “Are you feeling better, Acedia?”
“I am. Thank you. I’ve had ginger before, just not the way you gave it to me. We have medicine for nausea.”
