Anne turned around and discovered that Astaire had a pair of excellent feathered wings. It was his favorite entertainment, which he invented after weeks of trial and error. He went to Ann from behind and hugged her. His hands lay just below her chest. It was very easy, as he decided that it would be so. She did not express dissatisfaction. Aster jumped up.

It was too sudden for Ann, who felt a sudden rush of adrenaline into the blood. They were already fifty feet above the ground and heading towards the center of the city, rushing above the trees. Aster got up here with several strong flapping of his wings.

- Nervous? - he asked.

“I'm fine,” came the reply. No one else whom he took with him on such a journey behaved so calmly.

Aster climbed a little higher, then slowly sank down and began to climb again in circles, like a bird.

The view was spectacular, as were the sensations.

- afraid of heights? - Aster remembered the Device, destroying such fears, but decided to err. Ann did not answer.

Having nothing to lose but Ann’s opinion about himself, Aster did what he had long wanted to try - he let her go. Ann cried out, flew down a few feet and stood in the air at his command. She could not stop herself, because she did not know how to do it.

Ann was not offended and not angry. She looked at the city below and leaned over to try what kept her from falling. People always needed some time to understand that real laws do not work here.

- It's like on the rides - a shiver without danger of death.

Ann smiled. - It became a sign for Astera to continue in the same spirit. In this fantasy world it was boring to those who are not able to fantasize and imagine, and Ann seems to have already begun.

“Take my hand,” he said. - I think you will like it. She obeyed. Aster's wings are gone. After a moment, they began to fall from a height of a thousand feet (a second ago they were not so high) on the city. Aster was looking straight at Ann. She glanced at him. It worked! She trusted him enough to take her eyes off the approaching earth. He could not stop this moment. Even here.

- I'm impressed, Ann. You are more than I thought before. Congratulations.

He pulled her close. She hugged him and looked down. An instant before they reached the ground, a large pool of water appeared beneath them and they plopped into the water, but painfully but noisily. Ann, who had thrown Astaire when she fell into the water, swam up to him and hugged him again. He liked the feeling of her body when she clung to him.

- Can we repeat that? She asked. - Do not fall, and the flight? I want to try it myself. Aster nodded. A second later, they were in the air again and Ann thought to herself a beautiful orange plumage. Aster followed Ann while heading toward the company building, flying low through the trees and squealing with delight.

“I want to try landing,” she said. - Will you go first?

Aster nodded and moved closer to her, heading for the roof of the office center ... The next moment he was sitting on a chair with a blue box in his lap.

“Timer ... no, there must be some time left,” he looked toward the door. His boss entered the room, and this noise made the device shut off.

- Good evening. When you leave, close the lab, OK?

Aster and Ann nodded, the Chief said goodbye and headed for the door. When he closed the door, Astaire turned to Ein and said ...

- Something like that always happens ... True, only 30 seconds are left.

- It seemed to me that all this lasted more than 4, 5 minutes! - Anne muttered.

“It always seems longer,” Aster agreed. “It's impossible to verify, is it?” Imaginary clocks go as fast as you imagine. Everything else is also accelerated ... So people usually think.

Surprisingly, even though it was already a few minutes past five, Ann was not going to leave, as he had expected. Did she decide to spend the evening with him? Maybe her opinion about techies has changed a bit?

- Can we try again? Everyone has already left, and I felt so good with you ...

- Of course, I'm not in a hurry today. - Aster was a little dumbfounded by her words "good with you." He again began to cast a spell over the timer when Ann interrupted him.

- Can I now? You already did this and ...

Aster nodded and handed her the Device ...

- This time we will set the timer for a longer time, maybe ten minutes and ...

Ann did not need an explanation. She set the timer for four hours and sat down on a chair. The device immediately turned red. Aster got up, and saw that the timer was set to 4 ... 00, and not to 0 ... 10.

- What are you ...

- I do not want to be interrupted next time. Can I stop it at any moment?

- Yes. Just imagine that you turn off the device, and it will happen. Maybe we'll fix a little timer and ...

Aster reached for the device, but it suddenly disappeared. Ann so wanted. She could have returned him, but she did not. He felt a little uncomfortable.

- I want to play a little. I am SURE you didn’t think about it, - She ran her hand over her hips. - Beautiful? Do you like?

- Nuuu ... uh ... yes, - Aster obediently stared at her feet. - OK, let's see what you can imagine. Want to fly more?

- Not now. I think that you can do everything. Like flying. Everything. - She looked straight into his eyes. - It should be nice when your companion is excited, right?

At first Astaire thought that Ann was talking about him. This thought flashed through his mind for the first time since they plunged into virtual reality ... But no. This is not his thought ... Maybe she speaks purely hypothetical? But her tone spoke quite the opposite. He did not know what to say.

Ann got up and hugged him tightly.

- Remember? In the air? It was your thought, not mine. I do not know what it is ... adrenaline, fear or actually you. And I don't know how you felt, but this feeling makes me completely wet between my legs. Even when I just imagine it.

Aster tried to distract from thoughts about moisture. He, too, felt something, but at the same time he was tormented by the thought, and not all too quickly ... He could not just remain silent.

- Isn't this too ... fast? I like you, but two weeks ago you gave me less attention than you need to say this phrase.

- May be. I never even thought about you until now. I do not know why. I think I feel guilty for not paying attention to some people. So when Dan asked me to look after you today, I decided that this was a good case to get to know you a little better. And ... (she reached out to his pants) do you really know the best way to get to know each other better? Everything is so romantic.

They stood on the boat, lime at sunset. Somewhere a violin played.

- It's only the beginning...

Sunset disappeared, leaving them in total darkness.

“Still, it's much better than a meeting in the laundry.” - It sounded reasonable. Intelligence is all that Ann still allowed to keep control of herself ... Aster hugged her. He ran his hands down her body to her waist and even lower, feeling the soft fabric of the jeans she was wearing. She obviously liked her .... Read more →
