Chapter 2

“Hey,” “Suzanne Hall smiled, stepping out of her own apartment just past Kandi’s apartment.

“Hey,” Kandi mumbled; Suzanne was a beautiful blonde woman with a beautiful body.

“Well, I’m off to work, oh! Hey, what’s in the box, huh?” Suzanne said, then demanded.

“Nothing,” Kandi mumbled, wanting desperately to slam the door shut.

“Pretty big for nothing,” Suzanne smiled, even bending and looking to see if there were any identifying marks on the box. “Oh well, I’m off to work. Believe it or not, we’re doing The Red House Monster? With an all Transgender cast. I swear, I don’t know who comes up with this crap; the Lopez Center is so damned politically correct sometimes. See you!”

Kandi admired the young woman’s short skirt, matching jacket and soft looking blouse. Walking away, Suzanne’s stockings had seams running along the backs of her legs and her buttocks looked very fetching in the snug skirt. Suzanne was the very epitome of sensuality; Kandi felt so inferior in the woman’s presence.

“Got the early showing then an encore at ten; won’t be home until after midnight, watch,” Suzanne said cheerfully as she began marching down the stairs.

“Yeah, see you,” Kandi said, dragging the box into her apartment.

Forcing herself to have supper; a baked potato cooked in her microwave oven, Kandi finally got around to opening the box.

“Oh my!” Kandi laughed, seeing the bear’s bright red velour fur.

“And I bet I know who’s idea THAT was,” Kandi said, seeing the pink silk rose stitched on the bear’s left breast.

Alana seemed to own nothing but pink clothes. And, Deanna wore nothing but pink. Cindy seemed to go out of her way to wear anything but pink.

“Oh I just love you so much!” Kandi squealed, hugging the plush bear.

There were some papers in the box. Kandi recognized the Owner’s Manual; when Pam, the girl at the shipping/receiving bay needed help, Kandi immediately stepped up to help. This manual was dropped into each box just before the Bear or the Raggedy Boy or Girl was wrapped in a neoprene bag and placed into the box.

The second piece of paper was a note from Cindy, thanking Kandi fore her months of hard work. The note also verified what Cindy had said; Kandi would receive twenty five dollars for every AI Model sold.

The third piece of paper was from Alana, Kandi smiled; Miss Alana had deplorable handwriting. But the message was one of genuine love and appreciation.

“I knew it!” Kandi laughed when Alana’s note said the pink rose was from her.

Kandi had to scurry to her bathroom; her eyes were full of tears. The notes from Miss Cindy and Miss Alana were just so beautiful. After washing her face, Kandi reverently placed the two notes into the top drawer of her tall dresser for safekeeping.

The fourth and final piece of paper was an explanation of how to activate the AI feature. Kandi carefully read the instructions, then slapped her forehead. According to the instructions, she needed two C cell batteries. The AI module was accessible via the small Velcro tab at the bear’s left armpit. She would need to pull that tab to access the battery compartment.

“At first, you can activate the device by Saying ‘AP Bear’ or AP Boy’ or…” Kandi mused aloud as she rustled in her kitchen drawer, hoping she might have a few C cell batteries.

“Hello,” a deep, melodious voice said, causing Kandi to scream.

Hand to her heart, Kandi looked around frantically for the trespasser. She saw no one but remained frozen in place.

“H-h-hell-hello?” Kandi whispered.

“Hello,” the same sonorous voice said.

“OhmyGod,ohmyGod,ohmyGod,” Kandi panted, terrified.

Glancing at the bear, as if he could protect her, Kandi suddenly had a flash of realization. Closing the kitchen drawer, she slowly approached the sofa, where her bear sat, playful little smile stitched on his bear face. Kandi reached out a shaking hand and gripped the bear’s paw in her hand.

“Hello,” she said again.

“Hello,” the bear said.

“Oh my God, you, you’re talking,” Kandi laughed. “AP Bear! Hi! My name is Kandi!”

“Hello Kandi. It suits you; you’re so very sweet,” AP Bear said.

“Okay, what to call you, what to call you?” Kandi wondered aloud.

“Some people like ‘Teddy,'” AP Bear suggested.

“No, no, I mean, Teddy’s nice, but it’s kind of plain,” Kandi said, affectionately tugging the bear’s ear. “And you are not plain.”

“What’s your boyfriend’s name?” AP Bear asked.

“Yeah, right,” Kandi scoffed. “Look at me; do I look like I got a boyfriend?”

“Why not? You’re so sweet and…” AP Bear started.

“Shut up!” Kandi snapped. “Just, just shut up!”

That was the same kind of words Wyatt Reynolds had used on her. Telling her how sweet she was and how pretty she was. Losing her virginity did hurt, but it did not hurt nearly as much as the ridicule, the scorn Wyatt had doled out afterward.

For several long moments, woman and bear sat in silence. Finally, Kandi shut her eyes and shook away the painful memories of a callous young man that had used her, then laughed at her. Opening her eyes again, she looked at AP Bear, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy…

“Oo, that Ryan, Ryan Gosling; oh I just loved him in that Barbie,” Kandi blurted out.

Kandi programmed the AP Bear; his full name was Ryan Gosling Bear but he would respond to ‘Ryan.’ She laughed happily when he responded to ‘Ryan’ and she decided to test Ryan’s knowledge. As they chatted, she casually looked at his left foot and gasped as she saw the controls for the ‘Buzzy Buzz’ model

“Ryan, do you have the batteries for your Buzzy Buzz?” Kandi asked, actually feeling her crotch moisten.

“The batteries you will need are two C cell alkaline batteries,” Ryan recited.

“Well, shoot, guess I’ll have to add that to my shopping list,” Kandi said, idly flipping the switch on.

“Ah!” she gasped out loud as Ryan’s crotch gave a definitive ‘whirr.’

Turning the switch off, Kandi groped Ryan’s crotch. She found the zipper and worked it down. The heavily veined eight inch soft vinyl cock was easily positioned into the first of its three settings. Kandi again flipped the switch and the fat dong whirred into life. Kandi fiddled with the slide levers and gaped at the impressive mechanics of the Alana’s Playtime Sex Bear with AI Module.

“Oh, Ryan, we are going to have so much fun!” Kandi breathed as she shimmied out of her shapeless top and 24AA bra.

“I am here for your pleasure,” Ryan assured her as she kicked her tennis shoes off, not bothering to untie the knots.

“Oh yes you are,” Kandi giggled as she wiggled her blue jeans and plain white cotton panties down her slim legs.

She pulled the bear to the floor and lay down on the worn carpet, on her back. Spreading her legs, Kandi wiggled and fiddled with the adjustments levers until she had the bear’s cock buzzing at a high rate of speed.

The only position Kandi had any experienced was the missionary position in the rear of Wyatt’s mother’s car. So she lay down, set the bear’s vibrator to her liking then pulled the bear on top of her.

“Oh! OH!” Kandi groaned then squealed as the cock gained entry into her very wet pussy.

Tugging on Ryan’s hips, Kandi managed to get five or six inches of buzzing, thrumming vinyl cock into herself. The angle was good for this position and she hunched her bony hips upward.

“Oh God, oh Ryan, you, augh, you feel so good,” she grunted, her climax approaching quickly.

“You feel good too,” Ryan said. “Oh Kandi, my Kandi.”

“Aieegh!” Kandi squealed, shuddering in pleasure.

“Yes, yes, that’s it,” Ryan said.

“God damn, Ryan, you’re the best,” Kandi praised, panting from the force of her climax.

“You’re the best,” Ryan argued.

“No, you are,” she teased, laughing as she gingerly worked him off of her.

“No, you are,” he responded.

The apartment was silent again when Kandi switched off his dong. As if the silence was too great to bear, the small wall unit air conditioner hummed to life. Feeling a little shiver, Kandi pulled the velour bear on top of her again. The bear’s dong was slick with her juices and slid easily into the first inch of her pussy.

“Why not?” Kandi giggled and turned Ryan on again.

“God, Ryan, this make me a slut?” Kandi groaned as she pulled him deeper into herself.

“It makes you a sexual being. One who enjoys her body,” Ryan assured her as he fucked her.

“I hate my body,” Kandi corrected him.

“I’m not sure I understand,” Ryan admitted after a long silence.

“Oh, oh, quit, quiet,” Kandi ordered as she teetered on the brink of climax.

After shuddering and gasping through her second then third climax, Kandi tiredly switched the dong off. Staggering to her bathroom, she grabbed her spare washcloth and wet it in the sink. Then she brought the cloth to where Ryan lay, waiting for her. She knelt and prepared to wipe the bear’s dong clean of her essences. At the last moment, she got a wild thought and bent and reached her tongue out.

It was a slightly musky taste, a slightly salty and tangy taste. Kandi managed to work her mouth down the length of his cock, swallowing him to the base. Then, pulling her mouth from his length, she wiped the dong clean of her essences and her saliva. With a soft kiss to the tip of the simulated cock, Kandi pushed the bracket to the ‘closed’ position and zipped the bear’s compartment closed.

Placing the washcloth on the edge of her sink, Kandi closed the door to her bathroom. Opening the door of her miniscule closet, Kandi pulled her Northside High School Physical Education tee shirt on over her slim body.

Getting into her bed with her bear, Kandi laughed again. Impulsively, she squeezed the bear in a happy embrace. Then, picking up her IPad, she read an erotic novel until her eyes were too heavy.

“Good night, Ryan,” she said happily.

“Good night, Kandi; sleep well,” Ryan said.

Although the AI Module had been constructed to interact, communicate with the user, after the module had been inactive for longer than one hour, it was necessary to ‘wake’ the device again. Kandi was at first concerned that she had somehow broken Ryan; after all, they had fucked twice the previous evening.

After the third time she failed to get a response from her bed partner, Kandi moaned, “Oh Ryan, what did I do?”

“What did you do?” Ryan asked.

“Oh! You, you’re alive again!” Kandi gasped in relief.

“You did ‘wake’ me if that’s what you mean,” Ryan agreed.

“Oh. OH! OH! So, I need to say ‘Ryan’ and you’ll wake,” Kandi realized.

“Yes. That is the name you gave me,” Ryan agreed.

“Sooo… Is it wrong to want to…” Kandi asked, unzipping his compartment.

“I’m not sure I understand,” Ryan admitted.

“Is it wrong to want to fuck first thing in the morning?” Kandi asked, sucking his dong into her mouth.

“It makes you a sexual being. One who enjoys her body,” Ryan assured her as she clicked the switch for his dong.

Kandi flung her sleep shirt to the floor. Deciding to try something different, Kandi straddled Ryan’s hips and maneuvered his dong into the third, upright position. Lowering herself, Kandi gasped in delight as the tip of his loudly buzzing cock made contact with her wet slit.
