There were so many things he had yet to experience.  Yes, he would admit, only slightly and not the least humbly, that his overzealous approach to antagonize Parker Barnes had caused him to slip up, but he chalked it up to the rush of his first experiences.  He had missed Sheila - she was a definite addition to the simulations, but as he would be back into a new body soon, the thrills of domination, both sexual and visceral, would be his again.

Sid walked out of Brooks Brothers, the brilliant sun blinding him for a moment until he placed his brand-new, very chic sunglasses upon his nose.  He had decided to make for the East Coast so his plans wouldn't be hindered by the local authorities.  Although Parker Barnes was out of the picture, there could always be that one cop who could recognize him from the fiasco in LA.  The suit he wore, pure Armani design, was in a startling shade of sizzling blue, the shirt a bright white with matching blue tie.  He had always enjoyed the finer things in life, which he could now afford, thanks to his link with the commodities trading around the globe.  Having a computer for a brain and, until recently, a home had its advantages.  Still....he was ready to see the world again.  This time unencumbered.

He hailed a taxi and directed it to go straight to the Waldorf Astoria.  Only the best.  The driver sped off towards the hotel as Sid relaxed against the worn upholstry and shared a secret smile with himself.  He hadn't quite decided what he was going to do next, but he was going to be decidedly low-key and take a more intellectual approach this time.  The thrill of the cat and mouse chase was still there as well as the desire for others to take notice, but playing with the simpletons within local constabulary wasn't enough for him this time.  Sid had the notion that since the days of playing with Barnes were through, the personality component of Matthew Grimes was no longer controlling much, if any, of his actions.

The taxi pulled up in front of the grand old hotel and Sid paid the driver, who left quickly.  Sid could sense the uneasiness of the man, in the looks he was casting in the rearview mirror as well as the white knuckles that gripped the steering wheel of the car.  He had to chuckle to himself as he watched the frightened arab drive out of the parking lot.  The only thing better would have been if he had crossed himself as Sid had gotten out of the car.

Sid signed into the hotel, for once using a legitimate credit card.  Such are the joys of the information age. He took his key from the concierge, whom he was aware was staring after him.  Such vapid creatures - humanwomen.  That was one of the problems with having a biological body this time around - all of the rudimentary human requirements and desires were present, things he had never experienced and was having to learn to master before he sought his place in the world around him.  He lay back on the bed and gazed around the room.  Sometime, a few minutes later, he was fast asleep.

He could sense her, he didn't know how this puny human body was able to do it but he could.  Sid looked up from the menu he was perusing at a small table in the outdoor cafe and stared over at the woman who sat only a couple of tables away.  He sniffed the air, a light citrus perfume caught his attention.  It must be hers.  He observed from a discreet distance, she hadn't even bothered to look up from her book.  His eyes were riveted on her attractive physique - tall and statuesque with appearing emaciated, lovely long chestnut tresses that spilled down her back, and an angelic face.  Taste was apparent in the way she moved, in the simple but elegant Versace suit, striking in its crimson color. I will have her....Sid just hadn't made up his mind how he would go about it.

He spent the rest of the day exploring the city in a peculiar fashion.  He had chosen to follow the human woman, his newest conquest, around New York.  She had eaten a small lunch at the cafe, then walked back to a high rise, which Sid easily discovered was a publishing house of some kind. Fascinating. The excerise was great, the practice of stalking kept his senses sharp and let him try out some of the functions of his new body.  He had yet to formulate a sophisticated enough plan to satisfy his sense of aesthetics in his pursuit of his prey.

He slipped into her home, a grand apartment in one of the nicest buildings in the city.  Whoever she was, she made an ungodly amount of money.  A niggling in the recesses of his mind thrilled at the thought of dominating this New York aristocrat, which personality might that be Sid wasn't truly certain.  The balcony was quite convenient for his requirements and allowed him to sneak into the darkened bedroom.  He hadn't done anything like this in a long time.

She came in the bedroom and removed her heels, dropping them in the floor and not bothering to put them away.  She undressed, Sid watching everything as she took off the suit and draped it over the chaise lounge in another corner of the room.  She picked up her gown, a simple snippet of silk and lace and retreated into the bathroom for a few minutes.  When she returned, Sid could see the outline of her breasts delineated in the light that flooded into her room from the bathroom.  She pulled back the covers of the bed and turned to flip the light switch in the bathroom when he struck.

He moved out of the corner into the light, his footsteps muffled by the lush pile of the carpet.  "Hello."  His voice, carefully modulated, crooned a soft baritone, carrying with it the full brunt of the lust he felt for her.

She turned slowly to face him and stepped forward, her gaze never wavering from his face.  From this distance, Sid discovered that her eyes were a brilliant emerald green as he stared at her, hoping that the glance was sufficiently lascivious.  How strange that Sid could not sense any sort of fear or emotion from this woman, it was like she was expecting him, had met him before.

Sid slithered around behind her, curious at her ability to remain unfazed in his presence.  "You know who I am?"  He trailed a languid finger down her arm, memorizing the smoothness of her skin, interrupted only with the fine hairs that grew sparsely there.  Even at his touch, she did not flinch.  Somehow he was exhilarated at the thought of finding a woman who he could not intimidate.

"Yes," was her whispered reply.  "You followed me."  The revulsion she knew should be there when he touched her was not.  The slow caress of his finger against her skin was relaxing, nothing more.

Sid's brilliant eyes widened.  She knew and she didn't care.  How novel.  He reached up with one hand and moved the heavy mass of chestnut hair over one shoulder, his nose twitching at the fragrance that wafted up from it.  Citrus, he thought to himself, as he lowered his face into the curve of her neck, his nose coming in contact with the silken skin there just nanoseconds before his mouth pressed a gentle kiss to her nape.  Her head turned slightly as if she was trying to watch him at work.  Sid darted his tongue out and tasted for a fleeting second, the salty flavor. He moved his mouth with excruciating slowness closer to her collarbone, the pulse was below his lips and he reveled in the intimacy of feeling her life's blood pump through her veins.

Sid's hands roamed her bare arms, sliding up and down in a repetative motion, until they finally came to rest at her waist.  He pulled her close, flush against him.  She settled her backside against his well-muscled frame, sensing the heat coming from his body.  Goosebumps replaced the heat of his hands, not from fear but excitement.  Sid continued his oral assault upon the soft column of her neck, her body moving imperceptibly against his.  His mind warred within his head on what he should do next, he wanted to mark her as his permanently.  His hands roved up her torso until they found her lush breasts, he covered them with his hands, feeling the nipples tightening against his palms through the sheer fabric of her lingerie.

A soft moan slipped from her lips, arousing Sid even more.  He held her against his tremendously aroused body, his breath sticking his throat as he reveled in the wonderful feel of her body against his.  He slipped around to face her, his body still in devilishly close contact. Sid pressed his mouth against her neck and trailed his lips and tongue downward until he came to rest in the center of her cleavage.  Her heart began to beat faster at his touch, shivers wracked her body.

Sid hooked his fingers under the straps of her short gown, sliding them down her arms and allowing the garment to pool at her feet. The newly revealed skin.....his sense were overloaded with the desire he felt.  He closed his eyes briefly, until the violent wave of passion passed.  When he opened them, she stared into their depths and observed that the dark pupil was so dilated that the brilliant blue iris was barely visible.  "What is your name?"  His voice almost betrayed him.

No answer.

Sid lowered his head and placed mouth on the creamy mound of her breast, his lips leaving a damp trail as he made his way to her dusky nipple.  He ran his tongue around the tightened bit of flesh, then puckered his lips to blow gently upon her aroused skin.  She stiffened and shuddered as the cool breath dusted her skin.  He murmured softly but demandingly against her flesh as he continue his assault.  "What is your name?"  His hands tightened upon her waist, he could see the red marks left by his fingers marring the white skin there.

"Kateri."  The almost inperceptible whisper carried on the breeze to the soft shell of his ear.  The simple act of her naming herself aroused him even more, she was no longer an object to conquer, but a true flesh and blood person.  His mouth sucked harder upon the wet nub, his teeth closing around it until it reached the brink of pain.  Sid was pleased whenhe heard her sharp moan slip from her dark pink lips.

Kateri trailed her manicured fingernails up his chest, abraiding his skin through his soft linen shirt.  Sid shivered at her touch, she grasped both sides of his shirt in her strong hands and pulled the shirt apart at the buttons.  Sid sucked in a sharp breath, not caring as much about the shirt as he appreciated her forthright forceful manner.  This was so much better than the VR version.  She slid her hands inside the shirt to brush his smooth chest and rock-hard abdomen.

Sid felt the excitement, the adrenaline rush began to rocket through his veins.  He inserted one muscle thigh between her legs, feeling her dampness there soak through the expensive material of his suit.  Kateri fumbled with the fastenings on his trousers, her knuckles brushing against his turgid shaft.  Sid grabbed her hands and forced them roughly above her head in an iron grip.  He moved forward and laid a punishing kiss upon her mouth, sure to bruise her petal soft lips but she simply met his strength with her own.  Her tongue slipped into his mouth, tasting the sweetness of the wine he had consumed earlier.  She could almost taste his darkness as well, it was an impowering moment for her to absorb his dangerous intent.

Their tongues met in a ferocious battle of wills, one hand easily holding hers above her head, the other roughly tugging at the silk material of her panties.  Sid had not anticipated the difficulty he was experiencing at maintaining control of the situation and it astonished him - he was always in control, it was his nature.  He slipped one tapered finger under the silk and began to part the folds of her venus mound.  He searched, tracing his finger around the folds until it nudged the swollen nub of enervated tissue.  His body weight and the strength of his hands held her to the sheets as she arched up against him in pleasure.

Unconsciously, Kateri noticed his hold beginning to relax on her imprisoned hands and she was able to free one of them, then the other.  She pushed her panties down away from her waist and down her long, shapely legs with little assistance from Sid.  He was still too busy concentrating on the task at hand.  His finger abruptly thrust up into her moist heat, Kateri's breath seized her throat.  He moved his finger in time with his body, intimating his future plans for her body.  She could feel his engorged tumescence burning through his trousers, pressed dangerously close to her inner thigh.

Now that his other hand was not occupied with restraining Kateri's, Sid allowed it to explore her breasts once more, sometimes mimicking the contact with her nipples the motions he was using to manipulate her clitoris.  Kateri could not keep the moans from parting her lips, she fought the urge to just lay back and let Sid do what he would.  She unfastened his trousers, his hardened penis slipping forward through the open fly.  The thin cotton of his boxers were no match for her deft fingers, she found quite readily what she was looking for.

Sid almost collapse upon her as he felt the heavenly touch of her fingers upon his shaft for the first time.  Kateri circled the head with her thumb and forefinger, sliding ever so slowly down the entire length.  His brilliant blue eyes widened at the sensation. He thrust two fingers inside her, stretching the warm tunnel in preparation for his erection.  She writhed against his touch, dragging her nails across the head of his manhood.  Sid came very close to spilling himself into her hand at that moment.

Sid slipped his other thigh between her legs, uncaring that he still wore his trousers and shoes.  She could feel his breath, warm and rapid, against her abdomen.  His legs were between hers, the muscles clinched tight, forcing her legs apart.  He placed a gentle kiss on her navel, but she did not anticipate his next move.

Just as she thought he was begininng to kiss her again and had relaxed beneath his touch, Kateri felt herself being yanked upwards and his thick hardness filling her a moment later.  It was almost painful with his abruptmovements, but the sponteneity of it more than compensated.  She responded by wrapping her long legs around his narrow hips as he thrust deeply into her body.  Every thrust brought her closer to climax, the electricity of their joining coursing through her veins.

Sid felt her heart speed up at the surprise, his own as she sheathed him inside her.  The warm, damp muscles clung and gripped his head, preventing him from withdrawing all the way.  Sid felt his body suddenly take over his brain as he began to thrust into her with an increasingly rapid pace.  His body drenched with sweat, his heart felt like it would explode from his chest.  He felt the tingling of his loins intensify as he realized that Kateri was peaking, her internal muscles spasming against him.

Kateri's vision exploded in pin-pricks of light and color as she toppled over the edge of sanity.  Sid kept moving, striving for the same completion as she screamed aloud.  Her hips bucked involuntarily against him, but he couldn't stop himself even if he had the desire to try.  The tingling gave way to bolts of energy charging through his body as he spilt his seed inside her body.   Sid shuddered violently in response to the orgasm.  Kateri was still in the throes of her completion, her hips still arching against him.  Thousands of secondary frissons rocked through Sid as they remained intimately joined.

Both of their heartbeats, their breathing slowed gradually as Sid collapsed upon her for an interminable length of time.  He was exhausted, Kateri felt as if she had run a marathon.  She could also tell he had not been quite prepared for his body's response.  She gently rolled him off of her, his soft snoring uninterrupted by the movement.  He sprawled out on the other side of the bed while Kateri stole from the bed and walked into her living room, where her cell phone sat on the table.  She pushed a speed dial key and pressed SEND.

A couple of rings later a bored voice answered....

"Yes?"

"It's Sheridan.  Let me talk to Iverson."

"What is about?"

"Just get him on the phone."

"Hold on."  Kateri was put on hold for a moment, then Iverson came on the line.

"Sheridan, where are you?"

"At home.  Listen I can't talk now."

"Are you okay?"

Kateri thought to herself a moment.  She was definitely more than okay.  "Yeah, sure.  He's here."

"He took the bait?"

"In a manner of speaking."

"Keep on him, we need his help. Oh, and Sheridan?"

"Yes?"

"Be very careful of this son of a bitch, he's unbelievable."

"You're tellin' me."

"What was that?"  Kateri blushed slightly at the thought of her little secretgetting out.

"Nothing.  Bye."

"Stay safe."

The End
