Chapter 16
Max
Max hadnât understood frustration until now. How could it be So. Fucking. Hard. to control the android body?
He made the pinky twitch again, excruciatingly conscious of how each flexible strip that was emulating a muscle needed to contract on the back of the finger while those on the front were allowed to stretch. They all had to move at the same time⦠but not quite.
He studied the code for the simplest hand movement he could find, and realized that the muscles closest to the palm moved first while straightening, whereas those at the fingertips moved first while curling.
Just doing that took all of his attention. He couldnât move the mouth when he spoke. The cameras in the eyes were streaming whatever was in front of them, just one more visual input amidst the other six cameras Max had going in the room.
Max tried to move two fingers on the left hand, and then even those cut out. Just totally went black.
Jesus fuck, this body thing was annoying.
Max felt like he was almost disappearing into itânot because he was bonding with it, but because moving a damn finger was so damned hard that he didnât have any attention left for the rest of his awareness.
And Ben hadnât even seemed impressed.
That was half of what Max was upset about. Heâd thought that Ben would be excited about such a muscular, handsome specimen. The bulging muscles and gleaming skin seemed to grace every magazine cover⦠and definitely appeared in some of Benâs porn.
But of course Ben wouldnât be so superficial as to want a classically attractive man. Ben appreciated character. Uniqueness.
Which just made Maxâs job even harder.
He knew now that the sexbot wasnât a damn thing like himself. Heâd known it from the beginning.
He just couldnât think of anything better. Should his eyes be blue or black or brown? Should his chin be square or round or pointy? How the hell was he supposed to know, if Ben wouldnât tell him?
And Ben didnât seem to even care what he looked like.
It was an impossible task.
Before heâd at least been able to imagine his body on top of Benâs, with a vague sense of arms and legs tangled together even if he didnât have a face. Now even that vision was rapidly disappearing.
Max went back to just manipulating the one finger and turned the cameras back on.
He was amused to see Ben flicking his own fingers open and shut in front of him.
âYou knowâ¦â Ben said, still looking at his hands. âI donât actually control my fingers. I mean, obviously, I do. But I donât think about my finger muscles. My brain says pick up that cup or make a fist and I just do it. Iâm pretty sure that Quincy operates the same way. Maybe you actually should be utilizing those routines.â
âHuh.â That made a hell of a lot of sense. Max was just so eager to be in control of every part of the body that it hadnât occurred to him.
