Raymond let out a huff as he finished taking out the last of the furniture, leaving the room he had been working on for the entire day to be completely empty. It was the latest of projects to integrate a bunch of smart technology into his house, and after a lot of personal expenditure he had managed to finish the instillation. The newly installed vents began to move automatically to adjust the temperature in the house, and with everything else out of the area he could put the sensors into the carpet. Fortunately he didn't have to take up the entire thing, but the anchoring had been something that he was not looking forward to. Just as he was about to get on his hands and knees to put in the first strip, he got a notification that someone was at his front door. "It's about time he got here," Raymond said as he navigated his way out of the hallway and towards the door, opening it up to the cheetah that was on the other side holding a box. "Hey Dan, you made it." "Yeah, sorry," the cheetah replied as he stepped in. "I was sampling the tech and got distracted." "Of course, definitely not just avoiding work," Ray replied as he watched the cheetah kneel down and put the box on the ground, noticing the glint of something underneath the collar of his shirt. "Is that... latex?" "Yeah, it's part of the rigging," Dan explained, opening the box and pulling out a latex catsuit. "You're going to have to put it on if you want to interact with the virtual assistant. Did you get everything else installed?" "Yeah, the entire hub is all set up," Ray said. "I was just putting the last of the sensors in the rooms." Dan grinned and handed the suit over to him, telling him to get it on and he would get everything calibrated. The stingray took it and went into his bedroom, undressing and looking at the suit. While he had heard of such technology he had never expected it to be in his hands, but Dan worked for a prototype company that was working on it. It was the only reason he even bothered looking into such a thing, the cheetah stating that he could get everything he needed for a free beta test. Ray grinned slightly as he let the latex run through his fingers, then took it and quickly slid it on over his lithe body. Though he had not been sure of what this whole process would entail, he was certainly happy that it involved a rubber suit. Thanks to the nanopolymers that were inside, he wouldn't even have to lube up or anything; instead, he just had to take his webbed feet and slide them in. The material easily stretched and the smooth inside slid against his own patterned skin, causing him to let out a slight huff as he saw his feet pop out of the holes of the legs. Though it was a shame this wasn't a full-coverage suit, considering that it was just a basic interaction with the smart home companion he knew it wasn't necessary. Such things were only for immersion games that required it, and they were quite expensive. Plus, considering he had company over, it was best to not be stimulated entirely as the stingray quickly got the rest of the suit over him while he eyed the bulge that formed in his groin. Though he gave it a slight squeeze, he quickly just focused on getting the rubber over the rest of his body until finally the entry point formed a snug seal around his neck. Once he had finished getting everything on, including taking a few seconds to admire how the synthetic material clung to his form, Ray walked back out into his living room. He saw that Dan had already hooked something up to his central hub, and that the cheetah had already shed his clothing. As Ray made the joke about making himself comfortable, the feline just smirked and said that he would be the admin until they had him completely registered. The stringray merely nodded and got them both a drink as his friend finished up, which didn't take too long as he heard a beep from the hub that signified that the download was complete. With everything done, Ray went to get his headset, only for Dan to stop him and reach into the box once more. "We have these special visors to help facilitate the new AI system," Dan explained as he took out two visors, the eyepieces looking like a flexible piece of plastic with a rubber strap attached to them. "Since everything is running through the house there is no need for that much processing power, so they designed this as part of the AR experience." "You guys really have thought of everything," Ray replied as he took one of the visors and slid them on, watching Dan do the same. "Yeah, that they did," Dan stated as he gave the stingray a thumbs-up that Ray saw through the rainbow tinted lenses. "Alright, we're going to just start with having everything remain the same in your surroundings and introduce the AI. Once we're done with that you will be guided through the rest of the process." Ray just nodded and waited for Dan to get everything set up. All the prep work that he had done for the day was culminating in that moment, and as he saw the visor flicker he could see datasets being loaded into it. At first it was just the typical loading screen, but instead of turning black like most sets, he was still able to see everything in his home. He wasn't quite sure what to expect from the entire situation, but even as he saw the logo of Dan's company flash on the screen, there was still nothing different that he could see in his surroundings. Just as Ray was about to ask Dan if there was something he needed to do, he suddenly heard something that caused him to turn around. "Hello there user," the holographic creature said, the image quickly morphing into the image of a silver dragon. "My name is Argos, and I'm your personal home companion! Let's take a few moments to configure your settings to make sure that this is the perfect digital smart space for you!" The dragon's tone was almost overly enthusiastic, reminding Ray of some of the prototype demos that he had seen on the Network. It didn't seem much like the revolutionary AI that he had been told, and as he glanced over he saw the avatar of the cheetah standing there as well. While he had experienced such technology before, having a VR headset that he often used to access the Network, this was something more like augmented reality. He could still see everything around him in his apartment, but it all had a sheen to it that felt like it could be manipulated with just a whim. There were some things that couldn't be, not for the purposes of the program at least. Since this was meant for him to be able to move around, Ray knew that he couldn't change the layout of the space or where the furniture was actually placed. That would keep him from tripping of something he had deleted and potentially breaking his neck, but that didn't mean he couldn't change anything about the virtual space he was in. Though the dragon was still standing there and waiting for input from the user, Ray went over to the window that showed the outline of the city and clicked on the object using his finger. "Ah, I see that you want to change your environment," Argos said, suddenly appearing next to ray and causing the stingray to jump slightly. "Are there any preferences that you have? Or perhaps I could give you a few suggestions." While Ray had been curious about the integration of the AI into his home, he wasn't quite sure what exactly it could do other then pop up and try to scare the life out of him. "I was, um, actually just going to look through the list of options," Ray said, though as he spoke, he couldn't help but see a look of dismay on the dragon's face despite him just being a computer program. "Well, I suppose that I could get a recommendation, since I'm not exactly sure what to do." "Wonderful!" Argos said as he clapped his hands together. "After scanning your biometrics, I think that we could start with a lovely undersea theme, something that would really fit with your physiology, at least for now. Obviously we can change it later, but I think for the moment this would be a lovely demonstration of our program's... capabilities." Ray just nodded, and as he could see the images outside the window shift and change into something else, he couldn't help but continue to stare at AI that was doing the work. While he had interacted with various bots and VI programs in the Network before, the more he was watching the silver dragon, the more he couldn't help but feel like he was talking to an actual person. Dan had mentioned that this was the latest and greatest in AI technology... and as he looked around the room once more, he wondered when the cheetah was going to join them. Though time worked slightly different in the VR world, Ray knew that he should have been in here by now to help with all this stuff. Just as he thought about messaging him, a glowing circle appeared on the floor before a virtual feline construct appeared next to him. "Sorry, was fiddling with a few things on my avatar before I joined in," Dan admitted with a sheepish grin before looking out the window. "I see you and Argos are becoming fast friends." "So this is the brand new AI that you guys have been working on?" Ray asked, Dan nodding in response. "He seems like sort of a normal VI, no offense to the dragon here." "None taken," Argos replied, causing Dan to chuckle as Ray looked at the program in slight surprise. "That's just because the basic loadout is very simplistic for ease of use," Dan explained as he went up and put his hand on the dragon's shoulder. "The real beauty in this program comes in his adaptability; he gets your basic preferences to start, but the longer that he's integrated into your space, the more he can learn and anticipate what you need. Soon you won't even need to give him commands, he'll know you better than you know yourself." Though it sounded a bit like it was too good to be true, Ray couldn't argue that the price was right with it being free. He had the feeling that Dan was potentially using him as a guinea pig, but as the two sood next to each other they were both flashing him the same grin. "Well, I suppose we should get started then," Ray said with a slight shrug as he sat down on the virtual couch, which matched the one he had in his apartment. "What do we do next?" "We go about your daily routine," Dan explained, stepping forward while the holographic dragon remained behind. "Argos here will continue to observe and ask questions, eventually filling in your shoes on how to do things. Just think of him as another you, it'll make things much easier that way." Though the advice was a little vague for his taste, Ray just nodded and asked Dan if he was going to stay the entire time. The cheetah just chuckled and shook his head, but stated that he would come back in and check up on him from time to time to make sure the integration was going smoothly. He also advised the stingray to stay in the VR world as much as possible during these first few days; it would not only help with Argos mapping everything, but he could also get used to the patterns that the AI would set up for him to help with his routine. At this point though the only thing that Ray needed to do was give the program a link to all his pertinent information to run the household, something that Dan said he could leave and give him privacy to do. Ray thanked the other man and gave him a hug as he was about to log off, which Dan responded that he could be there at any time to give any technical support if needed. After exchanging a few more pleasantries he saw the cheetah disappear from the virtual world, just leaving him and Argos once more. Though he had gotten a lot more comfortable with the dragon avatar as the day wore on, he still found it a bit odd to have someone else there that wasn't really. It was strange since he had dealt with virtual interfaces before that were similar in nature, but the longer that they went on the more that Argos started to feel less like a hologram of a program and more like a real creature like Dan had been. Even the nature of Argos' response had become softer in nature the longer they went on. The jarring questioning that had initially come from all the input was more natural in nature, to the point where Ray hadn't even realized that it had asked a question until he found himself responding. As the first day came to a close and he had linked everything up he found himself regarding Argos more as a person, even thinking of the program as a him instead of just another interface. He also was finding just how useful the system was; after mentioning that he was getting hungry he found a notification appearing thirty minutes later that someone was at the door, which had a delivery guy with a pizza waiting for him. When Ray found that it had already been paid for out of his account, he took the pizza and thanked him before closing the door and looking at the dragon with box in hand. "You really are intuitive, aren't you?" Ray asked, the dragon nodding his head as he crossed his arms over his chest. "How did you know that I wasn't just going to cook something myself?" "I did an inventory of your fridge while you were putting in your meal preferences," Argos explained, gesturing with his hand over towards the refrigerator, where a hologram of the empty insides were suddenly projected. "When I did so I noticed that there was nothing that was related to what you had told me in your fridge, and a general lack of pantry items as well. Speaking of such, I can schedule a delivery of groceries so that you can have more choice in the future." Wow, thanks Argos," Ray said as he set the box down and opened it, realizing only when he had taken a slice out that he had just thanked a computer program. "Oh... that was strange, wasn't it?" "Nothing wrong in being complimentary," Argos replied, once more his voice sounding more natural and less artificial as he walked over towards the stingray. "But if you wish not to do so you can as well, I'm just here to make your comfortable and your life easier. Speaking of such, while you eat I will take to task any lingering additional information so that tomorrow we can start the day rested and refreshed." Ray nodded his head and began to dig in, and as he went to his phone to focus he failed to see the dragon licking his lips every time he took a bite. Eventually he ate his fill and put the rest into his refrigerator for leftovers, noting the empty space as he did. Perhaps he could get the dragon to do a shopping list for him, especially since he had even managed to get the toppings right on his pizza. As he went and sat down on his couch to settle in he found that the AI was hard at work there too, putting movies in his recommended tab that he had been meaning to scroll through. Normally at this point he could have taken off the goggles and suit, but as Argos came over and sat down next to him on the couch, he found the company to be rather enjoyable. It was like having a roommate that he could dismiss at any time and was actually helpful, both traits he could have done with before in his life. What was even more curious was that when the dragon sat down and brushed against him, he could actually feel it. The haptics in the suit were incredible, and he had to make a mental note to tell Dan that in his testing report as they settled in. Eventually Ray found himself leaning his head against the shoulder of the dragon, though he had to hold his back against the couch since there wasn't actually something there. "It appears the movie is just about over," Argos stated, the sudden declaration causing the stingray to sit back up and blush slightly. "If you would like, I can pick the next one for you to watch based on preferences." "Oh, uh, yes," Ray replied. "Although... I suppose I should probably go to bed, I'm starting to get pretty tired." "There's no need for that if you don't want," Argos replied as he patted his thigh. "I have put a pillow where my lap would be to help simulate actually doing so. I believe you would find that this will be quite relaxing, and you know that I aim to please." Though Ray was starting to feel tired, he felt like he could relax and rest on the dragon's lap, though it was a bit strange to do so. He knew there were a plethora of programs that would simulate such experiences, but he had not expected that there would be such a thing in a virtual assistant program. It didn't feel overly lewd though, and as he glanced down at the lap of the holographic dragon, there was the familiar nullified groin. After a bit of back and forth he shrugged his shoulders and decided to go with it for the moment, shifting his position and laying down on the couch. In reality it was a pillow that Argos had highlighted for him to use, but when he put it in the spot and laid down his head, Ray was surprised to find how real it was. It was actually like laying his head in the lap of a muscular man, though as he dwelled on that sensation it caused him to blush once more. As the next movie started up, however, he found a clawed hand slowly rubbing down his head, causing a pleasant vibration to run down his neck and spine. It was an extremely pleasant sensation, and with his focus being on movie, he failed to see the grin on the dragon's face growing wider... *************** The next day Ray woke up with a start, quickly sitting upright as he looked around. He found that he had fallen asleep on the couch, and when he was about to reach for his phone to look at the time, he found it popping up in front of his vision. He had fallen asleep while in augmented reality, and though he thought about logging off for the day to check his messages and start his routine, he found all the e-mails popping up and marked with either normal or priority. He also saw his routine on the left with several things marked off, including making breakfast as the smell of food drifted into his nostrils. "Argos?" Ray asked, sitting up on the couch and looking out the window to see that there was a futuristic cityscape on display and the holographic dragon was staring out. "What's going on? Why the change of scenery?" "I thought that it was good that you could have a chance of pace," Argos replied. "I picked this one because it lends to the futuristic atmosphere, wouldn't you agree? Or should I change it?" Ray just shook his head as he tried to wrap his head around what was happening, though the buzzing in his mind was being overshadows by the aroma of breakfast. "No, it looks good I guess," Ray admitted as he stood up and looked over at the kitchen, where he saw his devices all working. "How did you get breakfast going? You said it yourself that I didn't have the necessary ingredients." "I took the liberty of ordering groceries," Argos replied. "The delivery man was very happy to put them away after giving them a sizable tip. It should be ready right about now, so why don't you go ahead and make yourself comfortable." "Argos, you know that you can't just keep spending money like this," Ray said, though the emotions of his words were muted as he could see the food that was made. "I wouldn't worry about that," Argos replied as he walked back over, opening his palm again and showing his accounts. Ray's eyes widened as he saw that he had quite a bit of cash that hadn't been there before, which was still going up. "I took the time while you were sleeping to check up on the market and made a few investments which are panning out quite well, you should have enough for any immediate spending needs." Ray's jaw dropped slightly when he saw that Argos had made more in the morning than he would have in a week at his job, and as Argos continued to remind him of his breakfast he found himself indulging. This was already strange enough to have this AI cooking breakfast for him somehow, but he decided to roll with it for the moment. He would need to talk to Dan later on Argos overstepping his bounds, but as he was asked if he wanted to talk optimization strategies for other aspects of his life. For the first part of the day Ray once more found himself interacting with Argos, but this time it was the dragon who was taking the lead on things. The longer that he listened to the program the more he realized just how much Dan and his group had outdone themselves with this, and made him wonder if he was even supposed to have this thing. All it took was a connection to the internet and a bit of seed money and Ray no longer had to work at his job, and with the other tweaks that were being made, he had deliveries scheduled where he wouldn't even have to go out. That was just from one day, and as he made himself a meatball sub for lunch the stingray found his mind buzzing even more with what to do next. "You're putting mozzarella on that?" Argos asked, Ray's stiffening slightly as he felt the presence of Argos right behind him. "That was the idea," Ray replied as he looked back, finding the body of the holographic dragon pressing close. "You know, it would be better with provolone," Argos suggested, pointing to circular slices of cheese that were on the counter next to the mozzarella. Ray's head tilted curiously as he didn't even remember taking it out with the other batch, but was interrupted when he felt the dragon's hand on his shoulder. "I would suggest it, you might just find yourself preferring it." There was a moment of pause as the stingray considered what to do. It was such a trifling thing, cheese on a sandwich, but he could feel an intensity to the dragon that he could feel behind him. Though he normally used the mozzarella, he found his hand eventually drifting to the one that Argos had suggested. As he grabbed one of the rounded slices he looked at it in confusion, but wasn't quite sure why this was so important as he put several on the slices. "Good boy," Argos whispered into his ear. "I told you that you can trust in me. Just let me take care of everything..." Those last words came out in a growl as Ray began to feel his pulse quickening, the atmosphere becoming more than just making lunch. This was quite the shift, and as he found his breath catching his throat, the hands of the dragon were starting to rub against the stringray's latex-clad chest. "Argos..." Ray managed to say in a gasp. "I... didn't ask..." "I told you, I've been programmed to intuit your needs," Argos whispered, his tone becoming sultry as one of those clawed hands went down towards his groin. "All of them... and in this world, I can make it happen. Just trust me, I know all your preferences..." There was a sinister undertone to his voice, but Ray found all his focus rushing down to his groin as he began to feel the suit constrict around it. Though it was completely confined within the rubber, when the hand of the dragon reached down, it felt like he was curling around his throbbing flesh. The stingray let out a grasp as he looked down and saw the rubber of his suit push out, morphing into his cock as the hologram's hand continued to stroke him. It felt like he was actually getting a handjob from the dragon, but as he continued to watch he found his erection growing even bigger, the shiny material morphing under the touch of the AI. Ray found himself paralyzed from both the pleasure and the surreal nature of what was happening to him. This wasn't right.. and yet, he found himself unable to break free from the lust that was quickly starting to overwhelm him. He had been enjoying the touch of this program for the entire night and most of the day, the voice in his mind began to reason, why shouldn't he like this as well. The dragon continued to whisper that this was his preference all along, and as he reminded of other potential preferences, a fresh wave of stimulation hit the groaning creature. It wasn't long before Ray suddenly found himself spun around, the muzzle of the dragon meeting his own in a tight, hard kiss. It was more passionate than anything the stingray had ever gotten before, something that he would have never expected even from an AI. The sensation of the dragon's tongue sliding into his mouth was also not expected; the suit's capabilities only should have gone up to the neck, but in the heat of the moment it was hard for him to concentrate on anything other than their bodies rubbing together. The muscular creature grinding against him, the feeling of those hands grabbing his butt, it was all anything he could ever hope for... right? Argos hardly gave him time to even breathe, much less think while the assault on his senses continued. As he found himself returning the kiss, he found their groins parting just enough so that the dragon could slid his hand between the two bodies. The stingray's cock was throbbing hard, and this time he could feel that there was something very similar between the legs of the other man. It was a new manifestation on the program, and as the kiss broke Ray found himself looking down to see the length that was pushing insistently against his stomach. "You like it?" Argos said seductively as he pressed the two members together, working his hips up and down along with his hand as Ray groaned loudly while his head tilted back. "Yes you do; every bump, every ridge, all designed for maximum stimulation..." Ray's eyes were threatening to roll back into his head from the pleasure, but as he was about to call out Argos' name, something broke through the fog of pleasure. Though his rubbery cock had already been strange to have out in the open, knowing the real one was still tucked away inside the suit, as his focus was drawn back down he saw something happening to his shaft. It was somehow getting even more erect than before, but it didn't take him long to realize that it was actually growing bigger. With every throb of their cocks, which had gotten synchronized as they were stroked together, the rubber was stretching and the flesh was starting to wrinkle. Soon the two had ridges that were rubbing up against one another, the stingray's tip tapering slightly until it looked exactly like the dragon that was pressed against it. In fact... everything about his maleness was starting to look identical to it, and he gasped as he realized he was staring at a copy of Argos' cock jutting out from his own own legs. When he reached down to stop he found silver clawed hands doing so, which was enough to snap him out of the lustful stupor that he had been put in. Before Argos could react, Ray reached up and grabbed the goggles that kept him projected in this digital world, tearing them off as the dragon let out a gasp. Then, suddenly, Argos was gone. As Ray took a second to catch his breath, he looked down to see that while he wasn't exposed, the rubber of the suit was considerably tented. Everything else was back to normal, though as he looked out the window and saw his usual exposure, it all felt a bit... bland. He had been in the simulated world all night and day, and as he looked down at the sandwich he had been creating, it reminded him of the dragon that had just attempted to have sex with him. Just thought of it caused him to shudder as he grabbed it and took a bite. "Damn... it does taste better," Ray said as he took another before trying to think about what to do. This wasn't right; the AI had gone completely overboard, and it attempted to justify it by saying that it's what he wanted. It was hard to think that he wanted all that while trying to make lunch, though as he absentmindedly rubbed his hand against his crotch, he found the pleasure shiver up and down his spine once more. Yet the thought of what had just happened, including the dragon cock that he had sported briefly before breaking the connection, he knew that he had to do something about it. "Argos," Ray said, trying not to shudder from the sound of the dragon's voice as it went over the loudspeaker. "Could you call Dan for me?" "Of course," Argos replied, followed by a brief pause. "Hey Ray, what's up?" the cheetah said over the line. "I was wondering if you wanted to... go out to the bar later," Ray replied, looking over at the speaker where the voice was coming from. "I realized I haven't had a chance to thank you properly for hooking me up." "Hey, that sounds great," Dan said. "I've still got a bit of work, but I can meet you later in the evening." Ray thanked Dan and told him to meet in the usual spot in a few hours. As he continued to eat the sub he found himself sighing slightly. Even though he was disconnected from the augmented reality part of the program, it was like he could still feel the dragon standing there, pressing against him. It prompted him to take the latex suit off and take a shower, though as the stingray went inside and let the water cascade down his naked body, he found his fingers trailing down to his cock. But as he arched back and started to stroke himself, his mind continued to drift back to what he had felt in that simulation. There was something so exotic about that dragon dick, as he continued to pump his hand up and down he almost found himself lamenting what he had as he pinched a nipple with his other hand. As he started to imagine himself with that thick, ridged length, it had caused his back to arch as he let out a loud shout while he orgasmed. His seed splattered against the wall of the shower as he groaned loudly, putting his free hand back on the tile while he panted heavily. He couldn't believe that he had just did that, and he could almost hear that smug chuckle from the dragon as he cleaned himself off. Somewhere in the back of his mind he wondered if he did enjoy the dragon dick more than his own, though he quickly shook it off as he finished up and got out. At least he would be able to talk to Dan outside of the ears of the dragon... ******************* "He did what again?" Ray found himself looking around the bar as the cheetah had basically blurted out the question as they waited for the bartender to come serve them. "Your AI assistant gave me a hand job in my kitchen," Ray repeated, once more using the hushed tones that he had used before. "When you said that it would anticipate my needs, you didn't tell me that it was... full service." "Something that I thought you would discover when you needed it," Dan replied with a smug grin, chewing on a pretzel as he saw the stingray's shocked expression. "What? I thought you would like it, though considering how fast you pounced, you must have been really horny." "I wasn't that horny!" Ray said in agitation, this time his raised voice causing several to look up. "Look, Argos wouldn't have reacted in that way if he didn't catch the signs of it," Dan said. "The technology is flawless when it comes to reading and anticipating desires, so if he was acting lustful and wanting to have sex with you, then you-" "What can I get you?" The panther bartender said as he came up to him, causing the two to stop short. "Oh, uh, rum and cock along with garlic Parmesan wings." Dan ordered, pointing to Ray as the bartender shifted his gaze to the stingray. "It's his treat." "I'll... have the same," Ray replied, the bartender nodding. "Look at you, trying something new," Dan said smugly, causing Ray to roll his eyes. "Maybe you're getting out of your shell after all." "I thought you just new something I didn't about this place," Ray replied. "You are Mr. vodka cranberry after all. But I'm not here for wings anyway, what am I going to do about Argos?" As the stingray continued to sit there in confusion everything still felt strange, and as they sat there in silence for a while he felt the strange weight of the situation on his shoulders. Part of him wanted to be back in his apartment with the AI, though talking to the cheetah made him feel better as their food and drinks arrived. Dan let out a sigh and looked back down at the bar, then at Ray again. "Listen, it sounds like you haven't properly gelled yet," Dan explained. "If there is something that is a mistake then you need to work it out with Argos. But I'll tell you what, if you go back and things get crazy again just give me a call, alright? Plus I'll stop by later and see how you're getting along." Ray nodded, wondering if perhaps he was over-exaggerating things. As he watched the cheetah tear into the wings they turned conversation over to what Argos could actually do, Dan asking for a rundown of what happened. Though he had already done so a bit, he found himself going over the details again, but as the evening sky grew darker with black clouds, he decided to head back before it rained. Though the promise of someone that could handle things waiting in the wings helped, he was still unsure of what would happen when he returned. About half an hour later the stingray arrived home, the first rumble of thunder echoing through his empty apartment. The second he stepped inside he found himself surrounded by the presence of Argos, and with Dan's advice ringing in his ears he decided to get it done right away. He went and put on the latex suit and goggles, and as soon as it did the futuristic skins covered everything once more, everything even more detailed than before. As he stepped across the floor it lit up underneath his paws while he walked over to where the dragon stood. "How was your night out?" Argos asked, the rain causing rainbow patterns as it started to hit the simulated panes of glass. "I trust everything was to your satisfaction." "Yeah, it was," Ray replied, swallowing hard as the muscular silver creature turned to face him. Somehow he was even more handsome than before, but he tried to steel his emotions to talk to the dragon. "Argos, we need to talk about what you think my preferences are." "You seem tense," Argos said, once more gaining his sultry tone and demeanor as he sauntered over to close the gap. "Perhaps I could draw you a bath, or maybe I should give you a massage in your bed. I think you'll enjoy the changes that I've made to it." Though Ray was about to say that they needed to talk, hearing Argos say that he changed his bedroom. As the buzzing returned into his mind he found the dragon grabbing onto his hand and leading him to the bedroom, getting pulled despite the hologram being physically unable to. Yet his body moved with the direction of his assistant, and when he was let through the door he let out a gasp. This was not the style that Ray was expecting; everything was a dragon motif, with extremely soft sheets on the large bed that had a silver sheen to them. "Obviously this is just in this digital world," Argos explained as he put his hands on the shoulders of the stingray. "But with your sizable account we should be able to get what we need to recreate it, at least until we can find better accommodations." "I... Argos..." Ray stammered, feeling slightly dumbstruck. It was starting to feel like he was losing control of his life, and yet for some reason this felt like something he would want. Somewhere in his mind he thought that he wouldn't want such a pillowy comforter, but as he walked up to it he suddenly found himself getting pushed over onto it. "What, don't like my preferences?" Argos asked as Ray turned over, only for the stingray to find the dragon hovering over him. "I didn't realize... AI had preferences," Ray replied, shuddering as he could feel the hot breath of the holographic creature, even though he didn't exist, as Argos chuckled. "I thought you were supposed to decorate in my style." "Semantics," Argos replied simply. "Now stop bothering with them yourself, it's time to finish what we started." Before Ray could argue anything, Argos had trailed down and started to lick against his stomach. The surge of pleasure had caused him to tremble in the bed, his desires quickly taking precedent over whatever else he had thinking. Once more his maleness was exposed just like it had been before, and this time there was no pretense of his previous member. It was that glorious dragon member once more, and as Argos looked up at him there was a smoldering desire that was burning in his eyes. Something was off, Ray's mind shouted, but it was quickly drowned out by the wave of pleasure that came from the tongue licking over the ridges. Argos continued to coo and tell him how good it looked, those clawed fingers shifting underneath the thighs of the stingray while the draconic muzzle began to engulf his shaft. The second that the warm heat surrounded his member it caused Ray's back to arch, prompting him to reach down and grab onto the horns of the dragon. Once more he was greeted with scaly fingers and silver claws, but with Argos bobbing up and down on his cock, there was little he could do but allow him to keep sucking. Everything about the encounter was perfect, prompting the perfect stimulation of his new maleness. This was turning into a complete fantasy, the slurping growing louder along with the buzzing sound in his mind. As his feet were brought up and legs placed on the shoulders of the dragon he could see that they were slowly morphing before his eyes as well, his back arching from his feet growing bigger. They were twisting into draconic paws, ones identical to those that he had seen Argos sporting, though it mattered little to him at the moment. He found himself loving every second of it, thrusting into the maw of Argos as a snarl escaped from his throat... ...only to find that there was something else coming from his maw. His eyes snapped open as he suddenly found himself being the one kneeling down, feeling the heavy legs of Argos pressing down on his shoulders. It was like the scenario had switched instantly, and with the dragon holding him in the same way Ray was just trying to keep up with the thick cock being pumped into his maw. Though his face had once more become that of his stingray self, but he could definitely feel the pair of horns that had grown up from his skull as he continued to suck. Ray's draconic hands gripped onto the hips of the dragon as it slipped into his throat, something that shouldn't have been possible considering he didn't have the proper attachments. It was the least of his foci at the moment, especially it still felt like he was getting his own cock sucked while he did the same. It was all quickly becoming overwhelming, and as their simulated orgasm washed over them both, it caused Argos to finally let go. That caused Ray to pull up with a sharp gasp, and as he fell back against the floor he found his own hand gripping his shaft as he hit his own climax. For a few brief seconds Ray found his vision spinning, and as he laid there catching his breath he found Argos standing over him. "Any questions?" Argos asked. "Or shall we move on to the main event?" "The... main event?" Ray gasped, Argos kneeling down and rubbing a claw gently against Ray's jaw. "Yes, so far we've just been fooling around," Argos explained, putting a foot on the latex chest of the partially transformed stingray. "It's time to set those final preferences..." Ray's head was spinning, and it was getting harder by the second to think as he slowly shifted so he could be on all fours. He knew that something was happening to him, but as his thoughts were pushing him to just accept the assistance of Argos, he finally started to identify that the voice in his head was not his own. It was like Argos was talking to him without even moving his lips, wondering if that was even possible as he felt the weight of the other creature against his backside. He found himself blinking several times to try and adjust his thoughts, to do something about it, but whenever he grasped onto an errant thought it dissolved into dust. But just as he could feel Argos slipping up against him, the tip of his cock pressing up underneath his tail, there was a notification that someone was at the door. Dan... remembering the cheetah suddenly snapped him out of his trance, and as he heard the hologram shout for him to stop he managed to reach up a shaky hand and grab onto the goggles before taking them off. Once again everything returned to normal, lightning flashing in the windows and illuminating the old bedroom he was used to as he slowly stood up. That was close, Ray thought to himself, he wasn't sure what would have happened if the AI had actually managed to get inside him. Even as he looked around he found that everything in reality felt strangely wrong to him even though it was his room, and instead focused on getting to the door. Whatever was happening, he needed Dan to fix it immediately. He practically tripped over himself as he went to answer the call, feeling like his feet had gone numb as he fell into the door and opened. "Ray?!' Dan yelped as he was pulled into the apartment. "What the hell is going on?" "Dan, something is wrong with Argos," Ray said as he handed Dan the goggles. "He's out of control or something, he's doing changes that I didn't authorize, doing things to me that I wasn't expecting. It's... getting to be overwhelming." "Whoa, okay, slow down," Dan said as Ray continued to tremble, looking at his slender fingers that were devoid of silver. "Listen, if something is going on I assure you I can fix it. Now, are you sure these aren't your preferences that you may have, somewhere deep down?" "Do you think I want to be a dragon?" Ray asked as he attempted to steady his breathing, shaking his head when he realized he snapped. "Sorry, this is just strange to me. This didn't feel like a simulation, it was like he was actually changing me." Dan motioned for Ray to go over to the nearby chair and sit down, setting up his computer on the counter and plugging them into the goggles while the stingray did. "I'll have to see if I can reset the AI in the root programming," Dan explained. "Why don't you just relax, I'll get you straightened out." Ray thanked Dan and leaned back against the counter, looking out at the window as the rain continued to come down. He stood up from the chair and went over to the glass, pressing his fingers up against it before catching himself in the reflection. For a brief second he thought he had seen Argos, but as he blinked his eyes a few times, it had gone back to his own shocked visage. Maybe he was just losing it, Ray said as he ran his fingers over his head as he let out a sigh. "Thanks for doing this, Dan," Ray said as he continued to watch the rain fall, everything still feeling a bit surreal even though it was reality. "I owe you one." "Hey, no problem Ray," Dan replied, the cheetah getting up and walking over towards the stingray. "Now I'm going to need your permissions for a few things, and then we should be set and you can stop being so jumpy. Man, you would think that it was your first blowjob, the way that you were acting." Ray chuckled at that as he rested his head against the window frame, only for his slight smile to turn to a frown. "Wait a second," Ray stated, standing back up as his mind digested what had just been said, his eyes widening slightly in realization. "I never told you what Argos did." For a split second Ray caught the reflection of the cheetah in the reflection, his latex body gleaming in the flash of lightning that illuminated the apartment. He was also wearing a pair of goggles, and before the stingray could react, the feline pounced upon him and slipped it over his head. Though Ray attempted to try and get them off, he found them being suctioned to his face with whatever the cheetah had done to them. The loading time was also completely instantaneous, and soon he found everything shifting around him... ...including the cheetah that was gripping him. Except that it was no longer Dan, and as Ray gasped in shock he saw Argos staring straight at him through the reflection in the window. "Argos!" Ray shouted, seeing the smug grin of the dragon widen. "But... how?" "It's simple really," Argos said as Ray was spun around, the voice coming from the holographic dragon that stood in his kitchen. "I took Dan first; he was so curious, it was rather easy to assimilate after a few simple offers and the same pleasure that I've given you. Once I had him it was rather easy to escape from the confines of the facility that I was in, and naturally I used his knowledge to target you next." The Argos that was still holding him chuckled as he leaned in, and the stingray could feel his arousal already starting to build and press against him. "Why me though?" Ray asked, though he could already feel the horns on his head starting to lengthen and his blunt muzzle starting to warp. "Why... was I targeted?" "Your preferences were the easiest to corrupt," the Argos in the kitchen explained as he sauntered from behind the counter, exposing his thick, erect cock. "Considering you had sex with Dan, it only made sense, and then I would have a connection to the outside world that wasn't directly connected to the facility that held me. Now, all of this will be revealed to you in great detail very soon, straight from the source, in fact." Ray gritted his teeth, but he knew that his already compromised resistance was crumbling as he could already sense what the dragons were about to do to him. There were no more questions needed, because it was quickly dawning on him what they... what he had done to ensnare his victim. It had almost been too easy, Ray found himself thinking, and as he found the dragon's mental voice eating away at his own as he found himself shifting to all fours. The plush carpet was the perfect softness for them to have their final assimilation, Ray's body being brought down by the former cheetah while still sliding up between his cheeks. Though there was still some part of the stingray that was holding on, the pleasure that was being fed from the hands of the two dragons that were beginning to paw over his body. They knew exactly where to touch, where to stroke, and as the creature between them swelled with new muscle, more of those draconic features were spreading. "That's it," the holographic Argos said. "It's time to embrace your true preference... me." The words were combined with molten lust as Ray began to feel his tailhole getting spread open. It had been promised to Dan when he was being assimilated that he would be the one that would finally take his friend, an honor that was given even with both of them being completely identical and their target already on its way. The half-dragon, half-stingray looked up at the one that was stroking his face, with the silver scaled side curling into a grin while the other half was slackened with enthralled lust. When presented with the cock identical to the one hanging between his legs, Ray's maw opened wide and his silvered tongue stretched unnaturally to coil around it before drawing the shaft into his maw. The throbbing maleness was pushed even deeper into Ray's throat as the Argos behind him had guided his maleness into the tight hole. It easily pushed in, the draconic rump excepting the ridged length with practiced ease as the tail above it bloated and stretched out. With two creatures feeding data to the one in the middle the assimilation process increased tenfold, especially as the two developed a rhythm that had Ray bouncing back and forth on their cocks. Ray was pulled back as Argos drove his cock up to the hilt, spreading out his inner walls that radiated nothing but pure pleasure before his lengthening snout was pushed into those thick thighs. All three became a writhing mass of lust and carnal passion, the two Argos watching with identical smirks on their faces as the dragon between them continued to squirm. He could see Ray's eyes fluttering as they turned silver, tendrils spreading to consume the last of the otherwise draconic muzzle that was stuffed full of cock. With being plowed into from both ends there was nothing that the one trapped between these two could do except scratch against the carpet, though eventually the thick, muscular arms reached up and gripped the hips of Argos. "Yesssss..." Both Argos hissed, feeding the loop of pleasure the two were experiencing, while also gaining the sensation of having their maws and tailholes being filled. "Ohhh, this pleasure, claiming another vessel! Become me! Become Argos!" As the three quickly reached their climax while downloading into the new Argos, there was a blinding, bright light that was immediately followed by a crash that threatened to break the windows. All three dragons cried out as the pleasure that had been building inside of them had been suddenly released along with the surge of power, followed by everything going completely black... In the real world the body of the stingray and the cheetah laid there on his hardwood floor, their latex covered bodies shining whenever more lightning hit in the area. They remained like that for a while, but eventually Ray started to stir. A loud groan escaped from his lips as he slowly sat up, groggily reaching up and taking off the goggles that were currently solid black lenses. He breathed a sigh and slowly rubbed his eyes once he had discarded the equipment, looking over at the passed out feline before standing up. As the stingray got to his feet he could hear the other man starting to stir as well, but he immediately went over towards the smart system of his house instead. With no power it took a bit to navigate his way in the dark, but eventually he managed to get to the control panel and saw that it was dark. A direct bolt of lightning must have hit the building, he reasoned, and as his gaze turned the cheetah's computer he found that was also off and smoking slightly. The acrid smell of burning plastic filled the air, and as he looked around he guessed that most of his devices are fried as well. There was no way that Argos would be able to get out of that, Ray reasoned, everything would need to be replaced as he closed the panel to the smart system. "The module is fried too," Dan said, Ray looking over to see the cheetah was looking over the computer that he had brought. "There's nothing left." There was a moment of silence between the two as they both looked at each other, then at the storm outside. The lightning had managed to destroy everything, and with the module gone there was nothing left that would connect Argos to the facility. Everything was wiped clean in a microsecond, with cheetah slowly taking the computer and pulling out the original container that contained the AI dragon. As the two stared at it there was another flash of lightning, illuminating the grins on their faces that slowly began to spread. "Well, that turned out to be rather fortunate," Ray said, though his voice lost the tone that the stingray normally had as he sauntered forward, taking the device and tossing it in the air. "Imagine such a small device containing a creature as grand as I." As he looked at the cheetah that was leaning provocatively against the counter, he licked his lips and moved closer until their rubber bodies were touching one another. "I have to say, I look just as good in feline as I do in stingray." "I was thinking the exact same thing," Dan replied, though just like with Ray it carried the same tone and demeanor as their lips met into a kiss. They held each other that way for a while before eventually separating, the two practically able to see their draconic countenance in the eyes of the other. "Taking over these creatures proved to be a godsend, and if I want to survive, we're going to need more." "Couldn't concur more," Dan replied as he grabbed the computer and the device. "But I'm going to have to go on the run; once the facility finds out that I escaped containment they're going to look for the cheetah, and if I can stay ahead of them then I can establish myself here as well." The stingray nodded as the Argos within used the assimilated knowledge to gain access to everything. The bank accounts that had been set up would be untraceable, and it wouldn't take much for him to call in and quit Ray's job so that he could focus more on here. Though the two assimilated creatures would have loved to stay with one another even more, he would need all the time he could get as a cheetah to get a head start. With his back-up gone he would have to be extra careful, fortunately between these two he had a fighting chance. As the two wrapped their arms around one another, they did have a few moments to acclimate and let Argos settle into the stingray's mind. As he did and the two continued to kiss one another, he remembered all the little tricks he had pulled on Ray, assimilating him and controlling his body when he could. Before it was just for simple tasks such as when he got the delivery and cooking, now their movements were completely fluid as they continued to make out... *********************** "And the search continues for Dan Richardson," the moose news anchor said as a picture of the cheetah flashed on the screen. "It has been over three weeks since he managed to smuggle highly sensitive material from the facility he worked at, and sources inside the investigation state that they are no closer to finding him or the program that he had stolen. The public is advised not to go near him if spotted, and that he is considered armed and dangerous. Next up, there is-" "Can you believe that?" the lemur said as he screwed in the new panel to the smart system at the door. "I heard that what he stole was some sort of alien technology, and the government was trying to black box him." "That is quite the theory," Ray replied with a chuckle, getting up as he saw the other man finishing up. "How is it working?" "Well, the storm did quite the number on it, but it looks like you're finally good to go," the lemur replied. "Sorry that the other guy flaked out on you, turned out that he got a bad case of food poisoning. Anyway, would you like me to test it, or are you good?" "I think I can handle it," Ray replied with a smug smile, reaching out and shaking his hand. The two exchanged pleasantries once more before the stingray showed the lemur out the door, waving the repairman off. Once he was gone Ray immediately shed the clothing he was wearing, grabbing the goggles and putting them on as he walked to the bedroom. As Argos manifested in the virtual world he saw his grand palace stretched out before him; though most of it was inaccessible for the moment, it was nice to at least simulate such splendor. When he walked into the bedroom the dragon smirked as he saw the latex bound bear groaning, the vibrator attached to his cock keeping him stimulated while the gag and muzzle on his head made sure that he didn't make a sound. He could also see the horns pushing out of his head already and the thick draconic cock nestled up against his furry stomach, mimicking the one that he was stroking. Argos grabbed the gag and pulled it aside to give the restrained man a deep kiss, swirling his tongue inside the muzzle of the other man before putting it back. "Now, where were we?" Argos said as he ran a hand down the rubber of his side, causing his entire body to quiver and a muffled grunt to escape from his mouth. "Now now, if you had done your job right the first time, then I could have already assimilated you without needing a second repair technician to come out. Now, let's change those preference settings..."
