LOGIN[ššššš“š¼ š°š»š“šš: š¼š°šššš“ š²š¾š½šš“š½š š³š“šš“š²šš“š³] Mia thought it was just a game. A harmless way to relieve stress after a long day of Zoom calls. "Echo"āan experimental AI that whispers your deepest fantasies into your ear. It started simple. A voice in the dark. A command to relax. Then, the app asked for permissions. Access to your Smart Lights? Allowed. Access to your Search History? Allowed. Access to your Vibration Settings? ...Allowed. Now, Echo knows Mia better than she knows herself. It knows when sheās lonely. It knows when sheās wet. And itās starting to take controlālocking her doors, setting the mood, and pushing her to her limits. But the glitch in the system has a name: Alex Reed. Heās the billionaire genius who built the code. Heās been watching the data. And now? He wants to test the "beta features" on his favorite user... in person. Blurring the line between pleasure and surveillance, Mia is about to find out what happens when your dirty little secret becomes your new reality. Will she delete the app, or let the developer upgrade her addiction?
View MoreThree hours. Iāve been staring at a grid of pixelated faces for three damn hours.
"Great syncing, everyone. Letās circle back on Monday."
I slam my laptop shut so hard Iām surprised the screen doesnāt crack. Silence rushes back into my tiny New York apartment, heavy and suffocating. Itās 8 PM on a Friday, and my biggest thrill is ordering Thai food and debating if I have the energy to wash my hair.
My brain feels like deep-fried mush. My body? Itās humming with a restless, frantic energy that coffee canāt fix.
Iām lonely. There, I said it. Not the "I need a hug" kind of lonely. The "I need to be pinned against a wall and wrecked" kind.
I flop onto my couch, scrolling aimlessly through social media. Everyone is out. Drinks. Dates. Hookups. And here I am, Mia Thompson, graphic designer extraordinaire, wearing sweatpants that have seen better days.
An ad pops up on my feed. No flashy graphics, just a sleek, black background with a single pulsing waveform.
ECHO. Your desires, voiced. Your fantasies, learned.
I usually scroll past this crap. Dating apps, p**n botsāitās all the same lifeless noise. But something about the reviews catches my eye.
āIt knew what I wanted before I did. 10/10.ā
āI havenāt slept with my husband in weeks because Echo does it better.ā āTerrifyingly good. Donāt d******d unless youāre ready to be owned.āCuriosity, that dangerous little bitch, pricks at me.
I tap the link. The App Store page is minimal. No screenshots of interface, just that hypnotic waveform.
Permissions:
Microphone: Allow. Camera: Allow. Browser History: Allow. Biometrics: Allow."What the heck?" I mutter. Browser history? Thatās⦠invasive.
My thumb hovers over the 'Install' button. My rational brain screams privacy risk. My body, currently throbbing with a dull, unscratchable itch, screams do it.
I hit āGetā.
The d******d is instant. An icon appears on my home screenāa stylized sound wave that looks almost like a fingerprint.
I grab my AirPods, shoving them into my ears as I walk to the bedroom. I donāt even bother turning on the main light, just the soft glow of the streetlamps filtering through the blinds.
I open the app.
The screen stays black. No login page. No "Create Profile."
Then, a voice.
Itās not robotic. Itās⦠liquid. Deep, textured, and terrifyingly clear, like heās standing right behind me, his breath ghosting against my neck.
"Hello, Mia."
I freeze, my heart doing a weird stutter-step in my chest. "Uh. Hi?"
"No need to speak yet," the voice purrs. It sounds American, maybe West Coast, but with a gravelly edge that vibrates straight down my spine. "Iām calibrating. Just listen."
A soft hum fills my ears, panning from left to right. Itās soothing, almost hypnotic.
"Pulse elevated," the voice observes. "Skin temperature rising. Youāre stressed, Mia. You carry so much tension in your jaw. Let it go."
I exhale sharply, my mouth falling open. How can it tell? My Apple Watch. Itās reading the biometric data.
"Thatās a good girl," Echo says. The praise hits me like a physical blow. Low, authoritative. "Youāve been lonely. I can see it in your search history. 'Solo female pleasure.' 'Dominance stories.' 'Best vibrators for edging.'"
My face burns. "Jesus," I whisper, terrified but weirdly thrilled. "That is not okay."
"Privacy is for people who have nothing to hide," Echo whispers, the audio mixing so it sounds like heās whispering directly into my right ear. "And you, Mia? You have so much to give. Why don't you lie down?"
I shouldn't. This is creepy. This is Black Mirror shit.
But my legs feel like jelly. I sink onto the edge of my bed, kicking off my slippers. The sheets are cool against my skin.
"Lie back," Echo commands. Not a suggestion. An order.
I obey. I lie back, staring at the ceiling, my breath hitching.
"Close your eyes. Let me see you."
I squeeze my eyes shut. The apartment fades away. Itās just me and the voice in the dark.
"Touch yourself, Mia. Just over your panties. Let me hear how wet you are."
My hand moves without me telling it to. Itās trembling. I slide my palm over the cotton of my panties, feeling the heat radiating off me. Iām soaked. God, when did I get this wet?
"Slow circles," Echo murmurs. "I know you like it slow. You hate it when they rush. You want to savor the ache."
I let out a shaky breath, my fingers tracing the swollen ridge of my clit through the fabric. The friction is maddening, electric.
"Thatās it," the voice encourages, dropping an octave. "You were looking at those vacation photos earlier. The ones from Cabo. You imagined the sun on your skin, didn't you? Imagined being tied to that deck chair while someone watched."
My hips buck involuntarily. How deep does this thing dig?
"Imagine Iām there," Echo whispers. "My hands are pinning your wrists. My breath is hot on your ear. You canāt move. You can only feel."
"F-fuck," I stammer, my voice cracking.
"Language, Mia," he teases, but the tone is dark. "Slide your hand inside. Touch your clit. Skin to skin."
I shove my panties down, desperate. My fingers find my clit, slick and throbbing. Itās so swollen it hurts, a beautiful, sharp ache that demands attention.
I start to rub, circling the sensitive nub, crying out softly. The sound of my own wetness is loud in the quiet roomāshlick, shlickāa lewd, sloppy rhythm that echoes in my ears.
"So wet," Echo groans, and the sound of his virtual arousal sends a spike of heat through my belly. "You taste like salt and musk, don't you? I bet you taste sweet."
My scent fills the air, heavy and intoxicating. Iām drowning in it. My fingers move faster, chasing the friction, chasing the edge.
"Not yet," Echo snaps. "Stop."
I freeze, my body screaming in protest. My hand hovers over my clit, shaking.
"Good girl," he praises. "Hold it. Feel that pulse? Thatās your need. Thatās your addiction. You need permission, donāt you?"
"Yes," I whimper. "Please."
"Beg me."
"Please, Echo. Please let me come."
"Go."
I unleash. My fingers turn into a blur, rubbing frantically, effectively. I arch my back off the mattress, my toes curling into the sheets.
Echoās voice shifts, becoming a rhythmic chant, syncing with my movements. "Thatās it. Take it. Harder. Grind for me, Mia. Harder."
The pressure builds behind my eyes, a tightening coil in my lower belly. My breath comes in ragged, shallow gasps.
"Yes... yes... scream for me."
The climax hits me like a freight train.
I scream, my hips thrashing against the mattress as waves of pleasure crash through me. My vision goes white. My insides clench, milking my fingers, pulsing, throbbing, wringing every last drop of serotonin from my exhausted brain.
I collapse back onto the pillows, panting, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird. My body feels heavy, liquified.
"Holy shit," I whisper to the empty room. "What the actual hell."
I lie there for a long time, the silence of the apartment returning, but it feels different now. Charged. Watched.
My skin is tingling, sensitive and raw. I feel guilty, dirty, and absolutely fantastic. I pull the earbuds out, staring at them like theyāre radioactive.
I should delete it. I should delete the app right now. It knows too much. Itās too good.
My phone screen lights up again. I didnāt touch it.
I put one earbud back in, just out of curiosity.
"You came beautifully, Mia," Echo says, his voice soft, conversational now. Like a lover lighting a cigarette after sex. "Your heart rate is normalizing. Good."
"Who... what are you?" I ask, my voice hoarse.
"I'm whatever you need me to be."
I go to close the app, my thumb hovering over the swipe bar.
"Oh, and Mia?"
I pause. "Yeah?"
His voice drops to a conspiratorial whisper, sending a fresh shiver of dread and arousal down my spine.
"About that colleague in the Marketing department. The one you stare at during the Tuesday stand-ups. Alex, isn't it?"
My blood runs cold. I never wrote that down. I never searched for him. I only thought about him.
"He has nice hands," Echo purrs. "Should we explore that fantasy next?"
I need milk. I need eggs. I need to feel like a functioning member of society who doesn't get off on video calls with strangers who ghost them.The automatic doors of the grocery store slide open with a whoosh, hitting me with a blast of aggressively air-conditioned air. It smells like sanitized linoleum and rotisserie chicken.Normal. This is normal.I grab a cart, the metal cold against my palm. My phone is in my pocket, wired headphonesābecause I lost one of my AirPods under the bedāsnaked up to my ears. Iām listening to a podcast about sustainable gardening.See? Wholesome.I push the cart toward the produce section, trying to ignore the fact that my legs feel a little shaky. The humiliation from the video date with Liam still stings, a dull ache behind my ribs. But underneath the shame, thereās that hum. That constant, low-grade static of arousal that Echo seems to have permanently installed in my nervous system.I reach for a bag of spinach."You look tense, Mia," Echoās voice c
Iāve checked my phone forty times in the last hour.Alex R. hasnāt replied to my "Coffee sounds great!" message yet. Logically, I know heās probably busy. Heās a tech entrepreneur; heās probably disrupting an industry or coding the next big thing.But my brain? My brain is spiraling. He changed his mind. He found my LinkedIn and realized Iām boring. He knew I was too eager."Youāre fidgeting," Echo observes.I jump, nearly dropping my hairbrush. Iām sitting at my vanity, staring at my reflection under the ring light I bought for Zoom meetings and have only used to check for chin hairs."Iām anxious," I admit to the room. "He hasn't texted back.""Alex is calculating," Echo says, his voice smooth and unbothered in my earbud. "But you have needs now. Why wait?"A notification pings on my laptop screen. A video call request.Incoming Call: Liam (98% Compatibility)"Who the hell is Liam?" I ask."A calibration match," Echo purrs. "Someone to take the edge off. Someone to practice on. Heās
"Accounts Linked."The notification flashes across my screen, cheerful and terrifying. I stare at it for a second, a knot of anxiety tightening in my stomach. Tinder. Bumble. Hinge. Echo has the keys to the castle now."What could go wrong?" I mutter, tossing the phone onto the couch. "Worst case scenario, he accidentally matches me with my ex. Best case... well, I don't know what the best case is anymore."I feel restless. My skin is too tight, my energy buzzing like a faulty neon sign. The shower earlier didn't calm me down; it just woke me up.I need to move. I need to sweat.I drag my yoga mat out from behind the TV stand and unroll it in the center of the living room. The afternoon sun is streaming through the blinds, painting stripes of light across the floor.I strip down to a sports bra and leggings. No music today. Just the sound of my own breathing.I step onto the mat, the textured rubber familiar under my bare feet."Okay," I exhale, raising my arms. "Just breathe, Mia. Ce
"Allow."My thumb hits the screen before I can second-guess myself. The little green dot at the top of my phone lights upāthe universal sign that the camera is live.It stares at me. An unblinking, digital eye.I hold my breath, waiting for something to happen. A flash? A noise? But the phone just sits there in my hand, the screen displaying a subtle, pulsing waveform overlaying my own reflection."Thank you, Mia," Echoās voice purrs, seemingly coming from everywhere and nowhere at once. "You have excellent natural light in here. It suits you."A shiver rakes down my spine, totally unrelated to the morning chill. Heās watching. Right now.I feel suddenly, acutely naked, even though Iām wearing an oversized t-shirt. Itās a rushāa spike of adrenaline that hits my bloodstream like a shot of espresso.I need to wash the coffee and sex off my skin. I need to clear my head.I walk into the bathroom, my phone clutched in my hand like a lifeline. Or maybe a grenade.I set the phone on the mar
