Single Wired Female (Wired for Love Book 2)
is sick,” she replied. “I am helping him to get better. His organs are failing but I have studied all of the medical manuals. There is a 5.002% chance that he can survive and then he will be himself again.”
    “So, you’re a medical droid who sleeps with its patients? Is that what I’m to get from all of this?”
    “I don’t think your tone is nice or appropriate,” the android said and the smile vanished from her features.
    Bonnie walked over to one of the terminals and tried to read what was on the screen. The dream’s blurry edges made this hard to do so she gave up and faced the android once again.
    “Seriously, what’s wrong with him? I do want to know,” she said.
    “He traded his health to make me beautiful and now his life is depleting. On the internet I learned that the human body is made up of elements measured to an exact percentage. I have managed to supplement them back to Brad’s body. It took a lot of learning and now he is whole again. Soon he won’t need those drip lines. The brain is what has been a real challenge but I am almost there in figuring it out. There is an ancient practice of—”
    “Are you talking alchemy?” Bonnie asked as she took the heel of her hand and smacked it against her forehead. “Seriously?” she said and began to laugh. “So magic and love is what you’re using to bring your master back? I like androids but you are something else. I don’t know who messed with your clockwork, sister—”
    “Keep on laughing if it makes you feel better. See if I care,” the android said. “Any minute now the cops are going to barge in here and ruin everything I’ve worked on, anyway. They will come to haul Brad away for mechanophilia and then they will see the medical equipment and assume that I am up to something sinister.”
    “But you are.” Bonnie laughed. “You’re trying to make lead into gold!” This last bit made her scream so loud with laughter that she could feel herself waking up.
    “Well, it may be funny to you now but there was a time when we really tried to love him, Bonnie.”
    This final statement stopped Bonnie’s laughter as the impact of the “we” came through. She sat up in the bed and drew her legs in close. It was a silly dream but the android’s final words had managed to frighten her. She looked through the glass door that led out to her balcony and stared at the ships in the harbor.
    Had she watched a movie that inspired such a creepy dream? It was so sexy yet frightening at the same time. Bonnie thought on this for an extremely long time but then chalked it up to the long period of time that she had been without a partner. It made sense, at least for the android to be sleeping with a human man. She recognized the woman’s face as the accomplice from the video—that was why she dreamt of her. Now the medical equipment was self-explanatory. She had been in a hospital for a really long time and so the dream had combined her horny subconscious with the tubes and drips from her hospital room. The alchemy was just the oddball logic of her dream, and the man…well, he seemed familiar but she just couldn’t place him.
    Her throat felt dry so she went to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. She took a deep drink but then a thought came to her mind and it made her freeze to consider. She was a young woman who hadn’t slept with a man in an extremely long time. She had been married but they had no children and she had been menstruating her entire adult life. It dawned on her that she hadn’t had her period since the time she discovered consciousness inside of the hospital bed.
    She had examined herself—some for hygiene, some for play—and things were working as they should. Everything was as it was supposed to be since the last time she checked but she hadn’t bled, and that more than anything else became a cause for panic as she stood like a statue in front of the open refrigerator door.
