Chapter Thirty: The Morning After

"Tasha."

Hmmmm?

"Tasha."

I felt my body being gently shaken as I slowly awoke from my slumber, only to be met by two mesmerizing brown eyes.

"Morning, Connor." I said quietly, slightly in a daze from the night prior.

Connor smiled, leaning down to give a chaste kiss to my lips. "You slept for 10.8 hours."

"That long, huh?" I stretched, smiling as I noticed he was still naked. He was looking at me with that innocent expression, and if looks could kill, I'd be dead... but in a good way.

"You're staring, Connor." I said as I reached out, touching his face gently.

He leaned into my touch, "How can I not stare at you?"

I blushed, shaking my head as I crawled off the bed. I groaned in pain as I stood to my feet, the events of the previous night causing me some pain and discomfort.

But it was so worth it.

"Are you alright?" Connor's expression turned to a worried one as he moved closer, analyzing me.

I nodded, "Yeah, I'm just... for someone who knows little about sex you learn fucking fast."

Connor smirked slightly as he handed me my shirt. "Well, I will take that as a compliment, my love."

The words fell from his lips sweetly, causing me to swoon slightly as I pulled my shirt over my head.

"Where'd you learn to do all that anyways?"

"Do you know how many romance movies you've made me watch?"

"Ummmmm like five?"

"Fourteen and a half." Connor said with a slight smirk.

"Okaaaay but none of those movies were that... detailed."

Connor tapped on his LED. "I know things."

"Thank god for that." I stuck my tongue out at him as I reached behind Connor for my phone.

Absentmindedly I turned my eyes towards the clock.

10:09

"10:09?!" I gasped as I hurriedly grabbed my pants from the floor. "We're late. Isn't that against your programming?" I asked as I began to pull on jeans.

Connor watched me with a slightly smug smile, "I was unable to wake you until now, and your body needed the 10.8 hours of sleep or you could have gone into distress. We can't have that, can we?"

I rolled my eyes as I pushed my hair behind my ears, trying to get out as many tangled as I could. I glanced to my neck, which was covered in purple love bites. "Gah, no time for makeup." I muttered as I turned to Connor who in no time at all had gotten dressed entirely.

When we arrived at the station, I noticed Connor was holding himself differently, almost proudly as he strut towards his desk.

"What's got you in such a good mood?" Hank asked, eyebrows raised as he glanced between the couple.

"If you must know, Tasha and I participated in sexual relations last night."

Coffee. Everywhere.

My face went bright red as I tried to hide behind my monitor.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY, BOY?!" Hank yelled, looking like he was about to leap over to Connor's desk and beat him.

"Tasha and I had sex." Connor said bluntly, a smirk on his face. "I now understand why humans enjoy it so much."

Oh my god, is this really happening?!

I cringed as I banged my head against my desk, not hard enough to injure myself, but enough that it distracted me.

"Price! Connor! My office, now!"

I took a deep breath as I walked into the captains office, trying to look presentable but failing miserably.

"Price, you know I don't mind slight tardiness— but three hours late?! What could have possibly been so important?"

"I- uh- I slept in. I thought I set my alarm but I guess I forgot." I lied, trying to hide the love bites on my neck with my hair. "I'm really sorry, sir."

The captain sighed, turning to Connor. "Why the hell are you late?"

"If I may sir, it's my fault Tas—Miss Price was late. I kept her up most of the evening."

The Captain's eyes widened slowly as it dawned on him. "You— uh— What?"

"Tasha and I were having—"

"CAN YOU NOT TELL EVERYONE THAT?!"

Connor looked at me with confused eyes, while the Captain just shook his head, and I swear he turned the slightest shade of red.

"Just don't make a habit of being late."

"Yes sir."

As Connor leaves the room I'm left standing there speechless, my face beet red.

"Sir, I—"

"Hey, whatever floats your boat, Price." He had a slight smirk on his face as he turned back towards his monitor.

I sighed in relief as I left his office.

That could've gone so much worse.

As I walked towards my desk I noticed Connor and Gavin standing in front of each other.

That isn't good.

I walked up to them, overhearing some of the conversation.

"—I believe I made her scream over 89 times last night." Connor said smugly, but factually as he looked at Gavin.

Part of me wanting to slap him, part of me was proud of him for sticking up to Gavin.

"You— so you, you two?"

"Had sex?" I asked as I walked past them to my desk, sitting down with a smug smile. "Yes, yes we did."

Gavin seemed taken aback, he opened his mouth to speak but closed it as he walked away to his desk.

Connor turned, smiling at me. He reached forward and pushed my hair away from my neck, exposing the love marks.

"Connor!" I chided quietly, blushing all the while.

His smile only grew, his brown eyes twinkling like the stars at night. "I want everyone to know you're mine."

"I think you've made that abundantly clear, darling." I ruffled his hair playfully before walking over to my desk.

Gavin glanced over at me from his cubicle, sighing in what sounded like defeat. "Was it at least good?"

I raised my eyebrows questioningly at him, "The sex?"

"What else would I be talking about?" He rolled his eyes.

I rolled my eyes in return, facing my monitor. "If you must know, Yes. It was better than good."

Gavin hummed in reply, "Y'know, I didn't think Connor had it in him. He seems so... innocent."

"Well he definitely isn't as bold as you are, Gavin." I teased, "but he..." I trailed off, blushing as I thought about the previous night. "CyberLife did a good job when creating him."

Gavin groaned in disgust. "Too much info, Tash."

"You're the one asking, Gav." I replied with a small smirk.

"Hey, guys. Sorry to interrupt — whatever the hell it is your talking about, but this is for you." Chris handed me a file folder. "A new deviant was spotted in the Alonzo district."

I nodded, taking the folder over to Hank and Connor.

"Duty calls, boys."
