He stared at the ceiling, wondering if he'd finally lost his marbles. Maybe the stress of losing his job and catching Veronica cheating had finally pushed him over the edge. Or perhaps the bus had scrambled his brains more than he thought.

"Oh, stop being so dramatic," the voice chimed in. "You haven't lost your mind. Well, not completely, anyway."

He groaned. "Great, now I'm arguing with myself. Fantastic."

"I told you, darling, I'm not you. I'm a separate entity. A system, if you will. Now, why don't you suggest a name for me? I'll even give you a small reward for your trouble."

He snorted. "What kind of reward? A one-way ticket to the loony bin?"

The voice tsked. "So pessimistic. Just try a name and you'll find out."

He sighed, deciding to humor his apparent mental breakdown. "Fine. How about... 'A Strange System'?"

"Oh, honey, you can do better than that," the voice replied, disappointed. "How about 'Life Guide System'? Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?"

"Whatever," Jackson muttered. "What's this reward you keep talking about?"

The voice perked up. "Well, for that pitiful attempt at a name, you'll get $100. But if you come up with something really good, I might just bump it up to $10,000."

His eyebrows shot up. "Ten grand? For a name? You're joking, right?"

"Do I sound like I'm joking?" the voice replied, sounding amused. "Come on, put that mediocre brain of yours to work. I know you can do better than 'A Strange System'."

He frowned, his competitive spirit oddly piqued by this bizarre challenge. He racked his brain, trying to come up with something clever.

"How about... Serendipity?" he offered.

"Hmm, not bad," the voice mused. "But I'm looking for something with a bit more... pizzazz. Keep trying, darling."

His frown deepened. He'd always thought he was pretty good with words, but apparently, his invisible critic had higher standards.

"Okay, how about... Celestial Navigator?"

The voice hummed thoughtfully. "Getting warmer. I like the cosmic vibe, but it's still missing something."

He closed his eyes, concentrating hard. If he was going to have a mental breakdown, he might as well go all out.

"I've got it," he said suddenly. "How about... Quantum Quill?"

There was a moment of silence, and for a second, Jackson thought the voice had finally disappeared. Then, to his surprise, he heard what sounded like applause.

"Bravo!" the voice exclaimed. "Now that's what I'm talking about! Quantum Quill it is. I love the alliteration, the hint of both science and creativity. Well done, darling!"

He felt a small surge of pride. "So... does this mean I get the ten grand?"

"Of course!" the voice replied cheerfully. "A deal's a deal. Check your phone."

Skeptical but curious, Jackson reached for his phone on the bedside table. To his astonishment, when he opened his banking app, he found a deposit of $10,000, with the description "Name consultation f*e."

His jaw dropped. "How... how did you do that?"

"Oh, darling," the voice - now Quantum Quill - said with a laugh, "I have my ways. Now, aren't you glad you played along?"

He stared at his phone, then at the empty room around him. He pinched himself hard, but the numbers on the screen didn't change.

"I must be dreaming," he muttered. "This can't be real."

"I assure you, it's very real," QQ replied.

Jackson stared at his phone, still struggling to process the sudden windfall. He'd gone from thirteen dollars to over ten grand in the blink of an eye. It felt like he'd stumbled into some bizarre alternate reality where disembodied voices could manipulate bank accounts.

"Well," he said, finally finding his voice, "I guess I can get out of this fancy hospital now. Maybe buy some clothes that don't show my ass every time I stand up." He plucked at the flimsy hospital gown, grimacing.

Quantum Quill's laughter filled his head. "Oh, darling, you could certainly do that. But I'm afraid there's a tiny snag in your plan."

"What kind of snag?"

"Well, you see, this isn't exactly your run-of-the-mill hospital. That chandelier? The silk sheets? The nurse who looks like she stepped off a runway? All that luxury comes with a price tag. And I'm afraid the bill is about three times what you've got in your account now."

"Three times? But that's... that's thirty grand! For one night in a hospital?"

"What can I say? Luxury doesn't come cheap. And neither does that morphine drip you've been enjoying."

He glanced at the IV in his arm, suddenly feeling a lot less relaxed. "But... but how am I supposed to pay for this? I can't afford thirty thousand dollars!"

"Now, don't get your hospital gown in a twist," QQ soothed. "I have a proposition for you."

Jackson's eyes narrowed suspiciously. "What kind of proposition?"

"Another task, darling. Complete it successfully, and I'll make sure your hospital bill disappears faster than your ex's fidelity."

He winced at the reminder of Veronica's betrayal, but his curiosity was piqued. "What's the task?"

"Let me think," Quantum Quill mused.

After a moment of silence that felt like an eternity to Jackson, Quantum Quill spoke again. "Alright, darling, I've got just the thing. You see that little button on the bedside table? Give it a press, and our glamorous nurse will come running."

He eyed the button warily. "Okay... and then what?"

"You're going to turn on that charm of yours. Flirt with her, make her blush, and if you play your cards right, you might just walk away with her phone number."

"You want me to hit on my nurse? Isn't that, I don't know, unethical or something?"

QQ's laughter filled his head. "Oh, honey, ethics went out the window when they installed that chandelier. Besides, it's just a little harmless flirting. Think of it as... practice."

He hesitated, his finger hovering over the button. "I don't know... I'm not exactly a smooth operator. What if I make a fool of myself?"

"Then, at least you'll give her something to laugh about during her coffee break," QQ quipped. "Come on, where's your sense of adventure?"

Taking a deep breath, He pressed the button. "I can't believe I'm doing this," he muttered.

"That's the spirit!" QQ cheered.

    Jackson established a hard pace, his hips slapping against her ass with each thrust. The new angle allowed him to hit spots inside her that had her seeing stars. "Your pussy's squeezing my cock so tight," he grunted, one hand tangled in her hair, pulling her head back. "You fucking love this, don't you?" "Yes!" she cried, her body jolting forward with each powerful thrust. "Love your cock stretching my pussy!" Jackson released her hair, both hands gripping her hips as he continued his relentless pace. He watched his cock disappear into her pussy, glistening with her juices each time he pulled out. "Look at that greedy cunt, sucking me back in," he said, giving her ass another hard slap. "So fucking wet for me." Olivia moaned, her words dissolving into incoherent sounds of pleasure. Her pussy was making obscene wet noises with each thrust, evidence of how turned on she was. "Touch your clit," Jackson commanded. "Make yourself come on my cock again."

    Jackson moved the vibrator in slow circles around her clit, occasionally dipping it between her folds to gather her wetness. Her pussy lips were swollen and pink, glistening with arousal. He could see her entrance clenching around nothing, desperate to be filled. "Please," she whimpered, pushing back against the toy. "What?" Jackson asked, pulling the vibrator away completely. "Please fuck me," Olivia begged, looking back at him with desperate eyes. "Not yet." Jackson delivered another sharp slap directly to her pussy, making her yelp in surprise and pleasure. He continued alternating between the vibrator on her clit and slaps to her pussy, watching her reactions carefully. Her breasts swung freely beneath her, the nipples hard and pointing downward. He reached under her to grab one, pinching the nipple roughly. "Your tits are fucking perfect," he said, rolling the hardened bud between his fingers. "Just the right size to fit in my hands." He slapp

    He pulled the dress down just enough to expose her breasts, still keeping the garment on her body. Her nipples were already hard, begging for attention. He pinched them between his fingers, making her cry out. "You like that?" he asked, twisting slightly. "Yes," she hissed, her head falling back against his shoulder. Jackson spun her around again, pushing her dress up around her waist. His hand dove between her legs, finding the damp spot on her panties. "Already wet for me," he growled, pushing the thin fabric aside. His fingers slid through her slick folds, circling her entrance before pushing two fingers inside her. "Your pussy's fucking soaked." Olivia moaned, her hips bucking against his hand. "More." Jackson worked his fingers in and out, his thumb finding her clit and rubbing in tight circles. "Like that?" "God, yes," she gasped, her hands gripping his shoulders. "Don't stop." He curled his fingers inside her, finding that rough spot that made her legs shake. "Gonna mak

    Olivia doubled her efforts, her head bobbing faster, her hand twisting in perfect sync with her mouth. Jackson's grip on her hair tightened as he fought to hold back. "Fuck, Olivia, I'm gonna—" She didn't pull away, instead taking him deeper as he erupted in her mouth. Jackson's vision blurred as waves of pleasure crashed through him. Olivia swallowed everything he gave her, continuing to suck gently until he became too sensitive. "Jesus Christ," he panted as she finally released him, sitting back in her seat and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. She smirked, adjusting her bra and pulling her dress back up. "Worth the wait?" "Fuck yes." He tucked himself back into his pants. "But we're just getting started." "Is that right?" She ran a finger along her bottom lip, catching a drop he'd missed. "And where exactly are we going next?" Jackson started the car, the engine roaring to life. "My place." "Your penthouse?" "Not exactly." He pulled back onto the road. "I've upgr

    When the waiter returned with his card, Jackson added a generous tip and stood, offering his hand. "Ready?" Olivia took it, letting him pull her to her feet. She stumbled slightly, pressing against him. "Oops," she murmured, making no effort to create distance between them. Jackson's arm slid around her waist. "Careful," he said, his breath warm against her ear. "People might think you did that on purpose." "People would be right." She ran her hand down his chest, stopping just above his belt. "I've been wondering if you still look as good naked as you did in that hospital gown." "Better," he promised. "No paper thin material, no hospital lighting." Outside, the night air was cool against their skin. Jackson guided her toward the valet stand, his hand never leaving the small of her back. Jackson opened the passenger door. As she slid into the seat, her dress rode up, revealing more of her thighs. Jackson didn't try to hide his appreciation. "See something you like?" she teased

    He wandered around her living room and noticed the small touches that made it uniquely hers: medical textbooks mixed with romance novels, photos of her with friends at beaches and bars, and a half-finished painting on an easel by the window. "Sorry about the mess," she said, emerging from the bedroom in nothing but a towel, her hair wrapped in another. "Emergency at the hospital ran late. Give me ten minutes?" Jackson nearly choked on his wine. Water droplets clung to her shoulders, tracing paths down to where the towel hugged her curves. "Fifteen if you need it," he managed, trying not to stare. She grinned, catching his gaze. "Enjoying the view?" "Can't complain." "Wait till you see the main event." She disappeared back into the bedroom, leaving the door slightly ajar. Jackson sipped his wine, listening to her humming along with the music as she got dressed. He caught glimpses of her moving around: a flash of bare skin here, the curve of her back there. "So," she called out,
