Andrew liked waking up next to Marta. She was still asleep and he could hear her long, slow breaths. There was enough light for him to see the rise and fall of her chest, her breasts seeming to swell in invitation and then withdraw in tease. He looked at her face although he had every detail memorized. He marvelled at her beauty as he watched her codes flicker on and off. He wanted to learn as much as he could about Marta’s codes so he could make sure she was happy and satisfied.
Thinking about codes reminded him how much work he had to do. He had changed nothing about Marta’s physical appearance and just a few of her perception values. He based the changes in her perceptions on observations of her reactions to different men. He had tweaked her codes to make her see him as a bit taller than he was with broader shoulders and impossibly narrow hips. Naturally he could modify his physical shape to match her ideal, but then how would he explain the changes to his friends and family? He did add half an inch to his height thinking people expected growth spurts to extend into a boy’s college years, but too many changes to his build would be noticed and lead to questions he did not want to answer. So he tuned Marta to find him attractive. He was pleased with the result.
