The Vespah Lounge: Guaranteed to get you off one last time

Chapter 1 - The Trip to Austin

Twenty-five year old scientist Kaylee Oreck walked from the lunchroom back to her desk. Having finished her meal, it was time to get back to work. On the way, she noticed her young colleague and lab partner, Tucker Swanson, mingling with a couple young ladies. The women were being playful with him, one feeding him a spoonful of fruit salad.

Kaylee shook her head with a smirk. The young male intern was a hit with the female interns. Good for him, she thought.

She was entering her fourth year working at Phenom Tech, a Minnesotan company which specialized in textile advancements, experimenting with various materials to mix and match with to create sportswear, swimwear, and other various sorts of attire. It was a company that was managed almost exclusively by women.

Kaylee whistled a tune that she’d heard while in the cafeteria when she saw her boss, Ginger, standing in front of the door to her lab.

“Kaylee, got good news for you”, announced Ginger with a smile.

“Hiya boss. What’s up?”

“You’ve been selected to go to the Discovery Summit this weekend”, said Ginger. “And your two interns will be joining you.”

“Uh..that’s wonderful”, exclaimed Kaylee. The Discovery Summit was always described by those who had attended as a fun event and it was also essentially a company-sponsored vacation to a warm locale. She was surprised to have been selected, but felt very privileged to be able to go.

“Come by my office later and I’ll fill you in on all the details”, Ginger said, than left her after a warm congratulatory pat on the shoulder.

Kaylee found out that the summit was being held in Austin. She smiled to herself, as she’d went to school in the area and had visited the Forbidden Dish there several times as well as attending the grand opening of a competitor in shrinking technology, the Vespah Lounge. Unlike the fancy restaurant trappings that Forbidden Dish was known for, the Vespah Lounge was more akin to a new wave bar and strip joint. It catered heavily to the needs of the male customers – in fact, it’s trademark slogan was ‘Guaranteed to get you off one last time.’ Because of it’s nature, it was not a heavily frequented locale by female patrons, though they did visit from time to time. Instead, the female strippers were the attraction that brought in the male patrons, most of the time for their one and only visit. Luckily for Kaylee, she was friends with one of the headline girls who happened to attend university with her. I might just have to check up on Nautica and see how she’s doing, she thought with a thoughtful nod.

She notified her two interns, Tucker and Bucky, of the weekend plans and both were exuberant upon learning of the summit.

“Really? I can go too?”, Tucker exclaimed. He had lived something of a charmed life thus far, but he always liked to express his gratitude and surprise when thinks went his way, lest he be seen as taking things for granted and karma shift against him. Privately, he wondered what had brought the choice to send him along with Bucky. He wondered if Kaylee secretly harbored some feelings towards him which she had heretofore not displayed.

Kaylee took Tucker’s comment in stride and looked him over appraisingly along with Bucky. “Sure Tuckems. You boys both appear healthy, fit and intelligent - prime specimens of the male form, so to speak. I’m sure that’s why boss selected you.”

Bucky and Tucker gave each other a look. Neither understood the comment by Kaylee, but neither was about to challenge her compliment. And even though he cringed internally at Kaylee’s pet name for him of ‘Tuckems’ (he felt she said it to reinforce the age difference between them), Tucker was good at hiding his thoughts without making an expression.

Both interns were students, working only for the summer before returning for their final year at university. They got along well, though they had divergent backgrounds and personalities. Tucker was white, twenty years of age, just over 6’0 tall , and had been raised in a laid-back middle-class household in Connecticut. At around 5’10”, Bucky Swiss was black and a product of Louisiana. Also twenty years of age, his appearance was even more youthful and he could easily pass as a teen of eighteen or nineteen. Whereas Tucker seemed to wear a confident smirk and moved about in smooth deliberate strides, Bucky moved with grace and fluidity and was both efficient and succinct in his mannerisms, though not unfriendly, as he always seemed to have a smile on his face. And unlike Tucker, he was clean-cut and well-groomed. Like Tucker, he was also good-looking, albeit with a seemingly endless bundle of energy.

Kaylee was of German and Italian descent, a very pretty brunette with olive-colored skin and a seemingly perpetual blush on her cheeks, a button nose, and hypnotic brown eyes which competed with a sprinkling of freckles for her cutest facial features. When she wore her ruby red lip gloss, which was frequent, she was quite stunning. Both Bucky and Tucker adored her, even though she was very business-like and rarely joked around them.

For the next couple days, mum was the word. Strangely, Kaylee had instructed them not to tell any of the other scientists or their lab mates about their being selected for the summit. “We don’t want to ruffle any feathers for others who might have wanted to go”, she explained.

Friday arrived soon enough and the three took a plane to Austin, landing close to 1pm. They arrived for the first seminar at 2pm and it lasted well into the evening, finishing near 7pm. They retired afterward to their posh hotel.

After sharing a nice meal in the hotel restaurant, they visited the pool, where Kaylee wore a simple two-piece bathing suit which showed off her toned, tanned, curvaceous figure. Tucker and Bucky exchanged looks – Tucker had never seen Kaylee in this light before. She had simply been their attractive boss, ordering them about and garnering their assistance in her experimental trials. Now, she appeared to him as…sexy.

They joined with a few others to play a short game of three-on-three water volleyball. Tucker watched Kaylee intently – he thought she was hot and she seemed to know it, as she made sideways glances and smiles at him from time to time. She had that effect on most men. He had ‘accidentally’ goosed her once, when retrieving the volleyball from underneath her after they had dived in the same area. She had given him a pointed look which persisted for awhile and he apologized profusely to her before she broke out into a grin.

Kaylee joined the boys afterwards in the sauna for a brief time before retiring to her room.

Bucky shared Tucker’s vision of Kaylee, but was smart enough not to make a move on his boss. He observed Tucker’s eyes as they followed Kaylee’s buns when she left the steamy room. “Don’t waste your time”, he warned, “she doesn’t go for guys like us.”

That night, the boys retired to their room, which just happened to be adjoining to Kaylee’s, so not only were the rooms adjacent, but there was a door that adjoined the two rooms on the side.

That night, as he slept, images of Kaylee in her swimsuit flitted through Tucker’s mind.

Saturday morning was a relaxing day as well, with the seminar going from 10am to 3pm, with lunchtime built in. The summit was set  at an easy, relaxing pace. Several new types of minerals had been tested satisfactorily to benefit clothing as heating or cooling or insular elements. It had been a fun and eye-opening experience for Kaylee and the boys and they’d been driven back to the hotel, retiring temporarily to their rooms.

With much more time available for the evening, and curious to see Austin’s night life, Bucky and Tucker talked about what they might do that evening.

“Why don’t you see if Kaylee has any plans?”, said Bucky, “I wouldn’t mind hitting a steak house and then doing some clubbing. I haven’t been in Austin since I was a little boy, so I’m curious to see if there is anything exotic this city has to offer.”

“Good idea”, Tucker answered, then knocked on the side door into Kaylee’s room.

“Just a minute”, she answered, sounding some distance from her door. There was some fiddling with the lock and then Kaylee opened the door.

Tucker’s mouth dropped and his eyes went wide. Kaylee had answered wearing just her red towel. In dealing with the lock, she had inadvertently lowered the towel and the top of her breasts and nipples were visible.

Noticing Tucker’s eyes dropping to her chest and feeling the coolness of the open air against her flesh, she glanced down and then quickly brought the towel back up to a more appropriate level, covering her modesty.

“Oops. Sorry about that”, she said, her cheeks flushed. “Er, what’s up Tuckems?”

“Em, er…”, Tucker stammered, trying to reset his mouth and make sure he wasn’t drooling, “we were just wondering if you had any, um, plans for tonight. Bucky and I were thinking about hitting the clubs after dinner.”

“Hmmm, well, I do have plans, and they’re similar, but they revolve around both dinner and night life”, Kaylee declared, cryptically, continuing, “but I don’t think you boys will want to join me. I’m going to Forbidden Dish.”

“Forbidden Dish?”, Tucker’s face took on a confused look, “I haven’t heard of it. Sounds like exotic food.”

“You could say that”, Kaylee said, chuckling lightly, adding “listen, I need to get dressed and finish with my makeup. Why don’t we talk again in a little while. I’ll knock when I’m done.” She had just taken a shower and had started on her makeup when Tucker had knocked.

Tucker nodded and Kaylee smiled politely, than closed the door.

“Forbidden Dish!”, Bucky remarked excitedly. “I’ve always wanted to go there.” The two stood talking in lowered voices in their room, trying not to let Kaylee hear them.

“Why? What’s so great about it?”

Bucky proceeded to fill Tucker in on what Forbidden Dish was and it’s special cuisine.

“So, are you sure we should go with? I mean, it could be dangerous. And what will we eat? I don’t fancy eating a shrunken person, especially a tiny guy.”

“Tuck”, said Bucky with a stern voice, “believe me. This place, from everything I’ve heard about it, is wild. And it’s not really dangerous – a guy has to give his consent into getting shrunk and eaten. They don’t just go around zapping people. And they have a regular food menu that is supposed to be top shelf. And I heard it’s absolutely packed with babes. There’s no way I’d pass up a chance to go there.”

“It does sound interesting”, Tucker admitted.

“And just wait til you see Kaylee eat someone”, Bucky said, raising an eyebrow.

An image of Kaylee holding a tiny man, licking him, and putting him in her mouth flitted through Tucker’s mind. That might be fun to watch. “Ok, you’re right, I’ll go”, he said finally, to laughs from Bucky.
