"On behalf of the captain, the cabin crew and Southwest Airlines, we welcome you
to Orlando. If your travels continue on from here, monitors just outside the
gate will indicate where your next flight is departing. And for those of you
whose destination is Orlando, we hope that you have a pleasant stay here."
Kale Larkin looked out the window one more time, although the view of Orlando
International was hardly awe-inspiring. It was, however, his first time on a
passenger jet, an adventure in itself traveling from Austin.
Having lived in the Texas hill country, he looked much like the typical Texan,
with a slightly weathered appearance. Well trimmed dark hair contrasted with
his tanned look, yet when he spoke there was none of the typical Texas twang.
Instead he was cordial, courteous and quiet to a fault.
He waited until the plane was nearly empty, then pulled out his backpack from
the overhead compartments. Quickly he walked down the aisle, wishing the
stewardesses a good day, then went off to gather his luggage. Following the
signs, he went down to the baggage area where a surprise was waiting for him.
A dark mahogany-skinned young woman was waiting near the carousel, holding up a
sign with "KALE LARKIN" on it. She was surprisingly good looking, and it was
clear a lot of the males were rather disappointed to see she was waiting for him
in particular. Casually he wandered over to where she stood, then made a soft
clucking sound.
"Naomi, what are you doing here?"
Naomi Prentis grinned. "What do you think I'm doing here? I'm here to pick you
up and take you to the con."
Kale shook his head, chuckling softly. Naomi was one of those folks he first
met online, on a role-playing site. Later on, he was introduced to the Venn
forums, where she along with others discussed ideas to try with the Venn
machines. He was familiar with the machines himself, having tried them a few
times while visiting Austin, but she was a regular user and had made it clear in
her last message that she intended to have fun with him through the con.
He shook a few thoughts out of his head and focused again. "All right, so
you're here. Give me a minute to get my luggage, then we'll head out."
She smiled brightly. "Things are already hopping at the con. And I already got
us registered." She pulled a packet and handed it to him. "Got us a nice
suite, at the Best Western across from the convention center."
"Us?" Kale blinked at that, then chuckled. "You're bound and determined to
spend the weekend with me, aren't you?"
Naomi grinned, and leaned in close enough to whisper, "I'm bound and determined
to fuck your brains out in every shape we decide to take."
That got a laugh out of Kale. "All right, you. Ah, there's my luggage." He
walked to the carousel and picked up his bag, then turned and grinned at Naomi.
"Lead on, you know where you're going."

A half hour later, Naomi pulled into a parking spot at the hotel. Kale got out
of the car and blinked, the hotel rather larger than he expected. She opened
the trunk, and he turned to take care of business, namely pulling out his
luggage. Together, they walked towards the hotel entrance.
Inside, a sign hung over the main hallway, reading "Welcome FurCon Orlando
Attendees". From the looks of things, the hotel staff had gotten into at least
the spirit of the event, wearing cat ears or bunny ears on their head. Naomi
tugged on Kale's arm and led him towards the elevators.
Near the elevators was a Venn Machine, both the elevators and the machine hidden
from normal view. She giggled a bit at his unspoken question.
"It appeared about two days ago according to the convention staff. I don't how,
but at least folks can come down and use it without worrying about normal folks
catching them naked." She gigged at that. "Not that any one would, we've got
the whole hotel booked through Monday."
Their elevator arrived, and they walked inside. Once the doors closed, Naomi
suddenly through her arms around Kale's neck, pulled him close and kissed him
hard. "You don't know how long I've waited to do that," she said finally,
breaking the kiss.
"Damn, gal, give a guy some warning, will you?" He grinned at her, then as the
signal for their floor rang, she pulled her arms from around his neck. Once
again, they walked together down the hall, until they passed a pair of furry
otters, wearing monokinis. "Hi, Naomi," one of them said. "Going to get a
little time in the water."
"Have fun, Trina!" The otters giggled and headed to the elevator, while Kale
and Naomi reached their room. It was well furnished, like most hotels Kale had
stayed in. The centerpiece was the king-sized bed, plenty large enough for both
himself and Naomi.
He placed his luggage in the closet, then turned to find Naomi already sprawled
across the bed. "I haven't even had time to get settled, and here you are
already being sexy and seductive," Kale teased.
Naomi grinned. "You know me, hun, already ready to jump you when you log
online." She twisted around, and grabbed him around the hips, pulling him down
next to her. "Now, where were we?"
"Page 23?" Kale said, then yelped as Naomi tickled him in response. They ended
up wrestling a bit on the bed before Naomi managed to plant another longer,
deeper kiss, this time Kale melting into it with her.
It would be a while before they showed up outside of their room.

"So what forms have you taken?"
Naomi looked over at Kale, neither of them wearing anything in the way of
clothing. Their lovemaking had been intense, the two discovering just how
compatible they were in terms of pleasuring each other. Kale thought about her
question for a few moments before answering.
"Oh, just the usual boring sort of shapes. Morphic wolf, morphic tiger, morphic
equine, that sort of thing. Usually it'd be at the same time as the Austin
furmeets, when we'd all go over to a Venn machine before enjoying being out in
the park having a group picnic."
Naomi gave a leering expression at him. "Oh, I bet you make one great stud, all
nice and well hung."
Kale swatted her lightly, then gave her a kiss on the lips. "Why, you want to
find out yourself?" he teased her, his tone light and filled with amusement.
"Oh, I might. Be your mare, and have you give me a good, long, hard riding."
"I'm not going there," Kale said, although it was clear he found the idea
enticing. "But I haven't had the, ah... adventures you've had. Then again,
you've got more opportunities."
"True, I have some good friends in the fandom here who I trust enough. But when
you said you'd come here for the con, well, I can't help that I have plans for
us and want to get as wild and kinky with you as possible."
Kale grinned and shook his head. "Dear, you were wild and kinky online."
"Yeah, but I didn't have the opportunity to really experience them. Visualizing
and imagining being your personal inflatable vixen is one thing, being able to
turn into it is something completely different."
"Well, hopefully I can live up to your standards," he said gently. She giggled,
and reached down to grab hold of him.
"Mmm, you certainly measure up in that respect."
Kale laughed, and winked. "Oh hush, she of the porn star tits."
"And damned proud of them!" she quickly shot back.

Despite his personal desires at this point, Kale sighed. "Dear, I hate to say
this, but I haven't had anything to eat in a while. I was able to have some
snacks on the flight, but that was it."
Naomi looked abashed at that. "Oh, I'm sorry, love. You want to go out
somewhere?"
"Let's get cleaned up first, then we'll debate where to go."
A half hour later, they both came out of their room and headed on to the
elevators. There, they ran into the otter pair again, both looking quite
exhausted.
Naomi smiled. "Had a good time in the pool, Trina?"
The one otter nodded. "I'm glad they replaced it with something a little
larger. Their previous pool was ok, just not large enough for real swimming.
So where are you to off to?"
Kale gave a growling sound. "Food. Must have food."
That made everyone giggle, and Trina winked. "Go have fun hunting," she said,
and the otters walked towards their room. Kale and Naomi took their elevator
down to the ground floor, and were soon on International Blvd. "I know this
place," Naomi said as she headed down the road, "you might like it." Soon Kale
saw they were pulling into a parking lot, the restaurant sign reading "Bahama
Breeze".
The place was one of those casual dining establishments, the decor designed to
invoke the Bahamas. They were taken to a table, and Kale looked over the menu.
There were so many entrees that made his stomach growl, and Naomi giggled as she
heard the sound. "You are hungry, aren't you?" she teased.
He looked up from the menu. "You go from Austin at 10:30 in the morning to
here, and what few food offerings at the airport being packed." He glanced at
the menu again, then put it down on the table. "Eh, I'm just grousing."
"It's ok, grouse away." Before either could say anything, their server came
over and took their order. Once that business was taken care of, Kale looked at
Naomi and smiled gently.
"It does feel funny, being here in Orlando instead of back home. Guess having
not really taken a vacation in a while, it would feel funny."
Naomi reached over and touched his hand. "Well, I'm glad you did come. I'd
still have a good time here, but it wouldn't be the same without you showing
up."
"Well, I'm glad you're willing to put up with me," Kale said. "Was I really
that good with you?" he asked, shifting the conversation.
Naomi gave him a wide smile and squeezed his hand. "Love, you were absolutely
great. You really do yourself an injustice thinking you're not wonderful."
"It's not like I had a lot of girlfriends," he pointed out. "And most of the
ones I knew, well, they're country girls. Looking for a husband, a house and
kids."
"Well, you won't have to worry about that. Ah, here's our meals."
They watched as the server placed their meals in front of them, and Kale began
to demolish his dinner. Naomi watched in amusement, he wasn't kidding about
being hungry. She took longer with her dish, then once finished and the check
taken care of, they headed back to the hotel.
"I do have one question for you," Naomi said without warning. Kale looked at
her, and tilted his head curiously.
"And what's that?"
"Well, would you object to me being some kind of living goo girl for you while
we're together?"
Kale thought about the question. "Have you figured out how that's possible?" he
asked instead of answering directly.
"One of the gals on the Venn machine forums figured out a way to make it
possible, and I've wanted to try it myself. She said it was quite an
experience," she added, her eyes sparkling brightly at the idea.
"Well, let's start with getting used to each other, then we'll see what
happens."
