Tom walked up to the hotel room door and pressed the magnetic key up against the lock pad. He was glad the hotel that hosted his favorite convention had upgraded and cleaned things up. Made for a little confusion between the convention staff and the hotel's new event coordinator, but things seemed to have been all smoothed out. He was beat from all the work setting up and was looking forward to laying down to get some rest before all the convention attendees started showing up the next day.
The convention had rooms for their staff. Better for the con to pay extra and be sure your team would be there than lose out on good people that couldn't afford a room. It meant sharing crash space, but generally he could manage. There was the time he'd managed to land in the room with that guy who snored so loud the
next
room over complained, but mostly it had worked out. The door beeped and he pushed it open. Shower, clean t-shirt and shorts, call it a night.
Tom glanced to his left at the large counter as he walked past the little sink area in front of the bathroom. There were a lot more bottles and containers there than he was used to with past crash space roomies. As he rounded the corner where he could see the beds he stopped cold.
"UM... hi?"
Tom stood and stared for a minute. He wasn't sure if he'd gotten the wrong room key or if somebody was playing a practical joke on him. If it was a joke, it was an amazing choice. The woman sprawled out on the bed nearest him had on baggy gym shorts with an oversized hockey style jersey. It took another moment to realize that the team on her shirt wasn't an actual hockey team, it was the War Boys. Her long, bare legs stretched out across the bed were very distracting.
"Hello? Are you OK?" She pulled her legs up underneath herself and shifted up onto her knees. "Uh... " She snapped her fingers in his direction. "This is Houston, over..."
Tom popped back into the moment, "Oh, yeah, crap, sorry. It's been a long day and I was a little stunned." He couldn't take his gaze away from her. She had long, curly brown hair. Her ears and nose were small and delicate. Blue eyes stared at him as he stood there with his mouth still hanging open.
"Did you eat today? You look like a guy I used to know who did this whenever he didn't eat at the right times." She got off the bed and walked to the mini fridge in the room. When she bent over to look into the fridge Tom could see the beautiful heart shape of her ass outlined by the shorts.
"I've only got 2 of these power drink things in the fridge, the rest are warm. Do you want one?" She turned back around and Tom whipped his eyes back up to hers.
"I'm sorry. I think I must be in the wrong room." Tom started to back toward the door. His confusion was not clearing up in the presence of this gorgeous lady. Just as he was about to turn and leave he heard the door lock beep behind him. He turned as the third crash space roomie walked in. She was short. Funny how Tom noticed that first, but she could have only been about five feet tall. Tom was just over six feet tall so the difference was notable. She had super short curly black hair and green eyes. Her skin was an amazing, smooth creamy brown. He glanced down at her outfit. It looked like she had just come back from a cosplay panel despite the fact that nothing for the con had started yet. She still had half a suit of foam armor on, the top half cradled under her arm rather than worn exposing a cut off t-shirt that said 'property of Weyland-Yutani.
"Oh shit, sorry Sam, I didn't realize you had a guy! Wow the con didn't even really get rolling yet..."
"I'm sorry..." Tom started
"Jo it's not that..." Sam started at the exact same moment. They both stopped mid sentence and she giggled.
"Oh, sure," armor cosplayer said. "Look, Sam, you know I just need some kind of warning system or something. I mean, I walk down the hall for half an hour to work on foam painting and BAM!"
Tom was still processing when a thought struck him. "Wait." He turned to the woman in the hockey jersey. "You're Sam, right?" She nodded. He turned back toward the woman in the doorway, "and you are?" Tom let the question hang.
"I'm Jo." she said and let the door to the hotel room swing shut as she moved further into the room, shouldering past Tom. "And this stuff is getting sweaty already".
"That's it." Tom's thought process solidified. "Sarah the hotel liaison must have mixed up our room assignments. I'm betting she listed all the staff out by first name in her notebook and didn't give it any more thought than that. She put Sam, Jo and Tom all in the same room for crash space."
Both the ladies stopped and looked at him.
"You're probably right." Sam looked thoughtful for a moment. "I could totally see her doing that."
"Well shit," said Jo, "So much for sleeping naked and actually being comfortable this weekend," and dumped her foam armor top into a heap of things in the corner.
Sam answered her, "You always say that. You'd be naked all the damn time if you could get away with it."
"Duh. The only problem is the cold. Can't ever get comfortable. Either way too hot in some kind of cosplay or way too cold in the damn building." Jo began unbuckling the leg portion of the armor she had created.
Tom felt his erection jump. He hadn't realized just how turned on he was in the room with these two fine ladies. "Well," he hesitated, "are you saying I shouldn't go track Sarah down? Are we going to make this arrangement work? I mean, I could go and see what other crash space is out there..."
"Don't be silly," Sam said. "We're on the end of the list, that's why there's only three of us and not four to the room. I'd bet Sarah doesn't even have another room open."
Jo frowned. "Aw man. Hello, naked time?" She gestured around the room and generally in Tom's direction. Tom hesitated. He really didn't want to mess things up. He didn't know either Sam or Jo but then he didn't know a lot of the rest of the staff. He was always running to another set up somewhere in the hotel. He had to speak his idea, but he wasn't sure how it would be received.
"Well, if you feel that strongly about it, please don't let me stop you." Tom held his breath after he said it. Jo stopped her constant motion and peered back over her shoulder raising one eyebrow.
"You think so, do you?" Jo stood up having finally removed the bottom portion of her armor. She was wearing skin tight short shorts to go along with her half shirt. Her hips were gorgeous and round. Tom could see where her abs were cut right near her hip bones and a little hollow was formed where that skin slid into the waistband of the shorts. Jo glanced over at Sam who had also stopped moving. "Tell you what. If you think it's a good idea, how's about you go first?" Jo crossed her arms and tilted her head back. Sam slid over to stand near Jo and looked back at Tom. "That could be interesting," Sam added.
Tom couldn't believe that he hadn't been tossed out immediately. He released the breath he had been holding and felt a little light headed. He'd gotten this far with a gamble, but what would be next? Could he really do this?
"Are you sure that's what you want?" Tom asked. "I don't want you two to feel any kind of pressure or anything..." He hesitated.
