It had been ages since Amy and Paul had been abroad for a holiday and both of them were feeling the kind of nervous excitement that one only gets when travelling through an airport, with a sunny destination ahead. They'd arrived with ample time for their flight and had quickly cleared the check-in desk and security. They now had a 3 hour wait in the departure lounge alongside Elisa and Jake the other couple they were flying with.
Whilst walking past the rows of shops and duty-free liquor Amy spotted a large neon sign at the far end of the departure lounge. The sign buzzed with large pink letters and simply read "THE PODS".
"That looks interesting," said Amy, "let's go and take a look. Elisa, Jake, we'll meet you guys back here in a bit."
Amy and Paul split off from the other couple and entered through the double doors underneath the neon sign. A large expansive room greeted them beyond. Down the middle of the room stretched a long corridor and off to each side stood a series of sleek, white, futuristic pods, each one the size of a small living space.
"These pods must be here to accommodate delayed passengers, like mini-hotels," said Paul.
"I'm not so sure," Amy replied, and she pointed to the small electronic signs next to each pod.
Sure enough the first row of pods advertised a miniature office space for business travellers, closely followed by several rows of temporary mini-hotels (as Paul had mentioned) mixed in amongst a few virtual reality game rooms.
"See," said Amy "Not all of these pods are the same, it seems like there's a bunch of different ones. I wonder what those pink ones are for at the far end."
At the end of the room, on the last row were 2 slightly larger pods in bright pink colours. The touchscreen sign in front simply read: intimate pods an XXX experience.
"Ohh these look interesting," exclaimed Amy "Look there's an FAQ here on the sign, let's see what it says."
Amy pressed the 'about' button on the touchscreen and a short video began to play:

(Pods are deep cleaned between each cycle, sex toys sold separately, terms and conditions apply).
"This looks exciting, you know it has been a while since we last did it," Amy said with a devilish look in her eye.
"I don't know," said Paul "Isn't this a bit wrong to do at an airport, I mean there's people around."
"Don't be silly," exclaimed Amy "They wouldn't put this thing here if they didn't want people to use it, plus this will kill some time. Also. You knowwwww.... I've always wondered how I'd look getting railed on camera. We always said we'd do a sex tape at some point but we kept putting it off. This is the perfect opportunity."
"Haha you do have a way with words," said Paul, who barely needed convincing "I guess we're trying this then."
"Yay! I knew you'd cum around" punned Amy.
Amy turned back to the screen and selected the book session button on the home page. A series of options appeared on the menu below.
"I think we want to get the full experience seeing as this is a one off," Amy smirked as she selected the 90 minute premium session with game mode and toys included. Just before payment the 'Starlet mode' option appeared on the screen, Amy turned to Paul and smiled.
"I guess we're starting off this holiday as pornstars then."
She grinned from ear to ear and excitedly selected the maximum resolution settings and the AI auto-editor option and hit accept.
A short video played on the touchscreen.
"Congratulations! you're well on your way to a steamy 90-minute adventure, please confirm your order and payment to continue to the pod."
Amy tapped her contactless card on the screen to confirm payment and with that the pink door to the front of the pod gently slid back to reveal the layout within.
Amy giddy with excitement stepped across the threshold of the pod. On the inside a large pink double bed lay waiting in the middle of the room which was flanked on 3 sides with large wall mounted LED screens. Beyond the bed was a floor-to-ceiling glass wall for the shower room, whose entire contents were on display to the rest of the bedroom. The wall nearest the door housed a vending machine style dispenser with a large assortment of dildos, vibrators, plugs, condoms and other assorted toys. (The condoms were advertised as free).
Paul stepped across the pod threshold and as he did so the outer door slid shut closing Amy and Paul off from the distant cacophony of the main departure building. The LED screens blinked on and a female avatar appeared on the screen. She was tall, blonde and wearing a tight fitting pink party dress with matching sparkly heels.
