Alex's Adventures At The Wonderland Spa and Resort
Part Four
by The Preve
Cedric broke the silence first.
"Well, what a bloody good demonstration, in all aspects I daresay."
"I second that," agreed Harriet.
Nods and grunts of affirmation rustled through the crowd.
Scarlett smirked and cocked an eyebrow. "I always try to make my presentations interesting. Good improvisation on your part Jenny, and Alex, for your cooperation, I'm raising your bonus by six hundred."
"Gee... er... um... thanks?"
Cedric clapped his hands, "Well, I take it this 'demonstration' is finished. If the lot of us has time to kill, I suggest we partake of our tea. If Ms. Hart is up for it."
"I don't think the demonstration is quite complete," Edna Doramus said with a touch of husk. "The rest of us, I believe, should conduct a more... thorough examination," and she looked at Alex with a cat-about-to-eat-a-mouse smile.
It unsettled Alex, both her unexpected talk and lust-filled gaze. She'd never looked at him that way, in all his trips to the library.
"I don't see any reason why Alex shouldn't be allowed to join the tea party," Harriet said, "He's proven to be a very good sport."
"My wife and I have no objections to however Ms. Hart wishes to continue the presentation," said Derek Dee. He showed none of the humor or mischief affected by the others. His intense look sent a shiver up Alex's spine.
Maddy Hattayoshi, who'd stayed silent during the demonstration, tapped Ms. Hart on the shoulder, and whispered in her ear.
Scarlett, initially annoyed a contractor touched her without permission, lightened her scowl on hearing Maddy's words.
"That is an excellent suggestion. Cedric, Derek, if I can ask for your assistance. I need to rearrange the set up on the table, and maintenance are busy with the lodgings at the moment."
Cedric was willing, but Derek displayed some reluctance performing a task suited for the help.
"Really Derek, don't be so spoiled. I adjusted when I left the manor," Cedric quipped.
Scarlett turned to the rest. "Can I ask the others to gather some cushions from the lawn chairs?"
The other investors, with Jenny, Doris, Harriet, and Maddy, spread through the garden, gathering cushions and pillows.
"Stay right here, Alex," Scarlett commanded and went to help the two men arrange the table.
Alex gazed around, wondering for the thousandth time how he got here. His cock had deflated, and people busied about, ignoring him.
Almost like something switched off and I turned invisible.
He looked again at his body. His skin no longer tingled, he felt no itching. He was still covered in body oil, and he glistened, slick in the warm summer air.
So... weird.
Most of the tea sets were moved to the end of the table. The others brought the cushions to the cleared space.
"Wait with the cushions. Alex, come here," Scarlett beckoned.
Alex walked to the table.
"Get on the table."
"Uh, yes Ms. Hart,"
What's she up to?
Alex did as told.
Scarlett took several cushions and placed them on the table.
"Lay on your back with your head here."
"Um, okay."
"Now, raise your back."
Scarlett placed several more cushions under Alex's lower back and ass.
"Keep your arms to your sides."
His position gave him a slight arch, with his cock and balls on display.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our new centerpiece for the tea party," Scarlett smiled, "Do you like it?"
Excellent display," chuckled Cedric.
"Impressive," from Edna.
"Exquisite," chorused the Dees.
"Definitely unique," Harriet.
More affirmatives from the rest.
"So fucking crazy," Alex thought, looking at the gathered crowd.
"How do you feel, Alex?" asked Jenny.
"Um, kind of strange ma... Jenny. Um, how long do you want me like this?"
Like, how long do you want me to stay naked? What are you going to do? Am I going to let you do it? And what other weird thing's going to happen?
The long, broad table allowed Alex to lay on it easily. Scarlett bent near and said, "You'll be nude as long as necessary. Keep perfectly still, take a nap if you want. I'll up your bonus a couple of hundred for your cooperation."
The extra two hundred put Alex past two thousand, maybe, he thought. He lost count with everything happening. It was good, but Alex couldn't help but gulp nervously.
Things didn't happen immediately, in what Alex later called The Mad Sex Party.
The investors spread around the table to partake of the tea and cakes. They chatted over mundane things, trading financial information, news, gossip. They didn't quite ignore him this time. They asked him questions about his background, if he had a girlfriend, his plans for the future.
Alex didn't think his social life offered much interest, so he answered truthfully. He had no girlfriends (prudently excluding the Double Dees as objects of desire). His basic plan was to study computer tech and settle for work in IT.
Alex admitted to himself, he was mundane; past, present, and future. The present situation was an anomaly. A weird out-of-the-blue freak event. His surprise in letting it happen made all the weirder.
I don't think it's about the money anymore.
It was a question of not what they were going to do, but if he would let them.
Do I have limits? How much will I do?
He'd never explored the possibility before, not even in fantasy. He was always safe, cautious, dependable. It wasn't that he went just so far; he didn't go far at all. Skinny dipping constituted the only daring act he performed that day.
In the space of just a few hours, owed in large part to the Double Dees, all boundaries were erased. He was falling down a rabbit hole, with no floor in sight.
I came in front of them all, and now I'm laid out naked.
He decided to wait, and concentrate on the conversations. He found more about the investors.
Scarlett Hart, Jenny O'Hare, Harriet March, and the Dees were rich, obviously. Cedric Thyme, Edna Doremuse, and Maddy Hattayoshi were surprises.
Cedric Thyme turned out to be almost as rich as Scarlett. Plus, he had a title, just not on Scarlett's level.
"Just a baron, young man, but my title's inherited."
So what is an English aristocrat doing coaching a swim team, and teaching English, in Podunk, USA? Alex didn't have to ask. Cedric responded to the question on his face.
"I never lived the conventional life, young man. I left all that to my brother. He was supposed to get the title. Who would of thought the stupid bugger had a heroin addiction. One overdose and I get the barony. He was too addicted to the stuff to produce a proper heir.
Anyway, I was already here when I got the message. I really was going to coach the team for five years, use the experience back home to build an Olympic team, and contribute to society as a teacher. And keep the... more unconventional parts in the basement."
"Like talking to naked, oiled up, eighteen year old on a tea table? How do you know Scarlett?"
"The Duchess and I are old acquaintances. We've done many... unconventional things together. She wanted to build a resort, heard I was teaching here, and asked me to invest. I have to admit, your presence was unexpected."
"I... uh, didn't expect to be here either."
Cedric looked at him for several minutes, in a way that made Alex nervous.
I feel like a mob witness.
He now knew sensitive secrets about prominent citizens, but it didn't make him feel powerful.
Am I a liability?
The end of this adventure and its possibilities, made him uneasy.
Cedric left with a pensive look.
Edna Doremuse, and her sister, were daughters of an old moneyed New England family, from the Massachusetts/Connecticut region. She was, in fact, a distant relative of Cedric, by way of some Gilded Age great aunt marrying a great-great uncle of his.
Edna was also younger than she looked. He'd always pegged her in the fifties. She gave her age as somewhere in the late thirties, no specifics.
"It's the way I dress, the way I wear my hair, and I like things quiet, both in and around me."
"I never thought you'd be in a place like this."
"Most people never know the person next to them, Alex. A good lesson for you, I think."
Madeleine "Maddy" Hattayoshi, sometimes Hatta, was neither rich nor poor. She was here, on loan from Felix Cheshire, the tech genius who'd designed the hair removal machine.
