And you may say to yourself, "My God, what have I done?"

The first thing Nick noticed when they entered the spa was that it didn’t really meet his expectations of what a spa would look like.

It seemed more like he was standing in the lobby of a fancy hotel.

Everything was bright and luxurious, and there were people in white walking around carrying towels and generally smiling. It seemed like something right out of a movie or a TV show- and that’s when he realized it probably was.

“…Fancy,” was all he could say as he looked at Kim, whose face turned a little red.

“Yeah, well… I’ve never been to a classy resort spa before, so…” She scratched her cheek and smiled awkwardly. “I kinda just made it up from my imagination. I hope that’s not a problem?”

“Well, it wouldn’t be for me,” Nick assured her. “But with that in mind, there’s no telling how this is actually going to go. Hopefully you’ve thought up some realistic-like massages?”

The last thing he wanted was a masseuse to go to town on him with some sharp piece of rock just because Kim had heard of pumice massages before, and didn’t have the full context. Even if he couldn’t actually get injured, that wasn’t likely to feel pleasant.

“Don’t worry!” Kim said adamantly. “I thought ahead!”

She looked determined and resolute. That was good, at least.

Still, Nick couldn’t help but feel a little wary.

Moving forward, they checked in, and explained why they were here. The concierge was happy to help them out.

“Of course! Right this way. You two are signed up for the full couple treatment package, is that right?” She asked cheerfully.

Nick looked at Kim, who pointedly did not look at him.

“…If that’s what the lady wants,” he said with a polite smile of his own.

A few seconds later, and they were taken to a changing room.

“Only one room to change?” Nick looked at Kim and raised his eyebrow. “Something tells me that’s not standard.”

Kim giggled, and brushed back her bangs. “Well… I took a few creative liberties,” she replied. “I thought it would be better if we could change by ourselves, you know? Together… and alone.”

Nick blushed.

“Uh… yeah, I suppose there’s nothing wrong with that,” he acknowledged.

In a real spa, there was no way that would be allowed. After all, that would probably result in a lot of sexy, untoward things happening between the couples.

But since this was a dream, it wasn’t a big deal.

Nick found his clothes quite easy to remove. And as he stripped himself down, he caught Kim out of the corner of his eye. She raised her head to look at them and they made eye contact.

She was naked, too.

Her first instinct was to raise her hands to her chest to cover herself. But she stopped about halfway there, and smiled at him. Then she lowered her arms to her sides and stood up a little straighter, nearly thrusting out her chest for him to admire.

“Well?” She asked, biting her lip. “I don’t think I have anything to feel bashful about, do I?”

“Nope, definitely not,” Nick agreed, shaking his head. “And it’s not like I’ve never seen it before, right?”

Well, he’d never seen her breasts look like that before. Nick still stood by his initial statement of Kim looking amazing regardless of the size of her chest. But with that being said, the effort she made to show her looks off couldn’t go unappreciated, either.

If she was going to be stuck with this punishment transformation for the rest of the date, she might as well let him admire it, right?

“Nick… do you really not mind if my chest isn’t this big normally?” Kim asked, unable to keep the anxiety from seeping into her voice. “I mean… I don’t have a problem with my breasts, but… if you like this size… then…”

“Kim, I already told you, I like your body regardless of how big your boobs are,” Nick assured her. “Believe me, I’m not going to care about stuff like that. I can appreciate all kinds of women.”

She cracked a smile. “I know, you’re running up quite a list,” she joked, causing him to roll his eyes in exasperation.

“Now, you know that’s not what I meant.”

“Are you sure?” She batted her eyelashes playfully. “Tell you what, since you like what you see so much, maybe I won’t even wear a towel into the sauna later?”

Now that would sure be something.

“I’m glad you’re so laid-back about all this,” Nick said. “Did I ever tell you that one of the things I like most about you is how casual you can be? First about the schoolgirl uniform- you didn’t seem bothered by that transformation at all. And then you were so bold, doing that naked sushi thing… plus, working in the shop all the time, showing off that lingerie?”

If Nick didn’t know any better, he’d think Kim was an exhibitionist. But he wasn’t going to just lay that out there.

Kim laughed. “I guess I do have a bit of a fondness for showing off,” she admitted. “But I worked hard to get this body! I have a right to be proud of myself!”

As the words left her lips, her breasts slightly increased in size. She gasped, and her eyes widened. Then an irritated look crossed her face.

“Okay, fine, I worked hard, AND I told a few lies today. That’s how I got a body looking like this.” She turned to Nick and gave him a look that said “You see what I have to deal with here?”

Nick agreed, Dakota could be pretty petty and pedantic about stuff like this. But he couldn’t argue in good conscience, either.

“Sorry, but when it comes to seeing your breasts grow, I’m not going to lodge any complaints,” Nick admitted, shaking his head.

Kim laughed out loud, and smacked him in the arm. “You jerk! I bet you want ‘em as big as my head, don’t you?”

Nick swallowed. That did sound pretty hot. But he had to keep his cool. “Not… not if that would be inconvenient for you,” he croaked out, not even convincing himself.

Kim’s only response was a sigh and an exaggerated eye roll.

“Let’s just get to our massage, okay?” She asked with a giggle.

Nick nodded. He finished taking off his pants, and noticed that Kim wasn’t exactly demurring away from his nakedness, either.

“See something you like?” He sarcastically lobbed her words back at her.

“Just getting prepared for tonight,” she replied. “You know, visualizing and all that.”

Nick felt his dick harden slightly, and it jumped a little. Something else Kim didn’t fail to notice either.

With a smirk on her lips, she headed out first, leaving him to trail behind her. He’d been following her for most of this date, and part of him was gladdened by it- the way Kim seemed determined to follow her plan and have a good time was quite a relief, and he was glad to be partnered with someone who was giving this date their all.

He wasn’t sure if he’d be able to satisfy her desires otherwise.

Soon enough, they reached the massage parlor. Two attendants who bore a not-so-subtle resemblance to Kim herself were waiting for the two of them, standing beside two matching tables.

“An asian masseuse? Talk about a stereotype,” Nick pointed out under his breath.

Kim smirked again. “I thought you might enjoy getting rubbed down by a woman who looks like me,” she replied. “Would you prefer if mine looked a little like you?”

Nick had no comments about that, either.

The two of them got onto the tables, laying down flat on their chests, and let the two women get to work.

Kim tensed when she felt the slippery massage oil slap against her skin. It brought back bad memories of the last time she was in this position- yesterday.

It’s fine. This isn’t going to be some twisted aphrodisiac, she reminded herself. It’s just a massage. A regular, ordinary massage.

But that wasn’t the part of this that was actually upsetting her, and she knew it. Being in the position again, letting a masseuse work on her while she was defenseless and being pleasured by a delicate touch, it was bringing back memories of when she was with Vivian.

And the guilt of that day was starting to come back along with it.

Kim clenched her teeth and tried to focus on the massage itself. How good it felt, to be rubbed down like this, to have all the rough and worn-out parts of her body soothed by their talented hands. She tried to imagine that it was Nick doing this for her, and with his moans and exultations of pleasure, that was almost possible.

She closed her eyes and let everything out. Forget about Vivian, forget about her prank gone awry, just be in the moment with Nick, and relish the time she had with him. That’s what she wanted more than anything, and she knew he felt the same way.

Before she knew it, it was over.

Her body felt refreshed, and she could barely stand. It was like her arms and legs had been replaced with wobbly noodles, and she almost needed Nick’s help to get to the sauna.

When she arrived, she froze in place.

“Ah, this… I didn’t… huh?”

The sauna she envisioned in her mind was supposed to be exotic and fancy. Not that she knew what that was supposed to look like. She could only call to mind images of the one at the Harem Hotel. And no matter how she tried to overwrite that mental picture, it was like it kept coming back.

Nick didn’t seem to even realize how anxious she was, not until he looked her way and saw her expression of concern.

“Kim? Is everything okay?”

She was about to tell him yes, everything was fine, but she stopped herself. After all, she couldn’t lie, not with this punishment transformation. So she swallowed and shook her head, and then closed the door behind her.

“Nick… I’m sorry, but… I think coming here was a mistake,” she said softly.

“A mistake?” Nick didn’t know why she felt that way. “But you seemed to be enjoying that massage so much!”

“I know! I know. And I did, really, but… there was other stuff, too,” Kim said, shaking her head. “Look… I don’t want to talk about it…”

Shit. Another lie. Her slight breast growth revealed the truth in her heart, much to her chagrin. Because as much as she dreaded having this conversation, she DID want to have it.

And Nick could see that for himself.

Realizing that he was staring at Kim, and that Kim was feeling very uncertain right now, Nick slowly raised his head to look her in the eye.

Another sigh escaped her lips, and she sat down beside him on the steamy wood.

“…Yesterday, I went to the spa, with Vivian,” she said.

Nick blinked. “Wait, you mean, the spa at Harem Hotel?”

That took him by surprise. Not only that Kim would go to a place like that, but that she would go with Vivian? And why was she talking about this now, just when they’d finally had a good mood going between them? Bringing up another woman, here?

He was confused, but he couldn’t ask her anything else. Not given the situation she was in right now.

Kim looked directly into his eyes, and her lips quivered.

“I was playing a prank on her, that’s why,” she clarified. “I wanted to get her horny, as a little trick, because of how she always acts around me. Just a little punishment, you know? She’s always messing with me, so I wanted to mess with her right back…”

Nick nodded. He could understand her compulsion, even if he didn’t agree with it. “Kim-”

“It was wrong, I know, but that’s not the issue,” Kim cut him off. “The prank… it wasn’t that bad. Vivian even agreed. That’s not why I feel bad right now.”

Nick could tell that was the truth because her boobs weren’t getting bigger. Also, he probably shouldn’t be looking at those, not while Kim was pouring her heart out to him. He raised his head, and saw to his horror that she was almost in tears.

“Kim…”

“She was… grateful,” Kim muttered, shaking her head incredulously. Even a day later she couldn’t believe it. “She thought that I invited her to bury the hatchet… and she was so happy about that, too. And when I told her the truth, that it was just a prank… she looked so hurt.”

Nick didn’t know how to process that. Vivian had been hurt by something so minor? Vivian, the woman who seemed like she wasn’t bothered by anything? The obnoxious heiress who enjoyed teasing and playing around?

“I messed up,” Kim muttered. “And now, I don’t know what to do! I asked her out to coffee, to try and make up for what happened, but what then? Do I want to bury the hatchet for real? Even be her friend? No way, right? But… I just don’t know.”

There were a lot of emotions pouring out of Kim right now, and her feelings were so cluttered that not even her breasts were able to reveal what her heart truly desired.

Nick wasn’t sure if he could help, either. Or if they should even be talking about this. He wanted to spend the day enjoying himself with Kim, not thinking about Vivian of all people. But he needed to help her.

“Well… Kim, if you’re feeling guilty about the prank, then think about it like this,” he said, patting her on the shoulder. “It was just a prank. And I think, under different circumstances, Vivian might have even enjoyed the prank.”

Kim wiped her face. Was that a tear she wiped from her eyes, or perspiration? In the heat of the sauna, it was hard to tell.

“I know,” she mumbled. “But Nick… that’s just it, don’t you see? The situation was what it was. And Vivian, she really wanted to be friends with me.”

“And you don’t want to be friends with her back?”

The look on her face was a miserable one. She didn’t feel safe verbalizing an answer, so she just shrugged sadly.

“I just don’t know what to do now,” she admitted. “I feel awful, and I hate it. I wanted this date to be amazing, but… look what happened.”

“Hey, the date has been amazing,” Nick said. “Just because we had a bit of a stumble here, that doesn’t mean we have to let that ruin things!”

Kim looked up at him. “Really?”

She felt awful. And she felt even worse, knowing that her thoughts about Vivian had poisoned the moment between the two of them.

“Forget about Vivian,” Nick urged her. “You can fix things with her when we get back. If that’s what you want to do, anyway. So just put it out of your mind, and let’s focus on our date, okay?”

That was a risky suggestion and he knew it. But if what he suspected about Kim and her feelings was true, then it might just work.

Kim frowned. “Forget about her… but… I don’t want to do that! I don’t want to just pretend like yesterday didn’t happen!”

She clutched her chest, feeling an ache in her heart. But her breasts still remained the same size. She was telling the truth.

Nick noticed that, too.

“I think that’s your answer, then,” he said, and Kim looked at him in confusion.

“My answer? Huh?”

“This is clearly eating away at you, right?” Nick pointed out. “But there’s nothing you can do about it right now. We’re alone here, together, for the rest of the night. But you don’t want to let this go even then, do you?”

Kim shook her head.

“Which means that what happened is really getting to you, if you can’t put it out of your mind for even a few hours,” Nick explained. “I think that means your feelings about what happened are really complicated. So think about it… do you want to fix things?”

Kim nodded without even thinking. “Of… of course I do,” she mumbled.

Even though she didn’t like Vivian.

What did that say about her?

She didn’t like Vivian… but she also didn’t want Vivian to feel hurt?

So much so, that the thought of hurting Vivian’s feelings had managed to infect her romantic date with Nick?

That…

That was…

Kim swallowed.

“…You’re right, Nick,” she admitted. The smile slowly returned to her lips. “What happened with me and Vivian… I can fix that when we get back.”

Now that Kim was sure that was what she wanted to do, it was like a burden had been lifted from her.

Before, her emotions had been distorted and twisted because she had no idea what her relationship with Vivian should look like.

And in many ways, she still didn’t.

But she didn’t want to hurt Vivian. She knew that much, at least.

Which meant she had to bury the hatchet. She had to make this right.

“Thanks, Nick. I think I know what to do,” she said, sitting up straight. “I need to have a talk with Vivian.”

“There we go,” Nick nodded, smiling. “I knew it might take some doing to sort out your feelings… but I’m glad we did.”

Kim looked back at him, and her eyes twinkled.

“But that’s for later,” she clarified, shaking her head. “Can’t do anything until we get out of here, after all!”

She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

“So for now, let’s not worry about her. That was my mistake!” She shook her head, and kissed him again. “This is OUR date. So let’s leave the other women out of it, shall we?”

This time, they kissed on the lips. And Nick was happy to do it.

“You’re right,” he agreed, kissing her back. “Forget about the other girls- this is just between the two of us.”

Things were getting pretty hot and steamy in the sauna between them now. And neither one of them were sure if they should put a stop to it or not.

This was just a dream, after all. It’s not like doing something in the sauna would backfire on them or anything.

Plus, no aphrodisiacs were required, either. That made things even better!
