Introduction: Wouldn't you love to create and then sell a company making you independently wealthy? And what if you then decided to start out a new life in a new place and met your ideal fantasy partner there? This is such a story. It's fiction, but in my mind, it's much more than that. This will be a four-part story and may be extended by one or two more parts. There is no violence or underage sex in this story. There is, however, some woman-on-woman interaction in parts two through five and plenty of group action in parts two through four. I hope you find it stimulating!
Wickham's Landing
Part 1 - The Masseur
~1~ Bryce
I had recently relocated to a farm I purchased in the town of Wickham's Landing, located in Central Maryland. It was a quaint community nestled amongst large hardwood trees of many varieties. I had been busy settling in for a week, but that didn't stop me from looking for a local gym. I needed a thorough workout while taking a break from all the unloading and unpacking of boxes. There was a small gym located nearby named Wickham's Wonders. I decided that a gym with a name like that deserved a visit.
My first visit was marked by the usual awkwardness of getting accustomed to the gym's layout and the locals' styles. The gym was surprisingly well-equipped, neat, and orderly. I didn't see any unused weights lying around. People were courteous and would yield a machine without needing to be asked. It was an excellent choice of a gym for me.
I was settling into my routine on my second visit when "she" entered. By "she," I'm referring to a beautiful blonde with a sculpted body and captivating brown eyes that breezed into the gym as if gliding. I was amazed at the person I saw and tried to conceal my enthusiasm. Some of the other men weren't so considerate. I saw one guy walk into a pole, and another started overworking a weight machine in an apparent bid to look macho. Some people waved to her. She returned their waves with a smile that could melt ice as she glided past everyone and approached a bench next to mine.
"Is this one free?" she asked politely with a wave toward the unused bench next to mine.
"Absolutely!" was the best I could stammer while thoroughly enthralled. She seemed to be a bit younger than me, but I could only guess her age. It didn't matter to me, however. I wanted to know more about this goddess woman.
As she pulled on her gloves, I asked, "do you live in this area?"
She studied me for a moment before replying. Apparently, I looked safe because she replied, "yes, a short distance from here."
"We might be neighbors. I just moved onto the old Jones Farm site. I plan to renovate and expand the farmhouse soon."
"We are indeed neighbors! I live just a few minutes from there. Welcome to Wickham's Landing!" she beamed at me as she said this.
"Do you and your husband run a farm?" I quizzed.
"No husband and no farm. I'm not even dating anyone right now. I keep some horses and other pets on a small property. You've probably driven past it already. Come by someday, and I'll introduce you to my four-legged friends."
"I would love to see it sometime soon," I genuinely replied. I took the offer as a good sign and began my workout. As I practiced, I kept noticing her out of the side of my vision, and it was heavenly to watch her working out. I stopped my routine and turned to her. "Bryce is my name. It's a pleasure to meet you."
She replied pleasantly, "I'm Tara, and it's my pleasure as well." She held out a gloved hand, and I gave it a shake. Her handshake was firm, and her smile was captivating. She looked more beautiful every time I glimpsed at her.
I was turning from putting away some weights when I noticed Tara wince. "Trouble there?" I asked.
"Oh, this is nuts, Bryce. I have some shoulder issues right now, and I should probably give them more time to heal, but I can't go without my workouts long. I just finished a one-week weight exercise break, but I'm still a little sore."
"What are you doing for it?" I asked, genuinely concerned.
"I'm working with a PT to help me build my strength, but it takes time. I'm getting impatient, yet I know I'm supposed to give it time," she mused.
"Have you tried massage?"
"Oh, that would probably be very good, but I don't know a good masseuse," she wrinkled her eyebrows.
"Tara, I'm not a professional massage therapist or LMT, but I'm very good with massages for relaxation and muscle tension relief. I'd be happy to work on your shoulder for you," I offered.
Tara's face lit up, "you would do that? I would love to try it! When can we start?"
Her enthusiasm surprised me but helped me understand that she was indeed in pain. I was excited to have this beauty on my massage table. It would be a pleasure to give her shoulder some relief, and it would be a joy to feel her body and get to know her better.
"If you can put up with stacks of boxes, I can set my table up and have sheets in place with an hour's notice. Would this afternoon work for you?"
Tara whipped out her phone and checked her calendar. "I'm free after one o'clock today. How about one-thirty?"
"It's a date!" I declared perhaps too enthusiastically, but Tara squealed happily and clapped her hands.
"My shoulder is ready!" she said with a beautiful smile.
We exchanged phone numbers, but she already knew where to find my home. My farm was established over 200 years ago, and all the locals knew about it. When we left the gym, we were both excited. As I turned to my car, I looked at the sign again--Wickham's Wonders. I had just met one of the wonders and felt lucky to have made the acquaintance.
