It was a hard day at work. I was up till 1 AM the night before putting the finishing touches on a new website I was designing, and today the emails just kept coming in. I like the independence of working for myself, but when there's not a boss above you worrying about cash flow and profitability, getting paid at the end of the month means you have to work even harder yourself.
By 2 PM my head was aching and I couldn't type another line of code, so I closed my pc and headed to gym to release some of the stress of the last few days.
My gym is quite upmarket, to say the least. I'm not much of a snob myself, but at the time I joined I was a bit overweight and very self-conscious, so I chose it because it was exclusive and never too busy. Today was particularly quiet; I guess because it was an unusual time, being after lunch time had finished but before the end of work rush.
I followed my usual routine and started out with a gentle jog on the treadmill, then a 400m row, then headed over to the exercise bikes. The bikes all have built in tv's, but they usually show sport or the news, so I prefer to bring my tablet and watch series while I'm cycling instead.
I was halfway through an episode of Game of Thrones when I noticed the guy next to me watching my screen. He was probably around thirty and had short light brown hair, but very light, almost blonde, and well defined arms with the muscles clearly visible and moving under his skin as he cycled. I lost track of the program as I checked him out from the corner of my eye, glad he was focussed on my screen. He stopped cycling and got off the bike, leaning down pick up his water bottle. I try not to be too obvious when I'm checking a guy out at the gym, but his ass in his tight gym shorts was so tempting and so close in front of me that I couldn't help myself. It was small, but looked firm and grab-able, and I had to stop myself reaching out and doing just that.
As he stood up and turned around he caught me staring at him. I quickly looked at the bike next to him, hoping he'd think I was looking there all along, but couldn't help myself from blushing slightly. He moved off to another part of the gym and I heaved a sigh of relief. Being called out for checking out another guy at an all-male gym wasn't exactly high up on my wish list. I finished my cycling set, pushing hard the last half. I imagined the sexy stranger's ass in his tight gym shorts bent over in front of me, and if I rode fast enough I'd catch up to him and claim my prize... The motivation worked, and I covered more than double the distance than I did in the first half.
I jumped off the bike, panting hard and sweating. I had hoped a hard ride would release some of the tension in my body, but I felt even more wound up. "I guess that's what you get for spending 15 minutes chasing an imaginary sexy ass," I thought to myself as I headed to the change rooms.
When I got there, the stranger from the bike next to me was a few lockers down from me, pulling his clothes off. I stood transfixed in the change room entrance as first his shoes, and then his shirt and shorts came off, dumped in a pile at his feet. His chest was perfectly chiselled, with small, pink nipples firm and pointing. He was fully shaven all over his body as far as I could see, right down to the strap of his underwear; and his six pack glistened with sweat. He picked up his clothes, then turned back to shove them in his locker with his back to me. He put his thumbs in the band of his underwear, and pulled them down pas his waist, letting them drop to his feet. My breath caught as I stared at his ass. Perfectly shaped and chiselled like a famous David Statue. It was even better than how I had imagined. He bent over to pick his underwear up, and what must have been a second or two felt like minutes, as my eyes feasted on every inch of his perfect, tan skin, following the curve in to where I knew his perfect tight hole waited. He stood up and grabbed a pair of boxers from his locker and put them on, grabbing his towel and heading for the showers before I even had a chance to put myself together. I was still standing there like a statue at the entrance to the change room, staring after him, probably with my mouth hanging open. I shook my head and pulled myself together. "Get a grip." I mumbled to myself as I walked to my locker and changed out of my clothes.
I decided to have a sauna, to relax my muscles after the hard ride, so I put my swimming costume on and headed for the showers. After rinsing off, I headed for the sauna and let myself in. To my surprise, on the other side of the door was the stranger from the bike, leaning against the far wall as he stretched his muscles. I took a seat on the first row of benches and leant against the wall opposite the stranger, so I could watch him without it being obvious. He stood on one leg and pulled the other up behind him tightly for a few minutes, then he swapped and did the other leg before sitting back down on the bench against the wall, looking at me.
The sauna was quite small, with only two rows of wooden benches and a small open floor space at the front covered in rubber mats. We both sat in silence for a while. I was trying my best to stare blankly into space and not make it too obvious that I couldn't keep my eyes off him. He moved up to the second row of benches and lay down on his back, staring at the roof. After a few minutes he got up and moved back down to the first row, sitting next to me.
"Whew! It's hot up there!" he said to me and gestured back to the second row.
"If you want to really cook go sit there."
I hadn't expected him to speak, so I panicked for a few moments before mentally scolding myself and found my voice.
"Oh, yeah it is." I said as I lifted my hand up to the second row height and felt the heat.
"I don't know how you stayed up there so long."
