I'm ass-to-the grass on a heavy squat when I notice her in the gym's mirrored wall. She's probably pushing her mid- to late-fifties. Spiky salt-and-pepper hair. Cute little nose and green eyes. A nice figure beneath her shorts and tight spandex top - - apple-sized tits, well-defined thighs, and trim shoulders. I groan and my quads bulge as I raise 320 pounds of iron plates back into the rack.
There are cougars. And then there are pumas. If she's hot and over fifty, she's a puma.
While she hoists a pair of light barbells over her shoulders, this particular puma is giving me the sideways eye-fuck as I step out of the squat rack. I smile into the mirror, wipe the bar down with my towel, and start unloading the big round plates.
I've been lifting since I was sixteen. True, I started hitting the gym to impress the ladies. But now, at twenty-two, I do it because it makes me feel good. Through my dad's death, dropping out of college, and multiple break-ups, lifting keeps me centered and steady. Better than therapy, as one of my gym buddies constantly opines.
It's good therapy, sure. But, it does also help with the ladies. And, to be honest, my taste in ladies has changed a bit over the past couple of years. Not too long ago it was all tight, fresh-faced gym-bunnies and yoga instructors. These days, I've developed a taste for more mature pleasures. That's one good reason why, after clearing out the squat rack, I grab a pair of dumbbells and take a seat on the bench next to Mrs. Puma. (Yep, she's got a shiny band of gold on her finger.)
She pretends to ignore me and keeps pumping her arms up and down, focusing on her own reflection in the mirror. I rest my dumbbells on my knees until I feel my heart rate settle back into the comfort zone. I glance at her mirrored reflection and she flashes me a quick look. She pauses.
"Great form," I say to her reflection.
She blinks, startled perhaps that I've noticed her.
"Thanks," she answers with a little smile.
I grin back at her. "When you push up," I say. "Try not to press the weights together."
She raises her eyebrows.
"You work the delts better when you push straight up."
She looks confused.
"Here," I say, standing up and moving behind her. "Can I show you?"
She smiles a little unsteadily.
"It's easy." I reach down to touch her elbows.
"Okay," she says and raises her arms back up.
"There you go." I place my palms under her elbows and guide her arms upward. "Keep them separated."
She smiles at me again as the dumbbells rise over her shoulders.
"And, lower them nice and slow. Excellent." Her upper arms press down against my hands as I add a little more resistance to her eccentric contraction. "Very nice," I say, leaning down and lowering my voice. "By the way." I'm almost whispering in her ear now. "You are in beautiful shape."
She's flustered by my compliment, smiling and turning her eyes away from me at the same time.
"Keep going." I encourage her by nudging her arms back up. "Let's do some more reps."
When she finishes her shoulder presses, I compliment her some more and we trade names.
"Pleased to meet you, Vince," she says. "I'm Naomi."
"Pleasure is all mine Naomi," I answer. "How about some water?"
She nods and I pass her the pink water bottle next to the bench. We chat. I like her laugh - - it's deep and throaty. I also like the way she begins to tap me on the shoulder as I tease her about putting all the younger girls in the gym to shame. She asks me if I can help her with her lateral raises and I stand behind her as she raises a set of dumbbells up from her hips.
By the time she's done working her shoulders, we've agreed that we should have coffee. She suggests a place over on Howard Street and I offer to drive. After showering and changing, we meet in front of the gym's reception desk. My hungry eyes devour her petite body and the promises made by her tight shorts and clingy blouse.
When I pull in front of the coffee shop, I turn and rest my hand on her bare knee. We look into each others' eyes and she blushes. I lean toward her and we kiss. She seems hesitant at first but then, with a deep sigh, she wraps her arms around my neck and pulls my lips hard against her mouth.
When we break our kiss, we're both panting. Wordlessly, I turn the key in the ignition and pull back out onto the street.
"Where are you going?" She says breathlessly.
I leer at her. "My place. It's just over on Jackson. I make great coffee."
"Oh my god," she practically squeals and throws her head back. "I don't believe this."
I chuckle and steer the car to my apartment. I open the car door for her and she steps out, looking up and down the street warily.
"Come on," I say, sweeping my hand toward the door to my second-floor walkup. "It's just coffee."
She rolls her eyes and I follow her up the walk. I climb the stairs behind her and watch her curvy ass roll back and forth. Inside the apartment, she stands uncomfortably in the middle of the living room. I toss my gym bag on the couch and walk toward her, tugging my sleeveless t-shirt over my neck.
"Oh my god," she whispers. "What am I doing?"
I smile and slide and my arms around her waist.
"Doing what comes naturally," I say as I lean down to kiss her.
We kiss, tenderly at first and then crazy and sloppy. I pick her up in my arms and carry her into the bedroom with our lips mouths still glued together. I lower her to the bed and yank her shorts and panties down over her knees.
"Oh my lord," she whispers.
I slide my face between her thighs and she's already wet. I grunt with happiness and start licking and nibbling her velvety lips. Her knees rise and I feel her hands pushing my head tighter between her thighs. Wrapping my hands around her thighs and squeezing, I gobble up her clit between my lips.
Naomi is noisy. She grunts and groans and gasps as I lap at her. I reach down and push my shorts off my hips and my cock bounces free. I lick my way up her stomach and she pulls her blouse off her shoulders and yanks her sports bra down to offer me her nipples. While I munch on one big strawberry and then the other, I reach down and guide my cock into her warm, wet cunt. With a shove of my hips, I drive deep into her.
I attach my mouth to hers and, as our tongues wrestle together as we fuck hard and fast. The headboard knocks against the wall and the bed hops up and down on the floor. Naomi smacks me on the shoulders with her palms and I bury my lips into her neck. She yelps once or twice and I can feel her body tremble. My cock grows thicker and heavier. Our sweaty and slick bodies slide together and I drive my hips forward. My cock explodes deep inside her. She half-sighs half-groans and sinks her fingers into my muscled shoulders.
Later, after cuddling in my arms, she licks and sucks my cock back to attention. We fuck again, slower and more sensually, our fingers and lips and tongues exploring each other. I come even while she's still twisting her hips furiously against my cock.
She lies naked on top of me and we doze.
When I wake up, she's gone. But, there's a note on my nightstand.
I need some help with my curls, it reads in long, spidery letters. Wed. at 10 a.m. Naomi. She's written her cell number beneath her signature.
It's Monday. I roll over and catch some extra z's before I head to my job on the loading docks at Orange Freight.
Life goes on. I eat. I sleep. I work out. I put my hours in at Orange. Early Wednesday morning, I text Naomi.
