The hunt...
This story was inspired by another one, by genesisburke's, titled similarly.
However, the game and captives are upside down.
Also, it includes not so common kinks, which often get voted down...
Anyway, I had fun writing it, and hope you have fun reading it.
Needless to say, all acts are consensual (mostly) and all characters over 18.

On a lazy Sunday, perusing the personals of some free online dating site, I came across a post that was positively captivating. Not just the image, I know many get photoshopped and are not images of whoever is posting.
"The time is now! Grab this chance to get in great shape and win a contest, one inside our gym. Think of a Greek challenge, add a twist, and imagine I am your judge...." To top things off, that was an ad from the gym in town, one that recently changed ownership.
Needless to say, over the last few months, I had let myself go somewhat. Not that I gained that much weight, but also not the appearance I had or want to have again.
Next day I made it to the gym.
DAMMNN!! The same hot chick that was in the ad, was the receptionist!! I tried really hard to behave and not stare down her low-cut halter top. She giggled, and not sure if it was on purpose or not, but as she giggled, she jiggled her chest sideways. Just lightly, but with that kind of candy on display, where would I sign? She introduced herself. "My name is Roxanne." I am still glad I didn't step on my tongue when I walked out.
No shit, the ad said it would provide motivation! And this one didn't lie.
Next day, at six AM, I was the first one there.
Believe it or not, Roxanne, with her even lower cut halter top and a smile that would make an icicle melt on the spot, opened up. I had the privilege to climb the stairs after her, and caught a glance or two, or twenty, of her walk up the steps.
I didn't really know what I was doing, but hit the elliptical, some free weights, and did some stretches. In short, I was somewhat mimicking what some of the obviously experienced guys were doing.
There were aerobics classes as well, one I got invited to but declined, with all glass walls between the different areas.
The atmosphere was different than in any gym I had been to before. The women seem to revel in the fact that they would catch as much attention as they could. Most of them were younger than me, and more self-confident, but there were a few that were my age or slightly above.
The guys all seemed to know each other. It was very much a team style atmosphere between them. As if they knew more about each other than you would find in a typical gym.
There were a few times I tried to strike up a conversation. Any of the openings of "Hi how are you, how long have you been working out here?" Those didn't seem to get anywhere.
A few weeks later, and working out every day, alternating between arm groups and leg group exercising, I had definitely not changed weight, but it had re-distributed itself somewhat. I was definitely fitter, much trimmer, and started to actually think my efforts were paying off.
I had given up on the small talk and just focused on what I wanted to accomplish, and got my motivation from dreams about, over, into and around those hot chicks that seemed to do whatever they could to get any guy's attention.
Just when I finished my tenth rep on the quad machine, with a personal record weight, a guy just seemed to happen to stand next to the machine, as if he was waiting his turn, and said: "So, are you trying this hard so you have a chance to participate in the contest?"
My breath was already choking me, but could not help coughing in reply: "What contest?"
"Don't be smart with me," the guy said. He was smaller than me, definitely more confident and had that type of air about him that in a bar fight, he would be in his element. Super trim and he looked like he would be fast. He continued: "You have been ogling Roxanne since you walked in. She must have let you in on some of the... uh... info."
I straightened my back, and in doing so, was towering over him. It didn't seem to affect him at all. He just looked up, straight in my eyes, and his confidence made me look for words. "Uh.... I have no idea what you are talking about," I answered.
Maybe he believed me. Maybe he didn't. I will never know. But his stance softened somewhat. "If she didn't tell you, I think you should go ask," he snickered. "If you have the balls."
He turned on his heels, away from me. Even though I was a foot taller than him, I have to admit he was one hell of a poker player. Maybe he carried an ace up his sleeve?
It took me a few days to get to a point where I didn't feel watched and near Roxanne before I had a chance to ask.
Decidedly brazen, and seemingly confident, I whispered: "So Roxanne, when were you going to tell me about the contest?"
Her pale blue eyes actually competed for my attention. Her halter top competed with her eyes. A cough later, and I was staring in her eyes, ready to get hypnotized.
With a giggle, she asked: "The guys told you about the contest?"
Now I was getting irritated. Everyone was acting all secretive about this damn contest.
"Never mind," and I turned away. I was actually allowing my mood to not take in another smoking hot image of this chick in her fire engine red halter top. Oh, with a spandex pair of boy shorts to match.
I actually made it three or four steps before she caught up to me.
"It is in a few months. If you train hard, you might make it in," she giggled. "That is, if you have the balls."
What the hell? I have been training as hard as my day-job would allow me to do. And what was it with this reference to balls? I shrugged it off. This was obviously some kind of practical joke, and if I was going to obsess about it, they would get the upper hand on me.
After the weekend, I was back at it. I managed an extra 10 minutes a day, which made me extra sore and happy I had a routine that alternated between leg day and arm/chest day.
The lean and fast looking guy didn't talk to me again. I learned his name was Thomas. Not Tom, as he corrected Everyone on that. But others shared a word here or there. Sometimes just "How are you," or "What's up?" which I hated, because it was not up to them asking me for a status update. But there was more communication, if you could call it that.
