He laughed and told her to hurry up. After removing her shorts and t-shirt, she got on the table. Paul directed her to lay face up and then covered her with a light sheet to keep from getting a chill. He placed a small round pillow under her knees, moved behind her head and told her, "Now, just close your eyes and relax. If I start pressing down too hard, let me know, okay?"
She felt his hands begin to lightly rub her temples and scalp through her still-damp hair. Next, his hands moved back along her head and down her neck. He cradled her head and she could feel his fingertips pressing up just under the base of her skull holding her head up slightly.
"Just take a deep breath and let it out while you try to relax," he directed. She felt him pulling back slightly on her head and letting her breath out, she could feel the tension leaving her head and upper neck.
"This isn't too bad," she thought. "I could get used to this."
Paul's hands moved down her neck and began rubbing along the base of her neck and working outwards toward her shoulders. He paused and when she opened her eyes, she saw him warming some scented oil in his hands.
"What's that?" she asked.
"Some jojoba oil with a few drops of lavender and eucalyptus oils mixed in," he replied. He resumed rubbing her shoulders and her nose filled with the scent of the oil as his hands glided over her skin. She felt them move down over the top of her chest, pressing into her pectoral muscles.
As his fingers worked methodically into her flesh she couldn't believe how good it felt, at each point, Paul's hands found areas of tenderness in her body and soreness in her muscles that she hadn't noticed before. His touch was firm, yet not too hard, and the slight discomfort she felt when he pressed on a particularly sore area dissipated under his caring and relentless touch.
Moving down further along her pecs, Paul slid the sheet down to uncover her breasts and Nancy felt a rush of excitement. Paul observed that her small soft breasts lay back flat against the sides of her chest, but the nipples were standing erect. Restraining himself, he concentrated on continuing the massage around her breasts to reach the muscles beneath them. A few seconds later, he pulled the sheet back up to cover her body and Nancy felt surprised by the sense of disappointment that crossed her mind. As tired as she was, she realized that she had been hoping and expecting that Paul was going to take advantage of her exposed body and pleasure her sexually instead of continuing with the massage. These thoughts made her realize more than ever how much her lifestyle had changed in the two months since meeting him.
For his part, Paul was finding it more and more difficult to concentrate on giving her a massage. Looking down on her still form, he saw the peaceful calm on her face and a slight smile on her lips. When he first uncovered her upper body, he felt a stirring between his legs at the remembrance of kissing, sucking, and teasing her soft breasts, and how Nancy found she enjoyed a degree of hard nipple play. The clamps he'd given her had gotten a lot of use lately and he remembered the one afternoon she'd returned from work and confided to him that she'd worn the clamps with a small weight dangling between them for most of the day at work. She didn't wear a bra and the entire day, she felt everyone's eyes, She would go to the ladies room periodically to release them and feel the fire rushing through her nipples and breasts. The last time she did it, she couldn't resist fingering her wet pussy until she came with a muffled groan. Returning to her workstation, she wondered if anyone could tell what she had been doing. The more she thought about it, the harder it was to concentrate on her work and she found her hand moving between her legs again. She told Paul it was all she could do to stop thinking about sex and re-focus on her job.
Returning his own thoughts to the task at hand, Paul added some more oil to his hands and began working his way down her right arm. She was surprised at how tired her upper arm felt and recognized that it was probably because of the way she held her running form. It caused her to hold her arms up in a semi-flexed position for long periods of time. Next, Paul took her forearm in both hands and raised it slightly off the table. She felt his thumbs pressing in along the upper muscle as they slowly moved down towards her wrist. She immediately felt the soreness in that part of her arm from using her computer mouse and enjoyed the dull ache fading away under his expert touch. Finally, he took her hand in both of his and his thumbs pressed into her palm sliding up and across the inside of her hand towards the base of her fingers.
"God, this feels like heaven!" she thought.
Paul lowered her arm back to the table and covered it with the sheet. Moving around to the other side of the table, he repeated the procedure on her left arm leaving Nancy in a state of relaxed semi-consciousness. Next, he moved down and adjusted to sheet to reveal Nancy's left leg. After warming some more oil in his hands he began working from the top of her thigh down towards her knee.
As his hands first touched the top of her thigh, Nancy felt a tingle move through her leg and tried to concentrate on relaxing it as Paul continued his movements. His hands grasped her upper thigh and his thumbs pressed into her flesh as he slowly slid his hands down her leg. He felt the tenseness in her already tight leg and told her to take a deep breath then let it go completely. Nancy complied with his direction and noticed the change in her whole body as she continued to try and relax. The warmth of his hands helped, but each time he moved up to the top of her leg, she felt the same tingling chill of excitement as when he first touched her there.
By the time Paul moved down to her lower leg, Nancy had once more become relaxed and was enjoying the kneading and stretching of her calf muscles. As his hands worked into her leg, she moaned quietly from the relief she felt. Her legs always stiffen up and ached after her runs, especially the long ones, but she usually just took a couple Motrin tablets and tried to stay off her feet until the soreness went away. "This was WAY better than a couple pills!" she thought.
Paul finished her left leg and then took her foot in his hands. Applying more oil, he worked into the sole of her foot and over her instep. It felt so good, she wished he'd never stop, but after just a couple minutes, he set her foot back down and covered her leg again with the sheet. He shifted to the other side of the table and uncovered her right leg up to the hip.
Once again, Nancy felt the slight chill from the air on her skin and the involuntary shiver that passed through her leg when he first touched it. He repeated the same process on her right leg that he had just completed on her left side, but instead of covering her back up with the sheet, he lifted it up on one side and instructed her to turn over. He had her move herself up along the table so that her head rested in the face cradle at the end of the table. Once she was situated, Paul replaced the sheet over her and moved the small roll under her legs so that it was under her ankles, leaving her legs in a more relaxed condition.
As he replaced the sheet over her, Paul let himself take a moment to enjoy the view of Nancy's backside. Her bottom was somewhat flat and her hips weren't as round and shapely as conventional views deemed attractive, but nonetheless, he enjoyed her appearance and how nice she felt in his arms. When they danced together or made love, his hands would often find their way down to her bottom and as he squeezed and held it, he noticed that it was still very firm and tight.
Paul adjusted the sheet to reveal Nancy's shoulders and after warming some more oil in his hands, he began working from her neck and shoulders downward. His touch remained firm, yet gentle as his fingers worked into her back and found small areas of tense muscles. As he worked through them, they slowly released leaving Nancy feeling even more relaxed than ever. By the time he reached her lower back, she was half-asleep again. He worked around her hips and eased some of the lower back pain she would frequently feel from the pounding her body took during her running.
