I am Lexi, a 40 year old mother of one, "nothing special", just "normal". I look younger than my actual age, I guess that I am lucky in that regard, I have an older husband (50), and a son who has just started secondary school.
My sex life at the time was, Meh... my husband and I really only having sex only when we were either drunk or after watching a good game. And when we do, to be honest "it is vanilla!"
To keep fit I swim twice a week. As part of my work package, gym membership is discounted at a chain of Gyms, handily, there is a gym two minutes drive from the office!
Like many people, I don't like exercising alone, so a group of us from the office agreed to go swimming together.
At first there were five of us regularly attending, as time went on, the numbers dwindled to just myself and a manager called Tim (name changed). Once it became just Tim and I regularly attending, we naturally grew closer, often at work, popping out to the supermarket to get lunch, or going out for coffee together.
We also got more competitive at everything fitness, often sharing stats on our watches, trying to beat each other's times or steps, or my personal favorite, heart rates in meetings!
As time went on, I found myself looking forward to the swim sessions and our outings more and more. our friendship was becoming more than just a working relationship, I should have read 'the signs', but I was oblivious to them.
I have to point out, that I am self conscious about my body. I have a mum tum, stretch marks and other things I just don't like about myself. It took me a long time to pluck up the courage to walk into the pool in a swimsuit, especially with people I work with!
However, as our friendship grew, my body concerns deminished with Tim, so we also spent time together relaxing in the sauna, steam room and my personal favorite the jacuzzi!
Thinking back, I believe our relationship changed when we were in the Jacuzzi after a swim session.
As normal, we were just chatting about the day 'arguing' about who won, who was faster, you know like people do, when the the subject of my body consciousness came up, so self consciously, I explained my feeling's to Tim.
"Lexi, I do not know what you are on about, your body is sexy!" Tim exclaimed, giving me a sly wink.
Well I have to say, I blushed! In true 'Lexi style' I brushed off the compliment, continuing on as if nothing had been said. After about half an hour, we got out of the Jacuzzi and went to our respective changing rooms.
As normal, after getting changed, we met up outside, said our goodbyes and went our separate ways, but something had changed.
That night, my mind kept going over and over what Tim had said;
Was it just him being polite?
Was it him 'noticing' me?
How could I tell the difference?
I decided I wanted to find out!
The simplest way (other than just asking him) I could think of was, my swimming costume! When swimming, I always wore a conservative one piece sports black swimsuit, the kind that didn't hug too tightly, covered my bum, and had sufficient padding to hide my boobs and sensitive nipples. Up to this point in my life, the standard suit had served me well, "but not now" I thought to myself, "now was the time to step it up!"
That weekend I went out and bought a two piece sports set, still quite conservative, still covering my bum, the pants still high enough to cover my tummy, but much tighter and critically, no padding, also it was blue and made of a much lighter material. I looked forward to the next swim session, but planned on taking my original suit just in case I had a change of heart!
The day of our next planned swim session arrived all too soon.
Arriving at the gym, I made my way to the changing rooms and got changed, my mind was racing, my stomach was churning, the new two piece was on. "Oh God", I thought "am I really doing this?", my mind was in termoil. Grabbing my towel, I walked quickly with it covering my front so people couldnt see my new costume into the pool area.
Tim arrived a few minutes later, walked to the side of the pool and instantly commented that "have you got a different costume on?", he couldn't really see any detail as I was up against the wall and he was above me. I guessed he noticed the colour change.
"yes", I said with a cheeck grin.
We got on with the 'serious' business of our swim, with nothing more being mentioned.
At the end of the session Tim suggested "why don't we sit in the Jacuzzi for a while".
This was it, no going back, agreeing, I swam over to the ladder followed by him.
Climbing out on the ladder, I heard a sharp inhale of breath from behind me, my heart was pounding, a smile on my face, I could feel myself blushing.
Tim got out of the pool and said quietly " very nice".
I pretended not to hear, picked up my towel, holding it in front of me started walking to the Jacuzzi followed by him, dropping my towel, I stepped in.
I turned around to find him looking at me intently. "what?" I said, knowing full well he was looking at me with lust in his eyes.
Tim quietly replied, " Lexi, you look stunning",
Quickly I sat down, I could clearly see a bulge in his shorts! "Well that was the question answered" I thought to myself!
Tim and I sat in the Jacuzzi, the water bubbling away, him sitting beside me, which is unusual as we normally sat opposite each other. I was feeling really turned on, even knowing I shouldn't have been, I am a married mother after all. I knew what I was feeling was wrong, but I couldn't help myself.
Tim turned to me after a few minutes and said, "please don't be offended, but damn, you look fucking good! I am struggling to keep my eyes and hands off you!"
I could have and should have said, "stop it", put an end to this here and now, but I didn't, I smiled at him simply saying "thank you", "eyes are okay hands, maybe later" I said with a cheeky grin.
After a few more awkward seconds, I asked him "I take it you like my new costume then?"
"Fuck yes" was his enthusiastic reply.
I turned and looked at him. slightly taken aback with his colouful use of language. He was grinning like a Cheshire cat.
Suddenly I felt his hand gently touching my leg, under the water, a feeling of electric surged through my body, I could feel my body getting more and more turned on, I was loving this!
"Steam room?", Tim asked after a few beautiful minutes of sexual tension, his hand rubbing slowly up and down my thigh.
"I thought we were in it" I quipped back at him with a sly smile. Grinning he took my hand. Stepping out of the jacuzzi, all thoughts of modesty long gone, we made our way there.
Entering, thankfully we were alone; it was almost eight pm, the pool and spa area were quiet.
The room was dark, a heady essance of eucalyptus permeated the hot air. Slowly making our way to the back corner we sat next to each other, our bodies touching, the sexual tension was unbelievable! I felt elated and excited all at the same time, as well as being scared.
Having to break the silence, I asked "what do you like about the new costume then?"
His reply was quick and concise, "how tight it is on you, it shows off your shape beautifully".
"Is that all?" again teasing him, I just couldn't help myself! I was loving the attention that was being lavished on me.
" Well no, I don't mean to sound crude, but I love the way your perfect nipples are poking through, and how the suit goes see through when it's wet".
I quickly looked down, sure enough even in the dimness of the steam room, I could make out the dark pinkness of my nipples showing through, my bottoms showing the top of my crack, "oh dear", I thought, that I hadn't planned on!
I think he senced my shock, and embarrassment.
"I hope I didn't offend you, I meant it as a compliment!" he stammered.
Now, again I had a natural opportunity to stop this, I could have and again, should have, said something polite then left, but I didn't.
"No it's okay, I like the fact you noticed" did I just say that???
"It's just a shame that you're not confident enough to show, your body off more, its so sexy, I would love to see more of it" he said
I could have cut the tension with a knife.
"Would you like to see more of me now?" I asked, god I felt like a slut for asking that, but I was soo turned on I didnt care.
Instantly his reply was simple and firm "Yes''.
My heart skipped a beat, I looked at the door, the pool was flat calm, we were alone, the cameras couldn't see in as it was dark, It was now or never.
Slowly I turned, looking Tim in the eyes, I lifted the top over my boobs, my nipples rock hard sprang past the elastic, even in the darkness of the steam room I could see Tims eyes fixed on my boobs, a silence hung in the room.
"Fuck I want you Lexi!", he exclaimed.
Just at that moment, I heard someone enter the pool, I quickly dropped my top back down, " we should be going" I said, the spell broken.
" Fucking hell.....of course" was the frustrated reply from him, trust me I felt the same!
I quickly exited the room followed by Tim, both of us bright pink, me with my arms strategically placed across my chest, him shuffling sideways trying desperately to hide the bulge in his shorts.
Grabbing my towel I made straight for the showers in the ladies changing rooms, sadly without controls I couldn't make it cold!
We met in the foyer as normal, only awkward this time.
"See you tomorrow" I said, him sadly looking on as I quickly left the gym.
I got in my car, I sat there thinking, "what have I done????" but also, "damn why did that person come in to the pool so late!"
I went home and went straight to bed, feigning exhaustion to my husband, there was no way I could sit and make idol conversation with him feeling like this! I lay in bed wondering what might have been.
The next day, I walked into the office as normal, aprehensive about seeing Tim, I needent have worried, there was a massive buzz going around, everyone seemed animated, alot more than usual.
"whats going on?" I asked a work colleague,
"Borris is about to make an announcement" was the reply.
We all stood in front of our live news screen and listened in shock to the monumental announcement. The country was in Lockdown!
We were all told to go home. We would be contacted by HR shortly. Grabbing my computer, I messaged my husband, and headed home, I had to go and collect my son from his school.
Getting home, we sat in shock, what we were going to do? Stay here or move in with my mum, her house was bigger and sadly she was on her own. After discussing we stayed put, our sons toys were here, his bed was here, mum could stay with us if she needed.
That night I messaged Tim, he was on his own living in his house in an adjacent town.
