It was one of those days. You know, hot and sultry, air conditioning fans whisking around in the office scattering papers everywhere. Although I had had a shower before setting off for work, I was now feeling very uncomfortable, and I had yet more sweating to do at the gym later on.
I tumbled out of the office at 5pm along with the other 300 employees, and headed to the car park. 'bye Helen, enjoy your workout' shouted one of my colleagues. 'Thanks, see you tomorrow for lunch'.
I drove along the crowded streets lined with people shopping, waiting for buses home, and mums pulling tired, crying toddlers along the street, and headed for the outskirts of the town to our new gym.
It was a purpose built building, privately owned and run, with a fully stocked gym, sauna and solarium, health suite with Jacuzzi and steam room, plus a new massage suite. I was looking forward to tonight, as I had an appointment for a full body massage after my workout. I couldn't wait!
The lady who ran the massage suite was good at her job and always had a smile and made your tired muscles feel really good after a long day.
As I pulled into the member's car park, I saw a strange car parked in the staff car park, but shrugged it off. Perhaps they have taken on a new member of staff in the coffee bar, I thought. They certainly need one.
I grabbed my things from the car and marched briskly into the gym reception,.. to met by the most gorgeous pair of blue eyes I have ever seen! The Adonis stood behind the reception desk was very muscular, you could tell from the bulging muscles of his arms below his white T-shirt. I stood and gaped.
'Can I help you' he said.
'Um, ah, yes,' I said, trying to regain control of myself.
'Helen Daniels, I have come to use the gym and I have an appointment for a massage at 7.' 'Oh yes' he said, fumbling through the appointment book, 'your appointment with the masseur has been changed, I don't know if you know, but Sue is leaving at the end of the month and I have been taken on to take her place. I'm Steve, how do you do?' He put out his hand and I felt a strong but at the same time, gentle grip as his fingers closed around mine.
'Nice to meet you, Steve' I stuttered. I'll get on with my workout and see you later then.
As I changed into my gym gear, I couldn't stop myself thinking about this gorgeous hunk who would shortly be running his hands all over my body. I shuddered. Feeling a shiver run around me, just imagining it. 'Come on, pull yourself together' I said to myself.
I had a really good workout finishing up on the treadmill for a 20-minute run. I really get a buzz when I work out. I feel really alive, and ready for anything. Well, almost anything! As I headed for the showers, Steve passed by me in the corridor. 'Okay Helen, see you in 5 minutes, and we'll get started'. 'Okay', I mumbled, starting to get butterflies in my stomach. As I stood under the shower jets, I was startled to find that I had this tingle, which started between my legs, and, was also making my nipples more sensitive than usual. 'Oh come on Helen' I said to myself, 'he's a professional person, and masseur is his job, for Christ sake get a hold of yourself!'
I towelled off, and wrapped the thoughtfully placed large white towel around my aching body. Oh, I needed to relax, and would now be able to for a while and be pampered.
'Hi, come on in and jump up on the couch, I won't keep you a moment'. As I lay there, under the glare of the lights, watching his preparations, I noticed that my breathing was a little heavier than normal. 'Probably due to that 20 minute jog' I thought to myself. 'Well,' said Steve, 'I have looked at your records and its an overall massage for you, is that right?' 'Y-es' I said, suddenly being unable to string a coherent sentence together. ' Do you have any problem areas that you want me to work on?' 'No, um, I don't think so, but I worked out hard today, so something may show up'. 'Okay, turn over onto your stomach and I'll do your upper body first'
