It was the first day of a long delayed vacation. I'd driven up to spend a few days sunning, swimming, and dancing.
On the first evening, I didn't unpack my alarm clock hoping that I could sleep in for a change. My body alarm was just as reliable and I was up early the next morning. My friends were the late rising crowd and after tossing and turning for a while I decided to put the extra time to use.
I'd dressed in a pair of shorts and a T-shirt and headed for the hotel's massive, chrome - covered gym. No waiting for machines this morning, stepping up to the stair stepper, letting my mind roam thinking about nothing and everything. I climbed infinite steps leading me exactly nowhere while giving my legs a good workout.
After a while someone caught my eye in one of the gym's many mirrors. An extremely good looking man over by the weights. I had no idea how long he'd been there, and I was angry at myself for not noticing him before.
Tall and muscular with sexy brown hair, this vision had relieved the tedium of exercising as I continued my stepping. I couldn't help but stare. He didn't lift like most body builders, but fast with almost passionate fury. Soon I could hear him breathe and I noticed that his tank top was becoming soaked with his perspiration. His shirt began to cling revealing the muscularity of his body. His hard, taut stomach and his well-formed pecs lead me to imagine the workout he could give me.
At some point he became aware of me too. I began to think that his routine had become a performance for my benefit. His sexy strut from machine to machine, and the way he let the weights drop loudly when he was done had certainly quickened my pace on the stepping machine.
I must have averted my gaze for a moment, or shut my eyes to fantasize in greater depth. But with the next look in the mirror he had disappeared. And my search began.
I checked everywhere finding only once place left to look. As I opened the door I past isle after isle of brightly painted lockers. I peeked around the last corner to see if my workout partner was there. Finally I came upon him. He was already stripped down to his bulging briefs.
