Preparing to head out to go to the gym, Ashlyn called out to her husband of four years that she was leaving. "Harry! I'm leaving to go to the gym! I'll be back in a few hours," she exclaimed from the bathroom of their bedroom.
To her dismay he didn't really seem to care at all, he just lay in bed and groaned in response, which had been the recent trend of their relationship. Ever since he'd gotten that promotion at his job, he'd been nothing but a workaholic. He usually spent more time at work than he did at home, with his wife. He hadn't even touched Ashlyn in months; his daily routine would consist of him coming home late at night and going straight to bed. Sure, Ashlyn understood that he worked to provide for them, but she also had a job working as a nurse. Surely, their dual income was enough that he didn't have to work so much. And yet, Harry did so anyway, which infuriated Ashlyn. What made things worse was that he also made little to no effort to tend to his stunning wife the way he used to when they were first married. She didn't know what had happened, he just stopped.
Ashlyn was 25 years old, she was 5'7", had long silky curly black hair, and had pretty hazel eyes. She was mixed race, so Ashlyn had beautiful caramel brown skin. And her face was naturally very pretty as well. She couldn't understand why her husband, Harry, wouldn't even pay attention to her. Ashlyn's body was stunning: she had nicely shaped C-cup boobs, curvaceous hourglass hips, nice thighs, and curves in all the right places! Ashlyn also made every effort to take care of her body, working out consistently to maintain her beautiful form. Her husband' on the other hand' was only okay nowadays. He was just a normal Caucasian man, 5'9" tall with ordinary brown hair. Harry had seen better days when they had first met, but now he was very, meh.
"Uh, Harry? Did you hear me?" Ashlyn reiterated as she fixed her hair into a ponytail.
"Yeah, yeah. I heard you. Oh, by the way, I'll be working late again. I have to finish a project by tomorrow. So don't wait up for me," Harry responded, shuffling himself around in bed, trying to get back to sleep.
"Oh, okay..." Ashlyn disappointedly muttered.
"Another lonely night again I guess..."
she thought.
Ashlyn checked herself out in the mirror one last time to make sure her outfit was all sorted out. She was wearing black sports leggings with a white sports bra. She smirked to herself as she saw how good she looked. Too bad her husband didn't seem to care. Walking out of the bathroom, she passed by her husband already asleep in the bed and headed out to the gym.

Arriving at the gym, she ran through her usual workout routine of cardio, weights, and yoga. But after deciding to do some extra running, she unfortunately pulled her left hamstring, which brought her workout to an unfortunate end. "Augh! Shit!" Ashlyn groaned in pain, grabbing at her upper thigh. She turned off the treadmill, limped over to an open spot on the gym floor, and sat down. Straightening out her left leg, Ashlyn leaned forward and grabbed her toes to try to relieve her pulled muscle. She spent several minutes tugging back on her foot, trying to alleviate her pain. Despite utilizing several different stretching positions and massaging herself, Ashlyn snarled in annoyance; nothing she tried seemed to be working.
Sighing heavily, Ashlyn gave up. Her workout session was over and she had no choice but to head back home. Gathering her Hydro Flask and other gym stuff, she made her way painfully out of the gym. "Ugh, this is going to ruin my entire workout routine," she muttered to herself as she limped to her car. As she walked cautiously past several outlets, Ashlyn found herself outside one that seemed relatively new. An older-looking Asian man was sitting in a chair in front of it.
She witnessed him trying to entice several on-goers to enter his parlor. But the pedestrians just waved him off and walked past him. Ashlyn braced herself for giving him the same brush-off as she was about to pass him by. But with her pulled hamstring, she was particularly slow. Ashlyn tried her best to avoid eye contact with the Asian man but, to her dismay, she wasn't able to avoid the old man's notice as she limped awkwardly past him. As the beautiful curly haired light-skin hobbled into his view, the old fellow licked his lips at how sexy she looked in her leggings that wrapped so nicely around her thick thighs and how her sports bra squished her shapely boobs. He hungrily eyed up and down her well kept body. His scrutinizing stare was especially drawn to her long sexy legs. He concluded that he needed to get her into his parlor so he could feel up that body of hers. And, if he was lucky, maybe he could get away with a little something more than just touching...
Getting up from his chair, the old man approached Ashlyn and began to prod her. "Konnichiwa, miss!" he stated. "Would you like massage?" he asked in a thick Japanese accent. Ashlyn turned to him and shook her head no as she tried to push onward. But hindered as she was by her injured hamstring, she was a step too slow and the old man was able to step quickly in front of her, stopping her in her tracks.
"Er, no. I'm fine. Thank you," Ashlyn mumbled, as she tried to wave off the old Asian man. With him now standing directly in front of her, she was able to get a better look at him. She was a bit irked by his appearance. He was a bit shorter than her: his head only came up a little higher than her shoulders. His body was kinda skinny and frail looking; he looked like he might be in his sixties. Ashlyn also took note of his graying black hair and receding hairline. She felt somewhat uneasy about him; he had this pervy look to him she couldn't explain.
"Don't worry! Free massage for grand opening! I make you feel much better!" the old man insisted. "I see your leg. You definitely need massage. I can fix you up real good."
Ashlyn raised her eyebrow wondering how he knew that there was something wrong with her leg. "What do you mean? My leg is completely fine," she insisted, as she tried to hide the pain coming from her hamstring. But as she shuffled backwards away from him, she accidentally tweaked her pulled muscle, causing her to groan and wince in pain.
"Ah ah ah, I see you limp! I've been doing this for long time. I know when someone needs massage, and you need massage," the old man replied in broken English. "Don't worry! I give you free massage! It will be quick. Very quick."
Ashlyn thought about his offer for a moment. Her hamstring was really hurting and she was being offered a free massage.
"Might as well. It's not like I'm losing anything,"
Ashlyn thought.
"Come on, I give you free massage. Quick, won't take long," he reiterated.
"Em, okay... If it's just a quick massage, I'll do it, I guess..." Ashlyn apprehensively agreed. The old man looked visibly elated as he heard her accept his offer.
"Come on, then. This way," he urged, pointing in the direction of the parlor and preceding her inside. Ashlyn cautiously scanned her surroundings before following him in.
As she entered, Ashlyn examined the interior of the massage parlor. There was a small reception desk on her right with several waiting chairs lined against the wall to her left. The room was filled with an aroma of some unknown incense. Though it seemed strong, it was oddly relaxing. Taking another glance, it seemed that there was no one else in here but her and this old Asian man. And the space seemed pretty old and dusty, adding to her uneasiness.
