Chapter 1
Sara had woken up in a good mood earlier that morning. The warm spring day and the scenic view from their bedroom window had improved her mood immensely. While lingering over what to wear in the morning she had decided to dress to reflect her mood. She took a long shower and while dressing she had dug deep into her underwear drawer finding a sexy, pale blue bra and panty set that she had bought when times had been a little better. Today these reflected her mood perfectly. She slipped her feet into the panties and pulled them up until they were fitting snugly over her mound.
Her well-developed thighs and calves were beautifully tanned, and the contrast with the pale fabric was a sexy sight. She noticed a few stray hairs peeking from the sides of the panties and resolved to trim her bikini line when she took her evening bath. She just never seemed to have the time to attend to her own grooming these days. She fastened the bra at her back and slipped her arms through the straps. Her mood was helped by her unexplained state of arousal. Her big pink nipples had hardened and were clearly visible through the lacy fabric of the bra. She stepped back and admired herself in the mirror. At 34, she still had a beautiful, muscular figure with a nice flat stomach. She allowed herself a moment of vanity; her own guilty pleasure. She walked over to the closet and took a colourful, patterned skirt from the hanger. She loved dressing in skirts and while she never wore inappropriately short skirts, she did like to showcase her shapely legs, and most were mid-thigh. She flipped through her tops until she found a pale pink top with a pretty lace collar. The tight fit of the top accentuated her breasts perfectly. It was an outfit perfectly designed to be respectable while also drawing the attention of men while she went about her tasks for the day.
After a day of shopping and errands, she parked the car in the driveway and despite her exhaustion, took a moment to reflect on the admiring looks she had received while walking around the mall. Several of the men she had seen while going about her chores had looked lustfully at her and it had buoyed her mood further. She was starting to become more aroused, her nipples seemed to be constantly hard and she could feel a slight dampness in the gusset of her panties. She hoped that her husband, Scott, would be in an equally good mood and once the children were in bed he would feel up to some long overdue lovemaking. These days it seemed they never made time for themselves or the physical aspects of their marriage.
She had met Scott while studying at university. They had been introduced by a mutual friend at a party after a track meet, and they had soon become an item. Scott was tall and lean and one of the lucky ones who seemed to never put on weight. While he loved most sports, he was not particularly good at any of them. Sara loved being a spectator and they were soon attending various sporting events together around the college campus.
It was during this time that Sara had started to consider participation in more sport. During high school she had been quite athletic and while she really enjoyed sports, she had never excelled at any, and wasn't interested in taking one up seriously.
That changed when her and Scott attended a female body building event. The tight, toned bodies of the women on the stage resonated with her and she could picture herself wearing a skimpy top and bikini bottoms and knew that with some dedicated gym work and guidance from the coaches, she too could be on that stage. A little shiver of apprehension ran through her as she imagined herself so skimpily dressed in front of so many people. She resolved to sign up for the body building club on campus on Monday morning.
Initially she found the training and diet difficult and for the first few weeks, by the time she climbed into bed in the evenings her muscles were aching, and she was completely exhausted. Despite this she kept to her strict fitness and eating regimen religiously and her body slowly started to become accustomed to the rigorous exercise. In fact, she found that if for any reason she missed a workout session she would work extra hard the following day to make up for missing her previous workout.
The results soon started to show, and her own muscle definition started to improve. Although she still has some way to before she would be able to enter an exhibition, the changes in her body spurred her on, and she kept working harder and harder.
Scott seemed bemused by her conscientiousness and made no effort to follow her lead. He was extremely supportive and seemed to be turned on by her firm, muscular body, and his regular compliments seemed to add to her motivation. She was curious that he had no interest in working out with her.
All these years later, despite having had 2 children she had found that her twice weekly gym sessions and watching what she ate had helped her maintain her fit body shape and she was still proud of the admiring looks she got from men.
Her recollections were broken by Jack asking her a question. Her memories swiftly faded, and the reality of her current life reluctantly returned.
"What was that Jack?" she asked her 9-year-old.
"I asked if dad was home?" he said for the second time.
"It looks like it. I see his car in the garage, but I think he may be working in his study. I expect he is working so let's leave him to concentrate for a while."
"Okay." said John, her 5-year-old.
"Take your stuff upstairs to your room and you can watch TV while I make dinner."
She unbuckled the boys from the back of the Honda, and they ran quickly into the house. As she took her shopping bags from the back of the car, she couldn't help noticing that the house was looking even more run down and the reality of their situation clouded her good mood for a moment.
