"Uh... hi." Her handshake was firm. Fuck.
"I'm Sarah. Gideon's friend. Thought it might be useful for me to be here." She was dressed head to toe in bright pink lycra rowing kit, embroidered and logoed with the name of her club. She was slim and leggy without being emaciated. A bit like Gideon in that respect. Except she was cuter. Brown haired. Wicked grin.
"OK," I said. "Nice to meet you." I wasn't sure what to do next. I'd come here with the intention to indulge my kinks in front of someone who, even if he didn't really understand or know about them, would at least be too preoccupied by my proximity to notice. Not something I wanted an audience for. It made me feel a bit ashamed. Gideon had always fancied me and though I had a good few wanks thinking about him it was mostly him in the context of his rowing kit, dressed up in scrunchy tight fabric and giving his crew a good telling off. Not something I felt like I could explain to him.
She was looking at me appraisingly. I wasn't quite sure what to make of her yet. I hadn't been around girls much, especially not athletic ones. Gideon stepped in. "You wanted to try on some kit?"
"Uh, yeah. I guess," I mumbled. "Like, my hockey team's thinking of getting some jackets?" I said lamely.
He glanced at her before replying. "Sure. Mine's a bit big though. I like to layer up."
I pulled the waterproof splash jacket over my head. I was already starting to sweat a bit. He was right, it was baggy on me. That didn't matter so much. I still loved how it felt, how it crinkled. "Hmmm," I said, to cover up my rising excitement.
"Oh, it's too big," said Sarah. "I mean, it's cute when Gideon's all bundled up, but that just looks a bit... I dunno." Her eyes glittered mischeviously. "Why don't you try mine?"
Quick as a flash, she'd pulled her bright pink jacket over her head. She had small, firm-looking tits that were perfectly displayed by her tight long-sleeved training top.
I looked at Gideon. He fussed at the elastic cuffs of his jacket, started to help me take it off. I took a half-step back and did it myself rather than let him get any closer. I handed it to him and took the pink one from Sarah shyly.
She was right. It fit a lot better. I wasn't sure if it was particularly cut for a girl. I felt my cheeks turning the same bright pink as the jacket as they both looked at me.
"Yeah, that's all right," said Sarah. Gideon's stare was a lot franker.
I felt the crinkly pink fabric covering my arms and tried to ignore my painfully trapped erection. Sarah stepped forward and zipped the jacket up under my chin.
"Did you want to try anything else on?" asked Gideon. He held up some bits and pieces. Tights, long-sleeved top, and the holy grail, the lycra onepiece. His club's colours were drab compared to Sarah's shocking pink ensemble.
I wanted to try his kit on desperately, but there was no way I was taking my trousers off in front of these two. I'd never be able to hide my erection. "Um... dunno," I said, trying for non-commital.
Sarah had her hands on her hips. "Okay, why don't you show him?" she said to Gideon. "Get your kit off."
"Yes, coxie," said Gideon. He started stripping off, right down to nothing.
I looked at Sarah, carefully averting my gaze, pretending like this was normal. "Are you a cox too?" I asked her. "I would have said maybe a lightweight." Gideon was his team's cox.
"I'm better at telling people what to do," she replied. "Oh, would you look at that," she said to Gideon in a long-suffering voice. "How many times do I have to tell you?"
Gideon grinned back at her, by now proudly naked. "Sorry, coxie, can't help it!" His erection was purple and heavy, the head of his cock taut and shiny. "Not when he's around!"
I wasn't sure where to look. I couldn't make eye contact with either of them. They were playing some kind of game, that was clear. I had two choices: walk out or stay. If I left, I had to assume that I wouldn't get to play with any more rowing kit. If I stayed... I didn't know what was going to happen.
That made my heart pound. Fight or flight. Or just freeze. My body chose the latter.
"Here, put your kit on," said Sarah. Gideon grinned at me as he slid the tights up his legs, adjusting his cock to point up. He pulled on the long sleeve and then the one-piece.
My breathing was a bit rapid as I watched. Naked, I wasn't interested. He looked scrawny, weak, a bit desperate. Dressed up in his rowing kit, though, he looked lithe and powerful, like he might start sprinting or lifting weights at any moment. Or that his team-mates might burst in on us. He massaged his cock through the layers of lycra as he looked at me.
"Stop it," warned Sarah. He stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, inviting us to inspect him. "Anything your team might be interested in?"
My tongue felt thick and dry in my mouth. I imagined all the lads on the hockey team, the girls too, decked out like that under their uniforms. I knew one guy at least who wore his rowing kit as a base layer. I nodded. "Uh... all of it, probably."
I was suddenly self-conscious that I was still wearing the pink jacket. I looked down and realised I was hugging myself defensively. My arms were encased in pink.
"I don't think you can decide without trying it on," said Sarah matter-of-factly. "Here, give me my jacket back."
I fumbled with the zip and then pulled it off over my head reluctantly. She put it to one side.
"Gideon, get my bag."
"Yes, coxie." He picked up a kit bag and handed it to her.
"I think pink might actually be your colour."
I noticed too late that she was talking to me. I might have been looking at Gideon's body in motion, lycra stretching around him. I could have been imagining how it would feel to have my stiff cock trapped in tight kit like that.
She was holding out a bundle of kit to me, the odour of synthetic fabrics with a hint of locker-room about it. "What's this?" I asked, my hands taking it out of automatic politeness.
"I borrowed a set from one of the girls on my crew. Should fit you OK."
It felt lovely in my hands, smooth slick fabrics. "I dunno..." I glanced up nervously at Gideon. He was grinning at me.
"Oh, dear," said Sarah. She put her hands on my shoulders. "Stop arsing about. It's nothing we haven't seen before. I think you'll be quite pretty."
That was an odd choice of words. Pretty in pink, I suppose she meant. She started undressing me, pulling up my T-shirt, and I didn't fight her.
When Gideon started fumbling at my fly though, I gasped and took a step back. I wasn't ready for that.
"Gideon," she remonstrated. "Don't push. Give us some space."
"Sorry, coxie." He retreated across the room but he still had a big grin on.
I was naked, holding a bundle of pink rowing kit, hard as a bar.
Was that a look of disappointment on Gideon's face? "I thought he'd be bigger."
"Now, now," said Sarah. "Just ignore him."
I looked down, embarrassed.
"Tights first."
I hesitated. Then I gave her the tights.
"You say 'yes, coxie' when I tell you to do something, OK? Try it now."
"Y... yes, coxie."
"Good." She knelt and helped me step into the tights. The smooth stretchy fabric had a luscious shine to it. I nearly spunked myself when she slipped them over my cock and smoothed down the fabric with her hands. "How's that? You think your team'll like it?" She wasn't expecting an answer. "Top, please."
