"Come over to my place tonight we can work on mum's home gym," Luke said as they put their gear away after the last game of the season.
Blake knew that he needed to build up his strength. He was fast in attack. His coach said he was the fastest in the city competition. The trouble was his defence.
In attack, he could beat most opponents through sheer speed. It was in defence where he let the side down. When he tackled them, they just brushed him away. "Build up your bloody strength and you'll be worth your weight in gold," coach Bullard told him after the game.
"This is Rugby League lad; we can't run on both attacking and defending sides like Yankee football. You have to be both; you have to play the full ninety minutes. It doesn't matter to me how fast you can run, its defence that counts."
Luke's mum slowed down as she reached home after her regular evening run, Blake pulled up beside her.
"Hi Mrs. Russo, still running every day?" he asked as they stopped to walk in the front gate. Kaleena Russo smiled, "yes Blake, I can't get it out of my system. Running has been apart of my life since I was a kid."
Blake walked behind her as they entered her house. He couldn't help but admire her long thin body. The movement of her hard round bum attracted his eyes. There was a wet patch down the back of her training pants, leading interestingly to a well-defined split in her backside. Not bad for an oldie, he thought
Most women her age would die for a body like hers. She did not carry an ounce of unwanted fat. Her tummy was flat and hard, yet he noticed for the first time that her breasts looked soft and round.
He whistled, "My god you look great,"
"Why thank you Blake what brought that on?" "I was studying you as we came up the path. You have not grown fat like many of my mates mums; you still have the figure of a girl. You've got a great body, Mrs. Russo."
"Thank you that's a lovely compliment. I grew up in an athletic family. My dad was a top coach."
"I have exercised all my life. I don't run to keep thin but if I stop now I will put on weight." She looked back at him and smiled, "what I need to make it more enjoyable is a running partner; one fit enough to keep up with me."
"Luke tells me you're the fastest runner at school. If you ever need a running partner, I would be available. Especially if you promise to be kind to an old lady and not go too fast," she said with a chuckle.
Blake thought I have had enough bloody running. Being fast is not the answer. He started to tell her he wasn't interested in running. Then realized that she would probably think he didn't want to run with her because she was too old.
He took her by the hand, "please Mrs. Russo sit here. I need to explain myself."
Blake was blushing and so embarrassed that when they sat together on the lounge he forgot to let go of her hand. "Your not old he said, as his eyes ran over her body once more. I would love to run with you, but running is not my problem. It's my lack of bulk, my lack of strength, my inability to tackle hard and knock my opponents down."
Kaleena Russo had always had a soft spot for Blake; he had been Luke's best mate for years. She had watched him grow up. My god, she thought as they sat close together, he has grown into a handsome young thing. She smiled; it was a long time since she had sat holding hands with a young man. She was enjoying his interest.
"Luke said we could work out on your home gym equipment," Blake said as he realized he had been holding her hand. She gave his hand a squeeze, "that's a good idea I'll drop down and help you set it up, after I've had a shower."
Some time later Kaleena Russo stood in the doorway of her private gym. It was quiet out here in the back of their detached garage. Luke was slumped on the old sofa watching TV, while Blake was working with some light weights.
As he exercised, Blake was thinking about sex. He sighed I still haven't scored and I'm bloody nineteen. I've got to score soon he thought, as he struggled to think of any possible opportunities amongst the girls at school.
Luke had told him about the Parker twins, the blonde bimbos that hung around the team putting out for the top players. He remembered Luke saying that they always blow the best players after each game. His cock grew hard as he remembered how Luke had described in detail his afternoon with both of them. Blake groaned as he tried to imagine two sets of hot red lips attacking his cock.
His cock stirred as his imagination ran out of control. It expanded and grew hard caught up in his shorts. Not knowing Mrs. Russo was watching he shoved his hands down the front of his close fitting Lycra shorts.
He gave his cock a couple of rubs before straightening it. After he removed his hand, his cock was harder still, pushing up towards his navel.
Kaleena felt for Blake, she knew what it was to want to make the team and be rejected. There is nothing wrong with his body, she thought. He has a good strong frame, he just needs to do the right exercises and he will be right.
She put her hand over her mouth to stifle a gasp. Dave had pushed his hand down the front of his shorts; he clearly had an erection. My god she thought, he's playing with himself. She blushed as he removed his hand, leaving his long hard cock erect in his shorts.
Kaleena's mouth went dry; she couldn't help but stare at what was clearly an erect penis. It was hard to remember when she had last seen an erection, even one hidden by a pair of skintight shorts. She could feel herself blushing as her eyes returned repeatedly to Blake's cock. She crept away, back to the safety of her own kitchen.
Her husband Harry was a couch potato. He refused to exercise and drank far too much beer. The last time he had got sexually excited when they were together, was over a year ago.
As she prepared dinner, Kaleena could not get Blake out of her mind. "Tell me what's wrong with Blake?" she asked Luke as they sat down to dinner. "There is nothing wrong with him. Coach Bullard says he's too light. When next season starts, he is going to drop him from the team."
"I though he was the fastest runner in the team," Harry said, taking an interest for the first time
"Yep he can beat us all, but he is not worth a crumpet in defence. Blake knows it. He admits that our bigger opponents just brush past him. He wants to prove coach wrong, but doesn't know what to do."
He looked at his mum, "I told him you would let him use your gym."
Harry had been eating quietly, "why don't you help him Kaleena. You have been around athletes all your life. You know what to do." "I don't really," she replied. "I know how to train someone to run; you need a specialist to build muscle and strength in the right places."
