Beads of sweat ran down my face and dripped off my chin, splashing onto the rugged tread as the loud thuds from my running shoes echoed around the brightly lit gym. The bright florescents beamed down into my eyes yet I still kept my gaze centered with the only movement being the slight bounce of my body with every strenuous step. My body felt like it was on fire, my lungs pulling in oxygen that burned in my tummy while the rest of the world melted into nothingness around me. I was almost there, almost finished, the numbers on the treadmill counting down one by one til there was almost nothing left. Every part of my body was caked in sweat, feeling it drip off my nose and run down my back in little streaks that painted me like a fish that had just made it's way out of the water.
The simple white t-shirt I normally wore clung to my body like a second set of skin, making simple wet 'thwaps' whenever I moved. My red and black basketball shorts swung from my thighs while something red slithered and wiggled beneath the surface like a red dragon waiting to take flight. A simplistic red thong, one that stuck between my cheeks and made my butt look way bigger than it actually was. Athletic spandex sinking into two framed cheeks and soaking up that sweat like a dirty rag being used to clean two wet balloons. Inside my head I was focused on the feeling of how it sat between my cheeks, how it slid up and down along my member and how it just barely covered my hole. It was meant for women, obviously, yet still it just felt RIGHT when it was pressed against me so sensually. Something about it just being there made the run much more stimulating.
I was almost finished, almost at the finish line, the numbers just about to hit zero as I sprinted to release the final bit of energy my body had been hanging onto when suddenly something snapped my from my haze and nearly sent me tripping over my own feet.
"Oh my god.. Are you.. You're the champ here right?"
My head snapped to the side as my foot skidded along the rugged conveyor and my whole body jolted forward. I nearly fell face first into the LCD display as my hands quickly grappled with the edges of the treadmill. Finally I tugged myself upright, breathing heavy as I threw my feet onto the platforms along the edges, allowing the treadmill to slow to a stop. My head scanned the gym as I tried to find the person talking to me, taking in the sight of all the different men who clung to different areas of the floor in little cliques. The clanging of metal weights finally smashed against my ears like the sounds of a bullet as I fully exited the little runners high that I had going on. My arm came up, wiping the sweat from my brow and sending it cascading to the side. My lungs burned and my body ached while my entire form heaved with laborious pants. Finally I spotted him, someone I had never seen before, which was rare since I had been here for so long.
He was short but strong. His shirt clung to the hills and valleys of the muscles that sat just barely visible under the surface. It looked like he had purposefully bought something that was too tight, probably trying to show off what he had to make up for his lack of height. A little smirk appeared over my lips at the thought.
"Oh! Sorry I didn't see you there. I am." My voice sounded nonchalant, almost uninterested even though I had tried to pump some energy into it.
I could see the slight ghost of a frown that appeared over his lips when I said I didn't see him but it was quickly whisked away by another enthusiastic smile that stretched over his lips. He just.. stood there for a second, not really saying anything as if he was waiting for me to come down and join him. It was slightly annoying but I knew it couldn't be helped, pushing the stop button on the treadmill as I hopped down and stood in front of him. My eyes widened in slight surprise; I was average in height yet still I towered a good almost foot above him, though he didn't seem bothered as he stood there with that goofy smile on his face.
"I'm honestly a bit surprised.. I expected the champ to be.. I don't know.. Hmm.. More built I guess." Was that the hint of a challenge I heard in his voice? No, it definitely couldn't be. I had to have been hearing things from the slight exhaustion that was painting my brain.
"Built?" I said, my eyebrow cocking as I looked down at my body. I did kind of look like a string bean but to me it was always more about skill rather than just brute force. Most of my opponents had learned that too, the hard way.
"Yeah! Built. You know, muscle covered.. You hardly look like you could lift any of your opponents." A little giggle ran from his lips and my eyes quickly narrowed as a soft smirk ran over my lips. Who did this little brat think he was? Who came into a champs gym and just instantly started to talk trash?
"Uh.. huh.. Well I assure you, I can definitely pick my opponents up. Normally slams are how I start most of my matches." I was trying my best to hide my disdain but I could feel it leaking out like water dripping from a corroded pipe.
"Oh trust me I know. I saw how you slammed your last opponent around though.. it seemed pretty sloppy honestly. I'm guessing most of the people in this gym are rookies?" I could see his enthusiastic smile slowly exchange itself for a nasty little smirk and by now I was meeting his facial expression in kind.
"Do you think you could do any better?" By now all pleasantries had evaporated from my voice. "You seem a little short for wrestling. Actually.. are you even old enough to do this stuff? You know this gym is only 21 and up right?" My voice was soft and sensual, a taunting tone that was clearly eliciting a challenge.
"Pfft.. Course I am. I just turned 21 not too long ago. I honestly know I could do better, that's why I came here." I could hear all that confidence dripping from his every word which began to stoke some fires in me, sending light amounts of lust through my gaze.
"You know I don't just take on every newcomer that struts in through the door." I gave him an out.
"If you're scared why don't you just say that then." He obviously didn't take it.
"I'm not, just waiting for you to throw down the challenge." I snickered softly, biting my bottom lip as I stared at him through eyes that beamed confidence; I didn't get to where I was by being scared. My hands sat on my hips with my legs just barely spread. I looked as big as a bear and he looked like a cowering rat.
"Fine. I want to wrestle you." I could see the slight tinge of red appearing over his cheeks as he broke from my gaze and found a particularly interesting spot on the floor to observe.
"Are you sure? You know I just ran right? You sure you don't mind wrestling while I'm covered in sweat?" My voice at this point was fluttering around his head, poking at his confidence and making him regret this whole exchange; I could see it in the slight quiver of his bottom lip and the way his fingers tugged and fumbled at his shorts. The beautiful part though, he was already in my trap. He had to either plow forward or surrender his dignity. There was one thing a fool could never do, admit that they were wrong.
"I-I'm sure." His voice faltered, sounding like a whisper being swept up by the wind.
"What was that? I couldn't hear you. I asked if you're sure." I could hear him plain as day, but a lion loved to play with it's food.
"I'm sure! Fuck. Just go get in the ring damnit." His voice dripped desperation which made my tongue trace my soft lips in a semi circle.
"Perfect! Honestly I've been needing some practice. Let me go find an announcer and a ref. If you want feel free to go get in something comfy and slide into the ring! Oh! I haven't even asked your name. I'm Gage, and you are?" It must've caused him whiplash, the switch from my nasty dominant attitude to a sweet almost welcoming tone. I could see the slight surprise blossom behind his glimmering eyes as he struggled to say something.
"E-Eric." By the time the name had slipped from his lips I had turned and made my way in the opposite direction. I waved over my shoulder, acknowledging him as I went off to get things ready.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I could feel the frayed edge of the rope run along my smooth legs as it bit lightly into the flesh and gave just the hint of some pain to go along with the excitement coursing my body. My fingers clung to the middle rope, curling around then wire as I slid into the ring. I spent an agonizingly long time bent over the middle rope, feeling it rub up between my legs like a caterpillar wiggling between my legs. My member was already beginning to harden as little darkened spots of excitement glistened over the soft piece of red spandex that clung to my sex like a set of second skin. My foot shimmied across the canvas as I finally slipped off the rope and stood at my full height. The canvas felt rough and dirty, like it had never been cleaned of the sweat and grime and blood that had once been dripped onto it.
The announcers voice boomed behind me, drawing a small crowd away from their workout machines as they looked on quizzically and wandered towards the ring. This wasn't some scheduled match so I wasn't expecting a roaring crowd, though a few onlookers was never a bad thing.
