*** Authors Note: Part 3 obviously picks up where Part 2 left off. While I make the suggestion to read from the beginning, a couple of refresher notes:
Characters previously introduced:
Phil - Main protagonist. Wealthy 40-something white male who reshaped his entire life following a workplace accident. Has had a lifelong tendency to act rather impulsively, sometimes with mixed results.
Stacy - Phil's physical therapist and friend.
Karen - Stacy's roommate.
Paul - Phil's live-in personal assistant. A minor character at most.
Phil, Stacy and Karen had just spent a day getting to know each other on the local nude beach.
If you're looking for sex, this is the section for you. I debated leaving this section without additional background or context as the whole "fuck story" concept just isn't quite my style but, in the end, this is where the breaks most naturally happened. Big changes coming in Part 4!
-----------------
It was two days before I saw or heard from Stacy again, at our first of three workouts that week. She looked good, she worked me out well, it was a pretty typical day. I admit that I was beginning to have issues separating our professional and personal lives (really, I just wanted to be around her, naked, all the time) but it was obvious that she did not have those same issues with separation.
The day after we were off and I spent it doing random errands and exploring. More and more I was thinking that I needed to start some sort of business as I was really getting bored. I wasn't upset with myself for having sold off all of my previous business interests, more just was coming to terms with the fact that it wouldn't be a prudent long term decision to having nothing to occupy my mind and time. I spent a couple of hours at the beach that day but did not see Stacy or Karen there at all. Still, it was nice to get out in the sun, to feel it beat down on my skin, to soak in its magical rays.
The next morning I woke up a little bit earlier than normal, stirred by a sound I was unaccustomed to at that point in my life: water running in my shower. I was a bit groggy as I walked into the bathroom, wearing my typical Florida sleep attire of nothing and finding the silhouette of a figure showing behind the semi-foggy glass door.
"Good morning, Stacy," I said out loud, though not necessarily directly to her, and went to take a leak.
"Damnit, I am so sorry."
I turned over my shoulder to see her hanging halfway out of the shower.
"I was trying to be quiet so I wouldn't wake you up, Phil. Really sorry about that."
"Nah, it was time to get up anyhow."
The water stopped and after a moment or two she stepped out.
"I didn't even have a towel, so much for my awesome plan."
I grabbed a fresh one and handed it to her.
"I don't know," I said, eyeing her up and down, "I don't think I mind a wake-up call like this."
"Yeah, I bet you don't," she responded with a wink.
I went to the sink to wash my face a little. I rarely showered before my morning workouts, knowing that I would soon be sweaty and needing to shower again. Stacy dried off and hung up her towel before stepping up to the side of me and leaning herself onto my back shoulder. We locked eyes in the mirror and she whispered in my ear.
"You know, we haven't had any more of that 'non-professional' time since our one go at it. Why is that?"
I was surprised to hear her bring it up. I figured she didn't want to and that is why we hadn't. Being how in control she was in all other aspects of our activities I never pressed the matter. My thought process was if she wanted to be with me she would. I turned around and pulled her into me and kissed her.
"Any time you want to be with me, I'm ready. I just don't want to push you."
She held me tightly and returned my kiss.
"Thank you. I can appreciate that too. After my divorce and getting my business going I know I was looking to take things at my own pace, even with all of that talk I gave you last time about being okay with keeping things casual. Anyhow, I know now that I am ready and can also say that sometimes a girl needs a little push to get things going... even me."
I found my hands drifting down to her ass as we kissed a little bit. Stacy moaned a little as I worked each cheek in my palms before pushing herself out of my arms and away from me.
"Cool it, mister. I was still very serious about your workouts coming first. Get yourself dressed and let's go."
Stacy reached down and gave my budding erection a couple of gentle squeezes, enough to remind it of the simple pleasures of a woman's touch and enough to make me very sad she was making me quit what had been turning out to be a great morning otherwise. Instead, we got dressed and went up to the gym.
My workout sucked.
My head and heart just weren't into it. It had been months since I had last had sex, incidentally with Stacy. It had been weeks since I had even masturbated. I was backed up and looking for release. Stacy wasn't helping me either. She wasn't any more overtly sexual that day than any other day, our standard flirting and touching wasn't any more direct or obvious. Just her presence sucked.
Our workout ended and Stacy pretty much immediately took off, saying she was going to jog back home (the reason she needed to shower at my place in the morning) and relax the rest of the day. I bid her farewell and went to take a shower myself.
Sitting in my kitchen and eating a light lunch, I told myself enough was enough.
IMPULSE: I grabbed my bike and headed out the door. I was somewhat upset with myself for not having a car at that exact moment but the bike would have to do. Besides, it wasn't that long of a ride. Sure, I had to use the GPS on my phone. Sure, it took me 14 minutes instead of 6. But these are first world problems.
I stashed my bike and went to the front door.
RESULT: Stacy answered, her hair was wet and she was wearing something similar to the last time that I had seen her at home, a loose, thin cotton T and a flowing wrap fashioned as a skirt of sorts. Without makeup, but obviously refreshed, she looked beautiful.
"Phil! Hey! What are you doing here?"
The words had barely made it out of her mouth before I stepped through the doorway and into her. There wasn't much more she could say as my mouth was immediately on top of hers. She didn't resist me, rather wrapped her arms around me and kissed me back with a sigh and submissive whimper.
We took our time, somewhat surprisingly. It wasn't like that first time, fast and desperate. We savored every bit of the time and one another. We had made our way to her bedroom, shedding our clothing along the way and creating a little evidence trail in our wake. Hitting the bed, our warm, nude skin pressed against each other as we continued kissing and exploring one another with all of our senses.
