This is the third chapter following "Unlikely Training Couple Ch. 02" It's recommended that you read the first two chapters before reading this chapter but it's not necessary.
Back to training with Wes and Ashley. Over the last few months, I've noticed that the two of them have gotten fairly chummy. It's not a problem or is it unexpected since they have been working out during the week and I have just been joining them on the weekends? With Rachel deciding to relocate with her family to a different state, I'm back to my regular training schedule of five days a week.
The first week back I was getting used to the increased volume but by week two, I was getting more sore than usual. Wes, noticing my wince inquired as to what was going on. When I reported my symptoms he says, "You should have Ashley give you a directed massage."
"Hold on, what?" I said.
"Ashley is getting her massage license but until she is done training she only works on people she knows and they have to direct her."
By then Ashley had arrived and I asked, "How did I not know you were doing this?"
"To be fair my friend, you have been gone a lot and when you're here you've seemed a little preoccupied," said Ashley.
"That's fair, but now I'm super interested in what you are doing and I don't understand the directed part."
"Ok," Ashley begins, "You've had massages before right?"
"Yes of course."
"Then you know that a normal massage therapist has a routine and in the course of that routine they find issues and work on them right?"
I nod in agreement.
"Well, I'm good with my hands but I lack the experience to really know what's going on under the surface so to get practice, I do free massages to a very small group of friends and they tell me what they need, and the exact location so I can work it out."
"Oh, that sounds delightful! Have you done this Wes?"
"I have," he responds, "and she does a great job!"
"Well, then when can you get me in?"
"I'm available anytime tomorrow morning before 11 when I have another client booked."
"Done! I will see you at 10."
The rest of the training went fine and I better understood why those two seemed closer. Ashley had been rubbing Wes's naked body and who knows how far that had gone. For a brief moment, I felt a little jealous and then remembered the sexcapades I had been enjoying with Rachel. We said our goodbyes and since tomorrow was a rest day I could sleep in, get the girls off to school and get my first directed massage.
I arrived at Ashley's a little early and she had a portable massage table set up and ready to go. She directed me to get undressed and slide under the sheet while she left the room. Before leaving I asked the normal question, face up or face down.
"Whichever you prefer. Remember you will be directing this and I just follow your wishes."
"I like the sound of that!"
It wasn't what she said but how she said it. That response was not clinical like you expect in a setting like this, it was more playful.
I quickly disrobed and slid under the sheet, not because I was worried about Ashley seeing me naked. Rachel took care of my body confidence issues, it was because I was eager to get started. Ashley arrived with some warm towels to lay on top of me as she started rubbing my feet.
"Ok my friend, here's how this goes. I will start at your feet, work on each leg and then move up to your shoulders. If at any time you notice something in a region I'm working on you can direct me to focus both on the geographical area and the pressure."
"Got it. So it's like a game of; you're getting warmer vs you're getting colder."
"I guess it could work that way, but I'm sure we will figure it out."
"Do we need a safe word?" I asked with a devious smile.
"Oh that's funny," she said laughing, "You're in quite the feisty mood today."
With that, I relaxed on my back and let her get to work. She was doing a very good job for her experience level and I complimented her as she moved up to my quads.
"Thanks for that. You still have one of the most well-proportioned bodies that I have ever seen."
"Well, I could say the same thing about you! Your physique has come along nicely since you've started training with us."
"You know that was part of the plan. Train like the people you want to look like."
"That's sweet. You know I always thought if you were an inch taller and my age we could pass for twins."
"Oh Leanna, you're so sweet. You look so young I think we could pass for twins now."
As she continued to move from my thighs up to my shoulders I hadn't had any problem areas to focus on. Then a naughty idea hit me.
"So, during a normal massage, the pectoral area on females is always avoided but those muscles need to be worked on ladies too right?"
"They do, but the rules required for licensed massage therapists prohibit certain areas and of course, proper draping is an issue."
"But you're not licensed yet right?"
