Anna stretched out in her bed as the morning light came through the window. She glanced over and found Liam's vacant pillow and wondered how long ago he got out of bed. There truly was something amazing about a bed in the morning when you didn't need to rush to get out of it. Her calendar was clear, for the most part, with the day of vacation she had decided to take. The sound of footsteps drew her attention toward the door and she watched with a smile as Liam strode in carrying a cup of coffee.
"Ahh, glad to see you're awake, love!" he said with a grin. "I brought you some coffee before I head out. I've gotta run in to the office today for some meetings so I probably won't be back until about four."
"Oh, really?" she pouted. "I thought you'd be around today?"
"Yeah, last minute emergency, sorry. What's on your agenda today?"
She paused and thought, "Mmm.. I'll probably swing through the mall and take a look at a few shops. James is coming over as usual at noon for my workout."
"Ahh, right.. anything after that?"
"Well," she said with a mischevious smile, "If you're not going to be home.. maybe I'll need to ask him for some post-workout care!"
"Ha-ha-ha," he said in mock laughter, but the smile on his face reached his eyes. "Do I need to call before I get home to make sure you're done?"
"Mmm, I think things should be done by then, but maybe.. just in case!" She took a sip of her coffee and sighed. "Thanks so much, love. Before you go can I have a kiss?!"
Liam leaned in and kissed her deeply. "Alright, babe. I'll see you later tonight, I gotta get going or I'm going to be late."
"See you later!" she called after him as he exited the room. A few minutes later she finally found the strength to break free from the clutches of the bed and dug through her dresser to get dressed for the day ahead.
Anna and Liam had been married for nearly 10 years. Their relationship had never been better. They cared deeply for each other, rarely fought, and worked hard to ensure each other were comfortable and had what they needed. Their sex life was adventurous, over the last few years of their marriage really branching out in to new unexplored territory. BDSM, anal play, voyeurism, and more sex toys than were entirely necessary. Each of them had their kinks, some that they were slowly becoming more comfortable sharing with each other as they explored further in to fantasies, others that were newly developing as they found enjoyment in the boundaries that were being pushed. The years together established the foundation of trust and comfort necessary to explore these things with open communication. It's one of the benefits of a great marriage.
Anna grabbed her keys and purse off the entry table and paused to look at herself in the mirror. She was beautiful, long dark hair flowed down past her shoulders accented by highlights of blonde. She was wearing a flowing bright blue sun dress that reminded her of a summer day. Anna adjusted the thin shoulder straps to give her cleavage a slightly more modest look and gave a self-approving smile. Today was going to be a good day.
The mall was always a good way to burn some time. She wasn't looking for anything in particular, it was just nice to wander through the shops and have no other priorities to take care of. A few different sun dresses caught her eye but nothing stood out enough that she felt the need to purchase it right then. As the morning slipped away Anna took a break from the shops and found a table at a patio in the sun at one of the restaurants. Her mind wandered while she relaxed and enjoyed a crisp mimosa, the heat of the morning sun warming her face. Plans for the remainder of her day pieced together as she contemplated what would make this Friday perfect. After finishing her drink and paying her bill she stopped by the salon where she would sometimes go for a brazillian to spur-of-the-moment see if they would have an opening to fit her in.
As luck would have it, they did. It wasn't her usual lady who did it, but the new woman was friendly enough and worked fast. As she lay down on the table with her legs spread, hot wax being spread on her intimate area, she pictured Liam's look on surprise when he would see it later that night. While the process certainly isn't sexy, she did feel sexier afterward walking around and knowing what was, or rather wasn't, hiding beneath her panties.
With the wax finished, and the first part of her newly formed evening plan completed, Anna looked at her phone she saw it was nearly 11 so she decided to head back home to get ready for her workout session.
-----------------
Anna's phone buzzed on the dresser. A message from James - she opened it to see what he said.
J - 'Hey - be there in about 5 minutes!'
She shot back a quick response 'Looking forward to it as always!'
Anna stood in front of her chest of drawers, wearing nothing but her little g-string panties, looking for a pair of yoga pants but couldn't find any. 'Maybe they are in the wash..' she thought to herself. She noticed her athletic skirt and pulled it out. 'No... this is too much' she thought, then decided to try them on anyway. It was short, ending near her mid-thighs, but she did look really cute in them. She turned her back toward the mirror and looked over her shoulder to see how it covered her ass. It did, not by much though. She did a squat as she watched herself in the mirror and watched the skirt ride up her waist until the thin strap of her thong running up her ass began to show. There was a part of her that got a little turned on thinking about actually wearing this but she couldn't bring herself to follow through.
Anna grabbed her phone and walked down the hall to the washing room. "Thank goodness.." she said with a slight sigh of relief as she found a clean pair of her yoga pants in the dryer. She let her skirt drop to the floor around her ankles before stepping in to her yoga pants, sliding them up her legs and over her ass. No sooner had she finished getting dressed the doorbell rang. She hurried up to the door and opened it to find James standing outside. He beamed at her, his messy dark hair falling down to his shoulders.
"James!! Come in!" He stepped inside and wrapped her in a hug, as usual.
"Anna! Are you ready? We're going to go hard today!"
"I think so.. don't break me though. I was sore all weekend last time!"
"Ahh, you'll be fine. Let's go." James lead the way through the house toward the workout room. "We'll start with some weighted squats, then likely move toward some body weight and resistance band training."
Anna followed his lead as he lead the way toward the yoga mat in a smaller clearing of the room. "Alright, let's start with some warmups. Do 15 jumping jacks, 15 air squats, and 10 pushups. I'll let you rest for a minute and then we'll do it twice more."
Anna began the warmup routine, appreciating the cool breeze from the fan in the corner of the room as she soon felt sweat beginning to accumulate on her body.
"Any plans this weekend?" James asked as he watched her beginning the third rotation of jumping jacks.
"No," she responded, working to keep her breathing normal, "finally a free weekend without plans. I think Liam and I will just end up tanning outside, reading books, and relaxing.."
"Sounds lovely," he said, "good. That's 15, now squats."
She focused on keeping her back straight as she squatted down and squeezing her butt as she straightened back up. It felt good to feel the muscles in her legs and hips loosening as she warmed up. "How about you?"
"Ahh, I'll probably be in the area, a few of my friends are getting together to do some bar hopping." He waited as she finished, "good work. Let's go get the heavy lifting done - I'll rack the weight for you."
They walked over to the squat rack and Anna waited as James put 25lbs on each side. She positioned herself under the barbell, feeling the cold steel against her skin as she pushed off. She took a step back and widened her stance, then squatted low, feeling her muscles tighten. "Very good, nice form," his voice said from behind her, "we'll do 8 of these then add a little more weight." She couldn't help but peak at him in the mirror now and then, noticing the way his eyes watched her ass as she got low. It added a little fun to the pain that leg days always caused.
Their workout lasted about 45 minutes as they ran through a number of exercises. They finished up the squats with her lifting 155 for 5 reps which she felt proud of, then moved on to some weighted hip thrusts. After that he had her do some hip abductors and adductors with the clever use of some resistance bands that he held for her. If she thought it was fun to catch him peaking at her in the mirror during her squats, then having him kneeling in front of her as she strained to open and close her legs was something else entirely. James, as always, remained professional, though friendly and perhaps somewhat flirtatious. The workout was brutal, and by the end she was breathing heavily and dripping in sweat.
"Seriously, great work today Anna!" he said, smiling at her as she lay back on her yoga mat to catch her breath. "Let's just do some cool-down stretches and then I'll let you get back to your early weekend." She nodded, reaching for her water bottle and bringing the refreshing cold liquid to her lips.
"That," she said, "sucked." They went through some standard stretches, starting with reaching for her toes, then moving in to a butterfly stretch, holding each for 30 seconds. As she lay on her back and manuevered in to her next stretch, she bent her right leg to cross it over her body and James moved closer to assist. He placed one hand on her knee and the other and the side of her ass as he helped add pressure for the stretch. "Next session is still good for Monday?" she asked.
