Alex finished his workout in the lap pool and climbed onto the decking. The water glistened as it dripped from his tightly muscled, mocha colored body. Now twenty-five, he had achieved in muscular definition an incredible physique, one which most guys would never attain. At six foot two and one hundred eighty-five pounds, Alex was lean, but very, very tightly muscled. His upper body was very broad at the shoulders, and his biceps were especially well developed. His thick neck left no doubt that he was a strong athlete, and as one scanned the rest of his torso, his thickly muscled and carved chest, his abdominal definition, and his very thin waist reflected beautifully taut and formed muscle tissue. His lean, but tight thighs and calf muscles mirrored the attention that Alex had paid to the rest of his body.
He had disciplined himself over the years by hitting the gym six days a week, following a strict workout and dietary regime. Now, his almost daily visits to the gym not only helped him to maintain this appearance but they also offered him a chance to unwind, to get rid of the stresses that had built up during the day at his job as a CPA in a high powered accounting firm in downtown Boston.
In addition to his great physique, Alex had also been blessed with incredibly good looks by his parents. His face was finely chiseled with thin lips, high cheekbones, and a perfectly constructed nose, a blend of features that made him a remarkably handsome black man. Over the past several years, he had allowed his hair to grow several inches, and he now sported thick, shiny black dreads that complemented his light to medium brown skin color. Most of the women in his office thought that his hair, his face, and his incredible body made him the cutest and hottest stud around.
The expensively tailored business suits he wore couldn't cover up his remarkable physique. In addition, the women loved the eye candy he provided them with on a daily basis. He was frequently the topic of conversation among them; and racial lines notwithstanding, most of them would happily let him have his way with them. Alex sensed that but just wasn't the type of guy to jump from bed to bed. In fact, he had deliberately not dated anyone in the office to avoid any problems that that might cause. Maybe that's what made him so intensely attractive to the females at the accounting firm.
At the moment, Alex had no love interest in his life, and that was a good thing. With tax season just around the corner, his time was going to be very limited indeed. Because of appearance and his down to earth manner, Alex had never had trouble connecting with the most beautiful of women, both white and black. What he found with most women he started dating, and what he did not like, was that most of them were interested in a long-term relationship. Alex couldn't do that just yet he thought. He would not be ready to settle down with one person for at least several more years. In the meantime, he tried to date outside of the office, and he tried to let his dates know up front that he was not looking for a long-term relationship, at least for the moment.
As he walked toward the locker room from the pool, Alex looked around and hoped that the Caribbean resort he would be going to tomorrow with about thirty of his co-workers would offer similarly excellent workout facilities. He thought that usually resorts did, but knew that it was not always the case. In any event, Alex had been selected because of his performance over the past year to enjoy a combination training and vacation in St. Marteen with a number of other high performers from the firm. They would be spending eight days and seven nights learning a little, and relaxing a lot, all at the firm's expense.
Being selected for the trip was an honor in the company, and he knew that. He had even been offered the chance to bring a spouse, or in his case a friend, along for only the cost of the airfare. He declined that offer. But, he knew that some of his co-workers had opted take the firm up on the offer. He almost did not want to go, but knew that would be a stupid move if he hoped to move ahead any time soon.
Arriving at the airport at five a.m. was no small hassle for Alex and the other members of his group. But he was pleasantly surprised to find that many of the other chosen ones were people he knew and liked. And, he noted that there were a good number of people who came along without a spouse or friend, so mingling would be easier for everyone. He also noted that about twenty members of their party were younger employees of the firm, and he thought that was a good omen as well. On the flight down, Alex made sure he sat next to a partner of the firm, trying to score as many points as he could. His easygoing manner made him very approachable, and he found he could talk comfortably with people his own age, or much older.
Arriving on the island around mid-morning, Alex and the others found their accommodations to be absolutely fantastic. Each of them had villas that were tastefully designed and beautifully decorated while affording the occupants private terraces from which to enjoy the incredible views of the ocean waters. Alex's villa was sandwiched between those of two other bright and young high achievers in the firm. Courtney Lane, a very attractive single woman who was about Alex's age was on one side. Alex had worked with Courtney several times over the past three years, and while he liked her, she just was not his type. She had come onto him more than once, and had no shame about trying again and again, even after his polite rejections. Nevertheless, she was fun to be with and he knew she'd party with the best of them in the next week.
On his other side were Julie Mathis and her husband, Mike. Julie was someone whom Alex had only worked with briefly a couple of times. She was a recent CPA, really bright, and incredibly beautiful in Alex's opinion. Like Courtney, Julie was a blond. But she possessed an absolutely beautiful face, and as nearly a perfect body as Alex had ever seen before. Julie was plain and simply a stunningly beautiful woman, with a perfect face, fantastic breasts, a great ass from what Alex could tell. When Alex got a look at her husband, he was surprised to find that while Mike was a good looking guy, Julie clearly could have done much better if she had wanted to.
Julie was one of the few women Alex had met at the firm over the past four years who caused a stirring in his loins. She was just so damn beautiful that he thought many times to himself that it was a shame that she was married. On the couple of occasions he had worked with Julie, Alex tried his best not to betray his total infatuation with her, or his complete disappointment that she was married. Working with her was both pain and pleasure. He wanted to come onto her in the worst way, but she was married. And yet, even though he knew he had to suppress his excitement about being around her, he still loved working with her, secretly stealing glances at her body, smelling her fragrances. He did a good job of hiding his feelings because Julie had no idea that the extremely hot young man she was working with felt the way he did.
For her part, the first time she set eyes on Alex, Julie was totally taken aback with how very handsome he was. Normally, Julie had no problem working with good looking guys because she was completely used to having them come onto her, even after she got married and wore the large rock her husband had given her. But Alex was different. Although he was Afro-American, he was clearly one of the most physically handsome men she had ever met. From his exceptionally cute face, his not quite shaggy hair, to his remarkably formed physique, Julie found that she had butterflies in her stomach when she was near him. On top of what he looked like, she also found his personal manner to be genuine and charming.
On the two occasions she worked with Alex, Julie found it hard to concentrate. She found herself trying to sneak glances at him when he was not looking. She loved the look of this young black stud, and she found herself fantasizing about what he looked like naked, without his expensive suit, shirt and tie on. However, she would never admit to the other women in the firm who lusted after him, that she too felt her vagina moisten in his presence. Secretly, she was a little puzzled and slightly put off that he seemed not to show even the slightest interest in her. He made no effort to even attempt to flirt.
Today when she saw that he was in the villa next to her, Julie felt a fresh wave of excitement wash through her body, and her abdomen. She knew that she would soon be able to feast her eyes on his body in a swimsuit. She couldn't wait to have her eyes confirm for her what her mind had imagined so many times before. Julie knew that her thoughts were improper for a married woman, but she reasoned that any normal woman would be turned on in the presence of any guy who looked the way Alex did.
Afternoon activities included a half hour meeting for all of the firm's party. An itinerary for the coming three days was reviewed. This included a listing of all "work related lectures", which everyone had to attend. The final five days were totally free time for all to enjoy the island and all it had to offer. Following the meeting, the group divided itself into golfers, those who wanted to play volleyball, or those who just planned to sit around the oceanside bars and drink rum concoctions and relax.
Mike Mathis left Julie with the volleyball group as he joined some of the firm's golfers, including Alex, for an afternoon of golf. As Julie and Mike said goodbye, she felt a thrill tingle through her body as Alex walked by wearing a loose white cotton pullover with its sleeves cut off at the shoulders, revealing beautifully thick biceps; and through the slit of the pullover, she caught a quick glimpse of his incredibly defined right pec. She felt her heart leap as she found herself staring at Alex's body, which already was way more defined and sexy that she had imagined. She knew she had to put these thoughts to the side. However, as she watched Mike and Alex walk toward waiting golf carts, she found herself concentrating on Alex's backside. His broad shoulders and defined triceps were immediately apparent. But now Julie noted his firm buttocks outlined under the loose fitting plaid shorts he wore. And, while she could not really make out Alex's thighs, she noted his beautifully developed calf muscles. She wondered if he had even noticed her as he walked by.
