Emma stepped into the gym for a midday workout session. She'd been going to the gym more recently as winter started creeping up on the year. Jogging in the streets wasn't worth the effort when she could get the same workout in a temperature-controlled room.
At this time of day, the gym was mostly empty. The morning rush had funnelled out and anyone who went after work wouldn't come by for a few hours more. Emma could count on one hand the number of people in the gym currently. That worked perfectly for Emma, it could be a hassle trying to get her workout in when the gym was crowded, between waiting for machines to be free and dealing with small talk, she hardly got anything done in her allotted hour.
She scanned the room for a quiet spot to start her workout, out of the way of everyone else. Spotting a nice little area in the corner, Emma walked over and placed her bag down. She took off her jacket and folded it nicely onto the bench that sat her bag, looking between the treadmill or the exercise mat to decide if she should do some advanced stretches or loosen up by jogging.
As she was making that decision, a firm hand spanked directly into her right buttocks. An open palm dug into her ass and comfortably groped away at her with no regard whatsoever. A surge of heat spread across Emma's cheeks, her face turning a fiery shade of red.
"Epp!" Emma squealed as she twisted to turn, locking onto the figure responsible for this act. The sudden pang of panic washed over her as she reacted to the blatant groping, which quickly dispersed the moment she saw who the hand belonged to.
"Hey there, Ems!" The voice responsible said in a cheery, upbeat tone. "Fancy meeting you here."
"Oh?" Emma said, a smile forming on her face before her brain even caught on to what was happening. "Hey, there Michael." She chuckled her remaining nerves out, no longer even remembering what she was so worried about before. "What are you doing in this gym?"
Michael was Emma's roommate for the last year and a half. More than that, Michael was Emma's best friend. Emma knew this man well, she trusted him, and he knew her just as well. However, Emma knew that Michael was a serious introvert. She never would've expected to run into him out in public, much less at the gym.
"Ehh," Michael shrugged, his hand stiff and firmly held onto Emma's ass. "I always come here after work. It's the only time I can get stuff done. Too many people otherwise."
"Nice. I never noticed that," Emma smiled. She was happy to run into him. Not only did she enjoy spending time with friends, but she always had fun with Michael. "We should've come here together if that was the case. I mean, what are the chances I run into my own roommate out in the wild world?"
"Out in the wild?" Michael asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You know what I mean," Emma giggled. "We never see each other outside of the house," Michael opened his mouth to correct her but Emma quickly clarified. "Oh sure, we do the occasional shopping trip. But when was the last time we actually went into the city or something?"
"Didn't we go to the library?" Michael asked, more of a question to himself as he tried to recall the moment. "Last month? Wait, no. That was three months ago."
"Exactly," Emma laughed. Michael had taken her to the library a few months ago for no reason in particular. It was a rare event when the boy had an interest in leaving the house and so Emma had to accompany him on the momentous occasion. The day ended up being an entire adventure and a half. "So, how's work? How was your day in general?"
Michael sighed tiredly. All the response he needed to voice his dislike of work. "Better," Michael eventually admitted. He squeezed Emma's ass to emphasise exactly what was making his day better.
"Better now that your hand is on my ass?" Emma chuckled, proud of herself for making Michael's day just a little better.
Emma always felt good when she made Michael feel good. Friends are supposed to help friends feel good, she knew that. Emma had no problem if Michael needed to fondle and grope her to cheer up. She welcomed it, it made her happy to make him happy. As Michael liked to say, that's just what friends do.
"It is a juicy and fuckable ass?" Michael agreed, his hand rubbing back and forth along Emma's backside.
"Ever the charmer," Emma giggled. "Well, I'm glad I can help."
"And how was your day?" Michael asked, his eyes trailing down to follow his hand as it greedily explored Emma's booty.
"My day?" Emma asked casually. "My day was fine. Didn't do much. Cleaned the house, and responded to some emails. Had a phone call with my boyfriend and-"
Her voice cut off with a sharp moan as Michael dug his hands and found their way into Emma's yoga shorts. Two fingers pressed right into her crotch as his casual groping turned into something a little more invasive.
"And?" Michael asked with a smile. He continued to work his way into her pants. His fingers rubbed across Emma's pussy, with only the thin fabric of her underwear preventing him from properly finger fucking her.
"Oh, your hand..." Emma moaned, squeezing her legs together as she felt the strong, warm hand continue to rub into her. "It's kinda... Digging into me.
"Oh, sorry," Michael said, not slowing down in the slightest. "Is it too distracting for you?"
"What?" Emma moaned as she forgot what she was saying. "No, it's not... Distracting."
She let out another soft moan as her hips started to match the pace of Michael's fingers. Emma's body trembled with pleasure as he skilfully worked his hand into her yoga pants. The thrill of doing something in such a public place didn't even register to Emma, she was so caught up in the sensations her body felt, she'd all but forgotten where she was. Thankfully the section of the gym was empty and anyone who could've seen them was too caught up in their own workouts to notice.
"Your day, Emma?" Michael said with an authoritative smirk. "You were saying?"
"What what I?..." Emma muttered, a little confused before shaking her head. "Oh... right...and then I caught up with some of my gals in the city. Now I'm here... About to get in my workout.... With you..."
