I’d been coming to the gym almost daily for just over six months, and I could tell the difference. However, to meet me, I don’t look like the gym-rat type. I have a slight paunch on my belly, along with a body that doesn’t scream muscular. I’d made a few casual friends but no one I’d entrust anything important to.
Nevertheless, I was here late at night due to obligations during the day, and hadn’t seen anyone I knew. It’s not like I joined to find friends, but it is easier to endure the pain when you see someone struggling as much as you.
I’d done my half-hour on the treadmill and was making the rounds on the upper body machines when she walked by, and I couldn’t help notice her leggings dove in between the cheeks of her ass. It looked uncomfortable, and it left almost nothing to the imagination. When she bent over to set up the bench press machine, they might as well have been painted on revealing every nook and crevice.
I knew it wasn’t for my benefit, she was obviously trolling for a stud. Besides, she was as ripped as they were, and way out of my league, but that didn’t stop her actions from giving me a boner.
My next machine was the lateral pull-down, which makes you stretch up to reach the handles, even though I’m six feet, two inches tall. However, it must have exposed my raging hard-on since a young man working on the machine beside me softly said, “I’m glad I’m not the only one she does that to."
It was weird, and I sat down quickly, but couldn’t let go of the handles without the weights crashing down which would make everyone look, so I just tried crossing my legs, making him chuckle.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to freak you out. You’re good now, you can’t tell now that you’re sitting down,” he told me with a smile, adding, “Just thought you’d like to know.”
“Thanks, I knew but I didn’t realize it was obvious. I appreciate being told,” I replied, adding, “It’s been too long, and damn.” Nodding toward the trollop, making him chuckle again.
“My friends call me Billy, I don’t think I’ve seen you before did you just join?” He said.
“Most of mine call me Rob, and no, I’m usually here in the morning. I joined a few months ago,” I replied, adding, “I only look like I’ve never seen a gym.”
“I didn’t mean that. You look rather fit for a man your age, Rob,” he replied.
My turn to start chuckling. “So, now I’m old as well,” I teased.
“No, I’m sorry I meant you look good, I...” was all he got out.
I interrupted him saying, “I’m just jerking your chain, Billy, and thanks, now if I can just dislodge this basketball, I’ve swallowed I’ll be good.”
Billy was laughing as he told me I was funny. I finished my third set and looked around to see who was looking as I let the weights all the way down, knowing I’d be stretched again before letting it down.
“It is impressive though,” Billy mused. As I let the weights down and looked toward Billy, he nodded in the direction of my crotch.
“Oh, thanks,” I said before heading to the triceps pushdown machine; the last in my circuit. I did my three sets of ten while mulling what Billy had said, and enjoyed the boost to my ego. A fellow male actually thought my manhood was impressive. Now, if only there was a female who thought so as well, I thought. I wiped down the machine and headed to where the recumbent bikes were, to do my last half-hour of cardio before calling it a night.
I was pleased to see Billy was already on one of the bikes when I got there, “Seems we have a similar routine, Rob,” he said as I sat down on the next open bike.
“Yeah, but I need it more than you do,” I joked as I started my ride.
We chatted as we peddled away; I didn’t even put my headphones on like I normally do when riding, enjoying the conversation. I would guess Billy was maybe in his mid to late thirties, but he was quite ripped. The young bucks in the gym had nothing on him.
“You’ve evidently been coming to the gym for a long time,” I commented.
“Thanks, I try to keep in shape, I’ll be turning forty soon, scary times,” he replied.
“Well, I can tell you its better in hindsight, than it is in foresight,” I joked.
“Good to know,” Billy replied.
He finished about ten minutes before my time was up, and told me he hoped our paths crossed again soon, after wiping down his bike.
He was headed to the locker room when I replied, “Me too,” and he turned and nodded, before continuing on. I thought to myself, his ass is as nice as hers, in his short shorts, so taut; or maybe I was just that horny. When my time was up, I hurriedly wiped the bike down, anxious to get to the locker room in hopes he was still there.
