The Gym Master

EPISODE THREE

TITLE: POOL FOREPLAY (Part One)

Theme: The Gym Master

It was summertime! Arianna was out on a vacation in Hawaii with her best friend, Lorna. Arianna heeded the advice of her friend to make a quest list to be fulfilled on vacation and the third one Lorna wrote on the list was having wild sex with a hot guy amongst many other things. And ever since they got to the hotel booked by Lorna’s boyfriend, she has been on the look out for a hot guy to hook up her best friend. Lorna’s plan was to make her best friend enjoy her summer before she get back to being a busy career woman.

Arianna is the chief executive officer of her parent’s business and so she barely has time to have fun. All she does is spend her entire week buried in stack of paper works. At twenty five, Arianna doesn’t have a boyfriend. Although she had one few years ago but it ended on a sour note because she couldn’t commit herself into the relationship. The company has always been her first priority.

Lorna yawned as she stepped out of the bathroom. “Where are you going?” She asked her friend who had a towel in her hand and then she was wearing a bikini.

“Where else?”

“To the pool?” Lorna arched her brows.

“Of course!” Arianna replied with a shrug.

Lorna hastened her steps to get to her friend. “Wait a sec...” She rushed to the window and pulled at the curtain only to find out that everywhere was dark. “Oh my goodness! It is night time! How long was I asleep?”

“You slept for almost six hours. The time is 1:58 a.m.” Arianna replied.

Lorna eyes widened in shock. “I only wanted to take a nap...how on earth did I end up sleeping for six hours?!” She gasped out. “Did you drug me, Arianna?” She had slept off right after having a big buffet for dinner.

Arianna giggled. “I wish I did so you would be out for three days and that way I can sneak out to work on my laptop.”

“You dare not!” Lorna pointed a finger at her with a serious look on her face. “We are on vacation which mean no work! Try to live a life with the company in the picture.”

“I am trying, seriously...I am trying. I spent the whole time watching boo bitch. I enjoyed the movie.” Arianna commented as she wore a robe around her body.

“I told you that you would love it. But what’s with the midnight swim?” Lorna sat on the bed.

“I just need to cool off my head and then enjoy the feeling of water on my skin.” Arianna replied.

“Alright. I’ll just go back to sleeping.” Lorna yawned as she lay on the bed. “Don’t stay too long!” She called out as Arianna walked out of the room.

No one was in the pool when Arianna got to the area. It made her happy that she has the whole place to herself. Everyone seems to be asleep in the hotel since it was midnight. She had made a call earlier to the reception desk to make a special reservation for the pool at this time. The area was a bit dark exactly the same way she had wanted it.

Arianna kicked off her soft slide, she pulled off the robe over her head and carefully she set it at the side of the pool. The bikini she wore fitted her perfectly and it exposed more of her sculpted figure and dazzling complexion. She sat at the edge and put one leg into the pool and it sent shivers throughout her body. Her eyes surveyed the still water, as she remembered one of her wishes to buy a mansion with a pool when she was a little girl. Arianna enjoyed swimming a lot. As the CEO of one of the best textile companies in America and the only heiress of Mr Collins and Mrs Janet Smith, she has been able to fulfill almost all her girlie wishes. Arianna has a whole mansion with a private pool to herself.

“All the luxury in the world, I will get it.” Arianna said in a loud tone.

She set her clothes, cellphone, towel and slide together at one spot before stepping deeper into the pool. She went deeper until the water reached her waistline. All of a sudden, her eyes caught a glimpse of something floating on the water but it disappeared. She became scared when it appeared and disappeared in a fast pace again.

Immediately Arianna started back to the edge of the pool, terrified that something might devour her in the pool and no one would come to her rescue because she made a special reservation. But something grabbed her ankle tightly and Arianna screamed out in fear. She used her other leg to fight off whatever had grabbed her ankle. And all of a sudden a manly figure pushed his way up and clasped his hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming.

Arianna’s back was against a solid chest, knowing it was a man so she fought harder.

“Arianna,” the not so familiar voice whispered into her ears. “Relax, it’s me. Damon.” He turned her to face him.

Fear crossed her expression as she stared into his eyes. Her heartbeat raced three times higher. He just scared the hell out of her and he has the gut to let a smile play on his lips! She almost lost her breathe when he grabbed her legs! Arianna pushed him away and continued towards the edge so she would leave. What the hell is wrong with the hotel’s special reservation?! She pondered.

Damon. She didn’t know anything about this man except that she met him at the gym few days ago and he had helped her out with some exercises. Damon works at the hotel gym as a coach and part of the VVIP hotel package they paid for came with having a private coach. So Damon was assigned to her while Lorna got a female coach. She has only seen this guy just twice before now! So what gave him the impression that he could do such a thing with her? She wondered, certainly pissed at his gut.

“Arianna?” Damon called her but she didn’t stop. He knew he had startled her by what he meant as a playful trick.

Damon had just completed a swimming lap when he sensed the presence of someone. He couldn’t recognize the person too soon because the pool wasn’t bright. He had stayed under the water when he heard her saying a few words out so she wouldn’t changed her mind about swimming if she had seen him.

Arianna was surprised to see Damon and had froze almost immediately in fear after she heard his voice.

“Hey listen Arianna, I didn’t mean to startle you.” Damon pushed a hand through his wet hair after they both got out of the pool. Beads of water dropped over his sculpted and expanded chest. He stopped her from taking her robe but she jerked free.

“Don’t touch me.” Arianna breathed out heavily.

“Arianna—“

“What the hell is a gym master doing in a pool I reserved to have to myself? I fucking paid thousands of dollars to have this entire luxury to myself!” She grumbled without caring if he heard her words. She wondered if gym master gets paid enough to make a special pool reservation.

“The fact that I work at the gym doesn’t mean I am broke.” Damon chuckled lightly. “I am volunteering to coach people at the gym not that it is a life time job.” He added.

Arianna looked away without saying a word. He was right about the first statement but do volunteers have a greater chance of having some expensive hotel treatments to themselves? She mused as her gaze flicked to his bare chest and she admired him. She was angry at him for startling her but everything melted down when fantasy kicked into her head again.

After the first gym session with Damon, Arianna had admitted to her best friend that Damon looked pretty damn perfect for the third thing on summer quest list and Lorna had advised her to get to know him. Arianna had waved her off saying she wasn’t interested but Damon standing in front of her, all wet and gleaming in sexiness was making her have a second thought. Her eyes undressed him as he held her wrist again.

“I am sorry.” He said.

Damon wore a blue swim trunk that displayed his manly bulge. She couldn’t help the images that filled her head as he stood almost naked in front of her. She swallowed hard as she let him lead her back into the pool. He made her sit at the edge while he entered the pool, his strong arms on both sides as if he was guiding her.

Damon waited for her to catch enough breathe before speaking up. “Are you okay?”

Arianna licked her lips and the gesture turned on a switch in Damon. He tried to hold back from kissing her.

“I am fine. But you scared me.” She removed strands of hair from her face.

“I didn’t mean to scare you. I just had to lay low in the water when I heard your voice so you won’t change your mind about swimming.”

Arianna didn’t say anything. She couldn’t find the right words to say to him because the effect his nearly naked body was having on her was too much for her to bear.

“I must have used up my reservation time since they let you use the pool. So since you are here to swim do have a good one. I’ll see you at the gym by 7:00 a.m. Don’t be late.” He made an attempt to leave but Arianna held on his right wrist. She wanted him to stay.

Arianna whipped her head to look up at him and their gaze locked. “Stay...with..me.” She stuttered.

“Are you sure? I don’t want to disturb your swim.” Damon said in a tight whisper.

She let go of his wrist. “I am not mad at you. No..I was but..not anymore. So you can stay.” She stuttered.

“Alright.” Damon nodded. “Then we should swim.” He dipped his hands into the water and splashed it at her. “Will you be okay?” He asked referring to her wrapping her arms around her chest.

Arianna shook her head. “Yeah, I am fine as long as you don’t scare me again.”

Damon chuckled as he went farther into the pool until the water reached his waist. “Do you like swimming?”

Arianna entered into the pool. “Yes....and I plan to have a good one today.” She smiled as she started towards him.

Damon splashed the water on her from where he stood as a renewal of playfulness triggered in him again. It was a relief that she was her usual self around him again.

Desires flared in his eyes as he disappeared underneath the water and dived closer to her. “I didn’t know you are a volunteer at the gym. I thought you are working there full time.” Arianna said.

“It is just an habit I can’t get rid off.” Damon shifted closer, reached out to brush a drop of water from her cheek and removed wet strands of hair from her face. He trailed his strong fingertips over her chin as his eyes gazed at her lips. And he lost control completely when her tongue flicked over her wet lips again.

Damon pulled her closer to his body and she gasped at the sudden movement with her hands pressing against his chest. Arianna could feel the electricity between herself and Damon as their naked flesh met. Tingles began to course through her body as a hand cupped her ass cheek. They were drifting right to the flirting zone.

One would think Arianna has never had an intimate contact with a man in her life. But the truth is she hasn’t experienced this quick connection in her whole life.

Arianna trailed his wet fingertips over her lips. Her temperature hit a different degree, she swallowed hard as she waited for him to do what she desperately wanted. And when he didn’t make a move she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned up to kiss him and she got lost in the kiss immediately.

Arianna had thought of spending more time with Damon after the second gym session she because she couldn’t help the strange feelings anymore. Was it summer spirit being in support of her quest list?
