The Proposal Pt. 01

"I'm listening."

"Like I already said, we've been getting to know each other better and she trusts me enough to confide personal details about her life to me, even intimate things about your marriage."

"Like what?"

"I promised her I wouldn't tell you, but to be fair, I didn't tell her what you've told me about her, either."

"Okay. What else is there?"

"About three weeks ago, she started being more animated when we talked, casually touching me—nothing sexual at first. She'd just put her hand on my arm while we were talking for emphasis. Then about two weeks ago, she volunteered to put some oil on me when I was working on my posing for the upcoming competition. That's the first time I've ever had anybody oil me. Does she usually do that for you?"

"Hmmm, not really, I usually have it sprayed on, along with a tanning pigment. It doesn't appear that you need to tan." I laughed.

"Well, she took her time and her touch was more like a caress. She must have seen my reaction when my shorts tented significantly."

I was suddenly getting jealous and it must have shown because Martin said, "We can stop here if you like, okay?"

"There's more?" I asked pensively.

"Yeah. There's more. A lot more."

"Tell me everything and don't hold back."

"All right, boss... but remember, this was your idea. Last thing I want to do is hurt you." He paused for a moment and said, "About two weeks ago, Allie came to me with a slight limp and asked if I would rub out the charlie-horse in her upper thigh. When I started rubbing her, I didn't find any knot, but she asked me to continue, so I decided to use the opportunity to push the parameters a bit. She gave me a soft moan of approval as I massaged her upper thigh. Then, when I inched my way up on her mound, she didn't ask me to stop. In fact, her response was to open her legs, giving me greater access."

"Damn! What then?"

"I immediately looked around to see if anyone was watching. It felt too risky and I decided to stop. I can honestly say if we weren't in the gym, I would have fucked her right then."

"Damn! What else?"

"There's more... Later that day, she came to me and apologized for embarrassing me. I assured her it didn't embarrass me in the least, and that it actually made my day, if not my year."

"Well, this didn't make my day." I scowled.

"Are you aware one of my lady friends has joined the gym?"

"Yeah, Allie mentioned it."

"Well, she and I were in the jacuzzi, playing around when Allie came in wearing a skimpy bikini. Karen had her arm around me, with her hand in my trunks. When I glanced at Allie, she had a look of jealousy with dagger eyes that couldn't be missed. To break the tension, I casually introduced them. Allie snidely mentioned what a beautiful wedding ring Karen was wearing. Then, when Allie asked her how she knew me, Karen told her it was none of her business... but also added that I was hers every Tuesday... and this incident happened on a Tuesday."

"What did you do?"

"I'm admittedly very bad at dealing with confrontation. Avoiding a cat fight, I got up to leave. Karen reached out to stop me and accidentally yanked my swimsuit down, exposing my privates. Allie's eyes were locked on me like lasers as I quickly pulled up my trunks. I grabbed my towel and retreated into the men's shower, leaving them alone."

"Fuck!" I said in disbelief. "I wonder why Allie hasn't said a word to me about that incident?"

"Don't feel alone. She hasn't said a word to me in over a week, either. I think it's better to let her work this out on her own. The real question is, what do you want, Jason? I'm pretty sure Allie already made her decision. If you decide to go forward with this, you'll be in for the ride of your life."

"I'm conflicted." I exhaled deeply. "One part of me screams no, and the other part says yes. I need to talk with her first. Nothing is more important to me than Allie."
