CHAPTER 32

I think I fell asleep about ten that night, Ashley was still hard at it. I woke up at about seven the next morning, got dressed and headed to the gym for my appointment. Carl was already there working with a few clients when I walked into the huge room. He waved to me, excused himself and came right over.

"Brian, good to see you.", he said, shaking my hand.

"I see they have been working you hard, I can see a big difference in you.", he said, looking me over.

I explained to him that I had gotten a slight bit stronger, but I felt I had lost some of the quickness I had when I was fifteen pounds lighter. He understood what had happened, the bulking program I was on was for pure strength and muscle mass, not for quickness. He told me he would talk to a friend of his who had coached track athletes in college, see what tips he could offer for speed and quickness. We set up a routine of five days a week, taking off Wednesdays and Sundays.

I promised to see him Monday morning, thanked him again and left the gym heading into town. I looked at my watch and it was almost nine thirty, I thought it was a bit too early to go to Courtney's house. I stopped at the diner, had two cups of coffee to kill some time. I arrived at Courtney's about ten thirty that morning, her Dad was out in the drive washing his SUV.

"Hello Brian, I didn't know you were back in town.", he said, shaking my hand.

"Yes sir, I got in yesterday around noon," I answered.

"Brian, I just want you to know that Courtney's mother and I are so glad to see you and Courtney back together again. She has completely changed, she is back to her old self. I rest so much easier these days.", he explained.

"I'm glad we are together again too, sir. I missed her when we separated.", I answered.

He led me inside of the house, motioning for me to go into the family room where Courtney and her mother were watching TV together. I turned into the large family room and entered, the ladies had their backs to me.

"Can a guy get a hug in this joint ?", I asked softly.

Courtney and her mother whirled around, Courtney shouted out, jumping off of the sofa.

"Briannnnnnnnn.", she yelled, running around the large sectional, jumping into my arms.

I gave her a quick kiss, mindful of her Mother, then bent down to hug Ms. Timmons. I sat down and talked to the both of them for close to an hour before her Dad came in from outside. He motioned with a wave of his hand to the ladies to move.

"Ok, it's man time. We're gonna talk some football, begone ladies.", he laughed.

He sat down across from me and for thirty minutes or so we talked about last season and what the upcoming season would bring. He seemed concerned about what had happened to the team last year, hoping it would not be a recurrent problem. I told him if next year started out the same, I would consider transferring immediately, but I had faith in the program. The ladies rejoined us for a while, then I excused myself to go home for a while, Courtney and I would go out later that night.

I arrived back at home to see Ashley back at the kitchen table, finishing up her tests. She had on a short silk robe tied at the waist, her hair was pulled back in a ponytail. I could see her firm, full breasts as her robe opened slightly, while she bent over her papers grading them intently.

"What do you have planned for today ?", she asked, causing me to immediately look away from her.

"Uh..nothing much really. Court and I are going out tonight, not much else.", I answered.

"Oh.", she said, never looking up.

That night Courtney and I went out to dinner, and walked through town looking in the stores, killing time. She informed me that her parents were going out of town early the next morning, they would not be back until Tuesday morning. She was looking forward to us having a quiet, private evening alone together, as was I. I dropped her off about ten that night and went straight home. I took a long shower in the hall bath, put on shorts and a tee shirt, grabbed a seat on the sofa, and turned on the TV. I flipped through the channels finally settling on a movie that had just started. I heard the water running in the back of the house, Ashley must be in the shower. About thirty minutes later she came out, dressed in a very tight pair of white shorts and a tank top. It was all I could do to keep from staring at her, I had never seen her in such revealing clothes before. She settled in and began to watch the movie, I kept sneaking glances at her, I was absolutely mesmerized. She looked up and caught me staring at her several times, she just smiled and turned back to the movie. I finally couldn't take it any longer, I got up and excused myself, saying I was tired.

I climbed into my bed, pulling the covers up, my mind still processing what I had seen. I know it was awful to be thinking of Ashley in that manner, but God Damn, she was beautiful. Even though she was a little more than ten years my senior, she certainly didn't look at it. I tried to think about Courtney, how I felt about her, but nothing worked. I felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed of my feelings, but at the same time, I was incredibly aroused. Before I knew it, my hand was inside of my shorts, stroking my swollen cock, as the image of Ashley in those white shorts was still burned into my brain. I was getting seriously close to orgasm, my hand reached up to pull the covers back, I was ready to explode. For some reason, I happened to glance towards the door, I froze when I saw the door open just a crack, Ashley peering in. I dropped the covers quickly, sitting up in bed.

"Uh Brian…. Um, do you have to be up at any set time ?", Ashley asked, her eyes looking down at the floor.

"I'm going to the gym at eight o'clock.", I responded.

"Okay, I will make sure you're up.", she said, pulling the door closed as she left.

I fell back on the bed horrified, a sick feeling in my stomach. There was no doubt in my mind that Ashley knew what I was doing. And I was pretty sure she knew it was the result of me fantasizing about her. I felt disgusted with myself for losing control, I didn't want to face Ashley in the light of day. I didn't sleep much that night, I tossed and turned most of the time. I got up about seven, dressed and left the house quietly before seeing Ashley. I slouched into the gym with my tail between my legs.
