What’s one of the best parts of going to the gym? No brainer, my friends: checking out all the hot guys getting sweaty and showing off their muscles, of course! Even better if one of those sexy things is working out with you, right?
Well, way back in 2008 (ancient history in this fandom, right? ::gigglesnort::) a sweet little author by the name of -le jen- gave us a delicious piece of fun and smut called The Importance of a Good Stretch. Prepare your panties, ladies, because this one is a clencher. With just the right amount of humor and an honest glimpse into the mind of a (horny) twenty-something woman, this is a o/s you’re guaranteed to love.
Bella is sassy, a little bit snarky at times, and definitely knows what she wants when she gets smooshed in an elevator with Edward, who just so happens to work in the same building. Let’s take a look at how it all begins…
I noticed the duffel bag that he carried, and asked rather facetiously, “You moving in?”
He chuckled again, “Nah. I saw that we have a gym here in the building and wanted to scope it out today.”
“Really? We have a gym? Does it cost anything to go in there?” I replied. I knew it wasn’t gonna cost him anything to come in here…
“Not to my knowledge. The front desk said that I could use my security card to gain access to the club.”
“Wow. If I had known that, I would have saved on that stupid membership to Bally’s.” I smiled. I hoped I didn’t have any seeds lingering in my gums from my muffin that I stopped to buy this morning.
“Well then, how about we check it out together tomorrow? I’ll get acquainted with the machinery today and tomorrow we can work up a sweat together.” Oh, if he knew what he was doing to my panties. Bella- just throw him against the wall and let him fuck your brains out. Please. As your vah-jay-jay, I’m begging you: heed my advice.
A gym date? Well, well, well, that certainly has a lot of potential.
I love this Bella because she is strong and confident, and even though her mind (and girly bits) aren’t immune to Edward’s lust-inducing charms, she manages to make their workout into an erotic game of seduction. This is where Bella starts living up to the title.
As I stretched my hamstrings, I looked over behind me to see him eyeing my ass. Time to have a little fun since you’re making me do this so you can check me out. I shimmied my hips and switched to the right side and slightly moaned as I pushed myself further to the ground. I sneaked a peek at him and saw that his eyes were approximately the diameter of a can of cranberry sauce and the color of Army fatigue green.
“Ugh. Um… ok, Bella, you should sw-switch si-sides. M-make sure you get all the muscles in y-your l-legs,” he stammered.
However, this is a game for two, and they both pull out the teasing and innuendo.
I paused the treadmill and, dropping my voice an octave, I asked, “Are you going to watch, or do you wish join me?” I gave him a condescending look and my own smirk to ensure him that he was indeed caught, and that I was thinking the same things he is.
“I was just trying to figure out where I wanted to start first, but I fully intend on enjoying you.”
I flushed, not really knowing what else to do, then I turned the tables back on him.
“Excuse me?”
“Oh, um, I said ‘I was just trying to figure out where I wanted to start before I joined you,” he stated hastily.
“Okay, well hop to it, I plan on starting with the treadmill and then finish up with you.”
This time, he flushed pink and his eyes moved to that deep Army green again, “Uh, What?” He asked.
“I said, ‘I’ll start with the treadmill and finish up with weights with you.’”
BBs, that’s only the beginning. -le jen- takes us through the workout, the getting-to-know-you conversations, and all the suggestive, enticing details that build the sexual tension one piece at a time. And holy hot hell, what tension it is! Working up a sweat together? Gym mirrors? Lingering looks? Locker room showers? Oh yes, those are just a few of the delicious details in store for the readers.
So go ahead and kick it old school with me. I promise that The Importance of a Good Stretch will not disappoint at all, and when you reach the last line of this story, you’ll be screaming at your computer screen, “OMG, why isn’t there another chapter?!?!” Read it, love it, review it!
