“I hate slow.”

“I know, but that’s how you build up your stamina.”

He waggles his eyebrows at me. “I have excellent stamina.”

My eyes roll and I begin to turn on my music when Emery stops me. “Hey, what’s your name?”

“Mitch.”

“Mitch, the badass bitch.”

My lips twitch at that and he watches as I stand on the treadmill and start at a slow pace. He copies me, trying his best, but he taps out after a few minutes, lying on the floor and panting loudly.

He doesn’t move until I finally get off twenty minutes later and then scrambles after me.

“What are we doing now, Mitchy?”

I sigh, realizing that I can’t get rid of this guy. I already told him my name. Seems I’m stuck with him.

“Arms.”

I lead him to a machine and show him how to use it. He oohs and aahs over the amount of weight I can press and when it’s his turn, I make sure there are no weights attached to the machine at all.

He scowls at me.

“You couldn’t even lift five pounds the other day.”

His lips turn up in a smile. “I know. I’m just kidding.” And then he starts to move the machine frantically. The metal bangs dramatically as he pumps his arms, and I sigh.

I slow him down and tell him to work at it a little more carefully. He listens and pretty soon, we’re in an odd little routine. He follows me around to different machines, babbling most of the time about random shit while I try to listen. And when it’s time to leave, he holds out his fist for me to bump.

“I’d hug you, but I don’t think you’d like that.”

“You’re right. I wouldn’t,” I say and then knock my knuckles with his.

He grins and then pulls a lollipop from his pocket and pops it into his mouth.

“See you later, Mitch Bitch!”

People turn their heads to stare at me, but I ignore them, disappearing into the locker room to shower. When I head home, I’m thankful I didn’t run into Gideon. Although, why would he be here on a Friday night? He’s on a date with that guy.

I frown the entire way to my house and only let it dissolve when I go through the door and Shitty Pantaloons rubs up against my ankles. I pick it up and let it nuzzle into my neck.

“It doesn’t fucking matter who he’s out with,” I lie to myself and then head into the kitchen to make myself dinner.

That night I have a dream of him, his hands on my neck, his body between my spread legs. His warm breath hits my cheek as he ruts against me.

“More,” I beg, my body arching into his, vibrating with need.

“Say please,” he rasps, and I feel myself melt in that moment.

“Please, please.”

His hands leave my neck and he pushes my knees up to my chest, and then I feel it, the press of his cock at my hole.

And with a cry, a desperate moan, I open up for him…

I suddenly shoot up in bed, my cock hard and aching, my asshole clenching around nothing.
