She giggled before responding. “No. It doesn’t help doing it that way. Like I said, you must trust me, Armond.”
The sweetness dripping from her lips as she said my name had me feeling different and I didn’t know how to process it. It was warm and rolled right off her tongue like it was only meant for her to say it. I could only imagine how she would sound saying my name as I pleased her. How she would say it if I angered her. I was thinking too much for the moment of relaxation we were trying to commence.
“Fine,” was all I could say.
Her hands touched my sides and I felt a surge of warmth cascade through my entire being. I was transformed into a space where only us two were in it. I closed my eyes and exhaled from the comfort she brought me until I felt her bare foot knocking lightly against mine so I could move it.
“Pay attention, Armond. Don’t go to the deep end on me. Spread your legs just a little bit. It’ll help in that bent over position so you can stretch your spine better. You might feel a couple of cracks in there, but it’ll be good for you,” she said.
“Alright. How’s this?” I asked as I did what she said.
“Much better. See, you’re already improving. Now try to do the same as before and tell me how you feel.”
I did as she asked and was able to stretch and wrap my arm around my leg with no problem or pain at all. I looked up at her and she wore a knowing smile. I got lost in it as I stood slowly.
“Aight, you got me,” I said as I turned to face her.
“Mmhmm. I told you. Thank you for trusting me. Hey, guys!” She waved at a few ladies walking up to us and excused herself to greet them. Her smile was wide and genuine and I couldn’t help but understand how much she loved what she did.
“Oh, you like her,” I heard from behind me.
I turned to see a tiny woman staring up at me with a huge smile on her face. She was beautiful too but not like my Brandy. She was a light contrast to Brandy’s bronzed tone with full lips, big ginger hair, and blue eyes.
“And how would you know that?” I asked as I took in her petite frame. She was working it, I must say. Shit, all the women who surrounded themselves with Brandy had nice bodies and pretty faces. She kept good company and I was sure she was part of the reason for those tight frames.
“You’re smitten. It’s written all over your face. Her own ex-husband didn’t look at her like you are right now. If she shows interest, I say go for it,” she expressed.
“And who do I have the delight of learning this information from?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m Marsha.” She stretched her hand out and I took it to appease her.
“Armond.”
“Armond? Like in, the owner of this resort Armond Davis?”
“Someone has done their research.” I chuckled.
“Well, yeah. I couldn’t come to another country without doing so. It’s nice to meet you. The resort is beautiful and the cuisine is top tier.”
“Why thank you. Make sure you leave that review on Yelp,” I teased.
She giggled and I winked as I put my attention back on Brandy. She was making her way back over to us and smiled when our eyes connected.
“Mmhmm. Definitely go after that,” Marsha said, then walked off and placed her mat a little bit away from mine. I was glad for the distance because I didn’t really like people in my space. I just tolerated it for the sake of my resort. The second I left here I’d be distancing myself from people for quite some time, unless it was business related.
“Alright, everyone! Welcome to day one of our Mind, Body, and Wellness Retreat!” Brandy greeted.
Everyone in attendance cheered and shouted in excitement and I couldn’t help but smile. I heard about this retreat and didn’t know why I didn’t put the two together.
“We are here to get our minds right. Keep the norm where it's at and take in the beauty around us. Let the ocean fill us with peace and gratitude and shake off all the bad juju. We’re here to have fun. Dig deep into those body movements and go home relaxed and ready to take on whatever comes. Y’all good with that?”
Everyone replied in yeahs and woohoos and I even chimed in this go round. This was exactly what I needed to escape and explore myself. Maybe Brandy would be good for me.
Brandy led and I was a good student who tended to distract her here and there. She caught me staring at her and I winked just to fluster her. She seemed to like it when I did. She smiled a lot and if I was being honest, I wasn’t sure if she had in quite some time. I caught her rubbing her cheeks discreetly when she thought I wasn’t looking, talking herself down after we had our moments. It was cute.
She found herself behind me again. This time she wrapped her arms around me and slid her hands down my chest and stomach before stopping right above my dick. She pressed into my pelvis and told me to bend better. I couldn’t help but laugh even though I wanted to grab her and lay her on this mat.
Her touch was everything I needed and I wanted more of it. I wanted her hands on my bare skin driving me insane. I wanted to be between her legs, giving her every bit of this refreshed body until I was so worn out, we’d have to have another of these yoga sessions. I wanted Brandy badly.
