ALMA'S POV
I felt so anxious, I didn't know what to do and what not to do. So I just remained there, hoping he would take the lead.
Then he rose to his feet and stretched out his hand towards me. "I'll have to show you how it's done because I can tell from the look on your face that you have never done it before."
My cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. He was right, I had never done it before. Unlike most other girls, I believed in my mate only and didn't date anyone else.
Now that I had been rejected, maybe it was time to change that perspective.
So I reached out and took his hand. His grip was firm and strong around mine. He brought me to my feet and and turned me around.
With my back facing him, I could feel his breath tickling the back of my neck. His scent filled up my nostrils, that manly heavenly fragrance.
I felt a sudden sensation trail down my back as he spoke. "It's a set of breathing exercises and stretching exercises that i came across online just a few weeks ago and they said to do it when you can't fall asleep after a stressful day."
My ears pricked, I couldn't help but to wonder if I had heard him wrong. "What? Breathing and stretching exercises?"
"Yeah. It's really easy when you get the hang of it and it will help your muscles relax. Sleep will come easier than you could imagine." He explained.
My cheeks heated up with embarrassment as I heard those words from him. The things I had imagined in my head, I couldn't help but to think, what if I had suddenly taken off my top earlier after he said such words to me?
He would have felt so uncomfortable around me and it would become an even more uncomfortable situation. He probably would have stopped being so friendly with me.
But the fact that I was even thinking about something so s****l and bad was enough to buy me a lifetime supply of embarrassment especially whenever I would see him.
I didn't know what to do, moving away from him would sell me off that I had been expecting something else completely and he would have probably guessed what.
But staying as well made me feel so uncomfortable.
It was hard to decide, but I knew I had no other choice but to pretend like i had not been thinking about something else and go with it.
"Were you expecting something else?" He asked and I might have imagined it but I felt his body grow closer to mine.
I let out a nervous chuckle. "What? No! Of course not! I was just very curious as to what it could be."
He chuckled softly. "Okay. Just wanted to be sure you didn't get your hopes high only to find it's just some dumb exercises."
"No, it's fine."
"Okay. I need your permission." He suddenly said.
"What?"
"Permission to touch you..." His voice was soft as he spoke.
I felt my body tense up at his request but I told myself I needed to act mature. 'You're not a kid anymore for crying out loud! How many grown women have you seen that tense up at the touch of a man?' i asked myself.
With a soft breath, I responded. "You have my permission."
I stood still like a statue, telling myself continuously not to melt under his touch. But the moment i felt his hands on my waist, i shuddered like it was a chill during winter and I was out naked.
His hands slid around my waist and came up to my stomach, "you need to take in a very deep breath and hold it in for as long as I ask you to. Suck in your gut too."
I batted my lashes, his hands were so warm around my skin. His touch was so gentle, it was like the touch of a feather on my skin.
"You're breathing too fast," he said to me, his lips touched my ear softly. Then his hand raised and touched my chest. "take it easy."
I let out a shuddered breath. It was close to impossible to focus but i had to, i couldn't let him see the things his touches were doing to me.
So I let my eyelids fall close and sucked in a deep breath like he had instructed.
"Good." He commended. "Hold it... Hold it... Hold it... Now let it go gently..."
I exhaled, breathing softly. I could have sworn I felt my anxiety exit my body along with the breath.
"Let's do it one more time..." His voice was so soft. His body was so close to mine, my behind was pressing against his body now.
I found it difficult to it this time around as I felt his groin on my body. But I managed to repeat the step.
"That's it." I could hear the smile in his voice. "Now that was the warm up, let's start stretching those tired muscles. Firstly," his hands slid under mine and raised them up, "let's stretch our hands up and you'll feel your body immediately stretching."
Just like he said, I felt it, but that wasn't the only thing I was feeling.
After a few arm stretches, he began to massage my shoulders. I just stood there like a lab rat allowing myself be used as he pleased. Maybe because I was enjoying it myself.
Then we continued but with some body stretching this time. Touching my toes while his hands were firmly placed on my hips, and my backside was pressing further against his hardness.
It felt so hard against my body, curiosity took over me and I began wondering what it looked like in real life.
I had seen it in a movie once, but it wasn't all that clear and out in the open so it was so vaguely revealed. I didn't know what exactly it looked like and I wanted to find out.
I bit down on my lips, thinking about what I had watched that day. The way she moaned, would I also moan like that? The way she clung onto him, the way their body moved in rhythm to his every thrust.
She claimed she was was losing her senses, was it true? Could it really make one lose their senses?
Then I felt his hand trail up my body, stopping short of my boobs. He raised me to stand straight once again and my back was pressing against his chest.
Slowly, I felt his hands caress my body, my stomach, my waist, rubbing it gently. "It's just a little massage," his hands slid down to my hips and then, "do you want me to stop? Nod if you want me to go on."
Like a bobblehead, I nodded without hesitation, not daring to open my eyes. Then I felt his hand slide inside my pajamas short, all the way to my middle.
I shuddered, pressing against his body to keep me on my feet. A shuddered sigh my mouth as my head propped against his chest.
He stroked me softly and slowly, teasing me with his every touch. I couldn't stop my body from shuddering continuously, I held onto his other hand, trying to catch my breath.
It felt so good... Too good... The last thing I wanted was for it to stop.
