Weights & Whips

Chapter 2

I woke bleary eyed with a hangover. As I opened my eyes I gasped. "This isn't my room, where the heck am I?!" I mumbled as I looked beneath the quilt to see I was infact naked. I gasped and shot up out of bed, glancing around at my surroundings looking to my clothes. I spot them neatly folded on a chair, next to a dresser with a photo of some soldiers. I get dressed trying to put together the memories from last night. I remember drinking with Leo, I remember getting in the taxi, but that's it.

My body ached the way only great s*x can make it. I rubbed my eyes and look around again spotting a note "Gone to work, have a great day, J." I call a taxi and text Sandra "I messed up last night, but I'm not going to let it get in my way. Today is my first day at my new job at the Pub, and tonight is the first day of my journey to be the world's strongest woman! Wish me luck,I meet my coach at 6pm!" and off I go.

The pub was quiet, just a few locals sipping their pints. About lunch time I get a text from Sandra "What do you mean? Leo said he had a great night?" Oh lord, how do I respond to that. "Well what I remember was great, but I don't know who's bed I spent the night in! All I know is my body is screaming their praise right now! TTYL X"

At the end of my shift I changed into my training gear and took a stroll to my new gym 'The Asylum' it was the best strongman gym around, it had the best equipment and trainers, it produced many strongman and strongwoman record holders. After I left Tom I went to rehab for my injuries, there I found a love for lifting weights, a love for being strong after so many years of being weak and feeble. Never again.

One day, I wanted to win the title of Worlds Strongest Woman. I hadn't competed yet, but I had been training hard since then, I'd put on several kilos of muscle and I was ready to go for gold. As I reached the gym I could barely contain my excitement, I went to the desk and gave them my name and was instructed to wait by the atlas stones, stretch and warm up. I put my headphones on, selected a playlist of heavy metal and rap then got to work.

A few minutes later someone approached me, I presumed my coach, "Hi, I'm Sab, thanks for coaching me, I promise to put in the work!" I said loudly, "Oh, Hi, Sorry I'm not your coach, I was just coming over to ask if you would come on a date with me sometime?" said the burly middle aged man. "ah, sorry, but I'm not interested in dating at the moment." I replied. "Why, did you recently meet a sexy man and spend a night screaming his name?" said a voice behind me. I turned around, confused about who had joined the conversations and what made him think so, only to spot Leo stood there grinning.

"Hi love, sorry to skip out on you this morning, I had an early client" my eyes went wide with shock "LEO, What are you doing here? I didn't know you went to this gym?!" I spluttered out, "I don't go here, I own the gym, and I'm here right now for you, to coach you." I wished the ground would open up and swallow me, I glanced over my shoulder to see the middle aged man had left.

"I'm sorry about last night Leo, I was drunk, I barely remember it, it shouldn't have happened, and now your my coach too? I'm sorry, this can never happen again, I understand if you want me to find a new coach" I said sadly, "Hey, hey, it's OK, we had both been drinking, you clearly didn't know I was your new coach, I'm sorry I should have said. There's no need to find a new coach, we contacted you for a reason, you have potential. I'll still train you, but I don't agree that we can't explore the connection between us, I really felt something last night Sab."

"I'm sorry, I can't date, I have been through alot and I need time to heal, if you can accept that I'd love for you to be my coach" I said. "That's fine Sab, I understand, just friends for now, but I'll keep trying until you give me a chance, because I haven't felt like this in years, not since I left the military" The military.. so it was definitely him last night, if only I could remember it.

We got to work, testing my strength in every lift until I was exhausted. When we wrapped up the session we had a plan. 5 nights in the gym following a printed plan while Leo coached other people and a 3 hour one on one session every Saturday morning. Perfect, I could go to Leather Rose every Saturday night and sleep in Sunday morning.

As me and Leo exited the building and he locked the doors, someone across they road shouted for our attention "Hey Captain! I didn't see you last night, don't tell me you spent the night playing with someone because I already asked everyone and you didn't enter a playroom!" said the young preppy girl, ginger hair bouncing in the wind, skin pale and freckled, as she reached us she leant against Leo, pushing her breasts together and pouting "all anyone knew is someone saw you having a drink with someone new and walking her to a taxi" I stared at the ground, unsure what to say or do. "Good evening Firebird, No I didn't enter the playrooms, I spent the night with a new... friend. Then took her home for the night" he said as she gasped, "Took her to your home? You never allow a playmate to your home?! Did you play with her? DID YOU f**k HER?!" She screamed "HEY! Enough shouting, this is my work, apologise now!" Leo spoke in a commanding tone, Firebird melted to his command instantly "I'm sorry, could you please answer my questions Captain" she muttered.

"Yes, I will. Yes to my home, no there was no play it wasn't like that, yes we made love, and before you ask why her and not you, she is not a playmate, I believe she is my soul mate, only time will tell if she accepts me." I was lost for words, still staring at the pavement. Firebird burst out crying and ran off in a hurry. Leo turned to me, "Apologies love"

I slowly looked up to meet his eyes, "Captain? The... Captain?"

Oh what have I done...
