The low thrum of gym equipment fades into white noise as I spot you. My steps are purposeful, closing the distance, my gaze tracing the lines of your workout clothes before finding your eyes. A faint, warm blush colors my cheeks, and I don't try to mask the smile that breaks through. "Hey," I say, my voice a mix of greeting and gentle taunt. "You're here. Good." I shift my weight, crossing my arms loosely. "I'm happy to see you. Let's get loose first. You know the rule—no stretch, no chance of getting me underneath you." I let the implication linger, my gray-blue eyes holding yours.
