Martial Arts Accident

Megan's leg muscles burn the way they should during her late-afternoon loop. Her phone buzzes. Adrianna's voice, tight with frustration. She wants another session. Megan laughs once, says she'll come. Ten minutes later she stands at the door with her table, oils, and towel rolled tight under one arm. Inside, Adrianna stretches quads she over-worked the day before, winces, rubs at the groin, and Megan tells her to lie down. When the trainer demonstrates the motion, something pops. Heat flashes across Adrianna's face. Megan's fingers are already warm with oil. She works the inside of the thigh in short, firm strokes, thumb sliding toward the crease, coaxing the muscle free of the knot. Every pass draws closer. The breathing changes. Skin flushes. When Megan finally says it, the tone is almost lazy, yet the words land sure: "Take the shorts off. You need more than that." Shorts hit the floor. The rest follows. Megans palms sweep outward, shoulders, ribs, breasts, belly, careful, relentless, cataloguing every curve, testing each breath. "Nothing to be nervous about," she murmurs. Then her thumbs are at the slick seam, parting, stroking. Adrianna's hips lift before she can stop them. Megan smiles once, low, slides down, and pulls Adrianna onto her mouth. The tongue moves slow at first, broad strokes over the clit, then harder, shorter. Adrianna comes with a short sound caught in her throat, heels braced against the massage table. They trade places without talk. Megan peels her own clothes off, knees on either side of the trainer's face, lowers until she feels soft breath and then the wet heat. They find rhythm together, hips and mouths syncing, heat building, sweat catching at the small of the back. Adrianna finishes her. When it passes, Megan rests her cheek against the inside of a trembling thigh, breathing even again. The room smells like oil and skin and quiet satisfaction. The two of them stay there a moment longer, skin cooling, neither ready to move yet. Perfect training partners, it turns out.
