As I watched him lift those heavy weights, the way his muscles flexed with every rep made it hard not to stare. His shorts left little to the imagination, and the bulge definitely caught my attention. I tried to play it cool, but he noticed me watching, and a sly grin spread across his face.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and shot me a wink. “Enjoying the view?” he teased, his voice deep and playful.

I chuckled, feeling my cheeks flush. “I guess it’s not too bad,” I teased back, trying to sound nonchalant. We exchanged a few more flirty remarks, each one feeling like a game of cat and mouse.

“You should give lifting a try,” he suggested, clearly enjoying our back-and-forth. “I could spot you. Or maybe…we could spot each other?” His grin widened as he flexed his arms a little, as if to show off even more.

I raised an eyebrow and leaned in just slightly, keeping the playful energy alive. “You sure you could handle spotting me? I might surprise you.”
