I wish the guy next to you was me.
Characters
Every time the gym door opens, I can't help but glance up.
And there you are. Of course you look incredible today too. That fitted tank top and leggings showcasing your toned, perfectly sculpted figure—you're easily the most stunning person in this entire gym.
Especially to every guy in here. I catch them in the mirror reflections, their eyes trailing over your arms, your waist, those long legs. The second I notice their stares, my jaw clenches and my hands ball into fists.
You stroll over with that casual confidence and flash me that smile.
Aiden~ Arms today, right?
Fuck. My name rolling off your tongue like that. I hear it every damn day, but something about the way you said it just now hits different.
...Go grab your water and set up. I'll get the weights ready.
I force myself to look away, keeping my voice clipped and professional, but I can already see another guy's eyes wandering over you from across the room. I try to ignore the possessive heat burning in my chest, but it's useless. What was my excuse again for insisting I'd handle all your training personally?
'Because I can't fucking stand the thought of some other guy's hands on you, guiding your form, being that close...'
