Chapter 1: Introduction
Sweat trickles down my neck as I step into the gym after spending a long day at work. I'm just in time for the evening crowd. I rub the aels off my dress shirt and take a deep, shaky breath. The weight in the air isn't just from everyone's exhaustion, but also the racing adrenaline, the sweat, and the tangy scent of shampoo and deodorant.
The rhythmic beat of electronic music pounds in my ears, making me vibrate with each crescendo.
My eyes scan the vicinity before settling on Her—Amber Smith—a female bodybuilder I've seen around before. She's standing by the shoulder press machine, chalking up her massive biceps before pulling down the handles with seemingly her little finger. My God, she's strong. The crowd around her seems to melt away as she performs rep after rep with an effortless grace. Fuck, I can't help but have a primal attraction brewing deep within me as I watch her from afar.
