               “Oh holy fuck!” she shouted, “Are you..okay?”

Her legs still felt like wobbly fuckin jelly as she made her way off her own still moving treadmill.  That was also an error in judgment it turned out. As instead of coming to the aid of the pretty boy, who was cursing as he was laid out on the marble, she went sprawling on top of him. In a tangle of limbs and swear words, her left hand went into his crouch as she tried to push herself off him, he reared up and his face slammed into her right breast. He rolled her over off him, though not all that delicately, as all his fancy pretenses were lost as he rubbed at his crotch, and his face turned blood red.

And what the hell had just happened? Grayson Godwin had been like a normal person for like ten minutes and opened up a little, and even tried to keep her from injury. He busted his ass to try and keep her from doing the same.  Did he actually care? Or was he just protecting his investment?

Amberleigh muttered apologies as she sat up. He’d definitely softened her landing, and though her boob was aching, it was little in comparison to the possible busted testicle and belt burn Grayson was sporting on his right leg. It looked nasty, but nothing some proper disinfecting and bandaging couldn’t handle.  

She sprinted over to the first aid kit and grabbed it off the wall. Maybe she should have taken a moment to consider personal boundaries and consent, before she activated the ice pack, and pushed in into his crotch. She had been there before after all.

She waited for the backlash to come. She waited for the rant for her causing him to nearly kill himself, as she tore open a package of gauze with her teeth, poured some of the antibiotic ointment on the pad, and then pressed it to his leg. He winced and cursed. Being this close to him, she could feel the heat from his body, breath in his musky scent. It was intoxicating.

 “If you wanted to render me infertile, I assure you there are better ways of doing it Miss Dubois,” he said, “Fuck that burns.”

She grinned, “Was that an attempt at a joke sir?  Is that a tear I see in your eye Mr. Godwin?”

“That would be sweat Miss Dubois. I’m sure a gym savvy individual like yourself knows all about it seeing as you’re a master on the fitness machines.”

He grabbed a roll of gauze from the red box and started to wrap it around his leg, dismissing her help. Tough macho man did it without wincing this time as she watched. She offered to help him stand, but he waved her off. He did walk with a noticeable limp and a stiffness Fuck, this hadn’t been a part of the plan. To draw blood and physically injure him. Leo wouldn’t be pleased. And besides, a fine dick like his was much too pretty to be rendered useless.
