“C’mon, man. They’re called crunches for a reason.”
    “What’s with this sudden obsession with my belly?” Fin gasped as he tightened his abs and pushed himself to do the crunches properly.
    “It needs work.”
    Fin looked at Jay with wide eyes, pausing between crunches. Yes, Jay was a personal trainer with a damn near perfect physique. And yes, Fin was generally a slacker who put in the least amount of effort possible at the gym, but Jay had never been quite so blunt before. It was a painful blow after the day he’d had. Before he could form any words, Jay grinned.
    “Don’t worry. I care about the whole package. You’re going to be sore everywhere by the time I’m done with you.”
    The mischievous look on his face said it all. He’d meant it exactly the way it sounded. “You don’t offer such complete services to all of your clients, right?” Fin asked with a frown.
    “Nope. Their happy endings are none of my business,” he answered, winking.
    Glad to hear it. Fin grunted as he rolled over and prepared to settle into a plank. Still not sure how I feel about getting fucked by my best friend, but I definitely don’t want to give him any reason to reconsider his offer.
    Pungent man-scent wafted through the air and caught in Fin’s nose as a group of sweaty guys left the ellipticals and walked them past them. Despite it being during regular business hours, there were quite a few members working out. A power sled loaded with weights made a shhhhhh sound as it was dragged several dozen yards across the floor. From one side of the facility where the benches and machines were located came the clanking of weights and the occasional grunt. Rhythmic wooshing sounded from the opposite side of the facility where a trainer instructed a new member in the proper form of the rowing machines. Another trainer oversaw a group doing squat tosses with medicine balls near a pile of atlas stones, kettlebells, sledgehammers, and giant tires. It was all so fascinating. People-watching was Fin’s favorite gym activity.
    That particular activity didn’t accelerate his heart rate, unfortunately. He glanced up at the mirror covering the opposite wall to catch a glimpse of Jay’s face. There was not a single iota of pity in his expression. He’s not going to give me a free pass on the planks. Bastard. Fin hated planks with a red hot passion, but it was part of Jay’s familiar hellish workout. It was best to just get on with it without complaints, so he settled into his best imitation of a plank.
    “Feel it in your core,” Jay said, his tone a bit more gentle than before. He pressed firmly on Fin’s tailbone until he was in the proper position. “That’s better. You’re doing great, Fin.”
    “Thanks,” he grunted through gritted teeth, already struggling to hold position.
    “You know, I thought a career in IT was a good choice for you. You’re like the Tech Whisperer. So are you going to tell me how you got – ”
    “Not. Now.”
    “Okay, I get it,” Jay laughed. Then Fin felt the firm push against his tailbone again. “Keep your ass down and your back straight. Sticking your ass up in the air during planks and pushups is cheating. But other times…”
    “You’re. An. Ass.”
    “I think the word you’re looking for is tease .”
    The sound Fin made was some weird combination of a grunt, a growl, and a groan. Jay was a fucking tease. He knew exactly what he was doing, and he was enjoying every second of it. At least Fin’s body was trying so hard not to keel over and die that it couldn’t spare any blood for his cock. Getting a hard-on while he was getting his plank on would be humiliating. And Jay would just tell me to put it away and do the plank correctly.
    The thought made Fin roll his eyes, and his ass started to rise as he lost his concentration. This time, the gentle pressure on his tailbone stayed for the duration of the exercise, making him feel as though he had to put in twice as much effort.
