Remembering Syd was so close by pissed me off so much I was good and hot after my workout. Not hot in the traditional sense. By the time I tossed my rope to the floor and made my way to the bathroom, turning the shower on, my cock was as hard as a rock.

I made the water as cold as possible, willing my body to calm the down. Even after stroking my cock—making myself come in the shower—thoughts of thrusting my concrete hard shaft inside Syd—instead of giving myself a hand job—assaulted me.

Only my second release left me calm enough to turn the water off and get my ass out of the shower. As I started to redress in a pair of jeans and a Polo shirt, a knock at my door interrupted me. Seeing the time, I assumed it was none other than Jacob, but once again, I came face-to-face with Syd.

“Oh, you’re still here,” she sounded breathless.

My eyes trailed her up and down to see that she too, had changed from what she wore earlier. She was now dressed in a pair of form fitting blue jeans, a light tan short-sleeved sweater, and black high heels. It was a more relaxed look than she wore to the gym most days, but I could tell she’d still put effort into her look.

I got the sense it wasn’t for my benefit. Even when she’d been working the half-marathon, she’d donned makeup and styled her hair in a high curly puff. She wore it the same way in the hotel room.

“I’m about to head to get something to eat and I was wondering if you had plans… you probably have plans with your brother.” She shook her head.

I started to respond to her inquiry but was cut off by another male voice.

“He does have plans,” Jacob interrupted.

Syd’s eyes widened as she turned, staring at my brother.

“You must be the brother in question.” I caught her smile as I stared at her profile.

Jacob didn’t smile back. He wasn’t the smiling type, but that didn’t seem to throw Syd off.

“I’m Luke’s new trainer, Syd.”

Jacob’s gaze moved from Syd to mine, questioning.

I nodded, and he took the hand she offered, shaking it.

“Jacob,” he replied.

Something bounced through my chest at the sight of his hand wrapping around hers, however brief the encounter was.

“I won’t bother you two. Enjoy your evening.”

“You can join us,” Jacob suddenly invited.

I glared at him, wordlessly.

Syd looked between the two of us, her lips ajar. That fucking mole at the top of her lip caused my stomach muscles to tense.

“You might as well. You gotta eat, don’t you?” I insisted.

Her mouth snapped shut and I cocked my head to the side as Jacob tossed me a stunned look. I shrugged, not giving anyone an answer. Instead, I re-entered my room, grabbing my hotel key off the nightstand along with my wallet, put on my shoes and headed toward the front door.

“If it’s an inconvenience, I don’t have to tag along. I hear there’s some really great shopping in Williamsport that I could get into.”

“It’s not an inconvenience,” Jacob said, before turning to me. “Is it, Luke?”

Fine time to ask me. After he’d already invited her. Now, I’d look like the asshole for saying fuck no it wasn’t convenient. I couldn’t exactly blurt out the real issue was I’d have a boner at my brother’s dinner table, sitting across from my trainer the whole time. Usually, I didn’t give a shit about hurting someone’s feelings by rejecting them, but oddly, I started to care.

“It’s fine. I’m hungry,” I grunted.

“He gets hangry when he hasn’t eaten in a while,” Syd quipped.

Jacob snorted.

“I’m starting to see the family resemblance.”
