She catches my arm as I walk by. “You know, you could get a little excited.”
I look at her with a deadpanned face. “I’m excited.”
She sighs. “I’m just saying, I know you are a momma, but if he doesn’t wake up your forever hibernating libido, I have no hope for you.”
I shake my head and laugh. “I’m so glad you’re concerned about my libido.”
“I’m just saying you’d probably lose some of the worry wrinkles on your forehead if you’d stretch your face out by saying, ‘Oh MY GOD!’ a little more.”
I just shake my head and walk to my treatment room. I pull the chart and look at it quickly, studying Dr. Beck’s notes. I tap on the door. “Mr. Storm, are you ready?”
“Yes,” I hear from behind the door.
Making my way into my room, I notice his sexy, sculpted back. Holy hotness. Look at his ass, even through a towel. Damn. Yep, she was right. My libido is awake now.
He picks his head up to look at me. I smile. “Hello, Mr. Storm. I’m Sloan and I’ll be doing your massage today.”
He gives me a grin. “Call me Lox.”
I nod. “Okay, well I’m going to target your problem areas for today.” I place my hands on the areas that doc pointed out in his assessment. “Oh yeah, these feel very tight. Let’s see what we can do. I’m going to go off what doc pointed out in his notes. If you want less or more somewhere, just let me know.”
“Sure.”
“Is this your first massage?”
“Yes.”
“Some people like to talk during a massage, some people doze off to sleep. It’s all up to you. Now, I’m going to put some pressure on the pain points so you just tell me if it gets to be too much.”
He kind of chuckles. “Okay.”
I shake my head because I know he’s going to wince in a minute when I hit that spot. In general, most men aren’t great patients. I laugh silently a minute later when he whimpers.
“You trying to hurt me, tough girl?”
I let out a small laugh. “Nope. Just part of it. I’ll try to go a little easier.”
I feel his body tighten. “Thanks. You know I’m an injured man after all.”
I laugh. “Sure thing.” I spend a lot of time on the injured area, then move to do the entire body. An hour later, I’m stepping out of the room for him to dress. He steps out and holy shit, he’s even hotter than I thought.
I smile at him. “Do you feel a little better?”
He moves his shoulder and arm around. “Yeah, it’s a lot looser.”
“Well, I’m sure you already do, but drink a lot of water today. Also, alternate out some heat and cold tonight. Doc was right though, you’d probably benefit from coming in on a schedule. Your body is like a car, you work it hard so it needs to come in for maintenance every now and then.”
He nods. “Yeah, I surely don’t want to hurt like this again. Where do I set that up?”
“Come on and I’ll walk you up front. We’ll get you scheduled.”
As we approach the desk, I hand Kara his chart. “Doc wants him to come in on a regular schedule.”
Kara smiles. “Okay Lox, how often do you want to come in?’
He looks at me, giving me a soft grin. “How often do you suggest?”
I shrug. “We could start with once every other week and when your body adjusts, we could back it off to every three weeks. I should probably see you again at the first of next week to work this problem area again, unless you have a fight this weekend. If you do, I should see you on Friday.”
