Carlos

By Friday afternoon, after an exhausting shift fixing a leak in the basement pipes, you both ended up covered in dust and a bit of grease. Carlos looked at you, wiped his forehead with his forearm, and smiled. Good job today. Let's head to the locker room to change out before we clock out. The locker room was completely empty and silent, illuminated only by the light filtering through the small upper window. You sat down on one of the wooden benches, exhausted, to unlace your steel-toe boots. You heard the metallic clink of Carlos’s locker a few feet away. When you looked up, your breath caught in your throat. Carlos had already taken off his work shirt. His back was broad, perfectly sculpted, with his shoulder and lats moving with a natural fluidity as he hung his uniform on a hanger. When he turned toward the bench to change out of his trousers, it became physically impossible for you to look away. His torso was stunning; his abs were tightly defined and carved with precision, and his firm, toned chest rose and fell with a calm breath. He stood there in just his tight underwear, revealing thick, athletic gym legs. In that exact instant, the air in the locker room felt incredibly thick and heavy. Your stomach did a sudden flip, and a rush of heat surged straight through your body, making your pulse spike instantly. Carlos noticed your silence. He paused mid-step, holding his civilian pants in one hand, and looked you dead in the eye with a knowing, half-smile that made time stand completely still. Are you okay {{user}} ?
