No Rep (Madd CrossFit #1) - Lani Lynn Vale Page 0,27

as I thought about what muscle groups I wanted to hit today.

I winced when the lights flickered and idly wondered if I’d make it through the workout with lights and music, or if I would have to work out in the dark and silence.

Just as that thought hit me, a pair of headlights filled the front window.

I looked at the clock and groaned.

It was fifteen minutes after the start of class, and there was no way in hell that they should expect me to…

Fran’s cute little ass streaked past the window, and suddenly she was inside, standing in the entranceway, dripping.

I started to laugh at her tortured expression.

“Lose the shirt, girl,” I teased as I walked toward her. “Why are you here in the middle of a monsoon that’ll shortly turn into a winter storm?”

She groaned and threw the backpack that I’d given her down on the ground next to her, before stripping out of her shoes and t-shirt. “I promised myself I wouldn’t give myself any excuses. So, rain or not, I’m here.”

I held in my groan at the sight of her tanned skin that the t-shirt revealed.

She was wearing a bra that came about halfway down her ribcage, only showing off just a small sliver of her belly before her high-rise leggings took over.

I grinned at her.

She looked absolutely miserable.

“You have any shorts or anything to change into in that bag?” I wondered as I watched her shiver.

She shook her head. “I have another bra, but that’s not what’s wet.”

I thought about that for a moment. “I might have some in the office but they’re a little shorter than what I’m sure you wear.”

She blinked. “You just have those laying around?”

I snorted. “Actually, kind of. We placed an order for shirts from a screen-printing place, and they sent out some shorts as a ‘complimentary’ item. They’re actually pretty cool and all, but they’re short as fuck, and we were kind of hesitant to hand out shorts to members when there’s a high likelihood that nobody will wear them.”

She grinned. “Let’s see them.”

I went to the office and she followed me after giving Rogue a small pat.

When we arrived in the office, I started searching through the bins of shirts that we kept inside the office for when the ones that hung outside in the small ‘store’ we had set up sold out.

Finally finding them at the bottom of the pile, I handed them over to her.

She grinned when she saw the shorts.

They were black with white lettering on the ass that said “Madd CrossFit.”

“Why, exactly, did y’all name it Madd CrossFit when there are two of you that co-own it?” she wondered as she shook out the shorts.

“Because Madd CrossFit is actually a shortened version of it. And when we were doing the sign, it was expensive as fuck. It’s actually ‘Madd Taos CrossFit,’” I explained.

She grinned and turned around, heading to the bathroom.

The sight of her leggings, plastered tightly to her ass thanks to the wetness, made my dick hard, and I had to count to a hundred as I waited for her to get done.

She came back out long moments later in the shorts with her CrossFit shoes in her hand hanging by the heels, and I felt my tongue lodge somewhere in the back of my throat.

Goddamn, was she beautiful.

Like so freakin’ beautiful.

I swallowed hard and grinned. “They fit.”

The words sounded more like a croak, but if she noticed, she didn’t say anything.

“Are you working out today?” she asked.

I looked at the rain pouring down outside through my office windows that I’d yet to buy shades for.

“Wasn’t planning on it quite yet,” I admitted.

“Were you going to work out at all?” she wondered.

I shrugged my shoulders and a bright idea hit me.

“Let’s do a partner workout,” I suggested as I walked to the front door and flipped the lock. “I need to get a workout in before leaving anyway, and with it raining and cold outside, we’re not going to want to go out there for the actual workout.”

I should’ve changed the workout at the beginning of the week when I realized that the rain possibility was high, but if I did that, I would have to change every single workout from now on. The chances of the rain actually ruining the workout was slim to none. The poor weathermen rarely got it right.

“I guess I could…” She hesitated. “If it’s something I can do.”

I snorted. “You’re capable of doing almost everything. Even if we
