If you haven’t read Curious Desires yet, I strongly recommend starting there first. The story follows Lumi’s first experiences and sexual awakening, and Vivid Desires picks up right after those events.

Reading the first story will give you a much better understanding of where Lumi is emotionally and sexually at the start of this one.

Chapters:

• Chapter 1 — Two Women in Mind

• Chapter 2 — Private Lessons

• Chapter 3 — Center of Attention

Sitting in the back of the lecture hall had its perks. If I wanted to zone out, no one would notice, which was exactly what I was doing in Philosophy that morning. Before I could drift too far into another fantasy, my phone buzzed against my thigh.

I flipped it over and felt my stomach flip when I saw the name on the screen.

Taís: Hey Lumi! Are you still good for Friday night?

My fingers hovered over the keyboard for a second too long. I didn’t want to seem too eager, even though I’d been thinking about the party ever since she invited me.

Lumi: Yes, absolutely. I’m still down.

Taís: Great. I’ll be heading there a little earlier to help set up. You okay meeting me there?

Lumi: Yeah, that’s fine. Do you need any help?

Taís: No, no. Just come and enjoy the party.

Lumi: Okay. See you Friday.

Taís: Awesome. See you there, baby girl.

After reading Taís’s last message, I stared at my phone, biting back a smile. The way she called me “baby girl” brought me back to our night together. I hated how easily she affected me, even through text. I was already counting down the days until Friday.

But later that afternoon, when I walked into Tina’s bootcamp, I realized my mind wasn’t totally on Taís anymore.

The bootcamp session was as brutal and satisfying as usual, but I had another reason for showing up.

After class, once most people had cleared out, I made my way over to Tina. She was putting weights back on the rack when I approached.

“Hey Tina, great session today,” I said, trying to sound casual.

Tina glanced over her shoulder, her eyes softening. “You were killing it. Especially on the battle ropes. I saw you pushing through even when your arms were shaking.”

My face warmed. “Thanks.”

She finished racking the weights and wiped her forehead with a towel. I tried not to stare at the way her tank top clung to her body.

“Actually… I wanted to talk to you about the assistant position,” I said.

Tina raised an eyebrow, looking mildly amused. “So you’re interested after all.”

“Yeah. It seems like a good opportunity. And the extra money wouldn’t hurt.”

She studied me for a second, then leaned against the rack with a small sigh.

“I’ll be straight with you,” she said. “I looked over my numbers, and I can’t really pay you. At least not in cash.”

My stomach dropped a little. Before I could respond, she continued.

“But before you say no, I can comp your membership completely. And I’ll give you a key so you can come in whenever you want, even outside of class hours. That way you can train on your own time too.”

I blinked. That was… actually really generous.

“That’s kind of perfect, honestly,” I admitted.

Tina smiled and stepped closer, resting her hand on my shoulder. Her fingers were warm against my skin.

“See? I’m not completely heartless,” she said, giving my shoulder a light squeeze. “So? You in?”

I nodded, maybe a little too quickly. “Yeah. I’m in.”

“Good.” Her hand lingered for a second longer before she let it drop. “We’ll start tomorrow. I’ll show you how everything works… and if you’re up for it, I can throw in some private training.”

My heart jumped. Private training?

Tina gave me a knowing look. “Only if you want it. No pressure.”

“I want it,” I said, then immediately felt my face heat up at how eager I sounded. “I mean… yeah. That sounds good.”

She chuckled softly. “Alright then. Come by after your last class. I’ll be here.”

“Okay,” I said, trying to keep the excitement out of my voice. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

As I walked out of the gym, I could still feel the warmth of her hand on my shoulder.

The next day, I rushed over to the gym right after class. When I walked in, Tina was already setting up for the evening session. She turned when she heard the door and gave me a warm smile that made my stomach flutter.

“Lumi, you’re here. Perfect timing,” she said, sounding relieved. “I could actually use an extra pair of hands right now.”

She didn’t waste any time. Within minutes, she had me helping her reset equipment and prep the space for the next class. Her voice was calmer than during the actual sessions, but it still carried that same quiet authority that made me want to follow every instruction.

It was strange how natural it felt. Every time she gave me a task, I found myself wanting to do it well, not just to be helpful, but because I liked the way she looked at me when I did.

After we finished setting up, Tina wiped her forehead with a towel and leaned against one of the racks.

“Thanks for the help,” she said, resting her hand lightly on my arm. “Now that that’s done, let’s go over what you’ll actually be doing here.”

For the next hour, she walked me through the basics: checking people in, where the cleaning supplies were kept, and how to reset the equipment at the end of the night. It was straightforward, but I kept getting distracted whenever she stood close or reached past me.

When we were done, she looked at me and asked, “Any questions?”

I hesitated for a second before saying, “You mentioned something about a private session before…”

Tina’s lips curved into a small, knowing smile. She walked over to the TRX station and casually ran her fingers along one of the straps, letting it slide across her palm.

“I did,” she said. “If you’re interested, I’ve been wanting to test out a new routine. Nothing too intense; just something a little more experimental.” She glanced at me. “It’ll be fun, and you’d be helping me out.”

I tried to keep my voice steady. “Yeah… I’m down.”

Tina’s smile widened just a fraction.

“Good,” she said, her voice dropping slightly. “Come by Friday after the last group session.

We’ll do it then… just the two of us.”

My stomach tightened at the way she said it, but then I remembered.

“Oh, I can’t,” I said, disappointment creeping into my voice. “I’m going to a party this Friday.”

Tina paused, then gave a small nod. For a brief moment, I thought I caught a flicker of disappointment in her expression.

“Alright,” she said. “How about Thursday then?”

“Yeah, Thursday works,” I said, a little too quickly.

“Thursday it is then,” she replied, her voice lower. “Don’t keep me waiting too long.”

She turned away to grab her water bottle, and my eyes followed the curve of her back down to the firm shape of her ass. The thought of being alone with her, even just for training, sent a fresh throb between my legs.

The next couple of days passed faster than I expected. Between studying for midterms and constantly thinking about Thursday’s training and Friday’s party, my mind never really settled.

When I walked into the gym that evening, the lights were dimmed low. Tina was already there, stretching near the TRX station. She turned and her eyes moved over me slowly before she smiled.

“You’re on time,” she said, her voice lower than usual. “Good.”

She walked toward me in a tight cream sports bra and black yoga shorts. I tried not to stare, but it was difficult when she stopped right in front of me.

“You ready for this?” she asked.

I nodded, even though my stomach was already in knots. “Yeah… I think so.”

Tina studied me for a moment, then said, “If anything feels like too much, just tell me. I’ll push you, but only as far as you can handle. And I know how much you can handle.”

The way she said it made my skin prickle. She definitely knew my limits in the gym, but I couldn’t help wondering if that was all she meant.

We started with a light warm-up; some jogging and dynamic bodyweight movements. Tina stayed close the entire time, correcting my form with her hands more often than she usually did during group classes. Every adjustment, every light touch on my lower back or shoulder, made it harder to focus.

Eventually we moved onto the battle ropes. My arms were already feeling it from the warm-up, but I grabbed the thick ropes and started moving them anyway.

Tina watched me for a few seconds before stepping in close behind me. Her hands settled on my hips, firm and steady, and I felt the soft press of her breasts against my shoulder blades.

“Keep your chest up,” she murmured near my ear. “There you go… good girl.”

Her praise hit me harder than I expected. For a moment I almost lost the rhythm of the ropes. All I could focus on was the heat of her hands on my waist and her soft breaths against my neck.

I told myself she was just being a good coach. That it didn’t mean anything.

But the way my body reacted said otherwise.

When we were done, Tina walked over to the TRX station and slowly ran her hand down one of the long black straps.

“We’re going to try something a little different,” she said. “Slide your feet through the loops.”

I hesitated for a second before doing as she said. The straps felt strange around my ankles.

“Now grab the handles and crawl forward until you’re fully suspended.”

I moved forward awkwardly, trying to stay controlled, but it felt unnatural. My body lifted off the ground, held up only by the straps around my ankles and my grip on the handles. Tina adjusted them higher, leaving me more suspended and exposed.

“Don’t fight it,” she murmured, stepping closer. “Just relax… and let the straps hold you.”

A warm shiver ran through me. I let my body settle into the suspension, the straps gently swaying in the dim light of the gym.

“Good girl. Just like that.”

Her words sent another rush of heat through me. My grip tightened around the handles as she guided me through the slow, suspended movements. Every time I shifted, the straps tightened around my ankles, holding me in place and making me feel strangely helpless… and intensely turned on.

I tried to focus on the exercise, but it was impossible to ignore the way my body reacted to her voice, her closeness, and the feeling of being held up by the straps at her command.

On the last rep, a soft, involuntary sound slipped from my throat.

When she finally lowered me down, my arms were shaking and my heart was racing for reasons that had nothing to do with the workout.

“How was that?” Tina asked, watching me closely.

“It was… different,” I said, still catching my breath. “But good.”

She nodded, then glanced at the time on her phone.

“Normally I’d end with some stretching, but I have to close up soon. I’ve got dinner plans.”

Dinner?

The word sat strangely in my chest. I tried not to let it show on my face, but my mind was already spinning. Was she seeing someone? Had I been reading everything wrong this whole time?

I knew I was probably overthinking it. But after everything with Taís, it was hard not to second-guess myself.

Still… I couldn’t ignore the way Tina had looked at me tonight. Or how much I’d liked hearing her call me a “good girl.”

As I gathered my things to leave, I realized I was already looking forward to the next time we’d be alone like this, even if I still wasn’t sure what any of it meant yet.
