Katie's mind can't focus on the yoga

"This is going to be so much fun," said Carmella as they walked into the yoga studio. It was significantly brighter than the waiting room they had just come from, and Katie couldn't help but think that Carmella would have an Instagram hay day in there. Three of the walls were composed solely of plexiglass, allowing the occupants to look out over the entire convention center and offering a peek of the class to the people below. The air inside smelled faintly of lavender and it was cool, but not cold; Katie breathed a sigh of relief realizing she wouldn’t have to endure an hour of hot yoga.

In one corner of the room stood a young man, Katie guessed in his early twenties, wearing a red tracksuit emblazoned with the supplement company's logo. As people walked into the studio, they left their shoes and socks on a rack by the door and walked over to his fable. He handed them yoga mats from a bin beside him as they approached. He had dark hair that was buzzed short and a darker complexion that made Katie assume he was Latino. With his red tracksuit, he looked fit, but not bulky. In her late teens, Katie would have swooned over a guy like this, but now she hardly paid him any mind

"Oh, Katie! Over here!" said Carmella as she dragged her away from the crowd and towards one of the window-walls. Her wedge sandals knocked on the hardwood floor and echoed through the room. When they reached the plexiglass, she wrapped her arm around Katie's shoulder and held her phone out to take a selfie. "Gimme, like, a sexy-seductive face."

Katie rolled her eyes, but played along. She didn't know exactly how one would pose with a 'sexy-seductive" face, so she just mimicked what Carmella did. She had to admit that taking selfies with Carmella was silly and fun, even if they were ultimately useless. Barefoot, Andrew and Martin stood back and watched in amusement. Katie kept shooting glances back their way, just to make sure she still had their attention and when their eyes briefly fluttered away to check out another woman walking in, Katie called an end to Carmella's ceaseless snaps.

"I'm tellin' you, your account is going to blow up with shots like these," Carmella said. Her head was buried in her phone, but she followed closely beside Katie. Katie smiled and rolled her eyes towards Andrew, who just chuckled in response.

"Let's get some mats, shall we?" Katie removed her footwear and nudged Carmella to do the same before ushering her group to the slowly growing lineup at the table. She made sure to position herself in front of Andrew so he'd continue to get an eyeful of her booty.

The man handing out the yoga mats gave her and Carmella a small smile when he handed them mats. He was clearly a boob-man because he kept stealing glances at their breasts. "Enjoy your class," he said, finally tearing his eyes away from the chests for long enough to look Katie in the eyes.

"Thanks!" Katie replied cheerfully. She punctuated her response with a little bounce that caused her boobs to bounce even in her supportive workout bra. She giggled inwardly when his eyes snapped back to her large chest. Pride and satisfaction welled within her that her homegrown girls could compete with Carmella's implants. They walked away, leaving the men to get their mats and catch up, and found a section of the room where the four of them could fit two-by-two. Katie positioned her mat so Andrew could be right behind her. If this yoga class was going to be anything like the ones she'd attended before, Andrew was sure to get a great view while she bent in many positions.

Carmella sat on her mat, apparently content on waiting for the class to begin, but Katie had other plans. She immediately began stretching and limbering up while presenting her butt for any who cared to look. While she was sure she would attract the attention of any red blooded man around her, she was focused on one big fish in particular.

"Well, he was less than pleasant," said Martin when the two men walked over with their mats.

"Who?" asked Carmella. Katie continued her stretch: she was bent over at the waist and her fingers were hooked under her toes while she alternated bending each knee.

Martin laid his mat down behind Carmella. "The guy handing out mats. He really lacks the same sunny demeanor as the woman who welcomed us."

Carmella adjusted the gold chain around her waist, the soft jingling could be faintly heard above the din of everyone in the studio talking. "He seemed fine to me," she replied, "What did he say?"

"Oh nothing," said Martin as he sat on his mat, "But his eyes shot daggers at me and Andy. Isn't that right?"

From her position, Katie couldn't see Martin, but she assumed he was addressing Andrew, and the immediate silence and what followed confirmed it.

"Andy!" Martin called, "Are you going to join us?"

Andrew briefly stammered and cleared his throat. "Oh, umm, yes!" Katie heard a mat being laid down behind her. She let go of her toes and stood up slowly. Carmella was staring at her with an impish grin, and Katie winked back.

"He was smiling when he gave us our mats," Katie said, finally joining the conversation.

"Well, who wouldn't smile looking at you two?" Martin piped up.

"You're always such a smooth talker, ain't ya?" said Carmella.

The studio's doors groaned as the small woman closed them. She walked through the centre of the room to the clear wall on the other side. "Welcome, everyone!" she sang loud enough to be heard over the drone of conversation. Katie took that as her queue to take a seat on her own mat. "Thank you for joining me. My name is Zara and I will be guiding you through your practice today." She made grand gestures as she spoke and her rose-gold hair bobbed with every movement. "This class isn't meant to be complicated, so if you haven't done yoga before, don't worry just try to follow along. With that said, though, this is meant to get your heartbeat flowing, and even though it's not hot yoga, it may get a little steamy in here." A few people laughed at Zara's comment, but Katie was dealing with some heat of her own.

Butterflies fluttered in her stomach and her heart raced knowing that Andrew was behind her. Was his attention on Zara like everyone else's, or was he still idly watching Katie? Carmella was right. This felt like more than just being a good employee. Katie was developing feelings for Andrew. This whole time, she had been so focused on whether or not being his arm candy was fair for him or Jake, that she didn't stop to think about how it had been affecting her. She was actively developing feelings for her boss, feelings she should only have for Jake, feelings that weren't just romantic in nature. She felt a sexual desire growing with every passing moment.

Zara continued to talk, but Katie could hardly focus. Her thoughts kept getting drawn to the image of Andrew's eyes, taking in her form, her bust in the burgundy corset earlier, her ass in her orange leggings now. She wondered if all of this flirting and showing off had given him an erection. Did he have one now, in his loose shorts? If he did, would he struggle to hide it? Her body flushed. She closed her legs tightly and tried to focus on what Zara was saying.

"But before we get into all of that," continued Zara, "Were going to warm up with Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutation, so everyone stand up and bring your toes to the front of your mat."

Katie perked up. She was relatively familiar with Sun Salutation, and it would be the perfect way to tease her posterior at Andrew. Feelings or not, she still had a plan to carry out. She still wanted to get Andrew to buy more athletic clothes for her. After an hour of bending, stretching, moaning and sweating, he was sure to want to watch her do it again. An innocent comment would be all it would take for him to drag her to the shopping mall again. After she stood up, she looked over her shoulder and flashed a coquettish grin at her boss. He had no idea what he'd signed up for. She was eager to have him wrapped around her finger.

As Zara lead the class through the movements, Katie made sure to lag behind or jump ahead just enough to give Andrew an unadulterated view whenever he looked up. She hurried her swan dive so that he could watch her presented ass on his way down, and she stayed in downward dog until well after everyone else had begun to stand up. With nary a glance his way, Katie began to fantasize about how much Andrew was watching her. She pictured his piercing blue eyes drinking in the roundness of her butt. She wondered if his exhales were from the exercise or because he was trying to stifle a response from checking her out. Her thoughts drifted again to his loose-fitting gym shorts. Was there an obvious tent there? She felt relieved that women lacked a similar physical response to arousal, because her thoughts were anything but pure and her body was reacting accordingly.

Just the act of showing off for her boss sent thrills through her body. Sure, she loved imagining that Martin and the other men in the class were checking her out too, but the ability to make Andrew aroused with only her body made Katie feel confident. Sexy. Powerful.

After the third set of Sun Salutation, Katie felt like a hot mess. Her body was warmed up and her libido felt ready to overflow. Her hard nipples pressed painfully against her workout bra and her slit was hungrily slick. She had expected to have some fun doing yoga, but she wasn't expecting such a strong response.

"Just push through the rest of the class," Katie told herself, "Make it through the class and get back to the hotel." She knew she'd need some release if she didn't want to feel distracted and pent up all day, and with Jake unwilling to engage in any long distance fun, she was happy to take matters into her own hands.

"Now we're going to move onto what you all came here for," Zara sang to the class. There were some quiet cheers around the room. She held her hand out towards the younger man who had been handing out the mats previously and he walked over to join her. Katie noticed some of the others move around the room as if they were pairing off. What had she missed?

"Join your partner on their mat, you'll only need the one. This is Sensual Couples Yoga after all. Intimate contact is part and parcel."

Katie felt her stomach drop. Sensual Couples Yoga? She had no idea. How did she miss that? Did that mean...? She looked around. Everyone had coupled up. Even Carmella had joined Martin on his mat. They stood together, with Martin behind her, embracing the blonde in his big strong arms. Katie looked at Andrew and he looked back with his pale blue eyes. By the look on his face, she knew he understood her dilemma. He knew that she didn't want physical contact, she had made that abundantly clear last night. The look on his face no longer held the confidence that he usually exuded. Instead his expression seemed to ask a question,

"Are you up for this?"
