Red and Tom had chosen the opening date for the new gym and were stepping up the pace to get things completed. Red busily oversaw the last of the carpet installation and painting. Tom arranged for the closing of the current gym and the moving of the equipment with only a day and a half lost in closing. The new location was bustling with activity. Red had reviewed resumes and applications to begin interviewing an assistant manager and cafe staff. Most of the new employees were excited about the new location and improved business but none applied for the jobs. Red sat in the upstairs office overlooking the workout floors below and browsed through resumes. He was particularly lost in thought involving one of the painters and failed to notice a man standing just inside the doorway. One of the carpet layers pointed to the upstairs and directed the man to the office.
"Excuse me, but are you the manager?" Red was slightly startled by the voice and looked at the unexpected visitor. The man standing in the doorway was an older gentlemen who was in very good shape and very attractive. He was dressed in a simple leather jacket and jeans. Despite his gray hair and age, probably in his 50's, the man was well built with plenty of muscle evident in the snug jeans. Not to mention a healthy basket.
"Yes sir, I'm Red. How may I help you?" The man walked in and firmly shook the shorter man's hand. Red felt a hot heat shoot up his arm and felt his dick stir.
"I'm a member at the old place and was curious about the new location and changes. My membership is due and I wasn't sure if it was going to be right for me. You don't mind if I ask some questions, do you?"
"No, sir, come in and sit down. Take off your coat. Hopefully, I can answer all your questions and keep you interested in staying on as a member." The man followed Red across the room, unzipped his jacket and hung it over the back of the chair Red had indicated. The snug sweatshirt showed off a very trim, muscular chest with prominent nipples. "I'm Richard. I've been going to the other gym almost ten years. I liked the place and hope you will continue to offer the same amenities as before."
"Well, we are bringing most of the current equipment and have purchased a lot of new stuff to augment what we had. What in particular did you like?'
"I like to concentrate on the free weight area but balance it with machines to give my joints a break once in awhile. And I run and walk, so I am assuming this level is the running track, the old place didn't have that."
"No, it didn't. Let me give you a little pre-opening tour to give you a feel for the place." Red showed him out to the track level on the third floor which also housed the offices. It was a brightly-lit atrium area with lots of natural light to make things cheery. The man seemed to be very impressed with that feature. As Red showed him that there was also an elevator allowing access to all levels the man's smile broadened. Red was slightly distracted by the hunky painter he had been watching but refocused his energy on Richard. This area on the second floor also houses the aerobics and exercise floor on one side and the cardio equipment on the other. Two walls of the aerobics room were mirrored, one wall had huge windows for light and the last was home to a stretching bar with windows looking at the cardio setup across the mezzanine. The man nodded.
"Wow, there's a lot of space for cardio, more than there is now."
"We have lots more equipment on order and it will be delivered next week." Richard stood close to Red and smiled at the room. "The first floor houses all of the other equipment. When you come in the door, there will be a small, healthy cafe to your left and the front desk and store to the right. The exercise room is open with all of the usual equipment. Richard followed Red to the main floor and listened intently as Red pointed out where everything would go and what all was to be there for member use. He also pointed out an are designated for warm-up stretching and ab work. Red noted how nicely the man's muscles moved with each step.
"And all this space through here, is the free weight area, approximately 6,000 square feet. The machines were separated from the free weights by this glass wall just for a noise management issue and also to discourage people from carrying the weights all over the place.
"Good idea. I hate hunting for weights and hope you will encourage members to keep things neat and orderly."
Red turned quickly and Richard walked into him. The hard firm muscle was now very evident. "Yes sir, we believe in keeping things where they belong. It is not only courtesy but also a safety issue. Staff will also be responsible for keeping things in place. After all, management sets the tone. And over here, will be the pool area this coming summer. The owner and his, uh, partner, won't start construction until the spring when the weather improves." Red indicated an outside window wall where the lot had been cleared and staked.
"Downstairs will be the locker room and showers." Red showed Richard the stairway and the elevator location and also a ramp for wheelchairs, which wound throughout the facility for people with disabilities. Architecturally it added grace to the design and allowed members even better access flowing from one area to another. "We have tons of locker space, a TV room for relaxing, a massage room, and steam and sauna. Those areas will be close to the wet elevator for the pool. Men and women will have separate facilities."
"Oh, so guys can be nude in the steam and sauna."
"If they wish." Red felt his face redden and body temperature rise. He walked Richard through the maze of lockers and rooms and watched as Richard smiled. The man seemed pleased.
"You guys have done a very nice job. Do you mind if I hit the restroom?" They had come full circle and were near the urinals. Red motioned for Richard to help himself and was about to walk away.
"Now what equipment will you be buying and will the rates change?" Red couldn't answer the question without standing close by and seeing the long, thick, dick Richard pulled out of his snug jeans. It seemed to be slightly full and got a bit hard as Richard shook it.
"Well, I can show you the stuff we are purchasing. And the current rates for members are the same. That wouldn't be fair to up it on them now. Richard followed him back to the office and past the hunky painters who were making Red very hot. "So, you been lifting 10 years, eh?"
"Oh, I've lifted all my life, but since I retired, I make it the focus of my keeping healthy."
"Retired?" Red looked at the distinguished, good-looking man.
"I retired early, so don't put me over the hill yet. I was a doctor and head of administration locally. I didn't feel like killing myself working and then drop over dead. Life's too short. So, when my partner died, I decided to take time for myself and enjoy life. I like to do things now and then to keep myself busy but don't really want anything to run my life anymore."
Red showed Richard the plans for the gym and the equipment that had been purchased. The two men chatted for nearly two hours and Red felt himself really liking the man. As they sat at a table looking at the equipment brochures, Red felt Richard's knee bump against his a couple of times. He couldn't help but feel attracted to the man but figured it wasn't smart business to pry.
Red explained how they were looking for staff and Richard offered to refer someone for the cafe manager's job. He teased Red and asked if he would be willing to consider him as a part time assistant manager.
"You serious?" Red looked at the man intently.
"Perfectly serious. I have a lot of background in health matters and management and could make a good contribution to this place." Richard smiled and leaned back in the chair. Red noticed how the sweatshirt fell over his nicely sculpted pecs and how the jeans seemed to have a lopsided bulge.
"Well, Tom would have to agree but I don't think that would be a problem. He'll be here later, if you want to talk with him.
"Sure, but maybe I should go home and change, something more professional."
"No, don't bother, we are planning gym T-shirts or pullovers as the company shirt, so it isn't a dress up kind of job."
"And you don't have to worry about benefits for me, since I am still covered by the hospital from my old job. But I might ask for a membership."
"We were including memberships to the club as a given. Tom will be happy to talk with you. Make yourself comfortable while I see to some things with the painters and installation guys." Red got up and patted Richard's shoulder. He felt good, solid muscle on the man and the crotch was definitely hiding a big dick. He quickly signed off on the last of the paintwork and organized the installation men to begin the new equipment set-up. He hung up the phone in what was to become his office on the main floor and went back upstairs to talk with Richard. Just as he started up the stairs, Tom walked in the front door. He was still in his jeans from the morning's job and pulled off his motorcycle jacket. The big beefy chest strained against the T-shirt underneath.
Red explained about Richard, and Tom smiled saying it sounded like a good deal to him. He vaguely remembered Eric having mentioned him once or twice in a very positive manner. He followed Red's beefy butt up the stairs and into the office. Richard sat at the desk reading about the new equipment. He stood up to shake Tom's hand and Tom felt his eyes check him out.
Tom let him sit behind the desk and interviewed him from the visitor's chair. The whole time they chatted, Tom knew Richard was scanning his body. Tom liked what he heard from Richard as a plan for being assistant manager and stood up to shake his hand.
"Welcome to the Dog Pound Gym." Richard hesitated to get up to shake Tom's hand. When he did, Tom clearly saw the outline of a hard cock in the snug jeans.
"Thanks Tom. I really think I will like it working with you and Red."
"And occasionally my partner."
"Oh, I thought you were the owner?"
"I am. I meant my lover, Eric Stout."
Richard's eyes opened wide. "Eric Stout is your lover?"
"Yes, sir. Do you know him?"
"Yes, I do. I used to be his doctor before retiring and turning my office over to Tom Pratt. I know all about Eric, and likewise, he knows all about me. I had heard about you but never connected the name. I must say, you are one hot man and make a really great compliment to Eric."
"Then you have no problem with this place being gay owned."
Richard laughed. "Buddy, you are talking to one, old-time faggot musclehead from way back. I am ecstatic about working with you guys."
"Terrific. But don't tell Red you're gay. I want to pull his chain. Come on, follow my lead." Tom motioned for Richard to follow him downstairs and they found Red marking out where the equipment was to go on a mover's chart.
"Well, Richard is going to be your assistant Red." The fireplug built man turned around and shook Richard's hand and smiled widely.
"That's great. When can you start?"
"Whenever you need me to."
"How about now?" Tom interjected and put his arm around Richard's shoulder as he walked him to the table where the floor plan was sitting. Tom's hand moved down the man's back and cupped his firm butt. "What do you think about keeping good traffic flow through here to the shower areas downstairs?" Tom leaned against the table and used his leg to position Richard behind him with his dick against Tom's ass. Red watched suspiciously.
Richard leaned over Tom and traced the aisle he thought should be left for members to walk through the free weight room. He slowly humped against Tom's ass as if not realizing he was doing it.
"Guys, you're messing with me aren't you?" Red walked back over as the two men looked up at him blankly.
"What?'
"The, uh, his, your butt, you copped a, don't do this." Red felt his face redden quickly.
"Do what? I don't understand?" Tom stood up slightly and undid his jeans letting them slide down and expose his butt to Richard. He very slightly rubbed his beefy butt against the man's crotch.
Red looked at them through tiny slits for eyes.
Richard collapsed against Tom's back laughing hysterically. "I can't do it, that is the most beautiful butt I have ever seen." He let his hands run over the muscular butt as Tom clenched his cheeks. "And Red's look is so cute, but confused. I have to walk away before I shoot a load." Richard went to step away but Tom stopped him and turned around, placing the man in full liplock.
Red picked up another rolled floor plan and smacked Tom in the head as the two men broke into giggles.
Richard held onto Tom's hard body, "Do you guys do this to each other all the time, play around like this?"
"Yeah, we do but you don't have to worry, we'll behave around you." Tom slipped his arm back around Richard's shoulders to thank him as Red scowled at them.
"Oh no, and leave me standing here with a hardon, no way." Richard pulled back slightly from Tom and grabbed his stiff dick.
"Then let me welcome you to the Dog Pound Gym." Red stepped around the table and unzipped Richard's jeans allowing his big, thick uncut dick to flop out into Red's hand. "I believe a handshake is in order."
"No, no. Don't do that, I'll really cum." Richard tried to pull back but Red's grip was too tight. He had Tom's big schlong in his other hand and slowly began jacking off the two men. Red dropped to his knees and began biting on the thick foreskin. Tom pulled off Red's snug T-shirt and Richard grabbed Tom's hard butt. "Holy shit, I'm cumming.'
"I think Red wanted to consummate the deal." Tom felt Richard fall into his arms and unload a mass of cum all over Red's melon size pecs.
Richard relaxed against Tom and let his hand rub over Red's shaved head as the man continued to suck on the tender cock. "I hope I never get caught in the showers with you two."
"Why not? Tom held Richard as he trembled from Red's blowjob. "We're both bottoms and you have a mighty nice piece of meat there doc."
"I'm not as young as I used to be, just seeing you two naked in the showers could do me in for sure."
"Oh, but what a way to go." Red smiled up at the two men, cum spread over his chest, he nuzzled Tom's fat cock. "By the way, I didn't get lunch yet."
