The Training
Roman Todd is ready to start a gym routine under the guidance of his new personal trainer, Nick Fitt. As Nick asks questions to find out what Roman's fitness goals are, there are hints that Nick's goal is to get close to Roman... REAL close. Mario Torrez and Alex Christian have a light day at the gym. Just some simple stretching and maybe a little cardio afterward. Nothing too heavy, nothing too taxing. As they go through their paces, Alex can't help but notice how nice Mario's arms look. Mario's muscles ripple from the sweat, and it's got Alex too distracted to continue. Mario notices the attention and encourages it, giving Alex a look that says he might be interested. Throwing caution to the wind, Alex makes his move and Mario is more than receptive, and before they know it, quite suddenly, their light day has turned hot and heavy.
