There were many things he loved about her, her intelligence, her wit, her strength, how she was covertly one of the kindest and most caring people he’d ever met but her ass, man he loved her ass.
Not just her ass her whole body was a wonder. She's like a beautiful blond bombshell of Amazonian proportions from her legs that never seemed to end, to her beautifully feminine curves, to her breasts that he yearned to hold whenever possible.
Yeah, she is a god damned masterpiece.
When they got together and he not only was allowed to touch her but she wanted him to he thought he might have died.
After years of friendship spent desperately trying not to think of her as the incredibly attractive woman, she is he was now allowed to not only think about her but touch her, whisper loving dirty words to her and be the one to make her fall apart underneath his hands day and night.
Ted initially held back on touching her too much because even though he wanted to have his hands on her all the time he knew that she may not want that. It had been like that with Michelle near the end, just another way he was "too much" or how he was "crowding her". So Ted was mindful that Rebecca may want her personal space. She may want to be touched when they were cuddling or making love but she may not want it as much the rest of the time.
…
Rebecca had reassured him that she loved how he touched her and whenever he did, be it the small touches around her waist that slipped lower to her hips as they walked, a hand on her thigh as they sat in her car, or simply a handheld under the table as they had drinks with their friends. Rebecca loved having him touch her but Ted persisted until one day he noticed that Rebecca had picked up the habit of taking his hands and placing them on her.
At first, he noticed the little touches on his hands how she’d grab his hand and link their fingers moving his thumb so it stroked the back of her hand as they were clasped together. Then he noticed her stepping back into his hands whenever they hovered over the small of her back making sure to make contact and finally how when he did have his hands on her in a way that would be polite or chaste she would often move them somewhere else that was neither chaste nor polite.
So yeah, after an adjustment period Ted began to touch her whenever he could, but this still wasn’t enough because they were limited by the fact that no one knew they were together yet. They had been keeping their relationship secret in the beginning simply because it was a big change and it felt too precious and important to risk by letting others into their little bubble. It had been nice to have her all to himself but the more time he spent with her the more he wanted to touch her in ways that friends just didn’t.
This was so much worse than before they were together because before he didn’t know what she looked like under those tight skirts and low cut blouses, well not for sure, he could imagine it but that was never a good idea considering she was his boss and best friend. But now, god, he’d spent so long learning every part of her body, learning what made her sigh deeply with pleasure, what made her giggle and even how to get her to make the same sound she made the first time she had his biscuits. By now in their secret relationship, he knew her body like the back of his hand.
…
One of his favourite parts of Rebecca was her ass. Not to say he didn’t love the rest of her as much. He’d always considered himself a leg man and she did not disappoint and god, her breasts were just magnificent but that in itself is how his love for her ass grew. Looking at her and you can see her beauty and multiple attributes but he sometimes felt with all her other attributes her ass got overlooked and that is simply not right in his book.
Aside from her stunning green eyes one of the first things he had noticed was her ass in that tight skirt as she bent over to make him some brown leaf water. At the time he immediately repressed those thoughts cause he was married and she was his boss but now he got to look whenever he wanted.
This in itself was a problem. He simply couldn’t look away whenever she passed him by with her hips swaying just so, or when she bent over her desk to retrieve some papers as he sat on her couch lost to the world.
…
The first person to notice him looking was Keeley. They were chatting in her office when Rebecca walked around to make a cocktail, but as she dropped the stupid stirrer thingy on the ground and bent at the waist to retrieve it his mind was flooded with the images of her bent over her kitchen table panting for him the night before after she’d caught him having a midnight snack. He snapped out of his trance only to look over to Keeley’s delighted, if not a little smug, smile. Knowing he’d been caught he quickly changed the subject to the magnitude of cocktail kits you could get and how he always thought the silver shakers looked like what Elon Musks next car would look like and with Keeley appropriately distracted he made his escape from the office.
…
The next person to notice was Beard. They were at the pub drinking after a game just having a lovely time and that’s when Keeley convinced May to play some of her music. At first, Rebecca declined dancing with Keeley in the local pub where no one else was dancing. Contented to sit in their booth pushed up against Ted under the guise of not being enough space for all of them in the booth and having to squish in, but then Keeley played the spice girls and made Rebecca do another shot and she was up and dancing with her friend.
As Rebecca swayed her hips bending over slightly to sing along to the spice girls into the imaginary microphone Keeley, her much shorter friend was holding Ted was once again lost to the world. He flashed back to when they tried reverse cowgirl position the other night and just the thought of her ass bouncing on him as she moaned her pleasure made him half-hard instantly. The song ended with the girls giggling and Ted snapped out of his flashback only to turn to Beard next to him. The stoic man simply had one eyebrow raised at him and Ted was unable to look at Beard for the rest of the night knowing he saw right through him.
Getting caught looking wasn’t so much of a big deal he realised after a while. It was just looking, he was a man, she was a very attractive woman and if he was being honest with himself all their friends knew he had been in love with her longer than he had himself. Looking was fine, but getting caught touching was a completely different story.
…
It was a Wednesday afternoon when he walked into the locker room to a loud discussion that stopped when he walked in the door. As the team and coaches started at him he felt his stomach sink and dread was over him. The first thing he noticed was the murderous look on Roy's face as his terrifying friend stared him down then the faces of his players came into view. Some curious, some smug and most almost as deadly as Roy’s expression. He wasn’t sure what was going on but he thought he’d try to at least break the tension.
“Howdy fellas, how’s everyone doing this fine hump-day afternoon?”
Judging by Roy’s growl that seemed to be the wrong thing to say.
“Well fellas I’ve gotta say it's feeling mighty odd in here today and I got no idea what the heck is going on… what were you chatting about so hotly before I walked in?”
The room remained silent for a moment when Sam spoke up “well coach…we were just talking about respecting women”
“Yep, that’s good, respecting women is a great conversation to have, and I’m might glad everyone in this room respects women” Ted ventured
“Do they?” Asked Collin
“What’d’ya mean Collin?”
“I mean does everyone in this room really respect women…cause I don’t know about that”
Ted took a deep breath and began a speech “Now boys I’d hope y’all respect women and treat them right otherwise we will be having some serious chats…” “Coach!” Sam interjected “Talkin about everyone's place on this team, now I don’t mean to be harsh…”
“COACH!” Issac boomed
“Nah let me finish, I don’t mean to be harsh but this is a serious matter and I for one...
“COACH WE’RE TALKING ABOUT YOU” Jamie yelled finally putting a stop to Ted's impromptu speech.
Ted paused for a moment in complete shock then squeaked out “What?! Me?!” “What do you mean?”
“We were talking about you and Ms Welton,” Sam said
“We knew you were gone over her but we didn’t think your disrespect her” Collin said sadly “yeah like we saw you checking her out but your like fucking in love with her and you always talk right about her, and you’re a good dude so we let it pass but we can’t let this go coach” Jamie ranted
As captain Issac gave the final word “You ain't gonna disrespect Ms Welton coach we won’t stand for it”
“Becca?” “I would never…I couldn’t…I…what?…when…” Ted took a deep breath and asked “how did I disrespect Becca?”
“Callin her Becca for one” Jamie petulantly muttered, “We saw you coach… after training you two were talking in your office looking at somefin on your whiteboard and you put your hand on her waist, which you know not that bad but not great to do you your boss but then your hand fell to her arse which is definitely bad and then…” Isaac paused not wanting to continue.
“Then you fucking squeezed her arse coach!” Jamie finished for him.
Ted still in shock could only say “I didn’t know you’d finished training yet”
This sent the locker room into an uproar with players yelling out how “that was not the point” and “you shouldn’t be touching her” “she’s your boss” “you heard of fucking consent coach?” And a whole host of threats towards their beloved coach in the name of Ms Welton.
…
Somewhere in-between this conversation Rebecca had walked into the locker room to hear the team defend her honour against her boyfriend and as she recovered from her shock and realised Ted was about to be murdered by her football team, she yelled out.
“BOYS!”
Everyone stopped turning to look at her in the doorway as she looked across the room then finally into Teds dismayed puppy dog eyes she sighed.
“It's really lovely that you boys want to defend my honour and I am very glad that in a room full of young football players we are firmly on the respecting women side of this debate but there is no need for all of this”
“Ms Welton…” Sam started before she cut him off
“No boys let me explain” with that she walked over to her poor kicked puppy dog of a man placed a hand on his cheek and another on his lower back and kissed him in front of the whole room. As she pulled back from the kiss she gave him a tap on the arse and turned to the confused expressions of her team, laughed quietly to herself then said “gentlemen, Ted and I are together, meaning I am perfectly fine with him and only him” looking into Ted's eyes lovingly “touching my arse.”
The locker room burst out into a mass sigh of relief with the boys yelling out congratulations on the relationship and lamenting that it was “about fucking time” and saying they were “glad we dint have to kill ya, coach”.
Ted sighed a massive sigh of relief, smiled at Rebecca, kissed her on the cheek and squeezed her ass.
