Yoga with dl_greenarrow

[chloesullivan]

It had been a very long day, but Chloe wasn't exactly looking forward to getting back to Oliver's. Oliver had challenged her to Yoga. Just once, he said, I'll show you how it works. She really had had no choice but to go for it, mostly because Chloe wasn't one to back out of a challenge.

She had stopped by her apartment to pick up her car and some more clothes and had taken the time to change. She was wearing the best exercise-friendly clothes she could find in her closet: A pair of loose fitting shorts and a tank top, she figured that would work.

Chloe opened the elevator gates and stepped out of it, "let the torture begin," she announced dramatically when she saw him.

She opened her eyes and glanced over at him then sat up, adjusting her top again, apparently it had shrunk since next time she had worn it because it kept riding up. Or maybe she had gained weight... Chloe frowned a little then shrugged it off.

Oliver reached out and took her hands gently, helping her rise to her feet and moving through the next few beginner's poses until he felt she had stretched enough to move onto something a little more involved. "All right, the next pose is called the cat pose," he told her.

He got down on the floor once more, putting his hands palm down on the mat, and resting his knees on the mat, as well. "Then just slowly arch your back a little at a time. It helps strengthen your spinal cord."

Chloe's eyes went straight to his arm when he got into the pose and she blinked, nodding and moving into the pose too. She had to reach down and pull her top up since her cleavage had become a little too revealing in the process.

As she arched her back she sighed, feeling her spine stretch slowly.

He glanced over to make sure her positioning was correct so she didn't wind up pulling a muscle and got an eyeful of cleavage before she she managed to adjust her top. He hung his head for a moment, closing his eyes. The mental image that flashed through his mind certainly involved Chloe and the yoga mat, but it didn't have a damn thing to do with yoga.

I'm going to hell, he thought, gritting his teeth. "How are you doing?" he asked, studiously not looking over at her.

She opened her eyes when he spoke and glanced over at him, nodding, "okay, I think, that felt good." Chloe answered quietly, she wouldn't admit anytime soon, but her body felt.. looser. Relaxed. And they weren't even done yet.

He smiled. "Good. That's how it's supposed to feel. And don't worry, eventually you'll be so flexible you'll be able to put your feet behind your ears," he teased. "That'll be a lesson for later."

"Eventually?" She raised her eyebrows at him and grinned, "don't get me wrong, I can see why that would be useful, but I'm pretty sure I agreed to one section of this..." She stopped herself from wincing, or sighing, but she had done it again...

Oliver chuckled involuntarily. "Yeah, but you're enjoying yourself, aren't you?" he couldn't help but tease. Which would have been more humorous if he wasn't just making it worse on himself.

Chloe pursed her lips together and raised her eyebrow, smirking, "I will reserve judgment until we're done, it can't be this easy..." she told him, squinting suspiciously.

"Believe it or not, some things really are easy as they seem," he told her, his voice growing quiet. Like being around you.

Chloe raised her eyebrows slowly, getting out of the pose and sitting back on her heels, "What can you do?" She asked him with honest curiosity.

His eyebrows furrowed a little as he came out of the pose, as well. "Sorry?"
