"Are you nuts? You want ME to lead the 
          pregnant women's 
          class?"
        Harold, the owner of the fitness club where 
          I work, 
          shrugged and leaned back behind his desk. "Fred, you know 
          that Mimi went in to have her own baby last night. Her 
          students will be here in half an hour and there's no one 
          else." He pointed to the door. "Go on, get ready. It's 
          only for a few weeks, and it won't hurt you."
        Fuming, I stalked out of his office and headed 
          for the 
          instructors' locker room. Damn! A roomful of pregnant 
          women, and Harold expected ME to lead the exercises.
        It wasn't that I objected to the job. Oh, sure, 
          I 
          expected to feel like a fool being the only man there 
          showing all those women how to work out - but that wasn't 
          the problem.
        I LIKE pregnant women. They've been my favorite 
          sexual-
          fantasy objects for years. The problem was this: How in 
          hell was I going to get through a forty-five minute class 
          in front of a half-dozen young preggies in leotards - 
          without everyone seeing that I had a colossal hard-on? If 
          they complained, I could lose my job!
        I showered with icy water and put on two jockstraps, 
          
          carefully tucking my eight-inch cock downward into my 
          crotch. I'd never before wished that I had a little one, 
          but today wasn't a good day to be hung, I thought.
        I waited in the private workout room at the 
          back of the 
          club. The girls came in by ones and twos, wearing 
          sweaters or maternity tops over their jeans or Bermuda 
          shorts. Some were just barely "showing," some were really 
          
          way out there - and dammit, they were all terrific 
          looking! I was hoping for at least one woofer that I 
          could concentrate on to discourage my libido, but there 
          wasn't an ugly in the bunch. I almost laughed. "Just my 
          luck," I thought wryly. "Stuck with a roomful of pretty 
          young foxes."
        There was Tina Margolas, small and dark with 
          HUGE tits 
          and her belly out to THERE; Bobbi Peterson, a plump 
          brunette with a world-class ass and a heartbreaking smile 
          to complement her sixth-month bulge; Carolyn Dyer, a 
          delicate-looking blonde with a baby face and a discreet 
          little tummy; Melissa Redgrave, soft and round with jet-
          black hair and a bulging nursing bra visible under her 
          blouse; and Sandy Draper, an unregenerate hippie chick 
          with a big smile, a bigger belly, and REALLY big, low-
          slung, braless tits.
        As they came in, they all blinked in surprise 
          at seeing 
          me there to greet them. "Are you our instructor today?" 
          asked Sandy, the sixties throwback. When I nodded, she 
          grinned, looking me over, and said, "Far out!" Her eyes 
          were bright and wide, and a little bloodshot; I wondered 
          if she'd been toking up before she came to class. She 
          smiled broadly and went into the women's locker room to 
          change, tossing her loose, waist-length hair. Her 
          enormous tits were swinging from side to side as she 
          turned away - I could see them even from directly behind 
          her. I was sweating already.
        The Susan Mercer waddled in, and the situation 
          became 
          hopeless.
        Susan was the class of the group. She had flame-auburn 
          
          hair, skin like fresh milk, and a face that would give 
          wet dreams to a priest. Big bedroom eyes and a full-
          lipped mouth that looked like she could suck a bowling 
          ball through a garden hose. If there was going to be a 
          who's-going-to-be-first-to-deliver contest, Susan would 
          win; she looked like she was about ten and a half months 
          pregnant to me. I've never seen a woman so pregnant 
          (later, I learned that Susan was carrying twins). Her 
          enormous tits rested on her belly like half-inflated 
          footballs, their dark, orange-sized nipples clearly 
          visible through her T-shirt. She gave me a big smile and 
          headed for the locker room, her broad ass working as she 
          walked away.
        My two jockstraps were getting painfully tight. 
          I was in 
          trouble!
        It was worse than I thought when they came out. 
          All of 
          them were in wonderful shape, even considering their 
          swollen bellies and tits. They all wore skin-tight 
          leotards, some with matching tights, some barelegged and 
          barefoot. My bad luck was holding; not one wore a bra 
          under her leotard. I was faced with twelve of the 
          fattest, darkest nipples I'd ever seen, clearly visible 
          through the stretched-out fabric of their overstressed 
          workout suits.
        Tina's leotard was black and all but transparent; 
          the 
          tiny preggie wore no tights, and her plump bare legs and 
          pretty feet would have been real cock-stiffeners for me 
          even without her distended teats and belly. Hippie Sandy 
          wore a tie-dyed outfit that was torn and re-laced at the 
          seams. The sides of her humongous teats bulged out 
          against the laces, and her long rubbery nipples pressed 
          against the worn fabric. The others wore variations of 
          the same, stretched-to-the-max leotards and fat, wobbling 
          jugs.
        Susan was the worst, of course. The woman was 
          drop-dead, 
          cum-in-your-pants gorgeous anyway - her face would have 
          looked right at home on the cover of any magazine you can 
          name - but oh, my God, was she pregnant!
        Her belly was magnificent, stupendous, awesome; 
          it pushed 
          her pink leotard outward until it looked like sheer 
          stocking-material. I could see her stretch marks clearly 
          through the distended fabric. Her tits showed about eight 
          inches of luscious cleavage, pale pillowy tit-meat 
          bulging out of her low-cut leotard like rising dough. Her 
          legs and feet were bare, and she wore no underwear at all 
          - there was no panty line at her waist or hips, and her 
          big ass jiggled freely when she moved. My cock was 
          fighting to get loose.
        I looked up at her face, and the bitch winked 
          at me, 
          smiled, then slowly licked her pillowy lips - running her 
          tongue all around her open mouth with a lascivious leer. 
          She knew, all right. She knew.
        "Well, let's get started," I said. 
          My voice cracked, and 
          the girls giggled and looked at each other knowingly.
        The workout session was a nightmare. Every single 
          one of 
          them could see my erection - I finally had to pull it 
          upright in the jockstraps, or else it would have been 
          looking out and saying "Hi" from the leg of my shorts. I 
          knew I didn't have to worry about complaints, though. 
          They were all smirking and winking at each other and 
          giggling as I tried to keep some sort of dignity and lead 
          the exercises.
        The pelvis thrusts were the worst. There I was, 
          
          practically shoving my hard cock in their faces, as they 
          rolled their big bellies at me and grinned at my 
          discomfort. Sandy started shimmying her shoulders, making 
          her enormous tits wobble and flop, and the other girls 
          soon followed suit, laughing openly as I watched their 
          bounding teats and sweated. Even Carolyn, the baby-faced 
          blonde, half-squatted and started doing a lewd bump-and-
          grind as I watched. Her hot-pink leotard was moist at the 
          crotch.
        "Having a HARD time, Fred?" she asked 
          with a grin. The 
          other girls giggled and clapped, and plump Bobbie started 
          doing a jiggly, tit-shaking belly dance as I watched. 
          Melissa, the raven-haired beauty who came in wearing a 
          nursing bra, squatted and started pumping her barely-
          covered pussy at me rhythmically, her little finger stuck 
          innocently in the corner of her mouth. The fabric at her 
          nipples was dark and wet from her milk-leaking tits. I 
          thought I was going to shoot my wad right there.
        "Well," I stammered, "You g-girls 
          are in really good 
          shape, considering..." I was on the edge of cumming in my 
          jockstrap, and I think they all knew it.
        "We like your shape too," giggled 
          Tina, eyeing my crotch.
        "Yeah!" said Sandy.
        "Come on," I said shakily. "It's 
          time for your knee 
          lifts..."
        Have you ever watched a half-dozen big-titted 
          pregnant 
          women lie on their backs and pull their knees back and 
          wide open in front of you? Their pussies were barely 
          covered by strips of material, and they were grinning and 
          bumping their well-padded pelvises up at me sensuously.
        I looked down at Susan's pussy mound and wished 
          I hadn't. 
          The crotch of her leotards was sopping-wet, and all but 
          transparent. Her fat little pussy lips were clearly 
          outlined under the filmy damp material, and there was a 
          distinct bump where her clit would be. She was obviously 
          shaved clean, her pussy hairless and smooth.
        She grinned up at me and spread her legs wider; 
          her pussy 
          opened stickily under the wet fabric, and she smiled and 
          rocked her ass back and forth...
        That did it. I shivered and shot in my jock, 
          and they all 
          saw as a wet spot began to form at my crotch, they 
          cheered and clapped.
        I felt like a total fool.
        Finally, the 45 minutes was up and I dismissed 
          them. 
          "That's it for today, ladies," I said. "See you next 
          
          week."
        Sandy blinked. "You'll be leading us AGAIN?"
        I nodded miserably. "Mimi's going to be 
          out for a while, 
          recovering and taking care of her baby. I'm supposed to 
          take over till she comes back." I looked at the women; 
          all six of them were smiling broadly. "Is that okay? I 
          could have the boss find you another female instructor, 
          if you like." I was hoping...
        "No, no, that'll be fine," said Susan. 
          Her low, throaty 
          voice gave my cock a final twitch before they ran off 
          into the locker room, giggling.
        I guess I should have suspected then that something 
          was 
          up, but I was too glad to get out of there, job still in 
          tact.
        **
        A week seemed to pass like an hour, and before 
          I was 
          ready it was time for the pregnant class again. I came 
          out of the lockers and headed for the private exercise 
          room. I was wearing only one jockstrap this time. My cock 
          was already hard, but what the hell, nobody had 
          complained, or I would have heard about it by now.
        When I tried the knob to the private room, though, 
          the 
          door was locked. "What the hell...?" I knocked. After a 
          moment, the door opened a crack, and Tina, the small dark 
          one, peeked out.
        "Is that you, Freddie?" She blinked 
          up at me with those 
          big eyes, a wicked smirk on her face.
        "Yeah, it's me," I said irritably. 
          "What's the deal?" It 
          wasn't unusual to lock the door during private sessions, 
          but it did seem a little odd to lock the instructor out.
        "We have a surprise for you," she 
          giggled. "Close your 
          eyes and come in." I shrugged and closed my eyes; got to 
          please the clients, I thought.
        She took me by the hand and led me into the 
          room, and I 
          heard the door latch and lock behind me.
        "Okay, open," she said. I opened my 
          eyes and promptly 
          came in my pants again.
        All six of the pregnant women were there, including 
          
          Susan, and they were all stark naked.
        "We decided our leotards were too... restricting," 
          Tina 
          said with a giggle. She rubbed one pretty bare foot on 
          the other and smirked up at me. "You don't mind, do you?" 
          
          she said as another most spot spread out over the crotch 
          of my leotards.
        They were standing around me in a semi-circle. 
          Tina was 
          frankly posing, showing off her pale, swollen belly in 
          profile. Melissa and Bobbie were warming up with some 
          "windmills," their heavy teats swinging freely as they 
          bent forward and touched their toes. Sandy was practicing 
          some really raw belly-dancing moves, half-squatting with 
          her hands behind her head and pumping her pelvis 
          sensuously. Her tits swung and wobbled heavily as she 
          hunched, eyes closed dreamily. Carolyn was just standing 
          and watching me, weight on one leg, hefting one big tit 
          idly and thumbing her nipple.
        Susan was down on her hands and knees, her profile 
          to me; 
          her belly brushed the mat, and her huge nipples swung 
          barely an inch above it. As I watched, she smiled, turned 
          away from me, and got to her feet.
        That sounds simple enough, doesn't it? She got 
          to her 
          feet. But it was the most devastating thing I'd ever 
          seen. First she planted one bare foot out beside her and 
          lifted her heel, posing her bare leg gracefully - and 
          incidentally showing her shaved, gaping pussy from the 
          rear and framing her huge hanging belly and tits with her 
          arched leg. She smiled back at me and winked. Then she 
          planted the other foot, with her hands still on the 
          floor; she was squatting low and wide open now, showing 
          off her hairless crotch outrageously. Her hairless pussy 
          lips flared out like flower petals, her fat ass cheeks 
          split wide to show her pink, twitching asshole - and her 
          enormous belly was still touching the floor. She smirked 
          back at me over her shoulder as if to say, "Like it?" and 
          
          finally, slowly, stood, making sure that her bare ass 
          stuck out at my face as she straightened.
        "Your back gets sore when you're this pregnant," 
          she 
          muttered as she turned to face me. I stared at the woman 
          standing there naked in front of me; she was the most 
          beautiful, sexy thing I had ever seen. Her tits and belly 
          were unbelievably huge, her pouting pussy mound 
          protruding vulnerable and bare. I was staring shamelessly 
          at her intimate shaved slit. I looked up; she smiled.
        "I'll b-bet," I quavered.
        "Come on, Freddie, let's work out!" 
          said Sandy. Her eyes 
          were like road maps, and she smiled vacantly. Stoned for 
          sure, I thought.
        "Except that we want you to work out like 
          us," said 
          Melissa. "Bare ass naked!" Her voice was soft and 
          childlike; she brushed her mass of black hair from her 
          face and licked her lips eagerly.
        "Now, wait a minute," I began.
        "No, Mel's right," said Bobbie. She 
          was plump, like I 
          said, but her nude body was curvy and delicious, just 
          right. "It wouldn't be fair if you were dressed - it'd 
          make us feel self-conscious."
        The other girls all got bashful expressions 
          on their 
          faces and pretended to be embarrassed, nodding and 
          covering themselves with their hands - as if their hands 
          could cover anything. Susan's hands couldn't even cover 
          her nipples. Bobbie stepped forward and pulled off my T-
          shirt.
        "Not bad!" she exclaimed. The other 
          girls smiled at my 
          muscles, and I grinned and flexed a bicep for them. What 
          the hell...
        She pulled down my shorts and my jock together, 
          and my 
          cock sprang out. "Wow!" "Mmmm..." "Look at 
          that!" They 
          breathed hushed exclamations at my ridged equipment, and 
          Bobbie touched the tip of my cock reverently. Her finger 
          came away sticky, and she licked it. "Ooo," she said, 
          "that's a big one!"
        The others all approached, and for the next 
          few minutes I 
          had to stand there with my shorts and jock around my 
          ankles while twelve soft hands felt and caressed my bare 
          cock and balls. Don't ask me how I held back - watching 
          those heavy, milk-swollen tits swinging and slapping each 
          other as they crowded around me, feeling those taut, 
          swollen bellies against my ass and hips. I guess the fact 
          that they'd just made me cum only a few minutes before 
          made it possible.
        Every one of them, it seemed, just had to squeeze 
          the end 
          of my cock; when Susan did it, I said "Beep" like a 
          bicycle horn, and she laughed.
        "Time to get started," said Tina. 
          She seemed to be the 
          leader of the group, even though she was the smallest 
          physically. The girls lined up in their usual positions 
          as I pulled my sneakers and socks off.
        "You mean you want to EXERCISE?" I 
          asked. They all 
          grinned.
        "That's what we paid for," said Bobbie. 
          "Come on, let's 
          go!"
        Those bitches made me go through the whole routine, 
          all 
          45 minutes. I was in hard-on hell, watching them jiggle 
          and flop and bounce, all of them buck naked and covered 
          with sweat; my boner stood out like a flagpole. Their 
          eyes were glued to it the whole time, blowing kisses at 
          it, licking their lips...
        You can't imagine the frustration of watching 
          six 
          beautiful, naked, very pregnant women doing sensual 
          exercises, all of them deliberately teasing you. Lifting 
          and fondling and jiggling their huge, heavy tits, 
          stroking their bloated bellies and plump bare ass cheeks, 
          bumping and grinding their sweaty pussies at your face. 
          My cock was dripping onto the mat before we were done, 
          long skeins of clear fluid dangling from the tip. They 
          watched greedily, all but drooling for it.
        Soon it was time for the knee lifts again. They 
          were all 
          on their backs, holding their knees back and wide open in 
          "fuck-me" position, rolling their asses in unison.
        "Oh, ggoddd..." I moaned. My dick 
          was pulsing. Susan's 
          shaved hole was so fat and bare and wide open, and she 
          was HUNCHING it at me...
        "Give it to me first," said Sandy. 
          I looked at her, she 
          was stretching her hairy pussy open with her fingers, 
          breathing hard. It was gleaming with her juices.
        "What?" I said, not quite believing 
          what I'd heard.
        "That's right," Tina said. "We 
          drew straws, and Sandy 
          gets it first."
        "Go ahead," said Bobbie. Her voice 
          was muffled; she was 
          sucking her own tit, and a little milk was running from 
          the corner of her mouth. Her other nipple was leaking a 
          thin stream of white, and her fingers were busy in her 
          pussy.
        "Please..." Sandy's thumb was circling 
          her clit as she 
          peeled her hole wide.
        "I don't know..." I hesitated.
        "Our husbands are all pretty much ignoring 
          us, Fred," 
          said Melissa softly. She, too, was stroking her crotch. 
          "We need it, bad. All of us. We talked about you last 
          week and all agreed, you know... if you like what you 
          see... well... you can... you know."
        I knelt down in front of Sandy, took my cock 
          in my hand, 
          and started rubbing it against her sopping lips. She 
          gasped and twisted, still holding herself open. "Please," 
          
          she said again, and aware of the others watching us, I 
          slid it in.
        She was fever-hot and slick as oil. I pumped 
          her deep and 
          slow, all the way in and all the way out; I knew that 
          slamming it in fast and ferocious like I wanted to wasn't 
          advisable in her condition, so I held back and gave her a 
          long, slow, gentle fucking. Her big, loose tits sloshed 
          liquidly between her arms as she continued to pull at her 
          pussy lips, holding herself open for my sliding cock.
        Sandy shuddered and came grimacing and hissing 
          after only 
          a short time, and I realized that these girls were, if 
          anything, hornier than I was.
        "I'm next," squealed Bobbie delightedly, 
          even before 
          Sandy had completely stopped shivering. "Are you good for 
          some more?"
        "Just try me," I grinned, and moved 
          over to her. Bobbie 
          was the chubby one, and as I popped my wet cock into her 
          sparsely haired cunt, the phrase "fat little ball of 
          fuck" popped into my mind. She was, too; she shimmied and 
          jiggled and quivered gaily on my bone as I opened her up, 
          enjoying the slick rippling of her tube on my cock head. 
          "Harder," she gasped, and I bounced against her carefully 
          
          as she tensed in orgasm and pulled her ankles back nearly 
          to her face.
        "Now me," cried Carolyn. The baby-faced 
          blonde closed her 
          eyes demurely and bit her lip as I rubbed my cock head on 
          her little pin clit. I teased her for a long time - I 
          wanted to see this bashful babe begging for it. She did, 
          too; before I slipped it in, sweet Carolyn was moaning, 
          "Oh baby, please, fuck me, fuck me out - fuck out my 
          pregnant pussy with your big thick dick! Fuck me, 
          please!" I fucked her harder than I did the others, since 
          she wasn't so far along. She was a screamer, it turned 
          out, but her voice was muffled by the other girls' hands 
          over her mouth as I rammed it to her orgasming hole.
        Tina was next. The tiny little thing was so 
          pregnant, I 
          was almost afraid to put it in, but she got into a 
          doggie-style position that was irresistible. Her pussy 
          was slippery as soap and tight as a handful of rubber 
          bands. She came almost instantly, her tits dangling and 
          swinging wildly till I grabbed them and held on - then 
          she just shivered, vibrating like a tuning fork and 
          making a high, keening sound as she fought her way 
          through waves of orgasm.
        Maybe you're wondering how I managed all this. 
          Have you 
          ever been so hard you couldn't cum? I guess that was what 
          happened to me. I fucked all of them but Susan, and still 
          didn't get off; it happens sometimes. Not that I 
          regretted it at all. Oh, no. Six delicious pussies 
          nestled around my cock for almost half an hour? Would 
          you?
        Melissa was next-to-last, and it was a good 
          thing. I 
          suspect they knew that Susan turned me on the most and 
          kept her for last - either that or she liked the idea of 
          taking sloppy sixths.
        Anyway, Melissa had me sweating and straining 
          before she 
          squirted milk all over my chest and came, her cunt-
          muscles clenching on my bone like greasy fingers.
        Melissa got to me, and I felt that I was getting 
          close. I 
          looked up, and there was Susan standing over me, her 
          enormous belly in my face. She shook her head. "Not 
          here," she said.
        I shrugged, disappointed. "Well, that's 
          ok," I said. I 
          figured she meant that she wasn't going for it. Trying to 
          be cool, I looked at my watch. "I guess that's all for 
          today..."
        "Oh, no it's not," said Susan, her 
          voice smoky and 
          insinuating.
        "Come with us," said Tina.
        I followed them, cock stiff and shining from 
          all their 
          juices, into the private dressing room next to the 
          classroom. I began to grin as they led me into the small 
          group shower. The session wasn't over yet.
        "It's kind of hard to wash in our condition," 
          smiling as 
          she turned on the water, "so we've been kind of soaping 
          each other up. Want to join in?"
        For the next half hour, six naked preggies soaped 
          me all 
          over, and I soaped them. I don't guess I'll ever be that 
          clean again - they all gathered around and squirmed 
          against me till we were all slick with slippery lather. 
          My hands had all the soapy tit they could feel, my cock 
          was continually stroked and caressed by slippery girl-
          fingers, and my ears were filled with delighted feminine 
          giggles. Six slick, swollen bellies fought to get near 
          me, and I did my best to grab and feel and stroke all the 
          naked skin I could reach. It was so much fun I went soft.
        Finally, they eased me down until I was lying 
          on the 
          warm, wet tile floor. You can't imagine the view from 
          there. They all peered over their huge tits and bellies 
          at me, grinning - then Susan awkwardly straddled me, and 
          my cock sprang to iron hardness again.
        She was crouching over me, glistening and naked, 
          her 
          hairless, gleaming pussy-mound discreetly split open. As 
          I watched, the others helped her squat, holding her up, 
          and her hole gaped wider as it approached. It was swollen 
          and fiery red, thickly coated with juice.
        She was finally poised with her soft pussy lips 
          kissing 
          the tip of my soapy bone. "You want me?" she breathed, 
          watching my face.
        "Oh yeah, baby... Give it to me..."
        "You want me?" she asked again, rotating 
          her ass slowly. 
          Her sloppy pussy slid around and around on my cock head. 
          She was teasing me, like I teased Carolyn.
        I knew what she wanted to hear. "Oh yeah, 
          baby, fuck me - 
          fuck me with your luscious pregnant pussy, your bare-
          shaved pregnant fuck-hole... Get down on it and fuck, 
          pump me off, I need it so bad..."
        She dropped all the way down on me and I moaned. 
          Susan's 
          pussy tube was hot as an oven and squeezed and milked my 
          bare cock like a sucking mouth. She smiled down at me and 
          began to bounce gently, her bare pussy slapping against 
          me wetly.
        She was so beautiful; I stroked her legs adoringly 
          and 
          slid my hands around and around on her belly; I reached 
          up and took her huge nipples in my hands and squeezed 
          them like I was squeezing oranges. She shuddered and 
          screwed her ass down on me harder, breathing faster.
        I was determined to outlast her. The others 
          weren't 
          helping, though; the sight of them bending over us, so 
          many huge, wet, soapy tits swinging in my face, so many 
          big bare bellies...
        We were grunting and straining, struggling to 
          hold back 
          our orgasms; Susan's beautiful face was distorted, 
          congested with her oncoming climax, teeth gritted as if 
          in pain. She hunched and fucked hungrily as the other 
          girls helped her. Her pretty fingers clutched desperately 
          at their hands as they held her up so that she could get 
          the cock she needed so badly.
        I reached down under the curve of her bloated 
          belly, and 
          stroked her clit. Susan cried out, her mouth opening 
          helplessly as I milked and massaged her fat little 
          button. Her pussy began to make juicy squishing sounds on 
          my cock as she pumped on it.
        We gave up at the same moment. She sat heavily, 
          all the 
          way down on my cock, as I grunted and started blasting 
          her out. The long, ripping squirts of sperm jetted into 
          her grasping, clutching hole as we looked into each 
          others' eyes, squinting through our blistering orgasms 
          and making some kind of a connection; I had one of her 
          huge nipples clutched in one hand and was squeezing her 
          bursting clit with the finger and thumb of the other. 
          Beautiful Susan jerked and spasmed for long, long seconds 
          on my spurting cock as I gave her all I had.
        The other girls cheered, stroking and touching 
          both of us 
          as we came together. Afterward, they helped Susan get off 
          me and washed her gently and carefully - and then started 
          on my cock.
        Sixty soapy fingers on your cock right after 
          you've cum - 
          Brrh! What a feeling!
        The next week, I showed up a little early for 
          the class, 
          and Harold called me into his office.
        Uh-oh, here it comes, I thought. Someone had 
          an attack of 
          conscience, and I was about to get fired. Oh, well...
        "Bad news, Fred," he began, and I 
          nodded resignedly. The 
          jig was up, all right.
        He cleared his throat and went on. "Listen, 
          Mimi's 
          decided that she wants to stay home and take care of her 
          baby. Do you think that you could take over the pregnant 
          class, uh, permanently?"
        I just stood there, gaping. Harold raised his 
          hands, 
          pleading.
        "Look, I know it's a pain in the ass. I'll 
          give you a 
          raise - an extra twenty a week. How about it? I'm really 
          in a jam here."
        I may be a jock, but I'm not stupid. "Well, 
          okay," I said 
          reluctantly. "I guess I could do it."
        "Thanks, Fred," he said, heaving a 
          sigh of relief. "Well, 
          you'd better get in there. They'll be here soon."
        As I turned to leave, he spoke again. "Oh, 
          yeah, one 
          other thing.
        Last week, the class ran pretty long."
        "Yeah, it did - " I was about to apologize 
          when he cut me 
          off.
        "That's good, Fred, giving them extra help 
          like that. 
          Give the customer more than she pays for, and she'll keep 
          coming back for more.
        Think you can keep it up?"
        I nodded, grinning all over. "Yeah, Harold, 
          I'm pretty 
          sure I can do that." He gave me an odd look, then went 
          back to his ledgers.
        I headed for the locker room to change, stopping 
          off at 
          the desk to pick up some extra towels. Might need them 
          today, I thought. I unzipped my gym bag and looked at the 
          three bottles of cooking oil I'd brought.
        Should be enough...
