Tara - Part 2 By TDB, writing_hard@yahoo.co.uk Tara hits the weights... "Nope. Still too light." I said, tossing aside another couple of dumbbells. They clattered to the floor and Danny jumped nervously out of their way - they may have been too light for me, but they were heavy enough to leave my big brother's toes decidedly flat. "What's next?" I asked briskly, swinging my arms to and fro. "Erm...the ‘25-lb' ones. Don't you think they might be a bit..." I cut Danny off before he could finish, "Heavy?" I laughed. "Aren't you forgetting something, big brother?" I flexed my biceps, just to underline my point. Danny sighed. "Okay - you're the boss. Here you are...nngh!" "Never send a boy to do a girl's job!" I said, shaking my head. "Stand aside, ‘big' brother." Red-faced, Danny stood aside and I lifted the dumbbells myself and began to curl them. They were the perfect weight - not so much that I could barely lift them, but enough to make my arms work hard. Three sets of twelve reps later, and my biceps were pumped and looking more generous than ever... Danny and I had been down in our parent's shed for about half an hour now. As sheds went, it was large; no bad thing, because it had to hold a lot of equipment - assorted exercise machines, a considerable weight rack and various other fitness-related paraphernalia. Since the discovery that morning of my burgeoning muscles, I had headed down here (accompanied by my awestruck brother, 13-year old Danny) to experience my first workout. A quick warm-up on the treadmill had been followed by a search for a weight substantial enough to test my young biceps. Now that had been achieved, I began to perform a series of exercises, each of which involved similar experimentation before I was satisfactorily challenged. The plan had been to use Danny as my dogsbody (a role he was only too happy to slavishly fill) but it swiftly became apparent just how strong I was and the poundages necessarily got heavier and heavier. Danny soon became incapable of setting up weights, and was reduced to just spectating; it felt good to know that as I heaved and grunted, he was completely in my thrall. He was male, three years older than me, yet could only marvel at my muscular superiority. Now that I was surrounded by all this equipment, I was able to work each individual body part - and work it hard! Muscles - pushed to their very limits for the first time - began to tremble and swell slightly; the occasional puffy vein snaked beneath my skin as blood pumped around my body at a furious rate; sweat poured down me - yet instead of growing tired I felt like pushing myself harder and harder. It was such a rush; feeling so strong - and it felt amazing to push my muscles until they were left exhausted. Two hours passed before I eventually came to a halt - there was simply nothing left for me to try. I still didn't feel too fatigued; in fact, a warm glow suffused my body, radiating through my muscles. "Try flexing now, sis." requested Danny, eyes glued to my body. Only too happy to oblige - and in fact a little curious as to how I now looked - I stood in front of the wall-mirror and hit a double-biceps pose. Earlier that morning my biceps had each been a little larger than a tennis ball, and had each one small vein running beneath the skin. Now they were inflated; indeed, looked like they were going to burst, and the veins had grown puffier. "Can I squeeze one?" gulped Danny, and I nodded assent. He raised his shaking hand and placed it over my young bicep - his fingers wouldn't go all the way around. I pumped it for him and my brother could only goggle as he felt the power pulse beneath his hand. I began to look at my legs, which had grown more defined - in fact, my calves were now slightly striated - when Danny cleared his throat, somewhat nervously. "What...what about your pecs?" Again, I was eager myself to discover just how pumped they had become, and willingly flexed once more, with a "Here we go!" There was an instant ripping sound as my pecs bulged far beyond the confines of my already-tight shirt, which fell to the floor in shreds. Danny's eyes widened and I instantly placed my hands over my chest to protect my modesty - or at least that was my original intention. As soon as I touched the rippling masses of engorged muscle that were my pecs, I couldn't help but begin to massage them slowly, fingers sliding over my sweaty flesh. Danny mouthed wordlessly as I moaned softly in pleasure, "Ooh! They're so biiiig! So hard!" I threw my head back and closed my eyes as I moaned again, "Ooh...my nipples are tingling!" Struck by a sudden thought, I opened my eyes, looked back down at my chest and attempted to make my pecs ‘dance'. Even beneath my hands, it was obvious that my little endeavour had met with success. "And one, and two, and one, and two!" I was so happy that I laughed out loud. Danny was by now gurgling softly. Struck by a sudden shyness, I turned my back to him. "Danny," I said, sternly, "give me your shirt." But Danny wasn't listening, "Wow, sis! Your back's all rippling!" "Danny! Shirt!" I ordered, and this time he obeyed. I was thankful Danny liked to wear baggy T-shirts; although, baggy for him was certainly not baggy when transferred to my ample frame. Whilst only just loose enough to obscure the muscularity of my chest and arms, it was long - ending below my waist, with sleeves down to my elbows. I turned back to Danny, who didn't seem to care that he was topless, so intent was he on admiring my legs. "Danny!" I waved my hand in front of his face, "Up here, Danny!" Seeming to come out of a sudden reverie, Danny shook his head and finally made eye contact. "What's got into you?" I asked. "Er...well...you're pretty amazing, y'know." I smiled sweetly, "I know." "Yeah...yeah...those are some amazing muscles...sexy...muscles..." "Oh, do you really think I'm sexy?" I asked, delighted. "Yeah," mumbled my brother, "even sexier than those Olympic gymnasts on the TV...though they wear leotards..." he trailed off. "Ha!" I exclaimed, "There's no Olympic gymnast with a body like this! I'm so muscular, put me in a leotard and my muscles would probably tear right through! No 10-year old girl has ever been this muscular! And I've only just started pumping iron - imagine what I'll be like in a few weeks time! You think I'm strong and sexy now - just you wait!" I was interrupted by a knock at the window - both Danny and I span round to find our next-door neighbours waving at us. A muffled shout of "Welcome home!" could be heard through the glass. I beckoned for them to come in and the door swung open. "Danny! Tara! How are you?" asked one of the twins - Luke, as he burst in with his brother, Chris. The twins were both thirteen and were wildly competitive, especially between themselves. They had lived next to us for as long as I could remember, and were both in the same class at school as Danny. After competition between themselves, they loved nothing more than trying to outdo Danny. Try as they might, they couldn't match him in the classroom, but on the sports field...well, you already know that my big brother's pretty scrawny. Let's just say they were faster, had more stamina, were stronger, and were generally better at every sport under the sun than my brother, and leave it at that. Come to think of it, my brother had probably started his press-up regime at camp as an attempt to get closer, in terms of physique, to them - but, looking at all three of them now, I have to say he got nowhere near. Luke was the slightly taller of the two - an excellent swimmer, with a real swimmers build - slender but lean. Chris was stockier than his brother - a 100m sprinter, with sturdy arms and legs capable of exploding powerfully at the sudden sound of the starter's pistol. Danny stood, topless and looking rather embarrassed as the twins bounded in. "Wow, Danny! Been working out?" laughed Luke. "Perhaps not!" sniggered Chris, staring at Danny's puny body as my brother crossed his arms and blushed. "Actually," I chimed in, "I have." "Ha!" snorted Luke, "Girls don't work out - they're too weak!" "Are you a girl then, Danny?" teased Chris. "She has been working out, and she's stronger than me too!" said my brother, defiantly. "Yeah, but Danny," said Chris, "a girl could beat you in an armwrestling match!" Luke howled with laughter. "So, you want an armwrestling match, do you?" I asked, poking Luke hard in the ribs. "What? With a girl? No way!" came the reply. "Scared of losing?" I taunted, "And to a little girl, as well!" Chris looked offended, "Go on bro - shut her up. She's too cocky for her own good, she is!" "I am only a weak little girl, after all..." I said, mockingly - but Luke didn't pick up on my tone. "Fine! If it'll prove to you that boys are stronger once and for all, I'll do it!" "Danny," I winked at him, "I'll clear a space and you move the table over here." Danny grinned happily, "Okay, sis!" I smiled sweetly at the twins. "Just let me move this exercise mat." I purred. Deliberately turning my back to them, I stood on tiptoes, legs slightly apart, and bent at the waist, stretching down to the floor. I tensed my legs and held the position far longer than necessary, pretending that I was fumbling for the mat. My little tennis skirt was only short and I knew that my ass was exposed - two half-globes of pumped-up, meaty muscle straining at the material of my tight, white little panties; I knew that my hamstrings were taught and my calves defined; I knew that I was giving them an eyeful. "Wow!" I heard one of the twins whisper behind me, "Look at that, Chris!" There was a long pause and I bounced slightly on my toes; I could feel my muscles bulging. "That's...that's just...fat..." Chris breathed back, rather uncertainly. Danny approached with the table and I pulled the exercise mat out of the way. "Now then, gentlemen, who's first?" I grinned... TO BE CONTINUED...
