The air in the Melbourne Stadium was thick enough to chew. It wasn't just the oppressive, baked-in Australian summer heat that radiated from the empty seats and the massive stage lights; it was the sweat. Eight hours a day, for two days straight, I’d been breathing in the air that Aespa exhaled. It was a fan’s dream, and a roadie’s nightmare.
Three months of my life, slaving away at a dead-end cafe job, had gone into the VIP ticket fund. The best seat in the house, a hi-touch, the works. Then my mate, Dave, who knew a guy who knew a guy, had offered me this gig: local crew for the Aespa tour stop. Ten minutes after he told me, I was dragging his arse to the most expensive Korean barbecue joint in the city, my entire savings account evaporating in a sizzle of marinated beef and soju. Worth it. Every goddamn cent.
The reality was a grinder. Moving equipment, laying cables, and for the last two days, being a glorified human statue on lookout duty while the girls practiced. It was one thing to see them on a screen, polished and perfect. It was another to see them up close, their bodies glistening, their practice shirts sheer with sweat, clinging to every curve and muscle. They were machines. No, not machines. Machines don't have that look of fierce, burning determination in their eyes. They were something else. Something more than human.
And I was having a harder time keeping my nine-inch dick from pitching a tent in my crew-issue cargo shorts than I was standing in the godawful heat. The sight of Karina, in particular, was a specific kind of torture. Every sharp, powerful movement, every slick glint of light on her collarbones, every strand of dark hair plastered to her neck… I’d excused myself to the grotty backstage toilets twice already, my hand fumbling at my zipper, my mind filled with images of her, my breath catching in my throat as I came into a wad of toilet paper.
Today was the second day, the final dress rehearsal before the concert tomorrow. The energy was frayed, everyone running on fumes. When their manager finally called it, the collective sigh of relief was almost a physical force. Giselle, Winter, and Ningning practically fled, their staff trailing behind them like exhausted ducklings. Everyone was gone.
Everyone except Karina.
She stood center stage, hands on her hips, staring at her own reflection in the giant mirrors. The track for "Good Stuff," her solo performance, had just ended. She shook her head, a flicker of pure frustration crossing her beautiful face. "Again," she said, her voice cutting through the sudden silence.
The stage manager shot me a look that was half-apologetic, half-get-fucked. He muttered something about overtime and headed for the exit, leaving me, a couple of security guards posted by the outer doors, and Karina’s driver who was waiting in the cavernous underground garage.
So I stood there. And watched.
For two more hours, she practiced. Same section, over and over. A spin, a body roll, a step that was just slightly off. The sun had long since set, and the stadium was a cavern of shadows, illuminated only by the stark glow of the work lights on stage. Sweat poured off her, soaking through her black sports bra and tiny shorts. Her body was a work of art, all long, toned limbs and a waist so small it looked like you could wrap your hands around it twice. She was a goddess punishing herself for a mortal flaw.
Finally, she stopped. Her chest heaved, her breath coming in ragged gasps. She stood there for a long moment, just breathing. Then, she wiped a forearm across her brow, her eyes scanning the empty space. They landed on me, a solitary figure leaning against a stack of road cases.
She walked towards the edge of the stage, her movements loose with exhaustion. She was so close I could see the fine tremor in her thighs. "Everyone gone?" she asked. Her voice was husky, deeper than I imagined.
"Yeah," I managed, my own throat suddenly dry. "Everyone went home. It's just… well, me. Some of the security are outside, and your driver's waiting in the garage." I gestured vaguely. "Should I, uh, call him for you?"
She tilted her head, considering it. Her eyes, dark and intelligent, did a slow, deliberate sweep of my body. From my worn-out work boots, up my legs, lingering for a second on the noticeable bulge in my shorts that I was failing miserably to control, then to my chest and arms. I was well-built, spent most of my free time in the gym, and I knew I looked decent, but the way she looked at me… it wasn't just an appraisal. It was a calculation. A wicked, predatory glint sparked in the depths of her eyes.
"No," she said, a new decision made. "Not yet. I need to… relax a little. Unwind before I go back to the hotel." She took a step down from the stage, now standing only a few feet from me. The scent of her sweat and perfume was dizzying. "You," she said, pointing a slender finger at me. "Do you know how to give a good massage?"
I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. My brain was short-circuiting. Me? Give a massage to Karina?
Before I could form a single coherent syllable, she turned. "Follow me."
My legs moved on their own, a puppet on a string. She led me through a maze of corridors backstage, her footsteps echoing on the concrete floor. We stopped outside a door with a gold star and her name on it. Her dressing room. She pushed it open and gestured for me to go inside. I stepped in, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird. The room was neat, dominated by a makeup table cluttered with expensive-looking products and a portable massage table set up in the center.
I heard the click of the lock behind me. "Need some privacy," she said, her voice a low murmur right behind me.
I turned, and my brain promptly melted.
She was undressing. Right in front of me. Her sweaty practice top was pulled over her head in one fluid motion, revealing a plain black sports bra underneath. Then her thumbs hooked into the waistband of her shorts, and she pushed them down her long, toned legs. She was standing there in just her bra and a tiny pair of black panties. I was frozen, a statue of pure, unadulterated shock. My hands were clenched into fists at my sides, my dick so hard it was actually painful.
A small, breathy laugh escaped her lips. "You look like you've seen a ghost," she teased, her lips curling into a smirk. "I need to be naked for a proper massage. The oils ruin the clothes." She reached behind her back and unclasped her bra, letting it fall away. Her breasts were perfect, round and high, with small, dark nipples that were already hard from the cool air. She hooked her thumbs into her panties and slid them down, stepping out of them. She was completely, utterly naked. The little triangle of dark hair between her legs was neatly trimmed. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my eighteen years of life.
She saw the expression on my face and her smirk softened into something a little more amused, a little more… predatory. "Is this your first time doing support staff?" she asked.
I could only manage a slow, jerky nod.
She laughed again, a soft, musical sound. "Don't be so surprised. Seeing naked idols is one of the perks of the job. It's completely normal." She walked over to the massage table, her hips swaying with a natural grace that was hypnotizing. "If you're smart, you'll try to be on dressing room support tomorrow. You'll see more naked bodies than you've seen in your entire life." She climbed onto the table, lying on her stomach. She grabbed a thick, white robe from a nearby chair and draped it over her lower body, just covering the swell of her arse. "The oil's over there," she said, pointing to a small table. "Get started with my back and shoulders, will you? They're killing me."
I swallowed hard, my throat clicking. My hands were shaking as I walked over to the table. I picked up the bottle of massage oil. It was warm. I poured some into my palm, the scent of sandalwood and vanilla filling the air. I looked down at her. Her back was a smooth, flawless expanse of skin, the muscles on either side of her spine tight and defined. She rested her head on her folded arms, her face turned away from me.
"Go on," she prompted gently. "Don't be shy."
I took a deep breath and placed my trembling hands on her lower back. The skin was so soft, so impossibly smooth, and burning hot to the touch. I swallowed again and started to move my hands, spreading the oil in long, slow strokes up her back, towards her shoulders. Her muscles were like steel cables under the delicate skin. I worked my thumbs into the flesh of her shoulders, feeling the knots of tension there.
"Mmm, that's it," she sighed, her voice muffled by her arms. "Right there. You're stronger than you look."
I followed her instructions, my hands becoming a little steadier as I focused on the task. I worked my thumbs into the knots of her trapezius muscles, feeling them slowly yield under the pressure. I was no expert, but I’d had enough sports massages from footy injuries to know the basics.
"Yeah, right there," she breathed, a soft sigh escaping her lips. "Harder. Don't be scared to use your body weight."
I leaned in, putting my weight behind my hands, pressing deep into the muscle tissue beside her spine. Her back arched slightly, pushing into my touch.
"Mmm, fuck... that's the spot," she moaned, the word sending a jolt straight to my groin. My cock, already straining against the fabric of my shorts, throbbed in response. The sound of her saying 'fuck' like that, all breathy and pleasured, was a thousand times hotter than hearing it in a song.
I worked my way down her back, my slick hands gliding over her oiled skin. The scent of sandalwood and vanilla was mixing with something else, something deeper and more primal. It was the scent of her. Her body heat was immense.
"Okay, now my sides," she instructed, her voice still low and husky. "Run your hands up my sides, from my hips all the way up to my armpits. Long, slow strokes. Feel the muscle there."
My heart hammered against my ribs. This was it. My hands moved from the small of her back, sliding around her ribcage. With each upward stroke, my thumbs brushed the soft, generous swell of the side of her breast. I tried to keep my touch clinical, professional, but it was impossible.
As my hands glided up again, she let out a sharp, shaky breath. Her body tensed for a split second, then relaxed into a soft tremor. "Don't stop," she whispered.
I did it again, slower this time. My knuckles grazed the delicate skin. Another soft moan. This wasn't just a massage anymore. The air in the room felt thick, electric. My own breathing was ragged.
"Good," she murmured, her voice muffled. "You're a fast learner. Now... go lower. My lower back is killing me. And my glutes. The dance is all in the hips."
My hands traveled down, tracing the curve of her waist until they reached the flare of her hips. The white robe was a thin barrier over her arse. "Underneath," she commanded softly. "The oil won't get through the fabric. Don't worry, I don't bite. Unless you want me to."
Her last words were a playful purr that made my balls ache. My hands, slick with oil, slipped under the hem of the robe. I made contact with the bare, firm skin of her arse. It was perfect. Smooth, tight, and so hot it felt like it was searing my palms. I kneaded the firm muscle, my fingers digging in.
"Mmmph, yes..." she moaned, pushing her hips back slightly into my hands. Her sounds were getting louder, more uninhibited. "Just like that. Work that muscle... right at the top of my thigh."
My fingers crept down, millimeters from the heat of her core. I could feel it. I was so close. The robe had ridden up, exposing almost her entire backside to my view. I was mesmerized by the sight of my pale hands massaging her tanned, perfect skin.
Suddenly, she shifted. "Okay," she said, her voice a little breathless. "That's good. My turn over."
She pushed herself up, turning over onto her back in one fluid motion. The white robe, which had been covering her, was now bunched around her waist. Her bare breasts, the ones I had only grazed from the side, were now fully exposed. They were even more perfect than I'd imagined. Her nipples, a deep rose colour, were pebbled and hard, pointing directly at the ceiling.
My brain just stopped working. I just stood there, staring like a complete idiot, my mouth hanging open.
A slow, wicked smile spread across her face. She saw the effect she was having on me, and she was loving it. "What's wrong?" she teased, propping herself up on her elbows. "Never seen a pair of tits before?"
I shook my head, unable to speak. My gaze was locked on her chest.
"Well, they're not going to massage themselves," she said, her voice dropping to a seductive whisper. She gestured to her stomach. "Start here. The tension connects. If my back is sore, my front is too."
My hands moved as if possessed. I poured more oil onto them, my fingers trembling so badly I almost spilled it. I placed them on her flat, toned stomach. Her skin was like warm silk. I started to rub in slow, wide circles.
