It was another beautiful day in Paradise. The spa resort was full of tourists, mostly Americans, that came here to relax and retreat from their crazy lives. From couples that were trying to fix their relationship to loners that just wanted to enjoy themselves, everybody was enjoying their time. The Paradise Spa Resort was the place to go in Dominican Republic and Seth Rollins couldn't be happier to work there. Leaving Davenport was the best decision he ever took in his whole life and he was living the dream. He'd been working as a massage therapist for Paradise for over two years now and it was the best job he ever had.
"Ready for another busy day?" Seth heard behind him.
He didn't have to turn around to see who said that. He'd recognize that thick British accent anywhere. His best friend Paige wrapped her arms around him and pecked his cheek, making him smile. Seth was so blessed to have her here. She started working for Paradise a year after he did. When he told her there was a spot for her, she jumped on the occasion. She was a massage therapist as well and they were the dream team. They were the best there was in Dominican Republic.
"Always ready!" He told her as he pressed her arm with his hand.
Paige sat next to him on the bench, smiling. She was always so happy and bubbly, Seth had no choice but to smile back at her. He saw the schedule for the day and it was really going to be a long day. They could barely catch a break, but Seth loved his job so he didn't mind at all. Every morning, before work, he'd sit on the same bench outside and he'd be looking at the big thermal pool. The view was simply incredible and it was very relaxing since there weren't many people at this time of day.
"Any hotties out there?" Paige asked.
If he was sitting here to relax, Paige was there to hunt. She was actually hunting for him even though he never asked for anything. Seth laughed and looked around to see if there were any hot man around.
"What about this one?" Paige asked as she subtly pointed a tall guy with dark short hair.
"Not bad, but not my kind."
"Don't be so picky Rollins, it's already hard enough to find you someone who's playing in your team."
"That one is cute." He said as he pointed a red-headed man. "For you I mean."
"Come on, you know I'm with Alberto now." She said as she playfully pushed him.
Paige was dating a tennis teacher that was giving lesson at the hotel. The Paradise Spa Resort was connected to the Blue Lagoon Hotel and Paige met Alberto at the latest Christmas party they had where the staff of both places were invited. Seth didn't like him at all and thought he was way too old for his best friend but if she was happy with him, he couldn't do anything about it. She may be younger but she was mature enough to make her own decision. Seth scanned the bath with his big brown eyes, looking for someone he might find interesting.
"What do you think of the cute blond dude near the waterfall?" Paige asked.
He didn't need to ask her which one she was talking about because he already spotted him. The man was lying down in the bath with a goofy smile on his face, eyes closed, his blond hair was wet and he had slick it back. He was enjoying the hotness of the water and Seth couldn't stop staring at him.
"Not your type either, huh?" Paige teased him.
She'd seen the way her friend was looking at the dirty blond guy and she knew love at first sight when she was seeing it. Especially with all those stars Seth had in his eyes and his reddened cheeks. The man suddenly opened his eyes and stared back at him with his beautiful blue eyes. Seth's heart beating a little bit faster in his chest when he smiled at him. The blond man was the one who broke the stare first when a dark-haired girl joined him. She sensually kissed his lips and Seth felt jealousy crawling in his body.
"God damn it!" Paige cursed under her breath. "Why is it that every time you find an attractive man, he has to be straight?!"
That was indeed the story of his life. Most of the clients they had at the spa were couples and it was very hard for Seth to find someone interesting in there. He'd had a couple of hooks up with some man over the last two years, but not as much as he wanted.
"Guess I'm just very unlucky." Seth said as he risked another glance at the blond guy.
His girlfriend was straddling his hips and he had his arms wrapped around her, his eyes still on Seth, making the latter uncomfortable.
"Maybe he's bisexual!" Paige said as she stood up.
"Or he's looking at you." Seth replied.
"I highly doubt it. Come on heartbreaker, we have work to do."
Seth took the hand his best friend was offering him and followed her inside. He took one last look at the man with the blue eyes and felt a knot in his stomach when he saw the smirk he had on his face as he was looking back at him.
Seth finished cleaning after his fifth client of the day. He was starting to feel the exhaustion and promised himself to ask Paige to rub his back once they get back home. He couldn't give himself a massage so he'd use his best friend magic hands to his advantage. That was one of the good things about having a massage therapist as a friend. Seth was always tired after his lunch break. Sometimes, when his day wasn't as full of appointment, he would use one of the relaxation rooms and sleep for half an hour, but today, his schedule wouldn't let him. It was one of the most popular time of year and they were fully booked for the next three days.
"Have you seen him?" Paige asked him as she was folding the towels on her side of the room.
"Nah…"
On his lunch break, he tried to see that blue-eyed man again but he was nowhere to be found. He was tempted to take a peek inside the sauna but he wasn't allowed in there during work time and he didn't want to look like a stalker. That guy had a girlfriend, he was clearly not into Seth so that would simply be a loss of time.
"What's my next appointment?" Seth asked, wanting to change the subject.
"Couple." Paige answered as she checked the schedule that was pinned on the board beside her.
Seth loved doing couples with Paige but he would've liked to catch a break and he heavily sighed when his friend told him he was booked until 3 o'clock. He was preparing his table when he heard knocks on the door. Paige told the customer to get in as she was finishing her folding task.
"Hi!" A girl said as she entered. "Is it here for the massage?"
"Yes, you're in the right place, you can come in." Paige said as she smiled.
Seth turned around to greet their clients. His heart skipped a beat when his eyes laid on the dark-haired girl and her super hot boyfriend. The man from the thermal bath was standing in front of him and still had that sexy smirk on his face.
"C-come in." Seth stuttered as he felt his cheek getting red again.
He didn't need eyes behind his head to know that Paige was probably laughing her ass off. Seth gathered his thoughts and told them they could change and take places on the tables.
"We'll be back in ten." Paige said with a bubbly voice as she grabbed Seth's hand to lead him outside.
The two massage therapist made their way back into the room and Paige put some relaxing music on while Seth was trying to keep himself together. He stared at the man's back for a second, thinking that he was so muscular and lean. What was he doing on his table? He should've took place on Paige's. When they were doing couples, he would always get the girls and his best friend the men because apparently, guys didn't like to be touched by another one of their kind. Paige gave Seth a look and he immediately went to her table to give his massage to his crush's girlfriend.
"I'm sorry, did you take thirty minutes or an hour?" Seth murmured to his client.
The dark-haired girl's head immediately rose and she had that confused look on her face.
"T-thirty minutes." She stuttered. "Hum, I'm sorry but do you think your colleague could be the one giving me the massage. I have a very sensitive back and I'd prefer if she was the one doing it."
Seth looked at Paige in shock as she was heading to her own table.
"No problem." She said. "As long as it's OK with your…"
"Oh my fiance is fine with it, we already discussed it, right Dean?"
"As long as you can take care of the knots I have in my back, I don't give a shit about who's the one doing it." Dean snorted with his head still in the table.
"Don't worry sir, Seth is the best we have." Paige said as she stuck her tongue out to tease her best friend.
Seth rolled his eyes and went back to his own table, hands shaking a little bit. It's been a while since he'd given a massage to a man and especially one as hot as Dean. He thought to himself that he had a beautiful name when he remembered that he was engaged to the girl that was on the table besides him. His heart stung as he took the bottle of oil on his station. He poured the liquid in his hand and rubbed them together to warm it. Dean let out a groan as soon as Seth's hand touch his back even though he didn't even do anything yet. He slowly started rubbing, immediately spotting the knot the man was talking about. After he'd applied the oil everywhere on his skin, he focused on the upper back and the shoulders.
"Fuck yes…" Dean moaned as he was rubbing a sensitive spot.
His voice was smooth and sent shivers down Seth's spine. Every time he was applying pressure to the knots in his back, the man was moaning and groaning, saying that it felt so fucking good. Seth was getting uncomfortable and Paige wasn't helping. As she was giving her massage to her client, she was looking at him and she was silently laughing. She was making suggesting faces every time Dean was making a sound and Seth was annoyed by her.
"Oh yes, right there…" Dean whispered with a husky voice.
Seth's cheeks were getting redder and redder because a part of him loved hearing him moan like that. Knowing that Dean was completely naked under his towel made him so hot and he was so lost in his dirty thoughts that he didn't hear Paige said that the massage was over. He didn't want it to be over. He wanted to rub this man's back all night long, but a sudden high pitch voice reminded him that this man wasn't single and that he was straight.
"Thank you so much!" She shouted at Paige.
"That was the best massage I've ever had." Dean let out in a sigh.
"Told you he was the best." Paige teased, earning angry eyes from her friend.
"We'll let you change back into your clothes." Seth said as he cleaned his hands. "Leave the towel in the basket on your way out please."
"Yeah sure." Dean said as he raised his head to take a look at him. "Thanks."
His amazing blue eyes took his breath away for a second. Why did he have to be that hot? Seth simply nodded and quickly got out of the room, followed by Paige. He couldn't stay another minute near him as dirty thoughts were submerging his brain.
