MISSILE TOES - A CHRISTMAS STORY andrewrue@hotmail.com Christmas Eve - what a bummer. He missed the last flight back to the States, so it was going to be a Czech Christmas this year. Not that he disliked Prague, but he preferred to be home for the holidays. He heard the now familiar woman's voice call "Namesti Republiko" over the subway car loudspeak and the train began to slow. This was his stop. He knew the area pretty well now - just past the street where the hookers hung out and then to the "Bunkr", a bomb shelter originally built for Communist Party bigwigs, but converted into an upscale bar, swept in with the tide of the "new Western culture" these people were so eager to get. He had been there once before and found the very attractive and exciting ladies to be receptive, which wasn't saying anything paramount since woman found his handsome, hunky 6' 4", 260 lb. muscular stature extremely appealing anyway, but he hoped for a special rendezvous to improve his Christmas luck so far. The inch or so of snow blanketing the streets wasn't an impediment and he quickly reached the entrance to the Bunkr, diving into what it had to offer this evening. It wasn't much. The place was practically empty. Taking off his heavy winter coat, he sat down at the bar to survey that a few couples and single men dotted the establishment, and after a couple of drinks he was ready to cut his losses and move on. But then he heard the slap, slap, slap of women's heels coming down the stairs and turned just in time to see what must have been the most attractive woman he had ever seen. She glowed with beauty. Five-foot-ten with a fine porcelain complexion and jet black hair that caressed her shoulders as she strolled. Her high cheekbones, seductive blue bedroom eyes and full red lips gave her that classic, mysterious Eastern European look that was so prevalent on fashion magazine covers. And her body was a sculpted work of art. Lean, strong muscles that were cut and tapered to give her a look of a world class sprinter, but with the flow and motion of a ballerina. Her shimmering black dress accentuated her magnificently firm womanhood and clung to her flat hard stomach and wasp narrow waist. A slit up the side of her gown rose to nearly her hip, totally exposing her incredibly long, drop dead gorgeous leg as she walked. He was mesmerized by the strength her bare leg radiated, right down to the beautifully large, high arched and muscularly thick size 11 foot that was contained by her sweeping, black slide. Her presence had such an effect on him that he couldn't help but stare, but she didn't offer even the slightest bit of interest as she walked with winter coat in hand, past the bar and to the back of the lounge. Like a schoolboy, he kept looking to where she went, hoping for another glimpse of this angel while he finished his drink. Then from behind him he heard a voice with a sexy Eastern European accent: "Are you looking for someone in particular?" and he turned to see the fantastic woman that had seized his desires, standing right beside him! He smiled a restrained smile and waited a long moment to time his response as: "Maybe for you... won't you join me?" And she did. They talked small talk as rehearsed many times before. He learned that she was an athlete in the old Soviet Russia, loved ballet and had worked for the Soviet Government, but not willing to give away her current situation. Then in a direct and tactful way she asked him to accompany her for a stroll on this special evening - he gladly accepted like it was the luckiest day of his life. She donned her long coat exposing only a bit of her bare leg and shod bare feet to the elements. He looked down at her minimal footwear and thought to be the gentleman to ask: "Are you going to be okay to walk through this snow in those shoes?" She smiled back at him and replied in her sweetest Eastern European voice, "Thank you for your concern, but I will be quite all right. I am going to be barefoot soon enough." It struck him as an odd answer at first, but then her sly wink stoked his growing anticipation and he returned: "That sounds very good to me!" and she took him by his arm as they strolled out the doors and toward the Vlatava River. They walked down narrow, twisting and deserted streets for several minutes into a part of town that was predominantly warehouses and abandoned buildings. The extreme quiet of the streets was dominated by the slow and sharp SLAP, SLAP, SLAP of her high heels flinging up against bare feet. Normally he would have sensed the peculiarity of the area, but he was totally taken by this charming, beautiful woman who lead him arm in arm. Then in what was a dimly lit alleyway with the only tracks being their own, she stopped and let go of his arm to say: "Excuse me, but I must now take off my shoes." and she immediately turned around and walked away from him with long fast strides. This was totally unexpected and he took a long moment to slowly turn around, trying to understand what she said and meant, and grimaced while he spoke, "You must WHAT?..." But sure enough, several yards away from him, he saw that tall, dark, mysterious woman sliding her big beautiful bare feet from her high heels, expertly pointing her toes into the snow and turning to face him. She stood there relaxed and perfectly balanced with her hands in her overcoat pockets , the very tips of her pointed bare toes in the snow, pressing her weight into the hard cobbles of the alley! It was a sight of contrasts that made him gulp with anticipation and curiosity. What sort of a woman was this? A classic beauty, feminine in every way - a woman of any man's dreams, yet so extraordinary in the way she was comfortably barefoot in the snow and standing on the toe tips of her gorgeous, pointed feet. Was it possible for a woman to do that in bare feet? He couldn't believe his eyes as she seductively strutted toward him so easily on those powerful baretoe pointes, her high arches and deep insteps flexing with each sexy and mighty step. "You look so surprised" she said in her sultry Russian accent, "You have not seen a woman walk like a ballerina before?" She paused a moment, not expecting a reply. "Or perhaps you have not seen this from a woman in bare feet?" He looked into her icy blue eyes, now equal to his level, and felt his heart beat a little faster with desire and some confusion as he conceded. "Well.. yes. I must say it is a little unusual to see a beautiful woman such as yourself, with your shoes off - outside in this snow, and walking like a ballerina. Don't get me wrong, I do find it very appealing, but I'm not sure what this all means." "Ah.. now you are beginning to wonder. I suppose you should be a little confused now." as she spoke in a condescending voice. "I will tell you... I use my bare feet to get what I want." He was beginning to feel unsure. Up to this point this weird encounter with this beautiful Russian woman was pleasurably exciting - he was so eager to see what might be next. But now from the commanding tone of her voice and the obviously uncanny strength in her feet, he was growing uneasy with this scene. "What do you want?" he cautiously asked. A wicked smile painted itself on her lovely face while she slowly reduced her height by coming off toe tips to plant her bare soles into the light snow. In the one moment he waited for her reply and couldn't believe how beautiful she was, then in the next he saw a white blur come from below her thick overcoat and felt a tremendous blow slam up into his face. He saw stars in the dark of the cloudy sky as his head snapped back from the impact. His body froze from the shock and surprise, but his head snapped forward and his vision cleared to see the rippled bottom of her bare size 11 hanging in the air, motionless, in front of his face. He stumbled forward, involuntarily burying his face into the waiting cushion of foot ripples. Her long gorgeous leg, fully extended from the middle of her overcoat, recoiled from the face falling into her foot. With hands still in her pockets, standing on one leg and firmly foot-holding his head, she slowly straightened her raised leg, gently pushing against his face, allowing him to regain his wobbly legs. With senses returning, all he could see, smell and feel was the bare sole of her foot. Then it vanished, and for a split second he saw that beautiful brunette smiling a wicked smile again - before he felt the high arch of her foot crashing into the side of his head from a perfectly executed roundhouse kick. He cartwheeled several meters down the alley from the impact, sliding to rest in the snow as a heap. As he shook the grogginess out of his skull he looked back to where she stood. She was unruffled, calm and dominantly smiling down at him. It was odd, but he saw red ruby lips and rosy cheeks, large sparkling ear rings and snowflakes glittering from the dim streetlight around the triangular silhouette of her overcoat. Silky smooth bare legs, together and stemming down to out-turned feet. She looked so beautiful, standing barefoot in the snow - as pretty as a Christmas tree. But what was he thinking? A mental check brought him back to his predicament. Why? What did she want? What was this all about? He didn't ponder answers as a wave of anger then seized him when he considered his bruised face and ego. How dare this woman kick him around the alley the way she did. But anger quickly gave way to fear as he saw that curiously attactive bare foot - that deadly powerful bare foot, lift and point in front of her like a ballerina's again, pressing toe tips into the pavement and effortlessly taking her full weight. He feared the insane strength of her feet now. She could use them as lethal weapons! She slowly, almost seductively moved toward him, her beautiful feet like perfect crescents with bare toe tips stabbing into the rock hard street as she floated. As he began to get up, he felt a wide, solid, two inch thick piece of plank beside him. Adrenaline began to rush into him as this beautiful but deadly threat approached him, and he picked up the heavy board easily in his heightened state. Woman or not, he was going to protect himself. "What do you want?" he yelled at her. She took a breath and replied quite matter of factly: "Hmmm... I want two things. The first I am always embarrassed to ask, but... it is that I want your money. The second is that I enjoy to use my feet on men. Especially big, strong, confident man such as yourself - breaking your will to resist... with my feet... and making you beg to kiss my toes to stop." In a moment he realized that he was going to be a kicking bag for this woman, and possibly a dead one at that. He swung the board in front of her yelling "Stay back or I will break your feet!" She laughed hard, casually taking a step forward and then launching one of her feet up into the plank like a rocket. At the same moment he tried to swing it at her, but got no further than quarter swing as he heard a loud crack and the felt the plank stinging in his hands. He looked up and saw in sheer astonishment and dread - that she had kicked her pointed bare toes right through the board! She kept laughing at him, like he was such a fool. "Oh, I am sorry for my outburst of laughter, but you swinging that wood would surely not hurt my feet." and she stopped laughing. "As I am sure you can now appreciate, I was called at the Kremlin: Missile Toes. Very suitable name for what I have been trained to do in my bare feet." The plank was pulled from his hands and he took a scared step back, but stopped from going any further by the brick wall behind him. He watched in trepidation, and yet had to marvel at her leg strength, as she easily and gracefully placed the heavy, toe skewered board down in front of her like it was a feather. She moved toward him, balancing on the toes pierced through the plank beneath her, and balletically bringing her free leg up and out of her overcoat to slowly extend her pointed foot to his face. Like a scared rabbit that had been caught, he stood trembling, looking into her eyes that glowed with absolute command and power. He felt her hard heel press into his throat and then the sole wrap around his neck like it was a hand, holding him fast. She growled slowly: "Get down on your hands and knees and watch what my feet could do to you." And he felt the powerful force of her leg pulling him down to the ground, her immovable foothold twisting his neck so that his chin pointed up while he fell to all fours. She released him from her footgrip and he dropped his head to watch her crescent curved foot retract and disappear up into her coat. Then with a loud "Crack!", her pointed toes smashed down onto the board, splitting it on impact! He flinched back in shock. Her other foot twisted and pulled itself out of the board to rise up into her coat only to come crashing into the plank, pointed toes first with a wood cracking "Thud!". The first foot then repeated its downward thrust and so she began her incredible baretoe-assault on the heavy board. Her bare feet were like jackhammers, pounding into wood and paving stone alike, piledriving faster and harder, violently smashing the board to splinters. And he watched. His conscious reflecting on the absurdity of beautiful feminine feet being so strong and invincible, and he hoped to be awaken from what could only be a nightmare. But he heard the din of wood being smashed beneath her toes-of-steel and felt bits of wood flying up and striking him from her foot fury. Reality rushed pure terror through his mind and body as his senses heighten to a level never experienced before, yet his muscles were frozen and shaking. He could only absorb this unimaginable display of female foot power before him. His arms finally gave way from his immobilized hysteria and he felt his face sliding into the snow and splinters of wood - falling closer to the fatal, mechanical piston-like motion of her board thrashing bare feet. Then it stopped. He didn't know how long it was, but he finally heard silence. Then he felt the stinging cold of snow melting on his cheek bringing him back to now. His heart was still racing from his extreme anxiety and he heard himself whimpering, yet he chanced opening his eyes to look in front of him. There they stood motionless in ballet pointe, amongst the pulp of splinters and broken wood - her terrifying bare feet! But a spark of intelligence thwarted his fear of them, and he lay still - just looking at them. He watched a falling snowflake whirl around them to finally join the rest, and he somehow felt more composed, less anxious while he stared at them. Regardless of how deadly - her feet were beautiful, and he remembered the words she spoke. Against his instincts, and with a great leap of courage, he pushed the side of his head the short distance through the snow so that his lips could touch the instep of her quarter-moon curved foot. A quick and lethal stroke from one of her imperious bare feet would have been the end of him, but they stood still, and he knew he had to worship them. He pressed his lips further, feeling her heat and smelling the sweet mix of wood, shoe leather, perfume and foot scent. He sensed that his behavior was acceptable when her statuesque foot swung forward so that more of her rippled and wrinkled sole was available to his lips. He continued kissing her foot with determined yet caring kisses. His trembling was subsiding enough so that he could reach up with his hand and gently hold the bowed arch of her foot while he kissed. The soft skin of her arch contrasted with the much harder and tougher texture of her bare sole, but he felt in awe that there was not a blemish, not any sign of injury to this stunning foot that had superhumanly toe stomped solid wood into splinters. He continued his subservitude to each foot, and would have willingly continued until signaled to do different. It was odd, but the stress built up from of his instinct to flight was slowly and powerfully surging to that of sex. They were beautiful feet in every way - magnificently curved in instep and arch to a prominent heel and sculptured ankle and covered in soft radiant skin. He wanted her femininely powerful feet like nothing he had felt before and he savored every hard wrinkle, dimple and bulge with his lips and tongue - becoming sexually charged as he went. Then her pointed, rock-like feet stepped back away from him. He followed them, crawling flat through the snow, but was met with light cuff to the side of the head from the arch of one foot. He stopped immediately and lay still, becoming fearful again. Then he heard the word: "Up!" like a command to a pet. He carefully got on hands and knees and slowly raised his bowed head to look up at her. She had a posture that was so confident in its superiority, with hands still in pockets, yet he could detect a smile of satisfaction when he saw her ever striking appearance. "Good boy." she spoke. "I think you respect what I can do to you with my bare feet very much now." And she dropped down from toe points to the flats of her soles while pulling a hand out of her coat to motion him to stand up. While he obediently got up, she extended her hand and ordered: "Wallet!" Without question he opened out his jacket to her and reached into his pocket, removing a long wallet, and placed it in her hand. She opened it and pulled out a handful of bills, tossing the wallet into the snow. She looked at all the green backs - the hundreds of US dollars he had only just changed for his return home. As she looked at the bills in her hand her expression turned from surprise to a wide smile of glee. "Oh... you are a very good boy!" and she strutted toward him. He didn't move, not sure of her intentions, but he was comforted by her obvious happiness. "Since you are such a good boy for giving me this present, that I am going to give you something..." and in fantastic move of flexibility and grace she brought her long gorgeous leg up from out of her coat and unfolded it so that it was perfectly vertical. She then swung it behind her shoulder and bent her knee so that the large, lovely toes of her wicked but beautiful foot nudged down on his forehead. She continued to say: "A Christmas kiss under my Missile Toes!" and grabbing his chin and cheeks with her hand, she pulled herself up onto the tips of her toes to land a big smack of a kiss with her full sexy red lips on his twisted mouth. She moved his face away and raised her chin up to look down at him for a long moment, then pushed him away hard enough that he staggered back against the wall as she brought her leg from behind her shoulder back down to the ground. She looked at him with an evil glint in her eye and he understood that he was extremely lucky on the night and pursuing this event any further would certainly reverse his fortune. He watched her turn and effortlessly strut on the tips of her pointed toes - over to her awaiting stiletto slide shoes. Like sliding lethally deadly weapons back into their holsters she slipped her bare feet into her shoes and with elegant stealth, vanished into the falling snow with a SLAP... Slap... slap. He slumped against the wall and began laughing with relief - he had survived this dreadful ordeal short some cash and sporting just a few bruises. Of course it was an unbelievable story that a man of his size and confidence had been mugged by a gorgeous and mysterious Russian woman who may have been ex-KGB - using her sexy, virtually superhuman bare feet, to terrorize him into a whimpering footslave. Who would ever take him seriously. It would have to be his secret, but he would remember this Prague Christmas like no other for the rest of his life. He stumbled over to pick up his wallet and walked out of the alley towards what sounded like a tram rumbling in the distance.
