Slave Girl Challenge, Part Five by brooksie (brooksie@pacificcoast.net) Two young women fight for the right to serve. The combination of strong emotions - lust, shame, helplessness, frustration - had a powerful effect on Katherine. She found herself drawn to Elaine in a way she'd never before known. She wasn't a submissive, that was certain. In fact, as her fighting skills improved, she found herself growing hungry for opportunities to test them out, in hopes of subduing her opponents and bending them to her will. But when it came to Elaine, Katherine's mind and emotions went in the opposite direction. They made love for hours, with Elaine giving the instructions and Katherine obeying them. For the first time in her life, Katherine not only accepted her inferior status but soon found herself eagerly anticipating her next lesson with Elaine. They began spending time together outside the lessons too. Katherine often cooked meals for them and served Elaine first, waiting to be given permission to join her at the table. Afterwards, she cleared away the dishes and made coffee, drinking hers curled up at her master's feet while Elaine stroked her thick, lustrous hair. Elaine had conquered Katherine, but it was clear to the writer she held a certain grip over the martial artist too. Sometimes Elaine would have her flex her big, muscular arms while she kissed and licked her high, hard peaks. There were times during their lovemaking when the smaller woman simply couldn't help herself. Overcome with admiration, Elaine would worship her muscles, kissing them, complimenting them, revealing how much she truly lusted after Katherine's wonderful body. Katherine remained Elaine's pupil, and lover, for over a year. Outside of their formal instruction, Elaine would occasionally subdue Katherine and force her to submit, but it was more a playfully suggestive game than anything else. Katherine had fully accepted Elaine's superiority over her and had come to believe this was an experience she needed to have. As well, she truly admired and respected the wiry, hard bodied martial artist. Among the dominant women Katherine was associating with, Elaine reigned supreme. Her fighting skills continued to develop and her success in the competitive arena soon placed her among the top few women in the world who competed in mixed martial arts competitions. Katherine attended Elaine's competitions whenever her schedule allowed. As a celebrity, she drew a fair bit of attention. But she and Elaine, by mutual agreement, kept their relationship secret, giving no indication they even knew one another. "I'm a big fan. It's great to see women competing at this level. They are astounding athletes, and I truly admire each and every one of them," Katherine told the media, when asked about her attendance. So far, women's MMA fighting had been largely unorganized, but a group of promoters had begun to organize a series of all-women's tournaments. Plans were being made for a series of competitions to establish the first-ever women's world champion. There was no question Elaine would be a contender for that title, but in order to achieve such a goal, she would need to dedicate herself totally to her training. Meanwhile, Katherine was beginning to enact her plan to drop from the public eye. Instinctively, she felt it was time for her and Elaine to say goodbye. Besides, she wasn't submissive by nature. She had no regrets about adopting that role in her relationship with Elaine, whom she truly considered a superior woman. Even though their relationship had become less one-sided as it progressed, Katherine knew it couldn't continue. Katherine watched the falling snow outside her window, as she prepared dinner. She thought about how little she'd miss the east coast winters, but how much she'd miss Elaine. They ate, went for a walk, and stopped for hot chocolate before returning to Katherine's apartment. The evening had a bittersweet tone. Gone was the inequity between them. Realizing this would be their last time together, Elaine wanted none of Katherine's worship on this night. In fact, it was her who seemed to be having difficulty accepting they were about to part ways. In a startling reversal of roles, Elaine broke down sobbing at one point, begging Katherine not to leave. Katherine held the smaller woman tightly in her strong arms. They kissed, and cuddled, eventually agreeing it must end. "You have your dream," Katherine reminded her, "to be the first ever women's fighting champion. You have to pursue it. It's your destiny, it's in your blood." "I know," sniffled one of the world's toughest women. "What are you going to do?" "I'm not exactly sure," Katherine answered, "but I know I have a lot of exploring to do." "Will you keep wrestling?" Katherine smiled. "Of course. I love it! The feeling I get overpowering someone, subduing them and forcing them to submit to me...it's so delicious. And I have you to thank for teaching me how to do it so well." "Did I?" "Did you what?" "Teach you well." Puzzled, Katherine shifted around so she could see Elaine's face. Staring into her eyes, she discerned the intent behind the question. Wordlessly, they began to grapple, soon ending up on the floor. Elaine was on her back and Katherine quickly took advantage, swinging her heavy body on top of the smaller woman. She used her long legs to tie up Elaine's in a powerful grapevine. Using a move Elaine had taught her, Katherine crossed her forearms, so she had her left hand clamped around her instructor's left wrist, and vice versa. She stretched Elaine's arms out and smiled down at her. "Do you submit?" "Never," Elaine answered defiantly. "Very well. Maybe this will change your mind." Katherine let go of Elaine's wrists and cradled her head with both arms. Holding her victim tightly, she pressed her breasts into Elaine's face, cutting off her ability to breath. In a real match, Elaine would be jamming her thumbs into Katherine's ribs, but such an escape move would be out of place in this sensual submission match. In this situation, Elaine was left with no other option. She made a muffled noise that tickled Katherine's nipples. Allowing her prisoner to breathe, she asked again, "Do you submit now?" "Yes..yes Katherine. I submit to you," Elaine answered, smiling up at her muscular lover. Katherine couldn't resist. She flexed her legs and tightened the hold. Elaine grimaced, but made no move to try and free herself. She lay docilely, looking up at her captor, eyes full of admiration. "I give, Katherine. You win. I'll do anything you say." "I want you to beg me for mercy." "Mercy, please. I beg you." Katherine grinned, as she loosened her hold. "Now I'll be able to tell my grandchildren about the time I made the women's world champion beg me for mercy." "Your grandchildren?" Elaine asked dubiously. "Well, someone's grandchildren then," Katherine laughed, and leaned down to kiss Elaine. They soon wound up in bed, slept little, but eventually drifted off. When they awoke a few hours later, Elaine was still curled up in Katherine's arms. They made love again, showered together, made love again in the shower and once more on the bed before finally getting dressed. Katherine made breakfast. They ate quietly. There was little to say, it seemed. As they held a long hug, Elaine with her coat on and both with tears in their eyes, Katherine whispered, "you know, it's not goodbye. I'll be in touch...and you know I'll be cheering for you, wherever I am." "I know," Elaine sniffed. "but I'm going to miss you so much." "Me too." "I'd better go, Elaine said, giving Katherine one last hug. They exchanged a final, passionate kiss and Elaine stepped into the hallway. Katherine watched from her doorway, waved goodbye as she entered the lift, then stepped back into her apartment and closed the door. She took several long, deep breaths, but it was no use. She was unable to stem the flow of tears that came, and came and came until, at last, she was all cried out.
